Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

"If Sun Ce doesn't come to attack Huainan, I'm naturally satisfied. How can I attack Yuzhou again?"

"Right now, Sun Ce and Hua Ziyi are enemies. I just breathe a sigh of relief and fight against Liu Bei's boy in Jiangdong."

Shu Shao frowned slightly, and asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, do you know how Liu Bei and Lu Bu competed for Xuzhou?"

Yuan Shu laughed loudly and said, "Of course I know."

"Lu Bu was defeated in Yanzhou, and went to Xuzhou to join Liu Bei, who was arranged by Liu Bei in Xiapi."

"Later, because of Zhang Fei, Cao Bao colluded with Lu Bu and sacrificed Pengcheng, so Lu Bu was able to capture Xuzhou."

"After Lu Bu got Xuzhou, he also placed Liu Bei in Xiapi."

"Later, Lu Bu wanted to destroy Liu, and Liu Bei also wanted to regain Xuzhou. The two fought again. Lu Bu was defeated and went north to join Yuan Benchu."

Shu Shao frowned slightly, and sighed: "Your Majesty has said so much, but he missed the point."

"Liu Bei was able to turn defeat into victory and regain power in Xuzhou because of one person."

Yuan Shu understood this time, and said disapprovingly, "The Prime Minister is talking about that young man named Zhuge Liang, right?"

"This person did not know where he got a design for a Liannu. Lü Bu was unprepared for a while, and Liu Bei destroyed Bingzhou Flying Cavalry, which led to the loss of Xuzhou."

Shu Shao shook his head secretly: "Your Majesty, after the battle of Xuzhou, I sent someone to secretly reveal the detailed battle situation at that time."

"The reason why Liu Bei was able to recapture Xuzhou was not because he destroyed Lu Bu's Bingzhou flying cavalry with a bed crossbow. Zhuge Liang also had an extremely powerful gossip formation."

"Zhuge Liang formed a gossip formation with 5000 people, and he defeated Lu Bu's [-]-odd army. Only then did he turn defeat into victory and become the master of Xuzhou again."

"As a result, Zhuge Liang was highly valued by Liu Bei, and he was named a general of the army, and Liu Bei entrusted all the power of the general and government to him."

"This Zhuge Liang lived up to Liu Bei's trust. Not only did he quickly stabilize Xuzhou, but he also managed Xuzhou in an orderly manner."

"Xuzhou's new army, under Zhuge Liang's training, has already surpassed our army in combat effectiveness. General Ji Ling has already told His Majesty about this."

"Furthermore, Zhuge Liang is even better at the art of war. This time he followed Liu Bei to conquer Jiangdong in the south, and he made many ingenious schemes and successive victories. As a result, half of the cities in Danyang and Wu County have already fallen into Liu Bei's hands."

Yuan Shu heard this, and said disapprovingly, "Ji Ling mentioned this in the battle report, saying that it was Liu Bei's army's surprise attack, and they were unprepared, that's all they lost a few cities."

"Ji Ling has already rectified the soldiers and horses, and I also sent Chen Ji to lead [-] soldiers and horses to support."

"In this way, our army has a full 12 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, while Liu Bei only has 3 soldiers. How can we succeed?"

Shu Shao sighed slightly, and shook his head: "Your Majesty, if what I have expected is correct, your Majesty's move is right in the middle of Zhuge Liang's every plan to defeat him."

Yuan Shu was taken aback, and asked, "Prime Minister, why did you say that?"

Shu Shao replied: "Weichen once sent people to Jingzhou College, the place where Zhuge Liang studied, to inquire about his situation."

"This person is known as Crouching Dragon, and his talent spans the heavens and the earth, and he is an inexhaustible talent."

"Ji Ling's ability is even inferior to Guan Yu, how can he be Zhuge Liang's opponent."

"I have analyzed the Battle of Jiangdong. After Liu Bei's army crossed the Yangtze River, they only raided a few cities, thinking that they had a foothold, and did not continue to go south. They just waited for His Majesty to send troops to support them."

"Your Majesty sent troops to support them. Once these soldiers and horses are defeated, most of them will seek refuge with Liu Bei, which is tantamount to strengthening Liu Bei's strength."

"In addition, without soldiers and horses in Huainan, the defense will naturally be weak."

"After Liu Bei annexed Jiangdong, he sent his troops westward, and encountered fewer obstacles."

"Originally, based on Xuzhou's geographical location, Liu Bei attacked His Majesty. He should first take Huainan and then Jiangdong."

"But he did the opposite. He wanted to use Huainan as a fat meat to attract Sun Ce and Cao Cao's attention to the south, so that he could easily obtain Jiangdong."

"Liu Bei's victory in Jiangdong will naturally increase his strength, and taking advantage of the plan of His Majesty, Sun Ce, and Cao Cao to lose both, and then take Huainan, it will naturally be easy."

"However, neither Sun Ce nor Cao Cao was fooled. Although they fought against each other, they did not fight."

"Therefore, Liu Bei used a poisonous plan to dig Sun Jian's grave and frame Cao Cao to provoke Sun Ce to fight Cao Cao."

"However, there are also capable people and strangers under Cao Cao's command, and they are the first to set the blame."

"Zhuge Liang saw that this plan failed, so he slowed down his attack on Jiangdong, and induced the Lord to send troops to help, so as to consume Huainan's strength."

"Your Majesty, Ji Ling must not be Zhuge Liang's opponent, and Jiangdong must be in danger."

"Based on the plan of a humble minister, His Majesty can use the plan of a strong man to sever his wrists, and order Ji Ling to lead the Jiangdong army to return to Huainan."

"In this way, Liu Bei must divide his troops in Jiangdong to guard the various places, which will inevitably make Liu Bei not have enough troops to attack Huainan."

"At the same time, the main force of our army is concentrated in Huainan, with more than [-] troops, which is enough to ensure the safety of Huainan."

"Of course, there is also a disadvantage in doing so, which will affect Huainan's economy."

When Yuan Shu heard this, he couldn't help being furious: "You actually asked me to abandon the Jiangdong land?"

"I have already lost Yuzhou, and you actually let me abandon Jiangdong again, Shu Zhongying, what are you so worried about? Could it be that Liu Bei bought you off secretly?"

Shu Shao hurriedly knelt on the ground and explained: "Your Majesty, how dare a humble minister do something that would offend His Majesty."

"Liu Beijun, our army, and the previous battle situation of Liu Beijun, our army's battle situation, and the battle situation in Jiangdong."

"This minister has repeatedly deliberated and believes that only this method can preserve His Majesty's Dazhong Dynasty for a long time. Please learn from Your Majesty."

How could Yuan Shu listen to Shu Shao's explanation, and said angrily: "Come here, take Shu Shao down and put him in prison."

After Shu Shao was taken aback, he calmed down, stood up, laughed loudly and said, "Your Majesty, as I expected, it won't be long before Ji Ling's defeat comes."

"At that time, His Majesty will know that this minister's conjecture is correct."

"Come here, come here..." Yuan Shu shouted angrily, "What are they doing for food? Immediately take Shu Shao down and put him in the prison."

"After Ji Ling defeats Liu Bei, I will kill this sycophantic minister again."

Shu Shao sneered, flicked his sleeves, pushed the soldiers away, and said lightly: "No, I will go by myself."

Several soldiers did not dare to use force, so they followed Shu Shao and walked out of the hall.

Just as Shu Shao and the others walked out of the hall, a drawn-out voice came: "Report...Report...Jiangdong Battle Report."

The soldier ran all the way to the outside of the Golden Palace, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, General Ji Ling missed Zhuge Liang's plan and was defeated, losing [-] troops."

"Ah..." Yuan Shu had just picked up the teacup, and was shocked when he heard the words. The teacup also fell on the dragon table with a "clang", and the tea spilled all over the table.
