Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 112
Cheng Yu sighed, "Lord, isn't this what you are doing now?"

Hearing this, Cao Cao suddenly came to his senses, feeling a little ashamed in his heart, and sighed dejectedly.

Cheng Yu sighed and said, "I have always believed that the lord is a person who can do great things, who can not be afraid in the face of danger, and not be surprised by everything.

Although Ben Chugong occupies the land of the three states, he has no ambitions but no talents to match.

Working under such a person, even if he succeeds, he is only following in the footsteps of Han Xin and Peng Yue, and he will not be ruined. "

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu's tone suddenly became passionate, "Although our army is now frustrated, there are still more than 1 soldiers capable of fighting. The generals will return to their hearts, and the counselors will work hard. Don't worry about big things failing."

After Cao Cao heard Cheng Yu's words, he thought of the character of his good friend Yuan Shao, and his own ambition, and couldn't help laughing up to the sky.

"Zhongde, thanks to your persuasion today, otherwise, I would have missed a big deal!"

Next, Cao Cao no longer mentioned this matter, and began to restrain the remnant soldiers together with the generals, preparing for a comeback.

In the Battle of Puyang, Cao Jun was defeated, and most of the soldiers were scattered. After some restraint, they finally gathered 15000 soldiers and horses.

Cao Cao came to discuss with the crowd again, wanting to determine the next action plan.

Cao Hong was the first to stand up and said loudly, "My lord, our army has 15000 soldiers and horses, and all of them are soldiers who dare to fight. Why don't you go back to Puyang, and the general is willing to be the vanguard!"

Looking at the crowd who had regained their fighting spirit, Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction, but was not satisfied with Cao Hong's suggestion, looked around the crowd, and asked slowly.

"Everyone, do you have any suggestions?"

Lu Qian stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, since Jizhou soldiers and horses have arrived in Yanzhou, how about we join forces with them and besiege Lu Bu's army from both sides?"

Hearing this, Cao Cao shook his head, then turned to look at Cheng Yu.

"Zhongde, do you have any suggestions?"

Cheng Yu frowned, and said slowly, "Puyang Lu Bu is powerful, and it will not be easy to take it back.

If it is united with Jizhou soldiers and horses, there will be a situation where the tail cannot be lost, so it is not advisable. "

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu paused, and then said, "It's better to plunder Dingtao, Juye and other places in the east to make a foothold, regroup, and then challenge Lu Bu."

Hearing these words, Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction.

Lu Bu is at the moment when he is strong and prosperous, and he must not compete with him.

Since you can't, then you can only temporarily retreat and make plans.

Cao Cao was about to speak, when suddenly his heart moved, he turned his head to look at Xun Yu who had been silent all this time, and asked tentatively, "Wen Ruo, do you have any suggestions?"

Only then did Xun Yu come to his senses, stepped forward, cupped his hands, "My lord, what Zhong De said is right, at this time our army is weak, and it is really not easy to join forces with Lord Benchu, otherwise, we will be restricted by him and be reduced to as a subsidiary."

Hearing this, Cao Cao remembered what he had almost promised, felt even more ashamed, and nodded, "In this case, our army will go to Dingtao and Juye to make plans."

Xun Yu shook his head, and said slowly, "Assist, Cheng's Li family rebelled, and it will not be easy for our army to occupy Dingtao and Juye, so it is not the best choice."

Cao Cao asked in surprise, "Wen Ruo, since these two places are not the best choice, where should we go?"

Xun Yu arched his hands, "Master, although the main force of the Golden Army has been wiped out, a large number of remnants of the Yellow Turbans, He Yi, Huang Shao, etc., have gathered in Runan and Yingchuan.

These remnants of the Yellow Turbans looted people everywhere, even states and counties in various places, and accumulated a lot of money and food.

And these remnants of the Yellow Turbans are mobs, and I want to destroy them easily.

At that time, our army will wipe out the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and naturally get their money and property, so we can support the army. "

Hearing this, Cao Cao was overjoyed. Just as he was about to speak, Cao Hong couldn't help laughing, "Among the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, there are many young and strong. They can also collect soldiers from them and supplement our strength. It really kills two birds with one stone."

Lu Qian cupped his hands with a smile, "We wiped out these remnants of the Yellow Turbans. The court is happy, and we also wiped out the harm for the people. It should kill four birds with one stone."

Cao Cao looked at the handsome Xun Yu, and his heart was full of relief. His originally dull mood suddenly became lighter at this moment.

This is the power of top strategists.

When others are almost desperate and unable to think about it, often the words of top counselors are like enlightenment, making people see the light again.

After hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao couldn't help looking up to the sky and laughing, "It's really great, pass on the order, and go to Runan early tomorrow morning."

Once Xun Yu's strategy is successful, not only can he win money and food, but also replenish the source of troops. More importantly, if he occupies Runan and Yingchuan, he will have a foothold.

Cao Cao is confident that once he gets supplements, he can compete with Lu Bu.

……

Puyang.

Countless soldiers took the issued notices, posted them everywhere, and kept explaining them.

There were more and more people watching, and when they understood the contents of the notice, they couldn't believe their eyes.

An old man with gray hair suddenly burst into tears after listening to the soldier's explanation.

"My God, old man, I've never heard of it. There are people who are willing to deduct a year's land tax from us. Is this a dream?"

Countless people listened to the old man's cries and wept with joy when they remembered that next year they would not have to pay land taxes and they would be able to eat a few more meals.

"Marquis Wen is such a good man, he is willing to reduce or exempt us from the land tax."

"Folks, we were right to help Marquis Wen beat Cao Jun away. Only Marquis Wen understands our difficulties."

"It's just a pity!"

"Families of the deceased do not have to pay taxes for three years. In addition, the seeds are provided free of charge in the first year, and someone helps to cultivate them. If the family has difficulties, they can also provide financial assistance."

"Marquis Wen is really thoughtful. Alas, those orphans and widows can finally be saved."

"Otherwise, even if you give them land and don't collect their taxes, these orphans and widows won't be able to farm it!"

After the announcement was issued, Puyang City fell into a strange atmosphere.

Knowing the news of the land tax reduction, people wept with joy, but the Battle of Puyang was too tragic, the family members who died in the battle were everywhere, almost every street could hear the sound of crying.

On that day, the business of selling wine was extremely hot. Even people with no money would buy a little wine and go back to celebrate.

All the men, women, old and young in Puyang City are glad that Marquis Wen came to Puyang to save poor people like them.

Even the voices of the carpenters are extremely hot, but there is only one kind of thing they build, and that is the statue of Lu Bu.

At this moment, Lu Bu has resolutely become the backbone of these people, a good man who saved them, completely forgetting how many lives the people of Puyang City paid for this hard-won victory.

The common people are so simple, they will always remember in their hearts when they receive favors from others.
