Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 141 Helpless
Xuzhou.

"Liu Shijun, although the main force of the Yellow Turban Army has been wiped out, there are small groups of remnants of the Yellow Turban Army who are active in Xuzhou, looting the people and causing great harm. Please Liu Shijun send troops to suppress the bandits and restore peace to the people."

Liu Bei nodded when he heard Mi Zhu's words, "Zi Zhong is right."

After saying this, Liu Bei turned his head to look at Cao Bao again, "Mr. Cao, do you have any suggestions?"

Cao Bao hurriedly handed over his hand and said, "Shijun Liu, they are just some remnants of the Yellow Turban Army. There is nothing to worry about. Let Lu You lead the troops and we will definitely destroy these remnants of the bandits."

Lu You is a general in the Danyang army and Cao Bao's right-hand man.

Lu You stood up in a hurry, cupped his hands and said, "Liu Shijun, I am willing to go."

Seeing this scene, Liu Bei was a little displeased, but there was no change on his face, and he said with a smile.

"It's great that General Lu is willing to go, so please go back and prepare, General Lu, and leave immediately tomorrow morning."

Lu You cupped his hands in confusion, "Obey."

Jian Yong looked at Lu You's leaving back, and suddenly said, "Mr. Liu, Cao Mengde is stationed in Xiaopei. Although there is no change for the time being, we have to guard against it. Pengcheng must be guarded by heavy troops to ensure the safety of Xuzhou."

Hearing this, Liu Bei turned to look at Cao Bao again.

Seeing this, Cao Bao hurriedly cupped his hands, "Liu Shijun, I am willing to go."

Jian Yong hurriedly waved his hands and said with a smile, "How can you bother Mr. Cao? I think Liu Shijun's second brother, Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang are not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also quite strategic. Why don't we let him go?"

When Guan Yu heard this, he hurried forward and cupped his hands, "The general is willing to go."

Liu Bei nodded, "Alright, Prime Minister Cao just stay in Xiapi, and let them do the rest."

Seeing this scene, Cao Bao couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then reacted, his expression couldn't help but change.

"Liu Shijun, should I go down?"

Liu Bei waved his hand and said with a smile, "Cao Xiang, don't you even trust Yun Chang?"

Hearing this, Cao Bao could only sigh inwardly, and cupped his hands with a wry smile.

When Lu You went to suppress the bandits, he only brought one or two thousand people, but Guan Yu led troops to defend Pengcheng, the more the better!
In this way, I am afraid that there will not be many soldiers left.

After a long time, I am afraid that all the Danyang soldiers under him will belong to Guan Yu.

But now that the matter has come to this, Cao Bao can't think about anything except sighing.

……

That night, Lu You and other generals went to Cao Bao's mansion and complained one after another.

"Cao Xiang, Liu Shijun's move is obviously to let Guan Yu take charge of the army."

"Yes, in this way, Prime Minister Cao will have no soldiers to use."

Hearing what everyone said, Cao Bao sneered, "Everyone, do you think Liu Shijun is stronger or weaker than Cao Mengde?"

When everyone heard the words, they were taken aback for a moment, and then turned to look at Cao Bao.

Cao Bao said slowly, "When Cao Mengde attacked Xuzhou, everyone saw how brave his soldiers were, so I think Cao Mengde is stronger, are you right?"

Lu You asked tentatively, "Mr. Cao, what do you mean?"

"Ha ha!"

Cao Bao suddenly laughed, "I mean, everyone wait and see what happens, haha."

When he was in Xiaopei, he had already seen that Cao Mengde wanted to win him over.

Originally he was still hesitating, but now that Liu Bei had already made his move, there was no need to be polite.

……

Jizhou.

Yuan Shao sat in the middle, and Jizhou's civil and military forces stood on both sides.

Yuan Shao looked majestic, looking at the person in front of him, with a bit of contempt in his eyes.

"Lu Feng first wants to send me a treasure?"

Li Yan, who was standing under the high platform, hurriedly cupped his hands, "Yuan Gong is highly respected and respected by the world. Marquis Wen occasionally got some treasures, and he didn't dare to enjoy them to himself, so he sent them to dedicate them to Yuan Gong."

Yuan Shao tapped the table with his knuckles impatiently, "Lu Fengxian still has a treasure, which is really interesting, what is it, take it out and see."

Li Yan hurriedly took out a box wrapped in brocade, and carefully handed it to the guard next to him.

The guard sent the box to the table in front of Yuan Shao, saw Yuan Shao's beckoning eyes, and stretched out his hand to open the brocade cloth.

As the brocade fell, a beautifully crafted box appeared in front of everyone.

Yuan Shao looked at the exquisite patterns on the box, and his originally lazy eyes became somewhat interested.

After getting Yuan Shao's permission, the guard stretched out his hand and slowly opened the lid of the box, and the contents inside appeared in front of everyone.

When Yuan Shao saw the things in the box, his eyes couldn't help but brighten, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The beautifully shaped box was opened, and the four crystal clear cups shone with a unique light in front of everyone.

Yuan Shao reached out and took out a cup, felt the coolness coming from the cup, looked it over carefully, and nodded in satisfaction after a while.

"What a sweet baby."

Yuan Shao's family background is prominent, and the name of the four generations and three princes has spread far and wide.

Growing up in such a family, I have never seen any treasures, but I have never seen such a treasure in a box.

He has seen many glazed vessels, but even the best glazed vessels are not as good as the ones in front of him.

The cup is smooth and delicate, holding it in front of your eyes, you can actually see the person on the opposite side, so clear, this is the first time Yuan Shao has seen it.

Everyone under the stage was stunned when they saw the glass Yuan Shao picked up.

Yuan Shao looked at the cup for a long time, couldn't help laughing, and waved to the guards, "Show it to everyone."

The guard carefully picked up a glass and handed it to everyone.

Jizhou Wenwu looked at such a crystal clear glass, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Good baby!"

"It's so transparent, this is the first time I've seen it in my life."

"I really didn't expect that there is such a wonderful thing in the world."

Li Yan heard everyone talking, his heart moved, and he said hastily, "Everyone, if you drink tea with this cup, it will be the greatest enjoyment in your life."

When everyone heard the words, they nodded.

Yuan Shao was even more delighted, "Li Yan, go back and tell Lu Fengxian that I am very satisfied with the gift he sent."

After speaking, Yuan Shao hurriedly dismissed everyone and went back with the brocade box to appreciate it carefully.

The civil and military men of Jizhou, after the withdrawal, there were already people around Li Yan, asking in a low voice where the glass came from.

When I heard that this product came from Yanzhou, I immediately moved my mind and planned to go back to buy some and enjoy it.

……

The scene that happened in Jizhou was also played out in various places. It didn't take long for many people to know that there was a magical baby in Yanzhou.

After the rich people heard the news, they either asked someone to buy it, or they came to Yanzhou to buy it in person.

For a time, Yanzhou became famous and rich.

At the same time, another industry in Yanzhou, furniture, also began to be quietly sold in various places.

However, everyone thought that the furniture was produced by local people, but no one knew that in fact, Lu Bu from Yanzhou was the real big boss.

While Lu Bu was making money from the glass, the emperor Liu Xie, who had fled from Chang'an to Luoyang, was furiously throwing the glass.

clap clap!

"Aren't they willing?"

Yang Biao and Zhu Jun's expressions were a bit ugly, but they could only cup their hands and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that they don't want to, but that the local situation is unstable. I'm afraid that your majesty will be in danger if they go down. They have good intentions and no malice."

"Good intentions?"

Liu Xie snorted coldly, "Are all my good ministers so kind?"

Yang Biaoqiang smiled and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, since they refuse, why don't you send a letter elsewhere?"

"elsewhere?"

Liu Xie sighed, "Where else?"

Hearing the emperor's question, the two of them were stunned at the same time, and for a moment, they were speechless.

At first, they wrote to Cao Cao, thinking that Cao Cao would agree to come to escort him, but they never expected that Cao Cao was defeated and couldn't take care of himself, so he would not go to meet him.

Next, they sent letters to various places. Jingzhou and Yizhou replied respectively, expressing that the local chaos was too chaotic and not suitable for the emperor to go there. It is to meet the emperor.

As for the Yuan Shao brothers, although they received letters, they didn't even reply, obviously they didn't want to meet the emperor.

As for Liu Yao from Yangzhou, another clan of the Han Dynasty, he was indeed beaten and retreated steadily, and he was about to perish, let alone become an emperor.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Liu Xie sighed, "Where haven't you delivered the letter now?"

At this time, the two thieves Li and Guo had already led the army towards Luoyang. If no one came to escort them, the emperor might be in danger.

Yang Biao cupped his hands with a wry smile, "Jiangdong Sun Ce, Youzhou Gongsun Zan, Xuzhou Liu Bei!"

When he came here, Yang Biao paused, and then continued, "There is also Lu Bu in Yanzhou."

"No."

Hearing this name, Liu Xie immediately refused, "I will never agree."

Back when Lv Bu was under Dong Zhuo's subordinates, he acted as a pawn for a tiger, and the emperor hated him so much, how could he let him come to protect him?

Zhu Jun suddenly said, "Gongsun Zan of Youzhou is not allowed either."

Yang Biao frowned, "You mean, about Liu Shijun?"

Zhu Jun nodded, gritted his teeth, and said, "Liu Shijun is a clan member of the Han family, and if Gongsun Zan dares to do anything, such an ungrateful person must never be entrusted to him."

Speaking of this, Zhu Jun sighed, "If the Son of Heaven really goes to Youzhou, once things change, the consequences will be disastrous. At that time, you and I will become eternal sinners."

Hearing this, Yang Biao's heart trembled, and he shook his head, "Yes, you must not go to Youzhou."

Speaking of this, Yang Biao frowned suddenly, "If you can't go to these two places, then only Xuzhou and Yanzhou are left."

Zhu Jun said slowly, "I heard that Liu Bei is the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, and he is considered a relative of the Han family. If he is allowed to come, it should be very suitable."

Yang Biao shook his head, "Although Liu Bei is the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, his strength is weak, and I am afraid that he is not enough to protect the emperor!"

Hearing what the two said, Liu Xie suddenly roared angrily, "Since Liu Bei can't do it, is there only Yanzhou Lu Bu left?"

At this point, Liu Xie roared again, "No, I will never agree."

As soon as the words fell, footsteps came from outside the door.

"The chariot general asks to see you."

Liu Xie was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Come in."

As the words fell, Yang Feng walked in from the door anxiously.

Yang Feng was originally a general of the Baibo Army of the remaining part of the Yellow Turban Uprising Army, and later followed Liangzhou Warlord Li Jue.

Li Jue fought against Guo Si. Yang Feng first helped Li Jue fight against Guo Si. Later, seeing that both of them were useless, he broke away from them and escorted Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie from Chang'an to Luoyang. .

"Your Majesty, it's not good. The troops of the two thieves Li and Guo are only 40 miles away from Luoyang."

"what?"

Hearing Yang Feng's words, everyone was shocked.

"So fast?"

Yang Feng cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Li and Guo went straight to Luoyang, why don't you leave for now to avoid the edge, and then find another plan?"

Liu Xie sighed, "Where can we go after leaving Luoyang?"

Yang Biao suddenly said, "Your Majesty, how about going to Yanzhou?"

Zhu Jun waved his hands hastily, "No, there is Lu Bu in Yanzhou, how can we go there?"

Yang Biao said with a wry smile, "Although Lu Bu is unbearable, if it weren't for him, who could get rid of Dong Zhuo?

What's more, after getting rid of Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu and Wang Sikong are in charge of the government, and they treat His Majesty a hundred times better than Dong Zhuo. "

Speaking of this, Yang Biao sighed, "It's much better to fall into the hands of Lu Bu than to fall into the hands of Li and Guo."

Hearing this, Zhu Jun also sighed, but did not speak.

Yang Feng's eyes lit up, "Your Majesty, Lu Bu is brave, why don't we rush towards Yanzhou and send someone to deliver the message and ask him to escort him?"

Hearing what everyone said, Liu Xie suddenly sighed, his eyes full of sadness.

In this world, it is unexpected that no loyal person can be found, and in the end, they still have to go to Lu Bu, which is extremely sad.

That night, the emperor and his party set off overnight and rushed towards Yanzhou.

At the same time, several messengers also set off from Luoyang and galloped towards Yanzhou.

……

Yanzhou.

Li Dian sat at the table, facing Li Zheng and Li Jin.

His mood has already changed from anger at the beginning to indifference.

The Battle of Puyang is now clear. No matter what he does, Cao Cao will definitely lose.

Even if Cao Cao has a strong army and a large number of people, so what, in this city, it is like a single army, no one supports him, and failure is only a matter of time.

After thinking about this clearly, Li Dian felt a little grateful to Li Jin in his heart. If it wasn't for him to imprison himself, he might have died in that battle.

And now that Cao Cao has left Yanzhou, he is calm now and is no longer as hostile to Li Jin as before.

Li Zheng poured Li Dian a glass of wine, "Cousin, why, haven't you calmed down after so long?"

Li Dian drank the wine in his glass, "They are all my brothers, how can I remember them for a lifetime?"

Hearing this sentence, Li Jin was overjoyed, "Cousin, I knew you wouldn't hate me, come on, let's have another drink."

Li Zheng watched the two drinking, and suddenly asked, "Cousin, do you want to hide here forever?"

Hearing this, Li Dian frowned slightly, turned to look at Li Zheng, "Zhicheng, what do you mean by that?"

Li Jin laughed, "Cousin, what else can you mean, I just want to ask if you agree?"
