Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 144
Zhang Miao's eyes lit up when he heard Chen Gong's words, and asked with a smile, "Gongtai, do you want to use Liu Bei to contain Cao Mengde?"

Chen Gong nodded, "I've heard for a long time that the three Liu Bei brothers are all extraordinary in martial arts. They made great achievements in the crusade against the Yellow Turban Bandits. Now they occupy Xuzhou, which is enough to compete with Cao Mengde."

Zhang Miao shook his head, "That's the case, but Liu Bei took Cao Mengde in, so how could the two of them start arguing again?"

Chen Gong sneered, "It's just simple, just one letter can turn the two into enemies."

Zhang Miao was taken aback, "Gongtai, how is this possible?"

Chen Gong waved his hand, "Meng Zhuo, we just need to send Liu Bei a letter stating that we want to unite with him to eliminate Cao Mengde together, and this will surely happen."

Zhang Miao shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Gongtai, since Liu Bei has taken in Cao Mengde, how can he join forces with us? It's absolutely impossible."

Chen Gong sneered, "Meng Zhuo, if Cao Mengde reads this letter, what do you think will happen?"

Zhang Miao waved his hand, "Cao Mengde is very suspicious. After seeing this letter, he will definitely be angry with Liu Bei. However, how could he read this letter?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Miao suddenly realized, and suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Gong, "Could it be that you want to let Cao Mengde read this letter on purpose?"

"Ha ha!"

Chen Gong looked up to the sky and laughed, "That's right, we just need to pretend to let Cao Mengde see this letter, even if he doesn't believe it, he will be suspicious."

Zhang Miao's eyes lit up, "As long as Cao Mengde becomes suspicious, he will find a way to get rid of Liu Bei to ensure his own safety."

Chen Gong nodded, "The three brothers Liu Bei are not just waiting for you. It may not be so easy for Cao Mengde to take them. At that time, both sides are bound to lose, and we can reap the benefits."

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard what the two said, and nodded with a smile, "Okay, since that's the case, we will act according to this plan and send a letter to Cao Mengde."

Chen Gong smiled and cupped his hands, "Marquis Wen, we have to send two letters, one letter was discovered by Cao Mengde, and the other letter has to be delivered to Liu Bei, so that he is prepared and the two can fight each other." Be intense."

……

Xuzhou.

Liu Bei looked at the few cronies in front of him, frowned slightly, and said slowly.

"What do you guys think about taking back the five counties of Xuzhou?"

Mi Zhu stepped forward and cupped his hands, and said with a wry smile, "Shijun Liu, if Cao Mengde hadn't come to Xuzhou, everything would be easy to talk about, but now, alas!"

Hearing Mi Zhu's last sigh, Liu Bei couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Hateful Cao Mengde, if he hadn't restrained his troops, how could he be in a dilemma.

At this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

"My lord, there are messengers from Yanzhou."

Hearing the words outside the door, Liu Bei's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly shouted.

"Let him in."

As the words fell, several soldiers came in from the door with a middle-aged man in common clothes.

The middle-aged man's left arm was injured, and his face was full of pain. When he saw Liu Bei, he reluctantly cupped his hands, then took out a letter and handed it to the soldier next to him.

"Liu Shijun, this is a letter from my Marquis Wen."

Jian Yong looked at the injury on his arm, and suddenly asked, "Why are you here alone for such an important matter?"

The middle-aged man shook his head, "It's not just me, there are more than a dozen of us. However, we met Cao Jun halfway, and I was the only one left, so I barely delivered the letter."

Looking at the new Liu Bei, when he heard the middle-aged man's words, his hands trembled, his face couldn't help changing, and then he returned to normal and waved.

"Go down and rest first, wait a minute, and I will write back to you."

"As ordered!"

After the middle-aged man left the hall, Liu Bei sighed, handed the letter in his hand to Mi Zhu, but did not speak.

Mi Zhu took the letter and looked at it carefully. After seeing the content clearly, he couldn't help it, and cold sweat gradually oozes from his forehead.

"Oops!"

When everyone heard the words, they all asked, "Mi Biejia, what happened?"

Mi Zhu sighed, and said with a wry smile, "The content of this letter is that Lu Fengxian wants to unite with us to eliminate Cao Mengde who is stationed in Xiaopei."

"what?"

After everyone heard Mi Zhu's words, they all exclaimed in surprise, only Zhang Fei didn't react and said carelessly.

"A slave with three surnames wants to unite with his elder brother. It's a dream."

Mi Zhu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and said with a wry smile, "General Yide, the matter is not that simple, have you forgotten what the messenger said just now?"

Jian Yong nodded, "Whether we agree to Lu Fengxian or not, Cao Mengde already knows about it."

Mi Zhu sighed, "If Cao Mengde doesn't know, we can reject Lu Fengxian, but what should we do now?"

Sun Qian pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "Why don't we send someone to deliver a letter to Cao Mengde to clarify the matter and resolve the misunderstanding between the two parties."

Jian Yong shook his head, "Gongyou, I'm afraid that if we explain now, not only will it not work, but it will backfire.

It would be even worse if he suspected that we were placating them on the surface, but we were secretly preparing to do something. "

Hearing this, Sun Qian smiled wryly, "Could it be that there is no way to crack it?"

Hearing what everyone said, Liu Bei frowned, and said slowly, "Since there is no solution, you don't have to think about it. Just keep Pengcheng and Xiapi safe and sound, and the rumors will be destroyed by themselves."

When everyone heard the words, they cupped their hands one after another, "Obey."

……

Xiaopei.

After reading the letter, Cao Cao gritted his teeth with an ugly expression on his face.

"Little Lu Bu actually wants to unite with Liu Xuande, it's really hateful."

Cheng Yu hastily stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Master, since Liu Xuande takes us here, he won't agree to Lu Bu'er."

Lu Qian was worried, "But, if Liu Xuande really agrees, wouldn't we be in danger?"

Xiahoudun snorted coldly, "Since that's the case, why don't we act first, so that we don't have to worry about Xuzhou."

Cheng Yu waved his hand, "General Xiahou and the three brothers Liu Xuande are not idlers. If they attack Xuzhou by force, even if they succeed, they will definitely lose troops and generals. If Lu Bu comes to attack while taking advantage of this opportunity, what should we do?"

Hearing this, Xiahou Dun was stunned, and then roared angrily, "But now that Liu Xuande wants to join forces with Lu Bu'er, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage if we don't do it first?"

Cheng Yu shook his head, "Don't worry, General Xiahou. Liu Xuande left us here just to resist Lu Bu's attack. How could he join forces with Lu Bu'er?"

Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded secretly in his heart, and then turned his gaze to Xun Yu who had been silent all this time.

"Wen Ruo, what do you think?"

Hearing Cao Cao's question, Xun Yu cupped his hands and said slowly, "My lord, although Liu Xuande has occupied Xuzhou, but for a short time, he is comparable to our army in terms of strength, or even weaker.

It is for this reason that he takes us in, and he also wants to use us to resist Yanzhou's attack.

It can be seen from this point that Liu Bei is actually very clear that if we lose, Lu Fengxian's next target may be them.

Therefore, when Liu Bei's strength is unable to compete with Lu Fengxian, he will never send troops against us. "

Hearing this, Xiahou Dun's eyes lit up, "Wen Ruo, what do you mean to say, even if Lu Bu's son joins forces with Liu Bei, Liu Bei won't send troops against us?"

Xun Yu nodded and said slowly, "It's absolutely impossible."

Lu Qian frowned, "However, we have to be on guard. If Liu Bei sends troops, wouldn't it catch us by surprise?"

Cao Cao waved his hand suddenly, "It doesn't matter, as long as everyone sticks to the city, even if Liu Bei comes, there is nothing we can do."

Cheng Yu suddenly said, "My lord, should we send someone to contact Prime Minister Cao?"

Cao Cao frowned, "If Liu Xuande knows about this, I'm afraid Cao Xiang will be at a disadvantage."

Cheng Yu shook his head, "My lord, although Prime Minister Cao wants to help us, he hasn't really made up his mind and is still thinking about it."

When Lu Qian heard this, his eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile, "Mr. Zhongde, do you mean to let Liu Bei know?"

Cheng Yu nodded, "That's right, as long as we send someone to contact Prime Minister Cao, once Liu Bei finds out, he will definitely be dissatisfied with him. At that time, even if Prime Minister Cao wants to refuse, I'm afraid it will be impossible."

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Zhongde, you can deal with this matter."

"Everyone, go back to the camp and step up the training of soldiers, don't slack off."

When everyone heard the words, they cupped their hands one after another, "Obey."

……

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

Amidst the sound of shouting and killing, the chariot that the emperor was riding in was already bumping in an unbelievable manner during the extremely fast running. As for the emperor in the carriage, he was also shaking at an extremely high speed, staggering from side to side.

Behind the chariot, countless civil and military officials had no chariots to drive, so they could only run wildly behind.

Countless Xiliang troops came all over the mountains and fields, they were extremely ferocious, and the soldiers and horses escorting them retreated steadily.

Some civil and military officials who couldn't run away had only one end when they met the brutal Xiliang soldiers.

Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty sat in the carriage, his face was pale, and he kept praying in his heart.

My ancestors and ancestors must bless me to tide over the difficulties and restore the majesty of the Han family.

Hateful, why haven't the soldiers and horses from Yanzhou come yet!
Chariot General Yang Feng galloped forward, "Your Majesty, let's go on horseback. If this continues, the enemy may catch up."

Liu Xie nodded tremblingly, and was about to speak, when suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes in front of him.

Hearing this voice, Liu Xie's expression changed, and he shouted in a trembling voice, "Could it be, God really wants to kill me."

Yang Feng looked forward, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help shouting, "Your Majesty, the soldiers from Yanzhou are here, we are saved."

Liu Xie was stunned, he couldn't believe his ears, he hurriedly leaned out of the carriage and looked outside.

Sure enough, from the opposite side of the official road, a group of soldiers and horses were killed, and a large flag fluttered in the wind.

Although the banner was shaking constantly, the words on it could be vaguely seen clearly, it was the word "Lu".

Liu Xie was ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly shouted, "General Yang, go and tell them, escort."

Yang Feng responded hastily and sent people to greet him.

Not long after, a group of Yanzhou soldiers came from the front and rushed to the carriage. Two generals jumped off their horses and came to meet the emperor.

"Gao Shun, Li Dian is here to escort you under the order of Marquis Wen."

Liu Xie waved his hand tremblingly, "Two generals, go and drive away the two thieves Li and Guo first, and speak slowly when you have something to say."

"The last will obey."

At the same time, Li Jue and Guo Si, who were chasing after, were shocked when they heard the report from the soldiers in front.

"What are you talking about, soldiers and horses of Lu Bu's army?"

"It's true. Under the banner of Lu Bu's army, they have already killed them."

Guo Si turned his head to look at Li Jue, and asked hurriedly, "General, now that Lu Bu is here, what should we do? Should we continue to chase?"

Hearing this, Li Jue suddenly sneered, "Lu Bu, heh heh, back then in Chang'an, he was beaten like a mouse by us, this time, let him taste our strength again."

"Pass down the order and hit me hard. If anyone dares to retreat, he will be killed without mercy."

Following Li Jue's order, Xiliang soldiers and horses once again launched a fierce attack in the direction of Shengjia.

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

Han Xian and Dong Cheng, who were resisting in the front, immediately felt the pressure increase, and they were about to be unable to resist. Suddenly, a group of soldiers and horses came up from behind and passed through the middle of the two soldiers and horses like a nail. Generally, it is set among the crowd.

Facing the attack of Xiliang soldiers all over the mountains and plains, Gao Shun was not afraid, he rode forward and shouted.

"Where is the camp?"

Following Gao Shun's shout, 800 hoplites strode forward, brandishing long-handled swords in their hands, and firmly blocked the front.

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

The Xiliang soldiers were all fierce men. When they saw that someone dared to block the way, they were furious, and immediately rushed forward brandishing their weapons, trying to defeat the enemy with bravery.

But unfortunately, what they encountered was the trapped camp.

Those who want to enter the trapped camp must be the elite of the army's elite. Not only do they need to be brave in combat, but they also have extremely high requirements in terms of physical fitness.

If you are weak, even if you can barely wear the heavy armor, you will definitely not last long.

Putting on heavy armor, these strong men are almost unafraid of the enemy's sword, and just use the long-handled knife in their hands to slash the enemy.

The soldiers trapped in the camp lined up and kept waving their big knives, harvesting the soldiers of the Xiliang army who rushed over.

Although the soldiers of the Xiliang Army were brave, they saw their comrades flying like moths to a flame, never returning. After a while, they also began to feel scared.

Han Xian and Dong Cheng were overjoyed when they saw Xiliang soldiers turning to attack Yanzhou soldiers and horses.

How much Yanzhou's soldiers and horses are injured is none of their business, as long as they preserve their own strength, that is the most important thing.

But it is a pity that they were not happy for a long time. Seeing that the Yanzhou soldiers and horses could not be defeated, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army turned around and attacked the soldiers and horses of the two of them.

In this way, Yanzhou's soldiers and horses were much more relaxed, and the pressure fell on Han Xian and Dong Cheng again.

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"
