Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 161
Lu Bu sat on the main seat, looked at the generals in front of him, and said slowly.

"The situation here in Xudu is stable for the time being. The Marquis is going to return to Yanzhou. Which of you would like to stay here to defend."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, "Marquis Wen, why did you go back so soon?"

Cheng Lian was a little dissatisfied, "Marquis Wen, when we arrived in Xudu, we saved His Majesty, but we didn't get any rewards, and instead we got angry."

Wei Xu stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Marquis Wen, why don't you let His Majesty designate you as a general, commanding the world's soldiers and horses, and ordering the world at that time, wouldn't it be majestic?"

Zhang Liao hastily stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Marquis Wen, absolutely not."

Lu Bu turned to look at Zhang Liao, "General Zhang, why not?"

In fact, Lu Bu had already discussed this matter with Chen Gong and others, and he had already made a decision in his heart. The reason why he asked, of course, was that he had other ideas.

Zhang Liao cupped his hands, "Marquis Wen, His Majesty is on our side now, even if Marquis Wen wants to get the post of General, he should be able to do so.

However, although our army occupies Xudu and other places, its strength is still weak. Once Marquis Wen is named a general, although he is very powerful, he will become the target of public criticism.

Let's not talk about those in the distance, just talk about Yuan Shao in Jizhou. If he hears that Marquis Wen has become a general and his position is higher than him, he will definitely feel dissatisfied.

At that time, Yuan Shao will send troops to attack Yanzhou regardless of the temporary stability, and Cao Mengde in the south is still there, and it is very likely that he will take advantage of this opportunity to attack. At that time, our army will face the enemy on both sides, and the enemies on both sides will not be taken lightly Seniors, the odds are slim. "

Although Zhang Liao said that the chances of victory are not high, this is just his words in a tactful way. If he said it directly, he would face the coalition forces of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and he would definitely lose.

Lu Bu nodded when he heard Zhang Liao's words, "General Zhang, if I face Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's coalition forces, do you think I will lose?"

Zhang Liao hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Nine times out of ten, he will lose."

Wei Xu snorted coldly, "General Zhang, I want to build up the ambitions of others and destroy my own prestige. Our army and people are invincible. Even if Yuan Shao and Cao Cao join forces, so what. As long as we defeated Cao Jun last time, let the people go out of the city. I don't believe that they can hold back the tide of people, and by that time, I'm afraid they will be the ones to lose, hehe."

Zhang Liao hastily waved his hands, "General Wei, although he was able to win last time, he suffered heavy losses. If Marquis Wen hadn't strategized and prepared food, I'm afraid the common people won't be the only ones defeated by Cao Jun."

Hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but nodded. Whenever he thought of this, he was still a little shocked.

At that time, people from all over the country came to support and finally defeated Cao Mengde.

I was really happy at the time, and felt that I was invincible in what the people wanted.

But thinking about it later, almost tens of thousands of people gathered in Puyang City at that time.

One of the reasons why these people came from all over the country was that they had no food to eat, and coming to Puyang was also a chance for them to survive.

At that time, Cao Mengde was indeed defeated. Because of the use of full warehouse skills, the crisis was also resolved.

But if there is no full warehouse skill and there is not so much food for the people to eat, what will be the consequences?
Will it be when they are all too hungry to eat?
Lu Bu didn't dare to think about it, but he kept warning himself in his heart that this kind of thing must never happen again.

These common people are double-edged swords, they can kill the enemy, and in turn, they can also kill themselves.

Therefore, this kind of behavior should be avoided as much as possible, so as not to hurt yourself.

Lu Bu raised his head to look at Zhang Liao, nodded with a smile, "General Zhang, what you said is very good."

Speaking of this, Lu Bu paused, looked around, and said loudly.

"Zhang Liao, Li Dian listen to the order."

Hearing this, the two hurried out, cupped their hands and said, "The end is here."

Lu Bu nodded, "Order you two to station 5000 troops in Xudu, to guard against the two thieves, Li and Guo, in Luoyang, and to guard against the enemy coming from the south."

"As ordered."

Hearing these words, Zhang Liao was overjoyed and hurriedly cupped his hands. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lu Bu say again.

"In addition, you stay here, and then recruit 5000 soldiers from the refugees, and train them into soldiers as soon as possible. There must be no mistakes."

Hearing this, Zhang Liao suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Bu with an expression of disbelief in his eyes.

For a long time, from Bingzhou to Yanzhou, Lu Bu meant to value himself, but he never let himself stand alone.

Zhang Liao also knew the reason very well, but he never expected that today, Lu Bu would take the initiative to delegate power to himself and let himself stand alone. Not only did he leave 5000 soldiers and horses, but he also asked himself to recruit 5000 people. Isn't this 1 Ten thousand soldiers?

Zhang Liao knew that Lü Bu was jealous of him and feared that he would have evil intentions, so he never let him lead the army alone.

Because of this matter, Zhang Liao has always been depressed, but he has nothing to think about, so he can only talk less when he is in the army, and try not to make Lu Bu suspicious.

But everyone has ideals and aspirations, let alone someone as capable as Zhang Liao, how can he be reconciled?
In Lu Bu's army, Zhang Liao was the most depressed person, bar none.

He is talented, but he doesn't dare to use it, and every time he speaks, he must consider Lu Bu's feelings, so as not to let others take advantage of him.

For a normal person, this is simply a painful torture.

Now, Lu Bu let himself lead the army alone, doesn't that mean that he has room to play.

Although he heard about Lu Bu's appointment just now, Zhang Liao still couldn't believe it.

"Marquis Wen, do you really want the last general to stay?"

Lv Bu nodded, seeing the excitement flashing in Zhang Liao's eyes, he waved his hand, "General Zhang, if you think you can't do it, this Marquis can withdraw your appointment."

Zhang Liao was taken aback, and cupped his hands almost subconsciously and said, "Marquis Wen, the general is willing."

Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao, pondered for a moment, and said slowly, "General Zhang, although our army has occupied Yanzhou, we are between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and may face their attack at any time, so you know the situation around your eyes. It can only be considered with the unknown situation.

As for Xudu, the terrain is superior and there is a large area of ​​land that can be reclaimed. It can be regarded as the rear of our army, and it can also be regarded as our army's retreat. Once Yanzhou loses, the only place our army can retreat is Xudu. "

Speaking of this, Lu Bu paused, and looked at Zhang Liao with burning eyes, "Staying here is no small matter, and there are many difficulties, but I believe that General Zhang will be able to do it."

Hearing these words, Zhang Liao was shocked all over, and a long-lost warm current spread in his heart. At the same time, he suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders, which made him excited and uneasy.

From what he said just now, he could hear Lu Bu's expectations for him.

Perhaps it was their last retreat, and now, leaving the retreat to oneself, not to mention the size of the official position, but just the importance of it, is enough to move Zhang Liao beyond words.

"Don't worry, Marquis Wen, the general will definitely guard Xudu, and will never let Marquis Wen down."

Li Dian also hurried forward and said, "Marquis Wen, as long as we are still here, Xu Du will never be lost."

Lu Bu nodded in satisfaction, "You two generals, step down, I trust you."

Only then did the two retreat to the side, subconsciously glanced at each other, and both saw excitement in each other's eyes.

Zhang Liao was very excited that he could be reused, and Li Dian was even more excited because he was a general and could not be calmed down for a long time.

Lu Bu turned his head to look at Han Hao again, and said with a smile, "General Han, I hope you can make proper arrangements for the refugees here."

Han Hao hastily stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Don't worry, Marquis Wen, there will be no mistakes on the final side."

When Yang Feng heard that Lu Bu was leaving, his heart moved, and he hurried forward to cup his hands, "Marquis Wen, the general is familiar with Xu Du and Luoyang, why don't you let the general stay?"

Hearing Yang Feng's words, Lu Bu frowned slightly, then nodded, "General Yang, since you are willing to stay, the general agrees to you, but you have to remember that Xudu is dominated by General Zhang, do you understand? "

Hearing this, Yang Feng's face changed slightly, but then he cupped his hands, "I will understand in the end."

The reason why he wanted to stay was because once he and Lu Bu left Xudu, he might have to obey orders.

But staying at Xudu's side, he is the leader in the army, and he is more comfortable with himself in everything.

But he didn't expect that Lu Bu made him obey Zhang Liao's orders, which made him a little unhappy.

But he also understood that as long as Lu Bu left, even if he didn't obey orders, so what!

Yang Feng stepped aside in satisfaction, Xu Huang who was standing behind him suddenly took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "The final general is willing to follow Marquis Wen to Yanzhou."

It stands to reason that Xu Huang is Yang Feng's general, since Yang Feng stayed, he should stay too.

Lu Bu looked at Xu Huang in surprise, "General Xu, are you really willing to go to Yanzhou with me?"

Xu Huang cupped his hands again, "I will never regret it, and I will obey Wen Hou's orders."

Lu Bu knew Xu Huang's ability, and when he heard that he was going with him, he was overjoyed and said with a smile, "General Xu, since you are willing, I promise you."

Xu Huang was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly cupped his hands, "Thank you, Marquis Wen."

Standing aside, Yang Feng saw that his general wanted to go with Lu Bu. This was a blatant betrayal. He was immediately annoyed, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only snort heavily.

Xu Huang also heard Yang Feng's dissatisfaction, but he didn't care. This time he persuaded Yang Feng to surrender, which was considered to have saved his life.

The reason why he wanted to go to Yanzhou with Lu Bu this time was because he knew very well that although Xu Du was very important, judging from the surrounding situation, there would not be much war.

As a general, since there is no war, where will he go to make meritorious service?
The situation in Yanzhou is unclear, although it may face an attack by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at any time, and there are many crises.

But in this case, it is also the best time to make meritorious deeds.

Xu Huang is very confident. He believes that with his own ability, he will definitely be able to go further, but if he stays with Yang Feng, he may not be able to advance half a step.

Therefore, even if he knew that Yang Feng was very dissatisfied, he could only do this for the sake of his future.

……

Just when Lu Bu wanted to lead his troops back to Yanzhou, Liu Xie was furious in the palace.

"What, you dare to reply like that."

Yang Biao and Zhu Jun didn't dare to speak, they could only hang their hands in silence.

Because they also know that they have nothing to say at this time.

Just now, Jingzhou wrote back, saying that the situation over there was unclear, and for safety reasons, it was really inconvenient for the emperor to go there, and hoped that the emperor would stay in Xudu, and it would not be too late to go when the situation in Jingzhou became clear.

Although Liu Xie is only in his teens, he has experienced too many things that other people have not experienced, which also made him very bad-tempered.

"why?"

Yang Biao looked at Liu Xie's burning eyes, sighed in his heart, and said with a forced smile, "Jingzhou has a complicated terrain and there are many remnants of the Yellow Turbans. It will take some time to clear them up. Your Majesty, please wait patiently until it is safe." In the future, Liu Jingsheng will definitely come to pick up His Majesty."

Liu Xie sighed, "Taiwei Yang, do you think what he said is true?"

Yang Biao nodded hastily, "Of course it's true. Liu Jingsheng is a clan member of the Han family and a Jingzhou shepherd appointed by the imperial court. How could he lie to His Majesty?"

Liu Xie gritted his teeth, "But if the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army can't be wiped out in 10 years, can I just live in Xudu for 10 years?

If Jingzhou cannot be pacified in 20 years, will I live here for 20 years? "

Speaking of this, Liu Xie suddenly broke out, threw a tea bowl on the table heavily on the ground, and said angrily, "The excuses are all excuses. He just doesn't want to take me to Jingzhou."

Zhu Jun suddenly cupped his hands and asked, "Your Majesty, no matter what Liu Jingsheng thinks, it is also true that His Majesty cannot go to Jingzhou now. What should we do in the future?"

"Intend?"

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, remembering the situation in front of him, suddenly sat down weakly, and murmured.

"Now that it's in Lu Fengxian's hands, what are your plans?"

Yang Biao said suddenly, "But Lu Fengxian didn't do anything to His Majesty?"

Hearing these words, Liu Xie was suddenly furious, and opened his mouth wide to shout out Lu Bu's crimes, but finding that there was nothing to say, he finally gritted his teeth and said.

"Lu Fengxian resisted the order and did not obey it. This is a serious crime."

Yang Biao frowned, "Your Majesty is talking about food?"

Liu Xie punched the case hard, "If the food is saved to recruit soldiers, I will have a soldier. At that time, naturally I don't have to be afraid of Lu Fengxian."

When Yang Biao and his wife heard these words, they felt a little awkward, and for a while they smiled wryly.

Using Lu Bu's grain to recruit troops and buy horses, and then to deal with Lu Bu, no matter how you think about it, something seems wrong!

what is this?
It is clearly recorded in the book, typical ungrateful!

Yang Biao coughed lightly, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, when Zhao Yilang went to ask for food, Lu Fengxian did not refuse, but the people refused to agree, which caused the disaster. Speaking of it, it seems that it has nothing to do with Lu Fengxian ah."

Zhu Jun stepped forward and cupped his hands, sighing, "Your Majesty, let's not talk about this time, Lu Fengxian led the troops to rescue him, it seems that there has been no reward yet."

"what!"

Hearing this, Liu Xie suddenly remembered that when Han Siam was in control of the court and committed all kinds of evil, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked Lu Fengxian to escort him.

Lu Fengxian lived up to everyone's expectations. After he came, he easily defeated Han Xian and let himself out of trouble.
