Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 180
Hearing Yang Biao's reminder, Liu Xie came to his senses, and said with a smile, "Guo Inspector Guo was able to stabilize Yuzhou in a time of great chaos, which is really rare, and he really deserves a reward."

Hearing this, Guo Gong was immediately overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I just obey the holy order and rely on the protection of the emperor first, so that Yuzhou can be stabilized."

Hearing Guo Gong's respectful tone, Liu Xie nodded in satisfaction, "Guo Inspector, since you've come to Xudu, let's stay."

Speaking of this, Liu Xie paused, and said slowly, "Guo Inspector Tingfeng, I now appoint you as Sikong and General Puguo."

When Guo Gong heard the award, he was ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you Your Majesty, I will do my best to assist Your Majesty."

Liu Xie nodded, "Guo Sikong, now that the court is in turmoil, are you willing to stand up and turn the tide?"

Hearing this, Guo Gong hastily cupped his hands, "I am willing to swear allegiance to Your Majesty to the death."

Liu Xie looked solemn, and said slowly, "Guo Sikong, although I am the Son of Heaven, there are some people who disrespect the Holy Order, are you willing to eradicate them for me?"

Guo Gong cupped his hands again, "I am willing."

Speaking of this, Guo Gong cupped his hands and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want me to lead troops to attack the two thieves Li and Guo stationed in Luoyang?"

Liu Xie shook his head, "The two thieves Li and Guo are certainly hateful, but there is one person who should be eradicated first."

Guo Gong's heart trembled, "Your Majesty, who is this person, I am willing to lead troops to attack."

Seeing Guo Gong's heartbroken look, Liu Xie was overjoyed and nodded.

"Guo Sikong, this person is Lu Fengxian in Xudu, do you dare to eradicate him for me?"

"what?"

Hearing this, Guo Gong was immediately surprised, "Your Majesty, are you talking about Lu Fengxian?"

Yang Biao looked at Guo Gong's surprised expression, but there was still a trace of fear hidden, and he hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, we can discuss this matter later."

Liu Xie frowned, but he also knew that this matter should not be rushed.

Yang Biao cupped his hands and said, "Guo Sikong, the palace guards are lax now, why don't you choose some loyal people to guard the palace?"

"Guarding the palace?"

Guo Gong was taken aback, "Yang Taiwei, it's not appropriate to ask a certain subordinate to guard the palace?"

Over the years, those who can guard the palace have been selected thousands of times to be competent.

How can my own soldiers and horses guard the palace when they have just arrived here?
"Taiwei Yang, Lu Fengxian's troops are already guarding the palace. If they are replaced, I'm afraid he won't agree?"

If you want to control the emperor, you must control the palace guards!
Lu Bu has already controlled the guards of the palace, so how could he withdraw easily?
If it caused his dissatisfaction and the two armies met each other, wouldn't it be extremely bad!

Liu Xie snorted coldly, "That's fine, Lu Fengxian has already sent people to urge him several times, and he simply asked him to withdraw the soldiers and horses and replace them with Guo Sikong's soldiers and horses."

Hearing these words, Guo Gong was even more confused, "Could it be that Lu Fengxian doesn't want to send people to guard the palace? Why?"

Yang Biao said with a wry smile, "Lu Fengxian's soldiers and horses have been scattered around, and now his soldiers and horses are not enough, so he wants to withdraw."

Guo Gong frowned, "If the soldiers and horses are withdrawn, who will protect His Majesty?"

Yang Biao sighed, "That's why Lu Fengxian kept urging His Majesty to recruit troops and manage the palace by himself."

Hearing this, Guo Gong immediately understood, and hastily cupped his hands, "Since this is the case, I am willing to bring back soldiers and horses for Lu Fengxian's soldiers and horses to defend the palace."

Liu Xie was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Guo Sikong, after this matter is settled, you immediately go back to Yuzhou to lead the troops, go to Luoyang, drive away the two thieves Li and Guo, and then restore the palace there. Luoyang."

"Repair the palace?"

Guo Gong's complexion changed, and he said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, I will do my best to drive away the two thieves Li and Guo, but the repair of the Luoyang Palace will cost a lot, and I'm afraid I can't afford it. It's better to allocate money and materials from the treasury to repair it." Palace?"

Luoyang had already been burned down, and the imperial palace was even more severely burned. It would cost countless money to restore it.

Liu Xie sighed, "Now that Lu Fengxian refuses to listen to orders, I don't have any money. It's up to Guo Sikong to figure out a way. In short, I don't want to stay in Xudu and want to go back to Luoyang. Maybe you can do this?"

Cold sweat broke out on Guo Gong's forehead, and he cupped his hands again and again, "Yuzhou is also suffering from disasters year after year, where is there any extra money?"

Hearing this, a trace of anger flashed across Liu Xie's face, and Yang Biao hurriedly cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, you can put aside the matter of repairing the Luoyang Imperial Palace for now, why not ask Guo Sikong to drive away the two thieves Li and Guo first."

Liu Xie nodded, "Alright, Guo Sikong, you go and handle this first."

……

Guo Gong left the palace, sweating profusely on his forehead, already feeling a little regretful in his heart, he should not have come here.

It would cost a lot to repair the Luoyang Imperial Palace, and he might not be able to do it on his own.

Seeing Guo Gong's ugly face, Wang Huai hurriedly cupped his hands and asked, "Mr. Guo, have you encountered any embarrassment?"

Guo Gong nodded, said what happened just now, and finally sighed, "Unexpectedly, His Majesty asked someone to do this, it's really embarrassing!"

Wang Huai frowned, and suddenly laughed, "Mr. Guo, what's the embarrassment? Don't you forget, who are we going to see later?"

Hearing this, Guo Gong's eyes lit up, and he nodded, "Chang Lu, you are right, let's go now."

The person Wang Huai was talking about was, of course, Lu Bu.

After Guo Gong visited the emperor, he immediately took Wang Huai to see Lu Bu.

……

Liu Xie looked at Guo Gong's leaving figure, frowned, and snorted coldly.

"Taiwei Yang, do you think Guo Sikong is unwilling to repair the Luoyang Palace for me?"

Yang Biao hurriedly cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, there is no need to rush this matter. Please ask Guo Sikong to lead the troops to drive away the two thieves, Li and Guo. It will not be too late for your Majesty to move back to Luoyang."

Liu Xie frowned, "Are you worried that he won't?"

Yang Biao cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, it's better to take it step by step."

Liu Xie suddenly raised his hand to pat the case, gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Fengxian, I will bear with it for a while, and when I return to Luoyang, I will definitely send troops to take you down and punish you."

Hearing this, Yang Biao smiled wryly, but he didn't speak.

……

Although Guo Gong was the governor of Yuzhou and now he has become a member of the imperial court, he was still a little nervous when he saw Lu Bu.

After all, even Cao Cao, who is as tyrannical as Cao Cao, was kicked out of Yanzhou by Lu Bu, and he also heard that Cao Cao admitted to fighting with Liu Bei in Xuzhou in Yanzhou, and he was unwilling to go back to Yanzhou to seek revenge from Lu Bu. It is conceivable how much he has scruples about Lu Bu .

He has only brought 1000 soldiers to Xudu now, and there are no soldiers and horses of Lu Bu's army in the city now, but he can be sure that as long as Lu Bu gives an order, his 1000 soldiers and horses may not be able to last for a while, and they will be killed. wipe out.

"A certain person came here in a hurry after receiving a letter from Marquis Wen, not knowing what Marquis Wen has to offer."

Lu Bu didn't answer Guo Gong's words, but asked slowly, "Guo Inspector, if what I expected is right, His Majesty should want to send you to Luoyang to drive away the two thieves Li and Guo, right?"

Hearing this, Guo Gong was taken aback, and hastily cupped his hands, "How did Marquis Wen know that?"

Lu Bu waved his hand, "Don't be nervous, Governor Guo doesn't have to be nervous, there are no spies of the Marquis in the palace, it's just speculation."

Only then did Guo Gong regain his composure, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, "Your Majesty said that Luoyang is the capital of the country and must not be abandoned, so I want to order someone to lead the troops to drive away the two thieves Li and Guo."

Lu Bu nodded, although he sighed, "Guo Inspector, do you know why this Marquis didn't drive away the two thieves Li and Guo?"

Guo Gong was also wondering, although the two thieves, Li and Guo, were not weak, they were far from being Lu Bu's opponents. Why didn't Lu Bu eliminate them?

"Marquis Wen's actions must have deep meaning. I will listen carefully."

Lu Bu turned his head to look at Guo Gong, and said slowly, "Guo Inspector, Luoyang has been burnt down and is already dilapidated, repairing it will cost a lot of money and manpower.

And this is just one of them. The people of Luoyang have been moved to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo. They have ten rooms and nine empties. If the emperor returns to Luoyang, he will definitely recruit the people. At that time, how to arrange these people and where they will be transferred from? Pass? "

"This?"

Guo Gong recalled what he saw along the way, and tentatively said, "Is it feasible to move the refugees to Luoyang?"

Lu Bu nodded, "Of course it is possible, but the refugees have just arrived in Luoyang, and there must be no harvest in the first two years. Only after two years, the crops in the field will grow, and there will be harvest to supplement food needs.

But in the past two years, where should the food come from? Who in the world will have so much food for the refugees? "

Having said that, Lu Bu turned his head to look at Guo Gong, and asked slowly, "Guo Inspector, do you have any?"

Guo Gong froze for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "No, I'm afraid it's just like what Wen Hou said, I'm afraid no one in the world can have this strength."

Lu Bu nodded, "That's why I left the two thieves, Li and Guo, to dispel His Majesty's thoughts."

The reason why Lu Bu explained so patiently was that when he first met Guo Gong, he had already received a reminder from the system.

"If you find Guo Gong, a famous historical official, and subdue him, you will be rewarded with 3500 points."

Since there are points to gain, of course Lu Bu will not let it go.

Guo Gong's expression changed when he heard this, and he suddenly realized that he had gotten into a big trouble.

If you obey His Majesty's order, you will lead your troops to crusade against Luoyang, and then, as Lu Bu said, you will accomplish the impossible.

Thinking of this, Guo Gong hastily cupped his hands, "Thank you Marquis Wen for reminding me, I almost missed a major event."

Jia Xu, who was standing behind Lu Bu without speaking, immediately took a step forward and said with a smile, "Guo Inspector, do you want to refuse this matter?"

Guo Gong smiled wryly and nodded, "Although a certain occupies Yuzhou, but he doesn't have the ability, so I can only ask His Majesty to choose someone else."

Jia Xu suddenly sneered, "Guo Inspector, as long as you refuse, His Majesty will think that you disrespect the order and become suspicious, which will definitely be bad for you."

Guo Gong was taken aback, and was about to speak when Wang Huai suddenly said, "If His Majesty doesn't like it, Guo Gong can only go back to Yuzhou."

Jia Xu shook his head, "When Inspector Guo returns to Yuzhou, the emperor will issue an edict to denounce Inspector Guo for being unfaithful and unrighteous, so what should we do?"

Hearing this, Guo Gong couldn't help being stunned, stood up suddenly, and cupped his hands at Lu Bu.

"I'm here after receiving a letter from Marquis Wen. Please tell Marquis Wen clearly what to do, and I'll just do it."

Lu Bu was overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up to help Guo Gong, and asked with a smile, "Guo Inspector, are you willing to help me?"

Guo Gong hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "How dare you disobey what Marquis Wen said."

When he came to Xudu this time, he first went to visit the emperor, just to see and act.

After meeting the Son of Heaven and Lu Bu, Guo Gong already had a choice in his mind.

As Guo Gong's voice fell, a system prompt sound immediately appeared in Lu Bu's mind.

"Congratulations to the host, Guo Gong, a famous official in history, with a loyalty of 60 and 3500 points."

Hearing the notification sound from the system, Lu Bu was overjoyed immediately, stepped forward to support Guo Gong, and said with a smile, "Guo Inspector, it's really great that you can come to help me."

Speaking of this, Lu Bu's tone paused, "Guo Inspector, you don't have to worry about things here, take people back to Yuzhou immediately, train soldiers and horses, and wait for the order of the Marquis."

Guo Gong originally thought that Lu Bu would send him elsewhere, but he was in a state of hesitation, when he heard these words, he was overjoyed.

"Wen Hou, I can trust you, and I am very grateful."

……

Guo Gong bid farewell to Lu Bu, did not go to see the emperor, left the city, and returned to Yuzhou with his troops and horses.

When Liu Xie heard the news, he was furious, dropped several cups in a row, and suddenly sat down on the ground with tears in his eyes.

"That's why, while I'm still here, these people who have been favored by the emperor don't listen to my orders.

Yuan Shu dared to proclaim himself emperor, Lu Bu refused to listen to orders, and now Guo Gong has left without saying goodbye. Do they still take me as emperor! "

……

Xuzhou.

When Cao Cao received Liu Bei's reply, he immediately called everyone to discuss.

The generals were overjoyed when they heard that Liu Bei agreed to help out.

"Great, as long as Liu Bei stops the three armies on the North Road, it will be much easier for us to deal with the South Road."

Cao Cao nodded, "Everyone, if you want to defeat the enemy, do you have a good strategy?"

Xia Houdun stepped forward and cupped his hands, and said loudly, "My lord, although Yuan Shu's army has many soldiers and horses, our army only needs to attack them all the way and defeat them one by one."

Speaking of this, he said in a louder voice, "My lord, the general is willing to lead a team of soldiers and horses to fight against Zhang Xun's army in the middle."

When some people heard this, they nodded their heads in agreement.

Lu Qian said with a smile, "What General Xiahou said is true. Yuan Shu's army has a large number of soldiers and horses, and he wanted to forcefully suppress them with seven groups of troops. However, he never expected that dividing the troops into seven groups would weaken his strength instead. It gave us a chance to break through one by one.”

Hearing this, Cao Cao smiled, "Everyone, do you think this plan is feasible?"

Cao Ren stepped forward and cupped his hands, "My lord, as long as Zhang Xun is defeated in the middle, the rest of the armies will be panicked, and our army will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. I believe that it will not take long to defeat Yuan Shujun's 7th army. "

Cao Cao nodded, and was about to speak when Cheng Yu suddenly said, "General Xiahou, you said that if you want to defeat Zhang Xun of the Central Route Army, the rest of the army will panic."

Xiahou Dun nodded, "Yes, they will definitely panic, and our army will have the opportunity to defeat them one by one."

Cheng Yu shook his head, "General Xiahou, if we can think of this, I'm afraid Yuan Shujun can think of it too."
