Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 203 Bad News

Just when Jia Xu was about to say goodbye and leave, suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

"Report to Marquis Wen, Guo Inspector, please see me."

Lu Bu heard the voice outside, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Please invite him in."

While speaking, Lu Bu turned his head to look at Jia Xu, but saw that his brows were tightly frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Wen He, what's wrong with you?"

Jia Xu said with a wry smile, "Guo Inspector Guo leads troops to Xuzhou, Xuzhou, I'm afraid we will fail!"

Hearing this, Lu Bu was startled, "Wen He, how do you say this?"

Jia Xu sighed, "If the matter is settled properly, Governor Guo may not come in person. Now that he is here, there may be something wrong with this matter."

While the two were talking, Zhang Hu led Guo Gong in from the door.

When Guo Gong saw Lu Bu, he hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted, "Wen Hou, this time I went to Xuzhou this time. Although Cao Jun was defeated, Cao Chun, the leader of Cao Jun, escaped. He was worried about something, so he came here to explain the matter to Wen Hou. "

Seeing that Jia Xu had guessed correctly, Lu Bu couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly asked, "Guo Inspector, why did you let Cao Chun run away? What's going on?"

Governor Guo wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a wry smile, "When I arrived in Xuzhou, Cao Chun had already received the news, so he led his troops and wanted to escape.

He led his troops in pursuit, and finally defeated most of Cao's army who had fled, but Cao Chun was not found. "

Jia Xu's complexion changed, and he yelled badly, "Oh no, Cao Chun escaped. If there is no accident, he must have gone to Qingzhou."

Lu Bu hurriedly turned his head to look at Jia Xu, "Wen He, are you worried that he will go to see Yuan Benchu?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Marquis Wen, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xiansi are stationed in Qingzhou.

Yuan Xiansi was talented in numbers, and with his own strength, drove away Tian Kai and others, and occupied Qingzhou.

Moreover, Yuan Xiansi is a competitive person. This time he heard that our army destroyed Cao Mengde, and with Cao Chun's persuasion, maybe Yuan Xiansi will send troops from Qingzhou, and a war is imminent! "

Hearing these words, Lu Bu was also taken aback, and turned to look at Guo Gong, "Guo Inspector, Cao Chun escaped, but went to Qingzhou?"

Guo Gong smiled wryly and nodded, "Looking at the direction Cao Jun left, it should be Qingzhou."

Hearing Guo Gong's affirmative answer, Lu Bu frowned, and after pondering for a moment, he said slowly, "In this case, Guo Inspector, you lead troops to station in Xiaopei, and Wen He and you and Zilong lead troops to Xuzhou to guard against Huainan soldiers and horses." Sneak attack."

"As ordered!"

The two hurriedly bowed their hands to listen to the order, then turned around and left.

After the two left, Lu Bu pondered for a moment and said to the door.

"Zhang Hu, go and call General Zhao and tell him that I have something important to discuss."

"As ordered!"

Not long after, Zhao Yun came in from the door, saw Lu Bu, bowed his hands and saluted, "I will meet Marquis Wen at the end."

Lu Bu nodded, "Zilong, do you know why Benhou left you in Xuzhou?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know the end."

Lu Bu walked up to Zhao Yun, and said slowly, "Zilong, I know you are a benevolent person, so I keep you in Xuzhou mainly to help me pay attention to those Xuzhou aristocratic families."

Zhao Yun frowned, "Is there something wrong with the Xuzhou family?"

Lu Bu waved his hand, "Zilong, I'm not worried about the Xuzhou family, but I'm worried that they will destroy the refugee affairs, so I keep you here, if anyone dares to obstruct you, you don't have to be polite, no matter who You can cut first and play later."

"This?"

Zhao Yun was taken aback, "Marquis Wen, isn't Mr. Wenhe presiding over here, why do you want to do it at the end?"

Lu Bu waved his hand, "Wen He has always been a strategist, but sometimes, he thinks too much, so he is not decisive enough to do things. Since he is not decisive enough, you are the only one to help him."

Speaking of this, Lu Bu paused, and then said, "There is also the matter of Huainan, we must also be careful. If something happens, send someone to send a letter to Benhou as soon as possible."

Zhao Yun hurriedly cupped his hands, "The last general obeys orders."

……

After Zhao Yun left, Lu Bu sat in the room, frowning, thinking about Qingzhou.

If it was just Yuan Xiansi, Lu Bu would not be afraid. What he was worried about was whether Yuan Benchu ​​would act accordingly if Yuan Xiansi really sent troops.

In case Qingzhou and Jizhou send troops at the same time, can Yanzhou really be able to stop the attacks from both sides?
Yuan Benchu ​​was powerful and had many soldiers and generals, so he could send troops on both sides. But the problem was that Lu Bu had few soldiers and horses, which was not enough to deal with it.

Just when Lu Bu was thinking about it quickly, there were hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Marquis Wen, Duke Xuande is asking to see you."

Hearing the voice outside, Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he said hastily, "Please."

Soon, Zhang Hu led Liu Bei into the room.

Liu Bei raised his hand to Lu Bu and said, "I have met Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu nodded, "Xuande is here this time, what do you want to say?"

Liu Bei hurriedly cupped his hands, "I would like to ask Marquis Wen, when will you leave for Xudu?"

Lu Bu waved his hand, "Xuande, things have changed now, and I'm afraid a big battle is imminent, so I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Xudu in a short time."

Liu Bei frowned unobtrusively, "Marquis Wen, since this is the case, can I go back to Xudu to meet the emperor first?"

Hearing these words, Lu Bu frowned, and said slowly, "Xuande, the three of your brothers are highly skilled in martial arts, and they are all talented people. This Marquis wants to keep the three of you here to help me, but I don't know you how about?"

Liu Bei hastily cupped his hands, "Wen Hou's order, I will naturally follow, but can I let me go to Xudu to meet the emperor first, and come back to help Wen Hou?"

Lu Bu calculated the time and went to Xudu and back. Liu Bei should be able to come back when Qingzhou sends troops.

"Xuande, since this is the case, set off immediately tomorrow and try to return earlier."

Hearing this, Liu Bei was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly cupped his hands, "Thank you, Marquis Wen, I will definitely return as soon as possible."

After Liu Bei left, Lu Bu ordered someone to send a message to Pang Tong, asking him to come back as soon as possible. Then, he deployed troops and horses in various places to prepare to fight Yuan Xiansi in Qingzhou.

Although all of this was just speculation, Lu Bu never dared to be careless. If it was true, troops would be dispatched from Qingzhou, and Yanzhou's east defense was not too strong, so it would be better to prepare early.

At the same time, he also ordered someone to send a letter to Ding Tao Wangkai, telling him to do something early, the army will arrive soon.

According to Lv Bu's plan, he evacuated from Xuzhou, returned to Dingtao first, and then stationed troops in Juye, recruited troops, and waited for news from Xuzhou.

That night, Jia Xu and Zhao Yun left with their troops and headed straight for Xuzhou.

The soldiers and horses under Guo Gong's command also rushed to Xiaopei one after another and stationed in the city.
