Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 205 Pang Tong is Back

Li Feng frowned, "I heard that Yuan Xiansi is a talented person, and he took Qingzhou by himself. Now that Jizhou is confronting Youzhou, Yuan Xiansi should be very clear that this is not the best time to attack Yanzhou. , you may not send troops, right?"

Pang Tong shook his head, "Mr. Wen Yuan, this statement is wrong. It is precisely because of Yuan Xiansi's talent that he underestimated Yanzhou and wanted to win Yanzhou to win Yuan Shao's favor."

Hearing this, Li Feng frowned, "Qingzhou is rich, I'm afraid it should be easy to mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers. If we really come to attack Yanzhou, I'm afraid our army will not be easy to deal with."

Lu Bu nodded, "Yes, that's the case. That's why I came to discuss with everyone and find a perfect solution."

Pang Tong cupped his hands at Lu Bu, "Excuse me, Marquis Wen, how many soldiers and horses did you bring back from Xuzhou this time?"

Lu Bu waved his hand, "Originally there were 5000 soldiers, and 1000 were collected from Dingtao. Now there are 6000 troops?"

Pang Tong nodded, "I've heard for a long time that Liu Xuande's three brothers are very brave. If they get along with the three brothers, I should be more confident."

Lu Bu shook his head, "The three Liu Xuande brothers did not come together, only my lord's 6000 troops."

"what?"

Pang Tong's expression changed, "Marquis Wen, is Liu Xuande staying in Xuzhou?"

Lu Bu shook his head, "Liu Xuande wants to meet the emperor first, and then return to help."

Hearing this, Pang Tong frowned, lowered his head to think carefully, and sighed, "Marquis Wen, do you think Liu Xuande will come back?"

Lu Bu was taken aback, "Shi Yuan, do you think Liu Xuande won't come back?"

Pang Tong smiled bitterly and nodded, "In my opinion, Liu Xuande did go to meet the emperor, but as to whether he can come back, I'm afraid it's not certain."

Lu Bu frowned, "Shi Yuan, what do you mean by that?"

Pang Tong shook his head, "Marquis Wen, this is just a guess in the bottom of my heart, and it can't be taken seriously."

Lu Bu looked at Pang Tong and asked slowly, "Shi Yuan, do you mean that Liu Xuande probably won't come back after going to Xudu?"

Pang Tong nodded, "That's true. If Liu Xuande wants to come back, then he doesn't have to go. Since he has gone, he probably won't come back."

Lu Bu was a little surprised, "Shi Yuan, what do you think Liu Xuande wanted to do when he went to Xudu to meet the emperor? Did he want to take advantage of the opportunity to escape, or did he have other plans?"

Pang Tong arched his hands, "Liu Xuande originally occupied Xuzhou as one of the princes, but he was taken away by Marquis Wen. He must be unwilling, and he is an ambitious person. This time he went to Xudu, maybe he really went to see the emperor. , I want to take back Xuzhou with the help of the emperor's prestige."

Hearing this, Lu Bu suddenly sneered, "Could it be that just by relying on Liu Xuande, the emperor can make an order."

Pang Tong nodded, "The emperor is in Xudu, and he is very angry with Marquis Wen. If Liu Xuande is willing to help him, he will definitely agree."

Lu Bu's face changed, "Liu Xuande really dare to do this?"

Pang Tong shook his head with a wry smile, "It's hard to say, but the possibility cannot be ruled out."

Snapped!
Lu Bu slapped the table and snorted coldly, "In that case, Benhou immediately send someone back to Xudu and ask Gao Shun to monitor Liu Xuande to see what he wants to do?"

Li Feng frowned, "Marquis Wen, the top priority now is Qingzhou matters. If we really send troops to attack, our army may not be able to stop it!"

Lu Bu turned his head to look at Pang Tong, frowned and asked, "Shi Yuan, if Qingzhou sends troops to attack Yanzhou, what will happen to Langya County?"

Pang Tong shook his head, and said slowly, "Zang Ba is a man of great power, and he will help the weak Cao Mengde, but he may be unpredictable when dealing with Qingzhou soldiers."

Hearing this, Lu Bu frowned, "Shi Yuan, what do you mean to say that Zang Ba probably won't help this Marquis?"

Pang Tong hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "It's possible."

Li Feng was taken aback, "Mr. Shi Yuan, even if Zang Ba refuses to help us, will he help Qingzhou soldiers?"

Hearing this question, Lu Bu's eyes were fixed, and he hurriedly turned to look at Pang Tong.

Pang Tong frowned, and said slowly, "This is not necessarily the case, but we have to guard against it."

At this point, Pang Tong paused, "If Zang Ba really attacks our army from the rear, our army's situation will be very unfavorable, so we must make preparations in advance."

Hearing this, Qin Yilu frowned and said, "If Zang Ba suddenly strikes at the critical moment of the confrontation between our army and Qingzhou, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous."

Lv Bu snorted coldly, "Since that's the case, why not get rid of Zang Ba as soon as possible, so as to avoid major accidents?"

Pang Tong waved his hand, "Marquis Wen, although Zang Ba is not as powerful as our army, he is very difficult to deal with. It may not be easy to eliminate him."

Lu Bu frowned, "Shi Yuan, are you worried that our army will lose?"

Pang Tong shook his head, "Marquis Wen, Zang Ba was originally a Black Mountain Army, but Xuzhou Mu Taoqian was taken under his command, and he became an officer of Xuzhou.

Zang Ba's subordinates are not weak, and they are familiar with the surrounding mountains. Once they lose, they will definitely hide in the hills. At that time, our army is not familiar with the mountain roads, and it will not be easy to eliminate them. "

Hearing this, Li Feng nodded with a wry smile, "That's true. Zang Ba was originally a bandit, and later he took refuge in Xuzhou, and this is how he became an official. If our army goes to crusade, it is impossible to say, he will really hide in the mountains. "

Pang Tong nodded, "It's enough for Zang Ba to hide in the mountains. What's worrying is that if Qingzhou really attacks, he will take the opportunity to come out. This is the top priority."

Snapped!
Lu Bu snorted coldly, "Are you going to let him go like this?"

Li Feng smiled wryly and cupped his hands, "But if you let Zang Ba go, you also have to worry that he will be bad for our army."

Lu Bu turned his head to look at Pang Tong, and asked slowly, "Shi Yuan, do you have a good plan?"

Pang Tong frowned, paced back and forth in the room, thinking quickly in his mind.

When he rushed back from Langya County, he didn't know anything about Cao Chun, and he had just heard about it.

Therefore, he did not consider the matter of Qingzhou.

Even if Cao Jun was wiped out now, Yuan Xiansi would never have sent troops if Cao Chun hadn't come forward to beg.

The situation is completely different now, Yuan Xiansi is very likely to send troops, so he has to carefully consider this matter.

Qingzhou and Langya County echo each other, and if something happens, the Yanzhou Army is likely to fall into a situation of siege from both sides.

The most important thing is that Lu Bu's army does not have many troops, and they cannot deal with the siege on both sides anyway. This is the most embarrassing part.

If you have enough troops, even if you divide your troops into two groups, you can block the enemy's attack.

But now, I can only think of other ways, and don't act rashly.

After thinking for a long time, Pang Tong raised his head and looked at Lu Bu.
