Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 216
Qingzhou.

Yuan Tangao sat in the main seat, with a proud face, and the expression in his eyes was somewhat similar to that of Yuan Shao.

"How are the preparations for sending troops going?"

Hearing the question, Yuan Tan's general, Wang Zhao, hurried forward and bowed his hands, "The soldiers have been mobilized, and the only thing left is to raise food."

Yuan Tan frowned slightly, "Hurry up, don't let Yanzhou be on guard."

Wang Zhao cupped his hands and was about to answer when there were hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Mr. Guo please see me."

Yuan Tan's eyes lit up, "Please come in and talk."

Guo Tu and Xin Ping were both on Yuan Tan's side, and they often spoke for him, so they naturally did not dare to neglect him.

Soon, Guo Tu came in from the door with a smile on his face. When he saw Yuan Tan, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I have met the eldest son."

Yuan Tan nodded, "Mr. Gongze, you arrived in Qingzhou today, but did you have an order from your father?"

Guo Tu shook his head and said with a smile, "Young Master, I am here this time to congratulate you."

Yuan Tan was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Mr. Gongze, why do you like it?"

Guo Tu smiled slightly, and said slowly, "Congratulations to the eldest son for breaking Yanzhou and making great achievements!"

Hearing this, Yuan Tan's eyes flashed with joy, and he nodded, "I see."

Xin Ping, who was standing aside, frowned, and said slowly, "Mr. Gongze, Lu Fengxian of Yanzhou is not weak. The eldest son wants to attack, and the outcome is unpredictable. Don't talk too much in advance."

Guo Tu shook his head, "Mr. Zhongzhi, this statement is wrong. Although Lu Fengxian is not weak, he is still slightly inferior to the eldest son. How can he be invincible?"

Having said that, Guo Tu turned around and cupped his hands at Yuan Tan, and said with a smile, "My lord, next time I come here, apart from congratulating you, I have another piece of good news to tell you."

Yuan Tan's eyes brightened, "Mr. Gongze, what's the good news?"

Guo Tu said slowly, "My lord, before I came to Qingzhou, I went to Xiaopei, and now I have persuaded Xiaopei Guo Gong, when the eldest son Qian goes to attack Yanzhou, he will send troops from behind at the same time, this is considered Isn't it a joy?"

"Ha ha!"

As soon as Guo Tu's words fell, Yuan Tan couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Gongze, it really is a happy event. It's really great. With Guo Gong's help, it's easy to beat Lu Fengxian."

Xin Ping asked tentatively, "Mr. Gongze, I don't know how Guo Gong wants to send troops, but has he ever made a plan?"

Guo Tu turned his head to look at Xin Ping, and said with a smile, "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Mr. Zhongzhi."

Speaking of this, Guo Tu paused for a moment, and then continued, "That's right, I have already agreed with Guo Gong that our army will go to attack Yanzhou. In the city, seize Juye.

At that time, Lu Bu's army will lose Juye and have no place to stand, and they will no longer be an enemy of our army. The eldest son will be able to drive straight into the hinterland of Yanzhou and make great contributions. "

Hearing this, Yuan Tan applauded again and again, and said with a smile, "Mr. Gongze's ingenious plan is really extraordinary, haha, this time, Mr. Gongze will be the first to win Yanzhou."

Hearing this, Guo Tu was overjoyed and cupped his hands again and again, "Thank you, Eldest Young Master."

If this plan succeeds and Yuan Tan takes Yanzhou smoothly, then maybe Yuan Shao will allow Yuan Tan to occupy Qingzhou and Yanzhou. In terms of strength, he is already far superior to the second and third sons.

What's more, after winning Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Yuzhou are right in front of us, and it is by no means difficult to win.

At that time, Yuan Tan will succeed in ascending the position, and Guo Tu will also be able to rise accordingly.

Yuan Tan was overjoyed, so he threw a big banquet that night, and everyone celebrated.

Two days later, the supplies in the army were all ready, and following Yuan Tan's order, the army set off for Yanzhou.

At the same time, Jizhou also sent General Yan Liang, leading [-] soldiers, to Dongjun.

……

Puyang.

"Reporting to Marquis Wen, Jizhou has dispatched [-] troops, led by general Yan Liang, towards Puyang."

Hearing the news from the spies, Lu Bu frowned slightly, and said slowly.

"I really didn't expect that the Jizhou side would send troops and horses so soon, it was unexpected!"

Chen Gong frowned, and said with a wry smile, "The troops from Xudu's side have not arrived yet, and there are only more than 2 troops now. It seems that we can only stick to Puyang and wait for the right time?"

Lu Bu nodded, and was about to speak, but saw Xu Si frowning tightly, with a hesitant look on his face, and asked suspiciously, "Dexian, what's wrong with you, is there any problem?"

Xu Si smiled wryly and said, "Marquis Wen, do you really want to defend the city?"

Lu Bu asked suspiciously, "Dexian, is there any problem?"

Xu Si cupped his hands and said slowly, "Marquis Wen, besides us, there are many refugees around Puyang who are reclaiming land and planting crops nearby.

If soldiers from Jizhou arrive and we hide in the city, what will happen to the refugees outside?
And the crops grown in the fields, what about these? "

Hearing this, Lu Bu was taken aback, and turned to look at Chen Gong.

Chen Gong sighed, "Marquis Wen, the soldiers and horses on the Jizhou side are aggressive, and I'm afraid they can't take care of this much at this time. It's better to give up the crops outside, transfer the refugees, or lead the refugees to far away, so that we can fight with the Jizhou soldiers. The horse gives it a go."

If it was before, Chen Gong would definitely not be able to say such words, he would only say that the winner is the king and the loser, and those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters.

But now, he knew that Lu Bu would not agree, so he could only do his best.

Lu Bu frowned when he heard Chen Gong's words, and was about to speak when hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

"Report to Marquis Wen, there is an urgent letter from Juye."

When Lu Bu heard the word Juye, he raised his heart and said hastily, "Send it in quickly."

Soon, a soldier put the letter from Juye on the table.

Lu Bu picked up the letter and hastily read it. After reading it, he frowned and spoke slowly.

"Juye has already received reliable information, and Qingzhou has already dispatched troops."

Hearing this news, Chen Gong and Xu Si's expressions changed in surprise, and they asked hastily, "How many soldiers and horses have Qingzhou dispatched?"

Lu Bu put down the letter, sighed, and said slowly, "[-] soldiers and horses."

"Fifty thousand troops?"

Xu Si exclaimed, "There are so many, Juye only has a few thousand soldiers!"

Chen Gong shook his head, "No, there are still 2 refugee guards."

Xu Si said with a wry smile, "But even so, there are only more than 2000 soldiers and horses. How can they stop Qingzhou's 5 troops?"

Hearing this, Chen Gong didn't speak, but turned to look at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu didn't speak either, but frowned, thinking quietly in his heart.
