Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 585 The Emperor's Envoy Dong Zhao
Zhu Wei frowned after hearing Lu Su's words.

To be honest, Lu Bu's character is really hard to be reassured. He definitely belongs to the white-eyed wolf type who can't give his back to him. At the beginning, Liu Bei thought that he copied Cao Cao's back road in Gunzhou, and he helped him resolve the crisis in Xuzhou. The old love, accepted Lv Bu to Xuzhou, but in the end, Lv Bu unceremoniously turned against the guest.

Now Zhu Wei has to unite with Lu Bu in order to fight against Cao Cao, but if Lu Bu really does something, it will also make Zhu Wei need to reconsider his relationship with Lu Bu.

If Lu Bu was really bought by Yuan Shu this time and turned his back on Shouchun in the process of attacking Shouchun, if Lu Bu could really give Cao Cao a hard time, Zhu Wei would be happy to see it succeed.

But if Lu Bu turned against the water, but was killed by Cao Cao's tricks, it would be a troublesome matter. Will Zhu Wei save Lu Bu?
The most important thing is that Cao Cao is not an ordinary person. Could it be that he really has no defense against Lu Bu and Zhu Wei?

So if Lu Bu was attacked by Cao Cao in Xuzhou, Zhu Wei would have a legitimate reason to support Lu Bu, but now that Lu Bu counterattacked, it was tantamount to helping the traitor Yuan Shu, so what reason would Zhu Wei use to rescue Lu Bu?
"Well, I wonder what Zijing thinks we should do?"

As the master, Zhu Wei naturally couldn't make a decision easily. In that case, the people below would not be able to make suggestions, so Zhu Wei asked Lu Su again.

"Lü Bu can't be trusted. According to Su's intention, this time our four coalition forces should divide up and attack Shouchun's area, and each should form a formation, so that we can be safe. No matter what Lu Bu does, we can't interfere with our army! It's just Lu Bu If the incident fails, we will not be able to rescue him, we can only watch from the sidelines! If Lu Bu is defeated, our army must at least take the lands of Xiapi and Pengcheng in Xuzhou!"

Lu Su obviously felt that Lu Bu could not be trusted, and he also did not trust Cao Cao, so although the four families jointly attacked Yuan Shu's Shouchun this time, they would rather fight each other, which would ensure the stability of the alliance of the four.

Of course, Lu Su also considered the worst situation. If Lu Bu is killed by Cao Cao, then Xuzhou can't let Cao Cao and Liu Bei take advantage of it. At that time, Zhu Wei can at least send troops to attack Xiapi and Pengcheng. Lu Bu's territory.

"Well, that's pretty good. Don't say it's our side now. Cao Cao wouldn't dare to let our army join forces with him! Now Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei's three armies are also different. Cao Cao is in the middle, and Lu Bu is in the middle." On the left, Liu Bei is on the right, and the three armies form their own battalions, presumably they are on guard against each other!"

Zhu Wei nodded in agreement with Lu Su's opinion. Although the alliance of four families is now dealing with Yuan Shu, none of the four families are in harmony with each other. This is how to unite into an army.

So although Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei are now considered to be the three armies united together, in fact their barracks are still independent.

This already shows the mutual defense between them.

"My lord, I have a plan. Since the four families of our side have their own scruples, why don't we make another agreement, whoever breaks through Shouchun first will get some benefits in the city? This can also prevent each family from trying their best. Looking at it now, our main attack must be the south gate of Shouchun, and Cao Cao's army must be mainly attacking the north gate in the north of Shouchun. If the four coalition forces do not make a charter and are jealous of each other, Yuan Shu will be able to enjoy the benefits instead!"

Jia Xu also spoke from the side, obviously he was thinking that Zhu Wei and Cao Cao were afraid of each other and guarded against each other. As a result, a three monks came and had no water to eat. Everyone didn't care about attacking the city, but they delayed the war, instead they could Find any opportunity for Yuan Shu to fight back.

"Come to think of it, this time when Dong Zhao came to our place, Cao Cao must have had some ideas! According to what Yu saw, it's better to see Dong Zhao before making a conclusion!"

Zhou Yu also smiled when he heard what Lu Su and Jia Xu said. He also thought of this possibility. At the same time, he felt that Cao Cao must have thought of this, so Cao Cao sent Dong Zhao over this time. It must not be the only one urging Zhu Wei to send troops.

"Alright, then let Dong Zhao come and see you!"

Zhu Wei nodded when he heard the words, and then asked Sun Quan to find the guards waiting outside the hall, and asked someone to notify Dong Zhao, the envoy sent by Cao Cao.

During this period, Zhu Wei asked a few more questions. Specifically, Zhu Wei could put forward conditions for Cao Cao, as well as the coalition forces attacking Shouchun, how the four soldiers and horses would divide their labor, and so on. When responding to Dong Zhao, I have confidence.

Not long after, it was reported that Dong Zhao had arrived, so Zhu Wei stopped the discussion, and ordered Dong Zhao, who had arrived from outside, to enter the hall for an interview.

This Dong Zhao seems to be only 24 or [-] years old, but his early experience is quite rich.

Dong Zhao first served as an official with Yuan Shao to join the army. Later, because of conflicts between Zhang Miao and Yuan Shao, Dong Zhao's younger brother Dong Fang served with Zhang Miao. Therefore, Yuan Shao became suspicious of Dong Zhao and wanted to punish him.

Dong Zhao had no choice but to find an opportunity to leave Yuan Shao, but was intercepted and assisted by Hanoi prefect Zhang Yang on the way. It was not until Emperor Xian of the Later Han Dynasty returned to the capital that Dong Zhao left Zhang Yang again and joined Cao Cao's tent.

It is said that it was this Dong Zhao who offered advice to Cao Cao and asked Cao Cao to move his capital to Xu County, thus helping Cao Cao to have the posture of holding the emperor in Xudu to command the world.

So this Dong Zhao can be regarded as one of Cao Cao's early important ministers and advisers, but his ability cannot be compared with Cao Cao's military advisers such as Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and Xun You, but he is indeed a somewhat capable person.

So although this Dong Zhao is not very old, his image looks a bit mature, and as for his clothes, he looks like a Confucian scholar with a bit of Confucianism.

Entering the hall on Zhu Wei's side, Dong Zhao bowed to Zhu Wei neither humble nor overbearing, "Dong Zhao, the envoy of the Son of Heaven, has met General Zhennan and Governor Jingyang!"

Obviously, Dong Zhao deliberately used the name of the emperor to elevate his status, even though Zhu Wei is now the general of Zhennan and the governor of Jingyang, but normally speaking, Dong Zhao, as the envoy of the emperor, is naturally an official. For those who are one level higher, Zhu Wei must also solemnly return the courtesy to him.

The momentum that Zhu Wei displayed now was naturally suppressed by Dong Zhao.

"An envoy from the Son of Heaven? Do you really have an order from the Son of Heaven? But I don't know, where did you come from? Is it Xudu, or is it in Cao's camp!"

However, Zhu Wei was not deceived by Dong Zhao's aura. He just smiled lightly and directly revealed Dong Zhao's identity. If Dong Zhao was really an envoy of the emperor, he should have come here under the order of the emperor in Xudu, but he did not He should have come out of Cao Cao's barracks, and just casually added a halo of the emperor's envoy to himself...
