Xiaoqi

Looking at the overall situation, Gongjin's troops are in the safest situation, behind the Sili.No worries.On the Youzhou battlefield, the lord has 20 soldiers in his hands, which is sufficient. Even if Yuan Shao of Jizhou orders Ju Yi to attack Youzhou by force, it doesn't matter.The lord has long been on guard against this.In this way.The [-] troops led by the two generals Bo Cai and Xu Rong are in the most dangerous situation. They are all infantry. Liu Biao and Xuzhou Lu Bu's flanking attack.What Gongjin is worried about is this journey of soldiers and horses, especially worried that Lv Bu from Xuzhou, who has always been volatile, will sneak attack on my army going south? "

Zhou Yu nodded in response, "That's right. Lu Bu is a man of uncertain temperament. He does things arbitrarily in his life, eager for quick success and quick gains, and capricious. It cannot be deduced by common sense. However, the wolf cavalry under his command are brave and good at fighting, and their combat effectiveness is very powerful. They should not be underestimated. In addition, Lu Bu himself is a brave and fierce warrior on the battlefield. Once he decides to attack Bocai and Xu Rong's army on a whim, the result will be disastrous. Therefore, when Cao Cao regained the foundation of Yanzhou in the past, he once said: Hero, if Lu Bu is not dead, who would dare to rule the roost? Now that I think about it carefully, Cao Cao’s words come from a feeling, and they are not groundless or alarmist.” After speaking, Zhou Yu’s expression was deep, as if he was quite afraid of Lu Bu.

Hearing Zhou Yu bring up Cao Cao's old words again, Jia Xu's expression changed slightly, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he stroked his beard lightly, thoughtfully.After a while, Jia Xu smiled and said, "Right now Gong Jin is worried about Lv Bu from Xuzhou. Gong Jin may not know much about this person, but Jia and my lord know Lv Bu very well. Dong Xiangguo was alive when he was alive. At that time, the lord fought with Lv Bu repeatedly, and started a bloody battle on the banks of the Bahe River. In the end, the lord won slightly, and Lv Bu fled miserably.

It is not shy to say that the lord is famous all over the world by stepping on Lu Bu's shoulders.It is also because of an opponent like Lu Bu that the lord quickly gained a firm foothold in the former Xiliang army, and gained the strong support of most generals in the army, thus laying the foundation for the lord to take charge of the Xiliang army.During the Chang'an Rebellion, the lord led an army starry night to besiege the remnants of Lu Bu's army fleeing southward, and surrounded them heavily under the city of Wuguan.At that time, Lu Bu was desperate, and had already decided to get off his horse and be tied up, waiting to die.But the lord was lenient, and instead of making an alliance under the city, at the cost of Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cao, and the eight hundred camps, he easily let Lu Bu go.

From then on, people all over the world thought that the lord had the benevolence of a woman in his heart, and that letting the tiger cause endless disasters caused endless disasters.To this day, many people still think about it, and privately slander the protagonist, Ying Ming I, for being confused for a while.How does Gongjin feel about this? "

"Oh?" Zhou Yu looked surprised, he didn't understand that it had been six years since Lu Bu was indulged in Wuguan City, why did Jia Xu bring up the old story again?

As Jia Xu said, although it has been a long time since Marquis Wu Li Li bought and released Lu Bu, it has always been controversial, with different opinions and opinions.But generally speaking, most people think that this is a rare decision-making error by Li Li, who underestimated Lu Bu's ability, so that after Lu Bu went south, he provoked troubles again and again. After the ups and downs, it is still the overlord in the end, which can be said to be a blessing if you survive a catastrophe.And as Lv Bu made a comeback after falling again and again, Li Li was criticized for this, especially the princes of the Central Plains who were deeply harmed by Lv Bu. While hating Lv Bu to the bone, they also slandered Li Li and gritted their teeth.

Zhou Yu had also heard about this matter before, and his attitude was similar to that of most people. He believed that Li Li had indeed missed an excellent opportunity to kill Lv Bu, so that Lv Bu, who escaped from death, stirred up chaos in all the states and counties in the Central Plains. confusion.However, today, when Zhou Yu went back to sort out the situation in the world, he unexpectedly discovered that everything Lu Bu had done was extremely beneficial to Li Li and even the entire Xiliang Army.In other words, it was Lu Bu who made waves in the Central Plains, which made the situation in the Central Plains unclear, and won Li Li and the Xiliang Army at least three years of recuperation time.On the other hand, Li Li used this time to quell the border troubles in Xiliang, actively restore and develop people's livelihood, build water conservancy, reclaim land, cultivate and live, and firmly control the reorganized Xiliang army, thus laying a solid foundation and laying a solid foundation for Xiliang. , Take the emperor to make the princes a favorable situation.

At the same time, it was Lv Bu who led the remnant army into the Central Plains and acted recklessly, which made Yuan Shao in Jizhou, Cao Cao in Yanzhou, Zhang Miao in Chenliu, Zhang Yang in Hanoi and other princes forces continue to kill and attack for several years, but they always stood still and could not advance an inch .Among them, the princes such as Cao Cao of Yanzhou, Chenliu and Zhang Miao suffered a lot from it, and they were either killed or injured.As a result, Hanoi Zhang Yang, Chen Liu Zhang Miao, Baibo bandits and other forces were all destroyed by Lu Bu. Only Cao Cao in Yanzhou was extremely tenacious and survived in the end.

Even so, Cao Cao in Yanzhou came and went for several years, and it was not until Lu Bu was driven to Xuzhou that he was completely stable.However, Cao Cao missed the best opportunity to develop and grow, and was always in the middle of the cracks to survive, in a difficult situation and struggling.

In addition, inadvertently, after Lu Bu fled to Xuzhou, he killed another prince.Liu Bei, who had sprung up suddenly, was proud of his spring breeze and high-spirited, and was preparing for a big fight with great ambition.But at the critical moment, Lu Bu picked the peaches, lost the foundation of Xuzhou, and fled in a hurry.What's more, Liu Bei's three brothers were chased and separated, Zhang Fei was robbed and killed by Huan Fei in Sili, Guan Yu disappeared, and Liu Bei lived in exile.

Today, Yuan Shu in Huainan is on the verge of life and death, and Lu Bu in Xuzhou is in a very critical position, which has become the last straw that crushes Yuan Shu.

Recalling the intricate scenes of the past, Zhou Yu suddenly realized, the worries in his heart dissipated, and suddenly became enlightened, so he looked at Jia Xu and laughed heartily: "Hahaha"

Xuzhou, Xiapi City.

Quietly, Lu Bu has occupied Xuzhou for two years.In the past two years, Xuzhou has been relatively peaceful, with only small groups of bandits running around, but no large-scale wars.

In troubled times, it is a miracle that there is no war in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the people's life is relatively stable, and they live and work in peace and contentment.The people of Xuzhou attributed all this to Lu Bu, the state shepherd. It was because of him that he was in charge of Xuzhou, so that the princes of the towns did not dare to send troops to crusade, at least they did not dare to attack Xuzhou easily.

Over time, the prestige of Lu Bu, the tiger of Bingzhou, gradually became popular among the people. For this reason, many young and strong people came to vote for it, which made Lu Bu's troops grow stronger and stronger.So far, Lu Bu has nearly [-] troops under his command. The treasury is increasingly full, money and food are sufficient, supplies are complete, and the army is strong and powerful, and its strength is becoming stronger and stronger.

Therefore, when the princes of the towns in the Central Plains were fighting endlessly, Lu Bu was enjoying the singing and dancing of Yingying and Swallows while embracing the beauty in the state herdsman's mansion.This kind of peaceful and stable life is really rare for Lu Bu who has been fighting all the year round, and he is intoxicated by it and never tired of it.At the same time, in the past two years, Lu Buxin took in three concubines, one of whom was the daughter of Xiapi guard Cao Bao.

Cao Bao was originally the patriarch of the Cao family in Xuzhou, and he was also a very prestigious general in the Xuzhou army. He had served in the army for many years and had a lot of family money. He single-handedly promoted many middle and low-level generals in the army.

When Liu Bei raised Xuzhou earlier, he relied heavily on him, and he repeatedly entrusted him with important tasks.Little do they know that Cao Bao is a local family in Xuzhou after all. Even though he is deeply grateful for Liu Bei's respect and support, he will not follow Liu Bei wholeheartedly.Therefore, when Lu Bu led the troops to counterattack Xuzhou, Cao Bao saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately opened the gate of Xiapi city and personally welcomed Lu Bu's army into the city.

Chapter 954

Cao Bao took the initiative to open the city and ask for surrender, which made Lu Bu, who had successfully captured Xuzhou, highly appreciate him and looked at him differently.

Later, at the instigation of Chen Gong, Lu Buna married Cao Bao's daughter as his concubine. Since then, he has completely taken Cao Bao for his own use, included him in the list of trusted ministers, and entrusted him with important tasks.

However, marrying Cao Bao's daughter as a concubine was a double-edged sword. Lu Bu got not only a soft and lovely beauty, but also Cao Bao's loyal support, which benefited a lot.

It was the end of April in the third year of Jian'an.On this day, Lu Bu lay on the state animal throne as usual, hugging left and right, laughing and playing with the beauties, while watching the dancers' graceful dancers in the hall drunkenly.It's true that if you don't get drunk with wine, everyone gets drunk, and if you don't have attractive sex, you get intoxicated with yourself. If you are happy and carefree, you will be envious of others!

Just when Lu Bu was flushed and slightly drunk, the military adviser Chen Gong rushed into the hall with a look of haste, and as soon as he stepped over the threshold, he shouted loudly: "Fengxian, Fengxian, the envoy from Luoyang sent a secret letter, and we have important matters to discuss." !"

"Oh?" Hearing someone calling his name directly in public, Lu Bu frowned slightly, his drunken eyes suddenly opened, and anger appeared in his eyes.When he saw that it was Chen Gong again, he shook his head helplessly, then his body swayed, and he fell back into the arms of the beauty.

"Go, go, you all back down!" Chen Gong strode into the lobby, waved away the dancers in the hall with disgust on his face, went straight to the upper steps, and then ordered Lu Bu who was snuggling next to Lu Bu with a displeased expression. The two pretty beauties left quickly.

Chen Gong has done actions like this many times.All the retinues, maidservants and handymen in the entire prefecture's mansion were in awe of him.It also includes Lu Bulu Fengxian who is sitting on the main seat.

Once Lu Bu was very respectful to Chen Gong, obeyed his advice, and respected Chen Gong as his teacher and father.And Chen Gong often gave him advice, with a rather high attitude.That's because, at that time, Lu Bu was in a desperate situation and was in a difficult situation. If Chen Gong hadn't made suggestions and tried every means to find a way out, there would be no Lu Bu today.even.As early as when Yanzhou fell and was recaptured by Cao Cao, Lu Bu was already decapitated.When he was most difficult and helpless, it was Chen Gong who followed him unswervingly.Plan everything for him, encourage him not to be overwhelmed by the setbacks in front of him, to cheer up, and one day he will be able to make a comeback.

Facts have proved that Chen Gong is extremely strategic.Straightforward.Extraordinary courage.After the defeat of Yanzhou, he suggested that Lu Bu lead his troops to Xuzhou to join Liu Bei, temporarily subservient to others, and once the time is right, he can make a comeback.After living in Xuzhou for only half a year, the opportunity came.It was Chen Gong who reminded him in time to lead his troops to attack Xuzhou, seized Liu Bei's foundation, and turned himself into the master.Take the six counties of Xuzhou.

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.nowadays.Lu Bu had already firmly established Xuzhou Mu's seat, and his foundation was becoming more and more stable. The soldiers and horses were growing day by day, and their strength was becoming stronger and stronger.Therefore, Lu Bu has already regained his self-confidence and returned to the Bingzhou tiger who was fearless and fearless. He believed that he was not afraid of any princes in the world, and he had the confidence and strength to face all invading enemies.

Therefore, Lu Bu has changed, becoming extremely confident, arrogant, rebellious, and not restrained by anyone at all.But Chen Gong, the military adviser he has always relied on, has not changed at all. He still has the same temperament and style of handling things as before.

Lu Bu had had enough of this kind of obsession.As a result, he often wanted to reprimand Chen Gong severely, and even give him a little color, let him know what is the courtesy of a master minister, what is superiority and inferiority, and let him learn how to be a minister.However, whenever Lu Bu was furious, he couldn't help but think of Chen Gong's persuasive and persuasive teachings in his ears when he was in trouble.Thinking of these, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel soft-hearted, and endured it again and again, without blaming Chen Gong.However, he didn't give Chen Gong a good face, he didn't hide the anger on his face at all, he just hoped that Chen Gong would be able to reflect on himself and get rid of these bad habits of disregarding priority and inferiority.

It's a pity that after two years, Chen Gong still had the same upright and stinky temper as before, and he still called him by his first name, which made Lv Bu lose face and was secretly annoyed.

As the saying goes: this moment and that moment.In the two years since Xuzhou was taken from Xuzhou, Lu Bu is no longer what it used to be.But Chen Gong has not changed at all, and his behavior is the same as before.Faced with such a situation, how should Lu Bu feel, and how should he save his face?

This is the case again today.As soon as Chen Gong came, he drove out the dancers in the hall and the two beauties who served Lu Bu, so that Lu Bu's face was livid and he was very annoyed.

"What's the matter here at Gongtai?" Lying on the large soft seat, Lu Bu closed his eyes and fell asleep, his face clouded with clouds, showing that he didn't like Chen Gong very much, but because of his past affection, he couldn't bear it. hair only.

After pondering for a while, without waiting for Chen Gong to answer, Lu Bu continued: "If nothing happens, Gongtai will drink and watch dances here; if you don't have such an elegant mood, please feel free."

Perhaps because he was used to Lu Bu talking with a straight face, at this moment Chen Gong didn't care about the anger on Lu Bu's face, and just turned a blind eye to it.After hearing the words, he said to himself: "Feng Xian, what time is this, why are you still in the mood to drink and have fun?" As soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Gong began to preach again.So much so that he put aside all his business affairs here, and nagged in Lu Bu's ear again, just like before.

"Nowadays, there are wars in all the states in the Central Plains, and the princes of the towns are mobilizing their troops in an attempt to carve up the territory of the Yuan brothers. On the Hebei battlefield, Cao Cao of Yanzhou captured Qingzhou in less than half a year, and his strength increased greatly; The army is overwhelming, and Yuan Shao in Jizhou is at the end of the road, and he can't last long. On the Huainan battlefield, Sun Ce of Jiangdong successively occupied the four counties of Jiangdong, and now occupies more than half of Lujiang River. In just two or three years, he has developed into a princely force that cannot be ignored. Now Jingzhou Liu Biao withdrew his troops to quell the rebellion, but Yuan Shu in Huainan is already in decline, his strength is not as good as before, and the day of his demise is not far away."

After a short pause, Chen Gong drew up a grand blueprint for Lu Bu: "At this time of chaos in the world, it is a great opportunity for Xuzhou to take the opportunity to expand its territory and strengthen its strength. If we send troops to the north, we can join the Yuan Dispute Alliance and fight with Yuan. Yanzhou Cao Cao and the Xiliang army joined hands to attack Jizhou Yuan Shao. After the war, even if we can’t get the city or expand the territory, we can still get a lot of money, food and supplies; after all, Jizhou is one of the richest counties in the world. Such a beautiful thing is not always Yes, why not miss it?

Taking a step back, if I wait to send troops to attack Yuan Shu in Huainan, it will be more profitable.Combined with Jiangdong Sun Ce, attacking Yuan Shu back and forth, there must be gains.If the war goes well.We will go straight to Shouchun, Yuan Shu's old nest; if the war goes wrong, we can also take advantage of the situation to take Yuzhou to expand the territory.Strengthen strength.Such a thing that kills two birds with one stone is really rare, and it must not be missed.Don't miss this opportunity and don't come again! "

Listening to Chen Gong rambling in his ears for a long time, Lu Bu slowly opened his eyes.Get up and sit up straight.Looking at Chen Gong indifferently, he remained silent.After a while, just when Chen Gong thought he nodded in agreement, unexpectedly, Lu Bu said abruptly: "I had an alliance with Yuan Shu long ago, and I declared myself a minister last year, how can I go back on my word now, betray my promise, and turn against each other? Doing so. Wouldn't it be a trap? I, Lu Bu, am not benevolent or righteous, what will the world think of me?" These words.Lu Bu spoke eloquently and righteously, as if he was a rare gentleman with a high reputation in the world.

But he didn't know how much disdain Chen Gong felt after hearing these words, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he scoffed.Today, Lu Bu actually dares to talk about faith with certainty and begins to cherish his reputation. This is really a big joke!

Looking back at the power ministers and overlords who have fallen one after another over the years, half of them died in the hands of Lu Bu, or had a direct relationship with him.In just a few years, Lu Bu paid homage to three adoptive fathers successively: Ding Yuan, Governor of Bingzhou, Dong Zhuo, Xiangguo, and Situ Wang Yun.With such a heinous crime, what face does it have to mention the word "faithfulness"?

After the defeat of Chang'an, Lu Bu led his troops to defect to Chenliu and Zhang Miao, and then begged Cao Cao to take him in. Then he attacked Yanzhou while Cao Cao was leading the army to attack Xuzhou, and almost drove Cao Cao to a dead end.Afterwards, Zhang Miao died tragically in the Battle of Sili, and Lu Bu never thought of going to the rescue, even if he took Zhang Miao's body back.But he didn't care about Zhang Miao's kindness in helping him in the past, and he just sat by and watched Zhang Miao die.Such inhumane and unrighteous acts are unique in the world, but they are so common to Lu Bu that they are not worth mentioning at all.

Throughout the annals of ancient and modern history, there has never been a person like Lu Bu who is unfaithful, filial, benevolent, unrighteous, and has no sense of shame. .It seems that such untrustworthy people, at this moment, have the nerve to talk about honesty, benevolence and righteousness, and care about their reputation?With all of Lu Bu's past evil deeds, does he still have a reputation?

There is a saying that good things do not go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.Some people have been good people for half their lives, accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. However, as long as they do one bad thing, the good reputation they have accumulated for most of their lives will instantly collapse and disappear, and then they will be included in the list of bad people.In contrast, if someone has done evil deeds for half his life, and they are indelible evil deeds, no matter how good he has done in the future, he will not be able to wash away his sins; even if he dies, the sins will still fall on the On his grave, it is recorded in the annals to warn future generations.Lu Bu is one of them.

Recalling the evil things Lu Bu had done, Chen Gong couldn't help but blush, deeply disdainful, but inconvenient to speak out.So he had no choice but to stay silent and try his best to calm down, lest he lose control of his emotions and formally tear himself apart with Lu Bu.

After a long while, Chen Gong didn't say any more, and directly handed the letter in his sleeve to Lu Bu, and then stood aside without saying a word, closed his eyes and meditated, and remained silent.

"Uh! This is..." Lv Bu, who thought that Chen Gong was going to preach again, took the letter with a blank expression, looked at Chen Gong suspiciously, then lowered his head to open the kit, and took out the secret letter to read.At the first sight of the beginning, Lu Bu couldn't help exclaiming, and suddenly raised his head to look at Chen Gong, but saw Chen Gong closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, standing there motionless like a wooden stake.

Not long after, Lu Bu read the secret letter, slowly rolled up the letter with a sullen expression, and stuffed it back into the kit, then frowned and fell into deep thought, without speaking for a long time.

After thinking for a while, Lu Bu sighed softly: "Gongtai must have read the secret letter, so let's do what you say. I have to trouble Mr. Gongtai to raise food, grass and supplies, and order the generals to prepare for the war. They will set off in five days. Defeat Yuan Shu!"

"No, I will obey." Chen Gong bowed to accept the order.

This was what he expected, and there was no need to waste any words at all. After seeing the secret letter, Lu Bu would never dare to refuse, and would follow the secret letter to the letter no matter what.Because this secret letter was written by General Li Li himself, if there is anyone in the world who can make Lu Bu dare not say "no", then this person must be Li Li from Xiliang.The rebellious Bingzhou tiger is not without fear. The only person he fears is Li Li and Li Wenchang who have repeatedly frustrated him.

Chapter 955 Killing the Wolf and Fighting Lulong

Luronse was as calm as ever.The wind is sunny, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, the green grass is like a rug, and it is a lush scene.

Inside the city guard's mansion, the generals accompanying the expedition gathered together and were discussing the battle ahead.

Coach Li Ligao sits on the upper steps, with a warm smile just like the sunshine outside the door, making people feel like a spring breeze and feel close.On both sides of the hall, Gongsun Zan sat first on the left, and the rest were Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Yan Gang, Shi A, Ma Dai and other generals.The first seat on the right side was originally the seat of the Right Army Adviser Guo Jia, but at this moment, there was the newly arrived Army Adviser Zhuge Liang, and the rest were Mi Zhu, Tian Yu and other military scribes.
