Chapter 187: Jizhou Envoy
After Liu, Guan, and Zhang retreated, Lu Bu was really relaxed for several days.
Since communicating with Diao Chan that day, Lu Bu has been very busy.
It's not that he's busy with important military and political affairs.
At this time, although there are all kinds of wastes waiting to be rebuilt, it is also on the right track, and there is really no need for Lu Bu to do more.
Therefore, Lu Bu was justifiably arrested by the four ladies in the house.
The four women seemed to have discussed it, and did not give Lu Bu the slightest respite.
may be under Diao Chan's words and deeds, even in broad daylight, he often obsesses with Lu Bu.
At this time, Lu Bu cursed with infinite resentment.
Which bastard always advocates the blessing of Qi people, where is the blessing of Qi people so easy.
Lu Bu rubbed his waist while looking at a somewhat wilted flower in the vase with a complaint, and suddenly a feeling of sympathy rose in his heart, and he complained to himself.
Just when Lu Bu felt sorry for himself, Zhang Ning walked in with a porcelain bowl in his hand.
Just now, she saw Lu Bu's waist rubbing, and secretly laughed.
In the past few days, Lu Bu has really been tormented, but fortunately, his body is strong and different from ordinary people, otherwise he would not have been able to hold it for a long time.
Lu Bu turned his head and saw the porcelain bowl in Zhang Ning's hand, and his handsome face immediately turned into a bitter gourd face.
Zhang Ning naturally saw Lu Bu's expression clearly, and laughed softly: "Husband, this is a freshly stewed tonic soup, drink it while it's hot." ”
Lu Bu had a bitter face, and was about to refuse, when a maid outside suddenly hurriedly walked into the small courtyard.
The maid opened her mouth and said, "Master, someone is looking for you outside." ”
Lu Bu's eyes lit up, he couldn't wait to find an excuse to slip away, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”
"I heard that it was a person sent by Zhang Dajiang from the craftsman camp, saying that there is something important to discuss."
"Master Zhang?" Lu Bu drank the tonic soup in the porcelain bowl in two sips, got up and walked out.
When he came to the door, he didn't forget to turn around, winked at Zhang Ning and said, "Ning'er, I'll come back when I'm done with business, hehehe." ”
Zhang Ning looked at Lu Bu's figure infinitely gentle, and his green jade hand lightly covered the cherry sip, and laughed softly.
The graceful demeanor is more charming and moving than the flowers in the breeze.
After Lu Bu entered the craftsman camp, he did not look for Zhang Da, but walked directly to Jia Xu's secret room.
This was a secret agreement between him and Jia Xu.
Every time there is an emergency, someone will contact him and say that Zhang Dajiang is in a hurry.
In this way, you can hide as much as possible.
Lu Bu pushed open the door of Jia Xu's office, and Tian Feng was also sitting in the secret room.
Lu Bu split his head and asked, "Strategist, sir, what is the urgent matter?" ”
After Jia Xu and Tian Feng met the ceremony, Jia Xu opened his mouth and said, "Yuan Shao has made a move to Youzhou. ”
Before Lu Bu could speak, Tian Feng added beside him: "Decisive battle." ”
"Decisive battle!?" Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu with a solemn look in his eyes.
Jia Xu nodded and said, "I thought that according to Yuan Shao's character, there shouldn't be a large-scale decisive battle so soon. However, what he didn't expect was that he started like this. ”
"Please also ask the military advisor to explain in detail."
"A few days ago, Yuan Shao mobilized a large army of Chen Bing and the border of Hebei and You. Two days ago, Yuan Shao's troops were divided into two routes, one was led by the general Gao Ran, leading 50,000 troops, and the other was led by Yuan Shao himself, with 100,000 soldiers, to assault Youzhou. ”
"It's really not like Yuan Shao's usual style." Lu Bu exclaimed.
Although Yuan Shao has a large number of soldiers, his consistent style of acting is a little indecisive.
While on the bright side this is a form of composure, the consequence is that many aircraft are often missed.
Especially in the chaotic times of hegemony, once a good opportunity is missed, it will cause very serious consequences.
But this time, Yuan Shao was able to decisively send a large army to attack Youzhou, which seemed a bit unbelievable to Lu Bu.
Yuan Shao had previously sent a large army to occupy the four counties of Sizhou, and most of the 100,000 horses were still stationed in the four counties.
There were less than 200,000 horses left in Jizhou, but this time they attacked Youzhou, but they directly sent 150,000 people.
In other words, the number of soldiers and horses garrisoned in Jizhou today is only 50,000.
It is the weakest time.
Lu Bu opened his mouth and asked, "Isn't Yuan Shao crazy doing this?" ”
Jia Xu silently did not answer, and Tian Feng said on the side: "As early as when the lord took Chang'an, Yuan Shao sent lobbyists to Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other places to persuade Cao Cao and Tao Qian not to participate in the northern dispute. Earlier today, Yuan Shao's envoy arrived in Jinyang. ”
After finishing speaking, Tian Feng waited for a while, and then asked, "Lord, when are you going to meet this person?" ”
Lu Bu opened his mouth and asked, "Who is Yuan Shao's envoy?" ”
"Yingchuan Guo Gongze."
"But the strategist who went to Zhongshan last time to greet his relatives?"
"That's the man."
Lu Bu still has a good impression of this person, this guy is a sinister villain, he is very good at tricks and tricks, although his eloquence is good, but he is a little late, that is to say, the reaction is not very fast.
Yuan Shao sent this person here, definitely to negotiate reconciliation.
Lu Bu pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there any other news?" ”
Jia Xu nodded and said, "Cao Cao has now completely controlled Qing and Yan Erzhou. After welcoming the Son of Heaven, Tao Qian and Cao Cao became increasingly close. ”
Lu Bu suddenly asked, "Has Wen Ruo already defected to Cao Cao?" ”
Tian Feng and Jia Xu glanced at each other and nodded silently.
"Alas-" Lu Bu sighed and changed the subject: "Strategist, please continue." ”
Jia Xu nodded and continued to explain: "There is not much going on in the south for the time being. On the Guanzhong side, Li Ru has completely stabilized Chang'an. With the help of Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu has now also joined our army. ”
"What happened to the refugees from Hongnong?"
Li Wenyou did a good job in this regard, he imitated the lord's method of tuntian and improved it. 10,000 Tuntian soldiers were reorganized, and two generals, Zhang Liao and Tai Shici, were trained by them. Ordinary people were given land by ploughing first and returning it later, allowing them to cultivate, which stabilized the people's hearts. ”
"Plough first and pay later?"
"That's right. That is, each family allocates a certain amount of land according to the number of people, gives it to cultivate, signs an IOU, and when the harvest season comes, each mu of land only needs a small rent to be handed over to the government, and can continue farming. ”
"That's a good idea." Lu Bu relieved his heart and continued to ask: "How are the four counties of Sizhou now?" Is it all in Yuan Shao's hands? ”
Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Hongnong was first taken away by Liu Biao, and then by Yuan Shu. Liu Biao didn't say that he lost his soldiers, but also made a wedding dress for Yuan Shu, and the grudge between the two sides was very deep. ”
"Hahahaha, I can't see that Yuan Shu is this guy, but he is also shrewd, and he actually used a trick of catching cicadas and yellow finches with a praying mantis. So how did Cao Cao and Yuan Shao react to this? ”
Jia Xu also had a smile on his face, and continued: "Yuan Shu's timing is really good, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are both stabilizing their own territory, and they can't make a move, so they also take a tacit attitude towards Yuan Shu's occupation of Hongnong. ”
"Very good, very good." Lu Bu stroked his palms and smiled.
Before, it was discussed to use Yuan Shu as a bait to claim the title of emperor to attract everyone's attention.
Before this plan began, Yuan Shu had already done a big thing, so that everyone began to shift their attention to him.
This naturally made Lu Bu very happy, and even hoped that Yuan Shu would be as powerful as possible now.
Because the stronger he is, the easier it will be to become emperor in the future, and the greater the sensation will be caused after becoming emperor.
The effect will naturally be better.
Tian Feng also understood the reason under Jia Xu's explanation.
The laughter of the three echoed through the small room.
After a few moments, the three stopped laughing.
Lu Bu was the first to speak: "Let Guo Tu wait for a day first, and I will see him early tomorrow morning." ”
Tian Feng hurriedly opened his mouth and persuaded: "Lord, I will see him tomorrow, isn't it a little early?" ”
Shaking his head, Lu Bu opened his mouth to explain: "It's not early. This time, Yuan Shao personally conscripted Gongsun Zhan, and the war may not last long. By the way, did that Ju Yi go on the expedition with Yuan Shao? ”
Jia Xu opened his mouth and replied: "This person is following Yuan Shao as a pioneer this time. ”
"That's right, with him, Gongsun Chan should not be far from defeat."
"How powerful is this man?" Tian Feng asked suspiciously.
Lu Bu nodded and said, "From the perspective of using troops in battle, this person deserves the word supernatural mastery. ”
Jia Xu and Tian Feng were silent when they heard this, and a solemn look appeared in their eyes.
Lu Bu will not easily evaluate a person, but everyone who is evaluated by him is very accurate.
This has become common knowledge among the state group.
Being praised so much by Lu Bu is enough to show how powerful Ju Yi is.
Lu Bu didn't continue to dwell on this topic, and said: "And now that Yuan Shu's strength has risen again, the forces of all parties have basically stabilized. If you don't go to Yuan Shu's side again, I'm afraid that it will change later. ”
"Xiaguan will go and arrange it."
Lu Bu nodded.
The next day, early in the morning.
Lu Bu had a court discussion with a group of civil ministers and military generals, and everyone's faces were full of smiles.
Although the state has undergone a recent upheaval, it has quickly subsided and the situation is back on track in just a few days.
This made everyone in the state very happy.
Towards the end of the court discussion, Lu Bu nodded to Tian Feng.
Tian Feng came out and said loudly: "My lord, there is a messenger Guo Tu from Jizhou who has come to ask to see my lord. ”
"Oh? Yuan Shao's messenger? Lu Bu pretended to be surprised and asked.
"Exactly. It is said that Yuan Shao had something important to discuss with the lord, so he sent someone here. ”
Lu Bu pondered for a while and said, "In this case, please invite Mr. Guo in." ”
Immediately afterward, a sergeant went out to pass the word.
In less than half a cup of tea, Guo Tu, who had been waiting outside, followed the sergeant into the meeting hall quickly.
After Guo Tu entered the main hall, he first glanced around at the people in the hall, and then saluted Lu Bu, and said without humility or arrogance: "I am engaged in Guo Tu in the Lower Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao Mansion, and I have seen Lu Wenhou, the Mu of Bingzhou. Baidu will read the latest chapter of "Lu Bujie's Literature of the Three Kingdoms" for free for the first time.
