After receiving two thousand soldiers and horses from Yuan Shao, there were already five thousand soldiers and horses in Lu Bu's hands.

That's not a small amount.

With Lu Bu's ability, with these 5,000 troops, there is absolutely no problem in conquering a small city.

It's just five thousand people, and eating is a big problem.

The grain and grass that Yuan Shu gave at the beginning had been almost consumed.

So Lu Bu opened his mouth and asked Yuan Shao for 20,000 stone of grain and grass.

The good name is to help rescue the Son of Heaven.

Yuan Shao had already decided to let Guo Tu take people and secretly get rid of Lu Bu.

At this time, I just wanted to send Lu Bu away quickly, and I agreed to Lu Bu's request in one bite.

And after Lu Bu left Yuan Shao, he did not immediately go south.

Instead, he continued to go north, decided to enter Youzhou, and then asked Zhao Hui for a little soldiers, horses, food and grass.

Although 5,000 people is not a small number, you must know that Lu Bu now has to face various princes, who is not holding hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands.

His five thousand men are really nothing.

It's okay to fight a small city, but it's still too much worse to compete with other princes.

As for recruiting soldiers and horses, fight back to Chang'an.

Lu Bu just said that whether it will be implemented or not depends on whether there is a chance on the Chang'an side.

Or maybe the chances are better here.

"Lord, there is someone following behind. There were about five hundred people. ”

Zhang Liao came to Lu Bu and said.

"I see, the whole army moves on." Lu Budao.

He has been fighting almost all his life.

In Yuan Shao's territory, he has done too much, and Lu Bu has naturally been guarding against Yuan Shao all along.

He dared to do this, because he was confident that even if Yuan Shao made a move, he could kill it.

Someone was following behind, and Lu Bu was not surprised.

Even if he wants to leave Jizhou, as long as he hasn't left Jizhou, Yuan Shao won't be at ease.

It's just that Lu Bu didn't know that although there were only five hundred people behind them.

However, under Guo Tu's deployment, in other places, there were as few as three or five hundred people, and as many as seven or eight hundred, all of whom began to converge here.

By the time Lü Bu left Jizhou, Guo Tu would be able to gather an army of 20,000 men.

And Zhao Hui of Youzhou also received the news that Lu Bu was coming north, and when he learned that Lu Bu was in Bingzhou, Zhao Hui also went to Bingzhou in person and secretly observed.

At that time, Zhao Hui also wanted to subdue Lu Bu and change Lu Bu's fate.

Just after observing, Zhao Hui gave up.

Lu Bu and Liu Bei actually have a lot of similarities, they both like to be independent and unwilling to surrender to others.

Even if they take refuge in others now, they are only temporary, and they will leave at any time if they have the opportunity.

All the while maintaining their independence.

No matter who Liu Bei takes refuge into, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have always followed him, and others can't command.

And the same is true for Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Hou Cheng and others have always been under his own command.

It's just that Liu Bei is more forbearant and more restrained, even if he wants to leave, he is always good at gathering and dispersing.

And Lu Bu is going to annex it.

Liu Bei defected to others, because he wanted to maintain his independence, he had been working for nothing.

I did a lot of things, but when I left, I was still only close to him.

But Lu Bu was unwilling.

He was dissatisfied with Ding Yuan, even if he wanted to take refuge with Dong Zhuo, he would take all the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou to take refuge together.

Dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu also wanted to kill Dong Zhuo and take Dong Zhuo's place.

It's a pity that Dong Zhuo is not Ding Yuan, for so many years, Lu Bu has not been able to control the Xiliang Army in Dong Zhuo's hands.

Even if he joined forces with Wang Yun, he was still forced out of Chang'an by the Xiliang Army left behind by Dong Zhuo.

In the past few years with Dong Zhuo, the Bingzhou Army in Lu Bu's hands has not been developed, but Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army has become stronger and stronger.

This is also a reason why Lu Bu is dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo.

Although Lu Bu was very careful, this was Jizhou after all, and Guo Tu mobilized the army, and there were ways to hide it from Lu Bu.

But Guo Tu just wanted not to be discovered by Lu Bu, but he didn't know that Zhao Hui had also been staring at Jizhou.

Zhao Hui has already made countless eyes and ears in Jizhou.

Even though the number of soldiers mobilized by Guo Tu in each place was very small, this information was still put in front of Zhao Hui's table.

"Their target is Lu Bu."

Xu Shu said after reading all the information.

For every move of the Jizhou army, it was the focus of Zhao Hui's attention.

If Yuan Shao's army began to assemble, Zhao Hui would have to respond.

Only this time, Xu Shu's analysis results were different from before.

The purpose of the Jizhou soldiers and horses mobilization this time is not Youzhou, but Lu Bu, who is preparing to come to Youzhou.

However, Guo Jia has a different opinion.

"We still have to be careful, whether these assembled troops want to deal with Lu Bu or help Lu Bu can't be decided yet." Guo Jia said.

"Yuan Shao has the intention of killing Lu Bu, but he may also use Lu Bu, these assembled soldiers are obviously to get rid of Lu Bu, or they may cooperate with Lu Bu to raid Youzhou."

Yuan Shao wants to deal with Lu Bu, only Guo Tu knows.

Even those soldiers who were assembling only obeyed orders, and after receiving Guo Tu's order, they followed the route set by Guo Tu.

What road to walk every day, how long to walk every day, Guo Tu has set it for them.

As for what to do when they arrive at their destination, none of the lieutenants in command of these soldiers are clear, let alone other ordinary soldiers.

Guo Tu personally led five hundred people to follow behind Lu Bu.

is just to create an illusion for Lu Bu, he is just spying on Lu Bu, not to deal with Lu Bu.

Lu Bu has 5,000 people in his hands, and he can lead 500 people to threaten Lu Bu?

Lu Bu himself didn't believe that it would be taken down by just five hundred people.

"What do you recommend?" Zhao Hui said.

If Guo Tu wants to deal with Lu Bu, Zhao Hui can naturally watch the play.

But if he wants to cooperate with Lu Bu to attack Youzhou, Zhao Hui needs to come up with a way to deal with it.

Although judging from the information received now, when Lu Bu entered Youzhou, the number of soldiers around him would not exceed 30,000.

However, if Lu Bu is really allowed to command nearly 30,000 soldiers, it will definitely make Youzhou turbulent, and many cities will be conquered by Lu Bu in a short time.

Xu Shu said: "General Dian Wei can lead 30,000 people into Beiping." ”

This is the safest way to do it.

Even if Lu Bu really came to attack Youzhou, with Dian Wei in charge, he could hold Lu Bu back for a while.

Guo Jia said: "The mobilization of troops and horses can be slowed down, and it will take at least half a month for Lu Bu to go to Youzhou." The lord can write a letter to Lu Bu, and inform Lu Bu of all the information we have obtained, and see how Lu Bu behaves. ”

Mobilize troops and horses, but whether there is a battle or not, the consumption of grain and grass is inevitable.

If you can't be transferred, it's better not to be transferred.

As long as Lu Bu sees this information, he can basically conclude from Lu Bu's actions what the relationship between Lu Bu and Yuan Shao is.
