Chapter 672: Returning to the North
With Cai Yang's joining, Li Dian felt a lot more relieved, and Cai Yang immediately admired Li Jin when he learned that it was Li Jin who injured Lu Bu, and he saw Lu Bu's ferocity, and although Li Jin said that he was basically abolished now, he was able to force Lu Bu back to show his strength.
Similarly, Li Jin was also surprised to learn that Cai Yang and Lu Bu had a big fight, although Lu Bu was injured, but his strength was not a joke, and it was impossible to force Lu Bu back without the hard power of Guan Zhang, so the Li family and the Qin family quickly converged and marched towards Chen Liu under mutual admiration.
As for Liu Bei's side, he didn't receive the relevant information at all, after all, with Lu Bu's arrogance, he was absolutely unwilling to talk to anyone about the disgusting things that happened that day, although his failure had quite reasonable reasons, but it didn't mean that he could accept this kind of failure.
So by the time Lu Bulai's army was ready to intercept Li Jin and Cai Yang's subordinates, and then prepared to destroy these two of them in a fair one-on-two, the Li family and the Qin family had already entered Chen Liu.
When Lu Bu was hesitating whether to attack Chen Liuyi to relieve his grievances, Chen Gong sent a letter asking him to prepare to return north, because Yuan Shao had already come, and from Wei County, Jizhou, Qinghe Kingdom began to send troops to occupy Yanzhou East County, Dongping Kingdom, and even the northern part of Jiyin.
At this time, it was the best time for Lu Bu to break away from Yanzhou and go north to attack Hu, completely abandon Yanzhou, lead his troops to the northern expedition, hand over Yanzhou to Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, and with the righteousness that has been obtained, he can also get a benefit from Yuan Shao's side without resisting all of them.
After this period of time, when Yuan Shao fully relied on his absolute strength to capture the northern part of Yanzhou, then they would no longer have the capital to negotiate with Yuan Shao. At this time, it will be completely up to Yuan Shaozhun or not.
Although the possibility of Yuan Shao's inaccuracy is basically zero, Chen Gong can't just watch the benefits that are about to come fly away. Therefore, while making peace with Feng Ji, he began to gather Lu Bu and all the generals under Lu Bu to prepare for returning to the north. and took the opportunity to issue the final text, calling on like-minded Wenchen generals in the Central Plains to go to the north with him to cut Hu.
"Brother Yuantu, what do you think of this?" Chen Gong smiled and talked with Feng Ji, when Feng Ji drove to Yanzhou not long ago, Chen Gong knew that Liu Bei's large-scale reception had finally caused Yuan Shao's reaction.
"It's not good, it's not good, our army provides your army with tens of thousands of people a year's military rations, and your army is so foolish with our army." Feng Ji flicked his sleeves and had the intention of leaving, but it was just an action.
"Brother Yuantu has something to say, something to say." Chen Gong immediately reached out and grabbed Feng Ji's sleeve and persuaded with a smile. "We can talk about it again, you see this great fertile soil in Dongjun, our army will let go of the constraints, and your army will be able to fully accept it within three days without much effort."
In other words, if it weren't for relying on Yuan Shao in the north in the future, Chen Gong would not be too lazy to pay attention to Ji now, knowing that Liu Bei would win and not hugging his thighs, isn't this looking for excitement? However, now that the shape is like this, Chen Gong has no choice but to give Dongjun and Dongping to Yuan Shao. Otherwise, the Northern Expedition will have few twists and turns.
"Gongtai, my lord Yuan Jizhou also understands your difficulties, but it will not end well if a daughter marries two families. After all, Liu Xuande is located in the Central Plains, and after returning to the north, it is difficult to have support. And our lord can be said to be the rear of your army, please think more about which is more important. Feng Ji said solemnly.
"The problem is that your army was defeated by the Taishan army before. Our army can only choose to cooperate with Taishan, presumably this Yuan Tu can also understand. We have no right to speak at all, we can only let it go, if not, why would my friend Lu Fengxian abandon this great Central Plains land and go to the bitter cold land in the north. Chen Gongchang sighed, wiped a handful of tears and said with a wry smile.
Feng Ji peeked at Chen Gong and made sure that Chen Gong was telling the truth, and he had also investigated when he came, and Taishan was indeed a strong supporter of Lu Bu's Northern Expedition.
It can even be said that the entire Lu Bu Beigui was planned by Taishan, but after the analysis of Xu You and others, it was finally determined that even if Lu Bu's Beigui was planned by Liu Bei, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages for Yuan Shao.
After all, that righteousness not only binds all the princes, but also binds Lu Bu, once Lu Bu repeats under this righteousness, then there is only a dead end, Liu Bei can't restrain this kind of general who subverts the national righteousness even if he has great courage, so it will be impossible for Lu Bu to help Liu Bei.
More importantly, in Xu You's analysis, with Lu Bu's strength, not to mention the comprehensive recovery of the Hetao Plain, it is estimated that there will be no problem in recovering one or two counties.
The important thing is that Lu Bu himself did not have a civil servant who could manage the county, although there was a Chen Palace, but there was no family like the Central Plains in Bingzhou, and naturally there were no middle and lower-level civil officials who could govern the county.
In this way, in the end, the governance of the county still has to fall into the hands of Yuan Shao, so there is more contact with Lu Bu, and when Yuan Shao defeats Liu Bei, and then goes north to completely defeat the Hu people, and complete this righteousness for Lu Bu, so that subduing Lu Bu is basically a matter of one sentence.
After all, with Lu Bu's combat effectiveness, all the princes in the world are hot-eyed, whether it is the command of the army or the force, it is the world's first-class existence.
Chen Gong followed Feng Ji for a while, and finally persuaded Feng Ji, in addition to Linyi, Yuan Shaojun relied on the comprehensive border of Jizhou to directly receive it within one day, and then snatched it with Tai Shi Ci in Dongping, divided Dongping equally, and finally forcibly seized the north of Jiyin from the north to the south.
Although Liu Beijun said that he had been prepared, he could not stand Yuan Shao's Jizhou and Yanzhou borders on a comprehensive basis, and finally only successfully accepted Jibei, Rencheng, Shanyang County, as well as several counties in the south of Jiyin, and half of Dongping.
After receiving the land, both Yuan and Liu held back their military momentum and did not provoke the other side, but quickly reclaimed the land in Yanzhou to prepare for spring ploughing, and both sides already felt the war clouds lingering over their heads, and after the summer grain harvest, this autumn war could not be avoided.
At the same time, Lu Bujun had already packed up and officially started to return to the north, and the road of the Northern Expedition had begun under their feet.
"I'm finally going back to the state." Lu Bu's hand holding Fang Tian's halberd trembled slightly, and the red rabbit horse under his crotch seemed to feel the excitement in Lu Bu's heart and ran up with joy.
"Yanmen ......" Zhang Liao's expression was inexplicably resolute, and the internal qi on his body slowly rose, changing at a speed visible to the naked eye, maybe Zhang Liao's obsession was very light and light, so faint that Zhang Liao himself was not aware of it, but standing on the border of Bingzhou, he was still extremely excited in his heart.
"Jiuyuan ......" The white brilliance on Gao Shun's body mixed with the bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, he was finally going back. (To be continued......)
ps: Say that I strengthen the enemy's difficulty, how to say it, there are some battles in this book that must appear, just like Guan Yu must kill Yan Liangwen and Chou in seconds, and Cai Yang is hacked to death by the three-way drum, Li Jin must also defeat Lu Bu, but don't worry, there will be no matter for Li Jin from now on, as for Cai Yang, the next time he appears in front of Guan Yu will be the battle of the Sword Ancestor......
