Chapter 180: The Exchange Between Lu Bu and Yuan Shao!

After receiving the allegiance of Tian Feng and Zhang He, Lu Bu was naturally very excited.

However, Lu Bu did not forget the business.

Divide the troops into two ways to resist the counterattack of the army led by Yuan Shao when he arrived, and recapture Youzhou, which has been occupied by himself.

Zhang Liao, Li Ru, Liao Hua, and Pei Yuanshao led an army of 30,000 to garrison Daijun, lest Yuan Shao send troops from Bingzhou into Youzhou.

And Lu Bu himself personally led 20,000 wolf cavalry and 30,000 ordinary soldiers, with Chen Gong and Tian Feng as military advisors, and Gao Shun, Zang Ba and others as deputy generals.

Of course, there is also Cao Bao who led the navy, which has expanded to 10,000, to respond in the Bohai Sea.

Lü Bu's goal was to go south to Zhuo County to resist Yuan Shao's counterattack from Jizhou.

Of course, Yuan Shao's political center Yecheng is in Jizhou, and Yuan Shao will attack Youzhou from Zhuojun nine times out of ten, so Lu Bu will personally lead the team.

What's more, Lu Bu not only has to resist Yuan Shao's counterattack, but Lu Bu also wants to occupy more territory and population of Yuan Shao and expand his own power.

Anyway, Yuan Shao's power has turned from prosperity to decline, and as recorded in history, Yuan Shao does not have long to live!

After Yuan Shao's death, Yuan Shao's territory and population are cheap, and Cao Cao's house might as well let himself occupy it.

At that time, Lu Buhao led the army south to meet Cao Cao, a hero in troubled times.

Defeated Cao Cao strongly, and reported that Lu Bu fled from Xuzhou in embarrassment because of Cao Cao!

Lü Bu led the army south at a very fast pace, and soon entered Zhuo County.

However, Lü Bu led the army to change its original intention and did not stop at Zhuojun, and then dealt with the counterattack of the army led by Yuan Shao.

Lü Bu led the army to continue southward and came to the Hejian Kingdom of Jizhou, a county town called 'Yi County'.

Yi County is Yi Jing.

It was here that Yuan Shao led the army to completely destroy Gongsun Zhan's power, and Gongsun Zhan also burned himself to death in Yi County, so Youzhou was obtained by Yuan Shao.

Yi County, built by Gongsun Zhan, is very tall, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At the suggestion of Chen Gong and Tian Feng, they occupied Yi County and dealt with the counterattack of the army led by Yuan Shao in Yi County.

Since Chen Gong and Tian Feng, the two wise men, both believed that it was best to occupy Yi County to resist Yuan Shao's army, Lu Bu naturally had no objection.

Then, he ordered Gao Shun and Zang Ba to lead a large army to attack Yi County.

Break through Yi County as soon as possible, so as to prepare some defensive work!

Since the north of Yi County was Youzhou, and Youzhou was also Yuan Shao's at that time, the strategic location of Yi County was not very important, so Yuan Shao naturally did not send heavy troops to garrison Yi County.

Therefore, under the siege of Lu Bu's wolf-like army, although Yi County was easy to defend and difficult to attack, it was quickly broken by Lu Bu's army.

Since Yi County has been broken by his own army, immediately after, Lu Bu naturally wants to lead the army into Yi County.

Entering Yi County, Lu Bu disposed of some of the strong and stubborn people who were dissatisfied with Lu Bu's army and settled in Yi County, and then used a series of benefits to appease the residents of the city, so that they could accept their rule from now on.

Then, Lü Bu mobilized troops and horses to garrison the Sifang City Gate, and made some preparations, such as raising the city wall, mobilizing strategic materials, etc., so as to deal with the counterattack of the army led by Yuan Shao.

After Lu Bu stabilized Yi County and did a good job of defense, Yuan Shao led the army to come outside Yi County.

Although Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao in the Battle of Guandu, he lost more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

However, after all, Yuan Shao's family is big, and from the three states of Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou, Yuan Shao quickly gathered an army of 60,000.

Coupled with Yuan Shao's recruitment during this period of time, as well as the use of coercive means to recruit strong men, Yuan Shao actually gathered an army of 100,000.

Yuan Shao led an army of 100,000 people, and Yuan Shao's move was not only to recapture Youzhou occupied by Lu Bu, but also to destroy Lu Bu in one fell swoop, and to destroy Lu Bu's forces, leading the army to seize Pingzhou established by Lu Bu.

Retaliate against Lu Bu, making Lu Bu so arrogant and daring to provoke him Yuan Shao.

The army led by Lü Bu was held in Yi County, and the 100,000 army led by Yuan Shao was encamped outside Yi County.

Although Yuan Shao hated Lu Bu, he did not order the army to attack Yi County, which had only been occupied by Lu Bu for a short time.

Because, the most important thing now is the exchange with Lu Bu, in exchange for his second son Yuan Xi.

Then, it is the time for your own army to fight, destroy Lu Bu, and destroy Lu Bu's forces.

Yuan Shao wants to make Lu Bu like Gongsun Zhan, Yi County, and Lu Bu's grave from now on!

Let Lu Bu take away his Youzhou, and now he has entered Jizhou and seized Yi County!

……

Outside Yi County, a hundred meters away, Lu Bu and Yuan Shao met under the protection of their respective heavy troops.

Because, the two sides have to exchange the people they want before they fight.

Yuan Shao needed Yuan Xi, the second son who was captured by Lu Bu, and Lu Bu also needed the entire family of Tian Feng and Zhang He.

After returning from the exchange, he appeased the hearts of Tian Feng and Zhang He, who had just been loyal to him.

Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse and looked at Yuan Shao opposite, his expression was very indifferent.

However, Lu Bu's heart was extremely disdainful of Yuan Shao.

In the past, Yuan Shao was high, born in the fourth and third dukes, owned the land of Hebei and four states, and was the largest prince in the world.

Even Cao Cao, the hero of the troubled times, was afraid of the powerful Yuan Shao, and when Yuan Shao led the army south, he still wanted to retreat to Xu Du and defend it.

The current Yuan Shao, because of the blow of the defeat in the Battle of Guandu, as recorded in history, is not far from death.

Not to mention, Youzhou has now been occupied by himself, his son and daughter-in-law have become his prisoners, and the strategists and generals have turned their backs on him and are loyal to him, which has hit Yuan Shao hard, making Yuan Shao even more unable to accept this result.

Looking at Yuan Shao, who was now pale and had a kind of despondent after a great defeat in his eyes, Lu Bu could already predict that Yuan Shao might not even live as long as recorded in history.

However, Lu Bu wished that Yuan Shao could die early, and then let his son kill each other in order to compete for his inheritance, so that his inheritance would be quickly divided.

In this way, Lu Bu will lead the army to the south by then, and the road will become smoother!

What Lu Bu has to think about now is how to grab more territory and population that originally belonged to Yuan Shao in front of Cao Cao after Yuan Shao hangs up.

After all, now that Cao Cao defeated the strong with the weak and defeated the great enemy Yuan Shao, it was the time for the scenery to be infinite.

For Yuan Shao's large territory and population, Cao Cao naturally coveted it!

Lu Bu doesn't take Yuan Shao in his eyes, but Lu Bu won't take Cao Cao, a hero in troubled times, in his eyes!

Cao Cao himself is extremely capable, whether it is governing the government or leading troops to fight.

Moreover, Cao Cao has a lot of talents.

Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu and other strategists.

Le Jin, Xu Huang, Yu Ban, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan and other generals.

With such a star combination, although Lu Bu is arrogant, he is sensible.

Lu Bu will not let himself capsize again in the gutter because he underestimated Cao Cao, just like he was in Xuzhou!
