According to Chen Gong's dissuasion, Lu Bu did not announce the matter of secretly funding the annexation of the state to the world. However, the dispatch of troops in Guanzhong will inevitably make the hearts of the Bingzhou army fluctuate, so Lu Bu had to order the entire line to shrink and withdraw the 80,000 troops to Taihang Mountain. He was stationed on the front line of Tianjing Pass, and at the same time ordered Zhang Liao to drive 30,000 troops to garrison the river. But who would have thought that the Guanzhong army did not place the target of crossing the river and killing on the state, but sent troops along the river, intending to occupy Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Yanmen and other places.

At the same time, the Jizhou Army and the Yanzhou Army joined forces to capture Hanoi, and then advanced north to confront the Bingzhou Army on the line of Taihang Mountain. The two sides totaled nearly 300,000 troops, spread out at the foot of Taihang Mountain, and the military camp stretched for hundreds of miles, which was amazing. Liu Bei and his entourage, who were light and simple, looked at the military flag hunting in the wind, and were silent. To this day, Jian Yong, who remains in Leling, has not yet found out who poured the dirty water of Yuan Xi's death on Qingzhou's head.

"Big brother, I just heard from the Jizhou soldiers who guarded us that Long Jun had led his troops to Shuofang along the river, trying to occupy the northern counties of Bingzhou. From this point of view, Guanzhong's dispatch of troops has been premeditated, you say that we are framed in Qingzhou, will it be done by Guanzhong? I've heard that Long Jun has a shadow army under him, specializing in assassinations and the like! Although Zhang Fei looked at the five big and three thick, he did not deny that the brain of this product was sometimes very effective, if Long Jun was here, he would definitely praise him for watching the fire. However, Long Jun was not here at this moment, so Guan Yu could only glance at Zhang Fei angrily.

It is undeniable that Zhang Fei's train of thought did give Liu Bei a direction for thinking. However, it is not thousands of miles from Guanzhong to Qingzhou, even if Long Jun has a long hand, it is impossible to remotely control such an elite army to lurk in Jizhou and Qingzhou, right? And even if it was Long Jun's doing, then how did he evacuate the army from Qingzhou? Does he also have the ability to sprinkle beans into soldiers like Zhang Jiao? But now that he is being coerced by Yuan Shao, if he doesn't have an explanation, even if he plans to risk his life to show his innocence, it is impossible for Jizhou to let him go, after all, Qingzhou is such a big piece of fat, and no one can give it up.

So Liu Bei turned his head and glared at Zhang Fei fiercely, and then said in a decisive manner: "The third brother Hugh has to say in vain, now that the Marquis of Zhenbei and Yuan Zhou Mu are in an alliance, how can they plot to frame the second son of Yuan behind their backs?" Moreover, with the relationship between Meng Degong and Meng Degong, Guan Zhongjun will do such things for the tiger, doesn't this mean that the relatives will be painful and the enemies will be happy? If you frame him in the future because of the grievances between us and the Marquis of Zhenbei, don't blame the eldest brother for not thinking about brotherhood. ”

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhang Fei hurriedly retracted his head into his neck, as if he had really admitted his mistake, but secretly pursed his lips disdainfully, he just wanted to lead the disaster to the east, so that Qingzhou could reduce his suspicion. didn't expect Liu Bei to be even more ruthless, it seemed that he was helping Long Jun explain, but in fact, he analyzed a wave for Jizhou, expanding Long Jun's suspicion infinitely. As long as the people who were monitoring them at this time passed the news back, Long Jun would inevitably be questioned by Yuan Shao.

If this continues, the alliance between the two sides will be broken without attacking, and Bingzhou will be able to relax and continue to confront the Jizhou army, while reducing the pressure on Qingzhou. If Lu Bu is ruthless and breaks the net with the Jizhou army, then the Qingzhou soldiers and horses will have a great chance to win the Qinghai-Hebei War in the future. I have to say that if Liu Bei wasn't his eldest brother, Zhang Fei would definitely scold the old fox behind his back.

Zhang Fei, who is as careful as a hair, can figure out this, and the rest of the Qingzhou generals can certainly think it through. After waiting for one less person in the Jizhou guards around him, Guan Yu stepped forward, walked to Liu Bei's side, and asked in his ear, "Big brother, what if Yuan Shao doesn't go to Long Jun for interrogation?" Long Jun's secret power cannot be underestimated, in case he knows that we are pointing him out behind his back, when the coalition forces approach Taiyuan, Long Jun will definitely do something to us. With only more than 100 personal soldiers in our hands, we can't compete with Long Jun at all! ”

Hearing this, the corners of Liu Bei's mouth turned up slightly, looked at the handsome tent that came in and out not far away, and said softly, "Don't worry, with Yuan Shao here, he won't let Long Jun trouble us." Don't forget the relationship between Cao Cao and Long Jun, after Lu Bu is defeated, the battle in the north is among us, Yuan Shao and Long Jun border, Cao Cao will inevitably help Guanzhong. If Yuan Shao takes our Qingzhou before this, it's fine, if he can't take it, it will cause a tripartite attack on Yuan. Therefore, in order to be safe, Yuan Shao will definitely try to make my Qingxu Alliance. ”

"I see!" After Liu Bei's analysis, Guan Yu nodded slowly. As long as the hostile relationship between Yuan Shao and Long Jun is maintained, then Qingzhou will already be out of the way and fish in troubled waters.

Seeing this, Liu Bei patted his second brother's shoulder and smiled slightly, this kind of deceitful political relationship, apart from him, I am afraid that only Jian Yong in Qingzhou can keep up with his train of thought. If it weren't for the offensive in Jizhou during this period of time, which made people panic in Qingzhou, Liu Bei would not have told his thoughts and thoughts. In his heart, he cared very much about the two sworn brothers, and did not want them to be involved in the political whirlpool at all, in case the three of them parted ways because of this kind of problem in the future.

A moment later, a graceful scribe walked out of Yuan Shaoshuai's tent, and when he saw Liu's back, he smiled slightly, and then made a gesture of please. Liu Bei saw the big stone in his heart fall abruptly, and after softly explaining a few words to the people behind him, he walked out leisurely in the direction of the scribe.

Liu Yuanjun is worthy of being a figure who has fought with the Marquis of Zhenbei, and he is deeply admired. Please, my lord has something important to discuss with Liu Yuanjun. After speaking, the scribe turned around and left, and Liu Bei's eyebrows jumped at the corners of his eyes. The other party seems to be praising himself, but that disdainful expression and prickly words are enough to see his status in the other party's heart. With a sneer, Liu Bei flicked his sleeves, and then strode towards the account.

In fact, Yuan Shao is naturally clear about Liu Bei's methods, but there is one thing Liu Bei is right, that is, they have irresolvable grievances with Long Jun, and the enemy of the enemy is equal to a friend. Although he also has a dispute with Liu Bei, the battle of the general trend in the world is the kind of simple combination of interests. So the two discussed in the tent for a long time, and when Liu Bei came out, with an inscrutable smile on his face, Guan Yu and his party looked at each other.

On the second day, the coalition forces launched a fierce attack on Tianjing Pass. However, the eight paths of Taixing, all of them are dangerous places, one husband is the pass, with the disadvantage of the terrain, the coalition army has been defeated in successive battles, if it is not getting late, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will not let go of the Tianjing Pass. The coalition forces withdrew, and the state army cheered. Contrary to the soldiers, looking at the endless battalions outside the pass, Lu Bu, who had just repelled Yan Liang and Wen Chou, did not have such a good attitude.

"I have never seen Yuan Shao so radical, so he sent Yan Liang and Wen Chou out on the first day. Wentai, did you say something happened to Yuan Shao? That's why you're so impatient? Tapping the female wall in front of him, Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Chen Gong with a sad expression. Don't look at him as having the courage of ten thousand people, but in today's battle, he obviously felt that the morale of the army had declined, otherwise how could the Tianjing Pass, which has such a unique advantage, let the other party touch the city.

Facing Lu Bu's inquiry, Chen Gong's tired face showed a slight thoughtfulness. Then he walked in front of Lu Bu, stared at the coalition camp not far away, shook his head, and replied in a deep voice, "It's not easy to guess, it's not easy to guess!" However, according to the spies, Liu Bei had arrived at Yuan Shao's camp five days ago. I think this may be related to Liu Bei, but what it is depends on the offensive in the next few days to analyze. In short, the gathering of these two people who have grievances with Zhenbei Hou is not necessarily a bad thing for us. ”

"Do you suspect that Yuan Shao and Liu Bei secretly reached a consensus with the intention of targeting Long Jun?" Although Chen Gong did not give himself a detailed answer, he could still hear from Chen Gong's words that this matter was related to Long Jun. But since they have a grudge with Long Jun, why are they so crazy about Bingzhou? Could it be that if you kill him, Lu Bu can still fight Long Jun? With this fucking thought, Lu Bu looked at the coalition camp again, his eyes full of murderous intent.

The next day, the coalition forces did not attack. Instead, they sent a number of soldiers to cut down trees along the roads between the valleys, as if preparing siege engines. However, as far as Lu Bu knew, the Jizhou army did not lack siege equipment, and the Yanzhou army had thunderbolts with great lethality. At the beginning, the Tiger Prison Pass was broken, but it was the thunderbolt car that violently chiseled down the mountain walls on both sides of the checkpoint, and finally the boulder rolled down and smashed the defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass.

"Send a scout to see what the other side is up to. If they want to draw a gourd in the same way and break through our Tianjing Pass, they will immediately send the dead to attack the opponent's thunderbolt car at night. Fearing a repeat of the mistake of the Tiger Pass, Lü Bu brazenly ordered the scouts to dispatch and drove the dead out of the city, preparing to attack the opponent's position.

However, the scouts of the state army went out to investigate for an hour, but found nothing. So Lu Bu ordered a thousand dead soldiers to hunt down and kill the opponent's army out of the camp, in order to force out the opponent's purpose. It's a pity that these 1,000 soldiers of the Bingzhou Army intercepted and killed several waves of coalition soldiers in a row, and the coalition battalion did not react, but instead made the generals of the Bingzhou Army look nervous, for fear that the other party was planning some terrible strategy.

In this way, another five days passed, and the two sides were surprisingly quiet in front of the patio pass. In this calm situation, Lu Bu always felt that the other party was plotting some turbulent waves. However, in the past five days, the dead soldiers have been dispatched one after another, but they have not received any useful clues. In desperation, Lu Bu could only wait for the other party to use his means as Chen Gong advised.

Seeing that although Lu Bu responded to his own persuasion, his face was sad, and Chen Gong was also afraid that it would affect the morale of the army, so he chuckled and said, "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the other party will not reveal the purpose, our army will rush out, but it will create opportunities for the other party." However, if the lord is too worried about what the other party is doing secretly, he might as well let General Cao Xuan attack the camp at night to see what the other party is doing, as long as he grasps the proportions, there should be no big deal. ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he looked overjoyed, he could choke him enough in the past few days, so he was overjoyed and said, "Okay, I'll send Cao Xing to sneak attack." ”
