Chapter 217: Cao Cao stationed in Wancheng
The strength of Lu Bu is actually a good thing for Yuan Shu, the key is that the two sides must maintain the relationship of alliance, in this way, Lu Bu will form a mortal threat to Yuan Shao, just imagine, when Gongsun Zan sent troops to attack Jizhou, Lu Bu's army crossed the Yellow River from Baima, and the threat would be the safety of Jizhou.
At that time, even if Yuan Shao has the ability to reach the sky, will he still be able to stop the army of Lu Bu and Gongsun Zhan.
"Hmph, that Lu Bu is also a villain, knowing that Benhou and Yuan Benchu have a bad relationship, he actually has a relationship with Yuan Benchu." Yuan Shu snorted coldly.
Seeing that Yuan Shu's anger had calmed down a little, Yang Hong said: "Lord, Lu Bu and Yuan Shao have dealings, it is for the sake of interests, as expected, this time Yuan Shao sent an envoy to Xuzhou, it must be for the sake of refining the blade, as long as the lord destroys it, it will not only break the relationship between the two, but also make Yuan Shao angry with Lu Bu." β
"Come on." Yuan Shu's face was excited.
Although he is quite dissatisfied with Lu Bu, Yuan Shu also understands the importance of Lu Bu, after getting Lu Bu's support, many of his goals can be easily achieved, if Lu Bu is handed over to Yuan Shao, he will have a lot of trouble, at least for the time being, he must maintain a good relationship with Lu Bu, as long as Gongsun Zhan eliminates Yuan Shao, it is not too late for him to make a move on Lu Bu.
"The lord can send someone to Pengcheng and secretly persuade Wen Hou ......" Yang Hong stepped forward and whispered.
Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said: "Changshi's words are very true, and this matter will be handed over to Changshi to be responsible." β
"Whoa." Yang Hong arched his hand.
"What happened to Sun Ce after he borrowed the soldiers and horses from Ben Hou?" Yuan Shu asked.
Jiangdong County, also belongs to Yangzhou, but Jiangdong County, there is a lot of turmoil, officials support the army and self-respect of the situation abounds, Sun Ce is a Jiangdong person, borrowed troops to return to Jiangdong, Yuan Shu just with the help of Sun Ce's hand to pacify Jiangdong County, when the time, Yuan Shu's strength will be further strengthened.
The chief bookkeeper Yan Xiang said: "My lord, Sun Ce is fighting in Jiangdong, judging from the news that comes, Sun Ce has won successive battles, which has put everyone in Jiangdong in danger." β
"Yes, Lu Bu thinks that after occupying most of Xuzhou and Yanzhou, he will be able to compete with Ben Hou, and when the time comes, Ben Hou will let Lu Bu understand what it means to perish." Yuan Shu said compassionately.
Yuan Shu's subordinate Anu Yuan, but there is no good impression of Lu Bu, when Yuan Shu stood up to support Lu Bu, there were many officials who opposed it, Lu Bu was a traitor of the Han Dynasty, and supported Lu Bu, which would have a certain impact on Yuan Shu's reputation, but at that time, contacting Lu Bu did have practical benefits, and it was more helpful for Yuan Shu to drive Liu Dai out of Yanzhou.
However, what happened next was beyond Yuan Shu's control, and LΓΌ Bu led the Xuzhou army to great success, which the princes did not dare to despise.
This is also the most depressed place for Yuan Shu to recall the past, how much he wants to train Lu Bu to be a thug like Sun Jian, as long as one of his orders is issued, he must act according to the order, it turns out that from the beginning, Yuan Shu was difficult to contain Lu Bu.
Sun Jian obeyed the order, because Sun Jian's grain and grass were heavily consumed, and a lot of them needed to be taken from Yuan Shu's hands, after Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou, at this point, there was no more interaction with Yuan Shu, and it was a completely independent existence.
Now that Lu Bu has grown to the point where Yuan Shu has to pay attention to it, what kind of result will happen if he continues to let the situation develop, Yuan Shao is already taking action, if Yuan Shao pulls Lu Bu away from the camp, it will be Yuan Shao's strength that will grow.
No one is sure what kind of thing Lu Bu will do.
Yuan Shu approached the relationship between Yuan Shao and Lu Bu, secretly planned and adopted measures.
Such confidential matters are naturally not something that can be found out by meticulous work, but even after Lu Bu knows about it, he will not mind, at present, he and Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are all using each other.
"How's Cao Cao's situation?" Lu Bu asked suddenly.
Jia Xu said: "Lord, after Cao Cao led his troops to leave Dongjun, he attached himself to Liu Biao, and now he leads the army to be stationed in Wancheng. β
"Liu Biao is willing." Lu Bu said with a smile.
"Although Wancheng is rich, there are many yellow turban disasters, Liu Biao's control over this place is very weak, and Wancheng is close to Yuan Shu, the relationship between Liu Biao and Yuan Shu is not very good, so Cao Cao is stationed in Wancheng, and it is also the intention of using Cao Cao to protect Jingzhou." Jia Xu analyzed.
Lu Budao: "I'm afraid that Liu Biao's goal was not achieved, but he took Jingzhou away for Cao Cao." β
"Lord, Liu Biao is also a person with means, and he will definitely take more precautions against Cao Cao." Jia Xu said.
Although Cao Cao's ability in Yanzhou was not ordinary, it was short-lived after all, but within a few months, the responsible Yanzhou was broken by Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, panicking like a lost dog, and his actions before leaving Dongjun, although he was shrewd, still lost the last city, and could only rely on others.
For a failed prince like Cao Cao, Liu Biao will definitely be on guard.
In other words, Cao Cao wanted to achieve greater development in Jingzhou, and there were many difficulties.
Jingzhou is far away from Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and Jia Xu doesn't understand why Lu Bu is so interested in Cao Cao.
"My lord, a thousand hundred refining blades have been sent to the city." Mi Zhu walked into the hall and arched.
Lu Bu asked, "But what kind of refining blades does Yuan Shu need?" β
"Exactly." Mi Zhu said.
"After Yuan Shu transports the materials to Changyi and inspects them, he will deliver the blade to Yuan Shu." Lu Bu admonished.
"Humble duty understands." Mi Zhu arched his hand.
Guo Jia frowned slightly and said: "Wen Hou, the original sale of the hundred refining blades to Yuan Shu was to prevent Yuan Shu from having more battles with our army, and now that Yuan Shao has sent a messenger here, Yuan Shu must be jealous of Wen Hou, if Yuan Shu needs more blades in the future, Wen Hou should be cautious." β
"Yuan Shu was dissatisfied with Wenhou, and when he was in Yanzhou, a conflict broke out between the armies of the two sides."
Lu Budao: "Feng Xiao reminds that Yuan Shu can get a thousand hundred refining blades this time, but it will be difficult to buy them from Ben Hou." β
"The matter of the lord selling the hundred refining blades has attracted the attention of the princes of the world, and there will definitely be more princes who will send envoys to buy the blades at that time, and after the strength of the princes grows, there will not be much benefit to the lord." Jia Xu said.
Lu Bu pondered for a while, and then understood the meaning of Jia Xu's words, his reputation among the princes decided that as long as the princes have the corresponding strength, what they want to do is definitely to crusade against him, at present, he is strong, and the princes are busy with their own affairs, and they don't have more energy to care about the affairs of Xuzhou and Yanzhou.
