"Oh, yes, yes, how did I forget that. Hehe, in that case, General Ben must not stand idly by! Come, come, let's discuss how to work together to annihilate the Cao army in one fell swoop......"

With Yuan Shu's cooperation, the three of them discussed the plan much more smoothly.

In less than half an hour, the final attack plan was formed:

The first step was to divide Yuan Shu's forces in two:

50,000 attacked Chenliu, and 50,000 stayed behind to defend the important place.

This move was not really to Yuan Shu to capture Chen Liu, but to force Xuchang to divide troops to rescue Chen Liu, so as to reduce the number of defenders in Xuchang.

As for the remaining 50,000 soldiers, they continued to stay in the plains east of Chenliu to prevent Cao Cao from fleeing to Yanzhou.

The second step is to make a decision according to Cao Jun's movements:

If Cao Cao sent troops to rescue Chen Liu, Er Yuan would follow the previous plan and conquer one city by himself, and there was no need to make further adjustments;

However, if Cao Cao hadn't sent troops to Chenliu, then Yuan Shu would not have had to continue to put pressure on an empty city.

It is better to transfer these 50,000 troops to Xuchang and attack the city with Yuan Shao.

In this way, it can not only speed up the progress of the siege, but also help Yuan Shao relieve pressure, and at the same time give Yuan Shu the opportunity to kill the enemy and make contributions, which can be regarded as a good strategy to kill three birds with one stone.

Now that the final plan has been finalized, today's meeting has come to an end.

According to Lu Pu's meaning, they would have had a dinner party after the meeting.

However, because the two Yuan did not like each other, they rejected Lu Pu's kindness.

As soon as the meeting ended, one to the east and the other to the west, each led the team out of Dama Township.

……

After sending Er Yuan away, only Hua and Lu were left in the house.

Since there are no outsiders, Lu Pu no longer has to pretend, and both his name and expression have returned to normal.

"Alas! These two guys are really hard to serve. is born from the same root, but it has to be incompatible, and I am not even happy to have a meal together. Hehe, brother thinks like this, it's really enough! ”

After shaking his head and sighing, he saw Lu Pu take the initiative to pour a glass of water and wine for Huaxing, and pointed to a table of dishes and said:

"They don't eat pull-down, these delicious foods can be enjoyed by our brothers! Team Hua, you try this first, this is my hand-fried steak, guaranteed to be delicious! ”

Not to mention, after this period of "exercise", Lump's skill in frying steak is really getting better and better.

Huaxing ate three pieces in a row before finally putting down the tableware. While wiping the corners of his mouth, he praised from the heart:

"That's good! This is definitely the best steak I've had in the last year or two! Hehe, I said Lu Pu, have you ever been abroad before? ”

Hearing the word "foreign", Lu Pu subconsciously tightened his heart, and replied cautiously:

"No, no! I've been in the army, how can I go abroad? ”

"Really?" Hua Xing said with a smile of disbelief:

"Hehe, why is your steak so good? Even if you are a cook in the army, you can't do this, right? ”

"Oh, you mean that?"

Hearing that the other party was talking about steak, Lu Pucai breathed a sigh of relief and explained with a smile:

"That's because...... I love steak so much that I often cook it myself. As you do it, you become an 'expert' if you are not careful. ”

After shaking his head and chuckling, in order to prevent Huaxing from continuing to ask, Lu Pu quickly diverted the topic:

"By the way, Team Hua, do you have any comments on the plan just formulated? I don't think you've been talking much. ”

"Oh, I'm just a 'spy' in charge of intelligence, and it's not appropriate to talk too much, so I don't open my mouth much. As for the offensive plan...... Reasonable, I don't have any opinion. ”

After nodding with satisfaction, he listened to Huaxing's voice and said:

"By the way, then again, didn't the Yuan brothers turn against each other earlier? How did you convince them to send an army together? ”

Hearing Hua Xing ask about this, Lu Pu first poured himself a cup with a proud face, and then spoke:

Both of them are extremely ambitious people, and although they don't like each other, they don't have an irresolvable deep hatred. So, as long as there is enough interest temptation, it is easy to persuade. Two months ago, I promised them only two benefits, and they agreed to send troops. ”

"Oh? What are the two points? ”

"First, whoever sends troops to fight Cao, regardless of success or failure, I will give ten thousand taels of silver; Second, I will bear all the grain and grass for this expedition. In addition, there was also the temptation of Cao Cao's territory, the two of them only thought about it for one night, and agreed to it early the next morning. ”

"Hehe, fight a war, someone gives money, someone gives food, and the city takes it! If this kind of good thing were me, I'm afraid it's hard to refuse? As soon as the richest man in Luoyang made a move, it was really extraordinary! ”

Of course, Hua Xing guessed that in addition to the three points that Lu Pu said, the "accomplices" hidden in Eryuan's forces must have also helped him say a lot of good things, so he was able to promote this matter so quickly.

But in front of the other party, Hua Xing will not say anything directly, but just pretends to admire, and repeatedly boasts of Lu Pu's "clever plan".

"Huh? By the way, then they don't doubt your motives? It didn't take long for Hua Xing to suddenly open his mouth and ask again.

"Absolutely! These two old foxes are more cunning than the other, or if they don't explain their motives clearly, they won't join the gang! ”

"Hehe, then how did you fool them?" Hua Xing asked with a smile.

"I told them that I have an enmity with Cao Cao! Back then, he killed my father with his own hands, so even if the family goes bankrupt, I will destroy him! Hearing me say this, Er Yuan didn't ask any more questions, and went back to prepare after receiving the money. ”

The reason why Huaxing explored the reason why the two Yuan joined forces was actually to see if there were any flaws to be found.

If you can repel the enemy army by persuasion or discord without spending a single soldier, it will definitely be the best strategy.

But judging from the current situation, whether it is temptation or reason, Lu Pu has given it very fully and without any flaws.

So it seems unlikely that they want to "persuade" these two people to withdraw from the army.

"Huh? That's right. ”

After about seven or eight seconds of silence, Hua Xing asked seemingly casually while holding the dishes:

"In addition to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, do we have any other allies?"

As early as when he was in Yuanyuan Village, Huaxing noticed that one of the seven people who participated in the Xingyang secret meeting was still missing.

In order to find out the movements of this person, Huaxing took the opportunity to probe Lu Pu's tone.

"Other allies?"

As soon as these words came out, I saw Lu Pu's eyes narrowing slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his mind:

"Why did the Chinese team ask this question? Could it be that the two Yuan joined forces, wasn't it enough to take down Cao Cao? ”

"Enough...... Enough for sure! ”。

After hearing this, Hua Xing was still holding the dishes, his eyes always looked at the dishes, and he didn't even look at each other:

"But in your style, you shouldn't just look for two, right? If someone refuses, or quits halfway, isn't it in vain? Anyway, you have to have a replacement, right? ”
