Chapter 72: Betrayal, Xuzhou Shakes
The victory or defeat on the battlefield has a certain relationship with the bravery of the generals, and whether the rule is stable also occupies a key factor.
Yuan Shao even saw the disintegrating side of Xuzhou.
Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai and Dongjun Taishou Cao Cao, for Yuan Shao is supportive, Liu Dai and Cao Cao's growth, is also what Yuan Shao wants to see, he is the lord of the princes' alliance, the princes of the world obey his orders, it is also reasonable, he said that Lu Bu's Xuzhou Mu is reasonable, Lu Bu is legitimate.
Yuan Shao has fame and power, and he needs the princes of the world not to dare to disobey his orders.
At this time, Yuan Shu stood up and openly opposed it, which was to question the authority of the princes.
Compared with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao has a better reputation among the princes, Yuan Shu acted arbitrarily in Luoyang when he was young, and even had the saying of Yuan Changshui, a ghost in the road, after Dong Zhuo controlled the court, Yuan Shao dared to openly stand up against Dong Zhuo under a great threat, Yuan Shu just ran back to Nanyang's hometown.
The rise of Yuan Shao is favored by the scholars, but the influence of Yuan Shu should not be underestimated.
Xuzhou Mu Lu Bu was supported by Yuan Shu, and it seems to be a battle between Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Lu Bu, but it is not a confrontation between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
Sun Jian's death, in Yuan Shao's opinion, is a good time to reverse the situation, and further suppress Yuan Shu, he will become the uncrowned king among the princes.
The Xuzhou army was dispatched, and the officials in Xuzhou would inevitably breed other ideas, Lu Bu wanted to make a difference in Xuzhou, but it was too difficult in the eyes of the scholars in Xuzhou, even if Lu Bu entered Xuzhou, it was far from enough to win over the Mi family for his use.
On the fifth day of the Xuzhou army's dispatch, Zhang Chao, the Taishou of Guangling, announced in public that he would not recognize Lü Bu's status in Xuzhou, and sent his general Zhu Mao to lead an army of 2,000 to attack Lü Bu.
Qin Si, the prime minister of the Xia Pi Kingdom, responded and sent 2,000 troops to attack Pengcheng.
Guangling County and Xiapi State are an important part of Xuzhou, and now the officials of Guangling and Xiapi have openly stood up against Lü Bu, which is of great significance as can be imagined.
The armies of the two places were united, and they came towards Pengcheng, and for a while, Xuzhou shook.
At this time, at the critical moment when the Xuzhou army fought against the Yanzhou army and the Qingzhou army, although the defenders of Pengcheng had 3,000 people, who could be sure that no one opposed Lu Bu's rule in secret.
Jia Xu's so-called slight trick was to suppress the news of the victory of the Xuzhou army on the battlefield and not send it back to Xuzhou.
When someone with a heart in Xuzhou learned that Lu Bu led the army and had already started a confrontation with the Yanzhou army, how could they give up such a good opportunity.
And in Lu Bu's hands, there is indeed something that makes the Xuzhou family blush, the fairy jade of Pengcheng, but it has made a lot of profits for Lu Bu, relying on the fairy jade, so that Lu Bu has earned a lot of money, and even the status of the Xuzhou Mi family has improved a lot.
After the betrayal of Xiapi and Guangling, Pengcheng did not make any other moves except to strengthen the defense, and the defense at the city gate was tighter than before.
Just when Xiapi and Guangling betrayed Lü Bu, Chen Jue, the prime minister of Peiguo, announced that he would defect to Lü Bu and rebel against Liu Dai.
When this news came, Xuzhou shook again.
Chen Jue represents the Chen family in Xuzhou, in Xuzhou, the influence of the Chen family is not to be underestimated, not the Mi family from business can be compared, the support of the Chen family will make the situation in Xuzhou more confusing.
The news kept coming, Lu Bu's mood was not as dignified as outsiders imagined, Xuzhou secretly had officials who opposed it, this is a normal thing, if the officials in Xuzhou are all obedient to his words and support, it is the strangest thing.
When any official governs the locality, he will inevitably violate the interests of some families.
When Lu Bu entered Xuzhou, he took a strong attitude and treated those who resisted with drastic means, and stabilized Xuzhou in a short period of time.
"The Chen family and the Mi family in Xuzhou support the general, and the general will be worry-free, as for Zhang Chao and Qin Si, they are just clowns who jump off the beam, and it is difficult to make a big deal, and after the general defeats the Yanzhou army, it is not too late to clean up the two." Lu Budao.
Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "Wen Hou's words are reasonable, but I have to guard against them. ”
The attitude of the Chen family in Xuzhou at this time is indeed a bit unexpected by Jia Xu, Pei Xiang Chen Jue, for the head of the Chen family, the Chen family in Xuzhou can be said to be a tree with deep roots, Tao Qian was in Xuzhou, and the Chen family was also polite.
"The Chen family is smart, they know that the general's means will not be these, if they betray the general, the Chen family will be the first to suffer the catastrophe." Lu Budao.
The Chen family has a lot of influence in Xuzhou, what can it be, Lu Bu is in charge of the army, as long as Lu Bu gives an order, he can make the family that has lasted for hundreds of years hurt his muscles and bones, and put it on other monarchs, he may not have such a move, Lu Bu does not have so many scruples.
"Now that the enemy hidden in Xuzhou has come out, even if Wen Hou wants to fight a decisive battle with the Yanzhou army at this time, Liu Dai may not agree." Jia Xu said.
"What is Wenhe's opinion?"
Jia Xu said: "The prestige of Wenhou made the Yanzhou army shake up and down, and it must not dare to fight easily, and the troops did not move, but to wait for the change of the situation in Xuzhou. ”
"The Yanzhou army did not dare to move, why didn't Wen Hou order his generals to lead the troops to Linchangyi, which shook Yanzhou, and Wen Hou secretly sent cavalry to Pengcheng to break the army of Guangling and Xiapi with lightning speed, and Xuzhou was stable."
"Wenhe's plan is very good, and he ordered Cao Xing to come." Lu Bu laughed.
After a while, Cao Xing rode his horse to the Chinese army, handed over the war horse to the soldiers outside the tent, and walked quickly into the big tent.
"General." Cao Xing hugged his fists.
Looking at Cao Xing, whose eyes were blazing, Lu Bu smiled and said, "How are you in the army lately?" ”
"General Qiqi, the officers and men in the army train hard every day, just waiting for the general's orders." Cao Xingdao.
Lu Budao: "Let General Cao come just for the sake of the war. ”
Hearing this, Cao Xing smiled, as a fierce general under Wen Hou's tent, how could he be afraid of war, what they pursued was to follow Lu Bu behind him to fight on the battlefield, so that the enemy army could feel fear.
"The general has an order, and the general will never give up." Cao Xing hugged his fists.
"The army of Xiapi and Guangling betrayed and is marching towards Pengcheng, the situation in Xuzhou is extremely unfavorable for our army, the general ordered you to lead a thousand cavalry to Changyi, then Liu Dai tried to confuse our army through the army of Xiapi and Guangling, and the general let Liu Dai have no time to take care of himself." Lu Budao.
