Chapter 248: How could Ben Hou be afraid?
Yuan Shu made up his mind, and the four of them would try their best to give Yuan Shu an advantage in this battle.
In May, the frequent movement of the Yangzhou army attracted the attention of Xuzhou and Yanzhou, and the soldiers and horses of Chenliu County and Jiyin County increased to 5,000 respectively, and in ordinary times, the soldiers and horses of Chenliu County and Jiyin County were about 3,000.
The same is true of the troop movements in Yuzhou.
Pengcheng, in the Prefecture Governor's Mansion, after listening to Jia Xu's report, Lu Bu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt the smell of conspiracy from the mobilization of the army under Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu is strong, and he has a very high status among the princes, and among the current princes, even Yuan Shao is difficult to form a confrontation with Yuan Shu, otherwise, Yuan Shao still has to send envoys to Pengcheng many times.
"What does Bonghyo think about this matter?" Lu Bu set his sights on Guo Jia.
Guo Jia pondered for a moment and arched his hand: "Lord, in my humble opinion, this is Yuan Shu's desire to attack Xuzhou. β
"And why?" Lu Bu asked.
Guo Jiadao: "Yuan Shu added soldiers and horses in the Yanzhou army, and did not mobilize a large number of soldiers and horses to Yanzhou, which is exactly to want to fight openly with the lord, worried that Chenliu County and Jiyin County will take the opportunity to seize the lord, Yuzhou soldiers and horses are the most frequently transferred, from the news from the details, Yuan Shu is planning to attack Pengcheng directly." β
Lu Bu sneered: "The soldiers and horses that can be mobilized in Yuan Shu's hands are only more than 100,000 people, and there are tens of thousands of elites under Benhou's command, if he wants to break through Pengcheng, how can it be as simple as he imagined." β
"My lord, Yuan Shu is powerful, and the Yuan family has a lot of influence among the wealthy families, if a protracted war breaks out between the two sides, Xuzhou will inevitably be greatly affected." Guo Jiadao.
"There is a certain truth in Fengxiao's words, Yuan Shu wants to compete with Ben Hou, how can Ben Hou be afraid." Lu Budao.
Jia Xu got up and said: "I think that at present, I am mainly secretly investigating the forces in Xuzhou to support Yuan Shu, and pay close attention to the situation in Xuzhou and Yanzhou. β
Lu Bu nodded and agreed.
Then the two made a detailed analysis of what might happen.
If Yuan Shu wants to mobilize troops, what a great turmoil will be caused to Xuzhou, and how many people will lose their lives because of the war.
The Xuzhou army has a reason to have to fight, as Guo Jia and Jia Xu analyzed, many officials in Xuzhou will secretly take refuge in Yuan Shu, although the craftsman workshop outside the city, although it is built in the mountains, if Yuan Shu is attacked, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Yuan Shu wants to drive Ben Hou out of Xuzhou, and Ben Hou also wants to take Yuzhou from Yuan Shu's hands, in this way, who can threaten the safety of Peng Cheng." Lu Bu said with a smile: "With Wenhe and Fengxiao making suggestions, Benhou is already invincible." β
Guo Jia and Jia Xu didn't dare to say that the two of them could feel the admiration in Lu Bu's words, but in front of the monarch, it was absolutely important to maintain the necessary modesty and prudence.
When the merits of the courtiers under the rule exceed that of the monarch, it may be a disaster for the courtiers.
Many literati have the Han dynasty in their hearts, and they want to change the status quo of the Han Dynasty through their own efforts, so that the Han Dynasty can prosper.
"Pay close attention to the movements of Yangzhou and Yuzhou, and inform Benhou immediately if there is an emergency." Lu Budao.
After Jia Xu and Guo Jia said goodbye and left, they were also a little excited in their hearts, this time the Xuzhou army faced the Huainan army, which is known as the elite division, after success, Lu Bu's strength will be further strengthened, and after the monarch has more power, it will attract the dedication of the family under his rule.
Interests, will be the monarch and the family of the family closely linked, sometimes, not some families are unwilling to cooperate with the monarch, but from the monarch, they do not feel the power that can make the family get greater development, if you want to better convince, you must have the corresponding strength.
From a brave and warlike warrior to a prince who holds a lot of power, Lu Bu gradually understood the truth.
Xuzhou and Yanzhou are in full swing of preparations, but the soldiers and horses of Yanzhou and Xuzhou have not been mobilized a lot, Pengcheng and Changyi, both have 30,000 soldiers and horses, these are the most elite existence in the armies of the two states, and if there is a war, they will go to the battlefield to fight the enemy without hesitation.
Responding to change with the same is one of the strategies adopted by Lu Bu.
If it is possible, Lu Bu is not willing to turn his face with Yuan Shu at this time, Yanzhou and Xuzhou are developing steadily, Lu Bu's strength is strong, there are more families to choose to rely on, relying on the strength of these families, Lu Bu can gradually develop his strength, and Yanzhou and Xuzhou will be more stable.
The occurrence of the war, not only the bloody sacrifice of the soldiers in the army, but also means the turmoil of the city, Pengcheng is the state of Xuzhou, but also the most core place under the rule of Lu Bu, the geographical location of Pengcheng is determined, after Yuan Shu has other thoughts, Pengcheng will definitely experience turmoil.
However, when the war comes, Lu Bu will not have the slightest fear, raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, and strictly requiring officers and soldiers in ordinary training, how can it not be to prepare for the war that may break out in the future.
According to Jia Xu and Guo Jia's analysis, Yuan Shu's methods will definitely not be as simple as attacking Xuzhou on the surface.
Moreover, the assassins of the Black Pavilion who were active in Pengcheng before may have a certain relationship with Yuan Shu, as the overlord of the lords of the princes, Yuan Shu must have wanted to plan Xuzhou, and when Lu Bu entered Xuzhou, it greatly affected Yuan Shu's plan.
Tao Qian was in charge of Xuzhou, and Lu Bu controlled Xuzhou, but there was a big difference, even if Tao Qian was on Yuan Shao's side, he did not dare to mobilize the army to attack Yuan Shu at will.
If it was Lu Bu, the situation would be very different, Lu Bu was a military general, with a tough personality, and after the loss of interests, it was very possible to mobilize the army.
As long as LΓΌ Bu is eradicated, Xuzhou will be in turmoil, even Yanzhou.
Otherwise, how to explain that after the assassins of the Black Pavilion acted in Pengcheng, Lei Bo would lead a large army to raid Pengcheng.
In the dark, the princes will definitely have other means to help the monarch solve some things that cannot be done on the surface.
The power of the Black Pavilion is very strong, it is impossible to prevent it, after the assassination of the assassins of the Black Pavilion, Lu Bu has changed a lot of people in the house, even so, it is difficult to really prevent the assassins of the Black Pavilion from taking action.
Blind defense is not Lu Bu's character, try to find out the strength of the Black Pavilion, and give the Black Pavilion a head-on blow, it is very necessary, only by making the enemies hidden in the shadows feel fearful, they can have more awe.
