Chapter 173: Yuan Shu Messenger
Yang Hong sighed secretly, no longer persuading, Yuan Shu's mind had been placed on Changyi, if it was Yuan Shu who captured Changyi this time, Yuan Shu might have completely driven Cao Cao out of Yanzhou.
Lu Bu's actions on the battlefield in Yanzhou made Yang Hong faintly uneasy, Lu Bu is a military general, why is he scheming on the battlefield in Yanzhou.
"The lord must not underestimate Lu Buye." Yang Hong said in a low voice.
Yuan Shu was dissatisfied: "Could it be that in the eyes of Changshi, Benhou is no more than a mere martial artist?" β
"Lu Bu led the Xuzhou army to the Yanzhou battlefield, and once Cao Cao lost his troops and generals, and there must be wise people under his command to help."
Yuan Shu said: "It's just some luck, if Cao Ren Xiao'er dares to go out of the city and fight to the death with Ben Hou, Ben Hou will already capture Dingtao." β
After occupying Changyi, LΓΌ Bu listened to Chen Gong's suggestion and ordered all the counties and counties of Yanzhou with the Great Seal of the State Mu, and for a time the counties of Shanyang County rushed to take refuge, and even the state governance fell into the hands of LΓΌ Bu.
The continuous good news came, which made Lu Bu overjoyed, originally thought that there would be a lot of trouble in pacifying Yanzhou County, but he didn't expect the officials of various counties to be so knowledgeable, and after seeing the strength of the Xuzhou Army, he directly chose to take refuge.
It is naturally best to be able to use soldiers and horses without using them.
Yanzhou has gone through a lot of turmoil, although Cao Cao defeated the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, there are still a lot of Yellow Turbans flowing in Yanzhou, these are all things that need to be solved, after stabilizing Yanzhou, Lu Bu's strength can be greatly improved, but before that, it takes a lot of energy.
Don't say anything else, just in Changyi, there are more than 10,000 Yellow Turban captives.
These Yellow Turban captives were actually an important basis for Cao Cao's fight against the Xuzhou army and Yuan Shu in Yanzhou, and Cao Cao's strategy to stabilize Yanzhou was clever.
Once Cao Cao succeeds, the situation in Yanzhou may soon be stabilized by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao, who occupies the land of Yanzhou, will become a huge threat at that time.
Today, this threat has been eliminated.
"Lord, the scout has news that after Cao Cao withdrew his army, he returned to Dongjun, and there is a great tendency to use Dongjun as the foundation to fight against our army." Chen Gongdao.
Lu Bu nodded and said, "After understanding the matter with Yuan Shu, Ben Hou will clean up Cao Cao." β
"Wenhou, Yuan Shuxing came with tens of thousands of soldiers, Yu Dingtao lost his troops, but now he has captured Dingtao for the Xuzhou army, Yuan Shu is embarrassed, maybe he will send troops to attack Changyi." Guo Jiadao.
Cao Xuan shouted: "The elite of the Xuzhou army, why not be afraid of Yuan Shu." β
The victory on the battlefield of Yanzhou has made the morale of the Xuzhou army unprecedentedly high, whether it is a recruit or a veteran, what they need is the encouragement of victory, and the measures of the Xuzhou army in terms of rewards and punishments make the soldiers in the army unable to find faults.
Winning will make them more excited, and they need more wins.
The generals in the army were filled with righteous indignation, and they sent troops to meet Yuan Shu.
Lu Bu waved his hand and said: "Yuan Shu is strong, and now he has sent Lei Bo and Chen Lan to garrison Peiguo, which has the intention of threatening Pengcheng, and if our army starts a war with Yuan Shu, wouldn't it be a joke for the princes of the world." β
Guo Jia and Chen Gong nodded secretly when they heard this, Lu Bu did not get carried away when he won the battle of Yanzhou, Yuan Shu was strong, if he had a stalemate with Yuan Shu at this time, it would not be of the slightest benefit to Lu Bu.
With the influence of the Yuan family, once Lu Bu is at a disadvantage in the battle, it is very likely to bring about a rebellion by Yanzhou officials.
It is most appropriate to appease Yuan Shu as much as possible.
"However, if Yuan Shu attacks Benhou, the Xuzhou army under Benhou will not be afraid." Lu Bu said in a deep voice.
The generals in the field were shocked when they heard this, this is their general, and they have never been afraid of war.
"Wen Hou, the scout has sent news that Yuan Shu has sent a messenger, and it is only more than ten miles away from Changyi." After Guo Jia got the news, he hurriedly reported.
Lu Budao: "The matter of receiving Yuan Shu's envoy will be handed over to Feng Xiao to deal with, if Yuan Shu has an excessive request, there is no need to agree, but at present, Cao Cao occupies Dongjun, and Yuan Shu can be guided to attack Dongjun." β
"Humble duty understands." Guo Jia arched his hand.
Changyi and even the entire Yanzhou, the war stopped on the surface, but in fact, the people were panicking, they didn't know what would happen next, it seemed that Lu Bu had taken a big advantage in this battle, would Yuan Shu agree.
Lu Bu fought on the battlefield, with a great reputation, Yuan Shu is not an easy person, the children of the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, when the most powerful princes today, once the two start a war, Yanzhou will definitely fall into the war again, and the war is also a big challenge for the Yanzhou family, in such a confrontation, failed to have the right choice, in exchange for the decline of the family, any official, do not want the family to decline.
The city is turbulent, the war is repeated, the impact on the family is great, only the city is stable, the family can develop calmly, Yanzhou has experienced too much turmoil, if it can be stabilized in the hands of Lu Bu or Yuan Shu, it is also a good thing for the family.
It's just that compared to Lu Bu, they are more inclined to take refuge in Yuan Shu.
At the beginning, Lu Bu entered Xuzhou with a strong attitude, and successive victories allowed Lu Bu to gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou, for which Liu Dai paid a price, and now that Lu Bu has come to Yanzhou, will it be like Xuzhou, firmly occupy Yanzhou, if so, Yanzhou officials should be more cautious when choosing.
Although living under Lu Bu's rule will be fearful, it is still a choice, and choosing to betray Lu Bu at the moment is known to Lu Bu, even if their family is strong, can they stop the wolf-like Xuzhou army.
Any choice that can affect the family, the officials of the family will be more cautious.
Changyi City, which has stabilized on the surface, is secretly surging.
The news about Changyi City continued to reach Lu Bu's hands.
After Lu Bu stabilized Xuzhou, he started to work on Yanzhou's side, and set up an intelligence organization in Yanzhou, which was specially used to find out the news of Yanzhou.
Mu Ji, the son of the Mu family, is a person with means, after opening a restaurant in Yanzhou, relying on Xuzhou's provision in Xianyu, the restaurant will be prosperous, and various families in the city also have many contacts, he himself is a child of the family, and there is no more estrangement when interacting with the people of the family.
Of course, the identity of Muji businessman will still make many children of the family secretly despised, the merchant is the lowest figure in this era, and the proud son of the family is unwilling to choose to do business.
