Chapter Ninety-Eight: Liu Dai's Messenger
After everyone left, Lu Bu left Jia Xu behind.
"What does Wen He think about the current situation?" Lu Bu asked.
Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said: "Now Wenhou's status as the pastor of Xuzhou has been supported by Yuan Shu, if the princes want to attack Wenhou with this, they will inevitably face Yuan Shu's blame, the current strength of Yuan Shu far exceeds Yuan Shaoye, and relying on Yuan Shu can make Wen Hou stabilize in Xuzhou." ”
"Although the Yanzhou army has failed one after another, after all, there are more than 20,000 people, even if Wen Hou led the army to defeat the Yanzhou army, want to occupy the entire Yanzhou, it is also extremely difficult, one Xuzhou's troops are insufficient, after taking charge of Yanzhou, there will inevitably be many disasters, the two Yanzhou has recently had a yellow turban flow, there is an intensifying trend, as expected, the yellow turban will inevitably set off turmoil in Yanzhou, the three Liu Dai is the Han family, the imperial court appointed Yanzhou pastor, after the capture of Yanzhou, the strength of Wen Hou has increased greatly, but the princes must be jealous of Wen Hou, There will even be a joint attack on Xuzhou by the princes again. ”
"In the view of humble duties, we should focus on stabilizing Xuzhou."
"Liu Dai led the army to attack Xuzhou, how could there be such a cheap thing." Lu Bu snorted coldly.
Jia Xu said with a smile: "Wen Hou can use the method of Liu Dai's failure in Yanzhou before to get more benefits from Liu Dai's hands." ”
&; "With Wenhe plotting on the side, Liu Dai Lao'er will definitely pay a heavy price." Lu Budao.
Lu Bu agrees with Jia Xu's ability, and now Jia Xu has also played an important role on the side, which is far from enough for Lu Bu, what he needs is Jia Xu's absolute loyalty.
Strategists are extremely important, and it is very difficult to get the help of a wise man, and with Lu Bu's current reputation, what kind of strategists can be recruited, I am afraid that he is a poor scholar, and he will abandon Lu Bu as if he were a schemer.
Civilian, military and military generals are extremely concerned about reputation, and they will not be willing to follow Lu Bu's side.
"How's the matter of secretly contacting the generals of the Yanzhou Army?" Lu Bu asked.
Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "At present, there are many generals of the Yanzhou Army who are interested in Wen Hou, and with the view of lowliness, it is better to let these people temporarily lie dormant by Liu Dai's side, thinking that they will be used later." ”
"Well, contact the generals in the Yanzhou army as much as possible, and there is a person named Cheng Yu in the Yanzhou army mentioned in the previous intelligence, so you should pay more attention." Lu Budao.
"Humble duty understands."
"If the Yanzhou army sends an envoy to come, Wenhe can negotiate with him."
The top of the Yanzhou army launched a fierce debate on how to face the current situation, and the arrival of Lu Bu made the top of the Yanzhou army feel that the crisis was approaching.
If the strength of the Yanzhou army is strong, it can learn from the actions of the Xuzhou army in the counties and defeat the Xuzhou army out of the city.
The argument lasted until late at night, and then it was decided that the Yanzhou army would sue for peace with the Xuzhou army.
Cao Cao had long known that this would be the result, when Lu Bu appeared in Yanzhou, Liu Dai had no will to fight, and it was a matter of time before he retreated, but Liu Dai was unwilling to admit the defeat of this war.
Liu Dai can also be regarded as an official with means, whether it is leading troops to fight or governing places, there are commendable places, but there are still many shortcomings when playing against battle-hardened generals like Lu Bu.
Lu Bu's invincible image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
After Tao Qian returned to Pengcheng, there were not a few families who secretly wooed him, but the role that these families could play was not as big as Tao Qian imagined, not only did they fail to make Pengcheng turbulent, but they were seen through by Mi Zhu, and even Tao Qian was captured by the soldiers in the army today and temporarily imprisoned in the city.
It can be said that in this confrontation, the methods used by the Yanzhou army did not play a big role, but instead fulfilled Lu Bu's prestige.
The next day, Liu Dai sent Wang Kai and Xu Yan to the Xuzhou army to discuss the withdrawal of troops from both sides.
Liu Dai was even ready to slaughter Lu Bu fiercely, before the Yanzhou army intercepted Lu Bu's army, he paid a price, this time I am afraid that it will pay more.
Liu Dai's decision to sue for peace really made the generals in the Yanzhou army secretly relieved.
Fighting with the Xuzhou army is like facing a flood beast, the Xuzhou army not only has elite cavalry, but also invincible foot soldiers, how can you win the battle.
War is the duty of a soldier, and it depends on what kind of battle it is.
Wang Kai and Xu Yan came as envoys of the Yanzhou army, and the soldiers of the Xuzhou army guarding the camp did not have too much difficulty, and after some inspection, they let a group of people enter the army, and even the blades of fifty elite soldiers were not collected.
In the Xuzhou army, if these soldiers dare to make waves, they will be directly eliminated by the soldiers of the Xuzhou army.
And Wang Kai and Xu Yan also felt what it means to be elite soldiers in the Xuzhou army, compared with the momentum of the Xuzhou army at this time, the Yanzhou army is the weak.
In the confrontation with the Yanzhou army, the Xuzhou army still maintained daily training, and the shouting and killing sound that came out during the training made the accompanying soldiers look a little unnatural.
Wang Kai and Xu Yan are civil officials, they are afraid in their hearts, and they are still talking and laughing on the surface, if they don't know the truth, they still think that the two are from the Xuzhou army.
"Wenhou has an order, Yanzhou Wang Kai and Xu Yan can enter, and the rest of the people are waiting outside the tent, and they are not allowed to get close to the Chinese army for fifty steps, and those who violate it will bear the consequences." Gao Shun said in a deep voice.
"There's General Lao Gao." Wang Kai arched his hand.
Gao Shun is a celebrity in the Xuzhou army, and his commander's trapped camp, the Yanzhou army, in the Xuzhou army, naturally has to show a certain attitude towards Gao Shun.
Xu Yan also nodded slightly, and he should have seen Gao Shun.
The soldiers who came with the two were all elites in the Yanzhou army, and when they learned the order conveyed by Gao Shun, they dared not speak out.
The big tent of the Chinese army, the important generals in the army gathered.
After Wang Kai and Xu Yan entered the tent, they felt a strong killing intent.
"I was engaged in Wang Kai in Lower Yanzhou, and I met Wenhou." Wang Kai stepped forward and saluted.
"I've seen Wen Hou." Xu Yan agreed.
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Liu Dai sent you two here, what is the matter?" ”
"A soldier is a major matter of the country"
Lu Bu waved his hand and said: "Directly explain the intention, this marquis is a military general, and he can't understand these trivial things you said." ”
The generals in the tent burst into bursts of laughter, Lu Bu's attitude was arrogant and rude, but it made them feel comfortable, in the past, when facing civil officials, the military generals had a feeling of inferiority, but under Lu Bu's command, they would not, because Lu Bu was also a military general.
