Chapter 202: Messenger Cao Xing
Returning to Pingyu City, Yuan Shu didn't care about resting, and asked Ji Ling and Xu Chu to take the army down and settle it, Yuan Shu summoned Xun Yue, Xun Yan, Chen Zhong, Yuan Yin, Yuan Lian, Yuan Yao and others to his study and began to discuss matters related to Lu Bu.
In addition to Yan Xiang, who supported Nanyang with Pan Feng, and Yang Hong, who originally stayed in Nanyang, all the think tanks under Yuan Shu's current command can be said to be concentrated here, and maybe there is a Hu Zhao, during this time, Yuan Shu will often visit Hu Zhao, and Hu Zhao also has the intention of investing in Yuan Shu, but he is not very firm now, therefore, Hu Zhao is not yet able to participate in the inner circle of Yuan Shu, but that day is not far away.
Yuan Shu sat on the main seat, looked around at the group of thinkers in front of him, his eyes fell on Xun Yue, and asked, "Zhong Yu, has Lu Bu made any changes during this time?" ”
Xun Yue said: "Back to the lord, after Lu Bu led 20,000 troops into Yingchuan, except for the fact that he had gone to Yingchuan to snatch a batch of grain and grass, there was no abnormal movement, and it was ······."
"What's the matter? Keep talking! Yuan Shu's eyes let out a gleam, and he said sharply.
Xun Yue was forced by Yuan Shu's momentum and said: "Just yesterday, Lu Bu sent a messenger to Pingyu, saying that Lu Bu wanted to take refuge in the lord. ”
"What!" Yuan Shu was shocked when he heard this, and slapped the table in front of him with both hands, and the power of his soul surged, almost uncontrollable.
Xun Yue, Xun Yan and Chen Zhong hurriedly took action when they saw this scene and helped Yuan Shu control this somewhat disordered soul power, and they didn't blame Yuan Shu, but this news was too shocking, so Yuan Shu couldn't believe it.
Not just Yuan Shu, in addition to Xun Yue, Yuan Yao, Yuan Yin and Yuan Lian, who had known the news for a long time, including Chen Zhong and Xun Yan, they were all shocked by this news.
That's Lu Bu, Lu Bu, who is known as the world's number one general, and his strength can be said to be the best in the world, but now he wants to say that he wants to take refuge in Yuan Shu and become a general under Yuan Shu, which makes Yuan Shu not surprised. Even Yuan Yao was quite surprised when he knew the news, and later Yuan Yao recalled that Lu Bu did serve under Yuan Shu for a period of time after escaping from Chang'an City, and then somehow left Yuan Shu, and at the invitation of Chen Gong and Zhang Miao, he took advantage of Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou and attacked Yanzhou, and almost the entire Yanzhou was in his hands.
And after knowing that Lu Bu planned to take refuge under Yuan Shu, Yuan Yao began to analyze the pros and cons of this matter for Yuan Shu's forces. Lu Bu put under the command of Yuan Shu in a short period of time can indeed make Yuan Shu's strength soar, Lu Bu and his Zhang Liao, Gao Shun are all first-class generals, and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry is a strong cavalry that can fight with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, although Yuan Shu's subordinates have 5,000 cavalry, but compared with the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, the combat power gap is still very large.
However, the advantages are obvious, and there are many disadvantages, the 20,000 people under Lu Bu Yuan Shu cannot have control, and it is impossible for Lu Bu to give up the control of these 20,000 people. Moreover, Lu Bu is unruly, his martial arts are the best in the world, and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are supplements, if he suddenly attacks under Yuan Shu, it will be difficult for Yuan Shu to resist. And Yuan Yao can be sure that Lu Bu will not stay long under Yuan Shu, so what does Yuan Yao need to do to ensure that his interests are maximized during the time that Lu Bu is under Yuan Shu's command?
As for killing Lu Bu, Yuan Yao didn't think about this matter at all, with Lu Bu's strength, even if he didn't bring weapons and armor, but unless he used poison, it was almost impossible to kill him, and even if he used poison, with Lu Bu's current cultivation, the Gang Qi would work a little, and the poison that was too weak would not have any effect at all. The most important thing is that once they make a move on Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun will definitely not stand idly by, even if Yuan Yao can make Zhang Liao and Gao Shun return to their hearts, but Lu Bu is in danger, and they can't be indifferent. As for forcible killing, it is even more impossible, with Lu Bu's current strength, if he wants to forcibly kill him, unless he takes out a handful of hands or more powerhouses in the late stage of the Condensation Gang Realm or the late stage of the Void Soul Realm, it can only be a head. And only one of Yuan Shu's subordinates, Xu Chu, has reached the cultivation level of the late stage of the Void Soul Realm, and he can't meet the conditions for forcible killing at all.
The advantages are very high, and the disadvantages are also very obvious, if Yuan Yao is asked to make a choice, Yuan Yao really doesn't know what to do, but after thinking about it, Yuan Yao is ready to follow the decision made by Yuan Shu. After all, whether to accept Lu Bu or not has different advantages and disadvantages for Yuan Shu's forces, and to be honest, although Lu Bu is the number one military general in the world, he does not have too strong a desire for Lu Bu and Yuan Yao, because Lu Bu is unruly and difficult to subdue, at least Yuan Yao does not have the confidence to subdue Lu Bu now.
In addition to Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun under Lu Bu are quite in line with Yuan Yao's wishes, although the strength of the two is not as good as Lu Bu, but if Yuan Yao is given the choice, he will choose Zhang Liao and Gao Shun instead of Lu Bu, because Lu Bu is really not reassuring to use.
Yuan Shu was stimulated by Xun Yue's news at this moment and couldn't control his soul power, but fortunately, Yuan Shu was not an ordinary person, and he quickly recovered, and then said to Xun Yue: "Where is that Lu Bu's messenger now?" ”
Xun Yue said: "Rest at the post station in the city, because the lord has not come back at that time, so his subordinates are temporarily placed in the post station." ”
Yuan Shu nodded, and then said, "Call him, I want to hear what he has to say." ”
"Yes!" Xun Yue obeyed.
After a while, a general wearing regular clothes with a bright eye walked up and saluted Yuan Shu: "Cao Xing, under the command of Marquis Wen, has seen General Hou." ”
For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on this Cao Xing, but Cao Xing was fearless. Yuan Yao also began to observe Cao Xuan at this time. The cultivation at the peak of Yunjin, with long arms, should be good at archery.
Yuan Yao remembered that in the original historical trajectory, one of Xiahoudun's eyes was blinded by Cao Xing, and being able to shoot Xiahoudun in the eye with an arrow can also show how Cao Xing's archery skills are. However, Lu Bu's archery skills are already the best in the world, and Cao Xing will also be guided by him under his command, and it is understandable that his archery skills are not weak. And in Lu Bu's last moments, Cao Xing did not betray Lu Bu, fought with the rebellious Hao Meng and others, and cut off one of Hao Meng's arms, which was rewarded by Lu Bu.
