Chapter 71: Lu Bu who was miserably pitted

With such a great victory and countless seizures of grain, grass and ordnance, Lu Bu was extremely proud.

Facing Yang Feng and Han Xianam, who had made their first contributions, Lu Bu prepared to serve as the Taishou of Yidu County and the Taishou of Langya County, and let the two of them sit in the north of Xuzhou for him.

Chen Deng, Chen Qi's father and son were shocked when they learned of this.

"Father, if Lu Bu gets the service of Yang Feng and Han Xian, wouldn't it be like a tiger with minions, and the prime minister may not be easy to destroy." Chen Deng said to his father Chen Qi.

The father and son have long taken refuge in Cao Cao, and the reason why they are still under Lu Bu's account is that they are just plotting to corrupt Lu Bu for Cao Cao, how can they increase Lu Bu's strength.

Chen Qi thought for a while and said, "Although Lu Bu defeated Yuan Shu and seized a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance, the army under his command also suffered a lot of losses. The people of Xuzhou are outnumbered, and it is difficult for Lu Bu to recover how many soldiers and horses in a short period of time, if Lu Bu has Yang Feng and Han Xian to serve, then there are Yang Feng and Han Xianam's soldiers, and Lu Bu's strength will be better than before. Only by designing that Lu Bu could not use the soldiers of Yang Feng and Han Xian, plus ruining Lu Bu's reputation, Lu Bu not only could not recover his strength, but also had enemies on all sides, and defeat was not far away. ”

Chen Deng asked, "What is my father's plan?" ”

Chen Qi thought about it for a while, and made a plan: "You can secretly inform Prime Minister Yang Feng and Han Xian of the route to Yidu County and Langya County, and let the Prime Minister send someone to ambush Yang Feng and Han Xianam, and after the two die, my father and son will persuade Lu Bu to accept the soldiers and horses left behind by the two." Later, rumors were secretly spread, saying that it was Lu Bu who swallowed Yang and Han's soldiers and horses, so he secretly killed Yang and Han. At that time, the remnants of Yang and Han will be dissatisfied with Lu Bu a lot, Lu Bu not only can't use the soldiers and horses left behind by the two, but on the contrary, they must take precautions, disappear and rise, Lu Bu's strength has not only not been enhanced, but also weaker by a few points, plus Yang Feng and Han Xian have made great contributions to Lu Bu, but they were 'secretly killed' by Lu Bu and took away the public, Lu Bu's reputation is all bad, and no one dares to trust Lu Bu anymore. ”

Xu Du.

Cao Cao got the secret report from Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son, and said with a straight smile: "This plan is really vicious, at that time, Lu Bu will be internally unstable, and there will be enemies on all sides, how can he not die?" Chen Jue, Chen Deng, father and son, have some talents, but when they rebel, they are so vicious to the old master, without leaving a trace of affection, and they are embarrassed! ”

Chen Jue, Chen Deng, father and son didn't know that although their strategy was about to trap Lu Bu, it also pitted themselves, dooming them to do things under Cao Cao in the future, it would never be of great use to Cao Cao, and their own future would have been ruined.

Cao Cao has always wanted to destroy Lu Bu, with such a plan, of course he will not hesitate, and immediately sent ambush soldiers according to Chen Qi's plan, carrying more bows and crossbows, to ambush and kill Yang Feng and Han Xian.

With unintentional calculations and favorable terrain, even heroes like Sun Jian had to die, and Yang Feng and Han Xian naturally couldn't escape, and were ambushed and killed by the people sent by Cao Cao.

After the death of the two, Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son went to ask Lu Bu to receive the men and horses left behind after the death of Yang Feng and Han Xian, and only said: "If the general doesn't take it, I am afraid that others will take the lead, and this tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will be wasted in vain." ”

Yang Feng and Han Xian have nearly 40,000 horses combined, and Lu Bu currently has less than 50,000 horses, and the people of Xuzhou are small, so it is difficult to add many people to Lu Bu in a short period of time, and Lu Bu does not want to let go of the people left behind after the death of Yang Feng and Han Xian.

Then he sent two generals, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, each to lead an army to receive it.

Seeing Lu Bu's plan, he couldn't help but go to receive the people left behind by Yang Feng and Han Xian after their deaths, Chen Qi and Chen Deng father and son immediately implemented the next plan, and together with Cao Cao's men, spread the word that Lu Bu was to annex Yang Feng and Han Xianam's people, so he secretly sent people to ambush Yang Feng and Han Xianam, which was really ruthless and unjust.

This rumor not only caused an uproar among the remnants of Yang Feng and Han Xian, but also caused a lot of turmoil in the presence of Lu Bu's main army.

This can really be said to make Lu Bu anxious, and he is not a person inside and out.

There was chaos internally, and externally, the princes also refreshed their cognition of Lu Bu's character, and felt that people like Lu Bu were really too unrighteous and untrustworthy.

Liu Bei is a hero, and he has some vision, he said secretly: It seems that Lu Bu's defeat is not far away, if Cao Cao wins Xuzhou, he will fight for hegemony in the Central Plains, where should my ambition go?

Liu Bei was quite uncertain in his heart.

Guanzhong, Chang'an City.

Full of favor brought Xu Huang to introduce Liu Yu, Liu Yu was overjoyed to see Xu Huang, after a routine examination, it was known that Xu Huang really had a unique opinion on the command of the army, and immediately treated Xu Huang well, not only set up a banquet for Xu Huang to wash the dust, but also directly appointed Xu Huang as the Taishou of Hanzhong County.

Hanzhong County is the only county under Liu Yu's jurisdiction with a population of 300,000, which shows how much Liu Yu values Xu Huang.

When a confidant died, Xu Huang was moved to tears, and bowed down with sincerity: "Xu Huang will see the lord, and he will live up to the lord in this life." ”

arranged Xu Huang, and a few days later, Liu Yu learned about the situation in Xuzhou.

Lu Bu will be killed by Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son, this is something that Liu Yu has known for a long time, so Liu Yu is not unusual, and he did not mean to remind Lu Bu.

In fact, Liu Yu has always had some thoughts about Lu Bu, the world's number one general.

When Lu Bu had just escaped from Guanzhong and passed by Shangyong, he wanted to serve him, but at that time, Lu Bu's ambitions were still too big, he was still too arrogant, and he was not tempered by enough setbacks to live under others for a long time, so Liu Yu did not accept it.

Then, Lu Bu was first rejected by Yuan Shu, and then suspected by Yuan Shao, went Zhang Yang, voted for Zhang Miao, went around and around, and finally captured Yanzhou under the strategy of Chen Gong, but was recaptured by Cao Cao and settled in Xuzhou.

"Fengxiao, Lu Bu is a tiger, many blows, has been a lot more stable than a few years ago, if it loses Xuzhou again, and completely falls into isolation, no one trusts, the desperate situation of the betrayal of relatives, after subduing it, it will be reborn rebellious heart?" Liu Yu asked Guo Jiadao.

In fact, Lu Bu is still secondary, brave is brave, but Liu Yu has Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, there are not many more Lu Bu, and there are no less Lu Bu, he values Zhang Liao and Gao Shun under Lu Bu more, as well as Chen Gong.

Needless to say, Zhang Liao, like Xu Huang, was one of the five good generals of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, and his ability to command troops was unique

Gao Shun single-handedly trained to get out of the trapping camp, and Gao Shun often persuaded Lu Bu that in fact, he should not be inferior to Zhang Liao in terms of military command ability and vision.

There is also Chen Gong, who may not be as good as Guo Jia and worse than Xun Yu, but he is also a rare strategist.

It is precisely because of the assistance of Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Chen Gong that Lu Bu has been able to sit firmly in Xuzhou for so many years, and has become Cao Cao's confidant.

Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "In such a situation, if Lu Buru dares to rebel again, he is no longer human, and no one will follow him at that time, and he is not afraid of rebellion." ”

Liu Yu nodded, and he already had a decision in his heart.

After this matter, Liu Yu and Guo Jia talked about Yuan Shu again, calculating the time, Cao Cao in the name of the imperial court, called for the crusade against Yuan Shu, the time is almost up, since Liu Yu proclaimed himself as a relative of the Han family, determined to help the world, if Cao Cao invited to crusade against Yuan Shu, he could not refuse, he must send troops.

Huainan, Shouchun.

Yuan Shu, who had just returned to Shouchun, did not realize that he was already embattled and was about to be besieged by the princes.

Yuan Shu didn't know anything about his dangerous situation, and he even sent an envoy to Jiangdong to borrow food and troops from Sun Ce, who had already dominated Jiangdong, and prepared to attack LΓΌ Bu again.

However, the envoy he sent was not to mention borrowing military rations from Sun Ce, and was directly reprimanded by Sun Ce: "Yuan Shu relied on my jade seal, usurped the emperor, rebelled against the Han family, and was a traitor to the country!" I still want to raise troops to ask for crimes, how can I help them to commit abuse? ”

Sun Ce sneered again and again, and directly blasted Yuan Shu's envoy away from Jiangdong.
