Chapter 331: Retreat

Liu Yu, the word Bo'an, the son of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu, after Liu Qiang, King Gong of the East China Sea, is the son of the clan! And Liu Yu is also quite talented! After serving as the pastor of Youzhou, he was lenient in government and pacified the people, which won the hearts of the people. There is no doubt that Liu Yu and Liu Biao and Liu Yan are the same, the pillars of the Han clan. Such a person is very famous.

It is precisely because of Liu Yu's high reputation that Yuan Shao has a desire to make Liu Yu the emperor. Of course, Yuan Shao's support for Liu Yu as the emperor was also unkind, Liu Yu naturally did not agree, but from this aspect, it can be seen how high Liu Yu's reputation is.

It's just that no matter how famous Liu Yu is, after serving as the pastor of Youzhou, he is always a little annoyed, and it is his subordinate, the white horse general Gongsun Zhan, who annoys him. Gongsun Zhan is a nobleman in Youzhou, and he has always had great ambitions since he was a child, and he made a lot of meritorious contributions when he pacified Zhang Chun's Zhang Ju rebellion. If the two complement each other in Youzhou, it is also excellent, but the two have no room for mediation in the matter of alien races. Now that Liu Yu has raised troops to conquer Gongsun Zhan, it is the outbreak of all kinds of contradictions!

Today's Lu Bu and Gongsun Chan are allies, and in my heart, I naturally hope that Gongsun Chan can win. But this war, starting from Liu Yu's army, means that no matter what the outcome, Gongsun Chan is defeated.

Even if Gongsun Chan wins, then with Gongsun Chan's character, Liu Yu's life will naturally not be guaranteed! And once Youzhou is gone, but Liu Yu is gone, then who can appease those Zhuhu? Without Liu Yu to solve this worry for Gongsun Zhan, how could Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao compete for hegemony? And with Liu Yu's reputation in Youzhou, once Gongsun Chan killed Liu Yu, it meant losing the hearts of the people.

So this war, from the very beginning, was doomed to the defeat of Gongsun Zhan.

Li Ru quickly understood what Lu Bu meant, "My lord, you mean that General Baima and Liu Yu cannot coexist, if Liu Yu is killed by General Baima, then it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to General Baima's reputation." ”

"That's right!"

Lu Bu said in a deep voice, "Liu Yu is popular in Youzhou, if he is killed by Gongsun Zhan, he will definitely lose the hearts of the people in Youzhou, and Yuan Shao will also use this matter to make a big fuss." ”

Li Ru also thought about it for a while, and then smiled lightly, "Lord, you only thought of the bad, but not the good." If General Baima takes advantage of this battle to kill Liu Yu and can quickly annex Liu Yu's forces, then the entire Youzhou will be under his rule, and its power will probably be stronger......"

"Huh."

Listening to Li Ru's answer, Lu Bu shook his head and smiled. What Li Ru said was indeed good, but he forgot one thing, that is, Gongsun Zhan is very good at fighting, but let him govern internal affairs? Forget it! God knows if there is no Liu Yu in Youzhou's internal affairs, I don't know what it will become! Of course, these things are not his turn to worry about Lu Bu. At least for a long time, Yuan Shao will not take any action against him and the state, he must seize the time to develop.

"The affairs of Youzhou, you must pay close attention! Also, capture Liu He, the son of Liu Yu, as much as possible! ”

Lu Bu commanded.

"No!"

Li Ru didn't understand why LΓΌ Bu wanted to capture Liu He, but he never objected to LΓΌ Bu's order. After experiencing so many things, Li Ru had already recognized Lu Bu's decision in his heart.

He had seen a wise and wise lord turn into a tyrannical ruler who had no enterprising spirit and only knew how to enjoy pleasure. Now he is witnessing with his own eyes, a scheming husband in his eyes, but because of the departure of a woman, he has gradually become the master of wisdom and martial arts. Both of these changes are huge and incredible! But he just let Li Ru meet him.

"How's going on in Hanoi?"

Stretching his waist, Lu Bu rubbed his somewhat tired eyes and said.

Li Ru looked at Lu Bu, who still had bloodshot eyes in his eyes, and responded, "There is no news from Hanoi for the time being, but presumably if Cao Cao hears that Yuan Shao's army has been defeated, he will definitely retreat, and Hanoi should be worry-free......"

"Don't be careless!"

Lu Bu instructed, "That Cao Mengde is not an idle person, he is scheming and treacherous, but he is a great enemy of my state!" ”

"No!"

Li Ru knew that Lu Bu attached great importance to Cao Cao. However, Li Ru felt that Cao Cao couldn't make much of a storm now. After Cao Cao mistakenly killed Bian Rang, the Yanzhou territory was very unpeaceful, and it could almost be regarded as surging. Cao Cao was in turmoil, and there were two princes of Tao Qian and Yuan Shu who were eyeing each other. That kind of situation is really not as good as Lu Bu.

At least the threat that Lu Bu is facing now is only Yuan Shao! After this battle of Jinyang, Lu Bu was completely able to gain a firm foothold in Bingzhou and gain a foothold in the world.

………

Hanoi, Huai District.

When Lu Bu was talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao, who was sitting in the tent and discussing things, couldn't help but sneeze out, "Ahhhh ”

At this moment, when Cao Cao's generals saw Cao Cao's appearance, they all forcibly held back their laughter. But only Xi Zhong laughed out loud, laughing very comfortably!

Cao Cao rubbed his somewhat uncomfortable nose, his small eyes glanced at everyone, saw the look on their faces, and smiled, "If you want to laugh, you can laugh, hold it like this, but it's uncomfortable, you look at Zhicai, it's not like waiting!" ”

"Hahaha!"

The generals were all laughing, and the atmosphere in the whole camp was lively.

Xi Zhong had some smiles on his face, Cao Cao didn't get angry, he was still quite easy-going. Most of the generals in this tent are Cao Cao's clansmen, and in front of Cao Cao, they will not be so restrained, so Cao Cao also has the leisure to ridicule everyone.

"Okay......"

In the midst of laughter, Cao Cao's face returned to seriousness, and he tapped his fingers on the main case a few times, "I have summoned all of you here today to discuss the matter of withdrawing from the army. ”

"Retirement?"

After hearing Cao Cao's words, all the generals were shocked.

Xiahou Yuan, who was more anxious, even questioned, "The lord is now in Huaixian County, why did the lord withdraw from the army?" ”

"I raised troops to attack Hanoi, and its original intention was to respond to the Yuan League's main attack on Jinyang, but now that the Yuan League's main attack on Jinyang has been defeated, our army has no meaning in attacking this Hanoi."

Cao Cao sighed a little.

Lu Bu really surprised him, this tiger may be getting more and more difficult to deal with.

"Lord Yuan is defeated?"

Cao Hong exclaimed, "He has 50,000 elites!" With so many troops, can't you capture a Jinyang? ”
