Chapter 373, leading Cao Cao south

"Enjoying?"

Kuai Yue couldn't smile bitterly, and hurriedly replied, "General Lu, you really know how to laugh." ”

Lu Zhuo left him to eat in the mansion, and Kuai Yue had no reason to refuse, and in this way, they became closer to each other.

During the meal, Kuai Qi and Lu Zhuo's seniority was also messed up, Lu Zhuo and Kuai Yue called him brothers, so Kuai Qi naturally became a junior, seeing Kuai Yue glaring at him, he had to stand up and toast Lu Zhuo, "Uncle is above, little nephew respects you." ”

Lu Zhuo smiled, picked up the wine cup and nodded, "The virtuous nephew has a heart." ”

As he spoke, Lu Zhuo tilted his neck and poured the wine into his mouth boldly.

Kuai Qi felt very uncomfortable, it was said that he was Lu Zhuo's brother-in-law, but now he has become Lu Zhuo's nephew, even if he is dissatisfied, he has to accompany the smiling face.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Kuai Yue mentioned the matter of asking Lu Zhuo to send troops.

Lu Zhuo also agreed to Kuai Yue as he promised to meet Jishi, but he also appropriately let Jingzhou let some blood and take out hundreds of millions of rights to compensate for Xuzhou's losses.

In this regard, Kuai Yue did not refuse, after the discussion stopped, Kuai Yue also left Xuzhou satisfied, he was in the same mood as Feng Ji when he left, he was relaxed, and the mood was extraordinarily comfortable.

After the two went back, they immediately prepared, and soon, the loaded money cart was sent to Xuzhou, Jizhou sent 600 million, and Jingzhou sent 500 million, but Lu Zhuo never showed any signs of sending troops.

But Liu Biao and Yuan Shao are in a hurry, Jizhou has already fought, the battle is unprecedentedly tragic, only ten days of effort, Yuan Shao has lost five cities, Jingzhou Liu Biao pressure is not small, Sun Jian's fierce tiger is like a bamboo, the Jingzhou soldiers are defeated and retreated, and there are countless casualties.

Lu Zhuo delayed sending troops, and both families sent people to urge, but Lu Zhuo took people to Jiaodong County.

Whether it was the envoy of Jizhou or the envoy of Jingzhou, Lu Zhuo handed it over to Zhang Zhao to receive him, and Zhang Zhao promised that the reinforcements were coming soon and he was already on the road.

The envoys of the two families almost vomited blood.

There is no shadow of reinforcements at all, isn't this talking nonsense with open eyes?

However, a month later, Sun Jian had successfully taken Hanyang, and Cao Cao and other three-way princes also penetrated deep into the hinterland of Jizhou, connecting more than a dozen cities.

At this moment, it completely shocked the world, and after Cao Cao got the news, he was struck by lightning on the spot, so he fell off his horse.

"Lord!"

Dian Wei's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly stepped forward and helped Cao Cao, Cao Cao's body finally stabilized, and his beard shook when he was angry, "It's annoying, it's annoying me, Yuan Shuxiao'er, it's really rampant!" ”

It is said that the gourd is pressed to float the scoop, but for Cao Cao, Liu Yu and Yuan Shao are the gourd, and Yuan Shu is the scoop, but before the gourd is pressed, the scoop will rise, whether to continue to attack Yuan Shao, or to wave troops south to conquer Yuan Shu?

Cao Cao had no choice but to immediately suspend his march, and then gathered the civil and military forces around him.

Cheng Yu frowned, stroked a few dry locks of beard, his eyes kept rolling, and the other strategists also bowed their heads and were silent.

Dian Wei clasped his hands on his chest, stood with a halberd, and looked at these people motionlessly, his eyes did not blink, like a wooden stone statue, his majestic and straight body, exuding violent and fierce power.

After a while, Cao Cao glanced at everyone with some impatience and asked, "Everyone, what should I do, is there a good plan?" ”

Cheng Yu raised his head, his eyes lit up, and he got up and said, "Lord, it's better to do this, let's divide our troops into two ways, go all the way south to conquer Yuan Shu, and continue to crusade against Yuan Shao all the way, so as to set an example for the people of the world, and let everyone know that all rebellions, no matter who they are, will not be tolerated." ”

"Hehe......"

Cao Cao shook his head, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Zhongde, are you joking with me, although we got 300,000 Qingzhou troops a year ago, and the soldiers and horses are also majestic, but the difficulty of dividing the troops into two roads is really not small. ”

Cheng Yu's proposal, no one agreed, everyone whispered, frowning and shaking their heads.

Cheng Yu said, "Lord, although it is said that it is divided into two roads, but, not necessarily, I mean that the lord and Lu Bu, the two families sent troops south, leaving Liu Bei to continue to conquer Jizhou, we put the main force on Yuan Shu's body, Yuan Shu is an incompetent person, does not understand the art of war, does not understand strategy, and will not govern the place, now vainly claiming to be the emperor, must be detached, causing the people to denounce, soldiers to rebel, the combat power can be imagined. We and Lu Bu sent troops at the same time, and then contacted Liu Biao in Jingzhou, this battle can be decided in one fell swoop, not to mention, the lord, even if we don't divide the troops and continue to stay in Jizhou, there are some things, the lord can't deal with them, then Liu Bei and Lu Bu, these two people are not in harmony, and their hearts are not in harmony, if they don't pay attention to it, it is easy to have conflicts, and they are divided into two ways, just so that the two of them can show their strengths and no longer be constrained. ”

Hearing this, everyone understood Cheng Yu's hard work, Liu Bei and Lu Zhuo, these two people staying together is indeed harmful and useless, and the phenomenon of not working hard cannot be avoided at all.

If they were to attack a certain city at the same time, they would be dragged and delayed, and they would never fight for merit, and both of them would struggle forward.

If one is in trouble and is surrounded by the enemy, the other will only gloat and watch from the sidelines.

Because, the two of them have a deep hatred, and the hatred is irreconcilable at all.

Guo Jia also got up and said with a smile, "Zhongde's words coincide with Jia, so Yuan Shu is not worried, and it is good for Liu Bei to win, if he loses, just cut his wings, let him stay by the lord's side in a down-to-earth manner." ”

"Oh?"

Guo Jia's proposal made Cao Cao's heart suddenly brighten up a lot.

Because, Liu Bei is only following Cao Cao's orders now, if he is defeated by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao will easily be able to take Liu Bei and these people to his side.

If Liu Bei wins, Cao Cao benefits; If Liu Bei loses, it will also be Cao Cao who will benefit!

Guo Jia obviously hoped that Cao Cao could completely annex Liu Guanzhang and others.

After making up his mind, Cao Cao immediately summoned Lu Bu and Liu Bei to discuss, and when he heard that the two were separated, Lu Bu was very happy, but as for Liu Bei, he frowned deeply, frowning, and felt like he had been abandoned.

The reason is very simple, once Cao Cao and Lu Bu withdraw, next, Yuan Shao's pressure plummets, and he will inevitably take advantage of the situation to fight back, and when the time comes, it will become Liu Bei who suffers from deflatedness.

Cao Cao also guessed Liu Bei's concerns, repeatedly appeased, and promised that once Liu Bei was in trouble and the war in Jizhou was tight, he would never ignore it.
