Chapter 316: Let the White Guards go
Mao Jue asked if Cao Cao had anything important for him to do.
Cao Cao asked him, "Let you go to Pengcheng to see Lu Fengxian, do you dare or not?" β
Mao Jue immediately replied: "The lord thinks I should go, I dare." β
Looking at Guo Jia, Cao Cao winked.
"The lord got the news that Lu Bu is planning to send the families of everyone up and down in Xuzhou to Jianye." Guo Jia said to Mao Jue: "You went to Pengcheng to persuade Lu Bu not to do that. If he can give up the migration of his family, once a war starts in the future, it will be much more beneficial to the lord. β
learned that Lu Bu planned to move his family to Jianye, Mao Jue immediately understood.
He asked Cao Cao, "Does the lord think that Lu Fengxian has the intention of betraying it?" β
"The families of all the people in Xuzhou were sent to Jianye, do you think he has no intention of betraying it?" Cao Cao said: "Today's Lu Bu is different from the past, and it is not as easy to deal with him as it was in the early years. β
As Cao Cao's staff, Mao Jue had of course heard that Lu Bu was different from the past.
Since Lu Bu was young overnight, he is indeed very different from the past, and now Lu Bu is no longer the Wen Hou who can fool into making a wrong choice with three packets of fruits and two packets of sugar in the past.
If you want to convince Lu Bu, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Although he thought that Lu Bu was not so easy to convince, Mao Jue still replied: "I already understand what the lord means, and tomorrow morning, I will set off for Pengcheng." β
Mao Jue ordered him to retreat, and Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu: "Zhong Kang really wants to intercept Lu Bu's family?" β
"It is my duty to relieve the Lord's worries." Xu Chu replied.
Cao Cao nodded and said to Guo Jia: "How Zhongkang intercepts Lu Bu's family has to be made by Fengxiao. β
"Don't worry, my lord." Guo Jia responded.
When Guo Jia and Xu Chu also retreated, Cao Cao, who was sitting in the study, became very gloomy.
Lu Bu planned to send his family to Jianye, apparently discovering that he had plans to plot against Xuzhou.
If his family is not in Xuzhou, Lu Bu can let go of his hands and feet to do things.
The number one general in the world, once there is no person or thing enough to make him scruple, it will be extremely difficult to deal with him.
After Guo Jia and Xu Chu exited the study, the two walked side by side.
Xu Chu asked Guo Jia: "How does Fengxiao plan to deploy?" β
"Does General Zhongkang know how far he wants to intercept Lu Bu's family?" Guo Jia did not answer, but asked rhetorically.
After thinking for a while, Xu Chu replied: "Blocking Lu Bu's family is not to drive them back to Pengcheng?" β
Guo Jia shook his head: "Not really." β
Xu Chu asked in surprise: "Dare to ask what Fengxiao wants?" β
Guo Jia didn't say anything, just made a movement to wipe his neck.
Looking at Guo Jia in astonishment, Xu Chu said, "If you do this, won't you completely anger Lu Bu?" β
"Don't be angry, he and the lord are not of the same mind." Guo Jia said: "He decided to move his family to Jianye, which is to make a plan to oppose the purpose of the lord. If he hadn't killed his family, how would he have known that he had made the wrong choice this time? β
"What if he knows that he made the wrong choice?" Xu Chu said: "If you kill his family, Lu Bu will definitely turn against the lord." He hasn't done that yet, and once he is forced to do that......"
"Sooner or later, why bother with this?" Guo Jia said: "Zhongkang only needs to kill people, and there is no need to think about anything else." β
Xu Chu didn't expect that stopping Lu Bu's family was just to kill people.
looked at Guo Jia in astonishment, he wanted to ask something more, but he couldn't find a suitable way to ask.
Smiling at him, Guo Jia said: "Lu Bu has the intention of turning his back on the lord, and the lord also has a plan to crusade against him, but now it is just a reason." Zhong Kang went to Xuzhou this time in order to create a reason for the lord and Lu Bu. Rather than waiting for Lu Bu to make trouble, let's find some trouble for him first. β
"I see." Xu Chu nodded and agreed.
Cao Cao sent Mao Jue and Xu Chu to prevent LΓΌ Bu from moving the families of officials up and down in Xuzhou, and LΓΌ Bu, who was in Pengcheng, finally waited for the day when his family could leave after several days of preparation.
Lu Su rode on horseback, followed by two or three hundred neatly dressed soldiers.
Lu Bu led a group of generals to Lu Su.
"Zijing is all ready?" Glancing at the soldiers who were following behind Lu Su, Lu Bu asked, "Isn't it too little to bring only such a few people?" β
"It's just to escort Xuzhou officials and the family members of the Marquis of Chu to Jianye, and it doesn't take too many people." Lu Su replied: "We are passing through all parts of the country under the rule of the Marquis of Chu, and there are already a lot of two or three hundred soldiers accompanying us, so there is no need to worry too much." β
"How can you not be worried?" Lu Bu shook his head and said, "We have been preparing for too long, Cao Cao must have known that his family is going to Jianye." He has long been eyeing Xuzhou, and it is impossible not to deal with it completely. With only such a few people, you can't protect your family members at all. β
He looked back at Chen Dao: "Uncle Zhi will take Bai Weijun on a trip, and he must protect his family members." β
Chen Zhi immediately agreed.
LΓΌ Bu ordered Chen Zhi to lead the Bai Wei army with him, but Lu Su did not say anything to dissuade him.
The Baiwei army totaled 5,000 people, and Chen Zhi personally trained them.
With them with them, even if you meet the soldiers and horses sent by Cao Cao to intercept them halfway, you don't have to worry at all.
After talking to Lu Su, Lu Bu walked towards the team that was already ready and waiting to leave Pengcheng.
Those who walked with the procession were the servants and maids of each family.
The families of the officials were all in horse-drawn carriages.
The ladies of Lu Bu's back house also followed the team in carriages.
Coming to Diao Chan's carriage, Lu Bu greeted: "Madam, it's a long way from Pengcheng to Jianye, and you have to take good care of yourself on the road." β
Diao Chan in the carriage heard him speak and lifted the curtain of the carriage.
Seeing Lu Bu standing outside the car, Diao Chan showed a slightly desolate smile: "The husband explained, and the concubine body has been recorded." The concubine is not in Pengcheng, and the husband has to be cherished. β
"Madame, don't worry." Lu Bu glanced at the carriages next to him: "On the road and after arriving at Jianye, the other ladies have been handed over to you to take care of." β
"It's all my own sisters, I will." Diao Chan agreed.
Lu Bu was about to order Lu Su to set off with the team, and a guard quickly ran in front of him: "Qi Chu Hou, Cao Cao sent Mao Jue to Pengcheng, saying that there is something important to discuss with Chu Hou. β
He had long expected that Cao Cao would send someone over, but Lu Bu just didn't expect it to be so soon.
He frowned slightly, and instructed the guard: "Tell Mao Jue, let him wait in the front hall, and I will go over." β
The guard agreed, turned around and ran quickly.
