Chapter 225: Breaking the Game
The next day, the fiery sun rose in the east. Lu Bu, who was tired all night, got up from the bed, covered the quilt for the beautiful woman next to him, and walked out of the room with a casual piece of clothing.
The spring sun is unusually comfortable, and yesterday's haze seems to have been alleviated a lot because of this good sunshine. Taking a deep breath, Lu Bu played a set of boxing techniques, and after breakfast, he walked towards the barracks.
Jia Xu and Zhang Liao had been waiting there for a long time.
Seeing Lu Bu and the others get up to greet each other, Lu Bu waved his hand to let them sit down, and asked casually, "What did Gongsun Chan say over there?" β

Zhang Liao stepped forward and said, "He agreed, and launched an attack within three days." β
Lu Bu shook his head, "Three days is too long!" Go and tell him, "Tomorrow, tomorrow, if there is no action, we will return to the state." β
"Tomorrow?" Zhang Liao raised his head: "Will it be too early tomorrow?" β
"It's not early" Lu Bu shook his head, all of Gongsun Zhan's thoughts are based on our foundation here, once we withdraw, even if the heavenly immortals come, what awaits him is only death. Gongsun Chan knows this very well, so he will definitely not refuse.
"My subordinates will go."
"Hard work"
Lu Bu said to Jia Xu again: "How is Xun Yu over there? "This team hidden in the darkness is Lu Bu's surprise soldier to deal with all unexpected situations!
"Everything is in accordance with the orders of the lord, and a large-scale recruitment of troops is underway, and the current number is about 70,000." However, Jia Xu's words changed, "Due to the recent frequent activities, Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao may have been aware of the existence of this army, but they don't know who this army belongs to!" β
"Okay," Lu Bu patted the handrail happily, "Tell Xun You not to take care of anyone, give me a hard time, and recruit one more person, that's his ability." β
"The lord thinks twice," Jia Xu admonished, "now." We are in Youzhou, and we are already under the control of others, and now we are expanding our army on a large scale. Anything else, let's talk about food first, which is a big problem. Once we run out of food, we may not recover. β
"What if it's grain from the state?"
"Is the lord joking? The two states are separated by hundreds of miles, and the mountains are high and steep all the way. No matter what obstacles will be encountered on the way, the lord may not be able to afford the consumption of this food transportation alone. β
"So what to do?" Lu Bu was a little annoyed, "If I had known, I wouldn't have burned all the grain of Gongsun Zhan." Today, Lu Bu finally discovered one thing, that is, you must never underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, otherwise you will definitely suffer a big loss. Lu Bu only thought about Youzhou at the time, but forgot that his side was still like a wolf and a tiger. This trip to Youzhou is not allowed, otherwise Lu Bu will feel that he is in a panic.
"I'm afraid my lord has forgotten one thing." Seeing the entanglement and chagrin on Lu Bu's face, Jia Xu couldn't help but remind.
"Forgot something, what?" Lu Bu thought about it, but he couldn't think of anything.
Seeing Lu Bu's appearance, Jia Xu didn't sell Guanzi. "The lord is disappointed, you are now sitting on not only the state and the grassland, but also Jingzhou."
"Jingzhou?" Lu Bu reacted, "Although there are soldiers and horses in Youzhou, if you wait for them to transfer troops, I'm afraid the cucumber vegetables will already be cold." "What can they do? Lu Bu really didn't know.
Jia Xu said: "The things that the lord is worried about are none other than Cao Cao and Ma Teng. Although these two people are fierce, according to the current situation, the two have not done their best. It's a bit difficult to defeat the two, but it's still possible to delay it. β
Hearing Jia Xu's words, Lu Bu looked happy, "Wenhe has a good plan?" Let's hear about it. β
"Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes. The Emperor is his token, but at the same time he is dead. The lord thinks about it, if something happens to the emperor, what will Cao Cao do? β
"Cao Cao will inevitably return to help desperately, if something happens to the emperor, no one in the world can spare him Cao Cao." Lu Bu blurted out without thinking.
"The lord is wise!" Jia Xu praised, "Xuchang is Cao Cao's base camp, and once something happens there, it is tantamount to grabbing Cao Cao's seven inches, which is definitely a fatal blow to Cao Cao." β
"Therefore, the purpose of Jingzhou's attack is not to rescue and annex the state, but to attack Yanzhou by surprise."
"Wai Wei to save Zhao, okay, good strategy" Lu Bu laughed with his palms. "What about Xiliang?"
"Does the lord know who is in power in Xiliang now?"
"Ma Teng?" Lu Bu was a little puzzled and asked what is this for?
Jia Xu shook his head, "Does the lord know Han Sui?" β
Han Sui, a native of Jincheng, Liangzhou, one of the heroes of the late Han Dynasty, was quite prestigious in the Xiliang region, and supported the army for decades. After that, Han Sui united with Ma Teng, and married Ma Teng as brothers with different surnames, and the same town of Xiliang, and gradually became the two most powerful warlords in Guanzhong.
But Han Sui is quite introverted and doesn't like publicity. Therefore, the world only knows Ma Teng but not Han Sui! But in some places in Xiliang, Han Sui's name is better than Ma Teng's.
"Does the lord know whose idea it was to attack the grassland this time?" Jia Xu said mysteriously.
"Isn't it Ma Teng? He seemed to be the most effective throughout! β
"Fei Ye" Jia Xu shook his head, "This operation, that was Han Sui's idea. β
"What" Lu Bu was a little surprised. Because according to the information he obtained, Han Sui has been almost following Ma Teng from the beginning to the present. Outsiders simply can't imagine that this operation was carried out by Han Sui.
"What is he going to do?" Lu Bu frowned and said.
Jia Xu sneered, "Right! The lord knew that Han Sui also knew Ma Teng. Ma Tengnai is a descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan, who can be said to be from a famous family. Forced by the situation, he and Han Sui became brothers of the opposite sex. One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and Ma Teng and Han Sui are at odds with each other. If the lord wants to resolve the grassland crisis, he needs to start with the two of them. β
"What does Wenhe mean?"
Jia Xu nodded, "The lord can send a messenger to Ma Teng with a lot of money, explain the pros and cons, and say that it is murderous, and Ma Teng must be suspicious." The most important point is to recognize Ma Teng as the lord of Xiliang, so that the danger of the grassland can be solved."
Lu Bu frowned and said, "Will Ma Teng agree?" Although Ma Teng and Han Sui have a gap in their hearts, after all, they have worked together for many years, will he be tempted by just a little lure? β
"Hahaha" Jia Xu smiled: "Lord, don't underestimate people's hearts. There can only be one master in the land of Xiliang, there is no doubt about this. Although Ma Teng and Han Sui are calm on the surface, they must secretly compete secretly. At this critical juncture, it only takes a little spark to break the fragile alliance between the two. β
Lu Bu also felt that this plan was feasible, so he said: "I will immediately send someone to Xiliang secretly to meet Ma Teng. β
"Lord and slow," Jia Xu stopped Lu Bu.
"What else?"
"People who see Ma Teng don't have to be sneaky, on the contrary, they have to go to see Ma Teng with great fanfare."
