In the county guard mansion of Linfen City, Hedong County.

"Ahem!" A light cough brought everyone back to their senses, and when they looked at the sound, they saw Lu Bu looking at their side.

"Fujun, I'm really sorry......" Everyone said ashamedly, but before they could finish speaking, they were interrupted by Lu Bu.

"There is no need to apologize, to be honest, when I first heard the news, my performance was even worse than yours~" Lu Bu laughed self-deprecatingly. Naturally, no one would take these words seriously, but when Lu Bu said this, the original solemn atmosphere in the room was suddenly swept away.

Seeing that everyone's mood was relaxed, Lu Bu put on a serious expression and asked, "Then what do you think we should do about this matter now." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yun immediately spoke, "Mansion Jun, the lower officials think that no matter whether those Dong Zhuo remnants are submissive to the imperial court, or take risks to counterattack the Beijing division to avenge that Dong Zhuo, or join forces with each other to defend the place and fight the trapped beasts, our army must immediately gather troops and prepare for battle." ”

"Yes, although Dong Zhuo was killed, the descendants scattered in various parts of the division still have a large number of troops. If you don't prepare in advance, I'm afraid you'll fall into passivity. As soon as Zhao Yun's words fell, Zhang Liao on the side opened his mouth and agreed.

"Hmm." Lu Bu nodded when he heard this, then turned his head to look at Xu Shu, who was frowning, and asked, "What does Yuan Zhi have in mind, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

In February of this year, Xu Shu completed the crown ceremony presided over by Sima Hui at Dadao College, and was immediately sent by Li Yi to Hedong to assist Lu Bu.

Although Xu Shu was just a hairy boy who had just performed the crown ceremony, Lu Bu did not have any contempt because of this. Not only because of Li Yi's advice, but also because Xu Shu came out of Dao Academy, and was highly praised by Sima Hui and others.

For every student who leaves the Great Avenue Academy, Sima Hui and the others will make an evaluation for them, commenting on the talents they have shown in the academy. And their evaluation of Xu Shu is also rare among the students of the entire Avenue Academy. You must know that those students who go to the branch to teach, except for a sentence that is enough to serve as a master of some kind of knowledge, there is no other evaluation.

Therefore, Lu Bu has always taken Xu Shu with him, and has continuously increased the various affairs assigned to him to deal with, in order to cultivate this talented young man. He knew very well how much Li Yi attached great importance to Xu Shu, a subordinate who could give advice.

"No." Xu Shu made a respectful gesture when he heard this, then looked at Lu Bu and said, "Fujun, the lower officials think that they should immediately send troops to Xiayang and Wenxi counties!" ”

One sentence suddenly made everyone in the hall stunned, only Lu Bu showed a smile, and seemed to be very satisfied with Xu Shu's words. "If Yuan Zhi has anything to say, just say it directly, don't have any scruples." Lu Bu encouraged.

"No!" Hearing Lu Bu's words, Xu Shu gratefully gave Lu Bu a look again, and then explained, "Our army has always sent people to Xiayang and Wenxi to inquire about intelligence, but in recent times, except for about 20,000 people in Xiayang's defenders in the south, there has been no abnormality. In this way, Xia Guan thought that Fan Chou, who was guarding Xiayang, and Niu Fu and others in Hedong had not yet received the news that Dong Zhuo was dead......"

Hearing Xu Shu's words, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao suddenly showed thoughtful expressions, and the smile on Lu Bu's face became even stronger.

"Although our army is only 50,000, if we recruit temporarily, it is not a problem to gather 80,000 horses. You can even hire people to pretend to be loud, and then spread the news that Dong Zhuo has been killed and that the lord has sent troops. In this way, it will definitely make the enemy's morale fall down,......" Xu Shu said in a deep voice, but the face full of red tide and the continuous light in his eyes made Lu Bu easily see how excited the young man in front of him was.

But this is also normal, because not only Xu Shu, after listening to his plan, whether it is Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, who are calm and steady by nature, or Hao Meng, Wei Yue and others, who are more anxious, they all look excited, at most, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xiahou Lan and they are the same as Xu Shu, and they are more obscure.

Lu Bu didn't say anything about this, because although Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao have always behaved very calmly, they are just young people after all. Among the two, the eldest Zhao Yun is just twenty-four years old this year, no matter how stable he is, he still has the blood and strength of a young man.

The people of Bingzhou are still martial and warlike, and those who serve in the army regard their military exploits as the highest honor. And Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, who have grown up in Bingzhou almost since they were children, and are surrounded by all kinds of talented people, also have an idea in their hearts that they are eager to prove themselves.

In addition, when Yan Liang, Tong Fei and others attacked Wei County and Hanoi before, or when they crusaded against the Yellow Turbans earlier, they could only watch with their eyes in vain. In particular, their sworn brother Zhang Ren is obviously only one year older than Zhao Yun, but he has already led the army to attack Yecheng alone, and has made a huge contribution that the two of them are extremely envious, so how can the two not be eager for war exploits?

Moreover, not only Zhao Yun and them, but Lu Bu was also very excited about Xu Shu's plan. Speaking of which, Lu Bu's plan is actually very similar to Xu Shu, they all plan to send troops immediately, and when the time comes, as long as they are convinced that Dong Zhuo is dead, their morale will definitely plummet, and at that time, it is time for him to capture Xia Yang and Wen Xi.

It's just that with Xu Shu's explanation, Lu Bu found that the current situation seems to be more than just being able to capture these two cities......

After pondering for a moment, Lu Bu glanced around at everyone and said, "Just according to what Yuan Zhi said, send people to Xiayang and Wenxi to inquire about information." In addition, immediately assemble the troops in the city, Zilong, with you as the general to command 20,000 people, and I will send Wen Yuan and Yuan Zhi to assist you. After assembling, immediately head to Xiayang City. ”

"No!" Zhao Yun responded excitedly when he heard this.

Nodding, Lu Bu then looked at Xiahou Lan on the side, "Wenjun, you are responsible for the follow-up recruitment and the affairs of the city. Remember, you must mobilize the people as soon as possible and tell them that they don't need to fight, they just need to build momentum! In addition, you can add some bounty money appropriately. ”

"The lower official understands, please rest assured." Xia Houlan replied respectfully.

"The rest of you, come with me to Wenxi. Now let's go down and get ready, and after a cup of tea, let's go immediately! Lu Bu stood up and said loudly.

"No!" Everyone shouted in response, and then quickly left the county guard mansion to prepare.
