There are a lot of recruits under the command of the King of Jin, and there are more recruits in the army under the command of the princes, and they are more frequent than Lu Bu in the replacement of soldiers, which is also the disadvantage of the princes in the army.

"The Ming and Japanese meetings were presented to the saints, and the daughter of Lu Bu was named the lord of Qingyang, and then Gongda went to Chang'an as an envoy to buy as many war horses and blades as possible." Cao Cao said.

"Whoa." Everyone said in unison, but there was a little loneliness between the voices, from Lu Bu's direct appointment of his daughter Lu Lingqi as the lord of Qingyang, it can be seen that Lu Bu did not put the imperial court in his eyes at all, and the same is true for Jiangdong, after Sun Quan inherited the throne of King Wu, he did not ask the court for instructions, and Sun Ce was the same at the beginning.

The imperial court did not have much influence among the princes, all because Lü Bu's strength was too strong, and it would be a great problem for the Jiangdong Army to stand on Lü Bu's side.

After everyone left, Cao Cao left Xun You behind, and he asked Xun You to go to Chang'an, not only to celebrate and buy war horses and blades, but also to strengthen the alliance with Lu Bu, and it is best to maintain the alliance between the two sides before the start of a new round of war.

Cao Cao's most urgent thing now is to seize Jingzhou, and after it is stabilized, he will be able to form the strength to confront Lu Bu, the territory under Lu Bu's rule is too large, but Liangzhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou are all barren lands, and only Jingzhou can compare to the prosperity of two states, at such times, Cao Cao does not want to start a war with Lu Bu.

Once the war began, it meant that Cao Cao would not only face the army under Lü Bu, but also face the threat from the Jiangdong army, which would not easily give up the opportunity to seize Jingzhou.

Cao Cao's current situation is also worrying, but Cao Cao is confident that he will protect his territory.

Cao Cao has a guess about Lu Bu's next move, Yizhou captured Ba County last year, and Yizhou's geographical location is extremely important, if Lu Bu captures Yizhou, it will be of great help to improve the strength of his rule, and Liu Bei in Yizhou will form a big deterrent to Chang'an.

In Cao Cao's plan, it is to push Lu Bu to attack Yizhou, as long as Lu Bu can't get out of the war in Yizhou, he can calmly clean up Sun Quan.

Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is extremely difficult for Lu Bu to break through Yizhou, and if the war is stalemate, it is better for Cao Cao.

It's not that Cao Cao is unwilling to help Liu Bei, but that he can't help, and he needs Lu Bu's support.

"After Gongda went to Chang'an, he should try his best to persuade the King of Jin to be able to form an alliance with the Cao army, if it can be done, he will not bother with the matter of the King of Jin's attack on Yizhou." Cao Cao said.

Xun You's eyes tightened, he knew that this sentence was the main purpose of his trip to Chang'an, and this matter was very difficult, Jiangdong and Lu Bu had a close relationship, and similarly, Lu Bu also knew the necessity of Jiangdong's existence, with the Jiangdong army in Jingzhou, Cao Cao did not dare to easily mobilize Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, this situation has a great advantage for Lu Bu.

Among Lu Bu's neighbors, Cao Cao's strength is the most powerful, if Lu Bu's attack on Yizhou can be supported by Cao Cao, it will be easier to break through Yizhou, presumably Lu Bu can also understand this.

This time, no matter what, the situation is extremely favorable for Lu Bu, unless Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan can unite to attack Chang'an, if any of them fight against Lu Bu alone, there will be no good results.

Chang'an City is very lively, the war horses from the horse farm, is sent in a steady stream, since the Baibo Valley received the order, there has been no stop to build the divine glass, blades, among these blades, it is also a hundred steel, when the envoys of the princes go to Chang'an, what is needed is a hundred steel blades, and the rest of the blades are relatively small in demand.

This time, it was Zhao Yun who was responsible for the safety of Chang'an, who led 5,000 soldiers and horses to maintain order in Chang'an and ensure the safety of Chang'an.

There are ten vermilion boxes in Lu Bu's mansion, which are telescopes made by the craftsman's workshop and sent to Chang'an, such things, Lu Bu does not plan to take them out for the time being, and there will inevitably be detailed works of princes in the army, and some things can only be kept secret in order to play a surprise role on the battlefield in the future.

Chang'an Mansion is also extremely busy, Lu Bu attaches great importance to Lu Lingqi's marriage, and they naturally have to do their best to make this marriage grand.

After Lu Bu came to Chang'an Mansion, he got the news of Qin Tian's return.

Since the end of the war in Liangzhou, Qin Tian was ordered by Lu Bu to go to Yizhou, and the main purpose was to find out the situation in Yizhou as much as possible.

After seeing Qin Tian, Lu Bu could obviously feel that Qin Tian was more energetic than before, the war in Liangzhou was calm, Qin Tian played a big role, and he enjoyed the treatment of Taishou in his position, and he was getting closer and closer to Wang Yue, mainly because Wang Yue was injured last time, recuperating in Chang'an, and did not follow the army to Liangzhou, if he could play an important role when Lu Bu attacked Yizhou, Qin Tian's status would be higher improved.

Qin Tian doesn't value it or something, what he needs is to improve his status in front of Lu Bu, and now Lu Bu has unified the north, and under Lu Bu's policy, the north will become more and more stable, if Yizhou can be included in the palm, the Central Plains will occupy a greater advantage.

"Commander Qin, I don't know how the matter in Yizhou is going?" Lu Bu asked with a smile, judging from Qin Tian's performance, he had no dissent.

Qin Tian arched his hand and said: "Lord, my subordinates have figured out the road to Yizhou, but this road is relatively steep and narrow, and it is difficult to allow a large number of soldiers and horses to pass by, but as a surprise attack on the Sword Pavilion, it can still be done, the guard of the Sword Pavilion is Cao Bao, the daughter of Cao Bao had married Liu Bei before, but after the fall of Xuzhou, Liu Bei's family fell into the hands of Cao Cao." ”

Lu Bu nodded slightly, he knows these things, Liu Bei's family fell into the hands of Cao Cao, how could he get any good results, in history, Cao Cao had a great interest in his wife, for this, Liu Bei probably also knows, but Liu Bei obviously doesn't care about his family, as long as the soldiers under his command are still there.

"The Sword Pavilion is dangerous, and it is difficult to make a surprise attack, but the defenders of the Sword Pavilion are obviously a little lax." Qin Tiandao.

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this, "Commander Qin, the Sword Pavilion is very important to Yizhou, and Cao Bao is a famous general in the Xuzhou army back then, so he can't be confused, if he attacks Yizhou, the stakes are very high, as long as the army of Chang'an is dispatched, the world will fall into war again." ”
