Chapter 279: Who Sees Whom

Lu Peng rushed to the city of Yuyang with his rated 5,000 soldiers, and the troops were stationed at the south gate of Yuyang, and began to build the camp in an orderly manner and assemble his characteristic trebuchet.

Looking at the lifeless Yuyang City, Tian Feng stood behind Lu Peng and carefully reminded: "Xuande Gong's 30,000 troops and 50,000 people live at the west gate of Yuyang City, after all, we are all coalition forces, should we inform each other?" ”

In fact, the relationship between Lu Peng and Liu Bei is very awkward now.

According to the thinking of people at that time, whoever has a hard fist has the final say, at this time, Lu Peng is only 5,000 people, and there are no people, no matter how much he is called, that is, such a small lump, you can't claim to have any momentum.

But Liu Bei is not, he has 30,000 troops in his hands, 50,000 recruited people, and the chaos is simply overwhelming, claiming to be 200,000 horses, and people definitely have that confidence.

What's more, according to the original relationship, Lu Peng also served as a subordinate of Mr. Liu Bei under Liu Bei, no matter where he looked, Lu Peng should rush to Liu Bei's camp to meet and contact.

But there is an embarrassing problem here, when Liu Yan and Zou Jing left, Liu Yan in order to repay Lu Peng for the countless money he looted, so he jointly played Lu Peng as the captain of Youzhou, and at that time, he was almost out of breath and did not forget to do business, and he also accepted Lu Peng's money to buy officials, and officially canonized Lu Peng as the captain of Youzhou, which is justified.

Liu Bei threw himself into Liu Yu's subordinates and was named the Governor of Youzhou by Liu Yu, so that Lu Peng's official rank was one level higher than Liu Bei's, and according to the relationship between the upper and lower levels, he Liu Bei Liu Xuande should rush to Lu Peng's camp to meet Lu Peng.

As a result, there is an intricate relationship, and the two sides are awkwardly deadlocked here, Lu Peng does not go, Liu Bei does not come, and the so-called coalition army is useless.

"Anyway, to attack Yuyang City, we have to work together with Xuande Gong, Yuyang City is high and deep, and the traitor Zhang Ju will withdraw all the other troops on the periphery to the city to defend it, with our only 5,000 men and horses, we can't attack it no matter what, and we have to rely on Liu Xuande's 80,000 horses, so my subordinates think that the lord still has to put down his identity and go to see Liu Xuande, and it is important to defeat Yuyang." Tian Feng persuaded Lu Peng bitterly.

In fact, this coalition army, the stakes of attacking Yuyang, Lu Peng is not unaware, but at this time, Tian Feng is an upright and honest person, so he persuaded Lu Peng that if Xu Jie stood here, Xu Jie would never persuade Lu Peng to go to see Liu Xuande first, and would also encourage Lu Peng to resolutely hold the shelf. This is the psychological difference between the two think tanks under Lu Peng.

In normal times, in order to make a good impression on outsiders, Lu Peng would definitely go to Liu Bei in advance to offer courtesy and pull relationships. But not at this time, because this is a special situation, a special period, and Lu Peng is definitely not allowed to put down his body.

This time, Liu Yu came over and took Liu Bei with him, in fact, he was taking his own team, in fact, he wanted to deprive Lu Peng of his military power, especially in the arrangements before this war, Liu Yu clearly told Lu Peng to let him recruit 5,000 soldiers, not to mention the grain and grass salary, these things let her raise by herself.

On the other hand, Liu Bei, Liu Yu did not hesitate to put down his body and begged those wealthy families in Youzhou to donate a large amount of money and food to Liu Bei, and ordered him to recruit 30,000 troops as backing. Using Liu Bei, the purpose of completely controlling Youzhou has been revealed, and this is exactly the opposite of his fundamental goal of mastering Youzhou.

Lu Peng didn't go to see Liu Bei, just to let Liu Bei understand the upper and lower levels, just to let Liu Yu understand that you want to monopolize Youzhou, there is no door.

Glancing at Tian Feng, who was still following his mother-in-law and mother beside him, Lu Peng said lightly: "I won't go to Liu Bei to meet him, this is the overall situation at this time, Mr.'s wisdom lies in strategy, and my wisdom lies in tactics, we must despise the enemy strategically, but in tactics, we must pay attention to the enemy every step of the way, and the realization of strategy is the accumulation of correct tactics, which is very crucial." ”

Faced with the absolutely correct judgment, Tian Feng had no choice but to shut up.

In Liu Bei's big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Bei asked his Chinese army master with an indifferent face: "Hasn't Han Qiang sent someone over to contact him?" ”

The head of the Chinese army replied respectfully: "Not yet." ”

Liu Bei, who was plain on the surface, was very anxious in his heart, who would visit whom first between himself and Lu Peng? This is already related to the question of who has the final say in this Youzhou, this is a matter of principle, I must not take a step back, as long as I take this step, from now on, I have to succumb to Lu Peng's body, and if I want to turn over, it is more than ascending to the sky.

Zhang Fei doesn't know the twists and turns, he is a straightforward person, in his simple head, Liu Bei is Lu Peng's eldest brother Guan Zhang, Li Peng should rush over to meet him. If he doesn't come, it is absolute contempt for Liu Bei and disrespect for the elders and children. So in the middle of the big tent, he roared again and again: "Mr. Lu is too much, obviously he has led the army to the south gate of Yuyang, but he didn't come to see the eldest brother, there is no distinction between the old and the young." ”

The more he talked, the more angry he became, he flicked his sleeves violently, and strode towards the outside of the tent: "I'll pull that kid Lu Peng to see the eldest brother now." ”

Guan Yu was proud, and he also thought that Lu Peng should come over to meet Liu Bei. However, a proud person is not the same as stupidity, he knows the stakes here, if his third brother really goes to Lu Peng's camp and forcibly pulls Lu Peng over to visit, maybe Lu Peng will be annoyed and angry, and the relationship between the four of them will be completely broken, which is very unfavorable for everyone to work together in the future.

So Guan Yu took a step forward and grabbed the reckless Zhang Fei: "Third brother, slow down." ”

Zhang Fei shook Guan Yu's hand and said indignantly, "Second brother, I'll go to find that Lu Peng to ask for an explanation, why are you stopping me?" ”

Guan Yu said helplessly: "The third brother's idea is too simple, now the displacement of people, Mr. Lu is no longer the gentleman we were when we started the incident, he is now the captain of Youzhou, in principle, he should control the military power of the entire Youzhou." Then he lowered his voice, but Liu Bei could hear it clearly: "We are actually within his jurisdiction, according to the principles of officialdom, we should indeed visit him first and accept his command." ”

This is said to Zhang Fei, in fact, the main thing is to say it to Liu Bei, although Guan Yu knows that even if Liu Bei hears it, he may not be able to implement it, but Guan Yu really doesn't want to see such a thing as his brother crossing the wall.

Liu Bei pressed his hands on the table, looked at the empty table, and after being silent for a while, he raised his head and said to the angry Zhang Fei: "Third brother, listen to your second brother, don't be reckless." ”

"But I'm unwilling."

Liu Bei waved his hand lightly and looked at Guan Yu.
