Chapter 4 Yuan Shu's Scheme

"At present, Cao Mengde and Yuan Highway have started a war, and almost all the troops in Shouchun have been transferred to the front line by Yuan Shu, and the rear is empty, Lord, why don't we take this opportunity to take Runan, according to the land of Jianghuai, with the appeal of the Lord in the land of Jianghuai, heroes from all walks of life will inevitably gather. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "Dongyang County Yazhong, after a day of repair, a group of generals are in good spirits, gathered in the county government at this moment, discussing the next thing, Zhang Liao pointed to the map and said: "This Hefei area, almost no one guards, is a gift from God." ”

Gao Shun looked at the map silently, and did not speak, but Chen Gong was a little moved, looking up at Lu Bu, as Zhang Liao said, the land of Runan, at this moment is unprecedentedly empty, the previous several battles, almost scrapped the foundation that Yuan Shu had saved over the years, and now Cao Cao is attacking, Yuan Shu is almost doing his best to transfer all his troops to the north to resist Cao Cao, if Lu Bu is in trouble at this time, it will not take long to lay down a large area.

"In the territory of Runan, there are many old Yellow Turbans gathered in the mountains and forests, if the lord is willing, he is willing to go to lobby in person, with the prestige of the lord, within ten days, he can gather tens of thousands of people for the lord!" Guan Hai stood up, his eyes showing a little excitement.

Xiong Kuohai, Xu Sheng, Hao Zhao, and Chen Xing stood behind Lu Bu, they had just arrived and were not qualified to comment.

"Ziming, what do you think?" Lu Bu didn't give a direct answer, he turned his head to look at Gao Shun, who was silent, the three backbones under his command, and now only Gao Shun didn't speak.

Gao Shun looked at Lu Bu, then at Chen Gong and Zhang Liao, shook his head and said: "If we capture Runan, Yuan Shu will be defeated, General Guan, although he can gather the old Yellow Turbans, but tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans may block Cao Mengde's 100,000 male soldiers?" ”

"This ......" Guan Hai was stunned when he heard this, and finally shook his head with a wry smile, when the Yellow Turban was at its peak, tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops were chased and beaten by defeated officers and soldiers, and now these mountain kings who gather in the mountains and forests may be stronger than back then, but they are definitely not elite soldiers, how to compete with the elite of Cao Cao's southern and northern wars.

Gao Shun didn't say anything more, his meaning was already very clear, and he didn't support Lu Bu to gain a foothold here, of course, if Lu Bu finally decided to gain a foothold in Runan, he wouldn't object.

"That's not all." Seeing that Chen Gong still wanted to refute, Lu Bu continued: "From the topography point of view, Cao Cao in the north and south of Run, he will not want to see us make a comeback, and Sun Ce in the south, who had a grudge in Sheyang last time, if we gain a foothold here, we will definitely attack, although Liu Biao in the west has not moved for many years, I am afraid that he will not be willing to form an alliance with us." ”

"Enemies on all sides!" Lu Bu looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "And what's worse is that the people of Runan are war-weary after Yuan Shu's excessive exploitation, and if we want to gain a foothold here, we can't give them what they want. ”

This is the most fundamental contradiction, which cannot be reconciled, and people have decided that if Lu Bu wants to expand his ranks, he must expand the army and collect grain, and these are the things that Runan lacks the most at present.

When Chen Gong heard this, he sighed lightly, he was in a hurry, what he wanted to do most now was to let Lu Bu grow stronger as soon as possible, with the courage that Lu Bu showed now, as long as he could have a stable territory, he would compete in the world in the future, and there would be no chance of winning the championship, but what made him happy was that Lu Bu was now carrying Qing and was not blinded by the interests in front of him as before.

"My lord, there is a messenger from Yuan Shu outside the door who has come to ask for a meeting." At this moment, a soldier outside the door came in and bowed.

"It's coming pretty fast, bring him in." Lu Bu couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, he had only been in Dongyang for a day, and Yuan Shu had already gotten the news and sent someone to come.

Soon, a middle-aged man dressed as an official came in under the leadership of a soldier, and when he saw Lu Bu, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "The lower official has seen Wen Hou." ”

"Those who are down, don't do this great gift." Lu Bu waved his hand, and after Chen Gong and the others stood left and right, they looked at the officials and said, "I don't know what happened when General Hou sent you here?" ”

The latter general is the official position of Yuan Shu before he became the emperor, at this time, Lu Bu will be the officer in the future, and he also shows his position, although he is now down, he is still a Han general, and he does not recognize Yuan Shu as a pseudo-emperor.

The official laughed dryly, lowered his posture and said: "My Majesty heard the bad news of the fall of Xuzhou that day, and his heart was uneasy, and he couldn't sleep at night. ”

Event?

Lu Bu sneered in his heart, Yuan Shu is now difficult to protect himself, what big things are he talking about? Nodding his head, he said, "I don't know what's the big deal?" ”

The official said in a deep voice: "I don't know if Wen Hou wants to avenge the revenge of the past?" ”

"Alright." Lu Bu knocked on the table, shook his head and said: "What happened to Yuan Highway, I probably already know, Lu Mou's revenge, Lu Mou will avenge himself, Yuan Highway is now a dry bone in the grave, and I don't want to get on his shipwreck." ”

"Wen Hou thinks twice, my majesty sincerely invites ......"

"Even if he wants to serve me as the Lord, I don't want to accompany him to death, come, send guests!" Lu Bu snorted coldly and waved his hand.

The official wanted to say more, but Lu Bu's eyes swept over, and his heart trembled, so he could only sigh helplessly and retreat silently.

"It seems that Yuan Shu is now desperate." Watching the envoy leave, Chen Gong shook his head and sighed, if Yuan Shuken had come to his aid when Cao Cao attacked Lu Bu, he would not have ended up in today's field.

"From the day he became the emperor, Yuan Shu was already doomed." When Lu Bu heard this, he sneered, Yuan Shu's problem on the surface now is that he has no generals in his hands, except for a Ji Ling who is still supporting the faΓ§ade, it can almost be said that everyone is betraying their relatives, Lei Bo and Chen Lan would rather gather in the mountains and forests to be the king of the mountains than follow Yuan Shu, even if Lu Bu is willing to help him now, he can't avoid defeat.

"But the lord refuses Yuan Shu so simply, I'm afraid this person won't give up." Chen Gong said with a smile.

"Take care of himself first." Lu Bu couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, Yuan Shu still had extra energy to deal with himself, and he didn't need to be so anxious to come to him as soon as he settled in Dongyang.

Chen Gong was right to think about it, but in his heart, there was always a sense of worry.

At the same time, Lujiang, Shu County, Liu Xun's mansion.

"General Zitai, I haven't seen you for a few months, and the general's look is better than before." is also a middle-aged scribe, but this person is Yuan Shu's younger brother Yuan Yin, and he is one of the few cronies around Yuan Shu now.

"Mr. Shuli." Liu Xun looked at Yuan Yin and said with a wry smile: "If you come here for the matter of the general, Shu Xun can't help." ”

Yuan Yin smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this, but his face was impassive, and he shook his head and said: "I know the difficulties of Zitai, and I didn't come here this time for His Majesty's business, but for Zitai." ”

"Oh?" Liu Xun raised his eyebrows and looked at Yuan Yin in surprise: "What's the matter with me?" ”

"Zitai, do you remember that tiger Lu Bu?" Yuan Yin said in a deep voice.

"Naturally, I remember." Liu Xun nodded, Lu Bu made too much impression on him.

"Lu Bu has now arrived in Dongyang, and he will enter the Lujiang River in a few days." Yuan Yin said slowly: "For the sake of the general, it's better to prepare early." ”

"......" Liu Xun showed a look of surprise on his face, and then frowned: "What is he doing in my Lujiang?" ”

"Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao, lost Xuzhou, and now is missing a foothold, Runan is broken, the people's livelihood is withering, and Cao Cao's army is coming, on the other hand, Lujiang, the soldiers are full of food, the people are rich, and it is the first choice of the place, as long as you get here, Lu Bu can use this as a springboard and look at the land of Jiangdong."

"But I have no grievances with Na Lu Bu in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, why did he come to attack me." Liu Xun frowned.

"Zitai still remembers Liu Xuande?" Yuan Yin said with a smile: "In the past, Liu Xuande sat in Xuzhou, Lu Bu was poor and came to vote, Liu Xuande was very kind to Lu Bu, but what was the result?" Lu Bu is not grateful, but the wolf ambition, taking the opportunity to have more Liu Xuande's Xuzhou, Mo said that Zitai has nothing to do with that Lu Bu, even if he is gracious, this person's wolf ambition, now poor, may not covet the blessed land of Zitai, so to remind the virtuous brother, don't repeat Liu Xuande's mistakes. ”

Liu Xun nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you brother for telling me, Your Majesty's affairs are really powerless, since my brother came over in person, I can't let my brother go back empty-handed, and I am willing to fund 3,000 soldiers and horses, and I have also counted the righteousness of the past and His Majesty's monarchs and ministers." ”

"Your Majesty Yindai has thanked Brother Xian." Yuan Yin smiled and nodded, this not only made Liu Xun hostile to Lu Bu, but also won 3,000 soldiers and horses, but it was an unexpected joy.

Yuan Shu's plan is actually not complicated, now Lu Bu is no longer allowed in Xuzhou, now trapped in Dongyang, will inevitably try to make a comeback, Yuan Shu is preparing with both hands this time, while sending someone to invite Lu Bu to fight against Cao Cao with him, if Lu Bu does not allow, he will force Lu Bu into a desperate situation, Liu Xun is a card in Yuan Shu's hand, use Liu Xun to force Lu Bu, Lu Bu is lonely, and embattled, in the end he can only find Yuan Shu to help, as long as there is Lu Bu, the general helps, it will be much easier to deal with Cao Cao, with Yuan Shu's understanding of Lu Bu, I'm afraid they'll all opt in eventually.

It's a pity that Yuan Shu doesn't know that today's Lu Bu is no longer the Lu Bu of the past, and although his abacus is good this time, he may not be able to really get his wish.
