Tao Qian felt that Chen Jue was reasonable, so he did not move, on the one hand, he sent a letter to support He Xian's expedition against the traitor Yuan Shu, and on the other hand, he actively prepared for a possible surprise attack by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was very depressed, if He Xian and Yuan Shu started a big scuffle, Cao Cao could find a reason to attack Tao Qian and occupy Xuzhou. After owning the three states of Yan, Qing and Xu, Cao Cao can truly become a predator on an equal footing with He Xian and Yuan Shao. Now, He Xian and Yuan Shu suddenly ceased fighting, and Cao Cao had to press the front of his troops and wait for the opportunity.

Compared with Cao Cao's depression, Lu Bu is directly blinded by the rhythm. Before the armistice between He and Yuan, Lu Bu was a fragrant glutton, Yuan Shu wanted to curry favor with him, and He Xian also wanted to win him over. Lu Bu sat on the wall and watched, which was the purpose of "snipe and mussel competing for fishermen and profit". If He Xian beats Yuan Shu ruthlessly, Lu Bu can choose to send troops to help He Xian, take advantage of the situation to occupy all of Yuzhou, and completely drive Yuan Shu's forces out of Yuzhou; You can also choose to help Yuan Shu, send troops to threaten the back of the Nanyang army, help Yuan Shu continue his life, and take advantage of the situation to ask for more benefits. Now Yuan Shu has not waited for the mountains and rivers to be exhausted, so he took the initiative to sue for peace and directly sold Lu Bu to He Xian. In other words, Lu Bu has changed from a "fisherman" from a bystander to a "mussel" in "Sandpiper and Clam Competition"! With Yuan Shu, the leading party, leading the way, even if Lu Bu wanted to gather the troops of various counties and counties in Yuzhou to fight to the death with the Nanyang army, it would not be an easy task.

"Gongtai, the matter has come to this, where should our army go?" In Yingchuan County, in the county guard mansion of Yangzhai County, Lu Bu asked the middle-aged man under the seat with an embarrassed expression.

The man's surname is Chen Minggong, the character Wentai, and he is a native of Dongwuyang, Dongjun. Straightforward and resourceful, he made friends with well-known people at home and abroad when he was young. Cao Cao put Liu Dai under house arrest, and during his reign in Yanzhou, Chen Gong and Bian Rang and other Yanzhou celebrities tried their best to rescue Liu Dai. Finally, he contacted Liu Biao and Lu Bu from Chang'an, rescued Liu Dai, and reoccupied Yanzhou. But later, because Cao Cao and Tao Qian joined forces, Lu Bujun was finally defeated. Chen Gong suggested that Lu Bu and Liu Biao offer the jade seal of the country to Yuan Shu, in exchange for the shelter of Yingchuan County, Yuzhou, and are now the chief strategists under Lu Bu's account.

Prior to this, Chen Gong had advised Lü Bu not to be a bystander, but to take advantage of the situation to agree to the canonization of the imperial court, accept the position of state pastor, and help the Nanyang army attack Yangzhou Yuan Shu. Because Chen Gong was more optimistic about the strength of the Nanyang Army, he thought that Lu Bu had already hugged He Xian's thigh when his strength still existed. After all, the emperor is now in the hands of He Xian. But Lu Bu did not take Chen Gong's opinion. Whether it is Lu Bu or Liu Biao, they have an old enmity with He Xian. The two escaped from Chang'an City because they didn't want to work with He Xian. In other words, he didn't want to be He Xian's subordinate and didn't want to obey him. Now that they are going around and returning to He Xian's command, the two of them can't get over their faces. So, they took what they thought was a safer way and wanted to be "fishermen". Balance the strength between He Xian and Yuan Shu as much as possible.

Well, now the truth is that the two of them have been slapped in the face. Yuan Shu turned his face and became He Xian's leading party, and Lu Bujun had to face the Nanyang army's soldiers.

Under Lu Bu, there are 5,000 Xiliang cavalry brought over from Chang'an, and 50,000 Yuzhou soldiers under his command handed over by Yuan Shu. The 5,000 Xiliang cavalry are all veterans, elite, and powerful. But the 50,000 Yuzhou soldiers ...... Under the leadership of the former Yuzhou Mu Kongling, the combat power is slightly stronger than that of ordinary people. After Lü Bu took over, he eliminated the old and weak, trained the young and strong, and left half of the available soldiers, that is, 25,000 Yuzhou foot soldiers. 25,000 people were laid off, and some of them were placed by Chen Gong in the counties under Yingchuan County, and became county soldiers; The other part directly followed the example of the Nanyang Army and opened up the wasteland.

In other words, Lu Bu's current direct combat power is 30,000 foot cavalry. Although the personnel has been reduced, the combat power has more than doubled compared with the previous more than 50,000 people. But Rao is like this, if he wants to face the all-out attack of the Nanyang army, Lu Bu is also beyond his strength.

Chen Gong stroked the long beard under his chin, frowned and said, "Yuan Highway is completely unable to be relied on!" But there are still 30,000 soldiers under the general's command, and surrendering to He Xian and being loyal to the imperial court is still the best strategy now! It's just that with the previous allegiance, it is possible that the general will continue to be in charge of the army and shepherd one side. Now that it is effective, He Xian will have concerns in his heart. But as long as you sincerely ask for surrender, whether it is a general, a general, a general, or a state pastor, you can get preferential treatment, and it should not be a problem to rank in Jiuqing. ”

The general in Chen Gong's mouth is naturally Lu Bu. Before Lü Bu fled Chang'an, he was a general of Fenwu personally appointed by the Han Emperor; In order to curry favor with him, Yuan Shu made him the general of Pingxi and the pastor of Yuzhou in Dacheng; In order to win him over, He Xian did not revoke the title of general of Lu Bufen, but instead added him to the position of state pastor. And the state, now most of the area is under Yuan Shao's jurisdiction, He Xian's move is actually to disgust Yuan Shao.

The Sikong in Chen Gong's mouth is the clan relative Liu Biao. After Liu Biao stole the jade seal of the country, he was revoked by the Han Emperor from the position of the third duke, and now Liu Biao does not have any official position. To put it bluntly, in addition to possessing the identity of Lu Bu's father-in-law, Liu Biao is a flat-headed commoner. Chen Gong called it Sikong, but it was just to show respect.

And the state pastor in Chen Gong's mouth is Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai. Liu Dai's official position as a state pastor was appointed by the edict of the Han Emperor, as evidenced by the black and white letters, and after He Xian welcomed the Han Emperor to Nanyang, he did not revoke Liu Dai's position as the Yanzhou pastor. But it's a pity that Liu Dai's strength is not good, and he found Lu Bu as a helper, but he still couldn't beat Cao Cao, and was driven out of Yanzhou, and finally went to Yuzhou with Lu Bu and Liu Biao. After this series of blows, Liu Dai has already confessed, completely seen his strength clearly, and is willing to take a back seat and no longer participate in the great cause of competing for hegemony in the world. He is a member of the Han family, and as long as he does not die, the ordinary princes will treat each other with courtesy. With his identity and fame, Liu Dai can live the second half of his life without worrying about food and clothing. Therefore, when Chen Gong suggested that Lü Bu surrender to He Xian, that is, to surrender to the Han Emperor, Liu Dai was in favor. He's had enough days of fear. Hearing that his nephew, the current emperor Liu Xie, was living well in the palace of Wancheng in Nanyang, Liu Dai was envious in his heart. But in the current Lu Bu army, Liu Dai has no right to speak. He couldn't kill the enemy when he got on the horse, he couldn't calm the people when he got off the horse, and he couldn't talk about those strategists, and he couldn't give any constructive advice. To put it nicely, he is Lu Bu's guest; To put it mildly, he relied on the experience of sharing power in Yanzhou with Lu Bu, and now Lu Bu is eating in the army.
