Although Yuan Shao is seriously ill, he is not dead after all, although Yecheng is full of tension, but whether it is Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang, both sides tacitly chose to block the news and did not disclose the matter to the outside world, but the paper can't contain the fire after all, and the news of Yuan Shao's serious illness was still detected by Cao Cao's spies.

Xuchang, Caofu.

"Now, the lord should slow down his attack on Lu Bu and secretly accumulate troops in the Liyang area, Yecheng, I am afraid that something will happen soon!" Guo Jia's face became rare and solemn: "This battle is about the number of the main public fortune, and it is also about the situation in the world!" ”

Although there is no clear evidence to prove it, all kinds of clues make Guo Jia keenly smell a trace of tension unfolding in Yecheng, which is rapidly being promoted to the entire Jizhou and even Youzhou and Qingzhou.

"Why is Bonghyo so sure?" Cao Cao frowned and looked at Guo Jia.

Uniting Yuan Shao to eliminate Lu Bu was a plan that everyone agreed to at the beginning, but now, Guo Jia's statement is obviously to overturn the previous decision and change Cao Cao's strategy, this is not a joke, if at this time, Cao Cao chooses to shrink his forces and shift his focus to He. North, then Lu Bu is likely to take the opportunity to press up, if the news from Yecheng is a smoke bomb, then Cao Cao will fall into a disadvantageous situation, and face the threat of Lu Bu and Yuan Shao at the same time.

"Because of this!"

Guo Jia handed a letter to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao took it and saw that it was Chang'an's intelligence, and couldn't help but look at Guo Jia suspiciously, what does this have to do with Chang'an?

"Lu Bu, I haven't been seen in Chang'an City for seven days." Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao and said seriously: "Although Chang'an has always been nominally under the banner of Lu Bu, Lu Bu attaches great importance to the people's livelihood, according to the information collected in the past two years, as long as he is in Chang'an, he will always appear every day, or go to Chang'an Mansion, or the military camp, but now, he has not appeared for seven consecutive days, I am afraid it is ......"

"Hiding from the world?" Xun Yu glanced at Guo Jia and made a summary for him.

"Yes, hide from the world!" Guo Jia nodded, his eyes flashing with a strange smoothness: "I have been checking the information of Guan Yu'an, Bingzhou, Luoyang and even the Western Regions of Hetao these days, and there has been no obvious change in the soldiers and horses everywhere, but there is one thing, have you paid attention to it?" ”

"Feng Xiao, don't sell Guanzi again." Xun You shook his head and glared at Guo Jia dissatisfied.

"About two months ago, Lu Bu mobilized a large number of slaves into Bingzhou, and the number was at least 50,000!." Guo Jia looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Do you remember the slave soldiers that Lu Bu used when he attacked Bingzhou last year?" ”

In the battle of Merge States last year, Lü Bu's main force had almost no casualties, but almost all of the tens of thousands of slave soldiers led by him when he set out on the expedition died on the battlefield.

"Feng Xiao is saying that Lu Bu wants to fight with these slaves?" Xun You suddenly gasped.

"Lu Bu must have a special reporting and reconnaissance force in his hands, and his intelligence may be more accurate than ours." Guo Jia nodded, looked at Cao Cao and said, "With the power of the tiger in the grassland, if he personally leads the troops and exerts a little favor, why worry about these slave soldiers not having to die?" 50,000 slave soldiers, plus the soldiers and horses of the state and Hetao, once launched, the sky will inevitably fall apart, the lord, maybe Lu Bu is ready to enter the army and merge the state, and he must not hesitate any longer, otherwise he will lose the first move, and if Lu Bu intercepts the opportunity, my army is afraid that in the next few years, there will be another battle of Guandu. ”

"Bonghyo may be sure?" Cao Cao's face finally became serious.

"I can't be completely sure, but Lu Bu is a gambler, he has a unique strategic vision, starting from the defeat of Xuzhou, almost every shot, there will be huge benefits, in just two years, the world has been laid down today, has become a big enemy that the lord can not ignore, although I don't know the specific details, but Jia is sure that Lu Bu has information in his hands that we don't know, if I expect it to be good, at this moment Lu Bu, I'm afraid he is already in Bingzhou, looking at Jizhou."

Xun Yu and Xun You looked at Cao Cao, at this time, the role of the strategist was no longer enough to control the situation, and it was Cao Cao who really had to make a decision.

Taking a deep breath, Cao Cao was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "Order Xiahou Yuan to rush to Yangwu immediately, order Zang Ba to swallow Taishan, Xu Chu, pass my order, order Yu Ban and Xu Huang to order their troops and horses to prepare for the expedition!" ”

"Whoa!" A dull voice came from outside the door.

Guo Jia and Xun Yu's uncle and nephew glanced at each other, they could see the solemnity in each other's eyes, they were betting, what Guo Jia said was indeed just his own speculation, but once Guo Jia's speculation came true, if they hesitated here, I am afraid that it would be as Guo Jia said, Lu Bu seized the opportunity, once Jizhou and Youzhou were obtained by Lu Bu, then Lu Bu's prestige was more terrifying than Yuan Shao in the past.

At that time, even Cao Cao will not be able to stop Lu Bu's pace, and for a long time in the future, he will fall into a pattern of two heroes standing side by side, the longer this pattern lasts, the more unfavorable it will be to Cao Cao, because Lu Bu has almost no worries, and Cao Cao, while fighting with Lu Bu, also has to guard against Jiangdong and Jingxiang in the rear, but there is a bad pool, and Cao Cao is the realm of enemies on all sides!

But if Guo Jia's prediction is wrong, Cao Cao's approach will inevitably lead to the deterioration of the Yuan Cao alliance, and the two sides already have a mustard, in that case, it is likely to lead to Lu Bu and Yuan Shao joining forces, even if they do not join forces, it will be difficult for Cao Cao to gain an advantage in the process of fighting with the two sides.

……

Taihang Mountain, the old camp of Montenegro in the past, has now become a temporary garrison for Lu Bu, 50,000 Huns and Xianbei people with a desire for freedom after learning that Lu Bu as their main general, behaved quite peacefully, nomads rarely have racial concepts, who is strong with whom, Lu Bu is undoubtedly the strongest of the strong, Feng Wolf Juxu, in addition to making a few Xianbei and Huns hate Lu Bu to the bone, more grassland people, Lu Bu is a kind of awe from the bones.

Of course, awe does not mean that they are willing to be slaves and live a life that is inferior to livestock, so they resisted, they rioted, even if Xu Rong sacrificed the butcher's knife many times, it did not eliminate the enthusiasm for freedom in their bones, this time, Lu Bu provided them with a chance, a chance to break away from slavery and become Han Chinese.

In this era, being able to become a real Han is a good choice for many grassland men, after all, people go to high places, and the precarious life on the grassland is comparable to the comfort of the Han people, so this time, under the deterrence of Lu Bu, these slaves did not think about resisting at all, and they only thought about killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions and becoming real warriors under Lu Bu.

"Wenhe, now I'm more sure of my judgment." Standing in Taihang Mountain, Lu Bu can more truly feel the changes in Yuan Shao's luck, in the past few days, Yuan Shao's luck has been losing violently, but the other two luck is growing, and growing: "Yuan Benchu, I'm afraid I won't be able to last this month." ”

Looking at the sky, Lu Bu said lightly.

Jia Xu and Li Ru stood behind Lu Bu, they didn't understand where Lu Bu came to this conclusion, but it was obvious that Lu Bu had secrets that they couldn't understand, so that Lu Bu made such a judgment.

It's just that for Lu Bu, how can luck be as simple as the people's heart?

"If Yuan Shao is about to die, Jizhou may fall into division!" Jia Xu didn't understand luck, but he gave his own objective evaluation, if what Lu Bu said was true, then according to the information collected these days, Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan and third son Yuan Shang would inevitably have a conflict because of the succession.

"It's just that if the lord sends troops at this time, I'm afraid that Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang will join forces to fight against the lord, has the lord ever thought about this?" Jia Xu turned his head and looked at Lu Bu.

"So, this battle is a surprise." Lu Bu smiled confidently, naturally understanding what Jia Xu meant: "Although the chance is not big, I still want to give it a try before Cao Mengde reacts. In the north, he achieved the position of the overlord of the north and ruled across the river from Cao Mengde. ”

Looking at Jia Xu's worried look, Lu Bu smiled: "Even if it doesn't work, with our main force here to contain the Yuan family and Cao Cao, it will be much easier for Wenyuan to attack Youzhou." ”

This time it is not only Lu Bu all the way, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Wei Yan, Ma Chao, Pang De, almost all the generals under Lu Bu have been dispatched this time, if the direction of Luoyang can contain Cao Cao's large number of troops, then the battle of Jizhou will be much easier.

In fact, Lu Bu has rarely fought head-on, and almost all of them have been unexpected battles, after all, Lu Bu has been self-made since Xuzhou, and he has a little family background, so he can only choose to play with a small and broad style, if he chooses to fight head-on in every battle, not to mention that there are only a few hundred people in Lu Bu's hands at the beginning, even if there are really thousands of troops and horses, so there are only a few left, let alone create this huge country and become the overlord of the land of Sanzhou, can even be ranked with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who are the most powerful, and become one of the three heroes in the north.

It's just that......

Jia Xu frowned slightly, this kind of adventurous spirit did allow Lu Bu to gain a firm foothold step by step, and every time he won huge benefits for Lu Bu, but in the same way, risks and benefits are often the same, now Lu Bu is already a prince, the overlord of the world, which is not the same as Lu Bu when he started from scratch at that time, at that time Lu Bu was so little bit of a family, even if the bottle lost, he could afford to lose again, but now, when Lu Bu became a prince, this adventurous spirit became a disadvantage, even if he lost a game, It is also a huge blow to Lu Bu's prestige, and it is difficult to maintain the invincible image of the past.

opened his mouth, but in the end Jia Xu didn't say it, maybe the lord had noticed this. (To be continued.) )
