In July of the fifth year of Jian'an, the first batch of thunderbolt trucks transported from Chang'an arrived in Guandu. The envoy of Chang'an, www.biquge.info pen "Fun", told Cao Cao that a large number of thunderbolts would be sent one after another, and Cao Cao received the blueprints of the thunderbolts sent by Lu Bu.

Seeing that Lu Bu sent the complicated thunderbolt car to Guandu, Cao Cao finally believed that Lu Bu had the intention to help him. Lu Bu can't help it, since Yuan Shao's high turret needs a thunderbolt, and strategic weapons such as thunderbolts and heavily armored knights are easy to imitate, Cao Cao should know these things, and he can imitate them sooner or later, it is better to show great generosity and exchange the population from Yanzhou, and Lu Bu is not to support Cao Cao for free, a thunderbolt in exchange for a thousand people.

Lü Bu also had another meaning, he took advantage of the opportunity to send baggage one after another, and mixed some soldiers into Xuchang to prepare for the interception of the fruits of Cao Cao's victory.

"Boom...... Prosperous. ”

Cao Cao got the blueprints of the thunderbolt and rushed to build it overnight. Hundreds of thunderbolts were distributed within the camp wall, facing the well fence on the dirt hill. The generals of the Cao army gave an order, and there was a roar of the sky and the earth cracking, and the stones covered the sky and the sun, and the sky was beaten indiscriminately. A raised oar and a well first shook, making a creaking sound of sore teeth. The well fell crookedly, gradually tilting, like a bamboo tube pouring beans, throwing down all the archers of the Yuan army above.

After a large wave of human rain, no one in the Yuan army dared to climb up the well and condescendingly fire arrows into Cao's camp. And Yuan Shao's army, which broke Gongsun Zhan's digging army, had just dug the tunnel under Cao Ying, and the water in the trench dug around Cao Ying overflowed, drowning Yuan Shao's digging army and annihilating the whole army.

The two armies are at a stalemate.

At the beginning of September, Lu Bu received news that Cao Cao had run out of ammunition and food, and the soldiers were tired, and Cao Cao wanted to abandon Guandu and retreat to Xuchang.

"As soon as the harvest was harvested, Cao Cao's grain and grass ran out, and even if he won this battle, it would be a miserable victory." When Lu Bu heard the news, his smile wrinkled together and his flesh were about to form a chrysanthemum. This is exactly what he wants to see, he has been slow to help either of the two, and Lu Bu is just waiting for the two to be exhausted.

"Isn't the lord worried about Cao Cao's defeat? If Yuan Shao defeats Cao Cao, at that time, the geographical advantages and people will all belong to Yuan Shao, and no one in the world will be able to compete with him. Xu Shu said worriedly, he had been urging Lu Bu to use Yuan Shao to assist Cao Cao from the flank. If it was Lu Bu in the past, he would have almost begun to wonder if Xu Shu was secretly with Cao Cao, but now Lu Bu is full of confidence in Xu Shu, he is there

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) He came to take refuge when he was most depressed, how could he betray him.

"Yuan Zhi doesn't have to worry, Cao Cao is not a person who admits defeat easily. I'm waiting for a fire, and when the fire starts, it's time for our army to send out its troops. ”

Wuchao burned Yuan Shao's army rations with a fire, and this fire also burned Yuan Shao's fortunes, which was the turning point of the victory of Cao and Yuan's two armies, and Lu Bu wanted to obtain the maximum benefit at the lowest cost.

"Ordered Zhang Liao, the governor of the northern army, to move closer to the north with the Tuntian army. At the same time, he secretly ordered Wei Yan, the governor of the southern army, to secretly increase troops to Wuguan, just waiting for the fire in the black nest, and once he got the news, he attacked at the same time. Now that the autumn harvest has passed, the soldiers of Lü Butuntian have also freed their hands, and he is ready to receive the fruits of victory. He not only wanted to attack and bring the state under his rule, but also to break through Xuchang.

The Chang'an army quickly assembled in the north, built ships in the north, prepared to force the Yellow River, attacked the Hexi army of Bingzhou, and directly took Jinyang, the seat of the state.

The dispatch of the Chang'an army, how can it not alarm the world, not to mention that Lu Bu has not deliberately concealed the dispatch of the northern army. The news reached Guandu, and Cao Cao convened his advisers overnight to discuss.

"There are no eggs under the nest. Chang'an is unstoppable on the surface, but it is like a rootless Ping, and it is even more anxious and unstable, Lu Bu's move is just worried that the prime minister's army will be defeated, and Yuan's original army will destroy the ancient and decay, sweeping the world, and Chang'an is powerless to resist. Therefore, although Chang'an and my Xuchang are hostile, now it is the autumn of cold lips and teeth, Lu Bu sees that my Xuchang is unfavorable, and wants to work together to break the enemy's ears, why should the prime minister worry? Dong Zhao touched his goatee, thinking that he had seen the overall situation very thoroughly.

"No, what Lu Bu is afraid of, the prime minister. Throughout the past two years, Lu Bu is also accustomed to opportunistic shortcuts, every time he uses soldiers, he mainly plays strange and risky, and Lu Bu even more respects strange skills and tricks to the army, and the craftsman has a transcendent status in Chang'an, and is not excluded, so it is not as good as the thunderbolt car that has beaten Yuan's army to a sparse sparse spot now, which is a sharp weapon that Lu Bu focuses on pounding. In terms of employing people, it is more extensive than the prime minister's meritocracy...... "Cheng Yu wanted to say that it was more excessive, the family rejected the children of the poor family, and Cao Cao reused Guo Jia and other children of the poor family, which had already caused the dissatisfaction of the family. It's just that Cheng Yu didn't dare to say it directly.

And Lu Bu went even further, appointing Cai Zhaoji, Huang Yueying, Wang Yi and other women to civil officials. Lu Bu said that he was a zero-hour worker on the surface, but these women had been in office for half a year, and the Chang'an government had no intention of deposing these women, so I am afraid that their temporary union would be very long

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) long, ten, twenty years...... This caused Cheng Yu, Chen Qun and other children of the family who looked at the door valve of the family to be seriously dissatisfied.

Cheng Yu continued: "Therefore, this is probably Lu Busheng's strategy to attack the west. In the dark, Lu Bu is afraid that he has already hoarded a large number of soldiers in Tongguan and is preparing to attack my Xuchang. ”

"What Zhong De said is a bit extreme." Yuan Jian took a sip of tea slowly before continuing: "If you want to talk about your understanding of Lu Bu, I'm afraid that no one knows Lu Bu better than me. Lu Bu was able to lay a foundation in Chang'an, which was completely caused by the dog jumping over the wall in a hurry and being forced by the prime minister. ”

"Is the ultimate sin still in the true senses?" Cao Cao's eyes widened, and a trace of murderous aura fluttered in his eyes, which made Yuan Lian shrink his neck in fright. Yuan Jian and Yuan Shao are clansmen, and he still surrendered to Cao Cao from Lu Bu's tent, his situation is very awkward, and it is difficult for the suspicious Cao Cao not to doubt his intentions. But he really hopes that Cao Cao can distinguish the overall situation, he surrendered to Lu Bu from Yuan Shu, and then joined Cao Cao, if he jumps again, his reputation will be worse than Lu Bu of the third family slave, this is not a celebrity is willing to accept, he would rather cut off his head to maintain the last trace of self-esteem of a celebrity.

The prime minister was angry, and he had no intention of doing so, just talking about things. Lu Buping's wish in life is nothing more than a hot kang for his wife and children, if it weren't for the prime minister's persecution too tightly, he wouldn't jump off the wall in a hurry. He is a reckless man who does not have much ideals, and at best, he is content as long as he has a place to stay. His life is only suitable for being a fierce general, but wisdom is not a good choice. Therefore, he thought that Lu Bu felt that he had nowhere to vote, and his greatest wish was not to dominate the world, but to find a foothold and prolong this life. In this dispute between the prime minister and Yuan Benchu, he thought that the last thing Lu Bu wanted to see was Yuan Benchu's victory, and what he hoped for was a delicate balance so that Chang'an would not fall, so he felt that he really wanted to help the prime minister defeat Yuan Benchu. ”
