On the twenty-first day of the first month of the third year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, early this morning, Lu Bu packed up and prepared to set off.
This time he left Jiuyuan and left Bingzhou, but he was going to participate in the alliance of the princes of the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and the location was in Jizhou, Yuan Shao's sphere of influence.
This time the alliance was initiated by Cao Cao, and the location of the alliance was naturally proposed by him first, Yuan Shao had no reason to oppose this, and then everyone agreed, it seemed to be just a construction yì In the end, it seemed to be a decision made by him Cao Cao, which made Lu Bu have to praise this Cao Cao's methods can be described as perfect, and he is much worse than him.
The contradiction between Yuan Shao and Lu Bu is known to the world, and Cao Cao naturally will not be unaware, and now Lu Bu is likely to become one of Cao Cao's important allies in the alliance.
One is that this is a temptation for Lu Bu, as long as Lu Bu dares to go to the meeting alone, then there is naturally no doubt about what Cao Cao said to the princes of the world before, Lu Bu can join the alliance on this, and no one can have any objections, which will only cause the world to laugh, and Lu Bu with this courage is enough to enter his Cao Cao's eyes, and even be feared; The second is also a test for Yuan Shao, to see if he can suppress the hatred in his heart and not make a move on Lu Bu, to see where the bottom line in his heart is, and to see if he will risk the world's disapproval. is willing to make a fool of himself in front of the princes, lose face, and even lose the opportunity to compete for the leader of the alliance, and kill Lu Bu.
Lu Bu knew this, and he was very dissatisfied that he seemed to have become a pawn again, but he had to go, in short, Cao Cao was all a yang conspiracy, whether it was Lu Bu or Yuan Shao, they could only choose one of them, and no matter how they chose in the end, it was beneficial to Cao Cao.
If most of the people in the Dong Alliance were actually ghosts in the first time, but at that time, after all, the authority of the Han family had not been completely extinguished, and there were almost no princes who could really be called ambitious to win the championship, at most they became powerful ministers like Dong Zhuo, then this time it was different. So it seems that this time everyone has found common ground, and after learning the lessons of the previous time. It is inevitable that they will be more cautious and united, but this is only on the surface, and the contradictions inside are more intensified.
Not to mention the irreconcilable contradictions of the three major princes of Hebei, the irreconcilable contradictions between Sun Ce and Yuan Shu, etc. And the biggest beneficiary of this is probably Cao Cao. Because in fact he has not had a fierce and irreversible friction with any of the princes of the world. Even if the marriage with Sun Ce would make Yuan Shu dissatisfied, it would also make the latter jealous, at least the two sides have not had a head-to-head confrontation so far.
Of course, Cao Cao, with his unique charm and some scheming that is not excessive, really became the leader of the alliance. There will also be some troubles, in addition to ensuring the victory of the war against Dong Zhuo, we must also deal with the contradictions and disputes between the princes, otherwise it will be just another Yuan Benchu.
Although Lu Bu would be happy to see it in that way, he also knew Cao Cao's ability, so he really took the helm of the Princes' Alliance, and if Dong Zhuo was removed, I am afraid that no one in the world would be able to balance him.
It's just that nothing is as important as this alliance now, and even if you want to come up with any ideas, you have to wait until you go to this alliance.
Anyway, Jia Xu was just called back by him this time, and the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce were suspended, and he was also included in the travel team by Lu Bu, in addition to the entourage of military generals such as Dian Wei, Ayimu and Ji Zhao.
Not afraid of 10,000, just in case, with such a lineup, Lu Bu is confident that he can withdraw as soon as he finds something wrong, even if he is surrounded, it is not impossible to break through, and he will also contact those secrets who have been left behind when he entered Yecheng in Hebei last time, so that they can find out as much useful information as possible, and judge the danger through the analysis of Guò and Jia Xu along the way, and then make further plans.
Of course, along the way, I just had to pass through Shangdang County, and when the time came, I would have to discuss with Zhang Liao about sending troops to oppress Yuan Shao at the appropriate time, so that he would not dare to act rashly, and those people lurking in Wei County were also acting in secret, and they would also arrange a feasible back road for Lu Bu.
Of course, Lu Bu hopes that none of these will be used, otherwise he will be rejected by the princes of the Dong Alliance if he openly tears his face with Dong Zhuo first, and he will really become a person inside and out, which will be greatly detrimental to the future development.
……
"Feng Xiao thinks, will this Lu Fengxian come?"
Cao Cao stood next to a high platform, staring ahead with an expressionless face, but he was softly asking Guo Jia, who was one step behind him.
Guo Jia smiled slightly, "The lord already has the answer in his heart, so why bother asking?" ”
The expression on Cao Cao's face remained unchanged, but a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he also smiled: "Then Feng Xiao thinks that this Lu Feng came first, so what will Yuan Benchu do?" ”
"Is the lord nervous?"
Cao Cao's clenched hand immediately let go, pretending to be casual, and said: "How come, I just hope that Yiqiē can proceed as originally planned, and I don't want anything to go wrong. ”
Guo Jia shook his head and didn't delve into it, but he said in his heart: "I'm afraid this has something to do with that Lu Bu, what is the lord's attitude towards this Lu Fengxian, it doesn't seem to be as simple as it seems......"
Over there, Yuan Shao has already ascended the high platform, but as the host of this alliance, he wants to say something to welcome the princes and fellow believers, of course, he has no intention of getting involved in the position of the leader of the alliance, but it is inconvenient to be so obvious, so he can only use guò to test everyone's current perception and attitude towards him in this way.
This disappointed him, because he found that when he came to power, the reaction of the princes and the people was too different when Cao Cao, who had just been the initiator, came to power and read his edict and call for Dong for the first time.
The princes who want to participate are almost here, except for Lu Bu and Ma Teng, such as him Yuan Shao, Na Cao Cao, as well as Gongsun Zhan, Han Fu, Yuan Shu, Sun Ce and Yuan Yi and others have already come, and they are all in person.
Ma Teng must really not be able to come, after all, he is now under Dong Zhuo's soldiers in the city, and if the situation is critical, he can send a representative at most, and it is likely that he will be slaughtered by Dong Zhuo's people on the way, but Lu Bu is difficult to say, he has not expressed his position before, and there is no news of any movement in the state.
At this time, Yuan Shao was actually speculating whether Lu Bu would come this time, and he also knew very well that Cao Cao might not only bring Lu Bu over this time to disgust him in front of him, first, to further test him, and second, Lu Bu's joining was indeed useful for the enhancement of the entire alliance's power, after all, in this way, the alliance army, including Ma Teng in Liangzhou, was equivalent to encircling Dong Zhuo of Luoyang from three sides, if the people he sent to Jingzhou could persuade Liu Biao to join in, it would be surrounded on all sides, At that time, no matter how strong Dong Zhuo and his Xiliang army are, there is only one way to defeat.
Moreover, Lu Bu was the most powerful general under Dong Zhuo at the beginning, even if he left Luoyang for a year, he would still be able to provide them with a lot of useful information, in order to show his intentions, he must not have anything to hide, and combined with the news from their respective people in Luoyang, they can know themselves and know each other, and defeat Dong Zhuo is one step closer.
"It turns out that all the gentlemen arrived first, it seems that someone Lu missed the time and sued him!"
At this moment, a loud and majestic voice sounded in a piece of Huimeng land opened up in this Wei County.
Lu Bu arrived...... (To be continued......)
