Chapter 660: Dark Scars, Who Belongs to the Three Prefectures (22)

The two families of Lu Cao set up a position on both sides of Jizhou, and the two families of 60,000 troops were noisy, but no one was willing to take a step forward in Jizhou.

In these years, everything is done in a righteous name. Cao Cao was originally planning with Cheng Yu, first leading troops into the country in the name of inspecting and annexing the state on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and then looking for an opportunity to use Liu Bei's vain departure from the territory and lead the troops to the name of "Kou Luo" Jizhou, and the right to carry out the expedition on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and wave his troops to attack the Huguan Pass and enter Jizhou. Taking over Jizhou in the name of expelling the second minister, everything can be logical, and everyone in the world knows Cao Cao's true purpose, at least in terms of legal system and procedures, there is no way to say a word.

It's just that the only difficulty in this matter is on Lu Bu's body. In order to appease Lü Bu, and at the same time to delay Lü Bu, Cao Cao, in the name of the new emperor, assigned Jizhou to Lü Bu's "sphere of influence". The original intention was to borrow the hand of Gongsun Zhan, the old enemy of the Yuan family, to slow down Lu Bu's southward movement and plot the pace of the six counties in Jiangdong. In fact, Cao Cao's plan was very successful. In addition to Cao Cao, there are also people who don't want Lu Bu to probe his tentacles to Hebei, only a battle outside the city, Lu Bu was killed by the villain, and he was poisoned by an arrow, and he almost whined! But before Cao Cao laughed out loud for his plan to work, who would have thought that Qin Xu would jump out and make trouble again, and Lu Bu, who was rumored by the world to be unkind and unkind, and Lu Bu, who was a wolf, was also very relieved of Qin Xu in military affairs, and he was very happy to entrust all the military power to Qin Xu, who was only a weak crown, except for the personal guard battalion and the city defense battalion. And this Qin Xu is also worthy of being the character who asked him to embroider his name on the bottom of the robe. In just over a year, two expeditions to Jiangdong. In fact, in addition to Jiujiang, all the five counties of Jiangdong are included in the bag, and it is an opportunity to change. Wave your troops into Jingzhou. If it weren't for the blessing of Cao Cao, Cai Mao's betrayal and like-mindedness, he sold all the three counties of Jingbei to him, the new owner, and it would be impossible to say that the entire Jingzhou would be occupied by Qin Xu. Originally, when Cao Cao saw this, he was anxious, and he was already interested in using Cheng Yu to plot and follow Wang Yun's example. I also want to design a way to divide the relationship between Lu Bu and Qin Xu, the two sons-in-law. After all, Lu Bu's childlessness is a hard injury, Qin Xu's speed is too fast, and now Lu Bu's military power is in Qin Xu's hands. Cao Cao compares his heart to his heart, if he is Lu Bu, Qin Xu will definitely not be able to stay.

But who expected that before the plan came to fruition, it was rumored that Lu Bu would be the eldest son of Qin Xu. The eldest son born to his beloved daughter Lu Lingqi was named Lu Chen. In the name of the eldest grandson, he entered the ancestral hall of the old Lu family. This matter is not a trivial matter in these years, as soon as he enters the ancestral hall, it is equivalent to recognizing Lu Chen's status as at least Lu Bu's first heir. In this way, the relationship between Lu Bu and Qin Xu, who could have made a big fuss, is useless at the moment. Whether it is the Son of Heaven or the people, the foundation has always been a continuation of the father's son's son's descendants, although Lu Chen has changed his name and surname. But after all, he is Qin Xu's eldest son, is it possible that there is still a reason for the father to take the eldest son from the world to the second son? Although others didn't know that Cao Cao knew the news. What did the tired Cao think after his clever plan was miscarried before it was formed, but since Cao Cao suddenly changed his previous prudent strategy against Lu Bujun, he did not hesitate to bear the infamy of destroying the alliance last time, but also showed his weapons to put the scramble for Jizhou on the bright side.

But having said that, Cao Cao still has some concerns! Now the situation in the world is gradually settled, and the five parties divide the world, only Cao Cao and Lu Bu have the greatest power, and the Han Dynasty has thirteen states, and the two have won nine of them. However, the forces in the northwest, central Sichuan, and Hebei are still there, and their strength cannot be underestimated because they have been recuperating for many years. Moreover, if the vitality of the two families of Lu Cao is greatly damaged due to the regeneration war in the Central Plains, it is really not easy to predict what will happen to the Han world in the future, who knows if there will be heroes rising up in the sky at that time? At that time, if someone picks up a bargain, and more than ten years of hard work to make a wedding dress for others, it will not be so happy.

Because of Cao Cao's concerns, although the army has reached the party, it has not dared to move lightly. First, the Huguan Pass is steep, there is a husband who is not open to the so-called, and the other is that Cao Cao knows his ability to guard the famous general Guan Yu of the Tiger Prison Pass, which is by no means comparable to ordinary passes. Even if he had 20,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 cavalry in his hands, Cao Cao would never waste his troops on the west gate of Jizhou. After all, compared to Cao Cao, the plain on which Lu Bu's army is based, although it is also a rare hilly terrain in Hebei, is not conducive to the cavalry to exert its combat power, but it cannot stand the east of Jizhou and there is no danger to defend, and there is also the Zhen family, the Hebei Erwuzai in Cao Cao's eyes, to report the news to Lu Bu at any time. With all these conveniences, if you add Lu Bu's bravery, the sharpness of the soldiers, and the "wisdom" of the hateful Qin, if you can't say it, there will be nothing to do with him Cao Cao. Cao Cao knew very well that the reason why Lu Bu had not moved lightly until now was also because of his reputation. After all, Jizhou is the place where Lu Bu, the general, ordered by the "Son of Heaven" to have the responsibility of "escrow", on the one hand, it has determined that Lu Bu's nominal control over Jizhou, but it also restricts Jizhou from being included in the bag like Qingzhou and Xuzhou, unless it is a rebellion in Jizhou, otherwise even if Lu Bu forcibly occupies Jizhou, he is not at a loss in terms of legal system, and even has a bad reputation. So Lu Bu must be waiting, as for what he is waiting for, Cao Cao is even more clear, different from Cao Cao, Liu Bei alone is far from enough for Lu Bu. With the subordinates of Jizhou, it is also determined that if Jizhou does not ask for help, Lu Bu will be fetters when he enters Jizhou, even if he succeeds in occupying Jizhou, it is not said that the people will not be attached, but if he Cao Cao is added, it will be different. As long as he Cao Cao fell into a bitter battle at Huguan, Lu Bu had every reason to enter Jizhou to save him. At that time, with Liu Bei's stupid child holding Cao Cao for Lu Bu, Lu Bu will have enough time to include Jizhou in his pocket, and he Cao Cao can only make a wedding dress tragically.

This must not be the case! How can this be?! Cao Cao is in a very depressed mood now. War is like playing chess, losing the first move often means that the chess is a bad move, and it is not as good as Lu Bujun's immobility and waiting for the opportunity. It's just that Lu Bu's army is in the plain, although it is separated from Qingzhou by the Yellow River, but the nearby Beihai is where the granary of Qingzhou is located, and it is only two days away from Linzi, which is only two days away. But Cao Cao is different, in the past, the Central Plains was the most war-torn, and now he has just recovered some vitality. Moreover, the state was originally based on Yuan Tan, although there were Xiahou Dun, Cao Chun and other garrisons here, but the heart of the officials under Yuan Tan has not yet been known, with Cao Cao's temperament, he will never hide such heavy weapons as military rations here, so the military rations used are all Xun Yu who stayed in Yuzhou from everywhere, and then unified from Xuchang to transport, in this way, although the road is all the inner border, the grain road is not lost, but there are often overstretched difficulties, hard resistance with Lu Bu's army to fight for supplies, it is really the next policy. This is a hard injury, that is, there is the wisdom of Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, and it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice, just for this, although Cao Cao has only been in the party for two days, but things are not going well, he is helpless for a while, and the corners of his mouth are blistering.

"My lord! General Cao Chun asks to see! Say it has important news in return! "Cao Cao is in Shangdang City for how to capture Huguan as quickly as possible, not so that Lu Bu can get a profit from it, but also on the premise that he can not tear his face with Lu Bu in advance, at least not because of his own reasons, and take Jizhou. I overheard the waiter coming to report that Cao Chun was asking to see him. Although Cao Chun was the deputy general sent by Cao Cao to Xiahoudun to train the cavalry, and at the same time he was responsible for rebuilding the establishment of the tiger and leopard cavalry that had been defeated in the past, but the most important task was to pay attention to the movements in Jizhou and Youzhou at Cao Cao's secret order. At the moment when Cao Chun, who was now looking for a plan on how to attack the hard bone of Huguan, came to see him, Cao Cao was anxious, and suddenly had some expectations in his heart.

"Let Zihe come in! Gongda and Zhongde also stayed to listen to what good news Zihe had sent to me. Cao Cao rubbed his aching forehead, smiled and motioned to Xun Yu, who was also staring at the marching map and frowning, to stay with Cheng Yu, and instructed the chamberlain.

"The last general will see the lord and see two gentlemen." It has been more than a year since the collapse of the tiger and leopard cavalry on that day, and Cao Chun, who was upright and brave in the past, has also gained a little more calm temperament because of his training. After greeting Cao Cao, Xun You, and Cheng Yu, he didn't need to say much, and said directly: "The lord, the last general will be ordered by the lord to monitor the movements of the Huguan day and night, in order to find the opportunity to break through the pass." This evening, Yuan Jiang, who captured a member outside the gate, said that there was an important situation to report to the lord! ”

"Yuan Jiang!? Huguan Yuan General? Cao Cao was stunned at first when he heard this, and then laughed: "God really wants to help me!" Bring them here! I want to ask in person! ”

This is really called drowsiness, someone sent a pillow. Let Cao Cao only feel that the head wind disease was half cured all of a sudden. The generals who can escape from the Huguan either have the know-how to enter and exit this Xiongguan, or they are the careful work of the other party. But no matter what kind of person comes, it is much more useful for Cao Cao now than sitting in front of the pot and staring at him now.

"The villain judges, I've seen Cao Gong!" What Cao Chun brought in was a middle-aged man less than six feet tall, with five locks of long hair hanging down on his chest with his head down, although he was wearing a leather armor of Yuan Jun Lieutenant, but whether it was from his body shape or facial temperament, it could be seen that this person was by no means as simple as an ordinary Yuan Jun general. When this person saw Cao Cao, he did not bow down like ordinary people, but went to the ground to salute, which is the etiquette among scholars, and reported his name and surname.

"Judge? Not...... What is your relationship with Jizhou Famous Scholar Trial and Judgment Zhengnan? Hearing this person's self-reported home, coupled with this description and demeanor, Cao Cao's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered a person, squinted and asked.

"Don't dare to hide it from Cao Gong, the trial is the villain's previous head of the family, and in terms of genealogy, he is still the villain's uncle who has not come out of five suits!" The person who claimed to be the judge heard Cao Cao say about the trial, and subconsciously raised his head and said, but the corner of his eye suddenly noticed that Cao Cao's narrow eyes were shining, staring at him, and his face suddenly changed drastically, and he only felt that his knees were weak, and he immediately knelt on the ground and bowed his head and said: "Cao Gong Mingjian." Although when the trial was matched and he didn't know the sky, he actually abandoned his family and business, ignored the clan, and betrayed the thief Lu Bu, but my trial family is not such a villain! Even now that Yuan Gong has passed away, the judge also unanimously believes that Jizhou should be as virtuous as Cao Gong to get it, then Lu Buzu is just a small official, and he himself is also a widow and a young man, how can he be the lord of Jizhou! ”

"Huh! You can say that again! The corners of Cao Cao's mouth were slightly upturned, his tongue was like spring thunder, and he said hello, but before the smile on the judge's face was full, he saw Cao Cao's eyes suddenly flash with a cold light, and shouted: "Someone!" Pull this thief out of the camp gate and cut it down! (To be continued......)
