Since the fall of Yuan Shu, although the situation in the Central Plains seems to be calm, but it has always been an undercurrent, everyone in the world knows that the next outbreak must be the battle to determine the hegemony of the Central Plains, only three people can be qualified to participate in this battle, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, Lu Bu of Xuzhou, and Lu An who occupies the entire Yangzhou, this is bound to be a real dragon fight.

Xuzhou Xiapi City

"Fengxian, something is wrong!" After receiving the information from the spies, Chen Gong hurriedly came to Lu Bu's mansion and found Lu Bu who was practicing martial arts.

"Why is the public station in such a hurry to find me?" Seeing Chen Gong coming, Lu Bu put down the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and said with a rare smile. Although the person in front of him is not proficient in martial arts, he is indeed a good talent, and he can rule Xuzhou so well thanks to him.

"According to the report from the spies, Cao Cao is already preparing grain and grass, and mobilizing troops and horses, although there is no rumor of who he wants to attack for the time being, but needless to say, it must be directed at us." Chen Gong raised the secret letter received in his hand and said very eagerly.

"It's okay, it's only a matter of time before Cao Cao comes to attack us, there is no need to panic, I am ready to face Cao Cao!" Lu Bu smiled faintly, obviously unimpressed by this matter.

"I'm not talking about this, but I think we must solve the hidden dangers around us before facing Cao Cao!" Chen Gong shook his head and spoke.

"What's the hidden danger?" Lu Bu asked.

"Liu Bei, before Cao Cao's army comes to attack, we must completely destroy Liu Bei!" Chen Gong said without hesitation.

"It's not good, you can't do it!" Lu Bu frowned, then shook his head and rejected Chen Gong's proposal.

"Fengxian, what are you thinking, the enemy is coming, we have to sweep away the surrounding threats before we can face the battle without worries!" Chen Gong said urgently.

"We have already seized Liu Bei's Xuzhou, which is already very unrighteous, if we still kill him for no reason, wouldn't it be said by the world that my Lu is too ruthless, and this will also damage my Lu Bu's reputation too much!" Lu Bu said firmly.

"Feng Xian, you don't have a good reputation in the first place, and you still care about what you do, and besides, strength is respected in troubled times, and everything else is empty!" Seeing Lu Bu's unmoved appearance, when Chen Gong was in a hurry, he blurted out a sentence that did not pass through his brain.

"If you think that I, Lu Bu, am a shameless villain, then you can go by your own accord, why are you still staying by my side?" Lu Bu was really furious, and glanced at Chen Gong coldly.

"I'm sorry Fengxian, I said the wrong thing, but it is precisely because we robbed Liu Bei's Xuzhou that we can't keep him, Liu Bei must have a grudge against us now, and it's just a matter of weekdays, when Cao Cao comes to attack, he is likely to attack us at any time, we must take advantage of it now to clean him up!" Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, Chen Gong's tone softened and persuaded him with three points.

"If he dares to rebel against me, I will clean him up again, in short, if Liu Bei doesn't move, I won't do anything to him again." Lu Bu walked to the side after saying that, wanting to pick up the Fang Tian Painting Halberd again and continue the previous drill.

"It will be too late by then, although the three brothers of Liu Bei have few soldiers, their two righteous brothers are all enemies, and they are a force that cannot be ignored!" Chen Gong said urgently.

"It's okay, since my debut, Lu Bu, I have never been afraid of anyone!" Lu Bu waved his hand, then ignored Chen Gong and concentrated on showing his peerless martial arts.

"Hey!" Seeing that Lu Bu was going to draw a halberd dance, Chen Gong knew that Lu Bu would not listen to him anymore, so he sighed loudly and left helplessly.

Time into July, Cao Cao finally prepared everything, personally led the army to attack Xuzhou, perhaps knowing the strength of Lu Bu, Cao Cao in addition to leaving Xun Yu alone to guard Xuchang, all the generals under his command were all brought, ready to break Lu Bu's enemy in one fell swoop.

In addition, when Cao Cao's army first arrived in Xuzhou, Liu Bei of Xiaopei resolutely responded and followed Cao Cao to launch an attack on Lü Bu.

Just when the Central Plains was turbulent, Lu An, who was far away in Jiangdong, was not idle, and after learning that the two sides of the Central Plains had started a war, he was almost ready to capture Jingzhou, so he ordered Wei Yan in Jingnan to lead 80,000 soldiers and horses to prepare for the attack, and he also mobilized 80,000 soldiers and horses from Jiangdong to prepare to go by water.

This is almost all of Lu An's troops, occupying Jingnan and Jiangdong for several years, Lu An has a total of more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, of which 50,000 are guarding Huainan, 50,000 are going to attack Jiaozhou, and the rest are all sent out to attack Jingzhou this time, which is why Lu An wants to wait until the Central Plains starts a war before acting, only in this way can he have no scruples to launch a big battle, otherwise who knows if someone will come to intervene for him when he attacks Jingzhou.

Liu Biao was once defeated in the hands of Lu An, but this does not mean that Liu Biao is a weak chicken, on the contrary, his strength is very strong, Liu Biao, who occupies the richest area of Jingzhou, has nearly 200,000 armor, and there is no shortage of grain, grass, money and grain, from the positive point of view, there is no weakness.

Although it has been several years since Lu An repelled Liu Biao to occupy Jingnan, in fact, Liu Biao's control of Jingzhou has not become weaker, for no other reason, there is a long Yangtze River between Jingnan and Jingbei, even if Lu An does not occupy Jingnan, Liu Biao's control of Jingnan is not high, so Liu Biao does not pay much attention to Jingnan, which is also the reason why he can always endure Lu An's capture of Jingnan and not make any more trouble.

But this time, Lu An wants more than just Jingnan, but wants to annex the entire Jingzhou, which is obviously not an easy thing, Jiangdong is a stable rear because of the Yangtze River, but it is precisely because of the Yangtze River that it is not so easy to get out, although Lu An has occupied Huainan, but it is only the road to the Central Plains, and it is not feasible to go to Jingzhou from there.

Therefore, if Lu An wants to enter Jingzhou from Jiangdong, there is only one direction that can move forward now, that is, to attack Jiangxia County, the defense line of Jingzhou, with all his might, but Wei Yan's side, if a small force sneaks attack, you can directly attack Jiangling from Jingnan, but because Jiangling is close to Liu Biao's old nest Xiangyang, its defensive vigilance is too strong, and once something happens, you can mobilize troops and horses from Xiangyang at any time, obviously it is not a good idea to march from there.

July 15 is a good day, the weather is also exceptionally good, the sun with a gentle breeze, blowing a ripple in people's hearts.

"There's nothing wrong with me going out like this!" In the governor's mansion, Lu An pulled his sleeve and asked the wives on the side.

"It's not long since my husband came back, and I'm going to go on an expedition again!" The girls all looked at him reluctantly, their expressions full of resentment.

"The expansion of the territory cannot be delayed!" Lu An said softly. Parting is a very sad topic, especially this time he has to go on a personal expedition, which will make several wives have different worries, but since he has embarked on this path, then no matter what, he must not affect his hegemony because of his children's personal affairs, otherwise it is not only a blasphemy of his own ideals, but also a disrespect to the famous generals and ministers who follow him with all their hearts.

"The husband is a person who does great things, and the concubine sisters naturally can't stop it, but I hope that the husband will return safely as soon as possible!" Diao Chan approached and instructed. But as soon as she finished speaking, her face suddenly turned pale, and then she bowed down and retched.

"Cicada, are you alright?" Lu An hurriedly helped her and asked with concern.

"No, it's fine!" Diao Chan stood up, looking like he wanted to say something.

"You, pregnant?" Looking at Diao Chan's expression, Lu An suddenly remembered something, and asked with some excitement.

"Hmm!" Looking at Lu An's expectant look, Diao Chan lowered his head with a little shyness and answered softly.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Lu An was a little stunned all of a sudden, and only spit out a sentence after half a sound. This is very sudden news, the first time he has faced this kind of thing in two lifetimes, he doesn't know what to react to at the moment.

"Isn't the husband happy?" Looking at Lu An's stunned expression, Diao Chan said with some panic.

"No, I'm so happy!" Lu An gently stroked her face and smiled slightly. He didn't know what kind of state to use to face this matter, but all he could know was that if nothing happened, he would have offspring, and it would obviously be very happy news for anyone.

"Ah, Sister Diao Chan is actually pregnant with a child!" The women on the side obviously didn't know about it before, and they all surrounded Diao Chan at this moment, and the simple Xiao Qiao even put the head of the mantis on Diao Chan's stomach to listen to the movement.

"I just asked Lang Zhong to confirm a few days ago, but I haven't had time to talk to my husband and sisters." Diao Chan said with a shy face, and then she gently pulled away the curious Xiao Qiao: "Sister Wan'er, I can't hear any movement now!" ”

"Master, the guards outside ask you when you are going to the school!" A maid came over to Lu Andao.

Lu An nodded, then walked directly in front of Diao Chan and whispered, "I'm leaving, I'll rush back as soon as possible before our child is born." ”

"Hmm!" Diao Chan didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

"Let's go!" Lu An rode Feiyun, took one last look at his family, and left the mansion without looking back.

Out of the mansion, Lu An's expression became extremely firm, because from this moment on, he was no longer the role of his husband, but Lu Xuantong, a powerful prince in the world.

"I will still win this battle!"
