Hearing Cheng Yu say that Lu Bu was likely to target Yuan Shu in Huainan, Guo Jia, who was more intelligent, frowned slightly and said: "Yuan Shu's claim to be the emperor is actually not a big blow to Lu Bu as you imagined, because the reason why he wants to control the Luoyang Imperial Court is only to let the world's talents go to Luoyang to serve him in the name of the imperial court, and use this to improve his situation of martial arts and civil decline."

And now that he has defeated Jizhou Yuan Shao and has a great advantage in the duel with our Yanzhou army, the advantage of the first prince in the world has been worthy of the name, and even if one or two princes join forces, they may not be their opponents. At this time, even if Lu Bu did not have the advantage of the imperial court, he would not worry about no one to serve at all.

And Yuan Shu was called emperor at this time, but he was able to sweep away the last face of the Han family for him, and let some ministers who were loyal to the Han family be more loyal to him. And if Lu Bu has the intention of self-reliance in his heart, I am afraid that he will be a little more happy now. ”

Cao Ying sighed deeply, obviously he had also thought of what Guo Jia said: "The fate of the Yuan family, the third prince of the fourth world, can be said to have been doomed since Yuan Shu became emperor, I really don't know how Yuan Shu will face those ancestors after his death."

It's a shame that this person has no use in even joining forces with me to resist Lu Bu, but he wasted the anointed land of Huainan and was occupied by Yuan Shu, a fool. If I, Cao Ying, can get the land of several counties in Huainan, I don't dare to say anything else, at least I can accumulate the strength to fight with the state army with all my might! It's really unfair!! Cao Ying's face was full of jealousy, unwillingness, and a hint of regret.

"For today's plan, I can only send people to Chang'an with heavy gifts to persuade Li Xu, Guo Yan and other generals of the Western Liang Army to lead the army to attack Hangu Pass, in addition, you can also send a messenger to Liu Biao in Jingzhou, so that he can replace Yuan Shu to send troops to attack Nanyang, after all, Nanyang should belong to Jingzhou, and it is reasonable for Liu Biao to capture Nanyang as the assassin of Jingzhou." Guo Jia said softly.

Cao Ying held his head in severe pain, gritted his teeth and said, "I have a head wind attack and can't handle affairs for the time being, so I'll leave it to the two of you at this time." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll leave it to us at this time." Cheng Yu said firmly

Dividing line

Changan.

"General, there is a man who claims to be an envoy under Cao Ying's command and asks to see him." A sergeant of Li Xuan's personal guard walked quickly to Li Xuan's house to report.

"Cao Ying? Isn't he fighting with Lu Bu Xiaoer for Yanzhou, why did he send someone to my Chang'an? Let the man wait in the main hall and see him after I go to change my clothes. Li Xuan said to the sergeant outside the door as he got down from the bed.

"Obey!" The sergeant of the guard saluted the house and turned to leave.

"Wait! After you arrange that Cao Ying's envoy, go and find Fazheng for me. The reason why he didn't die in the first place was to let him give me advice, but at this time, I just needed him. Li urged the sergeant to stop, but he thought of Fa Zheng, who he said he had not executed with Niu Fu.

"No!"

Receiving the order from the sergeant of Li Xuan's personal guard, Fa Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Cao Ying's envoy? It seems that Cao Ying couldn't resist the advance of Lu Bu's and Zhou army, but wanted to come to Chang'an to seek Li Xu, Guo Yan, and other Western Liang troops to attack Hangu Pass, intending to draw Lu Bu's attention back to Chang'an.

Hehehe, that's fine. Originally, I wanted to see if Lu Bu could withstand the siege of the princes of Zhulu, but I didn't expect that Lu Bu would take Nanyang and destroy Yuan Shao when the Tiger Prison Pass was captured.

If I can resist the attacks of Li Xuan and Guo Yan again, the general trend of the world can be determined, and I can just join him and show what I have learned in my chest for the final pacification of the troubled times. The corners of Fa Zheng's mouth turned up slightly, and he followed the sergeant and strode towards Li Xuan's general's mansion.

"Cheng Yu, the envoy under Cao Yanzhou, meet General Li!" The person who came turned out to be Cheng Yu, one of Cao Ying's right-hand men!

"Well, let's talk about the reason why your lord let you, General Ben has been very busy lately, don't beat around the bush and talk about those false things." Li Xuan waved his hand and asked Cheng Yu to order directly.

Cheng Yu smiled slightly: "My lord has no other intentions, but I just want to ask General Li to send troops to attack Hangu Pass, but my lord is willing to drag Lu Bu's main army in Yanzhou for the general." ”

Fa Zheng on the side snorted coldly: "Cao Ying is cunning, seeing that he can't resist Lu Bu, but he wants you to confuse my lord to attack Hangu Pass and attract Lu Bu's attention to the western front."

At that time, your father-in-law will be able to take the opportunity to recover the lost territory in Yanzhou, and my father-in-law will not be targeted by the evil wolf Lu Bu, how can he please him? ”

Although Li Yu didn't speak, his eyes were obviously a little unkind when he looked at Cheng Yu, so obviously letting himself be Cao Ying's substitute ghost, did Cao Ying think he was so stupid?

Cheng Yu looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahahaha, ridiculous! It's ridiculous!! My lord and General Li are actually people in the same boat, if my lord is broken by Lu Bu, does General Li think that Lu Bu can put Chang'an and Guanzhong without fighting? ”

Li Xuan's face sank: "At least I can accumulate a little more strength, and when the time comes, I can deal with Lu Bu's annexed army, but I won't be as unbeaten as your lord!" ”

Cheng Yu sneered: "If my lord hadn't been betrayed by Yuan Shu, a villain who forgot his righteousness, so that he was attacked by Lu Bu from Nanyang to the hinterland of my Yanzhou through Yuzhou, he would really fight in a dignified manner, and it might not be the scene like today."

Please General Li don't forget, the Tiger Prison Pass, which was not captured by the joint efforts of the princes of the Eighteen Routes, is still in the hands of my lord! But the rest of the princes in the world, have they ever captured the slightest city of the state army? How can General Li be qualified to laugh at my father-in-law? ”
