"My lord, there is a man outside who has come to see me. According to him, if the lord wants to defeat the tens of thousands of cavalry in Nanyang and capture Luoyang, then he is willing to give advice to the lord! A commander of Yuan Shu's guards stood more than ten steps outside Yuan Shu's study.

Yuan Shu suddenly stood up and said ecstatically: "Can there be a strategy to break the cavalry of that and the state?" Can you still capture Luoyang?? Fast! Get that guy up! No, I'll go and invite that man myself! ”

Li Yan looked at the familiar and unfamiliar Taishou Mansion in front of him, and at the same time he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, his hatred for Lu Bu deepened a little: "Lu Bu! You colluded with the Yellow Turban Army to kill Qin Taishou's surname, and I, Li Zhengfang, swore to stand with you!! ”

When he was secretly gritting his teeth, there was a rush of footsteps in the Taishou Mansion.

"Which sage has the strategy to break the enemy? Please take a seat at the house, Yuan is willing to listen! "No matter how Yuan Shu is said, it is also cultivated by the Yuan family, but some ordinary little tricks to buy people's hearts are no worse than his brother Yuan Shao.

"Nanyang Li Yan has seen Lord Yuan." Li Yan respectfully saluted Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Yan up, looked carefully and saw that Li Yan looked dignified and majestic, and immediately overjoyed in his heart, (still judging people by their appearance) stepped forward and pulled up Li Yan's sleeves and walked towards his Taishou Mansion.

After the guests and hosts sat separately, Yuan Shu first asked: "This Li Zhuang once said outside the mansion that there is a strategy to break the tens of thousands of iron horsemen in Nanyang, can you tell me about it now?" ”

Li Yan smiled slightly, put down the cup in his hand and said: "Lord Yuan, it is basically hopeless for these tens of thousands of cavalry in Nanyang to be annihilated, but it is not difficult to drive them out of Nanyang, but I don't know what Lord Yuan's plans are after driving away this group of cavalry?" ”

"What are you going to do after you get rid of these cavalry? Naturally, with the black dwarf of Cao Ying in Yanzhou, and my brother in Hebei, they went out to attack Luoyang in three ways. Yuan Shu heard that Li Yan seemed to have a bamboo in his chest, and that Yan Ming could drive the cavalry out of Nanyang in advance, and his heart suddenly felt a lot more relieved, and he also followed Li Yan's inquiry and said his next plan.

Li Yan put his hands on his knees, and suddenly asked solemnly: "If Lu Bu sends high-ranking officials and a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry in exchange for a covenant of offensive and defensive mutual assistance from Lord Yuan at this time, will Lord Yuan continue to follow the two princes of Yanzhou Cao Ying and Yuan Shao of Jizhou to attack Luoyang and the state army?" ”

"What do you say?! Lu Bu will give me high-ranking officials and gold, silver and jewelry, but he just wants to exchange it for an offensive and defensive mutual assistance alliance with my Yuan Shu? How is this possible? He Lu Bu is still sending tens of thousands of cavalry to roam in my Nanyang territory, burning how many supply camps I have had, and how much ordnance, money and food have I taken from my Nanyang County? How could you ally yourself with me at this time? Yuan Shu shouted in disbelief.

Li Yan still smiled and said: "Since Dong Zhuo's death, Lu Bu can indeed be called the first prince in the world, but let him face Lord Yuan Benchu of Hebei, Lord Cao Mengde of Yanzhou, and Lord Yuan Highway who is sitting in Nanyang and the new land of Huainan, and even Li Qi and Guo Yan of Chang'an, these four sides attacked him Lu Bu at the same time, even if Lu Bu really has three heads and six arms, it is difficult to resist with the manpower of the two states and counties of Bingzhou and Sizhou."

And the only thing Lu Bu can do is to divide this coalition army that is very unfavorable to him, but the Xiliang army of Chang'an has a common enmity with him Lu Bu, and Lord Yuan Benchu of Hebei is the initiator of this crusade against Lu Bu, so that only Cao Mengde of Yanzhou and Lord Yuan Highway of Nanyang can be his allies of Lu Bu. However, Cao Mengde's location in the Central Plains is a hidden danger that Lu Bu has to remove, in comparison, Lord Yuan Highway's territory is located in the south, and he does not have too many interests entanglement with him Lu Bu for the time being, but it is most in line with his interests to form an ally with Lord Yuan Highway.

And how can we make Lord Yuan Highway accept this covenant willingly? From the current point of view, most of the cavalry in Hebei and Yanzhou avoided fighting with the local main army, but the cavalry of Nanyang came to the highway several times to invite the highway to fight, so it seems that Lu Bu is planning to let the highway lord see the strength of the Bingzhou army first, and care about the temptation of high-ranking officials and gold, silver and jewelry. ”

Yuan Shu smashed his mouth and thought about it carefully, if Lu Bu really sent that high-ranking official appointed by the Luoyang Imperial Court at this time, and then promised to send a batch of gold, silver and jewelry that were large enough to make him tempted after forming an alliance, I was afraid that he would really not be able to resist the temptation of becoming an ally with Lu Bu.

"In this way, don't Lu Bu and I each have what we need? Hey, are you the lobbyist sent by Lu Bu? No wonder you said that it is not difficult to drive away those Bingzhou cavalry, as long as I am an ally with Na Lu Bu, you can make those Bingzhou iron cavalry leave Nanyang immediately with just a letter, right? Yuan Shu said with some sudden realization, and he was still a little complacent after speaking.

Li Yan rubbed his temples with his hands with some tears and laughter, he had long known that Yuan Shu was not the master, but in order to let Lu Bu's Bingzhou army die in this siege, he had to end his study tour in advance and return to Nanyang to meet this Yuan Shu. As a result, after talking for a long time, this Yuan Shu actually regarded himself as Lu Bu's lobbyist, which is extremely stupid and ridiculous!

Li Yan really didn't understand how this kind of waste occupied such a large piece of rich land in Huainan, it seems that there is only one explanation: the biggest reason is the Yuan family behind Yuan Shu! If it weren't for the hand of the Yuan clan, who had a very terrible influence in the south, and only relying on the little power in Yuan Shu's own hands, I am afraid that Huainan would never have fallen under Yuan Shu's command so soon in a year or two.

"No, Li and Lu Bu have a blood feud, and this time I came here to save Lord Yuan!" Li Yan got up and arched his hand.

"Help me? Didn't Lu Bu want to form an alliance with me? Besides Lu Bu, who else in the world will attack me, Yuan Shu? Could it be Liu Biao from Jingzhou?? Yuan Shu began to diverge his thinking again.

Li Yan really couldn't help it, and said in a low voice with a straight face: "Could it be that Lord Yuan really believes that Lu Bu's alliance with Lord Yuan is well-intentioned?" I don't know if Lord Yuan knows how the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Six Kingdoms of Kwantung hundreds of years ago? Isn't it just a long-distance and close attack!

Lord Yuan's current territory is in the south, and before Lu Bu has conquered the rich lands of Chang'an, Hebei, and Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou in the Central Plains, there is no need for him to come to the south to cause trouble. However, when he unified the Qing, Hebei, He, Si, Xu, Yong, and Yan prefectures, could Lord Yuan expect that with just a covenant in his hand, he could extinguish Lu Bu's wolf ambition to dominate the world? ”
