"What's going on? Why did the lord give such an order? Is it just because Wang Yu won the miss? Ridiculous, ridiculous! That martial arts competition is just a gimmick, do you really have to take it seriously? ”

"Without Zhang Liao to contain Xu Huang in Fan County, the road for our army to advance eastward would be blocked, even if Wang Yu was taken here, it would only cause the Qingzhou army to retaliate, this, how should this be?"

"Hao Meng's house has already moved, and after hearing about this, he retreated again, only saying that Qingzhou is very difficult, and the lord insists on this, and he can't fight with him to the end......"

"Will this guy settle accounts, what kind of person is Wang Yu, who is the general of the hussars and the princes of the fourteen counties under his jurisdiction! If you can die with him, you will also earn it. ”

"Cheap life is also fate, since the lord has given an order, this matter should be stopped, everyone should also clean up their mood, while the prince and the marquis are still in Puyang, pay a visit to one or two, so as to eliminate the previous estrangement and make some plans for the future."

"Alas......" sighed, but no one was interested in continuing the argument.

Everything was properly arranged, who knew that Lu Bu, who had been hesitating, suddenly changed his mind? Zhang Liao had just secretly returned from Fan County yesterday, and he left the city early this morning in a high-profile manner, followed by Lu Bu's order to withdraw troops and transfer troops.

Zhang Liao's garrison in Fan County was only more than 3,000 people, and the transfer order given to Hao Meng only asked him to take 3,000 troops to Juyang. But for Puyang, who is floating with various conspiracies, the impact is like earth-shaking.

Lü Bu only nominally became the ruler of Yanzhou, but in fact, he only had nominal control over the rest of Yanzhou except for Dongjun.

The three counties of Dongping, Rencheng and Shanyang in the eastern part of Yanzhou. All are currently under local self-government. The local tyrants formed an offensive and defensive alliance, and if the surrounding forces attacked with a small force of troops and horses, they would strictly defend and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

Due to the strong enemies around him, after occupying Dongjun, Lu Bu had no time or ability to divide his troops to occupy these places. Haoqiang's dock fort is not necessarily very large. But they are usually much taller and stronger than the county seat, and with Lu Bu's troops, if one city is conquered, just one Dongping can exhaust all his foot soldiers.

Before knowing Wang Yu's arrival. Lu Bu only occupied a few important strongholds in some places near Dongjun.

Among them, Fan County belongs to Dongping State, and Zhang Liao's army stationed here is on the front line of guarding against the Qingzhou army; Juyang City belongs to Jiyin County, located on the north bank of Pushui, less than 100 miles away from Taocheng set by Jiyin Zhi, and is the bridgehead of Lu Bu to guard against Chen Liu, Liang Guo to Cao Cao's army. plus the troops stationed in Baima and Yan County. The four strongholds just formed the outer defense line of Puyang.

Lu Bu didn't expect these strongholds to really be able to stop the attack of the army, he just needed to have a warning time, and not let the enemy army drive in.

The main force remaining in Puyang consisted of cavalry and trapping camps, and its mobility was extremely high. As long as the invading enemy is unable to solve the defenders in the four strongholds in a short time, the main force will soon arrive under the personal leadership of Lu Bu and carry out a flanking attack inside and outside.

Strategically, there is nothing wrong with this arrangement.

Lu Bu had too few troops. It is not suitable to defend Luoyang and Puyang, which are places like the four wars, and can be overstretched in troops. It is already quite difficult to deploy troops and maintain the integrity of the main forces.

Among the four strongholds, Zhang Liaojun, who was stationed in Fan County, had the largest number of troops and the most elite, and the other three strongholds only had the role of defending against bandits.

However, Cao Cao was now advancing westward, and although he had left a considerable garrison at Chenliu and Yingchuan, the possibility of a war on both sides was slim. At least before he and Dong Zhuo have a decisive battle with the main force and divide the winner, it is impossible to target Dongjun.

However, Qingzhou may be swept down at any time and attack the Central Plains. Therefore, Lu Bu's previous arrangement was very sensible and fully reflected his strategic tendency.

Now, as soon as these two troop transfer orders came out, his meaning was obvious, and after several years of persistence, Lu Bu finally gave up his independent position and began to move closer to Qingzhou completely.

Looking at this posture, after reaching a rapprochement with Qingzhou, it is very likely that Lu Bu will go all out to the west and settle old scores with Cao Cao. This is not a whimsical thing, after Zhang Liao's army withdrew from Fan County, the next target was Yan County, which would work with Hao Meng's army in Juyang to form a flanking attack on Chen Liu.

On the bright side, he advanced with foot soldiers, and the main force was hidden behind the foot soldiers, which was Lu Bu's favorite tactic.

The commander of the Cao army who stayed in Chen was Xiahoudun, with more than 20,000 people, and there were Cheng Yu and Xun Yu counselors and military aircraft, and there were even troops left behind in Yingchuan and Luoyang to respond, but the situation was still not optimistic about the Lu Bu army, which was going all out.

Because of this, the generals who were planning various conspiracies in Puyang were like being splashed with ice water head-on in the thirty-ninth day, and they were cold from their heads to their heels.

Lu Bu's attitude changed, Hao Meng was transferred, not to mention borrowing a knife to kill people, even if Wei Xu and Hou Cheng were willing to go into battle in person, they couldn't help Wang Yu.

Song Xian, who was the least courageous, was the first to shrink; Although Hou Cheng, who had the greatest enmity with Wang Yu, shouted endlessly, he couldn't hide his fierce and inward-looking nature; Even the resourceful Chen Gong was dumbfounded, just rubbing his hands and lamenting, at a loss. The only one who could keep his composure was Bao Xin.

Seeing that everyone was beginning to be suspicious and panicked, and seeing that they were about to disperse in a hurry, Bao Xin, who had been watching coldly, suddenly smiled.

Facing everyone's shocked eyes, he whispered, "Are you a little too pessimistic? In Yixin's view, although the current situation is a bit tricky, it is not necessarily the end of the road. ”

"What do you mean by this?" Chen Gong raised his eyebrows, and there was an inexplicable chill in his rhetorical question.

"It's very simple, what you have been discussing is how to use Lu Bu or act without Lu Bu, but now that Lu Bu has clearly stood on the side of Qingzhou, the previous plans are no longer feasible...... Didn't anyone think about eradicating Lu Bu together? Bao Xin's words were astonishing.

"What?" All the generals were taken aback, and they all stood up and stared at Bao Xin sluggishly.

"Why should you be alarmed? If you look closely, what kind of person is Lu Bu? He makes a decision before it is easily shaken. But once a decision is made, it will be carried out vigorously. If you know how Wang Yu persuaded him, maybe you can still try to persuade him, but now, who can say clearly, what happened yesterday? Does no one know? Since this is the case, it is no longer possible to use Lu Bu, so for the sake of today's plan, get rid of Lu Bu first. Removing Wang Yu is the best policy! ”

“…… And then what? There was no sound in the room, only the sound of heavy breathing came and went, and someone asked softly, causing everyone's dull eyes to move.

"And then?" Bao Xin said with a smile: "With this fame in hand, the world is big." Where to go, Luoyang's General Cao is eloquent and broad-minded, and he is not ......"

"Humph! Where did a certain Bao envoy come from, but in the end, it was for the sake of getting things right. ”

Chen Gong snorted coldly and interrupted Bao Xin. Yu Dai sneered: "We are willing to take risks for Cao Cao, whether we succeed or not, we can disrupt the situation in Yanzhou." Buying time for the Western Expedition, Brother Yuncheng, the world says that you and Cao Mengde are long-lost brothers. Miyahara still doesn't believe it, but today it's better to hear than to see. ”

Although knowing that it shouldn't. But the generals couldn't help but laugh.

Since Cao Cao raised his troops, Bao Xin spared no effort to send food, troops, and land to Cao Cao, and finally made him have no place to live, but he was still happy. This is obviously beyond the scope of celebrity appreciation and promotion of juniors, it can be regarded as sacrificing oneself for others, and in the world, only the relationship between Tao Qian and Wang Yu can be compared.

People who don't like Cao Cao and Bao Xin have made this matter a joke, and there are rumors behind it, and the generals have been in Dongjun for a long time, these rumors have been heard, but when it comes to it in person, Chen Gong is the first person.

In addition to Yinjun, all the generals are also curious, how will Bao Xin respond? Annoyed and angry, or retreat in shame, or break the jar?

"Brother Gongtai, dare to take a step to speak." Bao Xin behaved calmly, even indifferent, as if he was not the protagonist of Chen Gong's ridicule.

Stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Bao Xin was so forbearing, Chen Gong was not easy to push too much, walked away a few steps with a cold face, looked at the former coldly, and did not speak.

"Brother Gongtai, your mind to save the world and help the people is known to the world, and your grievances with Meng De also came by accident, and it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong. But now that you can't do anything, are you ignoring the general trend of the world and letting the vertical run rampant because you don't like Mengde? ”

Bao Xin spread his hands and said: "Even if you don't want Meng De to pick up cheap, but now it's not a question of whether to pick up cheap or not, you may not know that the Hongnong War, Meng De has been weak in the follow-up, General Miaocai was broken by Li Ru and Niu Fu in Wuguan, and most of the battle for the westward advance has been lost, if Puyang is ...... again Who in the world can still suppress the edge of Qingzhou? ”

"Yuncheng, are you lying to me?" Chen Gong was taken aback, and looked at Bao Xin in disbelief, trying to distinguish the truth of this matter from the other party's expression.

"What's the trick?" Bao Xin sighed and said: "The major event of the Western Expedition is attracting the attention of the world, and the news will soon reach Yanzhou, and you will know when you ask." What's the use of me putting this kind of fake news? ”

"But...... If the Western Expedition didn't have that Guo Fengxiao to plan from it, how could there be such a big mistake? Chen Gong still didn't believe it.

"After all, he is a young man, and he is in a hurry...... Bao Xin shook his head and explained: "Fengxiao's strategy is to repair the plank road in the Ming Dynasty, Chen Cang in the dark, and attack Shaanxi County in the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, General Miaocai selected the elite, took advantage of the lack of Niu Fu, attacked Wuguan, and then drove straight in, making it difficult for Chang'an to take care of both the beginning and the end, and then quickly defeated Dong Zhuo." ”

The plan is a clever plan, but after all, it is too dangerous, and as a result, Li Ru saw through it, personally led the elite to Wuguan, took advantage of the mountain to set up an ambush, and defeated the more than 10,000 elites of General Miaocai with one drum. Now General Miaocai can only defend Wancheng, Li Ru and Niu Fu take advantage of the victory to pursue, and Xinye Zhang Xiu is ready to move again...... This westward expedition can no longer be fought. ”

"......" Chen Gong was shocked when he heard this, and he was dumbfounded for a while before asking, "Then what do you mean?" ”

The western expedition was fruitless, and Meng De could only try to reconcile with Dong Zhuo, and then turn back to recapture Yanzhou, taking advantage of the instability of northern Xinjiang to compete with Qingzhou. Gongtai, even if you hate Meng De to the bone, if you can push him in this matter, let the two tigers fight, and the two powers compete for the Central Plains, the war will inevitably be protracted for a long time, and it won't hurt you, right? Why hold on to Lu Bu, the dying tree? ”

Bao Xin said in an inaudible voice: "Moreover, although Meng De can't capture Chang'an, how can Dong Zhuo not be miserable?" If you are willing to let go of the affairs of Yanzhou, how can this mediation, and even the merit and reputation of forming an alliance against Qingzhou, not be in your pocket? You can rely on this merit to meet the Son of Heaven and enjoy the reward, and with this, in the future, you will join the princes, and won't you change your name to justice? ”

"......" Chen Gong's heart was pounding, his mind was racing rapidly, and after a while, he finally made up his mind: "What do you need me to do?" ”

After all his efforts, Bao Xin waited for this sentence, smiled at the moment, and said softly: "Actually, ......"
