Chapter 522 A piece of paper is worth ten thousand words

The atmosphere in Luoyang City has been very tense recently. The people were uneasy by the clouds of war hanging overhead, and the soldiers were equally unable to see through the fog and darkness of the future.

In fact, since the arrival of Lu Bujun, the war around Luoyang has not stopped, which aptly verifies the reputation of Luoyang as the place of the four wars. In the west, Dong Zhuo fought a succession, in the direction of Nanyang, Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew have never stopped, although the east did not fight with Cao Cao in Yanzhou, but the latter's ill-intentioned several temptations, and his covetousness for Luoyang is also known to passers-by.

The current Luoyang is not the ruined place in history that was burned down after being plundered by Dong Zhuo, but the first city in the world with a population of hundreds of thousands and operated by the Eastern Han Dynasty for many years!

To use an inappropriate analogy, Lu Bu today is like a naughty boy who lives in the city with a thousand gold, and he can't hold back the ill-intentioned eyes around him.

The Bingzhou army is strong and brave, but the number is too small after all, and the combat effectiveness of the troops requisitioned from Luoyang is too poor, and it is not useful to barely pull it to the battlefield, but it will drag it back.

The performance of the Bingzhou army under the leadership of Lu Bu on the battlefield can be described as brave and refined. Compared with the people of Bingzhou who have been trained in the fight with the nomads of the grasslands, the people of Luoyang are too poor in terms of courage, even if they are forced by the warlord team behind, they can't keep up with the rhythm of the main force of Bingzhou. If you lose, it will be a ruin and difficult to clean up.

Therefore, after occupying Luoyang, Lu Bu's forces have not been greatly enhanced, but have been weakened.

Originally, with the cooperation of Hedong Baibo, he was able to share the same situation with the Western Liang Army, but when the Western Liang Army changed its strategy, Lu Bu became powerful and had nowhere to go, and could only watch his allies go to ruin.

Although there are few generals who are good at strategy, there is such a clear situation. They can still see it clearly, break through each one, and when the white wave is finished, it will be Luoyang's turn soon.

On the southern front, although Zhang Ji is finished, the threat has not been eliminated, but has become greater. Cao Cao, who owns half of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, is the strongest prince in the Central Plains except for Wang Yu and Dong Zhuo, and this kind of person is in Nanyang. It is much more difficult to deal with than the brave and unscrupulous Zhang Ji.

As a result, at this critical moment, a new threat appeared, and this time, the warning signal came from the north!

Right now. The worst situation in front of the people of Bingzhou is that they have to face the three strongest princes in the world at the same time, not to mention Lu Bu, who has limited soldiers and horses, even if they are replaced by any princes along the way, they will not have a chance to survive.

Although Zhang Liao proposed a strategy that there were contradictions between the three princes and could take advantage of the situation to survive. But those three are not honest sheep, but tigers, leopards and jackals. Dealing with them and using them, even Zhang Liao, who proposed the strategy, did not have much confidence.

More comments. I still hope that Lu Bu will not get involved in the war in Hanoi, and as for the threat after Wang Yu took Hanoi, he can only hope that there will be a way before the car reaches the mountain.

According to Hou Cheng and others, the current situation. And the state army has no way out. Luoyang is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and there is also no way out on all sides. The chaos in Chang'an, which Lu Bu has been looking forward to, has never appeared, and the most practical way is to take advantage of the territory of Luoyang and the soldiers and horses in his hands, and choose a family to hug his thighs.

Of course, they only dared to say these things in private, and no one dared to say them in front of Lu Bu. The scumbags he suffered under Dong Zhuo were a lifelong shame for Lu Wenhou, and he had been ignoring Zhang Ji, who was easier to deal with, and fighting with the Xiliang army west of Hangu Pass, which was not driven by this psychology.

Hou Cheng is not stupid, of course he will not commit this taboo.

Gao Shun put forward the strategy of strictly guarding against the two-way threats to the neighbors, making diplomatic representations to the Qingzhou side, and carefully screening the new army, and practicing internal skills.

As soon as Gao Shun's opinion was put forward, he was immediately ridiculed by everyone. This may sound like that, but it is not ready to be implemented. The threat of Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao is already real, and Wang Yu's invasion of Hanoi is also imminent, how can he have time to make these long-term plans?

Solve Wang Yu diplomatically? Do you think you are Zhang Yi and Su Qin?

The ostensible reasons are these, and in addition, Gao Shun's plan to train the new army has also hurt the interests of the generals.

Gao Shun has to train elite soldiers, and equipment and food and grass supplies are definitely indispensable. Luoyang's production is just barely enough, and if you want to train the new army, you have to make the veterans aggrieved. The generals are all watching their own bottles and cans very closely, who will let go easily?

Gao Shun is not good at words, although Zhang Liao and Cao Xing have the intention of supporting, they can't get the upper hand, and in the end they can only watch Lu Bu fight his troops and horses, preparing to cross the river and divide the high and low with Wang Yu.

There was a gloomy cloud in the Luoyang City Guard, and no one was optimistic about this war. Even if the Qingzhou Army is defeated in Hanoi, unless Wang Yu is captured, there will be no benefit at all. And Wang Yu's record of winning a hundred battles is not fake, it is already difficult to gain the upper hand, let alone capture him?

If it's not good, even the Luoyang nest will be thrown away.

Although Cao Cao sent a messenger to say that it was the current enemy, he would never do a dirty thing that his relatives were painful and his enemies were happy, but in the troubled times, people's hearts are ghostly, and if others say anything, they will believe it, and in the end, they will definitely not even have bones left.

But Lu Bu, the boss, made a decision, and everyone could only listen, and by the way, they prayed for good luck to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, hoping that this battle would not be overdone.

At this juncture, Kong Rong came.

After sneaking into Luoyang from Wang Yu, Hou Chengcheng has always been a staunch anti-Wang Yu faction, and when he heard the envoy from Qingzhou, he didn't want to say it: "So far, what else is there to say?" Wang Peng moved the army to come out, can he do nothing and return to Gaotang? Prince, blast it out. ”

Zhang Liao retorted: "The two countries have exchanged troops, and they have not yet been killed. Wang Hussar's revolt, not necessarily as rumored to annex Hanoi, since the envoy came, we must listen to what he has to say. ”

"What else can I say?" Wei Xu has always breathed out from the same nostrils as Hou Cheng, and sneered in a strange way: "Bacheng wants to suppress people with power, and advise the lord to judge the situation and surrender as soon as possible." ”

Song Xian also echoed: "That's it, this guy has already had this thought!" When he gave Luoyang to the lord, he didn't have a good heart! The lord's martial arts are unparalleled in the world. Our soldiers are strong and strong, and when the soldiers are in battle, they are all vying for the first! The lord and the commander are so strong, where in the world can't they go? Just trapped in Luoyang, isn't it just falling into the trap of Wang Yu's house? ”

As the last member of the trio, Song Xian has always been known for his poisonous tongue. Unlike Youheng's poisonous tongue, his business lies in reversing black and white, as long as he wants, even if he refers to a deer as a horse. He can also speak eloquently, and his face is not red.

Lu Bu's face suddenly sank, and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun secretly screamed in their hearts.

Lu Bu's biggest flaw and advantage are one, he does not rely on reason to make decisions, but on emotions. It's not that he doesn't know that Hou Cheng and the others have selfish intentions. But when the other party poked him in the sore spot, he still couldn't keep calm.

No one doesn't know that Wang Yu let Luoyang think of today, but it is undeniable that the military roots of Bingzhou at that time had nowhere to go, and it would be very good to have a place to stay. As for Wang Yu's abandonment of Luoyang, he returned to Qingzhou and became prosperous. That's someone else's business, and it's useless to envy.

Lu Bu didn't know this truth, but Wei Xu and Song Xian said it too viciously, which directly provoked Lu Bu's heart.

"Get out of here!" Lu Bu's face was gloomy. He said coldly: "Let him go back and tell Wang Yu that it's okay to talk, and then talk about it after he retires. But it is not subject to the alliance of the city! ”

"Whoa!" A personal guard had already made a promise and turned around. Hou Cheng and the others were overjoyed. Zhang and the sophomore generals could only look at each other and smile bitterly.

After a short time, the guard turned back again, holding a letter in his hand, obviously unable to completely drive Kong Rong away as Hou Cheng and others wished.

"What's going on?" Lu Bu frowned and asked.

"Return to my lordship." Seeing that Lu Bu had a look of dismayness on his face, the guards did not dare to slack off, and immediately put the letter in their hands and reported: "The prince refused to leave, only said that he asked the lord to read this letter, if after reading it, the lord still insisted on letting him go, he would not say anything and would never entangle." It is the same if the lord refuses to read the letter. ”

"Huh?" Lu Bu frowned, and all the generals were also surprised. Kong Rong is famous, if he answers him face to face, Lu Bu does not guarantee that he will not be convinced, but if it is just a letter......

"Bring it on!" With Lu Bu's arrogance, of course, he wouldn't even dare to read the letter, so he didn't let Wang Yu see the joke.

The guards presented the letter at the moment, and when Lu Bu Zhanxin saw it, his face suddenly became a little strange. The previous cold color gradually faded, and the tightly wrung brows were loosened, and then what was revealed was a complex expression mixed with surprise, doubt, deep thought, and even a little relief and appreciation.

Wang Yu's letter is not a bamboo slip or cloth, but a new paper in Qingzhou, the snow-white paper is faintly shining, it may be a little difficult to see the content of the letter from the back, but it is easy to distinguish the length of the letter from the ink.

"It doesn't seem like a few words, huh? How could the lord ...... Could it be that Wang Yu plans to give Wei Jun to the lord? Hou Cheng whispered to Wei Xu and Song Xian bit their ears.

Wei Xu shook his head and said in a low voice: "Don't be stupid! Wang Yu is not a fool, how could he give up such an important place? Besides, even if that's the case, with the lord's temper, will this kind of thing make him very happy? Maybe he'll think it's a charity, or even an insult or something. ”

"What else can you write about? A few words will make the lord turn his anger into joy, and the previous suspicion will be relieved? Hou Cheng was so anxious that he couldn't wait to go up and snatch the letter to calm the restlessness in his heart.

Lu Bu was not as he wished, so he held the letter and looked at it fixedly, and he didn't say a word for a long time, as if he was stupid.

After a long time, Lu Bu put down the letter, reluctantly rubbed it on the letter a few times, and commanded in a loud voice: "Please come in, Mr. Ju." After thinking about it, he added: "Be polite." ”

The "......" generals desperately suppressed it, so that they did not make an uproar, this turn is too unbelievable and inexplicable.

As far as the lord's temper is concerned, since the fire is up, even if he speaks thousands of words bitterly, it may not be of any use, maybe it will have a negative effect, and the result is Wang Yu's book, which makes the lord laugh at first sight, and almost bows up?

Can this happen in reality?

What is written on that letter, that few words can have such a magical effect?

If it weren't for Lu Bu's majesty, the generals would definitely come forward to watch, and even now, many people stretched their necks and looked desperately at the handsome case, wanting to see what magical words were written on the letter.

"Let's take a look, although Wang Pengju's character is not very good, he knows a certain mind, which is rare. Yuan, you read it to everyone. Lu Bu sighed, and praised Wang Yu rarely.

It may not sound like it, but in Lu Bu's style, this sentence is actually a high praise.

"Whoa." Zhang Liao promised, picked up the letter, swept his eyes, and was surprised to find that it was actually a short poem written on it. He was a little relieved, Wang Yu can compose poems, and the collection is not bad, it is not a secret, but it is indeed very unexpected that he can impress the lord with a poem.

He settled down and recited aloud: "In May, the mountains are snowy, and there are no flowers but cold. The flute smells the willows, and the spring has not been seen. Xiao Zhan followed the golden drum and slept with the jade saddle. I am willing to put the sword down my waist and cut Loulan directly. ”
