Chapter 351 Preparation of the Parties

Lu Bu thought about it, and then nodded in agreement. Chen Gong's words are not bad at all, although Liu Bei has no strength, and he also has some women's benevolence, but Liu Bei's name of benevolence and righteousness, Lu Bu still has more knots. It was because Lu Bu won the hearts of the people that he obeyed Chen Gong's orders and expelled Liu Bei's three brothers. Now that Liu Bei's three brothers have come to crusade against him, there is really a possibility that a civil uprising will break out.

"Since this is the case, I will follow the advice of the public platform and send troops to fight against Liu Bei." Lu Bu clapped his hands and said. "Pass on my order, order 20,000 troops, and crusade against Liu Bei."

"No." Chen Gong received the order, and then went down to prepare. Soon, the whole of Xuzhou fell into tension.

For a time, because of a secret letter, the entire Xuzhou fell into chaos. And a few Shi Li, who are adjacent to Xuzhou, also keep spying on Xuzhou, they want to know what happened in Xuzhou.

"Lord, the big thing is not good, Lu Bu sent 20,000 troops, and he is coming to Xiaopei." Xiao Pei guarded the council hall, Sun Gan hurriedly ran in, and when he came to Liu Bei, Sun Gan hurriedly spoke.

"What?" Hearing Sun Gan's words, Liu Bei was immediately taken aback. If you go to crusade against Lu Bu yourself, then you will have the initiative. Advance can be attacked, retreated, and defended, so that you can keep yourself invincible. And if Lu Bu comes to attack, he can only passively defend the city, after all, it is very difficult to have a piece of territory.

No matter how small Xiao Pei is, and he is sandwiched between Cao Jun and Lu Bujun, his status is embarrassing, but this is also a piece of territory. Even if it is difficult to survive in the cracks, but if you persist, there is still a certain future, after all, Liu Bei has been in exile for a long time, so he still cherishes it very much.

"Is what Gongyu said true?" Liu Bei had a glimmer of expectation in his heart, how much he hoped that Sun Qian would say that it was fake. But I saw that Sun Qian nodded helplessly and said: "The scout has news that Lu Bu has led an army of 20,000 and has set off. ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei slumped in his seat. After a while, Liu Bei hurriedly spoke: "Quick, quickly find Yun Changyide, and also, Ran Zizhong, Xianhe and come to the conference hall to discuss matters." At this time, Liu Bei had a trace of helplessness on his face, he was only 5,000 soldiers, and nearly half of them were recruits, how could he hold Lu Bu's 20,000 army. Moreover, Lu Bu personally led his troops to come, presumably to take down Xiao Pei in one fell swoop.

Soon after, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Mi Zhu and Jian Yong came to the conference hall one after another. For Liu Bei to call himself so anxiously, this made everyone very puzzled, and they didn't know what happened to make the lord so impatient.

After everyone gathered in the meeting hall today, they saw Liu Bei sitting on the main seat with a gloomy face. Seeing Liu Bei's expression, everyone knew that Liu Bei was in an unusually bad mood. Obviously, something big must have happened, otherwise, Liu Bei would not have shown such an expression.

Seeing that everyone had entered the conference hall, Liu Bei said to everyone: "The news just came that Lu Bu personally led an army of 20,000 and has come straight to Xiaopei. ”

Hearing this, except for Zhang Fei in the hall, the faces of the rest of the people became very solemn. Xiao Pei has a total of only a few thousand soldiers, and Xiao Pei's city defense is quite weak, so how can he defend Lu Bu's 20,000 army. So, this worries everyone in the hall. Of course, this does not include Zhang Fei.

"Hahaha." Zhang Fei smiled heartily, and then said loudly: "What am I, it turned out to be Lu Bu'er attacking." Big brother, you don't need to worry, give me 3,000 soldiers, and I will capture Lu Bu for you. Since he is here, I will go to him. ”

Zhang Fei's headless sentence, everyone ignored this sentence intentionally or unintentionally.

"Yide, can you be quiet for a while, I didn't see that the eldest brother was in a bad mood." Guan Yu said to Zhang Fei on the side. As he spoke, Guan Yu also provoked his Danfeng eyes and glared at Zhang Fei.

Hearing Guan Yu scolding himself, he was glared at by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei muttered a few words secretly, and then stopped talking.

Zhang Fei stopped talking, and the meeting room fell silent. The whole hall fell into a very solemn anger again. Lu Bu's 20,000-strong army was like a mountain, pressing everyone in the hall a little hard to breathe.

"Lord, Lu Bu is powerful, and if we can't fight it, facing it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg." Sun Qian got up and said.

Hearing Sun Gan's words, Zhang Fei pursed his lips, and just as he was about to refute it, he saw Liu Bei staring at him, so Zhang Fei could only pout, and then stopped talking. However, although he didn't speak, Zhang Fei still pricked up his ears to listen to how the matter was resolved.

"I also know about this, but Gongyou, you also know that Xiaopei's defense is weak, even if it is defense, I'm afraid it won't last long." Liu Bei said with a very solemn face. Today's situation can be described as worrying, and it is a dilemma.

Withdraw, the territory that I have won so hard will be lost, but I don't know how long I can hold it. And with his thousands of soldiers, how could he defeat Lu Bu's 20,000 army.

"Lord, you might as well ask Cao Cao for help." Mi Zhu suddenly spoke. And hearing Mi Zhu's words, a glimmer of hope flashed in Liu Bei's eyes. The reason for this battle was caused by Cao Jun, so it was inevitable to find Cao Jun to help Liu Bei.

And Xiao Pei is the checkpoint from Xuzhou to Yanzhou, to put it bluntly, he is guarding the door for Cao Jun. Therefore, Cao Cao will definitely not watch himself perish with his own eyes.

"It's feasible." Liu Bei nodded. Then Liu Bei turned his head and said to Jian Yong: "Xianhe, this matter will be handed over to you." "Jian Yong is Liu Bei's lecture, so of course it was handed over to Jian Yong to ask for help.

"Don't worry, my lord, I just risked my life and asked Cao Cao to help." Jian Yong stepped forward and said. He knew that Xiao Pei's life and death were all on him, which made Jian Yong feel that he was under great pressure.

"Xianhe will send an envoy to Xuchang now, otherwise, I am afraid that the reinforcements of the Cao army have not yet arrived, and Xiaopei has been broken by Lu Bu." Liu Bei got up and said. Now he has to compete with time, as the saying goes, time is life, and every time he spends a while, the situation he falls into becomes more dangerous.

However, although Liu Bei was confident that Cao Cao would be able to send reinforcements, Liu Bei was still a little worried. Cao's army was strong, but what it lacked was grain and grass. Even if Cao Cao can come to reinforce the army, I'm afraid it won't come too much, after all, grain and grass are particularly important. It is absolutely painful to have a strong army and no military rations.

And just after Jian Yong left Xuchang, Zhao Fei had just received the news from the Taiwei Mansion in Xuchang City, and Cao Cao ordered someone to invite him to go to the discussion with Guo Jia.

Regarding Cao Cao's sudden order to invite him to discuss matters, Zhao Fei secretly speculated in his heart that after Guo Jia came, Zhao Fei took Guo Jia to the Prime Minister's Mansion together.

When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion to inquire about the deliberations, Xun Yu and others were in the hall, so Zhao Fei and Guo Jia were sent to them. In addition to a kind of adviser, there were several important generals of the Cao army.

"Meet the Prime Minister (Lord)." Zhao Fei and Guo Jia saluted together.

Cao Cao nodded, and then asked the two to sit down. After Zhao Fei was ready, Cao Cao said: "There is news from the scouts in front that Lu Bu has led more than 10,000 troops to target Xiao Pei, I am afraid that within a few days, Xiao Pei will break out into war." ”

Zhao Fei nodded secretly. Lu Bu's move was to advance as a guard, which was obviously out of Chen Gong's strategy. And this move is also quite appropriate, with advance as defense, Lu Bu has mastered the entire battle situation, after all, Lu Bu's strength is not much stronger than Liu Bei. Moreover, he didn't have to be afraid of Cao Cao going to Xuzhou to surprise him, after all, Cao's army didn't have much food and no ability to launch a large-scale war.

"Chen Gong is really not a character that can be underestimated, this move is really good." Xun Yu nodded and said. Obviously, he also agreed with Chen Gong's plan.

"However, Chen Gong is a little peep at the elite of Yanzhou." Zhao Fei said with a sinister smile. Although Yanzhou's soldiers are not rich in food, there are elite things under Cao's command. Even if Cao's army can't go out, it can still order two elites, wolves and white horses to attack the rear of Xuzhou. With the elite of the wolf pack and the white horse, Zhao Fei had the confidence to make Lu Bu upset.

"Looking at Pengju's appearance, I must have paid a good attention to it." Xi Zhicai saw Zhao Fei with a hint of a smile on his face, and then looked at his mouth and said. With Xi Zhicai's words, everyone focused their eyes on Zhao Fei.

"Pengju, tell me what you think." Cao Cao looked at Zhao Fei, and then shouted.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Zhao Fei smiled, and then Zhao Fei said: "There is nothing important, but there are some immature ideas. ”

"Lu Bu led the army to attack Liu Bei, just because he saw that at this time, our army was not fed up and could not go to war, but he forgot about the wolves and the two elite soldiers of Baima Yicong. If these two armies are used properly, they can be worth tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers. Zhao Fei said to everyone with a smile. Hearing Zhao Fei's words, everyone smiled.

"What does Pengju mean by using two elite soldiers as reinforcements?" Cao Cao asked.

Zhao Fei shook his head, and in the eyes of the others, there was even more of a car, especially a few strategists, and the smiles on their faces were even better.

Seeing that everyone was smiling, Cao Cao thought about it for a while, and after a while, Cao Cao also showed a weird smile on his face, and then heard Cao Cao say: "Pengju means that the wolves and the soldiers of the White Horse will attack the rear of Xuzhou." ”

Zhao Fei nodded and said, "Liu Bei must be saved, and presumably Liu Bei's people who ask for help will arrive in Xuchang soon." So in addition to rescuing Liu Bei, I also want Lu Bu to suffer from writing. ”

Cao Cao nodded, and then said: "Pengju, your mind is really good or bad, but the worse it is, the more I like it." Cao Cao smiled, and then said: "Zixiao, you go to reorganize the army, and when Liu Bei's envoy arrives, you will lead 10,000 reinforcements to reinforce Xiaopei." ”

"No!" Cao Ren got up to receive the order, and then went down to prepare. After Cao Ren left, Cao Cao ordered someone to invite Zhao Yun and Zeng Pei, and let the two of them quickly lead the wolves and Bai Ma Yicong to sneak into Xuzhou.
