Chapter 227: Stirring up the situation
"The back road of the Scribe Hou? Hum! I want to see who is so bold and is not afraid of death. Regarding Wang Yu's warning, Lu Bu scoffed, his face full of disdain.
"That is, Hanoi Zhang Yuanjun is a person who values love and righteousness, and he has a friendship with the prince and the marquis, so he will definitely not be bad. Yuan Highway is too busy to take care of himself at the moment, and even if he has that thought, he has no strength; Cao Mengde felt very good about himself, but he moved a stone to hit himself in the foot, and was dragged by the black mountain thieves, and in less than a year and a half, he couldn't tell the winner at all, but you should tell me, who will attack our army's back road? Could it be that Wang Pengju was that kid thief shouting to catch the thief? ”
Hou Cheng also shouted, if you want to say who is the most wronged these days, it must be a few of them.
Hou Cheng didn't like Wang Yu, it hadn't been a day or two. Earlier, just because of the hostile positions of the two sides, he was not an open-minded person in the first place, and he was naturally jealous of a person like Wang Yu who became famous at a young age.
The real feud was in Luoyang, Wang Yu and Lu Bu fought, so that the trick kicked Lu Bu over, he was temporarily intimidated by the other party's power, did not pursue at the first time, and was used as a punching bag by Lu Bu afterwards, and cleaned it up fiercely.
Hou Cheng couldn't afford to provoke his own boss, so he could only cast his grudge on Wang Yu.
A few days ago, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was very up, and the disparity between the numbers was huge, Hou Cheng was overjoyed, thinking that the enemy had finally arrived on a day full of evil, and pulled a few friends to drink and celebrate, which caused the disaster.
That's a great injustice!
The conscience of heaven and earth, how could he, Hou Cheng, think of taking refuge in a treacherous and shameless yellow-haired child?
At that time, he said those words in an ironic tone, Wang Yu's thoughts to win over Lu Bu are well known, but how can the temper of his own master be a willing person? Impossible! I just wanted to fall into the well and add some blockage to the other party, but as a result, I was beaten up by the boss as a traitor who ate inside and out.
Hou Cheng mentioned this grievance in his heart. Seeing Wang Yu's envoy, he was angry.
"Wen Hou still doesn't know? In order to get out of the predicament, Cao Cao sent a proton to Yecheng, and the reinforcements from Jizhou were led by Zhang Junyi, a famous general in Hejian, and had arrived at the city of Puyang. ”
Xu Shu knew the twists and turns of that public case better than the parties involved, so naturally he would not be entangled with Hou Cheng, an unlucky man.
"Jaws? But the nobody, the famous general in the river, his tone is not small, what is the record at all? Cao Cao couldn't fight the Black Mountain thieves before, just a thousand more horses? What a joke! The sneer on Lu Bu's face was even stronger.
He is alone in Luoyang, which seems to be beautiful, but in fact, he is walking on thin ice, and he is not as careless as outsiders think. He has no powerful relationship in Yanzhou, but he can monitor Yuan Shao's movements through Zhang Yang.
Now that the Jizhou army is gathered, if there are signs of going south or west, Lu Bu naturally does not dare to move lightly, Yuan Shao seems to be generous, but he is actually very stingy, just dividing a thousand troops to Yanzhou to help, so what is there to care about?
Although Cao Cao is also very cunning, if he wants to take Luoyang, he can only rely on his strength to speak after all.
Yuan Shu's predicament sounded the alarm for Lu Bu, and he finally completely understood Wang Yu's state of mind when he left Luoyang. Yuan Shu is unreliable, how many soldiers can't stand Luoyang, a veritable place of four battles, while expanding in other directions, he always has to pay careful attention to the back road, if he is not careful, the nest will be ended.
If Wang Yu is in Luoyang, the surrounding princes are likely to form an alliance to besiege it; Replaced by Lu Bu, although his forces are weaker and there is no danger of being besieged, if he keeps waiting, when the surrounding situation is stabilized, he will only have to find a side to take refuge.
With the experience of being excluded and neglected under Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu has had enough, he doesn't plan to take refuge in anyone anymore, he just wants to rely on his own force to fight for the sky.
So, even if there is a risk, he has to fight once.
"A thousand rides?" Xu Shu was slightly stunned, and then laughed, "Is this how Zhang Yuanjun passed the word?" Or is he himself in the dark? The prince must know that Zhang Junyi's 1,000 cavalry is not an ordinary cavalry, but an armored iron horse! ”
"What?" Lu Bu was taken aback, and Hou Cheng even changed color and got up.
In the army for many years, even if he has never commanded heavy cavalry, he knows the power of this army, the number is only 1,000, but the power is more powerful than 5,000 infantry.
"Figure!" Xu Shu didn't give the general a chance to think or refute, and casually pointed to a personal guard, as if he was commanding his own subordinates.
The guard was a little flustered, looked at Xu Shu who looked at ease, and then looked at his own commander, his eyes trembled, but he just didn't dare to move. Feeling the gaze of the guard, Lu Bu realized that he had lost his temper, he glared at the former angrily, and the guard hurriedly turned out the map from the table and hung it up.
After sending the proton to Jizhou, Cao Cao gave up Puyang and waved his army straight to Baima, seemingly intending to cut off the return route of the Montenegrin army. Yu Poison and the others did not dare to slack off, and chased him closely, the two sides were currently facing each other in Pingyang Pavilion, thirty miles south of Baima, and a battle would start at any time. ”
In Yanzhou, Zhang Miao is the internal response, and Xu Shu's intelligence work is also like a fish in water, introducing the big battle that is going on in Dongjun like a few treasures.
"The terrain around Pingyang Pavilion is flat, the most advantageous cavalry to play, Cao Cao's Yanzhou army and the Montenegrin army are evenly matched, when the battle situation is stalemate, the cavalry with open jaws crossed the river from the white horse, and suddenly appeared behind the Montenegrin army......"
Xu Shu spread his hands and turned his eyes on the generals: "The prince and the generals are all experienced in a hundred battles, what is the result of this battle, there should be no need for more explanations, right?" ”
Lu Bu's face was pale, his brows were deep, but his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
There is no need to look at the face of their own lord, Hou Cheng and the others can also conclude on their own that the Black Mountain Army is just a group of rabble, and they can only draw with Cao Cao by relying on a large number of people. There was no doubt that the moment the 1,000 heavy cavalry appeared behind them was the beginning of the retreat of the entire Black Mountain Army.
After Cao Cao took Dongjun, Liu Dai was in the east, and Qingzhou was in the east, and he had only two options: going south or attacking Luoyang.
I have been working for so long, and in the end I found that it was in vain, so it's no wonder that I can be happy.
"Did your lord call you here just to embarrass someone?" Lu Bu looked at the young man in front of him and spoke slowly.
This person named Xu Shu is a few years older than the cunning boy, and he is not as tall as the cunning boy, but he laughs like he came out of a mold, he is so arrogant and self-righteous.
Lu Bu didn't plan to give the other party too many opportunities to show off his wisdom, but he was also curious, and he wanted to know what kind of trap was hidden behind this smile.
"Of course not, my father-in-law and Wen Hou hit it off at first sight that day, and they had a ...... with each other."
If you listen to it out of context, Xu Shu doesn't look like a messenger, but like a matchmaker. Therefore, as soon as he started, Lu Bu interrupted him impatiently: "Don't come to this set, let's get down to business." ”
"My father-in-law means ......" The confession was interrupted, but Xu Shu was not annoyed, and with the advantage of information, he threw out another heavyweight weight.
"If the prince doesn't want to be trapped in Luoyang, he doesn't have to go to Guanzhong to get chestnuts in the fire. In Luoyang that day, if it weren't for Wang Yunheng's branches, the lord and the prince would not have had so many misunderstandings. Now let's not talk about whether the prince and the prince can succeed, even if it succeeds, it is unknown whether those promises can be fulfilled, and the prince and the prince are asked to think twice. ”
Before the words fell, Lu Bu's gaze froze, and Hou Cheng and the others were even more shocked, "How do you know......" As soon as he said half of his words, he felt that his neck was tight, his body was light, and he was actually lifted up from behind, and the remaining half of the sentence could only be swallowed back.
As if throwing garbage, he casually threw Hou Cheng aside, Lu Bu raised his finger and pointed at Xu Shu, and ordered: "You, go on." ”
Rao is Xu Shu is not small, seeing this scene is also numb, he understands Lu Bu's hint: in the face of absolute strength, resourcefulness can only stand aside, this time, no one wants to use cleverness to take advantage of Ben Hou!
He was not interested in being thrown away by Lu Bu as garbage, so he no longer continued to show off his intelligence advantages, and said bluntly: "The prince can consider entering Dongjun, although Cao Cao's victory is expected, and Jizhou will help, but the north will soon have a big war, but Yuan Shao is still too busy to take care of himself, and how can he have time to help Cao Cao, Wen Hou took advantage of the situation, this is the best policy." ”
Cao Cao was afraid of Wang Yu, and in turn, Wang Yu's most scruples were also Cao Cao, but he couldn't spare his hands to deal with this person for a while.
After the Japanese military meeting, everyone reached an agreement that instead of letting Lu Bu disturb the situation in Guanzhong, it was better to use his hand to deal with Cao Cao. If he is driven out of Dongjun when his foothold is not stable, Cao Cao will not be able to regroup in a short period of time if he has the ability.
And Lu Bu was also from a poor family, and when he drove Cao Cao away, he couldn't balance the many heroes in Yanzhou, so that the threat from Yanzhou was greatly eliminated.
The plan is very good, but Lu Bu is not so easy to deceive, he has dealt with Wang Yu so many times, he always does not hesitate to speculate on Wang Yu's intentions with the greatest malice, so he can see through Wang Yu's intentions at once.
"Hmph, drive the tiger and devour the wolf? Do you really think so-and-so is a fool? Lu Bu snorted from his nostrils, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Is there anything else?" "Looking at that posture, there is a big disagreement, and it means that Xu Shu will be pushed out and cut.
"Actually, even if Cao Cao has a firm foothold in Dongjun, he can't pose much of a threat to my Qingzhou, although my lord has the intention of cutting off the enemy by the hand of Wen Hou, but it is mainly for the sake of Wen Hou. Anyway, since the words don't catch up in your ears, you don't make much noise......"
Xu Shu sighed thoughtfully, as if he was very sorry, "Now that Nanyang is in a fight, why don't you wait and see what happens, and when the dust settles and the highway general retreats to Yuzhou, take the opportunity to go south?" Think that Zhang Ji is just a reckless man, Liu Jingsheng is also a brave person, how dare he be an enemy of Wen Hou? ”
"After Shu left Luoyang, he was about to go to Nanyang to discuss with the highway general, if the prince is interested, I Qingzhou will be willing to be a Chinese person at that time, and urge the highway general to conclude an alliance with your army. Watching and helping each other is better than fighting alone, does the prince think so? ”
Lu Bu didn't answer, but stared at Xu Shu with his eyes. If you are an ordinary person, you are stared at by him like this, even if there is no ghost in your heart, your feet are weak, but how can Xu Shu be an ordinary person? He was calm, looking back lightly, and his eyes were full of sincerity.
After watching it for a while, Lu Bu suddenly smiled: "Okay, good, that kid is really good at demagoguery, and in just a few months, he has gathered so many talents." Since there are two strategies, there should be a lower policy, right? ”
Xu Shu sighed secretly in his heart, no wonder the lord said that this trip was going to go in vain, Lu Bu's temper was even more stubborn than the legend. Anyway, by the way, it should be regarded as an eye-opener and long-term insight, the real purpose of his trip is not Lu Bu, nor Yuan Shu, but Jingzhou.
He said meaningfully: "Since the prince insists on going to Guanzhong Qinwang, my lord just wants to remind the prince that this trip should be steady and steady, and the army should not be too fast, on the one hand, it can ensure the back road, and at the same time, it can avoid being used." ”
The generals only thought that he said too much, but they were all waiting for him to follow, who knew that after waiting for a long time, this next was gone. Cao Xing relied on being valued, and hurriedly shouted: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, what is the reason for saying half and leaving half?" You say to be used, who dares to take advantage of my family's princes, who has such great ability? ”
"Shut up!" Lu Bu turned his head and snapped, then waved his hand, "Send the guests out." ”
Xu Shu bowed and turned to go out.
After Xu Shu left, Lu Bu ordered in a deep voice: "Send someone to Hanguguan and let Wen Yuan come back, just say that there is something important to discuss with him." ”
