Xiliang, Jicheng.

The war in the Central Plains quickly spread to Chang'an, and after the transit, this heavy piece of information was presented in front of Lu Bu's eyes.

"Without me stumbling in the back, Cao Cao can be regarded as picking up a big bargain, and he captured Xuzhou so quickly, and on the land of the Central Plains, in addition to his tiger, there are only some little sheep left, and I am afraid it is not enough for him to stuff his teeth."

Lu Bu looked at the information from Jia Xu, and was very uneasy in his heart, if he ranked these heroes of the Three Kingdoms, the first should be Cao Cao, scheming, scheming, military, and political, which one of the things he didn't play.

Such people are very scary! Lu Bu even regretted that he didn't desperately get rid of it in Bianshui, and if he wanted to destroy Cao Cao in the future, he would probably have to pay a great price.

Xun You sat aside, saw that Lu Bu was preoccupied, and asked, "I don't know why the lord is worried?" Can you tell us and let Gongda solve your questions? ”

Lu Bu showed a hint of a smile, handed the letter to Xun You, and said: "I heard that Gongda's uncles, Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo, have the talent to govern the world in Anbang, and it seems that they are officials under Yuan Shao, isn't this Qu Cai?" Can Gongda send him a letter and ask him to come to Chang'an and revive the Han Dynasty. ”

Xun You took the letter and said: "My uncle is not reused under Yuan Shao, and he is about to resign, half a month ago, he wrote that he wanted to go to Cao Mengde to seek a job, and now I don't know how." If the lord wants to reuse it, I will immediately write a letter and send it to my uncle. ”

Lu Bu nodded, in the management of government affairs, responsible for people's livelihood logistics, Xun Yu is a good hand, in history, every time Cao Cao fights, the rear will be handed over to Xun Yu to take care of. In addition to Cao Cao's trust in Xun Yu. It's more about Xun Yu's talent.

In a way. Xun Yu should be loyal to the Han, he pinned the hope of reviving the Han family on Cao Cao's body, and waited until Cao Cao was crowned king, Xun Yu saw the essence of Cao Cao, and resolutely resigned.

Xun Yu had previously held an inconsequential official position in Yuan Shao's office. Lu Bu also sent him a letter, but unfortunately, there was no reply for a long time, and then he saw Cao Cao seize Xuzhou, and only then did he think that in history, he was making trouble in Cao Cao's lair, and it was Xun Yu who guarded it.

Thinking about it, Xun Yu should have gone to Cao Cao's command, and the process of history is accelerating.

Xun You read the letter and looked shocked. "My lord, our strategic policy is to seize Xiliang. Waved Hanzhong, Xichuan, and then marched into the Central Plains, and now it seems that a slight change is needed. ”

Lu Bu asked, "Please give me advice." ”

Xun You put the letter back in its place, "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world has been chaotic, the heroes have risen together, the Han family has declined, and the princes of all walks of life have dozens of roads, large and small, because the Yellow Turban thieves are mainly active in the north, so the north has always been the main place of war, and there are few wars in the south.

North of the Yellow River, Yuan Shao must be the leader, and Gongsun Zan and Liu Fu are not Yuan Shao's opponents at all.

East of Guanzhong, south of the Yellow River, several warlords divided, but the most capable of them is Cao Cao, Kong Rong, Zhang Miao, etc., but jumping clowns, now the Central Plains Xuzhou has also been seized by Cao Cao, in my opinion, soon after, the Central Plains will belong to Cao Cao.

Guan Zhongdi, of course, is the lord. ”

Three points in the north, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, themselves, secession, after a long time, it is another big war.

Lu Bu thought for a moment, "I understand what Mr. means, now Yuan Shao still has Gongsun Zan in the north to contain, he wants to pacify the north of the Yellow River, it will take time, but in the hinterland of the Central Plains, there is no one who can contain Cao Cao, and I am attacking Xiliang, for a long time, giving Cao Cao time to recuperate, his strength will definitely surpass me and Yuan Shao." ”

Xun You nodded, "The lord wants to calm the world, Yuan Shao is not an obstacle, Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang, Liu Biao, etc. are irrelevant, but this Cao Cao will definitely be the number one enemy of the lord in the future, we can't let Cao Cao develop so comfortably." ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he felt that it made sense, if he was allowed to develop on the fertile land of the Central Plains, and when he pacified Xiliang, or conquered Hanzhong and Xichuan, and wanted to clean him up again, the difficulty can be imagined.

Today, an army of 100,000 can be wiped out, but in other days, an army of 200,000, 300,000 horses, or even more may not be possible.

"What is Gongda's idea?" Lu Bu humbly asked for advice.

Xun You pondered, "Lianghuai Yuan Shu, has always been a great achievement, greedy for small profits, he must have coveted Xuzhou for a long time, I expect Cao Cao to win Xuzhou, he will definitely not be reconciled, will definitely send someone to take advantage of Cao Cao's foothold in Xuzhou is not stable, take a bite." ”

Yuan Shu and Cao Cao?

Lu Bu imagined in his mind that the two of them were fighting, and his face twitched, just with Yuan Shu's ability, he played Cao Cao, don't steal chickens and rice, his old nest Shouchun was seized by Cao Cao.

Xun You: "Our primary plan is to take Xiliang, but we can't let Cao Cao develop so easily, I suggest that the lord can send a brigade of divisions, while Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are biting dogs, from behind, give Yuan Shu certain help, in short, can't let Cao Cao live well." ”

Lu Bu patted the case and said: "What Mr. said is reasonable, and it can't still be developed by Cao Thief, but who should I send to conquer Cao Thief?" Our troops are not very sufficient, and this time to pacify Xiliang, we have dispatched all available troops. ”

Xun You's face was embarrassed, "The lack of troops is a hard wound for us, and Cao Cao is very cunning, ordinary people are not Cao Cao's opponents, they must go to a person who is very bold and strategic." ”

As he spoke, Xun You glanced at Lu Bu intentionally or unintentionally.

Lu Bu's eyes were like torches, how could he not see the meaning in Xun You's eyes, "I want to set a fire to Cao Cao's rear, but if I leave Jicheng, these warlords in Xiliang will definitely cause chaos!" ”

Also, most of the warlords of the Twelve Roads of Xiliang are afraid of Lu Bu, if there is no tiger like Lu Bu in charge, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no moths.

Xun Yu coughed dryly, "Lord, I don't know if I should say a word." ”

"Sir, but it doesn't hurt to say that." Lu Bu waved his hand, not caring.

Xun You: "After the lord leaves, the Xiliang warlord will definitely be ready to move. Our army can take advantage of this opportunity. Lure the enemy. Annihilate it, and then take advantage of the situation, I have been in the army for many days, Guan Xu Huang has the responsibility of a general, Dian Wei has the courage of the lord, these two plus me, it is enough to deal with these warlords in Xiliang, it's just "

Xun You's words came to this. How could Lu Bu not know, "In this case, I will personally make a trip, and the affairs of the army will be handled by Mr., and I will give Mr. a sword with him, but anyone who does not listen will be executed on the spot." ”

"Thank you, my lord, I will do my best to live up to my lord's expectations." Xun You clenched his hands into fists. Positive color channel.

Early the next morning, Xu Huang, Zhang Xiu, and Dian Wei will gather together.

Xun You's expression was calm. Standing beside Lu Bu.

Lu Bu looked around and saw that everyone was confused, or excited and nervous, and they all thought in their hearts that Lu Bu was going to march into Liangzhou and there was a battle to be fought.

"There is something going on in Chang'an, I want to go back and deal with it, from now on, the affairs of the army will be handed over to Mr. Gongda, but whoever orders the disrespectful, kill!" The sword I have worn with me for many years is given to Gongda today, and seeing the sword is like seeing me! ”

Lu Bu got up and took off the sword hanging behind him, and solemnly walked in front of Xun You, Xun You also had a solemn face and stretched out his hands.

Everyone was shocked, now that the army is pressing, the war is about to break out, but Lu Bu, who is the commander-in-chief, is gone, this is a taboo for soldiers, and the morale and morale of the army will be damaged!

If those warlords in Xiliang knew that Lu Bu was gone, they would definitely attack them in groups.

Xu Huang immediately came out and said: "Lord, the lord knows that there are some things that should not be asked, and some things that should not be said, but I still have to say, I don't know what happened in Chang'an, and the lord needs to leave in such a hurry?" ”

"Yes, yes!" The crowd chimed in.

Lu Bu showed a small smile, "You don't have to be suspicious, I leave Jicheng, there must be something important to do, you should also obey the orders of the military advisor, pacify Xiliang, I am not here, it is also a test for you, the talent of the general, should have a unique demeanor, I don't know if you can understand?" ”

Xu Huang was shocked, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I understand." ”

Zhang Xiuhu looked at Lu Bu suspiciously, then at Xu Huang, and said in his heart, could it be that the lord left on purpose, wanting to take the opportunity to cultivate a general who can stand alone? That's too much, isn't it?

Dian Wei said with a big grin: "I won't want to stay, right?" ”

"That's right! What an old classic! Xiliang people are fierce, most of the people in the army are tiger brave, you are the first tiger general of our army, how can you leave, if after I leave, you can make great achievements, I will be the court of the table, for you to be a marquis! The same is true for you. ”

Lu Bu said with a smile.

"No! We will live up to the expectations of the lord and do our best to help the military division and pacify Xiliang! Xu Huang, Zhang Xiu and others hugged their fists in unison.

"Good!" Lu Bu nodded heavily.

Xun You took the sword and arranged the affairs of the generals in the name of Lu Bu, and the generals left.

Lu Bu saw that Xun Yu arranged all the generals' affairs, and he was very organized, and he was much more relieved in his heart.

"Gongda, we seem to have ignored a problem, go to Cao Cao's rear to make trouble, but we need soldiers and horses, as I said before, the adjustable forces in Guanzhong are all in Jicheng, am I going to kill Yanzhou alone?"

Lu Bu's head was big for a while.

Xun You smiled, hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, the lord will definitely have soldiers and horses, Cao Cao seized Xuzhou, there will definitely be some people who can't sit still, their strength is weak, they definitely want to hug a big tree, and the lord is this towering tree." ”

"I see." Lu Bu showed a wicked smile.

Cao Cao, you're having a hard time!

Chang'an City.

Jia Xu has been eating and living in the Prime Minister's Mansion for several days, dealing with government affairs in various parts of Guanzhong day and night, this is not how prosperous Guanzhong is, but that there are too few people available around Lu Bu, and he, the first confidant, naturally has to sell his life.

"Damn, the decrees have been issued, and you dare not obey them, confiscate the land that the people have worked so hard to excavate, and fill your own pockets from it, you should be killed!"

Jia Xu scolded indignantly, and with a stroke of his pen, the unlucky county order was finished.

At this time, the pro-army came to report, saying that Chen Liutaishou sent someone to Beijing to report on his behalf.

"Debriefing? Chen Liutaishou - Zhang Miao? He actually sent someone to report on his behalf. Jia Xu was surprised.

Since ancient times, every magistrate must go to the imperial capital every once in a while to meet the Son of Heaven and report on his work.

But since the decline of the Han Dynasty, no one will be willing to come to the imperial capital to report on their work, just kidding, now there are bandits everywhere, the son of heaven is young, and the government is controlled by others, once they leave their own jurisdiction, they don't want to come back alive.
