Chapter 181: A dilemma

Nanpi.

Yuan Tan and Xin Ping returned to their base camp with a group of defeated soldiers, and in the past ten days, they were still in high spirits, thinking that they could set foot on the Beihai Sea and completely dominate Qingzhou, but after the first battle, they were all beaten and became prisoners, and the commander was incompetent and killed the three armies!

"Sir, do you think that Lu Bu will really help me become the lord of Qingzhou and Jizhou?"

Within one day, Yuan Tan asked Xin Ping for the nth time, deep in his heart, the promise to Lu Bu was desired, if he couldn't inherit Yuan Shao's family business, it would be better to simply grab it in one go and do a big career by himself! This is happier than behaving everywhere in front of Yuan Shao.

Xin Ping sighed, his eyes showed a sense of helplessness, "Childe, since you have secretly formed an alliance with Lu Bu, you can only expect Lu Bu to do what he says, in the next opinion, Lu Bu will definitely support Gongzi for the time being, he is in Beihai, Cao Cao is watching on the side, and the lord is sharpening his knife on the other side, looking around, his ally is only Gongzi you!" ”

After a pause, Xin Ping continued: "Lu Bu's army has 25,000 people, but Cao Cao has tens of thousands of people who can be mobilized, if you gather the strength of the two states, it is not impossible to fight for 100,200,000, but Yuan Shu is also staring at Xuzhou in Shouchun, he Cao Cao will never dare to easily mobilize the main force, therefore, the victory or defeat between Lu Bu and Cao Cao, I think there are three or seven numbers, even if you can't win, Lu Bu can leave safely and break through Yanzhou." ”

"The number of three sevens? If he Lu Bu is gone, what should I do? He promised to give me Beihai at the right time. Yuan Tan said.

Beihai has experienced several wars, most of the people have been displaced, and Kong Rong is not a talent to rule the world. A few times down. The North Sea is in tatters. The prosperity is no longer there, and Kong Rong does not want to stay in Beihai, but wants to return to the imperial court, and it is impossible for Lu Bu in Beihai to leave heavy troops to defend, so he simply gave it to Yuan Tan as a personal favor.

Anyway, Yuan Tan made an alliance with him, and he was tied to a chariot with him all his life, as long as he wanted to fight for more benefits, he could only rely on Lu Bu. Therefore, it is most suitable for Lu Bu to place Yuan Tan in Qingzhou.

Disrupting Cao Cao's lair and inflicting a heavy blow on Cao Cao seemed to be impossible to achieve in a short period of time, and Lu Bu could only sigh at this.

When night fell, Lu Bu looked to the west, and Jia Xu sent a letter from Guanzhong.

The battle situation in Xiliang was very good, and Jia Xu fully described the battle situation after Lu Bu left in his heart.

After LΓΌ Bu left Jicheng, he handed over full power to Xun You. Dian Wei and Xu Huang were responsible for assisting, and more than 20,000 soldiers learned that Lu Bu had left. The morale of the army was damaged, and the morale plummeted.

This news quickly reached the ears of Ma Teng and Han Sui, for the two of them, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as they defeated this road of soldiers and horses, Lu Bu would definitely not have the ability to step on it again in three or five years.

For this reason, Han Sui also relaxed the pace of attacking Su Shijiu, but pondered a sneak attack on Jicheng and annihilated Xun You and others in one fell swoop.

Ma Teng of Liangzhou also had this plan, although in his heart it was Han Sui who betrayed Ma Chao, causing Ma Chao to die in battle, but the culprit who killed Ma Chao was always Lu Bu, originally Lu Bu stayed in Jicheng, he was afraid of Lu Bu's tiger bravery, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to attack, but now it's good, his opportunity has come.

So, the two coincided and each sent an elite division to attack Jicheng.

Xun You had long expected that the two would send troops to attack after Lu Bu left, and he asked Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu to lead their respective armies to attack Liangzhou and Jincheng, that is, Han Sui and Ma Teng's lair.

The Xiliang warlords in Xizhou had long planned to submit to the imperial court, and naturally cooperated with Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu.

As for the army sent by Ma Teng and Han Sui, Xun You took Dian Wei to carry out a counter-ambush, and the two soldiers and horses rushed to Jicheng, all the way from the south, all the way from the north, and easily attacked it.

Dian Wei looked at Zhile outside the city, "These two groups of fools actually fought together, it's really exciting!" ”

Xun Yu chuckled without a trace, since he took charge of the army, the generals and soldiers were quite dissatisfied, especially the state army, they were very angry at these later generals and strategists, climbing on their heads.

As a strategist, Xun You was appointed as the commander of the three armies when he first joined Lu Bu, which was very stressful for him, especially when he did not make an inch, Xun You felt that there were many people who excluded him openly and secretly.

He urgently needs a victory to consolidate his position and prestige, and the generals who have just joined the Lu Bu army, Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu, also know that they need military merit!

Ma Teng and Han Sui's two armies fought together all night, and they didn't find out the identity of their opponents until dawn, but it was too late, Xun You ordered the ambush to go out, blocking the four city gates, and Dian Wei and others rushed into the battle group first.

Destroy Ma Han's sneak attack soldiers in World War I!

Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu's two soldiers and horses also went to Liangzhou and Jincheng day and night, which really frightened the troops stationed in the two cities.

Liangzhou is Ma Teng's base for many years, with huge forces and tight defenses, Xu Huang did not take any advantage, so he led the army to withdraw.

Jincheng is too, Han Sui in addition to the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, there are also the warlords of Xiliang of the Eighth Road, and the entire Jincheng is full of soldiers and horses, and Zhang Xiu harassed him and withdrew.

The two quickly attacked Su's dove, and after a bloody battle, they successfully took Su's dove.

Su's dove is the place of horse breeding in Xiliang, and most of the mounts of Ma Teng Tieqi come from here, occupying this place, which is equivalent to having a rich horse production resources.

Lu Bu is bent on creating an invincible and world-wide iron horse, and now, stirrups, saddles, horseshoes and other equipment are all being built, but the most core thing is missing, that is, a good horse!

Under the command of Xun You, the arrogance of the two interest groups of Ma Teng and Han Sui was thwarted, and the warlords of Xiliang were even more panicked.

Xun You, who had won a great victory, quickly advanced and led his army to Su's Jiu to unite with the Xiliang warlords in Xizhou.

And Han Sui also tore his face with Lu Bujun because of this sneak attack.

The three forces occupy Xizhou, Su's dove, Liangzhou and Jincheng respectively. A confrontation was conducted.

Ma Teng originally wanted to use the strength of the Qiang and other tribes. But after Agui was defeated by Lu Bu. The vitality was greatly injured, and all the tribes in Longyou were eyeing him, and he couldn't do anything.

The three sides confronted each other, and a stormy battle quietly brewed.

Jia Xu also hurriedly wrote to Lu Bu, asking Lu Bu to end his trip to Yanzhou as soon as possible, if he really couldn't hit Cao Cao hard, don't waste time, and hurry back to Guanzhong to Xiliang to preside over the overall situation.

It's time to go back!

Lu Bu thought depressedly. He didn't expect Cao Cao and Yuan Shu to make peace so quickly, and he quickly attacked Chen Liu, without giving him time to react at all, otherwise, he would definitely make Cao Cao suffer a heavy blow and vomit blood.

"Warm wait!" I don't know when, Chen Gong came behind Lu Bu.

"Public platform." Lu Bu nodded and responded.

Chen Gong smiled: "Wen Hou wants to go back to Guanzhong?" ”

"Yes, my wife gave birth to a girl, and I am a wife's father. Should go back and check it out. Lu Bu sighed.

Chen Gong said: "Girl? Congratulations! ”

"Hmm!" Lu Bu responded.

Chen Gong said again: "Does Wen Hou still care about the Xiliang war situation?" The person who came from Guanzhong today sent a letter, and Wen Hou saw it. seems to be very happy, it seems that Xiliang's side, Wen Hou's army is fighting well. ”

Lu Bu smiled: "Xun You did a good job! Winning consecutive battles, breaking Ma Teng and Han Sui, and also taking Su Shi's dove, the army advanced into Xizhou, and confronted Ma Teng and Han Sui, and now they are beaten and dare not move, I am afraid that they are planning a new counterattack, so, I am a little worried. ”

Chen Gong: "I see, Wen Hou, Cao Cao, this tiger, we are afraid that we will not be able to hit it easily, Yuan Tan is tied to the same boat with us, this is a stronghold for us to make a comeback in the future, Wen Hou can help Yuan Tan gain a firm foothold in Qingzhou." ”

"Yuan Tan? That's all I can do, I'm going to lead the army back in two days, and I'll fight from the Yanzhou border! Lu Bu suddenly said heroically.

Chen Gong also wanted to compete with Cao Cao for a long time, and with the strength in their hands now, they could play a game with Cao Cao.

Lu Bu also has a knot in his heart, that is, Tai Shici, he saw that the war was far away and the North Sea was stable, although he couldn't guess Lu Bu's thoughts, but he wanted to leave, he couldn't get used to Lu Bu's style of acting, and wanted to go to Yangzhou Liu Xuan.

As time passed, he asked Kong Rong to resign several times, hoping to resign from the position of the chief general of the Beihai Army, originally Kong Rong was the boss, and these can be the masters, but after Lu Bu came, he found that Lu Bu was quite fond of Tai Shi Ci, if he let Tai Shi Ci leave like this, Lu Bu would definitely be unhappy, he would follow Lu Bu to Guanzhong to return to the court in the future, and he must not do something that made Lu Bu unhappy at this juncture.

After getting Lu Bu's accurate return time, Kong Rong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he could finally leave this dangerous place.

"Wen Hou, don't hide it, Ziyi is not a general in our army, some time ago, the Yellow Turban Thieves besieged Beihai, I was trapped here, unable to repel the Yellow Turban Thieves, I am kind to Ziyi, he came to risk death to save him, I also promised him, when the thief retreated, he would let him go, after we defeated Yuan Tan, we had to go to Guanzhong, Ziyi, he thought" Kong Rong is a little stumbling.

"He wanted to leave." Lu Bu took Kong Rong's words and said.

Kong Rong shuddered, "Exactly, I don't know what Wen Hou means?" ”

Chen Gong sat aside, glanced at Lu Bu twice, and said in his heart: If you can't use it for me, you can only kill it as soon as possible, and leave it in the future, but Wen Hou now has some prestige, I'm afraid I won't do this kind of action to kill the hero, alas

Lu Bu was a little entangled, Tai Shici is such a fierce general, he is really reluctant to let him leave him, but he is unwilling to stay here, and he can't make it difficult for others, but if he is let go, he will become his enemy in the future, which is really embarrassing.

If you can't use it, kill it, which might be a good idea.

At that moment, Chen Gong and Kong Rong clearly felt a trace of killing intent in Lu Bu's eyes, which was fleeting!

Lu Bu sighed faintly, "If Ziyi insists on leaving, I can't forcibly leave him, but when he leaves, we must hold a banquet to see him off." ”

"What Wen Hou said is, then I'll do it immediately!" Kong Rong saw Lu Bu nodding, and he was very happy in his heart, and finally had an explanation from Tai Shici.

After Kong Rong left, Chen Gong said: "Wen Hou just let Tai Shi Ci leave, he is a tiger general!" ”

"I want to recruit him as the general of our army, but he just refuses, what can I do if I don't let him go?" Lu Bu smiled bitterly. (To be continued......)
