Chapter 552: Expected
Xuzhou, the state of the pastor's house.
At this moment, Xuzhou has already settled down, with the help of those big families, and those ordinary people dare not oppose Cao Cao, although there is still some unpopular opinion, but there is no problem in Xuzhou.
At this moment, Cao Cao was sitting in the state pastor's mansion, holding a letter and looking at it carefully, frowning from time to time, as if he was obviously thinking about something.
"Mengde, Mengde." At this moment, there was an urgent cry outside the door, and with the voice, a figure rushed in, wasn't it Lu Bu or who?
As soon as Lu Bu saw Cao Cao, he rushed over excitedly and shouted, "Good news for Meng De!" β
He hesitated that Chen Gong tried his best to develop Yangzhou's affairs, so he had no choice but to stay in Yangzhou in person, and couldn't follow him Lu Bu's side and give him advice.
And Lu Bu now also knows what self-knowledge is, he Lu Bu is really not a smart pig, so once something happens, then he will find this Cao Cao, discuss with him, and then make a decision.
Cao Cao put down the letter in his hand, raised his head, glanced at Lu Bu, and said helplessly, "But do you know the news that Guo Jia is returning to Youzhou from Jingzhou?" β
Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that this Cao Cao had already known the news. In fact, it's no wonder, after all, although the two of them have already formed an alliance, it is obvious that many places still have to be separated.
Just like this intelligence system, it is naturally impossible for the other party to intervene, and this aspect. Without the help of Chen Gong, Lu Bu was obviously inferior to the treacherous and cunning Cao Cao, so he got this important news later.
But soon Na Lu Bu came back and waved his hand nonchalantly. shouted excitedly, "Since Meng De has known for a long time, what are you waiting for, as long as you can kill this Guo Jia, then you will undoubtedly be able to break his Liu Yao's arm, especially that Guo Jia is now only a thousand people around him, such a good thing must not be let go." β
Cao Cao was not as excited as Lu Bu when he heard this, but the sadness between his eyebrows became deeper and deeper.
Lu Bu saw Cao Cao's appearance like this. is also a little confused, today's Cao Cao is completely different from before, obviously something big has happened. Otherwise, he Cao Cao would definitely not be this virtuous, seeing this, Lu Bu hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, Meng De, is something happening?" β
Cao Cao nodded. He handed the letter in his hand to Na Lu Bu.
Lu Bu looked at Cao Cao so strictly. I also knew the importance of this matter, so I quickly took the letter and read it carefully.
"What, then Liu Yao actually had 200,000 soldiers on the border between Yanzhou and Yuzhou!" As soon as Lu Bu finished reading it, he shouted out loudly, and his tone was full of anxiety.
You must know that in order to deal with that Yuan Shu, he Lu Bu took out almost all of his family resources, and now he Chen Gong is in Yangzhou. He is in Xuzhou, and Yuzhou is only guarded by Zhang Liao and 50,000 troops. Where will it be the opponent of the 200,000 army, so this is not in a hurry.
You must know that this Yuzhou is his Lu Bu's old base camp, he Lu Bu has been operating for so many years, he can do without Yangzhou, but he must not live without this Yuzhou.
"No, how can Wen Yuan be that Liu Yao's opponent, I want to bring the troops back to help!" Lu Bu muttered to himself, and was about to rush out directly.
"Wait a minute, Bong-sen!" Seeing this, Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Na Lu Bu.
"Let it go!" However, where would Cao Cao be that Lu Bu's opponent, especially now that Lu Bu is already a little messy, he was immediately led by that Lu Bu to stumble, if it weren't for his Lu Bu's sanity, he still had zΓ i. If he Cao Cao stopped him like this, I am afraid that he would have been killed a long time ago.
Cao Cao hurriedly slowed down his body and avoided the ending of his wolf falling to the ground, but seeing that Lu Bu was still rushing out, he couldn't help but roar angrily, "Lu Bu, have you forgotten what the public platform said!" β
Immediately, Lu Bu was a spirit, trembling all over, and the footsteps that strode outward were also forcefully listened to.
"Fengxian, you are reckless, I am not by your side this time, listen to Meng De's opinion if there is anything!" Chen Gong's voice like a magic sound had been surrounding his Lu Bu's ears at this moment.
He Lu Bu may not listen to other people's words, even Dong Zhuo did not completely make him Lu Bu succumb, but there is only one exception, and that person is naturally Chen Gong.
He Lu Bu knows very well what people are good to him and who is not good to him, and he Chen Gong is naturally the person who is the best for him, so for his opinions, he Lu Bu still listens to him.
Today, Na Lu Bu turned around, bowed to Cao Cao, and apologized, "Meng De, I was offended before, don't blame me!" β
After listening to Lu Bu's apology, he Cao Cao felt a little more comfortable, after all, he Lu Bu is such an arrogant person, and he can take the initiative to admit his mistakes, which is already a precious thing. And the most critical point is that it is obvious that this Lu Bu has come to his senses, and he is no longer frizzy and anxious before.
"It's okay!" Cao Cao waved his hand and said magnanimously, "Feng Xian, please rest assured, then Liu Yao is also Chen Bing at the border of Yanzhou, and my worries about Yanzhou are the same as your worries about Yuzhou." β
Lu Bu was also stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized. Yes, his current situation in Yuzhou is exactly the same as Cao Cao's Yanzhou.
He is worried about that Yuzhou, isn't he Cao Cao worried about that Yanzhou, and now that he Cao Cao can still be so calm, then naturally there is only one possibility, that is, this Cao Cao already has a solution in his heart.
"Meng De, what the hell is going on, you tell me clearly, I'm really anxious!" Lu Bu said urgently.
"I only got the news today, and I don't know too much about the specific situation, but I always feel that there must be something strange about this matter!"
Looking at Lu Bu's look full of question marks, Cao Cao hurriedly explained, "This 200,000 army came a little too suddenly. Why didn't it appear before, but at this juncture? β
Lu Bu also had some enlightenment when he heard this, and asked with a little anger, "You mean that Liu Yao sent an army of 200,000." That's to deter us, let's not think about using our brains against that Guo Jia! β
What kind of person is he Lu Bu, this Liu Yao's meaning is already obvious, that is, threatening people, how can he Lu Bu not be angry.
Cao Cao is still Cao Cao in the end, and he didn't have the slightest anger at such a thing, and said lightly, "Not bad." That Liu Yao has just been in the Sizhou for a few years, and he is in the stage of cultivation, how can he risk sending troops at this time? β
"Damn!" Lu Bu slammed his fist on a table beside him. Immediately, the table, which had only been used for a long time, ended its mission and became two paragraphs: "Did you just let go of that Guo Jia, such a great opportunity will not appear in the future!" β
He Lu Bu is still unwilling, unwilling to give up such a great opportunity. A top strategist like Guo Jia. If in normal times. That must have been heavily protected, where would there be such a situation today, there are less than a thousand guards around, if you miss this opportunity, it can be said that it is more difficult to kill that Guo Jiana than to ascend to the sky.
In this regard, he Cao Cao also sighed helplessly, so the importance of Guo Jia to Liu Yao was naturally clear to him. If he really killed that Guo Jia, then Liu Yao would be ready to break the net, and it would be impossible to say if he would launch the final battle now. Therefore, he Cao Cao didn't dare to bet.
Lu Bu glanced at Cao Cao, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. said coldly, "Meng De, as long as we do it cleanly and don't leave a living mouth, even that Liu Yao has no excuse to say anything, besides, Guo Jia is now in the Jingzhou territory, if he dies there, maybe the trouble is that Liu Biao." β
He Lu Bu is still a little unwilling, and wants to gamble, if he can not leave a single living mouth, and then push this matter on Liu Biao's body, then Liu Yao may not be able to find any excuse to send troops.
Cao Cao unceremoniously glanced at Lu Bu. At this time, the person who dared to send someone to assassinate that Guo Jia, except for him Cao Cao and Green Coin, there was really no one else. Liu Biao, that guy, how dare he, it's a joke.
But thinking about it this way, he Cao Cao naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to say such a thing.
"Feng Xian, you forgot one thing, the thousand people around Guo Jia are not ordinary people, but Liu Yao's most elite assault battalion. Feng Xian, how many people do you think you have to bring with you to leave none of them there! Cao Cao asked lightly.
"Hmph, isn't it just a thousand people, I only need to bring two thousand ......" Saying this, Lu Bu also suddenly paused, and his face was slightly red, obviously a little embarrassed.
Earlier, when he heard Cao Cao's question, the arrogance in his bones suddenly rose, and he wanted to say that as long as he brought two thousand wolf riders, it was enough to leave those thousand people behind.
But halfway through his words, he stopped, helpless, even he felt that he was blowing a little too big. If it was a thousand ordinary soldiers, then he would not still have the confidence to take 2,000 people and wipe them all out, leaving not a single survivor.
But now that 1,000 people are a stormtroop battalion, as for the strength of the assault battalion, he Lu Bu is very clear, and the thick iron armor on his body may not even be able to break it.
Of course, just because he Lu Bu can't beat it doesn't mean that he can't kill the soldiers of the assault battalion, with this Lu Bu's huge strength, even if he can't break through the armor, it is enough to kill them.
He Lu Bu is known as the enemy of 10,000 people, the first military general in the world, but if he really fights a thousand charging battalions alone, it will also end up dead and alive, and in the end, he will inevitably end up dying of exhaustion.
There are 1,000 people in the country, and they bring 2,000 wolves to ride, which is also the rhythm of looking for abuse, not to mention destroying them all, I'm afraid that the probability of being wiped out by them is a little higher.
"Ahem!" For a while, he didn't know how to take the green coin, so he could only cough a few times and use it to relieve his embarrassment.
Cao Cao didn't break this point, otherwise with his Lu Bu's arrogant heart, it would not be possible to really turn his face with him Cao Cao.
"It's not hard to defeat the 1,000-strong assault battalion, one plan is enough. But with that Guo Jia here, I'm afraid our plan may not be realized. If it were to be forced, I am afraid that at least more than 5,000 cavalry would be needed to defeat this 1,000-strong assault battalion. But if you want to keep them all, I'm afraid you need at least 10,000 cavalry! Cao Cao said helplessly.
If you want to deal with this assault battalion, it is completely useless to wait for me by relying on the infantry, the assault battalion is simply the nemesis of all infantry, and if you want to defeat them, it is purely a dream, so you can only rely on the cavalry to resist.
But now there is also a very strict problem with that. That's 20,000 cavalry, does he Cao Cao have it, it seems that there really isn't. He Cao Cao has a total of more than 10,000 tigers and leopards, and these tigers and leopards are still bought from naΓ―ve Oh Ni, which is really a bit ironic.
But he Cao Cao didn't have it, but he Lu Bu did. In addition to the 30,000 wolf riders in Lu Bu's hands. There are also 20,000 light cavalry, although they have lost a lot in the previous war, but at least there are 45,000 of them, which is enough to deal with that Guo Jia, but is he Lu Bu willing to kill that Guo Jia, then the 20,000 cavalry will inevitably be a heavy loss, and he Cao Cao doesn't think that Lu Bu is willing to waste so many precious cavalry.
Lu Bu was also stunned when he heard this. What he Cao Cao said did make some sense, but there was still a trace of hesitation in his Lu Bu's eyes.
He Lu Bu was just unwilling. Unwilling to be threatened by this Liu Yao. What's wrong with 20,000 cavalry, the big deal is the loss of 50 million cavalry, as long as Guo Jia can be killed, it will be enough to return to this fare, and the most important thing is to be able to take out this bad breath.
The trace of hesitation in Lu Bu's eyes was captured by Cao Cao very keenly, and he shook his head helplessly, and said, "And, Fengxian, have you ever thought that if you take 20,000 troops to kill that Guo Jia, with that Liu Yao's intelligence ability, he will not get the news." And once he grabbed the evidence and knew that it was us who killed that Guo Jia, what would happen next, have you ever thought about it! β
Forehead! Lu Bu, who originally had a little plan in his heart, was instantly extinguished by his Cao Cao's words.
That's really the truth, if he Lu Bu only sent out one or two thousand cavalry, then it's okay, it's a big deal to push it to the bandits or that Liu Biao when the time comes. At that time, even if Liu Yao decided that they were doing it so fine, they would just die and not admit it, and when the time comes, there will be no evidence, and it will not be what they want.
But now it's different, according to their previous inference, if they want to kill that Guo Jia, if they don't have to stay alive, at least 20,000 cavalry is the safest. But this is the safest way, which is obviously already selling them.
Among the princes from all walks of life today, most of the soldiers under Liu Biao in Jingzhou are naval infantry, and this cavalry is pitiful, and whether it can exceed 5,000 is still a big problem.
As for Liu Zhang, let alone that, Yizhou is full of mountains and forests, and there is no such thing as cavalry there. Liu Zhang is like this, let alone Zhang Lu. As for the bandits, it's even more hehe, not to mention whether there is a bandit gang of more than 20,000 people, even if there is, if they can have 20,000 war horses, then what kind of bandit should they be, sell the horses directly, it will be enough for them to live, and what kind of life will they live with a knife and lick blood.
Therefore, the people who can take out 20,000 cavalry at one time, except for him Lu Bu, there is really no one else. If he Lu Bu really did this, wouldn't it be obvious to provoke him Liu Yao, then Guo Jia was killed by me, and you have the ability to bite me.
And he, Lu Bu, was sure that if he was really so provocative, then the 200,000 troops of Liu Yao stationed on the border of Yiyu Prefecture would definitely go south without hesitation, and he would directly set foot on this Yuzhou first.
It will definitely not be able to beat, 50,000 against 200,000, even if Zhang Liao has the ability, it will definitely not be able to hold it. Then he can only watch the fall of Yuzhou, which is something that he Lu Bu absolutely does not want to see.
"Hey! Are we really going to let go of that Guo Jia like this! Lu Bu sat down, and the whole person was like a deflated ball, listless.
Cao Cao was also a little depressed, especially when he always felt that there was something strange in this matter, but he couldn't say where the problem was, so he could only sigh helplessly. As for this Guo Jia incident, let's just assume that it hasn't happened.
What should they do next, he wants to take advantage of this great opportunity to develop his own strength, and if he has more strength, he will have an extra chance of winning in the duel with Liu Yao in the future.
Hundreds of miles outside Nanyang, Jingzhou, there is a team of 1,000 people slowly heading towards the north, leisurely along the way, without half a point of impatience, this line of people is naturally Guo Jia.
Nanyang is the gateway to Jingzhou, as long as you pass through GuΓ², you can enter the boundary of Sili.
"Fengxiao, is our speed too slow, in case someone suddenly attacks, we will be very passive!" Zhao Yun on the jade lion in the night was full of sadness, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but come to Guo Jia's side.
A few days ago, the speed of their march was still very new and fast, until a few days ago, they met a spy from Youzhou, and then they didn't know what was going on, he Guo Jia suddenly stopped in a hurry, and now it has become like this.
"Haha, Zilong, don't worry, we were all tired before, and now we can finally rest and rest, why rush for a while, and make ourselves so tired!" Guo Jiaman shouted nonchalantly.
Zhao Yun frowned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, but became more and more vigilant. Now it's him Guo Jia, whatever he says is what, and he just needs to protect his safety.
Zhao Yun's demeanor naturally fell in Guo Jia's eyes, but he didn't say anything, his face was leisurely, but no one could see that there was a letter in his cuffs, and the handwriting of that letter was so familiar. (To be continued......)
