Yan Xing and Yan Yanming secretly sent the news of Lu Bu's arrival, and Cao Cao couldn't help but shudder secretly when he heard it—he was really afraid of something. Lu Fengxian's strategic mind is not good, but his tactical use is first-class, and his personal martial arts are the first in the world - Taishi Ziyi has already hung up - and he came with the momentum of victory, and the elite of Liangzhou in a hundred battles, as he said, "This generation is invincible".

In addition to the above factors (lack of strategy, tactics and superior bravery), it also includes soft ears and the benevolence of a woman - these two shortcomings Sun Bofu categorically does not have. For this kind of goods, if you want to defeat it on top of the dignified battle formation, the hope is quite slim, and you must use stratagems to disintegrate it from the inside and exhaust it from the outside, such as Chen Ping and Han Xin's defeat Xiang Yuye.

Cao Cao's subordinates, such as Chen Ping and Han Xin, don't know how many, so in terms of macroscopia, he is not afraid of Lu Bu. However, the specific problem is analyzed in detail, Cao Jun held the pass that he did not dare to give up, and he was defeated and his morale was sluggish, and at this critical juncture, Lu Bu suddenly reached out and put down a heavy weight on the opposite side of the scale, how could Cao Mengde not be surprised? If you want to defeat Lu Bu, you have to give me enough time to plan and arrange.

Cao Cao ordered the front-line troops to be ready for a fierce battle at any time, and reconnoitred everywhere to spy on Lü Bu's movements and determine his coming. Sure enough, in February, the school came to report that the Chen Gong camp was under construction, and it was estimated that Lu Fengxian was about to arrive on the west bank of Yongshui to expand the barracks.

Although Liu Bei and Chen Gong joined forces to fight, they did not completely twist into a rope and did not really have a unified command - although Chen Gong's reputation was lower than Liu Bei's. After all, there was Lu Bu standing behind him. If it is mixed with the Yizhou Army. If he is annexed, Lu Bu will have to tear him apart. Therefore, on the west bank of Yongzhou, the two armies set up camps and fortified respectively, Chen Gong in the north and Liu Bei in the south. Chen Gong's number of soldiers was originally small, and after a fierce battle with Xiahou Yuan before, the loss was very large; Liu Bei, on the other hand, combined Zhang Fei's nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, which was about three times that of Liangzhou in terms of total number - this can be judged from the size of the camps on both sides.

However, now Chen Gong began to cut down and move trees. Expanding the camp and building more tents was undoubtedly an important signal of Lu Bu's imminent arrival.

There is no doubt that once Lu Bu arrives, he will inevitably enter the new camp first, rest his troops and horses, and at the same time meet with Liu Bei to discuss the alliance again. If the two sides do not have much disagreement in terms of demand, then it is estimated that in ten days at most, they will inevitably unite to launch a new round of general attack on the Wei army. Cao Cao felt. This battle may not be able to withstand itself, and it must be retreated and shrunk to the second line of defense from Du Post to Pickaxe. It is only a stone's throw away from Chang'an City.

So as soon as he waited for Lu Bu to arrive, he immediately sent someone to express his desire to talk to General Lu in front of the battle. Lu Bu said okay, but you have to wait for me to meet Liu Yizhou first.

The meeting place between Lu Bu and Liu Bei was set at the place where the camps of the two sides were combined. Liu Bei pinched the time, arrived in advance, and when he saw Lu Bu from afar, he hurriedly greeted him in person. This is because in all respects, he is lower than Lu Bu - of course, this does not mean that he is slightly shorter and slightly younger, but in terms of prestige, Lu Bu is powerful in the world, and Liu Bei on this timeline is far from being able to compare with him; Speaking of the name, although he is also a state pastor, Lu Bu was named the Marquis of Wen County in the era of Wang Yun, Liu Bei inherited Liu Zhang's Yangcheng Pavilion Marquis, Lu Bu is the heavy general of Zhengxi, and Liu Bei is the general of Zhenwei with the miscellaneous name......

Therefore, Liu Bei immediately greeted Lu Bu first, bowed very respectfully, and honored him with the title of "Prince" - this is also what Xu Shu and Fa Zheng taught him, saying that I heard that Lu Bu has always been arrogant, and even Cao Cao did not dare to treat him lightly, so you should be humble, so that he can be completely pulled into our chariot. Lu Bu was quite satisfied with Liu Bei's attitude, a "virtuous brother", and his posture was quite high, but he really didn't deliberately take a shelf.

The content of the negotiation between the two sides is quite simple, nothing more than Liu Bei scolded Cao Cao for abusing power, saying that he had no intention of rebellion, just to eliminate the traitor and support the Han family, hoping that Lu Bu would do "Zhou Bo and Chen Ping's affairs" with him. Lu Bu asked about the situation on the front line, and then cut to the chase, saying that if we really defeat Cao Cao and seize Guanzhong, then who will this territory belong to?

Liu Bei immediately promised, saying that of course it is all your Lu Junhou's, we only need a narrow strip of land south of Chang'an and north of Nanshan, so that it is convenient to send troops from Qinling to the east.

Liu Bei was a little difficult to ride a tiger. If he is given two or three more years to integrate personnel, calm the place, and accumulate materials, he will definitely be able to compete with Cao Cao in the Central Plains and compete for the world. However, the premise must be that what he has to face is only Cao Cao, who has one out of three parts of the world, not Cao Cao, who not only stabilized the hinterland of the Central Plains, but then swallowed up the thorns and won two of the three parts of the world. Therefore, Liu Beicai hurriedly dispatched troops when Yizhou was not stable, in order to tie up the momentum of Cao Cao's southward trip to Wuhui and buy more time for himself to recuperate.

However, although Xiahou Yuan was slashed and barely gained a foothold in the Guanzhong area, the shallow Yongshui in front of him was never crossed. The reason is very simple, Cao Cao has come, and carries a far greater number of soldiers and horses than his own, although after months of fierce battles, the exchange ratio between the two sides is almost more than one to two, the coalition has an absolute advantage, the morale of the Wei army has not been restored, but the confrontation has been long, and the morale of their own side is gradually falling. And more importantly, the army has been hanging out for a long time, and it is difficult to transport and replenish, and the grain and straw are about to be unable to keep up.

At this time, news came one after another that Sun Quan had surrendered, Liu Qi had fled, Guan Yu and Gan Ning were prevented from returning, and they could not advance an inch.

It's just that he is unwilling, the labor expedition will cause great damage to Yizhou in the rear, if he can't get enough real profits, he will return, I'm afraid he really has to "ten years of life and gathering" before he can go north to the Central Plains again - but will Cao Cao give him this time to recuperate? Cao Cao has Jing and Yang, once it is stable, his strength will also be on a higher level, and at that time, just like Gongsun Shuzhi to Liu Xiu, even if he even uses the means of sending assassins frequently, he will not be able to save the fate of defeat after all.

That's why Liu Bei hopes to be able to get reinforcements from Lu Bu, strike a thunderbolt in order to make a final fight. In this state of mind, how could he not be whispering to Lu Bu? Lu Junhou, since you want the territory, then okay, I will give you the big head, and you can just leave me a passage where I can send troops to the east. When you really enter the Central Plains, there will be a lot of room for maneuver at that time, and if you want to tear your face with you, you can talk about it then.

Lu Bu was quite satisfied with the results of the negotiations, and even when his mind was hot, he immediately promised that the Liangzhou soldiers would be the main attacking force.

Then turning his head, Lu Bu went to see Cao Cao again as promised.

The Wei army built a small pontoon bridge on the shallow Yongshui in advance, and Cao Cao and Lü Bu boarded the bridge from both sides of the river, and then immediately opposite each other. Lu Bu can be regarded as riding alone to the meeting, and the ten athletes behind him are all far away; Cao Cao is not as bold as him, although he also has ten generals with him, but he has an extra Xu Yu by his side - Lu Bu wants to start a fire, but he doesn't care about any faith, maybe he will rush over and take people directly, so he must be guarded against.

Liu Bei's rank is lower than Lu Bu's, but Cao Cao's rank is higher than that of Lu Bu, and logically speaking, it should be Lu Bu who salutes Cao Cao first. But the two horses had just been established, and Lu Bu hadn't made any moves yet, so Cao Cao arched his hand first: "Feng Xian, Qi Kuo is a few years old, and I don't want to see the king's face again today." ”

Lu Bu looks like a tiger, but in fact, his personality is like a cat, you have to follow his fur to brush, you cross him even more, if you treat him politely, he won't be able to pull his face down. So Cao Cao shook it first, Lu Bu hurriedly returned the salute, since Cao Cao didn't care about his name, but called his cousin, Lu Bu also returned: "Meng De, the former was in Dingtao, the king is still fat and strong, why is he thin now?" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, his heart was not good, I said the wrong thing. I told Lu Bu that we hadn't seen each other for a long time, this was a normal greeting, but I neglected to see Lu Bu last time, or under Dingtao City, when Lu Bu came to seize Yanzhou and was driven away by his own efforts...... Don't let Lu Bu remember his old feud, right?

Hurriedly pushed the years forward: "I also met in the Wen's Garden in Luoyang, do you remember it first?" Lu Bu shook his head: "I forgot it." ”

I think that Dong Zhuo led the army into Luoyang and snatched the fruits of the victory of Yuan Shao and others to destroy the eunuchs, not only killed Ding Yuan and He Miao, collected Lu Bu and Wu Kuang, but also took the Son of Heaven hostage by the way. Yuan Shao immediately ran away, but Cao Cao didn't run, he still wanted to see what kind of person Dong Zhuo was and whether he could stabilize the Han family. But just like that, Dong Zhuo thought that this guy had the heart to take refuge, and immediately showed him as a captain of the Xiao Cavalry, Cao Cao panicked - I rely on Lao Dong, what are you in a hurry, I haven't planned to get on your thief ship yet-Hurry up and run away. After that, there was a matter of overthrowing the Kanto region and the coalition forces to discuss Dong.

Therefore, in the short period before Cao Cao escaped, he still had contacts with Lu Bu and other Dong Zhuo's cronies, just to observe whether this emerging armed group could rely on it to achieve great things.

In the original history, Cao Cao finally captured Lü Bu in the White Gate Tower, according to the "Heroes", Lü Bu met and asked: "How thin is the Ming Gong?" Cao Cao couldn't help but wonder: "How can you know loneliness?" Lu Bu said: "In the past, I will be in Wen's Garden." Cao Cao then replied, "Yes, it is a matter of forgetting." So thin, I hate not to get along early. "That was because Lu Bu had to dig out the ancient memories from the depths of his mind in order to survive, and wanted to get close to Cao Cao first.

And in this timeline, the situation is reversed, this time it is Cao Cao who has asked Lu Bu - please withdraw your troops quickly - so he mentioned this matter first, and Lu Bu's answer was also very simple: "I forgot it." "The position is different, and the memory is full of twists.

Cao Cao said in his heart that your attitude is not right, what kind of ecstasy soup did Liu Bei pour into you to make you so hostile to me? Okay, since it failed to get closer to the relationship first, let's get straight to the point - "Where did Feng Xian come to the east?" ”

"Invited by Liu Yizhou, I came to attack the country's thief ears!" (To be continued......)
