Chapter 118: Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf
In the second year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu became emperor and tried to marry Lu Bu.
Who would have thought that Lu Bu, under the persuasion of Chen Jue, actually killed Han Yin, the envoy of Yuan Shu, which made Yuan Shu furious.
This son of a family with a high self-esteem does not mean that he values Lu Bu very much, or how much he cherishes Han Yin. It has been an unwritten rule since ancient times that the two countries will not fight each other. What's more, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu are not enemy countries, Yuan Shu sent an envoy with good intentions, but you Lu Bu killed my envoy, not only broke the rules, but also slapped Yuan Shu naked.
How could the arrogant Yuan Shu endure such humiliation?
Therefore, Yuan Shu set up a seven-way army, attacking at the same time with Qiao Rui, Ji Ling, Chen Ji, Le Zhu, Zhang Xun, and Yang Hong, and at the same time leading an army, a total of seven soldiers and horses, to conquer Xuzhou. For a time, Xuzhou was filled with gunsmoke.
Chen Ji, one of the commanders of the Seven Route Army, is not Yingchuan Chen Ji, but Danyang Chen Ji.
Yuan Shu was menacing, and the tens of thousands of troops were even more terrifying.
In the city of Xiapi Wang, the lights are bright.
Lu Bu's face was as usual, and he sneered.
But the generals under his command had different expressions.
Zhang Liao's eyes closed slightly, and he didn't seem to care; Cheng Lian and Cao Xing were excited, eager to try; Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Xu looked nervous, and even looked a little flustered. Among the eight strong generals, Hao Meng is dead, Zang Ba listens to the tune and does not listen to the announcement, and stays in Langya. In addition, there was also a young man who was staring at Liu Chuang, and there was even more resentment in his eyes.
Liu Chuang sat at the top, and Chen Gong accompanied him.
He was keenly aware of those resentful eyes, and couldn't help but look at them in surprise.
"Gongtai, who is that?"
"This person is Yilu under the tent of Marquis Wen, named Qin Yi."
Qin Yi?
Liu Chuang felt that this name seemed familiar, so he asked, "He looks at me like this." What does that mean? β
Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, and then showed a strange smile.
"Gongzi captured Pengcheng and captured his wife, could it be that Gongzi didn't know?"
Duche!
This guy is Qin Yilu.
Liu Chuang suddenly thought of this Qin Yi and understood why this Qin Yi was full of resentment.
It's normal, my wife was captured by others, and of course I was unhappy. But more importantly, he fled back to Pengcheng. I swore that it was Wei Yue. But it was later discovered that the reason why Wei Yue attacked was the result of his Qin Yi's coaxing.
In this way, Zhang Liao and others couldn't help but be quite disgusted with Qin Yi, even Lu Bu. I was also a little dissatisfied with him.
Qin Yi's status in Xiapi was naturally reduced.
Although he can still participate in the discussion, most of the time, there is no room for him to speak.
Which one should I blame for this qiΔ?
Qin Yi and others naturally wouldn't blame themselves, and he didn't dare to complain to Lu Bu. So the resentment in his heart was transferred to Liu Chuang.
It's a pity that today's Liu Chuang is not something he can retaliate against.
"Today, Yuan Shu has raised troops. Seven ways to conquer, I don't know what the princes have in mind? β
Before Lu Bu's words fell, Qin Yi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and jumped out and said loudly: "Junhou." Yuan Shu's troops were astonishing, and nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Seven Route Army attacked. Unbeatable. For today's plan, when you invite a messenger to make peace with Yuan Gong, presumably Yuan Gong will not insist on going his own way. β
Qin Yi is right!
Yuan Shu is now the target of everyone, and if he resists Lu Bu hard, it is inevitable that both will lose.
Therefore, Yuan Shu may not really fight to the death with Lu Bu, as long as Lu Bu bows his head, Yuan Shu may withdraw his troops and stop fighting.
But the problem is that what Qin Yi said is too sycophant.
Yuan Shu is not here, his title of Yuan Gong Chang and Yuan Gong Short makes many people feel a little uncomfortable.
Wei continued: "Junhou, what Boyou said is also reasonable, Yuan Shu is menacing and invincible, so please make peace first, please think twice." β
"Dare to ask, how does General Wei ask for peace?"
Cao Xing asked in a deep voice on the side.
He didn't pay attention to Qin Yi at all, as if there was no such person in this room at all.
Qin Yi stood there, feeling so embarrassed. He didn't stand or sit, and he retreated for a long time.
Wei continued: "Actually, this matter is not difficult, what Yuan Gong did is just a bell."
As long as the prince sends the bell to Shouchun, the marriage between Yuan and Lu will be a match made in heaven, and presumably Yuan Shu will naturally withdraw his troops and stop the war. β
"Wei Xu, you are so faceless."
Without waiting for Cao Xing to speak, Cheng Lian scolded angrily: "If you want the prince to start from the state and dominate the world, how can you ever be afraid?"
Yuan Shu? There are no virtuous children, seven-way soldiers and horses, and they are regarded as rabble. Wei Xu, you don't want to fight, but want to use the bell to eliminate disasters and solve problems, what is the reason? Could it be that I have no boy in Xuzhou? To exchange a little woman for glory and wealth, a certain disdainful of it. β
"What do you mean by that?
I'm just talking about things, and I don't mean anything else.
Now Yuan's technique is powerful, and it is the reckless man to avoid its edge and blindly fight to the death. Even if you fight to the death, won't it be cheap for others when the time comes? Gongjiu, I am not cowardly, but I am really thinking about the foundation of the prince. Even if you defeat Yuan Shu, isn't it a big loss of vitality? β
"If you don't fight, you have to ask for peace, what is this non-cowardice?"
"You ......"
Cheng Lian Cao Xuan seemed to have a lot of trouble with Wei Xu and the others, and they actually quarreled in the lobby.
Lu Bu felt extremely embarrassed, before the fucking fight started, his own people were in chaos first...... What's more, it's not just my own people here, but also Liu Chuang watching the excitement on the sidelines, which is simply embarrassing. Lu Buton's face was gloomy, and his heart was even more angry.
"Shut up!"
He snapped and slammed the case.
Cheng Lian and Wei Xu immediately fell silent, but they still looked at each other angrily.
Lu Bu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and then forced a smile to himself, and said in a deep voice: "Meng Yan, what do you think this matter should be?" β
Liu Chuang wanted to say: Lu Bu, you really don't know how to be a man!
This room is full of your people, not to mention the arrogant soldiers, and the resourceful ones. If you don't ask them, but ask me an outsider, doesn't that make them feel guilty? You, you, you're really good at fighting. You are really naΓ―ve.
After Lu Bu finished asking, the faces of the people in the room were not very good-looking.
At this time, Liu Chuang naturally wouldn't be the first bird, so he smiled slightly, "Under the prince's account, General Wu Youwen Yuan can strategize, and Mr. Wen Yougongtai can plan to settle the world." This kind of thing, the prince doesn't ask them. Why do you ask me? I'm not familiar with the soldiers and horses of the prince, and I don't even know how many people you can call under your account now? Hehe, the prince asked me, I'm afraid I asked the wrong person. β
Zhang Liao's eyes opened suddenly. Gaze at Liu Chuang.
Chen Gong, on the other hand, shook his fan gently, with a strange look on his face.
Lu Bu slapped his forehead and glared at Wei Xu and Cheng Lian fiercely, "But I was stunned by your quarrel, Meng Yan must not laugh at me." β
Liu Chuang smiled slightly, picked up the bronze jue, and took a sip of wine.
"Wen Yuan. What do you think? β
Liu Chuang gave Lu Bu a very comfortable step, and Lu Bu slid down the pole.
Don't blame me, I asked Liu Chuang just now. I don't underestimate you, but I'm really dizzy by those guys.
Zhang Liao's heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
At the same time, he was also evaluated by Liu Chuang's 'strategizing'. I have a good impression of Liu Chuang.
He had dealt with Liu Chuang, in fact, a few months ago. Although the two have not really clashed, they have also been in contact. He was not bored with Liu Chuang, and after learning that Liu Chuang was a famous family, after the uncle of the Han Emperor, he had a little respect. Now...... This level of friendliness has been taken to the next level.
This Liu Chuang is not what those good people say, he is a reckless man who only knows how to kill and is arrogant.
This person is delicate and considerate of other people's feelings, but he is a remarkable person.
Zhang Liao thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Shu goes hand in hand with seven roads, which seems to be strong, but in fact, as the public said, it is a rabble. β
This sentence, coming out of Cheng Lian's mouth, Lu Bu will think that Cheng Lian does not know the importance and is a reckless man; But if it comes out of Zhang Liao's mouth, it's different. Zhang Liao is bold and careful, and will not draw conclusions lightly. But what he said naturally had a point.
"Wenyuan, how can you see it?"
"There are few people in the seven-way army.
As long as one road is broken, the remaining six soldiers and horses will naturally not dare to advance.
Summer is approaching, and the heat is unbearable...... Yuan Shu probably didn't dare to stalemate with the prince for too long, and when the time came, he would naturally withdraw his troops and stop fighting. β
When Lu Bu heard this, his eyes narrowed.
"Gongtai, do you think so too?"
Chen Gong shook his fan and smiled, looked at Zhang Liao, and said in a deep voice: "Wen Yuan, who do you think you should be beaten?" β
"Zidang and Yuan Shu confronted."
Chen Gong thought for a moment and said softly: "Although Wen Yuan's plan is good, it is still a little reckless.
Compared with the other six-way soldiers and horses, Yuan Shu has the most powerful troops...... If it is an enemy of strength, I am afraid that the prince and the prince will also suffer a lot of casualties, and this two will lose both. I thought that when I hit all the way, pull all the way. β
"Hit all the way, pull all the way?"
Chen Gong nodded, turned his head and said, "Junhou, the palace has a plan, but it can defeat Yuan Shu." β
"Please speak on the public platform."
"Please Wen Yuan sit in Xiaqiu, gather with Yuan Xia to block Yuan Shu's troops and horses all the way, only defend but not attack, and delay time.
Among the soldiers and horses of the Seven Roads, outside of Yuan Shu's first road, Zhang Xun's troops should be the most prosperous, but most of his troops are rabble, although the troops are prosperous, but they are not enough to trouble. When the prince and prince lead his troops and horses to attack it, he will be able to win a great victory. In this way, Chen Ji's army is the weakest, and when the time comes, he is afraid, and the prince sends people to persuade him to surrender, and he will be willing to surrender. In this way, the Seven Route Army was broken on both sides, and Yuan Shuyan dared to attack again? β
Liu Chuang sat on the side, a little surprised.
He had seen with his own eyes how this top strategist came up with advice.
Liu Chuang had some impressions of the battle between Yuan and Lu in history, he knew that Lu Bu would win in the end, but it was not clear how he would win.
Chen Gong's plan is extremely feasible.
Liu Chuang nodded lightly, and couldn't help but admire.
Lu Bu was silent, and after a while, he suddenly slapped the table, "The public station has a very good plan, so it will be according to what the public station said." β
Next, it is the specific deployment of troops.
Liu Chuang listened to it with relish, and from Lu Bu's deployment of troops, he also saw a lot of things, and felt that he had gained a lot.
After everyone dispersed, Chen Gong stayed.
"Junhou, I have a word, I don't know whether to say it or not."
Lu Budao: "It's okay to say it. β
"Now the prince and the marquis personally led the troops and horses to attack, and someone needs to be in charge of Xiapi."
"Oh?"
"Liu Gongzi has a high character and unparalleled bravery.
Now that the prince and marquis are on the march, why not let Liu Gongzi stay in Xiapi? In this way, it can also make Liu Gongzi feel the sincerity of the prince. β
When Lu Bu heard this, his brows suddenly frowned.
He looked at Chen Gong. And Chen Gong had a calm face.
If there is another person, Lu Bu will inevitably be suspicious. For example, is Chen Gong and Liu Chuang already hooking up in one place, wanting to seek Xuzhou? However, because it was Liu Chuang, Lu Bu was a little more tolerant. Among them, the one who has the greatest credit is not Chen Gong, but Lu Lan.
After returning to Xiapi. Lu Lan chattered a lot of good things about Liu Chuang.
For example, when she first quarreled with Xun Dan, Liu Chuang did not hesitate to stand on her side and teach Xun Dan a lesson......
For example, Liu Chuang hooked up with her.
Like what. How does Liu Chuang ......
Mrs. Yan, that is, Lu Lan's biological mother, and Ren Hongchang, also known as Diao Chan, when she talked to Lu Bu about this matter in private, she couldn't help but smile and said to Lu Bu: "Ling'er has grown up, and it seems that she is quite fond of Liu Gongzi. And Liu Gongzi also loves her very much. β
Lu Bu naturally loves Lu Lan very much.
Liu Chuang was able to stand on Lu Lan's side and speak, so he naturally showed his kindness to Lu Bu.
"Public station. Do you think that Liu Mengyan is credible? β
"Junhou, Liu Mengyan has great ambitions and can distinguish the importance even more.
When I was talking to him in Gaomi. You can feel it out, he is in Xuzhou. There is no ambition. Now if Xuzhou falls into his hands, it is not a good thing. Moreover, if he befriends the evil prince, he will also fall into an isolated situation in the North Sea. Therefore, the prince and him, the union will benefit both, and the division will do two harms...... Hehe, don't hide it from the prince, I think that even if the prince sends Xuzhou to him, he may not be able to look at it. β
Lu Bu frowned, a little unhappy.
"Gongtai, what do you say?"
I worked hard and tried my best to seize Xuzhou, but you Liu Chuang still can't look down on it?
Of course, Lu Bu felt uncomfortable in his heart, so when he asked, his tone naturally became a little stiff......
Chen Gong said: "The prince is angry, I think that Liu Gongzi's consideration is quite realistic. β
"Speak!"
"Xuzhou is no longer the place where money and grain were abundant.
Moreover, it is located in Jianghuai, which is the land of four wars. Sun Ce in the south is eyeing Guangling, and Yuan Shu is even more coveting Xuzhou, which is not a one-day thing; There is Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the west, adjacent to Xuzhou, and Yuan Shao in the north, sitting on Qingzhou. Xuzhou, backed by the sea, has no way out, and the clans in the state are strong and powerful, and it is not possible to calm down in the short term. These many factors are mixed together, and it is destined that Xuzhou is not a long-term residence.
The prince took Xuzhou with bravery, and he may be scrupulous.
But if Xuzhou is captured with the power of Liu Gongzi, I am afraid that Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and even Sun Ce and Yuan Shu will not give up......
This Xuzhou is based on the prince and the prince, and it is ...... Oh, in his words: It is a coal, and it is not to be grabbed. β
This means: Liu Chuang does not have the power to occupy Xuzhou!
After hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but nod again and again.
Chen Gong saw that Lu Bu was moved, so he hit the railway while it was hot: "Besides, with the bell, Liu Gongzi will definitely do his best to protect it, and the prince has no worries, and he can go all out to meet Yuan Shu." I thought that in the current situation, there is no other suitable candidate except for Liu Gongzi. β
Lu Bu nodded again and again, and couldn't help but let out a light sigh.
"Since the public station said so, I also think that Liu Mengyan is a person who can be trusted."
With that, he stood up and wandered around the room for a moment.
"In that case, let him stay in Xiapi."
"No!"
Chen Gong said again: "In this matter, it is better to let Ling'er tell him, if the prince and marquis come forward, it will inevitably be a little ......
Hehe, Liu Chuang is the Marquis of Guan Ting after all, and he is also the uncle of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the captain of Dongyi. In terms of this status, it is not inferior to the prince too much. β
Don't look at Liu Chuang's age, but his background is destined to be no less than Lu Bu.
If Lu Bu comes forward, it will inevitably mean that the superior orders the subordinates; But if Lu Lan is allowed to come forward, this matter can be said to be more passable.
Lu Bu thought about it, and also felt that Chen Gong's construction made sense.
"Bell, would you like to come forward?"
When Chen Gong heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "Junhou, I thought that Ling'er would be very willing to let Liu Gongzi stay in Xiapi ......."
Lu Bu couldn't help but show a gentle smile.
The female university is not staying!
Looks like I'm going to have to think about it, Bell's dowry!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Xudu, Sikong House.
The bamboo slip in Cao Cao's hand fell on the bookcase with a clatter, and a pair of fine eyes flashed with coldness.
"Liu Chuang, went to Xiapi?"
Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "According to the news from Chen Hanyu, Liu Chuang should have arrived in Xiapi at this time. β
Cao Cao was a little uncalm and wandered around the house.
"Fengxiao, what do you say will be like if this Lu Bu forms an alliance with Liu Chuang?"
Guo Jia said softly: "Lu Bu, Yu Hu also."
However, his background is too poor, and he has a bad reputation because of his previous dynasty, so it is difficult to become a climate; But Liu Chuang is different, he is the uncle of the Han Emperor, and he is the queen of Zhongling, and he is very important to the scholars. If the two form an alliance, it will become a problem for the henchmen, and the lord should plan it as soon as possible. β
"With the heart of Fengxian, can Liu Chuang be tolerated?"
Guo Jia pondered for a moment, "Chen Hanyu sent someone to say that Lu Bu's daughter was in Gaomi before and was very close to Liu Chuang.
Now Lu Bu invited him to Xiapi, ostensibly to welcome back his daughter, I am afraid that he will ...... I have heard that Lu Bu is very fond of his daughter. He had always wanted to marry his daughter to Yuan Shu before, but for Liu Chuang, he did not hesitate to kill Yuan Shu's envoy, which shows that Lu Bu also values Liu Chuang.
In the name of Liu Chuang, with the courage of Lu Bu......"
Guo Jia didn't go any further, but he had already made his intentions clear.
Cao Cao hummed and sat down in deep thought.
After a while, he looked at Guo Jia and asked in a low voice, "Fengxiao, is there a way to crack it?" β
After the defeat of Fang Jingwancheng, although Cao Cao was not injured, his losses were also quite heavy.
What he needs now is to stabilize the situation, not to use reckless troops...... So after thinking about it for a while, he still decided not to send troops for the time being.
Guo Jia didn't understand Cao Cao's intentions, so he smiled slightly, "The lord doesn't have to worry, Jia has a plan, and he can worry about the lord." β
"Fengxiao, Ji will be released?"
"Lu Bu is a wolf, and in the hands of the lord, there is a tiger.
If the tiger devours the wolf, Yuan Shu will be dissatisfied, and then the lord will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and seek to capture Xuzhou without spending a single soldier. β
"You mean ......"
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what Guo Jia meant.
He couldn't help but stroke his palms and laughed: "What Feng Xiao said is extremely true, and now it is just driving the tiger and devouring the wolf!" β
