Chapter 759: Bypassing King Qin
led Wang Liu and Wang Zhen out of the inner courtyard, and as soon as they arrived at the front yard, Liu Wei saw three people standing directly below the stairs from a distance.
At that moment, the person wearing silver armor and white robe was none other than Zhao Yun.
Standing on both sides of Zhao Yun, wearing the armor of the tiger guard, one is Tao Hu, and the other is Lu Bu, who had betrayed Liu Wei earlier, but was now rescued back to Luoyang by Liu Wei's order.
Seeing Liu Wei walking out of the backyard, Zhao Yun and Tao Hu clasped their fists with their hands, quietly waiting for him to come closer.
Although Lu Bu on the side was also holding fists with both hands, his head was lowered, and a sense of guilt appeared on his face.
"The three generals have worked hard all the way, and they have come to the front hall to talk!" When they arrived in front of Zhao Yun and the others, Liu Wei smiled and gave them an order, and then led Wang Liu and Wang Zhen to step up the stairs and walked towards the front hall.
When Liu Wei walked up the stairs, Zhao Yun said to Lu Bu on the side: "Wen wait, please!" ”
"Two generals, please!" After the incident in Xuzhou, Lu Bu was no longer as flamboyant as before, Zhao Yun just asked him to go first, he hurriedly retreated and stood aside, and asked Zhao Yun back.
Knowing that it was impossible for Lu Bu to walk in front of him, Zhao Yun didn't shirk any more, and arched his hand towards Lu Bu and said, "The last general has transgressed!" ”
Bowing his head slightly, maintaining the gesture of please, Lu Bu did not speak, and it was not until Zhao Yun walked up the stairs first that he followed side by side with Tao Hu.
Walking up the stairs, Liu Wei entered the front hall under the escort of Wang Liu and Wang Zhen.
Sitting down in the first seat in the hall, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen stood behind him with their swords on the left and right, staring at the hall door without blinking.
After Liu Wei sat down, he said to Wang Zhen on the side: "Please General Zhao and others enter." ”
"General Zhao, Lu Wenhou, and General Tao are invited in!" After Liu Wei's order, Wang Zhen shouted at the top of his voice.
When Wang Zhen shouted, there was a repetition of the lifelong guardian outside the door.
Zhao Yun and the others were summoned, so they handed over their blades to the guards outside the door and strode into the hall.
"The last general will see His Highness!" Entering the hall, Zhao Yun and the others bowed with their fists and bowed to Liu Wei.
The courtiers raised their hands falsely, and Liu Wei said to them: "Three generals, all the way, return to Luoyang to rest for two days!" ”
"Your Highness!" As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, Zhao Yun clenched his fists and said to him: "I heard that His Highness intends to go south to Huainan, and the last general thinks that Hu Benwei has returned, so he should obey His Highness's orders and take the opportunity to go south!" ”
"What General Zhao said is true!" Smiling slightly, Liu Wei pressed his hand twice to Zhao Yunxu, and said to Zhao Yun: "General, sit down and talk!" ”
The servants thanked Liu, and then sat down in the hall in order.
"The matter of going out to Huainan, this king has been handed over to Yu Linwei under the command of General Gao Shun!" When the servants sat down, Liu Wei said to them: "The three generals will rest in Luoyang, and the army will go out in the future, and then make plans!" ”
On the way, Zhao Yun and the others had already discussed, and when they returned to Luoyang, they asked Liu Wei to let them lead the army to Huainan.
Knowing that the position of pioneer had been handed over to Gao Shun, everyone was stunned.
However, Zhao Yun did not speak, but Lu Bu got up and walked to the middle of the hall and said to Liu Wei with his fists in his fists: "Your Highness, the last general rebelled against His Highness earlier, and the crime cannot be punished!" This time for His Royal Highness to rescue Luoyang, he has no other thoughts, but he is only willing to lead a small number of soldiers to Huainan and be a pawn for His Highness! ”
"Yuan Shu is Wen Hou's sons and daughters!" Liu Wei smiled, and did not mention Lu Bu's rebellion that day, but asked him: "Wen Hou crusaded against Yuan Shu in the name of his own family, I'm afraid it ......"
"Back to Your Highness!" Liu Wei stopped talking only halfway through, and Lu Bu clenched his fists and said to him: "Although the last general and Yuan Shu are in-laws, when they got married, Yuan Shu had not yet rebelled against the imperial court!" Now that Yuan Shu has been proclaimed emperor, and the ambition of the wolf son is clearly revealed, how can he be a family member with the rebel again? ”
After listening to Lu Bu's words, Liu Wei nodded and was silent for a moment before asking Lu Bu: "I don't know how many soldiers and horses Wen Hou intends to lead to attack Huainan?" ”
Liu Wei's words undoubtedly told Lu Bu that his request was likely to be granted.
Lu Bu's eyes lit up, he first glanced up at Liu Bian, and then bowed to Liu Bian with his fists and said, "Two thousand soldiers and horses are enough!" ”
"Two thousand soldiers and horses!" Liu Wei raised his face and looked at the beams in the front hall, and was silent for a moment before asking Lu Bu: "Wen is waiting to go to Huainan here, why don't you go to seek death?" ”
Speculating in his heart how jealous Liu Bi was of him, Lu Bu didn't dare to ask for more soldiers and horses.
Hearing Liu Wei say this, Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say!
"This king successively ordered Deng Zhan and Zhao Yun to go to Xuzhou to rescue Wen Hou's family, but he didn't want Wen Hou to die on the battlefield for this king!" Liu Wei stood up, walked to Lu Bu with his hands behind his back, stared at Lu Bu with a pair of eyes without blinking and said to him: "This king would rather have a living Wen Hou than a dead martyr!" ”
Liu Bian's last sentence made Lu Bu's heart ripple, and countless words came to his mouth, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to stand with his fists clenched and facing Liu Bian.
After staring at Lu Bu's face for a long time, Liu Wei pulled a smile on the corner of his mouth, turned around and walked back to his seat.
After sitting down again, Liu Wei looked up at Lu Bu, who was still standing in the hall with his fists clenched, and said to him: "This king gave Wen Hou 10,000 cavalry and 60,000 hoplites, Wen Hou can have the confidence to break Shouchun?" ”
I was still worried about whether Liu Biao would let him go to Shouchun, and he didn't dare to expect that Liu Bian would give him more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, and suddenly heard Liu Biao say that he would give him 10,000 cavalry and 60,000 hoplites...... This......? ”
"This crusade against Huainan, Wen Hou will be the chief general of the Qin army!" Looking at Lu Bu, the corners of Liu Wei's mouth pulled up a faint smile, and then said to him: "However, Wen Hou has no right to transfer Yu Linwei under General Gao Shun, what Yu Linwei has to do is only to provide Wen Hou with food and grass, supplies and eliminate the nearby enemy army!" ”
I wanted to lead a small group of soldiers and horses to Huainan to take the lead, but I didn't expect Liu Wei to consider letting him lead the main force to attack Shouchun, Lu Bu held his fists and was stunned in the hall, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"Warm wait!" Seeing that Lu Bu didn't speak, Liu Wei smiled slightly and said to him: "Crusade against Huainan, then Huainan Ji Ling is a fierce general, which general will be sent by King Wen Hou to cooperate?" ”
"Ji Lingpifu is just a husband!" Not to Liu Wei's surprise, as soon as he said that Ji Ling was a fierce general, Lu Bu took over and said: "The last general does not need the assistance of others, only the last general can behead all the generals of the Huainan Army under the horse!" ”
"Good!" Lu Bu said with a lot of confidence, Liu Wei said to him with a smile: "This king will personally accompany Wen Hou on the expedition, this crusade against Huainan, Han Xian, Yang Feng, Zhou Cang three generals as Wen Hou's deputy generals, Wen Hou thinks?" ”
Liu Wei not only gave him 70,000 soldiers and horses, but also ordered three generals to give him, Lu Bu was suddenly moved in his heart, and hurriedly said to Liu Wei: "If the last general can't take Huainan, come and see him!" It's just that His Highness is the body of ten thousand gold, and he personally went out to fight......"
"Wen Hou is worried that this king will hinder him in front of the battle?" Before Lu Bu finished speaking, Liu Wei smiled and asked him.
"The last general will not dare!" Clenching his fists and bowing, Lu Bu hurriedly responded.
"Rest assured!" With a smile on his face, Liu Wei said to Lu Bu: "This king does not take the credit of Wen Hou, once he breaks through Shouchun, all the credit will be obtained by Wen Hou alone!" ”
"Your Highness!" After Liu Wei finished speaking, Lu Bu raised his head and looked at him and asked him, "I don't know when His Highness intends to send troops?" ”
"General Gao Shun will lead the army to Huainan tomorrow to open the road!" Looking at Lu Bu, Liu Wei said to him: "Wen Hou and rest in the city for a few days, five days later, this king will accompany Wen Hou to go to the army to fight!" ”
"No!" Clenched his fists and bowed to Liu, Lu Bu took a step back and returned to his seat and sat down.
At the same time that Liu Wei decided to go on the expedition, Cao's army had already launched a fierce attack on Yangzhou.
Outside the city of Yangzhou, Cao Cao rode a war horse, looked at the city wall where a fierce battle was taking place, and asked Guo Jia on the side: "Fengxiao, that Yuan Shu is dormant and Shouchun, Xuzhou is far closer to Shouchun than Yangzhou, why did Fengxiao prevent a certain attack on Shouchun?" ”
"Duke Ming is going to fight with King Qin?" As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, Guo Jia smiled and asked him.
"No!" Shaking his head, Cao Cao said to Guo Jia: "At present, the Qin army is strong, and it is not as good as the King of Qin, how can you fight?" ”
"What Ming Gong said is very true!" Smiling slightly, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "What the King of Qin wants, it is nothing more than the Huaishui coast!" It would be best if Shouchun could advance to the south again, but if it could not advance south, the army would be stopped! Ming Gong got Yangzhou, but he could take a detour to encroach on the entire Huainan, why did he want to grab that Shouchun with the King of Qin? ”
Cao Cao was stunned by Guo Jia's question, and then he suddenly realized that he said to Guo Jia: "Earlier, I always thought that if I broke Xuzhou, I would rob that Shouchun with the King of Qin, and I didn't want to be filial piety!" ”
"Shouchun is going to grab it sooner or later, but not now!" Looking at Cao Cao, Guo Jia said to him: "Right now, the Ming Duke occupies Yanzhou, Qingzhou and other places, and although Hanoi belongs to the Ming Duke, it is occupied by Zhang Yang!" Zhang Yang wanted to serve Yuan Shao for a long time, and Ming Gong decided that he should march into Hanoi, otherwise once he started a war with Yuan Shao, Xu Du would be under the spear tip of Yuan Shao's cavalry! ”
"What does Fengxiao mean is that in addition to having a battle with King Qin, there must also be a battle with Yuan Shao?" Guo Jia mentioned that Xu Du was under the spear tip of Yuan Shao's cavalry, Cao Cao was stunned and asked Guo Jia.
It is no wonder that Cao Cao asked this question, since Yuan Shao occupied Hebei, his power has been in full swing.
Just one Liu Wei already made Cao Cao feel powerless to deal with it, if Yuan Shao was also involved, Cao Cao, who was caught in the mezzanine, was afraid that it would be difficult for him to take a breath.
Turning his head to look at Cao Cao, he saw a trace of depression in Cao Cao's expression, Guo Jia smiled and said to him: "If Cao Gong wants to grow, Hebei must be taken!" ”
