Chapter 018: Let's go to Jingzhou

……

Next.

Guangling City, Wenhou Mansion.

Lu Bu knelt on the top seat, patted his thighs rhythmically with his palms, recalled his heroic posture yesterday for a while, and said with a smile:

"Princess, now that Cao Cao has been defeated and the siege of Xiapi has been lifted, I don't know what I should do next?"

Chen Gong, Chen Qun, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zang Ba, and Cao Xing were lined up on both sides, looking at Lu Bu with an intoxicated face, their hearts were full of envy, and they had no intention of discussing matters at all.

What they thought was that Wen Hou was the left Du clan, the right Diao Chan, and the Yan clan was in the middle.

It's really a blessing.

Lu Bu glanced at the six people who were absent-minded, thinking that this was indeed not a good time to discuss matters. Everyone has been trapped in Xiapi City for four months, and they finally got out of the cage and swept away the death crisis hanging over their heads.

But it can't be discussed or not.

People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries.

Thinking of these, Lu Bu also felt a little emotional, the situation in the world at this time has completely departed from the historical trajectory. From the moment he defeated Cao Cao, he completely lost the advantage of foresight, and he didn't know where the situation would develop next.

The only thing he knows is that Xuzhou is not a place to stay for a long time!

If there is only one prince left in the Central Plains, then the battle of Guandu will be staged as scheduled, and Cao Cao is likely to defeat Yuan Shao with the power of eliminating the princes of the Central Plains as in history.

But now, there are still four princes in the Central Plains.

Then the battle of Guandu could not have been staged.

It is now February of the fourth year of Jian'an (the time in the simulated scenario), and there are still two or three months left before the defeat of Gongsun Zhan.

Once Gongsun Zhan is defeated, Yuan Shao will free his hands and go south to the Central Plains and sweep the world.

Yuan Shao sits on the four northern continents and has strong strength, although there are not as many soldiers and horses as 700,000, but at least it should be more than 300,000.

With such a huge military advantage, who can stop the four princes of the Central Plains?

Lu Bujue's self couldn't resist Yuan Shao no matter what.

The four princes of the Central Plains are all weak at present, he still has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses left, Cao Cao only has more than 30,000 horses left, Zhang Xiu has less than 20,000 horses, and Yuan Shu has about 40,000 or 50,000 horses.

Even if the four princes join forces, the total strength of the army is only more than 100,000, which is far from Yuan Shao's strength.

What's more, the four princes have their own blood feuds with each other, and it is impossible to join forces.

In this way, Yuan Shao is likely to go directly to the Central Plains.

Thinking that Yuan Shao would soon wave his army south, Lu Bu couldn't sit still, and his gaze swept to the six people again.

"Princess, I don't know what I should do?"

Seeing Lu Bu ask again, the six people on the left and right retracted their thoughts one after another, frowning and thinking.

Chen Gong and Chen Qun lowered their heads and glanced at each other, both realizing the seriousness of this problem, and their expressions were suddenly solemn.

"If Yuan Shaoqin leads hundreds of thousands of troops south, how should I deal with it?"

"Whether it's war, retreat, or peace, please decide for me."

Lu Bu's voice was very gentle, and it fell in Er Chen's ears, but it was like thunder on the ground.

Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are like the sword of Damoris hanging over the heads of the four princes of the Central Plains, you know that it will definitely fall and cause fatal damage to you, but you don't know when it will fall.

With such a large gap in strength, it is impossible to fight, peace, or surrender.

Under the premise that a wave of soldiers can bulldoze the Central Plains, it is impossible for Yuan Shao to make peace with the four princes of the Central Plains.

For the other princes, Yuan Shao may be given two choices, either surrender or die; For Lu Bu, Yuan Shao would only give one choice, and that was to die.

Because five years ago, Lu Bu had already taken refuge in Yuan Shao, and the two sides quickly broke up after a short honeymoon period, and Yuan Shao immediately killed Lu Bu. So Lu Bu had no choice but to leave Jizhou, go to Hanoi and Zhang Yang, then to Yanzhou Zhang Miao, and finally to Xuzhou.

Therefore, if you don't want to die, you have to withdraw from Xuzhou.

But where can it be withdrawn?

This question instantly formed a huge question mark in Er Chen's heart at the same time, and the rope could not be dispersed.

The world is so big that there seems to be nowhere to go.

Let's talk about Jiangdong across the water from Guangling. Jiangdong is the territory of the little overlord Sun Ce, Sun Ce has a ruthless style, and he is not very like a prince who can accommodate outsiders.

Therefore, the road of withdrawal to Koto will not work.

Let's talk about Huainan next door. Huainan was Yuan Shu's territory, and once Yuan Shao moved his army south, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Huainan would inevitably be his targets.

The road to Huainan will not work.

Finally, let's talk about Jingzhou. Jingzhou has Liu Biao, a royal family member in the town, not to mention that the road to Jingzhou will not work, just traveling thousands of miles on the way, the supply of grain and grass is a big problem.

What's more, he has to pass through Yuan Shu's territory on the way, and it is difficult to say whether Yuan Shu will take the opportunity to fall into the well.

The road to Jingzhou does not seem to work.

The most important thing is, what can be done after retreating to Jingzhou? Is it under the fence? That's too embarrassing.

No matter how you look at it, the future is extremely bleak.

Chen Gong and Chen Qun glanced at each other and came to this conclusion in unison.

"Gongtai, do you have a clever plan?"

Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong, although Chen Gong's overall view and resourcefulness were not superb, but the fool lost a thousand times, and occasionally gained one, maybe Chen Gong had any good plans.

Chen Gong frowned tightly and arched his hand towards Lu Bu.

"Fengxian, in my opinion, it is better to disperse the people and hide their names in the rivers and lakes. Spend your old age in peace? ”

Spend your old age in peace?

Fighting for world domination is a point of no return, it's not that you want to spend your old age in peace, you can spend your old age in peace. Otherwise, in history, Cao Cao would not have cut down the roots of Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, who had fled to Liaodong.

Lu Bu shook his head and looked at Chen Qun.

Since Chen Qun followed him, he has always been silent, putting on a posture that he has nothing to do with himself, not to mention advice, and he is not worthy of a word more.

But compared to Chen Gong, Chen Qun is not wise and late, and he is not short-sighted, if it weren't for the fact that after he defected to Cao Cao in the original history, all aspects of his talents were suppressed by Xun Yu, and his fame must be much louder. ”

"There are three strategies in the top, middle and bottom, and the upper policy is to abandon Xuzhou and go to Jingzhou. Liu Biao was afraid of Cao Cao's annexation for a long time, and hated that he would refuse it, and Wen Hou could make people say that he would temporarily borrow Jingbei to live as a barrier. After that, you can take the opportunity to gain a foothold in Jingzhou. ”

"Zhongce, abandon Xuzhou and Guanzhong. Guanzhong is fertile for thousands of miles, and the four passes are blocked, and the ancestors of the past have achieved the emperor's cause. Now Wenhou Keming invested in Jingzhou, entered Guanzhong through Wuguan, and took advantage of Yuan Shao's southward movement to win over the princes of Xiliang, and took advantage of Guanzhong to wait for the times to change. ”

"Make a decision, abandon Xuzhou and go to Liaodong. Liaodong is remote, and it is located in the rear of Yuan Shao's jurisdiction, and its lord Sun Du is violent and cannot be defended, and this place will belong to others after a long time. Wen Hou Ke let people build ships, cross the North Sea and go to Liaodong, and the anti-guest is the main thing to seize the foundation of Gongsun Du, which is the foundation of his life. Come to think of it, in a short period of time, Yuan Shao will not have time to take care of Liaodong. ”

Chen Qun spoke eloquently, with strong confidence in his flat tone.

Frankly speaking, the entry angles of the upper, middle and lower strategies are different. But one thing in common: we can all solve the dire situation we are facing.

Lu Bu knew that Chen Qun was good at general planning, and history recorded that Chen Qun was able to plan and make decisions, had a long-term vision, and was especially good at planning the overall situation and handling political affairs.

But I didn't expect this guy to be so tall!

The analysis of the situation can be described as a burst of blood, and it goes straight to the point.

Even Chen Gong couldn't help but glance sideways at him.

"In your opinion, what should I choose?"

Lu Bu looked directly at Chen Qun and asked, the three strategies can solve the current dilemma, but which strategy to choose is the key.

"Back to Wenhou, the best policy only needs to send a person who can speak well, the middle strategy needs to fight with the heroes of Guanzhong to win, and the next strategy needs to destroy Gongsun Du first, and then prevent the Yuan clan from annexing. Therefore, only based on the degree of difficulty, I think that Wen Hou can choose the best policy. ”

The best strategy is to go to Jingzhou to settle down.

That is, the path that Liu Bei chose after retreating after successive defeats in history.

Lu Bu nodded, got up and said.

"Good! Just go to Jingzhou! ”

"Who wants to be an envoy and go to Jingzhou to say Liu Biao?"
