Lu Bu was furious, and simply thought that Cao Cao had come to grab the credit.

But Liu Bei thought about it more.

Cao Cao had been holding his troops until they had defeated Yuan Shu and finally launched a decisive battle.

This is obviously trying to reap the benefits of the fisherman!

After the two sides meet, there will inevitably be a big war.

That is, today's battle Lu Bu showed great might, allowing them to win a big victory in the battle of crossing the river at a relatively small cost.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, no matter whether they win or lose, they will not be able to compete with Cao Jun, who has just joined the battle and is still in its heyday!

"In the battle with Yuan Shu, we are basically contributing. Now Cao Cao is sending troops at this time, and his purpose is self-evident. ”

Liu Bei's face was ugly, this kind of taste of someone picking up and snatching the results of the battle was really uncomfortable.

"In my opinion, it's not just Cao Cao. Sun Ce, who occupies the six counties of Jiangdong, is probably about to move. ”

Chen Gong sighed and said worriedly.

"Damn Cao Apu, damn Sun Ce, they are all traitors and traitors! There is also Liu Biao, Yuan Shu called the emperor, he was indifferent, and he was really a member of the Han family in vain. ”

Lu Bu scolded, very annoyed in his heart, now he looks at everyone like a thief.

Although he didn't know too many twists and turns, he also knew that Cao Cao was coming over now to grab credit from him!

To snatch away his devastating credit for destroying the puppet emperor!

As for Sun Ce, he was ambitious and wanted to grab the land. Like his father Sun Jian, he is not like a loyal minister.

"Gongtai, you can't let the Cao thief take the lead, and the Japanese general will lead his troops to capture the puppet emperor!"

Chen Gong could see that his father-in-law was really anxious this time.

Liu Bei heard this: "No, Feng Xian, I have just experienced a big battle, and I need to let the soldiers of the three armies rest and recuperate." ”

"At this time, if you are greedy for merit, it will only make the three armies tired, and if you encounter Cao Cao's army at that time, how can you fight him?"

Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said, "Are you just sitting here now!" ”

Liu Bei said: "The Jiangdong area has long been occupied by Sun Ce, the waterway has Cao Cao's army to advance, and the Huaibei area has been captured by us. ”

By now, Yangzhou has basically fallen completely.

At present, the so-called Great Chengdu City Shouchun and several surrounding cities have not been captured, and Yuan Shu and them have nowhere to flee except Shouchun.

"My lord, what Liu Yuanjun said is very true." Chen Gong nodded in agreement with Liu Bei's analysis, "You can't be in a hurry to attack Shou County. ”

"Shou County is the land where Yuan Shu trapped the beasts, if we take the lead in attacking, we will definitely be attacked fiercely, causing heavy casualties to the army, and in the end, I am afraid that Cao Cao and Sun Ce will get advantaged."

"For now, we still order the officers and men of the three armies to rest, slowly advance the battle line, reap the fruits of victory, and wait until the soldiers come to Shouchun to see the movements of Cao's army before making plans."

Chen Gong laid the strategic policy for the future.

As for Lu Bu, he only needs to be responsible for implementation.

"Puppet Emperor, this general is bound to win!"

……

It's night.

However, on the Huai River, there are huge warships flowing down the river.

What fluttered in the wind on the warship was the big flag with the character "Cao".

It was Cao Cao's warship!

On the deck of the largest warship at this time, Cao Cao looked out from the railing, looking at the scenery of the Huai River under the moonlight.

"The Huai River is really magnificent."

Cao Cao sighed with emotion and looked at Xun Yu who was standing beside him, "Gongda, is the seasickness better?" ”

This time, in order to hurry, but also to avoid encounters with Yuan Shao and Lu Bu's army, he deliberately chose to march by water; Xun You is not suitable for taking a boat, and he has been dizzy since he got on the boat.

"Don't worry, your lordship, your ...... Vomit! ”

Before Xun You finished speaking, he lay on the railing and vomited, looking very embarrassed.

"Hahaha!"

Cao Cao laughed, stretched out his hand to stroke his back, and said with a smile: "Gongda can bear with it again, wait for Shou County, capture the puppet emperor, and don't take the water route when you return, I will accompany you back by land." ”

There was a light breeze between his words, as if victory was already within reach.

Xun You wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and after a while, he said, "Is the lord so confident in attacking Shou County?" ”

Cao Cao bowed his head and said: "That's natural, now that Lu Bu and Yuan Shu are facing each other in Huaishui, the defense of Shou County must be empty; It is the best time for us to take Shou County directly! ”

Since the end of the conquest of Wancheng, he has been paying attention to the battle situation in Yangzhou.

didn't send troops before, not because he was not moved by Yangzhou, but because he didn't want to be the first bird;

Now that Lu Bu has consumed most of Yuan Shu's forces for him, the two sides have launched a decisive battle in Huaishui.

If you don't have such a good opportunity, when will it wait?

As long as Shou County is taken, Yuan Shu's back road can be cut off.

At present, the 50,000 army of the waterway is not alone, and the army led by Xiahoudun on the border of Yuzhou is also ready to go at this time, just wait for the capture of Shou County, and then march towards Yangzhou, and the army led by Cao Cao will form a situation of encirclement on both sides, and swallow Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and Lu Bu in one fell swoop!

It can be described as a plan to kill three birds with one stone!

Xun You asked thoughtfully: "Then who does the lord think will win this battle, Yuan Shu or Lu Bu?" ”

"Who wins and who loses, what does it matter to me?" Cao Cao didn't care about it, "No matter who wins or loses, I will be the final winner." Two horsemen, just make a wedding dress for me! ”

"Goo-"

Suddenly, a birdsong came from the night.

Then a pigeon landed on the railing of the deck, and if you looked closely, you could see that the pigeon had a small bamboo tube tied to its leg.

This is a carrier pigeon specially domesticated in the army.

It is used to convey emergency military information.

Xun You stepped forward to untie the bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg, and took out a note from it, looked at it carefully by the moonlight, and looked at it, his eyes showed a look of shock.

"What?" Seeing this, Cao Cao asked aloud.

Carrier pigeons are precious, and the messages that can be delivered by carrier pigeons are very urgent and are usually not used.

Let Xun Yu be so discolored, something big will inevitably happen,

"Lord ......"

Xun You exhaled a breath of turbidity and said with a complicated expression: "The letter said that Lu Bu killed Yuan Shu's generals with an arrow across the Huai River, which greatly damaged his morale. In the double-shot battle, Yuan Shu was defeated and fled, with countless casualties. ”

"What did you say?!" Cao Cao's eyes widened when he heard this, and he snatched the letter paper from Xun You's hand and looked at it.

His face also became ugly little by little, and at the same time it was mixed with shock and disbelief.

"Shoot Yuan Shu's general with an arrow across the Huai River?"

Cao Cao looked up at the wide Huai River in front of him, and only felt absurd and nonsensical in his heart, this is simply impossible!

Such a wide Huai River, let alone shoot the people on the other side, it is impossible to shoot over, no one in the world can do this kind of thing!

But no matter how ridiculous Cao Cao felt in his heart, what was written in this letter was clear and clear, and there would be no falsehood.

Lu Bu's reckless man is so brave.
