Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

In the end, the two parties negotiated the price to 500 horses, 100,000 shi of grain and grass, and 20 warships. At the same time, Zhou Yu was granted the title of Xuzhou Shepherd and Zhang Zhao was granted the title of Jiaozhou Shepherd.

After sending Sun Qian away, Sun Ce felt particularly comfortable. He could get so many benefits without even using a single soldier. The position of General of Chariots and Cavalry was very attractive to a general. Although the Han Dynasty Although he was weak, he could become a chariot and cavalry general, which fully reflects the strength of Jiangdong's military power.

"My lord, now that we have sent away the envoy from Jingzhou, Cao Jun's envoy will arrive soon." Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Sun Ce nodded with satisfaction and said just now that the envoy from Cao Jun had arrived just to make the envoy from Jingzhou relax.

"My lord, if Cao Cao's army is strong and conquers Jingzhou, my lord can send troops to seize Jiangxia when Jingzhou is in turmoil, and then pacify the four counties in Jingnan. In this way, my lord can occupy five counties in Jingzhou, and naturally he will not be able to fight against Cao Cao. That's it." Zhou Yu said in a low voice.

Sun Ce nodded with deep understanding. Whether it was Liu Bei or Cao Cao, as long as they could get enough benefits from them, Jiangdong Army would take action. As for the rhetoric with Jingzhou, Jingzhou must also be able to understand it. , In troubled times, strength is the most important. Otherwise, Lu Bu was a rebel of the Han Dynasty before, but now he has become a general of the Han Dynasty, and he is also a person from Jingzhou who respectfully sends envoys to Bingzhou. This is what strength brings. benefit.

Compared to Lu Bu, Jiangdong is much weaker in strength, but Sun Ce is confident that Jiangdong will grow further in troubled times.

As Zhou Yu guessed, the envoy from Jingzhou only left for two days before Cao Cao's envoy came to Jiangdong and jointly attacked Jingzhou with Jiangdong. In response, Sun Ce said that he would not send troops to help any party, and accordingly Cao Cao also paid a certain price. .

In Wancheng, Cao Cao learned of Sun Ce's move and sneered: "It seems that Sun Bofu wants to seize Jingzhou from this prince."

"My lord, we must not underestimate the Jiangdong army. Sun Ce is known as the little overlord of Jiangdong. He is extremely brave and has won the hearts of the people in Jiangdong. He has no intention of attacking Xuzhou. He may attack Shouchun and contain the strength of the army." Cheng Yu said.

"No matter what kind of person Sun Ce is, if you want to get benefits from me, it depends on whether he has the ability." Cao Cao sneered.

"Instruct the defenders in Shouchun to pay close attention to the movements of Jiangdong Army, and Guangling must not relax its vigilance," Cao Cao said.

Let's say that after Lu Bu attacked Dongping for several days, Yuan Shao no longer had the initial confidence. Qingzhou was its foundation. If Qingzhou was lost, it would mean that tens of thousands of troops would have no way out. What would happen in this situation? Yuan Shao knew his fate very well.

"Yuan Tu, Qingzhou is in danger. I wonder if Yuan Tu has any countermeasures?" Yuan Shao turned his attention to Feng Ji. No matter what kind of person Feng Ji was in the eyes of Qingzhou officials, Yuan Shao still trusted him.

Feng Ji said: "My lord, Linzi City is high and deep. Lu Bu has less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but there are 20,000 defenders in the city. With careful defense, Lu Bu can hardly do anything."

Faced with Feng Ji's relief, Yuan Shao did not feel at ease. Since Lu Bu was able to attack Qingzhou, it showed that he was strong enough. As expected, officials from other counties may have secretly defected to Lu Bu and were only waiting for Linzi. Captured by Lu Bu.

When faced with a life and death crisis, Lu Bu's treatment of the family was nothing in the hands of these officials. As long as the family's strength was still there, there would still be a chance to rise. Once he died, it would mean that all opportunities were lost.

"How is the investigation of the detailed work going?" Yuan Shao suddenly asked.

"My lord, General Ju Yi refuses to speak." Feng Ji felt happy. Yuan Shao asked about Xi Zuo at this time, obviously he was afraid of Ju Yi.

Guo Tu stepped forward and said: "My lord, my subordinates believe that when we lead the troops back to Qingzhou, as long as our lord returns to Qingzhou and relies on Qingzhou, we will definitely be able to repel Lu Bu. Although Jizhou is rich, the plains are occupied by Lu Bu. If Lu Bu

After the pacification is completely stabilized, it will be extremely disadvantageous for our army."

Feng Ji gave Guo Tu a meaningful look. His conversation with Yuan Shao just now was at a critical moment. He was confident that Yuan Shao would let go and execute Ju Yi. Unexpectedly, Guo Tu helped Ju Yi at such a critical moment.

A handful.

Yuan Shao seemed to be diverted by Guo Tu's words. He pondered for a moment and said: "The withdrawal is of great importance. There are 50,000 enemy troops outside the city. Although our army has more than 40,000 people and wants Qinghe to withdraw to Qingzhou, it is difficult.

An extremely difficult thing.”

Why didn't Guo Tu understand Yuan Shao's current situation? The situation in Qingzhou was worrying. The plains were occupied by Lu Bu, and there were enemy troops outside the city. If he was not careful, he would fall into an irreversible situation. When he raised his troops to attack Jizhou, what was it like?

The favorable situation unexpectedly ended up in the current situation, and the two crucial wars were both due to Lu Bu's efforts to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron, forcing the army to retreat. This was the case in Huguan, and now it is the case in Jizhou.

"My lord, if our army retreats from Jizhou now, it will definitely suffer heavy losses. In the opinion of my subordinates, if it is better to stick to Qinghe and contact the aristocratic families in Jizhou secretly, Lu Bu will send troops to Jizhou in vain. If Jizhou rebels, Lu Bu will definitely have no intention of fighting in Qingzhou.

, then our army can take advantage of the situation, and there is still a possibility of victory." Feng Ji said.

Yuan Shao was very moved after hearing this. If he withdraws from Jizhou this time, it means that his efforts will be in vain again. This situation is not what Yuan Shao wants to see. As a member of the Yuan family, he has the reputation of being the fourth generation and the third prince, so naturally he will not be willing to do so.

Such a failure.

"The matter of contacting the Jizhou family is of great importance. Yuantu will do his best. If Jizhou can be captured, Yuantu will be the biggest contributor." Yuan Shao's expression gradually became firmer. "We must investigate the details carefully. I will do my best."

You will not let anyone betray you."

"Here." Fengji perked up when he heard this.

After leaving the Chinese army's tent, Guo Tu's mood fell into a low ebb. Now Yuan Shao's situation is worrying. If he cannot resolve the immediate crisis, years of hard work will be in vain. Judging from the movements of Cao's army, it is clear that

He reached a tacit agreement with Lu Bu, and his plan to rely on Cao's army to contain Lu Bu could only fail.

Different from Guo Tu's worries, after Feng Ji left, he immediately sent someone to contact the aristocratic family in Jizhou, and they also did not hesitate to interrogate Ju Yi. However, Ju Yi never said a word when questioned by the people sent by Feng Ji.

His gratitude towards Yuan Shao gradually faded away under such circumstances. He had done a lot for Yuan Shao, but now he got this end.
