Three Kingdoms: Warriors Lu Bu, You Can Become Stronger By Killing Enemies

Chapter [102] Guanzhong Four Fortresses, Meridian Valley

Cao Cao was about to be blown out of anger at this moment. After spending the autumn harvest tax and all the food stored before, he finally got back a little eunuch?

Moreover, he gave up the opportunity to avenge his father and attack Xuzhou, and chose to exchange food and grass for the emperor.

Now the food and grass are gone, the emperor has become a eunuch, and Xuzhou has not attacked.

In the end, the bamboo basket fetched water in vain, and nothing was left.

Especially just now he was talking nonsense, mocking Lu for not being a man, but in the end the clown turned out to be Cao Cao himself.

"Mr. Cao, please forgive me! Please forgive me!" Dong Zhao begged for mercy loudly, "I have abandoned high-ranking officials and rich salary, and came all the way to join you. You can't do this!"

Dong Zhao's intestines are regretful at this moment, stealing chickens will not cost you a lot of rice, if he knew this, he would just stay by Lu Bu's side honestly, maybe he would be able to get a high official and rich salary.

Dong Zhao thought that Lu was not an idiot before, but now he realizes that the idiot is himself.

Cao Cao was not moved at all when he heard the words. Cao soldiers dragged Dong Zhao and his family and beheaded Dong Zhao and his family on the side of the road.

After Dong Zhao was beheaded, Cao Cao's figure was swaying, precarious, apparently having a headache again.

"My lord, are you okay?" Xun Yu said worriedly.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "I made a mistake this time, but I'm fine. Yuan Shao must have been fooled too. When I think that Yuan Shao was also cheated of grain and grass, I don't feel so bad."

Although he lost some money and grain, Cao Cao felt more balanced when he thought that Yuan Shao also lost money and grain and was tricked by Lu Bu. Anyway, he was not the only one who was cheated.

"Tap Tat Tat"

The rapid sound of horseshoes sounded, Cao Cao followed the prestige, and saw a scout coming quickly.

Get off your horse, come to Cao Cao and bow down, "Report, Zhizhou Military News.

"What's the matter?" Cao Cao didn't bother to read it by himself, so he asked the scouts to read it directly.

"The son of heaven canonized Yuan Shao as Taiwei and led Jizhou as herdsman.

Take a hit!

Cao Cao's eyes darkened, and he didn't come up in one breath, "Uh...uh!" He fell directly backwards.

"My lord!" A group of people hurriedly gathered around to support Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's eyes widened, and he said unwillingly: "Yuan Shao...wasn't fooled, he went to buy an official...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhss!" Cao Cao fell into a coma.

Knowing that Yuan Shao was not deceived, it was more uncomfortable than Cao Cao himself being deceived, and his heart was instantly unbalanced.

The same is to pay money and food, Yuan Shao turned into a Taiwei plus Jizhou Mu, and Cao Cao himself got a little eunuch, this kind of 04 psychological gap made Cao Cao unable to bear it anymore

Ga Beng passed out.

When Cao Cao woke up, he was already lying on the bed.

"My lord is awake!"

"My lord is fine!"

"Lucky luck!"

When Cao Cao saw all the civil and military officials surrounding him, he sighed and said, "Oh, this time, it's a big shame.

"My lord, we can't let it go at this time! Let's send troops to attack Lu Bu!" Xia Houyuan gritted his teeth.

Xia Houyuan was the one who greeted the emperor, and brought back a little eunuch, which made Xia Houyuan feel like being teased and couldn't swallow the bad breath.

"By the way, my lord, Hangu Pass and Tongguan Pass, and Lu Bu are not fortified at all, so we can reach Guanzhong without hindrance." Xia Houyuan added.

The generals who originally thought it was unrealistic to attack Lu Bu felt that this was an opportunity.

But Cao Cao still shook his head and said, "It's too far away. Yanzhou and Guanzhong don't border each other. It will take at least a month for the army to go there. We don't have that much food and grass to consume on the road."

All the food and grass were sent to Lu Bu, so there is no food and grass to attack Lu Bu.

All the generals showed dissatisfaction when they heard the words, but there was nothing they could do if they were not reconciled.

Soldiers and horses go ahead without using food and grass. If there is no food, there is no food. If they can't get to Guanzhong, they will starve to death.

"You all step back, Wen Ruo, you stay." Cao Cao waved his hand and said.

After everyone left, Xun Yu immediately pleaded guilty and said: "Master, I am responsible for this matter, please punish me.

"Get up." Cao Cao struggled to get up from the bed, leaned on the head of the bed, and said, "We are all responsible for this, but it's because Dong Zhao is too stupid to be cheated by Lu Bu, damn it!"

"Alas~" Xun Yu sighed, "Lu Bu has tricked me this time and cheated me of all the food and grass. I can only wait for the next year to expand my power."

"Now the princes of the world are expanding crazily, we have wasted a year in vain, and we are one year behind."

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Wen Ruo, I have a bold idea."

"My lord, please speak."

"Let's send troops to Xuzhou!" Cao Cao said with narrowed eyes.

"My lord, don't do it!" Xun Yu thought Cao Cao was in a hurry, "Calm down, lord, we don't have enough food."

"Wen Ruo, don't worry, listen to me." Cao Cao continued: "After the autumn harvest, we didn't attack Xuzhou. Now that it's winter, Mr. Tao Qian must relax his vigilance. If we send troops at this time, we can catch Xuzhou by surprise. "

"Furthermore, Xuzhou borders Yanzhou, so as long as we dispatch troops quickly, the surplus food in our hands will be enough to support Xuzhou.

"What about after arriving in Xuzhou?" Xun Yu couldn't help asking.

"Root! Loot! We will feed on the enemy!" Cao Cao said harshly: "The people of Xuzhou must have grain and grass for the winter in their hands, so they can plunder all the way to Xuzhou."

Xun Yu couldn't help being silent when he heard the words. This is indeed a good way, but it's a bit too wolfish.

Cao Cao can definitely do such things as looting.

Even if there was no such thing as Lu Bu, Cao Cao still slaughtered Xuzhou in history, but now he has only strengthened his belief in slaughtering the city and looting.

Nanyang.

"boom!"

When Yuan Shu learned that Yuan Shao had been named Taiwei, he was so angry that he overturned the case.

At this time, Yuan Shu hadn't gone to Huainan yet. He went to Huainan because he was beaten to Huainan by Cao Cao. Cao Cao didn't have the energy to beat Yuan Shu now.

The eighteen princes raised troops to challenge Dong, and Yuan Shu raised troops from Nanyang.

At this moment, Yuan Shu is sitting in Nanyang and Runan, which are the two largest counties in the world, and also the two counties with the largest population.

"Yuan Shao, a concubine, why can he be ranked among the three princes?!" Yuan Shu paced up and down in the room, yelling.

At the beginning when the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, among the princes, Yuan Shu had the highest official position. From the official position to the general, he was far more powerful than Yuan Shao's Bohai prefect.

Now Yuan Shao has transformed himself, not only became Jizhou Mu, but also became a Taiwei, ranked among the three princes, and became the face of the old Yuan family. This is what makes Yuan Shu most unhappy.

"From now on, when people mention the Yuan family, the five generations and three princes, they all know that it is Yuan Shao's contribution. Who can remember me, Yuan Shu?" Yuan Shu murmured, "No! Absolutely not! generation's hope."

Yuan Shu is a person, when Yuan Shao is not as good as him, Yuan Shu will still pretend to be demeanor and treat Yuan Shao a little bit less.

But when Yuan Shao surpassed him, Yuan Shu would be unhappy for an instant, because he called Yuan Shao the son of a concubine.

"The Son of Heaven is still young and still in Lu Bu's hands, the appointment of officials must be decided by Lu Bu." Yuan Shu suddenly shouted to the outside: "Come here, send someone to Chang'an as an envoy.

These days people still attach great importance to fame, after all, if the name is not correct, the words will not go well, this is the reason why Yuan Shao has to spend money to buy an official.

Although Yuan Shu's position as a rear general was conferred by the imperial court, Yuan Shu disliked him for being too small and didn't want to be trampled under by Yuan Shao.

But Yuan Shu couldn't proclaim himself an official position, and no one would recognize him, so he could only ask Lu Bu.

Take the emperor to make the princes.

When the emperor is in hand, there is no need to order the princes, and the princes will come to the door by themselves.

Guanzhong.

Lu Bu was sitting on horseback, wearing a bearskin cloak, and was inspecting the people in the Sansuke area.

Now that the northwest region is completely stable, under the constraints of Lu Bu, it is impossible for any army to dare to plunder the people. After the people returned from Tongguan [every household has received enough food for the winter.

Lu Bu originally wanted to use work for relief, but considering the weather, if the people were to come out to work, the people would probably freeze to death, so Lu Bu had no choice but to give up and let the people stay at home to hide from the winter.

If there is a need in the future, just call for corvee directly. Presumably, with Lu Bu's reputation in Guanzhong, the common people will definitely not refuse to serve corvee.

Lu Bu's current reputation, in Guanzhong, is not an exaggeration to say that thousands of families live in Buddha.

Just kidding, a lot of food was thrown out, I don’t know how many victims’ lives were saved, and the Qiangs and Huns were wiped out. The people in the whole Guanzhong are very grateful to Lu Bu, and grateful to Lu Bu for preventing them from starving to death. Can live a stable life.

I dare not say it in other places, at least in Guanzhong and Northwest China, Lu Bu is completely cleansed.

To punish Dong Zhuo is to eradicate traitors for the country and kill relatives righteously.

You said you killed Ding Yuan? Didn't Ding Yuan take the initiative to bump into Fang Tian's painted halberd and commit suicide?

The people in Guanzhong have already begun to turn black and white for Lu Bu.

"Where is that?" Lu Bu raised his whip and asked, pointing to a pass.

"Back to the general, this pass is the Dashan Pass. Going south from the Dashan Pass, you can enter the Chencang Ancient Road and enter the Hanzhong area." An entourage replied.

"Guanzhong Guanzhong really deserves its reputation. There are passes in all directions, and they live in the pass." Lu couldn't help feeling.

There are Hangu Pass and Tongguan Pass in the east, which can resist the princes of the Guandong.

The Dasan Pass here can block the enemies in the Bashu area.

"At the beginning, there were four passes in Qin State: Hangu Pass, Dashan Pass, Wu Pass, and Xiao Pass, corresponding to the four directions of southeast, northwest, respectively." Jia Xu said slowly: "Just guard these four passes.

Don't even think about threatening the Guanzhong area with thousands of troops. "

The terrain in Guanzhong is dangerous, with the Qinling Mountains as a barrier in the south; the loess high slopes stretching for thousands of miles in the north; the danger of Weihan in the east, and the Longyou Plateau in the west.

In the middle of these four areas, Qinchuan, which is 800 miles long and narrow, is sandwiched, and with the four passes, it is as solid as gold.

"Why haven't I heard of Xiaoguan and Wuguan?" Lu Bu couldn't help asking.

"The Qin Dynasty happened four hundred years ago, and Xiaoguan and Wuguan have long been abandoned." Jia Xu immediately said: "During the former Han Dynasty, because the capital was still in Chang'an, troops were stationed at the four passes to guard the pass."

"But after the establishment of the later Han Dynasty, the capital moved to Luoyang, and the four passes were not taken seriously, and it was also intentional by the imperial court."

"After all, the four passes are easy to defend and difficult to attack. If someone has evil intentions and intends to establish themselves as a king in the pass, it will be very detrimental to the imperial court. Therefore, for safety reasons, the imperial court will not allow the pass to be impenetrable, and the four passes will gradually fall into disrepair."

"Hangu Pass is better. It is one east and one west of Hulao Pass. It can defend Luoyang, and it is more valued. The other three passes are basically the same as this Dashan Pass, which has been in disrepair for a long time."

After listening to Jia Xu's explanation, Lu Bu nodded again and again, and immediately said: "Immediately start the repair work of the four gates, and when the weather warms up, I will collect corvees."

"My lord, spring plowing is still needed after the beginning of spring. A lot of cultivated land in Guanzhong has been abandoned because of Dong Zhuo, and it still needs to be reclaimed. I'm afraid there will be too little time." Jia Xu reminded.

"Thief Dong Zhuo, keep Guanzhong well, make a mess, and leave Naigong such a big mess!" Lu Bu couldn't help cursing.

"Since the common people don't have time, let the army repair it after the beginning of spring, and it should be regarded as a drill." Lu Bu said immediately: "The importance of the four passes is self-evident, and we must hurry up.

"Hangu Pass is well preserved, and there is a Tongguan Pass behind it, and the east can be temporarily

Don't worry about it, but the other three levels are urgent.

"By the way, Mr. Wenhe." Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Going south from the Chencang ancient road and crossing the Qinling Mountains, can you directly enter the land of Hanzhong?"

The next step of the strategy is to win the Bashu area, and Lu Bu is naturally more concerned about this.

"Of course not. Going south from Chencang Road, you will meet Yangping Pass at the end of the road. Only by defeating Yangping Pass can you enter Hanzhong smoothly." Jia Xu said without hesitation.

When Lu Bu heard that he was going to attack the pass by force, he felt dizzy.

Lu Bu personally defended Hulao Pass, and just fought in the defense of Chang'an, so he knows how difficult it is to attack the city.

His subordinates are now all cavalry, either the Xiliang Army or the Bingzhou Army. In fact, they are not good at siege operations, and they are better at cavalry field battles.

"By the way, can Qi Shan go?" Lu Bu asked immediately.

Since Zhuge Liang was able to send troops from Qishan, in turn, Guanzhong should be able to go to Qishan.

"Going south from Qishan Road, you will encounter Yinping Pass." Jia Xu replied directly.

Lu Bu heard the words and complained, "Why are there so many passes?"

Jia Xu 270 added: "In addition to Yangping Pass and Yinping Pass, there are also Jianmen Pass, Jiameng Pass, and Zitong Pass."

"My lord, if you want to conquer the Bashu area, you must be mentally prepared. The Shu road is not only difficult to walk, but also has many passes."

Seeing that Lu Bu's face was getting darker and darker, Jia Xu hurriedly added: "But I heard that Liu Yan, the shepherd of Yizhou, just died, and a general named Zhang Lu rebelled and took the land of Hanzhong."

"If my lord attacks Zhang Lu, the Shu land in the rear will not support Zhang Lu, which will greatly reduce the difficulty of attacking Hanzhong."

"However, the Central Shu region is really not easy to fight. It depends on you, my lord."

Lu Bu blurted out: "Liu Zhang is a dog guarding the soil, nothing to fear."

With so many passes in Yizhou, Lu Bu's scalp would tingle just listening to it, and it was absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Liu Zhang's ability to invite Liu Bei to Shu is tantamount to leading a wolf into the house, handing over a good foundation to others, and he is also a mediocre person.

"As for taking Hanzhong... who knows where Ziwu Valley is?" Lu Bu couldn't help asking.

Wei Yan's Ziwu Valley conspiracy has been debated endlessly by later generations, some say it can be successful, and some say it can't.

Since you want to attack Hanzhong, you might as well go there in person to see if this Meridian Valley can go.

"Back to General, Meridian Valley is not far south of Chang'an, we will pass by on the way back to Chang'an." The entourage said.

"Okay, let's go back now." Lu Bu knew nothing about it.

A group of people rode horses and returned to Chang'an quickly.

When approaching Chang'an, the entourage reminded: "General, go south from here, which is where Ziwu Valley is located.

"Go, go and have a look." Lu Bu immediately steered his horse and headed south.

After walking for a short time, the mountain began to undulate as we continued to go south, indicating that we were approaching the Qinling Mountains.

Led by his entourage, Lu Bu soon arrived at Meridian Valley.

In the stretches of the Qinling Mountains, there is a winding path in the cracks.

The road is rugged, and it can't even be called a road. The canyon is full of bushes, weeds, small trees, and rocks.

"General, Meridian Valley can also lead to the land of Hanzhong, but it's too difficult to walk, and no one can pass through." The entourage reminded.

"If you want to march here, you need to open a road while marching, and the efficiency is too slow." Jia Xu said: "However, because this road is hidden, once you can pass through, you can use it as a surprise attack.

As a result, Hanzhong must be unprepared at the exit, which is a choice. "

"In the case of insufficient military supplies, this road is obviously a dead end."

"If there is a strong logistical support, let the soldiers march while opening the road, and they can take Hanzhong directly."

Jia Xu's analysis is very reasonable. If the cost is not considered, Ziwu Valley's strong logistics is indeed a miracle.

However, considering the national power of the Shu Han at that time, if you want to find a way out of Ziwu Valley, that is a dream, or a gambling plan, life and death, a stud.

Wei Yan is willing to take risks, but the cautious Zhuge Liang will definitely not agree.

Lu Bu got off his horse and walked into Ziwu Valley with Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand. Suddenly, he had an idea in his heart. .
