"Gongtai, the big-eared thief has joined forces with the Cao thief to attack this time, do we have a way to resist it?"

After kicking over the table, Lu Bu's anger vented a little, and then he came to Chen Gong and asked.

"Wen Hou, if there is only Liu Bei alone, or only Cao Cao, maybe he can stop it. But now that the two of them Liu Bei and Cao Cao have joined forces, with our current strength, I am afraid that we will have to break the city in three days. Chen Gong said.

"If you want to block their combined attack, Wen Hou needs to ask someone to help."

Lu Budao: "Who can please help?" ”

If he wanted to find someone to help, Lu Bu's first thought in his heart was to find Zhao Hui.

But Zhao Hui is in Youzhou, thousands of miles apart, even if Zhao Hui wants to help him, he can't reach it.

"Qingzhou Xu Huang."

Chen Gong also knew the relationship between Lu Bu and Zhao Hui.

Xu Huang was a general under Zhao Hui, and he was the person most likely to extend Yuan Shao to Lu Bu now.

Moreover, Qingzhou and Xuzhou are adjacent to each other, and Xu Huang can also have enough time to rush over.

It's just that although Xu Huang has now controlled Qingzhou, Xu Huang's overall strength is still weak.

"Can Xu Huang stop Cao Cao?"

Lu Bu asked, he had fought with Cao Cao, and at the beginning, he had such a big advantage, almost the entire Yanzhou fell under his control, but the result was that he failed.

It's not that Lu Bu wants to underestimate Xu Huang.

It's that Cao Cao is really too difficult to defeat.

If you want to defeat Cao Cao, you don't have to have a lot of troops.

It's not just a fierce general.

When facing Cao Cao, as long as a little flaw is revealed, or a little hesitation, the result will change immediately.

At the beginning, Lu Bu obviously had an advantage, but his failure was also a blink of an eye.

When Lu Bu occupied more than ninety percent of Yanzhou's territory.

At that time, Tao Qian, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and other princes thought that Cao Cao was about to finish.

No one would have imagined that Cao Cao would win and Lü Bu would flee to Xuzhou.

Can Xu Huang stop Cao Cao's army?

Lu Bu had no faith.

Even if Lu Bu himself went to resist Cao Cao, he was not sure.

"If Wen Hou is worried, he can ask Yuan Shu to send troops to help." Chen Gongdao.

Yuan Shu's current territory is very vast, occupying Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou, as well as Yuzhou and Yangzhou.

Yuan Shu has actually been thinking about how to get involved in Xuzhou all along.

It's just that there has never been a good opportunity, and then he reached an agreement with Zhao Hui, and he began to develop southward, with Jingzhou and Yangzhou as the main goal.

The things that Chen Gong recommended to Lu Bu were all forces that were likely to send troops to help and had time to come.

At that moment, Lu Bu immediately sent people to Qingzhou and Nanyang to ask for help.

Lu Bu is now stationed in Xiaopei, with no more than 5,000 troops in his hands.

The only advantage is that Lu Bu is the commander of this army.

5,000 can be considered 10,000, or even 20,000.

Liu Bei led 5,000 people, and Yuan Shu needed to lead 10,000 people to be able to defeat Liu Bei.

And Lu Bu led 5,000 people, and Liu Bei needed at least 10,000 people before he dared to fight Lu Bu head-on.

And it's hard to say who wins and who loses.

Lu Bu's army can definitely rank among the top three in terms of combat power.

Even now, these five thousand people have not been following Lu Bu for a long time.

But under Lu Bu's command, their combat strength will definitely not be worse than Yuan Shao's halberd soldiers.

Except for Zhao Hui's Modao Iron Cavalry, no one's army can eat Lu Bu's army.

And the Modao Iron Cavalry is now only two thousand people.

Although the strength is strong, it is a meat grinder on the battlefield, but the number is too small.

As long as the enemy prepares in advance and avoids the edge of the Modao Iron Cavalry, it won't take long for the Modao Iron Cavalry to be less powerful.

The horses and men were all heavily armored and were destined to not be able to fight for a long time.

The Modao Iron Rider is powerful, but its weaknesses are also obvious.

On the grassland, this Modao Iron Cavalry is a truly invincible division.

But entering the land of the Central Plains, there are still many ways to deal with this Modao Iron Horse.

Song Xian and Hou Cheng were sent by Lu Bu to ask Xu Huang and Yuan Shu for help.

And Yuan Tan also received news from Youzhou.

In front of him, there were three letters, two of which were written by Gongsun Zhan and only one by Tian Feng.

And Tian Feng's secret letter did not record the changes of Gongsun Zhan.

It's about the same as Gongsun Zhan's first letter. It's just that those loyal and filial messages are missing.

If it was just these two secret letters, Yuan Tan didn't need to frown.

But Gongsun Zhan's second secret letter made Yuan Tan unable to judge.

Subjectively, he absolutely did not believe that Tian Feng would rebel and would defect to Zhao Hui.

However, Gongsun Zhan's second secret letter, which was written with an oath, made it difficult for Yuan Tan to judge.

And what Gongsun Chan said is not nonsense, many things have indeed happened, and Tian Feng's previous letters also explained it.

It's just that Yuan Tan didn't think much about it at that time, but now compared with Gongsun Zhan's secret letter, if Tian Feng's identity is removed and replaced by another person, Yuan Tan already believes Gongsun Zhan's words.

Because of his trust in Tian Feng, Yuan Tan has been hesitant, not knowing whether to believe Gongsun Zan or not.

Or do you firmly believe that Tian Feng will not betray?

Tian Feng is Yuan Tan's most trusted person.

Looking at these three secret letters at this moment, he didn't know who to talk to.

Feng Ji was the first to be excluded.

The only one who can take it is Xun Chen.

Yuan Tan put away Gongsun Zhan's second secret letter first.

Then he called Xun Chen and handed the other two to Xun Chen.

"Sir, these two letters are sent from Youzhou, do you think I want to send troops to escort grain and grass?" Yuan Tan asked.

Xun Chen put down the two secret letters, and did not answer Yuan Tan immediately, but closed his eyes and pondered quietly.

Seeing this, Yuan Tan didn't ask any more questions, but sat on the side and waited quietly.

It's just two secret letters, and it's hard to tell what.

Xun Chen said: "Since Yuan Hao also said in the letter, the eldest prince can first escort 200,000 stone of grain and grass to Youzhou." ”

Xun Chen still believes in Tian Feng.

If it weren't for Gongsun Zhan's second letter, Yuan Tan would have chosen to do so without hesitation.

"Sir, there is another letter written by Gongsun Chan here, you can take a look at it again." Yuan Tan also handed another letter to Xun Chen.

He trusts Tian Feng the most, but Xun Chen's character, Yuan Tan can also be trusted.

Even if Xun Chen didn't choose to be loyal to him, Yuan Tan believed that Xun Chen would never deliberately harm him.

After reading the second secret letter, Xun Chen's face changed many times.

"Eldest prince, Gongsun Zhan's words can't be believed." Xun Chen said after reading it.

"Why?" Yuan Tan asked.

He himself is also biased towards Tian Feng, but Gongsun Zhan's letter makes him unable to make a decision.

"The eldest prince knows, why does the lord never use Gongsun Zhan?"

"Why?"

"Because Gongsun Zhan's ambition is immortal."

"You said that Gongsun Zhan's letter was slanderous, but why didn't the teacher's secret letter mention it?" Yuan Tan said.

Xun Chen sighed and said, "I'm afraid Yuan Hao can't help himself now. ”
