Chapter 712 Sending troops to Yanzhou
Guanzhong, Chang'an City.
It's been more than a month since the assassination, but the people behind it have never been verified.
The Assassin who had fallen from the city appeared as if out of thin air, and the school administration had almost wiped out the entire Guanzhong, and was unable to find anyone related to him.
I don't even know my name.
As a result, Wang Zheng had to come to the door in person to plead guilty, which was the most difficult thing for him since the establishment of the school affairs department.
Lu Bu reprimanded him fiercely, and Wang Zheng, who was terrified when he came to the door, was relieved. The more the lord scolds, the more he values himself, if he doesn't say a word and lets himself go back, it really makes Wang Zheng uncomfortable.
Over the years, the school affairs department's eyeliner can be said to be all over the country, and its contribution to intelligence and information is even more indispensable.
Lu Bu knows this.
That's why he denounced Wang Zheng, hoping that he could take this matter as a warning and strengthen the collection of intelligence.
In the martial arts venue, Lu Bu was pointing out the key to his daughter's halberd.
As for the youngest son Lu Xiao, Lu Bu didn't know how to teach him, so he simply let him develop freely.
Near noon, Xiao Ji trotted over, and couldn't hide his joy on his face: "Lord, great joy, great joy!" ”
Hearing Xiao Ji's shout, Lu Bu stopped the wooden halberd in his hand and handed it to the little bell, asking her to practice first.
Then, Lu Bu came over and asked Xiao Ji with a smile: "Yuan Tu, why are you so happy?" ”
Xiao Ji bowed his hand, and then replied truthfully: "Lord, the news just came that Cao Cao's father was killed, and it is said that he was poisoned by someone sent by Mu Taoqian in Xuzhou. After Cao Cao found out, he was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted, and now he has mobilized an army of 100,000 and marched in the direction of Xuzhou to avenge his father. ”
"Cao Cao's father died, let's just send someone to mourn, you still say this is good news, it's too much!"
Lu Bu was halfway through his words, and suddenly reacted: "Wait, you mean ......?"
Xiao Ji nodded, his thin face showed a decisive look, and his tone was very resolute: "That's right, Cao Cao led the army to Xuzhou, so that the Yanzhou he runs is bound to be empty, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" ”
Lu Bu groaned slightly, and then issued an order: "Let everyone come to the hall to discuss matters." ”
Soon, the generals, who had been informed, arrived from all directions.
No one knows what happened, but with such a large-scale summons, something big must have happened.
Before entering the lobby, Lu Bu strode in.
"Meet my lord."
The crowd stood up and clasped their hands into fists.
Lu Bu casually lifted his hand, walked to the middle position facing the gate and sat down, and said to the generals: "I just got the news that Cao Cao led the army to attack Tao Qian in the name of avenging his father, what do you think?" ”
Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others had a keen sense of smell, and as soon as Lu Bu's words fell, they stood up and clasped their fists: "Lord, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the last general thinks that when Cao Cao's air defense is weak, he will send troops to attack Yanzhou." ”
Other generals who were slower to respond, when they heard this, immediately became excited, and they all spoke in support: "Lord, the last general agrees to General Gao (Zhang)'s proposal!" ”
Under the banner of Lu Zi, they are all belligerents.
"Good!"
Lu Bugao shouted, seeing what everyone wanted, he also had the idea of sending troops in his heart, and now everyone asked for his life, which made him make up his mind.
"Xu Rong."
Lu Bu shouted and began to give orders.
The calm man at the bottom got up and stepped out, clasped his fists and responded: "The end will be!" ”
"I appoint you as the protector of the Western Regions, command 10,000 troops to conquer Qiuzi, and rebuild the capital in the Western Regions. Responsible for maintaining the stability of the countries in the Western Regions, ensuring the smooth flow of the Silk Road, and sending spies to spy on the intelligence of the Kushan Empire, can you do it? ”
If you want to completely control the Western Regions, kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, and take the strongest Qiuzi country to attack, it is undoubtedly the most deterrent approach.
Hearing this order, Xu Rong was stunned on the spot, as if he was a little incredulous.
The Protector of the Western Regions has been abolished for nearly a hundred years, and his power is extremely great, and he is the highest military and political governor in the Western Regions. The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the soil emperor of the Western Regions.
Just imagine, he is just a general, and if you want to talk about credit, he can't compare to Gao Shun and Zhang Liao; In terms of force, it is far inferior to Huang Zhong and Xu Huang. But the lord entrusted such an important official position to himself, what a deep trust!
"Xu Rong, what did the lord ask you?" Seeing that Xu Rong did not react, Zhang Liao next to him reminded him in a low voice.
Reacting, Xu Rong's face was full of excitement, and he responded loudly: "The last will live up to the lord!" ”
Lu Bu nodded, in terms of ability, Xu Rong was superior in all aspects, and loyal enough. It's just that Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others are too dazzling, so Xu Rong is a lot darker.
To go to the Western Regions this time, you must have a brave and resourceful, overall view and broad vision, and Xu Rong is the best candidate.
After arranging the Western Regions, Lu Bu looked at Sun Ce again and shouted, "Bo Fu." ”
Hearing his name, Sun Ce got up and said heroically: "The last general!" ”
"I have made a statement to the imperial court to promote you to General Anton, and from now on, you can return to Jiangdong and take charge of all the affairs of the six counties of Jiangdong. If you are not satisfied, the general will give you a warrant, and you can cut it first and then play it. ”
"Command!"
Sun Ce replied loudly, with Lu Bu's words, he no longer had any worries, just let it go.
The Western Regions and Jiangdong have been arranged, and now it's time to get to the point.
"This time I am going to Yanzhou, I am ready to send 120,000 troops, who is willing to be the vanguard?"
When the words landed, more than a dozen generals stood up, all of whom hugged their fists and responded: "The last general is willing to be a pioneer!" ”
Lu Bu glanced at the past, Huang Zhong, Wei Musheng, Song Xian, Pan Feng and others were among them. Lu Bu didn't seem to mean to appoint them, but shouted: "Fang Yue, are you willing to be a pioneer?" ”
Fang Yue, who had picked up the leak, was extremely pleased, and replied loudly: "The last general is willing to clear all obstacles ahead of him!" ”
"Hou Cheng, Hao Meng, Governor Grain and Grass."
"Command!"
"The rest of the people, each with his own duty, set out with me."
"Command!"
The generals are imposing, and Lu Bu is also ambitious.
Last year, it was the will of God that it failed to calm the north.
This year is a good year, with good weather and good weather, and it is destined to be a bumper year.
The time and place are favorable, and Lu Bu doesn't believe it, and this time he can't complete the hegemony of the north.
The meeting dispersed, and the generals went about their work.
120,000 soldiers and horses is not a small number, even if it is assembled at the fastest speed, it will take at least half a month's effort.
After the generals retreated, Lu Bu also prepared to leave.
At this time, Chen Wei, who was guarding outside the hall, came in to report: "Lord, Mr. Xi is here." ”
