Chenliujun, Yongqiu.

Lü Busuo's army arrived here a few days ago and set up camp.

Yuan Shu's army has reached Wuping and is marching towards the north, and the two sides are more than 400 miles apart.

On this day, Lu Bu received an eight-hundred-mile rush from Gao Shun.

When he opened the letter and saw it, Lu Bu couldn't help frowning.

"Lord, what's wrong?" Zhang Liao saw Lu Bu's sad face and asked out loud.

Lu Bu handed over the report to Zhang Liao, and after Zhang Liao read it, his face was also full of solemnity.

It turned out that Yuan Shu sent an envoy to unite the Black Mountain thieves and put pressure on Yan County, and the leader of the thieves was a young man named Zhang Yan, who was quite capable, and Gao Shun fought with him and failed to retreat.

In addition, Yuan Shao sent Fu Zhu to Baima to serve as Yan Liang's military division, and Yuan's army seemed to have signs of crossing the Turbid River in the south.

If Yan Liang crosses the turbid river, he will definitely come to Chen Liu.

If that's the case, it's not good!

At this time, Chen Wei outside the tent came in to report: "My lord, the envoy sent by the Son of Heaven has arrived. ”

Lu Bu nodded, and asked the envoy to be welcomed into the tent.

After a while, a middle-aged eunuch in a brown official uniform walked in.

Seeing the envoy, Lu Bu was slightly stunned.

In the past, it was Xu Xie, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, who came to announce the decree, but today he has changed an unfamiliar face.

The middle-aged eunuch cleared his voice and proclaimed loudly: "Da Sima takes the order." ”

"Minister, listen to the holy will."

Lu Bu clenched his fists and bowed, and the generals of Zhang Liao behind him also bowed in unison.

The eunuch glanced at Lu Bu, opened the holy decree, and slowly read it: "Edict of the Son of Heaven: The great Sima Lu Bu killed the thief in Chenliu, and made outstanding achievements, and today he will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold and a thousand horses of satin brocade to reward the soldiers of the three armies." However, Da Sima has been out of Beijing for more than a year, and I feel that I miss it, so I hereby issue this edict, and Da Sima will set off to return to the division on the same day, in order to fulfill my wish, and admire this! ”

Hearing the end, a trace of astonishment appeared in Lu Bu's eyes, and he didn't get up for a long time.

"Da Sima, don't bow down, take the order!" The eunuch looked at Lu Bu and handed over the holy decree, with a bit of ridicule in his tone.

Lu Bu straightened up, held the holy decree in both hands, and asked the eunuch: "Dare to ask Huang Menlang, why is Your Majesty in a hurry to summon me back to Beijing?" ”

Seeing that Lu Bu didn't give benefits, the eunuch didn't like it in his heart, and said in a weird way: "The power of heaven is unpredictable, where do we know!" ”

He thought he was the envoy of the Son of Heaven, representing the supreme Son of Heaven, and whoever saw him had to be three points inferior to him. So even in the face of this powerful Sima, he didn't have the slightest respect, and he still looked arrogant.

As he spoke, the eunuch also deliberately made a gesture, suggesting that Lu Bu should give some benefits.

"Then bother Huang Menlang to go back and ask the Son of Heaven for me, why did you call me back to the court?"

Lu Bu chose to ignore Huang Menlang's hints, and his tone increased suddenly, he was already very troubled by the affairs of Yan County, and if he was going to call him back today, it made him feel extremely irritable.

Two days ago, he had already sent someone to transfer Xu Rong from Luoyang out of the customs, and Huang Zhong from Waihuang to come back to help, and the food needed had also been transported to Chenliu, waiting for a decisive battle with Yuan Shu.

Assuming that he returns at this time, not only will all his efforts be in vain, but it is also very likely that the places he has taken, such as Tranliu and Hanoi, will also fall into the hands of the enemy.

Therefore, before the goal is achieved, Lu Bu will never return to the dynasty unless he has to.

"Lu Bu, you are so bold, you dare to question Your Majesty!" The eunuch raised his voice, and the fox was pretending to be a tiger.

A mere eunuch dares to show off his might in front of me?

Lu Bu's eyes were cold, and he gave the eunuch a murderous look, and the latter couldn't help but shudder, and immediately chose to shut up.

Back then, Lu Bu even dared to kill the first emperor's favorite ten permanent servants, not to mention the Huangmenlang in front of him.

It's just that killing him is useless, so Lu Bu didn't make a move.

"Chen Wei, take him out of the camp."

Lu Bu commanded, and then he had to discuss matters related to the war with the generals, so naturally he could not stay in the tent to observe.

"Huang Menlang, please." Chen Wei went over and lifted the curtain and said coldly.

Huang Menlang, who thought he had asked for a good errand, was annoyed and angry, snorted, and walked away.

After Huang Menlang left, Zhang Liao reminded with some concern: "Lord, will your rejection of Your Majesty like this cause Your Majesty's dissatisfaction?" ”

"It's not just dissatisfaction, it is estimated that there will be many people who will stand up and use the topic to play, saying that I ignore the king and have the heart of rebellion." Lu Bu smiled bitterly.

"Then you still ......" Zhang Liao wanted to say and stopped.

Lu Bu shook his head slightly, and said to the generals in the tent: "Now I have to send an arrow on the string, and when I return to the court in the future, I will ask Your Majesty for the guilt." ”

In order to get out of the customs this time, Lu Bu spent too much effort, and his sons and daughters also died a lot, so he would never allow him to give up halfway.

After some discussion with the generals, they still failed to come up with a reasonable strategic plan.

So, after dinner, Lu Bu ran to ask Guo Jia.

Going to bed early and getting up late has always been Guo Jia's style of life.

When Lu Bu came, he had already taken off his coat and was only wearing his underwear, ready to go to bed.

"Is there something wrong with Da Sima?"

Guo Jia saw Lu Bu who came in with the tent, got up from the bed, and walked over lazily with his shoes.

Guo Jia's lazy habits, Lu Bu was already not surprised, he found a place to sit down, and also motioned for Guo Jia to sit down, before asking: "This afternoon, I discussed with Wen Yuan and Gongming for a long time, but I still couldn't come up with a completely feasible solution, so I want to hear your opinion." ”

Hearing Lu Bu's question, Guo Jia obviously had a countermeasure and prompted: "Yuan Shu can ask for foreign aid, why can't we ask for it?" ”

Who can I invite?

Lu Bu couldn't think of it alone, looking at the whole world, all the princes were enemies, and who would be his allies?

"There are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal allies. As long as the benefits are there, even if it is an enemy, there will be a day when it will become an ally. ”

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth were slightly hooked, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

"What is the best plan for Feng Xiao, although it is said." Seeing Guo Jia's expression, Lu Bu felt a lot more relieved in his heart.

"Da Sima's biggest opponent at present is nothing more than Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao."

Guo Jia walked up to the unfolded map, swiped his fingers on the map, and spoke in detail.

"To deal with Cao Cao, the general can express Tao Qian as the general of Xuzhou Mu and Anton, and ask him to send troops to Yanzhou, Cao Cao learned that he will inevitably lead troops to refuse, and this is all the way."

"The general of Liaodong, Gongsun Zhan, has a younger brother named Gongsun Yue, and the general can play him as the commander of Bohai County. The land of the Bohai Sea is rich, Yuan Shao will not give it up, and Gongsun Zan is now gaining momentum, and not long ago he annexed the armies of Li Dao and Guo Yan. ”

"As for Yuan Shu, Da Sima only needs to send an envoy to Jingzhou, explain the stakes to Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, and ask him to send troops to cut off Yuan Shu's grain and grass."

Guo Jia is very confident, after all, Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to attack Jingzhou before, and almost broke through Xiangyang. Now that the opportunity has come, how can Liu Biao let it go?

When the grain and grass are cut off, it will be easy to break the Yuan technique.
