Chapter 617: Xun Yu's Strategy
Cheng Yu and Man Chong, who were standing next to Xun You, nodded approvingly.
"Does Gongda have a solution?" Seeing Xun Youdao's intention to break Lu Bu's use of troops, Cao Cao asked again. Zhang Miao is his old friend, and he has repeatedly helped himself, Cao Cao has no reason not to save him.
Xun You stepped forward and offered advice: "The lord can write a letter and send someone to deliver it to Lu Bu, stating the key points, and indicating that he has no intention of competing with him, and asking him to let go of the county guard Zhang Miao." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tent was in an uproar.
Xiahoudun, who was in the main battle, turned his face on the spot, and scolded mercilessly and loudly: "What kind of bullshit idea is this!" β
There is a way that the Lord is insulted, and all the subordinates are incompetent.
Cao Cao waved his hand, making Xiahou feel rude, and then sighed: "It's nothing for me to bow my head, but I'm afraid that Lu Bu won't agree." β
"Of course he won't say yes, because it's just the first step in the plan."
Xun You took over the words, and a touch of confidence appeared on his face, but his appearance was wooden, and he was a little stupid when he laughed: "The lord's approach to show weakness to Lu Bu is only secondary, mainly to show the world that he has no rebellious heart, but because Lu Bu is aggressive and relies on the strong to bully the weak." β
Cao Cao nodded, the biggest disadvantage of fighting against Lu Bu is that if he is not careful, he will be charged with rebels against the court and disobeying the Son of Heaven, which is one of the things that Cao Cao is unwilling to accept.
After all, in Cao Cao's heart, he has always prided himself on being loyal to the Han family.
At the same time, the lord could send an envoy to meet Yuan Shao in Hebei and express his willingness to form an alliance with him against LΓΌ Bu. and informed Yuan Shao that he would help him contain the main force of Lu Bu's army in the Yanzhou area, so that Yuan Shao could attack the Hanoi area with peace of mind. β
Xun You stroked the soft beard on his chin and talked eloquently. LΓΌ Bu gathered a large army in the territory of Chenliu, so that the forces in Hanoi and other places were bound to be relatively weak. Once Yuan Shao pushed the battle line into Hanoi, LΓΌ Bu was bound to turn his horse back to the rescue.
At that time, the Yanzhou crisis will be solved.
"In addition, the lord can also contact one person. This person resented Lu Bu, as long as he provoked it slightly, he would definitely not let go of this opportunity to encircle and suppress Lu Bu. β
A flash of brightness flashed in Xun You's eyes, and with a little brain, it was not difficult to guess the name of this person.
It is the general and the heir to the Yuan family in Huainan, Yuan Shu!
In the land of Huainan, there are rivers and lakes widely spread in the territory, rich and rich people, and the population is huge. After several generations of operation by the Yuan family, it can basically be regarded as one acre and three points of land for the Yuan family themselves.
Yuan Shu has been entrenched in Huainan in the past two years, recruiting talents, and has many generals under his command, and even Sun Jian, who is known as the 'Jiangdong Tiger', is working for him.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Yuan Shu is the largest force in the south.
If you want to talk about the grievances between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, this Liangzi has actually been taken over a long time, and it can be traced back to the reign of the first emperor.
At that time, Yuan Shu was still serving as the general of the Tiger Ben, and Lu Bu was the general of the Yulin Zhonglang. Due to the competition between the two royal forbidden armies, Yuan Shu was dismissed from office and almost lost his life.
Especially in the first two years, Yuan Shu strayed into the prison, and it can be said that he was subjected to criminal law in Chang'an Ting Prison, which made him hate Lu Bu.
If there is a chance to attack and kill Lu Bu, does Yuan Shuyan have a reason not to come?
Cao Cao, who figured it out, touched the short hair on his face, stroked his palms and laughed: "The public policy is exactly what I want!" β
The tricky trouble that had just given him a headache that he couldn't get started with it, after Xun You's words, it became extremely relaxed.
"Generals, immediately reorganize the soldiers and horses, and return to Yanzhou with me!"
Cao Cao ordered loudly, a pair of small eyes flashing. Since Lu Bu wants to swallow the entire north, you have to look at your belly first, whether it can support our hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Hearing this order, all the generals couldn't hide their excitement and excitement on their faces, and they responded in unison with their fists: "Oh! β
Subsequently, Cao Cao wrote a letter in the account and handed it over to Li Dian, Man Chong, and Cheng Yu respectively. Among the three, Li Dian went to Chenliu, where Lu Bu was located, Manzhong went to Hebei, and Cheng Yu went to Huainan.
When the army set off, Li Dian said a simple goodbye to Cao Cao, mounted a fast horse, and galloped quickly.
Running around day and night, rushing all the way.
It only took three days to arrive at the Lu Bu garrison.
Outside the camp, the soldiers guarding the gate directly stopped Li Dian and interrogated him strictly.
Fortunately, Li Dian is not a reckless person, and he can't get the slightest advantage by forcibly breaking in, so he said to the guard at the door: "I'm tired of doing something, and I have something important to visit your lord." β
"Heh, there are more people who want to see my father-in-law, how old are you?" The soldier on the left had a disdainful face, and he didn't know how many people came from various counties to see Lu Bu every day.
The soldier on the right had a better attitude, and asked Li Dian according to the process: "Who are you?" If there is nothing important, you should leave as soon as possible, so as not to be blasted out of the camp later. β
Although Li Dian was angry in his heart, he still pulled down his face and said with a smile: "I am under the command of Yanzhou Mu, Li Dian, the captain of Dongping, and I came to see Da Sima on the order of Zhou Mu, and I was troubled by the little brother. β
After the soldiers looked up and down, they saw that Li Dian didn't seem to be lying, so they went in and went up the floors.
Not long after, Li Dian saw a cold-looking young man walk out and asked him, "Are you Li Dian?" β
Li Dian saw that his weapons were extraordinary, thinking that he was a heavy general under Lu Bu, and hurriedly nodded.
"Come with me."
Chen Weidao said and led Li Dian to the camp where Lu Bu was.
When he came to the outside of the big tent, after getting Chen Wei's signal, Li Dian took a step and walked into the tent.
In the big tent that was raised, there were quite a few people gathered inside, including scribes and ministers, as well as military generals and officers.
"Why didn't Cao Mengde come?" A voice of laziness and a hint of disappointment sounded.
Li Dian looked in the direction from which the voice came, and only glanced at it, and suddenly chuckled in his heart, and kept jumping. This person is handsome, with eyebrows like greedy wolves, and his face is full of eyes, especially the cold glow from those pupils, which is even more timid.
Is this the demeanor of the first person in the world?
Li Dian swallowed his saliva unconsciously, looking a little nervous. After calming down again, he took out the letter in his arms, handed it with both hands, and said respectfully: "My lord is a thief in Rencheng, and he couldn't come to greet him in person, so I ask Da Sima to forgive me." Later, when he heard that Da Sima was besieging Chen Liu, he was shocked, and the special commander brought a letter to ask Da Sima to take a look. β
In order to prevent fraud, Cao Xuan rushed up and grabbed it first.
After playing with it in his hand for a long time, he found that there was nothing abnormal, so Cao Xingcai handed the bamboo slip to Lu Bu and laughed very flatteringly: "Boss, look, look." β
