Chapter 719: The Whole North, I Want Them All!

The plan is a good plan.

But Gongsun Chan didn't nod.

"In the future, don't fight Xuande's idea again."

Gongsun Zhan dropped this sentence in a faint tone and strode out of the mansion.

Only Li Ru was left standing in the center of the hall, his eyes gloomy, not knowing what he was thinking.

On the other side, the 120,000 army commanded by Lu Bu had arrived in Luoyang after dozens of days of marching.

Due to the large number of troops and the large number of baggage, the speed of the march was naturally greatly reduced.

Lu Bu was not in a hurry, this time, he was ready to fight a protracted battle.

On the way, there were constant reports of battle coming from the front line.

Cao Cao's momentum was very strong, he conquered many cities in Xuzhou in a row, forced Tao Qian to retreat to Tan County, the two sides were deadlocked, and Cao Cao, who was angry, began to slaughter the city to vent his anger.

When Lu Bu's advisers learned of this, they were all shocked, saying that Cao Cao was fierce and violent, and he was actually a jackal.

Only Lu Bu is calm, if the revenge of killing his father can be endured, then Cao Cao will not be Cao Cao.

In Lu Bu's memory, so did Cao Cao in the previous life.

"Lord, once Cao Cao breaks through Xuzhou, the people of Xuzhou will be completely finished."

The courtyard of the Lu family's house in Luoyang City is full of military officers.

Chen Gong was the first to speak, and his tone was hurried, suggesting to speed up the pace of marching, and capture Yanzhou in one go while Cao Cao was still fighting in Xuzhou. Once Yanzhou is lost, Cao Cao will inevitably return to the army to rescue, so that it can be regarded as indirectly relieving the siege of Xuzhou and avoiding a catastrophe.

The generals nodded again and again, whether to save people or not is secondary, the most important thing is to have combat merits.

Lu Bu didn't say yes, and asked to the side: "Fengxiao, what do you think?" ”

Guo Jia, who was sitting in the third position of the strategist, thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I don't think that Cao Cao will continue to kill when he captures Xuzhou. ”

Perhaps because of getting married, today's Guo Jia seems to be much more mature than in the past.

"Why?" The crowd was puzzled.

"Feng Xiao's meaning is that Cao Cao used the slaughter of the city to intimidate Tao Qian, making the family and people of Xuzhou frightened and uneasy. In this way, when Xuzhou is captured in the future, it will be much easier to govern. ”

Guo Jia nodded.

Xiao Ji asked again: "Feng Xiaozhen thinks Cao Cao can capture Xuzhou?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head slightly, hooking the corners of his mouth: "There are no absolutes in everything, but in my opinion, Cao Cao is at least eighty percent sure." Of course, the premise is that the lord does not send troops to attack Yanzhou, and if the lord sends troops, Cao Cao will definitely give up Xuzhou and return to Yanzhou. ”

After all, Yanzhou was Cao Cao's base, and Cao Cao naturally couldn't watch it fall into Lu Bu's hands.

In front of people, Guo Jia always calls Lu Bu the lord, and only when there is a private family banquet, Guo Jia will follow Dong Bai and call out to his father-in-law.

"I don't deny that Cao Cao was impulsive, but I personally think that he should also have the ambition to privately annex Xuzhou, but it just so happened that his father was killed, so he took the opportunity to make trouble."

Guo Jia made a bold guess, as for whether this is the case, I am afraid that only Cao Cao knows it in his own heart.

Everyone thought about it in the direction led by Guo Jia, and it seemed to be right.

Cao Cao has been running Yanzhou for several years, and now that the neighboring Yuzhou has also been won, if you want to expand your territory, you really have to think about it.

To the west is Luoyang, which is under the jurisdiction of Lu Bu, to the north is Jizhou, where Yuan Shao is located, and to the south is Huainan, where Yuan Shu is entrenched.

As the so-called persimmon has to pick a soft pinch, looking at the princes everywhere, only Xuzhou in the east, it is best to pinch.

Xuzhou Mu Taoqian is already old, and his two sons, Tao Shang and Tao Ying, are not very promising, and they have not stepped into the official career.

Therefore, although Tao Qian won the hearts of the people in Xuzhou, he had no unscrupulous generals under his command, and it was difficult to fight with a strong enemy.

"In any case, this is a great time to attack Yanzhou." The conclusion of the coffin.

However, Lu Bu's answer caught everyone by surprise.

"Who said I was going to attack Yanzhou?"

Everyone was stunned, so excited, not to attack Yanzhou, is it really to come to see the play?

Even Guo Jia looked over here, looking slightly surprised.

If this had been placed in the past, Guo Jia would definitely scoff at it and disdain it.

But now, Lu Bu is no longer the simple-minded and reckless man with developed limbs, he has ambitions, and he also has the means, and knows how to buy people's hearts.

Seeing that everyone didn't understand what they meant, Lu Bu didn't say it clearly, but just said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will camp at the Tiger Prison Pass, and wait for Cao Cao and them to win or lose, and then make a plan." ”

In terms of resourcefulness, Lu Bu may not be as good as these strategists under him, but when it comes to the direction of the situation in Xuzhou, Lu Bu could not be clearer.

He's been through it once.

Knowing that Tao Qian sent someone to ask for help, Lu Bu didn't have to think about it to know that Liu Bei must be indispensable among these rescues.

In the previous life, the same situation was true.

LΓΌ Bu took the opportunity to attack Yanzhou, and when Cao Cao learned of it, he quickly returned to the rescue of the division, and the two sides fought many times in Yanzhou, which ended in LΓΌ Bu's retreat.

However, on the Xuzhou side, after Cao Cao retreated, it didn't take long for Tao Qian to die. The huge land of Xuzhou cheapened Liu Bei in vain.

It is precisely because of sitting in the position of Xuzhou Mu that Liu Bei began to become famous in the world.

In this life, Lu Bu is determined not to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei were both mortal enemies in the previous life.

Now that the two of them are really going to fight, Lu Bu is naturally happy to see it.

Anyway, he can't reach Xuzhou now, as for whose hands Xuzhou will fall into, it depends on Cao Cao and Liu Bei, what their means are.

If Cao Cao captured Xuzhou, LΓΌ Bu would take advantage of Xuzhou's instability and attack Yanzhou; If Cao Cao is defeated, it will be even better, a group of defeated generals, the army is unstable and demoralized, how can they be his enemy?

In general, no matter what the victory or defeat, Yanzhou will fight after all.

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, and they all shouted: "The name of the lord!" ”

Looking at the entire territory map of the Han Dynasty, Bingzhou, Xiliang, Sili, and Hanzhong have all been in the palm of their hands, leaving only Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, and Tao Qian, the six big forces, as for Liu Zhang in Yizhou, Lu Bu did not pay attention to it at all.

Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Tao Qian, don't worry, the more troublesome ones may be Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Gongsun Zhan. These three people themselves have a lot of ability, and there are a lot of people who can recruit good fighters, so it may be quite tricky to deal with.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu folded his hands and looked at the hall.

Looking from the left, Gao Shun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, Wei Musheng......

All of them are brave, which one is not a good general!

Look at the right again, Chen Gong, Guo Jia, Xiao Ji, Xin Ping, Sima Yi......

Everyone is confident, and who is not a good strategist!

With such a strong lineup, Lu Bu was full of pride in his chest, and he hated to roar passionately and tell the world.

This time, I won't lose again!

The whole North, I want them all!
