"Gongtai, let's talk about the next battle plan and arrangement."

Lu Bu, who was sitting in the position, shook his shoulders twice, and said indifferently with his eyes.

Chen Gong nodded and continued: "In the past few days, I have discussed with the lord many times, and after many adjustments, I have made the following arrangements. ”

The people in the hall immediately held their breath and pricked up their ears to listen.

"Among them, with Lu Yi as the general of Beizhonglang, and Zhang He, the lieutenant of Zhenwu, as the deputy, he is responsible for blocking Yuan Shao in the area of Dongjun." After Chen Gong finished speaking, no one in the hall responded.

Yan Liang's vanguard army was already approaching the border of Yanzhou, and Lu Yi was busy digging fortifications in Fanyang, so he was not present for today's discussion. Lu Bu did not blame this, he sent a letter early, conveying the matter to the Fanyang garrison.

"Zhang Liao is the general of Nanzhonglang, Xu Shu participated in the military, led an army of 50,000, and your strategic base is Fuling south of Chenliu, responsible for resisting Zhang Xiu from Nanyang."

"The last general commands!"

Zhang Liao and Xu Shu came out to hug their fists at the same time, and since the time of the young marshal, he has repeatedly cooperated tacitly, and he can be regarded as an old partner.

Xu Shu has also changed from a young man who was obsessed with kendo to a calm and wise young man.

"Ma Chao is the general of Dongzhong Lang, Xiao Ji participated in the military, Pang De was the deputy, led an army of 30,000, from Danxian to Shansang, formed fortifications, and blocked Yuan Shu's Huainan army."

"The last general commands!"

Ma Chao and Pang De replied, and Xiao Ji also nodded.

"General Gao Shun, you will lead the men and horses of your headquarters to resist the Jingzhou army from the south in the Jianping-Taiqiu area."

"Order!"

Gao Shun's tone was dull, but it gave people a particularly reassuring sense of security.

"The other generals who did not receive the order all followed the lord to the east, facing Cao, Liu, and Gongsun Zan from the front, and annihilating the rebels in one fell swoop!"

"Whoa!"

The generals roared with enthusiasm and high morale.

In addition to these deployments, Lu Bu also asked Sima Yi to take his handwritten letter to Bingzhou, and ordered the newly appointed Bingzhou pastor Liu Yu to collect the troops of Bingzhou from now on, stationed in the northern part of Montenegro, and wait until the right time to attack Youzhou.

Without Gongsun Chan sitting in Yijing, with the prestige that Liu Yu had accumulated in Youzhou before, recovering Youzhou would not be easy, at least not too difficult.

Then Lu Bu sent people to Hanzhong, so that Zhang Lu could send troops, and Hanzhong could go directly to Nanyang after Shangyong, and then he would attack Zhang Liao before and after, and he would definitely be able to break Zhang Xiu.

In the end, Lü Bu also sent people to Jiangdong, and ordered Sun Ce, the general of Huwei, to send troops to attack Huainan, once Yuan Shu could not resist, he would inevitably withdraw his troops to rescue. In this way, Yuan Shu's thief army was also broken.

If he can hold out until Liu Yu breaks through Youzhou, Yuan Shao will definitely have to send troops back to prevent Liu Yu from invading Jizhou southward.

In this way, several forces collapsed, and Lu Bu could only deal with the Cao Liu coalition army in the east with peace of mind.

"The lord is wise!"

After listening to this, all the people were convinced.

…………

A few days later, Pengcheng.

The three armies of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zhan converged here, and the alliance leader Liu Wei was also here.

There were only a handful of people in the huge council hall.

Liu Wei is in the center, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan are on his left, and Cao Cao is on his right.

Liu Bei, who has always been approachable, has a rare gloomy face today, holding the seized document tightly in his hand, and the bulging green tendons on the back of his hand are visible to the naked eye.

In the text, the Son of Heaven scolded them for being wolf-hearted and vain Hanchen, but he made a disobedient act against the imperial court, and characterized them as anti-thieves, calling on the people of the world to fight them together.

Among several people, only Liu Bei cares most about reputation.

"Xuande, don't be angry, look at Liu Jingsheng, who has been removed from the clan, do you see what he said?" Cao Cao, who was sitting opposite, comforted him with kind words.

In Cao Cao's eyes, Liu Bei is a person with perseverance and ambition, and he is a person who does great things, but his courage is a little worse and his heart is not ruthless enough. So I often feel sad because of my reputation.

No, Xuzhou has been a pastor for several years, and he still hasn't completely subdued those local families.

Even if Xuzhou suffered a military disaster in previous years and the population loss was severe, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses could still be gathered. As a result, Liu Bei drained his family and brought in 60,000 soldiers.

To put it bluntly, I still don't want to tear my face with those big families.

If this were to be me, it is estimated that in half a month at most, I will be able to gather the soldiers and horses, and I will not dare to put one of these family farts.

Cao Cao thought so, but unfortunately Xuzhou was not owned by him, and Liu Bei was also popular in Xuzhou.

"Xuande, what Cao Mengde said is good. As long as this battle can be won, what are you still worried about the identity of the Han family? Gongsun Chan patted Liu Bei on the shoulder, and said very arrogantly on the outline of his square face.

Originally, Gongsun Chan didn't plan to come to this troubled water, but Liu Wei personally went to Yi Jing to look for him, and told him that his cousin Gongsun Fan died in the Bohai Sea, and it was Lu Bu who secretly made people do it, in order to separate Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao and make them consume each other.

Gongsun Chan is fierce by nature, and when he heard about this, he thought about it in his mind, and it seemed that this was really the case.

When this incident happened, Li Ru also persuaded himself, but at that time, Gongsun Chan was angry, and Changshi Guan Jing added oil and vinegar on the side, how could Gongsun Chan still listen.

Now thinking about Liu Bian's words, the more Gongsun Zhan thinks about it, the more he feels that if Liu Biao is right, this matter is ninety percent of the bureau set up by Lu Bu.

Therefore, after negotiating peace with Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan took his cavalry south and came to Lu Bu to ask for an explanation.

In fact, Liu Wei did not have any definite evidence to prove that Gongsun Fan was killed by Lu Bu, and it was not impossible to say that Cao Cao, the pastor of Yanzhou at that time, sent someone to do it.

But in order to be able to win over Gongsun Chan to jointly deal with Lu Bu, Liu Wei planted the matter on Lu Bu's head logically, and it turned out that Gongsun Chan was really moved to send troops.

After hearing Gongsun Zhan's words, Liu Bei also found a step for himself, and his mood gradually stabilized: "This edict is not what the Son of Heaven wants, it must be Lu Bu who coerced the Son of Heaven and forced him to do so!" ”

"Xuzhou Mu said even."

Liu Wei nodded and said seriously: "So we are not going to crusade against the imperial court, but Lu Bu!" ”

"As for this document sent by Lu Bu, I also ordered someone to write a new book to beg for thieves, denouncing Lu Bu for coercing the Son of Heaven, and inviting the righteous people in the world to fight against the thieves with us!"

Anyway, Liu Wei also has a jade seal in his hand, and he claims to be under the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, and no one can find fault with him.

The scolding war between the two sides began, Lu Bu said that Liu Wei was a traitor, and Liu Wei said that Lu Bu coerced the Son of Heaven and wanted to change the dynasty.

It's like you say 'loyal ministers don't care about the two masters', but I say 'good ministers choose the lord and do things', each has its own reason, and no one can judge it clearly.

In the end, it still depends on whose fists are hard enough.
