The army Jiang Ji mentioned was the Lu Bu army that was killing all sides in Yangzhou at this time.

After Cao Cao agreed to send troops to take over Yuan Shu in Yangzhou, Lü Bu and Xu Huang led the army to set off.

Now more than four months have passed, and the huge Yangzhou has been defeated by Lu Bu and Xu Huang as much as half, and Yuan Shu only relies on the strong barrier of Shouchun City to defend to the death.

Yuan Shu had no reinforcements at all, and even the people in the city were forced to the city wall by his subordinates with knives at this time, and it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.

The reason why Yuan Shu was defeated so badly and so quickly was because of the previous battle in Yuzhou, which can be said to have directly damaged the foundation of Yuan Shu.

Ji Ling, the most trusted and capable general under him, committed suicide, and the most elite team was wiped out.

It can be said that in that battle, more than seventy percent of Yuan Shu's combat power had been defeated.

Originally, Cao Cao wanted to pull Yuan Shu, but after the persuasion of Xun Yu and others, Cao Cao decided to push Yuan Shu who was already standing on the edge of the cliff.

This is why Lu Bu and Xu Huang went on this expedition, and sure enough, as soon as Lu Bu and Xu Huang arrived in Yangzhou, they felt Yuan Shu's weakness.

It didn't take much effort at all to occupy a large area of land in Yangzhou.

What Lu Bu and Xu Huang didn't expect was that in the early days of their invasion of Yangzhou, Yuan Shu thought that the two of them were ordered by General Cao Cao to help him hold Yangzhou.

He was so stupid as to send one of his officials to serve directly in the army of Lu Bu and Xu Huang, and it was also the most important position in the supervision army.

Yuan Shu's stupidity made Lu Bu and Xu Huang very speechless, and after ordering someone to directly behead the official sent by Yuan Shu, Lu Bu sent someone to send the other party's head back to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu knew that something was wrong, but when he wanted to lead the army to counterattack, he found that he didn't have many available troops under his command.

It can be said that Lu Bu and Xu Huang didn't make much effort at all, so they besieged Yuan Shu in Shouchun City.

If it weren't for Shouchun City, which was a place that Yuan Shu had been running for a long time, it would be impossible for him to keep it for such a long time.

However, now Yuan Shujun has also reached the point of exhaustion, although the rice grain in Shouchun City is enough to last for a long time, but the morale of the army and the people has long been floating.

Not long ago, some people were ready to open the city to surrender to Lu Bu and others, but Yuan Shu's luck was better, and he discovered this change in advance, so that he could survive for a while.

But this is just a drop in the bucket, as long as it takes another month at most, Lu Bu will be absolutely sure that he will be able to take the fortified city in front of him without blood.

And Cao Pi and Jiang Ji were eyeing Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian at this time, of course, except for Lu Bu, they could not target other generals under Cao Cao.

Not to mention anything else, that is, the loyalty of Cao Cao's generals to him is not something that the current Cao Pi and Jiang Ji can easily shake.

Only Lu Bu, the new general, can they have a little bit of certainty.

As for how to control Lu Bu, in the eyes of Jiang Ji and Cao Pi, it is nothing more than holding Lu Bu's lifeblood at this time, and because of Lu Bu's previous behavior, Cao Cao does not trust him.

Therefore, it will not be like the rest of the generals under him, as long as the army goes out, food and grass will be directly given enough.

Lü Bu and Xu Huang went to conquer Yuan Shu, but Cao Cao only gave them less than three months' worth of grain and grass.

Even if they added the grain and grass they could mobilize from the cities they had already taken, the grain and grass that Lu Bu's army could use now would not exceed two months at most.

Jiang Ji heard that Xu Huang's handwritten document begging for grain had been placed on the lord's case.

Now wait for the lord's order, and the grain and grass can be transported from Linzi to Lu Bu's army.

And Jiang Ji is eyeing this opportunity, and now it is their own people who are in charge of Linzi's grain and grass, and he can directly do something from it.

When he takes the grain and grass out of Qingzhou, then he will immediately divide the grain and grass in his hand into two parts, and he will directly hand over a small part of it to Lu Bu.

Most of the remaining grain and grass, Jiang Ji has already found a place to hide, if Lu Bu can know and understand, then everything is negotiable.

But if Lu Bu hesitates a little, then the batch of grain and grass he hid will never fall into the hands of the other party, and it will be he Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian who will be embarrassed at that time.

Now there is no one in Linzi City who does not know, the lord is full of wariness of Lu Bu, and even if the official document asking for grain and grass is not written by Xu Huang himself, Lu Bu does not want to ask for a grain from the lord.

Now that he and his second son have been forced into a desperate situation, they will no longer have so many scruples.

The second son's cronies who stayed with the lord had already stolen the other half of the tiger talisman that the lord gave to Xu Huang.

With this half of the tiger talisman in hand, he can mobilize Xu Huang in the name of the lord in Lu Bu's army, and let Xu Huang go to crusade against the rest of the cities in Yangzhou.

And even if Lu Bu knew that he had cheated him, he didn't have any way to take him, and he might not even have the courage to kill himself.

Because once he does it to himself, then it is equivalent to directly announcing that he is going to rebel again, and at that time, both the lord and Xu Huang will have the ability to get rid of him directly.

Therefore, Lu Bu has a great possibility that he will be forced to surrender to the second son because of the relationship between grain and grass.

As for how much sincerity he has, no one but God can know.

But it doesn't matter much, in Jiang Ji's opinion, although Lu Bu looks like a hero, he is actually a cowardly person who is full of children's affection.

As long as the second son can firmly control his family in his hands, he is not afraid that Lu Bu will not comply, and after the second son is completed, there will be no need for Lu Bu to stay!

This is the way that Jiang Ji has come up with to get them out of their predicament.

Although there are many loopholes in this method, the current situation at this time forced Jiang Ji to make a desperate bet.

If they can force Lu Bu to surrender to the second son, then as long as they suddenly launch when they return to the city in victory, directly control the lord in their hands, and force the lord to pass on the throne to the second son, everything will be a foregone conclusion at that time.

Even if the eldest prince is not satisfied, he has no ability to change all this, and even when the eldest prince can't even make a sound, he will be directly eradicated by the second son.

At that time, the lord was controlled by the second son, and the military generals and ministers under the lord's command had to submit, as long as the second prince managed it well for a few years, I believe that he would be able to subdue the loyalty of those people.

As for what will happen to the old lord Cao Cao at that time, it is naturally not something he should care about, and now Jiang Ji is thinking about how to assist Cao Pi to achieve great things!
