Chapter 338: Cao Cao's Invitation
Sun Ce just stared at Liu Biao coldly, in his opinion, what emperor, in the face of absolute strength, is nothing, the Han Emperor of Chang'an, can be described as the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, not still dead in the chaos of the army, these years of turmoil in the Han Dynasty, the majesty of the Han family in the hearts of the princes is also gradually lost, if it is put in the period of Emperor Ling, even if the emperor ordered to behead the Sun family, the descendants of the Sun family do not dare to have a whisper, this is the absolute majesty, in comparison, Liu Biao is a little weak.
Seeing this, the generals under Sun Ce's command also drew their swords and faced each other, and the atmosphere in the tent suddenly froze.
"Stand down." Thinking of Liu Biao's identity, Sun Ce chose to be patient.
Being provoked by Sun Ce in public, Liu Biao felt that his face was damaged, his identity was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and any Han emperor would be insulted by his courtiers like this" General Sun is so majestic, he didn't take me in his eyes at all. ”
Sun Ce hugged his fists and said: "Shicai is reckless, if it weren't for the provocation of the generals under the command of the Holy Lord, how could the generals under the command of the minister do it?" ”
Liu Biao snorted coldly and set his eyes on Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao observed the movements of the princes, he behaved extremely well-behaved, at least he did not confront Liu Biao like Sun Ce, and it is unknown what he thought in his heart.
"The matter of breaking the thief, there is no delay, a few days ago, the Marquis of Jin defeated Huaxiong, killed the general of the rebel army, and shook the momentum of our army. Liu Biaodao.
Lu Bu secretly despised in his heart, what kind of reward for meritorious deeds, it is better to have some practical cost-effectiveness, anyone can see that Liu Biao, the emperor, does not have much influence on the princes.
"Holy Lord, the traitor Yuan Shu has 100,000 troops, and our army has come from afar, so be careful that the army in the city cuts off our army's food route." Cao Cao reminded.
"The matter of grain and grass is escorted by my general Wang Wei, and at this time, Yuan Shu's army can't hold out, how dare he order someone to cut off our army's grain road, Shanyang Hou is too worried." Liu Biao said with a smile.
Lu Bu frowned slightly, if the grain road is cut off by Yuan Shu's army, the impact on the army is huge, the enemy is strong, the soldiers can support it, if the army has no grain and grass, it will definitely lead to a mutiny in the army, it can be seen from this incident that in terms of marching and fighting, Liu Biao is a lot worse, cutting off the grain road has many benefits, and there is no need to send too many soldiers and horses to go, only a thousand cavalry are needed, and the cavalry has strong mobility on the battlefield, it is difficult to be broken by the army, once trapped by the grain and grass, it is a big trouble.
The next day, Liu Biao and the princes led 50,000 soldiers and horses to the outside of Anfeng City.
"The Holy Lord is in person, and the traitor Yuan Shu comes out to answer!" Wen hired a prancing horse and shouted under the city.
The closed city gate slowly opened, and a group of soldiers and horses rushed out, and in the center of the army, Yuan Shu's chariots and horses were more luxurious than Liu Biaolai.
Liu Biao, accompanied by all the princes, stepped forward and said loudly: "Yuan Highway, in the past, Dong Zhuo controlled the dynasty, and when the Han family was in danger, you also led the troops to join the princes to crusade against the traitor Dong Zhuo, why is it that now he is committing a rebellion, arrogantly claiming to be the Son of Heaven, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, and there is such a rebellion as you." ”
Yuan Shu snorted coldly: "Liu Jingsheng, don't you also covet the emperor's position, I am holding the jade seal, but I am obedient to the heavens, but you are here to raise troops, and the Zhong family is the enemy, don't get off the horse and surrender quickly, otherwise the sword and axe will be added, and it will be too late to regret." ”
"Yuan Highway, it's not too late to know that you are lost, why bother to be obsessed and lose your life in vain, isn't it a pity." Liu Biao shook his head and said.
Seeing that the two of them were talking about their words in front of the battle, Lu Bu felt a little boring, the two of them were all for themselves, but Yuan Shu was too eager, claiming to be the Son of Heaven, although he could get a lot of benefits, the disadvantages were also obvious, in comparison, Liu Biao, the emperor, was more appealing.
"From Meng De's point of view, can this battle be won?" Lu Bu asked in a low voice.
Cao Cao nodded and shook his head again.
"What does Meng De mean by that?" Lu Bu asked.
"Tonight, there is a banquet in the Hou army, and I hope Feng Xian can go." Cao Cao said.
Lu Bu knew that Cao Cao had something inconvenient to say, so he nodded and agreed.
Liu Biao and Yuan Shu fought for a long time on the tongue, each holding a word, and then the army rushed to kill for a while, collected the troops and returned to the camp, and the two armies were only a symbolic battle, but there was no real fire.
Looking at Cao Cao carefully, Lu Bu suddenly felt that after more than a year, Cao Cao looked a little older, and it was also the fact that the high-spirited Yanzhou Army was in Xuzhou, and suddenly faced the situation of having a home and it was difficult to return, and it was not easy to come out of that crisis.
"Sit down." There were only Cao Cao and Lu Bu in the big tent, which was extremely empty.
"It's rare to get together again with Bongxian." Cao Cao sighed.
"Meng De, please!" Lu Bu picked up the wine cup and drank it all.
"The Jin wine in Bingzhou is really a rare wine." Cao Cao said with a smile: "At the beginning, the princes all underestimated Feng Xian. ”
Lu Bu smiled slightly, "Why did Meng De say this, compared with the rich Central Plains, the barren and barren states are naturally not worth mentioning." ”
"Back then, Feng Xian and I fought against Dong Zhuo, but when Xuzhou was besieged, Feng Xian came to help Liu Bei, but at this time, the Han Dynasty was getting more and more chaotic."
"Now that Liu Biao has inherited the unification, and Liu Biao has ambitions, the revitalization of the Han family is just around the corner." Lu Bu replied.
"There are no outsiders here, why should Feng Xian test me with words, what kind of person Liu Biao, presumably Feng Xian knows in his heart that this person is talented, but he is like a virtuous monarch, sitting in Jingzhou, but he is resentful of Jiangdong, Yuan Shu and Yanzhou, how can it last long, if it is not for the inheritance of the unification, I am afraid that Jingzhou has fallen into war." Cao Cao lowered his voice and said: "Liu Biao is targeting Yanzhou, Bingzhou and Jiangdong, presumably Feng Xian has also seen it. ”
Seeing Cao Cao's frank demeanor, Lu Bu also sighed: "With the Bingzhou army as the vanguard, but it is to send five thousand Jingzhou old and weak to go, how can this marquis not know, and the generals in the Jingzhou army are arrogant and arrogant, Liu Biao has no strategy for marching and fighting, I am afraid it will not be easy to break Yuan's technique." ”
"Feng Xian, Yuan Highway and Yuan Shao are both members of the Yuan family, and they have to be guarded against." Cao Cao reminded in a low voice.
Lu Bu was alarmed in his heart, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were at odds in history, but now history has changed dramatically because of his arrival, and even the Han Emperor died in Chang'an, what could not happen.
Seeing Lu Bu's solemn expression, Cao Cao continued: "If Liu Biao takes Jiangdong, Yanzhou, and Bingzhou as the front, what should Feng Xian do? ”
"Hmph, if Liu Biao really thinks that he can do whatever he wants in the army as the emperor, and the state army doesn't know any Han emperor." Lu Bu snorted coldly.
