Chapter 176: Letter from Chen Gong

Mobile reading

After sending Lu Bu away, Cao Cao immediately summoned his generals and strategists to discuss the attack on Xuzhou, but before that, it was inevitable to discuss the battle with Feiqi yesterday.

Xu Chu's face was a little ugly, no matter what, the tiger and leopard cavalry was defeated, although no one blamed him, but his heart was very uncomfortable, if it was replaced by a real blade, he could kill more flying horses, but in the same way, the tiger and leopard riders were afraid that they would not be able to hold on for a long time, and the battle with the flying horses made him understand how the cavalry should fight, not as he imagined before.

"Lord, yesterday's battle with the flying cavalry, the tiger and leopard cavalry benefited a lot, and the humble duty found that on the flying horse, there is one more thing than the cavalry of our army." Xu Chu told what he found.

Cao Cao's eyes flashed, this was a major discovery, compared to defeat and the loss of a sword, he valued more to increase his own strength, "Oh, what is it?" ”

"There's something strange about that thing, the soldier of the flying horse, with his feet in it, seems to be able to control the war horse more freely." Xu Chu said, although he is a military general, he is more interested in things on the battlefield, and when facing the enemy's cavalry, his favorite thing to do is to observe the other party, look at the opponent's blades, armor, and horses.

"Remember the shape of this thing, let the blacksmith build it, and find out the use as soon as possible." Cao Cao said.

Lu Bu didn't know that the stirrup matter had been seen by Xu Chu a little clue, but he didn't care, the cavalry relied not only on the advantages of equipment, but also on its own quality, the flying cavalry was definitely standing at the top of the cavalry, as long as this advantage was maintained, he was not afraid of the cavalry of other princes, not to mention that the state had war horses, and the carefully selected war horses were not comparable to the princes of the Central Plains.

Seeing that the Bingzhou army had returned, Liu Bei opened the city gate and personally went out of the city to greet him, his face full of expectation and anxiety.

As soon as he entered the city, Liu Bei couldn't wait to ask: "Fengxian, what did Cao Cao say?" ”

Lu Bu shook his head slightly, "Cao Jun is determined to fight, but Meng De has already stated that he will not harm the people, and there is only so much he can do." ”

Liu Bei showed a look of disappointment, although this result was expected, when Lu Bu said it, he felt another thing in his heart, after all, his family background was very thin, and he experienced such a big war when he first took charge of Xuzhou, which was very unfavorable to the stability of Xuzhou in the future.

"There is labor first." Liu Bei thanked.

"Xuande, there are 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and there are Tian Kai and Zhao Yun guarding Xiapi, and it is expected that there will be no danger, with 30,000 troops, blocking the Cao army, it will definitely be no problem, the Cao army will come from afar, and when its grain and grass are exhausted, it will inevitably retreat." Lu Bu said with relief.

Although Liu Bei nodded yes, he was worried in his heart, in fact, he was not very optimistic about Lu Bu's persuasion of Cao Jun to retreat, at the beginning, maybe Cao Jun wanted to take revenge, but for the sake of the war to the present, Cao Jun obviously took Xuzhou as a target, occupying Xuzhou, which can greatly enhance the strength of Cao Jun, which Cao Cao can obviously see.

Cao Jun set up a formation to attack the city, so that the atmosphere in the city was a little tense, the people passing by on the street were in a hurry, many people secretly regretted why they did not leave Xuzhou before, the news of Cao Jun's slaughter of the people had already spread in Xuzhou, those people were demons, and there were even rumors among the people that Cao Jun would eat people after breaking through the city.

The Mi family has been squeezed out a lot in the city, Mi Zhu's attitude, so that Liu Bei is wary of him, and even took away Mi Fang's military power, although he is still a general in the army, but he has no military power in his hands, and he chose Lu Bu, he doesn't care about these, now, what he wants to do is that the war will calm down as soon as possible, and he will also follow Lu Bu to Jinyang, in Xuzhou, he can no longer see any hope.

Back at his residence, Lu Bu couldn't wait to take out the Qingyu Sword, wanting to see if this legendary sword was so powerful.

Looking at Dian Wei, who was holding an ordinary long sword, Lu Bu pulled out the Qing Yu Sword and slashed hard, only to see that the long sword in Dian Wei's hand was cut into two sections, and what surprised him even more was that the gap was extremely flat, but the blade of the Qing Yu Sword was not damaged at all, and the end was sharpened like clay.

"Good sword." Lu Bu praised, his face beaming.

The Qingyu Sword seemed to have been snatched away by Zhao Yun, but he didn't expect it to fall into his hands by mistake.

At this moment, Lu Bu unexpectedly got a letter, after reading the letter, Lu Bu's agitated mood could not be calmed down for a long time, the signature on the letter turned out to be Chen Gong, Chen Gong, this is a loyal advisor to Lu Bu, but it is the Lu Bu when he did not come to the Three Kingdoms.

Handing the letter to Guo Jia, Lu Bu kept figuring out Chen Gong's intentions, he didn't have any intersection with Chen Gong before, why did the other party suddenly write a letter, and between his words, he was quite disrespectful to Cao Cao.

After pondering for a long time, Guo Jia said in a low voice: "My lord, from a humble point of view, this matter will not be false, it is said that after Chen Gong persuaded Cao Cao not to attack Xuzhou to no avail, he went to Chen Liutai to guard Zhang Miao, and the two were very dissatisfied with Cao Cao's behavior. ”

"It's just that the state and Yanzhou are far apart, why would Chen Palace find the lord?" Guo Jia asked.

"Leave him alone, write him back and ask him if he would like to go to the state." Lu Budao, for the time being, he doesn't plan to tear his face with Cao Cao, the two get along very far under their rule, even if they occupy Yanzhou, what can they do, in the face of the surrounding eyes, it is difficult to do anything, they can only make wedding dresses for others.

"My lord, since this person intends to merge with the state, why not let this person stay in Yanzhou, it will definitely be of great use in the future." Guo Jia persuaded.

A fine light flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, this is indeed a good idea, and he buried such a person in Yanzhou silently, "Okay, it's up to you to reply to Chen Gong." ”

Hua Xiong, who fled from Chang'an, felt very angry, and finally killed Dong Zhuo, but it was because of Wang Yun that Li Dao, Guo Yan and others made a comeback and occupied Chang'an, making him like a lost dog.

After thinking about it, Hua Xiong chose to go to Yuan Shu to try his luck, but now he is also an official of the imperial court, not to mention that when the princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu was also a member of the princes, and he felt that if he took refuge in Yuan Shu, the chance of success would be greater.

Hearing that Hua Xiong led the troops to vote, Yuan Shu was overjoyed, Hua Xiong was the first fierce general under Dong Zhuo, when he was outside the Bishui Pass, but he beheaded two coalition generals in a row, and Yuan Shu, who lacked a general in his hands, was very polite to Hua Xiong, but he was quite vigilant in military power.

Being able to gain a foothold under Yuan Shu, Hua Xiong is also quite satisfied, after all, he was an enemy in the past, and he is already very courageous to be able to accept himself, as long as he has merit, is he still worried that he will not be reused, not to mention the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu as a son-in-law, there are not a few generals and strategists who come to meet him, and he has strong strength, and he seems to have a bright future.
