After a while, Zhou Yu put down the teacup, with a slightly puzzled look on his face, and said softly: "The secret letter said that the soldiers and horses of the three routes attacked at the same time, smashed the Eryuan forces in one fell swoop, and clearly ordered us to capture at least two states. This is definitely a big deal, and the burden on our shoulders is not light! However, judging from the current shape, it is not difficult; After all, our army sent more than 300,000 troops this time, and almost used more than half of the main battle camps of the whole army, and it was not a problem to capture the land of the two states.

However, what I am most worried about now is, is Xuzhou Lu Bu really willing to obey the dispatch of the lord? If Lü Bu refuses to send troops, then our army will be in a passive position on the Huainan battlefield and will become the main force attacking Yuan Shu. As a result, even if our army defeated Yuan Shu, it would not occupy much territory, and it was very likely that in the end it would be copied by Xuzhou Lu Bu, Jiangdong Sun Ce or Jingzhou Liu Biao, and take advantage of the fishermen to divide up Yangzhou and Yuzhou under Yuan Shu's rule.

In the final analysis, the strength of our army is too scattered, and the three-way soldiers and horses are distributed on the three battlefields, separated by hundreds of miles, or even thousands of miles, and it is difficult to take care of the end of the end, which leaves an opportunity for other princes to take advantage of and reap the benefits. I don't know what Brother Wen and Brother think about this? ”

Jia Xu nodded lightly in disapproval, pondered and said: "What Gong Jin said is extremely true, and he broke through the mystery in one sentence. At present, our army is divided into three routes, and 370,000 troops have been mobilized one after another to participate in the battle against Yuan, which are distributed on various battlefields.

First, the lord led the army to the east to conquer Youzhou, and now he has subdued Gongsun Zhan, pocketed Youzhou, and integrated more than 100,000 Youzhou troops; At present, the lord is leading the army to fight against the Wuhuan and Xianbei coalition forces against Lu Longsai, and the war is about to break out. Second. Zhendong general Bocai led the Wuwei battalion to capture Nanyang, and joined up with the military battalion of Xu Rong, the general of Annan, who was guarding Wuguan, and dispatched 100,000 infantry troops to attack Yuzhou. Step by step, encroaching on the territory of Huainan Yuanshu. Third, Gong Jin led the Qinglong Battalion and the Flying Bear Battalion into Hanoi County, forming a large army pressure on Jizhou, forcing Jizhou Yuan Shao not to act rashly, so as to respond to the war in Youzhou and ensure that the main prince would not be disturbed by the Jizhou army when he fought against the barbarians. so as not to be attacked on the belly and back.

Looking at the overall situation, the situation of Gongjin's department is the safest, and it is in the rear of the division. No worries. On the battlefield of Youzhou, the lord has 200,000 male soldiers in his hands, and the troops are sufficient, even if Yuan Shao of Jizhou orders Ju Yi to attack Youzhou, it does not matter. The lord has long been wary of this. And so it goes. The 100,000 army led by the two generals Bocai and Xu Rong was in the most dangerous situation, their accounts were all infantry troops, the speed of the march was slow, and they were in the cracks of the princes' forces, which was equivalent to a lone army going deep, and they could be attacked by Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Lu Bu of Xuzhou at any time. What Gong Jin is worried about is this road of soldiers and horses, especially worried that the capricious Xuzhou Lu Bu will sneak attack my army going south? ”

Zhou Yu bowed his head in response: "Exactly." Lu Buqi is uncertain. Life is parallel to doing things arbitrarily, eager for quick success, capricious. It is impossible to figure it out with common sense. However, the wolf cavalry under his command is brave and good at fighting, and its combat effectiveness is very strong, which should not be underestimated. In addition, Lu Bu himself is a brave and fierce battlefield general, once he has a whim and decides to sneak attack the army of Bocai and Xu Rong, the result will be unimaginable. Therefore, when Cao Cao of Yanzhou regained the foundation of Yanzhou in the past, he said: The hero of the world, Lu Bu is not dead, who dares to be the hero? Now that I think about it carefully, Cao Cao's words are also made with feelings, and there is something in his words, not groundless and alarmist. After speaking, Zhou Yu's expression was deep, and he seemed to be quite jealous of Lu Bu.

Hearing Zhou Yu mention Cao Cao's past words again, Jia Xu's expression changed slightly, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he gently stroked his beard, thoughtful. After a while, Jia Xu smiled and said: "The person Gongjin is worried about right now is Xuzhou Lu Bu. Gong Jin may not know much about this person, but Jia and the lord know a lot about Lu Buqi. When Dong Xiangguo was alive, the lord and Lü Bu fought repeatedly, and a bloody battle was launched on the bank of the Ba River, and in the end the lord had a slight advantage, and Lü Bu was defeated and fled.

It is not shy to say that the lord is stepping on Lu Bu's shoulders to become famous all over the world. It was precisely because of an opponent like Lu Bu that the lord quickly gained a firm foothold in the former Xiliang army, and was strongly supported by most of the generals in the army, thus laying the foundation for the lord to take charge of the Xiliang army. In the Chang'an Rebellion, the lord once led his army to besiege the remnants of Lü Bu who fled south, and surrounded them under Wuguan City. At that time, Lu Bu was desperate, and he had already decided to dismount and be bound, and he was bound to die. But the lord opened his net and made an alliance with him under the city, and let Lu Bu go lightly at the cost of Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cao Xing, and the belonging of the Eight Hundred Trap camp.

Since then, everyone in the world thinks that the lord has the benevolence of a woman, and the tiger is in endless trouble, and regards it as a stupid act, and believes that this is the first major failure in the life of the lord. To this day, there are still many people who remember this and privately slander the lord and the wise man for a while. I wonder how Gongjin feels about this? ”

"Oh?" Zhou Yu looked surprised, he didn't understand that it had been six years since Wuguan City indulged Lu Bu, why did Jia Xu bring up the old matter again?

In fact, as Jia Xu said, although it has been a long time since Wuhou Li Li bought and released Lu Bu, it has been controversial, and everyone has different opinions and opinions. But on the whole, most people think that this incident is a rare decision-making mistake on the part of Li Li, and underestimated Lu Bu's ability, so that after Lu Bu went south, he provoked incidents again and again, and after several ups and downs, he was still the hegemon of one side in the end. And with Lu Bu coming back after falling again and again, Li Li was criticized for this, especially the princes of the Central Plains who were deeply harmed by Lu Bu, while hating Lu Bu to the core, they also slandered Li Li and gritted their teeth.

Zhou Yu had also heard about this matter before, and his attitude was similar to that of most people, thinking that Li Li had indeed missed a great opportunity to kill Lu Bu, so that Lu Bu, who had escaped death, had caused chaos in the states and counties of the Central Plains, and the situation was chaotic. However, to this day, when Zhou Yu went back to sort out the situation in the world, he unexpectedly found that what Lu Bu had done was extremely beneficial to Li Li and even the entire Xiliang army. In other words, it was Lü Bu who stirred up trouble in the Central Plains, stirred up the situation in the Central Plains, and won Li Li and the Xiliang army at least three years of recuperation. Li Li took advantage of this time to pacify the Xiliang border troubles, actively restore and develop the people's livelihood, build water conservancy, reclaim tuntian, recuperate, and firmly control the reorganized Xiliang army, thus laying a solid foundation and laying a favorable situation of sitting in Xiliang and coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

At the same time, it was precisely Lü Bu who led the remnants of the army into the Central Plains and acted arbitrarily that made the princely forces such as Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, Zhang Miao of Chenliu, and Zhang Yang of Hanoi continue to kill and attack in a few years, but they have always stood still and cannot advance an inch. Among them, the princes such as Cao Cao of Yanzhou and Chen Liu, Zhang Miao, etc., were deeply affected, either dead or injured. As a result, Hanoi Zhang Yang, Chen Liu, Zhang Miao, Bai Bo Thief and other forces were all tossed and destroyed by Lu Bu, but only Yanzhou Cao Cao was extremely tenacious and finally survived.

Even so, Yanzhou Cao Cao also came and went for several years, until he drove Lu Bu to Xuzhou to completely settle down. However, Cao Cao missed the best opportunity to develop and grow, and was always in the middle of survival, in a difficult situation, and struggling.

In addition, inadvertently, after Lu Bu fled to Xuzhou, he killed all the princes. Liu Bei, who had originally sprung up, was proud of the spring breeze and full of spirit, and was full of ambition to prepare for a big job. But at the critical moment, he was picked by Lu Bu, lost the foundation of Xuzhou, and fled in a hurry. What's more, Liu Bei's three brothers were chased and scattered, Zhang Fei was robbed and killed by Huan Fei in the territory of Sili, Guan Yu was nowhere to be found, and Liu Bei was still breathing and went into exile.

Today, Huainan Yuan Shu is on the verge of life and death, and Xuzhou Lu Bu is in a very critical position, which has become the last straw that crushed Yuan Shu.

Recalling this complicated past, Zhou Yu suddenly realized, the worry in his heart dissipated, and he suddenly became brighter, so he glanced at Jia Xu and laughed: "Hahaha??????"

?????????????????????????

Xuzhou, Xiapi City.

Quietly, Lu Bu has occupied Xuzhou for two years. In the past two years, the territory of Xuzhou was relatively calm, with only small bandits roaming, but no large-scale fighting.

In the troubled times, it is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains but there is no war, and the people live relatively stable and live and work in peace and contentment, which has to be said to be a miracle. The people of Xuzhou attributed this qiē to the state Mu Lu Bu, and it was he who sat in Xuzhou that made the princes of the towns dare not send troops to fight, at least not dare to move troops against Xuzhou.

Over time, the prestige of Lu Bu, the tiger of Bingzhou, gradually became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and many young and strong people came to vote for it, prompting the soldiers and horses under Lu Bu to grow stronger and stronger. Up to now, there are nearly 100,000 troops under Lu Bu's command, and the treasury is increasingly full, with sufficient money and food, complete baggage, strong soldiers and horses, and increasingly strong strength.

Therefore, when the princes of the Central Plains towns were fighting endlessly, Lu Bu was in the state pastoral mansion while holding the beauty and drinking himself, while enjoying the song and dance of the warbler, so he was not at ease. This kind of peaceful and stable life is really precious to Lu Bu, who has been fighting all year round, and he is intoxicated and happy. At the same time, in the past two years, Lu Buxin has accepted three concubines, one of whom is the daughter of Cao Bao, the general of Xiapi.

Cao Bao was originally the head of the Cao family in Xuzhou, and he was also a very prestigious general in the Xuzhou army.

Previously, when Liu Bei took Xuzhou, he relied on him a lot and repeatedly entrusted him with important tasks. As everyone knows, Cao Bao is a local family in Xuzhou after all, even if he is deeply grateful to Liu Bei for his weight and support, he will not follow Liu Bei with all his heart. Therefore, when Lu Bu led his troops to counterattack Xuzhou, Cao Bao saw that the situation was not good, and immediately opened the gate of Xiapi City and personally welcomed Lu Bu's army into the city??????
