Chapter 277 Jingzhou Assassin Liu Biao
Chapter 277
At this moment, one person and one horse came forward, but Lv Bu recognized that it was Zhang Ji, who was responsible for protecting Dong Zhuo, and a group of soldiers and horses behind Zhang Ji chased him, but it was Bao Xin and Bao Tao who led the troops to chase him.
"What's going on? Is there something wrong with the Prime Minister? Looking at Zhang Ji's awkward escape, Li Su was shocked and suddenly said whether it was possible for everyone to say what they thought of.
"That's not going to happen." Looking at Zhang Ji in front of him, Hua Xiong also said doubtfully.
"Don't worry, everyone. Just go up and have a look." Lv Bu stretched out his hand to stop everyone's speculation. Now he didn't get the exact news, and what he said was superfluous.
"What's going on? How did you make it like this?" Seeing Zhang Ji rushing over, Hua Xiong couldn't help asking.
"I chased Bao Xin all the way, but I didn't expect to meet his brother on the way. I was defeated by two people. Fortunately, I met you and saved me from danger. Seeing that Zhang Ji said excitedly, it was obvious that he was also chased by the Bao Xin brothers.
"Aren't you protecting the Prime Minister? How is the Prime Minister now? Seeing that Zhang Ji didn't say the point, Lv Bu couldn't help saying.
"This? I think the Prime Minister should have arrived in Xingyang. Zhang Ji said doubtfully.
"So it is." After listening to Zhang Ji's words, everyone finally understood that they were over-minded.
At the moment when Zhang Ji and everyone met, the Bao Xin brothers behind also saw Lv Bu and others. They stopped in shock and dared not move forward again.
"Brother, look at that man. Isn't that Hua Xiong?" As soon as he saw Hua Xiong in front of him, Bao Tao was uncomfortable first. Hua Xiong's image to him was so profound that Bao Tao recognized Hua Xiong at a glance.
"Hua Xiong is nothing. Have you seen the man riding a red horse? It's Lv Bu over there. It's his life to meet Lv Bu. Let's retreat." With that, Bao Xin did not say hello, and directly took Bao Tao to escape.
"General Lv Bu, the Bao Xin brothers are going to escape. Why don't we chase them and kill these two people? I'm embarrassed to chase them." Seeing that the Bao Xin brothers were going to escape, Zhang Ji couldn't help saying that he wanted to ask Lv Bu and others to shame themselves.
"Brother Bao Xin is just a clown. Let them go. As for your hatred, it is the right way to avenge them when you have the opportunity in the future." Looking at Zhang Ji and Lv Bu, who was a little anxious, he said faintly that he was not very interested in killing Bao Xin's brother Lv Bu. Lv Bu was thinking about Dong Zhuo's situation at this time. If Dong Zhuo died, Lv Bu would have another plan. Thinking of this, Lv Bu said to the generals, "The generals will listen to the order and follow me to Xingyang." After saying that, Lv Bu went straight to Xingyang.
At the same time, the war outside Chen Liucheng is also coming to an end.
"How is Cao Cao's situation now?" Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao in front of him and asked.
"Lord, although Dong Zhuojun is fierce this time, their troops do not have any advantage. Even if they have captured the surrounding cities, as long as Chen Liu is still in our hands, victory can only belong to us." Cao Cao said confidently.
"Oh? How to say this? Do you have any other good news? Looking at the smile on Cao Cao's face, Yuan Shao asked.
"The alliance leader said yes. We just received the news that Zhongmu City has been attacked. In this way, Dong Zhuo's army, which attacked our city, has fallen into the encirclement of our army. I believe it will not be long before it will be completely defeated. It's just that now that Dong Zhuo has escaped from Zhongmou, we should allocate all the way to attack and kill Dong Zhuo. As long as Dong Zhuo dies, there is hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty. Cao Cao said, and at the same time, he asked Yuan Shao to send troops to attack and kill Dong Zhuo.
"Although Dong Zhuo was defeated, the hundred-footed insect died and did not stiffen. I'm afraid it would not be cheap to send troops in this way. In my opinion, it's better to gather a group of princes to discuss this matter in the long-term. Yuan Shao was obviously not optimistic about Cao Cao's suggestion that he wanted to immediately organize troops to pursue Dong Zhuo.
"Mr. Yuan, at this time, Dong Zhuo's new defeat is the time when people are panicked. Our army can take advantage of the victory to pursue, just expand the results of the battle and eliminate Dong Zhuo's power. If Yuan Gong loses this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to destroy Dong Zhuo again." Cao Cao tried his way to persuade him again.
"Oh, Meng De, you also know that although I am the leader of the allied forces of the princes, at this time, the princes have just experienced a big war and suffered heavy losses. At this time, they have to summon the elite power of the princes. I'm afraid no one will agree." Yuan Shao sighed and obviously did not support Cao Cao's plan.
"You, how can you kill Dong Zhuo and Zhongxing Dahan like you? Since you don't want to send troops to kill Dong Zhuo, I, Cao Cao, risked my life and took someone to chase him. The Cao family has been favored by the emperor for generations. Today, let me do my best for the world of the Han Dynasty. With that, Cao Cao shook the big man and turned his head away.
"Ha ha ha, Cao Cao's temper has really not changed at all." As soon as Cao Cao left, a man came out and said to Yuan Shao with a smile that this person was none other than Cao Cao's childhood, and he had been following Yuan Shao's Xu You.
"Yes, Cao Cao is still the same Cao Cao before. Didn't he see that the Han Dynasty was about to die. No matter how hard he tried, he could not be saved?" In the direction of Cao Cao's departure, Yuan Shao said lightly.
"Congratulations to Yuan Gong, this defeat of Dong Zhuo. In this way, Yuan Gong's power is at the top of the sky, and people in the world can only look up to Yuan Gong's prestige." With that, Xu You said congratulations to Yuan Shao.
"Ha ha, this matter has come to an end. Next, we should also use the position of the leader of the alliance to make some benefits for us." Yuan Shao turned his eyes and said faintly.
"Lord, there is one thing I want to ask the ally. Yuan Shu's article came from Yuan Shu, saying that Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, blocked the army from attacking Wancheng and had been killed by the striker Sun Jian. At this time, the position of assassin of Jingzhou was vacant, and he wanted to ask the lord to assign someone to take over. With that, Xu You took out a volume of documents and said to Yuan Shao.
"What? Sun Jian killed Wang Rui? This Sun Jian is just a small Taishou who killed the assassin of Jingzhou without authorization. Does he really think it is lawless? Suddenly hearing the news, Yuan Shao said in surprise.
"Master, don't worry, there are secrets in it. As far as my subordinates know, it was not only Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, who was killed this time, but also Zhang Zi, the governor of Nanyang. It's just that Yuan Shu only talked about Wang Rui, not Zhang Zi, which seemed to be a little strange. Xu You said as a reminder.
"Nanyang? I know this. My brother has been coveted by Nanyang. This time, he finally seized the opportunity. Yuan Shao said lightly, but he immediately woke up and continued, "No, it is impossible for Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zi to have any conflict with Sun Jian. Is it Yuan Shu who instigated him?" Yuan Shao suddenly felt that it was smooth when he thought about it, and he couldn't help frowning.
"What the lord said is that this is also what my subordinates are worried about. Originally, Yuan Shu's strength was not weak, but now if he is allowed to annex Nanyang and then enter Jingzhou, I'm afraid that our strength will not be able to compete with it at that time." Xu You reminded him without any worries.
"Your worries are very reasonable, but who else can compete with Yuan Shu except Sun Jian now? Our power is far away in Jizhou, but we can't reach the affairs of Yuzhou and Jingzhou, and Sun Jian doesn't seem to be able to resist. Yuan Shao also knew about the last time that Dong Zhuo named Sun Jian the governor of Yuzhou, but although Sun Jian took the imperial edict, he did not dare to really compete with Yuan Shu.
"Ha ha, didn't the lord Yuan Shu give us a good opportunity this time?" Looking at the documents in his hand, Xu You suddenly smiled and said.
"Haha, if you have any ideas, just say it. Although we can't reach this Jingzhou, we can't take advantage of Yuan Shu. Yuan Shao looked at Xu You on his chest and said with a smile.
"The lord can remember that there was a man named Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng. This man is a royal family. He has been talented and famous since he was a child. He is also one of the eight emperors in the world and is well-known in the world. If the lord sends this person to Jingzhou, he will definitely be supported by the Jingzhou scholars. As his royal family, he believes that it will take long to rectify Jingzhou. Even if Yuan Shu is greedy for Jingzhou, he can only look at the ocean and sigh, and there is no way to start. With that, Xu You recommended it to Yuan Shao.
"If this person can replace Wang Rui and sit in Jingzhou, it will be enough to deter the place. It's just that this person is a royal family and arrogant. I'm afraid he won't use it for me and will become a future trouble in the future. Although Yuan Shao felt that Liu Biao had become the assassin of Jingzhou and could stop Yuan Shu, he was also afraid that it would be difficult to control after Liu Biao was strong.
"Ha ha, the lord is too worried. Although Liu Biao is a member of the royal family, he is also a person who knows how to advance and retreat. Now the world is in chaos, even if it is the emperor of yesterday, it will be precarious. What's more, a royal family without power. Now the lord has asked Liu Biao to become a prince, and he refuses it. Besides, Jingzhou is far away from Jizhou. As long as Liu Biao can prevent Yuan Shu from entering Jingzhou, in the future, the lord only needs to go to the north, and then lead the northern elites to the south with the momentum of Mount Tai. At this time, the princes in the south still fall without looking forward to the wind. I'm afraid that Yuan Shu will take Yuzhou first and then Jingzhou, and get half of the big man's country, so it's difficult to clean up. Xu You persuaded again.
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you. Let Liu Biao go to Jingzhou to take over as the assassin of Jingzhou. Without hesitation, Yuan Shao issued an edict in the name of the leader of the allied forces of the princes, allowing Liu Biao to take over as the governor of Jingzhou.
Just as the war on Chen Liu's side has just come to an end, the war has also begun in Wancheng, thousands of miles away.
"General, Yuan Shu was not benevolent and unjust. He annexed Zhang Zi and Wang Rui, but it was not good for the general at all. Does the general still want to attack Wancheng and work for Yuan Shu?" Seeing that Sun Jian had come to attack Wancheng, Huang Gai said depressedly.
