Chapter 572 Conspiracy in Hanzhong

"This?" Hearing such an arrangement by Lv Bu, Gongsun Xu was obviously a little hesitant, but he was also a little helpless. Although his Gongsun family is also surnamed Wang, the Gongsun family is undoubtedly the most defeated among the kings. There is no territory or soldiers, so he can only rely on people's shelter. After a moment of silence, Gongsun Xuzhong is ready to rise. He said respectfully to Lv Bu, "It's up to the prince to make everything."

"Don't worry, as long as you do a good job for me, I won't treat you badly." Seeing Gongsun Xu's lost expression, Lv Bu couldn't help turning to Gongsun Xu and encouraging him.

"Your Majesty, Gongsun Xu is exactly what we can use. If we think that Gongsun Zan attacks Youzhou in the name of revenge, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. I don't know why the prince is unwilling to support Gongsun Xu?" After returning to the mansion, Cheng Yu asked puzzledly.

"Ha ha, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, who do you value more?" Lv Bu did not directly answer Cheng Yu's question, but asked an unrelated question.

"Yuan Tan has been in Yuan Shao's army for many years. He is deeply loved by the army and has a lot of prestige in the army. If Yuan Tan is in charge of Hebei, it will be more or less a threat to us. On the contrary, Yuan Xijiu is in Yecheng, and he is still young. He can only talk about military and political affairs. I think it is more beneficial for us to let Yuan Xi inherit the title of King Yuan Shaoxin. Hearing Lv Bu ask about his views on all things in Hebei, Cheng Yu pondered slightly and said the countermeasures he had already thought of.

"I also think so. Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan compete. Yuan Xi is definitely not the enemy. At this time, if we can send the title of King Xindu, I believe that Yuan Xi will trust us. At that time, Yuan Tan will attack. Once Yuan Xi can't support it, he is likely to return to our army to make a request. The two are that we will completely solve Yuan. Home, the opportunity to calm down Hebei. Lv Bu narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a confident look.

"It's just the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi. Although there is continuous friction, the two sides obviously have restraint and are unwilling to fight too much, so as not to be taken advantage of by us. I'm afraid that this opportunity is difficult to find." After listening to Lv Bu's words, Cheng Yu nodded, but said with some embarrassment. Zhen Hu must have gone to Hebei for a long time. The purpose is to provoke Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi to let go of the fight for the sake of land and reputation. However, from the current situation, it is unsatisfactory. Although Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi have continuous friction, they have not reached the point of hurting their muscles and bones, which is not conducive to Lv Bu's Northern Expedition. .

"Ha ha, haven't I already released the wind, saying that I will go to Xiliang with General Ma Chao to preside over the funeral for Ma Teng, the king of Xiliang? All you have to do is seize this opportunity. To provoke the war between Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, as long as they fight together, the land of Hebei is our territory. Lv Bu just smiled at Cheng Yu's worry.

"It turned out that the lord had already figured out the countermeasures. Such a small one knew how to do it. The small one rushed to Ye City on the same day and was fully prepared." Hearing what Lv Bu said, Cheng Yu Mao suddenly opened up and suddenly became happy. When Lv Bu said that he would follow Ma Chao to Xiliang and reschedule the funeral for Ma Chao, the king of Xiliang, Cheng Yu thought that the attack on Hebei would be withdrawn because of this, but he didn't think that Lv Bu had already considered these things, which was just a part of the war.

"Isn't the prince going to send troops to the Northern Expedition in person?" After Cheng Yu left, Xun Yu hesitated a little, and then asked. It must be that Lv Bu led the troops in person in the past, and his soldiers and horses have never pretended to be with others. Since Lv Bu is going to Xiliang this time, he can't participate in the Northern Expedition. In order to show his respect for Ma Teng, the king of Xiliang, and consolidate the relationship with Ma Chao, Lv Bu seems to be unable to return to the Hebei battlefield halfway and make The action of attacking east and west makes Xun Yu a little uneasy. At any time, the military power must be a very ** topic.

"Ha ha, sir, I'm too worried. After the Northern Expedition, I'm ready to hand over the position of Prime Minister, and my subordinates have also become a climate. It's time for them to perform well. What's more, Yuan Shao is dead and Qingzhou has surrendered. Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi's two children are left to others to deal with. I'm going to let Zhang He and Cheng Yu be responsible for the war in Jizhou, and let Gao Shun lead the Bingzhou army to attack Youzhou. You will mediate and preside over the overall situation in Luoyang. What do you think of such an arrangement? For Xun Yu's worry, Lv Bu just smiled and then said. Xun Yu has followed Lv Bu for many years and has made many contributions to Lv Bu's peace of the world. It can be said that Lv Bu's Zhang Liang is also Lv Bu's candidate for prime minister. This time is just an opportunity. Lv Bu wants to test the ability of Xun Yu and Gao Shun and others. Whether he can do everything well when he is away, and at the same time for the future official position. The reform is paving the way.

"This, the prince loves so much that I'm afraid it's difficult to repay even if he is crushed. I will do my best not to let the prince down. Hearing the meaning of Lv Bu's words, Xun Yu quickly knelt on the ground and wanted Lv Bu to promise. Although Xun Yu has always been deeply trusted by Lv Bu, he has always presided over government affairs and is responsible for the supply of grain, grass and ordnance of the army, but he has never been imprisoned by soldiers and horses. This time, it is said that Xun Yu has mediated from it. It seems that there is no difference between Xun Yu, Gao Shun and Zhang He, but this is a great test of people's ability. Li, Gao Shun's hard work is high. Lv Bu has always trusted him. Zhang He is a surrendered general from Yuan Shao. It is not difficult to let these two people cooperate in Lv Bu's established strategy. Just tell them that this is what Lv Bu means. But now that Lv Bu is going to Xiliang, it is impossible to send orders from thousands of miles away, and Ye Cheng, Luo The distance between Yang and Jinyang is also not close. How the three work together to achieve Lv Bu's established strategic goals is also an extreme test of people's ability.

The next morning, the banners outside Luoyang City were hunting. Two teams carrying yellow war flags waited early outside Luoyang City. Although the flags of the two men and horses were yellow, there was an obvious difference when they were carefully distinguished. The two men and horses were none other than Lv Bu's eight flags, directly under Lv Bu. The Zhenghuang flag and the people and horses inlaid with the yellow flag on the three flags, while the people and horses of the Zhengbai flag directly under Lv Bu's hands were left in Luoyang by Lv Bu in order to defend the capital.

"Regent, let's go." Seeing Lv Bu and the majestic soldiers and horses behind him, and Ma Yunlu, who was weak but smiling in the carriage next to him, Ma Chao's mood was also much more relaxed. He wanted to return to Xiliang quickly in order to comfort his father's spirit in heaven so that he could rest.

"Regent, take care all the way." Seeing that the team was about to leave, Xun Yu led all the officials to say goodbye to Lv Bu. Yanran had the momentum of a prime minister.

"You all go. When I am away, you must do your duty and do your own things well." Lv Bu also waved his hand majestically at this time, and then turned around and walked with Ma Chao to the front row of the team.

"Let's go." With Lv Bu's order, more than 20,000 soldiers walked west at a neat pace, making the people around them feel spectacular and already have the momentum of the emperor's patrol.

At the same time, Zhang Liao, who was in Wancheng, sat in a chair and looked at the distance, obviously thinking about something.

"Is the general hurting the alliance between Liu Bei and Xiahou Dun? I don't think it's necessary for the general to do this. It's better for me to lead the troops to Xinye, pick Liu Bei's nest, and let him get out of here. As soon as Hua Xiong entered the door, he saw Zhang Liao's soul, so he took it for granted that Zhang Liao was worried about Xinye's matter, so he said.

"What's the use of earning money when Xinye is not a place of bullets? Thinking of me, Zhang Liao, it has been many times since I came to Wancheng, but over the years, I have only been in the empty Wancheng and have not made a big contribution. You should know that Gao Shun is now the governor of Bingzhou. If the Yuan family in Hebei Province dies, I don't know how much credit Gao Shun will make, but I can only stay in Wancheng and be a small. The little Taishou." After listening to Hua Xiong's words, Zhang Liao sighed and said. This is also the only way. Nowadays, Gao Shun wants soldiers and people. Lv Bu's strategic focus is all on Hebei. Of course, all kinds of resources are endless. Although Zhang Liao is also Lv Bu's direct line and the leader of the red flag, Lv Bu's strategic focus must not be in the south, so that Zhang Liao has nothing here. The war is even more idle and panicked.

"In fact, has the general ever thought about developing to Hanzhong? The prince once mentioned that he hopes that the general can develop in the direction of Hanzhong. If the general can win Hanzhong, it will naturally be a great achievement." At this time, Pang Tong came in from the outside with a smile and said as he walked.

"Liu Biao in Jingzhou has 200,000 soldiers, and Liu Bei and Xia Hou Dun are there. It is indeed a hard bone. I have also thought about developing towards peace and China. Zhang Lu must only rely on Wudou rice to teach talent to stay in Hanzhong, and he is not strong militarily. It's just that if I attack Hanzhong, I'm afraid that Liu Bei will sneak up behind. If I lose Wancheng at that time, I'm afraid I'll lose a handful of rice instead of stealing chickens. Zhang Liao looked up at Pang Tong who came in and felt that Pang Tong and he thought of being together, but the number of troops must be limited, and he could not fight on the two fronts at the same time. Once he began to attack Hanzhong, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no loss on the side of Wancheng, and it was very likely to be attacked by Liu Bei.

"Ha ha, it's not that there's no way." Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Pang Tong laughed.

"Since you have a good strategy, why don't you talk about it in detail?" Seeing that Pang Unification's deputy was confident, Zhang Liao suddenly became interested and quickly stood up and asked Pang Tong.
