Chapter 467 Advance to Taihang Mountain
"You two have performed very well in this battle. In the future, you will stay in Sizhou and help Jia Xu deal with the affairs of Sizhou." After dealing with the affairs of Li Dian Lejin and Yu Jin, Lv Bu came to Pang De and Xu Huang and said.
At this time, although Cao Cao Cao was defeated, the matter of Sizhou was not over. Lv Bu had promised Guo Jia to let Cao Cao go. Naturally, it was not easy to break his promise. However, Lv Bu did not deal with Cao Cao in person, which did not mean that Sizhou could not chase Cao Cao. At this time, he left Xu Huang and Pang De in Sizhou. On the one hand, it can strengthen the strength of Sizhou. On the other hand, it was just right for the two to chase and kill Cao Cao, who was defeated and escaped. In this way, it depends on Cao Cao's luck.
After the war, Lv Bu led his troops to Hongnong, and Jia Xu quickly came to greet Lv Bu with a crowd.
"I heard that the general promised Guo Jia that he would not chase and kill Cao Cao and let Cao Cao go. I don't know what's going on?" As soon as Jia Xu saw Lv Bu, he hurried over and asked Lv Bu in a low voice.
"Haha, does Mr. Jia Xu have a different view on this matter?" Lv Bu took a look at Guo Jia, who followed him, and said with a smile.
"Cao Cao is the hero of the world. This big defeat is a loss. The main justice should take the opportunity to completely eliminate Cao Cao and eliminate the future trouble forever. The lord now let Cao Cao go for the sake of others, and has no intention of letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Please think twice. Seeing that Lv Bu didn't seem to care about letting Cao Cao leave Sizhou, Guo Jiashan took a step forward to persuade Lv Bu.
"Ha ha" In the face of Jia Xu's painstaking persuasion, Lv Bu smiled mysteriously and then said, "Do you know why Cao Cao lost so miserably this time?"
Seeing Lv Bu say this, Jia Xu was a little puzzled and said, "Please make it clear."
"When Cao Cao invited the princes of the world to fight against Dong Zhuo together, I knew that Cao Cao was a very human being, and he would become a great man in the future, and he already had the intention to kill Cao Cao. But when Xun Yu came out to protect Cao Cao, I saw that Cao Cao was released in front of Xun Yu, because I knew that Cao Cao, who lost Xun Yu, had lost an arm. Without Xun Yu's arm, Cao Cao must not be my opponent. Now Mr. Guo Jia, Cao Cao's most important counselor, is already in our Lv Bu army. Cao Cao is already a tiger without teeth. It's only a matter of time before he is defeated. Why should I bother for a dying person? Lv Bu said this in a loud voice. Not only Jia Xu in front of him, but also the generals around him had heard Lv Bu's words and cast surprised eyes one after another. None of these people expected that Cao Cao's defeat today had something to do with Lv Bu's subjugation of Xun Yu many years ago, and Lv Bu actually started from when. Deal with Cao Cao.
"Ming Gong, I'm a little uncomfortable, so I'll leave first." Seeing Lv Bu's complacent appearance and hearing Lv Bu's words, Guo Jia felt an indescribable feeling in his heart and said goodbye to Lv Bu.
"Come on, send Mr. Guo Jia down to have a rest." Hearing that Guo Jia was uncomfortable, Lv Bu quickly sent someone to send Guo Jia to rest. He said to Guo Jia with concern, "Sir, just have a good rest. I will ask people to find the best doctor."
"Thank you for your concern." After saying that, Guo Jia turned around and left. At this time, Guo Jia's mood was extremely complicated and even a little upset. If what Lv Bu said was true, then even if Cao Cao escaped this time, I'm afraid it would be difficult to turn over in the future.
"Master, do you want me to secretly send someone to kill Cao Cao?" Watching Guo Jia leave, Jia Xu already knew Lv Bu's attitude towards Guo Jia, just like Xun Yu in those years. He had to pull Guo Jia into his own camp. However, although Lv Bu promised to let Cao Cao live, it did not mean that the territory occupied by Cao Cao in Sizhou did not need to be taken back. When he took back the territory, If you secretly send people to chase and kill Cao Cao, you can also do it without knowing it.
"No, Cao Cao is not a simple character. If it hadn't been for you and me, it would have been impossible to kill Cao Cao. What's more, Cao Cao is not the only enemy. Hearing Jia Xu's question, Lv Bu's face calmed down and he was complacent. In fact, Lv Bu pretended not to care about Cao Cao Cao. Only Lv Bu knew how thrilling it was in this battle with Cao Cao, and Lv Bu knew better than anyone else that Cao Cao was his strong enemy, but Today's situation made Lv Bu have to let go of the war with Cao Cao.
"Is there any change in Hebei?" Hearing what Lv Bu said, Jia Xu also quickly smelled the smell of gunpowder and looked to the north.
"Since Ma Teng killed Shangdang Taishu Zhang Yang and annexed his followers, he has been secretly dispatching people. Now I don't know what Ma Teng has done, but according to time, Ma Teng should also make a move. In addition, in the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in Jizhou, Yuan Shao has also won a decisive victory. In the next step, it is unknown whether Yuan Shao will go south or continue to attack Gongsun Zan, but we should also start to prepare. Lv Bu said with a gloomy face.
"So that's it. Ma Teng and Yuan Shao are indeed strong opponents. But I think the general seems to be ready. Hearing Lv Bu's words, Jia Xu seemed to hear something from Lv Bu's words and looked at Lv Bu with a smile.
"Oh, sir is really talented. Then you might as well talk about what preparations have I made?" Lv Bu turned around and looked at Jia Xu and asked with great interest.
"I heard that the lord once went to Mount Tai in person and surrendered the yellow scarf of Mount Tai. Nowadays, there are millions of yellow scarves hidden in Taihang Mountain. In the past, when Zhang Yan was there, these yellow scarves were Zhang Yan as the general. Now these yellow scarves are scattered and independent. If the master sends the yellow scarf of Mount Tai to Taihang Mountain, he can control the yellow scarf near Taihang Mountain in less than a few years. With this power, the lord Unintentionally inserting a nail in Hebei, even if Yuan Shao and Ma Teng want to deal with leading troops south, they have to consider the safety of Bingzhou and Jizhou. Moreover, Taihang Mountain is thousands of miles away, which can be attacked and defended. Even if they want to eliminate the yellow scarf of Taihang Mountain, it is impossible to do. Jia Xu thought for a while and talked about it.
"Hahaha, my husband is worthy of what the ghost said and thought, which is exactly what I want. It's just that although Taishan Guanhai is famous among the yellow scarves, the yellow scarves are always just a mob, and a general needs to be sent to go, so that these yellow scarves of Taihang Mountain can really be used by me. Who do you think is the most suitable to send them? Lv Bu is very familiar with the loose management of the Yellow Turban Army, and he knows that such loose management is impossible to train any powerful team, so Lv Bu wants to send a general and Guan Hai to go together. In this way, Taihang Mountain can become a real fortress, and even provide excellent soldiers for Lv Bu. Under the words.
"I feel that General Gao Shun has been in the army for a long time and is very good at training, which is just right for this matter. The most important thing is that with the status of General Gao Shun in our army, as long as General Gaoshun waves his arms in Taihang Mountain, the big and small yellow scarves of Taihang Mountain will definitely respond one after another. Jia Xu said after thinking about it slightly.
"I'm afraid that once Gao Shun goes to Taihang Mountain, Ma Teng and Yuan Shao will immediately know the intention of my army. At that time, they will definitely send troops to destroy the yellow scarf of Taihang Mountain, and will not let the power of Taihang Mountain slowly grow." Lv Bu said worried that Gao Shun's position in Lv Bu's army must be too high. Once Gao Shun appeared in Taihang Mountain, Yuan Shao and Ma Teng would know that Lv Bu wanted to install a nail in Taihang Mountain, and a fierce battle would be inevitable.
"Ha ha, isn't this just right? As long as Ma Teng and Yuan Shao focus on Taihang Mountain, then Yanzhou and Sizhou can get time to rest and recuperate." Unlike Lv Bu's concern about the situation in Taihang Mountain, Jia Xu looked calm. When Jia Xu thought about it, such a disaster could not be better.
"Yes, this is an opportunity to exchange Yanzhou and Sizhou for rest and recuperation. That's it. It was rumored that Guan Hai led the people of the headquarters to cross the Yellow River to Taihang Mountain on the same day. It is said that Gao Shun selected 10,000 elite soldiers to enter Taihang Mountain with Guan Hai. It is said that Zhang Xiu in Hanoi will fully cooperate with Gao Shun. Medicine and food will be given to soldiers. I will build Taihang Mountain into a fortress in Hebei, so that Yuan Shao and Ma Teng will be restless day and night. Lv Bu finally made up his mind. Compared with being worried that he would be attacked by others, Lv Bu liked the taste of attacking others more. What's more, no matter how tragic Taihang Mountain was, the battlefield must be in Taihang Mountain, which was much more beneficial to Lv Bu than setting the battlefield in Yanzhou or Sizhou.
Since Lv Bu led his troops into Sizhou, it has been more than a year since Lv Bu's army went on a foreign expedition. During this year, Lv Bu's army transferred to Sizhou and Yanzhou, and it has been trapped. It's also time to take a break. After arranging the matter of advancing into Taihang Mountain, Lv Bu was finally relieved and could relax.
"Lord, should General Zhang Liao and General Hua Xiong also be transferred back?" Seeing that Lv Bu seemed to have forgotten Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong, who were far away in Lushan, Jia Xu hurried forward to remind Lv Bu.
"Ah, haha, yes, it's time for them to have a good rest. Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong were ordered to go to Yanzhou to be stationed. Although there is Chen Gong in Yanzhou, Chen Gong must be a civil official. Although he has a plan, he can't go to the battlefield. With Hua Xiong and Zhang Liao, Lv Bu can rest assured about Yanzhou.
"Report, Chang'an sent an urgent report." Just as Lv Bu had just arranged everything, a soldier suddenly rushed in and reported to Lv Bu.
Lv Bu quickly got up and asked, only then did he know that Ma Teng had gathered 150,000 troops to the city of Chang'an and was attacking Chang'an City. Now Xun Yu has guarded Chang'an City, so he sent someone to report to Lv Bu, hoping that Lv Bu would quickly send reinforcements to relieve the siege of Chang'an.
