Chapter 478 crusade against Yuan Shu
"Well, the reason why the big man has fallen and has come to this point is just because of the emergence of the second emperor of Hengling, such a mediocre and incompetent person. Since Liu has no longer been able to continue to lead the world, why should I be polite?" With that, Lv Bu turned around and glanced at the ministers around him. Although these ministers were shocked as soon as they met Lv Bu's eyes, they couldn't help shivering and lowered their heads.
"Lord, if you do this, I'm afraid that those ministers will not agree. It's better to guard against them in the future." As soon as he walked out of the palace, Xun Yu quickly came to Lv Bu and said.
"Now Yuan Shu has publicly claimed the throne, but have you seen other princes announce the conquest of Yuan Shu? Who don't want to be emperors? It's just that now that I stand here, the princes dare not make trouble. Now all the princes are looking at whether they can suppress Yuan Shu. If I can't do it, I'm afraid that all the princes will follow Yuan Shu one after another, and who really cares about the presence of the Han Dynasty. These ministers are just daydreaming. Lv Bu smiled on his face and said carelessly.
"Actually, my lord did this today, and I was relieved." After a while, Xun Yu looked at the sky and suddenly said thoughtfully.
"I know that you also have a deep affection for the Han Dynasty, and you don't hope to overthrow the Han Dynasty one day. Even if the Han Dynasty is just this superficial scenery, you hope to maintain it. In doing this, on the one hand, I want to tell you that I must be the emperor. On the other hand, although we still have a long way to go to the unification of the world, if I really come to that day, even if I don't want to be the emperor, I'm afraid that the soldiers who follow me will not agree, so before that, I must do it for them. Find the right place." Lv Bu looked at Xun Yu, then at the soldiers around him, and said lightly.
"Thank you, Ming Gong." Hearing Lv Bu say this, Xun Yu bowed Lv Bu deeply and said from the bottom of his heart. Unlike other generals who are loyal to Lv Bu, Xun Yu has ideals, and unfortunately, Xun Yu's ideal is to revive the Han Dynasty, and this ideal is obviously far from the first, but Lv Bu's decision today gives Xun Yu hope, although the future Han Dynasty is destined to be completely different from before.
"Ha ha, you and I know each other. What else can't be done well?" Seeing Xun Yu salute sincerely, Lv Bu smiled and suddenly made it clear in his heart that Xun Yu was Lv Bu's long history. Although Lv Bu was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty at this time, Lv Bu was born as a martial artist and was not good at government affairs, so the burden in the prime minister's mansion has been weighed on Xun Yu. In other words, although Lv Bu is now He was the actual helm of the Han Dynasty, but the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty could be said to be Xun Yu.
"Your Excellency, do we really not send troops to Shouchun Yuan Shu's claim to be the emperor?" After a while, Xun Yu asked again.
"Hey, don't say that we are using troops in Bingzhou at this time. Even if we don't use troops in Bingzhou, I don't want to fight with Yuan Shu before solving Cao Cao." When it came to this question, Lv Bu sighed and said with some embarrassment.
"Does the Prime Minister also think that Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor is a little strange?" Seeing Lv Bu's hesitation, Xun Yu asked tentatively.
"Yuan Shuzuo did not claim to be the emperor, but he was defeated by Cao Cao. After our army expanded to Yanzhou, he became the emperor. What do you think is his dependence?" Lv Bu asked Xun Yu with a slightly dark face.
"Isn't it? Did Cao Cao turn to Yuan Shu, so Yuan Shu had such confidence? After Lv Bu's reminder, Xun Yu suddenly understood the key.
"Yes, Cao Cao not only turned to Yuan Shu, but more importantly, Cao Cao also instigated Yuan Shu to be emperor. Because once Yuan Shu becomes emperor, we have to attack Yuan Shu. Once Yuan Shu can't support it, he will ask Cao Cao to go to Shouchun to rescue. At that time, Cao Cao can take the opportunity to station troops Yuan Shu, rise again, and even the prestige of wallpaper in Yanzhou will be stronger. At this time, Lv Bu said the speculation in his heart, which was obviously not expected by the ministers in the court, including Xun Yu.
"I didn't expect that Cao Cao actually took this step." Although Lv Bu's words were shocked by Xun Yu, when Lv Bu finished, Xun Yu still chose to believe it without hesitation. Although Lv Bu's words did not have any evidence, they were just speculation. However, Xun Yu understood that with Cao Cao's situation at this time, if this is not the case, there is no way to compete with Lv Bu. Moreover, Cao Cao is not alone, because Yuan Shu has a Wei Zhongdao who hates Lv Bu more than Cao Cao, which also makes Cao Cao's plan easier to realize.
"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister has an order." Yanzhou Chen Gong was dealing with official business, but Zhang Liao came in with Hua Xiong, holding a document in his hand and handing it to Chen Gong, but it was Lv Bu's letter.
"Yuan Shu became emperor, and the Prime Minister ordered us to send troops in Yanzhou to cooperate with Liu Bei in Xuzhou, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Sun Ce in Eastern Wu to fight against Yuan Shu together. What do the two generals think?" After Chen Gong opened the document and finished reading it, he was silent for a while before he stood up again and asked the two people.
"Ha ha, there is finally another war." For the upcoming war, Hua Xiong just smiled. Anyway, Hua Xiong, such as Tuntian, can't help, but it's better to go out to fight.
"This is an opportunity. The three places of Yincheng, Dong'a and Fan County have been controlled by Yuan Shu since Cao Cao completed it. This time, we just took the opportunity to take over and fully control Yanzhou. And there is no need to have a head-on conflict with Yuan Shu. After thinking for a moment, Zhang Liao said with a smile.
"General Zhang Liao is the same as I thought. Since Yuan Shu dares to claim himself emperor, he must have something to rely on. The Prime Minister has sent troops and horses to Bingzhou, so it is difficult for us to send troops to help us, so it is better to solve the immediate problems than to the expedition. It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that Yuan Shu's plan for the expedition will fail. Although the court has given orders to Sun Ce, Liu Bei and Liu Biao, since Lv Bu did not take a large-scale action, how could other princes find it boring to fight with Yuan Shu? Not to mention, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao helped him at this time.
"Big brother, there is an edict from the court, ordering us to send troops to fight against Yuan Shu. What should we do?" In the Xuzhou Assassin's Mansion, Guan Yu stood up and asked Liu Bei.
"Well, Lv Bu knows how to use it. The last time he sent us to attack Yuan Shu, he had already made us lose soldiers. This time let us fight Yuan Shu. Why didn't Lv Bu fight by himself?" Hearing Guan Yu's words, Zhang Fei said angrily.
"In any case, Lv Bu is also the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor is a great rebellion. As Han ministers, we can't sit idly by. Yunchang, go and rectify the soldiers and horses, and we will defeat the army. Liu Bei said after a slight calculation in his mind.
"Brother, Yuan Shu has a lot of soldiers and a lot of food, which is not easy to deal with. We might as well wait for Lv Bu's soldiers and horses to arrive before making plans." Guan Yu listened to Liu Bei's words and hesitated slightly.
"Hehe, second brother, you are wrong. If this expedition against Yuan Shu is Lv Bu taking the lead, then the people of the world will say that Lv Bu is defending the big man. Destroy the traitors. Now Lv Bu is using troops in Bingzhou. There are not many soldiers and horses that Yanzhou can send. It is the time for our three brothers to perform. What's more, Xuzhou is now looking around with strong enemies on all sides. If we want to expand our strength, we can only fight with Yuan Shao, Lv Bu and Yuan Shu. So who should we choose? If we can't take this opportunity to develop and grow, when Yuan Shao and Lv Bu come to their senses, Xuzhou can only become the meat in other people's mouths. Although this expedition against Yuan Shu was Lv Bu's strategy, Liu Bei saw the opportunity from it. Now Lv Bu has four states, and his soldiers and horses are even more powerful. Liu Bei deeply feels that it is too weak to fight against Lv Bu's own strength, and although Yuan Shu is strong, his generals are not very good. It's like a rich man holding Jinshan in his hand, but he is understaffed. How can he not let Liu Bei be moved?
"Zhang Zhao, the court sent someone to make me the governor of Huiji and let me send troops to fight against Yuan Shu. What do you think?" After receiving the edict from the imperial court, Sun Ce also found his counselor Zhang Zhao to ask.
"General, Lv Bu is competing with Yuan Shao for Bingzhou and is unable to go south. That's why he mobilized all the princes to send troops to deal with Yuan Shu. However, Yuan Shu has many soldiers and is not so easy to deal with. Therefore, I suggest that the general return to Lv Bu, that there are few soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River. When Lv Bu sent troops to fight against Yuan Shu, he will definitely lead the troops. " After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhao said persuasively.
"Lord Zhang's words are too conservative." Just as Zhang Zhao finished speaking, a voice came from behind him, and then a young and handsome figure came in, but it was Sun Ce's brother Zhou Yu.
"Zhou Yu, you're here, so to make a long story short, what do you think of this matter?" Seeing Zhou Yu come in, Sun Ce suddenly stood up and asked.
"General, Yuan Shu's claim to be the emperor is self-destructive. If the general ignores, he will only miss the opportunity." As soon as Zhou Yu opened his mouth, he said something completely different from Zhang Zhao.
"Zhou Yu, Yuan Shu's strength is strong, and the power of the Yuan family is even more staggered. Isn't it so easy to deal with? Don't talk nonsense." Seeing that Zhou Yu completely rejected his opinion as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Zhao quickly got up and objected.
"Ha ha, general, who has achieved great things since ancient times, who is a person in a corner of peace? Although the power of the Yuan family is huge, Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor has touched the public anger and will definitely not shrink for the people of the world. At this time, Lv Bu is using troops in Bingzhou and has no time to send troops to fight against Yuan Shu. It is the time when the general uses force. As long as the general occupies a place in the north of the river, he can support the war in the north of the Yangtze River with the materials of the south of the Yangtze River and achieve the king. The business also means that the day is just around the corner. Zhou Yu ignored Zhang Zhao's accusations, but then said to Sun Ce. This is what Sun Ce said. Although Jiang Dong is good, for Sun Ce, Jiang Dong is only his own place to settle down, but it can't satisfy his desire. According to Zhou Yu, the time to expand his strength to the north is in front of him. How can this not make Sun Ce moved?
