Chapter 504 Guo Jia's Visit
Lv Bu stayed in Shouchun for a period of time. It was not until his people and horses fully took over Yuan Shu's territory that he gathered the generals, Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others to discuss the future itinerary.
"Now the matter in Yangzhou has been resolved. We should leave here and return to the capital. However, at present, Yuan Shao has launched an attack on Gongsun Zan for no reason. Now Gongsun Zan is in danger and asks for support from the court. You are all ministers of the humerus of the court. You take out a charter to jointly solve the court. Worry." With that, Lv Bu took out a volume of documents, but it was Gongsun Zan's letter of asking for help from the court.
The war between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao has a long history. However, Lv Bu has always ignored it, and even has a kind of thinking of fighting for each other and making profits. Everyone knows this. Liu Bei and Cao Cao naturally see all this clearly. Today, Lv Bu solved the problem of Yuan Shu and immediately mentioned the matter of Hebei. Obviously, he wanted to attack Yuan Shao, and also wanted to pull Cao Cao and Liu Bei, taking the opportunity to weaken the strength of Liu Bei and Cao Cao, so he made such a move. Although Lv Bu's hand was smart, he could not hide it from the people present, so everyone would He looked at Cao Cao and Liu Bei, waiting for their statement.
"The Prime Minister has many soldiers and generals, and the world is afraid to obey. As long as the Prime Minister suspends a letter and reconciles the two families of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, I believe that they will not dare not disove, and the war in Hebei will naturally be solved." After a while, Cao Cao stood up, nodded slightly to Lv Bu, and then said. Although Cao Cao had been imprisoned by Lv Bu at this time, the only power left in Cao Cao Cao's hand was Cao Cao's original strength. Without this power, Cao Cao would be nothing, so Cao Cao did not want to be fooled by Lv Bu, so he took the lead. Liu Bei on the other side was a little hesitant. Although Liu Bei's idea was not different from Cao Cao, even Liu Bei knew that even if he went to Hebei, it would not play much effect on the war in Hebei. However, Gongsun Zan helped Liu Bei a lot. At this time, when Gongsun Zan encountered a crisis, Liu Bei was not easy to say. Stand by and watch.
"Cao Gong has a good intention. I hope the Prime Minister can persuade the two of them to turn Gan Ge into jade." At this time, Liu Bei also got up and said in echo.
"Ha ha, you two really look up to Lv Bu, but it's a pity that I've tried it and didn't work." Hearing Lv Bu, he smiled and then said, "Now we have just calmed down the chaos of Yuan Shu. As Yuan Shu's brother, Yuan Shao's brother rebelled. As a brother, he not only did not repent, but also took the opportunity to provoke other princes to provoke. He really didn't pay attention to the court, so I think it is the most urgent thing to give Yuan Shao some police. Sue. Now we are in Shouchun, and it is not far from the Qingzhou occupied by Yuan Shao. I don't think it's as us. We send troops to Qingzhou and take Qingzhou first. In this way, we can contain Yuan Shao's troops, which can also be regarded as the relief of General Gongsun Zan. What do you think? When Lv Bu saw that Cao Cao and Liu Bei thought it was excused, he was too lazy to discuss with them and said directly.
"The Prime Minister is wise." As soon as Lv Bu said this, the general of Lv Bujun, who was present, quickly arched his hand and shouted in unison. In this case, it was naturally difficult for Cao Wei and Liu Bei to say anything against. More importantly, even if the two of them objected, there would listen to them.
"Since you have agreed, it's settled. I think the vanguard will be sent by Cao Gong and Liu Zhijun." Lv Bu didn't give Cao Cao and Liu Bei a chance to object at all, so he said directly that although his words were calm, there was no chance for them to bargain at all.
"Your Excellency, don't worry, Gongsun Zan has a great kindness to me. This time, Yuan Shao dealt with General Gongsun Zan just like me. I will do my best to defeat Yuan Shao and help the Prime Minister win Qingzhou." Cao Cao still wanted to procrastinate, but Liu Bei took the lead and only heard Liu Bei stand up and say.
As soon as Liu Bei's words came out, not only Cao Cao Cao was shocked, but also Lv Bu, who wanted to force Cao Cao and Liu Bei to agree to this matter, felt surprised. Things became a monster. Hearing that Liu Bei agreed so simply and neatly, Lv Bu couldn't help frowning. Anyway, Liu Bei should always struggle, although Lv Bu was very suspicious in his heart, but when he thought about it, there was no loophole in doing so. He detained Liu Bei and Cao Cao. Are you afraid that their soldiers and horses will turn back? With this thought, Lv Bu gradually felt at ease.
"With Liu Jijun's words, I am relieved. I believe that General Gongsun Zan will also remember Liu Zhijun when he knows about this matter." Lv Bu nodded to Liu Bei and said with approval, "I think Guan Yu is quite a general. This time, let Guan Yu be the main general of the left vanguard, and Zhang Fei will go to Qingzhou as the deputy general."
"The Prime Minister said this very well. I'll prepare it right away." Seeing that Lv Bu was not suspicious, Liu Bei said quickly. Then he left the hall and walked out.
"You help me look at Liu Bei. Don't let him out of our control." Looking at Liu Bei like this, Chen Gong beside him was also full of doubts. He quickly recruited a soldier beside him and ordered him. Obviously, he was afraid that Liu Bei would take the opportunity to escape from Qingzhou.
"Cao Gong, the left vanguard has been decided. I don't know what Cao Gong thinks of this right vanguard?" Seeing a few words, Liu Bei was already finished, and Lv Bu smiled. Sitting on your main seat, he picked up a bowl of tea. After taking a sip, please ask Cao Cao leisurely. If Cao Cao and Liu Bei are on the united front, Lv Bu may still have some scruples, but at this time, Liu Bei has been dealt with by Lv Bu, leaving only Cao Cao. Lv Bu is naturally not afraid of Cao Cao's disapproval.
"Xiahou Dun is brave and good at using soldiers, but he can be the responsibility of this vanguard." Cao Cao was silent for a while, and then gritted his teeth and said.
"Ha ha ha, although Xiahou Dun is brave, his wisdom seems to be a little insufficient. In this way, let Cao Ren be the commander-in-chief of the vanguard army on the right side, and let Xia Hou Dun and Cao Hong accompany him as deputy generals. The marching route will be arranged by Mr. Chen Gong." Lv Bu said to Cao Cao with a smile.
Originally, Lv Bu planned to let Guan Yu enter Qingzhou through Xuzhou, and let Cao Ren pass through Yanzhou and then enter Qingzhou. In this way, it can first ensure that Guan Yu and Cao Ren will not meet easily, which prevents the possibility of the two armies joining forces and fighting against Lv Bu. However, when Guan Yu's army arrives in Xuzhou, Lv Bu may not be true. It can be transferred, and Cao Renjun's entry into Yanzhou is more likely to bring turmoil to Yanzhou, so Lv Bu can only let Chen Gong design the march route for the two armies in order to prevent possible accidents. Of course, the reason why Lv Bu must force Cao Cao and Liu Bei to send troops to Qingzhou is a more important goal, that is, to take advantage of their soldiers and horses to enter Qingzhou, seize Xuzhou and Wancheng, and completely destroy the foundation of Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
"The Prime Minister is really thoughtful. I will transfer troops and generals, and I will definitely not let the Prime Minister down." After saying that, Cao Cao turned around and left. Obviously, he wanted to go back and think about whether there was any possibility of turning back today's events.
Watching Cao Cao leave, Chen Gong also sent someone to strengthen his control over Cao Cao, and then came to Lv Bu and asked, "What does the Prime Minister think?"
"It seems strange that the two of them agreed so quickly, but I don't think there is anything wrong with it." Lv Bu said with a slight gaze. Lv Bu has always had some doubts about Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
"It's not surprising that the Prime Minister has such doubts. It must be that these two people are outstanding. It can't be underestimated. I will definitely strengthen the control of the two." Chen Gong also nodded, that is, the same suspicion as Lv Bu.
"In fact, it's normal for them to have some other thoughts. Who can be willing to be caused by others like this? What's more, the most important thing for me is to control Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and annex Xuzhou and Wancheng at the same time. We have done this first step, and the second part will be reached soon. As for how much results can be achieved in Qingzhou, it is a later story, but no matter how, we will not suffer losses. Although I always feel that Cao Cao and Liu Bei will pick something out, judging from the current situation, there are indeed many benefits, which is enough.
It was the night. Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were drinking and talking happily in Liu Bei's mansion. They only heard Liu Bei picked up a bowl of wine and poured it down, and then said helplessly, "I think Liu Bei, is the Miao descendant of the Han Dynasty. Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, the army has been rising up to now, but it can occupy the land of a state. It is about to show its strength. Fu Han's room, reported to the country, Xia'an Liming, can't imagine that today, but it is forced by the situation. I have to bow my head like power. Is it true that I, Liu Bei, are not as good as Lv Bu? When Liu Bei made his debut, Lv Bu was just a master book who followed Ding Yuan. But now, although Liu Bei is the head of a state, Lv Bu has climbed to the high position of prime minister, and his sphere of influence has reached Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Sizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and half of the world. The territory has almost been controlled by Lv Bu. Although Liu Bei still has the idea of competing with Lv Bu, reason tells Liu Bei that his opportunity has become more and more slim.
"My brother is not the same. In those years, Dong Zhuo's harmony was strong, and in the end it was just a smoke. As a man of the Han Dynasty, my brother must have a chance to soar to the sky in the future." Guan Yu took up a bowl of wine in his hand and said with a drink.
"Brother, you don't have to care. I will take people to Lv Bu's mansion and kill him to relieve his worries." At this time, Zhang Fei threw the jar that had drunk all the wine to the side, patted his chest and said to Liu Bei.
"Oh, the third brother, don't say these nonsense." Hearing Zhang Fei's words, Liu Bei could only sigh and then said helplessly.
"Master, a gentleman came outside. He said that he wanted to see the master, and his subordinates had brought him." At this moment, Chen Deng slowly walked in and whispered in Liu Bei's ear. Behind Chen Deng, a figure was covered under a black cloak, looking at Liu Bei.
Liu Bei raised his eyes slightly. After vaguely seeing the face of the visitor through the hazy moonlight, he was shocked. Liu Bei had seen this person in Lv Bu's account earlier. This person was not someone else, but who had followed Cao Cao Cao and was highly valued by Cao Cao. Later, he somehow turned to him. Guo Jia of Lv Bu.
