Chapter 509 Xuzhou
Just as the war outside Fanyang City stopped, Lv Bu finally led the army to Qingzhou after sending two vanguard troops led by Guan Yu and Xiahou Dun.
"I heard that the Prime Minister sent Zhang Liao to lead troops to Wancheng, and the Prime Minister seemed to be a little anxious." Looking at the vast army around him, Guo Jia suddenly opened his mouth and tried to Lu Bu.
"It seems that my husband still can't let go of his feelings about the past. I really don't understand what Cao Cao has done to you and makes you so determined to him. Can't you face the reality and create peace and prosperity with me?" Hearing Guo Jia's words, Lv Bu understood that Guo Jia still couldn't let go of Cao Cao in his heart. Although this made Lv Bu admire Guo Jia more, he was also a little disappointed. After all, he and Guo Jia have been getting along with each other for a long time, but it is still difficult to get Guo Jia's approval and support, which makes Lv Bu sigh a little. Xi, does Guo Jia have to return to his heart after killing Cao Cao? Lv Bu couldn't help sighing.
"Guo Jia naturally understands the heart of the Prime Minister. It's just that the scholar died for his confidant. Guo Jia's lucky life, Cao Gong's love, has been satisfied. Please forgive me." Guo Jia also said with a sigh. In those years, Guo Jia was just a poor scholar. It was precisely because of Cao Cao that Guo Jia was able to emerge and make a difference. Guo Jia couldn't let go of this kindness and decided to repay Cao Cao Cao's kindness in his life. He could only ignore Lv Bu's kindness.
"Ha ha, my husband is really stubborn, but Lv Bu still wants to try. I won't give up unless I have to." Although Lv Bu's power of scribes is not weak now. Whether it is Jia Xu, Xun Yu or Chen Gong, they are all heavenly talents, but Lv Bu is still not satisfied. He hopes to get more talents, and talents like Guo Jia are obviously not available, so Lv Bu has been sparing no effort to bring Guo Jia around.
"Your Excellency, there is a war report from the front line." At this moment, Dian Wei came over with a scroll of paper in his hand and reported to Lv Bu.
"Oh, I don't know how the situation is on the front line?" Lv Bu turned around and asked Dian Wei.
"The situation on the front line is not ideal. Guan Yu and Xiahou Dun have not achieved anything." Dian Wei looked through the document and handed it to Lv Bu.
"It seems that these two generals are not very positive. They should be emotional." After Lv Bu took the document and looked at it for a moment, he said to Guo Jia next to him with a smile.
"Some emotions are naturally inevitable. It seems that the Battle of Qingzhou still needs the Prime Minister to do it himself." Seeing Lv Bu looking at him, Guo Jia opened his mouth to deal with it. In fact, Guo Jia's heart was like a mirror. This document was just used to coax Lv Bu. At this time, only part of Guan Yu and Xiahou Dun's army left in Qingzhou, and their army was ready to ambush Lv Bu halfway.
"I don't know when Mr. Guo Jia knew that I sent Zhang Liao to lead troops to Wancheng?" Lv Bu did not answer Guo Jia's words, but asked Guo Jia.
"This?" As soon as Guo Jia heard Lv Bu's words, he shouted in his heart, but in order to stabilize Lv Bu, after thinking a little, he replied to Lv Bu, "I just knew it."
"Well, since you already know about this, I'm afraid Cao Cao knows about it. Even if Xiahou Dun doesn't know about it, I'm afraid he will know it soon." Lv Bu said that he was calculating something with a frequent nod head, and suddenly asked Dian Wei beside him, "Where are we now?"
Dian Wei was confused by the conversation between the two. However, he immediately replied, "This is in Xuzhou, and Xiaopei is not far ahead. After crossing a river after Xiaopei, it will be the boundary of Qingzhou.
"Xiao Pei? So Xuzhou is not far away?" Hearing that Dian Wei talked about Xiao Pei, Lv Bu thought about it slightly and said to Dian Wei, "It is said that the whole army will march to Xuzhou. Let's rest in Xuzhou for a few days before attacking Qingzhou."
"This? Why did the Prime Minister suddenly change his mind? The army has been set out for many days. I'm afraid that the temporary change of the goal will disturb the morale of the three armies. Hearing that Lv Bu suddenly changed the march route, Guo Jia's face suddenly changed greatly. Originally, Guo Jia was shocked and discussed with Liu Bei Cao Cao to ambush Lv Bu on the way to Qingzhou. The location was Xiaopei. Just because Xiao Pei was close to Jiuli Mountain, it was easy to ambush soldiers, and he was at the junction of Xuzhou and Yanzhou. For Liu Bei Cao The allied forces of the three families of Cao and Yuan Shao said that they could attack, retreat and defend. Unexpectedly, Lv Bu would temporarily change the route and completely bypassed the ambush circle prepared by the three families for Lv Bu's army.
"Ha ha, hasn't Mr. Guo Jia always been unwilling to help me? Why are you so concerned about the affairs of our army now? Looking at Guo Jia's sad look, Lv Bu smiled and said.
Before departure, Chen Gong privately warned Lv Bu to be careful of Guo Jia. At that time, Lv Bu didn't care, but now it seems that it is a little strange at this time. It seems that this matter is not as simple as it seems, but Lv Bu doesn't care much, because Lv Bu has made up his mind to get rid of Cao Cao, and this place is just Well, I also chose Xuzhou.
"Your Excellency, why did the army suddenly change direction?" At this time, Liu Bei and Cao Cao came together. As soon as Fang came to Lv Bu, he asked Lv Bu. The two were ready to get out of Lv Bu's control during the melee. At this time, when they saw that things had changed, they hurried over to see what had happened.
"Well, I thought that Qingzhou could easily take down the two soldiers and horses related to Yu and Xiahou Dun, but I didn't think that both soldiers and horses were trapped in Qingzhou at this time. It seems that we need to take a long-term plan to attack Qingzhou. We might as well stay in Xuzhou for a few days. When there is a new strategy, it is not too late to attack Qingzhou." The two came forward, but Lv Bu sighed and handed the military newspaper to them and said.
The two took a look at the military newspaper and looked at each other. Liu Bei was even more depressed. Obviously, it was located at the junction of Xuzhou and Yanzhou. Lv Bu wanted to stop and think about strategy, because he should go to Yanzhou to station. At this time, he was going to Xuzhou. Obviously, he had no good intentions, but it was so high-sounding. It's just that although Liu Bei knows this, he can't say it.
I can only think of Lv Buwei bowing and said, "The two generals Guan Yu and Xiahou Dun's attack were frustrated, which shows that the battle in Qingzhou is difficult. I also asked the Prime Minister to go to Qingzhou quickly to solve the crisis of the two armies."
Listening to Liu Bei's words, Cao Cao also hurriedly said yes, as if he was in line. For the two of them, the most urgent task is to deceive Lv Bujun around Xiaopei's ambush circle. Only in this way can they defeat Lv Bu, and even attack Yanzhou and Yangzhou backhand, and expand their territory.
"Well, let's pass the order and let Xiahou Dun and Guan Yu lead the troops back to Xuzhou. Both of them are also rare generals. I don't want them to make any mistakes in Qingzhou. When Lv Bu saw that the two of them were playing with him, he didn't mind pretending to be confused, so he was talking nonsense to them.
At the same time, people are also moving outside Xiaopei City, and Lv Bujun's movement has also been discovered by everyone at this time.
"Grandma's Lv Bu is really cunning. Unexpectedly, at this time, he turned around and went in the direction of Xuzhou, making us live in vain." Xiahou Dun first said furiously.
"Now that the situation has changed, I'm afraid that our original plan can no longer be implemented, and we need to find another way." At this time, Zhang He stood up and said. Now Yan Liangwenchou has been sent to Fan Yang by Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao really can't draw many people. He can only let Zhang He come to Qingzhou to support and help Liu Bei and Cao Cao.
"Well, what else do you want to think about at this time? I think we will catch up now to kill Lv Bu directly and save my brother. This is the best strategy." Seeing that everyone still wanted to discuss, Zhang Fei jumped up and said. Although Zhang Fei is rude, he is also a careful person. He understands that Lv Bu's intention at this time is to occupy Xuzhou. If he can't save Liu Bei before Lv Bu occupies Xuzhou, after Lv Bu occupies Xuzhou, even if he saves Liu Bei, he can only be exiled to his hometown and be beaten back to his original form and wanders again.
"What the second brother said is right. Our brother is going to rescue the eldest brother." As soon as Guan Yu heard this, he also nodded and said that there were few opinions to support Zhang Fei.
"Someone also went there together." Seeing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were about to rescue Liu Bei, Xiahou Dun couldn't help it. The long knife in his hand shook and he wanted to follow them together.
"Wait a minute, three. If you go to save Cao Gong and Xuan De Gong like this, you are afraid that you will not be able to save people. On the contrary, it will hurt the lives of the two adults. Why don't you pretend to go there?" Seeing that the three were about to leave, Zhang He stood up and blocked the three and said.
So the three of them disguised themselves and, under the leadership of Zhang He, quickly rectified the soldiers and horses thinking about Lu Bu's army chasing the soul Sal.
At this time, a team of business travelers outside Xuzhou City was driving mules and horses to Xuzhou City. At first, a Mr. Accountant was very civilized. This person was not someone else but Chen Gong.
"Hang, which caravan are you from? Do you have any documents?" Seeing such a large-scale caravan coming, a soldier hurried forward, stopped the caravan and shouted.
"Master Jun, please make it convenient. We are from Yangzhou. There is a lot of war there and we can't do business anymore. We are all merchants in Yangzhou and make a special trip to Mi's family." Seeing the officers and soldiers blocking the way, a young man hurried forward and explained that he stuffed a piece of silver into the sergeant's hand.
Because Lv Bu encourages business development, the use of copper money as a trading currency can no longer meet the needs of trading, so the Heqi Chamber of Commerce took the lead in using silver trading. Due to the great influence of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce, it has an excellent reputation in the business world, and the silver two were quickly accepted by merchants in the Central Plains.
"Well, hehe, I really know the rules. Let's go over." The sergeant weighed the silver in his hand and was very happy in his heart. Even after filial piety to the official, his income would be very rich. He hurriedly ran back and sat down with several soldiers guarding the city and began to share the stolen goods.
Liu Bei used troops in Yangzhou and has mobilized many soldiers and horses in Xuzhou. This time, in order to ambu Lv Bu, Guan Yu transferred a lot of people from Xuzhou, so that Xuzhou was empty and the elites were transferred. Naturally, it was not good to stay, but this gave Chen Gong an excellent opportunity to seize Xuzhou.
