Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

"That's too much!

The old thief Cao Cao and the young thief Cao Ang, father and son, have bullied me too much!"

Xuzhou, Xiapi.

As the thief who was punished by the edict, Lu Bu was undoubtedly the first to receive the news. After all, since nearly a month ago, he failed to attack Xudu, but was chased by Cao Ang like a lost dog, losing more than half of his troops. After that, Lu Bu had been paying attention to Xu Du's movements.

He was afraid that Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son would suddenly come to beat him, which can be said to be a panic.

At this moment, after learning about the edict issued by Xu Du, Lu Bu felt a little flustered and extremely worried. Angry!

Even though Lu Bu’s method of obtaining Xuzhou was not very legitimate, he is the actual master of Xuzhou.

Before that, Lu Bu tried to ask Cao Cao for the title of Xuzhou Shepherd several times in order to justify his claim.

But Cao Cao always suppressed him. No.

Until now, how could Lu Bu not be angry when he learned that Cao Ang, a junior who had just debuted, could lead Xuzhou as a pastor and took away the title that should have belonged to him?

"I repeatedly asked the capital to grant Xuzhou the title of shepherd, but Cao Cao refused to grant it.

But it turned out that he wanted to leave it to his own son!

What a treacherous traitor who pretends to be a public servant for personal gain!"

"Cao Cao, the old thief! Traitor! Evil thief! National traitor!"

Lu Bu groaned angrily and kept yelling and cursing. On the side, Chen Gong sighed helplessly.

What time has it been? People are coming to attack Xuzhou.

The focus of your service is not to think about how to retreat from the enemy. City, to protect Xuzhou, but he is so worried about the title of Xuzhou Mu.

"My lord, Cao Cao and his son Cao Ang have defeated four princes in a row recently, their reputation is growing day by day, and they have obtained a lot of food, grass, military supplies and surrendered troops.

Now Cao Cao and his son have more than 150,000 troops and horses under their command.

Even if most of the troops are divided to defend the four sides, 50,000 to 60,000 horses can be easily mobilized to attack Xuzhou.

After our army's new defeat, the Lord's army only has fifteen thousand soldiers.

If Cao Cao and his son attack, they will be trapped in a tight siege.

Although Chen Deng, the governor of Guangling County, and Xiao Jian, the prime minister of Langya State, were both ministers under the rule of Xuzhou, they were attached to their lord on the surface, but not necessarily in their hearts.

Moreover, I observe that since Chen Deng returned from Xudu, he has been disobeying his lord and did not dare to come to see him.

Therefore, except for the soldiers under the lord's account, the other counties and counties in Xuzhou cannot be trusted.

After the lord's defeat, those people may feel dissatisfied when they see that the lord is weak.

Therefore, the lord should focus on how to resist Cao Cao and his son from taking Xuzhou."

Chen Gong looked serious and advised Lu Bu.

After listening to Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu calmed down a little and said with approval:"What Gongtai said is absolutely true!

If Cao's army comes to attack, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist with my existing troops.

How about asking Yuan Shao for help?

That day our army was defeated and went north to Baimajin. I was assisted by soldiers and horses from Liyang in Jizhou, which enabled me to return to Xuzhou.

I must ask Yuan Shao for help and he will definitely get help."

When Lu Bu said this, he looked at Chen Gong thinking he had a trick, as if you were going to praise me in public.

Unexpectedly, Chen Gong shook his head and said:"My lord, what you said is wrong.

That Yuan Shaose was fierce, timid, and always scheming.

Seeing small gains and forgetting one's righteousness, doing big things but cherishing one's life.

With Yuan Shao's temperament, his brother Yuan Shu was defeated by Cao Ang in Chen County, and he had no intention of avenging his brother.

What's more, the lord?"

"The reason why Yuan Shao was helped by the Jizhou Army that day was firstly because Tian Feng was in Liyang at that time and he was a wise man.

Second, the Jizhou Army in Liyang at that time only used its momentum to confront Cao Cao and his son and saved us. It did not suffer any losses in the fight itself."

"But things are different now. If the Cao family comes to attack Xuzhou, they will not give up until Xuzhou is captured.

If Yuan Shao sends troops to help, his troops will definitely fight with Cao's army.

Yuan Shao would definitely not engage in such a loss-making business.

When the lord asked him for help, Yuan Shao would instead sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

At most, it was just a bluff by the troops stationed in Liyang Tun to contain Cao Cao a little, but it did not help the overall situation."

Seeing that Chen Gong rejected the method of asking Yuan Shao for help, Lu Bu's heart sank slightly, and continued:"What about asking Yuan Shu for help?

Although Yuan Shu was defeated in the battle of Chenjun, he only lost 30,000 troops and was not injured.

With this great feud, Yuan Shu and Cao's father and son were already on the same page.

If I ask for help and bring up the marriage again and marry my daughter to Huainan, Yuan Shu will definitely send troops to help, right?"

Chen Gong nodded slightly:"Yuan Shu was originally angry because Chen County was captured by Cao Ang. Later, he was defeated in Chen County. One general died and the other surrendered, and he lost 30,000 troops.

Hearing that Yuan Shu was in the Shouchun Hall about this incident, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

If the lord asks for help and asks him to attack Cao Ang together in Xuzhou and then marry his daughter to him, Yuan Shu will definitely agree."

At this point, Chen Gong frowned slightly and continued:"It's just that although Yuan Shu has sufficient troops, he doesn't have any elite soldiers or generals.

If only Yuan Shu's family had troops and horses to come to the rescue, they might not be able to defeat Cao's army.

Therefore, it is best for the lord to contact Liu Biao and ask him to send troops to attack Xudu.

Liu Biao was a hero of the time and had long been aware of Cao Ang's danger, so he secretly joined forces with Yuan Shu to attack Cao Ang.

It's a pity that in the battle of Kunyang, Cai Mao was incompetent and fell into the scheme of the Cao family and his son, which led to the failure of the battle.

After this defeat, Liu Biao will be even more wary of Cao Ang and will definitely not sit back and watch Cao Ang continue to grow."

"If he could take advantage of Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son to attack the lord, and then send troops to attack Xudu and cut off the Cao family's retreat, Liu Biao would definitely be very willing."

"In addition, the Taishan bandits Kou Zangba, Sun Guan, Chang Xin, Wu Dun, Yin Li and others who were entrenched east of Xuzhou also had some troops under their command.

Although it was a ragtag group of people, there were still a hundred thousand in total.

Among them, Zang Ba and Chang En are also heroic figures with some abilities.

The lord can send an envoy to help him with the promise of food, grass and generous profits.

If this can be done, the Lord, together with Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Zang Ba and other princes and heroes, will be far better than Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son.

In one battle, the Cao family and his son can be wiped out, thus eliminating serious trouble!"

Chen Gong's plan fell in Lu Bu's ears, and Lu Bu's eyes immediately lit up, and he couldn't help but feel full of joy:"This plan in Gongtai is very clever!

Then act according to Gongtai's plan!

This time, I must let that little thief Cao Ang know how powerful I, Lu Bu, the Nine-Yuan Tiger is, in order to avenge that day!"

At this moment, Lu Bu started to tremble again.

He seemed to have seen the scene where Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son were destroyed in Xuzhou by him, together with several princes...

So, Lu Bu and Chen Gong quickly took action and sent out several Lu envoys went to Huainan, Jingzhou, Mount Tai and other places to contact the princes and heroes.

Of course, Yuan Shao also sent people there, but they were destined to have little effect.

Shouchun.

Because it was the closest to Xiapi, Yuan Shu was the first to get Lu Bu. At the same time, he received a letter asking for help and getting married.

At about the same time, he learned the news from Xu Du’s edict that Cao Ang would lead Xuzhou Mu with chariots and cavalry generals, and was about to conquer Lu Bu.

At this moment, Yuan Shu’s face was still a little pale. That was after vomiting blood in anger. After all , anger hurts the liver.

But Yuan Shu's pale face showed a hint of morbid joy:"Haha, Lu Bu, a slave with three surnames, wanted to marry Cao Cao that day and kidnapped my envoy Han Yin to Xudu..

The result was a rejection.

Even more so, while I and Liu Biao's army were restraining the Cao family and his son, they wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack Xudu, using me as a stepping stone.

Now it's good. This family slave with three surnames has lost most of the troops in Yuzhou.

He will be attacked by Cao Ang soon.

It was Lu Bu's turn to bear my anger that day!"

Yuan Shu smiled happily, even mixed with two bloodshot coughs from time to time.

Lu Bu's fate allowed Yuan Shu to transfer his depression and get some vents of schadenfreude.

"His Majesty!

Although Lu Bu is hateful, if he is destroyed by Cao Cao and his son, it will be even more detrimental to His Majesty!

I think that your majesty should agree to Lu Bu's request for marriage and support Lu Bu.

Otherwise, if Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son were allowed to destroy Lu Bu and occupy Xuzhou.

Then the power of father and son will connect the east and the west, become stronger and stronger, and the whole force will be on the top of His Majesty's head.

At that time, Cao Jun can send troops from Yuzhou and Xuzhou to attack Shouchun. His Majesty will be under great pressure, and he may even be the next Lu Bu.……"

Yan Xiang stood up again. This old man was very stubborn, and he had the intention of keeping his loyal words in his ears as long as Yuan Shu didn't hack him to death.

This time, Yuan Shu was not angry because of Yan Xiang's words.

Having suffered a great loss from Cao Ang, he undoubtedly hated Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son more than he hated Lu Bu.

To be honest, Cao Ang's performance of defeating his 100,000-strong army also made Yuan Shu feel a little jealous and even afraid deep down in his heart...

Therefore, Yuan Shu also knew that Cao Ang was a greater threat than Lu Bu, and secretly wanted to support Lu Bu.

What's more, Lu Bu is willing to get married again, and is even willing to marry his daughter in the near future, which also satisfies Yuan Shu's face.

So, Yuan Shu pretended to hesitate for a while, and then nodded and said:"Mr. Yan is right. Although I am angry with Lu Bu for what he did before, I can't just sit back and watch Cao Ang and his son destroy Lu Bu and win the state. (Read the Baoshuang novel, just read it. Go to Feilu Novel Network!)

I should be the one to get the land of Xuzhou!"

"I drafted a decree and agreed to Lu Bu's request for help, but I would not send troops until Lu Bu married his daughter to Shouchun."

After issuing the decree, Yuan Shu smiled complacently, with a sinister look on his face:"Since Lu Bu also wants to ask for help from Liu Biao, Taishan Zang Ba and others, let's make an appointment with several of them to work together to destroy Cao.

Then naturally I won't be stupid enough to take the lead.

Let Lu Bu, Liu Biao, Zang Ba and others fight with the Cao family father and son for a while, each of them will be injured and the snipe and the clam will fight.

With the fisherman behind me, I destroyed Cao Ang. At the same time, while Lu Bu was losing both sides, I simply occupied Xuzhou!"

"When I get Xuzhou, I can take advantage of the situation to advance into Yuzhou and Yanzhou.

By that time, I will also cross the four states, and can go east to destroy Sun Ce, the white-eyed wolf, and go west to attack Jingzhou Liu Biao, who has been greatly weakened.

There are thirteen states in the world, and I will own most of them!

Even my brother Yuan Shao, who was born as a concubine, will still be under me even though he has four states now!"

"One day, I will personally lead the Sixth Army, march to Hebei, and march on Jizhou.

Let Yuan Shao know that a bastard is a bastard, after all, he is just my slave!"

At this moment, Yuan Shu's eyes were bright and full of pride.

He seemed to be very proud of his strategy!

Not to mention, after Yuan Shu suffered a loss, his mind seemed to be more enlightened.

His plan , it sounds really serious.

If it is done properly, it is very feasible.

Even the counselors such as Yan Xiang and Yang Hong couldn't help but nod in approval at this moment. In this world of great strife, the big fish eats the small fish.

Spring and Autumn Period In that most benevolent and righteous era, there was still a false way to destroy Guo, let alone this troubled world of intrigues? []

Yan Xiang suggested that Yuan Shu save Lu Bu, but also because of the desire to die, not because he really didn't want Lu Bu to perish.

If he could... After destroying Cao Ang and Cao Cao, they took advantage of the opportunity to destroy Lu Bu. Naturally, Yan Xiang and others would not object. They even felt that their Majesty Zhong seemed to be awakened and would behave like a wise king.……

……

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

Because it is far away from Xuzhou, Liu Biao has not yet received Lu Bu's request for help.

But they have already learned about Xu Du’s edict against Lu Bu.

"Cao Cao then transferred the chariot and cavalry generals he also commanded to his son Cao Ang, and appointed Cao Ang as the shepherd of Xuzhou.

This is a sure win for Xuzhou.……"

Liu Biao narrowed his eyes slightly, and a look of solemnity appeared on his face:"For the safety of Jingzhou, how can I let the Cao family and his son have their way!"

After saying that, Liu Biao had already made a decision:"Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, you two lead a navy of fifty thousand, The army marched out from Xiangshui outside Xiangyang City, went north along the Tuishui River, and stationed in Wancheng, making a move to attack Yingchuan.

Huang She, the governor of Zhangling County, was ordered to lead 50,000 troops to attack Cao Cao's Yang'an."

"I will personally lead Wenpin, Huo Jun, Wei Yan, Huang Zhong and other Jingzhou generals, lead an 80,000-strong army, and provide support in the center to march towards Wuyin.

Together with the other two groups of soldiers and horses, they advanced hand in hand to contain Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son."

"In addition, he sent envoys to Yuan Shu in Shouchun and Yuan Shao in Jizhou to inform them of their interests and asked them to jointly attack Cao Ang and his son.

After this is accomplished, Yuan Shao can take Yanzhou and Yuan Shu can take Yuzhou.

All I want is Yingchuan County!"

Liu Biao looked at the latest map of the situation of the princes in the world, gave some pointers on it, and ordered. 097 From this series of performances, it can be seen that Liu Biao is calm, decisive and heroic. After identifying Cao Ang as a big threat After that, Liu Biao did not look forward and backward like brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but directly ordered three groups of 180,000 troops to march to the southwest of Yuzhou to put pressure on the Cao family and his son.

Of course, Liu Biao did not want to let his troops directly fight The main force of the Cao family was fighting, but the courage to take the initiative to attack immediately was beyond the reach of the Yuan brothers. Secondly

, after Liu Biao decided on the strategy of uniting with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, he was able to decisively propose that Yanzhou could be given to Yuan Shao , Yuzhou can be given to Yuan Shu, and he can send troops by himself, and only needs one Yingchuan.

In this way, the majority of the profits will be given to the Yuan brothers.

With the Yuan brothers' temperament of forgetting their loyalty for small gains, Liu Biao is sure that they He should not refuse.

Even if someone wants to fight for the fisherman's profit, under the temptation of such huge interests as Yanzhou and Yuzhou, he will send troops to some extent.

Then, in addition, Lu Bu also participated in saving himself in Xuzhou Among them, it can be said that several princes can kill the Cao family and his son with their full strength!

As long as Cao Cao and Cao Ang's father and son are eradicated, which are the most threatening enemies in Liu Biao's view, then even if there is only one Yingchuan County for the time being, Liu Biao I also feel that I can only make a profit but not a loss.

Besides, after the Cao family and his son are really eliminated, how will the results be divided? Isn't it based on their own strength and means?

Who will really abide by the agreement before the war?

……

Various news about Xu Du, Liu Biao and Lu Bu soon reached here.

In Sikong Mansion, Cao Cao sat on the main seat, Cao Ang sat beside him, and on his left and right were Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan and other advisors and generals under the Cao family.

Needless to say, the lineup of counselors among them is considered to be luxurious among all the princes in the world, not inferior to Yuan Shao's men.

What's more, a few days ago, Zhang Xiu's Jia Xu surrendered, and Jia Xu, the most poisonous warrior in the Three Kingdoms, also joined the Cao family's advisers.

As for the general lineup, it is even more prosperous.

Not to mention Cao Ang's own bravery and that of Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, etc. who were guarding outside. Just the generals and fierce generals under the tent at this moment include Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, Dian Wei, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, Xu Chu, Li Cunxiao, Wang Yanzhang, etc.

If you add Zhang Xiu, the spear king of the north, and Hu Che'er, the brave general under Zhang Xiu, it will be even more powerful.

It can be said that if they were not in a place of four battles, just such a lineup could directly overwhelm a prince.

But precisely because we are in a place of four wars, we have to be restricted in what we want to do.

Especially after Cao Ang's stunning performance made the princes from all over the world fear him!

For example, at this moment, Lu Bu is asking for help from everywhere, and Yuan Shu of Huainan and Zang Ba of Taishan have already agreed to help Lu Bu.

Even before Liu Biao from Jingzhou communicated with Lu Bu, he sent three groups of 180,000 troops to march into the southwest of Yuzhou.

The situation this time seems to be more dangerous than it was more than a month ago.

Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son have become stronger, but the enemy's counterattack has also become stronger!

However, in the face of such a situation, while Cao Cao and everyone else looked a little depressed and worried, Cao Ang looked indifferent.

I have the feeling that all the princes in the world are like those who are trying to sell their heads.……
