Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 408 Lu Bu's decision! (Thanks to [Fan] for the reward)

In August of the third year of Jian'an, Lu Bu took advantage of Yuan Tan's attack on Jinan, driving Yuan Tan's forces out of Qingzhou and back to Pingyuan County in Jizhou.

Yuan Shao's three sons and one nephew, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and Gao Gan, were appointed to be in charge of Qingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou and Bingzhou respectively.

Among them, Yuan Shang was able to control Jizhou, the headquarters of the Yuan family. Obviously, he was the most loved by Yuan Shao.

Secondly, Yuan Xi was in charge of the whole territory of Youzhou, then high-ranking cadres were in charge of half of Bingzhou, and finally Yuan Tan, the boss, was the worst. There was only Jinan Kingdom in Qingzhou and Pingyuan County in Jizhou.
As the boss, he is not as good as a nephew, let alone compared with two younger brothers.It's no wonder that after Yuan Shao's death, Yuan Tan would unite with Cao Cao to attack his two brothers, because Yuan Shao was too partial.

After driving Yuan Tan back to Jizhou, Lu Bu and Chen Gong began to wait and see the situation again.

Lu Bu was undoubtedly inclined to Cao Cao and Lu Yan; but Chen Gong was the representative of the family, and he had a grudge against Cao Cao, so he was more inclined to Yuan Shao.

This is also the biggest reason why Lu Bu's forces have not taken real action for a long time.

In Jinan Guojun's mansion, Lu Bu sat on the main seat, and his command and military were separated on both sides.

Chen Gong stood at the head of the scholars, followed by Wang Xiu, Liu Yixun and others.

The head of the military generals is Lu Lingqi, the Zhendong general who is now gaining fame, followed by the general Zang Ba who surrendered from Xuzhou, and the old generals Song Xian, Wei Xu and others.

The meeting hall was very quiet, and Chen Gong was the first to stand up and said to Lu Bu: "Marquis Wen, starting from May of this year, Yuan Shao conquered Baima, Yanjin, and Yangwu with the momentum of Mount Tai, and finally Chen Bingguandu.

Up to now, Yuan Shao has been confronting Cao Cao for almost four months.

The further back, the more unfavorable the situation is for Cao Cao. "

Lu Bu opened his half-closed eyes, and asked aloud, "What do you think, what should we do?"

Chen Gong paused for a moment, and then said: "Although I don't want to admit it, after Cao Yuan decides the winner, no matter who wins the final victory, we will be their next target."

Lu Lingqi glanced at Chen Gong, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't expect that Lu Bu took the lead: "But in my opinion, if we are willing to obey the order of the emperor, at least Cao Cao will not annex us."

Of course Chen Gong knew the source of Lu Bu's confidence, but there was no real relationship, after all, it was unreliable, right?

"Yuan Shao has an army of 40, and Cao Cao has only [-]. I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist." Among the civil servants, Liu Yixun also stood up and said.

At this time, Wei Xu stood up and retorted: "We just took advantage of our son, but now you are going to join his father with shame? You can afford to lose this person, but I can't afford to lose this person!"

"General Wei's words are wrong! Jinan Kingdom originally belonged to Qingzhou, and it is a reasonable move for Marquis Wen, who is the shepherd of Qingzhou, to take back the control of Jinan Kingdom!"

"Yeah, the general understands righteousness and will definitely understand."

Afterwards, more and more literati stood up and echoed, and some even directly stated their thoughts, "Wen Hou, sending charcoal in the snow is better than icing on the cake! If we send troops to help the general before Cao Cao is defeated, then Cao Cao will be defeated." In the end, maybe we can get a share of it for a lifetime!"

Lu Lingqi frowned more and more, she said anxiously: "If father helps Yuan attack Cao, what should I do?"

The generals under Lu Bu's command were more inclined to help Cao Cao, while the literati all turned to Yuan Shao.

In the meeting hall, civil and military officials argued with each other, making Lu Bu one head and two big.

When Lu Bu was having a headache because he couldn't make up his mind, he suddenly caught sight of his daughter Lu Lingqi, and thought, "After Lingqi came back from Chenliu, not only her martial arts, but also her cultural and military aspects have made great progress. Calm and measured, quite famous. Why don't you ask her for her opinion?"

Thinking of this, Lu Bu suddenly raised his left hand, and the meeting hall fell silent immediately.

"Lingqi, you have lived in Chenliu for more than a year. In terms of understanding of Cao Cao's power, you should surpass all of us." Lu Bu's voice was gentle yet majestic, and his question brought Lu Lingqi out of her anxious mood. Freed up.

Lu Lingqi let out a sigh of relief, and after sorting out her emotions, she went out and clasped her fists and said, "Go back to father, I think Cao Cao will win!"

"Oh! My eldest lady! This is an important military matter, and love between children cannot be tolerated!"

Lu Lingqi stared at the man coldly, and said, "Have you ever been to Chenliu? Have you met Lu Yan and Cao Cao?"

"No," said the man with little confidence. Perhaps because he was too weak and embarrassed, he immediately summoned up his momentum and asked, "If you dare to ask the eldest lady, so what if you have seen it?"

"If you had seen Chen Liu's granary like a dense forest, and seen the situation where the army and the people were united under Prime Minister Cao's rule, then you wouldn't be saying disgusting things here!"

"This, that..." The man felt that he had nothing to say, and retreated resentfully.

Lu Lingqi looked at Chen Gong again, and asked, "May I ask the military commander, if there was one person who started preparing for the current Guandu battle a few years ago, who do you think will have the greatest chance of winning in the end?"

With a serious face, Chen Gong replied, "How could anyone have predicted such a big war a few years ago?"

"But there are people who can do it." When Lu Lingqi said this, she suddenly showed a strange smile and said, "When I was in Chenliu, Zhao Zilong and Xiahou Ziheng once secretly revealed a secret to me."

"What secret? Why didn't you tell it earlier?" Lu Bu asked curiously.

"The main reason is that I'm afraid of hurting the self-esteem of my father and the military adviser." Lu Lingqi said with a half-smile.

"."

Chen Gong didn't mind, he even asked with a smile: "I've seen a lot of big wind and waves, Missy, you can talk about it!"

Now that Chen Gong said so, Lu Lingqi is no longer polite,

"Military division, do you remember the story of Lu Yan sending people to find the four generals? Do you remember the battle of Yingchuan between Lu Yan and Yuan Shu?"

"These two incidents have already been spread all over the world and become classics, so the old man will naturally remember them."

Lu Lingqi turned to look at Lu Bu, and suddenly grinned brightly, saying: "Actually, Lu Yan was looking for four generals to prepare to deal with his father, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and the troops he used when he fought Yuan Shu were actually Prepared for father."

Lu Bu widened his eyes and said, "You mean, I will attack Yanzhou even if Lu Yan arrives long ago???"

"That's right! Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan told me personally, and they have no reason to lie to me."

At this moment, whether it is a general or a civil servant, they all have incredible faces.

Even Lu Bu had the expression of listening to the Arabian Nights.

But if it was Lu Yan's arrangement, Lu Bu still had a little bit of willingness to believe it in his heart. After all, Lu Bu was more pleasing to the eye the more he saw Lu Yan.

However, Lu Bu sighed in his heart and said, "Zhang Liao, Gao Shun. I, Lu Bu, failed you."

Other than Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were the ones who could be taken care of by Lu Yan.

It's a pity that I was too young to realize the value and importance of these two people.
