Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 521
In the fourth year of Jian'an (199 A.D.), Yuan Shao of Wancheng died of illness in November when heavy snow fell.

Who would have thought that there were two heroes in Jingzhou, and even many people had foreseen that they would fight for Jingzhou. They did not expect that under the attack of Liu Bian's army in Jiangdong, they would lose one after another, and finally one by one died of illness on their beds.

Since then, Jingzhou's power has collapsed and it has been completely summarized under the rule of Liu Bian, and Wancheng has been occupied by General Jiangdong.

As for Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, the civil and martial arts of Jingzhou either belonged to the mountains or turned to other princes. After all, most of the two were born under the command of aristocratic families, and they were incompatible with Jiangdong's rule.

Yecheng!

Hundreds of officials from Prince Wu's Mansion gathered together, looking at Lu Bu with a gloomy face one by one conscientiously.

"Liu Bian took down Jingzhou so easily!"

Regarding the situation in Jingzhou, all the civil and martial arts under his command were full of dignity. Guo Jia was no longer as unrestrained as before. Instead, he bowed his hands solemnly uncharacteristically and said in a solemn voice: "My lord, Liu Bian has completely taken Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang of Yizhou has ordered his generals to Take precautions, Yuan Shu is actively preparing for battle!"

"Your Majesty, whether Liu Bian's next step is to attack Liu Zhang in Shuzhong or Yuan Shu in Shouchun, they are all enemies of our army!"

Jia Xu also came out this time and said solemnly, who would have thought that Liu Bian in Jiangdong would be turned upside down, everyone in the world thinks that this person is just a tiger in a cage, after occupying Jingzhou, it has been proved that this person is a tiger out of the cage.

"Your Majesty, you should secretly order Yuan Shu, Liu Zhang and Li Yuan to join forces to resist Liu Bian." Tian Feng pointed to the point.

Under the discussion of all the officials, they all clearly saw the threat of Liu Bian, who was about to become the enemy of their king.

But Lu Bu looked at the arguing civil and military with an ugly expression, and finally shook his head and sighed: "Liu Bian's climate is over, the princes of the world are secretly dirty, I hope Yuan Shu can hold on."

After saying this, Lu Bu waved his hands and shouted in a deep voice, "How is our army going?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the grain and grass collected from various places have been escorted to Ye, Shangdang, and Qingzhou."

"My lord, the soldiers and horses from all walks of life are ready, once the ice and snow melt, they can go south!"

Civil servants reported on food, grass and military equipment under their rule, while generals reported on the preparations of soldiers and horses in various places.

"Okay!" After hearing this, Lu Bu yelled a good word, looked at the civil and military inside the hall with pride, and suddenly laughed: "I have millions of soldiers under my command, what a mere prince!"

"Great King Tianwei! Great King Tianwei~"

All the officials praised for a while, and when the court dispersed, only those few confidantes were left behind.

Di Renjie even showed a look of rejoicing, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "My lord, luckily the deal with Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang from Yizhou is over."

After hearing this, Lu Bu showed a satisfied smile, yes, finally there is good news.

"Yuan Shu formed two cavalry this time, which are controlled by generals Ji Ling and Sun Ce respectively, and Yuan Chonghuan, a family member, is practicing soldiers and horses day and night."

After hearing Guo Jia's report on the movement of Yuan Shu's forces, Lu Bu couldn't help showing a curious look. Yuan Chonghuan didn't expect that Yuan Shu's foundation had also strengthened.

Seeing Lu Bu's curious expression, Guo Jia bowed his hands respectfully and prepared to introduce the generals under Yuan Shu's command.

"After Yuan Shao died of illness in Wancheng, his generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou led their troops to join him. With the addition of generals Ji Ling, Sun Ce, Yuan Chonghuan, Wu Sangui and other generals, Qi Wang Yuan Shu may not be able to compete with Liu Bian."

Good guy, this Yuan Shu is also good, there are actually two generals from the Ming Dynasty, Lu Bu was also surprised, and then smiled.

At this time, Jia Xu hesitated for a while, then sighed slightly and said, "My lord, Yuan Shao's heir, Yuan Xi, led his family soldiers to join him, and the other two sons joined other princes."

"The eldest sons Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang went to Shuzhong and Yangzhou respectively."

After saying these words, Jia Xu respectfully kept silent, Chen Gong and others also kept silent and waited for their lord's decision, only Tian Feng hesitated.

Finally, after remembering Yuan Shao's past favors, Tian Feng gritted his teeth and sighed with a somewhat ugly expression: "My lord, the Yuan family in Hebei has dispersed with Yuan Shao in the wind."

Waving his hand to stop Tian Feng's request, Lu Bu looked at the crowd indifferently and finally took a deep look at Tian Feng, "Although Gu kills, it is only for foreigners. Yuan Shao has gone, and Gu will not attack his heirs yet."

Although Lu Bu's tone was a bit indifferent, Tian Feng was excited and hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks after hearing this, thinking in his heart that it was because the king was doing this for his sake.

Seeing Tian Feng's grateful expression, Guo Jia chuckled for a while and finally waved his hands and said with a laugh: "Master, the current situation in the world can only wait for Liu Bian's next step, and our focus is Cao Cao in the Central Plains!"

When talking about Cao Cao, Guo Jia's face was full of solemnity, and Jia Xu said slowly at this time: "My lord, you must guard against Li Tang's thieves, and Pujindu should set up heavy troops to guard against them."

Pujin Ferry, and the important town guarding Pujin Ferry is Puban, which is the springboard for Bingzhou to enter Guanzhong, and also the bridgehead for Guanzhong to enter Bingzhou.

When this place was in chaos in Chang'an, Lu Bu ordered the army to take this place at that time. Therefore, Jia Xu only said one sentence about the upcoming war, but it hit the nail on the head.

After everyone heard this position, they all showed a dignified look. Everyone knew that Li Tang would definitely make a move this time when he went south to the Central Plains.

Because Puban is in Lu Bu's hands, Li Tang will be unstable for a day. When Lu Bu sends troops, Li Tang will definitely send troops to take Puban.

Whoever owns Pu Ban will have the upper hand, and Di Renjie, who usually smiles, lowers his head and secretly looks at this unattractive scribe Jia Xu.

His vision was so sharp that he grasped the key points at once. On the frontal battlefield, before the battle started, no one could come up with a decisive strategy, but it was this person who saw the hidden crisis.

After hearing this, Lu Bu turned solemnly and turned around to carefully examine the topographic map hanging behind his back. When his fingers hit Puban heavily, everyone was shocked, especially the eyes that looked at Jia Xu, each one was full of dignity.

But Jia Xu lowered his head with a flat look, as if he didn't have any intention of taking credit.

"Your Majesty, you can secretly send General Xu Rong to lead the troops to guard!"

At this time, after Guo Jia recovered from the shock, there was a sinister light in his eyes, and he said to Lu Bu with a smirk.

The others were still dazed, looking at each other in blank dismay. After all, Xu Rong was still guarding in Liaodong, so why did he suddenly mention this person.

But Guo Jia, who is in charge of the school affairs office, knows very well that Xu Rong is very smart, or that the master is also afraid of raising a Liaodong tiger, so he secretly dispatched Xu Rong back to Yecheng, preparing for the next year's war and ordering Xu Rong to accompany the army.

As for after the war, Wei Xu has already established enough prestige in Liaodong, and when Xu Rong goes again, there will be no situation where one family becomes bigger.
