Lu Bu's Sims

Chapter 234 Attacking Xuzhou Again
Xuchang.

After welcoming back the emperor, Cao Cao has never been idle. The emperor's palace, including the diet and daily life of all the officials, needs to be properly arranged.

After a full month, this came to an end.

"My lord, I have been selected for the Chang'an imperial examination. The first place in the martial arts examination is a man named Zhao Yun, who is not well-known. The first place in the literary examination is Guo Jia, a son of a poor family in Yingchuan County."

Cao Cao listened to the report from the people below, and couldn't help saying with emotion: "No matter what else is happening to Lu Bu, just because he dares to reuse the selection system of Cai Daru's imperial examination is enough to show his mind."

"Cai Daru, the number one Confucianist in the world, this title is really not wrong."

Cao Cao was full of appreciation and even admiration for Cai Yong's various behaviors, especially the imperial examination system.

"My lord, we don't know about Zhao Yun, but Guo Jia!"

Among the crowd, only Xi Zhicai became serious when he heard the name, and he stepped out and said in a low voice, "Guo Jia is a great talent."

Cao Cao, who let out a slight gasp, was also full of curiosity, that a mere unknown person could make his advisers who rely on him pay so much attention.

"Zhicai, do you know Guo Jia?"

Faced with Cao Cao's question, Xi Zhicai also sighed with a wry smile, "Although Guo Jia in Yingchuan came from a poor family, he is quick-witted, and his plans are as swift as clouds and flowing water. He deserves to be called a ghost."

"This person is my best friend. When I came to seek refuge with the lord, Guo Jia had already gone to Jizhou to join Yuan Shao. Later, because he couldn't reuse it, he stayed at home. I thought I would recommend it to the lord in the future."

When he said this, Xi Zhicai shook his head regretfully and sighed, "I didn't expect Feng Xiao to defect to Lu Bu."

Hearing this, Cao Cao also had a look of deep regret on his face, "A person who can achieve success and praise him so much must be extraordinary, but it's a pity that time is fate."

At this time, Cao Cao showed even more pride, and said arrogantly: "So what if he, Guo Jia, has the talent of a ghost? I also have talents under my tent."

Facing Cao Cao's praise, Xi Zhicai laughed modestly. Since ancient times, he has always been the first in literature and the second in martial arts. He said that the other party is talented and so on, but to show his modesty. The literati have the virtue of modesty on their lips, but there is a sense of arrogance in their bones.

"Haha, then Yuan Benchu ​​must have underestimated Guo Jia's family background. Now that this person is regarded as a guest by Lu Bu, wouldn't he be slapped in the face after hearing about it? Haha~"

Cao Cao burst out laughing at the thought of this, he knows Yuan Shao's virtues better than anyone else.

"My lord, the emperor is already in Xuchang, now righteousness is in hand, let's take the next step!"

Lv Bu captured Luoyang, Yuan Shao made another victory in Youzhou, but Cao Cao was trapped in one place, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but said to Cao Cao in a deep voice.

And Cao Cao looked around at the civil and military generals after hearing this, and said in a deep voice: "Last year my father was killed in Xuzhou, and everyone was forcing me to retreat. They didn't want to see Cao Mengde become bigger, but today is different!"

When he said this, Cao Cao boldly pointed in the direction of Luoyang and shouted: "The invincible Lu Bu is here! This little tiger is here!"

"Jingzhou Liu Biao heard that he directly arranged the two rebels Li Jue and Guo Si in Wancheng. Why? Isn't Liu Biao envious of the [-] troops? Or is Liu Biao not afraid of the [-] Xiliang soldiers making trouble?"

At this time, Cao Cao was more confident, and laughed directly: "It is he, Liu Biao, who is afraid! He is afraid that this tiger that has entered the Central Plains will turn its head and devour people, so Liu Biao sent Li Jue and Guo Si's [-] troops away. In Wancheng is to resist Lu Bu."

"There is also Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, the four generations and three princes. Although he has an army of 30 in Jizhou, he has won consecutive battles in Youzhou battlefield, so what? This time they need me, Cao Mengde!"

"I need Cao Mengde to help them block this man-eating tiger."

Under the arrogant and heroic voice, Cao Cao's face was even more conceited, and he shouted directly: "This time I, Cao Mengde, is going to swallow Xuzhou. Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Yuan Shu'er, not only will they not stop them, but they will Help me, Cao Mengde, keep an eye on the rear."

"They are afraid! They are afraid that this tiger will eat people, and they need me, Cao Mengde, to stand in front of this tiger."

After drinking again and again, Cao Cao's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, and he looked directly at the generals under the tent and shouted: "Soldiers are precious and fast! I intend to conquer Xuzhou again!"

"My lord! The last general asks for his life!"

All the generals came out to fight one after another, and Wen Cheng and Lie all showed serious expressions. It is true that the general situation of the world has become clear now, and the world will change once Lu Bu takes Luoyang.

Everyone is guarding against this tiger that suddenly rushed into the Central Plains, and no one wants to run into this tiger, so they need Cao Cao.

And right now is the best opportunity. Once this tiger has completely digested Luoyang, the tiger will come out to eat people if it is so hungry.

"Rise up! Crusade against Xuzhou!"

boom!
Cao Cao suddenly drew out his sword and glared at the civil and military generals under his command. Under the firm roar of civil and military generals, all the civil and military generals clasped their fists and shouted: "Fight Xuzhou!"

No one thought that in this cold winter of November, Cao Cao asked the emperor to directly send [-] troops to conquer Xuzhou.

At the same time, Yuan Shao was named General Zuo with the edict of the Son of Heaven, commanding the three prefectures of Ji, Bing, and You.

You must know that Lu Bu restricted Yuan Shao, and Dong Zhuo didn't want to see Yuan Shao, so Yuan Shao is still a self-appointed official.

You can see that Gongsun Zan was named General Zuo. Cao Cao directly reprimanded Gongsun Zan of Youzhou for attacking Jizhou without authorization, removed him from the post of General Zuo and the title of Shepherd in Youzhou, and ordered him to retreat to the border.

Youzhou.

After receiving the imperial edict, Yuan Shao laughed even more excitedly, "Haha~ Meng De knows me, knows me too."

Especially when Gongsun Zan was dismissed from the position of General Zuo, and turned around, he turned into General Zuo, not to mention that he controlled Ji, You, and Bing three prefectures. It can be said that Cao Cao directly entrusted the whole of Hebei to him.

"Haha~ Spread the news of the emperor's edict to the three armies, and by the way, spread it to all the places in Youzhou, so that everyone in the world will know that now I, Yuan Benchu, are following the edict to hunt down thieves, and he, Gongsun Zan, is just rebellious."

Snorting coldly, Yuan Shao was so excited that he grinned his earlobe, and the civil and military subordinates congratulated each other.

"Hehe, congratulations, my lord. Cao Mengde did this just to get my lord to support him in his crusade against Xuzhou."

"However, for the current battle situation, it is the last straw that overwhelms Gongsun Zan. Now the lord is attacking Youzhou justifiably, but Gongsun Zan is different from before."

"That's right, my lord. Cao Cao's power is indeed not enough. Once this fierce tiger in Luoyang is released, Cao Mengde will be the first to bear the brunt, but he needs to strengthen his strength."

Yuan Shao, who was stroking his beautiful beard, listened to the compliments from the civil servants under his command with a smile on his face, and laughed directly: "Meng De has such a heart, I, Yuan Shao, can't be rude."

"Gongsun Zan of Youzhou is already the turtle in the urn. He went to the army to pick five hundred horses and send them to Meng De."

promise!
Smiling, Yuan Shao wasn't stupid, and he wished that Cao Cao would quickly swallow Xuzhou and digest his own strength, so as to pose a threat to Lu Bu.

With restraint at that time, he will be able to digest Youzhou with peace of mind.

Everyone has their own thoughts. Before Lu Bu, a powerful enemy, appeared in the Central Plains, Yuan Shao secretly did not want Cao Cao to increase his strength, but now it is different.

When two tigers fight, there must be a wound. Cao Cao wanted Yuan Shao to be the tiger, and Yuan Shao also wanted Cao Cao to be the other tiger.

Shouchun.

When Yuan Shu heard the news, he couldn't help but snorted, "Cao Ah is a villain who has power, but he still needs this person to restrain Lu Bu, a tyrannical person."

"Come here, go and send five hundred crossbows to Cao Mengde to show Yuan Shu's respect for the emperor."

promise!
Although he, Yuan Shu, was proud and even looked down on the people of the world, he still had to be afraid of Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo.

Especially Lu Bu, who commanded troops to fight, he had seen Hulao Pass with his own eyes, and after the bloody battles, no one in the world knew that this man used troops like a god.

No one wanted this little tiger to grow bigger, especially Lu Bu who came from a poor family, which made Yuan Shu feel a little disdainful.

If it hadn't been for taking advantage of Dong Zhuo, it would have been difficult for Lu Bu to achieve great things.

Xuzhou!

Under the snowstorm in December, Liu Bei was in a hurry. Who would have thought that the situation would change so much in just one year.

Last year, all the princes in the world didn't want to see Cao Cao grow up. This year, because Lu Bu, a tiger, entered the Central Plains, everyone secretly helped Cao Cao in the face of danger.

Especially this time Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou under the banner of the emperor, saying that he wanted to avenge his father.

Yuan Shu even abandoned the brother-in-law of this so-called family in nonsense. After Liu Bei sent a letter to the rescue, he only had a cold sentence.

"A concubine born to a daughter of the Yuan family, once married, she is no longer a member of the Yuan family, but Liu Bei's wife."

With just such a sentence, the angry Liu Bei blushed and patted the table angrily, "Yuan Gonglu! You are a ruthless and ungrateful person."

The letter sent to Yuan Shao in Jizhou looked much better than Yuan Shu's, but it also made Liu Bei almost vomit blood.

"Cao Cao holds righteousness in his hands according to the edict of the emperor, and it is the original intention of filial piety to avenge his father. If he can't do it, he can come to Jizhou. Shaoding welcomes him..."

Liu Bei felt aggrieved after reading this letter, Yuan Shao was even more ruthless than Yuan Shu, and seemed to have a little human touch, but the other party had to eat all of them to be reconciled.

It means that Liu Bei can't beat Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao will treat him seriously if he comes to the north to join him.

This person even has to eat up the other party with the horse before giving up.

"Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are unrighteous people who repeat themselves as villains."

Liu Bei gritted his teeth and roared, and Guan Yu below said with a gloomy face: "Brother, Cao Cao is coming this time with an army of [-], and in Xuzhou we can mobilize at most [-] troops."

"Big Brother, Second Brother, all the major families in Xuzhou are sitting and watching. Otherwise, why would Xuzhou have so many soldiers and horses?"

Don't look at Zhang Fei's reckless appearance, but Zhang Fei is the only one among the three brothers who came from a powerful background, and his knowledge is much higher than Guan Yu's.

Zhang Fei stared and hummed unwillingly, "The Cao family in Xuzhou gave their youngest daughter to Lu Bu, and the Mi family also gave one."

"Lü Bu certainly doesn't want to see Cao Cao take Xuzhou, brother, why not ask Lü Bu for help."

Zhang Fei's words immediately made Liu Bei's eyes widen. What he, the third younger brother, made sense, but Guan Yu shook his head and sighed.

"No one knows what's going on in Luoyang. How could Lu Bu lead an army to attack Cao Cao now?"

Facing his second brother this time, Zhang Fei showed a proud smile. It was obvious that his second brother was not as good as him in the treatment of the wealthy family.

"Second brother, we don't necessarily need Lu Bu to send troops, as long as Lu Bu sends a message to the Cao family in Xuzhou, nothing else, at least Cao Bao will give some face in secret."

"As for the Mi family, let alone."

Zhang Fei grinned, this is the way of survival of the family and all clans, you, Lv Bu, the princes of the world, have spoken, he Xuzhou Cao Bao should give some face, not to mention doing his best to help Fang, Cao Cao wins and finds trouble in the future.

No one dares to say who is the ultimate winner at the moment, so the aristocratic family will not be offended.

Cao Bao would definitely buy Lu Bu's face secretly and help them secretly. Even if Cao Cao won Xuzhou in the future, it would be commonplace and he would not care too much.

The Mi family is on good terms with his elder brother, and they only need to wear a pair of trousers right now.

"Okay, the third brother is right, I'll write a letter right now."

Liu Bei is in a state of desperation, not to mention the big families in Xuzhou are very difficult to deal with, and now Cao Cao is following the emperor's edict to crusade, and they all sit and watch the situation in the world.

It's so difficult!
