Lu Bu's Sims

Chapter 302
In May of the third year of Jian'an (AD 198).

It has been five years since Cai Daru launched the imperial examination. The imperial examination is held every three years. The second imperial examination has not caused much disturbance in the world, but the imperial examination is not too shabby.

The mediocrity may allow the imperial examination to continue almost completely. Dripping water wears away the thick accumulation of rocks, and boiling frogs in warm water. When people look back decades later, they are surprised to find that the former referral system has no space, and the imperial examination has already occupied the world.

Chang'an, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"What a Cao Mengde, he is cunning enough to think that advance is retreat."

He was so provocative, but Cao Cao temporarily stopped mobilizing troops on the grounds of insufficient food and grass. Lu Bu also sighed helplessly, and handed over the information in his hands to everyone.

"Send a letter to Zhang Ren at Hulao Gate, telling them that a small group of elites can harass and provoke Cao Cao, but Hulao Gate must be tightened."

promise!
Rubbing his brows, Lu Bu was suffering from a headache. Cao Cao just wanted to spend time. After he and Yuan Shao recuperated, maybe even Jingzhou would decide the winner, and they happened to join forces.

Even if Jingzhou doesn't do anything, just wait for you, Lu Bu, to show the slightest defeat. Needless to say, he is not stupid, so he dares to go up and take a bite.

Jingzhou.

"Military division, do you read what Sun Bofu said?"

Liu Bei couldn't help frowning when he looked at the letter sent by Jiangdong Sun Ce, and asked his military adviser after hesitation.

Seeing that Chen Gong received the letter from Jiangdong, after a long while at a glance, he sighed leisurely, "Jiangdong Zhou Lang is a great talent."

He himself didn't expect to cooperate with the Jiangdong newspaper group to keep warm, Chen Gong couldn't help but sigh with deep emotion.

Today the weakest princes in the world are Liu Bei, Liu Zhang, and Jiangdong Sun Ce. As for the dead bones in Liu Biao's tomb.

The strongest are Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao. It is obvious that Liu Bei is eager to compete with Liu Biao for Jingzhou.

On the contrary, Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao's three princes often ruled at least two states, and they were weaker in terms of background.

It is obvious that the three princes of the Central Plains are fighting for hegemony. Liu Bei is exhausted and can't participate in the war. At most, he can fight with the wind and drink some broth.

He is currently only bordering Cao Cao's territory, and more importantly, cavalry!The defeat in the last Hefei battle was actually a congenital defect.

Therefore, Liu Bei and Jiangdong Sun Ce form an alliance. When the time comes, the two will support each other. Jiangdong will help Liu Bei's momentum and help them stand firm in Jingzhou. Anyway, Jiangdong Sun Ce is also a prince along the way. As long as he speaks out to recognize Liu Bei in Jingzhou, it is still useful.

At that time, Jiangdong and Jingzhou will form an alliance, at least there will be no need to fight, how could they not be happy.

And Jiangdong needed Liu Bei from Jingzhou to help them in the next battle in the Central Plains. Sun Ce made it clear that he wanted to avenge the last time, so he could take advantage of the battle between the three princes of the Central Plains before going to Hefei.

The request is also very simple. If necessary, help and threaten Cao Cao. At the same time, there is also a secret intention to buy war horses in the army.

"My lord, the nine counties of Jingzhou can only be given to Jiangdong, Jiangxia and Changsha at most."

Chen Gong directly agreed to this alliance, and even stated his own conditions. Seeing Liu Bei's reluctance, he couldn't help but sighed deeply.

"My lord, after the alliance with Jiangdong, Cao Cao didn't dare to advance rashly, and Lu Bu is held back by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at this time, so he has no spare time to take care of Jingzhou."

One sentence hit the point, Liu Bei also nodded secretly after hearing it, yes, what the military adviser said is reasonable, now only Cao Cao can pose a threat to him, once he joins forces with Jiangdong, it will be different.

At that time, Cao Cao was afraid that Liu Bei and Jiangdong Sun Ce would join forces to attack him. Old Cao was not afraid of Liu Bei and Sun Ce, but the problem with his teammate Yuan Shao was that he couldn't stop Lu Bu in his heyday, let alone now.

"What does the sergeant mean?"

Liu Bei seemed to have guessed something, but he was still a little unsure, only to see Chen Gong showing a meaningful smile.

"My lord, Cao Cao coerced the emperor to order the princes, and we join hands with Jiangdong to make the emperor recognize the righteous name of the lord in Jingzhou. At that time, the two princes Cao Cao and Sun Ce will add the emperor's reputation, and the bones of Liu Biao in Jingzhou will be dead."

"Secondly, after the lord has unified Jingzhou, the war in the Central Plains will be ignited sooner or later. At that time, my lord, you say that Jiangdong Sun Ce is greedy for Jingzhou and us to fight for both losses, so as to benefit the princes of the Central Plains, or to attack Yangzhou."

With Chen Gong's words, Liu Bei was overjoyed, stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "The military adviser is really Zhang Liang and Xiao Heye alive."

Hearing Liu Bei's praise, Chen Gong, who was kneeling across from him, couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly, "Once the princes of the Central Plains go to war, Cao Cao is most worried about the lord and Sun Ce."

"It's almost needless to say right now, Sun Ce will not go to war with Jingzhou, but what about the lord? This is an opportunity."

Chen Gong squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Yizhou! At that time, Cao Cao will definitely stand up and support the lord to attack Yizhou, and the lord will ask him for an emperor's edict to attack Liu Zhang in Yizhou. Notorious, the lord occupies the righteousness, and Liu Zhang in Yizhou is weak."

"The army of Jingzhou in the lord hectare was ordered by the emperor to attack Liu Zhang, the rebellious minister of Yizhou. Cao Cao was happy to hear it, but Lu Bu couldn't reach it. As for Jiangdong, we only need to trade some war horses. Sun Ce will be happy. In this way, he will even support the lord in the crusade against Yizhou."

In a word!According to this general trend, Lu Bu was too busy to take care of the forces around Liu Bei, Cao Cao also had more than enough energy, and Jiangdong Sun Ce was too busy digging out Lao Cao's butt.

At this time, Liu Bei of Jingzhou suddenly discovered that the princes who bordered on the surrounding territories are busy fighting. Who is he fighting?Team up to fight Lu Bu?How could it be possible to beat Lu Bu to make wedding dresses for the princes of the Central Plains in vain, it would be better to beat Yizhou.

Once Liu Bei attacked Lu Bu, among other things, when Liu Bei threatened Lu Bu's retreat, the army would definitely dare to start from Wancheng and beat Liu Bei directly.

As for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Lu Bu can defend them for the time being. Anyway, Jingzhou has not recovered yet, and with the war horses in the north, there is no discussion about beating you.

"A well-prepared military adviser is like a fish in water."

Listening to Chen Gong's analysis and the future battle situation, Liu Bei excitedly held the opponent's hand, trembling for a while.

He just lacks such a think tank. Otherwise, why hasn’t he accomplished anything for so many years? Now that Jingzhou has not yet been defeated, they have already planned the next step for him. What do you mean by Zhang Liang and Xiao He?

"My lord, how dare Gong compare with Zhang Liang and Xiao He."

Chen Gong was ashamed for a while, but Liu Bei was so excited that he recognized you anyway, right now he can't wait to sleep with the military master every day to cultivate feelings, and completely tie the military master to the car.

Changan.

"A secret agent came to report that Liu Bei secretly formed an alliance with Sun Ce. Many places in Jingzhou have fallen, and Liu Biao is trapped in Xiangyang."

"On the Jiangxia battlefield in Jingzhou, Jiangdong suddenly increased its troops by [-]. Huang Zu caught Zhou Yu's ambush by surprise. Now Jiangdong's army has occupied half of Jiangxia."

In the study, Lu Bu summoned his confidants and counselors, and told them all the information learned by Jin Yiwei's investigation.

Suddenly everyone was startled, and they all frowned and pondered, how to break the situation has become the key.

Frowning, Tian Feng cupped his hands and came out directly: "My lord, time doesn't wait for me. Once Jingzhou is pacified, after we start the war with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, regardless of success or failure, what will Jingzhou do? No one can say."

"I suggest sending troops!"

In a word, Tian Feng directly and stubbornly decided to launch the war first, while Jia Xu was silent, Guo Jia pondered for a moment, and then slowly came out: "My lord, I really can't give Yuan Shao a chance to breathe, let alone Cao Cao. A chance to recuperate."

Cheng Yu nodded directly and said, "My lord, Luoyang, Bingzhou, and Wei County stockpiled a lot of food and grass during the Jizhou war last year, and they have already prepared for the next war."

Cheng Yu almost made it clear that there is no need to worry about harvesting food and grass. Finally, Jia Xu squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice after seeing everyone speak up: "Let's start the battle first, then the lord will have the initiative to choose where to open the battlefield."

Jia Xu, who hit the vital point directly, directly made Lu Bu and everyone smile. Now everyone agrees to start the war, and more importantly, this time is not the same as before. He is the number one prince in the world and has millions of troops. One hundred thousand is really not a problem.

"Everyone, how about the battlefield in Jizhou for this battle!"

Lu Bu looked directly at the crowd, and even pointed to the Jizhou area on the map behind him.

"Your lord is wise, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao joined forces. As the saying goes, picking persimmons and picking soft ones. There are still many people who used to follow the white horse Gongsun in the frontier of Youzhou who are dissatisfied with Yuan Shao. This battle should be a fierce attack on Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao will focus on defense all the way. .”

Guo Jia pointed directly at the map and said slowly, and Tian Feng also squinted and added: "My lord, Cao Cao and the emperor ordered the princes. If we only defend, I am afraid that this person will divide his troops to threaten Jizhou on the one hand, and threaten Hulao on the other. And then threaten Luoyang."

"Weichen suggested that we send troops to Guandu. As long as Cao Cao dares to divide his troops to threaten Hulao, we will press in with a large army and directly put on a threat to Xuchang."

"Otherwise, although Yuan Shao can't stand it, but I think the lord will beat Yuan Shao out of Jizhou with a thunderbolt. Once Bohai is lost, Yuan Shao's Qingzhou and Youzhou will be divided into two."

"However, my lord turned from offense to defense with Yuan Shao, gathering forces to defeat Cao Cao's army directly, and slowly encroaching on the world in this way."

Each had its own reasons, Lu Bu felt Yuan Shao's embarrassment now, but as a warrior on the battlefield, he looked at the terrain of Jizhou and slowly smiled.

In terms of strategy, he may be inferior, but in terms of battlefield, Lu Bu can definitely score above [-]%.

"My army made a surprise attack on Hejian County and directly threatened Yuan Shao's old nest Bohai. Once he attacked Bohai, Yuan Shao's Youzhou and Qingzhou would be cut in two, hehe!"

When he said this, Lu Bu grinned and showed his white teeth, and said with a sneer, "I'll see what Yuan Benchu ​​can do to get out of my palm."

"My lord is wise."

Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Tian Feng, and Cheng Yu clasped their hands together and shouted. In fact, they also agreed with Lu Bu's decision. To put it bluntly, this is the safest strategy.

All the way to the present, Lu Bu, who is the number one prince in the world, not only has not lost, but has become more stable. The risky gambling in the past is no longer there, and they are happy to see it.

An adventurous protagonist is what they are most worried about, and if they are not careful, they will lose everything.

And a prudent Lu Bu chose the safest strategy to divide Yuan Shao's forces into two, so that when they confronted Cao Cao again, they would also be able to think of it.

How will Yuan Shao choose when the territory is divided into two?Needless to say, they could almost guess that Yuan Shao would definitely choose Qingzhou instead of Youzhou.

After the death of Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, many generals in the frontier area complained a lot about the Yuan family. Moreover, Youzhou was bitterly cold, and there were Hulu outside the Great Wall to restrain them. It would be better to go to Qingzhou.

Qingzhou had no owner for so many years, so it was easier for him to gain a firm foothold, and he was able to completely join forces with Cao Cao.

Lu Bu will slowly encroach on Youzhou at this time, and since Yuan Shao knows that the territory will be divided into two halves, he will definitely choose to leave a member of the Yuan family in Youzhou. After all, this is Yuan Shao's last hope.

If Lu Bu is undefeated!Then all that is waiting is Youzhou being slowly eaten away. If Lu Bu is defeated, Yuan Shao will have the opportunity to return to Jizhou by relying on the joint efforts of Qingzhou and Youzhou, and even take Hebei in one go. Let's see how the two of them negotiated to share the benefits.

Wars have always been about competing for interests, and they are also started because of interests.
