Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 357 Bu is willing to be your vanguard

When Cao Ang came to Xuzhou, his original purpose was to have Tao Qian, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu send troops to attack Yuan Shu.

As for Liu Biao, Cao Ang actually planned to go there.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qi came to Xuzhou on his own initiative, so he didn't have to make this trip.

However, before Cao Ang could speak, Tao Qian couldn't help but ask: "Nephew Liu Qixian, why did you come to my place this time for Yuan Shu?"

Liu Qi nodded when he heard this, stood up and bowed his hands to everyone: "Qi came uninvited, I hope you can forgive me, but Qi came this time to attack Yuan Shu."

Tao Qian also knew that Liu Biao and Yuan Shu had a deep hatred.

Presumably Liu Qi came here on behalf of Liu Biao and wanted to send troops with him.

With this thought in mind, Tao Qian made a gesture of invitation towards Liu Qi.

"Nephew Liu Qixian, please tell me the purpose of your coming here. Did your father send you here to join forces with me to attack Yuan Shu?"

When Liu Qi heard this, his expression became slightly embarrassed.

After he stood up, he bowed to everyone and said, "Young General, uncles, I'm really sorry. To be honest, Liu Qi actually came here secretly this time."

"Sneaked out?" Tao Qian asked in surprise, and everyone else looked at Liu Qi in confusion.

Everyone was confused about the meaning of Liu Qi's words, but after Cao Ang thought for a while, he figured out the meaning of Liu Qi's words.

It seems that Liu Biao lost his enterprising spirit and did not dare to go to war with Yuan Shu.

Liu Qi was squeezed out by the Cai family in Jingzhou, so he secretly came to Xuzhou to persuade Tao Qian to follow him in the crusade against Yuan Shu.

If Liu Qi makes a contribution in the crusade against Yuan Shu, he can receive a reward and be freed from Cai's control and oppression.

"It seems that this Liu Qi is not without merit." Cao Ang murmured in his heart, maybe the idea of ​​taking out the ladder from the house at that time was the boy's own idea, rather than what Liu Bei taught him.

While Cao Ang was thinking, Liu Qi spoke: "My father... although he has sent troops, he has no intention of starting a war with Yuan Shu."

"If we don't start a war, then the soldier who serves the ball!" Zhang Fei cursed after listening to Liu Qi's words.

"Sending troops without fighting is a waste of food and grass. You might as well persuade your father to give these food and grass to our brothers!"

Zhang Fei spoke very directly, which made Liu Qi extremely embarrassed.

When Lu Bu on the side heard this, he snorted disdainfully: "What's the use of giving it to you? What can you do with just the few soldiers and horses you have? Why don't you give me the food and grass, and rely on the Fang Tianhua in my hand?" The halberd and the BMW will definitely kill Yuan Shu without leaving a single piece of his armor behind!"

"Bah, you are a slave with a third surname, why should you argue with my elder brother?" Zhang Fei started scolding him after Lu Bu took his words away.

Just as Lu Bu was about to refute, Tao Qian stopped him.

Regarding the fight between Liu Bei and Lu Bu, Tao Qian still sided with Liu Bei.

After all, Liu Bei's words and actions make people very comfortable.

But Lu Bu jumps around every day and talks arrogantly, which makes people unhappy.

"Okay, the major general is sitting here, and the two of them are fighting with each other. How does this make the major general view us, the people of Xuzhou!" Tao Qian said, not forgetting to glance sideways at Lu Bu. His dissatisfaction was palpable.Although Lu Bu had objections to Cao Ang, he knew that if he went to war with Cao and his son at this time, he would definitely be defeated. Whether he could even lead his troops out of Xuzhou was a question.

After all, he doesn't have many soldiers at his disposal now, and just one Xiapi is not enough to support him in recruiting more soldiers.

He wants more territory!
Lu Bu glanced back at Tao Qian, then closed his mouth and remained silent.

At this moment, Cao Ang spoke: "Everyone, Yuan Shu's rebellion is an act of rebellion against the Han Dynasty. As a loyal and loyal man in the world, he should send troops to attack him. Are you still thinking of taking this opportunity to blackmail the court and make money from the national crisis? "

As soon as Cao Ang said this, a big hat was put on him, and several people present were silenced.

Originally they thought that Cao Ang's coming to discuss the crusade against Yuan Shu would bring them some benefits.

But I didn't expect that people would criticize me as soon as I came up.

"What are you talking about, the young general? In order to defeat Yuan Shu, we will definitely do our best to defeat Yuan Shu, and we will definitely not slack off at all!" Liu Bei quickly spoke, saying that he would do his best.

After all, his identity is here, and he must make a statement as soon as possible.

When Tao Qian heard this, he quickly spoke: "What Mr. Xuande said is true, we will definitely do our best!"

After Liu Bian and Tao Qian both expressed their opinions, Lu Bu frowned and said, "Who doesn't know that Tao Gongzu and Liu Xuande wear the same pair of trousers? As a Xuzhou herdsman, you must not be short of food and grass. Liu Bei is attached to you, so he must be too." There is no shortage of food and grass!”

"But what about me? With only the money and food from Xiapi City, how can I support my soldiers and horses to go to Yangzhou to fight Yuan Shu?"

Having said this, Lu Bu looked at Cao Ang and raised his hand: "General Cao, if you definitely support my troops, horses and food, then I, Lu Bu, am willing to be your vanguard and break the formation and kill the enemy for you!"

When Cao Ang heard this, he couldn't help but sigh that Lu Bu was really tolerant and would sell anything for profit.

It's just that Cao Ang really couldn't agree to Lu Bu's conditions.

"Lü Guoxiang was joking. The imperial army has already rushed to Yuzhou to attack Yuan Shu. Soldiers, horses, and food are all stored there. If food and grass are mobilized from Luoyang and other places now, the opportunity to fight will be delayed! "

When Lu Bu heard this, his face turned ugly: "Could it be that you, General Cao, want me to be charged with colluding with Yuan Shu to rebel and want to get rid of me?"

"What are you talking about, General Lu? To defeat Yuan Shu, we need your unparalleled martial arts, General Lu!" Cao Angpi complimented Lu Bu without a smile.

But Lu Bu was simple-minded and took advantage of these words.

"Then please let General Cao make it clear."

When Cao Ang heard this, he looked at Tao Qian and said, "Uncle, Xuzhou will allocate the troops, horses and food that Prime Minister Lu needs."

"This..." Tao Qian was a little embarrassed at this time. He was afraid that he would fatten up Lu Bu and turn around to attack him.

In fact, Lu Bu really planned to do this.

Cao Ang also knew that Lu Bu had gained weight and would decisively attack Xuzhou. This was the effect he wanted.

But at this moment, he couldn't say clearly: "Don't worry, uncle. When Yuan Shu is defeated, I will give him the wealth of Yangzhou and Xuzhou. After all, you, Xuzhou, dispatched the most generals in this battle."

Tao Qian also knew that Yangzhou was rich and prosperous. If he could get the counties to the north of Yangzhou after the war, then the soldiers, horses and food would be nothing.
