Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!
Chapter 911: Lu Bu is not an ungrateful person
When Lu Bu led his troops to Jiyin County, he encountered Yuan Tan's reinforcements.
Yuan Tan's army had a large number of cavalry, and more importantly, he had Zhang Fei.
Both Lu Bu and Zhang Fei were masters of martial arts, and when they met, they started fighting each other.
Zhang Fei was dressed in black, holding a Zhangba Snake Spear, and wielding it like a wind and rain. Lu Bu, on the other hand, used a huge axe to fight Zhang Fei.
Although Lu Bu was a rough man, his martial arts were extremely strong. Even Zhang Fei could only barely maintain his balance.
"This guy is quite capable. No wonder Yuan Benchu chose him to be the commander-in-chief." Zhang Fei admired secretly.
The fight between Lu Bu and Zhang Fei was so fierce that the surrounding soldiers could not get close at all and could only watch from afar.
Generals such as Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun commanded their respective troops to fight.
Huang Xu, Guan Yu and Zhang Liao were all wandering around with their elite cavalry, constantly looking for reinforcements from Yuan Tan.
Lu Bu and Zhang Fei were fighting and suddenly stopped.
"Lu Bu, let's stop today and fight again another day!" Zhang Fei shouted.
Lu Bu put away his axe and snorted coldly: "Zhang Yide, I will spare your life today! I hope you will take good care of yourself in the future."
Lu Bu led the cavalry away.
Zhang Fei also led a large force to retreat.
"Fengxian, are you okay?" Zhang Liao hurried to Lu Bu's side.
"Brother, I'm fine. Thanks to you for coming. Otherwise, I would have died." Lu Bu wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Fengxian, why did you go to Yanzhou?" Zhang Liao asked.
"I have wanted to visit Yanzhou for a long time, but that villain Yuan Tan wouldn't let me go.
I simply led the troops here, but I didn't expect that villain to be scared. I was going to teach him a lesson, what bad luck. "Lü Bu said depressedly.
"Fengxian, the situation is complicated now. Yuan Tan has won a surprise victory this time. You must not act rashly." Zhang Liao advised.
"Brother, you are right. I will just follow your arrangements." Lu Bu nodded.
Zhang Liao showed a satisfied smile. His brother really did not disappoint him.
"By the way, brother, I have something to discuss with you." Lu Bu said.
"Fengxian, just tell me whatever you want. We are brothers, there's no need to be so formal." Zhang Liao said.
"I have decided to surrender to my lord." Lu Bu expressed his inner decision.
Zhang Liao's eyes widened. He had never expected that Lu Bu would make such a decision.
"Fengxian, you are a general under Yuan Shu, how could you betray Yuan Gonglu?" Zhang Liao said with a frown.
"Brother, I have thought it through. I am willing to follow the lord and ask for your permission." Lu Bu said.
"Fengxian, our lord is in power in Xuzhou and has many experts under his command. If you go to Xuzhou, I'm afraid our lord will not welcome you." Zhang Liao continued to persuade.
Lu Bu shook his head and said, "Brother, the lord has done me a favor, I cannot betray him. The lord governs the country wisely and has many good generals under his command. I want to join the lord and help him to bring peace to the world."
Lu Bu's words left Zhang Liao silent.
Zhang Liao knew that Lu Bu was a man of upright character and once he made a decision, it would be difficult to reverse it.
Zhang Liao thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then go ahead. But remember, once you are abandoned by the lord, you must return to Youzhou immediately and not stay for long!"
Zhang Liao didn't believe Cao Ang would treat Lv Bu well, so he gave him some advice. After all, Lv Bu's reputation was not good, and Zhang Liao was worried that Lv Bu would be wronged in Xuzhou.
Lu Bu said solemnly: "Brother, please rest assured that I am not an ungrateful person."
Zhang Liao nodded, then patted Lu Bu on the shoulder and said, "Be careful when you go to Xuzhou."
Lu Bu left and went to look for Cao Ang.
Zhang Liao looked at Lu Bu's back and sighed. He knew that Lu Bu had gone to Xuzhou and it would be difficult for him to return to Youzhou in the future.
Zhang Liao knew Lu Bu's character, and knew that such a character would cause him to suffer great losses sooner or later.
On the other side, Cao Ang received news from Zhang Liao that Lu Bu was willing to join and expressed his willingness to surrender.
Cao Ang was overjoyed and immediately ordered Lu Bu to lead 5,000 cavalry to meet him.
Cao Ang urgently needs a brave general like Lu Bu. Only with Lu Bu can Cao Ang maintain his throne.
Lu Bu led 5,000 cavalrymen to Yecheng.
Cao Ang looked at Lu Bu's 5,000 cavalrymen and felt deeply moved. Lu Bu was once a fierce general under his command, but in the blink of an eye, Lu Bu became his enemy.
"Greetings, my lord." Lu Bu knelt on one knee and saluted Cao Ang.
Cao Ang helped Lü Bu up and said gently, "Fengxian, there is no need to be polite. Please stop being polite."
Cao Ang asked Zhang Liao to bring a chair for Lü Bu to sit on, and asked, "Fengxian, are you here to fight Cao Cao with me this time?"
"That's right. My lord, Yuan Shao is shameless and despicable. He took advantage of your absence to capture Yanzhou and seize Jizhou. My lord, you must enforce justice on the side of heaven." Lu Bu said angrily.
Cao Ang waved his hand and said, "Yuan Shao has evil ambitions, I know that. But my army is suppressing the rebellion in Donglai, and I cannot spare any troops to go south. Fengxian, your mission is to defeat Cao Cao and drive them back to Yanzhou."
When Lu Bu heard that Cao Ang was not coming to support him, he felt a little disappointed.
"My lord, I have a plan to offer you, which is guaranteed to defeat Cao's army!" Lu Bu suddenly remembered that he had another plan.
"Oh? Fengxian, you can talk as you please!" Cao Ang suddenly became excited. What he lacked most was a wise and strategic general.
Lu Bu said: "My lord, Cao Cao is short of food and grass when he attacks Yanzhou this time, so he will definitely recruit the people to serve as laborers.
Moreover, Cao Cao had two other goals: one was to occupy Yuzhou and Jingzhou, and the other was to take over the three counties in Hebei, all of which required food and fodder.
I think that our army can set up granaries in Yanzhou to store supplies, and when Cao Cao is short of food and grass, our army will launch an attack. This way, we can annihilate Cao Cao in one fell swoop. "
Cao Ang fell into deep thought. Lu Bu's move was indeed quite vicious, and it could be said that it targeted Cao Cao's weakness. Cao Ang thought this method was feasible.
"Fengxian's plan is very good. However, if we want to set up a granary, we must have a dedicated civil servant to manage it.
I wonder if Fengxian knows any civil or military officials who can be of great use?" Cao Ang asked.
"My lord, I have a suggestion." Jia Xu stood up.
"My dear, please feel free to speak." Cao Ang said.
"My lord, among our army, apart from you and Zhuge Kongming, Chen Gong is the most suitable person for this responsibility." Jia Xu said.
"Yes, Chen Gong is a great talent, that's exactly what I meant. But it's a pity that Chen Gong is in Chang'an and I'm afraid he won't be able to get away in a short time." Cao Ang said distressedly.
Chen Gong and Guo Jia left Chang'an together. Chen Gong's reason was simple: Chang'an was too dangerous, and he wanted to go somewhere else to hide for a while. (End of this chapter)
