The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

"Is this true?"

"What my Lord says is absolutely true."

"it is good!"

Yuan Shu finally felt relieved. "In that case... someone, please entertain the envoy for me."

"Thank you, General."

Mi Fang personally came to Yuan Shu to express his intention. The Han army's attack on Xuzhou was just to connect the control areas. That is, after capturing Langya and regaining the East China Sea, the Han army stopped going south and this military operation ended here.

After sending Mi Fang away, Yuan Shu couldn't help but sigh: "Liu Han is an honest man!"

Then he looked at everyone, "What do you think about this matter?"

"Lord."

"Han Yin?"

"I think what Mi Fang said is true?"

"Oh? Tell me about it"

"First, Yu Gong, the Han army just captured Yanzhou last year and has not yet had time to repair it. We all know the style of King Zhenbei. If he doesn't move, he will be done. If he moves, it will be a thunderous force. Therefore, the Han army's attack on Xuzhou this time is really just for Open the road to Beihai.”

Han Yin looked at everyone and paused for a while: "Secondly, King Zhenbei has always been on good terms with the lord, and he also has a personal enmity with Lu Bu. Therefore, if the lord attacks Lu Bu, he will never help."

"Han Yin is right."

"Yes."

"..."

Everyone also agreed with Han Yin's point of view.

"Xuande, what do you think?"

If we say that the one who had the most dealings with the Han army was Liu Bei, who had the most to say among all the people present.

When Liu Bei heard Yuan Shu calling him, his expression turned ugly. No one in the world knew that he had never won against Liu Han. Wasn't this exposing his scars in front of everyone?
"Ming Gong, please be prepared. You must not believe Mi Fang's words, but you cannot believe them all."

"Oh?"

After hearing this, Yuan Shu made up his mind: "Okay! In this case, we must work hard to win Xiapi!"

"Here."

"Lu Fengxian, we meet again!"

The last time they met was at Hulao Pass. At that time, Lu Bu was in high spirits. Now when he saw the unshaven Lu Bu, Yuan Shu almost didn't recognize him if it weren't for the halberd drawn in the sky in his hand.

"Hmph! Yuan Gongli, if you come to attack Xuzhou, aren't you afraid that you and I will fight against each other and someone else will benefit from it?"

"Hahaha……"

Yuan Shu laughed after hearing this: "Afraid? Why should you be afraid?"

"Lu Bu! I advise you to stay calm and capture him, so as not to suffer physical pain."

"Hmph! Although I am not talented, there are still thousands of people with armor in Xiapi City. You can attack us!"

This is Lu Bu's confidence.

"Humph!"

"Yuan Shu! Who are you? I know best. Don't use clever words here. Look at the arrow!"

After saying this, Chen Gong opened his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow at Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu dodged and the arrow flew past Yuan Shu's helmet.

Yuan Shu said angrily: "Chen Gong! I swear to kill you!"

"Siege!"

"Kill!" Yuan Shu commanded the army and began to attack Xiapi City. Lu Bu and Chen Gong commanded the archers to fire arrows at the city, causing heavy casualties to Yuan's army.

After days of attack and defense, both sides temporarily ceased their activities.

"Ugh!"

"General, there is no need to sigh. It has been more than a month since Yuan Shu came from far away, and his power cannot last long. The general can lead his troops to station outside the city, and I and the rest of the soldiers will defend the city. If Yuan Shu attacks the general, I will lead his troops to attack behind him. If Yuan Shu comes to attack the city, , the generals made a surprise attack, and the two responded with each other's strength. After ten days, Yuan's army ran out of food and retreated. If he pursues it again, he can defeat it with a single blow. "

Lu Bu reluctantly said: "That's all."

Looking at the bonfire in the city, Lu Bu asked, "Gongtai, I have something to puzzle about."

"Excuse me, General."

"He Liu Han's army is eyeing the Beihai. Why does Yuan Shu dare to make such a big show? Is he really not afraid of hurting both of us and ending up as someone else's wedding dress?"

"General, if my prediction is correct, Yuan Shu will agree with him to carve up Xuzhou together."

Lu Bu suddenly understood: "I see, it makes sense. If I were Liu Han, I would sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and get all the benefits in vain."

"Alas! If there is nothing important, go back to Gongtai and rest."

"Here."

Looking at Chen Gong's back, Lu Bu was uneasy, "Why do I feel that Xiapi is more murderous than Chang'an?"

Looking at Yuan Shu's camp outside the city, Lu Bu murmured: "Liu Han... Liu Han... Is there any way I can get you to come out and disrupt the situation?"

The next day, Chen Gong began to gather soldiers, preparing for them to follow Lu Bu out of the city to garrison. After the soldiers were ready, Chen Gong came to the gate of Lu Mansion's courtyard and saw Lu Bu and his wife Yan walking into the courtyard. Lu Bu's daughter followed behind and kept crying. Chen Gong stopped when he saw this.

Yan's face burst into tears and she said with deep reproach: "It's Chen Gong again! How can you abandon your wife, daughter and soldiers and go away alone? If something changes, can I still be the general's wife?"

Lu Bu hesitantly walked out of the courtyard, while the sergeants in the city were lining up nervously.

Lu Bu walked to the door of the courtyard and saw Chen Gong standing outside the courtyard.

Chen Gong came over: "Lord! Please give the order!"

Wenwen Township is the Tomb of Heroes, especially "great heroes" like Lu Bu, who are buried in Wenwen Township. When Lu Bu returned home, he told his wife about this matter. Yan's face was full of reluctance, and now he is also very hesitant. But he still walked out of the yard with heavy steps.

"The general has been hesitating for three days. It turns out that Yuan Shu is besieging the city on all sides. If he doesn't break out and is trapped in the city, it will be too late!"

"Ok!"

Of course Lu Bu knew that once Yuan Shu besieged the city and trapped him, he would only need to wait until the city ran out of food to capture Xiapi at the minimum cost.

Lu Bu was about to walk towards the courtyard when he was stopped by his wife Yan.

"General! General!"

Yan ran over from behind and grabbed Lu Bu.

"General! You can't go! Can Song Xian and Chen Gong'an hold Xiapi City? If anything goes wrong, we will regret it."

"I'm only going to cut off Yuan Shu's food supply."

Yan continued to cry: "When I was in Chang'an, I was abandoned by the general. Fortunately, I got to meet the general later. Who knew that today, I would be abandoned again. General! General! General!"

Lu Bu still relented and finally changed his mind: "Rather than leaving the city, it's better to stick to it!"

Chen Gong came up with another plan: "General! I have another plan. I recently heard that Yuan Shu is about to run out of food, so he sent people to Shouchun to get food. Sooner or later, it will be here. General, he can lead elite troops to cut off his food route. This plan is great, please. General, make a quick decision."

"How do you know this is not Yuan Shu's trick? I don't have many men and horses in my hands, so I can't act rashly. Let's discuss this matter later."

Lu Bu accompanied Yan back to the mansion. Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu's back, then looked back at the soldiers gathered outside, feeling very annoyed.

"Alas! We will die at the hands of women!"

"If you don't take advantage of the great opportunity in front of you, you will be destroying yourself by sitting there waiting for death!"

Chen Gong was really tired. He had already sensed that disaster was coming. Lu Bu did not cooperate, so Chen Gong could only order people to be more vigilant, but doing so was like a drop in the bucket and better than nothing. (End of chapter)
