Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 69: Lu Bu's Thoughts

While Cao Cao was gathering his army and preparing to attack Wancheng again.

The situation in Yangzhou has also entered a white-hot stage.

The current situation is very unfavorable for Yuan Shu. Although he has sufficient soldiers and horses, he lacks generals to lead them.

But there are no generals who are strong enough.

So what if there are more soldiers and horses?

But it was too late to realize this now. Faced with the attack from three armies, Yuan Shu was unable to resist at all. His army was defeated and could only retreat continuously.

The three allied forces were advancing triumphantly.

Among them, Lu Bu's army fought the most aggressively. He was like the tip of a spear, unstoppable and sharp.

Inside the Chinese army camp.

Lu Bu looked at the marching map on the table and couldn't help but said happily: "Yuan Shu is really vulnerable. At the current pace, we will be able to attack Shou County and capture the false emperor within three months!"

He was originally somewhat wary of Yuan Shu. After all, he was the tyrant who dominated Huainan and had an army of hundreds of thousands under his command.

But when they actually fought, he found that the combat effectiveness of Yuan Shu's army was really not that good.

To be precise, the general who commanded the troops was too incompetent.

There is not even one person who can fight!
Chen Gong also laughed and said, "It's not that the enemy is too weak, but that the general is too brave. Moreover, this time Yuan Shu is facing four armies and is being attacked from both sides."

"His main forces were all on guard against Sun Ce, and he didn't dare to mobilize them easily, so this battle was able to go so smoothly."

Sun Ce posed a greater threat to Yuan Shu than the three armies.

Because the former was located in the heart of the Huainan area, it was like a knife stuck in Yuan Shu's heart, ready to take his life at any time.

Therefore, Yuan Shu had to use a large number of troops to guard against Sun Ce.

"Sun Ce? Sun Jian's son?"

Lu Bu raised his sword-like eyebrows, and a fierce fighting spirit ignited in his eyes. "If there is a chance, this general would like to meet him and see who is stronger than his father!"

He once fought against Sun Jian when he was under Dong Zhuo.

And he was defeated twice.

Although there were various reasons for the two defeats, defeat was defeat and there was nothing to say. He just wanted to wait for an opportunity to fight Sun Jian again and defeat him head-on to avenge his previous humiliation.

But who would have thought that instead of getting the chance to fight, he got the news that Sun Jian was shot and died, which he always regretted.

Since it is said that Sun Jian's son Sun Ce is as brave as his father, he would like to learn it for a while!
"General, there is no need to confront Sun Ce head-on."

Chen Gong dissuaded him, and then patiently explained to Lu Bu: "We are attacking Yuan Shu this time, firstly for the sake of justice to kill the false emperor, and secondly to divide Yangzhou. In fact, the latter is the real purpose."

"Didn't you notice? Since Sun Ce conquered Danyang and Lujiang, he has stopped sending troops and just confronted Yuan Shu. This shows that he is waiting for the right opportunity."

"As long as the three armies have almost exhausted Yuan Shu's strength, he will send out troops again to carve up more territory! By then, the three armies will be exhausted, and who will be able to compete with him?"

"If you fight him again at that time, I'm afraid you will be defeated miserably."

Compared to Lu Bu, whose mind was only thinking about how to fight.

Chen Gong saw and thought much more.

He is always paying attention to changes in the current situation.

Lü Bu's face suddenly changed slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask, "Sun Ce is so treacherous? Then... Gongtai, what should I do now?"

Chen Gong had already made up his mind and replied: "From now on, General, you can no longer fight as aggressively as before, you need to conserve your strength." "At the same time, transfer troops from Xuzhou to the cities that have been captured and take over as many territories as possible."

Chen Gong never thought about taking over the entire Yangzhou from beginning to end.

Because he knew it was impossible.

His purpose was just to get a piece of the pie from the war against Yuan Shu and divide up some of Yuan Shu's territory.

"Okay! I'll do as the public official says!"

Lu Bu nodded repeatedly and followed Chen Gong's orders.

Then he remembered something and continued to ask Chen Gong: "Gongtai, after defeating the false emperor Yuan Shu, should we think of a way to save His Majesty next?"

Lu Bu has always been thinking about Liu Xie in Yecheng.

His idea was simple. If he could rescue Liu Xie from Yuan Shao, this achievement would be greater than attacking Yuan Shu.

Maybe if His Majesty is so pleased, he will directly appoint him as the general!
"..."

Chen Gong was silenced by Lu Bu's words.

Can Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao be compared?

After sighing in his heart, Chen Gong said: "General, don't think about these things for now. Yuan Shao is not someone you can match now."

"And your Majesty is actually very safe in Ye City right now. Yuan Shao dares not do anything to your Majesty. I heard a few days ago that he even offered a woman with the Phoenix destiny to the palace to show his respect for the emperor. It can be seen that he still cares about his reputation. How dare he harm your Majesty at will?"

Chen Gong was really afraid that after defeating Yuan Shu, Lu Bu would get hot-headed and go fight Yuan Shao, so he hurried to persuade him.

"understood."

Fortunately, Lu Bu was a man who listened to advice. After Chen Gong's words, he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​rescuing Liu Xie from Yuan Shao, but he was still thinking about something in his heart.

So, by presenting beautiful women to His Majesty, you can gain a good reputation?
……

Yecheng, Yuan Mansion.

After a period of recuperation, Yuan Shao has now recovered.

However, there are still certain sequelae left, and I can't get angry easily, otherwise I might fall into a coma like last time, or even worse.

After recovering, he still did not take back the power to handle military and political affairs from his two sons, but continued to let them help share the pressure.

At this time, Yuan Shang was reporting the battle situation on the front line to Yuan Shao.

"Father, the battle line in Yangzhou has been stretched to a very long extent, and many soldiers on the frontline have been killed and wounded. General Yan requests additional troops and logistical supplies."

"I have already allocated 20,000 troops for reinforcements. At the same time, the logistics supply has been increased by 30% to prepare for any emergency needs."

After hearing Yuan Shang's report, Yuan Shao frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Twenty thousand is not enough. Allocate another twenty thousand. At the same time, increase the logistics supply to 50%. We must ensure the supply to the front line."

Yuan Shang was stunned, but immediately nodded and said, "Yes, father!"

Yuan Xi, who was standing by, looked very bitter when he heard this. He said, "Father, isn't it a bit too much to increase the logistics supply by 50%?"

"Now that the battle line is stretched so long, the pressure on logistics is already huge. Now doubling the supply is really... a bit overwhelming."

Now Yuan Shang is in charge of military affairs, while Yuan Xi is in charge of logistics.

Yangzhou is far away from Jizhou. Stretching the front line to such a long distance is already a huge test for logistics, not to mention that so many more people have to be added now.

This made Yuan Xi feel deeply pressured.
