The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 334

Gu Yong spoke peacefully, but anyone could hear provocation and ridicule from it.

It's fine if Yuan Shao is willing to go, if he refuses to go, he will definitely become the laughing stock of the world.

Born as the lord of Hebei, with an army of hundreds of thousands, Lu Bu didn't even dare to meet him when he came to the north bank of the Yellow River.

What is the true character of a hero?Where is the heroism?
The faces of all the staff present were not very good, and the Hebei generals even stared at Gu Yong, as if they wanted to eat him alive.

Feng Ji still wanted to speak, but Yuan Shao raised his hand to signal him not to continue.

"Tell Lu Fengxian that as long as he dares to cross the river, I will meet him." Yuan Shao said to Gu Yong, "I will wait for him by the river bank tomorrow morning."

"Duke Yuan is indeed a hero." Gu Yong bowed and said to Yuan Shao, "I will sue the Duke of Yuan's intentions to the Marquis of Chu. It is important to report to the Marquis of Chu, so I will retire first."

Yuan Shao nodded, Gu Yong resigned and left.

"My lord, you must not go." After Gu Yong left, Feng Ji said: "Lv Bu is deceitful, and I heard that he fought in Dangshan, dozens of Cao Cao's generals were not his opponents, and he killed more than a dozen of them. People, and I just watched him walk away. If the lord goes, I'm afraid it will be bad luck."

"So what if there is a lot of bad luck?" Yuan Shao replied: "He has come to the North Shore, if I don't go, people will only say that I am afraid of him, and some will think that he is too strong, so I am inconvenient to meet him of?"

Yuan Shao didn't know how to respond to Feng Ji's question.

He stood up and said to the two generals present: "Yan Liang, Wen Chou, you two will follow me to see Lu Bu tomorrow morning."

Yan Liang and Wen Chou immediately agreed.

"Lü Bu wants to see me, there are only two possibilities." Yuan Shao's eyes swept over everyone's faces: "First, he really wants to make peace with our Yuan family. If that's the case, as long as he gives some benefits, I also don't intend to continue to advance to Xuzhou. Second, he wants to harm me, and with Yan Liangwen and Chou, it's not that easy for him to harm me, so you just need to rest assured."

Yuan Shao had already decided to see Lu Bu, and everyone knew that persuasion was useless.

Guo Tu said to Yuan Shao: "My lord is going to see Lv Bu. I think it's not enough just to accompany the two generals, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, it's better to take them to the camp first..."

"It's not going to fight, what are you bringing so many people for?" Yuan Shao waved his hand: "If you don't take them, go to the camp first, so as not to be laughed at by Lu Bu."

Gu Yong persuaded Yuan Shao to return to the south bank of the Yellow River.

After listening to him explain the process of persuasion, Lu Bu nodded: "I knew that Feng Ji would be a hindrance. Fortunately, Yuan Tan went to persuade Yuan Shao."

"Yuan Shao is a face-saving person." Gu Yong replied: "He is always very happy, it is actually very easy to convince him, just tell him that if you don't do this, you will be ridiculed by the world, and he will probably obey."

"Yuan Tan really gave Yuan Benchu ​​a thorough understanding." Lu Bu said with a smile, "You have done a lot of credit for crossing the river to convince Yuan Shao this time. I will reward Yuan Shao well when he retreats."

"Thank you, Marquis Chu." Gu Yong bowed.

Ever since they joined Lu Bu, Gu Yong and others discovered that the Lu Bu they had heard about in the past was completely different from what they saw now.

The Lu Bu they had heard was not only self-willed but also greedy for money and profit.

Whenever you see the benefits, you wish you could keep them in your own hands, how could you think of allocating some to your subordinates?
But since joining Lu Bu's tent, Gu Yong gradually realized that this was not the case.

Not to mention Lu Bu's grand manner, whenever he made a decision, he would always consider the interests of the people under him.

For example, he sent his family members to Jianye a few days ago. If he really did what he said in the rumors, it would be impossible to send all the family members of Xuzhou officials away. Instead, he would just let Lu Su send his family members to Jianye.

Lu Bu was a man of great character, so Gu Yong and the others certainly felt that working under him would make them feel much happier.

"Marquis Chu." Zhou Yu had already made an appointment with Yuan Shao to meet him, and Zhou Yu asked him, "Should we send more people there? To prevent Yuan Shao from cheating."

"No need." Lu Bu replied, "It's enough for me and Bo Fu to go there. The other side is Yuan Shao's territory. If he wants to cheat me, even if I bring tens of thousands of horses, it will definitely not be of much use. To go to the peace talks, of course it is good to have some sincerity."

He then smiled, lowered his voice, and said to Zhou Yu: "Bo Fu and I are the only ones crossing the river. Yuan Shao really needs to think about it. He didn't have any precautions when he went to see him, that is, he didn't have any of his men at all. Those people see it in their eyes. Looking at the world, who is my opponent when it comes to Wu Yong? Yuan Shao also has to think carefully, whether it will be good for her to be my enemy for too long."

"What Chu Hou said is true." Zhou Yu was taken aback, and immediately understood what Lu Bu meant. Although he still felt that it was not safe, he could only follow him.

"Bo Fu, sleep well tonight, and cross the river with me tomorrow morning." Looking at Yuan Jun's camp on the other side of the river, Lu Bu explained to Sun Ce who was beside him.

Sun Ce clasped his fists and said, "Actually, there is nothing to prepare, just bring weapons and beware of Yuan Shao's secret tricks."

That night, Yuan Jun's barracks and Lu Bu's barracks were all quiet.

Neither side has any intention of going to war.

Lu Bu slept soundly at night, but Yuan Shao couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

When Cao Cao sent Guo Jia to Yecheng to contact him, he only told him the benefits of attacking Lv Bu, but he didn't tell him that Lv Bu is so difficult to deal with today.

If he knew that Lu Bu was so tough, he would not have sent troops to Yanjin easily.

If you offend Lu Bu, there will definitely not be too many troubles in the future.

Fortunately, Lu Bu didn't seem to intend to make him an enemy, so he sent Gu Yong to the north bank of the Yellow River to discuss peace talks with him, so there is still a possibility for the two sides to turn things around.

However, Yuan Shao also had a layer of worry at the same time.

Lu Bu has become so powerful, when the two sides have to fight in the future, can he be easily taken down with Hebei's strength?
Really unable to sleep, Yuan Shao sat up and ordered outside the tent: "Invite Shen Zhengnan Yao, Feng Yuantu and others."

The guards who have been with him for a while, of course know that he is going to invite several prominent aides from Hebei.

The guard agreed, and after a while, Shen Pei, Feng Ji and others came one after another.

After entering Yuan Shao's handsome tent, after everyone greeted him, Guo Tu asked, "Dare to ask my lord, what is there to discuss when you brought us here so late?"

"Please come here, I thought of something." Yuan Shao said to everyone: "I was thinking, Lu Fengxian is now so strong that he defeated Cao Mengde twice in Dangshan, if the time comes when he really has to go to war , can we still handle it?"

The doubts raised by Yuan Shao were indeed something that everyone in Hebei had to think about.

Everyone glanced at each other, and Feng Ji said: "Lv Bu is not very powerful now, I think my lord doesn't need to negotiate peace with him at all, just order the army to cross the river. Once our army advances to the opposite side of the river, Cao Cao will send troops again when he gets the news. With Lu Bu alone, what chances does he have against the Yuan and Cao families?"

What Feng Ji said was not worth Yuan Shao's consideration.

But Yuan Shao faintly felt that this was inappropriate.

Sure enough, Feng Ji's words fell to the ground, and the judge went on to say, "I think my lord should make peace with Lu Bu."

"Zhengnan tell me what you mean." Yuan Shao signaled him to continue.

The judge said: "Although Lu Bu is strong, how can he be stronger than Cao Cao? My lord is now devoted to attacking Lu Bu, but Cao Cao has retreated from Xudu. When the battle between our army and Lu Bu is critical, he will suddenly send troops to Yecheng. Dare I ask my lord, who else can resist?"

What Yuan Shao was worried about was exactly what the judge said.

He nodded but did not respond, and the judge went on to say: "My lord should also know that compared to Lu Bu, Cao Cao is the real confidant. When the time comes when he has to fight with Lu Bu, I think that as long as the lord takes advantage of him Be careful, if you send troops to Xuzhou suddenly, with Lu Bu's ability, you probably won't be able to respond in time. It shouldn't be difficult for our army to take Xuzhou in one fell swoop. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of troops in Hebei, and although there are many troops under Lu Bu, most of them are They are all remnants of defeated generals who were chased and killed. Those people can eat and drink in the army, but if we let them fight to the death, I’m afraid it’s not that simple.”

"What Zhengnan said happened to be in line with my intention." Yuan Shao nodded, his eyes swept over the faces of the others: "What do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Guo Tu immediately flattered: "Actually, it doesn't matter what we say, the important thing is that the Lord has already made a plan. With the strength of Hebei, it is definitely not difficult to defeat the mere Xuzhou. Now the Lord What I was worried about was that Cao Cao suddenly sent troops to Yecheng in the process of defeating Xuzhou. Although Cao Cao's men were not as good as Hebei's, but he has been fighting in the north and south for so many years, and his soldiers are all capable of fighting. My thoughts and my lord It should be similar, that is, stabilize Lu Bu first, and strengthen Hebei after the army returns. In the future, we can make a decision according to the needs, whether we should attack Cao Cao or Lu Bu first."

"Any other opinions?" Guo Tu flattered Yuan Shao without leaving any traces, and it was very useful to shoot Yuan Shao. He smiled and glanced at the faces of other staff members: "Gongze has already said what he meant. Who else disagrees with him?"

Yuan Shao had already made it clear that he agreed with Guo Tu, who would refute it in person?
Everyone glanced at each other, and one person stood up and said, "I think if Lu Bu really intends to talk about peace, my lord might as well discuss it with him, take down Xu Du first, and then plot against Lu Bu after defeating Cao Cao. More secure?"

The person who spoke was not very good looking.

He has a head with date stones, and the goatee beard floating on his chin makes people feel that this person is very cunning.

The person who spoke was none other than Yuan Shao's staff member Xu You.

After hearing what Xu You said, Yuan Shao frowned slightly, and asked the others, "What do you think?"

Everyone glanced at each other again, and said again: "I think what Ziyuan said is not unreasonable. Earlier, Cao Cao joined forces with the lord to try to defeat Lu Bu first. But he not only failed to defeat Lu Bu, but was blocked twice in Dangshan. Cao Cao lost a lot the first time, so we didn't say anything more, but the second time he and Lu Bu didn't have a decent decisive battle at all, but still led the army to retreat, which is hard to understand. I always feel that So, Cao Cao's retreat is not just because Lu Bu is difficult to defeat, but the deeper meaning should be to drag our army to the Xuzhou battlefield, and he will decide who to attack when he chooses the time."

Yuan Shao had suspected that Cao Cao had these intentions for a long time, and he was even more puzzled when the judge said so.

Frowning only, Yuan Shao thought for a moment before he said to everyone: "What Zhengnan said has always been what I was worried about. If we continue to entangle with Lu Bu here, it will only be Cao Cao who will benefit in the end. Instead of giving They make wedding dresses, and they may even put their own family property on it, why don't I test Lu Bu first to see if he has the heart to join Hebei in the crusade against Cao Cao."

"I don't think there will be any difficulty in convincing Lu Bu." It was still Guo Tu, who flattered Yuan Shao and said, "In the world today, there is no one who dares to be called a hero except the Lord. Cao Cao and Lu Bu back then With the hatred of Xiapi, he wanted to destroy Lu Bu, and Lu Bu also wanted to get rid of Cao Cao. In terms of strength, Cao Cao is much stronger than Lu Bu. With the military strength of Xuzhou and Yangzhou, it is impossible to defeat Cao Cao. My lord He proposed to unite with Lu Bu, why would he not agree?"

When Guo Tu said this, everyone agreed, and Yuan Shao also felt that going to see Lu Bu the next day might change the alliance.

Yuan Shao wanted to gain benefits from Xuzhou when he allied with Cao Cao to attack Lu Bu.

Once Yuan Jun occupies part of Xuzhou, he will not have to suffer from the natural danger of the Yellow River when he crusades against Cao Cao in the future.

But now it seems that joining Cao Cao's crusade against Lu Bu will either be a protracted battle, or it will be impossible to succeed in the war.

He is still confronting Lu Bu here, and Cao Cao has already retreated to Xudu.

Once he started a war with Lu Bu and the two sides fell into a stalemate, Cao Cao should have to deal with Hebei first.

After all, Hebei is strong and Xuzhou is weak, no matter who they are, they all know which side should be attacked first.

"The public is right." Yuan Shao didn't ask anyone else this time. He said to everyone: "I have made a decision. When I meet Lu Bu tomorrow, I will propose a joint crusade against Cao Cao. Lu Bu has shown sincerity, but I can't Nothing said."

"My lord's sincerity is much greater than that of Lu Bu." Guo Tu bowed and said to Yuan Shao, "With the mighty Hebei uniting with the weak Xuzhou, I don't think Lu Bu should have the possibility to refuse."

Everyone also echoed, the only one with a bad face was Feng Ji.

When he went to the other side of the Yellow River to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender, not only did he not meet anyone, but he also ended up desperate to get it back.

Now that Lu Bu just arrived in Yanjin, he actually proposed to meet Yuan Shao.

His intention couldn't be more obvious, it was nothing more than discussing with Yuan Shao to stop the army.

He went to the south bank of the Yellow River for no reason, but he didn't accomplish anything, instead he ended up coming back in despair. No matter what Feng Ji thinks, he feels bad in his heart!
