Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 472 Battle in Xuzhou
These days, Liu Yu was busy dealing with Tian Feng, so naturally he didn't pay much attention to other things, but it didn't mean he didn't know about other things.

For example, the battle between Lingbi and Huaiyin would be reported to him almost every once in a while.He also watched, but because he was too busy, he didn't care.In addition, it was also because the situation over there was relatively stable, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Now that this side is stabilizing, it shouldn't be possible to fight for a while, so he turned his attention to Lingbi and Huaiyin.In the final analysis, his side is just to attract Yuan Shang's attention, while Lingbi and Huaiyin are the main battlefields; and Xuzhou is the reason why he launched this war.Therefore, when he was free at the moment, he immediately read the previous information again.

Indeed, no accidents happened, mainly because Jushou, Lu Su, and Xu Shu were the ones in charge of Xuzhou.It's not that Lu Su and Xu Shu are inferior to Jushou, but that Jushou is the defending side, occupying a favorable location and harmony, and the conditions are much better than the attacking side.

Liu Yu frowned upon seeing this information.Before, he was busy here, but there was nothing wrong with him. He felt lucky, otherwise, it would not be a multi-front battle.But at this moment, he has settled down on this side, but there is still no movement on the other side.This made him upset, thinking that he spent a lot of effort to attract the attention of the enemy army here, but he didn't take the opportunity to capture Xuzhou over there. Doesn't it mean that his efforts were wasted?
"Is this really troublesome?"

Liu Yu rubbed his temples, smiled wryly, and looked down at the information again.After a while, he was no longer distressed. It turned out that the following information explained the situation because Ju Shou gave them no chance.

In fact, both Lu Su and Xu Shu have attacked Xuzhou, even killed Xuzhou soldiers, and seized a large area of ​​land.However, what's the use of these, as long as the Pi is not lost, as long as Jushou is still in the Pi, then Liu Yujun has nothing to do.

Let your means reach the sky, and I will stand still.

After reading the information, Liu Yu rubbed his temples again, but he didn't have any thoughts in his mind.

"Forget it, it's getting late, let's discuss it with Shi Yuan tomorrow." Liu Yu got up, blew out the oil lamp, and went straight to rest.

The next day, Liu Yu got up as usual, and he was not in a hurry to find Pang Tong, but dealt with the military first, and then properly handled the post-war affairs.After finishing these things, another day passed quietly, and before I knew it, the sun was already fading away.

Liu Yu had been thinking about the Xuzhou matter all day, and now that he was done with the matter at hand, he finally had time to discuss with Pang Tong.

In the main tent, the food and wine were ready, Liu Yu was not in a hurry to move his chopsticks, but waited for Pang Tong while drinking.After a while, Pang Tong walked in leisurely. Obviously, he had nothing to do all day and drank a lot of wine.

"Well, Pang Shiyuan, I've been busy all day, but you've been drinking leisurely all day." Seeing Pang Tong come in, Liu Yu couldn't help cursing with a smile.

Pang Tong knew that Liu Yu was easy-going in private and often took the initiative to joke.Others didn't dare to talk to Liu Yu, but he didn't have any scruples, "Hehe, my son, such a trivial matter is not as important as wine. My son, let me tell you, this wine is a good thing..."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about your wine." Liu Yu rolled his eyes, waved his hand to signal Pang Tong to stop, and then continued, "Come on, sit down and eat, I have something to discuss with you."

Pang Tong finally got serious and stopped joking, because he knew that Liu Yu was always very serious when he was doing business.

Liu Yu was organizing his words, and Pang Tong was waiting for Liu Yu to speak.Therefore, in the big tent, there was a moment of silence, only the sound of two people eating and drinking.

After eating a few mouthfuls of food and drinking a few mouthfuls of wine, Liu Yu finally said: "Shiyuan, Xuzhou's progress is slow, and Zijing and Yuanzhi have nothing to do. I wonder what you can do?"

"I'm not in Xuzhou, I don't know the specific situation, so I can't do anything about it." Pang Tong smiled bitterly, secretly thinking that he is not a god, and then said helplessly.

Liu Yu was a little disappointed, but he also knew that Pang Tong was telling the truth, so he could only say: "Forget it, wait a little longer and see if there is a turnaround. Well, let's not talk about business, you and I have a good drink tonight."

In the next few days, Liu Yu focused on the Xuzhou matter, because Ying Yang was very quiet and there were no surprises at all.But to Liu Yu's disappointment, there was no turning point in Xuzhou. Even if Lu Su and Xu Shu joined forces to attack, Ju Shou couldn't hold on, which made Lu and Xu's plan fail.

No matter how disappointed, Liu Yu had no choice but to think hard, and at the same time asked Pang Tong from time to time.He didn't think of any tricks, and Pang Tong offered several tricks, but unfortunately none of them were of much use.

On this day, the disappointed Liu Yu finally heard good news, which came from Xuzhou.

The news is about Zhuge Liang.

"Haha, Shi Yuan, you did a good job." The news came from Pang Tong's family letter, so it was Pang Tong who informed Liu Yu, and Liu Yu knew about it.

In fact, Zhuge Liang was only vaguely mentioned in the family letter, but who Pang Tong and Liu Yu were, one could understand the meaning at a glance—Zhuge Liang couldn't possibly seek refuge with Liu Qi.

Enough is enough, it is enough to know the news.Liu Yu didn't expect Zhuge Liang to take refuge in him, but as long as he didn't take refuge in Liu Qi and spoil his plan, he was satisfied.

After Pang Tong's family letter came, Liu Ye's secret letter also came.Zhuge Liang was also mentioned in this secret letter, but it was mentioned briefly, it only showed that Zhuge Liang would not seek refuge with Liu Qi.

This is Liu Yu's question, otherwise it would be impossible to mention such trivial matters in the secret letter.

This secret letter is mainly to report on the expedition to Shu, saying that they have almost prepared, such as food and grass, military equipment, generals, etc., just waiting for news from Zhang Song from Xishu.

This is a good thing, but Liu Yu is still a little worried, mainly because of Zhang Song.Because he thought of Zhang Song's death in history, he was killed when the news was revealed.To be honest, he didn't care whether Zhang Song died or not, he was afraid that his scheme would be exposed.

However, he could do nothing but pray secretly.

It was probably because the calmness of the past few days was a bit scary, but these days, good news came flooding in.Not to mention the matter of Jingzhou's attack on Shu, even the matter of Xuzhou has made progress.

It turned out that Jushou only defended but not attacked, and was finally impeached by other ministers.Jushou was not a close friend of Yuan Shang, and was impeached by a close friend of Yuan Shang, how could Yuan Shang not reprimand him.

Thanks to Tian Feng and the help of other ministers, otherwise Yuan Shang might have withdrawn his official position.If Yuan Shang really did that, Liu Yu is confident that he can take Xuzhou quickly.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu had an idea, secretly thinking that this seems to be a way.It's just that he couldn't think clearly for a while, and only had a rough idea in his mind.But he is not in a hurry, he has some ideas, he believes that Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others will definitely come up with a plan.
