The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 346 Lu Bu leads the army again

What Pang Tong said was as little as January and as much as March, of course, he was not just saying it casually, but it was true.

If Cao Cao and Sun Quan had remained unmoved and allowed Wei Tao to recuperate and recover his strength, then it would be impossible for them to be the heroes of one side.

Even if there are endless civil strife in their territory, as long as they have the heart to dominate the world, they have to do so.

In contrast, Cao Cao's situation is obviously much better than Sun Quan's.

After all, although Ma Liang and Ma Su came to Cao Cao's mainland in the name of meeting the emperor, they joined forces with those who were still loyal to the Han to fight against Cao Cao, and wanted to turn everything about Cao Cao into the emperor's possession.

But Cao Cao, after all, Cao Cao, is not only superior in politics, but also possesses strong strength. With the guarantee of his strength, even Liu Xie under the world dare not force Cao Cao too much now.

So although it is a bit troublesome, for Cao Cao, it is not possible to delay it.

The reason why he stayed still before was because Cao Cao himself had to take a break in the battle with Sun Quan, and Cao Cao also wanted to see if Sun Quan would really be restrained by Shanyue. This was a temporary truce.

Today's Sun Quan is indeed restrained by Shanyue. In fact, Shanyue doesn't need Wei Tao to contact him at all. He just has the idea of ​​going down the mountain to seize the territory.

After all, the number of people that can be supported in the mountains and forests is limited, and it is really not suitable for large tribes to thrive in the mountains and forests, so every time Shanyue grows to a certain extent, he has to go down the mountain.

It can be said that if someone provides food, grass and weapons to Shanyue, even if Sun Quan responds with all his strength, he may inevitably lose his territory.

Barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. For Shanyue people, life is really not worth much.

Fortunately, Wei Tao didn't do that, and Cao Cao didn't do that either.

Therefore, Sun Quan was able to maintain his victory over Shanyue with all his strength to deal with it, but Sun Quan's troops were also involved a lot, and it was impossible to separate them all at once.

Under such circumstances, Cao Cao had no choice but to send troops alone, and following his orders, a large army came straight to Xiangyang.

This time Cao Cao did not personally lead the army. Ma Di and others became more active in Xuchang, especially visiting Xun Yu several times to discuss affairs, which made Cao Cao also worried.

The Son of Heaven also has a criminal record. Once his subordinates are attracted by him, the fire in the rear will be unimaginable.

So Cao Cao had no choice but to send someone, and the leader was none other than Lu Bu.

It's just that this time is different from before, Lu Bu is no longer just a fierce general, he can only go into battle on his own, but he can't command how many soldiers he has.

After all, Lu Bu was notorious, and he was known as a house slave with three surnames. No matter how magnanimous Cao Cao was, he had to guard against it, not to mention that although Cao Cao was magnanimous, he was also suspicious.

But this time it was different, Lu Bu was really leading the army, and Lu Bu could control his own troops, and this part of the troops was still cavalry.

Even if they are not the Liangzhou cavalry that ruled the world in the past, nor are they the most powerful tiger and leopard cavalry under Cao Cao's command, they are still cavalry after all.

In the past, Lu Bu was called the number one general in the world, not only because of his bravery and invincibility, but also because he was also unrivaled in commanding cavalry.

Of course, the same is true of Wei Tao today. Not only is his personal martial arts unparalleled in the world, but he also has a record of victories in hundreds of battles.

Moreover, Lu Bu did not come alone, and many of Cao Cao's confidant generals also led the army, and this strength was not weak.

"Cao Mengde really moved, and it's rare to give Lv Bu the power again, which shows that he is also very afraid of me!"

Wei Tao smiled wryly. At the beginning, he wanted to join hands with Cao Cao, not only to help the Han family to pacify the world, but also to expel foreign enemies and keep the great Han in peace forever. How did he think that he would come to this step in the end?
"That's all for Lu Bu's bravery. I didn't expect Cao Mengde to match him with such a counselor. I'm afraid it will be difficult for our army to do it."

What Wei Tao said was really not a lie.

There is still one more day to accompany Lu Bu, a 'famous' person, or a famous person in history, Sima Yi.

"The lord is Yanna Sima Zhongda? Yu has also heard of this person's name. It is said that he is from the Sima family. Although he is young, he is already well-known and highly praised by the people of the time. He can be said to be the leader of the younger generation. Could it be this? People are also like Zhuge Kongming, have the ability to manage the world?"

Zhou Yu couldn't help asking when he heard that Wei Tao was so cautious.

In this era, people like Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi are destined to be unknown. In fact, Sima Yi has long been praised by the people of the time. Under Cao Cao, he is like a fish in water and is quite appreciated.

Of course, if it's just that, Zhou Yu shouldn't pay much attention to it, but seeing Wei Tao's expression makes Zhou Yu a little curious.

It wasn't just Zhou Yu, Pang Tong also looked over at the side. Although Pang Tong would not be conspiring for Wei Tao at this time, he would also be somewhat curious about the appearance of someone with extraordinary resourcefulness.

"Hehe... I really didn't know what this Sima Zhongda was capable of, but both Ji Chang and You Chang sent me a message, saying that this Sima Zhongda is quite extraordinary, and that he has the ability to look like a wolf, Gu Ying, etc. Mastery, handles all kinds of affairs with ease, often within an hour and three quarters, and Ji Chang and Xiao Chang have to admire him."

Wei Tao answered slowly. In fact, Ma Liang and Ma Su did reply to mention Sima Yi's talent, but it was not as powerful as Wei Tao said.

"Gong Jin, you should also know that since you have the appearance of a wolf and a eagle, you are a talent that cannot be subdued. It can be said that if there is no Cao Cao, I am afraid that such people will not be used. But it is also because of this, the face One has to be careful about this.”

Hearing that Sima Yi was praised so much by Wei Tao, even Pang Tong couldn't help showing a sense of superiority in his eyes, but for Zhou Yu, he just nodded slightly, but he would not have any thoughts.

This is Zhou Yu, who is magnanimous by nature, and will not say that he is jealous because of his talent.

"However, if Sima Yi really has this ability, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to use his tricks."

Zhou Yu looked at Pang Tong who was on the sidelines.

Although Pang Tong was quite arrogant, and even felt that he didn't take the people of the world seriously, he was not a stupid person, so he naturally understood Zhou Yu's meaning.

If victory can be ensured, or if it is more beneficial to use strategy, then Zhou Yu will agree with Wei Tao's use of strategy. If it is only for the purpose of subduing Pang Tong, then it may be self-defeating, and Zhou Yu will definitely not allow it.

Pang Tong has no such qualifications.

"I naturally understand Mr. Gongjin's intentions. A conspiracy is a conspiracy, and a conspiracy is also a conspiracy. The so-called conspiracy is only for the final victory!"

Pang Tong quickly said that he likes to play tricks, but it doesn't mean that Pang Tong is indulging in tricks. He always remembers that the one who seeks the trick is always the ultimate victory.

"General Meng valued it very much. Since Tong is now in the general's army, he would naturally be willing to serve the general for a while. If there is a plan, the general will listen as long as he is willing, or he will not listen. I don't know what the general thinks? "

"It can be said that it is a great honor to be helped by Shi Yuan!"

Wei Tao smiled slightly, and naturally understood that at this time, Pang Tong at most wanted to help Zhou Yu perform a series of tricks in history.

Wei Tao believes that after this battle, he can confirm his thoughts and get Pang Tong's sincere assistance.

It has to be said that Lu Bu arrived very quickly, or since the defeat in the previous battle, Lu Bu has a resentment in his heart!

He hated Wei Tao, who used to be a small soldier under his command, but grew up to be able to stand side by side with him one day, and even seized the honor of being the number one general in the world.

This made Lu Bu feel ashamed and hated. It can even be said that since that defeat, Lu Bu has been working hard to practice his martial arts like a hardworking man.

You know, since he recognized Ding Yuan as his adoptive father, he has experienced so many ups and downs in the world, but he has never worked so hard. I am afraid that he has made such efforts when he was learning martial arts.

Why is this so? Obviously, it is to fight Wei Tao again. Now that the opportunity comes, Lu Bu naturally leads the army quickly, no matter how much other people try to persuade him, it is useless.

Soon, Lu Bu led his troops to the city of Xiangyang, unable to settle down in his own camp, so he immediately sent his soldiers to call for formation.

Lu Bu couldn't help but want to fight Wei Tao!
But unlike Lu Bu, Wei Tao really didn't have any anxiety this time. When Lu Bu called the battle, Wei Tao's mind was elsewhere.

"Liu Bei hasn't made any moves so far?"

Wei Tao knew that Liu Bei would definitely want to make a comeback. Regarding Jingzhou, Liu Bei should not give up so easily, but was just waiting for Cao Cao and Sun Quan's actions.

But Wei Tao obviously didn't expect Liu Bei to be so calm this time, and he didn't take any action.

"Forget it, since Liu Bei has nothing to do, then it's time to deal with Cao Jun first. Cao Jun came here because of Lu Fengxian! With Lu Fengxian's bravery, getting the help of other counselors may not be worse than Cao Cao himself coming. How much, I don’t know if Gongjin and Shiyuan have the law?”

Hearing this question, Pang Tong smiled indifferently. After all, he only said to help Wei Tao, and he hadn't returned his heart yet.

But at this time, Zhou Yu, who had been silently meditating with his head down, raised his head to look at Wei Tao and said slowly.

"My lord, I have a way to do it!"

"Oh?"

Hearing what Zhou Yu said, not only Wei Tao, but also Pang Tong, who didn't care much, couldn't help being curious.
