Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 67
"What? Lu Bu suddenly rushed out from behind our army, and our army was caught off guard and suffered a disastrous defeat. What happened to Yuan Qing and the others?" Li Song asked the guard kneeling on the ground in front of him with a look of disbelief.

"Yes, my lord! When Mr. Pei and the others were fighting, smoke rose from the city, and Lu Bu suddenly led his army to attack behind our army, causing serious injuries to Pei Yuanqing and the other three adults. They have been carried down for treatment now." Said hastily.

"Chen Gong, I didn't expect that I would be fooled by you, it's really hateful!" Li Song patted the table angrily, hating Chen Gong even more.

"Go! Lead the way ahead and take me to see them." Li Song suppressed the anger in his heart.

"No!" The guard hurriedly responded, and when he got up to lead Li Song, a guard came in from outside the tent.

"Report! Report to the lord! General Xue sent someone to report to the lord if there is an urgent military situation." The guard knelt down on one knee.

"Rengui sent someone to report the emergency military situation? Let him in quickly." Li Song suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Xue Rengui must have someone bring him bad news.

"No!" The guard replied, got up and went out, and brought the person. Li Song signaled the guard just now to go down first, and the guard clasped his fists and retreated.

"I pay homage to the lord!" The man bowed when he saw Li Song, saluting respectfully.

"Get up and talk, what important military information Rengui asked you to bring, tell me quickly." When Li Song saw the messenger, his anxiety became more serious, and he urged.

"My lord! General Xue ordered me to travel day and night to report to my lord. Cao Cao let him run away during the escort."

"Now I have gone to Juancheng. When I came to meet the lord, I sent troops to attack our army." Xue Rengui's messenger said.

"What?" Li Song was surprised twice in one day. He didn't expect that something happened here, and Xue Rengui's side also went wrong.

"How about the casualties of our army? Is it serious?" Li Song asked hastily.

"Return to the lord! There are no casualties in our army, but Cao Hong, Yu Jin and others who were detained by Cao Cao's department were rescued by Cao Cao."

"General Xue, ask the Lord for instructions! What should I do next, and please tell the Lord, so I can go back and report to the General if I have a humble position." Xue Rengui's messenger said.

"You travel day and night, and you are tired all the way. Go down and rest first! I will send another person to tell Rengui what to do." Li Song said.

"No! I will resign from my humble position!" The messenger hesitated for a while, and finally saluted Li Song, got up and left.

"Come here!" After the envoy sent by Xue Rengui withdrew, Li Song called out, and a personal guard came in from outside, knelt down on one knee and said, "What orders do you have, my lord!"

"Send Meteor Horse Detective quickly, and hurry up for eight hundred miles! Tell Xue Rengui to surround Juancheng, and no matter what, the people in Juancheng will not be able to leave Juancheng."

"I'm worried that they will unite with Lu Bu!" Li Song said, dealing with a combination of Lu Bu and Chen Gong has already made it difficult for him to deal with. If Cao Cao is uniting with them, it will be bad.

Just, will they unite?Li Song was puzzled, but he didn't dare to try it. If they join forces, Cao Cao is good at using troops, and Xun Yu, Chen Gong and other counselors make suggestions, he really can't stand it.

"No!" The guard also knew that the matter was urgent, and after cupping his fists and saluting, he stood up and prepared to leave the camp.

"Slow down!" Li Song stretched out his hand to stop him, and he hurriedly saluted, "My lord! What else can I order?"

"In addition, send someone to rush back to Bingzhou [-] li, and let the military division come here." Li Song said, just in case, Li Song decided to call Liu Bowen and Xu Maogong.

After saluting, the personal guard retreated, and sent someone to Xue Rengui, Liu Bowen, and Xu Maogong to convey Li Song's latest order.

When Li Song hurriedly sent someone to deliver the letter, Cao Cao and Xun Yu were discussing important matters in Juancheng.

"Now, apart from Juancheng, Fan County and Dong'e, other places in Yanzhou have either fallen into the hands of Lu Bu or Li Song."

"And I, Cao Cao, were captured alive. If it weren't for Wen Ruo, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back, Wen Ruo! Tell me, what should our army do in the future." Cao Cao said to Xun Yu.

"Duke Ming! For the present plan! The only way is to join forces with Lu Bu to resist Li Song's Bingzhou Army."

"Lü Bu is brave and foolhardy! Even with Chen Gong's support, it is difficult to accomplish anything. Our army will unite with him. After driving away Li Song, it will not be difficult to regain Yanzhou."

"If we join forces with Li Song, we will undoubtedly seek skin from the tiger. It may be difficult to regain Yanzhou in the future, and it may even be annexed by it." Xun Yu said.

"So, good or bad, but can Lu Bu promise our army to join forces with him against Li Song?" Cao Cao said uncertainly. Cao Cao still knew a thing or two about Lu Bu's character.

"Minggong don't have to worry, isn't there Chen Gong and Chen Gongtai beside Lu Bu! He will definitely persuade Lu Bu to join forces with our army. After all, it is a matter of mutual benefit."

"Otherwise, they will be wiped out sooner or later. Lu Bu doesn't understand the truth, but Chen Gong definitely understands it." Cheng Yu, another adviser under Cao Cao, said, which undoubtedly gave Cao Cao a reassurance.

Cao Cao also understands that whether it is him or Lu Bu, if they work alone, there is only one end, and that is to be defeated by each of them. Only by uniting can there be a chance of winning. foreign.

"I don't know who is better to let go?" Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and Cheng Yu and said.

"Yu, no talent! I would like to go to Puyang City and lobby Lu Bu to join forces with our army to deal with Li Song." Xun Yu bowed to Cao Cao.

"Wen Ruo! How can you go to take risks yourself? What if something happens?" Cao Cao said, holding Xun Yu's hand.

"Now is the critical moment, please let me go lobby Lu Bu." Xun Yu begged again.

"Okay, I'll leave Wenruo to do this joint matter, please accept a salute from Cao Cao." Cao Cao looked at the resolute Xun Yu, clasped his fists and saluted.

"Ming Gong speaks seriously! These are all matters within Xun Yu's responsibility, so it's not too late! I'm going to Puyang City to meet Lu Bu and discuss the alliance." Xun Yu said.

Cao Cao sent Xun Yu out of Juancheng, and on the other side, the Meteor Horse Detective sent by Li Song rushed to the place where Xue Rengui was camping, and when he conveyed Li Song's order to Xue Rengui, Xun Yu just arrived in Puyang City.

Relying on his three-inch tongue, Xun Yu kept dealing with Chen Gong around Lv Bu, and Lv Bu finally agreed to join Cao Cao to deal with Li Song.

As for the grievances between them, they have been put aside for the time being, and the grievances between them will be settled after Li Song's problem is resolved.

The alliance between Lu Bu and Cao Cao was formally established, and Xue Rengui surrounded the entire Juancheng. The two sides fought several times in Juancheng, all of which were small fights to test each other's strength.
