Lu's relatives

Chapter 301 The Great Chaos Begins

The actions of Lu Bujun in Qingzhou really slowed down the forces of Bingzhou, Yanzhou Yuan Tan, and Cao Cao who were actively "preparing for war".Even Yuan Xi of Jizhou, who originally didn't want to get involved in this muddy water, was a little overwhelmed by this sudden situation.

With more than [-] Yuan Shu's two armies fighting unannounced, the news of the brazen raid on Xuzhou spread. Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi admired their uncle, who had never dealt with their father Yuan Shao very much, for his courage. At the same time that he dared to wrestle with Lu Bu, he suddenly realized that the "throne" of Yuan's patriarch may not actually fall on his head after his father Yuan Shao left, no matter whether it is seniority, strength or The "guts" that dare to despise everything, it seems that the two brothers combined may not be comparable.It even made Yuan Tan, who was originally full of enthusiasm, suddenly want to back down a bit.

After all, no matter how arrogant Yuan Tan is, he is still not stupid enough, and he has his own set of "algorithms".Yuan Tan dared to tease Cao Cao before, largely because of the situation in Yanzhou.To the west of Yanzhou, there are two thieves, Li Jue and Guo Si, who have just "withdrawn" from Chang'an, and Zhang Ji, who has occupied Wancheng for a long time, are eyeing them. Cao Cao also encountered the difficulties that Lu Bu encountered when he first entered Qingzhou. The territory suddenly expanded by nearly twice, and there was a serious shortage of officials and troops.Only in this situation did Yuan Tan have the confidence to be confident that Cao Cao would, in this situation, perhaps also accommodate himself as Yuan Shao had done before.

But now the situation has changed.Yuan Shuzi, who had a lively mind, actually got Xuzhou's idea after he got the food and grass hoarded in several counties around Guangling and Xiapi, as well as countless weapons and armor supported by other "foreign aid".For no reason, it left Cao Cao with a lot of strategic depth in the rear.And the few people in Wancheng have not yet settled in on internal issues, and there is still Liu Biao from the south of Wancheng who is "watching" all the time.In other words, the final result of Yuan Tan's plan that he thought was seamless this time is likely to make Bingzhou's army powerful, alone with his father's old friend, who was once affectionately called "Uncle Cao" in Yanzhou. Mu officially met.Yuan Tan is a listener, but there is still a bit of self-knowledge about the difference in strength between the two.Although now between Bing and Yanzhou, because of Yuan Tan's mania, there is already a situation where he has no choice but to attack, but because Yuan Shu invaded Xuzhou and provoked Lu Bu to send troops, it is so that no matter whether it is Yuan Tan or Cao Cao, They all subconsciously slowed down their "pace", and unanimously focused most of their attention on the matter of Lu and Yuan's meeting in Xuzhou.

Yuan Tan's Bingzhou is far away and needless to say, Cao Cao actually has a lot of "feelings" for Xuzhou.After all, his father Cao Song almost gave his life there.And everyone in the world knows that although Xuzhou was the place of the Four World Wars, it is actually a first-class state because there are few wars.With the development of population, land, and commerce, Xuzhou is nothing more than a granary and a cash bank in the Central Plains. In the eyes of the surrounding princes, it is like a piece of fat. Who would not be greedy?

Seeing that Qingzhou has gained a firm foothold.Moreover, people with a discerning eye can see that Lu Bujun is extremely rich because of the benefits of Xuzhou's salt industry, and because the sea salt produced in Xuzhou has almost occupied the lifeline of the big man's salt industry in terms of quality and price. And the Chuanshu Well Salt and Chi Yan, which are known as Tianfu, almost stepped into the mud.If one is used to eating fine and white sea salt, who will touch the bitter and silty well salt again?Merchants like Mi's family, who were originally only ruling the roost in the state, also ranked among the top of the wealthy merchants due to their leadership of this "big business", which shows how profitable they are.

Salt and iron are the foundation of the country, and an army that cannot guarantee the supply of salt will not have combat effectiveness at all.So much so that although other people still don't approve of Lu Bu's sudden ascension to high positions and the official worship of the Hussar General, the princes from all walks of life who have been caught by Qingzhou's lifeblood unknowingly are actually not sure of their strength. , before occupying an overwhelming advantage over Qingzhou, no one would be foolish enough to provoke Lu Bu, who is still relatively stable.That is to say, Yuan Shu, who was bewitched by the legendary artifact, only wanted to eat meat and didn't think about whether he would be beaten for it. He stupidly moved over to beat Xuzhou, who was obviously under the influence of Lu Bu.

This is great.The tiger is angry!Are you dumbfounded?Is there no way out?Regardless of the quality of the soldiers controlled by the two families, in terms of numbers alone, this time Lv Bu led Qingzhou's troops to [-], plus Xuzhou's own [-]-odd army, the total force was almost [-], almost more than Yuan Shu's. There will be a lot more of the two armies.And in terms of combat power, there is no comparison at all.In addition to Yuan Shu's thousands of veterans who followed from Nanyang to Huaisi, but were used by Yuan Shu to make a good deal, whether it was the army that Yuan Shu relied on to maintain his strong "confidence" or the soldiers led by Sun Ce, They were all newly recruited recruits, and even Sun Ce recruited a considerable part of the family private soldiers of the broken family in Jiangdong, which was more or less forbidden, and the soldiers led by Yuan Shu who planned to attack Xuzhou , but most of them are refugees who can only eat military rations in severe drought years.Moreover, Yuan Shu only cared about pursuing the prestige in numbers, and even spread his "kindness" widely, including many old and weak.To be honest, just such an army, calling it a mob is flattering Yuan Shu.Yuan Shu still wanted to rely on these people to capture Xuzhou as a foundation. Even Ji Ling, the vanguard general of his own family, frowned after seeing these so-called volunteers from the Yuan family.But now Yuan Shu couldn't listen to even half a word of advice. As a general, Ji Ling could only give up when he saw that his words were blocked.

The speed of the "elite army" of Yuan Shu's army was only ten miles a day, but Lu Bu's army was the best of the best for Yuan Shu's sake.The world-renowned elite warriors alone include the three teams of Siege Camp, Xiandeng Camp, and Lu Bu's personal guard wolf cavalry. If you add the Danyang elite soldiers in Xiapi City, it is indeed enough for Yuan Shu, the two troops who attacked Xuzhou, to have a good drink.This is not counting the Qingzhou barracks soldiers who have been recognized in Lu Bu's army as not weaker than those in the trapped camp.

The so-called soldiers are expensive and fast.After holding back for a long time, the soldiers of Lu Bu's army naturally interpreted the true meaning of this term very well.Since leaving Linzi, the distance of more than 300 miles, it took only one day to rush to the city of Jinan. Tong couldn't bear the loneliness for a long time, and he made a change early, and Cheng Lian, who was always waiting for soldiers and horses, made a reconciliation.

However, among the Han Guang brothers led by Tong Chenglian who came to welcome the arrival of Lu Bu's army, Qin Xu locked his eyes on the three old officials of the Yuan family who once threatened to concentrate on civil affairs and no longer participate in the war. .It seems that Yuan Shao died suddenly because of this strange thing, and Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi "expelled" Yuan Shang from the three places of his family. One occupied Bingzhou and the other retreated to Jizhou. Youzhou, which was obtained by Gongsun Zan, who was about to be overwhelmed, gave up in vain at the critical moment, despite the "Youzhou Shepherd" Liu He and Xianyufu who were already hard-core allies of the Yuan family and had been tied to the same boat for a long time. The Han and Hu allied forces were brutally abused by the three brothers Liu Bei who had recovered.The counterattack was near Jixian County, the seat of Youzhou, lingering on its last breath.

In the unanimous opinion of Xu You, Shenpei, and Fengji, Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Yuan Shao, who is used to being the favorite of the Jizhou military, doesn't know what's going on. Inheriting Yuan Shao's inheritance, he ignored his own allies' repeated pleadings for help, and without knowing what the situation was, he picked Cao Cao, who was also afraid of Yuan Shao's morale in his prime and did not want to be easily provoked. .It's hard to know whether it's better for people to say that Yuan Tan's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, or it's better to laugh at the eldest son of Yuan Shao who is no longer under the protection of Yuan Shao.In short, these three old ministers who were in Lu Ying and their hearts were in Yuan really gave up their hearts.

It has been more than a year since I was "arrested" and came to Jinan to work as a "coolie".These three old ministers of the Yuan family can be regarded as having witnessed the rise of Qingzhou with their own eyes.Walking step by step, flattening the Yellow Turban, controlling Xuzhou, and saving the emperor, people have to admire Lu Bu's good luck, but also witness that it is not easy for Lu Bu's prestige to come.

Although Xu You and the other three have their own advantages and disadvantages, they have had conflicts with each other before, and it can even be said that they are not very good at dealing with each other.But after more than a year of "calmness" and running-in, the rivalry between each other has faded a lot, and seeing that Qingzhou has not collapsed as quickly as before, I am anxious, and I originally planned to be a die-hard loyalist to the Yuan family. Also lively a lot.It's just that I didn't give Qin who was a "senior official" of Lu Bu's army a lot of good looks at the beginning, and now Qin Xu is the head of a state and has become Lu Bu's precious son-in-law. Worried that someone from Qin would give him and others small shoes to wear.Therefore, even though he had that thought, he could only shelve it temporarily.

Now that the hero of Hebei, Yuan Shao, is dead, the remaining members of the old Yuan family have all gone "crazy", and the three of them are also resourceful people. It is expected that the world of the big man may also be "guided" by the old Yuan family. Fuze" and more confusion.At this time, if I and others still do nothing, I am afraid that I can only add icing on the cake and make some foil after the pattern has been established.

It can't be said that as soon as this thought came out, it seemed to take root in the hearts of the three of them, and it spread wildly.

At the beginning, the three of them abandoned their old master Han Fu and went to Yuan Shao, didn't they just want to use what they had learned to show their ambitions, win a famous minister and general, and seal their wives and sons?How can it be embarrassing for the three great counselors whom Yuan Shaoyi used to be the leader of the alliance to sit in the Jinan country all day long and deal with extremely trivial political affairs?

Therefore, after receiving the news that Lu Bu sent troops to Linzi and would pass by Jinan to transfer troops, these three finally couldn't do it anymore.Anyway, it wasn't the first time. The three of them, who were unwilling to be mediocre, simply put the so-called face aside, and finally appeared in the team welcoming Lu Bu's arrival.
