Lu's relatives

Chapter 534 The world is turned upside down, chaotic wars attack ([-])

"Yuan Xi is going to be recommended by Cao Cao as the shepherd of Jizhou! With Yuan Xi's means and strength, Yuan Shang, the governor of Jizhou, is no match for his brother at all. It is almost a foregone conclusion that Jizhou will fall into the hands of Cao Cao. This is the end, what can we do?" In the mansion of the Great General in Linzi City, Lu Bu, who was already seriously injured, was sitting down on his knees with a livid face, eating the tea soup made by Yan's family who loved his son-in-law so much, and was furious at Qin Xu, who turned a deaf ear to Lu Bu's anger .

"My lord also said that this is the end of the matter, so what can I do!" Qin Xu rarely dared to make a joke in front of his father-in-law, who had a very predictable temper. His tone changed, and it meant something else.Seeing that Lu Bu was about to change his face again, he smiled shyly, changed the subject and said, "Cao Cao's move, I'm afraid he has already guessed the matter of Yuan Shang's sneaking into Xuchang to see the emperor privately. He is not willing to be manipulated like this, so he does not hesitate to push Yuan Xilai, who is not qualified to take this position regardless of his qualifications and strength, as a stepping stone, but... Yuan Xi is not a good stone to move!"

"Huh? What do you mean? Don't be fooled!" Lu Bu's attention was indeed attracted by Qin Xu's last words. After hearing the words, he thought about it for a while, but after a while, he waved his hands irritably and asked Qin Xu: " As far as someone knows, although Cao Cao has not ravaged the court like Dong Zhuo and Li Guo did at the time, ignoring the court guidelines, but he still acts in the name of the emperor in all his actions. He just recommended Yuan Xi as Jizhou Shepherd. Power, this doesn’t seem to be a difficult task, does it?”

"My lord's words are too tactful!" Qin Xu said with a smile, "If Cao Cao really puts his heart and soul into pushing Yuan Xi to this position, just like what my lord said, even if the emperor refuses, according to the current state of the court, he will It’s not surprising that someone Cao can also come up with the imperial decree of the emperor. However, if Cao Cao really wants to do this, then he is no longer Cao Cao!”

"Speak human words!" Lu Bu reprimanded lightly after being dizzy from Qin Xu's circling words.

"Speaking of which, my lord and Cao Cao have been dealing with each other for more than ten years. Is this elder brother the kind of stunned young man who just wants to win a breath and ignores it?" Qin Xu twitched the corner of his mouth, "threat" to Lu Bu Turning a deaf ear, he continued: "The reason why the Hebei affairs became chaotic was caused by the rivalry between the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi. If Cao Cao hated Yuan Tan in order to accept Yuan Xi, the final result is very likely. It's not just Jizhou that can't be obtained, even Bingzhou, which was not stable at the beginning, will be lost. Cao Cao is also a hero for a while, how can he not see this? Of course, unless he is between the two brothers of the old Yuan's family. Bowl water Duanping, treat the appointment of Dahan State Shepherd as a child's play, otherwise, this Hebei incident would never end so easily."

"Yuan Tan's son has already voted for Cao Cao, and Bingzhou has been taken over by Cao Cao's army for more than half of the time. Even if he is dissatisfied, he will never make such an action like you said? Otherwise, wouldn't he be burned?" Yes, so when thinking about problems, I also like to find another way.However, if Yuan Tan heard these words, he might feel a confidant.

"Look! My lord, you can figure it out, so why can't Cao Cao see it?" Qin Xu rolled his eyes rather cryptically, and before Lu Bu could react, he sped up his speech and said, "So! Most of the news from the Hebei side was deliberately done by Cao Cao. The purpose is to confuse other people's sights and achieve his ultimate goal."

"The ultimate goal? What is the goal? Also, what is a certain person can think of, but Cao Mengde can't see it?" Lu Bu vaguely understood Qin Xu's meaning, but it was obvious that his son-in-law just said something that made him uncomfortable. happy.

"My lord, calm down! What Xu meant was that Cao Cao could be as bold as my lord! He is just a scheming and cunning person! The reason why he made such a move must be because he knew what Yuan Shang had done, just like the dragon-slaying blade, which cut off his desire. Meddle in the back road of Jizhou, but there is no conclusive evidence to prove that we did it. That's why we came up with such a method. It's likely that he won't get it. I'd rather let Yuan Xi get it cheaply than let him I'm waiting for my wish; moreover, maybe it's to give Yuan Tan a try!" Seeing that Lu Bu had reacted so quickly, Qin Xu smiled and explained to Lu Bu the result of analyzing Hebei information with Jia Xu.

"Cheap Yuan Xi? Try Yuan Tan? Why did he, Cao Mengde, do this?" Lu Bu understood Qin Xu's words, and felt that Cao Cao's move was the most likely.Lv Bu's personal guard camp and trapped camp also have the same intelligence sources as the shadows of Jia Xu's command. In addition, the previous incidents made Hebei's wealthy Zhen family completely surrender, which is equivalent to giving Lv Bu's command an extra pair of eyes on Hebei all the time. s eyes.In fact, these intelligence sources under Lu Bu's command also sent back news recently, saying that after Cao Cao in Bingzhou wanted to recommend Yuan Xi as Jizhou pastor, his actions seemed a little strange. , At the same time, Yanzhou soldiers also changed defenses.Originally, Lu Bu was still wondering if this was a precursor to Cao Cao's move to speed up and gather the whole of Hebei. Now that Qin Xu said it, it made Lu Bu understand Cao Cao's intentions a little bit. "Cao Mengde is worthy of Xu Zijiang's comment on Yuedan back then!"

Now even Lu Bu could see that Cao Cao was planning to use the opportunity to retreat!The Hebei affairs were already entangled in a mess, and the forces of all parties were quite evenly matched. Thanks to Lu Bu's early withdrawal, he was not unable to extricate himself from being deeply involved.It is impossible for Cao Cao not to see that, rather than wasting time in Hebei, it is better to accept it as soon as it is good, firmly control Bingzhou in his hands, and sit and watch the changes in Hebei to wait for the right time.The incident in Jizhou this time is not so much an obstacle to Cao Cao, but rather a step to withdraw and retreat under the premise of Cao Cao's unhappiness.It's no wonder that Lu Bu has such an exclamation.

"Yeah! Although this old man has the intention of withdrawing troops according to our plan, he still wants to add fire to the Hebei incident when he is still dealing with my plan! At the same time, he can also follow this matter and explore Whether or not Yuan Tan of Bingzhou is sincerely using his thoughts is enough to show that he will definitely be the number one enemy of the lord in the future!" Qin Xu stood up, pointed to the map hanging in the hall and said: "Jizhou is in chaos. Bingzhou, the easternmost state, is undoubtedly the least affected. Cao Cao's actions, on the contrary, can leave enough space for the forces of Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei to entice them to increase their efforts to attack Jizhou. Now, the most worrying thing is our army. After all, because of Liu Bei's relationship and the injury of the former lord, our army will definitely not make Gongsun Zan too complacent, so we will pull the plain, which is a short distance from Jizhou, into In the flames of war. Because of the conflict of power between Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, Jizhou will inevitably have civil strife, and it will have to deal with the attack of Gongsun Zan who is going south. He will inevitably ask for help from the people behind the two. If you send troops at the appointment, then Cao Cao, who has already cultivated his strength, can take the initiative, and this may be Cao Cao's strategy of turning against the enemy as Wen He said!"

"That is to say! This time, our plan to support Yuan Shang is actually a failure?" Lu Bu's face flashed a trace of irritability. This kind of battlefield is not a battlefield, but a battlefield that is only about tactics. For the number one fierce general in the world, it is really a headache.Hearing what Qin Xu said, Lu Bu became more and more impatient.

"My lord is scolding Xu!" Lu Bu's thinking was too jumpy, Qin Xu gave a wry smile, and continued: "Cao Cao's trick is to use Yangmou! But the premise is that our army It's really as he expected, and he is very concerned about whether Jizhou will take action because of Gongsun Zan's involvement."

"It's true that Gongsun Zan, who is in control of Youzhou, can't go to Jizhou!" Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

"Ah! Thinking about it, Cao Cao must have the same idea! Moreover, Cao Cao should have enough reasons to believe that our army has never let go of Jizhou in this plan, and will never let go of the "forced retreat" of the Lord. Liu Bei's forces, who did not return to Qingzhou due to injury, really took advantage of Gongsun Zan's opportunity to go south to take control of Jizhou!" Qin Xu did not wait for Lu Bu to ask, pointing to the map and then said: "Let's see, my lord, if our army really will be like Cao Cao As expected, go out of the plains to compete with Gongsun Zan for Jizhou. Then Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou will not have enough troops left to defend, especially when Jingxiang and Liu Biao have taken over Lujiang County. If Cao Cao sent most of his troops to the north, he would undoubtedly be delivering food to others. Thus, he would fall into the situation in Hebei again. In this way, although Cao Cao now has a large number of troops and superior strength, but the rear is intimidated by the Lord, it is easy It will be completely opened. The Central Plains, Yongliang, and even Jingxiang, let Cao Cao let him go. Even if our army finally exhausted its efforts and fought with Gongsun Zan, both sides will suffer. After winning Jizhou, its strength will increase greatly at that time, and it will be controlled by hand. Cao Cao of Bingzhou can attack Youzhou in the north and Jizhou in the east, and what we have done is equivalent to being a long-term laborer for his old Cao family for nothing!"

"Hiss... Cao Ah's intentions are so vicious! Jia Wenhe's scheming is so vicious!" Lu Bu couldn't help but take a long breath after hearing Qin Xu's gesticulating tirade.Before, Lu Bu always thought that Qin Xu prevented him from going north to "revenge", but he was planning for Yuan Shang with his heart. He wanted to replicate the previous incident of gaining Xuzhou with empty gloves and white wolves. After learning about Cao Cao's countermeasures, he thought that this plan failed. Although he didn't say it clearly, he was also somewhat disappointed with Jia Xu who advised Qin Xu.But now, after being told by Qin Xu, Lu Bu has a new understanding of the poisonous man who forced him to run wild, and he also has a new understanding of Qin Xu's previous attempts to tie Jia Xu by his side. There is also a sense of rejoicing about the matter.

If Jia Xu's plan according to what Qin Xu said this time was followed, Cao Cao, who thought he had the upper hand in this confrontation, would be in great trouble.No wonder Qin Xu, together with Jia Xu and even Guo Jia, have been urging Lü Bu to focus his army's strategic layout on the large and sparsely populated southern lands, while lacking enthusiasm for the affairs of Hebei. Obtaining the right to defend Yecheng is very likely to turn Jizhou into the second Xuzhou. It was also after Lu Bu was seriously injured that he immediately withdrew all troops in Yecheng, and deliberately let Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei and even the Heishan bandits defeat the crowd , there is an opportunity to take advantage of.Co-authoring this book is a big game that Jia Xu and others may have planned at the beginning of the chaos in Hebei.

"Boy! Good tricks! In your eyes, is it possible that X is just a pawn!" Lu Bu suddenly realized something and said sharply to Qin Xu...
