Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 136 Letter from Zhou Cang (1)

Lv Bu, who was at the end of the road, was homeless again. Lv Bu killed several big households one after another and grabbed some food, but it was still difficult to continue.I sigh in my heart why the world is so big that there is no place for myself.

But at this time, when he received the emperor's edict declaring him to go to Luoyang Qinwang, Lu Bu smiled wryly at his wasted fate. If the emperor's edict had come two months earlier, he would have been able to establish a firm foundation in Yanzhou, and he would not be so depressed now.What can these soldiers and horses do now? If there is no food, I am afraid they will starve to death on the road. Cao Cao is still looking down on him, and Cao Jun is the only way to go.Could it be that he ran to Luoyang alone?It's a joke, if you go there, you will die, and those civil and military ministers will definitely stab yourself.Lu Bu wrote back to the emperor, explaining that there are few soldiers and horses under his command now, and he is besieged by the princes due to lack of soldiers and food.

As a result, Lu Bu became even more depressed and saw that no one was pleasing to his eyes. Hao Meng, Cheng Lian and others gradually became suspicious of Lu Bu.

On this day, Wei Xu hurried over, "Brother-in-law, good news. Zhou Cang and Zhou Weiguo sent someone to deliver the letter."

Lv Bu was taken aback for a while, he hadn't contacted Zhou Cang for a long time, isn't Zhou Cang in Xuzhou?Send me a letter for what?Call people in and fetch letters to read.

"Brother Wenhou, younger brother Zhou Cang nodded. Since I left the capital, I miss you very much. Later, when I heard that my brother killed Dong Bandit, I couldn't help but shoot the case. My brother is also a great hero in the world. Later, I heard that my brother was exiled in the Kanto, and now he is fighting for supremacy with Cao Cao." Lost deer, I would like to ask my brother Peng Cheng to give me a word, so that I will not disappoint you. The book is not exhaustive, if you have any questions, you can ask others."

Lu Bu looked at it and asked, "Who are you?"

"Back to Marquis Wen, the nobleman of Marquis Wen is so forgetful. The villain is Ganchi. General Zhou visited Marquis Wen in Hanoi. The young one is now the chief bookkeeper of the general's mansion."

Lu Bu thought about it, although he had a vague impression, but he still didn't remember it. "Well, there is also a master register in Weiguo Mansion?"

"Back to Marquis Wen, General Zhou Meng Tianzi proclaimed him General Fenwei Zhonglang, Prefect of Guangling, and Marquis of Huixiang. Therefore, he set up a master book in the mansion. Gan Chi was not talented, so he got the honor of the general and used it indiscriminately."

Lu Bu was taken aback, this Zhou Cang's promotion was so fast, and he became a vassal in less than ten years. "Do you know why your general invited me to Pengcheng?"

"Back to Marquis Wen, my general is about to take office in Guangling. I heard that the general is here, so I want to ask Marquis Wen to be wronged and go to Pengcheng to station. General Zhou has prepared food and grass, and we just wait for Marquis Wen." Gan Chi replied politely.

Hearing this, Wei Xu's heart felt like growing grass, and he stared straight at Lu Bu, wishing that Lu Bu would immediately agree to come down and give the land, food and grass, which is a great thing.

Lu Bu pondered for a while, his younger brother, even a little person whom he didn't even look down on, now wants to take him in, it's embarrassing.How did the heroic and invincible Lu Bu fall to this point? How did he meet people when the news spread? He didn't return to Hanoi to seek refuge with Zhang Yang because he lost face. Could it be that he really wanted to go to Zhou Cang's place?Chen Gong still wanted to recover Yanzhou, but he didn't want to go to Pengcheng either.

Seeing Lv Bu's hesitation, Gan Chi continued, "Marquis Wen, General Zhou is looking forward to Marquis Wen's eyes. When he came, the general explained: Although Pengcheng is not big, it has a rich population. No hero can defend it. Marquis Wen is here to make a comeback."

"It's not because I don't want to..." Lu Bu still wanted to maintain his dignity.

"By the way, does Marquis Wen want to know the whereabouts of Madam and Miss?" Gan Chi regretted after finishing speaking, because Lu Bu immediately got up and grabbed his clothes with both hands like a chicken. "What did you say?"

"Cough, cough, don't worry, Marquis Wen, loosen your hands, and let the villain talk." Gan Chi struggled, speaking intermittently.

Lu Bu let go of his hand, and stared at Gan Chi with wide-open tiger eyes, which made Gan Chi shudder.

"Ms. Yan and Ms. Qiling are visiting Pengcheng now, accompanied by my wife." Gan Chi said weakly, avoiding Lu Bu's gaze.

"Are you serious?" Lu Bu grabbed Gan Chi's shoulders with both hands and shook them vigorously.

"How dare a villain lie to Marquis Wen, here is a letter from my wife."

"Why don't you give me the lady's letter first!" Lu Bu snatched the wooden slip into his hand, "Come on, set up camp immediately and head to Pengcheng!"

Cao Cao recaptured Yanzhou, which can be said to have suffered heavy losses, and all natural and man-made disasters were caught up.Tao Qian died before the big revenge was reported, Liu Bei gained Xuzhou by taking advantage of it; soldiers consumed a lot of food and almost lost Yanzhou; brothers Zhang Miao and Chen Gong betrayed, Cao Cao suppressed his anger and suppressed his anger.

However, after this baptism, the unstable elements in the team were washed out, and it is also a good thing to avoid greater troubles in the future. The grasshoppers all recognized the situation and stopped messing with Cao Cao. Cao Cao did not continue to investigate further. Cao Cao His personal prestige has improved, Yanzhou's rule has become more stable, the surviving gentry in Yanzhou have completely restrained, and the big households represented by Tian Dahu have begun to emerge.

Through this battle, Cao Cao deeply realized the power of iron cavalry, so he made up his mind to form a cavalry team himself. He carefully selected brave men who were used to fighting from the army to form an army, and each of them could be a hundred men. The general, known as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, wanted to suppress Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. He handed the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry over to his younger brother Cao Chun, and gave some of them as his personal guards to his nephew Cao Xiu. People practice tiger and leopard riding with all their strength, and they must surpass Bingzhou wolf riding.

Not long after, Cao Cao also received an edict from the emperor, and the emperor moved eastward, asking Cao Cao to go to Luoyang to serve as the king.Cao Cao was undecided, so he called his advisers and generals to discuss.

It was Xun Yu who spoke first: "My lord, the emperor has come to ask you to send troops to Luoyang as soon as possible, there is no need to discuss any further."

But Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "Otherwise, if more than a dozen princes attacked Dong Zhuo but returned in vain, and the emperor issued an edict again, all the princes will come together, which is nothing more than icing on the cake for my lord."

Xi Zhicai, the mastermind, said: "Dong Zhuo burned down Luoyang in a fire. Now that Luoyang is in ruins, how can we build the capital? How much money will it cost to rebuild it? When will it be completed?"

Mao Jie said: "Although the Han Dynasty is weak now, the world still regards the Han Dynasty as orthodox. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the feudal princes respected the Emperor of Zhou and ruled over them. This is in line with the current situation and cannot abandon the Emperor."

Xiahou Dun was anxious when he heard what the counselors said. "Meng De, my uncle's vengeance has not been avenged. Liu Bei stole Xuzhou. We still have to attack Xuzhou and drive Liu Bei away. It is the best strategy to avenge my uncle and obtain Xuzhou to occupy the two states."

Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren and other generals all agreed, thinking that Xiahoudun was right.Cao Ren also said, "Meng De, Liu Bei and Lu Bu are still with us. What if they go to Luoyang and Yanzhou is empty?"
