Chapter 47
After going out for a stroll and eating some food, Han Wu called Guo Jia after he came back.

"Feng Xiao, what's going on with Bingzhou? I got news earlier that Han Sui has withdrawn from Bingzhou and let Yuwen Chengdu guard Shangjun."

"Xu Huang guards Xihe County and guards the Sili area. Chen Qingzhi should have moved to Yanmen and Jiuyuan County by now, and Geng Wu will be back soon, right?"

Guo Jia heard the lord's question, and he quickly responded: "My lord, General Yuwen has already captured Bingzhou, and the current defense of Bingzhou is impenetrable."

"General Geng Wu also arrived in Jizhou according to the time of the march. Now Jizhou and Bingzhou are under the jurisdiction of the lord, and the spring planting has also ended."

Guo Jia took out two bamboo slips from his sleeve and put them on the table in front of Han Wu for him to have a look.

Han Wu casually opened it, glanced at it, and then closed it again, because he didn't know much about these detailed data.

Han Wu hardly knew the production capacity of Jizhou. After all, he traveled back from the modern society and did not understand the productivity of this era at all.

"Okay, if that's the case, then the army will rest for two months, and I'm going to attack Montenegro."

"You are in charge of drafting the documents to make the Montenegrin bandits surrender quickly. I don't want to attack Montenegro by force, and I don't think Zhang Yan wants to meet with swords."

"After all, the black mountain bandits are mostly ordinary people. There were 100 million refugees at the beginning, and it is estimated that almost all of them died now. It would be good to have 50 million."

Han Wu gave Guo Jia an order, and Guo Jia nodded quickly, thinking about the plan to descend to Montenegro.

The main force attacking Montenegro was the bloodthirsty tiger guards. Once Zhang Yan was unwilling to surrender, the bloodthirsty tiger guards would use them for training.

After the bloodthirsty tiger guard came back, he only rested for three days before starting training again and recruiting new recruits.

At present, there are already 1000 reserve soldiers of the bloodthirsty tiger guards, but these 1000 people cannot go to the battlefield yet.

The standard configuration of bloodthirsty tiger guards is 3000 people, and Han Wu can provide them with armor for 3000 people at most.

"Also, send people to negotiate with Bingzhou Xianbei in the north. I hope to win some combat power from these foreigners."

"There are too many nomads in the north, and it is difficult for us to eliminate them. Instead of defeating them one by one, it is better to cultivate two loyal hounds to serve us."

Han Wu gave another order, and Guo Jia quickly accepted the order.

Yanzhou, the base of Cao Cao, the hero in troubled times has been crying and angry.

Tao Qian wanted to send Cao Cao's father to Cao Cao, but the person he sent was a wolf-hearted person.

Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was killed by Zhang Kai. When the news reached Cao Cao, he almost fainted.

"Rise up the army! You must raise the army, I want to kill everyone in Xuzhou City, and I want to avenge my father!"

"Tao Qian, that bastard, dared to harm my father! Yuan Rang, go and count the troops, I want to attack Xuzhou!"

Cao Cao was so angry that he was about to go crazy. Xiahou Dun sighed when he heard Cao Cao asking him to order soldiers in the courtyard.

Xu Chu also swallowed, it was the first time he saw the lord so furious, but it was reasonable.

Both Xun Yu and Cheng Yu sighed quietly, no one can dissuade Cao Cao now.

Cao Ren was also very helpless, but he supported Cao Cao to send troops to attack Xuzhou to avenge the old man.

"Zixiao, go and persuade Meng De, I'll go and count the three armies, let's prepare for the battle."

After Xiahou Dun said something to Cao Ren, he went out directly, preparing to count the troops.

The current army in Yanzhou is well-equipped with fine food, so it is natural to attack Xuzhou, but there is no name for the current army, and some preparations are still needed.

Although Cao Cao could attack Xuzhou by avenging his father, this matter still needs to be publicized after all.

It's just that Cao Cao has gone crazy now, and he is so angry that it is naturally difficult for him to calm down in a short time.

In Xuzhou City, Tao Qian was completely panicked now, he never thought that he would do something bad with good intentions.

Tao Qian convened all Xuzhou generals and his advisers to discuss countermeasures, but none of them could come up with a good solution.

Liu Bei was also here, and he frowned. He never thought that he would encounter big trouble just after arriving in Xuzhou.

"Brother Xuande, what do you think I should do now? This thief Zhang Kai actually killed Cao Song, Cao Cao will definitely raise his troops to attack him."

Tao Qian walked up to Liu Bei, held Liu Bei's hands eagerly, and asked him how to do it.

Liu Bei was overjoyed, but still pretended to be embarrassed, and sighed leisurely.

"My lord Zhou Mu, Xuande has no good solution, but my two virtuous younger brothers are both brave enough to be undeserved."

"If Zhou Mu is willing to lend [-] troops to Xuande to guard Pengcheng, it will be more likely to keep Cao Cao out of Xuzhou."

As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, Tao Qian was overjoyed, but Cao Bao hurriedly said something.

"Lord Zhou Mu, [-] soldiers is too much. Once we give him [-] elite soldiers, it will be difficult for us to defend Xuzhou City."

"The last general has a plan. Lu Bu has been fleeing here since he was driven out of Chang'an City. Now he is at the border of Xuzhou."

"Lü Bu is brave and brave. He has always been known as a flying general, and his military strength is not weak. If we let him help us defend against Cao Cao, we will be able to ensure that Xuzhou has no worries."

Cao Bao glanced at Liu Bei, Liu Bei was still expressionless, but secretly scolded Cao Bao in his heart.

Cao Bao obviously didn't want Tao Qian to hand over his troops to him. Liu Bei knew this very well. Cao Bao and many Xuzhou generals were still wary of him.

After Tao Qian heard Cao Bao's suggestion, he was really hesitant and said, "Lu Bu is a repeat person, and he's going to defect to Yuan Shu. Isn't it good for us to do this?"

Cao Bao responded: "Lord Zhou Mu, although Lu Bu is a repeated person, it's not that he surrendered to us, but just used."

"Lü Bu is a rootless duckweed. He must not be willing to seek refuge with other people. Let him help us guard Pengcheng. He must be very willing."

"We're not recruiting him, we're just providing food and grass, and he's just our ally. Presumably with such a relationship, he won't be capricious."

Cao Bao tried his best to persuade Tao Qian, and Tao Qian was persuaded directly, after all, Cao Bao was his confidant.

Seeing that he couldn't borrow troops from Tao Qian, Liu Bei smiled slightly, not showing his disappointment.

For Liu Bei, he now wants to show his kindness and generosity in front of Tao Qian, and there must be nothing inappropriate.

"Okay! As you said, you send someone to negotiate with Lu Bu. As long as he is willing to help me guard Pengcheng, I will provide him with food and grass."

Tao Qian directly ordered Cao Bao to contact Lu Bu, Cao Bao immediately smiled and quickly accepted the order.

Two days later, messengers from Xuzhou contacted Lu Bu's team, and they were heading towards Yuzhou on the border of Xuzhou.

Inside the Chinese army camp, Lu Bu sighed quietly, and glanced at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.

The eight ministries were divided into left and right, and Chen Gong stood aside, waiting for Lu Bu to tell the things in the letter.

"Gongtai, Tao Qian sent me a letter, allowing me to be stationed in Pengcheng, Xuzhou, and wants me to resist Cao Cao's attack."

"He is willing to provide us with food, grass and armaments. Do you think we should go to Yuzhou to join Yuan Shu as originally planned?"

"Wen Yuan, Gao Shun, tell me whether we should agree to Tao Qian's request."

Lu Bu sighed, he didn't have his own foresight, and now all his plans are obeyed by Chen Gong.

Chen Gong is the only think tank beside Lu Bu, and under his leadership, he can be regarded as developing well.

Although there is no place to stay, the strength of the troops in his hands has not decreased, and there is also a lot of food and grass.

Chen Gong was silent for two seconds, and said: "General, our purpose is to find a place to stay. I think it's better to agree to Tao Qian."

"Xuzhou's army is weak, Tao Qian can use us, but it will be different in Yuzhou."

"Although Yuan Shu will take us in, but he has a lot of generals and a strong army, so we may not be taken seriously."

"Therefore, I think it would be better to promise Tao Qian. Once we defeat Cao Cao, we will be able to gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou. Presumably one day, we will be able to control the entire Xuzhou."

Chen Gong expressed his opinion, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun also nodded in agreement with Chen Gong.

Seeing that Zhang Liao agreed with Chen Gong's decision, Lu Bu didn't hesitate any longer.

"Okay! Just listen to the public platform, let's go to Xuzhou, and leave for Pengcheng tomorrow!"

"Cao Cao, I, Lu Fengxian, really didn't take him seriously. If Yuwen Chengdu hadn't saved him, he would have died in my hands long ago."

Lu Bu stood up arrogantly and said something, while Chen Gong smiled slightly and didn't say much.

Lu Bu underestimated Cao Cao because he didn't know Cao Cao well, but Chen Gong understood this man and knew that Cao Cao was difficult to deal with.

Although Cao Cao has many soldiers and generals, it is just that there may not be any soldiers under his command who are Lu Bu's opponents. Chen Gong is confident in this point.

On the second day, the news of Lu Bu's transfer to Pengcheng reached Cao Cao who was marching towards Xuzhou. Cao Cao sighed helplessly.

Lu Bu is a fierce tiger that is difficult to deal with. Cao Cao originally sent troops out of anger.

"My lord, Tao Qian did not hesitate to lure wolves into the house and asked Lu Bu to guard Pengcheng. Maybe we won't get any benefits this time."

Cheng Yu said something to Cao Cao, Cao Cao also sighed quietly, there was nothing he could do.

The troops have already been dispatched, so naturally they can't just retreat like this, even facing Lu Bu, they have to face the difficulties.

"Zixiao, you divide your troops to attack Taishan County, our battle plan needs to be changed."

"Lü Bu is guarding Pengcheng. We can't confront Lu Bu head-on. If we don't get any benefits this time, we will retreat."

Cao Cao frowned and gave Cao Ren an order. Cao Ren took the order and left, preparing to dispatch troops to Taishan County.
