Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Jingzhou and Jiangdong quickly reached an agreement and took action. On the other side, brothers Kuaiyue and Kuailiang went to Cao Cao and Yuan Shu respectively. The two persuaded the two, and everyone joined forces to fight against Lu Bu, temporarily abandoning their grievances.

The alliance of the four major princes in the Central Plains is a little more difficult than Jiangdong and Jingzhou.

After all, both of them may calculate each other, how much thought and calculation will be involved in the alliance of the four major princes.

"Wen Ruo, you said that the alliance will attack Lu Bu this time, what should I do?" Cao Cao seemed a little hesitant, looked at Xun Yu and asked.

Compared to Lu Bu, Yuan Shao was actually a bigger threat to him. After all, if Lu Bu moved, Yuan Shao would not be able to sit back and watch, but if Yuan Shao moved himself, Lu Bu might also send troops, but there were two possibilities. One was Restrict Yuan Shao's development, attack Yuan Shao from the rear, make Yuan Shao not dare to go south with all his strength, another...

It was a good idea to fight with Yuan Shao. After all, it was a good idea to send troops from Nanyang to capture Yuzhou, Runan, and sweep Chenliu.

Therefore, fighting Lü Bu would not do Cao Cao any good. On the contrary, if Lü Bu counterattacked, Cao Cao would be the first to suffer, not to mention the restless Liu Bei and Yuan Shao in the rear.

Xun Yu, who was looking at the map, raised his head when he heard the words, but did not answer, but instead asked: "Master, if we start a war with Hebei at this time, what chance does the lord have?"

"What are the chances of winning?" Cao Cao rubbed his temples with a headache. He was sure that if he fought Yuan Shao at this moment, Yuan Shu would definitely jump out to help. After being taught by others, the current Yuan Shu is not as arrogant as in the early days. Yuan Shao softened, and even Sun Ce, who was originally his subordinate, softened in disguise.

The current Yuan Shu is not as easy to bully as a few years ago. If he starts a war with Yuan Shao, he can only form an alliance with Liu Bei, but it is hard to say whether Liu Bei will give him a knife. There have been many fights, and the grievances are unclear. Although Liu Bei has a good reputation, when it comes to interests, it is impossible to say.

If he started a war with Yuan Shao at this time, Cao Cao couldn't think of a reason for him to win.

"Why should Wen Ruo ask the question?" Cao Cao finally sighed: "In the beginning, there are countless good soldiers and good generals, Jizhou is rich in money and food, and there is no worries about the future. If the two of us go to war, it will be ... less wins and more losses."

As far as the victory is less, the defeat is mostly due to Cao Cao putting gold on his face. In the current situation, the two start a fight. Unless Cao Cao has the ability to win quickly, Yuan Shaoguang will stop his troops and horses at the junction of the two armies, and consume all the energy. Destroy Cao Cao to death.

This is still under the premise that Yuan Shu and Liu Bei will not cause trouble.

On the other hand, even if he was given time to deal with Liu Bei and Yuan Shu first, Cao Cao would not be able to win quickly in the face of both of them at the same time. When Yuan Shao took the opportunity to kill him from behind, Cao Cao would still be a fart.

Unless one of Liu Bei and Yuan Shu is out of their minds, and they do something terrifying in the world, let Cao Cao have the righteousness in his hand, destroy one first, and then deal with the remaining one.

Unfortunately, there is no such a coincidence. Judging from Yuan Shu's current performance, there is a high probability not. As for Liu Bei, although he is not as good as Cao Cao now, Cao Cao can see that this Liu Bei is definitely a person, as long as he is given a chance, he can do it. Great, the potential threat is greater than Yuan Shu, if there are variables in the world in the future, it may be on this person.

"That being the case, there are three major benefits to forming an alliance against Lu." Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao with a serious face.

"So much?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

"One!" Xun Yu nodded and said solemnly, "You can suspend the battle between the lord and Duke Yuan, so that the lord has more time to prepare."

Cao Cao nodded, this was what he could think of.

"Second." Xun Yu said again: "The lord can let the Chenliu land to show his determination to punish the thieves." Xun Yu said solemnly.

"Why is this?" Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu in confusion.

"Yuan Gong asks Lu, you can go to Bingzhou, Jingxing, and Jiguan, but these are all small roads. If you want to succeed, you must cross the river and attack. If this alliance is successful, the lord must also let go of Chenliu, Dongjun and other places. , it is better to take the initiative to sell, leave Chenggao to Yuan Gong to attack, and the lord will attack Nanyang!"

"Nanyang?" Cao Cao looked at the location of Nanyang on the map, nodded and said, "If you get Nanyang, you will have a place to stay. Even if the Central Plains are defeated in the future, there will be a way to retreat."

In addition, in this way, Yuan Shao and Lü Bu would fight on the most difficult places.

Just think about how hard Cheng Gao was to fight back then.

Compared with Heluo, Nanyang has complex terrain at most, but there are no dangerous gates such as Chenggao and Yique to be stationed.

"And the other three?" Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and smiled, "Wen Ruo said, wouldn't it be the highway and Liu Bei?"

"Exactly, if Duke Yuan's name is used to initiate an arraignment against thieves, the two of them will definitely answer the edict, and the lord will have no worries. If the situation is not right, you can even..." Xun Yu got up, came to Cao Cao, and made a gesture on the map. a bit.

It was a little difficult to win both of them, but it was no problem to win one first.

Cao Cao nodded silently, Xun Yu counted the outcome of the battle among them.

"What Wen Ruo said is very agreeable to me, but the matter still depends on Benchu. I will send someone to send a letter to Benchu ​​and invite Benchu ​​to form an alliance to fight the thieves!" Cao Cao laughed after thinking about the key. road.

On the other hand, Yuan Shu's side is much simpler. As long as Yuan Shao agrees, he agrees. After all, Yuan Shu's living space is now given by Yuan Shao.

On Xuzhou's side, Liu Bei was a little hesitant in the face of Kuaiyue's lobbying.

"Brother, why is there any hesitation?" Zhang Fei couldn't help frowning when he saw Liu Bei's hesitation.

"The officials and titles I waited for were all granted by the imperial court. Now the imperial court has not lost their virtues, but we have violated our benevolence and righteousness by raising troops to attack them." Liu Bei said with a frown.

Liu Bei was somewhat unable to judge whether he should join the princes in this matter.

After all, Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo are still different. I have never heard of Lu Bu's arrogance. It was just because Lu Bu attacked Shu that he launched an army to attack it.

"Brother." Guan Yu stroked his beard, looked at Liu Bei and said, "Little brother thinks that since a man was born in this world, benevolence and righteousness are important, but they shouldn't be used to benevolence and righteousness to everyone. Of course Lu Bu is right, but brother, has he ever thought about it? If you let Lu Bu take the land of Shu, it will be more difficult to rule him in the future, this world strife is different from ruling a country, you should do it when you need to do it!"

"Second brother is right!" Zhang Fei nodded quickly and said, "Big brother, isn't Lu Bu a national traitor? What kind of benevolence is he talking about with a national traitor? Besides, my brother's position as state shepherd was appointed by the court, not by him, Lu Bu. We are here. To save the court."

"Gongtai, what do you think?" Liu Bei gave a wry smile, doesn't he know these truths? But the question now is whether this is an alliance or not. His words are not big. It depends on Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. If one of these two people does not accept it, the battle will not be fought.

It's a pity that his two brothers took themselves too seriously and didn't see the crux of the problem. He could only look at Chen Gong.

As for why Chen Gong is here, it is a long story. After Chen Gong helped Zhao Wei, he left Shu, but learned that his friend Zhang Miao was dead. Not only Zhang Miao died, but even Zang Hong was also because of Yuan Shao’s incompetence. Promising to save Zhang Chao, he openly defected, and was eventually trapped by Yuan Shao.

The people who fought together in the past ran away to death. Chen Gong hated that Cao Cao was ruthless, and wanted to avenge these deceased friends. He went to Yuan Shu first, but it was a pity that Yuan Shu was really unbearable at the beginning, and Chen Gong offered several suggestions. They were ignored by Yuan Shu, and they attacked Liu Bei not long after, and Liu Bei captured several cities and almost broke Shouchun.

At that time, Yuan Shu not only did not reflect, but also blamed the matter on Chen Gong. The reason was even more absurd. He said that Chen Gong hindered the master, and it was bad luck. How could Chen Gong endure such humiliation. .

In fact, Liu Bei was the one Chen Gong disliked the most. After all, regardless of his background or qualifications, among the princes today, Liu Bei is stronger than Lu Bu.

But Liu Bei did have some things in dealing with the old men, and he was not overly enthusiastic, but Liu Bei's ideas and ambitions made Chen Gong involuntarily attracted. In the end, under the push of Chen Deng, Chen Gong finally joined Liu Bei. Became Liu Bei's staff.

Liu Bei also attaches great importance to Chen Gong. Every time Chen Gong has a suggestion, he must discuss it with Chen Gong in detail. Most of them will use it.

In private, even if he can starve himself, he will never let Chen Gong suffer any grievances. And the understanding of Liu Bei gradually disappeared, but he worshipped the lord and decided to assist Liu Bei in his career.

Seeing Liu Bei's gaze, Chen Gong naturally understood what Liu Bei meant, shook his head and said, "The palace doesn't think it's urgent, if Cao Cao doesn't allow it, even if the lord wants to get rid of the thieves for the country, it will be difficult to cross this thousand miles of land. , In addition, in this labor expedition, where will the food and grass come from? Have the two generals ever thought about it?"

"Then watch Lu Bu take over the land like this?" Zhang Fei looked at Chen Gong with a frown.

"No!" Chen Deng said with a smile: "The meaning of the public platform is to wait for the time to change. Since Kuai Zirou is here, there is no reason why the two great princes, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, will not move. In fact, as long as Yuan Gong nodded, this alliance will be successful!"

Chen Qun nodded silently, then looked at Liu Bei and said, "My lord, if you want to send troops, the food and grass in the treasury I am waiting for now are only enough to send 20,000 troops, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to support any more."

Coincidentally, the three advisors that Liu Bei relies on the most today are all surnamed Chen, but they are not from the same family, which is also an inexplicable fate. Liu Bei occasionally jokes: I have three Chen, everything will be worry-free.

"Twenty thousand is enough, and you can complain to Yuan Shao when you join the alliance." Chen Gong said about Yuan Shao, always with a sneer: "As a person, Yuan Shao will definitely show his generosity and give our army some food and grass. "

Although there is some suspicion of begging, Xuzhou has been slaughtered by Cao Cao, and it has not been what it used to be. In the past few years, it has barely recovered. Compared with food and grass, this thing... don't want it, it will not be too late to pick it up in the future.
