Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 124 Bookishness

"Wen has Fan Zeng, Wu has Zhong Limei!" In Lu Bu's tent, the territory he had conquered again was taken back by Xiang Yu. Finally, someone couldn't help but praise: "Xiang Yu is so lucky."

Xiang Yu had more than just Fan Zeng by his side. Through the battles between the two sides during this period, when Fan Zeng was away, Zhong Limei was Xiang Yu's think tank.

In addition, Long Qie, Ji Bu, and Yu Ziqi are also three rare good generals. Zhang Han has fought against the three of them before. Although he won more than he lost, it is not easy to completely defeat these three. .

On Lu Bu's side, Zhang Han, Dong Yi, Yingbu, Peng Yue, Tian Heng, Chen Yu, Fu Kuan, Zhang Han, Yingbu, and Peng Yue were able to suppress these generals, but there was Xiang Yu who couldn't stand it. With himself leading the troops at the front and Fan Zeng at the rear, this lineup would be difficult for even Lu Bu to break.

The main reason is that if he sits in charge of the central army and strategizes, he cannot charge forward and kill the enemy like Xiang Yu. If he goes to the front line in person, it will inevitably be difficult to take into account the overall situation. The best way is to find someone who can replace Lu Bu in the central army. Or a general who charges forward, but the problem is that Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu were both top figures of their era, and it would be too difficult to find such a one among their contemporaries.

Among the people Lu Bu knew, perhaps only Zhang Liang could deal with Fan Zeng. Unfortunately, Zhang Liang was killed by Lu Bu with a spear when he was at Wuguan, and if he was there, Lu Bu couldn't use it with confidence.

As for those who can resist Xiang Yu in commanding troops... maybe Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Ying Bu combined can do it, but there has been no news about Han Xin since Qi was defeated. Lu Bu later secretly sent people to inquire, but there was no result. Peng Yue, Yingbu and Zhang Han could suppress all the fierce generals under Xiang Yu, but they could not suppress Xiang Yu.

"I want to drive a wedge between Fan Zeng and I wonder if you guys have a plan?" Lu Bu looked at everyone. The method of beating Xiang Yu was written in the Historical Records. With Lu Bu's understanding of Xiang Yu, there was no need to change the plan.

But who will implement this strategy will have to be careful. Historically, it was Chen Ping who implemented the strategy, but there is no news about Chen Ping now. Under Xiang Yu's account... I don't know if Xiao He is qualified. After all, Xiao He's strength is helping Lu Bu coordinate the rear. rather than lobbying.

No matter how good the strategy is, it must be carried out with powerful people, otherwise it will be in vain, and what Xiang Yu lacks most now is this kind of people, he has no debaters under him.

"There is someone here who may be able to help King Wei!" Xiao He looked at Lu Bu and said with a smile.

"Oh?" Lu Bu looked at Xiao He and asked with a smile, "But I don't know who he is?"

"I wonder if the King of Wei has ever heard of Li Shiqi?" Xiao He said with a smile: "This man was once loyal to Pei Gong like me, but after the defeat of Pei Gong, he never chose to serve as an official. This man is extremely eloquent. If the King of Wei can recruit him, With this person’s help, this plan will work!”

Li Shiqi?

Lu Bu nodded silently, looked at Xiao He and said, "Where is this person now?"

"After the death of Duke Pei, he has been living in seclusion in Dang County. If the King of Wei is willing, I can persuade this person to be used by the King of Wei." Xiao He said with a smile.

"If he doesn't want to..." Lu Bu thought for a while, then looked at Xiao He and said, "There is no need to force it."

He was just a lobbyist. In Lu Bu's mind, the best person to implement this strategy was Chen Ping. Unfortunately, there was no news about Chen Ping.

"Don't worry, King Wei, this person will not refuse." Xiao He nodded, but he didn't think Li Shiqi would refuse. Not everyone is as loyal to Liu Bang as Cao Shen.

Lu Bu nodded and didn't say much. He was currently at a stalemate with Xiang Yu. After fighting for more than a year, the soldiers were exhausted. He just wanted to kill Xiang Yu as soon as possible. As long as Fan Zeng was gone, the difficulty would be much easier.

Xiao He left with Lu Bu's sincerity. He found Li Shiqi in Dang County and explained his purpose. It was just as Xiao He expected. Although Li Shiqi was heartbroken about Liu Bang's death, he did not hate Lu Bu because of it. After all, the princes are fighting and life and death depend on their fate. What these counselors and debaters need is a platform to show off their talents. As for who this platform is, it doesn't actually matter. Even if he had a good relationship with Liu Bang before, but he is asked to go to Liu Bang It is impossible to fight against Lu Bu.

"King Wei, I heard that King Wei is preparing to alienate the Chu army?" After Li Shiqi saw Lu Bu, he didn't waste any words. Seeing that there were no outsiders, he went straight to the point.

"Not bad." Lu Bu nodded and said, "Sir, maybe you can help me?"

"This matter is actually not difficult!" Li Shiqi thought for a moment and said with a smile: "However, I need an opportunity to go to the Chu camp as an envoy. It is best to bring the military order of the King of Wei to a temporary truce with Xiang Yu."

"Truce?" Lu Bu heard this and looked at Li Shiqidao.

"Yes, it's a truce." Li Shiqi nodded and said: "The King of Wei has been fighting with the Chu army for more than a year. The soldiers are exhausted and the lives are in ruins. Now the two sides are in a stalemate. In this case, it is better to have a truce for the time being. Both sides can rest and recuperate. We can fight again after next year’s autumn harvest. This year will be enough for me to wait for Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng from Lijian!”

Lu Bu thought for a moment and then nodded and said: "It does need some repairs. In this case, I would like to ask you, sir, to be our military envoy and bring documents to the Chu camp to discuss the matter. As for how to do it, sir, do you have any other requests?"

Chen Ping took a lot of property to alienate Chu Ying. Lu Bu also understood this. If he wanted someone to do something and alienate Chu Ying, it would be difficult to do it without a bribe. He had even prepared enough property to let Li Shiqi come with him. bring.

"Don't worry, King Wei, all you need is this impeccable tongue!" Li Shiqi said proudly.

Lu Bu nodded: "Anyway, sir, let's talk about the truce first. As for the alienation plan, don't be too hasty and do it step by step. In addition, I also ask sir to find out for me whether there is a person named Chen Ping in the Chu camp. If so, If you can instigate this person to rebel, it would be best to bring him to see me."

"Yes!" Li Shiqi smiled confidently and bowed to leave.

Looking at Li Shiqi's leaving figure, Lu Bu shook his head, looked at Xiao He and said, "I'm afraid this person is not the best candidate for a divorce plan."

Lu Bu did not doubt Li Shiqi's eloquence and ability, but he understood human nature better. If you want to instigate Xiang Yu's most trusted people to rebel on someone else's territory, without anyone to help you, you can only use your words to stir up some conflicts, but it will not have a big effect. , Li Shi has the ability, but he has no self-awareness.

Xiao He was a little confused, looked at Lu Bu and asked, "Why did King Wei say this?"

"Washing one's lips and drumming one's tongue, if there is no other strategy to cooperate, it will be just a trick after all. In the past, Zhang Yi deceived Chu to gain advantage, and he had to have people in Chu to help him to succeed. Now Qin and Chu are fighting, and both sides are on the same page. Chu How many people in the camp are asking Qin? If there is no one to help, just relying on his words, he is the enemy of the entire Chu camp. I must not underestimate him. Although this person is not incompetent, he is too much. Conceited, at least this time it won't be a big deal." Lu Bu said solemnly, looking at the direction Li Sheqi left.

There are naturally loyal people in this world, such as Cao Shen, Xia Houying and others in Liu Bang, but most of them are ordinary people who follow the crowd. They can easily be driven away by profit. Lu Bu is ready to make profit, Li Shi But he had no intention of using it. Fortunately, Lu Bu didn't put too much hope in Li Shiqi and waited for the result.

When Xiao He heard this, he immediately understood what Lu Bu meant and smiled bitterly. He had never thought that Lu Bu had a very clear understanding of human nature. No wonder he became what he is today.

"I have prepared 40,000 gold here!" Lu Bu asked people to carry several boxes up, looked at Xiao He and said, "Although I know that I feel a little wronged, sir, I can't let him ruin a big event by himself at this time. Sir is hiding in Li." What do you think, sir, of eating around him and acting according to the circumstances after entering and leaving the camp?"

Xiao He obviously understood Lu Bu's intention, so Lu Bu dared to give him the property. At least Xiao He knew what to do. With his secret bribery and Li Shiqi's eloquence, there might be unexpected results.

Xiao He bowed to Lu Bu and looked at the dozens of boxes. He already understood what Lu Bu meant. He immediately arranged people to discuss with Li Shiqi. This time both parties must cooperate.

Lu Bu is ready for a truce. He will not break the contract suddenly like Liu Bang. In fact, it is not necessary. At most, he can get the upper hand. However, the first move in this level of war is important, but it is wishful thinking to win by just one first move.

He also really wanted to suspend the war. Sometimes the things that determine the outcome of a war are outside the battlefield. If the war continues, there is no way to induce Xiang Yu to make mistakes.

"King Wei, it seems that Ying Bu is unwilling to fight with all his strength." After everyone left, only two veteran generals in the army, Zhang Han and Dong Yi, stayed and complained to Lu Bu.

In these wars, the problem all lies with Yingbu. Not to mention Lu Bu, Zhang Han and Dong Yi can also feel that Yingbu is somewhat ineffective in his work.

This makes people very angry.

In fact, not only Dong Yi, but Lu Bu and Zhang Han were even more uncomfortable. Ying Bu had almost become synonymous with Lu Bu's flaws, so much so that Lu Bu used this mentality to trick Xiang Yu and almost made Xiang Yu a dumpling.

"It's better than him siding with Xiang Yu, and after all, it's the former leader, so it's inevitable that he can't do anything." Lu Bu was more optimistic about this than others. It's better over there, but it's not an option to continue like this. He thought for a while and said, "Go and call Yingbu, and I'll ask him personally."

"yes!"

Zhang Han and Dong Yi followed the order and left. After a while, Yingbu came in. After Lu Bu stepped back, Lu Bu asked Yingbu to sit down, poured him a glass of wine, and asked with a smile: "General, are you a little dissatisfied with Mr. Xiao's methods? "

"Don't dare!" Ying Bu quickly stood up and bowed to Lu Bu: "It's just that the last general defected after all. Facing the former leader, I feel a little..."

"Understood." Lu Bu nodded and motioned for Yingbu to sit down: "General, don't be nervous. This is human nature. I don't mean to say that the general is from Qin. This is the seal of King Lu. It is prepared for the general. Yes, let’s give it to the general first.”

"This..." Yingbu held the King of Lu's Seal in both hands and looked at Lu Bu in confusion.

"Take it, but I can't tell the world about it for the time being. Giving this seal to the general is also to reassure the general." Lu Bu looked at Ying Bu and smiled and said: "In fact, when he heard about the general's deeds in Anyang, Bu Bian always admired the general. This king of Lu has already prepared it for the general, but...it is a national law, and in order to avoid others being dissatisfied, I will give it to the general today, but the throne will not be announced until after the war, so please understand, general."

"Yes!" Ying Bu stood up, saluted Lu Bu and said, "In the end, I will definitely live up to King Wei's trust."

"Words are strong."
