Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

"What does Cao Cao mean?" Shouchun, Yuan Shu has been in a bad mood recently. He wanted to take advantage of Sun Ce's death to take Jiang Dong back into his hands. Lord of Jiangdong.

However, many families in Lujiang, Jiujiang and other places were on Yuan Shu's side. Once Sun Ce died, they rebelled and voted for Yuan Shu, so that Yuan Shu finally regained some vitality, and there were also many noble families in Jiangdong who were more willing to be close to Yuan Shu.

It's just that Yuan Shu wanted the Chen family to take down Sun Quan. When they occupied Jiangdong, Liu Bei, who had suffered a thousand swords, suddenly ran out without saying what he wanted to do. He just let the red-faced bandits station troops in the Jianghuai area, so that Yuan Shu would not dare to use troops rashly, and missed the opportunity for nothing. , can only rely on persuasion to surrender and other means to instigate rebellion against the gentry in various places.

But Zhou Yu was determined to support Sun Quan, which made Yuan Shu very passive. Under Zhou Yu's command, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin led the army to block the river, and at the same time returned Jiang Xia in exchange for peace with Liu Biao. He Qi, Pan Zhang, Chen Wu and other generals put down the rebellion.

And more importantly, Sun Quan is different from Sun Ce in that he still adopts a wooing attitude towards the Jiangdong gentry. Under such circumstances, the wrangling between Yuan Shu and the Sun family took two years. Now Yuan Shao is eager to get rid of Liu Bei It is a good thing that Cao Cao is willing to contain Liu Bei for him by sending troops to take Jiangdong with the help of the family, but what kind of secret alliance is made...

Although I don't know what Cao Cao was thinking, but based on Yuan Shu's understanding of this young man, he probably didn't hold back anything.

"Don't blame Yuan Gong, my lord is willing to send troops to Xuzhou this time. One is to eliminate future troubles for Yuan Gong, and the other is to eliminate future troubles for myself." Cheng Yu smiled and said, "In other words... my lord wants to win Xuzhou, so..."

"That is to say, he gets Xuzhou, and I get Jiangdong?" Yuan Shujue's explanation is much more reasonable, otherwise it would be fine, why did Cao Cao suddenly come to help him? If you really want to help, where did you die two years ago? But he still has doubts in his heart: "Why is it only the secret alliance?"

"Mr. Yuan still remembers that when I waited for the alliance to ask for the director, my lord and Sun Ce also had an alliance. You and I are allies, but my lord and the Sun family of Jiangdong are also allies. It is somewhat a little bit of a hand in hand to bully orphans and widows. ...not suitable." Cheng Yu said helplessly.

It's okay to fight each other's own, but if an alliance is seen by outsiders, isn't it just a joint effort to bully the orphans and widows? What's the deal with this?

"Well, Meng De is like this, he can't let go of things." Yuan Shu shook his head and said: "Forget it, as long as Meng De is willing to restrain Liu Bei for me, everything else is easy to talk about!"

"My lord!" Cheng Yu was about to answer, but Yan Xiang came out of the line, first saluted Yuan Shu, then looked at Cheng Yu and said, "I also have a question, I want to ask Mr. Zhong De."

"Sir, please tell me." Cheng Yu nodded with a smile, but his eyes became serious. Yuan Shu's subordinates are not without capable people, and Yan Xiang is a good counselor. It's a pity that Yuan Shu was too arrogant in his early years. It turned into strength, and now it is not as good as before, so I know how to live, but it is too late.

"May I ask Mr. Zhongde, how can Cao Yanzhou prove that he wants to go to war with Liu Bei instead of trying to trick our army into the south, and then take the opportunity to carve up my master with Liu Bei?" Yan Xiang looked at Cheng Yu and asked: "It takes a lot of troops to fight Liu Bei Money and food may not be able to swallow Xuzhou, but if we deceive the main force of our army to leave, it will be easy to attack our master."

Yuan Shu's eyes were fixed. He hadn't thought about this possibility. Now that he thought about it, it's not impossible for Cao Cao to do such a thing. He looked at Cheng Yu immediately.

"Sir, Lord Benchu ​​may not care about my main attack on Liu Bei, but if my lord comes to attack Duke Yuan, Lord Benchu ​​alone will not agree, right?" Cheng Yu asked rhetorically.

"Things in the world are unpredictable. In many cases, the more people believe in the changes in the world, the easier it is for things to happen." Yan Xiang laughed.

"That makes sense." Cheng Yu nodded, looked at Yuan Shu and said, "To show my sincerity, how about my lord attacking Xuzhou first?"

Although Yan Xiang was clever, his vision was too short and he didn't grasp the key point of this matter. This person may be highly intelligent, but his short-sightedness is nothing to worry about.

While speaking, Cheng Yu also made an evaluation of Yan Xiang. As Yuan Shu's chief counselor, this person has good strategy, but in terms of foresight, he is not worthy of the title of chief counselor.

That's what happened to Yuan Shu.

"If this is the case, this covenant can be fulfilled!" Yan Xiang thought for a moment, then felt that there was no problem, nodded and looked at Yuan Shudao.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll trouble Zhong De to tell Meng De that as long as he distracts Guan Yu, I will immediately send troops across the river." Yuan Shu laughed loudly.

"Duke Yuan is wise!" Cheng Yu saluted Yuan Shu with a smile.

Now that the business is over, Yuan Shu has already set up a banquet for Cheng Yu. No matter what, he and Cao Cao are old friends, and now they are an alliance, so the other party's envoy can't wait.

"Zhongde, what is Meng De's plan for the imperial examination in Guanzhong?" After drinking a few glasses of wine with Cheng Yu, Yuan Shu opened his mouth to discuss some general trends in the world, among which Yuan Shu was most concerned about the imperial examination in Guanzhong, the pros and cons of the imperial examination , I have already made an analysis here, and finally came to the conclusion that although it is unfavorable, Yuan Shu has nothing to do with Lu Bu, and it is difficult for the princes of the world to gather together to fight an alliance war against Lu. As for the reason, the fragile trust is no longer enough to maintain this alliance.

The biggest reason for Cao Cao's retreat before was that Yuan Shu transferred his troops to Cao Cao's rear. Although Yuan Shu explained it later, no one would know if he believed it or not. scene.

"Guanzhong is very powerful. My lord thinks that even if we raise troops right now, we won't be able to embarrass Lu Bu. In this case, it is better to call on the world's famous people to resist the imperial examination, block the intersection leading to Guanzhong, and at the same time recuperate, train hard, and wait until the time is right. On that day, he will naturally be able to compete with Na Lu Bu!" Naturally, it is impossible for Cheng Yu to tell Cao Cao's countermeasures, but the general principle is correct.

Yuan Shu nodded silently and said: "In the past, it was he who had the most evil ideas. This is a good idea. After sweeping Jiangdong this time, there will only be you and my two princes left in the Central Plains. It will be easier to form an alliance to fight against the country's thieves." .”

Cheng Yu just should be.

After receiving a lot of entertainment in Shouchun, he bid farewell to Yuan Shu and hurried back to Juancheng.

"Gaolu really said that?" Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu. Although he knew that it might be successful, but from Cheng Yu's description, the matter went too smoothly.

"Of course it is true." Cheng Yu said with a smile, "My lord, the food, grass, soldiers and horses are all ready. Xuzhou is also very important to our army. We must send troops quickly so we can not lose the opportunity."

"Okay, order someone to send a letter to Ben Chu, order the various ministries, and order Cao Ren to take Pengcheng first, and the rest of the generals will follow me to take Xiapi." Cao Cao decisively ordered, at this time, one point sooner is one point of opportunity, Although Yuan Shao's attitude has to be considered, but based on Cao Cao's understanding of Yuan Shao, everyone is now an ally. Although it is only in name, Yuan Shao will probably not care about these things, and most likely will not stop them. A letter is enough.

"Here!" Cheng Yu saluted Cao Cao and then went to deliver the order.

Cao Cao mobilized troops much faster than Yuan Shu. After he decided to go on an expedition, he did not procrastinate at all. As the vanguard, Cao Ren captured Pengcheng while Liu Bei was focusing on Huainan. It was determined to defeat Xuzhou in one battle.

Xuzhou, Xiapi.

"Cao Cao fought without warning. This is a blatant betrayal of the alliance. Big brother, little brother, please order troops to bring back Cao Cao's head." Zhang Fei was obviously dissatisfied with Cao Cao's attack, so he immediately sent troops to fight Cao Cao. cut off.

Liu Bei's face was not very good-looking, but he was not anxious. After so many years of ups and downs, he had already been tempered. After hearing that Cao Cao suddenly invaded Pengcheng, although he was anxious, he still looked at Chen Gong and Chen Qun. Two people, Chen Deng is now serving as Guan Yu's military adviser in Guangling, and the ones who can plan for Liu Bei at this moment are naturally Chen Gong and Chen Qun.

"Gongtai, Changwen, what do you think?" Liu Bei looked at the two and asked.

"Fighting is of course necessary. Cao Cao has already bullied him. If he doesn't fight back now, he will give people a sense of weakness." Chen Qun made his conclusion first. Since the army has been mobilized, this battle must be fought. But how to play is open to debate.

Chen Gong also nodded and said: "Cao Cao is a traitor in the world. He always makes plans before acting. Now that he attacked with the force of thunder, reconciliation may not be possible. I also think... a war."

He and Cao Cao already had a rift, but now that Cao Cao came to attack, he naturally wanted to fight, and he wanted to fight to the death.

Liu Bei nodded and said: "Bei also knows how to fight, but how to fight, I still need your advice."

"My lord is serious." Chen Qun quickly waved his hands and said, "Cao Cao's battle is fierce, the second general must be recalled as soon as possible, but the water far away cannot quench his thirst, so the third general should quickly send troops to garrison Ge Zeshan to contain Cao Cao. His soldiers are approaching the city."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "This matter is on my shoulders, and I guarantee that the Cao Cao thief will never get close!"

Chen Gong was still relieved of Zhang Fei's ability, and then looked at Liu Bei and said, "Cao Cao's attack this time will inevitably leave the rear empty, and it can also send people to Hebei. If Yuan Shaoke goes south to attack the rear, Cao's army will definitely retreat."

"Since Cao Cao sent troops, how could he not have thought of this." Chen Qun sighed and said, "Before coming here, I'm afraid I had communicated with the second Yuan. In my opinion, once the second general withdraws, Yuan Shu will definitely cross the river!"

Liu Bei frowned slightly when he heard this: "Could it be that Cao Cao has joined hands with Er Yuan?"

"Cooperating together is not enough, at most it's just taking advantage of each other." Chen Gong snorted coldly and said, "However, it's not easy to break this alliance right now."

Isn't it true that Yuan Shao probably doesn't want to care about these stupid things, and Yuan Shu is busy crossing the river again, wishing Liu Bei and Cao Cao could fight, this battle must be fought unless Cao Cao retreats by himself...
