Lu Bu smiled coldly and said, "Brother Benchu, Brother Meng De, the army has gathered together and has just started to mobilize troops. It's too late! Besides, Brother Benchu ​​has arranged for Brother Highway to be the governor of food and grass, so how can he let him go to Luyang again!"

Yuan Shao's face darkened, but Cao Cao didn't think it was afraid. He smiled slightly and said, "How should we mobilize troops in the opinion of the deputy leader?"

Lu Bu took out a map, and the surveying was obviously much clearer than the one Cao Cao had just said: "I have already notified the right chariot general Zhu Jun, Shangdang Prefect Zhang Yang, and the Grand Marshal Liu Yu stationed troops in Hedong. With my general Xu Huang supported him, he waited for an opportunity to attack Shan County from Hedong and Hongnong. (1_1) I have also long informed the left chariot general Huangfu Song, the Zhenxi General Han Sui, and the Western Expedition General Ma Teng waited for an opportunity to attack Chang'an from Liangzhou. As for the northwest direction, I have sent general Zhang He to lead 10,000 troops to attack Mengjin Pass from Henoi. He has tens of thousands of county soldiers to support him, so I don't need to send troops. In the south direction, I will ask the governor of Jingzhou Han Fu to attack Taigu Pass from Luyang, without attacking, just attacking and fraud."

Yuan Shao's face turned pale: "General Lu, although you are the General of the Northern Expedition and Military Affairs, I am the leader of the alliance designated by the Emperor. You are just the deputy leader. Don't rely on your high military vocation and large military strength, just give some advice. Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song should be sent by me to order it!"

Lu Bu sneered and said, "Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song is an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, and his military status is higher than you. I am worried that they will not listen to your orders! Besides, before you receive the emperor's order, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Yingchuan, will you secretly send the Yingchuan prefect Wang Kuang to attack Zhongmu in an attempt to win the first merit of Dong!"

Cao Cao glanced at the princes present and found that the prefect of Yingchuan Wang Kuang was indeed not there. He couldn't help but slapped his thigh: "Leader, the one guarding Zhongmu is Xu Rong, the long-time general under Dong Zhuo. Xu Rong is very skilled in military tactics and is cautious in using troops. I am afraid that Wang Kuang will not attack the enemy sneakily but will be taken by Xu Rong!"

Xu Rong in real history is not a waste. In that history, when Sun Jian led his troops to attack Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo first sent Xu Rong and Li Meng to attack. Xu Rong faced Sun Jian in Liangrencheng, not only defeated Sun Jian. He also captured the prefect of Yingchuan Li Min alive, and put Li Min into a pot to cook. Sun Jian quickly moved to Liangdong, but was defeated by Xu Rong. Sun Jian had to gather the scattered soldiers and enter the Tunyang people. Cao Cao, Bao Xin and others led their troops westward. At the Bian River in Xingyang, they met Xu Rong and were defeated by Xu Rong. Cao Cao was rescued by Cao Hong to escape and survive. However, Bao Xin's younger brother and Cao Cao's old friend Wei Zi both died in the Bian River. Xu Rong was able to defeat Sun Jian twice and defeat Cao Cao, which shows that his general was extraordinary.

Yuan Shao's face looked like a jade-like jade-like look: "Meng De, why should you increase the ambition of others and destroy your own might? Wang Kuang commanded the Taishan Township soldiers for 5,000 strong bows and crossbows. They should not be sharp. Xu Rong was born as an old soldier in the army and knew what kind of military tactics!"

Cao Cao and Lu Bu looked at each other, and their eyes showed disdain for Yuan Shao. Xu Rong climbed from the old soldier in the army to the position of General General of the Central Army, which shows his ability. Yuan Shao's ability based on his background is really foolish.

Yuan Shao muttered: "I sent Wang Kuang to fight yesterday, and now I should have the rewards for the results!"

Yuan Shao muttered before he heard a cry outside the tent. Yuan Shao's heart sank.

A soldier ran in from outside the tent. It was Wang Kuang's personal soldier. The soldier was still covered in arrow feathers and covered in blood. He ran into the tent. He shouted: "Leader, we are all in vain. The entire army was wiped out. The prefect Wang was shot to death on the spot!" After the report, the soldier pounced and fell to the ground without awakening.

The people in Mount Tai were strong, and the archers recruited from there were extremely strong combat power. They could be regarded as the most powerful among the princes of Guandong. They were wiped out overnight. Wang Kuang, the most praised archers, were shot and killed by all the Western Liang soldiers. This is really a great irony.

Lu Bu looked at his nose and his nose, and said nothing. Cao Cao saw that his mouth became a crow's mouth, so he had to shut up.

The big tent suddenly became silent, only Yuan Shao was breathing heavily, desperately suppressing his anger.

Yuan Shao hated him very much. It was Wang Kuang who was too useless and made him lose face in front of so many princes. He, who had always loved face, couldn't bear it and slapped the table: "Wang Kuang is such a waste!"

The princes of Guandong all looked gloomy. If you didn't let Wang Kuang get in a hurry, how could Wang Kuang end up now? Some former Yuan officials were heartbroken, and Yuan Shao was actually the master who shirked responsibility like this.

Jinbei Prime Minister Bao Xinteng stood up: "The leader, I am willing to go to Zhongmu, fight Xu Rong, and avenge the king's prefect!"

Wang Kuang was from Mount Tai, and Bao Xin was from Mount Tai. Wang Kuang was once a clerk of the General He Jin's mansion under the command of General He Jin, and Bao Xin was a cavalry commander under He Jin's command. The two had a close relationship, so they naturally had to jump out and avenge Wang Kuang without hesitation.

Bao Xin was a descendant of Bao Xuan, a captain of Sili. The Bao family was a family in Mount Tai, so Bao Xin recruited soldiers in his hometown and recruited 20,000 troops in just a few months, including 2,000 cavalry and more than 5,000 vehicles carrying food and supplies. It can be said that the soldiers are sophisticated and the food is enough, and the combat power among the princes of Guandong is among the top.

Yuan Shao was about to find a way to go, but when he saw Bao Xin jump out, he said casually: "General Bao is very loyal, and I am deeply impressed. So, after General Bao's request, you will lead the troops to fight Xu Rong!"

Bao Xin and Bao Yuncheng's face darkened, rushed out of the tent angrily, went to his own military camp, rectified the troops, and prepared to lead the Jibei army alone to fight Xu Rong. Cao Cao had an average relationship with Wang Kuang, but had a good relationship with Bao Xin. Seeing Bao Xin angrily rushed out of the tent, he hurriedly chased out: "Brother Yuncheng, don't raise troops because of anger. It's so easy to fall into Xu Rong's trap. Why don't we think about it again!"

Bao Xin said angrily: "Brother Meng De, what did the leader mean just now?! Do you want to repeat the scene of the princes attacking the Qin army at the end of Qin?!" The princes of various countries arrived at Julu, and faced the 400,000 troops led by Zhang Han, they all hid behind to watch the fun. Just watch Xiang Yu's Western Chu army and his family fought desperately in front!

Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said, "Yuncheng, you didn't see him coming here this time. He said that there are many Yellow Turbans in Runan, and the place is unstable. He did not bring any of the powerful generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but only brought 10,000 new soldiers. His mind is known to everyone. He just wants to protect himself and let our troops consume more. After Dong Zhuo was defeated, his troops would be strong, and he would be like Xiang Yu after the Qin Dynasty. We princes would bow to him!"

Bao Xin lamented: "What should we do now? Xu Rong is a general in Dong Zhuo's army. He has more than 30,000 Xiliang soldiers under his command, all of whom have been through the battlefield for a long time. Both of us are new soldiers who have only been in the army for several months. Even though the Taishan soldiers are fierce, they have little training and have never experienced the battle formation, so they are really vulnerable!"

Cao Cao thought hard for a moment and smiled: "I see that the general Lu Bu of the Northern Expedition Army brought 40,000 elite troops this time. The Central Army under his command was strict in training, strict military discipline, and well-equipped. In the past four or five months, he had fought with the White Bo thieves, the Black Mountain bandits, the Southern Xiongnus, and the Niu Fu and Yang Ding under Dong Zhuo. If he was invited to attack together, he would definitely be able to repel Xu Rong!"

It is secretly stated that the Bian River in Xingyang is actually located in the east of Luoyang, close to Chenliu County. The official history records that after Cao Cao's defeat in the Bian River, Sun Jian defeated Dong Zhuo and recovered Luoyang. Luo Guanshui did not look at the map when writing the Romance of the Romance, which made common sense mistakes. The time and space of the Three Kingdoms where Lu Bu lived were biased towards the official history, so he mainly focused on the official history and the Romance of the Romance was the deputy.

Bao Xin was overjoyed: "I had long seen that General Lu was also very dissatisfied with Yuan Benchu. General Lu supported the Han Dynasty and served the country with loyalty. He was the first to attack Dong Zhuo's alliance. It was only because of the many former officials of the Yuan family among the princes that he had to give up the position of leader to Yuan Shao. Otherwise, with General Lu's contribution to the court, Yuan Shao would be the turn of leader to be the leader!"

Cao Cao nodded: "I think General Lu Bu will definitely send troops. In addition, I see that Chenliu's prefect Zhang Miao is a friend of Lu Bu, and at the same time I am very dissatisfied with Yuan Shao. The 10,000 troops recruited by Yuan Shao from Runan were originally adapted from the Yellow Turban thieves. The thief's nature did not change and poisoned Chenliu. Zhang Miao repeatedly advised Yuan Shao to restrain his subordinates. Yuan Shao hated Zhang Miao deeply and once secretly told me that after attacking Dong Zhuo, he would kill Zhang Miao! I went to persuade him, and Zhang Miao would also send troops to unite our four families to deal with Xu Rong."

Cao Cao and Bao Xin came to the Central Army camp and asked to see Lu Bu. The guards went in to report. Cao Cao and Bao Xin looked at the Central Army camp with strict barriers and tight defenses. They couldn't help but admire: "No wonder Lu Bu was able to defeat the White Bo thieves, the Black Mountain bandits, and the Southern Xiongnu in succession, comparable to the famous generals of ancient times. They had the style of Zhou Yafu. The court had such a general to defend it. It was a blessing for the Han Dynasty!"

After a while, Lu Bu personally welcomed him out and bowed and smiled, "Isn't the Prime Minister Bao preparing for war? Is there anything important to find?" In the Han Dynasty, those who were named kings had a set of officials in the kingdom, and important officials were Fu, Prime Minister and Fu, who assisted the king's personal actions. Prime Minister, who was in charge of the civil affairs of the kingdom, had the power equivalent to the prefect of the county, and were appointed by the court. Bao Xin took office as Prime Minister of Jibei, which was equivalent to the prefect of Jibei County.

Cao Cao and Bao Xin told him about their purpose.

Lu Bu smiled bitterly and said, "I have just arrived in Chenliu. The troops were trapped and there were too many horses. I had to rest for a few days before I could send troops. What's more, our army was short of food and grass, and the food and grass in the rear were slow to provide food and grass. If I had to send troops, I had to wait until the food and grass in the rear were transported before I could send troops."

The first reason Lu Bu mentioned is indeed the truth, and the second reason is meaningful.

Cao Cao understood that Lu Bu and Bao Xinsu had no contact. Why did Lu Bu help? He smiled and said, "Food and grass are a problem for Fengxian, but it is not a problem for Yuncheng. Yuncheng transported 500 trucks of food and grass from Jibei. Before he handed over to Yuan Shu, he can allocate 100 trucks of food and grass to Fengxian."

Bao Xin smiled and said, "General, I am willing to allocate 100 trucks of food to the Central Army, and I would like to ask the General to help you with righteous help."

A large cart can barely have 100 stones of yellow rice, and a hundred large carts can barely have 10,000 stones. It can only be eaten by Lu Bu for 40,000 people for ten days. Lu Bu didn't take it seriously, he had something else to ask for.

Lu Bu bowed and smiled, "Prime Minister Bao, in addition to food and grass, Lu also asked for something."

Bao Xin quickly asked with a smile: "I don't know what it is, which can make the general embarrassed?" (To be continued...)
