Chapter 85: Playful? Just a talkative person
A few days ago.
Zhang Miao and others in Chenliu were still waiting for Xun Yu to take the initiative to help Lu Bu deliver food and grass!
However, Lu Bu and the others waited and waited, but could not wait for any news from Xun Yu to send grain, grass and military supplies.
In fact, Zhang Miao wrote several letters to Xun Yu, but there was no reply.
Only at this moment did Chen Gong realize that he and others might have been tricked by Xun Yu and others.
"Damn it, that Xun Yu pretended to be a humble gentleman, but he actually did this!"
Zhang Miao, who also realized something was wrong, couldn't help but cursed in the house.
At this time, Chen Gong's face turned a little dark.
"Meng Zhuo, I think Xun Yu realized something because he was afraid of trouble!"
The key figure among them is Xi Yu.
Yanzhou, something has indeed happened!
I heard that this man defeated Liu Bei in one fell swoop during the battle with generals.
In just a moment, Chen Gong already figured out how much damage this move would cause to Cao Cao.
There is no way to advance or retreat.
Whether he stays or not, the effect he can have is minimal.
Xuzhou, Cao Jun camp.
He said that with Xun Yu's intelligence, how could he not realize this, not to mention that Xiyu was also in Juancheng.
"Xiyu?"
He was able to take this opportunity to hit Cao Jun on the Xuzhou front line hard.
The latter was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to have such an opinion.
With his ability, wouldn't it be easy to seize Cao's army's food and grass?
What other towns need to be captured?
Hearing this, Cao Cao was a little shocked.
Xiahou Dun seemed to have learned of his arrival, and had been hiding in the city for days without any intention of going to war.
"Is what Zhicai said true?"
However, Yanzhou is the place where he made his fortune, and it is absolutely impossible for him to give up.
"My lord, there is no need to worry, Fengyi had predicted it before!"
Lu Bu frowned, in charge of the granary?
"Your Majesty, this is the person who became famous when Cao and Liu fought against each other the previous time!"
In his opinion, Xi Yu's reputation was just something Cao Cao took the opportunity to promote, and it was in name only.
"It is rumored that this person's force is strong enough to suppress Guan Zhang, but he is not inferior to you!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Gong immediately called the spies in.
It took less than two days to catch up with Cao Jun's grain transport team.
Once the important towns on Lu Bu's side were established, all areas of Yanzhou would surrender to Lu Bu, but he never expected that Lu Bu would encounter Xiahou Dun as soon as he came.
"You two, Yanzhou will be entrusted to you this time!"
If Lu Bu had launched a surprise attack earlier, Xun Yu would not have had time to arrange everything.
Wonderful, really wonderful!
On the other hand, when he first saw Xi Yu, he was just a talkative person!
"Your Majesty, Meng Zhuo, this person from Xiyu, has met him before!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao also nodded.
"How dare you make such a joke, Zhong?"
This can be said to be a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
Under such circumstances, Xun Yu could not stop Chen Gong's plan.
"What should we do now?"
Sure enough, what my brother said was indeed correct.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Cao Cao suddenly thought that it was time for the army to transport food and grass again.
However, if he is just a penniless counselor, then he will not be interested at all.
Lu Bu gritted his teeth and bit the two words very hard.
"forage!"
Zhang Miao looked at Lu Bu in front of him.
If it had been another defender, the town might have been captured by now.
The rebellions in various parts of Yanzhou could not be stopped by Xiyu alone.
"Hmph, that person will only hide in the town. If he fights with me in the wild, I will behead him within three days!"
Logically speaking, my brother should be excited because he knows things like a god.
Because of this, the other party would not be stupid enough to confront Lu Bu head-on.
On the contrary, this matter may even cause estrangement between him and Xi Yu.
After that, Xi Yu's reputation began to spread throughout the Han Dynasty.
But it would not be a pleasure to compete with a general who is rumored to be on par with him.
Zhang Miao beside him also nodded at this time.
Lu Bu felt that his thoughts suddenly became clear at this moment. After saying these words, he couldn't help but look at Chen Gong in front of him.
"Be loyal and transport food with peace of mind. I guarantee that Juancheng and other places will be safe!"
…
"For the current plan, we can only act according to the previous plan!"
They have absolute confidence in Lu Bu.
He subconsciously opened his mouth and muttered a few words. At this moment, Zhang Liao couldn't help but remind him aloud.
After hearing the whole process, Cao Cao was slightly stunned.
Cao Cao, who received the news immediately, thought it was Xun Yu joking with him.
"Taicang Order?"
At sunset, he caught up with the baggage camp in front of him who was escorting grain and grass.
For the present plan, only Cao's army can return.
"Lu Bu, why is it Lu Bu?"
However, now that most of the Yanzhou army has been led by Cao Cao, it is now impossible for Xun Yu and the others to completely control the entire Yanzhou.
And with Xun Yu and Cheng Yu there, it is not difficult to hold on to a few towns. In addition, there is also Xiahou Dun's garrison. At worst, we will just hold on to Juancheng in the end!
"That's good!"
Chen Gong laid out the plan casually, and Lu Bu beside him could only nod his head.
…
However, knowing such a thing now still made Cao Cao a little worried.
Chen Gong and others nearby heard this but did not refute. Lu Bu's military power was well known to the world.
The first town Lu Bu visited was Puyang.
Nowadays, the entire family members of Cao Ying basically live in Juancheng. Even if the entire Yanzhou falls, they must ensure that Juancheng is safe and sound.
As for Zhang Miao's Chenliu, it was only a mere place, and the time it could provide him could not last very long.
It is extremely difficult to have a figure like Lu Bu in the world.
After some time, he might be able to ask Xi Yu himself.
After leaving Chen Liu, the first thing Lu Bu did when he returned to the camp was to summon his generals.
"By the way, I heard the spies came to report that Cao Jun's grain and grass are already on their way to Xuzhou?"
Zhang Liao next to him didn't have much opinion.
To be honest, he felt a little uncomfortable if he was asked to withdraw to Yanzhou now.
Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong beside him with a dark face and said nothing.
There were a lot of rumors outside some time ago, and Lu Bu naturally heard about it, but he didn't take it to heart at all.
Lu Bu's fame had long spread throughout the world, and Xiahou Dun naturally knew how much he weighed.
Although he is tall, his figure is not that of Lu Bu.
Seeing Cao Cao like this, Xi Zhi felt that he still couldn't let Cao Cao lose like this.
But, this is not a good thing!
"Hasn't all Cao's army's food and grass been confiscated? Wouldn't it be easier for me to directly seize Cao's army's food and grass?"
Now they have received news that Cao's army has just set out with food and supplies, and all his men are Xiliang cavalry, chasing them day and night.
Zhang Liao reminded him, and then thought of the rumors about Xi Yu some time ago, and he subconsciously glanced at Lu Bu.
This move can solve his current need for food and grass.
"Meng Zhuo and I will inform the Yanzhou nobles to respond to the general's request together!"
How is this possible?
Was it because Xi Yu didn't take the initiative to mention this to him because of his friendship with Zhang Miao?
That's right, if Xi Yu had told him such a thing before, he wouldn't have believed it based on his trust in Zhang Miao.
Cao Cao felt like he was mourning his heir.
"I heard he's just a counselor, not a peerless general at all!"
However, if he withdraws to Yanzhou this time, he may not be able to control the towns in Xuzhou that he captured in the previous campaign.
"Be loyal and have peace of mind. As long as we are here, nothing will happen to Juancheng!"
I don't think I will be short of food and grass.
That Lu Bu actually appeared in Yanzhou.
By that time, Cao Cao cannot advance and capture Xuzhou, and cannot retreat to save Yanzhou.
However, I want to be on par with him, haha!
Lu Bu chuckled lightly, and when his eyebrows rose, there was obviously a hint of interest in his eyes.
How is it possible that another one will come out?
Zhang Yang will no longer provide him with any food and grass.
He was somewhat interested just now. If he really has the ability to defeat Guan Zhang and others, he would be interested in fighting with them.
His waist is like a pillar and his arms are like beams.
Zhang Liao also couldn't imagine such rumors. He knew very well how tyrannical Lu Bu's force was.
…
After some questioning, Lu Bu and others soon knew the location of Cao's army's grain road, and even more so that the person in charge of supervising the grain and fodder was Xi Yu.
At that time, Xiahou Dun had already been ordered to this place by Xun Yu.
Xiahou Dun was entrenched in the town and could not get out, while most of Lu Bu were Xiliang cavalry, not soldiers who were good at capturing towns.
but!
Chen Gong gave Lu Bu some advice. Now, he and Zhang Miao have communicated well with the Yanzhou nobles.
Xi Zhicai thought about it and gave a sigh of relief to Cao Cao.
It was precisely because he knew Lu Bu's tyranny that Zhang Liao knew that a strong general like this was extremely rare.
He has never met anyone in the world who can match his in terms of military strength.
It is rumored that when Cao Cao went to Xuzhou the previous time, Cao and Liu made a bet before the battle to fight against the generals.
At this moment, inside Lu Bu's camp.
Thinking that Xi Yu would meet such a fierce person as Lu Bu, Zhang Miao couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
At this moment, as Lu Bu led the cavalry, Xiahou Dun, who had originally planned to go out of the city to fight, suddenly changed his attention.
"oh?"
Xi Zhicai laughed helplessly, and then told Cao Cao the whole process that Xi Yu and himself had said before.
Lu Bu was a little disdainful.
Although the battle of Xuzhou is now in a stalemate, if the battle drags on, he is confident of annexing the entire Xuzhou.
His impression of that drama was not a good one.
Nodding towards the two of them, Xi Yu sent Dian Wei to lead the baggage battalion and set off slowly, then returned to the Xi's house and gave Gan Mei a few words.
At this moment, they only need to stick to the town they currently control, and wait for a while until Cao Cao takes action.
Xiyu did the right thing.
"What Gongtai said is true. I have met Xi Yu!"
It’s really hateful!
"Lord, Fengyi has already predicted it before, and I think he already has a back-up plan, so we don't have to worry about it for the time being!"
This sounds really weird. Xi Yu had already predicted it before Zhang Miao and others rebelled?
How is it possible?
After hearing this, Chen Gong frowned and nodded subconsciously.
"Do you know which road Cao Jun's grain road is, and who is responsible for supervising the grain transport team?"
Lu Bu next to him also had a dark complexion.
Isn't it easier to directly seize the food and grass that Cao Jun has prepared?
Although the situation in Yanzhou seems a bit unfavorable at the moment, what is unexpected is that Xiahou Dun of Puyang actually blocked Lu Bu.
"Just a counselor?"
trouble!
Even though he has outstanding military strength, perhaps the only thing he can guarantee during the entire Yanzhou rebellion is that nothing will happen to his family!
"oh?"
Chen Gong spoke up.
Only then did Xiahou Dun realize why Xun Yu ordered him to garrison here.
The person in front of him has a majestic physique, and he is vaguely powerful just standing in front of him.
Xi Yu turned around and looked at Xun Yu and Cheng Yu in front of him.
A few days later, Lu Bu led Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others all the way to Juancheng.
But in the past few months, Cao's army had fallen into a stalemate in the battle of Xuzhou ahead.
For Lu Bu, what he is most in need of right now is food and grass.
Xi Yu and others naturally reacted to the fact that Chen Gong and Zhang Miao were traveling around Yanzhou.
Nowadays, the war in Xuzhou is raging, and something like this happened in Yanzhou in the rear area. It is a huge blow to him.
"What you said is true, this move is indeed a wonderful move!"
"I am somewhat interested in him. Since he happens to be escorting grain and fodder, it is a perfect fit!"
"General Lu can lead his troops to attack directly this time!"
Cao Cao was somewhat in a trance after receiving Xun Yu's letter.
He even thought that their letters had been changed.
Yanzhou, Juancheng!
The new supplies of grain and grass have been loaded onto trucks by the supply battalion.
Zhang Liao said something brilliant.
Zhang Miao and others indeed had different intentions, but now that this matter has been verified, Xi Zhicai is not happy at all.
After realizing that he had been tricked, Zhang Miao felt helpless and could only look at Chen Gong unwillingly.
However, when Xun Yu's second and third letters came, Cao Cao had to believe it.
Xi Zhicai next to him was quite emotional.
Then he told him what Xiyu had reminded him earlier.
"Fengyi had anticipated this before it happened?"
The martial arts of Guan and Zhang are somewhat recognized by him. Their ability is superior to that of Guan and Zhang, so they are quite capable!
Now that Xi Yu and Xun Yu were behind him, he felt more secure.
When the time comes, if Xuzhou can breathe again, the attack on Xuzhou will probably be even more difficult than these two times.
Lu Bu curled his lips and chuckled.
"Your Majesty, this person is the Taicang Order who was previously rewarded by the imperial court!"
It's approaching May.
However, Cao Jun is currently in Xuzhou, and the weather is with me.
When Xi Yu led the baggage battalion to press the military supplies needed by Cao's army, he once again marched towards Xuzhou.
Cheng Yu beside him also nodded.
Xun Yu nodded. At this moment, whether Xi Yu stays or not does not actually affect the overall situation.
Chen Gong was a little helpless. After all, his plan failed, and he was even tricked by Xun Yu.
"That's him!"
How could he trust Zhang Miao so much that he could do such a thing?
"Your Majesty, for this plan, we will move to fight the other towns in Yanzhou!"
"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to capture a place, so that the worry of food and grass can be easily solved!"
A literary advisor can be easily crushed by his hands.
It’s because he thought a little too simply!
"Yes, the grain and grass collected by Yanzhou a few days ago have been transported from Juancheng to Xuzhou, and they have just set off now!"
Zhang Miao and Chen Gong welcomed Lu Bu into Yanzhou and carried out rebellion?
As if he realized that his plan to seize Yanzhou was not going well, Lu Bu's face was obviously angry.
It will be impossible to withdraw the troops and return to Yanzhou for a period of time.
As if he thought of something, Lu Bu suddenly raised his head and asked Chen Gong.
Without this food and grass, Cao Cao in Xuzhou would have no choice but to withdraw his troops, and Lu Bu had already occupied the entire Yanzhou by then.
Hearing this, Lu Bu just frowned.
It would be a waste of time to wait until a town is captured and then confiscate it locally or ask for it from the nobles.
"Counting the days, our army's food and grass can't last more than a month. It's time for the food and grass for the supply camp to arrive, right?"
"Although his body shape is similar to that of Junhou, his figure is not as majestic as Junhou. Instead, he looks a bit frail!"
…
After deciding to seize the food and grass, Lu Bu casually asked Chen Gong.
There was no need to delay the supply of grain and fodder ahead. The collected grain and fodder had already been loaded onto the truck. As the commander of the baggage battalion, Xi Yu naturally had to set off with the baggage battalion.
If he could be killed by Lu Bu or humiliated by Lu Bu, it would make him happy.
"That's just a false reputation that Cao Cao used to spread!"
Nowadays, various places in Yanzhou are unstable, and food and grass matters are the top priority.
Lu Bu frowned slightly.
Speaking of Xi Yu, Chen Gong made a casual comment.
It was Chen Gong who planned for him and settled in Yanzhou. Why did he rebel again now?
Is it because he has neglected Chen Gong now?
Zhang Miao, this person is a close friend who is worthy of being entrusted to his family and relatives, so how could he betray him?
This is a scheming strategy and there is nothing you can do about it.
The dilemma can be solved!
Then the three of them started to act independently without any further words.
For a person who is rumored to be as powerful as him, this really inspired his fighting spirit!
If it was just robbing for food and grass, it would seem a bit boring.
It seems that this name Lu Bu has been heard before, and it sounds familiar.
It will not be easy to capture Xiahou Dun this time.
Lu Bu only needs a few towns in Yanzhou, whether it is to collect grain and grass on the spot, or to ask for it from the Yanzhou nobles.
Nowadays, Xi Yu is responsible for transporting grain and grass.
What's the difference between asking him to fight Lu Bu and sending him to death?
Xiyu naturally understood what the two of them meant.
Now, he led his troops from Hanoi to Yanzhou, and the army was consuming a lot of food and grass every day.
The signs of warming weather are becoming more and more obvious.
Lu Bu, who was unable to capture Puyang on the other side, had no choice but to withdraw his troops.
He had met Xi Yu, and seeing that Lu Bu seemed to be interested in him, he immediately added.
As for the rumored drama, maybe it is just a rumor.
And such things as rumors are the most untrustworthy.
After putting aside his impression of Xi Yu, Lu Bu laughed.
He followed without any hesitation and immediately ordered his generals.
In the afternoon of that day, Lu Bu led a thousand Xiliang cavalry under his command and began to pursue Xuzhou that day.
