Five hundred and sixtieth eight chapters tripartite alliance
Shen Pei obviously understood the harm Lu Bu suffered in Yuan Shu's place quite comprehensively and thoroughly. The rhetoric in this regard was fully prepared. Shen Pei made Yuan Shao's stern corporal, famous in the world, both civil and military, and was full of heroism, and could not do so if Lu Bu was not moved.
So Lu Bu decided to go back to Yuan Shao's mansion with Shen Pei first, and Shen Pei happily agreed to Lu Bu's careful proposal. In order to distinguish it from him and Yuan Shu, Lu Bu changed his usual rules and acted the opposite way. He did not hold a banquet for Lu Bu and was not in a hurry to introduce him to Jizhou, just like treating him as a visiting guest. Therefore, for a long time, the Jizhou Mountain did not know that the famous Lu Bu was in Yecheng.
Those who accompanied Lu Bu all day long were Yuan Shao's trusted advisers: Shen Pei, Ju Su, Feng Ji, etc. These people took turns to accompany Lu Bu to talk about everything and visit famous places and historical sites in various parts of Jizhou, allowing Lu Bu to appreciate the richness and prosperity of Jizhou's resources, which made Lu Bu even more excited to join Yuan Shao.
When Lu Bu saw the prosperity of Jizhou and the strong soldiers of Yuan Shao, Lu Bu decided to follow Yuan Shao without hesitation. However, Ju Su shouted to slow down. After several days of contact, Ju Su obtained an important message from Lu Bu, and he had subordinates working in Kaiyang, Xuzhou.
This is such an important reminder for Ju Su, who is preparing for the Xuzhou plan. He suggested to Yuan Shao that the use of Lu Bu's relationship in Xuzhou should be used to develop Lu Bu as part of Xuzhou's plan.
Yuan Shao listened to Ju Su's suggestions, and he thought Ju Su's suggestions were very helpful to his grand career. So he asked Lu Bu to discuss it with him, asking him to become his undisclosed subordinate, and gave him two thousand troops. The first task was to ask him to go to Kaiyang, Xuzhou, contact his old subordinates, and prepare to plan for Xuzhou. Lu Bu is now ready to handle the job.
It turned out that Yuan Shao and his advisers had always had comprehensive plans and considerations for the Qizhou of Xu, Ji, Yan, Yang, You, and Liang. After Yuan Shao entered Jizhou and became stronger, Ju Su, Shen Pei and others began to design a plan for pacifying the world for Yuan Shao. This is a path that the Yuan Shao group, which has political vision, political ambitions, and wants to seek greater development. It is a path that their Yuan family should take, and it is also a path that their Yuan family can take. So far, the Yuan brothers still control the best prefectures and counties in the Han Empire, and are still the richest and most powerful, and the only family with the strength to pacify the world.
Although the two brothers are in conflict and even fight each other, when they can really pacify the world and change the sect, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu both think that they can reach an agreement.
When Yuan Shao sent troops to Youzhou, Xuzhou plans were launched at the same time and began to deploy. Yuan Shao had been eyeing these surrendered or refused to surrender to his neighbors. According to the plan formulated by Ju Su for him, he first joined forces with Cao Cao to suppress Yuan Shu's development momentum, and then Yuan Shao turned to solve Gongsun Zan of Youzhou and pacified the north. During this period, Cao Cao was prompted to send troops to Xuzhou first, because Cao Cao and Tao Qian were divided into two hostile political and military alliances, and Cao Cao did have plans for Xuzhou.
It is not the most important thing for Cao Cao or Tao Qian to win this battle in the end. Although Cao Cao still surrenders to him now, Yuan Shao has long distrusts this ambitious buddy. Yuan Shao's ultimate goal is to drive away all these political allies with two hearts. After he acquires several northern states, he will control the Xu and Yan states and connect his career territory into one. At that time, the world will not be as good as Yuan.
This plan is huge and very tempting. Now that Lu Bu joins and can also install an insider in Xuzhou, it is like a tiger adding wings, and Yuan Shao naturally wants to make great efforts to promote it.
Of course, with Yuan Shao's personal lobbying and guarantee, Lu Bu readily agreed to serve Yuan Shao.
At this time, as long as someone gave him troops, it would be fine. Lu Bu brought the hard-won two thousand soldiers and horses all the way south to Kaiyang.
Kaiyang was at the boundary of Xuzhou at this time, but in a very remote county in Xuzhou Langya County. The Tibetan Ba belonged to Tao Qian's generals who led troops to guard the place. There were only one thousand troops there. However, Lu Bu's old subordinates collected many Sun Guan, Wu Dun, and Yin Li. However, since the Tibetan Ba had taken advantage of Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou, Tao Qian had no time to take care of the plan and began to prepare for his own initiative and no longer obey Tao Qian's orders. This idea was good, but Kaiyang was located in the remote Langya, and there were not enough materials and soldiers. The Tibetan Ba who had not yet dominated the entire Langya was making a fuss at this time.
Lu Bu led his troops to Kaiyang, and first took out all the property and the supplies given to him by Yuan Shao and handed them over to the Tibetan Ba to help him overcome the difficulties. Then when he was planning to develop, he found that Cao Cao was likely to win a complete victory in this battle against Xuzhou.
Lu Bu didn't have his own ideas. He had to consider his survival issues when he was not sitting on his butt. Yuan Shao's plan must be immature at this time. If Lu Bu sticks to Kaiyang, he may be destroyed by Cao Cao. Lu Bu didn't want his career to be a little bit angry, and he was wiped out like this.
So, Lu Bu thought of a solution. In the name of reinforcement of Yuan Shao to send troops to Youzhou, he left Xuzhou, a place of right and wrong, and quietly went to Youzhou. When he arrived at Baoqiu, he did not send troops to assist in the war. Instead, he sent a secret letter to Yuan Shao, asking him whether he would go to fight and kill Gongsun Zan, and caught him off guard.
This letter that was so miserable was the one that almost killed Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao, who was advancing towards Baoqiuhe, hurried to the left and rear of the central army to meet Lu Bu, because Lu Bu said that he had transported his troops. In fact, it was Lu Bu nonsense. How dare he go so close to the front line? This turned out that Yuan Shao almost died. Afterwards, Yuan Shao had no time to verify whether Lu Bu was on the left side of the central army. He just replied and scolded Lu Bu, how could he not defend the army order and privately lead his troops to leave Xuzhou and ordered him to go back immediately.
How could Lu Bu go back like that? He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go back to Bingzhou, the old base, to find a few old subordinates, and expand his troops. He also wanted to recruit some soldiers from his hometown like Tao Qian crossed the river to Danyang to recruit soldiers.
But unexpectedly, he met Cao Zhi and Guan Yu, and met Guan Yu to fight for a "property dispute". When he met Cao Zhi, Lu Bu thought that it was equivalent to the starting capital he had recruited for his horse. He knew that Cao Zhi was deceived by Ji Wu and had been resentful about this matter. Lu Bu thought that he killed Dong Zhuo, and of course Ji Wu's spoils should belong to him. But Cao Zhi stole the chicken, but it doesn't matter. Now the cycle of nature has sent Cao Zhi to him again.
While Lu Bu saw Cao Zhi clearly, he looked excited, half because of anger, and half because of secret joy.
Cao Zhi was quite good at understanding. As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew if Lu Bu was short of money. After Lu Bu was stubborn, he hurriedly asked Cao Zhi: "How do you plan to settle our grudges?"
Cao Zhi looked outside the house with a smile and replied, "Lu Bu, don't rush to ask me...hehe, even if I give you that batch of things now, you can't take them away. You can see the environment we are in first?"
"By the way, how could we get to Ma Chao's military camp?" Cao Zhi reminded him that Lu Bu, who came to his senses, just cared about military pay, had forgotten how he was in Ma Chao's military camp.
Cao Zhi glanced at Lu Bu helplessly and replied, "You made such a big noise with Guan Yu and demolished Zhang Liao's house. How could you not attract Ma Chao?"
"Oh!" Lu Bu nodded recalling. Before he fainted, all he could remember was the fierce fight with Guan Yu. It turned out that they had collapsed Zhang Liao's ancestral house. This made Lu Bu feel deeply sorry for Zhang Liao, but he didn't have time to consider compensation and apologize. Now the most important thing is how to get out.
Lu Bu knew that he had a bad reputation, especially in the eyes of the current ruler of Bingzhou, he was a thorn in the eyes that Han Sui and others wanted to remove. After this reaction, Lu Bu immediately asked Cao Zhi: "Han Sui, has Ma Teng come to Yanmen?"
"without!"
Cao Zhi had found the "urgency" he wanted from Lu Bu's reaction.
After giving Lu Bu a reassurance, Cao Zhi seized the opportunity and said, "Lu Bu, we should now consider how to leave Yanmen and escape from heaven!"
Lu Bu opened his tiger's eyes, tilted his head, looked at Cao Zhi who was standing by the bed, and sneered twice, "Hmph" and said, "What's your opinion?"
Lu Bu asked this because he was not without gains or losses. After Cao Zhi reminded him of his current situation, he first responded with a hurry. Since Ma Chao could let Cao Zhi and Zangba and others see him, it seemed that there was no military guard in this room, which means that Cao Zhi had a plan to escape.
After Lu Bu's question, Cao Zhi was shocked and thought to himself: "This guy reacted very quickly, and he could know immediately that I had a plan to escape!"
But at this time, Cao Zhi didn't want to fight with Lu Bu any more. He just wanted to achieve his goal as soon as possible. So Cao Zhi said directly: "Lu Fengxian, if you want to leave safely, we have to cooperate!"
“How to say it?”
"I have already talked to Ma Chao. He told me to leave today. I will turn back to Jizhou with the Wuhuan soldiers outside Yanmen to pacify the Black Mountain bandits!" Cao Zhi paused and checked Lu Bu's reaction.
Lu Bu listened to Cao Zhi's plan to escape seriously. Seeing Cao Zhi suddenly paused, his eyes rolled, and said in a bad tone: "What does this have to do with me?"
Cao Zhi grinned and said, "Hehe, of course it's related. Lu Bu, I have told Ma Chao that you and I are all on the way, and we will turn back to Jizhou to eliminate the black bandits!"
"Fart, fart!" When Lu Bu heard that Cao Zhi had grouped him and Cao Zhi without his permission, he got up and said angrily: "I want me to go with you, dream about you!"
Cao Zhi might have expected Lu Bu to react when he heard this. Lu Bu got angry, and he didn't care. He said casually: "That's OK, just stay here, wait for Han Sui and Ma Teng to come, you can continue your friendship, I'm leaving!"
"Stop!" Lu Bu said something angry just now, but after thinking about it, he regretted it. He knew that he would not be able to get out of Yanmen without relying on Cao Zhi at this moment. If Han Sui and Ma Teng were really allowed to come, he would have no way to die.
"You and I can cooperate once in name, but after Yanmen, it doesn't matter! You have to take those...
When Cao Zhi heard Lu Bu's words, he smiled quite unrestrainedly. After laughing, he was not satisfied with his anger, and then said: "There is such a cheap thing in the world. If you want to use me to help you get out, you kick me away after using it. I have to give you money. Lu Bu, do you think it's possible? Do you think I will agree?"
When Cao Zhi said this, his face turned cold with a smirk.
Lu Bu was also not willing to be outdone, his face also turned cold and threatened: "If you don't agree, I will tell the world that you have a huge treasure and let all the heroes in the world come to chase you!"
"Hmph!" Cao Zhi was stunned by Lu Bu's threat, and spread his hands and said, "Then let's talk! I won't leave anymore. At worst, I can exchange those things for my life! I heard that Han Sui and Ma Teng are quite short of money recently."
"You..." Lu Bu was immediately angry about Cao Zhi's rogue. Lu Bu kept this matter in his heart, just to threaten him one day and win something for himself. But if Cao Zhi really did that at this time, it would not only be of no benefit to him, but would also take his life together.
Lu Bu shook his sweat and stared at Cao Zhi fiercely, gasped for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and compromised, "You are so cruel, and I'm talking about how to cooperate in detail?"
Cao Zhi's tense face immediately changed his bad face as Lu Bu compromised, and he looked like a hipster and smiling face and was easy to discuss. He said to Lu Bu: "Brother Lu, I don't care if you tied up that powerful person now. This time you have to go to Jizhou with me. If you lead your troops to Jizhou, I just need to help me fight a battle and win any of the Heishan Army, you will be considered completing the task. Isn't that difficult?"
"It's not difficult! But I don't have any soldiers, you have to..."
Lu Bu also wanted to learn from Cao Zhi to make the rogue, and wanted to use Cao Zhi's troops to complete the task. But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cao Zhi and said, "Brother, stop kidding. The three thousand troops you hid in the Taihang Mountains are definitely enough. I just need you to use the surprise troops."
Lu Bu was angry again, and then he thought that when he was in a coma, it must be that Zangba had not kept his mouth tight and leaked the bottom.
Since there is no way to hide it, Lu Bu can only agree. But Lu Bu is also grateful that Cao Zhi had not heard any key content when he eavesdropped on his conversation with Zhang Liao. Otherwise, with this kid's shrewdness, he would have guessed Yuan Shao's plan to Xuzhou. If Yuan Shao's big event was ruined, his value would immediately disappear. By then, Lu Bu lost Yuan Shao's big backer, and even if he could keep the two thousand soldiers and horses that Yuan Shao gave him, he would be annexed and wiped out every minute.
When Lu Bu could not lose Yuan Shao's support, Lu Bu hoped that no one knew the secret between him and Yuan Shao.
"Okay, anyway, when you get on your pirate ship, you can only do this first. Then after you fulfill your promise, you must fulfill your promise immediately."
"no problem......"
Cao Zhi was placing blank checks randomly, but he was a little proud now. His originally simple trip to Yanmen was in accidents and dangers. Not only did he turn danger into safety, but he also expanded his two allies. One was a transaction, and the two could help him send troops. In the next drama, Cao Zhi had foreseen glory and victory.
Then Cao Zhi discussed the details of the troops with Lu Bu for half an hour, and called him the Tibet Ba. Zhang Liao discussed a lot.
Zhang Liao is now equivalent to being forced to be forced by Lu Bu and Cao Zhi on their ship. He now stands up and says that he is neutral, who will believe it?
Everything was discussed and it was almost noon. Cao Zhi left Lu Bu's barracks and went straight to Ma Chao to say goodbye. Ma Chao was not the one who went back on his word. He personally sent Cao Zhi and Lu Bu and the others out of seclusion.
Coincidentally, the group had just passed the test and happened to meet Cao Xiu who had turned around, and there were Le Jin and a team of people behind him. There were a large number of people, with a total of thousands.
It turned out that Cao Xiu, who had left the seclusion last night, met Le Jin who was carrying reinforcements and rushed to rescue him on the road. Le Jin had settled the representative of Wuhuan and contacted the scouts and men who had sneaked into the city. But before he could catch up with the decisive battle between Lu Bu and Guan Yu, he found that Pang De had sent troops to surround the area. Later, the house collapsed, and Le Jin was far away. He thought it was caused by the fierce battle between Cao Zhi and others with Pang De's troops.
Le Jin wanted to rush over to save people at this time, but he was passionate, but he was not a reckless man. He looked at the dozens of people around him, and rushing over to be useless. So he endured his anxiety and left the people to continue monitoring. After rushing to the gate before closing, he quickly rushed out of the pass and headed straight for his own camp stationed under the Great Wall Pass, and transferred a thousand people back in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, he met Cao Xiu halfway. Cao Xiu told Le Jin about Cao Zhi's request for money in Ma Chao's military camp, and Le Jin breathed a sigh of relief. But Le Jin brought troops and didn't bring money! Le Jin didn't care at this time and ordered people to cross the Great Wall to transfer money to the other two thousand guards stationed in the Great Wall. He and Cao Xiu continued to lead troops to Yanmen. Le Jin's suggestion was to be relieved to see Cao Zhi's safety first, otherwise he would take these thousand troops to attack Yanmen first.
When Ma Chao saw Cao Zhi's subordinates transfer a unit so quickly, he was shocked and said to himself: "Fortunately, I didn't have a slut with Cao Zhi, otherwise Yanmen might not be able to defend it."
Cao Zhi thought Cao Xiu was escorting money so quickly, but later he asked, "I don't have money."
