Chapter 204: Reactions from All Parties
Liu Pi's thoughts were within Liu Bei's expectation. Although the contact time was short, Liu Bei had fully understood that Liu Pi was very greedy.
Lu Su was a newly rising force with no base, so it was the kind of force that could take advantage of it. It was normal for Liu Pi to covet him.
But Liu Bei was a little worried. He couldn't help but said: "The most urgent task is to hold back Cao Cao as the main goal. Our existence is a powerful force for Mr. Yuan. We can affect Cao Cao's rear, but we must not use small It’s better to lose big.”[
Liu Bei euphemistically expressed the risks involved in attacking Lu Su, and also euphemistically expressed what the overall situation was. Yuan Shao's action of attacking Cao Cao should not be forgotten just because he wanted to annex Lu Su.
Lu Su started with 80 elite soldiers and 500 troops, and went all the way to the west, killing Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, Xu Qian and others with malicious intentions. Finally, he reached 50,000 troops and 500 elite troops. Even princes like Yuan Shao cannot underestimate him.
Neither ability nor wisdom is simple. Having learned from Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, Xu Qian, etc., Liu Bei feels that it is better not to harass him for the time being.
Liu Bei is a calm person and has an overall view of the situation. But he obviously gave Liu Pi a high look, and Liu Pi shook his head disapprovingly and said: "Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, Xu Qian and others are simply out of the ordinary, and I They are people who can fight against Cao Cao. They were all defeated by Lu Su and were injured, but that doesn't mean I can't do it either."
Liu Pi's words made him slightly dissatisfied. Liu Bei was filled with helplessness, knowing that continuing to speak would definitely hurt the friendship between the two.
We can only let him try, hoping he will never fail.
Liu Bei felt very helpless, and then the desire in Liu Bei's heart grew even more. If he now had ten thousand elite soldiers and several cities, how could he bow to someone like Liu Pi?
God, when will my era of Liu Bei come?
Liu Bei was speechless and asked the sky.
Next, Liu Pi ignored Liu Bei's polite objections and sent envoys to Lu Su's army.
Jiangdong, Baqiu, and Zhou Yu's camp.
During these days, Zhou Yu didn't sleep very well. He was really sad for losing Lu Su. There were even dark circles on his fair and handsome face.
Especially after hearing that Lu Su defeated Zheng Bao with 80 elite soldiers and 500 troops, and obtained 3,000 elite soldiers, Zhou Yu could not sleep even more.
On this day, Zhou Yu was reading in the Chinese army tent, but his mind was no longer on the book, but on Lu Su from afar. Zijing, why is this situation happening today?
Zhou Yu sighed in his heart.
Just when Zhou Yu sighed, a guard walked in from outside.
"General, the spies have heard about Lu Su's movements again." The guard reported.
"Say it quickly." Zhou Yu's spirit perked up slightly and he said.
"After Lu Su rested in Chaohu City for half a month, he led his troops to continue eastward. On the way, they encountered Zhang Duo and Xu Gan's attack. Lu Su led his troops to defeat Zhang Duo and Xu Gan. Zhang Duo died on the spot, and Xu Gan was captured first. After that, he was killed everywhere in Shu County. As a result, Lu Su gained control of the people and his power increased greatly."[
