"Lord, our biggest obstacle is Lu Fengxian, Liu Xuande and Cao Mengde in the north."
"There is also Yuan Shao, who occupies the four states, and is also a strong enemy."
When Yuan Shu heard this, he said calmly: "Lu Fengxian is a reckless man. I have many ways to deal with him. As for Liu Xuande, a man who weaves mats and sells shoes, so what if he has one third of Xuzhou?"
"As for Cao Amo, hey, I never took him seriously."
Yuan Shu was very disdainful.
"As for Yuan Benchu, he is my clan brother. When I become emperor, I will make him a king and gradually reduce his military power."
Speaking of this, Yuan Shu couldn't help but think about Liu Biao in Jingzhou.
"That old guy Liu Biao, you have to be careful."
"My lord, Liu Biao and Sun Boxu have a grudge against killing their father. We can ask Sun Boxu to keep an eye on Liu Biao for us." The counselor came up with an idea.
"Yes, when Sun Quan came to my place, he knelt down and worshiped me." Yuan Shu said with a smile.
As long as there is no chaos in the north and south, he has nothing to worry about.
Moreover, the Sun family in the east is subordinate to him.
As for the west, Guo Si and Li Jue in the west will be fighting among themselves, and since they hold the emperor in their hands, there is a high probability that they will not come.
"First settle the matter in Xuzhou, and then let's talk." Yuan Shu made a decision.
Subsequently, Yuan Shu formulated a series of policies, became in-laws with Lu Fengxian, arranged a baby marriage, and sent troops to attack Liu Bei.
Liu Bei just had a piece of land, but he was beaten before it developed. He had no choice but to ask Lu Fengxian for help.
But Lu Feng first accepted the gold and silver and was promised various benefits, so he had no choice but to stand still.
When Chen Gong learned that Yuan Shu was calling, Lü Bu did not move, so he immediately went to persuade Lü Bu.
"Fengxian, Yuan Shu has already called, but you are still living here in a state of debauchery." Chen Gong hated the fact that iron cannot be transformed into steel.
"He didn't call to beat me, but the three Liu Xuande brothers. What does it have to do with me?" Lu Bu said with disdain on his face.
"Don't you understand the principle of dying lips and cold teeth?" Chen Gong said loudly.
"Yuan Shu gave me gold, silver and jewels and married me. What's the problem? Chen Gong, you're making a fuss out of a molehill." Lu Bu felt a little unhappy.
"Lu Fengxian!" Chen Gong shouted, and then said: "If you don't send troops today, what will you do if Yuan Shu turns around and attacks you tomorrow?"
"Even if Yuan Shu doesn't attack you, don't forget that there are Yuan Shao to the north, Cao Cao to the east, and stronger enemies to the west."
"Stop drinking and quickly lead the troops to fight!" As Chen Gong spoke, he was about to grab Lu Bu's wine flask, but Lu Bu pushed him away.
"I have rebelled against you. Am I the lord or are you the lord? I won't send troops unless I say so. Yuan Shu dares to attack me?" Lu Bu said angrily.
"Shuzi, I'm ashamed to be in your company!"
Chen Gong angrily pointed at Lu Bu's nose and cursed, then walked away with a puff of sleeves.
"Get out of here!" Lu Bu yelled, blushing angrily.
"General, don't be angry, let's have a glass of wine." Diao Chan snuggled into Lu Bu's arms and toasted Lu Bu.
"My Chan'er understands me, but Chen Gong doesn't understand anything." Lu Bu picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and continued to enjoy himself.
On Liu Bei's side, the situation was not very good, and cities were lost one after another.
Under Yuan Shu's attack, Liu Bei simply couldn't withstand it.
The soldiers under Yuan Shu's command are all arrogant and capable soldiers, and they are well-trained elite soldiers, which cannot be compared with the disorganized Yellow Turban Army.
After several battles, Liu Bei lost many cities.
"His grandma's third-name slave, Lu Fengxian, watched us being beaten and he actually stood still." Zhang Fei cursed.
"It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. Lu Fengxian cannot be relied on." Guan Yu said, twirling his beard.
"Defend the city as much as you can." Zhao Yun answered.
"It's so good, why is Yuan Gongli so crazy?" Liu Bei couldn't understand.
Yuan Shu didn't hit Liu Biao but came to hit himself. Was it because he was easy to bully?
"Brother, they are here again!" Guan Yu suddenly pointed forward.
"Get ready to meet the enemy!" Liu Bei said, and then defended the city wall.
After several days,
Lu Bu put down his wine glass and put on his armor.
"General, are you going on an expedition?" Diao Chan came out and asked.
"Well, it's almost done." Lu Bu said calmly.
"Sir, Yuan Shu has defeated several cities in a row, and now Liu Bei and the others are retreating to Xiaopei." the soldier replied.
"Okay, summon the three armies and follow me on the expedition!"
Lu Bu waved his hand and led his soldiers to the battle.
Lu Bu captured all the cities captured by Yuan Shu's soldiers and brought them into his own territory.
Lu Bu set up camp one mile southwest of Xiaopei and sent his guards to invite Ji Ling and other generals.
And Lu Bu also came from Liu Bei's side.
"Lu Fengxian, what do you mean?" Ji Ling, a leader in Yuan Shu's camp, asked.
"Haha, what's the point? Yuan Shu instigated a rebellion among my men. What should I say about this?" Lu Bu looked gloomy.
Ji Ling had nothing to say.
"This battle is over. Brother Xuande has taken over Xiaopei and formed a powerful force with me. How about that?" Lu Bu looked at Liu Bei.
"Listen to the general." Liu Bei replied.
He has no place to go now, so he can still go back to Xiaopei, which is a good thing.
"Then I have to fight?" Ji Ling said.
Lu Bu said to Ji Ling and others: "Xuande is my good brother, Lu Bu. Now he is surrounded by everyone, and I came here specially to save him. I, Lu Feng, don't like to watch others fight with each other. I only like to resolve disputes for others."
.”
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he ordered his people to put up his Fang Tian Hua Ji in the camp gate.
He said to everyone: "Look at the small branch on the halberd when I shoot it. If the shot hits the target, you all should stop attacking immediately and leave here. If the shot fails, then you will stay and fight Liu Xuande to the death."
Upon hearing this, Liu Bei visually measured the distance and muttered to himself: "This place is hundreds of steps away from the camp gate. I'm afraid it will be difficult to shoot."
Ji Ling looked at the distance and nodded.
"Even if his martial arts skills are superb and he can pierce a Yang with a hundred steps, he still won't be able to hit Xiao Zhi."
Lu Bu drew his bow and shot an arrow at the halberd, which hit the small branch.
Liu Bei was greatly shocked and praised quickly: "General, you are really as powerful as a god!"
Ji Ling's face was extremely ugly, but he finally came to his senses.
Lu Bu was putting pressure on him.
He can pierce an enemy with a hundred steps and shoot himself with ease.
"Okay, I'll withdraw my troops!" Ji Ling gritted his teeth and said.
"That's right." Lu Bu said with a smile, drinking with everyone.
Xiaopei was acquired by Liu Bei, and formed a powerful horn with him, which could resist the attacks of other princes.
He needs Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also needs himself.
And Liu Bei's original city also belonged to him.
Lu Bu thought he had made a good calculation.
But he didn't expect that Liu Bei had already been disappointed with him. If he was in trouble in the future, Liu Bei would not care about him.
However, Lu Bu still made a profit, most of Xuzhou was in his hands, and only a small part was left to Cao Cao.
The land of Xuzhou owned by Cao Cao happened to be in Lu Bu's belly, and Lu Bu had no idea about it.
It can only be said that Cao Cao has a very deep layout.
With the north pacified, Yuan Shu was ready to proclaim himself emperor.
