Chen Gong also regained his composure and said with a wry smile, "If we choose to join forces with Gongsun Zan to attack Yuan Shao together, if we cause Yuan Shao to be dissatisfied, let him turn around and attack Yanzhou.
At this time, Gongsun Zan retreated, leaving us to fight until we both suffered losses, and then he came out to clean up the mess."
Lu Bu couldn't help being frightened when he heard this, "Gongtai, do you think this is possible?"
Chen Gong nodded, "Gongsun Zan is known as General White Horse. Everyone in Youzhou knows that this man is extremely cruel and kills without restraint. He even harmed the shepherds of Youzhou. You can imagine what this man is like."
Hearing this, Lu Bu also remembered what the lonely Xianyu said, and realized that what Chen Gong said was true, and couldn't help but frown.
"Gongtai, do you think that Gongsun Zan also has this intention when he wants to unite with us?"
Chen Gong hesitated for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "I don't know, but now that Gongsun Zan is facing danger, it is not impossible to bring the war to Yanzhou and then take the opportunity to regain his strength."
Lu Bu slammed the table angrily and shouted sternly, "Gongsun Zan, I originally wanted to help you, but I didn't expect you to have this intention. It's really hateful."
Hearing this, Chen Gong waved his hands hurriedly, "Marquis Wen, this is just my guess. As for what it is, I'm not sure. I just said it in advance so that everyone can be on guard."
Lu Bu nodded, his brows gradually furrowed, but he was thinking about this matter in his heart, how to make a decision?
Should we unite or reject?
If Gongsun Zan really wants to unite, this is really a good opportunity to defeat Yuan Shao.
Gongsun Zan is not weak in strength. At his peak, even Yuan Shao was quite afraid of him, so you can imagine how strong he must be.
Now that I have been defeated by Yuan Shao several times, my strength is no longer what it used to be. Perhaps it is for this reason that I want to join forces with myself to defeat Yuan Shao.
More importantly, Lu Bu is now certain that Gongsun Zan must be in the game. In other words, he knows history and what will happen in the future. He will also know when he will die.
No matter when anyone knows that he will die, I am afraid he will not give in and rise up to fight. This may be Gongsun Zan's resistance.
However, at the same time, Lu Bu also had some doubts in his heart. After Gongsun Zan learned about this period of history and had another adventure, would he be ambitious?
If he is ambitious, his enemies are not only Yuan Shao, but also himself, and even Cao Mengde and Liu Bei hiding in Xuzhou.
Chen Gong tentatively said, "Marquis Wen, why don't you send someone to Youzhou to investigate and see what the situation is like there?"
Lu Bu nodded, "That's okay. You can find a few smart people later, preferably people from Youzhou, so that they won't arouse others' suspicion, and see if you can figure out anything?"
Chen Gong nodded, then said goodbye and left to make arrangements for the spies to go to Youzhou.
……
On the second day, while Lu Bu was discussing matters with everyone, someone from the palace came to summon Lu Bu and asked him to go see the emperor.
Lu Bu felt strange and immediately went to the palace with his guards to meet him.
When he arrived at the palace, Lu Bu saw that everyone in the hall had already arrived, and Liu Xie was sitting high on the dragon chair, with smiles in his eyes.
"The general will finally meet His Majesty."
Liu Xie waved his hand, "General Lu, you came just in time. Everyone is discussing things in Xuzhou. What suggestions do you have?"
Yang Biao stepped forward, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Xuande is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and now he has occupied Xuzhou. Why not make him a state pastor and manage the place for your Majesty."
Hearing these words, Lu Bu couldn't help but be stunned, and then almost laughed out loud.
Isn’t this the plan between two tigers that I thought of yesterday!
Let Liu Xuande be the pastor of Xuzhou, which will arouse Cao Mengde's dissatisfaction, and the two will naturally fight.
Lu Bu hurriedly handed over his hand and said, "What Yang Taiwei said is true. Liu Xuande is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, so he is suitable to govern Xuzhou."
When everyone heard these words, naturally no one objected. Liu Xie nodded, "Let's handle this matter like this. Appoint Liu Xuande as the pastor of Xuzhou. I hope he can take care of himself."
Lu Bu smiled secretly in his heart. Although Liu Xuande was promoted this time, he also carried a burden unknowingly.
Cao Mengde has great ambitions. He will definitely not just want to occupy Xiaopei, but will definitely plot Xuzhou.
Moreover, according to Lu Bu's guess, Cao Mengde's plan to plot against Liu Bei is very likely to be the same as the lonely Xianyu said, and he will definitely succeed.
Then Cao Mengde occupied Xuzhou and drove Liu Xuande away.
However, the imperial court has appointed Liu Xuande as the Mu of Xuzhou. He has the responsibility to take Xuzhou back. If he dares not to go, he will immediately be ordered to attack Xuzhou.
In this way, when the two of them are both injured in the fight, Lu Bu can take action and eliminate them in one fell swoop.
Liu Xie didn't know that Lu Bu had seen through his idea and was still complacent about his plan. He completely forgot that the plan he came up with was actually said by Xun Yu and had nothing to do with him.
Since there was no one to object, the decree was quickly sent out, and people were sent to ride on fast horses and rush towards Xuzhou.
……
Xuzhou.
Cao Cao led his troops from Xiaopei and rushed to Xuzhou to join Liu Bei. They arrived ten miles away from Liu Bei's military camp. As soon as they set up camp, spies came to report.
"Reporting to my lord, the imperial court has issued a decree to appoint Liu Bei as the pastor of Xuzhou. Official documents and official seals have been issued."
When Cao Cao heard the news, he was shocked. He suddenly remembered what the player said, and an idea suddenly arose in his mind.
Two tigers competing for food!
Thinking of this idea, cold sweat suddenly broke out on Cao Cao's forehead, and he screamed in his heart. He was about to find someone to discuss it, but he heard someone reported that Liu Xuande sent someone to deliver a letter, asking Cao Cao to go and meet.
The meeting place was a temporary pavilion in the middle of the two military camps.
Cao Cao had no choice but to give up the idea of finding someone to discuss with him for the time being and took someone to meet with Liu Xuande.
It was impossible for Liu Bei to go to Cao Cao's military camp, and he also knew very well that similarly, it was impossible for Cao Cao to go to his military camp, so he built a pavilion between the two military camps for the two to meet.
Both of them knew what the other was thinking, so they stopped their troops at a distance and walked to the pavilion with only a few of their subordinates.
Liu Bei saw Cao Cao coming and immediately greeted him, "Mr. Cao, long time no see."
Cao Cao glanced at Guan Yu behind Liu Bei. Although he had heard from players that Guan Yu had passed five levels and killed six generals, he still couldn't help but appreciate it in his heart. At the same time, he became more aware that if he wanted to get Guan Yu, there was Xu Shu who escaped.
,Liu Bei is the biggest obstacle.
The two came to the pavilion and sat down. After saying a few polite words, they quickly turned to the topic. After all, time was tight and they had to come up with a way to defeat Yuan Shujun as soon as possible.
