Today, the apparent camp is still Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Cao Cao against Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, and Tao Qian.
For these forces, in the current situation, they have to be extremely cautious not to mention a fight or a quarrel.
If Cao Cao openly declares war on Tao Qian, it will affect the whole body of the two camps.
The short-lived peace is bound to be broken.
It was impossible for Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, and Gongsun Zan to stand still, but... in Lu Yu's opinion, Cao Cao was worrying too much.
It is true that the knock-on effect of the attack on Xuzhou was the end of peace and the resumption of war.
Gongsun Zan may rush to aid Tao Qian, but Yuan Shao will definitely attack Gongsun Zan;
Yuan Shu and Liu Biao had already had conflicts over the ownership of the land of Nanyang, and this time they were going to fight against each other in large numbers.
According to Lu Yu's analysis, it's not... to be precise, it's based on the records in ancient books and documents.
The powder keg of Xuzhou ignited chaos in the world...
What was directly caused was the collision of six forces, Cao Cao VS Tao Qian, Yuan Shao VS Gongsun Zan, Liu Biao VS Yuan Shu, and... Lu Bu and Liu Bei survived in the middle and jumped repeatedly.
In the meantime, what needs to be noted is...as long as Lu Bu fails to unite the Yanzhou clan, Cao Cao's rear is basically safe!
"When did Mr. Cao become so cautious?"
When Lu Yu spoke, he pointed out the key points without any ink.
"What Duke Cao is worried about is that all the princes are coveting Yanzhou and attacking Yanzhou. But in fact...how can those with such strength, such as Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Zan, have the time to set their sights on Yanzhou?"
"I'm afraid it won't be long before two of them start fighting... Once they start fighting, Duke Cao's only opponent will be Tao Qian of Xuzhou. Tao Qian is good at managing states and counties but not good at commanding troops in battle. He also lacks the skills of his subordinates.
How can a wise man be the opponent of Duke Cao?"
this…
Cao Cao paused, and Cao Ren also paused.
What Lu Yu said makes sense, but... there is a huge premise, that is, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Zan will fight in pairs. Who can predict such a thing accurately?
Will they really fight?
Cao Cao felt a little guilty in his heart...
After all, even if Lu Yu has a thorough understanding of the current situation, he is not a roundworm in the belly of these princes. How can he accurately judge the time for them to fight?
Cao Cao shook his head. "Let's do this... let's discuss this matter in front of a group of counselors at the government office tomorrow! At that time, everyone will express their opinions and decide how and when to attack Xuzhou!"
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have the same characteristic, that is, they like to hold meetings before war...
But there are some slight differences. Yuan Shao would get lost in the strategies proposed by the counselors in the meeting, but Cao Cao could always accurately choose the strategy that was most suitable for the current situation.
Although there is only one word between the two words "a good plan can be broken" and "a good plan has no reason", the results are completely different.
Of course, Cao Cao didn't think Lu Yu's proposal was bad, but he wanted to hear the opinions of those Yingchuan talents.
"Mr. Cao...this..." Lu Yu still wanted to speak.
"Okay!" Cao Cao patted him on the shoulder. "We won't talk about military affairs today. Let's go get something to eat first. Your sister is probably waiting impatiently in the dining hall... Hahaha..."
Every time he was with Lu Yu, Cao Cao was always in a particularly bright mood. This guy could always come up with some new strategies to break the situation, which made Cao Cao's eyes light up.
…
…
Yanzhou, at the foot of Mount Tai, is a farm.
A caravan walked in here. A burly man got off his horse and saluted the most burly and ferocious man here.
"Your Excellency, you are the Commander-in-Chief of the Dragon Knight Cavalry... I am Cao Chun, the Tiger Cavalry School Captain, and I am here to change defenses on orders from Duke Cao!"
This caravan is the "tiger" cavalry among the tiger and leopard cavalry, commanded by Cao Chun. Following Cao Cao's instructions, they disguised themselves as a caravan and came here to replace Dian Wei and Long Xiaoqi...
Cao Cao did not tell many people about the rescue of Cao Song and Cao De. No one knew about it except Cao Ren and his younger brother Cao Chun.
Even the Tiger Cavalry Legion here only knew who they were about to escort when they were about to arrive.
"It turns out it's Captain Cao. My young master sent someone to tell you." Dian Wei also bowed his hands and bowed in return. "We, Long Xiaoqi, will withdraw to Chenliu County right now, and I will leave this place to you..."
"Don't worry, Lieutenant Dian, we will protect the old master." Cao Chun's tone was quite serious.
"Brothers, let's go!" Dian Wei greeted and prepared to leave.
"Dian... a strong man stays behind, a strong man stays behind!"
Suddenly, a clear voice came from the farm, it was Cao De's voice... I saw Cao De supporting Cao Song and running out quickly, because the pace was too fast, Cao Song was panting.
When Dian Wei saw this, he hurried to meet them. Unexpectedly, Cao Song and Cao De fell to their knees with a "snap" sound.
“My benefactor, please accept my…I’m paying homage to you!”
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for elders to pay homage to younger generations, but saving lives is another matter...
This sudden kneeling made Dian Wei stunned for a moment.
"I have told you several times that I am only here to protect you at the request of my young master. If you thank me, it is my young master who should thank me!"
This was the countless time Dian Wei had said this, but Cao Song seemed to be addicted to kneeling, and he would kneel down every now and then.
Maybe I have been used to watching in court before, so I am used to it.
"I know... Mr. Lu saved this life. I also know... Mr. Lu placed me and De'er here for Meng De's great cause! Mr. Lu is helping Meng De plan a big game.
But...I can't kneel down to thank my benefactor in person...I feel really uncomfortable, only...only..."
At this point, Cao Song paused for a moment, and then knocked his head on the ground twice.
After doing this, he said: "I can only kowtow three times to the southwest to express my gratitude to Mr. Lu for saving my life, and to thank Mr. Lu for helping my son Mengde... I also hope that the strong man will take care of me."
arrive!"
Uh...this...
Dian Wei scratched his head. For a moment, he was too embarrassed to help Cao Song.
Kowtowing to yourself is something you deserve, but it seems that kowtowing to Mr. Lu Yu is a matter of course...
Dian Weiquan waited for Cao Song to finish kowtowing three times before helping him up. "Mr. Cao, just take a good rest. I will take my brothers back to return to Mr. Lu. I will definitely give you these three kowtows."
Take it to me, Mrs. Cao, don’t worry!”
"Thank you...Thank you so much, Hero Dian." Cao Song handed over his hand again and again.
Cao De also added a sentence at the right time. "Excuse me, the brave warrior Dian, please tell my elder brother that... Aweng and I are fine here. He doesn't need to worry about it. Let him do big things!"
Dian Wei nodded and said no more... then he got on his horse and rode away with Long Xiao's caravan.
Looking at the departing figures of Dian Wei and the knights from Longxiao Camp, Cao Song slowly narrowed his eyes and murmured to Cao De...
"Master Lu not only saved our lives, these elite knights under him are all tall and tough, and they don't look simple at all. This Master Lu is getting more and more unfathomable!"
"With his help, Mengde may really be able to create a different situation in these troubled times."
Hearing this...Cao De nodded heavily. "Yes, I heard from Dian Zhuangshi that Mr. Lu is only fifteen or sixteen years old. He can make such careful arrangements at such an age, and his future is limitless!"
Well...Cao De's words made Cao Song frown.
Fifteen or six years old? So meticulous...
So young? Cao Song immediately swallowed his saliva!
He realized something, something closely related to him, Cao Song, and Cao Cao... "Yinlin" seemed to have been fifteen years old last year when he "pointed out the maze and presented Meng De's brilliant strategy"! And he was at that time
Looking for the Lord.
call…
With a long exhale, Cao Song's eyes became much more serious. This Mr. Lu and "Yinlin" could not be the same...
