History is a fait accompli. Failure or victory is very intuitive. People often feel that since this road is a failure, they naturally assume that the other road must be the road to success.
But in fact, it's not necessarily true.
This road won't work, but the other road may lead to faster death.
Chen Gong is one of the wisest men in the world. How could he not have considered these things that Chu Nan was worried about? Indeed, if Liu Bei is driven away, Xuzhou's strength will inevitably be damaged and it will be more difficult to resist foreign enemies. However, if Liu Bei is not driven away, Liu Bei will be in Xuzhou
The longer he stays in Xuzhou, the greater the threat to Lu Bu. In the end, Lu Bu may be driven away.
The script at that time may be that Lu Bu defected to Cao Cao, and then led Cao Cao to attack Liu Bei. Looking at it this way... wouldn't Xuzhou definitely return to Cao Cao!?
Chu Nan had a toothache thinking about this. Liu Bei's alliance with Lu was actually the best result. But the problem was that Lu Bu didn't trust Liu Bei, and Liu Bei was obviously not someone who wanted to stay under others for a long time. So when Cao Cao asked Liu Bei to fight Yuan Shu, Liu Bei responded to the edict.
From that moment on, Xuzhou's outcome was actually decided. This was a conspiracy. Liu Bei and Chen Gong may have noticed it, but they were unable to resist.
Until this moment, Chu Nan truly understood the wisdom of those ancients. The seemingly simple strategy even seemed a bit feeble when I first read it. Wouldn't it be over if Liu Bei and Lu Bu joined forces?
I think Lu Bu is stupid and Chen Gong is not very smart, but now that I am involved in it, I can truly understand the complexity of it. Lu Bu, Liu Bei, the Xuzhou family, and Cao Cao's seemingly unsophisticated strategies are actually based on human nature.
They may coexist peacefully for a while, but over time, the two sides will definitely be secretly at odds.
Chen Gong obviously thought of this, so maybe even if Zhang Fei hadn't snatched the horse this time, Chen Gong would have looked for an opportunity to drive Liu Bei out of Xuzhou.
Then what?
Cao Cao will not allow a complete force to appear in Xuzhou, he will definitely send troops to attack, and the events in history will repeat themselves before his eyes.
What's even worse is that even if he knew all this, Chu Nan found that he couldn't break this situation at all!
After the army was assembled, following Lu Bu's order, the soldiers of the three armies began to move forward slowly, but the speed continued to accelerate. Chu Nan, who was thinking about how to solve the current situation, gradually realized that something was wrong. The speed was abnormally fast.
Got it!
It's okay for those on horseback, but how can those soldiers on foot run so fast? They can't even get off a galloping horse! Although running at this speed can shorten the time to reach Xiaopei, will they still have the strength to fight when they get to Xiaopei?
?Don’t let Liu Bei see you as weak, take the opportunity to attack, and kill you directly!
Chu Nan retracted his thoughts and looked curiously at the surrounding troops whose formations were not in chaos due to long distance running. This quality can be called elite, right?
And the strange thing is that his riding skills can only be considered average, but at this moment, he has an inexplicable sense of proficiency. He rides the horse and never falls behind!? It seems that he has an extra strength that does not belong to him, but what, Chu Nan can't say
, as if the body is not one's own but has been temporarily controlled by someone.
The merchants had also traveled from Xiapi to Xiaopeichunan before. Strictly speaking, it already belonged to Yuzhou territory. The distance was about 270 miles. It would take three days to ride a horse normally. However, in this strange situation
In such a state, by the evening of that day, the army had already appeared in Xiaopei!
Chu Nan suddenly remembered Lu Bu's talent. The talent in this world is really strange. This marching speed, in real history, can definitely change the outcome of a war.
And more importantly, after running such a long distance, the soldiers did not seem to have much discomfort.
In the past, Chu Nan only knew that his talent was high, but he didn't know how strong someone with extraordinary power was. Now he has a preliminary understanding of it. More than that, even he doesn't feel too tired. You must know that Chu Nan has never experienced it.
No matter what kind of training he had, he would have to rest for a day before he could recover from a trip here, but now he doesn't feel tired at all.
So what is the battle between peak extraordinary beings like?
At this moment, Chu Nan had put aside his worries about the future and began to look forward to the upcoming battle.
On the other side, Lu Bu led his army to attack and approached the city. Liu Bei was shocked when he got the news: "Why did Lu Bu suddenly attack?"
Not long ago, Lu Bu helped him break Yuan Shu's siege. Why did he immediately send his troops to attack him in the blink of an eye?
"Then Lu Bu is cunning and repeated. He has long said that he should not be taken in!" Zhang Fei on the side snorted. He probably knew why Lu Bu came. It was probably because Lu Bu knew about his disguise as a bandit to steal horses, or because he had his own heart.
Shan, let Hou Cheng and Song Xian go. If I had known this, I should have kept these two people!
Guan Yu glanced at Zhang Fei strangely, stood up and said, "Brother, it is useless to talk more. Now that Lu Bu has arrived at the city, there is no way for us to avoid him."
Liu Bei nodded silently and said: "Second brother, third brother, gather your troops and follow me out of the city!"
"Here!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei agreed, followed Liu Bei out, and ordered Xiahou Bo to order all his troops and horses to go out of the city to meet the enemy. When Lu Bu's army arrived, Liu Bei had already prepared a formation below the city.
When Lu Bu's army saw Liu Bei coming out of the city to meet him, Lu Bu slowly raised his arms, and the soldiers of the three armies began to slow down. When the distance between the two sides was about 500 meters, they had stopped completely.
Chu Nan didn't understand the art of war, so he couldn't see anything. He just felt that when he slowly raised his hand, the three armies immediately stopped. Thousands of soldiers seemed to be half of them. It felt very powerful!
He looked into the distance. He couldn't see clearly at such a far distance. He just saw the flags waving on the opposite side and a crowd of people in darkness. He felt a little depressed for no reason. However, being in the army, it seemed that he had lost his courage.
Young Master, I didn’t feel out of breath like when I faced Lu Bujun when I came out of the city gate.
While I was thinking about it, I saw three people from the opposite formation riding out on horseback and coming to a position near the midpoint between the two sides. They cupped their fists and saluted, "Brother, why did you lead the troops here?"
Liu Bei?
Chu Nan hesitated for a moment and stared at the leader.
