Chapter 148 Lu Bu escapes, Yuan Shao joins forces with Zan
The marshal didn't take Liu Bei's fart words seriously, but looked behind Liu Bei.
"I remember you also have two sworn brothers."
For Yuan Shao, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are obviously more important to him.
Liu Bei's eyes flickered, obviously knowing what Yuan Shao meant, and he said with a hint of helplessness: "My second and third brothers are separated because of Cao's army's pursuit. I'm afraid it will take some time to return."
Yuan Shao smiled and nodded.
"Come here, take General Liu down and have a good rest."
With just a few words, he already knew that Liu Bei was of no use to him. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not around, so what was the use of Liu Bei?
Liu Bei's biggest role now is to entertain him well, and then wait for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to come and join him.
Liu Bei naturally knew Yuan Shao's thoughts, but now Liu Bei had no choice at all. It was enough that Yuan Shao was willing to receive him.
In Xiapi County, Xuzhou, Dian Wei led an army of 50,000 people, and Zhao Feng accompanied him to supervise the battle.
"Haha, military advisor, let me lead the army to attack the city when the time comes!"
"I want to see how much stronger Lu Bu's kid is compared to me!"
Dian Wei burst out laughing.
Obviously, after the battle in Xuzhou, he suddenly gained a lot of confidence.
Zhao Feng smiled calmly: "Don't worry, we may not be able to start a war by then."
This time when troops are mobilized, Lu Bu should not be ignorant of what is good and what is bad.
Dian Wei scratched his head and said, "Military advisor, why is this?"
Zhao Feng smiled and said: "Because he is afraid of us, he will probably run away when the time comes."
For Dian Wei, Zhao Feng did not need to analyze the pros and cons with him, he only needed to repeat it in the simplest words.
Sure enough, Dian Wei showed a look of sudden enlightenment and laughed: "Haha, I thought that Lu Bu was so famous and a fierce general, but I didn't expect that he was a coward!"
Zhao Feng smiled and shook his head. Although Dian Wei understood it this way, it didn't seem to be a big problem. According to the current speed, it only takes half an hour to reach Peixian County.
Now that 50,000 troops were heading towards Pei County with such great fanfare, Lu Bu had already noticed it.
When he attacked Tan County before, Lu Bu didn't take any action and was obviously just watching carefully.
Now that Liu Bei was under Cao Jun's massive attack, he couldn't even hold out for two hours. Lu Bu probably didn't know about this. It just depends on Chen Gong's choice.
Among Pei County.
"What!"
"Then Cao Jun will be able to reach Xiaopei in half an hour at most?"
There was a trace of panic in Lu Bu's eyes. Although he was not afraid of anyone when fighting alone, he was unable to defeat four people with his fists.
How can Cao Cao resist the 50,000 elite soldiers? The more than 40,000 people in his hands are no match for him.
They attacked the informant in two hours. They, Xiaopei, might as well give up to Tan County.
Chen Gong on the side shook his head and said: "Now that I am helping Cao Cao, we have to get out of the way. With 50,000 elites, how can we continue to fight?"
He was a little helpless. He originally thought that he could easily capture the land of Xuzhou, but who knew that Yuan Shao went to attack Gongsun Zan, and the two of them were inseparable.
Cao Cao was even ignored. Now his sword is pointed at Xuzhou, and no one can defeat him.
"Gongtai, what do you think?"
Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong with hesitant eyes.
Now he is not like Liu Bei back then, he doesn't want to give up this city.
Chen Gong took a breath and said, "Give up. We can still maintain some strength with our withdrawal now."
Although this situation had been expected for a long time, Chen Gong was still a little reluctant to hear it from his mouth.
"Then where should we withdraw our troops?"
Lu Bu couldn't help but ask, this was what he was most worried about.
However, when faced with this problem, Chen Gong showed a trace of calmness and said: "My lord, don't panic, I have already contacted Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi County."
Chen Gong was by no means a person hanging from a tree. He had chosen his retreat long ago.
Hearing this, Lu Bu breathed out again and said: "In that case, let's withdraw our troops."
Tens of thousands of people evacuated Xiaopei in a mighty manner.
Now that Cao Cao has occupied the four states, Lu Bu, a great general, had to withdraw his troops in the face of such a battle.
An hour later, Cao Jun, who arrived belatedly, saw a small Pei village without any defenders.
Lu Bu's forces completely withdrew from Xuzhou, and they had to avoid his attack.
At this point, the entire Xuzhou fell into Cao Cao's hands.
Cao Cao, who occupied the four states, did not give up on handling internal affairs at all. Although Cao Cao was not short of food now, the farming system was still promoted in Xuzhou.
The people who wanted to migrate due to the war were greatly preserved. In addition, with the assistance of Zhao Feng, Cao Cao was already in the popular support of the people and had a very high reputation among the people.
It has benefited countless people and refugees. At the same time, because of Zhang Ning's existence, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans from all over the country have entered the prefectures and counties under Cao Cao's command.
Now, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou have all fallen into Cao Cao's hands, and his men have strong soldiers and horses, and everything is rich.
After occupying Xuzhou, Cao Cao has completely become the first prince among the Han Dynasty. How can these surrounding princes not know?
And a big war is coming!
In Ji County, Youzhou.
"Lord, Yuan Shao sent his envoy Guo Tu here!"
The voice of a soldier passing the news came in.
Gongsun Zan frowned slightly and said calmly: "Let him come in."
After a while, Guo Tu's figure slowly walked in.
"Young master has met your lord."
Looking at the visitor, Gongsun Zan gave him an indifferent look and snorted coldly.
Seeing Gongsun Zan's indifferent expression, Guo Tu showed a smile and said: "General Gongsun, this is not the time for us to talk about our grudges. Why don't you listen to me?"
At this time, Gongsun Zan looked over and said calmly: "Haha, don't you just see that Cao Cao is getting stronger now, and want to join forces with me to attack Cao Cao together?"
Seeing Gongsun Zan say this without mercy, Guo Tu still kept smiling and was not angry at all.
"Since General Gongsun knows my purpose of coming, I won't waste too much time."
"I think General Gongsun should know the truth about the coldness of lips and teeth, right?"
Gongsun Zan looked at Guo Tu silently, but these words alone could not move him at all.
The atmosphere solidified again. Guo Tu looked at Gongsun Zan and continued: "If the general still misses the favor you gave Zhao Yun to Cao Cao, I think it is unnecessary."
"What kind of person is Cao Cao? He coerced the emperor and ordered the princes to take over Qingzhou and Xuzhou. Do you think that when my lord is gone, he will resist attacking you in Youzhou?"
Gongsun Zan said calmly: "Haha, do you think your lord is also a good person?"
Obviously, he still remembered Yuan Shao's initiative to attack Youzhou!
"I can take the opportunity to capture a state while you are being attacked by Cao Cao!"
Guo Tu's face froze, but only for a moment he smiled again.
"My lord, after all, is also the fourth generation and the third prince. When he attacked Youzhou, he declared war, but Cao Cao is different."
"General, think about it, if Cao Cao's army of 200,000 men in armor comes to Youzhou the next day, are you sure you can hold it?"
