Xun You said: "Today, my subordinates went outside Tao Qian's camp and heard that Cao Bao, under Tao Qian's tent, had complained about Liu Bei, so he went up to talk and found out Liu Bei's true intention of going to Tao Qian's camp."
"What's the intention? Could it be that Tao Qian took the initiative to give up the governorship of Xuzhou to Liu Bei?" Gao Fei asked.
Xun You smiled and said, "It's a bit inappropriate to give in. But it's similar to this. Tao Qian invited Liu Bei to Xuzhou to take charge of the army. He was just afraid of Cao Cao. Cao Cao had 50,000 troops in Yanzhou. Tao Qian was worried that Cao Cao would threaten Xuzhou in the future.
, then Liu Bei was summoned..."
"Liu Bei is a mother if she has breasts. If I hadn't recruited him into the army, he wouldn't have even had a chance to participate in the fight against the Yellow Turban rebellion. I really hate myself. I knew Liu Bei was a tyrant, but I was stupid enough to want to recruit him as a soldier.
If I had known, I should have killed him with one blow. It's better now that Liu Bei has fled to Xuzhou, which will definitely be a serious problem." Gao Fei was furious and interrupted Xun You's words.
Jia Xu said: "My lord, my subordinates and Gongda have already discussed it. Liu Bei's trip to Xuzhou will be of great benefit to our army without any harm."
Gao Fei had two great advisers by his side. When he heard what they said, he asked, "How do you say that?"
Xun You said: "My lord, this is not the place to talk. It's better to enter the tent."
Gao Fei nodded and entered the tent together with Jia Xu and Xun You.
As soon as they entered the tent, the three of them sat down, but heard Xun You say: "My lord, Tao Qian invited Liu Bei to take charge of Xuzhou's military affairs, which is undoubtedly an attempt to attract wolves into the house. Tao Qian is old and I'm afraid he won't live much longer. Even if
Liu Bei obtained Xuzhou after Tao Qian's death, which is also a great benefit to our army."
Xun You paused and continued: "Compared with Liu Bei, who is your lord most worried about now?"
"Cao Cao!" Gao Fei replied.
Xun You said: "Cao Cao is now the governor of Yanzhou. If Dong Zhuo is defeated, judging from the current situation, the Allies will definitely have a fight, and the world will be in chaos. Cao Cao will also send his troops eastward to dominate Yanzhou.
After he completely occupied Yanzhou, he would definitely attack Xuzhou and Yuzhou to expand his territory. Compared with Kong Zhi of Yuzhou, Xuzhou was more threatening to Cao Cao. Xuzhou was rich in salt and iron, and most of the people were wealthy, and Xuzhou's territory
Located between Huai and Si, the land is relatively fertile and is an important area for grain production. Xuzhou and Yanzhou are closely adjacent. If Cao Cao gets Yanzhou, why not attack Xuzhou?"
Jia Xu added: "My lord has always been good at observing people. Since my lord has determined that Liu Bei will be a hero, then Liu Bei must have his own unique side. Moreover, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both invincible generals. If Liu Bei is in charge of Xuzhou,
, maybe Cao Cao will not capture Xuzhou so easily. Once Tao Qian goes west, Liu Bei will definitely replace him. At that time, Liu Bei's ambition will inevitably compete with Cao Cao for the hegemony of the Central Plains. The two tigers will compete with each other.
, there must be an injury, no matter who wins or loses, it is a good thing for the Lord."
Xun You hurriedly interjected: "If my lord forcibly leaves Liu Bei in Youzhou, killing him for no reason would be unjust. If you let him go, you will definitely breed tigers. It will be a very difficult problem for your lord to occupy Youzhou."
Now that Liu Bei is gone, Gongsun Zan, Liu Yu and his like don't have anything to worry about at all. They only need to instigate the relationship between the two on the way back to Youzhou and let them compete with each other. The lord will reap the benefits, and then he can dominate without any effort
The whole Youzhou. With Youzhou as the cornerstone and good connections with Xianbei, Fuyu, and Goguryeo, if you develop diligently in Youzhou for a year or two, you can go south to Jizhou. After occupying Jizhou, the lord can go west and merge with the state.
, Dongping Qingzhou, occupying the land of Qingzhou, You, and Jizhou, this half of the world is equivalent to falling into the hands of the lord."
Jia Xu also echoed: "When the lord takes over the land in Hebei, and then works hard on internal affairs and training soldiers, within three years, he will be able to lead a large army to conquer the Central Plains, whether it is Cao Cao, Liu Bei, or others
Everyone must submit to the lord's cavalry. At that time, it will be a matter of time to unify the world."
After Gao Fei listened to Jia Xu and Xun You singing, he burst out laughing as soon as the duet was finished, because his path to the emperor had been planned by these two great advisers. He stood up directly and said to
Jia Xu and Xun You paid their respects and said, "I am really blessed to have these two gentlemen by my side. Then I will follow the strategy of these two gentlemen. After the alliance is formed, I will first secure Youzhou and then pacify Jizhou.
After that, he conquered Bingzhou in the west, Qingzhou in the east, and finally went south to compete for the Central Plains..."
Jia Xu and Xun You both paid homage in unison: "Your lord is a man of great talent and strategy. We are willing to assist you in your quest to become a king. We will never betray you in this life!"
Gao Fei said: "Okay, okay, then Liu Bei will let him go to Xuzhou and let him and Cao Cao compete with each other. Now our top priority is to rush to Hulao as soon as possible. After repelling Dong Zhuo, we can start to implement our great cause of kingship."
.”
When Jia Xu and Xun You heard Gao Fei say "ours", they both felt very much in their hearts. This undoubtedly regarded them as an indispensable link in the great cause of becoming kings. They both bowed happily: "I obey my command."
!”
The next day, more than 50,000 troops and horses stopped at Sishui Pass began to march towards Hulao Pass to join forces with Yuan Shao, Ding Yuan and others of the North Route Army.
At the same time, Liu Biao and Kong Zhi of the Southern Route Army stagnated in Yingchuan County and formed a confrontation with Niu Fu who was defending Xuanyuan Pass. Another army led by Yuan Shu quickly broke through Dong Zhuo's defense after arriving in Nanyang.
Wuguan, but it also stagnated. In order not to leave any excuse for himself in the mouths of other princes, Yuan Shu sent Shanyang Governor Yuan Yi with two thousand soldiers and horses to rush into the Sanfu area, bluffing, and acting as a suspect, before Dong Zhuo
After wandering around the Sanfu territory under his control, he returned to Wuguan.
Thirty miles outside Hulao Pass, there is an endless stream of coalition army camps, stretching for more than ten miles, with flags of various colors fluttering in the wind. The North Route Army and the Middle Route Army successfully joined together, and the coalition forces reached more than 200,000 troops.
The camp is next to a large camp, connecting the originally empty wilderness into one piece. At first glance, it looks like it is overwhelming.
In the main camp in the center of the coalition camp, all the princes gathered together, with Yuan Shaoduan sitting at the head, Liu Yu, Cao Cao, Gao Fei, Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan, Ding Yuan, Zhang Yang, Tao Qian, Wang Kuang, and Zhang Miao
, Zhang Chao, Kong Rong, etc. were all sitting at the bottom, and behind each prince, there was a personal general accompanying him. The big tent was very lively.
"Everyone, since the alliance was formed, our army has defeated Dong Zhuo's two passes, which is really gratifying. Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, used 5,000 light cavalry to repel the 50,000 troops of Zhang Ji and Fan Chou under Dong Zhuo's tent, and also captured the coalition.
The first achievement since the first battle not only gave our coalition forces a prestige, but also put Dong's army in danger. This really killed two birds with one stone. In addition, Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, and Gao Fei, the governor of Liaodong, also defeated many with less and conquered Si.
Shuiguan, forcing Dong Zhuo to defend Hulao Pass is also a great achievement. You all should work harder to conquer Hulao Pass in one go, kill Dong's thieves, and jointly help the Han Dynasty." Yuan Shao couldn't help the smile on his face.
He looked happy and excited, as if his army had won the first prize.
As soon as he finished speaking, a prince on the other side said loudly: "This is all due to the leader's command. If the leader did not come to the Northern Route Army in person, how could the Bingzhou soldiers achieve the first success in the first battle?"
"Fuck your mother-in-law! This battle was fought by people from Bingzhou, and people from Bingzhou died. How come the words that come out of your mouth are all attributed to Yuan Shao?" He stood behind Ding Yuan all the time.
When Lu Bu, who was holding his sword, heard these words, he immediately became furious and cursed loudly.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire tent became very tense. The princes from all walks of life did not say a word. They were all calculating their own plans in their hearts. Their eyes were all focused on Lu Bu, and sometimes they looked at Yuan Shao.
expression.
Yuan Shao's expression was very embarrassing. As the leader of the alliance, it was really humiliating for him to be called by someone's name. Fortunately, he had developed a good habit of courtesy to virtuous corporals in his early years, so he was not angry, but laughed.
He came out and said loudly: "Fengxian, please calm down. This gentleman is not very good at talking. The first victory in this battle is naturally yours in Bingzhou, and you became famous in one battle. I am afraid that Mr. Dong will be frightened in his dreams at night in the future."
When you wake up, you should always be careful with your head."
Lu Bu snorted coldly and said, "I'm just telling the truth. I don't mean anything else. The credit belongs to me and no one can deny it. Everyone in the world knows this."
Behind Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, stood a man in a long robe. The man had a slightly complexion and very sharp edges. His eyes were staring straight at Lu Bu, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and a faint thought in his heart.
Said: "This man is domineering and powerful, and his martial arts are unparalleled in the world. Compared with Zhang Miao, he is hundreds of times better than Zhang Miao. If he can get my assistance, he will become a king."
No."
No one spoke anymore, the atmosphere had begun to become deadlocked. Some people were just waiting to see the joke. They all heard that Lu Bu forced Zhang Ji back with 5,000 light cavalry, and Fan Chou had 50,000 people. They admired him from the bottom of their hearts, but everyone
They are also afraid of him.
Gao Fei sat there, watching the atmosphere of the whole place. He knew Lu Bu very well. His military strength was superior, surpassing all the generals of the Three Kingdoms. It can be said that in his era, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, etc.
Xu Chu, Ma Chao, Gan Ning, Tai Shi Ci and others all had to stand aside and were regarded as the gods of war of that era. At the same time, he also knew that Lu Bu was a capricious villain, so he did not dare to win over him in case he could not control it.
He is the one who dies.
After a long time, Yuan Shao finally spoke: "I called everyone here today to discuss how to break through Hulao Pass. Thieves Dong have already stationed 130,000 Xiliang soldiers at Hulao Pass. Hulao Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We
Although the army has a large number, there will definitely be a lot of casualties if we attack by force. I wonder what your opinions are?"
