The Lu family at the end of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 95
"Xiahoudun and Yu Jinle came in to write."

Xuchang, in the prime minister's mansion, Cao Cao raised the letter in Yang's hand to his staff and said with a dark face.

"But Xiahou Dun was defeated by Lu Bu?"

Seeing Cao Cao's face is not good-looking, Xun Yu guessed it.

"Xiahou Dun himself lost 2 people, killed Zang Ba's 1 people, and won [-] shi of grain."

Cao Cao replied blankly.

I don't know whether I am happy or sad.

"Xuchang has been through war for a long time, and there is not much food and grass. It is not a good thing to have more troops."

Guo Jia comforted.

He knew that Cao Cao really felt sorry for his [-] veterans who were capable of fighting.

"Right!"

Cao Cao thought about it, he really couldn't afford to support so many soldiers now.

[-] soldiers exchanged for [-] shi of grain, and it seems that they did not suffer much.

"It's just that the current Lv Bu has wiped out Yuan Shu without bloodshed. I'm afraid that if he is left at ease for a long time, it will become a serious disaster!"

Cao Cao's face was full of worry. Cao Cao has always been very afraid of Lu Bu!

Xiahou Dun's letter also said that Lu Bu moved millions of people from Runan to Lujiang County, which made Cao Cao feel uneasy.

"The prime minister wants to attack Lu Bu?"

Xun Yu asked in a low voice.

"That's right. It is said that Lu Bu is currently farming a large area of ​​land in Lujiang County and Jiujiang County. If I don't deal with him, I'm worried that this tiger will become more and more fierce!"

"Prime Minister, why is this so? Lu Bu is a tiger, and Sun Ce is also a tiger. How can the two tigers live in peace, willing to occupy only half of Yangzhou?"

Xun Yu smiled.

"Wen Ruo is really a great talent, I will present to His Majesty and canonize Sun Ce as Yangzhou Shepherd!"

A light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes.

Originally, Sun Ce had the opportunity to occupy the entire Yangzhou.

However, Lu Bu, who fled to Yangzhou, occupied the two counties.

How could Sun Ce be reconciled to the fat in his mouth?
If he was canonized as Yangzhou Shepherd, Sun Ce would definitely attack Lu Bu and rule Yangzhou!
No matter who wins in the end, the result must be one death and one injury.

At that time, if you make another move yourself, you will be able to easily kill the victorious guy.

Occupying Yangzhou is easy!
"No, Prime Minister, you should confer Lu Bu as Yangzhou Shepherd!"

Who knows, as soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Guo Jia stood up and objected.

But Xun Yu, who was about to speak, saw Guo Jia speak, smiled slightly, and kept silent.

"Feng Xiao, why? Sun Ce occupies the land of the four counties in Yangzhou. I'm afraid he is stronger than Lu Bu?"

Cao Cao asked puzzledly, wondering what Guo Jia was thinking.

"Prime Minister, if the Prime Minister canonize Sun Ce as Yangzhou Shepherd, Lu Bu will definitely be angered. Maybe Lu Bu will not attack Sun Ce, but the Prime Minister. If Yuan Shao also takes the opportunity to attack the Prime Minister, wouldn't the Prime Minister be in danger?"

Guo Jia's words made Cao Cao feel terrified, and even his face changed!

Seeing that Cao Cao was starting to panic, Guo Jia smiled smugly and continued.

"On the other hand, if Lv Bu was conferred the title of Yangzhou Shepherd, Lv Bu would definitely thank the prime minister and would not trouble the prime minister. Even if Yuan Shao asked Lv Bu to unite with him to deal with the prime minister, Lv Bu might not agree, and although Sun Ce would hate the prime minister, if he wanted to If you want to trouble the Prime Minister, you must either eliminate Lu Bu, or attack Xuzhou from Wujun, if Sun Ce really does this, then he is killing himself!"

Guo Jia's explanation made Cao Cao feel relieved immediately.

Yes, canonizing Lu Bu as Yangzhou Shepherd will benefit me a lot!
And Sun Ce, that reckless man, has nothing to do with himself.

If he dared to attack Xuzhou, Lu Bu would take the opportunity to seize Sun Ce's Yuzhang, Danyang and Kuaiji counties.

In the end, Sun Ce was surrounded by two overlords, and it was difficult not to die!
"Also, Prime Minister, I heard that Luoyang seems to have been captured, Prime Minister should take it seriously!"

At this time, Cheng Yu also said something coldly.

"Oh? That's it, then I will confer Lu Bu as Yangzhou Shepherd, and let Xiahou Dun and Yu Jinle enter the three of them to clean up Zhang Yang!"

For Cheng Yu's proposal, Cao Cao still paid a little attention to it.

No way, who made the location of Zhang Yang's territory so important?
But now Cao Cao suddenly remembered, didn't one of Zhang Yang's subordinates say that he wanted to betray Zhang Yang and take refuge in him?Why haven't you come here with Zhang Yang's head?
However, it's okay, it should be no problem to ask Xiahou Dun and the three of them to go.

The combination of inside and outside is more than enough to eliminate publicity!
"My lord is wise!"

Cao Cao's staff started to be polite again, which made Cao Cao feel very comfortable!
………………

In the past few days, Lu Yi also learned about the battle between Xu Huang and Sun Ce.

The battle between Xu Huang, Ji Ling, Li Dian and Xu Sheng and Sun Ce was also divided into a section.

The four of Xu Huang and the others occupied Moling, and the three strong cities of Wuhu and Liyang, and they also occupied the small part of Danyang County north of the Yangtze River.

Staying away from the river did not allow Sun Ce to take advantage of it.

This surprised Lu Yi, and ordered them not to continue to attack Danyang County, but only to defend.

Lu Yi himself also moved from Shouchun to Hefei.

Hefei is a strong city. It was the first line of Wei State's defense against Wu State during the Three Kingdoms period, and it was also the place where Zhang Liao shocked Xiaoyaojin.

Sun Quan attacked Hefei seven times and failed seven times!
It can be seen that the city of Hefei is powerful.

However, it is not as hard as Hefei in history, after all, it has not been reinforced.

Moreover, Chaohu Lake is next to Hefei, but it is a place to store grain, so there is no room for loss!

Gan Ning also trained his navy on Chaohu Lake.

This is much more convenient.

The only fly in the ointment is that the two guys Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu haven't come yet, making Lu Yi wait until the flowers are gone!

He was wondering if Huang Yueying didn't have enough face to invite them two masters!

Huang Yueying and Pang Tong also came to Hefei. Huang Yueying presided over the construction of the catapult field, while Pang Tong was sent by Lu Yi to be a supervisor to supervise the reinforcement of the city defense.

Lu Yi still felt that he could not be too polite to Pang Tong, otherwise he would be spoiled and he would have no chance.

Therefore, no matter how Pang Tong objected or protested, Lu Yi turned a blind eye.

It was when Pang Tong got impatient with the quarrel, he shook the Junzi sword in his hand.

Pang Tong immediately became honest.

These scholars are really low-minded people, they don't eat toasts and eat fine wines!
Zang Ba also took his defeated soldiers to Ping'a to garrison, Liao Hua went to Xiacai to garrison, Wei Yue went to Yicheng, and Cheng Lian went to Zhongli.

Completely cede Runan and defend Jiujiang County in an all-round way.

Lu Bu continued to sit in Shouchun, so that whenever a place was about to be captured, Lu Bu and Gao Shun could go to the rescue.

In this way, Lu Bu was isolated from colliding with the scheming Cao Cao, lest Lu Bu fall into the trap and lead to a passive battle.

What's more, the few of them reinforced the city walls by two or three feet, which greatly increased the defensive power of the cities.
