Wang Kai and Xu Si came here as envoys of the Yanzhou Army. The soldiers guarding the camp of the Xuzhou Army did not have too much trouble. After checking, they let a group of people enter the army. None were confiscated.

In the Xuzhou Army, if these soldiers dare to make waves, they will be wiped out directly by the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army.

And Wang Kai and Xu Si also felt what is meant by elite soldiers in the Xuzhou Army. Compared with the aura of the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army at this time, the Yanzhou Army is weak.

Confronting the Yanzhou army, the Xuzhou army still maintained its daily training, but the sound of shouting and killing came out during the training, which made the accompanying soldiers look a little unnatural.

Wang Kai and Xu Si are civil servants, they are afraid in their hearts, they are still talking and laughing on the surface, if people don't know the truth, they will think that they are from the Xuzhou army.

"Marquis Wen has an order that Wang Kai and Xu Si who are in Yanzhou can enter, and the rest are waiting outside the tent, and are not allowed to approach the Chinese army by fifty steps. Violators will bear the consequences." Gao Shun said solemnly.

"General Lao Gao is here." Wang Kai cupped his hands and said.

Gao Shun is a celebrity in the Xuzhou Army, and his commander's fall into the camp has shocked the Yanzhou Army. Being in the Xuzhou Army, it is natural to show a certain attitude towards Gao Shun.

Xu Si also nodded slightly, as if he had seen Gao Shun.

The soldiers who followed the two men were all elites in the Yanzhou army, and they dared not speak out when they heard the order delivered by Gao Shun.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, important generals in the army gathered.

After Wang Kai and Xu Si entered the tent, they felt a strong killing intent.

"Wang Kai worked in Lower Yanzhou and met Marquis Wen." Wang Kai stepped forward and saluted.

"I met Marquis Wen." Xu Si agreed.

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Liu Dai sent you two here, why?"

"Soldiers are the great affairs of the country..."

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "Just tell me what you're here for. I'm a military commander, so I don't understand these trivial things you said."

The generals in the tent burst into bursts of laughter. Lu Bu's arrogant and rude attitude made them feel comfortable. In the past, when facing civilian officials, military generals had a feeling of being inferior to others, but under Lu Bu's command, they did not. Yes, because Lu Bu is also a general.

Chapter 99 Pull this man out and behead it to the public

Xu Si's face turned red, his fingers trembled slightly, and his heart was obviously angry.

Seeing this, Wang Kai hurried forward and said: "Zhou Mu wants to make peace with Marquis Wen, and the stalemate between the two armies will not benefit both sides."

Lu Bu sneered and said, "Not necessarily. The Marquis has more than ten thousand elite soldiers, sufficient food and grass, and high morale. Defeating the Yanzhou army is like searching for something. How dare old Liu Dai fight against the soldiers under the Marquis?"

The generals in the army talked a lot, and they looked at Xu Si and Wang Kai with pity. They were unlucky to meet Xuzhou Mu like Lu Bu.

He couldn't beat him again and again, and Lu Bu wouldn't listen to reason.

Seeing that Wang Kai and Xu Si were silent, Jia Xu stepped forward and said: "Xuzhou's army came from a long way. During the battle, many soldiers were buried in the battlefield, and a lot of money and food were consumed."

"You are too rude, don't you think there are no soldiers in the Yanzhou Army?" Xu Si couldn't help it.

Lv Bu snorted coldly, "This Marquis always only cares about killing and doesn't care about the funeral. Those who died were soldiers of the Yanzhou Army, so what has this Marquis to do with him?"

"Lu Bu, you are Xuzhou Mu, but you are so rude. If you spread the word, you are not afraid of being laughed at by the world. Yanzhou Mu sent his subordinates here, full of sincerity, but you have a lot of sarcasm. You really think that the Yanzhou army is easy to bully. No?" Xu Si broke out.

Lu Bu shot up the case, and the tent fell into silence, and a needle could be heard.

"Come here, take this person out and behead him to show the public, how dare you roar in the middle of the army, how decent is it?" Lu Bu slapped the table and shouted.

After receiving the order, the two soldiers guarding outside the tent rushed in without hesitation, supporting Xu Si from left to right.

Xu Si's complexion changed drastically, and he continued to yell. He is a proud son of a noble family, and Lu Bu is a tyrannical warrior. When facing Lu Bu, he has a sense of superiority. He does not believe that Lu Bu dares to kill him.

If the two armies were at war, if Lu Bu did this without beheading the envoy, wouldn't it be a joke.

Wang Kai was about to step forward to intercede, but after meeting Lu Bu's eyes, he closed his mouth wisely. In the Xuzhou army, Lu Bu is the sky, and a word can determine life and death.

No general in the tent stepped forward to intercede for Xu Si, and the arrogant Xu Si made the generals in the army extremely dissatisfied. He was just an envoy sent by Liu Dai, and dared to scold Lu Bu in public. This is a humiliation to the commander of the Xuzhou army .

The two soldiers dragged Xu Si out of the tent without the slightest pause.

Xu Si suddenly panicked. He showed such arrogance just to make Lu Bu pay attention. Looking at the posture in front of him, he clearly wanted to kill him.

"Wang Zong, save me." Xu Si shouted.

Wang Kai was secretly contemptuous, but he didn't move at all. He was so bold and unrestrained in Xuzhou's army, but now that he was facing a catastrophe, he regretted it. Could it be that he could stop Lu Bu by stepping forward? The next negotiation may be smoother.

As for the impact on Lu Bu's reputation after Xu Si's beheading for Lu Bu, does Lu Bu still care about these.

The names of the house slaves of the three surnames are still on Lu Bu's head, and Lu Bu still lives very chicly.

Xu Si was frightened and kept struggling, but the two soldiers were one on the left and one on the right, how could Xu Si be able to break free.

The generals on both sides burst into laughter. If Xu Si had always been arrogant, he would still be respected by them.

A moment later, a head was sent to the Chinese army tent.

Wang Kai's complexion changed slightly, and he looked at Lu Bu with a more different gaze. This is the person who dared to kill the envoy directly.

"Wen He is in charge of the discussion, and it is enough to inform the Marquis of the result." After speaking, Lu Bu left the Chinese army.

Xu Si's disclosure was locked at the gate of the camp, which was discussed by the soldiers in the army. When they learned that Xu Si was killed in the army because he contradicted Lu Bu, they scolded Xu Si a lot.

Jia Xu remained calm about all of this, Lu Bu should behave barbarously, as Lu Bu is a general, so what if people in the world think him vulgar.

In fact, Jia Xu also knew that Lu Bu was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. After taking control of Xuzhou, being able to get the support of the Mi family and the Chen family is enough to explain a lot of things.

The monarch does not necessarily have to show tenderness, sometimes being tougher will attract more people's attention.

Xu Si was killed, Wang Kai's mind was tense, he secretly rejoiced that it was Jia Xu who was negotiating with him, if he disagreed with Lv Bu, and Lv Bu directly ordered someone to push him out and behead him, it would be truly justified. Do you still expect Liu Dai to seek justice for the envoy who died in the Xuzhou army at this time?

This also made Wang Kai realize what kind of power a tyrannical monarch has. In this battle, the Yanzhou army is weak. Even if they bring Yanzhou's envoys to the Xuzhou army, they will not receive corresponding attention and offend Lu Bu. After that, he was directly beheaded without the slightest hesitation. This is power.

In the Yanzhou army, Wang Kai knew the name of Jia Xu, the military adviser of the Xuzhou army, and a captain who had not had much reputation under Dong Zhuo's tent before.

Lv Bu's ability to hand over the peace talks with the Yanzhou Army to Jia Xu is enough to prove Jia Xu's position in Lv Bu's heart.

Wang Kai cupped his hands and said, "Military division."

Jia Xu showed a kind smile and gestured: "Wang does not need to be so rigid in his career, just do whatever you want."

Even if Wang Kai wanted to do whatever he wanted, he couldn't do what he wanted when things like this happened in the Chinese military tent before, so he pretended to be relaxed.

After the two chatted for a while, Jia Xu said: "Wen Hou's character is like this, Wang Zong should not take it to heart, actually Wen Hou does not want to fight with the Yanzhou army, but for the stability of Xuzhou, Wen Hou has to do so.

"Before, Zhou Mu listened to other people's words, that's why he sent troops to attack Xuzhou, but the Yanzhou army never entered Xuzhou territory." Wang Kai said, this is also the most depressing place for Yanzhou officials.

Before the expedition, the Yanzhou army played the banner of suppressing the Xuzhou rebellion, but the Xuzhou army was very active in this battle, directly confronting the Yanzhou army, and defeated the Yanzhou army.

Jia Xu said: "The king is engaged in such a statement, and this official cannot agree."

"Zhou Mu is sincere about the peace talks between the two sides." Wang Kai said, he didn't want to continue to entangle Jia Xu on such a topic, anyway, this time it was the Yanzhou Army who took the initiative and suffered a moral disadvantage.

"I don't know what price Liu Zhoumu is willing to pay to make Xuzhou retreat." Jia Xu asked with a smile.

Talking with Jia Xu, Wang Kai felt a lot of pressure, as if Jia Xu's eyes could penetrate his heart.

"If the Xuzhou Army returns to Lu State, Yanzhou is willing to pay the Xuzhou Army's consumption of food, grass and supplies for this operation." Wang Kai said.

Jia Xu said calmly, "If that's the case, please come back, Wang Zong."

Chapter 100 I'm Waiting For All Ignoring Lu Bu

"Why is the military division like this? The State of Lu originally belonged to Yanzhou." Wang Kai questioned.

Jia Xu said with a smile, "In the past, the State of Lu belonged to Yanzhou, but now that the officials of the State of Lu have taken refuge in Marquis Wen, they naturally belong to Marquis Wen."

Wang Kai felt bitter in his heart, and when he came to the Xuzhou army, he never thought that he would be able to get the Lu Kingdom back from Lu Bu's hands.

The discussion was smooth and rainy, and there was no shouting and killing. In two hours, Jia Xu and Wang Kai completed the negotiation of Xuzhou Army's withdrawal.

"Wang Zong, if you have time in the future, you can go to Xuzhou, and I will be in charge of entertaining you." Jia Xu invited with a smile.

Wang Kai cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Military Advisor, for your kindness."

After leaving Jia Xu's camp, Wang Kai felt bitter. The negotiation with Jia Xu this time not only touched the bottom line given by Liu Dai, but also added a lot of conditions. Liu Dai will definitely be furious when he finds out.

Who made the Xuzhou Army strong? In the face of such a powerful military force, Liu Dai must be cautious even if he has various reluctances.

The cavalry led by Cao Xing is active in Yanzhou, which will bring a lot of shock to Yanzhou. In the long run, the route of Yanzhou army's transportation of grain and grass will be completely exposed to the Xuzhou cavalry.

"Marquis Wen, I have already negotiated with the Yanzhou envoy." Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "Yanzhou Shepherd Liu Dai is willing to give up Lu State and Taishan County, and give our army [-] shi of rice and [-] sets of weapons."

Lu Bu nodded, and it was within his expectation that Liu Dai agreed to this condition. Although the State of Lu is close to Changyi, its territory is small.

"Marquis Wen, there are a lot of bandits and bandits in Taishan County. When Qingzhou Yellow Turbans entered Yanzhou, most of them passed through Taishan County." Jia Xu said.

Lu Bu said: "It doesn't matter, after I will occupy Taishan County, don't these yellow scarves still dare to run rampant?"

"At that time, Marquis Wen can use the banner of suppressing the rebellion to destroy the Yellow Turbans." Jia Xu said.

Wang Kai and Jia Xu returned to the Yanzhou Army immediately after the discussion. This discussion was related to the future situation of the Yanzhou Army.

As expected by Wang Kai, when Wang Kai told the agreed conditions, Liu Dai was furious, and even ignored the matter of Xu Si's death in the army for the time being.

"State shepherd, the situation is worse than others." Bao Xin persuaded.

Liu Dai gritted his teeth and said, "After I stabilize the situation in Yanzhou, I will definitely not let Lu Bu and other traitors go."

"Zhou Mu, in fact, Taishan County fell into Lu Bu's hands. It might be a good thing for Yanzhou." Wang Kai said.

Seeing Liu Dai's questioning gaze, Wang Kai talked eloquently, "The Taishan army has a vast territory, most of which are mountainous areas, and the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou entered Yanzhou, and many passed through Taishan County. Lu Bu sent troops to station in Taishan County. Conflict with the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, with the help of the Yellow Turbans, the state shepherd can stop the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans."

Liu Dai's heart moved. The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were rampant and repeatedly invaded the prefectures and counties. Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou had the presence of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. These Yellow Turbans were like locusts passing through the border. Wherever they passed, the people were in dire straits, but these Yellow Turbans still had strong fighting power , is not to be underestimated.

Hearing this, Cao Cao shook his head secretly. No matter what, Taishan County and Lu State are the governing lands of Yanzhou, so handing them over to Lu Bu will definitely reduce Liu Dai's prestige in Yanzhou.

However, the current situation also showed Cao Cao that he could not continue to confront the Xuzhou army, otherwise Yanzhou would suffer more damage.

"In that case, I can only agree to Lu Bu." Liu Dai sighed.

Fighting against the Xuzhou army not only did not gain any benefits, he lost troops and lost generals, and ceded Lu State and Taishan County. Liu Dai also looked much older.

The generals in the tent fell into silence for a while, just as the so-called master humiliated his ministers to death, they were secretly awake in peace talks with the Xuzhou army, but all this was paid for by the monarch's humiliation.

After this battle, when the generals of the Yanzhou Army saw others in the future, they would feel like a dwarf.

"Order the officials and soldiers of Taishan County and Lu State to evacuate after the Xuzhou officials arrive." Liu Dai ordered.

"Here." Wang Kai cupped his hands and said.

Liu Dai's order was still considered from the perspective of the stability of Lu State and Taishan County.

The rebellion of the Captain of the State of Lu and the killing of the Prime Minister of the State of Lu, even if there are officials in the State of Lu to support Liu Dai, it is difficult to form too much influence. It can be said that the State of Lu falls into the hands of Lu Bu, which can be said to be a certainty.

"We all ignored Lu Bu." Liu Dai sighed.

Everyone in the tent felt something.

Liu Dai occupies the righteousness and has the support of the leader Yuan Shao. It is a sure thing to fight against the Xuzhou army, but the development of the situation has reached such a point.

The Yanzhou army was defeated, and even had to cede the city to appease the anger of the Xuzhou army.

These cities are all the cities of the great man, and now they have become the spoils of the princes and the tools used to quell the war. Isn't it the sorrow of the great man?

The Han Dynasty, which lasted for hundreds of years, was on the verge of collapse after continuous changes, and the influence of the court was no longer what it used to be.

After reaching peace talks with the Yanzhou Army, Lu Bu immediately led the cavalry back to Pengcheng, leaving the affairs of the army to Zhang Liao and Jia Xu. He believed that Liu Dai would not easily offend the Xuzhou Army at this time.

Cao Xing, who was active in Sanyang County, also returned to the army.

Lu Bu led the cavalry back to Pengcheng, and Mi Zhu led the officials out of the city to meet him.

Regardless of whether these officials came from the heart or not, they came out to greet Lu Bu, showing their attitude. At this time, no official would dare to offend Lu Bu.

Successive victories have made Lu Bu's prestige all over Xuzhou.

The reason why he returned to Pengcheng so eagerly was also because the situation in Xuzhou was unstable. When the Xuzhou Army was fighting against the Yanzhou Army and the Qingzhou Army, although Chen Gui, the Minister of Pei, and Chen Xin, the Captain of the State of Lu, had taken refuge in Xuzhou, there was the prefect of Guangling in Xuzhou. The rebellion of Zhang Chao and Qin Si, chancellor of Xiapi State.

Compared with the defection of Lu State and Pei State, the betrayal of Xiapi State and Guangling County had a greater impact.

Guangling and Xiapi are important prefectures and counties in Xuzhou, and they are also an important source of tax revenue for Xuzhou. At present, the Prime Minister of Xiapi has fled, and Mi Fang is temporarily in charge of the affairs of Xiapi. Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, is still stubbornly resisting. There is a tendency to occupy Guangling and stand on its own.

Zhang Chao's actions were intolerable to Lu Bu. Xuzhou must be stabilized. Xuzhou will become an important foundation for him to conquer the princes in the future.

The land of the Four Wars, in the hands of different people, will have different results. Lu Bu believes that in the early days of the chaos of the princes, he can do more by relying on Xuzhou. Xuzhou plus Pei Guo, Lu Guo, and Taishan County, The number of cities under his rule increased sharply.
