The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

Chapter 182

But victory can give their confidence the greatest encouragement and gradually boost their low morale.

Amidst the cheers, some soldiers of the Yanzhou Army shouted in unison, and the fear in their hearts dissipated a lot with the shouting.

Lu Bu nodded slightly and said, "Zhong Kang is a fierce general."

After hearing these words, the generals who followed Lu Bu to the top of the city put Xu Chu in a relatively high position. As a peerless general, Lu Bu rarely praised other generals. Xu Chu was proud enough to receive such a compliment from Lu Bu.

After seeing the reaction of the Yangzhou Army, Ji Ling was disappointed. If the Yangzhou Army rushed forward, he might still have a chance to return to the army. Now, such an opportunity is completely lost. Being a prisoner is huge for a general. shame.

"Follow this Marquis to meet Yuan Shu's number one general." Lu Bu laughed.

Not only the generals in the army, but also the important officials of Yanzhou accompanied Lu Bu. Lu Bu wanted to let the officials of Yanzhou see the invincible side of the Xuzhou army, so that they would not dare to disagree.

To stabilize Yanzhou, it is not enough to rely on Huairou's means, but also to let them see the horror of the Xuzhou army, so that they dare not give birth to a rebellious heart.

Without a good reputation as a basis, Lu Bu can only rely on powerful force to conquer more cities.

The disheartened Ji Ling was brought to the State Shepherd's Mansion, his expression was full of arrogance, he was a fierce general under Yuan Shu's tent, and Yuan Shu was a well-known prince, Yuan Shu's strength was far from what the current Lu Bu could compare to, Ji Ling believed that Lu Bu dared not kill him.

Even if it is death, it is nothing to Ji Ling. Yuan Shu has shown him the kindness of knowing him, and dying on the battlefield is also a repayment for Yuan Shu's kindness.

"Ji Ling, Marquis Wen, why don't you hurry up and salute." Xu Chu shouted.

Defeating Ji Ling gave Xu Chu more confidence when he spoke. Capture alive, beheaded, and defeated are completely different, and capture alive is the most difficult.

"Someone is a general under General Yuan's account, how could he salute Marquis Wen?" Ji Ling snorted coldly.

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Zhongkang is a general under my command, and you are a general under Yuan Shu, but you were captured alive for our army's Sima. From this point of view, the so-called fierce generals in Yuan Shu's army are not worth mentioning. "

The generals in the tent also burst out laughing when they heard the words, belittling the opponent is definitely a refreshing thing.

How arrogant Han Yin was in Changyi before, didn't he return to Dingtao in despair, Ji Ling led an army of [-] vanguards to come aggressively, and captured the generals of the Xuzhou army alive, even a military commander.

Ji Ling's face turned red, "The skills are not as good as others. If you want to kill or cut, you will do as you please. If you want to humiliate this general, I will swear to the death."

"I heard that General Ji Ling is the most powerful general under Yuan Shu's tent. How can I kill the general of my ally when I form an alliance with Yuan Shu?" Lu Bu said.

Hearing this, Ji Ling showed doubts. The Xuzhou army defeated Lei Bo's troops in Pengcheng. Now, from Lu Bu's tone, he still agrees with the alliance between the two sides, which is a bit elusive.

"Take General Ji Ling down, don't be negligent. After General Yuan arrives, the Marquis will personally send General Ji back." Lu Bu said.

Not only Ji Ling, but the generals in the Xuzhou army are also a little unclear. Therefore, Yuan Shu sent General Ji Ling to lead the army, and his intention to attack Changyi was clearly revealed. Yuan Shu himself led an army of [-] to Changyi. The battle between the two sides was imminent. .

Among the officials in the arena, there are many wise people. Through Lu Bu's actions, they saw a deeper meaning.

There are tens of thousands of people under Yuan Shu's command. If they attack Changyi, it will bring shock to Yanzhou. When the two sides fight, it is inevitable that some soldiers will die in battle. It is most appropriate to continue to maintain a joint relationship with Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu is currently in a fit of anger, and has suffered losses in Lu Bu's hands one after another, making Yuan Shu want to fight against the Xuzhou Army, but the strength displayed by the Xuzhou Army is enough to deter Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu cannot allow him to think more.

"Gongtai, I will leave the matter of Ji Ling to you," Lu Bu said.

In Yanzhou, the strength of Yanzhou officials is still relatively important, and reusing the original officials of Yanzhou can make other officials of Yanzhou more at ease.

Chen Gong cupped his hands and said: "The humble post takes orders."

That day, Chen Gong went to Ji Ling's tent and had a long talk with Ji Ling.

Ji Ling was a general under Yuan Shu's command, so he would definitely be able to speak up in front of Yuan Shu.

After listening to Chen Gong's words, Ji Ling gritted his teeth and said, "Son Han Yin, after returning to Dingtao, he dared to provoke the relationship between Marquis Wen and the lord, this thief deserves to be killed!"

"The actions of the Xuzhou army in Pengcheng were also a helpless move. Lei Bo led the army to approach Pengcheng and threatened to break through Pengcheng. If the Xuzhou army does not move out, it will cause turmoil in Xuzhou." Chen Gong explained.

Ji Ling nodded, and after some explanation from Chen Gong, Ji Ling saw that Lu Bu would still maintain the previous relationship with Yuan Shu.

As long as there is hope of living, no one wants to die. Ji Ling has a great reputation in Yuan Shujun, and there may be many people staring at his position. It is of great benefit to Ji Ling to continue to maintain such a relationship. , from Lu Bu, Ji Lingling felt invincible.

If the two sides are allies, some things will be much easier to talk about.

Yuan Shu's army invaded Changyi, and the vanguard general Xu Chu, a fierce general under Lu Bu's command, was captured alive. After the news spread in the city, Yanzhou officials talked a lot.

It is said that Yuan Shu is powerful, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that, the vanguard army was easily repelled, and it would be more difficult to take Changyi from Lu Bu's hands than ascending to the sky.

After the secret remarks reached Lv Bu's ears, Lv Bu smiled. What he needed was to create such an atmosphere in the city so that the officials of Yanzhou could see hope from him.

When facing the enemy, Lu Bu is proud. It is related to the stability of the city under his rule, so he can't be careless. Besides, with the help of Chen Gong and Guo Jia, Lu Bu only needs to listen to their opinions.

With the help of counselors, Lu Bu felt a lot more relaxed. Letting these counselors take part in the battle, not only trained the counselors, but also made them feel the importance of the monarch.

In addition, Yuan Shu led the army to leave Dingtao for only one day, and then got the news that Ji Ling had been captured alive by the Xuzhou army.

Yuan Shu was moved. Ji Ling was a fierce general in the Yangzhou army, and he had a high prestige among the soldiers. If Ji Ling was captured alive by the enemy, the retreat of the vanguard would have a considerable impact on the morale of the army.

Yang Hongdao: "My lord, Xuzhou's elite army, now that the vanguard army has failed, the morale of the army will definitely be affected."

"I didn't expect the generals under Lu Bu to be so brave." Yuan Shu sighed.

Chapter 183 Yang Hong

"The most frightening thing is not Xu Chu, but Lu Buye. It is said that Xu Chu was originally a fierce general under Cao Cao's command, and he was captured alive for Lu Bu." Yang Hong said.

Yuan Shu's expression changed slightly. He originally thought that with a strong general like Ji Ling under his command, he wouldn't have any big problems against Lu Bu. Who knew that this time the enemy was so tough.

"My lord, Lu Bu only has the courage of an ordinary man, and he is not afraid. He can be defeated with a little trick. If Changyi is in the hands of the lord, who would dare to disobey the orders of the lord in the counties and counties of Yanzhou?" Han Yin saw Yuan Shu Feeling a little apprehensive towards Lu Bu, he said hastily.

Yang Hong snorted coldly: "Han Zong should not put personal grievances and lord's great cause together."

The failure of the vanguard army made Yuan Shu gradually calm down. The Xuzhou army was indeed at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. If there was a war with Lu Bu, Yuan Shu would need to mobilize more troops to come. Judging from the combat effectiveness of Pengcheng's army, it is true that It is not to be underestimated.

Confronting Lv Bu will inevitably consume more food, grass and supplies. In the battle of Yanzhou, the loss of soldiers in the army has exceeded [-]. Once the battle becomes more intense, Lv Bu can completely defend the city, which will not benefit him too much.

But thinking that Changyi fell into Lv Bu's hands, Yuan Shu felt a little depressed. He is a powerful prince, and he contributed the most in this battle, so he deserved more benefits.

"After Benhou arrives in Changyi, we will make a conclusion." Yuan Shu said in a deep voice.

In the evening of the next day, Yuan Shu led his army to station ten miles away from Changyi.

The camp of more than [-] troops can be described as mighty.

The news of the arrival of Yuan Shu's army made Yanzhou officials feel uneasy. Capturing Yuan Shu's vanguard alive would demoralize the Yangzhou army, but Yuan Shu's strength is still there. If a war breaks out, the outcome is uncertain.

On the night when Yuan Shu's army arrived in Changyi, Yang Hong came to the city as the envoy of Yuan Shu's army.

Different from Han Yin's performance, Yang Hong was more modest and prudent, and he seemed kind when he spoke. From him, he couldn't feel Han Yin's arrogance.

Knowing that Yang Hong asked to see him, Lu Bu immediately agreed.

"My lord, Yang Hong's visit this time must be to persuade my lord. My lord only needs to express his goodwill and is willing to release Ji Ling, and Yuan Shu will definitely not make things difficult." Chen Gong said.

Lu Bu nodded his head, "If the troops under my command are well-equipped with food, why would I worry about the Yangzhou Army?"

"After Yanzhou is stabilized, my lord can plan it slowly." Chen Gongdao, from Lu Bu's words, he felt ambition. As a monarch, if he didn't have ambition, how would he get more talents to follow behind him.

The troubled times have kicked off, and now it is time for the princes to use their means. If you want to gain more power, you must have enough strength.

Winners and losers, after failure, will lose everything.

"With the lord's heroic appearance, he will definitely be able to achieve great things." Chen Gong said.

Lu Bu laughed and said, "With Gongtai and others at your side to assist, why not worry about major events not being accomplished."

Chen Gong's heart warmed up. He betrayed Cao Cao and joined Lv Bu. This was an act that would make people despise him. It was not Lv Bu's solicitation, but his active choice. He has been reused, and he will humbly listen to his opinions on some things.

The monarch is worthy of following only if he is tolerant.

The longer he had been in contact with Lu Bu, the more Chen Gong would be able to discover the advantages of Lu Bu. With the reputation of a peerless general, he is a monarch who knows how to use people well, which is unimaginable for ordinary people.

This also made Chen Gong have greater confidence in Lu Bu. Under the leadership of Lu Bu, Yanzhou may become more brilliant and powerful.

"My lord, Yang Hong has already been brought outside the door." Wang Kai said as he walked into the room.

"Let this person in." Lu Bu said lightly.

Chen Gong persuaded: "My lord, Yang Hong is Yuan Shu's most trusted adviser, if my lord greets him personally, it will make Yuan Shu more satisfied."

Lu Bu pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement.

Seeing this scene, Wang Kai was slightly surprised, what a proud person Lu Bu was, he agreed to Chen Gong's request, he could naturally see that Lu Bu paid more attention to Yang Hong's future benefits, but he didn't say anything about it.

Guo Jia was nodding in secret. Only by being able to bend and stretch can he lead a party. When dealing with the enemy, he should use thunderous means to treat his own people like warm wind and light rain.

Many monarchs understand this truth, but when they are really asked to do it, it is difficult to do so.

Just like this time when Yuan Shu sent troops to Changyi in anger, it was an inappropriate move in itself. After Lu Bu occupied Changyi, it was impossible to send it to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shao found an opportunity.

"Greetings to Marquis Wen." Seeing Lu Bu coming out to greet him in person, Yang Hong was taken aback and hurriedly saluted.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Yang Changshi doesn't need to be so polite, please come in."

After being seated, Lu Bu recommended Guo Jia, Chen Gong and others for Yang Hong.

Yang Hongdao: "There is some misunderstanding between Marquis Wen and General Yuan, so General Yuan ordered me to come here."

Lu Bu said, "There are indeed some misunderstandings."

"Marquis Wen and General Yuan sent troops to quell the chaos in Yanzhou. General Yuan suffered heavy losses. I don't know what Marquis Wen means?" Yang Hong asked.

After receiving Lu Bu's hint, Chen Gong said: "Yang Changshi, Marquis Wen led the army to pacify Yanzhou, and he paid a big price. Now General Yuan occupies Chenliu County and Jiyin County. Wealthy, Marquis Wen will not interfere with the affairs of the two counties, not only that, Marquis Wen is also willing to give up Dongjun to General Yuan."

"Chen Biejia, even though Cao Cao was defeated, he still has thousands of elite troops under his command. It will not be easy to break through Dongjun." Yang Hong said.

Chen Gong said with a smile: "I have heard that General Yuan's soldiers are elite and invincible. Cao Cao's army was defeated and returned to Dongjun, and his morale was frustrated. Could it be that General Yuan can't break through Dongjun?"

"If Marquis Wen is willing to help, then Cao Cao will have nothing to worry about." Yang Hong turned his attention to Lu Budao.

The short conversation allowed Yang Hong to see more things. Lu Bu was unwilling to break with Yuan Shu at this time. This is actually important to Yuan Shu. It must be known that the princes of the world are Yuan Shu and Lu Bu. There are not a few officials here, and Yuan Shao, who is entrenched in Jizhou, has many enmities with Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu broke with Lu Bu, Yuan Shao will only be happy.

"I don't know what Yang Changshi means?" Lu Bu asked.

Yang Hongdao: "If Marquis Wen is willing to send troops to help, he will try his best to persuade General Yuan after he returns to the army."

"The Marquis will send three thousand soldiers to help General Yuan," Lu Bu said.

Chapter 184 Cheng Yu's Strategy

With the intention of continuing to cooperate, the next conversation went much smoother, and Ji Ling will leave with Yang Hong.

Yanzhou governs Shanyang County, Rencheng Country, Dongping Country, Dongjun County, Jiyin County, Chenliu County, Jibei Country, Chenliu County, Jiyin County and Dongjun County, occupying more than half of Yanzhou. In fact, this time the division of Yanzhou In terms of action, it was Yuan Shu who took the lead.

This time the two sides cooperated to attack Yanzhou, causing the alliance to break up. If the war lasts for too long, it will not benefit both sides. The best policy is to stabilize the rule as soon as possible and recuperate.

Yang Hong was the chief counselor under Yuan Shu's tent, so he could see all this clearly. If the rift between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu could not be eliminated, war would inevitably break out between the two sides in the future.

After Cao Cao and Liu Dai disappeared in Yanzhou, Lu Bu's territory and Yuan Shu's territory had too many borders. It can be expected that the two sides will definitely hoard troops and horses in the important cities bordering each other to guard against each other.

After Yang Hong left, Guo Jia said, "Marquis Wen, it seems that Yuan Shu will not invade Yanzhou and Xuzhou in a short time."

"The fact that we were able to achieve such a victory in Yanzhou this time has a lot to do with the hard work of you and the officers and men of the army. When this matter is over, I will definitely reward you for your merits." Lu Bu laughed.

Now that there is no threat from Yuan Shu for the time being, Lu Bu is relieved. As long as Yanzhou and Xuzhou can achieve great development, they will have greater capital when they confront Yuan Shu in the future.

After Yang Hong and Ji Ling returned to the army, they persuaded Yuan Shu. In the end, Yuan Shu agreed to Lu Bu's request. The two sides continued to maintain the alliance and attacked Cao Cao in Dongjun.

Han Yin scolded Yuan Shu bloody, Yuan Shu still trusts Ji Ling, the number one fighter under his command.

Cao Cao, who has been paying attention to the situation in Changyi, learned that there was no fighting outside the city of Changyi, and there is something wrong with him secretly. At this time, he is already in Dongjun, which is already embarrassing. Will Lu Bu and Yuan Shu let him go?

If a war breaks out between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, Cao Cao still has a chance to recapture the city of Yanzhou. It is basically impossible for the two sides to unite and fight with Cao Jun's current strength.

Since the defeat of Yanzhou, the soldiers in the army were able to panic. Cao Cao used extraordinary means to stabilize the morale of the army, so as to avoid more situations.

In charge of Yanzhou, Cao Cao's troops increased sharply, but the strength of the lieutenant soldiers was also uneven. The most elite tiger and leopard cavalry lost more than half in the confrontation with the Xuzhou army's Xiao cavalry battalion. On the way to Dongjun, many soldiers At this time, Cao Cao had only more than [-] troops under his command.

Cao Cao's process of taking charge of Yanzhou can be described as ups and downs.

"My lord, Yuan Shu sent General Ji Ling to lead an army of [-] to Dongjun, and Lu Bu sent [-] soldiers to follow Yuan Shu's army. The map must be the land of Dongjun." Cheng Yu's words were full of worry.
