Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle
Chapter 246 Taking advantage of the chaos to save the emperor
After the Black Mountain Army was defeated and fled, Lu Bu felt that he had made great military achievements and could not wait to ask Yuan Shao to send him reinforcements.
When meeting with Yuan Shao, Lu Bu spoke eloquently and incessantly, expressing his great contribution in defeating the Black Mountain Army. He also vowed to press on with the victory, expand the results, and continue to make new contributions for Yuan Shao.
Lu Bu's statement not only failed to impress Yuan Shao, but instead made Yuan Shao suspicious of him.
In Yuan Shao's view, things are not that simple.
Although Lu Bu was brave and good at fighting, it was precisely because of his bravery and fighting skills that Yuan Shao was afraid of him.
After all, Lu Bu was able to exert such terrifying combat power with only a few dozen cavalrymen. If he were really given thousands of elite cavalrymen, who knows what would happen to Jizhou.
In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed on Yuan Shao. After all, Lu Bu’s past actions were indeed hard to trust.
Back then, Lu Bu first killed Ding Yuan under his command, and then defected to Dong Zhuo and killed him again.
You know, in that era, job-hopping was common, but there were very few people like Lu Bu who would cross the river and destroy the bridge wherever he went and eat and then destroy the pot.
Faced with such a notorious Lu Bu, Yuan Shao naturally did not hesitate too much and decisively rejected his request.
After this incident, the already fragile trust between the two was completely broken. At the same time, the news that Lu Bu's troops were looting the people also reached Yuan Shao's ears.
In that chaotic period, similar incidents occurred frequently and were not surprising.
However, for Yuan Shao at this moment, this was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The sapling in my heart, which had long been nurtured by suspicion, has now become as deeply rooted as a towering tree.
Although Lu Bu did not have much strategy, he was able to stand out in a chaotic world, so he was naturally not a fool. He soon discovered Yuan Shao's attitude.
Although he was brave, he was after all in Yuan Shao's own small piece of land, so he was naturally afraid that Yuan Shao would suddenly do something irrational.
Yuan Shao had the same worry. At this time, not only did the two of them have no trust in each other, but they even disliked each other.
Yuan Shao wanted Lu Bu to leave, but now it is easier to invite a god than to send him away! Yuan Shao had to find a legitimate excuse.
Cao Cao had already understood the deep meaning of Xi Zhicai's words. Liu Huangshu conquered three counties in just ten days. Such a feat must have made Yuan Benchu feel terrified.
He was unwilling to see Uncle Liu's power grow, and had no intention of welcoming Emperor Xian. At this moment, he also wanted to expel Lu Bu from his camp.
In this way, several things intertwined together, and Yuan Shao had sufficient reasons to send Lu Bu away.
As for Lu Bu, he had nowhere to settle down at this moment.
Although Luoyang was in ruins, at least there was a place to live;
More importantly, the emperor happened to be in Luoyang City.
As long as he can occupy Luoyang, he will surely hold power over the world like Dong Zhuo did in the past.
As for whether he would be retaliated by Liu Bei, he was not worried.
He was very confident. He believed that with his unparalleled martial arts and the awe-inspiring Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, no one in the world could compete with him.
"Zhicai, what are the chances of success in this matter?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.
Xi Zhicai's face was filled with a brilliant smile, like a beautiful flower blooming in the courtyard: "My lord, don't worry, I am at least 80% sure!"
Xi Zhicai continued to analyze, "The advisers under Yuan Benchu's command are not ordinary people. They are all very smart! They are the best at figuring out Yuan Benchu's thoughts, so how could they not see through the benefits and disadvantages?"
"If they really haven't understood it, that's fine. I have some friendship with Guo Wenzhe, I can write him a letter and remind him."
"In my opinion, if nothing unexpected happened, he should have already seen through the dilemma Yuan Shao is facing now. How could he easily miss this opportunity to make great contributions in front of Yuan Shao?"
The various forces under Yuan Shao were intertwined and their relationships were extremely complicated, but the ones that truly held significant influence were the local aristocratic families in Jizhou.
Guo Tu, an outsider from Yingchuan, had no roots in Jizhou.
If he wanted to gain a firm foothold in Yuan Shao's group, he had no choice but to cling tightly to Yuan Shao, this towering tree.
Yuan Shao was a man who was generous at heart but cautious at outside. Given his personality, if Guo Tu wanted to cling to him, he had to cater to him and flatter him in every way.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Zhicai! This plan is indeed brilliant. If everything goes according to plan, then Lü Fengxian will definitely lead the army to attack Luoyang. At that time, we can take advantage of the chaos to escort the emperor to Yanzhou safely."
"I still have some concerns about this matter. Uncle Liu is extremely intelligent and can be called a genius of the time. Since the emperor is in Luoyang right now, with his wisdom and strategy, how could he be unprepared for possible changes? I'm afraid he has already secretly deployed his troops and is on guard."
"Regarding the military situation in Luoyang, I have already obtained all the information clearly through scouts. When Emperor Liu led his army to conquer Yingchuan, he took away 40,000 elite soldiers! By this calculation, the number of soldiers left in Luoyang City must not exceed 20,000."
"There are only 20,000 soldiers, but they have to be stationed at various passes around Luoyang, and they have to ensure the security and defense of the city. The troops are definitely stretched to the limit."
"If Lü Fengxian could personally lead an army and concentrate all his forces to launch a fierce attack on a certain pass, once he successfully broke through the pass, Luoyang City would be like an empty city with no defenses at all."
After listening to what Xi Zhicai said, Cao Cao understood everything and immediately made up his mind to take action.
Now that Emperor Liu is attacking Yuzhou, his strength is unstoppable. In the near future, Yuzhou will inevitably fall into his hands.
There is little room for choice left for me. If I want to achieve great things in this chaotic world, how can I continue to follow the old ways and be timid?
We must strike decisively to seize the initiative! Cao Cao knew that time was running out and opportunities were fleeting.
Cao Cao's eyes flashed with determination and resoluteness. He knew that the road ahead was rough and bumpy, but as long as he had great ambitions and moved forward courageously, he would be able to overcome the difficulties and realize his ambitions...
