"En, that's good. Besides, our lord has taken down Xuzhou, but the surrounding vassals will not submit. Cao Cao has just retreated, but he will definitely come back. We still need to resist Yuan Shu's harassment. If Lu Bu is here, we can use him to stop Yuan Shu. Then, we will focus on dealing with Cao Cao!”
The current Cao Cao was still not the Cao Cao who ruled the world.
He had not experienced the Battle of Guandu.
The largest feudal lord in the south was Yuan Shu, and the largest feudal lord in the north was Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao did not only want to deal with Liu Bei, but also the one above him.
Now, Yuan Shu was still jumping around and not claiming to be an emperor.
Yuan Shao was still fighting to the death with Gongsun Zan.
Naturally, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had a good relationship.
However, if Yuan Shu died and Yuan Shao unified the four northern regions, Cao Cao would have to face a colossus like Yuan Shu.
He knew that.
This was also the reason why Cao Cao wanted to take down Xu Prefecture.
Only then would he have the chance to deal with Yuan Shao head-on!
"My lord, it is true that Yuan Shu sent someone to ask us to cede territory to him. What a joke!”
In the past, he had already disliked Yuan Shu in the Barony Alliance.
At this time, he still wanted them to cede territory and follow him?
What a joke!
He, Zhang Fei, was the first one who couldn't stand it.
"Military Advisor is right. Yuan Shu and Cao Cao are really fierce tigers!”
Liu Bei sighed.
The biggest threat to Xu came from two directions. One was Cao Cao occupying Yanzhou in the west, and the other was Yuan Shu occupying Huainan in the south.
After Liu Bei was appointed as the herdsman of Xu Prefecture, Yuan Shu first expressed his dissatisfaction and jealousy.
First, he found someone to come over.
However, if he were to refuse this time, Liu Bei knew very well.
Yuan Shu would definitely send troops to attack Liu Bei. Liu Bei's army was prepared to attack Yuan Shu.
In line with the principle of not separating two battlefronts, of course, they could not fight with Cao Cao at the same time.
The original intention of taking down Lu Bu was to let Lu Bu defend Xiao Pei against the attack from the west.
Then, Liu Bei went to attack Yuan Shu himself.
"But wouldn't Lu Bu take the opportunity to take over?”
Chen Deng asked.
He already had the answer.
However, he still asked to see how White Night would answer.
Ever since Lu Bu escaped from Chang 'an, he had been wandering around the world. No one dared to take him in.
In the end, Chen Gong brought Lu Bu to Yanzhou to attack the Cao army in order to keep them in check.
Chen Gong had invited Lu Bu over when Cao Cao's army was attacking Xuzhou.
In the entire Yanzhou, only three cities remained loyal to the Cao army.
This meant that the Cao army's foundation in Yanzhou was not stable.
Lu Bu was originally a group of instructors without a fixed base.
It wasn't easy for Chen Gong to invite him to fight Cao Cao, but he was defeated.
Therefore, Lu Bu could only escape to the east, which was Xuzhou.
The composition of Lu Bu's troops was very complicated. His main force was the Bingzhou Army.
In addition, Chen Gong had sent troops to Yanzhou.
After the two factions were defeated by Cao Cao, they lost their bases.
The most important task for Lu Bu and Chen Gong was to find a base.
In the Eastern Han warlords 'chaotic era, even first-class bandits often had no food or clothing without a base.
Lu Bu and Chen Gong's troops had fought Cao Cao back and forth in Yanzhou, which meant that Lu Bu and Chen Gong's troops were not weak.
No matter what, there were still tens of thousands of people. For the sake of expediency, Lu Bu chose to join Liu Bei. After all, a defeated army could not force itself.
After choosing to join Liu Bei, Liu Bei let Lu Bu guard Xiao Pei with a clear goal.
It was to guard against Cao Cao in the west. If they attacked Xiapei, the capital of Xuzhou, from Yanzhou, Xiaopei was the only way.
"My Lord, take him in, but we must guard against him. Lu Bu is a double-edged sword. If we use him well, we can use him to increase our strength. If we don't use him well, he will bite us back.”
Liu Bei had been too careless and exposed his life to Lu Bu.
If Liu Bei had been heavily guarded, Lu Bu would not have had the chance to ambush his subordinates.
But in reality, Liu Bei was in front, but the rear was very empty. This was equivalent to placing a piece of fat meat beside the wolf's den. Did you think that wolves would not eat meat?
And Lu Bu was the wolf when the opportunity presented itself.
Chen Gong incited Lu Bu to attack Xuzhou. This was an opportunity, so why not launch a sneak attack?
"It seems that Advisor Jun already has a countermeasure. Then I won't say anything more!”
Chen Deng smiled as he looked at Bai Ye. He had some ideas in his mind.
He had also joined Liu Bei's group.
The entire Xu Prefecture was completely under Liu Bei's control.
However, Chen Deng had always belonged to the Chen family of Xu Prefecture.
If Liu Bei stayed in Xu Prefecture, he would follow Liu Bei.
And it just so happened that he wanted to use this incident with Lu Bu to test whether Liu Bei was a lord that he could entrust to!
This concerned the lives of hundreds of people in the Chen family.
Chen Deng had no choice but to be cautious!
.......................
Yanzhou.
Cao Cao, who had just conquered Yanzhou, was listening to his subordinate's report.
Lu Bu went to Xuzhou.
Now, Cheng Yu also asked worriedly,""My lord, if Lu Bu and Liu Bei join forces, wouldn't our plans become even more difficult?”
Lu Bu's martial strength, as well as Guan Zhangdian and the other two.
It was terrifying just thinking about it.
"How could you not know what kind of person Lu Bu is? If this wolf goes to Liu Bei, how can he be happy?？”
Cao Cao replied with a smile.
He didn't think that Lu Bu would submit to someone else!
However, he was now completely jealous of Lu Bu and White Night.
If it wasn't for White Night guarding him so tightly that he couldn't move an inch…
He would have taken Xu Prefecture and returned to Yanzhou.
And Lu Bu was even more so!
TMD！
I went to war, and you almost stole my home!
Just wait!
You, the last strategist, are worthy of Cai Yan!？
Cao Cao was furious. He swore that he would definitely seize Xu and accept Cai Yan!
