Giant Deer.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Lu Fengnian sat high in the main seat. Chen Gong and Zhang Liao sat on the left and right, and Gao Shun sat behind him.
"Gongtai, do you think that Yuan Shao will be flustered and exasperated if we occupy Julu as soon as we arrive at Jizhou?”
"My lord, there's no need to worry," Chen Gong said confidently.”
"At this moment, Yuan Shao is fighting with Gongsun Zan in Youzhou. As long as we don't really want to destroy his base, he won't be desperate.”
"Moreover, with all due respect, with my lord's current strength, even if he is invincible, it is still impossible to take down Jizhou.”
"Gongtai, don't worry. I'm not so arrogant as to think that I can sweep the world right now." Lu Fengnian waved his hand and smiled.”
"The Giant Deer is just a temporary resting place. My goal has always been clear!”
"However, I've always heard that Yuan Shao is narrow-minded. I've taken over his city so brazenly, can he really keep his cool?”
"Even if he doesn't come personally, sending a general to suppress the encirclement is inevitable, right?”
Chen Gong cupped his hands." Don't worry, my lord. Even if Yuan Shao is not clear about the pros and cons, there are still many capable people around him who can give him pointers."”
"Now that my lord's fame is out there, resounding throughout the Nine States, all the vassals are thinking about how to rope him in. I think that Yuan Benchu is extremely friendly to my lord. As long as he can be on good terms with my lord, why would he care about the loss of a city?”
"On the other hand, if he really dares to provoke my lord now, we can casually express our goodwill to one of the vassals and borrow troops to attack for real. Wouldn't he regret it if we destroyed his Jizhou headquarters?”
"It's the eve of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan's final battle, so he definitely won't take such a risk.”
"However, we can't take the initiative to attack the city. If that's too much, it's not impossible for Yuan Benchu, the grand Duke of the Four Generations, to be desperate.”
"So, my lord, we just need to rest up in Julu and wait for the decisive battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan.”
Lu Fengnian nodded. He was in a good mood.
"Mister is right. This general is now considered a hot figure. I guess Yuan Benchu won't be stupid enough to put himself in a situation where he's being attacked from both sides.”
Everyone laughed heartily.
……
Xuchang.
Cao Cao had just woken up today when he received news about Lu Fengnian.
"This kid is really courageous!”
"He actually dared to attack Yuan Benchu's base camp in Jizhou with just a few thousand soldiers.”
"I think that petty fellow Yuan Benchu is probably hopping mad!”
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
"I didn't expect Lu Fengnian to start a war with Yuan Shao so soon.”
"Yuan Shao's Four Court Pillars of Hebei Province all have extraordinary combat strength. They have an army of hundreds of thousands that even I fear! This guy is still too young."
"My lord, do you think Yuan Shao will attack Lu Fengnian?" Guo Jia asked with a smile.”
Hearing this, Cao Cao stopped smiling and asked Guo Jia,""What do you think, Fengxiao?"
Guo Jia shook his head and said," I don't think Yuan Shao will be so angry that he'll go and find trouble with Lu Fengnian. On the contrary, he'll most likely give him a city or even lend him troops and food."”
" Lu Fengnian took advantage of Yuan Shao's decisive battle with Gongsun Zan in Youzhou to launch a sneak attack on Julu," Cao Cao said, puzzled." Not only is Yuan Benchu not angry, but he's also trying to curry favor with Lu Fengnian?"”
"My lord, Lu Fengnian is a young genius," Guo Jia continued.”
"Right now, all the dukes are probably eyeing him and can't wait to recruit him. Even if they can't recruit him as a general, it would be great if they could ally with him.”
Hearing this, Cao Cao thought about it and nodded,""Fengxiao is right. Recently, Lu Fengnian has indeed become famous and attracted the attention of many parties.”
"However, based on my understanding of Yuan Shao, this person is narrow-minded before being polite to the wise.”
"Can he really keep his cool and just let it go? How could he give up a city just like that?”
"You must know that you can't allow others to sleep soundly beside your bed!”
"Besides, how can Yuan Benchu see Lu Fengnian's value?”
At this time, Xun Yu cupped his hands and said,"My Lord, Yuan Shao does not have such vision. He still has many strategists under him."”
"Let's not talk about the distant ones. Does my lord still remember Xu You?”
Xu You and Cao Cao were childhood friends. How could he not remember?
"En, I forgot that Yuan Shao had Xu Ziyuan's help. It's not strange that he could do it to this extent. Haha!"
Guo Jia drank a cup of wine and smiled."Not only Xu You, but Tian Feng and Ju Shou are not ordinary people!”
"This Yuan Shao Wu has four court pillars, Wen has Xu, Tian and the others, he is really like the sun at noon!”
Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but frown.
"That's right, once Yuan Benchu completely unifies Hebei, he'll have control over Qing, You, Bing, and Hebei. I'm afraid it'll be even harder to deal with him.”
Cao Cao had to worry. Yuan Shao himself was born into a prestigious family of four generations and three dukes. All the celebrities competed to join him. The civil officials and generals under him were all first-class in the world.
If Cao Cao wanted to unify the world and achieve unparalleled achievements, Yuan Shao was the biggest stumbling block!
Guo Jia smiled leisurely." My lord, you don't have to worry. Yuan Shao is not a heroic ruler with great talent and strategy. If he wants to rule the world, he will never get the chance."”
"Lu Fengling led the army north, not for sightseeing.”
"If my guess is correct, Chen Gong must have come up with a plan to boldly take down an insignificant city and use it as a temporary stronghold.”
"The real purpose is to wait for Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan to fight so that they can reap the benefits!”
"My lord, why don't we imitate this plan and conserve our strength, waiting for the right opportunity to be the oriole behind the cicada catching mantis?”
These words were so simple that everyone understood. A knowing smile appeared on their faces.
A decisive battle was about to begin.
Who would win the battle?
