Chapter [229] Planning Yuan Cao
"Your Majesty is planning to use troops against both Yuan and Cao at the same time?"
"Yes, I do have this plan." Lu Bu nodded and asked, "What do you think?"
When the four counselors below heard the words, they all fell into deep thought, and began to think about the pros and cons of taking Henan and Hebei at the same time.
"According to the detailed report, Yuan Shao's military strength has expanded to 500,000." Zhang Song said: "Whether it is a recruit or a veteran, the expansion of the military strength to such a degree is already terrifying."
"But Cao Cao has only one hundred thousand troops, and the Central Plains is flat, so there is no danger to defend." Jia Xu said in a deep voice, "As long as Yuan Shao crosses the Yellow River smoothly, Cao Cao will not be able to stop him at all."
"There shouldn't be any suspense in this battle. It's only a matter of time before Yuan Shao takes down Cao Cao," Fa said.
Yang Xiu took over, "After Yuan Shao destroys Cao Cao, we can split into two groups.
"Go all the way to Hanoi County, attack the land of Hebei, and force Yuan Shao to return to the army for rescue."
"The other way goes straight to the land of Henan, and after Yuan Shao returns to the army, he can take it without any effort.
"However, we can get Bingzhou at most in Hebei, and other states and counties are not easy to occupy."
The four counselors quickly reached a consensus when you said something and I said something.
Yuan Shao will win, and Hebei can win Bingzhou at most. Relatively speaking, there is a great chance of winning the whole territory of Henan.
Just like in history, when Yuan Cao started the war, people all over the world were optimistic about the stronger Yuan Shao, and it is the same now.
"You underestimated Cao Cao. It's hard to say who will win this battle." Lu Bu did not agree with the four people's views.
Although it is said that Cao Cao in history did not have Xu You's temporary defection, it would be difficult to make a comeback.
But Cao Cao in this life, although his strength has been greatly reduced, compared with Cao Cao in history, he still has to force a lot.
And there is another point, that is, the generals under Yuan Shao's command have been slaughtered by Lu Bu, and there are no outstanding generals to control the field at all.
Although Cao Cao lost his five sons and good generals, there are still Cao Xiahou, let alone the two ruthless sons Dian Wei and Xu Chu.
Since Zhang Xiu was killed by Lu Bu a long time ago, Cao Cao failed to achieve the achievement of "killing three sages with one shot" in Wancheng. Dian Wei, Cao Ang, and Cao Anmin are all living well now.
And the most important point is that Lu Bu's attitude can influence the direction of Yuan Cao's battle.
Xu You, the key chess piece, is now Lu Bu's pawn.
"Your Majesty thinks Cao Cao has a chance of winning?"
"Yes." Lu Bu nodded and said, "Even if Cao Cao has no chance of winning, we have to let Cao Cao have a chance of winning."
"Yuan and Cao are evenly matched, evenly matched, and in the end both lose, which is the most beneficial situation for us." "
"Yuan Shao crushing Cao Cao must not happen. Otherwise, Henan will be quickly annexed by Yuan Shao. At that time, Yuan Shao will occupy the land of seven states and become our enemy. It will be very difficult to deal with." Lu Bu said with a serious expression.
Once Yuan Shao unifies the two sides of the Yellow River, Yuan Shao's military strength will expand to a terrifying level, and even Lu Bu will be very passive in dealing with it.
"Then how can we help Cao Cao?" Zhang Song asked.
In terms of strength on paper, Cao Cao is absolutely at a disadvantage, and there is no chance of winning.
"Naturally, put some pressure on Yuan Shao's logistics first." Lu Bu said with a smile: "A 500,000-strong army must at least cooperate with a million-level civilian team to transport food. Yuan Shao's logistics pressure must be very heavy."
"Your Majesty, you mean to take advantage of the fire and ask Yuan Shao for some food and grass?" Jia Xu quickly understood.
"That's right, in Yuan Cao's battle, Liu Bei and Sun Ce are far away in the south, beyond reach." Lu Bu continued: and we are the only variable between Yuan and Cao. "
"Yuan Shao has a strong army. He is sure that he can defeat Cao Cao steadily. We don't even need to ask. Before the battle, he will take the initiative to curry favor with us, and even reach an agreement so that we will not intervene in this war."
Lu Bu looked at the crowd and said: "We don't need to take the initiative to contact Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao will definitely take the initiative to contact us, wait for Yuan Shao to send an envoy to come, and we can just open our mouths."
"Your Majesty is wise."
After discussing with the counselors, Lu Bu glanced at the few official documents on the table and asked, "Is there anything important?"
"My lord, no." Jia Xu replied.
"Then let's save it for tomorrow." Lu Bu said and got up.
There are priorities, and not all official documents need to be dealt with immediately, and some of them will be fine after ten and a half months.
If there is an official document coming down, Lu Bu needs to deal with it immediately, so even if Lu Bu doesn't sleep every day, he can't even try to deal with all the government affairs.
Riding back home, as soon as he entered the front yard, he saw his eldest daughter playing with his two younger wives.
"Ah Weng~" Lu Lingqi jumped up and came to Lu Bu, took Lu Bu's hand and said, "Ah Weng, the persimmons are ripe, we can't reach them.
"It's better to let the servants call it down for you." Lu Bu said immediately.
"No." Lu Lingqi said coquettishly: "It's sweeter if you pick it yourself."
Zhen Mi and Mi Zhen also surrounded and booed together.
That is to say, Diao Chan is pregnant, and the Yan family disciplines her strictly, or else there will be another Diao Chan.
The tall Lu Bu directly stretched out his hand to gesture, but there was still some distance left.
However, with Lu Bu's physical fitness and jumping ability, he can pick persimmons with a light jump.
Thinking about it again, since Lu Lingqi and the others wanted to pick it by themselves, Lu Bu simply stopped jumping, and stretched out his giant hand to beat the cattail fan and said, "Come on, Lingqi, stand up."
Lu Lingqi stepped on Lu Bu's palm, Lu Bu supported her daughter with the other hand, let Lu Lingqi stand side by side on the palm, and then lifted Lu Lingqi up with one simple stroke.
"Ah~~~"
The sudden rise made Lu Lingqi startled, and she couldn't help but feel masculine.
However, Lu Bu's sense of touch has been strengthened, and the angle of the palm is constantly adjusted, so that Lu Lingqi always falls firmly on the palm, no matter how shaken it will not fall off.
"Ah Weng is here, Lingqi don't be afraid." Lu Bu Chong Ni comforted her.
Lu Lingqi immediately felt relieved when she heard this, and found that Lu Bu was very stable, without any shaking, as if she was standing on the ground.
"Ah Weng, go to the left." Lu Lingqi immediately lost her fear and began to direct Lu Bu to move.
Lu Bu held Lu Lingqi with one arm, like an acrobatic performer, and took a step forward. Lu Lingqi didn't feel any shaking, and immediately moved to a persimmon, "I can pick it off with just raising my hand.
*`~I got it~" Lu Lingqi said happily.
"Okay ok~"
"I want to play too!"
Zhen Mi and Mi Zhen were arguing and wanted to go up, but Lu Lingqi had no intention of coming down, and Lu Bu only had one hand left, so the two concubines could not be allowed to go up, only a bowl of water should be leveled, and both of them should be pinned up. Alright, let's just watch Lu Lingqi from below.
Listening to the laughter in the front yard, Yan could distinguish Lu Lingqi's laughter, and thought her daughter was playing crazy again, so she rushed to the front yard immediately to suppress her daughter who was too jumpy.
But when he saw that Lu Bu was playing with Lu Lingqi, he lost his temper instantly and didn't say anything to stop her.
It was not until Lu Lingqi was tired from playing and the persimmons on the tree were all picked, that she reluctantly came down.
Zhen Mi and Mi Zhen wanted to go up, but the persimmons were gone, and Sister Yan was still watching, so they didn't dare to be presumptuous, so they had to blame Lu Lingqi, and forced Lu Lingqi to leave in a hurry
"Husband is serious, you just let them mess around." After the three girls left, Yan said with a little complaint, "Lingqi is so lawless because her husband is used to it, like a crazy girl. "
"Don't talk about me." Lu said dissatisfiedly: "You can pamper your son, but I can't pamper your daughter, let's not talk about each other.
The father dotes on his daughter, the (married) mother loves his son, Lu Bu and Yan Shi are just as good as each other, and they are not much better than each other.
In Lu Lingqi's eyes is a loving father and a strict mother; in Lu Shao's eyes is a strict father and a loving mother.
"Can it be the same?" Yan said angrily: "No matter how tall Shao'er is, he is only over three years old. Isn't it normal to be petted? When Lingqi was young, the concubine didn't favor her?"
"But Lingqi is so old, she will be ten years old soon, and it's almost time to get married..."
"What?!" Lu Bu's voice instantly rose eight tunes, how old is my precious daughter? Married? No way! Anyone who dares to propose a marriage will be beaten to death!"
Yan's ears hurt from the shock, she had never seen Lu Bu lose his composure like this, it exploded instantly as if he stepped on Lu Bu's tail.
"Okay, okay, don't marry, don't marry." Yan quickly comforted Lu Bu, secretly dumbfounded, okay, what's wrong?
"Lingqi is less than twenty, don't mention this again!" Lu Bu angrily said.
"Yes, yes, yes." Yan couldn't laugh or cry, thinking that twenty should be twenty, anyway, King Qin's daughter has no worries about getting married.
After a good meal, Yan Orchestra can be regarded as coaxing Zibu well.
But soon, another blind eye bumped into the muzzle of Lu Bu's gun again. .
