Three Kingdoms: Warriors Lu Bu, You Can Become Stronger By Killing Enemies

Chapter [139] The Pattern Of The World

After Xu You left, Zhang Yang asked, "Will this guy be honest?"

Lu Bu casually said: "It doesn't matter, who cares? Anyway, he won't be needed in the short term, so just take a leisurely move, maybe it will come in handy in the future. 17

"Fengxian, when did you know how to play chess?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.

Lu Bu cast a sideways glance at Zhang Yang, seeing this guy's serious expression, there was no way to continue the conversation.

"Don't worry about playing chess, Bingzhou will be handed over to you and Wenyuan in the future, Wenyuan will be in charge of the north of Taiyuan, south of Taiyuan, north of the Yellow River, including Hanoi County and Hedong County, and you will be in charge in the future.

"I will leave 10,000 elite soldiers for you, and you can recruit some soldiers from Bingzhou to increase the number of troops to 20,000. The 200,000 shi of grain and grass Yuan Shao gives every year is just right for you to serve as military rations.

"As for the 10,000 soldiers that Yuan Shao compensated, I will bring them back to Guanzhong to practice, so as not to rebel again under your command." Lu Bu carefully ordered to make a statement.

"Understood." Zhang Yang was a little embarrassed, "I will definitely not rebel this time."

"If you are rebelled by your subordinates again, you can jump directly into the Yellow River." Lu Bu said unhappily.

"Hahaha~" Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

After all the affairs were settled, Zhang Liao returned to Wuyuan County with his cavalry to continue grazing.

Lu Bu originally had 15,000 soldiers under his command, but 5,000 troops were lost in this battle, and the remaining 10,000 were directly given to Zhang Yang. As for Lu Bu, he returned to Guanzhong with the 10,000 Yuan Shao compensated.

Yuzhou, Qiao County.

This is Cao Cao's hometown, which was originally under Yuan Shu's sphere of influence.

But at this time, Cao Cao took the princes of Cao Xia and was worshiping the ancestors in his hometown, and this place had been taken down by Cao Cao.

This time Cao Cao used troops and joined forces with Liu Biao in Jingzhou to attack Yuan Shu from the north and the south at the same time. Yuan Shu was completely overwhelmed and ran away without Nanyang.

Cao Cao and Liu Biao each had what they needed. Cao Cao captured the entire territory of Yuzhou, and Liu Biao also regained Nanyang County and restored the entire territory of Jingzhou.

Cao Cao's sphere of influence at this moment is not inferior to Yuan Shao's.

Yuan Shao on the north side of the Yellow River is located in Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou.

Cao Cao in the south of the Yellow River is located in Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Yuzhou.

This is also the reason why Lu Bu did not attack Hebei, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had to be kept to fight.

Once Lu Bu defeats Yuan Shao, Guanzhong will be beyond reach and difficult to control Hebei. Although it is not an enclave, its control is too weak.

Moreover, it is easy to fight territory and difficult to defend territory. At present, Lu Bu only needs to defend Guanzhong well. If he has Hebei, the strategic defense line will be very long, and it will become a burden at that time.

Having said that, Hebei is not so easy to fight, if not, it will make Lu Bu fall into the quagmire of war, and it will be difficult to solve it in a short time, so it is better to stop it.

After the ancestor worship was over, Xun Yu in the distance immediately approached with the battle report.

"Wen Ruo, what happened?" Cao Cao asked.

"The battle between Lu Bu and Yuan Shao finally ended with Yuan Shao's defeat." Xun Yu took out the military report and handed it to Cao Cao, "Yuan Shao signed five alliances under the city in order to seek peace.

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and looked at the military newspaper.

"Hahaha~" Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed, "I said long ago that there are not enough primitive people."

"Such a humiliating and harsh alliance under the city, Yuan Shao was able to agree to it, and all the members of the Yuan family were sent away by him.

"And his ineffective younger brother Yuan Shu, who is also a dandy, was beaten by us and ran away." Cao Cao shook his head again and again, "By the way, where did that guy Yuan Shu go?"

"Run to Liu Bei's side." Xun Yu replied.

"Liu Bei." Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, "My two enemies got together."

"Liu Bei's traitor dares to occupy Huainan privately, his heart is to be punished!"

After Liu Bei left Xuzhou with his subordinates and went to Huainan, he began to develop his power.

(aedf) He won the battle with the governor of Yangzhou and knocked out the original governor. Now Liu Bei can be regarded as a real rebel.

Uncle Liu's name could not have appeared, and under the influence of Lu Bu, he became Liu's anti-thief.

Don't underestimate this difference, there is a world of difference between the emperor's uncle and the rebel.

Capable and righteous people may seek refuge with Uncle Liu Huang, but normal people will never seek refuge with Liu's rebels.

Originally, Liu Bei was famous all over the world for his benevolence and righteousness, but now he is a notorious assassin.

Except for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, these old people who followed Liu Bei before, no newcomers are willing to follow Liu Bei. Mi Zhu from Xuzhou is the best example.

"My lord, should we be wary of Huainan?" Xun Yu asked.

"When two frustrated people get together, they will only be more frustrated. It's no big deal." Cao Cao said with a smile, "Huainan is only two counties, maybe Liu Bei and Yuan Shu will fight themselves, don't worry about it."

"My lord, this subordinate thinks we need to beware of Lu Bu," Xun Yu said.

Cao Cao nodded slowly, "Indeed, I didn't realize before that Lu Bu has a lot of heart, and with the Son of Heaven in his hand, Lu Bu is definitely a formidable enemy."

After suffering a loss at the hands of Lu Bu, and Yuan Shao was defeated by Lu Bu, Cao Cao was finally willing to face up to Lu Bu's threat.

"There is also Yuan Shao, who endured humiliation and endured humiliation, and tasted his courage. The lord should not be underestimated." Xun Yu continued: "Yuan Benchu's role in the land of the three states is by no means an ordinary person."

"There are only two people in the world who can compete with the lord, Yuan Shao and Lu Bu."

"Fight your troops, prepare your troops for war!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "The Lu in Guanzhong is not too far away, and there is Hangu Pass, so it's not easy to attack."

"Our next target should be on Yuan Shao, presumably Yuan Shao will definitely have our ideas.

One sits on Henan and the other sits on Hebei. Both sides want to expand, and they are the first choice for each other.

Gongsun Zan in Youzhou was already on his last legs, and he crossed the Great Wall to the north and reached the grassland. Yuan Shao was definitely not suitable for expanding northward.

Expansion to the west, just being taught by Lu Bu, Yuan Shao wants to continue to expand the territory, so he can only cross the Yellow River and attack Cao Cao.

Similarly, the range of Cao Cao's strength has been advanced to the Huaihe River area, and there are not many targets that can be captured further south, only Nanyang County in Jingzhou and Huainan occupied by Liu Bei are left.

There are only three counties in total, and Cao Cao looks down on them a little. The huge land of Hebei is Cao Cao's first choice.

Compared with the development in history, under the influence of Lu Bu in this life, Cao Cao's development was smoother, while Yuan Shao's development was suppressed a bit, narrowing the gap in strength between the two.

Naturally, the small difference in strength gave Cao Cao the confidence to start a war with Yuan Shao. .
