Liu Cheng's words may seem ordinary, but in fact, there is a lot of thought in them.

The first is to confirm the combat power of Baibo Thief.

In this current situation, to affirm the fighting power of the Baibo thieves is to affirm the fighting power of Lu Bu and others.

It is much more useful than directly saying that Lu Bu and others have superior combat power.

Secondly, he expressed his concerns about fighting against the Baibo pirates.

It is easy for Lu Bu, who is hostile to him and regards himself as a competitor, to have the idea in his heart that this guy is also worried about fighting against the Baibo pirates.

As for Liu Cheng's statement that the Yellow River acted as a barrier, many of its advantages could not be used, so he quietly stood by Lu Bu's side and explained it for Lu Bu.

As for why his target was Zhang Liao, he named Zhang Liao and Gao Shun together and asked Lu Bu for help.

Naturally, this is to leave room for bargaining...

Moreover, in these words, he also mentioned Dong Zhuo, who gave the order...

Lu Bu, who just now was hostile to Liu Cheng because he felt he had lost face in front of Liu Cheng, after hearing the words Liu Cheng said and seeing Liu Cheng's sincere attitude, the hostility in his heart suddenly disappeared.

A lot has dissipated.

He thought for a while, looked at Liu Cheng and nodded and said: "What Kede said is true. We did underestimate the Baibo thief before...

...It's just that Luoyang also needs defense. If there are too many soldiers and horses left here, I'm afraid there will be trouble in Luoyang...

That's good. I'll leave Wenyuan's and Hao Sima's troops here to assist you, Kede, in attacking the Baibo bandits.

There are few troops and horses in Luoyang, so I can’t leave too many troops and horses..."

Lu Bu said this to Liu Cheng.

Lu Bu naturally had his own little thoughts in it.

From the perspective of closeness and distance, Gao Shun is naturally close to him, while Zhang Liao, who only followed him last year, is much more distant.

This time he crossed the river to attack the Baibo bandits. After his personal experience, he understood a truth.

The truth is that it needs to be filled with human lives.

Those who participate in the war will definitely suffer a lot of casualties.

In this case, he was naturally more willing to let Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses die more and save Gao Shun's soldiers and horses.

After all, there is a difference between closeness and distance.

Of course, in addition to these, another more important thing is that Gao Shun is one of the few infantry generals under his command, and the soldiers and horses he leads are also extremely elite infantry.

This time when crossing the river to attack thieves, it would be difficult for the horses to transport them to the other side, and the cavalry would also be used as infantry.

The high-shun department naturally brings great advantages.

Lu Bu's competitive thoughts towards Liu Cheng could not be eliminated with just a few words from Liu Cheng.

Naturally, Lu Bu would not keep Gao Shun, who could best take advantage of the current situation, to help Liu Cheng build his career.

Liu Cheng was naturally happy when he saw that his goal was achieved.

However, in order to make the play more complete and prevent Lu Bu from realizing that his real purpose was Zhang Liao, he started talking again, bargained with Lu Bu, and asked Lu Bu for Gao Shun.

Naturally Lu Bu would not agree.

The final result was that Lu Bu left Zhang Liao and Hao Meng behind to assist Liu Cheng.

Faced with this result, Liu Cheng and Lu Bu were actually very happy in their hearts.

Liu Cheng did it because he achieved his goal.

Lu Bu realized some of his ideas successfully and did not leave Gao Shun behind, who was most capable of playing a role in the current situation...

Lu Bu walked very quickly.

After deciding with Liu Cheng who would stay here, he immediately ordered his troops to pack up their things, and within an hour, they began to retreat from here.

On the one hand, it was because Dong Zhuo gave urgent military orders, asking him to return to Luoyang immediately after Liu Cheng came over to strengthen Luoyang's military strength.

On the other hand, Lu Bu didn't want to stay in this land that didn't allow him to show off his power. He always felt uncomfortable in his heart and lost his face.

Facing Liu Cheng here, who had achieved dazzling results at Bishui Pass during this period of time, he felt like a light on his back.

After watching Lu Bu lead his troops to leave from here, Liu Cheng, whose leg injury was basically healed, immediately came to Zhang Liao and without saying a word, he reached out and took Zhang Liao's hand...
