Cao Cao bit the Lu Bu army in Dang County tightly, and even fought a battle with Lu Bu without hesitation. Although Lu Bu had a strong combat power, he could not get it well against Cao Cao's team and Xu Chu. The two sides had a draw.

Yuan Shao took this opportunity to launch an attack with Ju Su, and the front line was opened between Dong A and Feng Kingdom. Yuan Shao had the advantage of military strength and generals, but Ju Su was the commander of the guard, while Wei Xu's cavalry was elusive and a pure destroyer, and was completely aimed at non-military targets. Even if Wei Xu could not plunder all these people, he could plunder and even burn their food, and then let these homeless people become a burden for Yuan Shao.

Despite this, Yuan Shao made up his mind to give Lu Bu a good look. This time, he continued to attack without hesitation and gradually pushed the front west to the hinterland of Dongping County.

In general, Yuan Shao had the advantage on the Eastern Front. Although he had a little idea of ​​annihilation of one thousand enemies and losing 800 to himself, he had already captured a lot of territory and his strategic situation was gradually improving.

At this time, the successful raid on Lin Lu made Lu Bu even worse, which meant that Gongsun Zan had entered the game. As a result, Lu Bu's enemies have increased to three. As the saying goes, there will be no more than three things, and if you exceed three, you will have a qualitative change!

In Song Hufeng's eyes, Lin Lu's loss was just a tactical change, but in Pang Yuan's view, it was a strategic turning point. This means that the Central Plains War has entered a new stage and also the most difficult stage for Lu Bu.

"Please look, General."

Lu Bu followed Pang Yuan's finger and stared at the location of Hongnong County.

"Hongnong? Hua Xiong. No, Sima Fang is going to take action?"

"Yes, Sima Fang will do it too!"

Lu Bu frowned. This situation is really ugly. Although Lu Bu is arrogant, he has not seen the world as if nothing is present. Seeing that he is surrounded by all sides and surrounded by wolves, he will inevitably feel a little anxious and worried.

"This office should be able to handle it!"

"It's not just Hongnong, if I'm not wrong, the Iron Army will take the initiative to give up the Western Front and let Gongsun Zan go south. Huangfu Song may also cross the Fen River eastward. Then head south along the west side of Wangwu Mountain. Therefore, the section of the Yellow River from Aocang to Shanxian will face pressure from the north, and Gongtai will be in trouble!"

Lu Bu's frown even tighter. Now it's winter. The Yellow River is frozen, and crossing the river is a relatively simple thing. If Gongsun Zan, Huangfu Song and Hua Xiong take action from the northwest, Chen Gong will be in great trouble.

“How to deal with this?”

"The general is not dissatisfied with the Iron Army's decision?"

Lu Bu shook his head silently: "It's understandable. Although I hope they can resist Gongsun Zan, the foundation of the Iron Army is still too shallow, and it's useless to force others to do something."

Pang Yuan tapped his finger on the map and smiled and said, "It's not completely impossible. First of all, Gongsun Zan. Although the Iron Army let Gongsun Zan go south, the Iron Army's purpose was not to just give in, and it was quite meaningful to pull Gongsun Zan out and beat him."

Lu Bu's eyes lit up: "If the iron army was spying on the side, Gongsun Zan would not dare to cross the river in large numbers."

"Even if the Iron Army does nothing, Gongsun Zan would not dare to cross the river in a big way. What Gongsun Zan wanted was the active situation and strategic buffering of strategic defense. He did not have the idea of ​​being a thug for Yuan Shao. At most, he would pretend to be a good person and defraud some benefits from Yuan Shao. If our army's situation was not so bad that it was about to collapse, Gongsun Zan would not dare to take a single bet."

Pang Yuan's tone was very certain, which made Lu Bu subconsciously choose to believe it. In fact, Pang Yuan's analysis was very thorough, and it could be said that he had killed Gongsun Zan. The purpose and gains of Gongsun Zan's journey south were clear, and Lu Bu had no reason to doubt the correctness of this analysis.

"Then Huangfu Song seems to be equally unsteady in fighting!"

"Yes, General wise!"

"Haha, I feel it, I can't take it true!"

"Haha, that's all, the general's feeling is very accurate. Huangfu Song's problem is that there are few major generals, and he is already a little struggling to occupy the western part of Hedong County. Now that he has crossed the Fen River and controlled the rich land on both sides of the Fen River, he has no energy to continue moving south, or in other words, going south is just a matter of making a move. Unless he can reach a sincere alliance with Gongsun Zan, it is obviously impossible."

"So, Hua Xiong is the only one left!"

Pang Yuan nodded and smiled: "Huaxiong is very good at fighting, and the troops have strong combat power and mobility. Hongnong's mistakes were here before. However, Gongtai and Gao Lan are not Yuan Shu, so they will definitely not make such mistakes again. It is not difficult to deal with Huaxiong. As long as you rely on the city to stick to it, you will fight a logistics attack battle with the other party. The final situation is a battle of entanglement, and more battles will be launched between the strangers."

"I understand between the strange people! But will Sima Fang increase his troops?"

"No! Sima Fang's intention was not to occupy Hongnong County. Hongnong County is a place that is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and there is not much land. Sima Fang would not be unable to see it. Sima Fang's intention was to attack for the sake of attack!"

"Attack for the offense? What is this?"

"To lure one of the biggest troubles to take action!"

"The biggest trouble? Could it be that Liu Bei, how could Liu Bei be the current emperor uncle?"

"How is it impossible? If Liu Bei was really a loyal minister who was devoted to the Han Dynasty, why did he disrespect the emperor's order to make peace with Cao Cao without authorization? Now Cao Cao is attacking me openly, but Liu Bei is using many excuses to swear and delay in sending troops to Cao Cao?"

"this"

Seeing that Lu Bu was still hesitating, Pang Yuan sneered: "Have you ever heard rumors in Dingtao City? About Liu Bei."

"I did hear it before, but Fuqing also said it, that's a rumor!"

"The groundlessness may not be without cause. The general dares to guarantee that Liu Bei does not have this idea? Even if he didn't have it, after hearing this rumor, it would be strange! Liu Bei has always been ambitious and never willing to be inferior to Liu Yu. When he was in Youzhou, he refused to surrender to the lord's peace, and Gongsun Zan, who defected to the lord's war, wanted to gain a reputation. After being driven away by Gongsun Zan, he was unwilling to serve Fang Zhiwen, so he went south to Beijing, taking advantage of the late emperor's urgent need for foreign aid to seize the high position. After entering Jingzhou, he bought people's hearts and accumulated strength. Now Jingzhou is in great governance, Liu Bei shouted to support the Han Dynasty, but did not respect the imperial edict. This person is a traitor and evil person, so there should be no mistakes!"

Lu Bu was stunned and covered in cold sweat when he heard this. After Pang Yuan's words, Lu Bu looked at the map suddenly. If Liu Bei really took action, he would be in danger!

Lu Bu stared at the map for a long time and didn't say anything. Liu Bei's overall strength was only less weak than Cao Cao, and he could even be compared with Yuan Shao. Lu Bu had already struggled to resist Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. If Liu Bei took advantage of the situation, it would be a slap in the dead. Perhaps the only way was to convince Liu Bei to stabilize Liu Bei. However, what should we use to convince Liu Bei? Should we take the initiative to give up the Henan Yin?

Pang Yuan looked at Lu Bu staring at Henan Yin and sighed slightly: "The general must have seen it too. If it really reaches that point, it is necessary to give up Henan Yin."

"But"

"General. There is an old saying that "the loss of the east corner is the harvest of the Sangyu, and Henan Yin has now become our prominent part. This is an indisputable fact. If Liu Bei does not take action, there will be basically no problem with Yin and Hongnong County in Henan. But once Liu Bei takes action, it will be impossible to maintain the two counties in the Gongtai and Gaolan."

"Yes, where is Sangyu that Ke Fuqing said?"

"Jibei, Mount Tai, Lujun, and even Peiguo."

"Is this really OK?"

"Why not? General forgot, do you still have a trump card in your hand?"

"Trust your trump card? Han Sui?"

"Yes, Han Sui, let Han Sui attack Jizhou with all his might, and allow all the lands he occupied to be his jurisdiction!"

"ah?!"

"How can this be done?"

"Why can't this be done?"

"But, isn't this just changing Jizhou to a master?"

"Yes, it's just a weaker owner, haha."

"So that's it!" Lu Bu suddenly realized, and a look of admiration and envy appeared on his face.

"Not only that, Han Sui has a bad relationship with Fang Zhiwen, and Han Sui has no good relationship with Gongsun Zan, and what's worse is that his relationship with the Chang'an court is even worse. Therefore, Han Sui may rely more on us and the court, otherwise he will become a rebel!"

"Mire! Wonderful strategy, wonderful strategy! With the revival of celebration, the world will be at peace!"

"The general praised it. This matter was not something that subordinates thought of, but Jiang Yong's suggestion."

"Jiang Yong? Zhang Liang's military advisor?"

"right!"

"What a pity, the pearl has been cast in secret!"

"Haha, everyone has their own ambitions."

"Then, can't we strive to prevent Liu Bei from repeating it? Wouldn't that be more beneficial!"

"I'm afraid not. Liu Bei doesn't want to see our army continue to grow. He will inevitably take action. The purpose is to weaken our army, and even attack our army and destroy it, and to force the emperor to kill the emperor."

Lu Bu was stunned for a while and sighed: "The traitor seems loyal! This person's heart is really unpredictable."

"Haha, it's not unpredictable at all. People seek profit and take righteousness as profit. People say that it is loyalty and righteousness, and profit as profit as profit is villains. In fact, most of us are just swaying between righteousness and profit!"

Lu Bu was solemn and Su Rong thought for a while and said, "Fuqing is right. Everyone wants to have both righteousness and profit, but most people have to make profits. People must live better and make their relatives live better. It is impossible not to make profits. Zhiwen often says this and regards himself as a real villain. He never thought that it was consistent with Fuqing."

Pang Yuan smiled and shook his head in an unknown way

"General, you're off topic."

"Haha, yes, it's off topic, so how should we deal with this Uncle Liu?"

"When he jumps out, he will be able to distinguish the camp in the future, so it will be difficult to deal with him."

"That's right! It's just the people of Yin in Henan"

"Haha, even if the general quietly transfers the people, he said that he was recruiting the people to enrich them to the front line to build a city fortress!"

"Okay! Just do it!" (To be continued...)
