Chapter 1152: Besieging Lu Bu and Liu Bei Hesitating
Just as Pang Yuan analyzed to Lu Bu, the Iron Army indeed submitted an application to Pang Yuan to evacuate the city of Yewang and other cities in the west, and demolished all the Star City. The purpose was naturally to attract Gongsun Zan to fight.
Then Huangfu Song took advantage of Gongsun Zan's journey south and successfully passed the Fen River, established a stronghold on the east bank of the Fen River, and then headed south along the Fen River, which seemed to mean crossing the Yellow River.
Then, Hua Xiong naturally took action. Hua Xiong, who just wanted to repeat the last battle of Agriculture, was stunned by Gao Lan's counter-attack war. In terms of this, Hua Xiong's logistics reserves in the wild must not be compared with Gao Lan in the city. Therefore, the result of cutting off logistics support from each other is that Hua Xiong must be unlucky first.
As a result, in order to compete for control of the logistics line, Hua Xiong had to put the battlefield back to the west of Hongnong and Lingbao. Gao Lan's cavalry always avoided Hua Xiong, and Hua Xiong was unwilling to use cavalry to attack the city. The final way of war was reflected in the attacks between players of the two camps.
Lu Bu was amazed at the series of battle reports. These situations seemed to be completely carried out according to Pang Yuan's design, as if all the events were being manipulated by Pang Yuan.
However, what brought Lu Bu was not only amazed and happy, but also more worries. Since Pang Yuan had speculated that Gongsun Zan and Sima Fang's behavior was so accurate, then Liu Bei's argument was obviously not wrong. Lu Bu thought he was worried and accelerated the pace of recruiting civil servants.
Liu Bei, who was worried by Lu Bu, seen through by Pang Yuan, was remembered by Sima Fang, and was plotted by Cao Cao, was indeed wandering at the intersection at this moment. Behind the seemingly simple option, there were too many concerns, especially for Liu Bei, a person with heavy hearts.
"The rumor of lord. Dingtao is probably not groundless. Moreover, it is not important whether the lord believes it or not. The key is whether the emperor believes it or not, or whether this rumor comes out of the palace, or Lu Bu, it is hard to say whether Pang Yuan arranged it. The purpose is to put the rope around the lord's neck and even completely deprive the lord of his power."
"Is this Gongyou a little alarmist?" Liu Bei asked with a bitter face and hesitation.
"Strange words? Then my subordinates dare to ask the lord, if the emperor issued an edict to transfer the lord into the court to preside over the affairs, what should the lord do?"
Sun Qian was a little excited because this issue was discussed for the third time. Liu Bei hesitated to leave the matter in the first two times, but now the strategic situation has become increasingly tense. If it is delayed, the great opportunity will be missed. Could it be that he watched Sili be divided up by others and inaction?
"It's not a bad idea. Do your best to do your best to the country and be anywhere!"
"Brother! Isn't this a trap? My brother is dedicated to doing his best for the country, but that emperor is young."
"Yi De is careful with his words!"
"Uh, but that emperor may not believe the elder brother. There are also Lu Bu and Wang Yun and other treacherous people who are colluding with each other. If the elder brother enters the court and becomes an official, he will definitely be harmed by these traitors. At that time, who will support the Han Dynasty's country, big brother?"
Zhang Fei looked indignant on his face. I don’t know if he was acting or he was really involved in the show. He could say such a thing so glamorously that these three brothers can be said to be all characters who have reached a certain level.
Zhuge Jin smiled secretly with his lips and said to Liu Bei who was frowning with his eyebrows: "Lord, the third general said very well. It is certainly true that loyalty to the emperor is true, but it also depends on the specific situation. For example, if the emperor's edict today represents the will of the emperor, he will only fall into the trap of the traitor. Now the great situation that the lord has set, the light of hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty may disappear. Does the lord want such a result?"
"But, but that's just a rumor. If we raise an army to attack Lu Bu just because of this rumor, wouldn't it be a real person?"
"Lord, we did not attack Lu Bu because of this rumor, but because Lu Bu held the emperor hostage and subverted the Han Dynasty. Now we are punishing the people and punishing the world. As long as we defeat Lu Bu, the lord insists on assisting the emperor in reviving the Han Dynasty, so that all the people in the world can understand the lord's painstaking efforts."
Sun Gan interrupted again and persuaded Zhang Fei nodded. Liu Bei was still hesitant and looked at Chen Zhen and Jian Yong who had not spoken.
Jian Yong smiled and said, "Lord, why not look at it the other way around. If the lord respects the emperor's edict, what should he do now?"
"This is naturally a fight to attack Cao Cao."
"But, the emperor will not issue an edict?"
Liu Bei was also confused: "Yes, why not issue an edict?"
"Because the emperor does not trust the lord, he is too lazy to even issue an edict."
Liu Bei was stunned, then his face was depressed and said in great disappointment: "I didn't expect that Liu Bei was loyal. At this time, even the emperor did not trust me. This is really true."
At the end, Liu Bei's tone was sluggish and he couldn't help but wipe away tears.
"Brother, that shitty son is really unable to support the wall. Why don't we go against it!"
"Nonsense! Why are he going against him? No matter how unworthy he is, he is still my nephew. How could I forget the importance of the late emperor entrusting his orphans? If I say this again, don't blame the elder brother for disregarding his brotherhood!"
"Uh, I'm just talking fast for a while, don't blame me, brother!"
"Third brother, even if he is not kind, I cannot be unrighteous. Besides, now that China and foreign countries are closed, it may be possible that these things will be manipulated by others."
"That's true, brother, then we'll go to Dingtao to ask the emperor in person and find out soon!"
"How to go?"
"Of course I've called it, so I'll clear the lord's side! Yes, everyone?"
"That's right!" Chen Zhen suddenly said, and stopped speaking, but his attitude was already very clear.
.
Tian Feng slowly put down the information summary in his hand, looked up at the side of the desk, looked at Xiangxiang and Tian Zhi with a bright look, and asked with a smile: "Miss, Zhier, do you already have an opinion?"
"Well! Tian Zhi and I think that Liu Bei will definitely take action. The target should be Henan Yin. As for Hongnong's belonging, it depends on Sima Fang's final thought."
"What will Sima Fang want in the end?"
"Uh, haven't thought about it yet."
"Father, Sima Fang should eventually want the princes of Guandong to continue to fight. Moreover, if Liu Bei attacked Lu Bu, he would threaten to respect the emperor of Chang'an. This edict Sima Fang would definitely be delivered to Liu Bei at the appropriate time. If this happens, Liu Bei will become the prince of Sima Fang in the same camp, so it should be feasible for both sides to negotiate and divide Hongnong."
Tian Feng nodded and asked again: "Why do you think Liu Bei will definitely take action?"
"My brother said that Liu Bei is just a false benevolence and righteousness. Will a false benevolence and righteous guy not be moved by the huge benefits in front of him? I think it is definitely not."
Tian Zhi then added: "Also, Lu Bu's strength is definitely not what Liu Bei wants to see. Regardless of whether the rumors about Dingtao are true or not, Liu Bei will never dare or give up the power in his hand. In this way, his breakup with the Dingtao court will become inevitable unless the emperor is controlled by him and it is almost the same to let him exchange his status with Lu Bu."
"To put it bluntly, it's Liu Bei's ambition, is it?"
"And the ambitions of his subordinates!" Xiangxiang added.
Tian Feng smiled and looked at the two girls, expressing his agreement with this view: "So, for the next question, how should Lu Bu deal with the current situation of being surrounded by enemies?"
"It's simple. Give up Sili and focus on defending Yanzhou. Sili let Sima Fang, Huangfu Song, Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei separate. What Lu Bu needs to do is to focus on defeating Yuan Shao and Cao Cao!"
"It's not an easy thing to defeat Yuan Shao and Cao Cao!"
"Isn't Han Sui still there?" Tian Zhi said with his eyes blinking.
"Haha. Not bad, not bad! I can see this step! So, what should we do for the last question?"
"Just just sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. It would be best if they can completely destroy Yanzhou and Jizhou, and we can also accept a lot of refugees!"
Xiangxiang said with a little excitement, and Tian Zhi nodded vigorously.
"Why don't you help Yuan Shao?"
"Yuan Shao? He and us are just two people on the line. The stubborn aristocratic races are incompatible with Youzhou's policies. So it would be better to completely defeat the big net woven by the old aristocratic races. Why do we help them?"
Tian Zhi said naturally. Tian Feng smiled with relief when he heard this, stroked his beard and said, "You two have grown up! But the war is not something that can be accomplished by pointing fingers on the map. A decision between you two may be related to the fate of millions of people. Are you mentally prepared?"
"Of course, we also have the happiness and interests of millions of people behind us, so there is nothing wrong with measuring this."
Tian Feng smiled without commenting: "Maybe, you can enjoy this for yourself in the future. I will sign and discuss your analysis and plans at the meeting, but it needs to be revised slightly."
"Ah? Where?"
"It is not necessary to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, but one of the options. When necessary, you can take the initiative to go south to protect the people!"
"Protect the people?" Xiangxiang and Tian Zhi looked at each other, and the two felt enlightened.
"Yes, protect the people!"
Seeing the two girls leaving happily, Tian Feng picked up another official document, read it carefully, and wrote on it: "The horse farm planning is basically feasible, the plan for war horse replacement is approved, and the horse harness will be applied separately. In addition, he reported to the Kakuang Department and the Ministry of Commerce, and suggested that they cooperate with Ma Teng, strengthen cooperation, unify the market price of war horses, and gradually increase the price of war horses to achieve the effect of controlling the form and scale of war war."
