Chapter 523 Sun Quan mobilized tens of thousands of troops to attack Zhang Liao
Hao Meng reached out to touch Lu Bu's forehead to confirm whether the latter had a fever, but Lu Bu slapped him away.
"Brother, look who I am? Do you still recognize me?"
Hao Meng didn't give up and put his head in front of Lu Bu again.
"You two, get out of here. I'm fine and I'm in good spirits."
Zang Ba said in surprise: "Brother, why are you talking nonsense?
If we don't do anything, no one will definitely deliver the heads of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi. "
"Go away, you two are stupid and can't understand my magical tricks."
Then, Lu Bu turned to look at everyone again.
"Can you understand what I'm thinking?"
"Uh?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked at Lu Bu innocently.
Zang Ba and Hao Meng couldn't understand it because they were stupid, but they couldn't understand it either.
Everyone hesitated for a while and then bowed.
"This subordinate is stupid and does not understand the Lord's intention."
"Oh, this..."
Lu Bu felt happy and energetic. He raised his sleeves and wanted to brag to everyone and tell Guo Jia what he thought.
But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly stopped.
Historically, Guo Jia speculated that Liaodong would kill Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi because they were afraid of Cao Cao.
But now that history has undergone tremendous changes, even the head of Liaodong is still Gongsun Du. It is not certain whether he will still follow Guo Jia's ideas.
Everything is unknown.
No, you can't speak too eloquently, otherwise you will be slapped in the face and affect your image later.
Lu Bu raised his hand and touched his nose, pretending to be mysterious and said, "You will find out in the future."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, but did not dare to question Lu Bu, so they could not help but talk quietly in private.
Zang Ba: "I must accompany my eldest brother to relax in the past few days. He is under too much pressure and has started to think wildly."
"Yes, we need to make sure that brother sleeps. It is said that scientific sleep is more than eight hours. People who often stay up late can easily become delusional."
Hao Meng nodded with deep understanding.
Others also speculated randomly, but they did not believe that the heads of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi could be sent.
A few days later, an urgent message came from the south, and everyone began to discuss when to return to Yanzhou.
The scout was sweating profusely and said hurriedly: "My lord, there is an urgent matter from Lujiang. Sun Quan took advantage of my lord to sweep the north and raised [-] troops to capture Lujiang."
As the scout finished speaking, the hall instantly heard the sound of indignation.
"Sun Quan, a naughty boy, dares to cause trouble and seek death."
"Soochow has gone through three generations and cannot be underestimated. We should return to Yanzhou quickly and prepare to support Lujiang!"
"That's right, Lujiang guard Zhang Liao didn't leave many troops at all in order to support us in conquering the four northern states. He is very dangerous now."
Even Guo Jia frowned, took a step forward, and said solemnly: "My lord, if we go back to Yanzhou, we will definitely not be able to wait for Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi to be killed; but if we don't return to rescue, there may be changes in the south.
Whichever of the two evils is the lesser, let's rush south to support Zhang Liao. "
He judged that the reason why Gongsun Du killed Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi was all because of a delicate balance.
Only when Lu Bu had the ability and conditions to threaten Gongsun Du and did not attack him, Gongsun Du would kill Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi out of fear of Lu Bu.
If Gongsun Du learns that Lu Bu is leading his army south, I'm afraid Gongsun Du will want to rely on the prestige of the two Yuans to bring more benefits to himself.
In everyone's eyes, Lu Bu must return to Yanzhou to rescue Zhang Liao.
In Guo Jia's eyes, Lu Bu was riding a tiger and was in a dilemma.
"Ugh!"
Guo Jia sighed lowly. Being a monarch can naturally enjoy glory and wealth, but he always has to make such embarrassing decisions.
If you want to eliminate Er Yuan in the future, it will naturally cost more.
This is also impossible.
"No, continue waiting in Yizhou."
Just when everyone thought Lu Bu would accept his fate, he smiled nonchalantly and didn't take it seriously.
"Master, think twice?"
Hearing this, Guo Jia and others were startled and shouted hurriedly.
"Compared to his brother Sun Ce, Sun Quan's ambitions are no less small. We can't be careless."
"We still have a chance to eliminate Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi. If Sun Quan wins Lujiang, he will have a springboard to attack the north, and the impact will be significant."
Lu Bu leaned on his seat and thought for a while. He couldn't explain Zhang Shiwan's story to everyone, so he could only comfort him patiently.
"Zhang Liao is very capable, and he has a way of dealing with the rats of Soochow. This is why I previously transferred Zhang Liao to resist Soochow."
Guo Jia couldn't understand it at all. He was afraid that Lu Bu was angry, so he raised his finger to explain to the latter.
"My lord, please listen to my calculations. The defenders of Lujiang at this time are only 1000 or [-]. Excluding the necessary defenders, the number of troops that Zhang Liao can freely arrange is not [-], but only [-] at most."
"Okay! Eight hundred versus one hundred thousand, just right."
Unexpectedly, Lu Bu became even more excited after hearing Guo Jia's calculations and found that everything was correct.
"Brother, do you plan to let Brother Wenyuan lead 800 troops to deal with Sun Quan's 10 men?"
Even Gao Shun, who is known as a tough guy, scratched his head after hearing this.
Zhao Yun shook his head repeatedly: "My lord, you previously led more than 1000 troops and defeated Yuan Shu's army of hundreds of thousands. Is it possible that Zhang Liao can be as powerful as my lord?"
"Everyone has their own merits, I don't worry about Wenyuan, just wait for the good news!"
Lu Bu waved his hands and finally made the decision. Everyone frowned, wondering what kind of medicine Lu Bu was selling?
In order not to interfere with Zhang Liao's deal with Sun Quan, Lu Bu did not send any soldiers, but only sent someone to deliver a message.
"The affairs in the South are all decided by the public, and I strongly support it."
When a few words were passed to Zhang Liao, everyone in the tent was speechless. Except for Zhang Liao himself, everyone's hearts instantly became cold.
Everyone was thinking in horror: "Did Lu Bu just ignore them?"
But Zhang Liao let out a long breath, his hand holding the letter couldn't help trembling, and tears filled his eyes.
Impressed!
Because the general can gain such trust from the king, what else is there to worry about?
This is not only trust in personality, but also trust in ability.
In the past few years, Lu Bu's campaigns in the east and west have pacified half of the world, but Zhang Liao has always been a feudal official, stationed in the existing territory.
Although he was grateful to Lu Bu for his regard for him, he also often yearned to fight on the battlefield and display his abilities.
Now that he finally had this golden opportunity, how could Zhang Liao not be happy?
"Good, good, good!"
Zhang Liao shouted excitedly, stood up and bowed to the north one after another.
"Thank you for your trust, brother. I, Zhang Wenyuan, will not be a human unless I repel Sun Quan's son."
However, all the troops looked left and right, looking at Zhang Liao with strange eyes. After the tent was quiet for a moment, everyone murmured.
"General, compared with Sun Quan, our military strength is very different. I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat him!"
"That's right. It's better to write to the lord for help again. Xiao Yishuo explained clearly that it's not that we are cowardly, but that the enemy is really too strong."
