Chapter 367 Understanding Yuan Shao’s Difficulties
Chapter 367 Understanding Yuan Shao’s Difficulties
Looking at Cao Ang's retreating back, Cao Cao was stunned for a long time. It was not until Li Dian approved a piece of clothing for him that he sighed slightly.
Strangely, a cheerful smile appeared on his face again, and he murmured to himself.
"Haha, you are worthy of being mine. You really have the backbone and no shame."
Of course, Lu Bu didn't really believe in Cao Ang unconditionally. Only a fool would unconditionally believe in the enemy who had just surrendered.
He has a top intelligence agency like Suzaku Hall.
Within half an hour, the two spies were in front of Lu Bu, vividly re-enacting the conversation between Cao Cao and his son.
Lu Bu first nodded slightly with satisfaction at Cao Ang's loyalty, and then he praised Cao Cao's open-mindedness.
"Historically, Cao Ah Man's success was not due to luck. With his kind of ambition, ordinary people cannot match it."
Of course, Lu Bu has a bigger heart because he doesn't care at all.
What he cares more about is eating, drinking and having fun.
After Lu Bu successfully occupied Yanzhou, the whole world was shocked, and everyone began to take this reckless man seriously.
Previously, many people had a prejudice against Lu Bu, thinking that he was brave and foolhardy.
Naturally, they concluded that Lu Bu would not have much success. However, what everyone did not expect was that in just two or three years, he would become a leader.
Lu Bu already owned Yongzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and more than half of Yuzhou.
Becoming the second largest prince after Yuan Shao, because Yuan Shao had four states under his command.
I have to say that Yuan Shao is also very impressive. After he defeated Dong Zhuo in Luoyang, he controlled the four northern states in a few years by virtue of his status as the fourth generation and the third prince.
But this is only based on the number of states and counties. In terms of overall strength, Lu Bu should be weaker than Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
Because Yuan Shao has a very large territory and has been operating for many years, it is natural that his overall strength is strong.
Although Yuan Shu's territory was not large, it was located in a location rich in resources and a large population.
Even if a county has more people than other states, it will naturally be stronger.
Lu Bu's rapid rise and his good reputation for appointing people on merit attracted many people to join him, including his good friend Zhang Yang.
One day, Lu Bu was playing at home when someone came to report: "Zhang Yang wants to see you."
Lu Bu was excited when he heard the name Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang is his best friend, an old brother from Bingzhou.
Lu Bu had taken refuge with him many times in history, and the latter never disliked him.
Even when Cao Cao besieged Lu Bu in Xuzhou, Zhang Yang could only raise his troops to respond from afar, but he was far away and weak, so it didn't have much effect.
When two good brothers meet today, of course they have to drink and talk.
"From now on, we brothers will work together, and the world will belong to us." Lu Bu patted Zhang Yang's shoulder affectionately.
Zang Ba also chuckled and said, "Yes, you should have come to join General Lu long ago."
Zhang Yang sighed: "I'm ashamed to say that I was forced to do nothing this time. The Black Mountain Army made a lot of noise, and Yuan Shao often wanted to annex.
From now on, my brother will hang out with you, leaning against the big tree so you can enjoy the shade. "
"Damn, that's right. Our General Lu is an extraordinary person. He is the God of War who fell from the sky and came specifically to save the people of Liming."
This was originally Lu Bu's propaganda to deceive the people. After Zang Ba heard it, he believed it to be true.
Lu Bu was a little embarrassed when he said that, smiled and waved his hands: "Keep a low profile, this is a secret."
Zhang Yang was stunned.
Lu Bu continued: "From now on, you will be mine. If anyone dares to bully you, I will be the first to stop."
Hearing this, Zhang Yang gratefully poured wine for Lu Bu.
Lu Bu was very satisfied with Zhang Yang's coming to join him.
Because Zhang Yang's territory at this time was located in Shangdang County in Bingzhou.Lu Bu's promotion was like putting a nail in Yuan Shao's rear.
It will be a good springboard for attacking Yuan Shao and the Black Mountain Army in the future.
On the second day, Lu Bu summoned many counselors to discuss the next step.
Now Lu Bu is like a nouveau riche, and he has become richer. He had no shortage of generals before, and now he also has several more advisers.
Chen Gong, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and other civil servants standing at the bottom all held their heads high, confident and confident.
Lu Bu saw it and felt the beauty in his heart.
Haha, there are so many talents!
Lu Bu sat at the top with great pride, looking at the group of civil servants and generals under his command, feeling very proud in his heart.
However, it didn't take long for him to lose his complacency.
It’s really annoying to have too many advisers!
When Lu Bu just asked how to develop next, Chen Gong of course stood up and gave advice without giving in.
Guo Jia also smiled and talked about dividing the world into three parts and complying with the people's wishes; Xun Yu was not to be outdone, saying that he could accumulate grain widely and become king slowly.
The hall suddenly fell into noisy chaos.
Civil servants are generally more conceited, and no one is convinced by anyone, and everyone feels that what they say makes sense.
They cited scriptures one by one, including Confucius, Laozi, Mencius, Sun Tzu, etc., and they were all blushing and thick-necked.
Many counselors clasped their fingers and talked nonstop to Lu Bu until Lu Bu's head was spinning twice.
Lu Bu's face was confused. He no longer looked as proud as before, scratching his scalp helplessly.
He heard what everyone said was high-end, but which one should he choose?
At this moment, he suddenly thought of Yuan Shao.
At that time, Yuan Shao had so many good advisers that he didn't even know which one to choose, and he ended up in ruins.
In fact, it was not unfair to Yuan Shao for being stupid. At this time, Lu Bu realized that what his men said seemed to make sense. It can only be said that Yuan Shao was unlucky and chose the wrong answer.
Snapped!
Just when the hall was noisy, a sound of slamming on the table instantly made everyone shut up and look at Lu Bu in surprise.
"I understand, don't say anything anymore."
Seeing everyone finally looking at him, Lu Bu spoke.
Hearing this, Chen Gong's face flashed with joy: He and Lu Bu have the best relationship, so he will definitely choose his own strategy.
Guo Jia and Xun Yu also looked at Lu Bu very proudly, without any worry in their hearts.
In terms of official position and relationship with Lu Bu, the two of them knew that they were not as good as Chen Gong, but Lu Bu also respected them both.
Therefore, they also believed that Lu Bu would definitely refer to their suggestions.
"General, which suggestion do you choose?" Zang Ba asked curiously.
"Hmph, I don't choose anyone, but from everyone's strategies, I figured out a strategy of my own, which is to capture Sili in front of me first."
It's not that Lu Bu has a good strategy, it's just that since he can't tell which strategy is better, he will follow the previous historical process.
Although history has been changed a lot at this time, the general direction is still very much the same.
It's just that the history is different within the scope of Lu Bu's activities.
