"Please tell the King of Chu that I know how to do it!"

The envoy was happy and understood that the Tongshu Hou had defected to Lu Bu.

At the same time, Youzhou Yuyang.

Yuan Xi also met the envoy sent by Lu Bu.

Although the three brothers are now united, Youzhou is Yuan Xi's territory, so Yuan Xi is naturally the leader.

Seeing the pile of gold bars in front of you, the three brothers all shone with their eyes.

After shining, Yuan Xi said in a true voice: "I have seen the sincerity of the King of Chu. I don't know what the King of Chu wants?"

The envoy smiled and said, "It's very simple. The prince wants to form an alliance with the general. The prince said that he only takes Bingzhou. As long as the Yuan family does not invade Bingzhou, the prince will never invade Youzhou. Moreover, a large amount of coal is exported to Youzhou every year, and the price is absolutely fair. There is a large ship docking on the coast, with thousands of stones of coal inside, which is also a gift from the prince to the three generals."

Wow!

The three brothers were all surprised. Lu Bu gave both gold and coal, and his sincerity was absolutely sufficient!

Coal, especially, is simply something that everyone can see.

It's too cold in the north, and in winter, I just dare not go out.

If you want to log wood to keep warm, it is also a variety of difficulties.

If we can reach a commercial cooperation with Lu Bu and have coal, Youzhou will not be afraid of the cold in winter.

After being excited, Yuan Xi asked: "It is impossible to form an alliance. I wonder what the King of Chu wants this general to do?"

The envoy said: "It's nothing. Cao Cao is a traitor, and the whole world will fight against him. The prince only hopes that after Cao Cao's troops are released, the general can lead troops to conquer Jizhou. If the general can capture Jizhou, the prince will never conquer Jizhou. Lu and Yuan still have a friendly alliance."

As soon as this sentence was spoken, the three brothers of Yuan understood Lu Bu’s intention.

Yuan Tan snorted coldly: "Don't say it so high-sounding. Lu Bu just wanted us to restrain Cao Cao's troops!"

The messenger coughed dryly and said directly: "That's true, then I wonder how the three generals view the alliance?"

The three brothers couldn't help but send an envoy to discuss.

What helped the three brothers to be together was naturally the decline of Yuan and was beaten by Lu Bu and Cao Cao.

But no matter how much you hate, all hatred will be suppressed in the face of interests.

Yuan Shang said: "Bingzhou is a desolate place, and it is always supplied by Jizhou. The truly rich place is Jizhou. Cao Cao moved his population to Jizhou. Now Jizhou has a population of nearly 6 million, which is the largest in the world. As long as we obtain Jizhou, we still have a day to compete for power."

Yuan Xi nodded. Youzhou was short of food, but as long as there was a place in Jizhou, it could be solved.

Although I hate Lu Bu, the one I hate the most is Cao Cao.

If Cao Cao hadn't attacked, how could the Yuan family's foundation be so down?

No matter how the three brothers fight, it will be an internal struggle.

When facing foreign enemies, of course they will be unanimous to the outside world.

Yuan Tan also said: "Jizhou is the foundation of my Yuan family. Now if we want to attack, we must also take Jizhou. To take Jizhou, the best time is to take advantage of Cao Cao's troops. In this way, forming an alliance with Lu Bu is the best strategy."

The three brothers agreed and soon reached an alliance and peace agreement.

Only after they acquire Jizhou will they have the opportunity to continue to compete with Lu Bu for power.

So, it is of course the best thing to do now that Lu Bu takes the initiative to join the alliance.

After receiving the news, Lu Bu couldn't help but be happy. In this way, he was stable in Bingzhou.

As long as Cao Cao attacks, he will face a sneak attack from Yuan's army behind him.

In this way, Cao Cao will be difficult to deal with from beginning to end, and will be an embarrassing situation.

When the Lu Yuan alliance was formed, Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh.

This is a chaotic era. All the princes can fight against today and tomorrow yesterday.

Everything is based on interests.

For the sake of profit and alliance, let alone materials, it will be fine even if you marry a daughter and give it to your wife.

Even a big shot like Cao Cao and Sun Quan cannot escape such a fate.

In order to stabilize Liu Xie, Cao Cao married three daughters.

In order to obtain an alliance with Liu Bei, Sun Quan married a girl.

Even Cao Cao and Sun Quan were like this, let alone other princes.

Even if Lu Bu wanted to get Yuan Shu's support, he would marry his daughter.

But, I regretted it later and recovered it.

History has changed now, but this style has not changed.

At the beginning, Cao Cao was in danger, so in order to get help from Lu Bu, he also married three daughters.

It’s just that Sun Quan, who doesn’t know what kind of ending he will face in the future.

Lu Bu smiled, stopped thinking about it, and kept moving forward.

Lu Ling conquered the city and captured the village, while he took over the city in the rear and rectified variously.

The siege speed even exceeded Lu Bu's expectations.

Lu Bu did not expect that the resistance along the way was very small, and basically surrendered.

Yes, the surrenderists account for more than 80%.

First, they just surrendered to Cao Cao, and they were already defeated.

Cao Cao is a wolf, and Lu Bu is a tiger, so what if he throws it again?

Secondly, Lu Bu's conditions were so good. Not to mention that the people did not have to pay land tax and capitol tax, those who served in the army would have high military pay from then on.

If the people have no food to eat, they will receive funding first.

Such a temptation, who is so fucked and has nothing to do and insists on fighting against Lu Bu.

So what if the general doesn't rebel? When all the soldiers rebel, what can the general do?

Look, look at how awesome Lu Bujun is. In such a cold weather, everyone is dressed warmly. Look at them, who is shivering with coldness?

Therefore, surrender early and you can enter the house early to warm up.

In less than a month, Huang Zhong's army all the way to attack Taiyuan County, the capital of Bingzhou.

As long as you take Taiyuan, Lu Bu can take over the entire Bingzhou within one winter.

Then the military and government affairs were rectified, and the Bingzhou was stable.

Due to the surrender of the Duke of Tongshi, Shangdang County was soon taken down by Lu Bu.

Lu Ling advanced all the way, but was stopped by Cao's army in Leping County.

The defender of the city is Cao Cao and Cao Ren.

The ten thousand army defended Leping City, which made Lu Ling very helpless.

Because Cao Ren directly blocked the city gate with stones, the cannon could not be opened.

I think Cao Ren has learned the information that Lu Jun used cannons to bombard the city gate.

In this way, if you want to attack the city, you can only climb the city and attack.

Although there are cannons, their reserves are limited, so they don’t just want to hit them. Every time they shoot, it’s money.

Lu Ling ordered the construction of siege equipment such as cloud ladders and prepared to take a hard attack.

After five days, Lu Ling finally prepared a group of siege equipment.

At the same time, 20,000 reinforcements sent by Lu Bu also arrived.

Lu Ling is full of confidence when 30,000 to 10,000.

These recruits have matured after a period of baptism.

Charging into battle is no longer a problem.

Soon, the city was officially siege.

The messenger rushed forward again: "Cao Ren, my general recognizes you as a general and cannot bear to kill you. If you surrender quickly, you will be able to avoid death!"

Lu Ling was defeated all the way, so Cao Ren would naturally not be too slighted in underestimation.

Cao Ren said coldly: "Don't be clamoring, I will never surrender! Come and shoot me an arrow!"

As soon as the words fell, dense arrows shot down the city.

How can the messenger not be scared and retreat quickly.

However, the arrows were dense, and the message soldiers were not able to retreat at all and were quickly shot off the horse.

If it weren't for heavy armor protection, I'd be shot to death on the spot.

Fortunately, the messenger was only slightly injured, and the horses died.

But this angered Lu Ling, and Lu Ling immediately called out: "Siege the city!"
Chapter completed!
