Chapter 86 The Battle of Jizhou

Liu Chong, who returned to the mansion, couldn't wait to start practicing, but when he looked at the bamboo slips again, he felt that he could get addicted to it at first glance when he looked at the original bamboo slips in the temporary palace. He only felt that the content recorded on the bamboo slips was obscure and difficult to understand. Although he could practice, it was more than the time difference in the palace before.

But I didn't know that the bamboo slip that Lu Bu gave Liu Xie was created with Taoist Mu Yun using Qi training techniques. It depicts a formation that can help people concentrate. The text was also engraved by Lu Bu himself. With some of Lu Bu's insights on Qi training techniques, looking at the bamboo slips was equivalent to Lu Bu, a teacher who had reached the real fairyland, who led them to understand, but now Liu Chong himself needs to understand the difference. The difference is not a small part.

Liu Chong studied for a long time before he found a feeling of being in the palace, but after experiencing the feeling that he could unconsciously enter the state of Qi training through understanding. Now, this feeling of watching for a long time and then trying to practice Qi, the progress speed is even more like a snail crawling, which makes Liu Chong even more impatient.

"There is something wrong with the bamboo slip!" After three consecutive qi training interruptions, Liu Chong finally realized this problem. If nothing unexpected happens, the bamboo slip in Liu Xie's hand is a treasure, and he could only sigh helplessly. It is difficult for him to speak out from Liu Xie, but it seems even more impossible to get it from Lu Bu...

...

Lu Bu naturally didn't know what Liu Chong was planning. In the following days, Lu Bu, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fell into a strange calm. Cao Cao lost the emperor and his reputation was greatly reduced. Even under his rule, many people left and went to Xuzhou to join the court. Cao Cao had to stabilize the situation.

Lu Bu is now thinking about making a big splash. Before the Heavenly Court or Buddhism comes to tell him the rules, he will swallow Jiangdong in one go and enjoy the pleasure of cheating. He has recently used the water droplets to train the water army in Neihu, but unfortunately no one under the tent is suitable for water battles, so he needs to find it.

As for Yuan Shao, Chen Gong, who is now Lu Bu's side, is lobbying in Jizhou, and Cao Cao also sent Chen Qun to lobby. The two of them not only went to see Yuan Shao every now and then, but also actively walked around Jizhou. Chen Qun secretly grabbed Guo Tu and other old friends in Yingchuan, so Chen Gong went to Tian Feng and Ju Shu to explain the righteousness. Now Cao Cao is the best and most necessary to fight. Lu Bu is willing to follow Yuan Shao's leader, and on the day he defeated Cao Cao, Lu Bu will not only present the emperor, but also willing to go to Jizhou to fight for Yuan Shao in person.

Cao Cao is making connections. Recalling the past, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao can be regarded as childhood friends. Moreover, Lu Bu is now holding the emperor, so he must have ulterior motives. He must destroy Lu Bu before Lu Bu uses the name of the emperor to command the princes.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and Yuan Shao was also in a dilemma. Yu privately said that he did not want to fight with his former friends, but Yu Gong and Chen Gong said it well. As for today, Cao Cao was the biggest force outside Yuan Shao. Although Lu Bu defeated Cao Cao not long ago, Xuzhou suffered a series of disasters. If today when he arrived in Xuzhou, Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, was also ready to move, and was willing to support Yuan Shao, and the threat to Yuan Shao was absolutely the least.

Nowadays, the strength of the three parties is that unless Yuan Shao and Cao Cao tie, Lu Bu will not have a chance.

A draw with Cao Cao? How is that possible?

This may have been directly ruled out by Yuan Shao. Cao Cao has just suffered a setback in Xuzhou and lost his emperor again. The morale of the army and the people are unstable. In this case, if Yuan Shao still cannot beat Cao Cao, he would be shameless to see others.

"Lord, crossing the river to attack Cao at this time is a rare opportunity, so don't hesitate!" In Yecheng, in the general's mansion, Xu You once again looked at Yuan Shao and Chen Ming. Chen Gong ran around for the sake of alliance these days, and Xu You also felt that the best time to attack Cao Cao at this time. If this battle can be won, even if Lu Bu does not return to the emperor, Yuan Shao has already occupied half of the country, and the other princes may not be their opponents even if they are united, how dare Lu Bu not return?

"Ziyuan said it is indeed good, but did Ziyuan think about what if Lu Bu took advantage of our army's battle with Cao's army and threatened our army from the flanks?" Feng Ji asked back: "Although Lu Bu has a grudge with Cao Cao, you and I should know that this kind of world dispute is the most irrelevant. Although there is grudge between Cao and Lu, if our army approaches, I can assert that Lu Bu will join forces with Cao Cao!"

"So what?" Xu You retorted: "Cao Cao was frustrated and lost the emperor again. At this moment, he must be in panic. Although Lu Bu retreated to Cao Cao, he used a trick to rob the emperor. However, Xuzhou was the place where four battles were fought. Even if Lu Bu was brave and Han Xin's talent, he could not change the tired appearance of Xuzhou. Even if he and Cao Cao joined forces, how many troops can the two of them send? On the contrary, our army, newly defeated Gongsun, has a strong morale, and the land of Hebei, has a large amount of money and grain, and has a large population. With the order of the lord, he can mobilize millions of people to go south!"

As he said that, Xu You quickly walked to the huge map: "However, from the shore of the Bohai Sea to the right of Taihang, our army now spans thousands of miles away. It is difficult to concentrate the troops south. It is the biggest difficulty for our army. You thought that the senior officials could be ordered to leave Huguan and attack Henoi with our main force. Then, a brigade of partial troops crossed the river and entered Luoyang to station troops here. In addition, Qingzhou and Puyang encircled the Central Plains at the same time. This deployment would take half a year just to dispatch. Even if the deployment starts at this time, it would take half a year for these troops to arrive. Lord, this may not be a good opportunity at this time, but will there be no fighter in half a year?"

"Ziyuan said it was quite light, but do you know how much money and food it costs to dispatch millions of troops? If the war has not started half a year later, the money and food it takes to dispatch back and forth can be offset by the taxes of these four states in one year!" Guo Tu sneered.

"If you only know how to calculate these small profits like you, when will the lord wipe out the world?" Xu You said angrily.

"Brother Ziyuan is really a big profit. No wonder he indulges his clan members to be greedy but ignore them." Feng Ji sneered on the side.

"You... a villain, you are so nonsense!" Xu You stared at Feng Ji with a red face, and his voice that had been dull also fluctuated.

"Enough! Isn't it embarrassing enough!?" Yuan Shao saw his subordinates starting to expose each other's shortcomings, and his face suddenly looked ugly. Chen Qun was still in the hall. If he continues to argue, isn't that the one who lost him?

Feng Ji and Xu You immediately stopped talking, but the smell of gunpowder in the air made the atmosphere more depressing.

"It makes Changwen laugh." Yuan Shao looked at Chen Qun sitting in the guest room and smiled bitterly: "This matter is of great importance, and it is not too late to discuss it later. Are Changwen still used to staying there these days?"

"Thank you for your care. Qun came to Yecheng this time to explain to our Lord. Our Lord has always followed the general's leader. It must be a false war between the two families. When we come here, our Lord also specifically instructed that the land in Hanoi should belong to Jizhou. Our Lord is now collecting defense lines in various places to avoid Lu Bu coming. The previous governance of the general was beyond the courtesy, so naturally he should return to the general's power. As for the alliance, Qun naturally obeyed the arrangements of the general." Chen Qun smiled and bowed.

"I will discuss this today's matter first. You should be tired, so let's go back and rest." Yuan Shao waved his hand and stood up first, turning around and leaving amid the respectful voices of everyone.

"Goodbye!" Chen Qun also stood up, nodded to Guo Tu first, then bowed to everyone, and turned around and left.

"Yuantu, Gongze!" Xu You looked at the two of them and frowned: "The two of you have slandered justice because of your own selfishness. Have you ever thought about the kindness of your lord?"

"Zi Yuan said so grandly. Now the lord is dominating the four states and has a million people. All the princes in the world dare to fight with him. At this time, whether they attack Cao Cao first or Lu Bu first, there is actually no big difference. However, Brother Zi Yuan, I heard that he has had a lot of contact with Chen Gongtai recently. Is it because of his personal gain?" Feng Ji asked with a smile.

"Don't compare me with you!" Xu You snorted coldly and left with his sleeves.

After leaving the main hall, he saw Chen Gong was already waiting in the yard. When he saw Xu You, he hurriedly stepped forward and smiled, "Brother Ziyuan, you are about to find you."

"There is no need to say much about the public service. You know the importance of the matter. It is more beneficial to form an alliance with Mr. Wen. You will fight for it. I just hope that if things are done, Mr. Wen will not let down my master's trust. It is not nice to bear the reputation of the alliance." Xu You was angry in his heart, and when he saw Chen Gong, he just snorted coldly.

"That's natural." Chen Gong nodded and smiled: "The palace found a good winery in Yecheng Market today, which was built by famous scholar Yan Song. He was about to invite Ziyuan and a group of noble men to go..."

"Oh..." Xu You prefect stopped Chen Gong's words and shook his head, "I won't go to this winery anymore, so as not to be said to be faked for personal gain."

At the end, I looked at Feng Ji and Guo Tu who came out later.

"Good and evil are in the heart, not in the form." Feng Ji smiled calmly and said, "Brother Gongtai, but I don't know which famous scholars have been invited? Can you go with me?"

"It's true, there are Yuan Hao, Gong and two Gaoxians." Chen Gong said with a smile.

When Feng Ji heard that it was Tian Feng and Ju Su, Feng Ji suddenly lost interest. There were many factions under Yuan Shao, but the biggest factions were the Yingchuan Sect and Jizhou Sect. The three of them were still Yingchuan scholars. Tian Feng and Ju Su were the hopes of famous scholars in Jizhou and were not in harmony. If the banquet they attended was not necessary, Feng Ji and Guo Tu would usually not go to.

"Since that's the case, I'll say goodbye first." Chen Gong bowed to the three of them and then turned around and left.

"Brother Ziyuan, do you know why Tian Feng and Ju Su didn't say a word these days?" Feng Ji sneered and looked at Xu You, shook his head and said, "If you are the pioneers for them, I will be happy if it is me!"

"Xu only conspires for the lord, only distinguishes right from wrong. Just like you, just fight for power but ignores the general trend, is the root of cholera!"

"I don't plan to do each other, so I'll say goodbye!" Feng Ji snorted coldly, stopped debating with Xu You anymore, turned around and left. Xu You also snorted coldly, leaving by himself except for the general's mansion.
