Chapter [204] Hebei Layout, Killing People With A Knife
Holding Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, Lu Bu felt like he hadn't seen it for a long time.
Lu Bu was really not used to not having weapons by his side during this period of time.
If Fang Tian had painted his halberd by his side before, no matter whether he was fighting against the thirteen generals of Cao Ying, or entering the camp alone, it would be much easier.
"Strengthen, adapt to size." Lu Bu thought silently.
The familiar golden light reappeared, shrouded Fang Tian's painting halberd, and then quickly faded away. Lu didn't know that it had been strengthened successfully.
"Long~" Lu Bu said silently.
I saw that Fang Tian's painted halberd kept getting longer and longer, and the final length was fixed at just over two feet.
Lu Bu estimated that the limit length is twice as long as before.
Originally, the length of Fang Tian's painted halberd was more than one zhang, but now the generals' long weapons are almost all of this length, such as the zhangba snake spear.
"Small." Lu Bu said silently again.
I saw that Fang Tian's painted halberd began to shrink, and finally fixed at three inches in length, which was already very small.
"Heavy and light, long and short, hard to guard against, indestructible, cutting iron like mud." Lu Bu was very satisfied.
With the current attributes of Fang Tian's painting halberd, if he fights against other generals in the future, facing a Fang Tian's painting halberd that can change in length at any time, the opponent will have no way to fight at all.
Hebei, Yecheng.
Xu You was sitting in Zhen Yan's mansion, holding a letter in his hand, frowning to check the contents.
"Mr. Xu, this is a letter from the king." Zhen Yan reminded.
Seeing the displeasure on Xu You's face, Zhen Yan hurriedly said with a smile: "Recently, the war broke out and trade was cut off, but thanks to the help of Mr. Xu You, a lot of silk was smuggled out and sold at a good price. It must be doubled this month. Not a problem."
Money can turn ghosts around.
I don't know if it's possible to make ghosts grind the millstones, but it's obviously no problem to let Xu You be the second or fifth boy.
Xu You also struggled and thought it was inappropriate, but Zhen Yan gave too much.
Xu You felt a little sorry for not taking it.
"Understood." Xu You promised, and burned the letter directly in front of Zhen Yan, without leaving any clues.
As for the content of the letter, Zhen Yan didn't know, and Xu You didn't tell Zhen Yan what he meant.
Taking money to do things, since he was moved by Zhen Yan's price, then Xu You will definitely do things.
If you don't do anything with the money, then Zhen Yan can report Xu You and run away to Guanzhong.
Xu You's family has a lot of property, and Xu You will definitely not be able to explain it clearly.
As soon as Xu You left Zhen Yan's mansion, his followers came to him, "My lord, discuss matters in Taiwei's mansion"
Although Yuan Shao's official position was taken away by Lu Bu, he still claimed to be a Taiwei.
"Understood." Xu You immediately went to Yuan Shao's mansion.
After Xu You came, everyone else had already collapsed.
"I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you." Yuan Shao paused for a moment, and seeing that everyone looked over, he continued: "Lu Bu sent an envoy to deliver the letter."
"The letter said: Cao Cao intends to cross the Yellow River north from Hangu Pass and enter Hanoi County to attack us.
"Nonsense!" Wang Shou immediately said, "Cao Cao is at war with Lu Bu, how could he cross the river to attack us?"
"Besides, we are currently allies with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao has no reason to attack us." Guo Tu echoed.
"To offend Lu Bu first and then sneak attack us is undoubtedly an act of making enemies everywhere. Cao Cao would not do such a stupid thing." Xun Chen also did not agree with this statement.
Yuan Shao nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, "I also think so, Lu Bu was attacked by three families at the same time, it may be because of his incompetence, so he wanted to use tricks to lure us into the bait.
"My lord." Xu You stood up suddenly at this moment.
"Ziyuan, I haven't asked your opinion yet," Yuan Shao said.
As a confidant and as a childhood playmate, Yuan Shao is still very dependent on Xu You.
"My lord, I have a different opinion." Xu You said immediately.
"Oh? Tell me in detail." Yuan Shao asked immediately.
"There is a way to believe what is true and what is not, what if what Lu Bu said is true? We have to guard against it, why not increase our troops in Hanoi County."
"Cut~" Guo Tu said disdainfully: "Could it be that just because of Lu Bu's letter, we have to mobilize troops and send troops to Hanoi County, and we don't need money for food and grass!"
Xu You's reason is indeed a bit far-fetched, even Yuan Shao doesn't agree with it.
"My lord, may I ask how many troops Cao Cao sent this time?" Xu You said calmly.
"It should be 200,000, and there are 100,000 troops left in Yanzhou." Yuan Shao replied immediately.
There was a lot of movement about Cao Cao's dispatch of troops, and news of Yuan Shao's secret operations in Henan came back.
"Where is the remaining 100,000 troops stationed?" Xu You continued to ask.
"Beside the Yellow River." Yuan Shao blurted out.
"Who is Cao Cao's 100,000 troops guarding against?" Xu You asked immediately.
"Of course... us." Yuan Shao paused.
Xu You: "Since Cao Cao is wary of us, it naturally means that Cao Cao treats us as enemies."
"Since we are enemies, it is possible for Cao Cao to attack us."
"Now we have just obtained Bingzhou, the whole Bingzhou plus Hanoi and Hedong, but only 50,000 troops are stationed, and there are only a few thousand people scattered in various states and counties. Is it a bit too small?"
"Even if there is no letter from Lu Bu, should we have more things in Bingzhou?"
After Xu You finished speaking, everyone in the hall fell into deep thought.
"What's more, at Hangu Pass, is it only Cao Cao who can cross the river to the north?" Xu You continued: "The news came from Xizuo that Cao Cao lost a game at Hangu Pass, and I think it will be very difficult for Cao Cao to defeat Hangu Pass. "
"Once Cao Cao withdraws his troops from Hangu Pass, will Lu Bu have the idea of taking back Bingzhou? Will he cross the river to attack Bingzhou?"
Xu You bowed solemnly to Yuan Shao and said: "I suggest that you increase troops in Hanoi County, not only to guard against Cao Cao, but also to guard against Lu Bu. In short, to ensure the safety of Bingzhou, don't be easily captured by others."
*`~ No matter what conspiracy or tricks this letter from Lu Bu has, we can ignore it, and at the same time take precautions that we should have, so we don’t have to worry.
"It makes sense." Yuan Shao was fooled by Xu You, and felt that what Xu You said was very reasonable.
It will never be wrong to send more troops to garrison the newly conquered Bingzhou.
Regardless of Lu Bu's conspiracy, it's the business to be optimistic about his own territory.
"Could it be to tune the tiger away from the mountain?" Ju Shou raised an objection.
"And then?" Xu You asked back: "Yecheng has 200,000 troops, even if we send 100,000 to Bingzhou, we still have 100,000. "Could it be possible that Chuanbu can fly to Yecheng from Hangu Pass?"
"Or Cao Cao's 100,000 troops by the Yellow River, who dare to cross the river and attack Yecheng?"
Yuan Shao's current enemies are Lu Bu and Cao Cao. After Bingzhou was taken by Yuan Shao, Lu Bu no longer borders Yuan Shao, but is separated by the Yellow River.
What's more, Lu Bu and Cao Cao are still facing each other on the front line, and neither of these two will come to attack Hebei.
"Okay." Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "Stop arguing, too."
"As Ziyuan said, stationing troops in Bingzhou is a good thing for us, as if Lu Bu hadn't sent this letter, we should send more troops to Bingzhou.
Yuan Shao looked around at the crowd (good Nuo Zhao), and ordered: "Decree, send 80,000 more troops in Bingzhou, and then join forces and station in Hanoi County."
"One hundred and thirty thousand troops, whether it is Lu Bu or Cao Cao, whoever dares to cross the river will die!"
"My lord is wise!" Xu You immediately flattered him, thinking that the task this time was accomplished.
The content of Lu Bu's letter to Xu You is to make Xu You promise to persuade Yuan Shao to send more troops to Hanoi County.
Xu You didn't know what Lu Bu's plan was, but Xu You knew that even if there was a problem with Bingzhou, he could clean it up.
It was also a good intention for him to encourage the dispatch of additional troops to Bingzhou. If something really happened, it would not depend on him, Xu You.
As for Lu Bu's purpose of doing this, he really didn't mean to harm Yuan Shao, but wanted to use Yuan Shao's hand to kill Cao Cao.
When Lu Bu rushed into Cao Ying and saw Cao Ying building ships, it was inconvenient for Lu to think of this method.
When Cao Cao crossed the river with his men, he happened to meet Yuan Shao's men. The two armies would definitely not sit down and drink tea. Conflicts were inevitable.
One trick is to kill with a knife, and to use Yuan Shao's hand to kill Cao Cao, and at the same time weaken Yuan Shao's Li Xingle. .
