Such contradictory actions are tantamount to telling the world bluntly that he, Cao Cao, is worried about the Yuan and Tan brothers, and that the promise of high officials and generous salary is just to appease the two brothers, and in fact he will not give them any real power at all.It can be seen from this that Cao Cao is quite jealous of the Yuan brothers, but he can do nothing to them.I can only appease him.Therefore, the two brothers Yuan and Tan are huge hidden dangers under Cao Cao's rule, and one day they will surely lead to civil strife.

Second, according to detailed investigation reports.Ju Yi, the former general of Jizhou, took advantage of the war in Yecheng and sent troops to attack Changshan and Zhongshan. Since then, the two sides have continued to fight and fight frequently, and they are still at a stalemate with Cao Jun.This Ju Yi is not simple.The reason why Yuan Shao was able to fight against General Gongsun Zan repeatedly in the past and gained the upper hand repeatedly.It all depends on this man's skillful use of troops and his bravery in combat.In addition, Yuan Shao used Ju Yi's troops to attack the Black Mountain Army and pacify Qingzhou.

Because of this, the only general in Jizhou who can lead the army independently for many years is Ju Yi, and other generals such as Yan Liangwen Chou, Zhang He Gaolan and others have no chance to be alone.Therefore, Ju Yi's position in the Jizhou army is detached, and he is also the only strong general who dares to question Yuan Shao's military order, so Yuan Shao is very angry.If it weren't for him, he would still be used to resist the harassment of the Youzhou army.I'm afraid Yuan Shao would have found a chance to get rid of him long ago.

Now that Yuan Shao is dead, Ju Yi cannot trust Cao Cao.So they support their own self-respect and separate regimes to stand on their own.Since then, Ju Yi's army has become the second biggest hidden danger that Cao Cao absolutely cannot tolerate.However, if Cao Cao wanted to wipe out Ju Yi in one fell swoop, it would not be easy. You must know that Ju Yi had been on the battlefield for a long time and had few defeats.Once Cao Cao leads the army to encircle and suppress Ju Yi, it is tantamount to forcing him to our side. At that time, we only need to give a helping hand to win him over and use him for me.

At the same time, if Ju Yi joins our army, then the chance of winning the next attack on Jizhou will increase by [-]%.After all, Ju Yi knows the terrain of the counties and counties of Jizhou very well, and he is even more familiar with the tactics and tactics of the generals of Jizhou. At that time, our army can let him lead the way to attack from the flank, and it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort! "

After speaking, Guo Jia looked at Li Li with burning eyes, because he knew that Li Li had talked with Ju Yixu once when he traveled to Jizhou in his early years.At that time, Guo Jia didn't understand the meaning. He didn't know why Li Li looked at Ju Yi differently. He seemed to appreciate Ju Yi very much.Unexpectedly, today after many years, the situation has changed suddenly, Ju Yi has now become a lone army, and there is every chance to subdue him.

Seeing Guo Jia's strange eyes, Li Li understood immediately, and said with a calm smile, "Just as Feng Xiao thought, before the army set off, I ordered people to go to Jizhou to discuss with Ju Yi, and there will be results soon."

While Li Li was speaking, Lu Lingqi, who had been in military uniform all her life, walked over with a pot of hot tea. Guo Jia and Jia Xu immediately stood up and saluted.Lu Lingqi smiled, put down the tray, and replaced the cooled teapot on the table, then slightly bowed her body, and walked lightly into the backyard.

After Lu Lingqi left, Guo Jia and Jia Xu took their seats.Obviously, Lu Lingqi's status is completely different from before. She is a veritable mistress, so Guo Jia and Jia Xu can be polite with Li Li, but they can't be rude in front of his woman.This move seems superfluous, but it is actually indispensable. Don't you see that Li Li didn't stop the two of them from standing up and saluting?

Don't think that the status of a concubine is not as noble as that of the main wife. Li Li's women have the same status whether they are concubines or the main wife.Because of this, he did not stop Guo Jia and Jia Xu from standing up and saluting.This etiquette represents Li Li's respect for his wives and concubines, and Guo Jia and Jia Xu have followed him for many years, so they naturally know the mystery of it.

"Is Madam Lingqi going with the army too?" Guo Jia asked softly.

Li Li nodded with a smile and said: "Well, she went together. If it was before, she would not be able to go, but now it's different. She is my Li Li's woman, and she should know how to behave, so I didn't hide it from her and let her accompany the army Peer. Maybe it’s not a bad thing for her to come this time.”

Chapter 093

In the evening of summer, the evening breeze blows.

Xuzhou Zhoumu Mansion, the back garden is full of flowers and colorful butterflies, it is a beautiful scenery.

The courtyard is deep, and on both sides of the water pavilion corridor, weak willows support the wind, green water and lotus flowers complement each other.

In the pavilion on the east side, Lu Bu, dressed in a thin brocade robe with an open neckline, was lying on his back on a wide wicker chair. On the left and right sides, there was a young and beautiful girl, hugging the left and the right, accompanied by wine and beauties.Eating rose apples (grapes) without the skin of rose apples, drinking fine wine without dipping the wine cup, and opening your mouth with the food in your hands, is a pleasure!

Indeed, for Lu Bu, the last six months have been the happiest and most comfortable period of time since he fought for many years. He was carefree and comfortable physically and mentally.

Since the end of the Huainan War, although he lost a lot of soldiers and horses, he got a lot of supplies, money and food, and returned with a full load.

It is worth mentioning that on the way back to Xuzhou with his troops, officials from all counties and counties along the way came out of the city to greet each other warmly, and rewarded the army with delicious food and wine.Although these prefectures and counties had been brought under Li Li's rule, he, Lu Bu, was Li Li's father-in-law, so the officials along the way did not dare to neglect him, and treated him warmly, and even gave a lot of money when he left.

In this way, along the way, Lu Bu made a fortune and led his troops back to Xuzhou contentedly.When he entered the city that day, he had less than 3 soldiers and horses, but he brought more than [-] carts of money and food, so that the caravan returned with a full load was even more spectacular than his troops and horses, which made countless people envious and amazed.

Soon afterwards, Li Lili's army returned to Hebei, and immediately lifted the threat of Xuzhou, so that Lu Bu could enjoy the prosperity and wealth with peace of mind, and be the king of Xuzhou with peace of mind.

From then on.Every day in Xuzhou State Shepherd's Mansion, there are singing and dancing, playing the harp and the sheng, and singing and dancing.Happy and happy.But Lu Bu was addicted to it, wandering in the singing and dancing all day long, drunk in the gentle countryside, drinking inexhaustible fine wine, and the beautiful girl took what she gave.

It can be said to be: seeing the beauty with drunken eyes, sniffing the fragrance of flowers in a dream;If you are proud, you must drink too much.A beautiful woman accompanies her in her dreamland; when she wakes up, she is still lying on her knees.

A month ago, when I learned that Li Li was defeated in Yecheng.Lu Bu laughed out loud after a moment of distraction, and drank three hundred cups that day, full of passion, fighting the three women at night.

Obviously.This news made Lu Bu very excited.I was so excited that I couldn't hold it back, and I went completely crazy for a while.This is because in his impression, after so many years, it seems that Li Li has never suffered a defeat, never suffered such a big loss.

In the First World War, more than [-] troops were lost, and it was a complete defeat, a miserable defeat, and a crushing defeat.Li Li thus set a precedent.He became the prince who lost the most soldiers and horses in the First World War among the princes in the world, and ranked first among all the princes.Even if you lose a battle, you will be so showy.There is only Li Li in the world, and the other princes can hardly hold a candle to him, and feel ashamed.

So Lu Bu took pleasure in other people's misfortunes, held a big banquet in the mansion for three consecutive days, and drank happily with all the officials in Xuzhou.He drank heavily every day, even when he passed out, he still laughed heartily and mocked Li Li in public: "Li Wenchang has always been arrogant and arrogant, I didn't expect you to have today, what a joy!"

However, after learning that Li Li successfully broke through the siege and returned to Bingzhou unscathed more than half a month ago, Lu Bu became depressed again.On the day when Xi Zuo sent back the news, he rose up in the lobby of the State Shepherd's Mansion and cursed Cao Cao who had missed the opportunity: "Cao Mengde was a wise man, but he was confused for a while. Since he sent Liu Bei to intercept and kill Li Li, he is really stupid! Li Li was trapped in Yecheng, what a great opportunity, dreamed of, and once in a thousand years, I hate that Cao Cao actually watched Li Li break out of the siege and escape from the sky. Cao Mengde is really incompetent, stupid as a pig!"

Since then, Lu Bu stayed behind closed doors for three consecutive days, drinking heavily all day long.At this point, the prefectural pastoral mansion, which had been bustling for half a year, finally calmed down, and all the officials in Xuzhou didn't have to go to banquets every day, and they didn't have to rack their brains to flatter Lu Bu, so they were happy to be quiet.

In the gazebo, Lu Bu was lying in the arms of a beauties with closed eyes and dozed off, while another beauties skillfully beat his legs and rubbed his shoulders.At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the waterside corridor, which caused Lu Bu to stare coldly at Wei Xu who was trotting towards the pavilion.

"Tom tom tom!"

After a while of trotting into the gazebo, Wei Xu gasped for breath and said anxiously: "My lord, the Xiliang army has entered Xuzhou."

"Uh! What did you say?" Hearing that the Xiliang army had arrived, Lu Bu suddenly stood up, stepped in front of Wei Xu, grabbed his collar, and lifted him up instantly, causing Wei Xu's report to stop abruptly. His face was red from being strangled, his neck was thick, and he couldn't breathe.

However, Lu Bu turned a blind eye to this, and asked anxiously: "The Xiliang army has entered Xuzhou, why didn't you report it a long time ago, and why did you delay?"

"Cough cough cough!" Wei Xu struggled to break free while coughing violently. Only then did Lu Bu notice that he was strangled to the point of speechlessness, so he let go of him, glaring at Wei Xu coldly.

Seeing this, Wei Xu didn't dare to hesitate. After panting twice, he quickly reported: "My lord, don't be alarmed. The Xiliang army didn't come here to plot against Xuzhou, but to attack Yanzhou under Cao Cao's rule through Xuzhou. .” While speaking, Wei Xu waved his hand to signal the soldiers standing outside the pavilion to present the bamboo slips in their hands.

Seeing this, the soldiers stepped forward and handed the two scrolls of bamboo slips to Wei Xu. After Wei Xu took the bamboo slips, he carefully identified them, and then handed one of the bamboo slips to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu didn't pay attention to why Wei Xu was holding two scrolls of bamboo slips. He immediately took the slips and opened them to read.

Ten rows at a glance (the bamboo slips are written vertically), after quickly reading the bamboo slips, the anger on Lu Bu's face gradually subsided, he breathed a sigh of relief, then walked slowly to the seat, sat down slowly in a leisurely manner, and handed the The bamboo slips were thrown on the desk in front of him.

The content on the bamboo slips is quite concise and straightforward, to the effect that: the Wuwei Camp of Bocai stationed in Yuzhou and Xu Huang's stationed in Huainan were ordered to go to Yanzhou to participate in the war. Due to time constraints, they borrowed Xuzhou to rush to Yanzhou to participate in the war as scheduled.For this reason, Bocai asked Lu Bu to be accommodating and allowed the troops under his tent to pass through.

In addition, the bamboo slips explained in detail the way to borrow the road, and stated that no one would enter the city along the way, and if they encountered a city, they would go around the city so as not to disturb the people of Xuzhou.He also mentioned that a navy from the Xiliang Army has recently gone south to Yangzhou and stationed in Lujiang River. At that time, Lu Bu will need to lend a helping hand, temporarily borrowing some food and grass to supplement the needs of the navy, which will be doubled in the future.

After thinking for a while, Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "Bocai is so rude. Since he wants something from me, he doesn't come in person. This is obviously contempt for me! Besides, Yuzhou and Yanzhou are not far away, so this guy can do it." Leading the troops back to Sili, and then marching directly from Sili, there is no need to detour to Xuzhou. There is also the Xiliang Navy mentioned in the slips. I have never heard that the Xiliang Army has a navy before, but now there is a baffling one. Navy. The most puzzling thing is that this navy has to borrow from me in Xuzhou, and also to borrow food and grass, but where did it come from? Could it be able to sail across the ocean?"

Wei Xu was also confused after hearing the words, and knew nothing about it.In other words, his understanding of the Xiliang Army was comparable to that of Lu Bu, and if Lu Bu didn't know about it, Wei Xu naturally knew nothing about it, so he couldn't answer Lu Bu's question.

So Wei Xu bowed and stood aside, keeping his mouth shut, for fear of answering wrong questions and being reprimanded by Lu Bu again.

Seeing Wei Xu standing behind the courtyard pillar with his head bowed in a daze, Lu Bu couldn't help being very annoyed. He wanted to reprimand Wei Xu but he held back after all.After all, Wei Xu is his brother-in-law. It is not easy to follow him for many years, and he has always been loyal to him.Therefore, Lu Bu was thinking about the old love, but swallowed the words again, which was to save some face for Wei Xu.

After a moment of silence, Lu Bu said in a deep voice with sullen expression on his face: "Forget it, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Li Li was defeated in Yecheng, his strength is still very strong, and he still has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. So we Lu Bu gave him face this time by allowing Bocai and Xu Huang's troops to pass through Xuzhou; however, our army is short of food and grass and unable to supply the needs of its navy, so please find another way out!"

Wei Xu heard the command, and even though he was about to turn around and leave, he turned back after taking two steps, handed another bamboo slip in his hand to Lu Bu, and explained respectfully: "My lord, this scroll was sent by Cao Cao. It was delivered. Just now the military adviser (Chen Gong) handed it over to the junior general, and told the latter to present the letter to the lord with his own hands, and I ask the lord to make a decision."

Hearing Wei Xu mentioning Chen Gong, Lu Bu's expression changed slightly, a look of disgust flashed in the corner of his eyes, he took the bamboo slips with a straight face, and opened them to read.

The content of the letter is: Cao Cao wants to form an alliance with Lu Bu to fight against Li Li, and promises to divide the world equally when it is done, to control the country and share the glory.If Lu Bu could form an alliance with him regardless of the previous suspicions, Cao Cao was willing to give [-] shi of grain and grass, [-] gold, and more than a hundred carts of brocade and silk cloth, all of which would be sent to Lu Bu to show his sincerity in the alliance.In addition, after the alliance between the two sides, Cao Cao will also donate [-] war horses to help Lu Bu expand his army and horses, expand the wolf cavalry army, and strengthen the strength of the allied forces.

This volume of alliance letter is very tempting, like a piece of sweet and fat fat, which made Lu Bu's eyes light up, his eyebrows brightened, and his heart skipped a beat after reading the letter.

However, he was quite hesitant about the matter of joining forces against Li Li mentioned in the bamboo slips, and he was hesitant to decide what to do.This is because he has always been so jealous of Li Li that he usually doesn't allow others to mention Li Li's name in the mansion.

But Lu Bu never let go of this kind of fat that was sent to his lips. When Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, he also wooed him in the same way, giving him a lot of money and food in exchange for his support.Now, Yuan Shu has passed away, but he, Lu Bu, is getting better and better, and his strength is getting stronger and stronger.Therefore, Lü Bu planned to repeat his old tricks, temporarily agreeing to form an alliance with Cao Cao, and first get the money, food and horses that Cao Cao promised.

When Lu Bu instructed Wei Xu how to reply Cao Cao in a low voice, he seemed to have forgotten that Cao Cao has always been treacherous and cunning, how could he be compared with Yuan Shu and other colleagues?

Chapter 094

As the night deepens, the crescent moon hangs in the sky, and the stars are shining brightly.

In Chen Gong's mansion, a trusted servant quickly walked into the inner hall and whispered the news he had just inquired about.

"My lord agrees?"
