31, never let go(2/2)
Holding the letter in his hand, Wang Zheng looked gloomy and stood in a daze for a long time. He just sat down with his hands on the table. On a hot day, he felt as if he had participated in some ice bucket challenge, and a bucket of ice was poured over him in an instant. water.
"What happened? General." Gu Jian asked with concern.
"Lü Bu is here." Wang Zheng rubbed his eyebrows, waved his hand a little irritably, and read the military report again.
"Five thousand troops came galloping from the west of Pengcheng. Among them, there were less than a thousand cavalry, and they were all from Bingzhou... Rumor has it that their leader was General Fenwu, Marquis of Wen Lu Bu... He wanted to use Pengcheng to go to Xiapi. ..”
"The general is afraid that he will follow the false path to attack Guo, and he is also worried that if he takes refuge with Liu Bei, he will later be disadvantageous to the general, so he dare not let him go..."
"It's just that Marquis Wen has a great reputation, and like us, he has a grudge against Cao Cao. Although he won't let him go, he doesn't dare to turn against him without permission, so he keeps his troops stationed in Wu County temporarily, waiting for the general to make a decision."
Wang Zheng came down from the hall and paced back and forth, walking like the wind.
He was shocked at first, because like Xu Fang, he was worried about Lu Bu attacking Pengcheng, and was also deeply afraid that he would go to Xiapi and surrender to Liu Bei. So Yuan Shu and his own family, who were fighting with him at this time, weren't the best candidates to surrender?
However, upon closer reflection, the problem is not that serious.
First, even if he is not proficient in the history of the Three Kingdoms, Wang Zheng probably knows that in the original history, not long after Lu Bu came to Xuzhou, he took away Liu Bei's foundation, leaving Liuzhou Mu, who had not been powerful for long, to be dependent on others again.
It seems...Wang Zheng secretly muttered, is it because of Yuan Shu's estrangement?
(In the first year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu led his army to attack Xuzhou and had a stalemate with Liu Bei in Xuyi and Huaiyin. The stalemate lasted for a month, with both sides winning or losing. Yuan Shu wrote to Lu Bu, promising to send 200,000 hu of rice to induce him to attack Xiapi , so Lü Bu marched eastward by land and water, and when the army arrived forty miles west of Xiapi, Liu Bei's lieutenant general Xu Dan from Danyang sent Sima Zhangjiao to meet Lü Bu, and revealed to Lü Bu that Zhang Fei was fighting with his father-in-law Cao Bao. There was great chaos in Xiapi City. Danyang soldiers were all waiting for Lu Bu's arrival in Xibaimen City, so Lu Bu marched in large numbers and arrived at the city in the morning. After dawn, Danyang soldiers opened the city gate. Lu Bu sat on the city gate and commanded the army to defeat Zhang Fei. They captured Liu Bei's wives, concubines, children and their families. At this time, Liu Bei was defeated by Yuan Shu and fled to Haixi. Hungry and exhausted, he asked Lu Bu to surrender. Lu Bu was angry that Yuan Shu stopped bringing food, so he prepared chariots and horses to welcome Liu Bei. , appointed Liu Bei as the governor of Yuzhou and sent him to garrison Xiaopei. Lu Bu called himself Xuzhou Mu)
Secondly, this point is actually more important. There are two talkers in Xuzhou today.
Brother Dian, you can also seek refuge with me. I am also the governor of Xuzhou.
But...this rebel is not part of the system, but I don't dare to keep him.
The key is, how to get him to actively apply to join the team?
Wang Zheng hesitated for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter. Now that he couldn't go back and take charge, in this situation, it would be too early to think of accepting Lu Bu, right?
Although Lu Bu's heroic image is profound, Liu Bei's threat is obviously still greater.
What's more, as long as he is driven out of Xuzhou, the only people Lu Bu can rely on are him or Yuan Shu. The latter cannot control the flying general. Wang Zheng has this confidence.
Sitting on the meeting table, writing and pondering for a long time, Wang Zheng simply said that Xu Fang's current response was actually very good, not to make enemies, not to let things go, and if he really had to choose between the two, Wang Zheng would rather choose the latter.
"Never let it go!" After ordering the messenger to bring the message back, Wang Zheng stood up suddenly, and suddenly another tiger came to his side. He could no longer feel sorry for the loss of his own soldiers, so he made a decision.
"Ancient sword!"
"The end is here!"
"Instruct the three armies to get ready for departure, and at the same time send people to contact Yan Xiang quickly and order him to return within three days."
"Regardless of whether he can be on time or not, whether he brings troops or not, he will set out to support the country in five days..."
"Within ten days..." Wang Zheng stood up and turned around to look around. The shining sunlight shone on the divine sword on the wall, and there was a faint green light coming out of the scabbard.
"This is going to open the gates of Guangling City!"
