Chapter 181: Junhou, don’t be deceived by Yuan Shu(2/3)
Lu Bu, who was heading towards Shouchun at this moment, also received the news that Yuan Shu had proclaimed himself emperor.
Even after learning that Lu Bu had entered Yangzhou, Yuan Shu immediately sent an envoy to greet Lu Bu.
Yuan Shu came to inform Lü Bu that his lord had proclaimed himself emperor and wanted to reward Lü Bu as a general under Yuan Shu.
After hearing these words, Lu Bu was confused for the first time!
To be honest, the title of General made Lu Bu a little excited, but Cao Xing, who was following closely beside him, couldn't help but give Lu Bu some advice.
"Your Majesty, don't be deceived by Yuan Shu!"
When Cao Xing spoke, Lu Bu was stunned for a moment and turned to look at him. Nowadays, there are not many people around him who can give him advice.
He missed Chen Gong a little.
It is a pity that Chen Gong did not surrender to him at the beginning, and when they captured Yanzhou, the two only had a cooperative relationship.
Although Cao Xing is not outstanding in resourcefulness, sometimes his words are quite reasonable.
"Go on!"
Lu Bu glanced at Cao Xing, but his expression did not change at all.
Seeing Lu Bu asking Cao Xing, he did not hesitate at all: "The prince is a marquis personally appointed by the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Now that the Han court is still there, Yuan Shu's act of falsely claiming to be emperor is an act of rebellion!"
"Since you entered Luoyang, you have killed the traitors of the country and protected the emperor. You are the purest among the officials of the Han Dynasty!"
"Nowadays, Yuan Shu only occupies a mere area of Yangzhou and claims to be emperor. If a prince gives up his position as a prince and takes Yuan Shu's undeserved title of general, wouldn't he be willing to fall down?"
Ultimately, what Cao Xing means is that Yuan Shu only has a territory as big as the palm of Yangzhou, so he pretends to be emperor.
His title of general is nothing at all.
You, Lu Bu, are now a serious Marquis of the Han Dynasty. This is not something that the great general Yuan Shu can compare with.
All in all, Yuan Shu is unworthy!
After Cao Xing finished speaking, Lu Buten took the time to figure it out.
Yes!
That guy Yuan Shu only occupied a piece of land in Yangzhou and then proclaimed himself emperor. This is simply a disease!
Although he, Lu Bu, is usually too lazy to think too much, he can still think clearly about some things.
Why did you, Yuan Shu, claim to be emperor?
Moreover, I gave up Bingzhou and came with an army from thousands of miles away. This time I came to cooperate with you. You turned around and proclaimed yourself emperor, but in the end you wanted me to be your little brother?
I really thought he, Lu Bu, was so easy to bully.
I came here just because of the name of the Yuan family, but you, Yuan Shu, are stupid and want to drag me into the water with you. You really think I am a reckless man.
Lu Bu's face gradually darkened.
At this moment, he was already a little lucky. Fortunately, he had not arrived in Yangzhou yet, otherwise he would have seen Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor in front of him when he arrived in Yangzhou.
Maybe he himself will be furious!
At this time, Lu Bu thought of his daughter again, and the girl didn't know where she ran away this time.
But, fortunately, that girl has been taught by herself all year round. Although her martial arts is not first-class, it is more than enough to protect herself.
After leaving Lu Qiling behind for the time being, Lu Bu was in trouble again.
Now he has arrived in the Yangzhou area.
And Bingzhou has been abandoned by him, and there is no way he can go back this time.
But he couldn't bear to act like Yuan Shu's little brother.
"What now?"
Lu Bu glanced at Cao Xing, indicating that he had agreed with Cao Xing's advice.
Seeing that Lu Bu recognized him, Cao Xing lowered his head and thought for a while.
"Your Majesty, at this moment, if Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor, all the princes in the world will definitely attack him!"
"The Lord may have three choices this time!"
Cao Xing spoke, and Lu Bu couldn't help but become interested after hearing this.
Can this guy come up with three more options?
"Tell me about it!"
Lu Bu looked squarely, which was the attitude of a lord in this era when he listened to the advice of his subordinates.
When Cao Xing saw Lu Bu like this, he didn't stop.
"One: The prince can be like the princes in the world, fighting against Yuan Shu together. This time the prince has gone deep into Yangzhou, and he can be the first person in the world to attack Yuan Shu.
After the lord issues the call, all the princes in the world will definitely respond, and this move will also make the lord famous in the world!"
After the first choice was made, Lu Bu pulled his brows down.
Attacking Yuan Shu directly, Cao Xing still thinks it's too simple.
He only brought 20,000 Xiliang soldiers this time, and although Yuan Shu only occupied Yangzhou, he had at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command.
What's more, Shouchun City is a fortified city. Twenty thousand people versus hundreds of thousands are undoubtedly seeking death.
"Keep talking!"
The first choice was that Lu Bu did not continue to listen.
Although on the surface this suggestion is indeed good, it may even make you famous.
But in Yuan Shu's territory, using 20,000 troops to deal with the opponent is not seeking death.
Once he breaks up with Yuan Shu and the other party joins forces to attack him, I'm afraid he won't be able to wait for those princes to attack Yuan Shu.
What's more, when those princes will attack Yuan Shu is another matter!
Lu Bu didn't listen to the first suggestion, and he was so naive that he didn't think much about it. After thinking about it for a while, he continued to speak.
"The second is that the emperor surrenders to Yuan Shu. This is a desperate strategy!"
Before Cao Xing finished speaking, Lu Bu shook his head when he heard this: "It's just a last resort, so don't say more, tell me what other options you have!"
Lu Bu was already a little impatient and noticed that the other party was a little angry, so Cao Xing quickly followed suit and continued speaking.
"The last option is to tell Yuan Shu that although he does not recognize the other party as emperor, he still forms an alliance with the other party, but this time he cannot continue to Shouchun!
You should choose a good place to develop yourself!"
After saying this, Lu Bu's brows jumped up.
If you listen carefully, only the third option is considered pertinent!
However, when choosing a good land, where should he choose? Could it be that he turned his head and attacked Liu Biao in Jingzhou?
Along the way this time, he had already fought with Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu and others.
Although there were few losses, there was nothing we could do against Zhang Xiu and others. It was not a good choice to turn around and attack Jingzhou.
Lu Bu frowned and looked at Cao Xing: "Choose a good place, where do you think is suitable now?"
When asked about a suitable place, Cao Xing knew that Lu Bu had already chosen the third way out in his heart.
In his opinion, if there is a suitable place now, it is only the land of Xuzhou!
First, the Han newspaper previously published that Cao Cao led an army of 200,000 to the west. Now, Xuzhou must not have many troops in the rear!
On the other hand, Xuzhou borders Yuan Shu's territory. If you attack Xuzhou, you can also take the opportunity to ask Yuan Shu for some food, grass and military supplies.
In this way, it will go much smoother!
Thinking like this, Cao Cao then spoke.
"Jun Hou, in my opinion, Xuzhou is good!"
"This time Cao Cao leads the army to the west, it is the time when the emperor is stationed in Xuzhou!"
Although there have been disasters in Dahan in recent years, Xuzhou has almost recovered after two years of recovery!
Xuzhou has always been a prosperous place for the Han Dynasty.
If Xuzhou can be captured, it may be a very good way out for Lu Bu.
Hearing Cao Xing say this, Lu Bu's eyes lit up instantly.
Xuzhou is pretty good!
Now, he is forced to leave Bingzhou by Yuan Shao, and there is also a gap between him and Cao Cao.
And Cao Cao is out with his army this time. Xuzhou is a good time for him to attack. Now he is not far from Xuzhou. He only needs to pass through Shouchun to attack Xuzhou all the way north.

"Yes, it's Xuzhou!"
After Lu Bu made up his mind, he directly informed Yuan Shu's envoy.
