"Dafather, the struggle for the world is that Yuan's family has taken over a century of virtue and career to reform and renew and establish a new dynasty. However, before the great cause is achieved, there is a struggle for brothers. Yuan Shao defended Hebei and pointed at Qingxu. Yuan Shu was determined to be in Huainan and occupied Jiangdong. Yuan Shu was not as talented as Yuan Shao, and he would retreat to the river and defend himself in the future, attempting to divide the river with Yuan Shao to govern. With the situation of the six counties in Jiangdong, Wu County would inevitably become Yuan Shu's possession."

Lu Kang frowned. If Wujun would definitely not be able to escape Yuan Shu's palm, and he competed with Yuan Shu, even if his family members returned to Wujun, they would probably not be able to do so.

"The Sun family and his son are both poor families in Wu County. Sun Jian almost made a big fuss in order to marry Wu. Sun Jian died in battle, and Sun Ce brutally refused to let his father. Now he wants to use the Battle of Lujiang to seek credit from Yuan Shu in an attempt to regain Sun Jian's old subordinates. The father's desire to defend Lujiang is tantamount to blocking Sun Ce's path. How could Sun Ce not fight to the death with his father?"

Lu Kang understood. Sun Ce wanted to make a living by taking advantage of this battle. He defended Lujiang, just a stone in front of Sun Ce. If he didn't move him away, Sun Ce would never give up and would definitely do his best. If Sun Ce was defeated, of course he would hate him for the rest of his life. If he won and suffered too much loss, with Sun Ce's personality, he would probably slaughter him a lot, and the Lu family would also be unable to escape.

Of course, there will be no good results when Li is in Lujiang, but returning to Wujun does not mean that he is safe. Lu Kang is in a dilemma and doesn't know what to do for a moment. His eyes rolled and asked again: "Then what are you good ways?"

"Big Father, do you think your Majesty can defeat Yuan Shao if he urges his troops eastward?"

Lu Kang stroked his beard and pondered without saying a word. This was also a problem that made him puzzled. At the beginning of this year, the emperor Liu Bian defeated Yuan Shu and Cao Cao in Songgao Mountain. Some people even said that he had hatched the legendary dragon. If it was true, he could completely defeat Yuan Shao. Even if he could not pacify the entire Shandong, he could destroy Yuan Shao's prestige and put Shandong in a chaotic situation where there was no leader.

However, Liu Bian led the troops to the north. Lu Kang had never understood what he was thinking.

"It should be no problem to defeat Yuan Shao. I just can't understand why he didn't take action with such a good opportunity. He just wanted to fight the Northern Expedition. Isn't this giving Yuan Shao a chance? When Yuan Shao unifies Shandong, it will not be that easy."

"There are only two possibilities for being able to do it." Although Lu Xun's voice was tender, his expression was extremely calm: "Either he didn't care about Yuan Shao. There is no difference between fighting early and late. Or there is something more important. He forced him to put Yuan Shao aside first."

The butler Lu Yun couldn't help it and interrupted and asked, "What's the relationship with our Lu family?"

"Since Wu County is in danger of being safe, why not go to Luoyang?" Lu Xun said: "At least one more choice."

Lu Kang and Lu Yun looked at each other and nodded at the same time. In fact, not everyone has confidence in the Yuan family. There is no one who stays in the court to watch. Since they have decided to be loyal to the court and fight against the Yuan brothers, sending some people to Luoyang is undoubtedly a good choice.

Lu Kang thought for a long time and decided to split the troops into two groups. Lu Yun took a few family members to escort Lu Xun to Luoyang. Lu Xun's grandfather Lu Yu was once the captain of the city gate and had some old friends in Luoyang. Lu Xun went to Luoyang to defect to them, at least his life was guaranteed.

Without further ado, Lu Xun set off that afternoon, headed west into Jingzhou, preparing to avoid Yuan Shu's obstruction and rushed from Jingzhou to Luoyang.

...

West of Pengcheng, Cao Cao immediately rode onto Xiaoshan and looked into the distance.

In the distance, Pengcheng is like a cruciating tiger.

Cao Cao's eyes were gloomy, and his hand holding the reins was exposed. The young Guo Jia sat on the war horse and coughed from time to time. Every time he coughed, it would last for a while until his face turned flushed.

After Xi Zhicai left, Xun Yu recommended Guo Jia to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was very happy to have a chat with Guo Jia. Guo Jia is simply a young version of Xi Zhicai. Not only does he have similar personalities, similar views, but his body is very similar and weak.

The only thing that made Cao Cao a little regretful was that Guo Jia did not have the Cheng Wenquan of Xi Zhicai. Although Xi Zhicai was unruly, he was middle-aged and had the qualifications, and even if others couldn't stand it, he would not say anything. Guo Jia was too young, so young that anyone thought he was a junior and always wanted to teach him a lesson, but he was so smart that no one could convince him. When those people were refuted by him and even retorted, they would inevitably give people the impression of being young and crazy.

Of course, such young people are not popular.

In other words, people like Cao Cao can talk to Guo Jia. If it were Yuan Shao, I would be afraid that I would send off the guests if I could only say a few words to Guo Jia.

Cao Cao valued Guo Jia very much, just like he relied on the role of ambition. Yuan Shao sent him to attack Xuzhou. He listened to Xun Yan's opinion and sought talents under Yuan Shao's banner. His strength increased greatly, but he was still a little helpless to attack Pengcheng.

When he was arranging him to attack Pengcheng, Yuan Shao led his army into Qingzhou. In the plain, Gaotang area defeated Qingzhou Xu Jin Guanhai's troops and achieved a considerable victory, but Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou who sent troops to assist, was inexplicably killed. Hearing this news, Cao Cao felt a little confused, because Liu Dai was his good friend and had once revealed his intention to invite him to take over Yanzhou. This time, Cao Cao did not know if Liu Dai's death was related to this matter. If so, it can only be said that Yuan Shao was very cautious about him, not only to use the attack on Pengcheng to consume his strength, but also to get rid of his friends.

Faced with this situation, Cao Cao did not dare to act rashly. If the losses caused by attacking Pengcheng were too great, it would be easier for Yuan Shao to clean him up. Killing Liu Dai may have some different voices. If Cao Cao is killed, I guess there will be no one who stands up and says a few fair words for him.

"How can I easily defeat Pengcheng?"

"Use water." Guo Jia said carelessly: "Since the general is a dragon, of course we must make good use of the water. Pengcheng is in the Sishui River and the Bian River converge. If a weir is built and water accumulates, and soaked for a few months, Pengcheng will collapse without fighting."

Cao Cao laughed silently. This idea was good, but it was not that the water attack was effective, but that the water attack could give him an excuse to avoid strong attacks and delay time. The flow of Sishui and Bian River is not small, but if you want to build a Changyan that surrounds Pengcheng, it is still not a major project that can be completed in one or two months. In this way, he can not only avoid the losses of strong attacks, but also have sufficient reasons to say that he did not have passive and lazy battles.

"I'm afraid the leader can't wait." Cao Cao sighed: "If someone says in front of him that I delayed the fighter plane, what should I do?"

"This is simple, just to lose money and eliminate disasters."

Cao Cao understood it. Guo Tu, Xu You and others around Yuan Shao lived in a foreign land, and the expenses were very high. If they could give them some money, they would be willing to help him speak a few good words in front of Yuan Shao. As for the money, of course, the wool came from the sheep, and they had to be exploited from the people of Xuzhou in the end, and maybe they could make a lot of money.

...

On the grassland, iron cavalry clashed, people shouted, horses neighed; arrows galloped, and swords and halberds were raised at the same time.

More than 10,000 Han army cavalry galloped around the tents of the Golden Eagle Tribe, killing one Xianbei person after another in front of the horse.

This is the fourth central Xianbei tribe that Liu Bian led his army to siege in the past few days.

The Xianbei tribes gathered in Danhan Mountain to prepare to divide the equipment of more than 10,000 Han army brought by Liu Bian, and wrote their names on the honor list for defeating the Han emperor. Most of the main forces of the Xianbei tribes in the eastern and central areas went to Danhan Mountain. There were only a small number of troops and some old and weak in the tribe. Faced with the Han army that suddenly came from the west, they could not organize a decent resistance and were soon killed by Liu Bian to defeat the army.

According to Liu Bian's request, every time a tribe was scattered, all the men were killed, all the best war horses were kidnapped, and cattle and sheep were given to the Han people who were abducted by the Xianbei people. They would take them away if they were willing to take them back to Senei, and kill them all if they couldn't take them away. Before leaving, they set a fire and burned all the tents and furs. Wherever they went, there were sorrows everywhere, blood was flowing all over the ground, and cried. It was simply a hell on earth, and it was unbearable to witness it.

As Liu Bian moved forward quickly, more than a thousand Han people following behind to pick up trophy. Looking at the rich trophy and the Xianbei women crying and shouting, almost all the Han people were moved. Except for the old and weak who really had no energy to follow the army, most of the young people stepped on the war horses and followed Liu Bian's army closely. They might not be able to ride on horseback to charge and fight, but there was no problem with using horses to make transportation.

Before they knew it, they became Liu Bian's extra-staff logistics force. Every night, young people would bring young and beautiful Xianbei female slaves to the military camp to comfort the soldiers and see if there was any possibility of joining the army. Some even started business with the soldiers, accepted the entrustment of the meritorious soldiers, brought their spoils back to Senei, and then received a symbolic commission.

After several sweeps, almost no one opposed Liu Bian's cruel orders. They knew that this was the effective way to kill the Xianbei people and not delay the trip. Those rich spoils brought back to Sene by the Han people will also alleviate the problem of food shortage in the border counties, and at least last until the beginning of next spring. As for the life and death of the Xianbei people, few people care about it.

Because the Xianbei people never cared about the life and death of the Han people. Except for a very few Han people captured on the grassland, they basically became slaves, living a miserable life that was worse than pigs and dogs, and life was worse than death. At this moment, Liu Bian saved them and governed the Xianbei people with the way of the Xianbei people, which was natural.

After seeing the living conditions of countless Han slaves, even the soft-hearted Cai Yan accepted Liu Bian's attitude of being too tit-for-tat. In the "Grassland Wars" she wrote every day, Liu Bian's image finally became brighter.

But she didn't know that for this period of time, Liu Bian's heart had been sinking, sinking towards endless darkness.

The weather is getting colder and the north wind is getting tighter and tighter. A heavy snow may come at any time. As time goes by, when Ke Ju arrives at Danhan Mountain and the main forces of the Xianbei tribes return to the rescue, the battle he faces will become more and more cruel.
