Lu Bu's lightning action seemed to throw a huge rock into a calm pond, which immediately triggered the situation in Jizhou. The waves that aroused hit the hearts of all the princes and the expectations of countless players.

Then Lu Bu issued a manifesto, counting Han Fu's alleged crimes and calling on all heroes in the world to fight against him.

The manifesto was only two days after it was issued, and Lu Bu, who was in charge of the command of the besieging Puyang, received an edict from the Chang'an court, formally ordered Lu Bu to attack Han Fu. This made Lu Bu just right, but what Lu Bu cares more was that the young emperor in Ji County seemed to be too slow to act and did not cooperate with his actions immediately, but instead let Chang'an rush ahead.

"Re-Qing, will this edict be made public?"

"Of course, it cannot be made public. The general does not need to pay attention to this edict. Whether or not the edict or not will not affect our actions. The key is that the edict of the Chang'an court will definitely send it to Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan at the same time. I am afraid that General Zhang Liao will also receive it. No one cares about it, but our people do not have to obey the edict. We must wait for the edict from Ji County."

Pang Yuan clearly asked Lu Bu to refuse the Chang'an court to win over. This is very important. The emperor of Ji County may return to Lu Bu's side, but it will be difficult for the emperor of Chang'an to come to Lu Bu's side.

However, Lu Bu has always been the banner of the royalist sect, so he must not sway easily, otherwise he will lose his heart.

"But I won't issue an edict for a day"

Pang Yuan saw Lu Bu who was a little worried about gains and losses, and Lu Bu was always Lu Bu. It is difficult for a person with a temperament to become a cold-blooded and ruthless politician. Although this is somewhat different from Pang Yuan's expectations. But from a personal perspective, Pang Yuan must prefer Lu Bu like this, or Lu Bu's subordinates also have the same view. This personality is precisely the charm of Lu Bu. If he really becomes a cold-blooded politician, or the scene of being betrayal of his relatives and relatives, it might be possible.

Even with Pang Yuan's intelligence and talent, it is impossible to understand the gains and losses. Pang Yuan smiled faintly:

"General, don't worry. The edict from the Jixian court will be delivered soon. The reason why it is too late is probably because the young emperor wants to see the general's idea. As long as the general does not obey the edict from the Chang'an court, the edict of the young emperor will come soon. Besides, what if it doesn't come? Or the Jixian court is now under pressure from Miyun. As long as the Jixian court does not say that the general's edict is corrected, it is support for the general!"

Lu Bu thought about it and nodded suddenly. Or the latter reason Pang Yuan said was more likely. Miyun would definitely put pressure on the Jixian court out of the idea of ​​stabilizing the situation in Jizhou. If Jixian could withstand the pressure of Miyun and not publicly declare that his behavior was a corrective order, it would be equivalent to indirectly admitting Lu Bu's manifesto.

"What Fuqing said is very much. So what should we do next? Will we continue to attack Puyang?"

"No, Puyang needs to maintain pressure. On the other hand, the lord should wander between Lihu, Puyang and Yingcheng, and act as if he was ready to fight for help."

"Huh? Since we want to fight for support, why do we deliberately let the other party know?"

"Haha, it naturally makes the other party hesitate. If the general was in Han Fu's position, how would he view Puyang's position now? How would he view our army's purpose of besieging Puyang? How would he resolve the current crisis?"

"The status of Puyang? Relieve the crisis? If I were to make the decision, I would naturally gather heavy troops to fight the enemy in Puyang, and the outcome will be decided by one battle!"

"Haha, the general's idea is very direct, but it takes a decisive battle to start when he is confident. If he is already at a local disadvantage, he still insists on carrying out a decisive battle. Such a heavy gambling is obviously not a choice that a politician should have."

"What should I do?" Lu Bu was not unhappy with Pang Yuan's rebuttal, but instead asked with a hint of embarrassment, looking like a good student.

"For Han Fu, Puyang was originally an entry point for interfering in the Central Plains and mobilizing the forces of all parties in the Central Plains. After Han Fu obtained Dongping County and Jibei Kingdom, Puyang's status was a bit insignificant. At most, it was a bridgehead to restrain our army. Now our army is actively attacking. From that strategic point of view, it should be an action to remove the opponent's strategic deterrence node and restore the strategic balance of power. If I were Han Fu, then I would voluntarily give up Dongjun, including Puyang and Yingcheng, try every means to make peace with the general, and then conspire with Yuan Shao."

Lu Bu frowned and thought carefully about Pang Yuan's plan. If Han Fu took the initiative to make peace with him according to Pang Yuan's plan, Lu Bu might really agree. Anyway, for Lu Bu, it is the same for Lu Bu to join forces with Yuan Shao to fight Han Fu or Han Fu to fight Yuan Shao. The purpose is to completely destroy the strategic balance of Jizhou, and then cause the imbalance in the Central Plains through the imbalance in Jizhou, and finally trigger the reshuffle of the entire Central Plains.

"Fuqing is right, it's not impossible to cooperate with Han Fu to attack Yuan Shao!"

"Haha, yes, but Han Fu probably won't do that."

"Why? Han Fu also has a wise man like Ju Shu under him. Can't you see the mystery here?"

"Ju Su can definitely see the problem here, but Ju Su can see that it does not mean that Han Fu will use it. Now we hope that Ju Su and Han Fu have a gap. Yuan Shao also hopes so much, and he has been doing this. Just now, his subordinates suggested that the general be guerrilla outside, even if the purpose is to create a gap between Han Fu and Ju Su."

Lu Bu was surprised. Can such a simple thing be able to achieve the purpose of alienating Han Fu and Ju Zuzhu's slave relationship? If it can really work, it would be too magical. Lu Bu thought it deeper and couldn't help but feel a little scared. He couldn't feel how this kind of thing was done. So, does it mean that he would easily fall into a trap? What a terrible thing!

“That’s how it can be done?”

Looking at the expression on Lu Bu's face, Pang Yuan nodded secretly. It seemed that Lu Bu already understood that relying on martial arts alone would not work.

"Of course, as the general was just worried. Since our army wanted to fight aid, why did we take the initiative to show our intentions? In this way, Han Fu would think it was strange. But Puyang had to save him, so he would urge Ju Su and Qu Yi. However, Ju Su would definitely see that our army was indeed going to fight aid, and there was no need to save Puyang. Now what should be done is not war, but negotiation. In this case, the opinions of Ju Su and Han Fu would be opposed. Han Fu would think that Ju Su was deliberately afraid of war and negligence. If someone made a statement in Han Fu's ear at this time, the matter would be irreversible."

Lu Bu thought carefully about the cleverness of this. After a long time, he sighed: "I understand that Fuqing is calculating people's hearts! People's hearts are treacherous, and it is true that Fuqing can calculate it like this."

"Haha. The general praised it. This level is just the basis of an excellent strategist. It is not worthy of praise from the general. But the general should pay attention to it. I count as a person, and people are also me! The general should always be vigilant in his heart and not have unnecessary doubts. If there is any doubt, then you might as well ask straightforwardly. In this way, all conspiracies will naturally fail, and conspiracies will always be invisible."

"I've been taught! Then Fuqing still needs to find a villain who slandered Han Fu."

"Haha. Although this kind of villain is despicable, sometimes we really cannot lack such people! However, we don't need to do this kind of thing. If we want to find the right person around Han Fu, we cannot succeed in a day or two. I believe Yuan Shao has already made arrangements. As long as we send a letter to Yuan Shao and ask Yuan Shao to do such things, it is much more efficient than us!"

Lu Bu slapped the table and praised: "Great kindness! Fuqing is really able to command our enemies and opponents to follow your arrangements to act. It's amazing!"

"General, this is just like going with the flow. As long as we find the key points of things and understand the demands and weaknesses of our opponents and enemies, we can skillfully use them."

"I'm talking lightly. If you want to do this, a certain family will not be able to do it. I have never seen anyone who can do it. Fuqing is really the arm of a certain family! Haha."

"Lord, my subordinates think that this matter is feasible. We are just letting people make suggestions in front of Han Fu. If this matter is done, Han Fu's army will fight Lu Bu in Puyang, no matter who wins or loses, it will be beneficial to our army!"

Yuan Shao nodded. There was nothing to say about Pang Ji this time. This truth is too obvious and everyone can see it.

Geng Bao also nodded in agreement, and Xu You also nodded in his beard, surprisingly not stomping on Jiang Ji.

"What Yuantu says is reasonable, what do you think?"

Xu You shook his head and said, "This truth is very obvious. Han Fu and Lu Bu are fighting each other, and our army cannot ask for it! However, Lu Bu's intention is not so simple. I think he is planning very much!"

Yuan Shao looked stern, put away the smile on his face and asked, "What's the plan for Lu Bu?"

"There is nothing else, just the word "chao"!"

"Is it true that Ziyuan said that Lu Bu hopes to lure Han Fu to the south, and then mobilize our army and Zhang Jiao to divide Han Fu and break the strategic balance of Jizhou?"

Chen Lin's statement surprised everyone, and then they thought about this possibility and the serious consequences that might be caused.

"That's right, it is precisely this purpose that triggers the war in Jizhou. If our army is defeated, there is no need to say anything. If our army wins, Lu Bu will take the opportunity to divide Han Fu with our army and Zhang Jiao. Later, Jizhou will become a situation of one mountain and two tigers. There will be no restraint between Zhang Jiao and our army, and the battle will be inevitable. If our army does not participate, Lu Bu will join forces with Zhang Jiao to attack our army, and the result will be the same. In the end, Lu Bu just wants to wait and get a bargain!"

Yuan Shao nodded, everyone's faces were not very good-looking, and this situation seemed to be inevitable. Yuan Shao raised his head and laughed: "People are me, but I am also human. How could he not know that Lu Bu's actions will only fulfill me! As long as our army takes this opportunity to unify Jizhou and not lose much combat power, Lu Bu will not lose all the rice. At that time, our army will take advantage of the victory and attack Lu Bu! Haha."

The ministers looked at each other and their eyes lit up. Yes, this is a crisis, but it is also an opportunity. Xu You also nodded with his beard with a smile.
