Chapter 332 Cat and Mouse

Yuan Xi always felt that Lu Bu simply had no brains and no ambition, so he did the thing of killing the leader twice.

As long as Lu Bu is a little ambitious, he will only cherish his reputation and feathers even more. Even if he wants to kill his master, he will not do it himself to avoid being criticized by the world.

Just like when Sima was compiling the Wei Dynasty, he also wanted to find Cheng Ji as a scapegoat. How could there be any reason for Sima Zhao to personally go into battle to kill the emperor?

The reason why the Sima family was criticized in later generations was not because of killing the emperor, but because he brought the matter of killing the emperor to the surface. This severely tore off the last fig leaf for the nobles who coveted the throne and took it upon themselves to stand up again.

.

There were many killings of emperors in the Han Dynasty. Empress Lu killed Liu Gong, Li Song killed Liu Ying, Liang Ji poisoned Emperor Liu Zan, and Dong Zhuo poisoned the young emperor Liu Bian. Which of the people who were ordered to do it died?

If the person who followed orders is killed, who will serve the master wholeheartedly in the future?

It is said that Cheng Ji's crime of killing the emperor was not punishable, but the main reason for his death was still stupidity.

It is okay to kill the emperor, but he will be imprisoned in a deep palace, given a glass of poisoned wine, and will die without evidence.

However, Cheng Ji, as the crown prince's successor and the person who should be most loyal to the emperor, risked the world's disapproval and killed the emperor, who was a student, in the street. This completely exposed the intentions of the Sima family behind him, and he became the most ordered killer since the Han Dynasty.

The emperor is the only person who is known as an upright example and will be infamy for thousands of years.

Of course, the consequence of this incident is that no one in the world believes in Sima's words anymore, so that the credibility of the imperial authority of the two Jin Dynasties is the weakest.

Again, there are many people who do bad things, but they must at least be hidden from others and cannot be done openly.

Lu Bu's problem is that he, like Cheng Ji, is the one who should not do it personally, but he does it in public, and is seen by everyone in the world.

Lu Bu is now in an extremely embarrassing situation. His reputation has reached rock bottom and few people are willing to join forces with him, so he actually has very few options to choose from.

Therefore, the reason why Yuan Xi took the risk and directly sent troops to Hanoi was to bet that Lu Bu would have to rely on the emperor Liu Xie in the end.

Only Liu Xie, the emperor, can help clear up Lu Bu's name. As long as Liu Xie gets back his power, he can order the world to say that Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo are all rebellious officials and traitors. Lu Bu acted on the orders of the emperor. Only in this way can Lu Bu

Clean up the stigma.

In addition, all the princes in the world could not do it. Even if Yuan Shu became emperor and conquered the world, Lu Bu would still bear the reputation of killing his lord.

So Yuan Xi bets that Lu Bu can use his brain, recognize the reality, and make the best choice for himself.

Of course, there is also a variable, which is Chen Gong.

Chen Gong had his own ideas. He assisted Lu Bu from another standpoint. He actually didn't care about Lu Bu's reputation.

From Chen Gong's point of view, Lu Bu had betrayed his master twice, so he should not have any psychological pressure as he followed the rebel Yuan Shu.

But Chen Gong ignored one point. Lu Bu also wanted to face others, especially those who had done wrong things, but they would care more about their reputation.

After Yuan Xi and Zhao Yun finished talking about Lu Bu's psychology, Zhao Yun finally wanted to clarify the origin and background of the whole incident. He pondered for a long time and said: "I generally understand Lu Bu's thoughts, but there is still another force that may cause harm.

variable."

"Cao Cao of Yanzhou should have similar thoughts. Will he join forces with Lu Bu to squeeze us out?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Brother, this is a good question."

"This is actually the most troublesome."

"But sooner or later Cao Cao will take power, and Lu Bu will be a thorn in his side."

"Before this, our power was the weakest. We could only compromise and cannot confront Cao Cao head-on. After all, we are too far away from Hanoi, and Cao Cao is only a Chenliu County away from Hanoi."

"We must rush to welcome the emperor before Cao Cao captures Chenliu, and then use the emperor's edict to make Cao Cao stop. This is the best way I can think of."

"In this way, the territories of Cao Cao and Lu Bu are separated by Chen Liu as a buffer, and it is inconvenient for Cao Cao to directly control the emperor."

Zhao Yun listened and said: "There is another question, why should the emperor be welcomed to Hanoi instead of Youzhou?"

Yuan Xi replied: "Because we can't eat it, just like Xuzhou."

"Anything that is a must-have in the world, whoever gets it will inevitably face the covetousness of others. With our current strength, we can only share it with others and check and balance each other."

"Besides, since we rely on the Yuan family, we naturally cannot get the emperor's complete trust, so we can only do it in another way."

"It would be best if Lu Bu could protect the emperor on his own in Hanoi, and we can get a share of the pie, but in all likelihood, Cao Cao will not let Lu Bu do what he wants."

"So the situation I can accept is that Lu Bu, Cao Cao and we will work together to check and balance and please the emperor within a few years. As for what everyone can gain from it, it depends on their own abilities."

"This matter is beneficial to everyone. The emperor can obtain a stable court situation. Several parties can rely on the emperor's edict to gain territory and achieve their own goals."

"Of course, this situation will definitely not be achieved through negotiation. I can be sure that Zilong and Gongyu will face several extremely difficult battles. Only those who survive will be qualified to sit down and negotiate."

"The White Wave Army's monopoly on the emperor has become a target of public criticism, and the negotiation chips obtained by each party depend on how much these parties can wrest from the White Wave Army."

After hearing this, Zhao Yun stared at Yuan Xi with a strange expression: "Yun still underestimated the young master."

"Young master, this plan is as good as most of the counselors in the world."

"I'm afraid that when Yun and Young Master met for the first time, Young Master was plotting against Yun, right?"

Yuan Xi said embarrassedly: "Brother, what you said is too much. Brother knows my thoughts."

Zhao Yun couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

The two talked about dressing up again, and then roughly predicted the movements of the various forces that wanted to please the emperor. Finally, Zhao Yun was relieved, clasped his fists and said: "No matter what the outcome of the matter, Yun will do what is right for the master, his conscience, and what he deserves."

People of the world."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Zilong is doing his job, I can rest assured."

"I'm waiting for my brother to come back victorious. When the time comes, he will be my brother-in-law."

Zhao Yun didn't expect that Yuan Xi would mention Yuan Xing's matter, so he couldn't help but be startled. He just thought Yuan Xi said it casually and didn't take it to heart.

At this point, Beixin City's troops were divided into three groups. In the upper group, Yuan Xi and Tian Yu led troops to pretend to attack and lure the enemy. In the middle group, Yan Rou led light cavalry to harass and wait for opportunities to attack the enemy's grain road.

On the lower road, Zhao Yun Jushou led the most elite soldiers and horses, seemingly attacking Montenegro from the south, but in fact he went straight to Hanoi, and joined forces with Lu Bu to deal with the Bai Bo army and welcome the emperor.

As for Lu Bu's thoughts, it depends on Qu Yi's performance.

This is a huge gamble, and Yuan Xi has not gambled for a long time.

But the situation in front of him no longer allowed him to make a better choice. No matter how bad the Black Mountain Army was, it could still last for a few months. By then, Cao Cao might have captured Chenliu and seized the emperor's chariot without even a scrap of food.

Leave it to Yuan Xi.

Before a war comes, all parties may not be prepared. It's not because they don't want to prepare, but because everyone in the world is making plans all the time, and the general trend of the world is changing all the time. How can there be time for people to be fully prepared?

This is the case now. It is safe for Yuan Xi to destroy the Black Mountain Army and then go to Hanoi. However, no one who covets the emperor will leave this window of opportunity for Yuan Xi, so Yuan Xi can only take risks.

Since it was an adventure, there were risks. Not to mention Zhao Yun's side, Yuan Xi, who personally lured the Montenegrin Army, encountered an unexpected and full counterattack by the Montenegrin Army in the first battle.

He didn't expect that the entire Black Mountain Army would arrive so quickly and in such large numbers, and that there would be a master Yang Feng among them who wanted to kill him!

Her marksmanship was extremely tricky, and Tian Yu commented that he was not even close to it. If Sun Li and Tian Yu hadn't tried their best to intercept her during that encounter, Yuan Xi might have died!

Thinking of this, Yuan Xi sneered in his heart, you want me to die, I want you to die!

You give me one shot, I'll give you ten shots in return, let's see who can survive in the end!

He called Sun Li and whispered a few words. Sun Li was surprised and said: "Young Master is crazy?"

"I can't protect you by myself!"

Yuan Xi shook his head and said: "Although we are bait, if the opponent fails to take the bait, the pressure on the middle and bottom lane will increase greatly, which will harm them."

"So if we have a chance, we still have to try to invade the hinterland of the Montenegrin Army. Only in this way can we attract its main force and lure Yuan Shang to take action. Only then can I have spare energy to do other things."

He pointed to the mountains and forests in the distance, where there was faint smoke rising from the kitchen, "And the prerequisite for us to be able to act with peace of mind is to get rid of this dog-skin plaster that is targeting me!"

Sun Li looked into the distance, feeling quite helpless.

The enemy is so confident.

For several days, the Montenegrin army on the opposite side seemed to be at loggerheads with this side. At first, they followed them secretly, but now they stopped pretending, and just started to make a fire and cook arrogantly from a hilltop away.

The leading female general in red would often come out and point her gun at us, provoking people with confidence.

Sun Li knew that this was putting psychological pressure on his soldiers, causing them to collapse without a fight.

During the initial encounter, the female general in red fought in and out of her own army, and finally escaped without a trace. Afterwards, the surrendered soldiers from the Montenegrin Army identified her as Yang Feng, who was one of the most powerful in the Montenegrin Army!

This puts a lot of psychological pressure on Yuan Xi's soldiers, and the other side is taking advantage of this to slowly erode Yuan Xi's fighting spirit!

If this continues for a few more days, I'm afraid the soldiers will lose their morale!

So Yuan Xi made a quick decision and told Sun Li that he was not leaving!

Right here, I had sex with the other party!

Yang Feng was sitting among the trees, closing his eyes and concentrating, when a spy came over to report: "Chief, the opposite side has begun to cut down trees and build a stronghold!"

After hearing this, Yang Feng's eyes flashed with surprise and he stopped running?

Her original intention is to play like a cat and mouse, chasing the enemy around, waiting until the opponent is exhausted and their fighting spirit is gone, and then kills the opponent with one blow.

The situation has been developing as she expected in the past two days. Both sides have climbed several mountains in the Taihang Mountains and are already a little tired. However, Yang Feng is leading elite soldiers who are from the local area and are familiar with the nearby terrain. They are obviously in better condition than the other side.

The opponent sees that he will be dragged to death by him, so he wants to fight to the death with him?

Thinking of this, Yang Feng's eyes flashed with fighting spirit. Was he being looked down upon?

She had already learned that Tian Yu, the best martial artist in the Youzhou army, had not followed. The only remaining person from a family with three-legged cat kung fu, could he stop her?

In this case, don't blame me for being rude, watch as I leave your life in this Black Mountain!
