Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 162 Battle of Gambling Luck

"Bang~"

The exquisite lacquerware was thrown to the floor. Yuan Shu was still a little dissatisfied. He kicked over the table and calmed down a little.

"Lu Bu? Who is it?" Yuan Shu's expression was a bit like a smile, but also a bit like a mockery. He took the edict that the attendant picked up from the ground and read it again, and then looked at the court Wen Wu Dao: "You have no plans, you are a fool, you are a bastard in Jiuyuan." , from a lowly background, he... actually wants to attack me!?"

As if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, Yuan Shu looked at the crowd who bowed their heads and said silently: "I don't know where he got all this courage. However, this battle must not only be fought, but also Chang'an must be conquered in one fell swoop. Let Lu Bu know what to do." orthodox!"

"Lord!" Yang Hong was startled by this last sentence and bowed: "Lü Bu sent troops this time because my lord detained the imperial envoy Ma Rixi. As I see it..."

He originally wanted to hand over Ma Rixi and settle the matter, but seeing Yuan Shu's cold eyes, Yang Hong sighed and said to Yuan Shu: "But we have announced that we are just inviting Master Ma to be a guest in Shouchun, and there is no intention to detain him. It's best If you can ask Taifu Ma to come forward and spread the word, if Lu Bu doesn't retreat, he will be an unjust master. When the time comes, we will send out troops to attack again, and we will be justified!"

"Oh?" Yuan Shu looked at Yang Hong and walked towards him slowly: "I just don't obey my words, so I will lose this battle!?"

"This..." Yang Hong was not sure.

Is Yuan Shu stupid? Of course it is impossible. No one who can be a prince is a fool. But as the actual number one prince in the world, Yuan Shu naturally has his own ambitions in his heart!

The Han Dynasty has declined, and the Yuan family is the first and second largest princes in the world. The other princes are also dependent on the second Yuan. Doesn't this mean that the world belongs to the second Yuan?

And now Yuan Shao has to unite with Cao Cao and Liu Biao to barely fight against him. It is only a matter of time that the Yuan family replaces the Liu family and becomes the master of the world. The only uncertainty is the time.

By detaining Ma Rixi this time, Yuan Shu was not only testing the reaction of the court, but also testing the reaction of the people in the world. It was also for this reason that Yuan Shu was very angry when Lu Bu so directly mobilized troops.

I slapped the Liu family in the face, why did you, a fool, come out to accuse me?

From Yuan Shu's point of view, it is obvious that this so-called righteousness is not accurate. Even if he does not have righteousness in his hands, as the number one prince in the world, isn't it easy to deal with Lu Bu?

In terms of population, military strength, money and food, which aspect of Lu Bu is Yuan Shu's opponent? The only advantage is that I can fight, but if you offer 100,000, how about I offer 200,000 or 300,000?

Moreover, Yuan Shu was very suspicious that Lu Bu's so-called 100,000-strong army was just an imaginary number. He did not have a 100,000-strong army at all. However, Yuan Shu could mobilize an army of 200,000 troops at any time to fight against Lu Bu. This was why Yuan Shu did not include anyone. The imperial court takes the confidence seriously. Looking at the world, which prince has this ability?

Only Yuan Shu has this ability.

"Lord!" Seeing Yang Hong being silenced by Yuan Shu, Yan Xiang stepped forward and saluted Yuan Shu: "Even if we have to send troops, I thought that when I fight with Lu Bu, I can send someone to Guanzhong to contact him secretly. The gentry in Guanzhong and the hundreds of officials in Chaozhong!”

Yuan Shu frowned when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

"Lü Bu was able to intimidate Guanzhong because he used force to subdue the gentry in Guanzhong and the officials in the court. According to the scholars who escaped from Guanzhong, Lu Bu bullied the gentry in Guanzhong, which can be said to be the outrage of both humans and gods. Now Lu Bu's main force is heading to Nanyang to fight with our army. At this time, if the scholars in the rear can join forces with our army, in such a difficult situation both internally and externally, not only can Lu Bu be able to win a battle, but the lord can also take advantage of the situation and enter the pass to serve as the emperor and command the princes!" Yan Xiang said with a smile.

Yuan Shu nodded, this was a good idea. Although the last thing about serving the emperor to order the princes made him somewhat unhappy, this time Lu Bu's incident also made Yuan Shu understand that some things should not be taken too hastily, so just do it.

Yang Hong vaguely felt that something was wrong. Even if what Yan Xiang said came true, Yuan Shu almost cut across the southeast, and his power became a line, from Chang'an to Huainan, and there were other princes on both sides. Once the other princes unite, it will be difficult to control the head and tail. It may even be cut off directly by someone!

Of course, the most important question now is not this, but how to win this battle. Zhang Xun, the governor of Nanyang, has sent news that Lu Bu's army has reached Shangluo and may have passed through Wuguan at this time. They must also mobilize their troops as soon as possible. Fight against Lu Bu.

In this regard, Yuan Shu didn't say much, and directly mobilized 150,000 troops, combined with the 50,000 troops stationed in Nanyang, a total of 200,000 troops to fight against Lu Bu.

Generals Ji Ling, Chen Lan, Lei Bo, Liu Xun, and Qiao Rui each led a group of soldiers and horses, and they were divided into five groups and worked with Zhang Xun from five directions to intercept Lu Bu. It would be best to keep Lu Bu in Nanyang forever.

Yuan Shu raised an army of 200,000 people, claiming to the outside world that an army of 500,000 people was fighting against Lu Bu. For a while, the whole world was in an uproar. Cao Cao was busy conquering the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, and only supported Lu Bu in terms of momentum. Yuan Shao was now in a state of distress due to Gongsun Zan, and he also supported the imperial court. As for sending troops It's impossible to help Lu Bu share the pressure.

At the same time, princes from all walks of life in the world are also watching this battle silently.

In fact, if Lu Bu did not pursue the matter of Ma Rixi being detained by Yuan Shu, although it would further reduce the dignity of the Han Dynasty, it would not cause such a big trouble.

But Lu Bu wanted to use this battle to eliminate his dissidents, and Yuan Shu wanted to use this battle to show his power and let the princes of the world see how powerful he was. With the silent promotion of the two, this battle became a battle related to the future of the world.

Lu Bu's victory will not only restore the prestige of the court, but more importantly, Lu Bu will have greater power and greater control over the court. At the same time, he will be able to survive on a large amount of territory and population. In contrast, Yuan Shu is now at the peak of his power. It will pass. Although it is still strong, it will no longer be scary and will become the target of public criticism.

If Yuan Shu wins, Lu Bu will naturally be beyond redemption, and Yuan Shu's momentum will reach a new peak. At the same time, the majesty of the Han Dynasty may also be lost in this battle!

This is a battle of luck, so although Yuan Shu said he looked down on Lu Bu, in fact, all his generals came out!

Wujun, Fuchun.

Sun Ce has been honoring his father's filial piety since returning to his hometown. Although the Sun family suffered heavy losses in this battle, and only Sun Ce came back alive in the end, because of this, the Sun family received a lot of care, and it was not as miserable as imagined.

Naturally, the news that Yuan Shu was about to fight Lu Bu could not be hidden from Sun Ce.

"I thought you would actively ask for a fight!" Next to Sun Ce, the person speaking was a handsome young man who was also Sun Ce's childhood friend, Zhou Yu. Today, he came to reminisce with Sun Ce. Seeing Sun Ce's appearance, he couldn't help laughing.

The hatred between Sun Ce and Lu Bu can be said to be irreconcilable. Although Sun Ce is still keeping his filial piety, if he wants to deal with Lu Bu, everyone should understand that Sun Ce wants to fight.

"Why go to a losing battle?" Sun Ce sat silently in front of his father's grave, looking into the distance and sighing.

"Yes, if your eyes are not blinded by hatred, this is the courage of a person who achieves great things!" Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce with satisfaction and laughed.

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu. He actually preferred that Yuan Shu would win. If Lu Bu won the final victory, his power would inevitably grow stronger, and it would be even more difficult for him to seek revenge.

Seeing his mood, Zhou Yu sighed in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Tell me, why is Yuan Shu defeated?"

"If you use your ministers to attack your king, how can you win if the weather is lacking and people's hearts are not aligned?" Sun Ce sighed.

"But he has many soldiers and generals, and he is on the defensive!" Zhou Yu reminded.

"If you have more soldiers and more generals, you will definitely win? Then Xiang Yu didn't sink the boat back then." Sun Ce shook his head and looked at Zhou Yu, knowing that he was caring about him, so he forced a smile and said: "Yuan Shu has no experience in commanding ten thousand people in a battle. Watching him In the past, he was not a handsome man, and having more people than him may not be a good thing. On the other hand, Lu Bu, since Hulao Pass became famous, has fought against the princes of the world several times, and once forced a hundred thousand troops to advance and retreat!"

After a pause, Sun Ce continued: "After entering Guanzhong, Ma Tenghan and Han Sui stayed in Xiliang for more than ten years. The imperial court failed to defeat him, but he was defeated in one battle. After Dong Zhuo died, he served as a guest general. He surrendered the Xiliang generals and gathered the Xiliang army to counterattack Chang'an. Although he didn't want to admit it, in terms of commander's ability, this person was far superior to Yuan Shu. Lu Bu could command an army of 100,000 people with ease, but Yuan Shu and his subordinates did not have the same ability. The talent of a general!"

"What Bo Fu said is true. If Yuan Shu divides his troops, Lu Bu will defeat them one by one. If he doesn't divide his troops, Yuan Shu will be defeated by an army of 200,000!" Zhou Yu sat next to Sun Ce, shook his head and sighed: "Lü Bu should not be underestimated. Look at it!"

Sun Ce nodded. Although he was an enemy, he had no right to look down on him.

"Since you know you will lose, why not take this opportunity to get some benefits from Yuan Shu to start your own business in the future?" Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce and said with a smile.

"Gong Jin is saying..." Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu, a little confused.

"Please go out for the war. Don't go to the front line. Just guard the grain road in the Zhongyang Mountain area. When Yuan Shu's army is defeated, come to the rescue. Firstly, it will make Yuan Shu owe some favors, and he will be able to ask for help when borrowing troops in the future. Secondly, I will be able to make friends with Yuan Shu's generals!" At the end of the sentence, Zhou Yu raised his handsome sword eyebrows, some things can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

Although Sun Ce was depressed, he was amused by Zhou Yu's appearance and nodded: "Okay, I will write a letter to dissuade Yuan Shu from sending troops!"

"Persuade?" Zhou Yu was startled at first, then realized what he was doing. He turned to look at Sun Ce, who had a solemn look on his face. He shook his head and said in surprise: "This is not the Sun Lang I know. Where is my Sun Lang? You're here sooner than I am!"

Sun Ce said disdainfully: "You are too young and don't realize the dangers of people's hearts!"

"Oh haha~" Zhou Yu took two steps back, looked Sun Ce up and down, and sighed: "It's not me who doesn't know the dangers of people's hearts, but I never thought that you were the one who lied to me..."

Sun Ce was speechless looking at Zhou Yu's appearance, but the haze that had been suppressed in his heart since Sun Jian's death gradually dissipated. He gave Zhou Yu a hard blow and said, "Thank you!"

"Between you and me, why should we say thank you?" Zhou Yu rubbed his chest, shook his head and smiled: "Do you still remember the agreement you and I made in the past? Now the good opportunity has arrived!"

"I think so too!"
