Guo Jia did not deny it and replied, "Minister of the Imperial Clan and I hit it off immediately and we had a great conversation."
"Good!"
Yuan Shang was overjoyed, patted Guo Jia heavily on the shoulder and said, "Being able to have a good relationship with the Minister of the Imperial Clan will be a huge benefit without any harm!"
"Sir, I will have more interactions with the Minister of the Imperial Clan in the future. Maybe one day I can win him over and become my helper!"
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Third Young Master Don't worry."
Of course he will interact with Jia Xu a lot in the future.
But not for you.
However, Yuan Shang, who was immersed in joy, did not notice Guo Jia's deep eyes at all.
The sun hanging on the top of the mountain in the distance slowly set, and the falling sun stretched Guo Jia's shadow very long, shrouding Yuan Shang's entire body in it.
Chapter 85 High-spirited Lü Fengxian
Yang Province, Zhongli.
As one of the important towns of Yang Province, the top of Zhongli City is now covered with military flags with the word "Lu".
At this time, the City Gate was wide open on all sides, and teams of Soldiers entered it in an orderly manner, continuously moving Grain and Fodder and materials out of the city and transporting them to Military Camp not far away.
"Zhongli County is indeed a big county, it is really rich!"
On City Gate Tower, Lü Bu looked at the mountains of supplies in Military Camp and couldn't help but sigh.
Zhongli County is an important barrier for Shou County. Yuan Shu has deployed heavy troops here and ordered generals Han Xian and Yang Feng to guard here.
There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the city, and there are Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui rushing to help at any time. The entire Cities can be said to be impregnable.
However, under Lü Bu's alienation plan, two generals, Han Xian and Yang Feng, rebelled against Yuan Shu, allowing him to win the battle without any effort. Zhongli County; Then he waited for work and led the troops to repel the armies of Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui who came to help, causing Yuan Shu to suffer heavy losses.
This is an out-and-out victory!
At this time, City Gate Tower, Liu Bei, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou are all present.
After hearing what Lü Bu said, Yan Liang and Wen Chou and the other two looked at each other, both of them looking unhappy.
This time they attacked Zhongli County because they were worried about heavy damage, so they did not make any effort. Who knew that Lü Bu used a alienation tactic and easily captured Zhongli County.
Now that Lü Bu has obtained an entire supply of Zhongli County, it has also added tens of thousands of troops, greatly increasing its strength!
"If I had known this, I should have sent troops. At least some of the supplies could be divided up, so that nothing could be harvested!"
Yan Liang felt extremely regretful.
Cities belongs to whoever captures it. This is the rule set by the three-way military alliance. If a Cities is captured together, the benefits will be divided according to the amount of effort.
Winning Zhongli County this time was the result of Lü Bu alone.
They are not qualified to share the benefits.
Compared with the regret and jealousy of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Liu Bei is much calmer. He and Lü Bu have already reached an alliance in private, and Lü Bu's increased strength will not hurt him.
The two of them didn't know how to talk, but they turned from former enemies into allies.
So much so that Yan Liang and Wen Chou never thought about this aspect at all. In order to suppress Lü Bu, he also went out of his way to help Liu Bei a lot.
"Now that Zhongli County has been captured, the next step is to get through the Huai River and attack Shou County."
"General, do you have any plans next?"
Liu Bei looked at Lü Bu with a smile on his face.
"Plan? Where do you need a plan!"
Lü Bu waved his hand and said without thinking, "As soon as Grain and Fodder is ready and the army is reorganized, we will directly cross the river for a decisive battle!"
"That's when Yuan Shu Pretender Emperor will die!"
At this stage, there is no need for any tactics. The three-way coalition has reached Huai River, and the next step is to cross the river for a general attack!
Lü Bu can't wait to break into Shou County, capture Yuan Shu and Rebel, and take his head to claim credit from Son of Heaven!
But Wen Chou suddenly said, "The general offensive needs to be postponed. We, Grain and Fodder, are not ready yet, and we are temporarily unable to cross the river to fight Pretender Emperor. We need to wait for some time."
Wen Chou This is half true and half false.
Ji Province Army came to attack Yang Province, which was a long-term operation. Logistics Grain and Fodder was not easy to transport, and the army casualties were also quite large.
The most important thing is that the attack on Yang Province Lü Bu was too fierce. Basically, the important Cities was conquered by him, so he attacked Yang Province Lü Bu with more and more force, while Ji Province Army basically did not gain any benefits.
Next, there was a decisive battle with Yuan Shu. Yan Liang and Wen Chou didn't want to contribute. He wanted Lü Bu to be the main force and play a game of snipe and clam to win.
"What do you two mean by this?"
When Lü Bu heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he looked at Yan Liang and Wen Chou with eager eyes.
"Pretender Emperor will not surrender to Son of Heaven, and everyone will kill him. Now that the decisive battle is imminent, you two do not want to join the battle. Could it be that you want to retreat?"
Who is Lü Bu?
When he stared at them, Yan Liang and Wen Chou felt as if they were being targeted by a predator, and the hairs all over their bodies stood on end.
Although he was always dissatisfied with his words, he was convinced in his heart.
They have seen Lü Bu's bravery these days and were frightened by its ferocious power. Yan Liang quickly replied, "Marquis of Wen misunderstood. It's really because Grain and Fodder has not been shipped yet, so we need to wait."
"Hmph! It's just Grain and Fodder, I'll just lend it to you, general!"
Lü Bu snorted, ruthlessly exposing their reason, and then asked again, "There are no other problems now, right?"
After obtaining Zhongli County's supplies, Lü Bu now has enough Grain and Fodder in his hands, so supplying Three Armies will not be a problem at all.
Although he was reckless, he was not stupid. How could he let Ji Province Army watch the show from behind while he went to fight Yuan Shu himself.
"No, no problem..."
Yan Liang glanced at Sky-Piercer Halberd with cold light flashing in Lü Bu's hand, and could only answer bravely.
Lü Bu then smiled again.
At this time, he suddenly looked over and saw the smoke and dust on the other side of the Huai River slowly rising, as if there was a large army rushing towards him, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Before he could call someone over to inquire, Chen Gong walked up to City Gate Tower and reported to him, "General, Pretender Emperor Yuan Shu personally led the army to the Huai River!"
"Looks like they want to stop us from getting through the Huai River!"
Once Huai River passes, Shou County will no longer be in danger.
Yuan Shu actually led his troops to resist the coalition forces!
However, Lü Bu was not worried when he heard this. Instead, he looked excited and laughed, "Okay, okay! I'm worried that he won't come!"
"Come here! Send my order to the general! Let Three Armies Soldiers gather at the shore. This general will humiliate Pretender Emperor!"
After saying that, Lü Bu picked up his halberd and walked down City Gate Tower.
Everyone saw this and followed him one after another.
An hour later, the army assembled on the shore of the Huai River and set up an array, while Bu rode Red Hare to the front of the array.
Glancing at the Yuan Shu army on the other side of the river, Lü Bu Great Ji waved his hand and ordered, "Shout!"
"No!"
The flag bearer received the order and began to wave Banner to show the flag.
Soon Three Armies Soldiers started shouting in unison.
"Cross Huai River! Capture Pretender Emperor!"
"Cross Huai River! Capture Pretender Emperor!"
"Cross Huai River! Capture Pretender Emperor!"
Tens of Thousands of Troops shouted in unison, the sound shook the whole world!
Even across the wide Huai River, Yuan Shu army, they can still hear it clearly!
At this moment, Yuan Shu on the other side of the river, who was originally wondering why Lü Bu had gathered an army, suddenly heard this and was furious!
"Lü Bu! I swear to kill you!"
Yuan Shu cursed angrily, grabbed Great General Ji Ling beside him, gritted his teeth and said, "Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow quickly!"
"Shoot all those Rebels to death!"
Ji Ling looked bitter and replied carefully, "Your Majesty, the wind is strong on the river, even the best Bow and Arrows hand can't shoot across it."
"Ah ah ah! I'm so angry--!"
Yuan Shu was so furious that he ran directly to the river bank and roared angrily, "Lü Bu! You are trying to alienate my subordinate Great General! What kind of skills do you have!"
"Hurry across the river and fight me to the death!"
On the Huai Hebei shore, Lü Bu also heard Yuan Shu's scolding, and couldn't help laughing. He rode his horse to the shore and said with pride, "Emissary has been allowed to come and go since ancient times. The divorce plan is not original to me, Lü Bu. Why can't I use it?"
"I, Son of Heaven of Great Han, am the real orthodoxy in the world! Your subordinate Soldiers abandons you, that is called abandoning darkness and turning to light!"
"Yuan Shu Old Thief! Stop talking nonsense here! Go back and wash your neck quickly, and wait for me, the general, to come over and kill you!"
After saying this, Lü Bu ignored the furious Yuan Shu on the other side of the river and rode back laughing.
This feeling of standing on the moral high ground and angrily blaming his opponents was something he had never experienced before when he followed Dong Zhuo.
I just feel my heart is surging and my spirits are high.
Chapter 86 Get me Iron-Gall Great Bow
After Lü Bu cursed, Yuan Shu also ordered the soldiers to provoke and insult Lü Bu on the shore in an attempt to provoke Lü Bu into ordering an attack.
But how could Lü Bu be fooled like this?
