Xu Shu said slowly, "If Cao Mengde had taken back Guangling before, he would have been counterattacked by Yuan Shu from Huainan. At this time, Yuan Shu was fighting fiercely with the Jiangdong overlord, and it was also the best time for him to take back Guangling.
If the war between the two sides prolongs, Cao Mengde may take this opportunity to continue to expand his strength, and even occupy part of Huainan to obtain the greatest benefits.
Once Yuan Shu is defeated, even if Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, takes over Huainan, Cao Mengde's strength is no longer weak, so the two can have an equal dialogue, which is more conducive to their alliance."
Xu Huang frowned, "But if Yuan Shu defeats Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, what will happen to Cao Mengde?"
Xu Shu shook his head, "Even if Yuan Shu wins, he will definitely suffer heavy losses. By then, even if he wants to deal with Cao Mengde, he may not have the strength. At this time, it is actually more beneficial for the two sides to join forces.
If Yuan Shu is strong, with his arrogance, he will never easily join forces with Cao Mengde, but if he is weak, he may join forces with Cao Mengde to protect himself."
Xu Huang nodded, "If this is the case, when they are fighting, the person we should pay attention to is not the two of them, but Cao Mengde of Xuzhou!"
Xu Shu nodded, "Yes, we should really pay attention to Cao Mengde and never let him take the opportunity to expand."
Having said this, Xu Shu turned to Lu Bu, cupped his hands, and said with a smile, "This is actually the best time for us to send troops to attack Xuzhou."
At this point, Xu Shu's tone paused, and then he continued, "I used to worry that Yuan Shu would join forces with Cao Mengde, so I prepared to take the lead in sending troops to attack Huainan. Now that Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, has restrained Yuan Shu in Huainan for us, we can use all our strength
Attacking Xuzhou, if we can completely eliminate Cao Mengde in this attack, it will be of great benefit to us."
When Lu Bu heard Xu Shu's analysis, the doubts in his heart had long since disappeared and he couldn't help laughing.
"Yuanzhi, you are indeed a great talent. It really makes me happy that such a complicated matter was solved so easily."
When Xu Shu heard Lu Bu's praise, he hurriedly handed over his hands and said slowly, "Marquis Wen, what I just said is just a guess. As for whether it can develop according to what I said, it can only depend on subsequent decisions.
But if my guess is correct, I hope Marquis Wen will send troops to attack Xuzhou as soon as possible. This is a rare opportunity and must not be missed."
After hearing this, Lu Bu laughed and nodded, "I'm sending you an order. Xuzhou and Huainan will send more spies to inquire about their movements in detail. If there is any situation, come back and report immediately."
……
After everyone left, Lu Bu also got up and returned to the backyard. After giving instructions to Zhang Hu, he walked into the study.
Lu Bu came to the table and sat down, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "Enter the game."
As the words fell, Lu Bu's eyesight went dark. By the time he resumed matters, he had already arrived at the hall of Hilltop City.
This is the exclusive place for the city lord. No one is allowed to enter without the city lord's permission. Therefore, when Lu Bu came to the room, there was no one in the room.
Lu Bu sat on a chair in the middle of the hall and shouted at the door, "Come here!"
As the words fell, King Kong ran in from outside and said, "City Lord, something bad has happened. Someone is attacking the city. The Deputy City Lord and the others have already gone."
"What?"
Lu Bu was startled when he heard King Kong's words, stood up hurriedly, and strode outside.
"Who is here this time?"
King Kong shook his head, "My subordinates were ordered to stick to the city lord's room and did not go to the city wall, so I don't know who came to attack?"
Lu Bu walked out of the city lord's palace with his guards, and Cong Cong ran towards the city wall. Before he even got close to the city wall, he could already hear shouts of killing outside the city, and he must have begun to attack the city.
When Lu Bu came to the city gate, he found that the city gate was wide open. Looking out along the city gate, he happened to see two generals fighting outside.
Seeing this scene, Lu Bu suddenly became angry and quickened his pace and ran towards the outside of the city gate.
This Li Qita, why did he go out of the city to fight?
If something happens outside, the city will be lost.
When Lu Bu arrived outside the city gate, the soldiers in the city hurriedly saluted and said, "I have met the city lord."
Lu Bu ignored them and hurriedly looked towards the opposite camp. When he saw it clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The hilltop city is occupied by the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army. Therefore, all soldiers are dressed in yellow turbans, indicating that they are members of the Yellow Turban Army.
The soldiers on the opposite side also wore yellow scarves on their heads, proving that they were also Yellow Turban Army.
One of the two generals fighting in front of the two armies was Li Qita from Summit City, and the person fighting him was also a Yellow Turban general.
Pei Yuanshao, level 50.
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment. He had never heard of this name before, and he seemed to be an unknown person.
However, although Pei Yuanshao was a nobody, he was able to beat Li Qita, who screamed and saw that he was at a disadvantage.
Lu Bu knew how good Li Qita was in martial arts, but he didn't expect that he was no match for Pei Yuanshao.
Could it be that, although he doesn’t know it, the Pei Yuanshao in front of him is not a nobody?
The "I am the No. 1 in the World" and others who were on their side shouted as hard as they could to cheer for Li Qita.
Although Li Qita tried his best to save the defeat, his martial arts skills were not as good as his opponent's. Even though he kept roaring, he was still beaten back steadily.
Pei Yuanshao laughed loudly, "Li Qita, I have already told you that you are no match for me. Surrender as soon as possible, otherwise, I will lead my men into the city."
Li Qita snorted coldly, "Pei Yuanshao, in your dreams, even if you defeat me, you are still no match for our city lord."
Hearing this, Pei Yuanshao snorted disdainfully, "Your city lord has not dared to come out until now. Let me tell you, he is also a courageous guy. If he has the ability, he will come out now and I will have a good fight with him." p>
Li Qita gritted his teeth and shouted, "Pei Yuanshao, I will only obey you if you can defeat our city lord."
Pei Yuanshao was delighted, "Li Qita, if I defeat your city lord, will you return to us?"
Li Qita raised the corner of his mouth and sneered disdainfully, "It's just a dream for you to defeat our city lord."
Pei Yuanshao laughed loudly, "Li Qita, do you dare to make a bet? If I defeat your city lord, you will all surrender to me."
Li Qita gritted his teeth and shouted, "Why don't you dare? But if our city lord defeats you, then you will return to our mountaintop city. Do you dare to take a gamble?"
Pei Yuanshao took back his weapon and nodded, "Okay, in that case, let's call your city lord out and let's have a showdown."
