When I went to the vestibule, Lu Bu was already there. When he saw Ma Chao, he came over with a smile and said, "My dear nephew, please take a seat quickly!"

"Greetings to Marquis Wen!" Ma Chao bowed his hands in greeting without being polite, and formally entered the table.

Chen Gong and Jia Xu also arrived and said with a smile: "It's great to have friends from far away. Meng Qi's young talents should not be treated disrespectfully. Please!"

"Please!" Ma Chao stood up and returned the courtesy. Fortunately, Sima Yi didn't come. Otherwise, he would have had a fight with this person, which would have made Lu Xian look ugly.

As soon as everyone was seated, Lu Bu laughed and said, "Let's sing, dance, and play music!"

The sound of music reached my ears, the sound of silk and bamboo, the beauties across the curtain danced gracefully, and the maids carried the dishes to the table like flowing water.

However, everyone present was not thinking about the sound, beauty and food.

Lu Bu was the first to hold the drink and said: "Bu today I would like to give my nephew a drink. Public is public and private is private. Regardless of whether the alliance is successful or not, for selfish reasons, Bu expresses his deep gratitude to my nephew for saving my son. I also promise that in the future, I will come to Liangzhou."

If there is any difficulty, Bu can come to the rescue without hesitation, so as to repay today's personal favor. Dear nephew, please! Your kindness is very great to Bu!"

After Ma Chao received this promise, he also raised his glass and stood up and said: "I don't dare to thank Marquis Wen so much. Marquis Wen is really exaggerating. In fact, when it comes to kindness, the kindness that the female master has shown me is even more important. Respect Marquis Wen!"

Lu Bu saw that he was advancing and retreating in a controlled manner, and he was indeed like a noble family, so he smiled and drank it all in one gulp, saying, "Meng Qi is really refreshing!"

Ma Chao also finished his drink and sat down with a smile on his face.

Chen Gong and Jia Xu also raised their glasses and said with a smile: "This banquet is set up to thank Meng Qi. Gong and Wen He also raise a toast to Meng Qi!"

"You're welcome!" Ma Chao raised his glass and said with a smile: "To Prime Minister Chen and Mr. Jia, please!"

After the three of them finished drinking, Chen Gong and Jia Xu looked at each other and smiled. They all said that Ma Chao had a very annoying personality. In fact, after meeting each other, they felt quite restrained. Although this ridiculous temperament could not be concealed.

Yes, but he was really polite to Marquis Wen and restrained himself.

The two of them glanced at Lu Xian, but they didn't even mention the alliance, and only focused on serving Lu Bu's wine.

I'm afraid this matter is a sure thing, and whether it succeeds or fails depends solely on Lu Xian. Therefore, the two of them said nothing more.

As long as Lu Bu can make a few mentions to show that he pays attention, that's all.

Lu Bu said: "Meng Qi, Bu has sent a letter to your father Ma Teng, willing to become allies and provide each other with foreign aid to cope with the crisis. In this matter, I would like to help Meng Qi give your father some advice. This is a good thing."

,Don’t refuse by mistake!”

Ma Chao smiled and said: "Chao has already sent the letter. My father must have considered this matter. Marquis Wen can wait for the letter with peace of mind. There must be good intentions coming."

Lu Bu was overjoyed and said: "This is a good thing! My dear nephew, you are really happy!"

I was so happy that I drank too much.

This was a thorough etiquette, and it was considered as saving face. It was not until Ma Chao said goodbye and left that Chen Gong and Jia Xu talked, laughed, and became intimate.

When guests are present, they must be polite. When there are no outsiders, the etiquette becomes much more free. There is no need for the two of them to say anything about this matter. Whether it succeeds or fails, it all depends on Lu Xian. They are just watching.

It is inevitable. As long as Ma Teng is not confused, he knows that alliance with Xuzhou is the best result.

The information given by Lu is actually very straightforward. If you are one of your own, you can share the information. It is straightforward and sincere. If not, there are many things that Ma Chao will not be able to participate in.

When Ma Chao returned to the military camp, he knew very well.

And being one of our own is more than just an alliance.

Lu Xian, Chen Gong and Jia Xu entered the study room and had almost finished discussing official matters before actually displaying the map to show them to the two of them.

Lu Bu sat on one side, looking at the survey map with eager eyes.

Although he was slightly drunk, when he saw what he really cared about, his eyes widened wider than anyone else's. How could he doze off again?!

Seeing his passionate thinking, Jia Xu pulled Chen Gong's sleeve slightly and motioned for him to look at it.

Chen Gong couldn't help stroking his sleeves and chuckled, and said in a low voice: "Yesterday, when I listened to my report on affairs in my house, I sweated so much that I felt so uncomfortable that I wanted to leave. Now I don't need anyone to hold me down, I just sit like this

Straight."

Jia Xu also pursed his lips and chuckled. Lu Bu was so focused that he didn't notice the little movements of the two of them. What can I say about Lu Bu? He's not very good at reading people's faces. He's just so careless that he doesn't pay attention to people at all.

People with subtle changes in expressions, including facial expressions, etc.

Lu Xian also glanced at Lu Bu and saw that he was eager to give it a try, so she smiled and said, "Dad, you want this mountain and river map?!"

"When a man is born, he has the ambition to conquer mountains and rivers. If he doesn't have this ambition, how can he be called a hero?!" Lu Bu squinted his eyes and said, "In this expedition, if we can capture Yanzhou and gain Yuan Shao's old nest in Jizhou, it will be enough for him."

That’s it!”

Jia Xu laughed loudly and said: "If my lord has this intention, it will be more than enough. If you can do anything, you must do it. If you can't do it, you should also set a limit."

"Yes, the bottom line is that Yanzhou and Jizhou are necessary states for our Xuzhou, but at the same time, if the situation changes and it is feasible," Lu Xian pointed on the map and said: "Xuzhou needs to open up the merger of states and connect it with Liangzhou.

If it goes well, our Xuzhou power will be sublimated and greatly improved from this battle, and will truly take off. And the place it reaches can reach Longxi."

Lu Bu said: "My son's intention is to try his best to open up the situation?! Yanzhou and Jizhou are what we must get this time, and the real intention is to set the pace for the start?!"

Lu Xian nodded and said with a smile: "As soon as Yuan Shao is destroyed, Cao Cao will join forces with Liu Bei and Sun Ce to surround us in Xuzhou. If there is no way out, we will be trapped to death. But this start is completely different. We can advance, retreat, and circumvent."

You can copy it, you can break the situation and create new ones, and at the same time, there are reinforcements."

"Xiliang Ma Teng?!" Lu Bu said.

"He is just one of the reinforcements, and real reinforcements cannot be counted on others. If Ma Teng and his son do not surrender to our Lu family, they cannot fully count on them." Lu Xian said: "Ma Teng has the heart to be self-reliant, but it's just

Suffering from being unable to stand on his own and always being restrained, he chose to form an alliance with me, Xuzhou, just as a delaying tactic, intending to delay and stand on his own feet. After my Lu family and Cao Cao deal with Yuan Shao, whether he will surrender or not will depend on the current situation. But now, they will definitely not

It will fall. That’s for sure.”

Lu Bu said: "Since you are a hero and the world is in chaos, it is indeed normal to have a heart of self-reliance."

Jia Xu was overjoyed and smiled at Chen Gong. He really admired Lu Bu's broad-mindedness and big-heartedness. If other princes reached this point and heard that others were self-reliant and heroic, they would want to kill one of them.

It's one, except one. Only Lu Bu really has empathy. Just like what he said when Liu Bei was recruiting soldiers and horses in Xiaopei, he said that preparing food, grass, horses and soldiers is what a general must do. But now, he

We can also understand that Ma Teng wants to be self-reliant, which is common for military strategists. Therefore, Jia Xu really thinks that Lu Bu becomes more and more cute the more he looks at him.

Of course, the premise of this cuteness is that Lu Xian has the backing and control of the direction. If he had not been so virtuous before, he would have punched randomly with no purpose and gained nothing in the end.

Now being led by Lu Xian is completely different. This power is used in one place, hitting when it's time to hit, not being soft, taking back when it's time, and not hesitating. It's really a wonderful feeling!

Chen Gong also couldn't laugh or cry. He looked at Lu Bu speechlessly. Lu Bu was indeed more tolerant than all the princes, including Cao Cao and Liu Bei. If Liu Bei was left alone, he might not be able to tolerate Ma Teng and his son.

idiosyncrasies and ambitions.

He was the only one who was silly, carefree, and didn't care.

If he were alone, he would have tricked himself to death sooner or later. Fortunately, Lu Xian was here.

Lu Xian was also very speechless. After thinking about it, she did not criticize her father. She just smiled and said: "What I mean is that once this map is formed, the troops can disperse and defend each other, and then they will not be easily trapped. One place will be surrounded."

, there is another place that can be rescued and the troops are dispersed. Although there are disadvantages, the advantages are also very obvious. You can conquer the territory and defend it, and attack it. Have you ever seen how wolves hunt?!"

Lu Bu knew it and nodded.

Lu Xian smiled and said: "The most important thing is to be able to cut off the connection between the north and the south, and our army has a shadow. As long as we can build a Great Wall of information disparity in between, what kind of tripartite alliance is unbreakable?!"

"It is said that a man can be raised a thousand miles and a man can be used only in a short time. So far, Shadow has only been doing small things. Only then will he be able to really come in handy..." Lu Xian said.

Lu Bu doesn't quite understand this.

Lu Xian said: "Why don't you ask Wen He, Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and how many secret agents and spies Liu Bei has placed in Xuzhou? These are all information agents."

"The assassin?!" Lu Bu turned to look at Jia Xu.

Shadow is cultivated and managed by Diao Chan and supervised by Chen Gong, Jia Xu, and Gao Shun. The information is the same. Of course, because of the special nature of its existence, it has now been managed by the Foreign Affairs Office.

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Cao Cao thinks highly of Xuzhou the most. There are more than 3,000 spies lurking in Xuzhou City alone. There are hundreds of people in Huainan and other counties in Xuzhou. Sun Ce also sent no less than 1,000 people.

In Xuzhou City, Liu Bei's number is smaller, with more than 200 people present."

When Lu Bu heard this, his hair stood on end and he shuddered. When he thought that there were so many people lurking in the city where he lived, he woke up from drunkenness and trembled unnaturally and said, "How could there be so many people?!"

"Otherwise, what's the point of the scout camp?" Lu Xian said: "They are all invisible scouts. Cao Cao has strong soldiers and horses, so he attaches great importance to this aspect, especially the training of information soldiers. And most of these people are scattered among the flow.

Among the people, everywhere in the city."

"Why don't you arrest them all and kill them?!" Lu Bu said anxiously: "If they incite people's hearts, Xuzhou will definitely be in civil strife."

Lu Xian smiled and said: "Although they are Cao Cao's eyes, these remote-controlled eyes may not be controlled by Cao Cao after all. In turn, they can become our eyes and use them instead!"

Chen Gong and Jia Xu both smiled and nodded. Seeing Lu Bu's confusion, Chen Gong said: "Use the contrast of information and the difference in timeliness to draw Cao Cao into a trap. He will not be able to escape until he is in the game. This is a plan that can defeat Cao Cao's sharp power. This is

The best plan is to wait for the most appropriate time to use it, so we have not eliminated these people, but we are keeping a close eye on them. If there is anything wrong, they can be eliminated overnight!"

After hearing this, Lu Bu thought thoughtfully, stood up, wandered back and forth, and said, "Really it works?!"

"Of course. These people are already under control. They have been watching under Shadow's nose for a long time. If they don't cause trouble, there is no need to get rid of them and use them later. But now, you can't alert the snake, so that they can be used when they are most useful.

They are countering Cao Cao." Jia Xu said with a smile: "Xu has always believed that the real enemy of Xuzhou in the past ten years is Cao Cao. After Yuan Shao is destroyed, whoever can take control of the north can conquer the enemy in the south, and half of the world will

Definitely. And there is an inevitable conflict with Cao Cao. Compared with Sun Ce, Liu Bei, and other minor princes, Cao Cao is the lord's mortal enemy in the next ten years!"

"So, in this battle between Cao and Yuan, we would rather delay the war a little and end it later, and rather strengthen Yuan Shao's strength, but we will never strengthen Cao Cao's! This is for the future!" Chen Gong said.

Lu Bu understood that the matter discussed today was not about Yuan Shao, but the matters after the battle between Cao Cao and Cao Yuan.

"So when we go on an expedition, it will be the most complicated to send troops this time, because we have to improvise, advance or retreat, depending on the situation." Lu Xian said: "It's not about occupying the land based on sight, nor killing Yuan's army based on what he sees.
