Three Kingdoms: defect to Liu Bei and backhand intercept Mrs. Hu Mi

Chapter 42 Wei Xu: Liu Zhoumu, was it possible that the battle of Pengcheng was not won?
After exiting the system space, Lin Fan and Chen Gong walked together to a place with few people.

Lin Fan said: "Lu Bu is killed, Liu Bei is defeated, and the entire Xuzhou will become my possession."

"But Xuzhou is located in a plain, surrounded by wolves, making it easy to attack and difficult to defend. How can we stand firm in Xuzhou and conquer the world?"

Chen Gong knew that Lin Fan was inspecting him.

How much reuse you can get depends on your answer.

Therefore, he did not speak rashly. He pondered for a long time and said seriously: "Xuzhou is rich, but it is a place of four wars. Since there is no danger of geographical advantage, we need people to take advantage of it."

"The advantages of human relations?"

"how do I say this?"

Chen Gong said: "Stabilize the people's hearts, shrink the troops, and concentrate all the forces on Pengcheng, Xiapi, and Xiaopei. The three places are horns for each other and can support each other."

"Secondly, mastering three cities is equivalent to mastering dozens of other cities."

"As long as the invasion of powerful enemies from the princes is repelled, the lord can be reborn, like a dragon entering the sea, and he is under control."

Lin Fan's mouth showed a hint of approval: "What is the most urgent task, what should we do first?"

Chen Gong said: "Annoy the people and win over the Mi family."

"The Mi family?"

Chen Gong nodded: "The Mi family is the first aristocratic family in Xuzhou and the richest businessman. The family has countless wealth, money and food."

"It is precisely because of this that Liu Bei personally hired her to marry Miss Mi."

"Unexpectedly, my lord suddenly showed up, and all Liu Bei's plans were actually to make a wedding dress for my lord."

"With Miss Mi's relationship, it's easy to convince the Mi family."

"With the help of the Mi family's money and food, we can defend the three cities of Xiapi, Pengcheng, and Xiaopei. As long as the cities are not destroyed, the princes who came after smelling the fishy smell will naturally retreat because they are unable to succeed."

"Only by standing firm in Xuzhou can you plan for the world."

Lin Fan nodded slightly, his eyes filled with admiration.

"How can we plan for the world if we stand firm in Xuzhou?"

Chen Gong said: "Yangzhou in the south is a large state in the world. It is a large state with a natural danger of the Yangtze River. Today, the herdsman of Yangzhou, Liu Yao, has no way to control it. Yan Baihu is separatist in Wu County. To the north, he is attacked by Yuan Shu, and the people and horses are exhausted."

"The general will send out surprise troops to go south and occupy Yangzhou. If you advance, you can strive for hegemony in the world and aspire to be the leader of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. If you retreat, you can stick to one side and become the overlord."

Chen Gong had already said this before. Of course, the target at that time was not Lin Fan, but Lu Bu.

It's a pity that Lu Bu didn't even win Xuzhou, so what's the future?
With a sigh, Chen Gong looked at Lin Fan with bright eyes, full of confidence.

Lin Fan hesitated for a moment and asked softly: "Sir, you may have great talent, but Yangzhou is crisscrossed by waterways and has the danger of the Yangtze River. If you don't have a naval army, how can you conquer it?"

"Now we don't have a naval force. Even if Liu Yao is incompetent, I'm afraid it will be helpless!"

Chen Gong raised the corners of his mouth: "My subordinates have also considered this matter."

"If we build a new naval force and build warships, it will take several years to achieve success."

"Master, it's obvious that he doesn't have that long."

"It can be expanded based on conquering some water thieves in the Jianghuai River."

"If all the water bandits, big and small, are subdued, we can at least get more than [-] water troops who are good at fighting. Based on this, Yangzhou can be conquered."

Lin Fan laughed heartily, clapped his hands and praised, "It seems that Mr. Gongtai has really thought carefully about Lu Bu."

"But now it seems that they are all wedding dresses made for me."

Chen Gong sighed: "I have already told Lu Bu about this plan, but he was so hesitant that he kept everything on paper and did not put it into action."

"Otherwise, no matter how many water bandits there are between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River, they can be eliminated."

“Not only has I gained fame, it has made local people appreciate me, and it has also expanded my own strength.”

"Unfortunately"

With a faint sigh, Chen Gong didn't finish his words.

Lin Fan patted Chen Gong on the shoulder: "Sir, you are a great talent, are you willing to act as a lobbyist for me?"

"My lord, you want me to go to Mi's house?" Lin Fan nodded.

Chen Gong said sternly: "Don't worry, my lord, I will leave as soon as daybreak. I will definitely live up to my mission."

The moon star is thin, and the black dragonfly flies south.

Lin Fan stared at the vast night sky with boundless pride and fighting spirit in his heart.
Xiaopei, within the county government.

Liu Bei looked at Wei Xu who was in great embarrassment and covered in blood, and suppressed his anger.

Now is the time to employ people, and Wei Xu has just gone through a fight, so scolding him at this moment is a bit chilling.

Liu Bei sighed secretly and asked, "How could he be defeated?"

"Didn't you say that Chen Gong only took more than a hundred people to escape Xiaopei?"

"You and Hou Chengjia, together with the five hundred cavalry I gave you, are enough for two thousand people."

"Can't you even deal with these 100 people?"

Wei Xu smiled bitterly and said: "Chen Gongben has reached a desperate situation, and those two women are about to be caught by me."

"However, Gao Shun's trapped camp appeared. Although they were exhausted and severely damaged, we were still unable to defeat them for the time being."

"Fighting for more than an hour, Gao Shun's trapped camp was worn down to exhaustion, and finally Lin Fan came out."

"With the new force joining us, we will naturally not be our opponents."

"In the end, General Hou Cheng died in the battle. I led my people to fight hard, but only a dozen people came back."

"Please spare your life, Master Zhou Mu!!"

Liu Bei was silent. From the moment he saw Wei Xu's embarrassment, he guessed that Lin Fan might have been chasing him.

Now it turns out that's true.

With his mind spinning rapidly, Liu Bei was considering his next move. Should he leave or stay?

Leaving means giving up Xuzhou, which has been in business for a year. Next, Xuzhou will face a situation where wolves are fighting for meat.

If he stayed, could he hold on until the wolves came to save him?

There is no sense of security in this feeling of putting your life in the hands of others.

"Lord Zhou Mu, what's going on with Lin Fan?"

"Did he escape?"

"Give me 5000 men and horses, and I will capture him alive right now."

Wei Xu knelt down on one knee, looking like he was asking for a fight.

Liu Bei almost kicked him. He has less than three thousand people left. You want five thousand?
I gave it all to you, how can I still mess around?
It's just that Wei Xu didn't understand the situation of the Battle of Pengcheng, which made Liu Bei not sure how to explain it.

When he was in trouble, a burst of rapid footsteps came.

"Lord, it's time for us to go!!"

"The scouts reported that there are thousands of enemy troops ten miles away, or Lin Fan's troops are chasing them."

Sun Qian came in a hurry and said loudly.

Liu Bei ignored the embarrassment just now and nodded slightly: "Command the army not to disturb the people. Let's leave from the west gate!"

"Here!!!"

Sun Qian stepped back and left, while Wei Xu looked confused.

He always thought that Liu Bei killed Lu Bu and secured Xuzhou. Why is the current plot wrong?
Liu Bei is a bit like a lost dog.

Did I think wrong?
If you think wrong, wouldn't surrendering to Liu Bei be a wrong move?
Could it be said that Lin Fan won?

Just thinking of this, Wei Xu felt a chill on his back and felt uneasy in his heart: "Lord Zhou Mu, is it possible that the battle of Pengcheng was not won?"

Liu Bei felt his face getting hot and snorted coldly: "Don't ask any more questions, get ready to leave immediately!"

After finishing speaking, he left the hall, leaving only Wei Xu messy under the candlelight, with ten thousand cnm floating in his mind, and his mood was like a flame, swaying in the wind.
