Chapter 154 I, Chen Gong, am back! Su Yu: Give me a good beating!
"Yuan Shu sent Yang Hong to see Lü Bu?"
"And they also provided Lü Bu with a considerable amount of military equipment, provisions, and three thousand warhorses?"
Looking at the top-secret intelligence that Li Dian personally delivered, Su Yu's mind raced.
It is obvious that Yuan Shu and Lü Bu have colluded and secretly reached some kind of agreement.
It is unclear whether Yuan Shu wanted Lü Bu to assist him on the battlefield in Yu Province, or whether he hoped Lü Bu would come to Yan Province to raid Cao Cao's base.
If Su Yu were to consider the issue from Yuan Shu's perspective, he would definitely prefer Lü Bu to raid Yan Province rather than join the battle in Yu Province.
There is no other reason.
Once the base of his forces in Yanzhou is destroyed, no matter how well Cao Cao is fighting on the front lines in Yuzhou, he will have to turn back to defend it.
Suddenly, Li Dian hesitated before speaking:
"Sir, a strategist who is highly valued by Lü Bu has appeared beside him."
"According to the reconnaissance efforts of our intelligence comrades, that person seems to be Chen Gong!"
"is it?"
Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Since Zhang Miao's death, the intelligence guards have been ordered to search for Chen Gong's whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, Chen Gong arrived at Lü Bu's side ahead of time, and now he wants to use Lü Bu's power to stir up chaos in the Central Plains.
If Lü Bu hadn't had Chen Gong by his side to help him...
Lu Bu is nothing but a commoner, not worth worrying about.
But now that Chen Gong is involved, the concept is completely different.
First of all, Chen Gong came from a prominent family in Yanzhou.
Most people in Yanzhou had long been convinced of Cao Cao's worth.
However, it cannot be denied that both opportunists and ambitious individuals exist everywhere.
Once Chen Gong contacts these ambitious individuals and opportunists.
Not all of them, but at least a significant portion of those who dream of achieving success through meritorious service will choose to take the risk!
Other than that.
At present, Yanzhou does not have many elite troops because Cao Cao is away on campaign.
Under these circumstances of internal and external troubles, the threat posed by Lü Bu and Chen Gong to Yanzhou will be greatly amplified.
Su Yu's gaze was sharp as a knife as he turned to look at Li Dian:
"Mancheng, if you were Chen Gong, would you have suggested that Lü Bu launch a surprise attack on Yanzhou?"
Li Dian replied in a trembling voice:
"This...this is almost inevitable."
"With Chen Gong's wisdom and his identity as a native of Yanzhou, he certainly won't miss this golden opportunity!"
"Sir, should we send an urgent message to our lord, requesting him to return to rescue Yanzhou?"
Su Yu shook his head and said:
"Of course we must inform our lord of the news."
"But if we are hoping that our lord will return to save Yanzhou, it may be too late."
"After this round trip, I estimate that Lü Bu has now reached the border of Yanzhou."
"Even if our lord returns to rescue us, it will only be a drop in the ocean."
"The only way to stop Lü Bu this time is to rely on ourselves."
Li Dian nodded, choosing to believe Su Yu.
after all.
In Li Dian's view, Su Yu was the true number one strategist in Cao Cao's camp.
Don't be fooled by Lü Bu's fierce appearance.
Even Chen Gong, who was highly regarded by Lü Bu, was only a defeated opponent of Su Yu!
Besides, Yanzhou doesn't have many elite troops.
But at least they're on the defensive.
With proactive precautions and unified coordination, we can surely turn danger into safety.
"By the way, Mancheng, could you please come over and call Wenruo and Yuanrang over as well?"
"Forget it, let's meet at Wenruo's residence instead."
"I interrupted this guy's handling of official business; I wonder what kind of rumors he'll spread about me behind my back."
Su Yu said with a smile.
Li Dian curled his lips slightly.
These past few days, Xun Yu has been having an absolutely exhilarating time!
Government affairs?
For Xun Yu now, handling government affairs is considered leisure time!
The story begins with the pile of precious New Year's gifts that Su Yu sent to Xun Yu.
Who in the family understands?
It felt as if Su Yu had come up with a bunch of new concepts.
But these concepts are written like a thesis, with only main headings and subheadings, leaving the rest for Xun Yu to expand upon!
Despite his young age, Xun Yu now looks like he's in his late thirties or approaching forty!
Fortunately, Su Yu still had some conscience.
He specially obtained a health-preserving prescription from a famous doctor and gave it to the steward of the Xun family, instructing Xun Yu to maintain his health every day and strive to serve as a beast of burden for a few more years—no, I mean, to contribute to Cao Cao's camp for a few more years.
soon.
The group met at Xun Yu's residence.
Ignoring Xun Yu's resentful gaze, Su Yu began issuing orders to the group.
First, Su Yu looked at Xiahou Dun:
"Yuan Rang, you are the most important person in this battle."
Upon hearing this, Xiahou Dun flexed his arm muscles and grinned, saying:
"Is it finally time for me, Xiahou Yuanrang, to unleash my power?"
"Please give me your instructions, sir, and I will certainly do as you say!"
Su Yu smiled slightly, then changed the subject:
“Yuan Rang, when dealing with Lü Bu, you are responsible for feigning defeat to lower Lü Bu’s guard.”
Xiahou Dun's arm froze in mid-air, and he said rather dejectedly:
"So you wanted me to feign defeat."
"Sir... I also want to win once."
After saying this, Xiahou Dun revealed a simple and honest look, just like Dian Wei.
Even his speech was "classical and pedantic".
Su Yu couldn't stand Xiahou Dun's appearance any longer and quickly added:
"I'll make you fake a defeat first."
"When it's time to finish things off, you'll be the one to defeat Lü Bu!"
"What!?"
"Shall I go and defeat Lü Bu?"
Xiahou Dun looked as if he had seen a ghost.
This isn't the game "Honor of Kings" (王者荣耀), where Xiahou Dun and Lü Bu are engaged in a fierce battle in the top lane.
The real Lü Bu was far more skilled in martial arts than Xiahou Dun.
Even when Xiahou Dun was fighting desperately, he could barely manage to fight Lü Bu for fifty rounds.
Any more, and Xiahou Dun might lose his life.
"Don't worry, Yuan Rang, if I say you can defeat Lü Bu, then you definitely can!"
Su Yu, however, was confident of victory.
Although there are currently few elite troops within Yanzhou.
But there are still some fierce generals!
Xu Chu, who has served as Su Yu's bodyguard for many years and is occasionally transferred by Cao Cao to guard the gate of Xu Family Village, is now standing next to Su Yu.
Zhao Yun, the leader of the still untrained Longxiang Cavalry, was just as formidable as Xu Chu, both being top-tier warriors of their time.
In a one-on-one fight, the two of them might not be able to defeat Lü Bu.
But if the two of them gang up on Lü Bu...
This effect is definitely no less than that of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!
And then there's Xiahou Dun...
Lu Bu should pray for his own good fortune!
Of course, Lü Bu's side wasn't lacking in talent either.
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who served under him, were both invaluable talents.
If Su Yu wants to use the existing resources of Yanzhou to defeat Lü Bu's army, he still needs to put more effort into his strategies.
After giving instructions to Xiahou Dun, Su Yu looked at Xun Yu.
"Wenruo, you don't need to worry about other matters."
"Just continue to do your job well."
Xun Yu felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.
Then I thought about it again, and realized, "Damn, this isn't right!"
It seems... his actual job is the most tiring, right?
fight?
Military attaché?
For Xun Yu, it was practically a vacation!
of course.
Su Yu simply assigned tasks to the group beforehand.
To trick Lü Bu, we need to paint a tempting and irresistible picture for Chen Gong!
after all.
As long as Su Yu can outwit Chen Gong in strategy.
No matter how arrogant Lü Bu was, he could only be defeated here!
