In May of the second year of Jian'an, Lu Bu returned to Xiapi.

Zhang Liao did not return, but was ordered to station in Pugupi.

Pugupi is located on the banks of Suishui River, east of Caiwu County. It is like a gateway to the southwest of Xia Pi. Zhang Liao stationed troops here, on the one hand, to monitor Fu Li and Guan Yu, and on the other hand, it can attack Xiang County at any time. On the surface, it is highly valued by Lu Bu.

But both Liu Chuang and Chen Gong knew that Zhang Liao was alienated by Lu Bu!

Although the location of Pugubei is very important, it is still far from reaching the point where Zhang Liao stationed troops.

Previously, Pugubei was stationed by Song Xian, but now Song Xian immediately asked Zhang Liao to take over, which was actually a kind of guard against Zhang Liao.

In other words, it is a guard against Liu Chuang.

But, I really never thought about taking your Xia Pi!

Liu Chuang couldn't help but sigh, but he was helpless.

Lu Bu is indeed no longer the arrogant tiger he used to be. He is old and has lost his original aura and enterprising spirit.

"Kong Ming, I'm afraid we will find it difficult to stay in Beihai for a long time."

That night, Xia Pi city celebrated and Lu Bu returned triumphantly.

But Liu Chuang did not attend. He used the excuse of being unwell and did not attend the banquet. Instead, he sat on the post office corridor with a look of helplessness.

Chen Jiao has gone to Dongcheng to inquire about the news.

Zhuge Liang pretended to be around Liu Chuang and didn't know how to persuade him.

But after hearing his words, Zhuge Liang was stunned and asked in surprise: "Brother Meng Yan, why did he have such an idea?"

"Lu Bu is definitely not a match for Cao Cao."

“Brother means…”

"If Lu Bu is defeated, the next time is Cao Cao's dealing with you and me.

Therefore, this Qingzhou is not a place to live for a long time. If we can help Lu Bu resist Cao Cao, there may be room for recovery. But if..."

Liu Chuang muttered in his heart.

He didn't know whether he could help Lu Bu change his destiny.

In fact, if Lu Bu can live one more day, Liu Chuang will have more time.

In a blink of an eye, half of the time has passed in the second year of Jian'an, and the battle between Cao and Lu is probably not too far away!

Next year is the third year of Jian'an, and Lu Bu died in history.

In the fifth year of Jian'an, the Battle of Guandu.

Before the Battle of Guandu, being able to regain a place to settle down is also the most urgent and important thing for Liu Chuang at present.

But where is that place to stay?

He took a deep breath, picked up the wine bottle and took a sip of wine, with a hint of confusion on his face.

"Brother Meng Yan!"

"Um?"

"Actually, I have an idea."

"you say……"

"The brother is only concerned about Cao Cao.

But as far as I know, the one Cao Cao was also afraid of was Yuan Shao.

If my brother thought that Lu Bu could not resist Cao Cao, why not find another way out? Yuan Shao is a man who is very fond of merit and has no decisions, but it is undeniable that he holds the seal of the General in his hand and is indeed the most reliable candidate at present. Since Qingzhou is not good, it is better to choose another north."

north?

A light suddenly flashed in Liu Chuang's mind, an extremely dazzling light.

He seemed to have found the direction and suddenly looked at Zhuge Liang, but it scared Zhuge Liang and even felt at a loss.

"Brother, was it because I said something wrong?"

Zhuge Liang asked carefully.

Liu Chuang smiled slightly, "Kong Ming, if it were you, where would you choose the north?"

Zhuge Liang stared at Liu Chuang in surprise and said, "Brother, you really want to go to the northern border, right?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. Let's make a decision after everything goes back to Beihai."

In an instant, Liu Chuang seemed to be excited.

In his mind, there was a suitable place that could allow him to develop quietly. Even if Yuan Shao was defeated in the Battle of Guandu, as long as Yuan Shao did not die, Liu Chuang would still have a chance. I vaguely remember that even after Yuan Shao failed in the Battle of Guandu, he still dominated Hebei for several years. Until Yuan Shao died of illness, he had the upper hand over Cao Cao. Even if he failed to win once, Cao Cao was still very fond of it.

The entire northern war ended for nearly eight years.

The corners of Liu Chuang's mouth suddenly raised up and a strange arc appeared.

Eight years...

He couldn't help but sneer.

Eight years are enough to make me a prince!

The plan is constantly improving in Liu Chuang's mind, but he will not tell anyone until it finally matures.

Similarly, this is also a great opportunity to test Zhuge Liang.

Although Liu Chuang did not assign any homework to Zhuge Liang, he could see that Zhuge Liang was also thinking and looking for directions.

This is definitely a huge test for the sixteen-year-old Zhuge Liang.

He is not as familiar with the development process of history as Liu Chuang, so every decision he makes depends on his brain for analysis and judgment. Similarly, he needs a broader vision and more mature ideas. Liu Chuang doesn't know whether he does this to encourage growth, but he believes that if Zhuge Liang can make the right judgment, his future will inevitably be more exciting.

In his heart, Liu Chuang even had some vague expectations.

Sleeping dragon and phoenix chick?

Humph, I believe that in ten years, the people in the world who can know Wolong will definitely be far more than Feng Chu...

Because, he is Zhuge Liang!

Chen Jiao came back and brought bad news.

At the beginning of the moon, Lu Su had crossed the river to Jiangdong with more than a hundred people.

Liu Chuang felt a pity in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not a big deal.

He, Lu Su, left, I had Kong Ming, ten times better than him!

Whether it is Chen Jiao or Zhuge Liang, you can feel the huge emotional change in Liu Chuang.

A few days ago, Liu Chuang was still a little depressed.

But the day after Lu Bu came back, Liu Chuang's mental state changed drastically...

"Kong Ming, what's this?"

Chen Jiao asked Zhuge Liang in confusion.

But Zhuge Liang was also puzzled by this.

Afterwards, Liu Chuang and Lu Bu had several secret talks. In mid-May, Liu Chuang led Fei Xiong Wei to leave Xia Pi. Before leaving, Lu Bu and Chen Gong sent him ten miles away.

"Wen Hou, you and I have now become cold in my lips and teeth. If you have any difficulties, please know with me and don't show off."

Lu Bu nodded slightly, but actually felt a little sad.

After returning to Xia Pi, he heard Mrs. Yan and others mention the situation that day, and he felt guilty about Liu Chuang's forced to print a letter from Lu Lan and forcing Gao Shun to leave Xia Pi. In fact, whether it was Gao Shun or Cao Xing, he did not obey Liu Chuang's orders.

It was only through his Lu Bu's seal that he successfully mobilized his troops.

After that, Liu Chuang held his troops and let Zhang Fei and others go, which was also explained.

This made Lu Bu feel very regretful. If he had known that he had no peeping at Xia Pi, he would have led his troops eastward to capture Guangling.

However, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, it is not very difficult to seize Guangling.

Lu Bu was very confident. He believed that Chen Deng alone would not be able to stop his military attack.

Therefore, after forming an alliance with Liu Chuang, Lu Bu transferred Zhang Liao from Pugupi back to Xia Pi. It was not that he realized the mistake, but because he decided to fulfill his previous promise and let Gao Shun, Liu Chuang go to Beihai to train Liu Chuang to form a camp of traps.

Since it was Lu Bu's order, Gao Shun naturally would not object.

There will be no war in Xuzhou in a short period of time. Besides, the Beihai is not too far from Xia Pi. If something happens in Xuzhou, he can return at any time.

However, once Gao Shun left, he needed a general to lead the army.

Liu Chuang suggested to Lu Bu: "The battle is an elite soldier in a hundred battles, and someone with a strong man should be in charge.

I know that under the command of Marquis Wen, there are fierce generals. But... a tiger can lead a group of sheep to defeat a group of tigers led by a sheep. Therefore, to maintain combat power in the camp, one must have a general commander. Most of the traps are infantry, while Marquis Wen is better at cavalry battles. If he abandons the cavalry and commands the trap, it is not a good thing for the Lord and the Lord. I think that if the Lord and the Lord can make Commander Zhang Liao trap, he will definitely maintain combat power."

Originally, Lu Bu wanted to lead the battle personally, but after hearing Liu Chuang's advice, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Yes, he is good at cavalry warfare, not infantry warfare.
