System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

Cui Yan shook his head and said with disdain.

There is a difference between aristocratic families and noble families.

Families with profound heritage often have the ability to make choices and know that only by giving up necessary things can they gain more fame and fortune.

As for the reason, it is naturally because the big families have a deep foundation and can have multiple opportunities.

"You're not from a wealthy family."

Lu Bu tilted his head to look at him and teased.

"..."

Cui Yan felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.

The Qinghe Cui family will indeed be a prominent family in the future, but now, it can only be regarded as a family that has just begun to make some progress.

"Then what should we do now?"

"Just wasting time like this?"

Lu Bu ignored Cui Yan's discomfort and asked curiously.

"What are you dragging?"

"When the weather turns cooler, we'll fight Cao Cao."

"Let them be cannon fodder while we wait for our chance to strike."

"Yanzhou is their home ground. If they don't fight hard, why should we?"

"Most of our troops are cavalry. Even the infantrymen who are willing to take the lead have amazing endurance and strong physiques. If they don't work hard, we can just leave."

"I calculated that at our marching speed, whether we go through Hulao Pass or Yingchuan, we can reach Luoyang within ten days."

Cui Yan raised a slight sneer at the corner of his mouth and said in a low voice.

The reason why he was willing to come to Chenliu was because it was a place where he could advance and retreat freely.

"And now?"

Lu Bu nodded and asked again.

"Wait until the spring plowing season, and have Zhang Miao and his men attack Juancheng. Then, General, lead the cavalry to attack Puyang."

Cui Yan stroked his beard and spoke.

"How do cavalry attack a city?"

Lu Bu frowned.

Do you think I can't play cavalry?

Cavalry relies on mobility to wage blitzkrieg and surprise attacks.

Siege?

Stop it.

Are you planning to let your horse raise its hooves and kick the gate of Puyang City?

Do you really think the Puyang city gate is as easy to kick as the gate of your mansion?

Even if you kick the horseshoe thin, you can't kick the door open.

You know, Lu Bu was involved in the capture of Cui Yan's clansmen, so he had the most say in the matter of the horse's hoof kicking the door.

"Who said to let the general attack the city?"

"Ever since Cao Cao annexed the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, he has been short of food and fodder."

"Although we have gathered Yuan Shao's troops and some of his money and food, the food shortage has not been alleviated."

"If the general sends his troops during the spring plowing season, not only will the people of Yanzhou not be able to farm, but even Cao Cao's military settlements won't be able to proceed."

Cui Yan curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer.

I learned this trick of cutting off the source of the fire from Jia Xu.

Don’t you, Cao Cao, have a lot of soldiers?

How can you support your troops without food?

Yanzhou has been plagued by frequent disasters, resulting in a significant reduction in grain production.

If this trick happens again, these two years will be the most difficult years for Cao Cao.

If we are not careful, the army of more than 100,000 will completely collapse.

"You guys who play with your brains are all pretty toxic."

Lu Bu felt a chill and couldn't help shivering.

In the past, he always looked down on such people.

In his opinion, if he struck them with his halberd, they would all fall to the ground.

But ever since he had fought with Dong Yu in many campaigns, he had become somewhat afraid.

It's really hard to guard against these people who are secretly plotting against you.

One strike of his halberd from Lu Bu could at most kill a few people, but with one of their strategies, tens of thousands of people would be turned into bones.

"..."

"How can you slander me with poison?"

"I'm just the one who came up with the plan, and you're the one who executes it."

Cui Yan glanced at Lu Bu coldly.

I, the dignified head of the Qinghe Cui clan, have the Confucian classics memorized and a righteous spirit in my heart. Unwilling to bow for fame or gain, I stand proudly in the world.

You actually said I was poisonous?

"..."

"You are so mean, full of evil."

Lu Bu's face flushed red, and he felt uncomfortable with the resentment he was holding back.

Compared with generals like Ma Chao and Zhang Fei who curse at every turn, Lu Bu is considered to be more educated.

Even if it is an insult, at most they would just add the word "thief" at the end based on the other person's physical characteristics.

For example, the black-faced thief, the red-faced thief, and the big-eared thief.

Therefore, after being teased by Cui Yan, although Lu Bu wanted to curse, he didn't know what to say.
