Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 305 Wisdom said Lu Bu, the Cao family has a son Cao Ang

"Let me go to Yanzhou to be a little Chenliu prefect?"

"How dare Cao Mengde order this general like that?"

"This general is the Great General Jianwei!"

"Cao Zixiu, is this how you treat your future father-in-law?"

After receiving the transfer order, Lu Bu became very angry and stared at Cao Ang fiercely.

Cao Cao also knew that such an appointment would make Lu Bu angry, so he simply asked Cao Ang to send the transfer order.

Occasionally letting Lu Bu vent his anger will help further sincere cooperation.

"Marquis Wen, please calm down and listen to Ang's eloquence."

Cao Ang is a talented person. Although he won the championship not long ago, he already has a certain resemblance to Cao Cao.

Martial arts, strategy, and scheming are all outstanding among her peers.

In the face of Lu Bu's anger, Cao Ang has always maintained the demeanor of a wealthy family and a good son, even though Lu Bu's anger is like thunder, I will not move like a mountain.

"Then tell me, what exactly is Cao Sikong thinking?" Although he was forced to marry his daughter, Lu Bu was quite satisfied with Cao Ang, his prospective son-in-law.

The name of Cao Cao has also changed because of Cao Ang.

Cao Ang invited Lv Bu to sit down, poured a bottle of sake for Lv Bu himself, and said slowly, "Marquis Wen, now that Zhang Miao and Chen Gong have been imprisoned, and the ministers headed by Ma Rizun and Yang Biao have become more peaceful. "

"As the saying goes, fight against the outside world before making the inside safe. The situation above the court has stabilized, and the next thing my father has to deal with is the enemies outside the court."

"Yuan Shao of Hebei, sitting on the three prefectures of You, Ji, and Bing, and having Wuhuan and the Huns willing to serve as minions, is the most powerful party in the world today."

"Liu Bei of Qingzhou has the identity of the emperor's uncle, general Zuo, and Qingzhou shepherd, and has the right to fake festivals. He made the contribution to recovering the jade seal. His righteous brother Guan Yu served as Xuzhou shepherd, and the former Tai Shici served as Yangzhou shepherd."

"In terms of reputation, Liu Bei is not weaker than the former Grand Sima Liu Bo'an."

"In terms of power, it is second only to Yuan Shao in Hebei."

"On the other hand, although my father is in Sikong and His Majesty is in Xu County, the only prefecture and county he can control is Yuzhou."

"Luoyang and Guanzhong are in decline. Although Zhong Yuan often sits in Chang'an, it is difficult to restore the people's livelihood in Luoyang and Guanzhong in a short time."

"Therefore, it is extremely important to control Yanzhou before Liu Bei."

Lu Bu snorted coldly: "It seems that Cao Sikong is in danger of protecting himself, but he still wants this general to work for him. It is too small to underestimate this general."

Cao Ang laughed and said, "Marquis Wen is overthinking. My father never thought of making Marquis Wen sacrifice his life. He just hoped to share wealth with Marquis Wen."

"Think about it, Marquis Wen, besides my father, who else in the world can secure Marquis Wen's position as a great general?"

"Whether it's Yuan Shao in Hebei or Liu Bei in Qingzhou, the civil and military generals under his command have already taken power. Whether it's Yuan Shao or Liu Bei, Wen Hou can't be reused."

"On the other hand, my father, although he is currently in a predicament and at a disadvantage, can allow Marquis Wen to take power."

"Although my father's means are too despicable, but now it's done. Ang hopes that Marquis Wen can temporarily abandon his personal grievances and unite against the enemy."

"Ang promises that in the future, the son with Lingqi will be the only legitimate son of the Cao family!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Ang bowed deeply to Lu Bu directly.

This attitude is not much different from the attitude of Cao Cao and Liu Bei when they were seeking talents.

Lu Bu's pupils shrank.

Today's Lu Bu is more than forty years old, and he is older than Cao Cao in terms of age.

But Lu Bu had no heirs, only an only daughter.

As a military general who gradually climbed to the position of general in the humble place of Bingzhou, Lu Bu's biggest regret is that he does not have a smart and brave son who can inherit the family business.

But Cao Ang in front of him gave Lu Bu new hope.

It is said that the son-in-law is half a child, if the son-in-law can treat him sincerely, he can be regarded as his own son.

At this time, Lu Bu felt this way.

Compared with Cao Cao's treachery, Cao Ang's attitude is a bit more sincere!
"Hmph, no matter how nicely you put it, you and Lingqi are not officially married yet." Lu Bu raised his head, trying not to let Cao Ang see his eyes.

Cao Ang responded with a smile, "Lingqi is beyond words. If the father-in-law can use Yanzhou as a dowry, it will be a good story."

Hearing this "Yue Zhang", Lu Bu's heart was full of joy, but he retorted: "They are not married yet, it would be against etiquette to change their words now."

Cao Ang carefully observed Lu Bu's eyes and expressions, and his tone was even more respectful: "In front of outsiders, you should be polite; now that there is no one around, my son-in-law calls Yuezhang just to express my respect in my heart."

Lu Bu was praised by Cao Ang for a while, and he couldn't help laughing: "If Cao Sikong came, I would definitely not agree; since Zixiu came in person, I would go to Yanzhou."

"How can the dowry be shabby for the daughter of General Jianwei?"

After half an hour.

Cao Ang returned to the Sikong Mansion and reported to Cao Cao: "Father, the general has agreed to go to Chenliu and promise to use Yanzhou as Lingqi's dowry."

Cao Cao looked at the eldest son in front of him with satisfaction, and subconsciously compared Cao Ang with Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan, only to feel that his eldest son was even better.

"Zixiu's ability to persuade Lu Bu to go to Yanzhou shows his ability."

"The son of the beginning is not as good as Zixiu!"

Cao Cao laughed out loud, feeling quite happy.

Facing Cao Cao's praise, Cao Ang was also excited, but he restrained his joy and tried his best to maintain an expression of emotion and anger.

"Father, my son heard that Yuan Shao of Hebei chose his second son, Yuan Xi, as the governor of Youzhou, and his third son named Yuan Shang as the governor of Jizhou. Only the eldest son, Yuan Tan, refused to be the governor of Bingzhou, and instead led his troops to fight against Liaodong." Cao Ang said slowly. , there is hope in the eyes.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly: "Could Zixiu be dissatisfied? Do you want to go to Yanzhou or Guanzhong?"

Cao Ang shook his head: "There is Marquis Wen in Yanzhou, so there is no need for children to intervene. There is Zhong Yuanchang in Guanzhong, and children will not show their abilities if they go."

"A group of bandits appeared in Nanyang recently, they seem to be the remnants of Dong Zhuo who escaped from Guanzhong."

"Liu Biao sent Cai Mao to drive troops to conquer, but they were defeated repeatedly."

"My boy thinks this is a good opportunity to make friends with Cai Mao."

Cao Cao's eyes were strange: "Zixiu didn't befriend Liu Biao, but instead befriended Cai Mao. Why?"

Cao Ang said with a smile: "Liu Biao is a clan member of the Han family, and has always had friendship with Liu Bei. Being friends with Liu Biao will only make the child shut up."

"But Cai Mao is different. Cai Mao once wrote to his father asking to deal with Liu Bei together. The Cai family is also a strong man in Jingzhou."

"Maybe making friends with Cai Mao can help my father replace a Jingzhou shepherd who has a grudge against Liu Bei."

Cao Cao clapped his hands and laughed: "Zixiu has such a scheming plan, I am very pleased for my father. I don't know how many soldiers and horses Zixiu will need to conquer the Nanyang bandits, and who will be the military adviser?"

Cao Ang obviously didn't do it on a whim, and said without hesitation: "Please father dispatch five thousand soldiers and horses, as well as Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, and Xia Houshang."

"In addition, please ask my father to let the military division join the army."

Cao Cao's tone was surprised: "You only want young generals in the clan, don't you bring any veterans?"

Cao Ang said with a smile: "Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu and Xia Houshang, although they are relatively young, they have joined the army since their father Chen Liu started the army, and they are enough to deal with the Nanyang bandits."

"Father's generals are all meant to deal with Liu Bei and Yuan Shao. My son leads the young generals to practice, even if he loses, it will not ruin his father's plan."

"Letting Xi Junshi accompany the army is because the child wants to learn some military skills from Xi Junshi."

Cao Cao stroked his short beard, and was even more pleasantly surprised by Cao Ang's performance: "The Cao family's thousand-mile horse has grown up! It's ridiculous that Liu Bei's eldest son is just a baby."

"Hahaha--"

Zhuocheng.

Zang Hong's declaration of war really surprised Yuan Shao.

"Has Zang Ziyuan's old illness relapsed? He declared war on the general?" Yuan Shao couldn't hide his surprise after carefully confirming the information three times.

If either Cao Cao or Liu Bei declares war, Yuan Shao thinks it is very reasonable.

But when he heard that Zang Hong declared war, Yuan Shao felt like falling into the clouds.

In Yuan Shao's eyes, what qualifications does Zang Hong have to declare war on a puppet state shepherd supported by Zhang Miao and Chen Gong?

"Send people to Yanzhou quickly to investigate the enemy's situation."

"Order General Wen Chou to garrison Yecheng to prevent Yanzhou soldiers from crossing the river."

Although he was puzzled, Yuan Shao ordered Wen Chou to garrison Yecheng to prevent accidents.

If something goes wrong, there must be a conspiracy, and Yuan Shao dare not be careless.

In a few days.

The spies got the latest information.

"Lv Bu is the prefect of Chenliu?" Yuan Shao got the information and suddenly got excited.

First, Zang Hong declared war, and then Lu Bu served as the prefect of Chenliu. These abnormal actions all seemed to point to a possibility.

"Could it be that Nanzhou has formed an alliance?" Yuan Shao was suspicious, and quickly called Xu You, Feng Ji, Xun Chen, Shen Pei, Liu Ye and other advisers to ask advice.

The trial match brought new information to Yuan Shao, "Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were imprisoned by Cao Cao, and Lu Bu has voted for Cao Cao."

Yuan Shao was taken aback: "Zhengnan, when did this happen?"

The judge shook his head: "I don't know the exact time. This information came from Qingzhou, and the way of delivery was very deliberate. It seems that it was deliberately to let us know."

Yuan Shao couldn't help frowning: "Intentional? It must be Zheng Xianmou's trick again. Is he trying to confuse us so that we can't accurately judge the situation?"

"Everyone, is Zang Hong's declaration of war this time a real war or a fake war? Or, is this just a suspicious strategy by Liu Bei and others?"

Feng Ji glanced at Xu You and Xun Chen, stood up and said, "General, Ji believes that Zang Hong's declaration of war is just Zheng Xianmou's plan to suspect soldiers."

"If Qingzhou hadn't deliberately passed on information, it would be very difficult for us to know what happened in Xudu, let alone know that Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were imprisoned by Cao Cao, and that Lu Bu had voted for Cao Cao."

"Zheng Xianmou is the best at playing with mysteries. This strategy must be to mislead us to use troops against Yanzhou."

"In the southern states, Liu Bei occupies Qingxuyang, Zang Hong occupies Yanzhou, Cao Cao occupies Yuzhou, and Liu Biao occupies Jingzhou. If the six states are united, it will be difficult for Ming Gong to pacify the six states."

"The hearts of the six prefectures are not in harmony, and it is difficult for Liu Bei to compete with Duke Ming only by relying on the strength of the three prefectures."

"That's why we set up a strategy of recharging our energy and recharging our energy to wait and see the changes in Nanzhou, so as to respond to all changes without change."

"Zheng Ping's plan must be to let Minggong send troops to Yanzhou first, and then lead Cao Cao to send troops. Liu Bei will then gather troops from the three states of Qing, Xu, and Yang to go north. Cao Cao and Liu Bei go north, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou can only send troops."

"At that time, Liu Bei will gather soldiers from six prefectures to fight against Duke Ming, and the victory or defeat will be between five and five."

Shen Pei also said: "Duke Ming, Pei also agrees with Yuan Tu's analysis. Liu Bei has a grudge with Cao Cao, and no one is willing to submit to the other. It is almost impossible for Liu Bei to gather soldiers from the six states in a normal way."

"That's why Zheng Ping used this trick to trick Minggong. If Minggong sent troops to Yanzhou, Zheng Ping would be able to turn the hostess into hostage and let Cao Cao take the initiative to ask Liu Bei for help."

"If the Duke of Ming sends troops to Yanzhou, he will fall into Zheng Xianmou's tricks!"

Yuan Shao suddenly realized, and said angrily: "Zheng Xianmou is really treacherous, he wants to make this general compete with Cao Cao, so that he can let Liu Bei take advantage of it."

"Since we have seen through Zheng Ping's trick, how should we deal with it?"

"If you don't respond, won't you make Zheng Xianmou laugh at you?"

Not responding is actually the most correct response, but Yuan Shao felt that this was too embarrassing.

You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder.

Use tricks, dismantle tricks, counter tricks, you punch, I kick.

Feng Ji said again: "Zheng Xian plotted this plan and plotted Zang Hong, Cao Cao and Minggong together. Since Minggong saw through this plan, then naturally Zang Hong and Cao Cao must also see through this plan."

"Duke Ming doesn't need to garrison Yecheng, but let General Wen Chou increase his troops and attack Nanpi City!"

"Zang Hong is an incompetent man. Even if war is declared, he will not be able to defeat the Yellow River."

"If I were Cao Cao, seeing Duke Ming attacking Nanpi City, I would definitely order Lu Bu to snatch Yanzhou."

Yuan Shao shook his head: "That's not right! Zang Hong is incompetent, but Cao Cao is proficient in the art of war. If Cao Cao is allowed to take Yanzhou and see our army attacking Nanpi, Cao Cao will definitely cross the river and seize Wei County."

"Cao Cao is harder to deal with than Zang Hong."

Feng Ji smiled and said: "If Duke Ming is worried about Cao Cao crossing the river, he can order Ma Teng and Han Sui of Bingzhou to attack Luoyang. As long as Cao Cao dares to cross the river, Ma Teng and Han Sui can enter Yingchuan from Luoyang!"

"Shewei County, break Yingchuan, we will trade cities for cities and land for land with Cao Cao!"

"Wei County is lost, Duke Ming can take it back at any time, but Yingchuan is defeated, not only can kill Liu Xie, but also take back the Jade Seal of Chuanguo!"

"Cao Cao's loss of Xudu is equivalent to Qin's loss of Xianyang, and all ambitious people in the world can become kings and stand on their own."

"In what name can Liu Bei gather soldiers from the six states to defend against Duke Ming?"

"Is it the king or the emperor?"

"But Liu Bei can be called emperor, Liu Biao can also be called emperor, and Cao Cao can also be called emperor!"

"No matter how you look at it, Duke Ming is the biggest beneficiary."

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, he got up and paced, carefully pondering the feasibility of Feng Ji's strategy.

After a long time, Yuan Shao looked at Xu You and Xun Chen: "Zi Yuan, You Ruo, what do you think of Yuan Tu's plan!"

Xun Chen had a grudge against Fengji, and wanted to refute Fengji's strategy, but thinking of the current situation, he suppressed his thoughts: "Duke Ming, Fengyuantu's plan is feasible."

Seeing Xun Chen agreeing, Xu You shook his head secretly.

"If you agree with Fengji's strategy, Fengji will not thank you."

Immediately, Xu You stood up slowly, glanced at Fengji, and retorted: "Ming Gong, although Fengji's words have some truth, but they underestimate Zheng Ping too much."

"If Zheng Ping's strategy is so simple, how could Fengji and Judgment be almost killed last time?"

During the meeting and trial match, the eyes suddenly became unfriendly.

"Bastard Xu You, you actually exposed the fault!"
