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

Chapter 322 Liu Bei's amazing move
Xu You's arrival made Cao Cao very excited.

This means that Guo Jia's strategy of fishing in troubled waters and making chaos first has worked.

"Ziyuan, I haven't seen you for many years, but I still look good." Cao Cao warmly invited Xu You into the commander's tent to reminisce about the old days.

Xu You was also not polite, and he did not have the slightest caution and fear of entering the enemy camp alone.

"Meng De, you have a problem for Benchu." Xu You drank sake and began to fool around.

However, Cao Cao is also a treacherous person. When he saw Xu You like this, he quickly approached him and said, "Don't lie to Ziyuan, it is really helpless to make such a bad plan. If not, Cao will be captured by Liu Bei."

"The fight between Cao and Benchu ​​is just a rivalry between brothers, and Liu Bei is the big problem."

Xu You snorted coldly and said contemptuously: "Meng De, why did you lie to me? If there was no Liu Bei, the world would have been taken by Ben Chu long ago. You just want to lure Liu Bei to fight with Ben Chu so that you can benefit from it."

"It's not easy to refuse at the beginning of Bai Rili, so I sent you to see Meng De, killing the emperor to recognize Liu Xie, it is impossible!"

"How could it be possible to cut off its own arm at the beginning?"

"If Meng De really thinks about the original, why not kill Liu Xie, and invest in the original with the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, how about working together to deal with Liu Bei?"

Seeing Xu You like this, Cao Cao immediately understood.

Yuan Shao felt that the profit was too little, so he asked Xu You to bargain.

"Ziyuan, if you kill the Son of Heaven, Cao will be cast aside by the people of the world. You can't do that!" Cao Cao politely rejected Xu You's proposal, saying: "If you think that the position of general is not enough at first, Cao can give up Sikong again. job."

With Cao Cao's words, the treacherous appearance is fully displayed.

For the court of Xudu, if Cao Cao wanted Sikong to hold the power alone, that would be Cao Sikong; if Cao Cao wanted Situ to hold the power alone, that would be Cao Situ.

If Sikong and Situ can't do it anymore, they can still call themselves Da Sima.

Whether it is Sikong, Situ or Da Sima, there is no difference in essence.

Xu You squinted his eyes and stood up: "Since Meng De refuses to tell the truth, You can only leave."

"Ziyuan!" Cao Cao hurriedly grabbed Xu You, helped him to sit down, and poured wine for Xu You to make amends, then wiped his eyes with his sleeves, and cried, "Ziyuan, are you really going to die without saving Cao? "

Xu You remained motionless, shaking the wine bottle: "Meng De, you and I have known each other for many years, why use this trick again. If you don't give Ben Chu some benefits, how can Ben Chu agree?"

"As long as you take advantage of the dispute between Meng De and Liu Bei, Benchu ​​goes south to surprise Xudu, Meng De, you will be homeless."

"You thought, Meng De, you can go out of the account to discuss with others before making a decision."

Cao Cao wiped his cuffs again, stood up and laughed, "Ziyuan is right! Ziyuan wait for a while, Cao will come as soon as he goes."

off account.

Guo Jia has long been waiting.

"Ming Gong, how is the talk going?" Guo Jia asked in a low voice.

Cao Cao shook his head and sighed softly: "Ziyuan and Cao are old acquaintances, it's hard to deceive him."

If it were someone else, Cao Cao might have succeeded in cheating.

But Xu You knew Cao Cao too well, and Xu You knew Cao Cao's treachery very well.

After listening carefully, Guo Jia already had a countermeasure in his mind: "I heard that Xu Ziyuan in Nanyang is greedy by nature. Jia thinks that instead of saying that Xu Ziyuan is seeking benefits for Yuan Shao, it is better to say that Xu Ziyuan wants to seek benefits for himself."

"Duke Ming can go to see Xu Ziyuan again, and if he wins you over with money and beauty, Xu Ziyuan will definitely let go."

Cao Cao thought so too.

It's just that I'm not sure, so I went out to discuss with Guo Jia.

After thinking for a while, Cao Cao returned to the tent and poured wine for Xu You with a big smile: "Ziyuan, you are a guest from afar, and Cao has nothing good to entertain you."

"Recently, His Majesty has rewarded some tributes. If Ziyuan is interested, he will give them to Ziyuan to watch at his leisure."

Xu You's pupils shrank, and soon returned to normal: "Meng De, why do you and I have such a friendship, these tributes are all strange things, how can you win the favor of others."

Cao Cao waved his hand generously: "Giving treasures to friends is a joy in life. In addition, Cao has prepared a few carts of worthless things for Ziyuan."

Seeing Cao Cao's understanding, Xu You finally let go: "Meng De, don't say you don't miss the old love, after all, you also have to think about the original. In addition to the previous conditions, there is another Hanoi County!"

Hanoi County is located in the throat of the world.

Guangwu used Hanoi to determine the world, which shows its importance.

Although Ma Tenghan was stationed in Luoyang, in fact Hanoi County was not controlled by Yuan Shao.

Since he wanted to agree to Cao Cao's proposal, Xu You naturally wanted to control the strategically important Hanoi County.

Cao Cao frowned suddenly.

If Hanoi County is controlled by Yuan Shao, it will hang over Cao Cao's head like a sharp knife.

However, in the current situation, Yuan is strong and Cao is weak. If he wants to gain benefits, he must pay the price first.

a long time.

Cao Cao sighed deeply: "Ziyuan, you really have nothing to say about Cao."

Xu You smiled lightly: "Meng De, if you assist Ben Chu with You, Liu Bei can be defeated with a backhand."

Cao Cao agreed to Xu You's terms and promised to withdraw his troops and give up Hanoi County.

The condition is that Yuan Shao must announce his surrender to Liu Xie within one month in the three northern states.

Cao Cao will also play to Liu Xie, showing Yuan Shao as a general, supervising the affairs of You, Ji, and the three states.

As for whether Yuan Shao would repent, Cao Cao was not worried.

After all, Yuan Shao is the biggest beneficiary of this peace negotiation.

"Let Yuan Shao be the general, what about this general?" Lu Bu approached Cao Cao and expressed his strong dissatisfaction.

Whoever moves General Lu Bu, Lu Bu will move.

Looking at Lu Bu's red eyes, Cao Cao was already prepared: "Why should Marquis Wen care about a great general? This time he can negotiate peace with Yuan Shao and recover You, Ji, and the three prefectures in name. Marquis Wen has made great achievements."

"Cao will play the role of the emperor, and promote Marquis Wen to be the great Sima, who is above the three princes. Isn't he much stronger than the general?"

This official position in Xudu, Cao Cao can give it whatever he wants.

To General Yuan Shao, to Sima Lu Bu, the essence has not changed much.

It's just that the picture is justified.

Lu Bu's anger gradually dissipated: "Da Sima, it's not bad."

In fact, Lu Bu didn't really miss the position of the general. Now that he is married to Cao Cao, he will be both prosperous and hurt. It's just because of his face that he can't step down, so he went to Cao Cao angrily.

Cao Cao promised to give Lu Bu Da Sima, and naturally he also gave Lu Bu the steps.

Yuan Shao is also very satisfied with Xu You, and Yuan Shao is also very clear about the geographical location of Hanoi County.

"Occupying Hanoi County, any future actions of Meng De will be under the nose of the general, and there will be no trouble." Yuan Shao is quite proud.

The actions of both sides are very secretive.

Yuan Shao is not stupid and sweet, and he will not make this matter public until he receives Liu Xie's imperial decree and the general's seal.

But Cao Cao was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he personally returned to Xudu to ask Liu Xie for an imperial edict.

It is said to be asking for it, but in fact there is no need to negotiate with Liu Xie at all, just notify Liu Xie.

Ten days later, Lu Bu and Cao Cao withdrew from Weijun and returned to Dongjun.

At the same time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao each preached.

It was half a month after Liu Bei got the news.

"Yuan Shao killed the false emperor and surrendered?"

"The Son of Heaven appointed Yuan Shao as a great general, governors of You, Ji, and Bing?"

"how can that be?"

The conspiracy between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao surprised Liu Bei.

But at the next moment, Liu Bei's anger erupted instantly: "Cao Mengde's heart can be punished for talking about the adultery with Yuan Ni in such a high-sounding way!"

In just half a month, Yuan Shao turned into a general conferred by Liu Xie.

Cao Cao must have acted arbitrarily on this matter, without discussing it with the Minister of Cultural Relics, and even refused to accept Liu Xie's opinion, and started the matter directly.

How can Liu Bei endure such contempt for the authority of the great man?
Yuan Shao was originally the general of the false emperor, and now he has become the general of Liu Xie. He still supervises the affairs of Youji and the three states. Except for the name change, there is no other change!

"Xianmou, I intend to send troops to Xudu, and the Qing emperor is on the side!" Liu Bei's anger remained undiminished.

Regarding Yuan Shao's transformation into a general, Liu Bei did not admit it!
This is too childish!
"Cao Cao is trying to delay time."

"Unfortunately, the timing is wrong."

Zheng Ping shook his feather fan, not paying much attention to it.

"If you cooperate with Yuan Shao when Gongsun Bogui kills the false emperor, maybe you can cause trouble for the envoy."

"Now, I will only give the envoy a reason to send troops."

"If my predictions are correct, Yuan Shao will soon send someone to claim Nanpi City."

Liu Bei snorted coldly: "If he wants it, will I give it?"

"Of course I will. After all, Yuan Shao is now supervising the affairs of You, Ji, and Bing the three prefectures!" Zheng Ping chuckled.

Liu Bei was suddenly puzzled: "Really? Show conspiracy, why is this?"

Zheng Ping smiled: "We can't give Yuan Shao a reason to send troops. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao must have thought that the envoy would take Nanpi City by force."

"Yuan Shao and the envoy had a dispute over the battle in Nanpi City, and Cao Cao would pretend to persuade them to make peace, and then achieve the purpose of delaying time."

"Your envoy can do the opposite, withdraw troops directly from Nanpi City, retreat the defense line to Pingyuan Country, and not give Yuan Shao a reason to send troops."

"At the same time, the envoy sent all six battalions of soldiers to take down Jiyin, Shanyang, Chenliu, and Dong counties with lightning speed. If anyone asks, they will say that Cao Cao is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country."

"Shoot down the entire territory of Yanzhou first, and then let Cao Cao distinguish."

"It's a good deal to exchange half of Yanzhou for one Nanpi City."

"If you want to be a fisherman, Cao Cao doesn't have the qualifications!"

"If Feng Ji can successfully persuade Ma Teng and Han Sui to send troops to Yingchuan, and give Cao Cao another fatal blow, Cao Cao will be convicted of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country!"

"Weakness is the original sin."

"Cao Cao's skills are poor!"

Guo Jia's layout is actually not a big problem.

By negotiating to delay time, you can also gain the reputation of recovering lost ground.

At the same time, it also gave Cao Cao the opportunity to completely stabilize Jingzhou and Guanzhong.

As for Liu Bei's psychology, Guo Jia did guess it.

How could Nanpi City give up such an important place so easily?

As long as Liu Bei is unwilling to give up Nanpi City, Yuan Shao will definitely send troops to attack.

however.

Guo Jia failed to guess what Zheng Ping was thinking.

The gains and losses of a city and a pool are not too important to Zheng Ping.

Give up Nanpi City today, and you can take back Nanpi City in the future.

Zheng Ping's layout route has always been multi-line parallel, taking advantage of the situation.

If you can make the Northern Expedition, you can take the Northern Expedition, and if you can't, you can take Yanzhou.

If Cao Cao had devoted all his energy to the Northern Expedition, Zheng Ping would have been able to directly defeat the entire territory of Jizhou.

If Cao Cao had two minds as he does now, Zheng Ping would first take down the whole of Yanzhou.

As for the teacher who has no name?

Liu Bei "stubbornly" believed that Cao Cao had an affair with Yuan Shao and attacked Jiyin County, Shanyang County, Chenliu County, and Dong County in anger, which can be forgiven.

After all, Cao Cao didn't discuss it with Liu Bei, so Liu Bei could "mistakenly" think that Cao Cao had an affair with Yuan Shao.

First occupy the entire territory of Yanzhou, and then listen to Cao Cao's judgment. At most, Liu Bei will pretend to apologize to Cao Cao afterwards.

As for returning Yanzhou?

Yanzhou, which was defeated by strength, should be returned?
Cao Cao can cheat, and Liu Bei can also cheat.

This boring loss, Cao Cao is determined!

Zheng Ping would be even happier if Feng Ji made another unexpected move.

Even if Yuan Shao sincerely negotiated peace, as long as Feng Ji hit Xu Du, from Liu Xie to Gongqing, who would believe that Yuan Shao sincerely surrendered?

After Liu Bei listened to Zheng Ping's analysis, his anger gradually dissipated, replaced by joy.

"If this is the case, Cao Cao will no longer be able to occupy Yanzhou!"

"It's just Nanpi City, if you lose it, you lose it."

Seeing that Liu Bei no longer cared about Nanpi City, Zheng Ping said again: "Your envoy, you can first withdraw the soldiers and horses of the Sixth Battalion into the territory of Dongping Kingdom. Four counties."

"Don't give Cao Cao time to respond!"

Conspiracy Conspiracy, the main thing is a surprise, fast, accurate, and ruthless.

Just like Cao Cao negotiated peace with Yuan Shao without hiding Liu Bei, he did it first and then prepared to speak to Liu Bei.

Similarly, Zheng Ping also wanted Cao Cao to suffer this dark loss.

Under the dispatch of Zheng Ping, the soldiers and horses of the Sixth Battalion quietly arrived in Dongping Kingdom.

The Ruishi Battalion of Qinghe Kingdom also set up a false flag, and the main force quietly returned to Dongping Kingdom.

Just when Cao Cao thought that Liu Bei was going to send someone to question him, he suddenly received an urgent report from Li Dian that Shanyang County was captured by Liu Bei.

Immediately afterwards, an urgent report came from Jiyin County.

Cao Cao was stunned immediately.

"what happened?"

"When did Liu Bei's troops return to Yanzhou?"

The time difference made Cao Cao very confused.

In Cao Cao's view, when Yuan Shao's envoy arrived in Nanpi City, Liu Bei must first seek Cao Cao's theory.

How can there be no reason to ignore it and start fighting directly?

"It's bad, Liu Bei is going to give up the city of Jizhou and grab Yanzhou directly!"

Soon, Cao Cao reacted and understood Liu Bei's intention.

The diversion of disasters to the east failed, and the flames of war burned to Cao Cao again.

Cao Cao couldn't help stamping his feet and cursing: "Is Liu Bei's brain full of water? Don't you know that Yuan Shao is the biggest enemy?"

Liu Bei beheaded Yan Liang, and Yuan Shao beat Cao Cao.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao made peace, and Liu Bei fought Cao Cao.

This made Cao Cao very uncomfortable. Why did he only pick on the weak?

Guo Jia also did not expect that Liu Bei, who has always paid attention to his reputation, would suddenly send troops.

"Failed!"

"Liu Bei's goal is not the Northern Expedition, it has always been Yanzhou!"

"Duke Ming, retreat to Chenliu immediately. If Liu Bei captures Chenliu, we will have no way out!"

"If Duke Ming is trapped in Dongjun, something will happen to Xudu's court."

Guo Jia made a prompt decision and spoke out to persuade him.

Cao Cao's face also changed drastically!

If the army is out alone, if they are cut off from their way back, the court ministers will definitely attack!
