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

Chapter 323 Xu Du fell, and Yuan Cao's army fought again

Bing is very fast, and Liu Bei's counterattack is very fast.

In addition to the strategic purpose of seizing Yanzhou, Liu Bei also brought some personal grievances more or less.

Therefore, except for the Baimao Battalion and the Euphorbia Battalion who followed Liu Bei, the Ruishi Battalion, Xiandeng Battalion, Pojun Battalion, Baipao Battalion, and Shesheng Battalion were all dispatched.

Zhang Fei first took Shanyang County, defeated Li Dian's father Li Gan, and occupied Shanyang County.

Then Guan Yu and Sun Jian Qi attacked Jiyin County, and Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong doubled down to attack Chenliu County.

Sun Ce Lusu, who was originally in the west of Chengping, went south from Qinghe Kingdom to take Dongjun.

In ten days, Liu Bei destroyed more than ten cities in four counties.

While destroying the city, Liu Bei spread the word to all counties in the four counties, threatening that Cao Cao had cheated on Yuan Shao, and he had acted rebelliously.

At the same time, Liu Bei adopted Zheng Ping's strategy and sent people to Xudu to play a memorial to impeach Cao Cao for collaborating with the enemy.

The main thing is to strike first!

All of a sudden, rumors arose between Yanzhou and Xu.

Cao Cao acted arbitrarily, and was extremely cruel on weekdays, which had already dissatisfied the officials and old ministers in the court. When Liu Bei made a statement, a large number of supporters suddenly emerged.

Liu Xie resented Cao Cao's arrogance for taking the imperial decree to stamp himself, and also pretended to be stupid in the court.

Although Xun Yu and others tried their best to defend Cao Cao, it was difficult for everyone to argue. All the old ministers seemed to have caught Cao Cao's lifeline, and all kinds of accusations and inferences wanted to define the rumors as facts.

And Cao Cao in Yanzhou was also uncomfortable.

Although Guo Jia judged the situation decisively, in the end it was still a bad move, and Liu Bei snatched Chenliu County first, cutting off Cao Cao's direct return to Xudu.

Although Lu Bu is brave, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are not good at it.

Especially after Huang Zhong and Lv Bu tried archery, Cao Cao's heart suddenly became very gloomy.

"Liu Bei moved too fast."

"I can almost say that I know the deployment of troops in the four counties of Chenliu."

"Northern Expedition Yuan Shao, is it just a bait?"

Cao Cao thinks he is good at surprise attacks, and his main focus is to catch him by surprise.

But now, Cao Cao was tricked by Liu Bei in the surprise attack.

Whether it is timing or route, Liu Bei is always one step ahead of Cao Cao.

If it was a normal defense and siege, it would be impossible for Liu Bei to seize Chenliu County so quickly.

However, Cao Cao's main forces were all in Dongjun, and there were almost no troops stationed in Chenliu.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei secretly transferred his troops back to Yanzhou, which caught Cao Cao by surprise.

Coupled with Chen Liu's appeal from Bian Wenli, several of Chen Liu's cities did not even offer symbolic resistance.

After all, the famous officials in Yanzhou all said that Cao Cao had colluded with the enemy, can this be false?
"Come on, send a message to Liu Bei's camp!"

Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were blocked in Dongjun, and their anger could not be concealed.

Although Cao Cao could go west to Kuangting into Hanoi and return to Xudu by detour, Cao Cao couldn't swallow this breath!

Why do you have to let Liu Bei occupy Yanzhou and return to Xudu in despair?
However, Cao Cao's messenger was kicked out without even entering Liu Bei's camp.

The pawns guarding the gate of the village even taunted "Treason generals and thieves, everyone will punish them", and Cao Cao was so angry that he almost wanted to fight Liu Bei.

"Duke Ming, Yanzhou can't be kept. Go back to Xudu quickly to avoid accidents." Guo Jia was a little worried.

Ma Teng and Han Sui were still eyeing Luoyang, if Yuan Shao repented temporarily, it would really be a wrong step, a wrong step.

Cao Cao shook his head: "It's okay! Benchu ​​has agreed to negotiate a peace, and Hanoi County has also been handed over to Benchu. Benchu's soldiers and horses will not attack Xudu. If Xu has Wenruo, those old ministers will not be able to make waves. Cao is spending his time here in Dongjun, how long will Liu Bei consume?"

"Liu Bei beheaded Yan Liang and took Nanpi City. It was impossible for him not to hold grudges at first."

"If you see Yanzhou confronting each other, you must have coveted Qingzhou at the beginning."

"Liu Bei, don't dare to confront Cao for too long in Yanzhou."

Although Yuan Shao agreed to negotiate a peace, it does not mean that he will not send troops.

The premise of sending troops is to see if the benefits are sufficient!
If the benefits are enough, Yuan Shao can take the opportunity to win Qingzhou, then what kind of covenant will he care about, he will be invincible directly!
Cao Cao was waiting, and so was Liu Bei.

Yuan Shao in Yecheng was also watching the excitement.

The harder Liu Bei and Cao Cao quarreled, the happier Yuan Shao was.

Luoyang.

Feng Ji persuaded Ma Teng and Han Sui again.

"General Ma, General Han, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are confronting Yanzhou. This is a good opportunity for me to send troops to Xudu."

"Once Xudu is broken, we will make an indelible contribution to the new dynasty, and we will be famous in history just around the corner."

Fengji was very excited.

Cao Cao was blocked in Dongjun, which was an excellent opportunity to attack Xudu.

However, Feng Ji's proposal did not make Ma Teng and Han Sui excited, but made Ma Teng and Han Sui feel jealous.

"The general has already killed the emperor of Zhuocheng and declared his submission to the emperor of Xudu. If we attack Xudu by force, wouldn't we violate the order of the general?" Ma Teng expressed his suspicion.

Han Sui also said: "Feng Jianjun, it's not that I don't believe you. It's just that Xu Du was beaten. Didn't the general become a rebel?"

Feng Ji stomped his feet and said: "General Ma, General Han, do you really think that the general will kill the emperor of Zhuocheng? Did the general send the head of the emperor of Zhuocheng to Xudu?"

"no!"

"This is just the general's plan to slow down the troops. It is used to confuse Cao Cao and make Cao Cao retreat."

"Now that Cao Cao and Liu Bei are confronting Yanzhou, it is exactly the situation that the general expects. The snipe and the clam will fight, and the fisherman will benefit!"

"If you don't take Xudu at this time, when will you wait?"

Ma Teng and Han Sui looked at each other, but the suspicion in their hearts had not completely disappeared.

Han Sui said again: "Although Liu Bei and Cao Cao are confronting each other in Yanzhou, if Xu Du is in danger, how can Chen Liu's Liu Bei army not save Xu Du?"

"Surprise attack! Do you know what a surprise attack is?" Feng Ji felt like he was playing the piano against a cow.

But thinking of borrowing Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops, Feng Ji forcibly suppressed his dissatisfaction and said patiently: "In name, we have already surrendered to Xu Du."

"The two generals entered Xudu in the name of paying tribute. They hid elite soldiers in their cars and took advantage of the situation to seize the city. How can Xudu's defenders stop them?"

"As long as Liu Xie is captured, we will be famous all over the world!"

"So what if Liu Bei is here? I'm not waiting for the gain or loss of a city or a pool. The goal is to capture Liu Xie alive!"

"Xu can abide by the rules, but he can't abide by the rules and kidnap Liu Xie and other officials to return to Luoyang."

"Who can do anything to me?"

Ma Teng and Han Sui looked at each other again, and then they discussed carefully for a while, and they thought that the plan of discipline was feasible.

"The general really doesn't seem like someone who will submit to Liu Xie. He must have an agreement with Cao Cao, so he made a temporary plan."

"If I take down Xudu, the agreement between the general and Cao Cao will not work."

"Without Liu Xie, it would be impossible for Cao Cao and Liu Bei to form an alliance again, and the great general will surely rule the world."

Decided to attack Xudu by surprise, Ma Teng and Han Sui no longer hesitated, and adopted Fengji's strategy. Ma Teng and Han Sui escorted the tribute into Xudu under the pretext of paying tribute.

Although there are rumors that Cao Cao is collaborating with the enemy, in fact, both Liu Xie and the old ministers know that Cao Cao has not colluded with the enemy, but they all want to take the opportunity to eliminate Cao Cao's power.

Therefore, when Ma Teng and Han Sui sent people to send a letter to come to Xudu to pay tribute in person, Liu Xie and the old ministers expressed their support.

Although Xun Yu tried to persuade him, thinking that Ma Teng and Han Sui must have some schemes to pay tribute at this time, Liu Xie refused to listen and refuted Xun Yu.

The reason is simple and straightforward. Cao Cao has negotiated peace with Yuan Shao, so how can Ma Teng and Han Sui have two minds?

But in the bottom of his heart, Liu Xie suppressed his excitement: If Ma Teng and Han Sui didn't enter Xudu, how could they win over Ma Teng and Han Sui to deal with Cao Cao's remaining forces in Xudu?

In order to show his respect for Ma Teng and Han Sui, Liu Xie decided to go out of the city to meet Ma Teng and Han Sui in person.

Xun Yu was also helpless about this.

It was Cao Cao who proposed peace with Yuan Shao.

The rumors of collaborating with the enemy were deliberately released by Liu Bei.

No matter how you look at it, Ma Teng and Han Sui came to pay tribute. In the eyes of most people, there is no big problem.

In this regard, Xun Yu could only make Xiahou Lian, who was guarding Xudu, be more careful.

a few days later.

Knowing that Liu Xie came out of the city to greet him in person, both Ma Teng, Han Sui and Feng Ji were very surprised.

"It's going so well, is there any fraud?" Han Sui was suspicious and asked Feng Ji.

Ma Teng also looked at Feng Ji.

After all, even Liu Xie came out to greet him in person!
After pondering for a while, Feng Ji guessed what Liu Xie was thinking, and said: "It seems that Cao Cao is unpopular in Xu. Liu Xie wants to take this opportunity to win over the two generals to deal with Cao Cao."

"Ji has a plan, let Liu Bei be the leader, Cao Cao begs to surrender, and the general will rule the world."

When Ma Teng and Han heard the words, they all looked at Feng Ji.

Feng Ji stroked his beautiful beard, quite proudly: "The only ones who are worried about by the general are Cao Cao and Liu Bei."

"Now that Cao Cao made this foolish move to negotiate peace with the general, he was stopped by the angry Liu Bei in Dongjun."

"Cao Cao could have gone to Kuangting and entered Hanoi to return to Xudu, but he chose to stay in Dongjun and refused to leave. Instead, he chose to confront Liu Bei."

"Cao Cao is sure that the general will not tear up the covenant, so he wants to stay in Dongjun and compete with Liu Bei for Yanzhou."

"We can first pretend to cooperate with Liu Xie, officially declare that Cao Cao is collaborating with the enemy, and order Liu Bei to use the imperial edict to attack Cao Cao. If Cao Cao is desperate, he will definitely beg for surrender from the general."

"Without Cao Cao's help, how could Liu Bei resist the general?"

"After Cao Cao begged to surrender, I will hold Liu Xie hostage again and fight against Liu Bei with the general. How can Liu Bei resist?"

"The opportunity for the great generals to rule the world lies in whether the two generals can defeat Cao Cao's soldiers and horses left in Xudu!"

Ma Teng and Han Sui were overwhelmed with emotion.

Let Liu Bei be the head, Cao Cao begged to surrender, and Yuan Shao ruled the world.

Such a great achievement will surely go down in history, and future generations will look up to it forever!

Ma Teng and Han looked at each other, clasped their fists together and said, "I would like to obey the order of the supervising army!"

But in Feng Ji's mind, there were still some things he hadn't told Ma Teng and Han Sui.

These days, Feng Ji has been thinking about why Mi Heng persuaded himself to come to Luoyang.

It wasn't until Liu Bei snatched Yanzhou with lightning speed and intercepted Cao Cao in Dongjun that Feng Ji finally understood Zheng Ping's plan!

Zheng Ping, I don't want Liu Xie to survive!

With Liu Xie here, Liu Bei will be constrained by his reputation and his hands will be tied.

But if Liu Xie dies, as the most prestigious clan member of the Han Dynasty in the world, Liu Bei can succeed as Datong.

Letting Fengji come to Luoyang is Zheng Ping's plan to kill with a knife.

Although he understood Zheng Ping's trick, Feng Ji still chose the trick.

Or in other words, follow the plan!
Fengji also doesn't want Liu Xie to live!

After killing Liu Xie, Yuan Shao could continue to conquer the Quartet under the guise of Zhuocheng Emperor.

The destiny is in Liu, and it will gradually become the destiny in Yuan.

Without Liu Xie, Cao Cao could only rely on Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao, whose surname is not Liu, is not a relative of the Han family, so he is destined not to succeed as Liu Bei.

As long as Liu Xie, the banner of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, is chopped down, the world will become a struggle for hegemony at the end of the Qin Dynasty. Who can become the new destiny depends on who can sweep away the disobedience!
Without Liu Xie, this army is fighting for the world, and everything depends on the size of a fist!

Liu Xie didn't know that half of his foot had already stepped into the gate of hell. Instead, he led the officials and officials out of the city with great interest to meet Ma Teng and Han Sui.

It's also a feudal marquis, a general, and a gift of gold and silver to beauties, all in an effort to win over.

Ma Teng and Han Sui also accepted all of them.

That night.

Ma Chao, who had obtained the secret order, suddenly rushed into Xiahoulian's barracks. Xiahoulian couldn't resist and was captured alive by Ma Chao.

Subsequently, the whole of Xudu faced a major purge.

Almost all of Cao Cao's family members and cronies were captured alive by Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Fengji did not kill Cao Cao's family members and cronies. If Cao Cao was offended too much and Cao Cao voted for Liu Bei in anger, it would ruin Fengji's plan.

At Feng Ji's suggestion, Liu Xie counted Cao Cao's ten crimes in detail, and then sent people to Dongjun to announce the decree. As long as Cao Cao killed himself, his family members and old officials could be punished lightly.

Everything seems to be in line with Liu Xie's wishes.

For all the crimes, only Cao Cao was punished!
Cao Cao is dead, and the rest of the troops are naturally scattered.

When the imperial decree was passed to Dongjun, Cao Cao trembled his hands, it was almost hard to believe that Xu Du had been controlled by Fengji.

"Fengjipifu, how dare you bully me like this!"

Cao Cao tore the imperial decree to pieces, cut off the angel's arm with a sword, and his beast-like eyes were full of fierce light: "Say clearly what you know, word by word."

"If you dare to hesitate, I will chop off your arm again!"

Liu Bei barracks.

It was dark.

A secret agent had sent the information about Ma Teng and Han Sui's entry into Xudu to Zheng Ping.

"Feng Ji has already guessed my thoughts, but Cao Cao is not a person who will be threatened by his family." Zheng Ping's tone was a little more smiling.

In Cao Cao's army, if anyone is captured as a hostage, the hostages will be cut down together!
But now, Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, is also in the army, and Cao Cao has no shortage of heirs.

It is impossible for Fengji to use this to make Cao Cao beg for surrender!
"Want to make peace?"

"Ah--"

"Cao Mengde, although your strategy of negotiating peace has broken the situation where the two emperors are in the same sky, you missed the variable."

Zheng Ping got up to see Liu Bei, and suggested that Liu Bei send a letter to Dongjun. At the same time, he ordered Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong from Chenliu to withdraw their troops so that Cao Cao could return to Xudu.

After receiving Liu Bei's letter, although Cao Cao had doubts in his heart, he didn't think too much about it. Taking Lu Bu as the vanguard, he went to Xudu in the starry night.

Lu Bu couldn't bear it anymore.

His wife and daughter are all in Xudu, but now they are taken hostage by Fengji, if Fengji is not killed, Lu Bu will not be able to get rid of his hatred!
As soon as Cao Cao left, Liu Bei quickly seized Dongjun.

At the same time, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong occupied Chen Liu again.

"Yuan Cao's dispute has resumed. This time, it will not be so easy to negotiate a peace."
