Chapter 48 Xun Yu was impressed by Li Yu's strategy of driving away wolves and devouring tigers.

Although Li Yu is now a military advisor, he is a general.

But in the past, he was a poisonous person under Liu Bei's account.

It can be said that no one knows Liu Bei better than Li Yu.

Now that the Prime Minister wants to fight Liu Bei, Li Yu must have the most say.

Facing everyone's gaze, Li Yu smiled and spread his hands:"Everyone, I, Li Yu, always have only one strategy."

"Hahaha!"Everyone burst into laughter.

Asking Li Yu to offer suggestions was basically a simple matter.

And he himself also wanted to be a pioneer.

This is already a well-known thing.

Guo Jia stepped forward, shook his feather fan lightly and said:

"Prime Minister, the imperial court is now in ruins and waiting to be revitalized."

"All walks of life have just started, so it’s not appropriate to raise troops to fight again! Cao

Cao nodded:"Wen Ruo is right, but if Yuan Shao defeats Gongsun Zan, it will not be easy to defeat Xuzhou again!"

At this time Xun Yu stood up and said:"My lord, I have a plan called Two Tigers Competing for Food!""

"Elaborate!"Cao Cao stretched out his hand to signal.

Xun Yu nodded and said immediately:

"Although Liu Bei won Xuzhou, it was not an imperial decree!"

"The lord can petition the emperor to order Liu Bei to be the shepherd of Xuzhou!"

"Then he told Liu Bei in a secret letter and ordered him to get rid of Lu Bu!"

"Send people to spread the news to Lu Bu!"

"The two are bound to go to war. If two tigers fight, one of them will be injured!"

"No matter who wins or loses, the Prime Minister will benefit"

"In the coming year, we will command Xuzhou and seize all the territory!"

"Um!"Cao Cao nodded and looked at Li Yu again:

"Wu Feng knows Liu Bei best as a person. How about Wen Ruo's plan?"

Li Yu cupped his hands and signaled:

"Prime Minister, Xun Lingjun’s plan is very short!"

"However, I can predict"

"This strategy will never work against Liu Bei!"

"oh? Cao Cao was surprised:"Why?" Li

Yu said:"Liu Bei only needs to present the secret letter to Lu Bu face to face, and this plan will be defeated!""

"Um!"Cao Cao nodded:"A hundred secrets and a sparse, you are looking down on Liu Bei!"

"The military advisor said that he hit the key point of this plan. Xun Yu admired him! Xun Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Cao Cao said,"Is there any good strategy for Wu Feng?"

Li Yu said:"We can use Xun Lingjun's plan and make some changes!""

"oh?"Cao Cao was surprised

"How to change it?"Xun Yu couldn't help but be curious.

The strategy of two tigers competing for food has obviously been broken!

Li Yu hurriedly said:

"Two tigers competing for food, instead of driving the wolf to devour the tiger!"

"The prime minister still ordered Liu Bei to be the pastor of Xuzhou!"

"He can be ordered to attack Huainan Yuan Shu!"

"Then he secretly trusted Yuan Shu and said that Liu Bei was going to capture the land of Huainan!"

"It is absolutely impossible for Yuan Shu to hand over the secret message to Liu Bei, and the two families will inevitably go to war! Hearing this, Cao

Cao burst out laughing:"Wonderful, what a brilliant plan!""

"Admire, admire!"

He can even predict that Li Yu's achievements in the future will surely surpass all civil and military achievements.

Li Yu also knows that the current court is not suitable for directly sending troops to attack Xuzhou.

Driving away wolves and devouring tigers is already a strategy that is more in line with the status quo.

"Prime Minister, I have something to ask of you! Cao

Cao waved his hand:"You don't need to tell me, if I attack Xuzhou in the future, I will order you to be the vanguard!""

"Thank you, Prime Minister! Li Yu clasped his hands and bowed to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao then ordered:

"Wen Ruo immediately asked the emperor to summon Liu Bei as the Mu of Xuzhou and ordered him to conquer Huainan!"

"Please help me compile my book for Yuan Shu and inform Liu Bei of my intention to attack Huainan!"

"The remaining generals will return to their headquarters to train their troops and horses, and wait for the battle in Xuzhou next year!"

"We will obey the Prime Minister's orders!"The civil servants and military generals handed over their hands one after another and exited the meeting hall.

A few days later, the imperial edict was sent to Xuzhou.

Liu Bei received the edict.

Liu Bei summoned civil and military officials and went to the lobby of the state government to hear the title.

The envoy read out the edict:"The imperial edict has granted Liu Bei the title of Mu of Xuzhou. Lead everything in Xuzhou!

Liu Bei knelt down and saluted:"Liu Bei, the pastor of Xuzhou, thanks the emperor!""

"Congratulations to Shijun Liu!"The envoy stepped forward to help Liu Bei up and handed over the edict with both hands.

"Thank you messenger!"Liu Bei took the edict with a smile on his face.

The messenger took out the second edict.

"This is the second message of the Emperor. I am not in a position to read it out. Please leave it to your own discretion!"

""Okay." Liu Bei nodded and took the second edict.

The envoy turned to say goodbye and left the state capital immediately.

The civil and military affairs in Xuzhou were bustling.

Zhang Fei shouted:

"From now on, the eldest brother will be granted the title of Xuzhou Mu by the imperial court."

"That thief Lu Bu can't steal it even if he wants to!"

"Let’s have a few hundred tables of banquets to celebrate!"

Everyone laughed.

But Liu Bei, who opened the second edict, looked solemn.

Guan Yu asked:"Brother, what is the emperor's order in this second edict? Liu

Bei handed the edict to Guan Yu and said:

"Yuan Shu secretly hid the jade seal and had long wanted to proclaim himself emperor!"

"The emperor ordered me to send troops to attack Yuan Shu!"

"But he was afraid that Yuan Shu would know the news in advance, so he didn't let the envoy read it out!"

Guan Yu read the edict and handed it to other civil and military officials.

After everyone read the edict, they all stopped laughing.

Mi Zhu said:"My lord, this must be Cao Cao's cunning plan. I will grant you the title of Mu of Xuzhou and ask you to fight Yuan Shu.!

Zhang Fei also said:"Brother, you can't fall into Cao Cao's tricks!""

"That's right! Guan Yu also said:

"Cao Cao proclaimed himself Prime Minister and took charge of the government."

"The emperor's edict is like his edict! Chen

Deng said:"It was Cao Cao who asked my lord to attack Yuan Shu in Huainan. It must be Cao Cao who appointed my lord as the shepherd of Xuzhou!" Liu

Bei nodded:

"Yuan Long’s words make sense!"

"If I don't obey the edict, Cao Cao will take the opportunity to attack!"

"Besides, Yuan Shu was so ambitious that he should have been punished!

Chen Deng raised his hands and said,"My lord is wise!"

Sun Qian then asked:"If my lord sends troops to attack Yuan Shu, who should be the first to defend Xuzhou?" Liu

Bei looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei:"Yun Chang or Yide, who among you can guard Xuzhou?"

Guan Yu arrived:"Brother, I am willing to defend Xuzhou!" Liu

Bei shook his head:"I want to discuss military affairs with you day and night, how can I leave you to guard Xuzhou?"

Zhang Fei said:"Since the second brother can't stay, I will guard Xuzhou!"

Liu Bei said:"You can't defend Xuzhou!" Zhang

Fei was unhappy and asked Liu Bei:"Brother, why can't I, Zhang Fei, defend Xuzhou?""

"First, you often whip the sergeants when you are drunk. If I leave, there will be chaos!"

"Secondly, you act recklessly and don't listen to others' advice. I don't trust you!"

"With these two things in mind, you must not be ordered to defend Xuzhou! Hearing this, Zhang

Fei patted his chest and said:

"Don’t worry, brother. From today on, I, Zhang Fei, will no longer drink alcohol or whip sergeants."

"You can leave Chen Yuanlong to assist me and report to you at any time. I will listen to him!"

Liu Bei smiled and turned to look at Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu said:"My lord, I'm afraid that the second general promised this, but refused to implement it!

Zhang Fei said:"I am willing to issue a military order!""

"good! Liu Bei said:"Go to the pen and ink!""

Mi Zhu immediately brought pens, inks, paper and inkstones.

Zhang Fei drew on the spot.

Liu Bei felt relieved.

Three days later, Liu Bei led the army out of Xuzhou and headed straight for Huainan.

At this time, Yuan Shu, who was far away in Huainan, had received the news.

"I still didn’t believe it when Cao Ah Ma wrote the letter!"

"Liu Bei dared to attack me with cavalry today! General Ji Ling said:"

My lord, Liu Bei must be asking for credit from the imperial court for this move!" Yuan

Shu said loudly:

"Who is Liu Bei?"

"How dare those who weave mats and sell shoes dare to invade my realm?"

"Who gave him the guts?"

Military advisor Yan Xiang said:

"Lord, this must be Cao Cao's plan"

"Why not send an envoy to see Liu Bei and make peace between the two families?"

"Lest you fall into Cao Cao’s tricks!"

Yuan Shu waved his hand:

"So what if it was Cao Cao's plan?"

"The arrow is on the string and must be fired!"

"Today I will use my plan to destroy Liu Bei first and then take Xuzhou!"

"I made his dream come true!

Ji Ling immediately clasped his fists and said,"My lord is wise!"

All the generals also handed over their hands:"My lord is so wise and powerful!"

Yuan Shu said:"Order your troops immediately, and I will personally lead the army to attack Liu Bei!""

"Here!"The generals clasped their fists.

Three days later, Yuan Shu raised troops in Huainan to fight against Liu Bei.
