The Invincible Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

And at this moment in Gunzhou, Cao Cao received news from Liu Biao of Jingzhou.

In fact, long before this, Cao Cao's scouts and spies also sent back news from Chang'an, but Cao Cao also received information that Li Jing and Li Cunxiao were overrunning the border. At this moment, he was busy mobilizing troops to defend the north.

The last time when the five-way princes joined forces, Cao Cao confronted Li Jing and Li Cunxiao on the easternmost side. From beginning to end, Cao Cao failed to cross the Yellow River, and it was because of this that Cao Cao suffered the least losses.

And this time, Li Jing and Li Cunxiao had only [-] men, so Cao Cao's army could easily deal with it.

It's just that Cao Cao has summoned a group of civil and military forces, not for the defense of the north, but for Liu Biao's help this time.

"Everyone, Liu Jingsheng sent an envoy to ask for help. Then Liu Rui personally led [-] horses to prepare to invade Jingzhou. I asked you to come here today to discuss whether we should go to support." Cao Cao asked when he saw that everyone had arrived. road.

As soon as the words fell, someone came out and said: "My lord, the last time the seven princes attacked Liu Rui, they were all destroyed by Liu Rui, and Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang ended up in one death and one down, Liu Haosheng. Now that there are millions of soldiers, it is definitely not something that we can stop. The subordinates suggest that the lord keep a low profile, avoid the edge for a while, and then find an opportunity to fight that Liu Rui decisively when we increase our troops and horses in the coming day."

"My lord, Liu Rui holds the Son of Heaven in his hand, and now he is a strong soldier. From the point of view of his subordinates, we might as well send messengers and Liu Rui to form an allied army to plot the territory in the hands of other princes. In the coming day, our territory will be too large and our strength will increase. After that, let's go and compete with Liu Rui!" Someone also made a list of suggestions, and the plan he said made the people around him secretly nod.

"Master, according to the opinion of my subordinates, we should have a relationship with Liu Rui, and then we will have a relationship. In Xu Xutuzhi, we will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future!" Someone else said, but this idea was instantly spurned by everyone. .

Cao Cao has many advisers. At this moment, your words will make the whole hall noisy. At first, Cao Cao was able to carefully think about what the other party said. Later, this noisy voice made Cao Cao also upset. .

It was also at this time that Xi Zhicai, who was on the side, stood up. As Cao Cao's number one advisor, even with Jia Xu now, Cao Cao still relied on Xi Zhicai very much.Immediately, he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Zhicai has any insights, hurry up and listen."

"My lord, Jingzhou is vast and rich in resources. Now Yizhou has been captured by Liu Rui. If Jingzhou is captured, Hanzhong will also be in Liu Rui's pocket in the future. At that time, Liu Rui will be sitting on most of the world, and now we are not Liu Rui. Rui's opponent will be even more irresistible at that time!" Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and opened his mouth, but what he said made the whole hall even more noisy.

Cao Cao saw that many advisors were arguing again, and he immediately reached out and forcibly blocked the voices of everyone, and then he looked at Xi Zhicai again.

"My lord, Jingzhou treats us like lips and teeth. I think everyone present is very clear about the truth that lips die and teeth are cold." Xi Zhicai glanced around, and then said indifferently: "My lord Mingjian, if Liu Rui occupies the Jingzhou, when the time comes, we can be surrounded by the remaining four princes. And our Gunzhou Qingzhou will bear the brunt, and at that time, Jiangdong Sun Ce and Xuzhou's Liu Bei Lu Bu are still unable to protect themselves, so how can they help? Us?" Lazy people listen to the book www.lanren9.com

When Xi Zhicai's words came to this point, the voice in the field gradually became smaller, and some people were whispering about Xi Zhicai's words, and more people were thinking slightly, thinking about the truth of Xi Zhicai's words.

Even Cao Cao nodded again and again, and even smiled: "So what Zhicai means is that we are going to support Liu Biao?"

Xi Zhicai nodded heavily and replied, "Exactly! Not only do we need to help, but we must do our best to help. As long as Liu Biao's Jingzhou is stable, we will have no worries. Besides, if we can defeat Liu Rui's army in Jingzhou, we will be able to do so at that time. We face Li Jing and Li Cunxiao from the north, and Wei Bi has no chance!"

"My lord, what the military advisor Zhicai said makes sense!" Some people even jumped out to support Xi Zhicai, and it didn't take long for a small half of the people in this match to express their support.

Cao Cao nodded again and again and said with a smile: "What Zhicai said is true, but we have to guard against Li Jing's army, and at the same time we have to do our best to help Liu Biao, how can we help?"

"My lord, Li Jing in the north is on the defensive. As long as we don't take the initiative to provoke, then Liu Rui will definitely not fight on two fronts. So in the north, we only need to leave a soldier to defend. Besides, helping Liu Biao with all our strength is not an option. It is to let our army come out in full force, but to provide support in terms of food, grass, and other aspects. The lord can also repair a letter to persuade Liu Bei, Lu Bu and Sun Ce to fully support Liu Biao." Xi Zhicai said solemnly, after a pause, then again He smiled and looked at Cao Cao: "My lord used to be the leader of the Allied forces. If you take the lead, then Liu Bei, Lu Bu and Sun Ce will never regret refusing, and the lord can also promise that if they receive Liu Rui's attack in the future, they can follow this. example to do it.”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Then Sun Ce has only one Yuzhou that borders Liu Rui. If Jingzhou does not leave, then Liu Rui will definitely not attack Sun Ce, and Liu Bei and Lu Bu are far apart from Liu Rui in Xuzhou. Instead, we will be with Liu Rui. Rui borders, and will be attacked by Liu Rui in the future. Now we support Liu Biao, and when we are attacked in the coming day, the rest will definitely come to support us." Cao Cao smiled and smiled, and then looked at it. To the crowd, he said with a smile: "Everyone, do you have any other suggestions? If not, then it will be settled according to what Zhicai said."

Cao Cao's eyes swept across the crowd, and some of them wanted to refute with a calm expression, but when they opened their mouths, they found that they had nothing to say about Xi Zhicai. look at each other.

After looking around for a week, Cao Cao was about to announce the result, but out of the corner of his eyes he suddenly saw Jia Xu sitting on the side with an expressionless face.

At this time, Cao Cao suddenly remembered, it seems that Jia Xu has always had this expression from the beginning to the present.

And this expression, Cao Cao is also very familiar, usually as long as Jia Xu has a plan in his heart, he will do such a thing.But if Cao Cao didn't ask him, then Jia Xu would be very happy and would not take the initiative to speak.

At that moment, Cao Cao opened his mouth and asked, "What should Wen He pay attention to? Come and listen."

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I have some humble opinions here, but..." After saying this, Jia Xu looked embarrassed and bowed his head silently.

However, Cao Cao has come to understand. Although Jia Xu has many clever tricks on weekdays, many of them are cruel and vicious, so they do not want to be heard by others. Only when there is no one will offer advice to Cao Cao. , , .

551: Jia Xu's Plan

After all the people present had left, Jia Xucai bowed deeply to Cao Cao, and then said, "My lord, what Zhicai said is very true, but he has forgotten the nature of this prince. ."

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai were stunned for a moment, then they all looked at Jia Xu in astonishment. This Jia Xu is always beyond the two of them's expectations, but his poisonous schemes are still extremely ruthless, and they can see the effect immediately. .It is precisely because of this that although Cao Cao can't bear Jia Xu's behavior, he is like an addicted person, and he always wants to know what the poisonous plan is in Jia Xu's heart.

Even Xi Zhicai was conceited that his decisions were quite satisfactory, and wanted to know what kind of skills Jia Xu had that could be stronger than himself.

"This subordinate dares to ask your lord, whose world is this world?" Jia Xu opened his mouth and looked at Cao Cao with a smile that was not a smile.

Cao Cao couldn't figure out what Jia Xu meant for a while, and then he pondered: "Jiangshan is naturally the country of the Han family. Wen He asked this question, why?"

Jia Xu shook his head, then smiled: "My lord, Shang died in Zhou, not because of Shang's tyranny, but because of Zhou's strength. Chu was defeated by Han, but also because of Han's ability to keep a low profile and accumulate strength. This world The division and division, the strong prey on the weak, in the final analysis, it is the strength that decides everything.”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and he already vaguely understood what Jia Xu was going to say, but he said somewhat incredulously: "Fang Caizhicai has also said that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. If Liu Biao is dead, what can we do to stop Liu Rui?"

Jia Xu sighed and said, "My lord, have you ever thought that if it was you and not Liu Rui who killed Ma Teng in the past, what would the world be like today?"

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "If I could have captured Sili Bingzhou, the current Jizhou Youzhou, I am afraid it would already be in our pockets."

"The lord is wise, so the subordinates say that the weak eat the weak. Today's princes are the weak, and Liu Rui is the strong eater. If we want to fight against Liu Rui, we can only continue to strengthen our own strength, otherwise we will Putting hope on others is a mirror after all." Jia Xu let out a long sigh, and then smiled bitterly: "If Liu Biao died and Liu Rui failed to occupy Jingzhou, then the lord thinks that Liu Rui can continue to be arrogant. ?"

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai looked at each other and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.It's not that they haven't thought about such a problem, but this kind of problem will be automatically ignored by the two of them. Now the princes can only win by forming a group. If they attack Jingzhou now, how will other princes see them in the future?

"Wenhe! I know that you want the lord to have a larger territory and more troops, but now the princes can only keep warm by holding a group to keep Liu Rui in the area. If this time they fall into the trap and take the opportunity to seize Jingzhou, what will Liu Bei, Lu Bu and Sun Ce think in the future? Us?" Xi Zhicai couldn't help but asked.

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "It's not that we killed Liu Biao, but that Liu Rui killed Liu Biao. We just occupied Jingzhou after Liu Biao's demise."

Cao Cao sighed: "Extremely! At that time, the people of the world will only say that I, Cao Mengde, have been attacked with restraint and dared to take food from the tiger's mouth. How can they accuse us!"

"That's right. Liu Rui's power is too great, but he still can't swallow the princes. As long as he doesn't have this strength, then we have enough leeway." Jia Xu opened his mouth, paused, and smiled again: "So this time to support Jingzhou, the most important thing for us is to weaken Liu Rui's power as soon as possible, so that we can occupy more convenience in the future."

Cao Cao nodded, then sighed: "But Liu Rui's army is [-] people, even if Liu Biao can stop it, I'm afraid there is no way to consume all Liu Rui's power, if we can't beat that Liu Rui by then, What else do you use to occupy Jingzhou, I am afraid that when that time comes, you will shoot yourself in the foot."

Xi Zhicai also echoed: "Wenhe's plan is vicious, but it is too dangerous. If it is a little wrong and lost Jingzhou, I am afraid that time will be a disaster."

"No! No!" Jia Xu shook his head again and sighed again, "Has your lord forgot your previous advice from Zhicai? You used to be the leader of the alliance, so you can naturally take this opportunity to ask Liu Bei, Lu Bu and Sun Ce for help. At that time, the allied forces of the princes will gather again to fight against Liu Rui in Jingzhou, and then they will be waiting for the opportunity to kill Liu Biao, seize Jingzhou, and finally push these things down on Liu Rui's body.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Xi Zhicai, only to find that Xi Zhicai was also in deep thought, obviously a little tempted by Jia Xu's plan.

"My lord, it's a chaotic world now. Only the territory we hold in our hands is the most reliable thing, and if we are not strong enough, we can gain more benefits in the future." Yes, he continued: "If the lord can occupy Jingzhou and plan to plan Yuzhou at that time, then you will have the capital to be on an equal footing with Liu Rui. Liu Bei and Lu Bu from Xuzhou, and Sun Ce from Jiangdong will all have the same capital. Relying on the master's breath."

Cao Cao nodded heavily, pondered for a while, and finally gritted his teeth: "Okay, just do as Wen He said!"
