"Zhongde, talk quickly!"

Seeing that Cheng Yu had a way, Cao Cao couldn't wait to ask for a plan.

"Although the Son of Heaven is strong and can even defeat Gao Shun's army of 20,000, he only has more than 30,000 people after all."

"Lu Bu is brave and unparalleled, and there are still fifty or sixty thousand people under his command, and I received news that Lu Bu has asked for help from Taishan thieves in order to solve the urgent need of Xuzhou."

"In three days at most, tens of thousands of Taishan thieves led by Zang Ba will lead the army to come."

"Our army might as well lose a few battles to Lu Bu first, and then let the Son of Heaven and Lu Bu fight."

"In this way, the power of the Son of Heaven can be eliminated, and Xuzhou can also be included in our hands."

Cheng Yu said lightly.

"Master Cheng is a good plan, but I have a question."

The name of the person who spoke was Manzhong, and he was a young general, but strategy was also his strength.

In addition to the young generals of the Cao family, full favor is also the object of Cao Cao's key training.

When he was in his twenties, Cao Cao asked him to serve as the magistrate of Xudu County and take charge of the judiciary.

Xudu is now the temporary capital of the Han Dynasty, and the status of Xudu County Commander is naturally extraordinary.

"General Man, please speak."

Cheng Yu is neither conceited nor proud of his old age, but asks questions humbly.

"As we all know, the monarchy is bestowed, the Son of Heaven is born sacred, Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, and he has the merit of rejuvenating the Han Dynasty."

"What if, he doesn't go to war with the Son of Heaven?"

"In case, he will give up Xuzhou and become a minister, what should I do at that time?"

After Man Zhong finished speaking, the audience fell silent, and only Cao Cao cast an approving glance at Man Chong.

"General Man, what is your good plan?"

Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and other generals hurriedly asked for a plan.

"My lord."

Man Chong stepped forward and said: "Now Lu Bu only knows that Gao Shun was defeated, but he doesn't know that it was the defeat of the Son of Heaven, and it is said that Lu Bu's daughter was also captured by the Son of Heaven." ”

"We might as well spread rumors that Gao Shun has been beheaded and Lu Lingqi has also been defiled."

"Lu Bu was annoyed and angry, he would definitely go to war, and when he knew that the person who fought with him was the Son of Heaven, it was too late."

"Lu Bu is a profit-seeker, and he has no loyalty at all, and I expect Lu Bu to be able to defeat the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven cannot defeat Lu Bu."

Man Pet said with a smile.

"Good strategy!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed and praised: "It is worthy of Man Boning, this plan is really impeccable." ”

As long as Lu Bu sent troops to the Son of Heaven, he would naturally become a traitor.

Doing it to the Son of Heaven is a great sin of the Nine Clans, even if the Son of Heaven wants to pardon him, does Lu Bu dare to believe it?

Don't you know that you can settle accounts after the autumn?

Therefore, as long as the two start a war, the contradiction will not be reconciled at all, and one person must fall!

In the next two days, in Cao Cao's army, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Yu Ban and other generals successively led troops to attack Lu Bu's camp, and they all lost in a good way.

Even the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Chun and Cao Zhen was chased and killed by Zhang Liao's Bingzhou cavalry for a while in the process of defeat.

As a result, the morale of Cao Cao's army plummeted, and he could only hold on.

"It's so strange, even if Cao Cao can't defeat Lu Bu, he can still be equal to each other."

"In the past two days, I lost too quickly."

Zhu Jun was thoughtful in the camp, he was ordered by His Majesty to assist Cao Cao in the battle, and he was very familiar with Cao Cao's ability and the strength of Lu Bu's army.

Cao Cao's defeat in the past two days is really weird.

"Could it be that Cao Cao did it on purpose?"

Chang Yuchun frowned, and said: "Your Majesty wants to bring troops over to meet Cao Cao, and Cao Cao is going to throw all the pressure of attacking Lu Bu to Your Majesty." ”

"What General Chang said is very true."

Zhu Jun bowed his head, during this time he cooperated with Chang Yuchun and admired his military ability very much.

It's just that there are more than 30,000 people on His Majesty's side, and Lu Bu and Taishan thief Zang Ba and others assist, even if they win, then the loss is definitely not small.

Liu Xie arrived at the front line with his soldiers and horses, and Zhu Jun informed Liu Xie of this matter as soon as possible.

"This Cao Cao is really treacherous, he actually gave me this one."

Liu Xie frowned and said.

"Cao Cao's subordinates are really capable, a little full of favors, and they even returned

There is such a ability. ”

Jia Xu was also surprised, but to conquer Xuzhou, Lü Bu had to win.

But even if Lu Bu is defeated, His Majesty's side will lose a lot, so why should he control Xuzhou at that time?

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, a herald hurriedly rushed into the camp tent and said: "The big thing is not good, Lu Bu personally raised 100,000 soldiers and horses, with Zhang Liao and Zang Ba as the vanguard, and killed us. ”

"How so?"

Zhu Jun, Xu Huang and others were shocked.

"I don't know where the rumors came from, saying that Your Majesty ......"

Speaking of this, the messenger did not dare to continue speaking.

"Go on."

Liu Xie frowned.

"It is said that Your Majesty killed Gao Shun and defiled Lu Lingqi."

"Lu Bu thought that we were Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, so he killed us directly to take revenge."

The herald said.

"How can there be such rumors?"

The crowd was shocked.

"Needless to say, Cao Cao did it."

Liu Xie frowned and said, although it was unexpected, it was still reasonable.

In this battle, Liu Xie wanted to consume Cao Cao's troops, but why didn't Cao Cao think so?

Now Cao Cao has broken off diplomatic relations with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, if he can't suppress the Son of Heaven, then his situation will be very dangerous.

"Your Majesty, why don't we send an envoy to directly indicate Your Majesty's identity and directly persuade him to surrender."

Zhu Jun proposed.

"It's useless, Lu Bu's wolf ambition, if we can easily persuade us to surrender, we don't need to send troops."

Jia Xu shook his head, this was the conclusion that he and Liu Xie had reached before, if they wanted to defeat Lu Bu, they had to defeat him first.

It's just that now that Lu Bu has the help of the Taishan thief, how can it be so easy to deal with?

"No ......"

Speaking of this, Jia Xu shook his head and said, "There is one person who may be persuaded to surrender." ”

"Wen He is talking about Zhang Liao?"

Liu Xie asked.

"Exactly."

Jia Xu continued: "Although Zhang Liao is Lu Bu's number one general, he doesn't like Lu Bu's personality very much, and following Lu Bu is nothing more than being infected by his bravery. ”

"However, Lu Bu values profit over righteousness, while Zhang Liao values righteousness over profit, as long as our army sends a highly respected general to say that Zhang Liao, although it cannot make him surrender, there is a high probability that he can give up the attack."

"As long as Zhang Liao gives up the attack, relying only on Zang Ba, he is not our opponent at all, Lu Bu's vanguard army, our army will be broken."

Jia Xu analyzed according to his perception of Zhang Liao.

"Will this work?"

The generals thought it was too evil.

"Wen He is right."

Liu Xie stood up and said, Jia Xu's analytical ability and grasp of people are too strong.

He agrees because it has happened in history.

When Cao Cao and Liu Bei captured Xuzhou, Guan Yu used "righteousness" to make Zhang Liao ashamed, and then led his troops to retreat.

"As long as Lu Bu's vanguard army is broken, then our army can directly take Lu Bu."

"As long as Lu Bu does not send troops to the Son of Heaven on the bright side, then he still has a chance to return the wheel."

"At that time, Lu Bu can descend."

After Liu Xie finished speaking, Jia Xu and everyone nodded.

Cao Cao used a trick to lure Lu Bu to attack the Son of Heaven without knowing it, what he wanted was that Lu Bu was cornered, and then fought to the death with the Son of Heaven.

But if the skin is not torn, everything still has room to turn.

"Speaking of retreating Zhang Liao, I should not go out, this matter will trouble Da Sima."

After that, Liu Xie looked at Zhu Jun.
