"No, what about Kong Ling in Yuzhou? That old thing is a lord who loves to take advantage, and he is not interested in Yanzhou? ”

Suddenly, Yuan Shu remembered Kong Ling, an old fox, and asked curiously.

Seeing Yuan Shu's puzzled look, Guo Jia sighed lightly: "Kong Ling is seriously ill, and I am afraid that he will die soon." ”

"Then who is the next Yuzhou assassin?"

Thinking that this old man seemed to have died shortly after the princes begged for Dong, Yuan Shu was relieved and continued to ask.

"Liu Xuande."

Guo Jia said a little weirdly.

"What?"

Yuan Shu was now confused. Why did Liu Daer run away to Yuzhou all of a sudden, and became the assassin of Yuzhou? This butterfly just flapped its wings, why did Liu Bei take off so quickly?

Guo Jia was a little curious about Yuan Shu's surprise, but still continued: "Yuan Shao appointed Liu Bei as the new Yuzhou Assassin, and Dong Zhuo's side also agreed. ”

Yuan Shu was surprised by the name Liu Bei at first, and after coming back to his senses and thinking about it a little, he understood why this situation occurred.

"It seems that Yuan Benchu is still on guard against Cao Mengde!" Yuan Shu had to sigh that his brother was really scheming and long-term.

Yuan Shao recommended Liu Bei as the assassin of Yuzhou, and the target was nothing more than Yuan Shu and Cao Cao. However, Yuan Shu estimated that Yuan Shao was probably wary of both of them.

Needless to say, Liu Bei's ability is based on the force value of his two brothers in the tiger prison to know that this product has at least two brushes. With him nailed to Yuzhou, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao have to be jealous.

Yuzhou has always been the base camp of the Yuan family in the past, and the local officials all looked to the Yuan family, and now the backbone of the Yuan family is basically under the control of Yuan Shao, and it is not easy to bring down Kong Ling and support Liu Bei to take the position?

"Although Yuan Shao's move is somewhat aimed at us, it has little impact on us. After all, we didn't plan to take Yuzhou, and Yizhou is the direction of our next attack. Tian Feng analyzed very rationally.

Guo Jia nodded: "That's right, Yuan Shao's doing this is beneficial and harmless to us in general." With Liu Bei's containment, Cao Cao may be difficult to deploy. We just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and the unification of the Central Plains will be more beneficial than disadvantageous for us. ”

Yuan Shu smiled slightly: "We don't care, but Cao Mengde is probably going to scold people now!" ”

Indeed, Cao Cao's face turned black as soon as he got the news, and he scolded Yuan Shao fiercely in front of Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai and others in a hurry.

The other party didn't care about the petty feelings at all, and put a tight spell on himself when he came up, Cao Cao hated this in his heart! He was already miserable, and Yuan Shao was still bullying himself like this.

In this way, Cao Cao is not as good as Liu Bei. Can Yanzhou and Yuzhou be compared? Half of Yuzhou's split can be stronger than Yanzhou.

Cao Cao also wanted to make a fortune in Yuzhou at the beginning, but without Yuan Shao's support, he was really untenable in Yuzhou. Yuan Shao was jealous of Cao Cao, so it was naturally impossible to hand over Yuzhou to him, so he only reluctantly agreed to Yanzhou.

As a result, Cao Cao didn't expect that he had worked hard to get Yuan Shao to agree to make a fortune in Yanzhou, and before he could be happy, he learned that the other party had given Yuzhou to Liu Bei at random for such a strange clay leg. How can you make Cao Cao feel angry?

Are you your hair or your enemy? How do you feel that Liu Bei is closer to you!

No matter how angry Cao Cao was, the matter was a foregone conclusion. Yuan Shu found this quite interesting.

Guo Jia said: "Yuan Shao must have seen that Liu Bei was born at the grassroots level, and just wanted him to be a puppet to guard Yuzhou and threaten us and Cao Cao." ”

Yuan Shu nodded, and then said with a smile: "But I'm afraid that Liu Bei will be beyond his imagination!" It is not known whether it may be able to soar to the sky with the help of Yuzhou. ”

Guo Jia nodded, his opinion was similar to Yuan Shu's.

Liu Bei is a very scheming person, and he has a bit of an ancestral style. Treat the people with benevolence and sincerity, and be able to put down the shelves. Whether it is true benevolence or false benevolence, if you can pretend to be like this, false benevolence and righteousness can be regarded as true benevolence.

The two brothers of 10,000 enemies under his command, and then have the name of Yuzhou Assassin History, if he can control Yuzhou, it will be another Cao Cao.

After all, there are not many others in Yuzhou, but there are many strategists. Just enough to make up for Liu Bei's weakness, so that he will have no shortcomings and defects. Maybe it can really achieve a hegemony.

Tian Feng said curiously: "I understand Yuan Shao's thoughts, but why would Dong Zhuo agree to this matter?" ”

Yuan Shu and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled: "Presumably someone in Chang'an is very optimistic about my Yuan Shu!" ”

This matter can go so smoothly, if it weren't for Li Ru's hands and feet, Yuan Shu would definitely not believe it. It seems that this big talent can be regarded as taking the bait, Yuan Shu thought beautifully in his heart.

Yuan Shu said: "Then in this way, our strategic policy towards Yuzhou will have to be changed." ”

Guo Jia nodded: "What the lord said is right, I'm afraid we will have to fight Liu Bei head-on a few times to limit the strength of the other party, otherwise it will be difficult for Cao Mengde to grow up." ”

Tian Feng added: "Now we have to contact Cao Mengde and form an alliance with him. ”

Yuan Shu nodded, and said with some self-deprecation: "I didn't expect that I, Yuan Highway, would join forces with Cao Mengde one day again." ”

Guo Jia smiled: "It's just that the interests are the same, it's just a long-distance friendship and a close attack, what do you care about, lord?" ”

Yuan Shu shook his head: "It's okay, it's just a little depressed." ”

Yuan Shao's hand immediately complicated the situation in the Central Plains. Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Tao Qian each occupy a state.

On the surface, Tao Qian, who occupied Xuzhou, was the strongest, Liu Bei in Yuzhou was second, and Cao Cao in Yanzhou was the weakest. But in fact, the combat power of the three parties is exactly the opposite.

Tao Qian is just a short-sighted incompetent and corrupt Confucian, although the soldiers under his command are fine, but the generals are too rubbish, and they are not enough to compete with Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Although Cao Cao has a small territory and little money and food, he can't stand the vast number of soldiers, plus there are many good strategies, and his strength ranks first.

And although Liu Bei now occupies Yuzhou, he is just a puppet, and when he really controls Yuzhou, he should be the strongest existence among the three.

However, now several princes in the Central Plains are still weak chickens, and Cao Cao can still fight, and on the surface, Yuan Shu can easily take the Central Plains. It's just a pity that it's impossible to drop.

I'm afraid that the snake swallowing the elephant will be strangled to death. Yuan Shu had just taken Jingzhou, if he wanted to stretch out his hand to the Central Plains now, Cao Cao and the others would definitely fight with Yuan Shu. Yuan Shao will definitely not sit idly by, and it is even possible to pull Liu Yan up to deal with Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu now thinks at most about Yizhou, which has no allies and is weak, and wants to take the Central Plains, and in another seven or eight years, he will completely digest the southern states, I am afraid it will be possible.

Of course, like Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao did not dare to get involved in the problems of the Central Plains, and letting Liu Bei out to bite people was already the best choice Yuan Shao could do.

Similar to Yuan Shao's thoughts, the reason why Yuan Shu chose to support Cao Cao was just to let the Central Plains continue to be divided and not unified. After all, on the whole, Liu Bei is at an advantage!

Moreover, Liu Bei of Yuzhou, which borders Yangzhou and Jingzhou, can be used for training and plundering by himself. But Cao Cao in Yanzhou, Yuan Shu can't reach it, so he naturally hopes that he will be stronger and able to suppress Yuan Shao.
