"Bump!" The table in front of him was directly overturned by Cao Cao, and the letters on it were scattered all over the ground.

"Faithless villain! Lu Bu and Wei Xu, two untrustworthy villains! In the first place, I shouldn't have believed them and declared war directly! Dare to be treacherous, deceive and kill someone! Cao Cao roared angrily.

Cao Cao hated this in his heart! How much did it cost to appease Lu Bu, the tiger, but now it's good, the bamboo basket is empty and there are so many benefits in vain!

Cao Cao bribed Wei Xu at that time and said that as long as Lu Bu promised not to invade, he would give him a thousand gold, and if he didn't have to cede a county, he would give him another thousand gold. As a result, now that Qianjin and the land of a county have just been handed over, Wei Xu and Lu Bu have repented at the same time.

Xun's face was also a little ugly: "Lord, Jiangdong sent an envoy to persuade Lu Bu, and it is said that the property he carried is dozens of times that of us." Wei Xu and Lu Bu must have decisively defected because of this. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his face turned dark: "Dozens of times!" Yuan Highway has a lot of money and has nowhere to spend it, right? So much money is enough to arm an army of tens of thousands, is he crazy? ”

Xun sighed lightly: "My lord, I'm afraid that Jiangdong's wealth is far beyond our imagination." With so much money, Yuan Shao has to break his muscles and bones if he wants to take it out. And Yuan Highway can be easily taken out, and our vigilance against him should be raised by another level. ”

However, Yuan's move is understandable. After all, there are more than 100,000 Yuan troops surrounded by us, and this is basically all the remaining foot soldiers of Yuan Highway in Jiangdong. It is impossible for Yuan Highway to sit back and watch such a combat power being wiped out, and it is normal for him to be so crazy. ”

What's more, Lu Bu was originally a pawn supported by Yuan Highway in order to prevent the lord from sitting on the throne and stabilize the situation in the Central Plains. Now that our side and Liu Bei are powerful, it is not surprising that Yuan Shu provided such assistance to Lu Bu. ”

As Xun thought, if it was just to persuade Lu Bu to send troops, Yuan Shu would not have to provide so much money. Yuan Shu did this in order to make Lu Bu strong and form a strong momentum with Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

After this calculation, Yuan Shu saw it. We must be absolutely cautious about the two heroes of Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and we can't slack off in the slightest, if we don't make trouble for them, they have to find trouble for themselves. So Lu Bu, who was a little stupid, became Yuan Shu's best choice.

Compared with the scheming Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the brave and unscrupulous Lu Bu is much easier to deal with. Moreover, the two sides are far apart, and there is no conflict of interest, so Yuan Shu simply vigorously supported this goods.

"Yuan Highway is really big-hearted, aren't you afraid of raising tigers for trouble?" Cao Cao hated it. Yuan Shu made this move, and his life in the future would not be easy.

"Wen Ruo, do you think we should withdraw our troops and return to defense?" Cao Cao is now very worried that he and Yuan Shu will fight to the death, but in the end, he was picked up by Lu Bu and reaped the profits, so isn't he crying blind?

"No! Lord, since we have already sent troops, wouldn't it be right for Yuan Shu to come back in such a gloomy way? Xun directly stopped: "If our army retreats, it is tantamount to betraying Liu Beijun, and it will be even more impossible to think about the alliance in the future." For the sake of the overall situation, the lord must not withdraw his troops. ”

This Cao-Liu alliance was completely facilitated by Xun and Xun Yue, and it was already very fragile. If Cao Cao had just started the alliance, it would be even more impossible for Cao Cao to do this kind of thing, and it would be even more impossible to unite against Yuan Shu in the future.

"But Xuzhou only has an army of 30,000, how can it stop Lu Bu's tiger!" Cao Cao said uneasily.

Although Lu Bu is not a hero, his reputation as the world's number one military general is recognized! When it comes to leading troops to fight, Cao Cao, who is a fierce general under his command with the same force, does not dare to say that he can defeat him. What's more, now Cao Cao is strong and middle-class, and his troops are insufficient.

Xuzhou has only 30,000 troops, and it has just experienced a major war, and the people are uncertain. Cao Ren is no matter how powerful he is, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on. Cao Cao can't go to support here, and Xuzhou can still accept it if he loses it, but the old nest Yanzhou will be over if he loses Cao Cao.

Xun thought about it a little in his heart and said: "With General Cao Ren's ability, it will definitely not be a problem to support more than half a month." Before that, as long as the two Yuan armies on the Nanyang battlefield were eliminated, the lord would be able to free up his hands to support Xuzhou. ”

"Isn't that too risky?" Cao Cao frowned: "If you send Xiahou Yuan's army back to garrison it now, anyway, Jiujiang is just an enclave, and it is useless to gain it, Xuzhou is even more important!" ”

"No!" Xun didn't want to veto Cao Cao's idea.

"The occupation of Jiujiang is not for this territory, but to cut off the back road of Yuan's army in Yuzhou. If Xiahou Yuan's army was to evacuate, Yuan's army in Yuzhou would be completely liberated. You can make a detour to support Nanyang, and you can withdraw to Jiangdong if you retreat. In this way, it is absolutely not advisable for us to wait for all the calculations to be put to waste. ”

"Lord, I have to hold back. You have to believe in Xiahou and General Cao Chun. As long as the Yuan army on the Nanyang battlefield is dealt with in a short period of time, we will be able to draw our hands to deal with everything. And Liu Bei is also patient like us, if Yuzhou is taken by the First World War at this time, we will be gone. ”

Xun's attitude was very resolute. At the beginning, he made this plan with Xun Yue, and Xun was very determined. Liu Bei is gambling with all his net worth, and Cao Cao is not like this? If one trick is not careful, Cao Cao may return to the situation when he first came to Yanzhou.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei are now grasshoppers on a rope, one with glory and one with loss. Xun also thought of the current bad situation at the beginning, but in the face of a terrifying enemy like Yuan Shu, Xun could only choose to go out and fight.

Cao Cao turned around and looked at the map on the wall, the staggered distribution of forces proved the precipitousness of the current situation.

Keep an eye on Nanyang and Xuzhou. After a long time, Cao ** looked at his eyes and said in a resolute tone: "Just do what you say!" Now that I have made a bet, I will lose completely and willingly! ”

Looking at Cao Cao's slightly tired back, Xun's heart warmed, and he smiled and said firmly: "Don't worry, the lord is eighty percent sure that he can win!" This time, Yuan Shu will definitely hate Yuzhou! ”

"I believe in you, Wen Ruo!"

Xun's departing figure trembled slightly: "Thank you, lord!" ”

Looking at Xun's departing back, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth rose slightly, and he muttered: "Wen Ruo, look at it!" I, Cao Mengde, will become the Duke of Zhou of the Han Dynasty as you wish! ”

With Cao Cao's thoughtfulness, how can he not see Xun's thoughts? When Liu Xie was stabbed, Xun's whole person looked like a walking corpse, which was simply chilling.

Since then, Cao Cao knew that Xun's true loyalty was not to him, but to the Great Han. And although Cao Cao was also sincere to the Han at that time, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed about it.

At this time, he didn't want to replace the Han family, but the general trend was like this, and he didn't want to be foolish and loyal to the empty name of the Han family.

Although Liu Xie was just an incompetent imp before, he was orthodox after all. And now the Son of Heaven in Chang'an is just a puppet randomly selected by Liu Yu and others in order to beware of Liu Yan and other ambitious people. How do you make a hero like Cao Cao loyal to him?

So after Liu Xie's death, Cao Cao couldn't help but think about it a little. However, at this time, Cao Cao's mind changed a little. After all, Cao Cao is still a person loyal to the Han family!
