Chapter 367: On the cusp

Cao Cao took a piece of information from the spy, looking at this information, Cao Cao's eyes couldn't help narrowing, because it was clearly written that Xiahou Yuan, who was guarding Xuzhou in Xuzhou, was attacked by others and was now seriously injured.

Although Xiahou Yuan was not in danger of his life, this matter could be said to be quite serious, and it was definitely organized and premeditated.

If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely subconsciously think that the place where Xiahou Yuan was attacked was in Xuzhou, then it must have been done by the people inside the Wei State, and there were internal ghosts in the Wei State, but Cao Cao was not an ordinary person, he pondered for a moment, and then asked someone to find Guo Jia.

Cao Cao threw the letter to Guo Jia, and after reading it for a while, Guo Jia also touched his chin and smiled.

"The lord is worried about Xuzhou!"

"Hehe, Fengxiao, you are knowingly asking, that place in Xuzhou is used to defend Lu Bu, and the military value is immeasurable, if there is a problem in that piece of land in Xuzhou, the consequences will be unimaginable, but since Xiahou Yuan guarded Xuzhou, strange things have happened frequently, and I am a little worried!"

A hint of shrewdness flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, he looked at Cao Cao and said: "King, don't worry, my subordinates will go to Xuzhou for you, and I will check the situation for you clearly, and the truth will be revealed!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded, then looked at Guo Jia and said: "Fengxiao, I believe in your judgment ability, and I also believe in your thinking ability, I hope you won't run in vain this time!" ”

After saying this, Guo Jia also nodded, and then took the order to leave.

The assassination of Xiahou Yuan has already reached Cao Cao, and it is impossible for Xuzhou insiders not to know, and even some people are panicking, what are you kidding, Xuzhou is already the territory of Wei, but as the biggest general here, Xiahou Yuan was assassinated, which is a major matter.

Now the officials who are guarding Xuzhou are all in fear, for fear that the disaster of killing that day will also befall them.

But fortunately, after Xiahou Yuan was dragged back by the soldiers, although he was in a short coma, after all, Xiahou Yuan was also a martial arts general, with his extraordinary physique, he finally survived, after Xiahou Yuan woke up, the first feeling was anger and humiliation, he was a dignified general, and he would be plotted by the villain, and he was so embarrassed.

"Cao Xing! Don't think that your cat is in the corner of our Wei country, I can't find you, I tell you, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I must turn you out! ”

In fact, the real culprit of this matter, or the mastermind behind the scenes, who is it, it can be seen by everyone, once this kind of thing comes out, it can be said to shock the world, at least the Central Plains began to become unstable, after all, the most famous battle of the fire gun is that thousands of fire guns directly blew up Tongguan, this kind of power can not be underestimated, so the major princes also began to imitate each other, like what Zhao and Chu were not idle. Wei was no exception.

Wei has a forging master who is not weaker than Ma Jun, but until now, Wei has not been able to create a decent firearm, after all, having such a thing as firearms is equivalent to entering the era of hot weapons, this is a cross-era thing, if there is no professional personnel to teach, how can it be achieved overnight, so Wei is now in research, as for Zhao State, Chu State, Wu State and so on. It must have not been developed at all, and the only possible one is the Qin State, so the person who assassinated Xiahou Yuan was definitely the Qin State, that is to say, Cao Xing took people and quietly came in.

Xiahou Yuan remembered that Cao Cao had told him before leaving, he felt that Cao Xing had come to Xuzhou, but he searched for a long time, but he couldn't find Cao Xing's figure, Xiahou Yuan thought this was true, and when he was guarding Xuzhou, he began to send troops to continue to investigate, but he didn't find Cao Xing's gang, Cao Xing and they seemed to disappear out of thin air.

Now the attack on Xiahou Yuan and others can also show that Cao Xing's group does not seem to have run out of Xuzhou, since they did not run out of Xuzhou, it is easy to do, Xuzhou is the territory of Wei, how can he Cao Xuan be allowed to do anything here, Xiahou Yuan firmly believes that as long as Cao Xuan has stayed in Xuzhou, sooner or later he will have to arrest Cao Xuan even if he is a Jedi, after all, the threat of Cao Xuan is too great.

Although it is very clear that all of this is instructed by Cao Xuan there, there are still some people who can't bear the loneliness and directly admonishes Xiahou Yuan: "Although it has been found out that the real mastermind behind the scenes is Cao Xing, but then again, if there is no one to answer in the Wei State, how can he, Cao Xing, an outsider, move freely in the boundary of Xuzhou, and he has been looking for several months, but no one has found out, this is simply unreasonable!" ”

It's okay not to say this, as soon as I say this, everyone's nerves are tensed, in fact, everyone agreed before this that it was they who had an internal ghost inside the Wei State, and the people who were secretly helping the Qin State, and now it is really possible to say this, Cao Xing is the mastermind, but he has inserted eyeliner in the Wei State, and the person is in a high position, so Cao Xing can play so well in the Wei State.

Having said that, there is basically no need to say any more, and someone jumped out and pointed the finger at Liu Bei, after all, Xiahou Yuan's assassination was to meet Liu Bei and let Liu Bei explain the situation clearly, but he was assassinated halfway and couldn't go to the front line, so Liu Bei didn't need to explain clearly, as soon as he said this, Liu Bei was pushed to the forefront again.

Liu Bei, who was on the front line at the moment, heard all kinds of news from Xiaopei, and he really wanted to cry without tears in his heart.

Since Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu and took refuge in Wei, his mood is also very complicated, such as today's Han orthodoxy is gone, Liu Bei's hope of reviving the Han family has gradually declined, after all, Emperor Han Ling is dead, what should he do to revive it?

Therefore, Liu Bei, who stayed in the Wei State, can be said to be conscientious and loyal, he asked himself that he had never done anything against his will, nor had he done anything to betray the interests of the Wei State, why did these public opinions point to him?

However, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and at this moment, Lu Bu attacked in front of him, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu couldn't pull out, after all, Zhang Fei and the two of them worked together, so they could barely fight with Lu Bu for a few rounds, and the result of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu working together with Lu Bu was that Lu Bu singled out the two of them, and the final battle was a mutual victory.

Sometimes Lu Bu held on to the offensive of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and once a hundred rounds passed, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were slightly weakened, and their physical strength was obviously a little unable to keep up.

And Lu Bu somehow, like he had inexhaustible strength, he kept slashing Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and the two were forced to retreat, but there were also times when Zhang Fei and Guan Yu came and played at a super level. Especially Guan Yu, his first three knives were slashed down, each knife was wrapped in an overwhelming force, and every knife was played by him to the fullest, these knives looked like they were about to open Lu Bu's head, in the face of such Guan Yu, Lu Bu was also very embarrassed, and in the end, he could only. Embarrassed retreat.

But in any case, this also shows a problem, if you want to fight against Lu Bu, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are absolutely indispensable.

And Lu Bu seemed to be very well-informed, knowing when Liu Bei was ready to leave the city, so he directly sent his eight strong generals to come up and drag Zhang Fei Guan Yu, and he went specifically to engage Liu Bei.

So Liu Bei's heart was also very depressed, he really wanted to go to Xiaopei in person and explain the situation to Xiahou Yuan, but he couldn't pull away at all, even Xiahou Yuan's way to Xiaopei was blocked by Cao Xing, and in the end Liu Bei could only use the original strategy and continue to write to Xiahou Yuan, hoping that Xiahou Yuan could understand his Liu Bei's distress.

Although Xiahou Yuan is a military general, he does not have the reckless realm of a military general, but he is a general who can think.

Since Cao Xing appeared and injured him, Xiahou Yuan has been thinking that Cao Xing has been stranded in Xuzhou, and he must be trying to play some tricks, and now all the evidence points to Liu Bei. According to the thoughts of ordinary generals, there must be something wrong with this Liu Bei, so they killed Liu Bei, but if Liu Bei is killed, who will fight against Lu Bu? Once Lu Bu gains power, it is very likely that he will take back the entire Xuzhou, and then he Xiahou Yuan and his Wei State will suffer, and Cao Xing will laugh.

As soon as he thought of this, Xiahou Yuan was depressed in his heart, he only had one thought, he must not let Cao Xuan succeed in such a grand manner, so he repeatedly explained to his subordinates that this was a discord plan, Cao Xing's discord strategy, let him and Liu Bei be separated, and now Liu Bei is fighting with Lu Bu in front of him, and the results sent every day are enough to see how desperate Liu Bei is.

No matter how confused he Xiahou Yuan is, he will definitely not be able to move Liu Bei. Even in the back, Xiahou Yuan was annoyed by these people, he directly told these people who wanted to slander Liu Bei, if they really had the ability, he Xiahou Yuan could consider transferring them to the front line, swapping them with Liu Bei, and letting them fight against Lu Bu, hearing this, everyone was immediately stunned, what are you kidding, Lu Bu is the number one military general in the world, who can stop his prestige, Liu Bei can only barely resist one or two, these strategists who eat by mouth, and they dare not provoke Lu Bu.

On this day, Xiahou Yuan received Liu Bei's letter again, and seeing Liu Bei write again, Xiahou Yuan smiled helplessly. During this time, Liu Bei also felt that a conspiracy against him was spreading, so he kept writing letters, completely at a speed of one day to prove his innocence to Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Yuan also wrote back to Liu Bei, saying that Liu Bei could fight at ease on the front line, and he Xiahou Yuan was by no means a fool.

It's just that maybe it's because of fear, or maybe it's because Liu Bei wants to prove his innocence too much, so the letters are one after another Xiahou, the original nature, opened this letter, I thought that Liu Bei was going to defend himself in it, this is sincerity, heaven and earth can learn something.

But Xiahou Yuan took a closer look and found that what Liu Bei wrote this time was different, and what Liu Bei described above was the battle situation ahead.

"Lu Bu's army has been fully equipped with the kind of strong bow and crossbow that can shoot three hundred paces away, as well as sharp spears, and sturdy war horses, our army already has some that can't be stopped, and please send troops to the rescue!"

Looking at what Liu Bei wrote in it, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help frowning, this is a letter for help.

Generally speaking, there is only one meaning, he Liu Bei does not have enough soldiers on the front line, and he also asked Xiahou Yuan to allocate soldiers and horses to him, so that he can continue to fight against Lu Bu.

Seeing this letter, Xiahou Yuan's expression was more or less hesitant, the power of the army is very important, Cao Cao withdrew from Xuzhou, leaving not much of the living force in Xuzhou, and he Xiahou Yuan had to distribute it reasonably, so Xiahou Yuan held a military meeting in desperation to discuss whether Liu Bei should be given military power.

Originally, the major military generals at the meeting had a good discussion, but when they said it, they felt a little off-topic, and some people immediately jumped out and said.

"Liu Bei has a problem, he has a bad heart, our soldiers and horses in Xuzhou are already nervous enough, he even opened his mouth to the general, you lion, it is clear that he has the heart of zàofǎn, the general must not give him the right to fight, and should send someone to escort him back and interrogate him well!"

Looking at the faces of these people, it's okay if they don't say this, but as soon as they say this, Xiahou Yuan suddenly became angry, he has heard this kind of thing many times these days, and the whole heart has begun to burst into flames, and finally shouted loudly, he Xiahou Yuan believes in Liu Bei, this is a discordant strategy used by Cao Xing, and he will definitely not be easily fooled.

In this way, Xiahou Yuan finally sent another 5,000 soldiers and horses to support the front line, and Liu Bei suddenly felt relieved with the support of 5,000 soldiers and horses, so that he had the capital to continue to fight with Lu Bu. Even in Liu Bei's heart, there is an unrealistic idea, he used to be like a lost dog, he was driven out by Lu Bu since he was a child, and now he has the capital to bring people back to kill him again? Because while its troops are being depleted, Lu Bu will not be much better.

As long as he Liu Bei's tactics are used properly, I believe that he should be able to defeat Lu Bu, but it was also during this time period that the arrival of a person seemed to disrupt Liu Bei's deployment a little, and that person was Guo Jia who rushed over from Xuchang.

Guo Jia's trip was also to find out whether he Liu Bei had the heart of zàofǎn, of course, Guo Jia was a smart person, he would not go directly to Liu Bei to confront him face to face.

Guo Jia found Xiahou Yuan as soon as he came, and Xiahou Yuan also warmly received Guo Jia, Guo Jia is now not only very famous, but more importantly, his ghost pawn seems to have become a sharp weapon of Wei, not only externally, but also internally, Cao Cao gave him the power to supervise hundreds of officials.

Therefore, the young Guo Jia became a hot real power figure in Wei for a while. Xiahou Yuan had to give him three points.

And Guo Jia also looked at Xiahou Yuan with a smile and said: "Xiahou is too guarded, we don't have to be polite, I have only one purpose for this trip, I believe you know it too!" ”
