460. Cao Cao recovered
Just when Liu Bei's side was lively because of the competition for the quota of the Five Tiger Generals, the Wei Wangfu in Xuchang City was also very lively today. Cao Cao has been injured since Qingzhou, and his injuries have been good and bad! Thanks to Cao Pi, who invited the famous doctors Zhang Ji and Zhang Zhongjing from Jingzhou, Cao Cao's injuries were completely controlled. After more than half a month, Cao Cao finally got better.
Xuchang City, which was originally surging during the period when Cao Cao was seriously injured, suddenly calmed down with Cao Cao's complete recovery. Cao Cao sat on the top of the lobby, and a group of civil and military officers sat on both sides when they all arrived.
Cao Cao looked around and said slowly: "I called everyone here today to discuss our next plan of action, you don't have to worry about anything, you can speak freely!" Lone believes that with the strength of all of us, we will definitely be able to formulate a plan to contain Liu Bei of Qi State. ”
After Cao Cao finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion below, but no one stepped forward to offer advice. Cao Cao was not in a hurry, he took a sip of the tea on the desk, closed his eyes slightly and waited for someone to speak. After a while, the discussion was quieter, and at this time one of the men stood up and saluted, "My lord, may you let me say a few words?" ”
Cao Cao opened his eyes suddenly, and it was Xu Yu who spoke. "Hahaha, Ziyuan has any clever plan, just say it!" Seeing that it was Xu You, Cao Cao said with a smile.
Xu You saluted again: "Lord, now that Liu Bei has a big matter, it is really a little powerless to rely on ourselves!" Therefore, our army needs to find someone to contain Liu Bei's army. ”
Cao Cao frowned after hearing this: "Ziyuan is talking about Eastern Wu?" There was a paper covenant between Gu and Na Sun Quan before, but this Eastern Wu was also defeated by Liu Bei, and it is said that the loss of troops will be very miserable. If they are sent to the army, I am afraid that the help will be limited! ”
After listening to Cao Cao's words, some people below couldn't stop nodding, and some people were waiting to see Xu You's joke. But Xu Yu suddenly said happily at this time: "The lord is right, then Dongwu has been frightened by Liu Beijun, and it is embarrassing!" But I'm not talking about Soochow, I'm talking about the alliance with Yanmen Lu Bu! This Lu Bu not only occupies Yanmen and Mayi, but also now establishes a number of pastures in the grassland, and is very powerful at herding horses and grasslands like the Huns. He had a wolf riding under his hand, and even the Huns did not dare to provoke him. ”
"Lu Bu? How good is this guy now? Cao Cao was taken aback and said.
"That's right! Most of the war horses of our army are now from Bingzhou, and at least half of them were sold to us by Lu Bu. Xun Yu will speak.
"Oh? In this way, Lone still has to rely on him now, can Lu Bu? It's all to blame for Han Sui's uselessness, and the loss of Liangzhou has left our army without a supply place for war horses. Cao Cao couldn't help but complain when he heard Xun Yu's words. After he finished speaking, he nodded at Xu You, and Xu You hurriedly continued: "The minister is willing to send an envoy to Lu Bu, and let him obediently form an alliance with the lord with his incorruptible tongue." ”
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you!" After Cao Cao finished speaking, he motioned for Xu You to sit down. With Xu Yu throwing bricks and jade, someone stood up immediately after he sat down. You and I have made a lot of suggestions, and there are many useful ones.
Cao Cao spent the morning listening to everyone's suggestions and strategies. He thought that this trip was worth it, so the happy Cao Cao immediately ordered a banquet, and he wanted to feast everyone present.
After a banquet, Xu You was ordered to persuade Lu Bu. Here, Cao Cao also began to gather troops, putting on a posture of wanting to start a war with Liu Bei.
Jia Xu got the reward, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent it to the palace of King Qi in person. Liu Bei saw that Jia Xu was coming in person, and he knew that he was going to have something to do, and then as soon as he saw the information brought by Jia Xu, Liu Bei immediately sent someone to invite Han Fei over.
About half an hour, Han Fei came to Liu Bei at a trot, Liu Bei beckoned him to sit down and talk, and handed the information in his hand to Han Fei. Han Fei took it and saw that it was actually Cao Cao who had recovered, this old boy's life was really big, so he didn't die.
After reading the information, Han Fei raised his head and said, "Lord Gong, Wen He, I don't think Cao Cao will directly send troops to attack us. He must have some kind of conspiracy going on! “
Liu Bei frowned when he heard this, he looked at Han Fei and Jia Xu and said, "This matter is handed over to the shadow, we must find out Cao Cao's true purpose." ”
"Don't worry, my lord, I'll leave this matter to me!" When Jia Xu heard Liu Bei speak, he immediately took the rest of his life. In this way, the two sides secretly began a new round of wrestling.
