Chapter 617: Cao Cao's Timing

In May 198, Liu Wei also returned to Jinyang, and this time Liu Wei officially put the decision to crusade against LΓΌ Bu on the agenda of discussion.

"Your Majesty, if you want to crusade against Lu Bu, this is strategically necessary, but you still have to hide and discuss."

Jia Xu looked at Liu Wei and opened his mouth to propose.

"Isn't this what I'm going to do with you?" Liu Wei said with a smile.

"This time, I have already seen the ability to trap the camp, and Lu Bu also has capable people under him, which is really difficult."

Liu Wei looked at Jia Xu and said, this is also the time when he feels difficult.

But if I don't take the initiative this time, I'm afraid that others will prefer to watch this state and situation continue to be maintained.

But they can't do it themselves, if they keep going, then the final result can only be to let them recuperate.

Now his strength is much stronger than Lu Bu, and he can also consume it, but after a few years, although his strength can continue to improve.

But other people's strength can also be improved, and it won't be one plus one equals two.

"If Your Majesty wants to conquer Lu Bu, you must first be famous, so as to block everyone's mouth."

Xu Shu looked at Liu Wei and stepped forward to speak, he was also supportive, Liu Wei attacked Lu Bu at this time.

Now that Sun Ce is dead, Sun Quan is in Jiangdong, and it will have some influence on Jiangdong's forces.

At that time, even if other princes want to intervene, I'm afraid Sun Quan will have to think about it.

"The division is famous, and it is necessary to fight against rebellion, and this battle can be defeated."

In the end, Zhuge Liang also looked at Liu Wei and said.

Of course, Liu Wei also knew what Zhuge Liang meant, and the first point was that it was no different from what Xu Shu said before.

That is, to be famous, although this thing is sometimes very frivolous, but it is essential.

If he didn't even have a reason that seemed to be able to be said, he would go straight to Lu Bu.

What will the other princes and the common people think at that time, there will be a warlike and rebellious military reputation.

And if he doesn't even have a name, then Cao Cao and they will have no scruples if they want to intervene at that time.

In the latter sentence, Zhuge Liang's meaning is also obvious, that is, to make good use of the advantages of his righteousness.

Pull up the banner and make yourself a righteous party in name.

"It's easy to do." Liu Wei nodded, there is nothing to look for, and it is not difficult to give Lu Buan a name.

Moreover, at the beginning, Lu Bu followed Dong Zhuo to make trouble in Luoyang, which was a disaster, which was already a crime that Lu Bu could not wash away no matter what.

"In this way, I first gathered all the generals to prepare for battle, and after the supplies were complete, I will tell the world of Lu Bu's crimes."

In this way, he can catch Lu Bu off guard, and the fighter plane is fleeting, even if he takes a little advantage, it will be a big change for the battle situation.

Lu Bu is brave, and Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others are on the side to assist, so it is naturally even more cautious to send troops this time.

Moreover, this time the troops were sent on their own initiative, so they had to win, and they also had to think about how to deal with the other princes.

While Liu Wei began to prepare for the mobilization of troops to crusade against Lu Bu, he asked Wang Yue's men to strengthen the surveillance of Da He He.

In this way, he was able to launch an attack on Lu Bu with the most calm attitude.

"My lord, according to our report, after Your Majesty returned to Jinyang, he began to secretly mobilize people and materials from all sides, and I am afraid that he will send troops."

Yanzhou, Puyang City, in Cao Cao's study, Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao and said.

"I have already expected this, Lu Bu is a tiger, Your Majesty is now gradually full-fledged, how can he tolerate it, a tiger is growing?"

Cao Cao didn't seem to be much surprised after listening to Cheng Yu's words, but just said lightly.

"What the lord said is very true, now that the Jiangdong Sun clan is now in its infancy, His Majesty's actions are naturally going to speed up." After listening to Cao Cao's words, Cheng Yu also nodded in agreement.

"My lord, what should we do? Zhongde immediately sent someone to Shouchun to remind Lu Bu? Cheng Yu looked tentatively at Cao Cao and suggested.

Cao Cao had said before that he wanted to use Lu Bu's sword, so he naturally needed to ask how to do it.

"Remind Lu Bu? Why? Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, looking like he bothered.

"The lord, the minister thinks, remind Lu Bu that there is no conflict with the lord's previous plan, so that not only can Lu Bu play his greatest role, but he will also be grateful to the lord at that time."

Cheng Yu thought about it and felt that he should still say what he thought.

"No need, if it is an ordinary person, so, I'm afraid it's still useful, but what kind of person is Lu Bu, I'm afraid he will think that we are pitying him."

"What do you think he would think if you reminded him and didn't help him in the end?"

"Gratitude?"

"Lord, far-sighted, Zhongde is not as good as Zhongde, but Zhongde ignores it." Cheng Yu also reacted after listening to Cao Cao's words.

For Cao Cao's ability, he also admired it even more.

No, Cheng Yu was also a little worried, "Gong Cao, Zhongde has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Tell me about it." Cao Cao did not refuse, and asked directly.

"The lord, the lord is talented, Zhongde understands, but the lord, now His Majesty is getting stronger and stronger, and the lord is sitting on the land of two states, once Your Majesty has become a big trend."

"The trend of the times, I'm afraid it can't be reversed by manpower, lord, don't you have any other plans to expand our strength?"

Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao, and this time he finally said what he wanted to say.

"Zhongde can rest assured, but I'm just waiting for an opportunity." Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu and replied with a smile.

Cheng Yu is old, but he still follows him loyally, so there are some things he can't say clearly.

But you can still give Cheng Yu a little bit.

"Could it be that the timing of the lord's departure has something to do with His Majesty's expedition?" Cheng Yu was stunned, and finally said with some puzzlement.

But this time, Cao Cao didn't answer Cheng Yu.

"Zhongde, last time I asked you to investigate Sima Yi's matter, what news do you have?"

Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu and asked, and the conversation changed in an instant.

Cheng Yu knew that Cao Cao didn't want to continue talking about the previous topic.

Although Cheng Yu didn't understand why, since Sima Yi came back from Jiangdong, he asked him to start investigating Sima Yi.

"Back to the lord, the minister has already asked people to do it, and at the same time used the power of spider silk, but what I found was some very ordinary things, and I didn't find anything different about Sima Yi."

Cheng Yu also truthfully told Cao Cao all the news he had investigated.

And this is also the reason why he is strange, Sima Yi is not abnormal, why does the lord investigate him.

You must know that Cheng Yu appreciates Sima Yi's talent very much.

"Just continue to check, the more detailed the better, as for whether there is any abnormality, we will know later." Cao Cao said.

Then Cao Cao signaled Cheng Yu to go down and retreated.

After Cheng Yu withdrew, Cao Cao got up and went to the third bookshelf on the left side of the study and took down a book.

Revealing a button like a plum blossom buckle, Cao Cao looked around again to the left and right, and then spun it.

Suddenly, the bookshelves on both sides changed, and began to move, revealing a secret passageway.

After Cao Cao entered this secret passage, everything here soon returned to its original state.

Even the plum blossom buckle that was originally exposed because of taking out a book was turned on the button, when the bookshelf was restored.

A book on it also happened to fall, obscuring the plum blossom buckle.

Of course, this is not accidental, but Cao Cao asked people to design it, in order not to let people find out.

Otherwise, if someone else enters the study, they will not be able to see this plum blossom buckle at a glance.

Cao Cao naturally wouldn't do such a thing of covering his ears and stealing the bell, although he said that no one would allow him to enter his study, but he didn't want an accident.

After Cao Cao entered the secret passage, he walked forward step by step along the road, only a faint light illuminated.

"Lord, why are you here, could it be that the time is almost up?"
