Chapter 164: Killing with a Knife
Liu Bei didn't just flee with the soldiers given by Xun Yu, because he also took an important oracle with him when he fled.
This oracle was of great importance to him as to whether he would be able to build a powerful empire in the future.
Because the content of this holy edict was written by Liu Xie, the emperor who is now in Xudu, and it recognized his identity as Liu Bei.
What identity?
Naturally, he Liu Bei is the identity after the Liu clan, and with the identity of the Liu clan, he can be regarded as having a very formal identity.
The key is that this identity may still be very tall, so that he has to run away earlier, otherwise, if Cao Cao comes back, he will not be able to escape.
After King Jing of Zhongshan, he finally became the uncle of Emperor Liu Xie, is this status high?
It is definitely very high, so high that Liu Bei doesn't dare to announce it now.
Cao Cao didn't know about this yet, because after avoiding a mistake and someone else's secret calculation, he was very timid and worried that he would fall for it again.
So in order not to fall into the enemy's scheme again, Cao Cao was extra careful.
Be careful to investigate everyone around him, of course, this investigation is not to investigate those more important people, because he believes that these people will never betray themselves.
But the newcomers are different, and there must be fishing in troubled waters among them.
In order to express his loyalty, Zhang Xiu directly connected the three cities and hit outside Xuzhou City, but was blocked by the powerful Lu Bu.
The title of the world's number one military general is not a joke, nor is it used to praise, but he is really powerful.
In a contest with Zhang Xiu, but after more than 100 moves, Zhang Xiu failed and was injured.
The Hundred Bird Spear just made Lu Bu a little unable to parry, and Lu Bu was slightly injured, but it had not yet reached the strength to make Lu Bu retreat directly, which was enough to show Lu Bu's strength.
In the face of the powerful Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu did not make a rash move again, but waited for Cao Cao to come.
It's just that Cao Cao didn't have time to arrive in Xuzhou when he received news from the north that Yuan Shao was likely to go south, and the situation was very urgent.
"Yuan Shao'er, do you really want to start a war with Cao at this time?" Cao Cao scolded angrily directly.
finally had the capital and strength to go south, but before the fight started, it was mixed up by Yuan Shao, and he was really unwilling.
You must know that this march and war is not child's play, and it will cost a whole army to send out a whole army.
But this time on the expedition, he didn't even let out a fart, but he heard the news that Yuan Shao was about to go south, can Cao Cao not curse?
This Yuan Shao typically wanted to see that Cao Cao could not subdue Xuzhou very smoothly and enhance his own strength.
There is no doubt about it, Yuan Shao wants to rule the entire north and unify the world, so he naturally does not want to see Cao Cao become strong.
Hearing that Cao Cao was going to attack Xuzhou, he immediately panicked, and was originally going to carry out a plan to let Cao Cao be buried directly in Wancheng, but the one in Xu Du was not very powerful, and the plan he came up with was too simple.
also wasted several of his chess pieces, and he naturally wouldn't do such a thing again, so he directly used the army to deter Cao Cao, in order to achieve Cao Cao's plan to stop attacking Xuzhou.
"My lord, Yuan Shao's people are just a stepping stone for the lord to unify the north and unify the world.
The lord will be able to defeat Yuan Shao sooner or later, and now that Yuan Shao's military horse has appeared in the north, he should just want to watch a good show and take the opportunity to go south, but don't forget that the lord has pacified Guanzhong at the beginning.
And Li Wei and others in Guanzhong are not friendly to Xiliang Ma Teng and others, if at this time, we ask Your Majesty to recruit An Ma Teng and others, let Xiliang's army and horses to contain Yuan Shao in the north, and then we will attack Xuzhou quickly.
can kill three birds with one stone, not only to save Yanzhou, but also to lay down Xuzhou,?? It can also make Ma Teng and Yuan Shao in Liangzhou fight against each other, weakening the strength of the two of them. ”
Chu Feng saw Cao Cao angrily and scolded directly, and after waiting for a while, he stood up and said what he thought.
After Cao Cao listened to Chu Feng's thoughts, his eyes lit up, and he felt that this plan was very feasible, borrowing a knife to kill people, as if someone had used it just now, and the target was still him.
Guo Jia also added: "It is also a good idea to recruit An Ma Teng at this time, but it is not so easy to make Ma Teng and Han Sui willing to send troops to fight Yuan Shao."
On this edict, some more content should be added, for example, let Ma Teng's son and Han Sui's son come to Xudu to accept official positions.
In addition, the reward of the lord must not be too small, and it must be able to touch their hearts in order to make them willing.
In this way, they will definitely help us defend against Yuan Shao wholeheartedly. ”
Cao Cao touched his beard and nodded: "Yes, yes, it should be done, it should be done!" ”
In less than a while, Cao Cao wrote a letter and asked the messengers to send it directly to Xudu.
It's time for this emperor to play his role, and he can't always use the palace in Xudu as an ornament.
It was useless to try to save it.
It's better not to save it!
This salvation is to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
Xuzhou is definitely going to fight, the formation is so big, if you are directly frightened by a Yuan Shao, wouldn't it be very useless.
Chu Feng was once again praised by Cao Cao, and he would also ask Chu Feng and Guo Jia about big and small things.
Sometimes, Cao Cao also found that Chu Feng and Guo Jia were really similar, and they were also the people who could become friends the most.
At this time, he thought of his deceased friend Xi Zhicai.
"Alas, it would be nice if you were here, and you don't have to do that, but it's also very good.
Zhicai, look at it, Cao will definitely be able to build a great cause, so that the people of Dawn can live a good life when the time comes.
you won't forget the original vow, it used to be done by the two of us, and now one person to inherit the wishes of the two of us!
I hope that you can also bless Cao in heaven, so that Cao can build a great cause, so that the people can live a good life. Cao Cao thought to himself.
Guo Jia and Chu Feng left the main camp, and when they got outside, Guo Jia began to hook his shoulders and put Chu Feng on his back and said: "It seems that the two of us really have a heart, originally, recruit Anxi Liang Ma Teng and Han Sui, let them resist Yuan Shao, we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and we can also attack Xuzhou."
Absolutely good plan, it's just that you kid took the lead. ”
Chu Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knew that you also came up with it, if you knew, I wouldn't say it, or else, next time you come?" ”
Guo Jia said disdainfully: "Where is there a priority for this, whoever comes up with it, who will say it." ”
