Chapter 610: Cao Cao's Choice
"I don't know what Cao Yuanjun thinks?" Zhuge Liang saw Cao Cao frowning and pondering for a long time, and couldn't help but ask.
"He, Liu Bei, is just a new wild guard! Why do you want to make an alliance with me? Cao Cao asked again. Cao Cao was right, why did he form an alliance with the small Taishou?
In other words, Cao Cao is saying that his Liu Bei's strength is too poor, what is there to rely on for him, the lord of the three states, to form an alliance with him?
"Hehe, yes, my lord is only a Shinno Taishou now, but once that Liu Biao dies, my lord will no longer be a Shinno Taishou! The whole of Jingzhou is in the pocket of my lord! Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, "In addition, there is also Yizhou, and the gate to Yizhou is in Jingzhou!"
And Liu Zhang of Yizhou is weak and incompetent, after my lord wins Jingzhou, he can wave his army to the west and take Yizhou directly! In this way, my lord is the lord of Jingzhou and Yizhou, and Cao Yuanjun still thinks that my lord is not qualified to form an alliance with Cao Yuanjun? ”
Hearing Zhuge Liang say this, Cao Cao frowned slightly, he frowned not because of anything else, but because Zhuge Liang's plan is indeed feasible, and once it is implemented, once it is successful, Liu Bei's strength will be unprecedentedly improved!
Before, when Liu Bei was the strongest, he was just a Qingzhou pastor, and when he wanted to take over Xuzhou, he was designed by Zhao Feng, stealing chickens and rice, Xuzhou didn't get it, not to mention, even Qingzhou was lost!
If Liu Bei sits on the land of Jing and Yierzhou, what will be the situation? That is, Zhao Feng's family in the north is dominant, and Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan in the south are three-legged! In that case, if the three of them work together, maybe they can really have the power to fight!
But on Zhao Feng's side, the two have a gentleman's covenant, an alliance under the city! Isn't it not good for him to be unilaterally treacherous?
After struggling for a long time, Cao Cao finally made a decision!
"It's not impossible to agree to an alliance, but I want to see Liu Bei take Jingzhou and Yizhou first, and it is after becoming the lord of the two states that we will officially form an alliance, and before that, it is better not to form an alliance!" Cao Cao said slowly.
"Hehe, Cao Yuanjun is really cautious, that's good, two years, it only takes two years, and my lord will take the land of Jing and Yi as his own! Please wait and see! Cao Cao's answer was expected by Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang had long known that Cao Cao would choose this way, so he readily agreed, and made a two-year contract.
In Zhuge Liang's opinion, it is very simple for Jingzhou and Yizhou to be captured, as long as Liu Biao dies, then there will be a chance!
However, what he didn't expect happened later, slapping Zhuge Liang's face to the ground. Of course, this is just an afterthought, and it's a little too early to tell!
"Okay, I'll wait and see, waiting for your two-year appointment!" Cao Cao nodded and readily agreed.
"Hehe, the goal has been achieved, Liang has to go to Jiangdong for a trip, so I won't bother much!" When Zhuge Liang saw that his goal was achieved, he wanted to say goodbye and leave.
"Then you won't leave Mr. Wolong! Mr. Wolong, let's go! Cao Cao nodded, he didn't want to keep Zhuge Liang in the first place, he still had to discuss this alliance with his advisers.
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, got up and left Cao Cao's mansion, and went all the way south, running towards Chaisang.
"Zhuge Liang? Mr. Wolong? Hehe, it's kind of interesting! Looking at Zhuge Liang's departing back, Cao Cao muttered.
Immediately, Cao Cao shook his head, no longer thinking about Zhuge Liang, and shouted loudly: "Come on, invite a few gentlemen to come to the mansion to discuss matters!" ”
Soon, it was still those five people, and there was still one less! Of course, this time Xu Yu did not go to Huajie Willow Lane, but enjoyed the disaster of prison in the prison!
"The lord summoned me to come, is there anything wrong?" Xun You was the first to ask.
"Well, just now Liu Bei's envoy Zhuge Liang came, and I formed an alliance with Liu Bei to fight against Zhao Feng together!" Cao Cao said.
"What ?!!" Everyone was surprised, they didn't expect Cao Cao to make such a decision, as we all know, Cao Cao and Zhao Fengde have a very good relationship, with a gentleman's covenant, an alliance under the city, and the two will never oppose each other! But why did Cao Cao do it now?
"That's right, Zhao Feng is powerful now, even if I, Liu Bei and Sun Quan join forces, it may not be his opponent, let alone we will face Zhao Feng alone! Because of this, I formed an alliance with Liu Bei and wanted to fight this time! Cao Cao said.
After listening to Cao Cao's words, everyone was silent, Cao Cao's words hit the nail on the head, what he said was the truth, Zhao Fengde's strength was obvious to all, it was not an ordinary strong, it was a perverted strong! So looking at it this way, it seems that forming an alliance with Liu Bei and Sun Quan is still a wiser choice!
"That's it! We've all come this far, how can we do it without fighting? Regardless of the outcome, at least we worked hard and tried everything we could, and that was enough! Even if we lose, we have no regrets! Cao Cao continued.
"But my lord, we can understand the alliance with Sun Quan, why is the alliance with Liu Bei? Liu Bei's current strength ......" Guo Tu said the confusion in everyone's hearts.
Yes, an alliance with Sun Quan is acceptable, but Liu Bei ...... I really don't dare to compliment his strength!
"Hehe, what if Liu Bei occupies Jingyi Erzhou?" Cao Cao asked rhetorically with a smile.
The people in the room are all smart people, Cao Cao understood as soon as he said this, if Liu Bei gets Jingyi Erzhou, then the strength should not be underestimated! But is it really possible?
"I have this question in mind!" Cao Cao smiled and said, "So what Cao and Zhuge Liang decided is that if Liu Bei gets Jingyi Erzhou, it can be regarded as a real alliance!" Otherwise, it's just a joke! ”
Everyone nodded approvingly, Cao Cao's move is undoubtedly the most correct choice, so that they don't have to help Liu Bei to fight for Jingyi Erzhou, and when fighting against Zhao Fengde, Liu Bei can still do his part!
"What do you think about this?" Cao Cao asked. After all, this is only a verbal covenant, and there is a possibility of reversal at any time!
"Lord, this move is very feasible, our own situation is that we can't fight against Zhao Fengde, so we are bound to form an alliance with others to fight against Zhao Feng, this matter should be sooner rather than later, so there is nothing bad about this alliance, it's just ......" Xun Yu said with some hesitation here.
"If Wen Ruo has anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it!" Cao Cao smiled.
"However, will Liu Bei and Sun Quan do their best to fight against Zhao Feng?" Xun Yu's words were loud, and after listening to them, everyone was silent.
