Chapter 116: Speculation and Stratagem (Part II)
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, and their first reaction was to refute, but there was no basis for refutation, Xu Zisheng and Lu Bu took away Dong Jun, almost accounting for ninety percent of Dong Jun, it was because of the existence of Xingyang that Dong Zhuo was relieved to send Lu Bu to lead the army to attack Jizhou, and the Xingyang defenders instead became a sharp knife to slaughter Dong Zhuo, and it was possible.
Seeing that everyone did not refute, Mo Shuyan continued: "In today's situation, it is really not difficult to rely on our strength to take Youzhou, but the land of Youzhou is really Brother Xuande, and my family master is not here, and it is difficult to send troops to help." ”
Mo Shuyan quite tactfully said the meaning of the two masters of a city, Liu Bei and Cao Cao had no objections.
Then Mo Shuyan looked at Liu Bei and said unreservedly: "It is difficult for my lord to help, and the only way to do this now is to ask for help from Liu Biao, who owns both Jingzhou and Xiangyang, and promise him the land of Youzhou, and use his strength to defend Youzhou." ”
Hearing this, Liu Bei nodded with difficulty, although he was unwilling to give up Youzhou, but now his troops could not hold Youzhou, which was targeted by everyone, and could only use external forces to recapture Youzhou first.
"As for us, according to the lord's idea, we will march into Xingyang, and after we settle down, we will talk about other things." Mo Shuyan said slowly.
Cao Cao obviously had no objection to this, and nodded directly to show his approval.
Seeing this, Liu Bei didn't say anything, and said with a fist in his eyes like a clear spring: "Since each has its own direction, let's act separately here." ”
After finishing speaking, seeing Mo Shuyan nodding in greeting, Liu Bei immediately left with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and soon there was a dense noise outside the tent, obviously Liu Bei took his subordinates to take refuge in Liu Biao.
After a while, after the tent was quiet, Cao Cao suddenly said: "Man Cheng, Tianyi, you go out first, I still have something to talk to Mr." ”
"No." Zhang Lie and Li Dian left immediately, and since Cao Cao wanted to talk to Mo Shuyan alone, it was not easy for them to force them to stay.
When they walked away, Cao Cao's originally plain face suddenly changed, he looked at Mo Shuyan with some expectation, and asked quietly: "After capturing Xingyang, Mr. should still have a purpose, can I say it now." ”
Hearing this, Mo Shuyan was really a little surprised, Cao Cao could see that he still had a hand, and it was not easy for him to hide it.
After stretching out his hand and pointing at Xingyang on the topographic map, Mo Shuyan said solemnly: "After capturing Xingyang, if it is really as we think, Dong Zhuo is eliminated by Linzhou, then Lu Bu will definitely fight in Xu Zisheng, at this time, these two people can not be distracted to take care of Chang'an, according to the strength of our army, it is not difficult to break through Chang'an." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Shuyan's hand was already pointing at the land of Chang'an, and Cao Cao's eyes were already as bright as stars, as if a huge situation was opening up in front of him.
The land of Chang'an, but with the current emperor, as long as who can control the life and death of the emperor, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes is not an empty word, Mo Shuyan's original intention is to let Cao Cao hold the Son of Heaven hostage and achieve the position of a generation of heroes as soon as possible.
The truth in this, Mo Shuyan believes that Cao Cao already knows, but it depends on what Cao Cao does, if Cao Cao still does not dare to be the emperor, I am afraid that Mo Shuyan will have to work hard to ensure that the foundation created by Cao Cao is not taken away by Sima Yan.
With a sigh in his heart, Mo Shuyan suddenly felt that he still had a long way to go.
