Chapter 784: Intercepting and killing Liu Bei
"Lord, I didn't expect Dong Zhuo to be killed? is still killed by Lu Bu, so it won't be long before the Xiliang Group is about to collapse. Guan Yu said.
"The Xiliang Group will inevitably collapse, even if they don't collapse, they will inevitably lose their strength and will not be able to threaten us by merging states, but Liu Bei is still a threat to us at this time, and it is still uncertain how this threat will change." Ye Chen said to everyone.
Dong Zhuo was killed unexpectedly, although it was delayed by more than a year compared to history, but in the end he was killed by Lu Bu, if it was not bad, then Wang Yun took control of Chang'an City, and then launched a purge.
"My lord, what should we do next?"
Things were unexpected, and the original calculations had to be changed.
They knew that their troubles would inevitably cause Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei to guard against each other, and then hurt each other.
Unexpectedly, this matter was directly used, Wang Yun took advantage of the opportunity of Dong Zhuo to come out and arranged for someone to kill him.
In normal times, Dong Zhuo doesn't go out, he is surrounded by his guards, even if he borrows ten dares from Lu Bu, Lu Bu does not dare to assassinate.
But it's different outside, you can ambush your own soldiers and horses outside, and you don't have to fall into a desperate situation after the assassination.
Ye Chen thought for a while and said: "Xiliang's soldiers and horses will inevitably be in chaos, and they won't be able to take care of Liu Bei at that time, so we can take the opportunity to destroy Liu Bei at this time, but the three of us can't trust each other, it's really difficult." ”
Attacking Liu Bei at this time, Ye Chen believed that the soldiers and horses in Bingzhou would definitely not come to the rescue when they got the news, they were all too busy to take care of themselves, where did they care so much.
But what Ye Chen was most afraid of was that Yuan Shao would sabotage it, and he brought 30,000 soldiers and horses, which could not be ignored.
Ye Chen thought for a while, and then said, "Let's go, find Cao Cao, and kill Liu Bei together." ”
Liu Bei's merger with Chen and his troops has already posed a great threat to Ye Chen, if he can take the opportunity to defeat Liu Bei, then Ye Chen's rear can be much safer.
Ye Chen led people directly to Cao Cao's barracks.
"Brother Meng De, this matter is very important, and we must come up with an idea as soon as possible." After coming to the barracks, Ye Chen directly informed Cao Cao of the matter and asked for his advice.
"Having said that, this is indeed a good opportunity, but Yuan Shao is on the side, it is still too dangerous." Cao Cao said.
"Meng De, what should we do no matter what, Liu Bei has lost his backer, if he doesn't flee, he will inevitably find a new backer, and this new backer is none other than Yuan Shao." Ye Chen said.
Cao Cao was shocked, if Yuan Shao was joining forces with Liu Bei, then he would be even more dangerous.
"Brother Ye, do you have any good ideas?"
"Send someone to intercept and kill Liu Bei, as soon as Liu Bei dies, their subordinates will naturally be in chaos." Ye Chen said.
Cao Cao nodded, agreeing with this method, but the annex was so big, and he didn't know which way Liu Bei would go, so it was not so easy to intercept and kill him.
"Another way is to let the people in the city know about the changes in Chang'an, and they will definitely find a way to rescue Liu Bei after they know it, and we can ambush them halfway." Ye Chen continued.
"Okay, let's implement the two methods together to eradicate the scourge of Liu Bei in one fell swoop." Cao Cao immediately made a decision and said.
While Ye Chen was discussing with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao also received the news, and then summoned his subordinates to discuss.
However, what Yuan Shao got was not the changes in Chang'an, but Ye Chen's movements.
"Lord, according to our surveillance, there were fast horses entering Ye Chen's military camp, and then about half an hour, Ye Chen hurried to find Cao Cao, he must have received some news." Yuan Shao's subordinates reported.
"What will it be? Let Ye Chen attach so much importance to it, and discuss it with Cao Cao in person? Yuan Shao asked.
Fu Zhi took the lead and said: "It should be the change in Chang'an, I think Ye Chen and Cao Cao must have a move, we must be prepared." ”
"I'm afraid this change will not be a small change, not only do we have to prepare, but General Yan Liang also has to prepare." Ju Yi said.
The general who came out with Yuan Shao this time was Ju Yi, while Yan Liang was sitting in Jizhou, and at the same time was ready to answer Yuan Shao at any time.
The three parties have their own plans, but at this time Yuan Shao didn't know what was going on in Chang'an.
After Ye Chen returned from Cao Cao, he began to arrange, sending several capable teams out to prepare to intercept and kill Liu Bei.
At the same time, Ye Chen and Cao Cao both brought soldiers and horses to prepare to ambush Liu Bei's soldiers and horses.
However, Yuan Shao would not do nothing, and began to arrange it.
Not long after Ye Chen and the others started to act, Yan Rou also received the news.
It turned out that Liu Bei had already felt the crisis.
It's just that he has been monitored by Li Ru and didn't dare to act rashly, until Li Ru began to prepare for Liu Bei's wedding, Liu Bei found an opportunity to let the guards quietly spread the news.
However, it was not the guards who ran back directly to report, otherwise they would definitely be discovered by Li Ru, but sent someone to pass the word, so the speed was much slower.
"Strategist, my eldest brother is in danger, and now it has been delayed for several days, and we must go south immediately." After receiving the news, Zhang Fei immediately couldn't sit still.
"Now that Ye Chen, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao haven't left, they must wait for us to mess up first, and then take advantage of the chaos to sneak attack us, it's too dangerous to go out at this time." Yan Rou said.
"I don't care, I must send troops to save my eldest brother immediately." Although Zhang Fei also knew the danger, he couldn't care about it so much.
"Okay, but let me think about it and see how it is arranged." Yan Rou also knew that if something happened to Liu Bei, then the entire force would collapse, and these soldiers and horses would not listen to him.
After thinking for a long time, Yan Rou said: "In this way, I can only sacrifice Gongsun Zhan." ”
Zhang Fei shut up and didn't speak, although this Gongsun Zhan had favors to them when he was in Luoyang, there was nothing more important than saving Liu Bei at this time.
Zhang Fei silently waited for Yan Rou's arrangement.
Yan Rou first found Gongsun Zhan, said that Liu Bei was back from the wedding, and asked him to send a fast horse to greet him.
At first, Gongsun Chan didn't suspect it, but after he left the city gate, he felt strange.
Now that the enemy is present, it is necessary to send someone to meet him, but Zhang Fei has always attached the most importance to Liu Bei, so he didn't even go.
It can also be said that Zhang Fei wants to stay and defend the city, after all, there are tens of thousands of enemy soldiers and horses around.
But if he didn't send anyone else to follow, Gongsun Chan was very suspicious.
"It's okay, no matter what conspiracy you have, anyway, I already plan to break away from Liu Bei, and sending people under the fence is sending people under the fence."
After all the previous things, Gongsun Chan didn't have a good impression of Liu Bei at all, Liu Bei guarded him like a thief, if it weren't for his own existence so that Liu Bei could benefit from other forces, I am afraid that Liu Bei would have killed himself a long time ago, and then ate his own soldiers and horses.
Gongsun Chan is no longer nostalgic, he has long had the intention of running away, but he has never found a good opportunity, and now the opportunity is in front of him.
Gongsun Chan came out and was immediately received by the spies of the three parties, and the three parties also began to prepare separately.
