Among Yuan Shao's interests, Cao Cao decided that he could not attack Xuzhou.

You must know that Cao Cao is the number two person in the alliance, and if he attacks his ally Xuzhou, the alliance against Qin will collapse immediately.

The collapse of the alliance is not the most serious, what is even more serious is that no one can stop Qin Ye's counterattack. Qin Ye will definitely use this opportunity to attack the princes from all walks of life.

Yuan Shao immediately sent Chen Lin as an envoy to find Cao Cao to explain.

Chen Lin is a famous person in the world, and when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao came to Luoyang, everyone was a good friend.

Sending Chen Lin as an envoy can show how much Yuan Shao attaches importance to this matter.

Luoyang is very close to Cao Cao's base camp of Xuchang.

Five days later, Chen Lin returned.

Yuan Shao opened the Deyang Hall in the imperial palace in the eastern capital of Luoyang as his meeting hall. Demonstrate his orthodox status, as well as the attributes of Qin Ye's national thief.

Seeing Chen Lin, who was dusty and tired, including Yuan Shao, everyone's mood was not good.

Chen Lin was really tired, the continuous cycle of horseback riding was too long, and her buttocks were swollen. It seems that he is also desperate to be able to bring back the news as soon as possible.

"Lord, my subordinates have done their best. It seems that Cao Cao has already eaten the scales, and he is determined to kill Tao Qian. He said that Tao Qian is a greedy and pet-loving person, a person who is imminent and misfortune, and a despicable villain. Killing him is a blatant and good thing for the Alliance. ”

After listening to this, Yuan Shao's head suddenly grew big, and he patted the case a few times: "Listen, this is a pretext." If Cao Cao goes to attack Tao Qian, I can guarantee that the Qin army will immediately cross the river and head south, and no one will be able to stop Qin Ye. Didn't you tell Cao Cao? ”

"I told him, but it seems that Cao Mengde has no longer care about it in order to take revenge." Chen Lin said.

The revenge of killing his father is not shared.

It is also human nature for Cao Cao to make such a choice.

But Yuan Shao was dumbfounded.

"The subordinates think ......." Chen Lin began to speak, "The alliance against Qin cannot be disintegrated, if Cao Cao insists on going his own way, he will unite all allies to destroy Cao Cao." Distribute his forces and all parties, and continue to maintain the encirclement and suppression posture of Qin Ye. ”

Chen Lin's speech was recognized by everyone.

If he ignored Cao Cao's military operations, Qin Ye would definitely take the opportunity to send troops. Cao Cao's move was undoubtedly paving the way for Qin Ye to unify the Central Plains, so he must not sit idly by.

The only way is to eliminate Cao Cao and replace him.

Yuan Shao was very interested in Cao Cao's sphere of influence, so he felt that this was also an opportunity for himself, and couldn't help but secretly say: "Meng De, since you gave me such a good excuse, don't blame me for being ruthless and unjust." ”

It was Tian Feng and others who were also very interested in Cao Cao's power. If Yuan Shao gets these places in Xuchang and Gunzhou, he will succeed. Immediately looked at Chen Lin with admiration.

…………

Five days later.

On this day, Cao Cao was in the chamber, and the conference was civil and military, and he had already begun to discuss the route of the army to Xuzhou.

At this time, Yuan Shao's envoy came.

Yuan Shao's messenger brought Yuan Shao's letter to Cao Cao, which was actually an ultimatum.

The general meaning of the ultimatum is this: if Cao Cao continues to insist on attacking Tao Qian, then Cao Cao will be betraying the alliance, breaking the covenant, and breaking the oath. Then according to the covenant and oath, Cao Cao will be destroyed by heaven and earth, and everyone will be punished.

Then, Yuan Shao was very embarrassed to say that he would send troops to the Tiger Prison and unite with his brother Yuan Shu, as well as Tao Qian, Lu Bu, Liu Bei and others, to kill Cao Cao.

Is Cao Cao the one who accepts the threat?

Even if he could accept the threat, it would not be like this.

After Boss Cao angrily killed Yuan Shao's messenger, he took the case and looked at everyone coldly, "No matter what the price, you must take revenge!" ”

Xiahou and Cao Ren stood up as soon as possible and vowed to avenge the old lady.

Guo Jia, these outsiders, panicked. But it is impossible not to let Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xiahou and Xiahou Yuan avenge the old lady of their family. Don't say it's the lord's father.

Cheng Yu said bluntly: "Lord, Yuan Shao is definitely not just talking. If we really attack Xuzhou, the alliance led by Yuan Shao will definitely temporarily stop attacking Qinye and attack us instead. ”

If this is the case, it will definitely not be able to withstand the alliance's attack. In addition, there is also a Qin Ye, it can be expected that Cao Cao's forces will definitely be defeated.

Cao Cao slowly stood up and looked around at everyone, "As a son, if you can't avenge your father, how can you live in heaven and earth?" ”

Xun Yu walked out anxiously and saluted: "Lord, there is no need to rush the matter of attacking Xuzhou. Why not pause for a while and find another way. ”

However, Cao Cao couldn't listen to it at all, and it was imminent to send troops to Xuzhou.

Xun Yu walked out of Cao Cao's mansion, looked up to the sky and sighed, "Time, luck, and fate are also ......." ”

The next day.

Guo Jia rushed to stop Cao Cao, who was about to leave.

As one of the outstanding military advisors of the younger generation, he will not allow his ideals to be shattered like this. He could not see his own future after Cao Cao's defeat. Nor can he stop a son from avenging his father.

Fortunately, as Xun Yu said, there should be other ways to solve the current crisis.

"Feng Xiao ......." Outside the gate of the mansion, Cao Cao got on the horse, and he was already absolute, "If you still persuade me, you don't need to say it." ”

Guo Jia hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse, "Lord, I have a strategy to avenge the old lady and resolve the threat brought by all parties now." ”

Everyone's eyes widened suddenly, and it would be great if they could do so.

Cao Cao immediately dismounted, pulled Guo Jia, and returned to the council chamber.

Guo Jia stood in the hall and said what he was thinking, "Why don't you reach an agreement with Qin Ye and withdraw from the alliance." Ask Qin Ye to attack and merge the state, so as to contain Yuan Shao. And Yuan Shao's most powerful reinforcement is Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu may not necessarily help Yuan Shao. ”

"Why don't you send someone to lobby Yuan Shu, let Yuan Shu fight back, suddenly attack Yuan Shao, and replace him. Yuan Shu is the son-in-law of the Yuan family, but the family business was inherited by Yuan Shao, and the two have long been incompatible. Yuan Shu sits on the land of Yanghuai, with more than 200,000 armor, how can he be willing to succumb to Yuan Shao, most of him will agree. ”

As Guo Jia expressed his opinion, everyone thought about it.

Cao Cao was under great pressure in the past two days, and he knew that if he attacked Xuzhou, the foundation would definitely be destroyed. But every time he thinks of the picture of his father's tragic death, he can't care so much.

But it would be better if the foundation could be preserved.

Cheng Yu expressed his opinion at this time, "Qin Ye's side, it shouldn't be difficult. After all, Qin Ye's current predicament is by no means less than that of the Lord. The union of the two is of great benefit to him. It's just that let Yuan Shu attack Yuan Shao'....... ”

Cao Cao finally smiled, "Yuan Shu, I know better than any of you. He and I, as well as Yuan Shao, grew up together. His hatred for Yuan Shao is not something you can understand. He hated and suppressed himself, and if he could be given a chance, he would definitely explode. ”

In other words, let Yuan Shu see success, he will definitely do something to Yuan Shao.

But how to make Yuan Shu see success?

"Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao joined forces to attack me, Yuan Shu suddenly launched an attack on Yuan Shao, and I will help him ......."

As Cao Cao said, everyone's eyes widened.

Therefore, on the one hand, Cao Cao continued to increase troops to the border of Xuzhou, and on the other hand, he sent people from both ends to lobby Qin Ye and Yuan Shu.
