Cao Ren sneered: "Liu Bei is just a general of the defeated army, and it is difficult to protect himself, but now he wants to support Yizhou, which is really beyond his strength." ”

Cao Cao said: "Liu Bei's support for Yizhou is not as simple as it seems, and Liu Bei has the help of villagers like Zhuge Liang, who controls the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou, and will definitely not let go of the land of Yizhou, if he can get Yizhou, then Liu Bei's power should not be underestimated." ”

"Zhuge Villager, it's just a false rumor from the people of Jingzhou." Xiahou said.

The generals in the field burst into laughter.

"Zhuge Villager, this general looks at Liu Bei, his ears are very big, it is said that his eyes can see his ears, this Liu Daer and Zhuge Villager are in one place, it is very wonderful." Xiahou Yuan laughed.

Even the civil officials in the field couldn't help but laugh when they heard such words, and just like that, Liu Daer and Zhuge Villager spread among Cao Jun.

Cao Cao coughed lightly and said: "Liu Bei wants to plot Yizhou, this is inevitable, Jingzhou is the land of four wars, but how could Lu Bu let Liu Bei capture Yizhou so easily." ”

Seeing Cao Cao talking about business, the generals were silent, and when they usually discussed major matters, although the important generals in the army were also among them, there was no place for them to speak.

"Zhang Lu had close contacts with Chang'an, and it is said that Lü Bu once sent an envoy to Nanzheng, and Zhang Lu treated the envoy with great courtesy." Cheng Yu said.

"In this way, if Zhang Lu takes refuge in Lu Bu, then Lu Bu has a great chance of seizing Xichuan." Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, how important Yizhou is to a prince, Cao Cao is naturally clear, now at this time, he is naturally beyond the reach of Yizhou, but he doesn't want to let Lu Bu get the land of Yizhou so easily, if Lu Bu occupies Yizhou, it means that there are no worries.

Although Liangzhou has Han Sui's power, Han Sui obeyed Lu Bu's words, and even when the princes jointly attacked and merged with the state, they were unswervingly on Lu Bu's side, which shows what he would do, and Yizhou became an existence that threatened Lu Bu's rule, Yizhou was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it could divide Lu Bu's energy to a certain extent.

Although the princes said that they were recruiting troops on a large scale, Lu Bu did not show weakness, and the soldiers and horses of Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Sanfu were added together, which had reached more than 100,000, and what kind of combat effectiveness the army under Lu Bu had, Cao Cao was very clear.

With the support of war horses on the grassland, Lu Bu's development of cavalry is also extremely fast, and just war horses, Lu Bu has gained a lot of benefits from the princes, showing a powerful Lu Bu in front of the princes, not only has a strong army, but also has a heritage that should not be underestimated.

"What does the lord mean?" Xun You asked.

"Naturally, you can't let Lu Bu seize Yizhou so easily, although Liu Daer is very hypocritical, he is a good helper, if he can be used by us in the future, he can greatly contain Lu Bu's power." Cao Cao said.

Xun You said: "In this way, it is cheaper for Liu Bei, if Liu Bei has a firm foothold in Yizhou, it will be even more difficult to become an enemy of him in the future." ”

Cheng Yu and Xun Yu also nodded in agreement, no one expected that the original princes jointly attacked and merged with the state, and other things that were so stable that they would have failed, otherwise, Yanzhou would not have fallen into the passive situation now, not to mention the turmoil in Xuzhou, even Jingzhou, I am afraid that it has become a place of war at this time.

Cao Cao's thoughts, the important strategists in the field know, if you want to complete this matter, you must need strong strength, otherwise, you can only become an endless situation with Jingzhou, although the influence of the Han family is extremely weak, but the benefits obtained after controlling the Han family are obvious, and gaining a firm foothold in the righteousness means that there will be a lot of things, such as when Liu Bei was in Jingzhou, there were many scribes who went to take refuge, which is the invisible heritage of the Han family.

Cao Cao said: "This is also helpless, if Lu Bu occupies Yizhou, even if all the princes of the world are united in one place, I am afraid it will be helpless." ”

When the generals in the field heard Lu Bu, their expressions also showed a solemn look, the army under Lu Bu has proved their strength with one war after another, even the Chang'an army, which has not been formed for a long time, has also shown strong strength in Liangzhou, and the training of troops in Jizhou all shows the strength of the army under Lu Bu.

It is hard for Cao Cao to imagine that when the princes jointly attacked Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, who was only a military general, actually achieved the achievements that he has made, which has changed the color of the family in the world.

Losing the support of the family, Lu Bu gained the hearts of the people, at this point, the princes had to admit that the combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou army that won the hearts of the people was extremely strong, and the support of the people was where Lu Bu's confidence lies, and it can be said that the path taken by Lu Bu is completely different from that of other princes.

"Now that Lu Bu has transferred his rule to Chang'an, if he stabilizes Chang'an, Jingzhou will be in danger, and Yanzhou will also face a big threat." Xun Yu said.

"Liu Bei can seize Yizhou, but if he doesn't pay some price, it will be too cheap Liu Bei." Cao Cao said.

"The lord only needs to send an envoy to Jingzhou, and he will definitely be able to get what he wants." For a long time, Cao Cao's identity has been Yanzhou Mu, which is much lower than Lu Bu's general, and even Liu Bei's subordinates have become a hussar general of the Han Dynasty, and it is impossible for Cao Cao to be uncomfortable in his heart.

And in today's situation development, it is difficult to support Liu He to become the emperor and thus fight against the Han family in Jingzhou, so it is better to temporarily unite with Jingzhou and clamp down on the development of Lu Bu.

"Not only that, but I also have to send someone to secretly contact Yuan Benchu, presumably Benchu is the most anxious at this time, if it weren't for Liu Bei's intention to benefit the state, I'm afraid that Lu Bu would be the first to clean up Yuan Shao." Cao Cao said.

Not to mention the secret alliance between the princes, at this time the army gathered in Chang'an, there were 50,000 people, and 10,000 troops were also sent from Youzhou to Jizhou, and now the 30,000 troops in Jinyang were sent to Hanoi, 10,000 were sent to defend Huguan, and the mobilization of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses made Lu Bu have to respond.

"Now it seems that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are planning to support Liu Bei in seizing Yizhou." Lu Bu's eyes tightened, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao stationed troops at the junction under their rule, and their intentions were obvious, if the army under his command entered Yizhou in a big way, it would inevitably lead to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's attack.
