Chapter 268: Cao Cao's Ambition
The news of Liu He's concubines spread like the wind all over the twelve states of the world, and the news that Liu He's wife and six concubines were all peerless and beautiful also spread throughout Huaxia Shenzhou, which caused a huge response. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The first to react strongly was Yuan Shu.
"What? You said that Qiao Rui has two daughters who are like flowers? Damn it! When he was under my command, why did this guy hide it? It seems that this old boy had the intention of taking refuge in the clan surnamed Liu at the beginning, so he concealed the fact that he had a pair of daughters, hehe, I treated him well, and I treated me like this, and one day in the future I caught this old boy, I must divide his five horses, no, I want to catch his two daughters first, and play with these two daughters in front of him, and then reward those two daughters to the soldiers, and then divide the old boy's five horses! ”
Then Yuan Shu secretly thought: "This Qiao Rui has no vision, and he actually chose a person like Liu He, but what does Liu He have?" He has mastered so much territory, but he has never dared to call the emperor and king, and I Yuan Shu has the jade seal of the country in his hands, and it is the destiny of heaven, and he will soon come out of that one, if your two daughters follow me, they are all concubines, but now with Liu He, they are just ordinary concubines, no reputation and no status, I believe you will regret it in the future! ”
At this time, because Sun Ce fought in Jiangdong, Yuan Shu took it for granted that Sun Ce was his subordinate, thinking that he had occupied one-third of the territory in the world, and he could completely confront Liu He
Soon after, Yuan Shu ignored the dissuasion of the strategist Yan Xiang, proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun, named the country as Zhongshi, placed a hundred officials and ministers, sacrificed in the southern suburbs, and issued an edict to the world.
When the news of Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor came, it immediately aroused the anger of the princes of the whole world, and Sun Ce immediately declared independence from Yuan Shu, and drove away Yuan Yin, the Taishou of Danyang, appointed by Yuan Shu, and persuaded Wu Jinghe, the Taishou of Guangling, and the general Sun Ben to surrender, which made Yuan Shu lose the land of Jiangdong. Not only that, Sun Ce also ordered a large army to attack Yuan Shu's Lujiang.
In addition to this, even Cao Cao and Yuan Shao declared Yuan Shu a rebellion and gathered troops on the border to prepare to attack Yuan Shu.
However, Yuan Shu did not measure his strength and decided to preemptively lead the army to attack Cao Cao's Chen County, but was defeated by Cao Cao and returned.
And Liu Bei, who was originally opposed to Yuan Shu, used this as an excuse to lead a large army to attack Huainan, and even Lu Bu, who had promised to ally with Yuan Shu, led an army to attack Yuan Shu's Jiujiang County from Peiguo, and beheaded Yu She, a general under Yuan Shu.
At the same time, Liu He, who Yuan Shu hated the most, also ordered Nanyang Taishou Zhang Xiu to unite Liu Biao's Huangzu army to prepare to attack Shouchun.
Under such circumstances, the soldiers fighting on the front line of Yuan Shu suffered defeats one after another, their morale was low, and the army was depressed, and in just three months, they lost the three counties of Lujiang, Runan, and Guangling one after another, and even his "Huainan Yin" was now besieged by the heroes on all sides.
What worried Yuan Shu even more was that his two generals, Lei Bo and Chen Lan, defected at this critical moment, plundered his grain and grass, and fled to Qianshan.
The news of Yuan Shu's defeat reached Xu Du, Cao Cao was not only displeased when he heard the news, but was full of melancholy, and said to the strategist Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, before your two tigers were seen through by Liu Bei, and you offered me a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, now it seems that this Lu Bu and Liu Bei jointly attacked Yuan Shu, once Yuan Shu is defeated, it is estimated that they will unite to try my Xu Du, and now it seems that your plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf has also failed." ”
Xun Yu said with a smile: "This is not necessarily, Lu Bu is capricious and mercenary, the reason why he didn't make a move against Liu Bei now is that he didn't find a chance, once he finds an opportunity, I believe he will immediately fight back." Now Liu Bei took Guan Yu to fight Yuan Shu together, only Zhang Fei sat in Xiapi, Zhang Fei was violent and liked to whip soldiers, so I think the situation in Xuzhou will change soon. ”
As soon as Xun Yu's words were finished, he heard the general Cao Ren break in, and said loudly: "Lord, it's not good, the last general heard that Lu Bu took advantage of the drunken time of the Xiapi guard Zhang Fei, and agreed to the request of the rebel general Cao Bao, and led the army to attack Xiapi in the starry night. ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately said to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo is clever, something happened in Xuzhou, haha, then we need to contact Liu Bei and plan Lu Bu together." ”
Then he saw Xun Yu arching his hand and said, "Congratulations to the lord on getting Xuzhou." ”
Cao Cao smiled when he heard this, and then said: "I have no other plans in this life, one is to sweep the four seas in order to become a hegemon, and the other is to get Liu He and the beauties in the mansion and put them in the mansion, although there is no regret in death." ”
"It turns out that the lord is also interested in the beauties in Liu He's mansion." Cao Ren was a little plausible about the conversation between Cao Cao and Xun Yu, but he heard Cao Cao's words clearly, so he stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's not easy? The lord only needs to recruit Liu He's wife and concubine to Luoyang in the name of the Son of Heaven, and Liu He has to obey. ”
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "How can it be as simple as you think? Who is Liu He? A generation of heroes, how can they really put the Son of Heaven in their eyes? Besides, who is the Son of Heaven? How can such a decision be made? If you really do this, won't you become a faint king? So what's the use of us protecting such a faint king? Besides, Liu He's father, Liu Yu, is still in the court, do you think he will agree to such a thing? Therefore, the matter of beauties still has to be slow, but it is just cheaper for Liu He and this child, so that he can suffer so many beautiful beauties in vain. But I believe that one day, I will lead an army of millions to Chang'an, capture Liu He's city, cut off his head, and laugh at the beauties in his mansion......"
Speaking of this, Cao Cao's face revealed a thick obscene color, and the human nature was exposed at this time.
Xun Yu couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this, his lord is good everywhere, he just likes to search for beauties everywhere, and his favorite is still people and wives, although this is harmless, but Xun Yu always feels that his lord will suffer for this matter in the future. However, no matter how Xun Yu persuaded him, Cao Cao never really changed it, but regarded it as an interest.
