Two hundred and eighty-four, Cao Cao was shocked
All the strategies arranged by Cao Cao were to prevent Yuan Shao's surprise attack, after all, the distance between the two sides was too close, and there was only the Yellow River. But if the reinforcements once they crossed the river and arrived at Xuchang in an instant with the advantage of distance, it would be a little difficult for Cao Cao to run away at that time, so Cao Cao must take the lead and must not give Yuan Shao a chance.
This year is a bit uncomfortable, on the one hand, he is not happy that he has won, and on the other hand, Yuan Shao has already started a conflict with him. Liu Zhang's stupidity opened Cao Cao's eyes, but in this situation, Cao Cao still had to join forces with Liu Zhang. Otherwise, he was besieged by Yuan Shao in front, and Liu Zhang only needed to beat the drum and shout in the back, and he would have to divide his troops, and at that time he Cao Cao would definitely be defeated.
"How do we get an alliance with Liu Zhang now? That Fa Zheng will definitely not agree to us so easily, and presumably Yuan Shao will also win over Liu Zhang. If Yuan Shao and Liu Zhang cooperate with each other, we are afraid that we will definitely lose. Cao Cao pondered the key question, that is, how to lure Liu Zhang to agree to help him instead of stabbing him in the back.
Cheng Yu came out and said: "Lord, Liu Zhang is greedy for money and lustful, we can promise to attack Yuan Shao and then merge the state to him, and secondly, the lord can marry Liu Zhang." Since then, the money has been given, as for the lustful ...... What is the Lord's will? "What virtue Liu Zhang has, now the entire Cao Cao Group understands.
Cao Cao has too many daughters, most of them are tools to use, if he can have a good alliance with Liu Zhang, then it is not a big deal to let one out. As for the kind of place that merges with the state and gives him, what about it? When he solves Yuan Shao, why is Liu Zhang afraid?
In view of Liu Zhang's obvious weakness, Cao Cao had too many ways to calculate Liu Zhang. With Liu Zhang's obvious weakness, Cao Cao only needs to use a little means, and he will naturally play Liu Zhang. In Cao Cao's opinion, Liu Zhang's terrible thing is those subordinates, so it is enough to use tactics to let them deviate from morality, and secondly, Liu Zhang seems to be a strong force and does not have many troops, and his ability to divide troops to fight must not be strong. From this point of view, it seems that Liu Zhang is not very powerful.
"Liu Zhang is too rich, he is the ally we need. This year, Liu Zhang needs to rectify Yuzhou, and suddenly there is such a large territory, but he has even fewer troops, since he is so full of favors to go to Chang'an. When the time comes, finalize the alliance plan with that Liu Zhang, of course, it is best to marry with that Liu Zhang. As long as Liu Zhang is willing, Cao Cao doesn't mind cleaning up Liu Zhang after solving Yuan Shao, leaving Liu Zhang's life in the future.
Cao Cao made a plan for this year here, all in order to deal with the rising Yuan Shao. Cao Cao was conceited that he was definitely stronger than Liu Zhang and Yuan Shao, but it was too uncomfortable for him to be sandwiched between the two of them. In the strategic position, Cao Cao is extremely disadvantaged. But Cao Cao is not afraid, the enemy has too obvious weaknesses, and Cao Cao is still very confident that he can defeat them.
The taste of the New Year is just a time to think about things here in Cao Cao, but here in the Son of Heaven, it needs to be expressed. Summing up what he has done in the past year, he eliminated Yuan Shu and some other traitors, which really made the Son of Heaven a lot happier, but in fact, he understood his current situation better than anyone else.
But this year, the royal family seems to have produced two heroes, and Liu Bei, who is a little older Jingshan, seems to have some power. As the Son of Heaven, Liu Xie could not give him any material support, only nominal support. Liu Bei was specially commended, and he was called Uncle Huang.
Of course, what made Liu Xie happiest was the strong rise of Liu Zhang in Xishu, which made Liu Xie see the sign of the prosperity of the Han family, and that person seemed to have the power to compete with Cao Cao? But just when Liu Xie was ready to reward Liu Zhang, Cao Cao blocked him. How can this kind of thing be Liu Xie's turn to do it? Even if it is to befriend Liu Zhang, it is Cao Cao's business, and it is absolutely impossible for the Son of Heaven to do it.
"The queen Han family is still saved, and Liu Zhang of Xishu currently occupies half of the Han Dynasty. His current strength is enough to compete with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, Liu Zhang is the same age as me, but he is such a hero, and the big man can still be saved. Seeing that his ancestors seemed to be saved and would not be destroyed in his hands, this made him feel a lot more relaxed.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Han family has produced such a person." Although Queen Fu has a good background, she can enter the palace from a humble background. This is something that Cao Cao looks down on, but the Son of Heaven doesn't think about it so much.
Liu Xie sighed and said: "In the future, the queen should be careful when she speaks, then Cao Cao must want to marry the two daughters into the palace...... The queen will have to be careful in the future. Liu Xie burst into tears when he said this, he did such a job as a son of heaven.
Cao Cao's two daughters entered the palace, which put too much pressure on Liu Xie. In the huge palace, there really aren't many places where the Son of Heaven can speak calmly, probably just a toilet like thatch, right? But in general, although Liu Xie could not hold the authority of the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao did not feel sorry for him in any other way.
Two beautiful women gave it to Liu Xie, and they had everything they needed for food and clothing. Although there are occasional disrespectful places, I have never been sorry for him. This is still quite good in Liu Zhang's opinion, if it is replaced by Liu Zhang, it is estimated that he will pinch his nose and admit it. For a person who has no pressure to survive, with so many beauties and such a good living environment, is it not a qualified rice worm?
A few families are happy and a few are sad, and Cao Cao sent out a full favor this time. Cao Cao thought that Liu Zhang would go back to Chang'an directly after solving the matter of Lu Bu, but in fact Liu Zhang went to the south. It's just that a few days after the Chinese New Year, Liu Xun came to Yanzhou. Cao Cao listened to Liu Xun in the living room, but his heart became more and more frightened.
Liu Zhang was just teasing him at all, and is Yuan Shu really not good? Liu Zhang killed Yuan Shu in just a few days? That's an exaggeration, isn't it? Although Cao Cao said that he had defeated Yuan Shu, Cao Cao really didn't dare to completely defeat Yuan Shu, and he didn't have the ability to completely defeat Yuan Shu. He felt that no matter how bad Yuan Shu was, he wouldn't be so bad. But in this way, Yuan Shu was actually taken down by Liu Zhang so easily? When it came to Lujiang, it was even more overwhelming......
"Zitai means that the entire Yangzhou has fallen into Liu Zhang's hands? What about Jiangdong Sun Ce? ”
Xun Yu was simply shocked, then Liu Zhang is too powerful, right? When I was in alliance with Liu Zhang at that time, it couldn't be too stupid. Such a stupid person actually took Jiujiang, Lujiang and other places in just over two months? Even Danyang could fall into that person's hands, which was a bit scary.
Liu Xun knows the specific situation, but it seems that Sun Ce must not be Liu Zhang's opponent: "I don't know how Danyang is, but Lujiang, Jiujiang, and Yuzhang are already Liu Zhang, I'm afraid that Sun Ce can't hold it for a long time." Liu Xun hurriedly said, it is best for Cao Cao to attack Liu Zhang now.
Waving his hand to let Liu Xun go down to rest, Cheng Yu said with an ugly face: "It can be seen that Liu Zhang has long known that there is no cheap place in Xuzhou to occupy, and deliberately coaxed me to wait." Most of Lu Bu's generals were taken by that Liu Zhang, and now it is only in such a short period of time that the two counties have been connected, and the lord Liu Zhang must be on guard! "Now they really can't understand Liu Zhang, which one is the real him. Is Liu Zhang himself smart, or is Li Ru powerful?
Cao Cao was just about to say something after hearing this, when a soldier from outside came to report: "The envoy from the lord Jiangdong is here." ”
Sun Ce suffered a great defeat, but he followed Zhou Yu's plan and joined Cao Cao to attack Liu Zhang. Now that Liu Zhang occupies these places, it must make Sun Ce uncomfortable. Without natural hazards, how can they resist Liu Zhang's iron horse? By the time Liu Zhang trained the sailors, they had no place to go.
Cao Cao was shocked in his heart, could it be that Sun Ce had already been defeated? Although he doesn't have his father's bravery, he definitely doesn't lose much color. The Jiangdong Sun family is full of heroes, and his Sun Ce is not bad. Can't even hold on for a month or two?
"Come on in." When he saw the envoy, Cao Cao hurriedly asked, "But then Liu Zhang's attack on Danyang is still a good thing?" "This situation is already very bad, I'm afraid it's going to be the end of Sun Ce after so long, right?
The messenger was none other than Lu Su, he directly took out the letter and presented it and said, "Ming Gong is talking after reading it. "There is an introduction to Liu Zhang's new weapons in the letter, and this kind of thing still depends on what Cao Cao says.
Cao Cao looked at Lu Su and was not very anxious, it seemed that Sun Ce still had a big problem there. After receiving the letter, Cao Cao looked at it carefully. But the more he looked at him, the more shocked he became, and he was simply frightened when he saw the end. What is that, really such a terrible thing? It's a bit scary to blow up a two-meter-long crack directly on the big ship. If this thing comes to the city gate, I'm afraid that the gate of Xuchang will be broken directly? No wonder Liu Zhang's attack on these places in Jingzhou is so simple, with this thing, what city gate can't be opened?
Cao Cao's face became more and more ugly, and he didn't know what it was, and he definitely didn't lie to him if he was credible. Thinking that if he fought with Liu Zhang, the other party's people would explode in front of their city, how could this battle be fought? If it is a field battle, the other party will first attack his side, and then use the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to continuously attack, how should he face Liu Zhang at that time?
Cao Cao's face became more and more ugly, but Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and even Xu Chu and Dian Wei on the side didn't understand what was going on. But Cao Cao's face was obviously getting more and more shocked and scared, which made them very confused. When Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo alone, it wasn't as ugly as it is today?
Although it was still the Chinese New Year, Cao Cao's heart was depressed. thought he understood Liu Zhang, but others never took him seriously. At this moment, Cao Cao understood that Liu Zhang was probably really powerful. It seems that before the alliance between himself and Liu Zhang, there is bound to be a battle.
