"Now it seems that among the princes of the five directions, in the end, it may be a contest between Benhou and Fengxian." Cao Cao sighed, although the princes failed to contain Lu Bu, it affected the development of Lu Bu to a certain extent, although Lu Bu seized Jizhou, but it was necessary to pay a greater price, and he only had Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou at this time, compared with Lu Bu, there is still a large gap, among which Xuzhou still has unstable characters such as Zang Ba, and the capture of Jingzhou is what Cao Cao has been secretly planning, not only that, but secretly Cao Cao has a lot of contact with the family in Jingzhou.

Compared with Liu Bei, Cao Cao showed a stronger strength, and after Liu Bei defected to Liu Biao, he seized the military power of Jingzhou, which to a certain extent caused the dissatisfaction of the officials in Jingzhou with Liu Bei, after all, the officials in Jingzhou at this time represented the Han family.

"My lord, as expected, Lu Bu will definitely send an envoy to Yanzhou." Xun Yu Dao.

Cao Cao nodded, not only did Lu Bu send an envoy to come, but Yuan Shao's envoy had already arrived in Yanzhou, but how could Cao Cao respond to Yuan Shao's attack on Jizhou, after capturing Jizhou, it was Yuan Shao who grew stronger, and there was no need for him to let his soldiers shed blood outside Hangu Pass for Yuan Shao's ambitions.

The matter of Yizhou is difficult for Cao Cao to interfere in, otherwise, it is extremely difficult for Liu Bei to seize Yizhou, and if Lu Bu is determined to break through Qingzhou, it will be Cao Cao's opportunity, an opportunity to seize Jingzhou.

When attacking Chang'an, the Jingzhou army also paid a lot of price, plus after Liu Bei entered Yizhou, he took away 30,000 elite soldiers of the Jingzhou army, so Jingzhou must be empty, as long as Jingzhou can be broken, and then break through the Jiangdong land in one fell swoop, Cao Cao has enough confidence to be able to defeat Lu Bu on the battlefield in the future.

As Cao Cao expected, five days later, an envoy from Chang'an came to Shanyang, and this time it was Li Su, the first advisor to follow Lü Bu, and he was also a momentary figure among the officials under Lü Bu.

Sending Li Su to envoy Cao Cao is enough to see that Lu Bu attaches great importance to this war.

Cao Cao can understand Lu Bu's thoughts, such a thing is put on him, it will not be comfortable, and the instability of the rule is an extremely serious problem for a monarch, and what Lu Bu has always pursued is absolute control of the rule, which inevitably touches the interests of the family.

If Lu Bu could treat the family like him and Yuan Shao, it might be Lu Bu who entered Yizhou at this time, not Liu Bei, and what obeyed the orders of the imperial court to join Liu Bei was just a fool of ordinary people.

"Let the envoy of Chang'an come in." Cao Cao said lightly, Lu Bu needs his support, and he also needs Lu Bu's support, and the two sides can be said to be mutually beneficial in this matter.

After entering the state pastoral mansion, there was no imaginary scene of civilian, military and military generals gathering, and there were only Cao Cao, Xun You and other important officials in the hall. 、

After being slightly stunned, Li Su arched his hand and said, "Chang'an envoy Li Su has seen the Marquis of Shanyang. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Envoy, please take a seat." ”

In the face of Cao Cao and other figures, Li Su had to be vigilant, he sent an envoy to Yanzhou, representing Lu Bu, if he was embarrassed in Yanzhou, it would be to damage Lu Bu's face.

"I don't know why the envoy came this time, between the Marquis and the Marquis of Jin, but there are some grievances, isn't the envoy afraid of dying in the city?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

Li Su's heart moved, and he immediately smiled: "What kind of person is the Marquis of Shanyang, how can he be a messenger in the difficult area." ”

"If Li Weigong is a mere envoy, dare to ask the officials under the command of the Marquis of Jin how to deal with themselves?" Cao Cao said.

After some greetings, Li Su said: "Marquis of Shanyang, I came down to form an alliance between the two sides, I don't know what Marquis Shanyang thinks of this matter?" ”

"I don't know what benefits Ben Hou will get if he forms an alliance with the Marquis of Jin?" Cao Cao asked, he would not easily reveal his ambition until he had found out Lu Bu's intentions.

Li Su said with a smile: "The two sides stopped fighting, that was to save the soldiers and civilians on both sides from the war, and besides, didn't the Marquis of Shanyang send an envoy to Jinyang to make friends with the Marquis of Jin?" ”

Cao Cao's expression froze, after Lu Bu's victory, it was a last resort to send an envoy to Jinyang, and similarly, Cao Cao also paid a lot of price for the original defeat, after all, in that case, no one wants to anger Lu Bu, lose something, and it is more cost-effective to get temporary stability, of course, Jiangdong does not have so many concerns, and Lu Bu's governance is far away, they don't need to worry about safety for the time being.

Because of the attack on Lü Bu, there was a lot of contradiction between Cao Cao and Jiangdong, mainly because of the problem of interests, and if he did not break through the Huguan, Cao Cao naturally would not give up Shouchun and Guangling.

"Now that Jizhou is in the midst of a war, if the Marquis of Jin leads the troops to attack the Marquis of Ye, aren't you afraid that the Marquis will attack Hangu Pass and seize Chang'an?"

Hearing the threat in Cao Cao's words, Li Su said with a straight face: "If the Marquis of Shanyang thinks so, there is nothing to say below, and the soldiers under the command of the Marquis of Jin are never afraid of war. ”

Seeing Cao Cao's gaze, Xun Yu coughed lightly and said, "I heard that the craftsman workshop under the rule of the Marquis of Jin is good at crafting blade weapons, and there is a thunderbolt that can reach a range of five hundred steps?" ”

"He is a civil official, and he is not in charge of the craftsman's workshop." Li Su said lightly.

In Bingzhou, as long as it involves the craftsman's workshop, it is a major matter, and Lu Bu's control of the craftsman's workshop is extremely strict, otherwise it is impossible for the princes to find out the news in the craftsman's workshop for so many years, which is also the topographical restriction of the craftsman's workshop, with Baibo Valley as a backing, it is not easy to find out the specific situation of the craftsman's workshop.

When Cao Cao heard this, he was slightly disappointed in his heart, if he could get this kind of thunderbolt building method, he would have a greater chance of winning when attacking Jingzhou, as long as he got Jingzhou's naval army, it means that he can attack Jiangdong, then his strength will become the head of the princes, with Jiangdong, Jingzhou plus Yanzhou, Yuzhou's heritage, the speed of development will definitely exceed Lu Bu, as for Liu Bei of Yizhou was also temporarily ignored by Cao Cao At this point, Cao Cao and Lu Bu have a common understanding, because of Yizhou and lose more things, Pay for one's whistle.

"In this way, the Marquis of Jin is not willing to give anything, so he wants to form an alliance with Benhou so easily?" There was some unhappiness in Cao Cao's tone.

Li Su said with a smile: "As expected, the Marquis of Shanyang must have ideas about the land of Jingzhou, and now even if Liu Bei leads the land of Jingzhou, Jingzhou is empty, with the ability of the Marquis of Shanyang, it is not a difficult thing to control Jingzhou, after the Marquis of Shanyang captures Jingzhou, he can also take advantage of the situation, so that the Marquis of Shanyang has taken a big advantage." ”
