Cao Cao had a wooden box in his hand, which contained two bloody heads - Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Cao Cao followed Guo Jia's tricks to pacify Sun Kang, the prince of Liaodong in one fell swoop, and earned the head of the remnants of the Yuan family. Without him, when Cao Cao returned from his victory, Guo Jia would have hung up.

Cao Cao cautiously took out the heads of the Yuan brothers to defeat Guo Jia, and cried bitterly while holding the coffin: "Guo Gong is dying, he writes this by himself, Fang Ding Liaodong, I don't want to return from a big victory, I am separated from Fengxiao Tianren forever." It's a pity, the sky is going to mourn me, wow...... Woo. ”

remembered that since the fall of Xuchang, Cao Cao has gradually alienated Guo Jia, and today he feels the pain of worrying his heart. secretly hated his lack of care for Guo Jia for many years, so that the old disease recurred, and he enjoyed six Chinese New Year's Eve.

"The deceased is gone, and the prime minister's mourning has changed. At present, Liaodong has been flattened, and we have no worries. Cheng Yu persuaded.

"That's right, my rear is calm, now I can take my brothers to Chang'an to slap Lu Bu to vent his anger to the prime minister. I have to hit Lu Bu until he kneels and begs for mercy. Xu Chu shook his hands and shouted.

As soon as he heard that he could flatten Lu Bu, Cao Cao instantly walked out of his grief, his eyes glowing.

"Prime Minister, Lu Bu swept Xiliang, destroyed Ma Chao, Ping Hanzhong, is about to use troops in Yizhou, Tongguan has few soldiers, but this is not the time for a decisive battle with Lu Bu." Sima Yi saw that Cao Cao gritted his teeth with hatred for Lu Bu, and hurriedly persuaded him.

What kind of reasoning is this? Both civil and military forces did not understand what Sima Yi meant. Tongguan has few soldiers, isn't it the right time to take advantage of the void to attack Chang'an?

Sima Yi would not be untargeted, and Cao Cao asked in surprise: "What's the solution?" Please elaborate. ”

As a top strategist, of course, he doesn't take the usual path, otherwise how to highlight that he is better than others. Everyone thought that Chang'an should be attacked, but Sima Yi wanted to do the opposite: "In my opinion, not only did not raise troops to attack Lu Bu, but formed an alliance with Lu Bu, joined forces to sweep the north and south, and when the world was divided into two, the decisive battle in Luoyang decided the final fate of the world." With Lu Bu's conceit, he will gladly accept it. ”

"Okay, what a plan to kill two birds with one stone." Cao Cao's people, Sima Yi opened his mouth and dialed it out, and instantly came up with a plan to pacify the Kanto.

Sima Yi is right, even if Lu Bu falls into the quagmire of Yizhou, but the two sides are far away from the Qinling Mountains, once Cao Cao attacks Tongguan, Lu Bu can abandon Yizhou at any time and withdraw to defend. Once Lu Bu's army returns to Chang'an, no matter whether Cao Cao fights or not, Lu Bu will definitely pour his troops out of the pass to fight him to the death.

Cao Cao has a large area of terracotta under his command, which needs time to digest and develop, and Cao Cao does not want to start a decisive battle with Lu Bu now. Cao Cao's top priority should be to unify the Kwantung region and prevent Lü Bu from unifying Yizhou. Then the alliance of the two is on the table. If Lu Bu wants to unify Yizhou, he should be very happy to accept a temporary alliance.

And the alliance is built on trust, does Lu Bu trust him Cao Cao? The answer is no, then does Lu Bu dare to attack Yizhou with all his might? And there are alliance factors, Lu Buhui will continue to pacify Yizhou with a trace of luck, but he does not dare to attack Yizhou with all his might. In this way, Cao Cao achieved his goal, invisibly delaying the pace of Lu Bu's attack on Yizhou, and Cao Cao could still make every effort to pacify Guandong.

"It's just that in this way, it must arouse the vigilance of Liu Cousin Sun Quan." Cao Cao sighed.

"The prime minister is serious. There are many capable people in Jingzhou, how can they believe in the covenant between the prime minister and Lu Bu, the prime minister and Lu Bu are endless, and there is no possibility of giving up. If the prime minister and Lu Bu ally and then stationed troops in Wancheng and made a posture of attacking Jingzhou, Liu Biao must be more convinced that the prime minister wants to attack Lu Bu. This is called Ming Xiu plank road Mingdu Chen Cang. ”

After listening to Sima Yi's words, Cheng Yu and Xun You felt that they were old. Although Sima Yi is strong in words, he is unfathomable and unfathomable. It's just that for Liu Biao's strategy, unless someone with great talent under Liu Biao can see through Cao Cao's arrangement, Liu Biao will be tricked.

"Well, that's how it should be. Immediately arrange for someone to go to Chang'an to form an alliance. ”

――――――――――――

Jingnan, Liu Bei, who had just returned from a show of farming, heard that the envoy of Youzhou had visited.

On the way, Liu Bei sighed for a long time, am I easy? Nesting in the south of Jing facing the loess with his back to the sky, it is the unruly Lu Bu Cao Cao in the north who is mixed up, and he hits here today, and where he is fighting tomorrow, so it's not lively. Liu Bei can only witness the two bigwigs create one miracle after another as an audience, Liu Bei is forced to nest in Jingnan and can't expand, the north is Liu Biao, he just makes small moves in Jingnan, but he doesn't have the confidence to develop to the north and provoke Liu Biao. Liu Bei is bent on developing eastward, but Sun Quan's command is full of talents, and Liu Bei has failed to attack several times, and now he can only stare dryly, crying out in vain.

Liu Bei was preoccupied and met Zhang Song, and when he heard Zhang Song's intentions, Liu Bei's heart turned up with monstrous anger: One or two really treat my brother as a thug, right?

"Liu Yizhou's experience, Bei is deeply sympathetic, but Bei is on the side of security, Jiangdong has been violating the border for many years, and self-protection is still insufficient, and it depends on Liu Jingzhou. Rescue Yizhou is powerless. Shame, shame. Liu Bei refused with a haha. He is now waiting for the big man in the north to go south to Jingzhou to clean up Liu Biao, Liu Bei is the one who wants to make up for the knife to capture Jingzhou at a critical moment, how can he be willing to be a thug for Liu Zhang and miss the opportunity to seize Jingzhou.

Although Liu Bei lacked interest in assisting Yizhou, he did not dislike Zhang Song as ugly and devoted himself to it.

In the past few days when Zhang Song went to Jingnan, he made a secret visit and found that Liu Bei was a man of great talent and strategy, who was not shocked by the humiliation, tasted courage on his back, and was as scheming as the sea, and governed the land of Jingnan in an orderly manner, with strong soldiers and strong horses. Compared with Liu Zhang, there is no comparison at all, Liu Zhang is not even worthy of lifting shoes for him.

Zhang Song realized that Liu Bei was a master worthy of assistance, but Liu Bei had no interest in Yizhou, so Zhang Song decided to throw the bait: "Uncle Huang doesn't know, my Yizhou is thousands of miles away, the grain and grass are abundant, and the land of Yizhou is good at raising soldiers." ”

Zhang Songdu said that he had this part, so he almost let Liu Bei replace him, but Liu Bei had his plan, if he couldn't replace Liu Zhang, and the army left Jingnan again, could this foothold surrounded by wolves still be kept? This time it was against Lu Bu, who was a soldier general, and when he thought of Lu Bu, Liu Bei had no confidence. Lu Bu, who fled to Xuzhou back then, beat him to the point of eating human flesh as military food with a group of remnants of the defeated generals, and when he had a choice, Liu Bei was really unwilling to resist the strong Lu Bu with weakness.

"Lord, what Zhang Ziqiao said is reasonable. The name of the lord is all over the world, and if he is not saved, it will damage his reputation. Chen Deng tried to suppress the excitement in his heart and instigated. Finally, he is going to fight against Lu Bu again, and he can finally avenge the hatred of the clan.

"But without Liu Yizhou's request for help, the division is unknown, how dare you lead the army to help in the war? In case of unnecessary misunderstanding, wouldn't the world laugh at my wolf ambition? ”

"Mr. Zhuge asks to see you."

Just when Liu Bei couldn't make up his mind, Zhuge Liang came.

Liu Bei welcomed Zhuge Liang to the back hall, retreated left and right, and the two discussed in a low voice. After a while, Liu Bei returned to the lobby and promised Zhang Song: "I will lead the army to set off on the same day to rescue Yizhou." Yide listened to the order and led you to lead 3,000 soldiers as the pioneer of pathfinders, prepare the middle army, and Zilong will send grain and grass. Yun Chang stayed in Jingnan. Yun Chang, Jiangdong is always eyeing me Jingnan, remember not to be arrogant, and underestimate the heroes of the world. ”

Zhang Song hurriedly got up and said: "Uncle Huang has mercy, I am already grateful for saving me from water and fire, how dare I bother Uncle Huang to bring his own grain and grass, and the matter of grain and grass is on my body." ”

Zhuge Liang stood outside the hall, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to encourage Liu Bei to march into Yizhou. It is his hard work over the years to take Yizhou into a strong position, and seeing that he is about to be stirred up by Lu Bu, Zhuge Liang can't sit still. When Liu Bei asked Guan Yu to guard the rear, Zhuge Liang's lips moved slightly, and he sighed secretly: Guan Yu is too arrogant, and he looks down on the heroes in the world, which is the way to die.

"Uncle Huang, I recommend one person below, who can assist General Guan to stick to Jingnan, and it is foolproof." Zhuge Liang finally said that he was unwilling to serve Liu Bei, because the current Liu Bei could not see the hope of victory, and the time and place were favorable. Lu Bu in Guanzhong pays attention to the people's livelihood and the people's aspirations, and has lost the support of the family but has a mass base, while Liu Bei only grasps the false name and does not do practical things, wandering between the family and the people, trying to catch both, and in the end neither is reliable.

"Why don't you stay in Jingnan and assist General Guan in defending the city?" Chen Deng said.

"My fiancée Huang Yueying heard that she was in Hanzhong, and I had to go and welcome her back." Zhuge Liang refused directly, he hadn't thought about whether to serve Liu Bei and follow Liu Bei to play with his life? He wants to see for himself the viability of the strategic plan he has planned.

"I don't know who Mr. wants to recommend?" Liu Bei always wanted Zhuge Liang to recognize the master, but Zhuge refused every time on the grounds that he had already served under him. Effectiveness and recognition of the Lord are not a thing, effectiveness can be seen as serving the court, and it can also be understood that the effectiveness of him Liu Bei. But recognizing the Lord is different, recognizing the Lord means that from now on only serve him Liu Bei.

"Pang Tong."

After the banquet, Zhang Song was drunk, Liu Bei sent Zhao Yun to drive for him, Guan Yu to clean his room, and flattered him wave after wave.

――――――――――――――

Lu Bu didn't know about Jingnan's affairs, and Lu Bu knew that Liu Bei would come to intervene with him with the advantage of being a traverser, and he was ready to deal with Liu Bei. The only thing that made Lu Bu uncomfortable was the person in front of him and the letter in his hand.

The person in front of him was Chen Qun, who had run errands for Cao Cao several times to form an alliance, and the letter in his hand was, of course, also a matter for Cao Cao to form an alliance.

Lu Bu couldn't understand what Cao Cao meant, did he want to mislead Lu Bu with this, so that he would do his best to deal with Liu Zhang, and Cao Cao then took Lu Bu's nest away? Or something else. The strategists also quarreled and expressed their opinions. Most people believe that Cao Cao wanted to use the alliance to let Lü Bu attack Yizhou with peace of mind, and Cao Cao then attacked Lü Bu's rear. There are also some strategists who think that it is really as Cao Cao said, and Cao Cao does not want to annoy Lu Bu to fight for two hundred injuries, so that other princes can take the opportunity to sit big.

Lu Bu, who had the final decision, didn't know what to do. Cao Cao doesn't want to lose both? At that time, Cao Cao's forces were far inferior to Yuan Shao, and he dared to argue with Yuan Shao, and was defeated. When Chang'an's current strength is far less than Yuan Shao's strongest, what is Cao Cao afraid of!

I don't want to lose both, and it's not impossible to worry that other princes will sit big, for example, didn't Lu Bu grow stronger during the battle of Yuan Cao Guandu? Therefore, Lu Bu's thinking returned to the original point, and he couldn't distinguish Cao Cao's true intentions.
