Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Before the situation was clear, Liu Biao didn't dare to show too deep hostility towards Liu Yi lightly.! Because, Liu Biao also saw that Liu Yi's current general trend has been achieved, if Dong Zhuo can't defeat Liu Yi, then Liu Yi's power will be greater.
Most of the famous families in Jingzhou oppose raising troops to attack Liu Yi, so he can't insist on attacking Liu Yi with Zhang Wen, Cai Mao and other families, that will inevitably cause Liu Biao to have a rift with most of the famous families in Jingzhou, if he gets the support of most of the famous families in Jingzhou, he, the lord of Jingzhou, will almost do it.
In fact, Liu Biao was also a little worried, if Liu Yi defeated Dong Zhuo and survived the attack by Cao Cao and other princes of the world, then would Liu Yi hate him for the economic blockade of Dongting Lake Xinzhou? At that time, it will not be a matter for him Liu Biao to attack Liu Yi, but to think about how to deal with Liu Yi's retaliation.
When Liu Yi was going to join Sun Jian and raise troops to attack Dong Zhuo, Liu Biao never thought that Liu Yi would take Luoyang from Dong Zhuo's hands, and in any case, he never imagined that Liu Yi would set up a new Han court in Luoyang, let alone that Liu Yi's strength would develop so quickly. He Liu Biao has a Jingzhou, and after his development, he now only has a hundred thousand sailors, and another two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses. He thought that his development was already fast, but he really didn't expect Liu Yi's development to be so amazing.
Not only Liu Yi, but also Yuan Shao in the north and Cao Cao in the Central Plains, he didn't expect them to develop so fast. This also makes Liu Biaoxiàn have hundreds of thousands of troops, and he does not have the slightest intention of being complacent, because he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in name, but in fact, most of them are controlled by local famous families. This also made Liu Biaoxi sit a little like pins and needles, worried that Liu Yi would settle accounts in the future.
If Liu Biao had thought that Liu Yi's development would be so fast, he would definitely not have launched a so-called economic blockade on Dongting Lake Xinzhou.
Now, he can only hold a mentality of making amends, on the surface. Make an attitude of showing favor to Liu Yi and wait for the result of Liu Yi's battle with Dong Zhuo.
If Dong Zhuo can defeat Liu Yi, then it is easy to say, but in case Dong Zhuo loses. He also wants to have a little détente with Liu Yi, at least, everyone is allowed to talk about it in the future.
Liu Yi learned about Liu Biao's actions from the information collected by Xun Yu, and he could probably guess Liu Biao's thoughts.
After listening to Xun Yu's report, Liu Yi nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that Liu Biao will not use our troops anymore." He seems to have completely controlled Jingzhou, but in many respects, he is still subject to the local famous and wealthy families. In this way, we don't have to worry about the threat from the south of Luoyang. However, we have to let Qin Jie in Wancheng be more careful, in the south, it is not just Liu Biao, but also. It is also possible for him to enter Wancheng from Yangzhou and Runan. On the surface, Liu Biao will not use troops against us. But you can't be careless, beware that he will have a secret collusion with Yuan Shu, and let Yuan Shu's army come to Wancheng. ”
"Lord, we should be able to rest assured that Yuan Shu should not use troops against us now." Xun Yu took out a letter from his bosom and said to Liu Yi before taking it to the throne: "Originally, Cao Cao forged the imperial edict to call on the people of the world to crusade against us. Even if he did not lead his army to join Cao Cao, he sent messengers to show support. ”
"I know these things, and this Yuan Shu also plans to raise troops. But it was thunder and rain, and he never really led the army to join Cao Cao. Liu Yi nodded to indicate that he had known this information, and as he spoke, he took the letter handed over by Xun Yu, and said with a little doubt: "This letter is ......."
"Huh. Yuan Shu sent someone to send it, the letter meant that he planned to form an alliance with us, but we were willing to assist him in sending troops to attack Cao Cao, he was willing to leave behind the previous festival with the lord, and in the future, everyone was like a family, and said that as long as Cao Cao was defeated, he would occupy Yanzhou, and in the future he would send troops to help us capture Liu Biao's Jingzhou. Xun Yu pursed his lips disdainfully: "The letter also threatened that if we don't ally with him, he will send troops to form an alliance with Cao Cao to attack us, which is really naïve!" ”
"Haha......"
In the court, many people laughed dumbly when they heard Xun Yu's words, and felt that Yuan Shu was sometimes really a little naïve. He thought that Liu Yi was Gongsun Zhan, and he was Yuan Shao? Any so-called secret letter can provoke Gongsun Zan to send troops to attack Han Fu in Jizhou. He thought that Liu Yi would also be like Gongsun Zhan, sending troops to Cao Cao, and then he would be able to benefit from it?
Liu Yi is not Gongsun Zhan, and his Yuan Shu is not Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and not the original Jizhou Han Fu. Besides, the letter wants to form an alliance with others, but it is still threatening, to be honest, people read this letter, and it is his fate to not attack him without troops, and he still wants to form an alliance with others?
Liu Yi also smiled, stopped reading the letter, and said, "Yuan Shu is now very loud and scared." ”
"Yes, Yuan Shu is indeed afraid." Xun Yu continued: "Although Yuan Shu has a lot of soldiers and a wide range of food now, compared to Cao Cao and Yuan Shaolai, he is nothing, and even Tao Qian, who is really going to attack Xuzhou with a large army now, may not be able to capture it." Yuan Shu is just empty of its appearance, and it is not enough to worry. ”
Chen Qun also knows a lot of things, and now he is also responsible for helping Xun Yu sort out some information, and he also knows a lot about Yuan Shu's affairs, and he also said with a smile: "Yuan Shu is actually a talentless villain. Originally, they Yuan four and three dukes, protégés all over the world, if he has a little insight, or also has a lot to do, but this person is not atmospheric enough, and extremely extravagant and absurd, I heard, now in order to speed up the development of strength, the rule of the surname into the tyrannical expropriation, Yangzhou Jianghuai, originally a relatively wealthy area, but under the rule of Yuan Shao, the people in his jurisdiction, the people are not happy, there is actually a thing of people starving to death, he has a lot of Mu IV and the name of the third prince and took refuge in Yuan Shu, They saw that Yuan Shu was not a talent that could be assisted, and many people left without resignation, and now, Yuan Shu was actually a little detached, and his development, so to speak, was only limited to this, and there would be no more achievements. ”
"The long article is good." Xun Yu said: "Originally, the brothers of the Yuan family, if they could work together, their Yuan family may not have a certain action, but Yuan Shu actually had a bad relationship with Yuan Shao because of a little grain and grass, and became enemies. As soon as Yuan Shu gained momentum, he got carried away. He who sinned against men to death. When Yuan Shao first won Jizhou, Yuan Shu also threatened Yuan Shao, and also wanted to send an army to attack Yuan Shao, so that both Yuan were enemies of the other. Brothers kill each other. Now, Yuan Shu saw that Yuan Shao's strength had grown, and even Cao Cao, who was good friends with Yuan Shao, had developed his strength to the same extent as his Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was afraid, and he was worried that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao would join forces to deal with him, so. At the beginning, he also said that he would join forces with Cao Cao to attack us, but now he has changed again, and wants to turn to an alliance with us Shao, and wants to use our hands to attack Cao Cao, so that Yuan Shao can be destroyed. ”
"Well, Yuan Shu is a villain, so don't worry. He's a grasshopper now, and he won't be able to jump for a few days, so don't worry about him. Wen Ruo wrote back to him on my behalf. I'm too lazy to deal with him either. Liu Yi handed the letter back to Xun Yu, turned his mind and said, "Perhaps, we can use him to contain Cao Cao, you see that it is done." ”
"Okay, Yuan Shu has no talent, but he is arrogant and domineering, and now he still has a little power for the time being, but once he loses power, he will inevitably be beaten by others." Xun Yu received the letter back and incorporated it into Huaineidao.
"Then let's not talk about Yuan Shu now." Liu Yi waved his hand and said, "How is Cao Cao now?" Did you really send troops? ”
"Cao Cao is still in the army. The posture is that he really wants to use troops against us, but I am a little, will Cao Cao really use troops against us now? Xun Yu seemed to be a little uncertain and said: "According to what I know about Cao Cao, he is resourceful. If you really want to do something, there should be many unexpected conspiracies, and anything will happen. At the beginning, issuing an edict to order the heroes of the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo seemed to be Cao Cao's impulsive move, but it was launched after Cao Cao's foresight. He got a lot of what he wanted. The most important thing is his reputation, his background is not very good, the family of eunuchs, people in the world have always had a lot of prejudice against him, but now, who in the world does not praise Cao Cao? ”
Xun Yu continued: "In addition to gaining fame and increasing Cao Cao's fame, Cao Cao also took the opportunity to develop, so that no one dared to despise him anymore. It was precisely because of his reputation that Bao Xin invited him to lead the army into Yanzhou, and he later got hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou soldiers, and his strength was expanded all of a sudden. ”
"That's right, Cao Cao launched a crusade against Dong Zhuo, in addition to us getting Luoyang, Cao Cao got more, this good reputation, so that Cao Cao will be of infinite use in the future, it is estimated that now many righteous people in the world have joined Cao Cao's account, right?" Liu Yi agreed with Xun Yu's view of Cao Cao, and in fact, Cao Cao's real excavation was precisely the fact that he issued a crusade against Dong Zhuojiao.
"But, my lord, have you ever thought that this time, Cao Cao suddenly issued the so-called Imperial Nitrogen Summons, calling on the princes of the world to attack us, do you think this matter is too sudden? Or, when it seems that Cao Cao didn't have any preparations, would it be too inappropriate to suddenly issue such a blood summons? Xun Yu's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "Lord, you can think about it, he Cao Cao has just obtained hundreds of thousands of Yellow Army thieves in Qingzhou, and he has just been recruited, and he has not completely undergone training, how can such an army have combat effectiveness?" Or, at this time, Cao Cao may not be able to completely control the army. There are more than 300,000 people, how many people did Cao Cao have? How could he control so many military horses at once? With these soldiers and horses, he dares to attack us at the rate? ”
"Huh? Wen Ruo, when you say this, I really think it's a little strange. Liu Yi really didn't think about this, and now after listening to Xun Yuyi, Liu Yi thought that Cao Cao forged such a blood summoning to attack himself this time, which seemed too sudden and too inappropriate. It stands to reason that with Cao Cao's character, it shouldn't be like this. But Cao Cao, if he wants to do this, what conspiracy will there be?
In fact, there are still too many doubts in it, all of which point to Cao Cao not being so rash to send out the imperial nitrogen summons to attack him again.
What Xun Yu said is only one of them. Cao Cao only got hundreds of thousands of new military horses, and he really shouldn't have been in such a hurry to lead these military horses to fight with him. Now, not to mention that Cao Cao wants to lead these hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou soldiers to fight against him, it is difficult to say whether Cao Cao has military rations to feed hundreds of thousands of military horses.
In addition, Cao Cao made a name for himself by crusading against Dong Zhuo, and it can be said that he and Dong Zhuo have formed an undying enmity. Liu Yi attacked Dong Zhuo, he should support it, even if Liu Yi refused his help, he shouldn't drag Liu Yi back at this time. It's just so weird. He was not afraid of dragging Liu Yi back at this time, so that Liu Yi and Dong Zhuo were defeated in the battle. And then he will be burdened with an infamy that will be shamed by the world? What was the reason for him to send out a blood call to crusade against Liu Yi regardless of Qiqiē?
Liu Yi really hadn't thought about these before.
Then there is the imperial court controlled by Dong Zhuo. He wants to denounce, and the new Han court controlled by Liu Yi also wants to denounce, so what does he Cao Cao want to do? Dong Zhuo, everyone in the world knows that he is a traitor, and everyone applauds him. However, Liu Yi is in the people. has always had a very good reputation, and it is not something that can be discredited by Cao Cao's fake imperial summons. At most, it only makes people in the world suspicious, and everyone is bound to deny Liu Yi's reputation. It is impossible to have a situation like the crusade against Dong Zhuo, where the heroes of the world come together to attack. Cao Cao couldn't have imagined this, but he still launched a blood summoning. Why is that? Cao Cao did this, what conspiracy was there?
"Lord," Xun Yu said, "in the next period of time." I've been thinking about Cao Cao's blood summons to attack us at this time. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong. ”
"Oh? What's wrong? Let's talk about it. Liu Yi saw that Xun Wenruo had already seen something wrong, and he didn't want to worry too much, so he said quickly.
"First of all, according to our intelligence, Cao Cao should not be able to conduct a large-scale war now, when the heroes of the world did not respond to him, he will not really use troops against us, with the strength of his family, he will only be like when the world's heroes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and he will only confront us at Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass. However, where did Cao Cao's military rations come from? He cannot afford to fight a protracted war against us. ”
"That's right, with this, we can rule out the threat that Cao Cao gave us." Leo Yi nodded.
"Secondly, this is not the same time as it used to be, now. The princes of the world have dug up, whether it is strength or power, each prince is much stronger than when he attacked Dong Zhuo a year ago. Right now, who doesn't want to take the opportunity to develop their strength? Who would casually raise an army for no reason? Xun Wenruo said: "It can be seen that Cao Cao's attack on us is fake. ”
"I also agree with Brother Wen Ruo's statement." Guo Jia didn't know when he came to the court, and he came out from among the officials and said: "My lord, Feng Xiao feels that this is Cao Cao's conspiracy, and he issued a blood call at this time, and the purpose of it must be to provoke a war among the princes of the world under the pretext, and then he took the opportunity to vigorously develop his own power." ”
"Hehe, Brother Guo Jia also thought of it?" Xun Wenruo glanced back at Guo Jia and said to Liu Yi with a smile: "My thoughts are similar to Brother Guo's. We analyzed it and found that Cao Cao's development seems to be a little backward compared to us, with the Yuan family brothers, and even Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, Tao Qian in Xuzhou, and even Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Kong Rong in Beihai. Needless to say, the brothers of the Yuan family are blessed, they are blessed, they raise their arms, and everyone in the world obeys, and others, long before Cao Cao wants to crusade against Dong Zhuo, they already have a certain strength, and Cao Cao lost his troops in the battle against Dong Zhuo, so that his strength after that battle, did not rise but fell, far behind us who won Luoyang. Not to mention Yuan Shao, who won Jizhou. ”
"Under such circumstances, Cao Cao has just obtained hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou soldiers, which made him see the opportunity to rapidly develop and expand his strength, but time waits for no one, hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou thieves, when will he Cao Cao be able to transform into a regular army? Therefore, a certain felt that Cao Cao launched the blood summoning at this time to change the water in the pond and delay the development speed of the princes of the world, so that he could catch up. Xun Wenruo analyzed with blazing eyes.
"Yes, Cao Cao's plan is really wonderful." Guo Jia couldn't help but clapped his hands and said: "I have long suspected that Cao Cao launched a pseudo-emperor nitrogen summon to denounce what kind of conspiracy we will have, until recently, I vaguely understood that his blood summons is really poisonous." ”
"Well, fortunately, we didn't have a plan, and the heroes of the world didn't have a plan, otherwise, if we fight the heroes in one day, he Cao Cao would be able to benefit from it." Xun Wenruo and Guo Jia, you say a word, I say a word.
There are still many court officials in the court, but they haven't understood yet, like Yang Biao, he can't help but say: "Hey, two gentlemen, what is the magic of Cao Cao's puppet emperor's nitrogen summoning this time?" ”
"Huh. There's a lot more to it about. Xun Wenruo said: "Cao Cao's most lacking is time, if the world's heroes really plan, raise troops to attack us, then, it means that we have to fight with the world's heroes, invisibly, it means that we and the world's heroes have stopped developing, therefore, and let Cao Cao take the opportunity to get closer to us, the best, we and the world's heroes are a lose-loser, then, he Cao Cao will be dominant in the end." There are many wonderful points in it, and it is really difficult to explain for a while. ”……)
