Chapter 480 Jizhou Movements
But in any case, Liu Bei finally has a place where he can settle down. Regardless of the situation in Huainan, this can be regarded as a piece of territory. And as long as it is properly managed, Huainan still has a certain future for development.
With this idea, Liu Bei naturally regarded Huainan as his base camp. Moreover, Liu Bei is also inspirational, and wants Huainan to show his strength and work hard to make a name for himself.
However, although he won half of Huainan, Liu Bei's mood was still not happy. Huainan is not far from Yanzhou Xuzhou, in other words, not far from Cao Cao's territory. If Cao Cao wanted to attack himself, it would definitely be a no-brainer.
If it was just Cao Cao, Liu Bei was not very afraid. But Cao Cao still has Zhao Fei under him, and Zhao Fei has a different mood towards himself. Because in his own feelings, Zhao Fei wanted to put himself to death, if it wasn't for his cleverness and escape, I was afraid that he would have become Zhao Fei's ghost under the knife.
Therefore, if Zhao Fei learned that he had such a place to live in Huainan, would Zhao Fei raise troops to attack. Liu Bei was somewhat apprehensive about this, after all, Zhao Fei hated himself very much, and it was easy for him to attack him.
However, after capturing Huainan for so long, Liu Bei did not find any moves by the Cao army in Yanzhou. And the more Cao Jun was like this, the more worried Liu Bei's mood became. The unknown danger is the most frightening, after all, there is no way to defend against this unknown fear.
After being terrified for a long time, Liu Bei finally settled down. He didn't have much strength, and it couldn't be easier for Cao Jun to attack him. Moreover, with Zhao Fei's ability, if he wanted to attack himself, even if he defended himself, he would not be able to defeat the powerful Cao Army.
But it didn't take long for Liu Bei to hear the news from Xuchang. After Zhao Fei's class returned to the court, he fell off his horse in Xuchang City and fainted.
Hearing the news, Liu Bei was overjoyed and surprised. Shockedly, Zhao Fei fell from his horse and fell into a coma, almost dying. Fortunately, after Zhao Fei fell into a coma, his threat was much smaller. After all, Zhao Fei is the tiger wolf in Cao Jun, and losing him has a huge impact on Cao Jun.
The time when Zhao Fei was seriously ill was the most comforting time for Liu Bei. There is no way, after all, Zhao Fei is his own confidant, and Cao Jun, who has Zhao Fei here, is too dangerous to himself.
But soon after, Liu Bei learned that Zhao Fei had been cured. Moreover, not long after Zhao Fei was cured, he made a big move in Xuchang City. Zhao Fei built a medical center in Xuchang, which made Liu Bei somewhat puzzled.
The medical clinic built by Zhao Fei was extremely beneficial to the people, and he openly promised that any citizen would be free of charge for medical treatment. And Zhao Fei's actions made Cao Jun famous in the world. Even when he was in Huainan, he heard the people talking about Cao Jun, and they were all positive remarks.
As for Zhao Fei's approach, Liu Bei also wants to follow suit. Now Huainan is very depressed, if his reputation can be comparable to Cao Jun, then he will not worry that Huainan will not be prosperous. It's easy to say, but it's even harder to do.
You know, how much money does it cost to see a doctor for the people for free? With his own ability and Huainan's taxes at this moment, how can he be comparable to Cao Jun. For many months, Liu Bei could only think about this kind of thought, he really didn't have the ability to follow Zhao Fei's approach.
However, since Zhao Fei is busy with so many things, he will not come to his own trouble. In this regard, Liu Bei felt a lot of comfort in his heart. Taking advantage of this time, he can develop in Huainan steadily, as long as his strength is sufficient, he no longer has to worry about Cao Jun.
As long as he can fight Cao Jun again, with his wit and the bravery of his two sworn brothers, he can still fight Cao Jun.
When Liu Bei was thinking about living a comfortable and stable life, Zhao Fei was thinking about how to calculate Liu Bei in Xuchang. Now that he knew where Liu Bei was, Zhao Fei naturally wanted to make some trouble for Liu Bei. After all, Zhao Fei didn't want Liu Bei to develop steadily.
But his own people are in Xuchang, and Liu Bei is in Huainan. The two places are far apart, so what can I do to make Liu Bei some trouble.
If he applied to Cao Cao to attack Huainan, then Cao Cao would definitely not agree to him. And let others lead the troops to the battle, it is estimated that Cao Cao will not agree. After all, Liu Bei is burdened with the name of the emperor's uncle, and if he rashly attacks Liu Bei, of course he will be tongued. These are extraordinary times, and I must not do anything unusual.
Because of his own existence, history has changed somewhat. After taking Xuzhou Yanzhou, Cao's army can be described as unprecedentedly powerful. Since there was no defeat of Wancheng, and Xu Huang did not regain it, this greatly increased the strength of Cao Jun.
Under such a premise, Cao Jun naturally became a thorn in the side of others. Especially Yuan Shao in Jizhou, naturally regarded Cao Jun as a fierce enemy.
After Cao Jun took Xuzhou, it was obvious where he would attack next. Moreover, after Yuan Shao unifies the four northern states, Yuan Shao will naturally go south to fight Cao Cao to the death.
Instead of letting Yuan Shu come to him menacingly, then Cao Jun would naturally take advantage of Yuan Shao's lack of time to look south and make complete preparations. And it was Cao Jun's preparation that made Yuan Shao worried.
For Yuan Shao, now is also an extremely critical moment. The war with Gongsun Chan has entered a dire situation, and most of his troops are hoarded in the north to fight a decisive battle with Gongsun Chan, if at this time, Cao Cao gives himself a knife in the back, it will really hurt his muscles and bones.
Just talking about Cao Jun's strength, even if he is overwhelmed by his own troops, he is afraid that he will not be able to take any advantage, not to mention that Cao Jun wants to sneak attack him.
Being beaten passively is much weaker than being aggressive. However, the two-front battle is definitely a bit difficult for Yuan Shao, so even though Yuan Shao is very wary of Cao Cao, from his heart, he does not plan to start it with Cao Cao.
Since he can't start with Cao Cao, he can only negotiate peace with Cao Jun. This is also a way out of the way, even if Yuan Shao doesn't want to, he can only make this decision.
However, Yuan Shao also had a calculation for a long time, and the current peace negotiation is just a delaying tactic. As long as Cao Cao is stabilized, then after he takes down Gongsun Zan and dominates the four states, he will have the ability to fight Cao Cao.
Now that the situation is weak, Yuan Shao needs to have enough sincerity if he wants to negotiate peace. As for the issue of sincerity, it really made Yuan Shao worried.
Cao Cao is such a shrewd person, and Cao Cao's staff are also smart people, especially Zhao Fei beside him, who is a difficult master to deal with. With the existence of this master and servant, if he doesn't bleed, then there is absolutely no way to achieve his own ideas.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao had a headache. He didn't feel like he had lost too much, and he hoped that Cao Jun would be able to comfort him when he attacked Gongsun Zhan.
Things need to be faced after all, no matter how worried Yuan Shao is, he must order someone to solve it. So after thinking about it, Yuan Shao still planned to send an envoy to Xuchang to visit Cao Cao, and then discuss the matter of peace between the two families.
On this day, Yuan Shao convened his ministers to discuss who to send to Xuchang to discuss the alliance with Cao Jun.
In the hall, the master and servant sat down. Looking at his team, Yuan Shao was still a little ambitious. He has a lot of soldiers, if it weren't for the fetters of Gongsun Zhan, how would he bow to that Cao Apu.
"Lord, now that Cao Cao of Yanzhou is stationing troops south of the Yellow River, he is eyeing my Jizhou, if I don't prepare in advance, I'm really afraid that Cao Cao will take advantage of the danger of others and sneak attack my Jizhou." Tian Feng stepped forward and said.
Everyone turned their heads to look at Tian Feng, and at this time, another person next to Tian Feng stepped forward and said: "What Yuan Hao said is true, now Cao Jun's soldiers are full of food, and Cao Cao has taken Xuzhou for a long time, presumably Cao Jun still operates Yanzhou and Xuzhou like an iron bucket." ”
"Moreover, looking around Cao Cao, there seems to be no enemy comparable to him, except for the lord who can suppress Cao Cao, the rest of the forces have Cao Cao's opponents. And our army went to be fetters by Gongsun Zhan, and the heavy troops were hoarded in the north to fight a decisive battle with Gongsun Zhan, and the defense in the south was empty, if the Cao army sneak attacked, it would definitely not be able to prevent it. ”
When everyone heard the voice, it turned out to be another of Yuan Shao's strategists. And the frustrated words attracted the approval of many people.
"What a few people said is very true, I also think so, now I can only negotiate peace with Cao Jun, and make a plan to delay the army in turn, but Cao Jun has many talents, especially Tai Lieutenant Zhao Fei, who is a difficult guy, with this person, I am afraid that I will suffer." Yuan Shao said with a frown.
"Why does the lord need to grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige, even if that Zhao Fei is extremely powerful, I would like to meet for a while." Hearing Yuan Shu's words, the trial couldn't stand it, and hurriedly stepped forward to say to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao nodded, and then said, "If that's the case, then can Zhengnan go to Yanzhou and meet that Zhao Fei for a while?" ”
"Return to the lord, the minister is willing to go." The judge stepped forward and said. For Zhao Fei and Zhao Taiwei, he wanted to meet him. Zhao Fei's reputation and achievements are a model in everyone's hearts. And meeting Zhao Fei is definitely what many people want.
"My lord! Now that the war is imminent, and Zhengnan is the pillar of the army, he can't leave, so the minister is willing to go to Xuchang instead of Zhengnan to negotiate peace with Cao Jun. Frustration stepped forward and said.
Yuan Shao looked at the frustrated master, then looked at the trial again, and then turned his head and said: "What the note said is good, now our first task is to eliminate Gongsun Zhan, as long as we eliminate Gongsun Chan and take the four states of Jizhou, we will not be afraid of him Cao Cao." ”
"Moreover, now that Zhengnan is in charge of the military, it is indeed inappropriate to leave Jizhou at such an important moment and go to Yanzhou. Since Zezhu is willing to go, then let Zezhu replace Zhengnan and go to Yanzhou to discuss with Cao Jun. Yuan Shao commanded.
Fu Zhu stepped forward to receive the order, and then turned around and went down to prepare to send an envoy to Yanzhou.
