It's like if there are too many demolitions, you will definitely run into nail households, and our deputy director Tao also made a mistake in preventing Uncle Liu Huang from sitting big, that is, he should not have used a fast horse to send the warning letter directly to Xuchang and handed it to Boss Cao, but chose to hand over the letter to Wang Ze, the envoy of Cao Jun, and let Wang Ze take back Xuchang to Boss Cao.

Uncle Liu Huang, who had been suppressed by Deputy Director Tao and Cao Boss for many years, also obviously began to transfer, when Wang Ze returned to Xuchang slowly on the road with a letter, Deputy Director Tao began to attack Cao Boss's other hand - Yuan Tan Gongzi suddenly led 10,000 troops into Mount Tai, and attacked the main force south to the empty Cao army Lu Qian on the northern line, and also won the Win County soldiers in one fell swoop, and beat the Taishan Taishou Lu Qian appointed by Cao Boss to beat him dizzy, and he couldn't understand what he had done to hurt the heavens and reason. How did you provoke Tao Yuan's two armies to join forces in the north and south to attack this poor county of Taishan under their rule?

Because I don't know if Yuan Tan's move came from the instructions of the Great Yuan Sangong, the envoy who went to contact and communicate with the Great Yuan Sangong has not yet heard back, and the Cao Boss, who has offended the Great Yuan Sangong many times before, does not dare to slack off, so he can only quickly arrange the main force to the front line of Baima, Yanjin and Guandu to prevent accidents, and then there is to send an envoy to contact Yuan Tan Gongzi, who was quite friendly with the self-army before, and carefully inquire about the intention of Yuan Tan Gongzi's move, and at the same time, the defense and control of the Nanyang area have naturally been seriously weakened - so God bless the emperor.

Of course, it is not without a chance, at least when Wang Ze brought Deputy Director Tao's reply and reply to Xuchang, there was still no movement on Nanyang's side, and when Wang told Boss Cao about Deputy Director Tao's reply of Yuan Sangong, Boss Cao laughed on the spot, applauded and said: "Okay, you Tao Ying is a thief, you obviously don't want to be cheap with me Yuan Shao, and you have the face to say that it is all based on Yuan Benchu's good obedience, and sure enough, Yuan Benchu has your son-in-law, and you will regret it in the future." ”

Smile and smile, and then when Wang presented Deputy Director Tao's reply to Boss Cao, Boss Cao opened it again and only glanced at it, but the happy smile suddenly froze on his black face, and his eyes also showed a look of horror. And Xun Yu, Guo Jia and other strategists who could count all over the world after reading the vernacular of Deputy Director Tao in the letter, their faces also changed greatly, and their faces were hesitant, but they didn't dare to speak casually.

After a long time, Mao Jue, who was only a second-rate strategist under Boss Cao, hesitated and said, "Lord, this shouldn't be Tao Ying's divisive trick to destroy the thief, right?" Got rid of his mortal enemy Liu Bei by the hand of the lord, and also made the lord known as a virtuous? ”

When he said this, Mao Jue's voice and tone were not firm, and he seemed not very sure of his judgment. As soon as Mao Jue's words came out, he was immediately opposed by Xun Yu and Guo Jia, "It may not be big!" With the ability of a pottery thief, if you want to separate the lord and Liu Xuande, you will never use such a rough and direct means, this is not the usual insidious style of pottery thieves. ”

"Dare to ask the prime minister, is there any news about Liu Xuande recently?" Cheng Yu, who had been instigating Boss Cao to take action first to kill Uncle Liu Huang, opened his mouth and asked very cautiously.

"This ......." Boss Cao, who was busy with official business, couldn't think of it for a while, but the lord Bo Sima Lang on the side reminded: "The prime minister may have forgotten that ten days ago, General Zilian came to write a letter, saying that Liu Bei had recruited a new wise man as an assistant in Jianyang, and asked the prime minister how to deal with it, but the prime minister didn't care, so he didn't reply. ”

"Come to think of it, there was such a thing." Boss Cao patted his forehead and said: "Zilian seems to say that Liu Bei was very important after hiring the Magi, not only let him participate in the military aircraft, but also let the Magi help him train soldiers and horses. ”

"The prime minister was careless." Cheng Yu was a little nervous, and said: "There are many wise men in the nine counties of Jingxiang, and there are many geniuses in the world. ”

"Zhongde is thinking a lot, there are many famous people in the world who talk about it like a carp crossing the river, but the wise men and wizards are rare, Liu Xuande has such a good life? If you pick Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in vain, you can't pick up a genius in the world? ”

Boss Cao laughed confidently, and asked Sima Lang casually, "Boda, do you remember the name of the new wise man hired by Liu Bei?" ”

The details of the letter that I accidentally glanced at ten days ago, Sima Lang, who did not have the ability to remember it, naturally couldn't remember it, but after getting Boss Cao's permission to look through the letter archive, Sima Lang quickly said: "I found it, the surname is Fu, I heard that it is the name of Ying Shangren, and I don't know anything else." ”

It was enough, after hearing this name, Cheng Yu immediately jumped up, and exclaimed with a big change in his face: "Shan Fu?!" Yingchuan Shan Fu?! ”

"Zhong De knows about this Shan Fu? How's that for it? Boss Cao asked in surprise.

Cheng Yu's face became strange, and he hesitated for a moment before bowing his hand to Boss Cao, and said with a wry smile: "Prime Minister Chrysostom Yuyan, this time he is right again, Liu Xuande is lucky again, this Mr. Shan Fu is actually surnamed Xu Mingshu and Yuan Zhi, and he is ten times more than Shengyu, at least not under Mr. Wenruo and Mr. Fengxiao." ”

Cheng Yu is by no means a person who likes to overdo his reputation, this Boss Cao knows very well, so after being stunned, Boss Cao also jumped up immediately, and ordered without hesitation, "Send a book to Liu Bei immediately, just say that Tao Ying annihilated the thieves and soldiers in Yanzhou, I want to personally conquer Xuzhou, and recall him to Xuchang to follow the army, and the defense of Jianyang will be replaced by Cao Hong's deputy." ”

"The lord has a great plan, Liu Xuande hates the pottery thief to the bone, and he also covets the five counties of Xuzhou for a long time, so he will follow the army to cut down the pottery, and he will be ordered to return to the north." Xun Yu applauded and suggested: "However, for the sake of prudence, the lord still ordered General Cao Hong to prepare secretly, and once Liu Bei refused to accept the order to return to the north, he could be killed immediately!" ”

"It's best to lure Liu Bei into Wancheng and issue this order in Wancheng." Cheng Yu added: "If Liu Bei refuses to receive the order and kills him in Wancheng City, it can prevent Liu Bei from supporting the army and causing chaos." ”

Boss Cao was very satisfied when he heard this, and immediately acted according to the plan, first asked Sima Lang to induce Uncle Liu Huang to return to Xuchang, and then issued a secret order to Cao Hong, asking Cao Hong to lure Uncle Liu Huang into Wancheng first and then pass the order, if Uncle Liu Huang refused to receive the order, he could be killed on the spot during the banquet, and at the same time make secret preparations to extinguish Liu Beijun's rebellion to prevent everything.

After making these arrangements, when Sima Lang put pen to paper, Boss Cao picked up Deputy Director Tao's letter again, read it over and over again, frowning and thinking hard, as if the 20 or so words of vernacular on the letter contained mysteries, and there was only one question carefully calculated in his heart, "I have joined forces with Tao thieves to fight against the world's heroes, is it possible?" ”

……………… Boss Cao's arrangement is not thoughtful, it stands to reason that it is difficult for our Uncle Liu Huang to escape justice, but Boss Cao, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others seriously underestimated Uncle Liu's new accomplice Xu Danfu, so Boss Cao soon paid the tragic price of blood and tears, and our Deputy Director Tao was also so tired that he was shot while lying down, and the dream of nagging the danger in the bud was completely ruined.

It is estimated that friends are not much interested in the details of Uncle Liu's great exposition, so let's briefly introduce the process, in fact, the process is also very simple - Cao Hong lured Uncle Liu Huang into Wancheng to announce Boss Cao's order, although Uncle Liu Huang was very strange how Boss Cao decided to transfer himself back to Xuchang soon after he put himself in Nanyang, but considering that he was in the enemy camp and could not mess around, he pretended to be happy and expressed his willingness to return to Xuchang to follow Boss Cao's southern expedition to Xuzhou, deceived Cao Hong to take it lightly, and then used the excuse to return to Jianyang to prepare for the trip, Handed over the defense with the car, and successfully avoided the first wave of killing and returned to the Thorn Sun Lair.

The next step is simpler, when Uncle Liu told Boss Cao's order to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Shan Fu and others, Shan Fu immediately laughed, and pointed out on the spot that Boss Cao never had the courage to start a full-scale war with the Xuzhou army that was on the rise, under the pretext of going south to Xuzhou to transfer Uncle Liu Huang back to Xuchang, but he just wanted to trick Uncle Liu Huang back to Xuchang and detain him, and never give the dangerous element Uncle Liu Huang a chance to show his strength, and also cited the example of the recent abnormal movement of Cao Hong's army to prove that his inference was correct.

Our Uncle Liu Huang's dissatisfaction with Boss Cao is well known, hearing Shan Fu's analysis, and thinking of Boss Cao's suppression and vigilance against himself, of course, he is angry to decide to turn his face with the ungrateful Boss Cao - but also took the opportunity to turn his face with Boss Cao, who was being attacked by Yuan Sangong and Deputy Director Tao, Shan Fu also took the opportunity to take out Liu Biao's letter of persuasion, and strongly persuaded Uncle Liu Huang to abandon the secret to Mingshe Cao Boss and vote for Liu Shoumen, in fact, he didn't want to give Uncle Liu Huang such a letter first, he pretended to be surprised, and then naturally he was with Shan Fu** , the hookup of the husband and silver woman became a fight.

And then it was almost a copy of history, when Che Zhou led an army to Jianyang to hand over the defense with Uncle Liu Huang, Guan Erye suddenly slapped his horse and rushed out, picked up the sixty-three-pound Qinglong Yanyue knife, and cut off the poor head of General Che Zhou with one knife, and then Uncle Liu Huang declared in public that Cao Thief deceived the monarch and pretended to be a Han Xiang, but he was actually a Han thief! The sin is more monstrous than reckless! And as the emperor's uncle, he should work hand in hand with Liu Shoumen, the emperor's pro-emperor, to fight against Cao Thief and help the Han family! - To be precise, that is, to get rid of the unkind and unrighteous Boss Cao, he did it alone!

The matter is not over, when the thunderous general Cao Hong personally mentioned the main force of Wancheng to quell the rebellion, Shan Fu offered a plan to let Liu Huangshu flee south by fraud, inducing Cao Hong to lead the army to pursue, Cao Hong also deceived Liu Huangshu's new rebellion for a while It is difficult to unite with Liu Biao and Zhang Ji, and decisively led the army to chase and kill Baili, who knew that Zhang Ji's army stationed in the southwest of Wancheng had already prepared, and suddenly sent troops to attack Wancheng, and Xiliang, who was forced to surrender to Cao's army in Wancheng, also took the opportunity to rebel and respond, resulting in the fall of Wancheng and the defeat of the defenders. Cao Hong's army after receiving the news was discolored, and when he hurriedly returned to the army to save Wancheng, Uncle Liu Huang suddenly counterattacked again, and joined forces with Zhang Ji to kill Cao Hong to a great defeat, and the poor General Cao Hong was forced to be helpless, and had to flee all the way back to Xuchang to cry and plead to Cao Laoda.

The important town of Wancheng that was finally taken was lost, and Uncle Liu Huang also rebelled under the prediction of Deputy Director Tao's crow's mouth, and Boss Cao just regretted that his intestines were useless, but the bad luck of Boss Cao, who was reciting words, was not over, but during this period, the envoys sent by Boss Cao to contact with Yuan Sangong and Yuan Tan Gongzi returned to Xuchang one after another, and all of them brought bad news to Boss Cao.

Yuan Tan Gongzi replied to his attack on Taishan County that he was angry for his father, taught Cao Boss the crime of betraying the alliance and attacking Zhang Ji, the younger brother of the Great Yuan Sangong, and asked Cao Boss to ask the Great Yuan Sangong for guilt - and also asked Cao Boss to hand over Taishan County in knowledge and interest, so as not to hurt the previous peace.

The reply given by the third prince of the great Yuan was even more ruthless, not only scolding the self-deceptive explanation of Boss Cao, but also asking Boss Cao to withdraw from the land of Nanyang and apologize to his younger brother Zhang Ji, in addition to asking Boss Cao to hand over Emperor Han Xian and send Emperor Han Xian to the capital of Yecheng - otherwise, the Third Duke of Great Yuan will never give up the plan of attacking Boss Cao with his son-in-law in the north and south, and will never agree to order his son-in-law to withdraw from Yanzhou and no longer attack Boss Cao!

After listening to these two replies, Boss Cao was also completely dumbfounded, Liu Biao in the southwest, Zhang Ji and Uncle Liu Huang, Yuan Sangong in the northeast, Yuan Tan Gongzi in the northeast, and the deputy director of the southeast Tao, all of them have become their enemies, how can they be mixed up in the future? I can't figure out anything, why didn't it take much time for the five-way attack on the pottery that I had arranged before to become a six-way attack?

Fortunately, there are several reliable strategists under the command of Boss Cao, at least Xun Yu stood up and pointed out sharply: "Don't worry, my lord, although Yuan Shao's arrogance is arrogant and arrogant, his intention has always been to force our army to fight to the death with the pottery thief, so that our army and the pottery thief weaken each other, so that Yuan Shao can sit and reap the profits, the pottery thief is cunning and cunning ten times better than Yuan Shao, and he will definitely understand Yuan Shao's intentions and the danger of attacking our army, and once our army is destroyed, the pottery thief will be Yuan Shao's brunt, with the pottery thief's annihilation, Jia Xu's vision, Chen Deng's stability, will not ignore the consequences, so not only does the lord not have to worry about the safety of the southeast, but on the contrary, he can also try to make friends with the pottery thief, and free up his hands to eradicate other strong enemies. ”

Boss Cao did not immediately adopt Xun Yu's suggestion, but was as indecisive as Yuan Sangong, but this is also a helpless thing, Boss Cao's current situation is too bad, and if he is a little careless, he may be doomed, and at the same time, Deputy Director Tao's deceitful and vicious is also what Boss Cao has learned many times, Boss Cao really doesn't dare to guarantee that once he communicates with Deputy Director Tao and neglects to take precautions, Deputy Director Tao will not take advantage of the fire to rob when his rear is empty, so after hesitating again and again, Boss Cao still didn't accept Xun Yu's suggestion, and decided to endure for a while and wait for the turnaround.

……………… Boss Cao was still able to calm down and endure the situation in a very bad situation, and Deputy Director Tao, who was far better than Boss Cao, was a little unbreathable in Xuzhou, because during this period, Deputy Director Tao received an order from his father-in-law, Yuan Sangong, asking Deputy Director Tao to lead the main force to attack Yanzhou as soon as possible, and to respond to the opportunity that Yuan Tan had already invaded Taishan County - and because he was dissatisfied with Deputy Director Tao's perfunctory attitude of only sending a small force, Yuan Sangong's tone was unprecedentedly harsh. Then after receiving the news that Uncle Liu Huang had successfully betrayed Cao Ying with the help of Shan Fu, Deputy Director Tao's face was gloomy, and it was inevitable that he couldn't hold his breath.

"It can't go on like this." This is the psychological words of Deputy Director Tao to several henchmen and lackeys at the military intelligence meeting, "Cao thief was too seriously restrained by us, although Cao thief no longer has the courage to fully invade Xuzhou, but we are the same, our main force is still restrained in the northern line of Xuzhou, neither dare to take the initiative to attack Cao thief, nor dare to send troops south to take Jiangdong or west into Jingzhou, we have to find a way to break this deadlock of mutual checks and balances, let Cao thief, a fierce wolf dog, go out to bite people for us, and strive for a more favorable development situation for us." ”

"What the lord said is that we and Cao Thief restrain each other, although it doesn't cost too much money and food, but the ultimate beneficiary is always Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu." Chen Deng nodded and said: "Yuan Shao's strength is already the best in the world, if he is allowed to calmly remove Gongsun Zan and go south, then not only will Cao Zan's danger be dangerous, but our army will also face danger." ”

"Maybe we're more dangerous." Liu Ye said worriedly: "Yuan Shao urged the lord to lead the army into Yanzhou to fight a decisive battle with the Cao thief several times, although the lord is perfunctory every time, but once the time passes, Yuan Shao's resentment will inevitably accumulate and explode, and when his main force goes south, maybe he will drive the Cao thief to attack our army as a pawn - the Cao thief is unable to compete with Yuan Shao, in order to protect himself and open up a new rear, he is likely to be willing to serve as this pawn for Yuan Benchu." ”

"Isn't it just Yuan Shao who benefits?" Deputy Director Tao said lightly: "On the side of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Zhang Xian rebelled in Changsha, and the nine counties of Jingxiang rebelled against three at once, what a good opportunity, but we and Cao Thief couldn't reach out to fish in troubled waters because of each other's containment." There is also the big-eared thief Liu Bei, if this thief is allowed to develop a climate in Jingzhou, it will definitely be a bigger trouble than Cao thief in the future. ”

Hearing Deputy Director Tao's words, the resourceful Jia Lao Poison couldn't help but look at Liu Ye and Chen Deng, I really couldn't understand why Deputy Director Tao was so jealous of Uncle Liu, and Deputy Director Tao couldn't explain the reason to Jia Lao Poison and others, just playing with a Ling Arrow in his heart, after a long time, Deputy Director Tao suddenly broke the Ling Arrow in his hand, and said categorically: "It's time to talk to Cao Thief face to face, even if you offend Uncle Yue by truce with Cao Thief, it doesn't matter, anyway, if you continue to be perfunctory with him like this, Sooner or later, he will be offended to death, rather than wasting his strength to offend slowly, it is better to offend him to the end at once, and then find a way to slowly ease the relationship. ”

"The lord wants to meet with Cao Thief and discuss the reconciliation of the alliance in person?" Several of the advisors asked in surprise.

"Not bad." Deputy Director Tao nodded, thought about it again, and said: "Ask him to meet on the bank of the Mi Guoshui River in Qian County, Peiguo County, both sides only bring three hundred guards, which is his Cao thief's hometown, and it is also the border area between us and his territory, which is a good place to meet and talk secretly." ”

"Will the thief agree? Will there be doubts about our sincerity? Liu Ye was a little worried.

"It's okay, I've already prepared a petition for nomination, and with the shrewdness of Cao Thief, after seeing my petition, he will naturally understand my sincerity." Deputy Director Tao replied confidently.

"Vote? What is a Petition of Nomination? Jia Lao Poison and Chen Deng and the others were confused by Deputy Director Tao's fresh words again.

"It's a new term, I'll give it to you later." Deputy Director Tao shook his head, and then turned to Chen Ying next to him and ordered: "Yuan Fang, pick up the pen and write two letters, one is to ask Cao Thief and me to meet secretly on the bank of the Huan Guoshui River in Qian County, and you look at the polishing of the writing, and the other is the same as the previous one, directly write my vernacular dictation." ”

"No." Chen Ying agreed, picked up the brush and got ready.

"It's a bit long, I say slow." Deputy Director Tao said in a gloomy tone, and said slowly: "Liu Bei's strategist Shan Fu, pseudonym, real name Xu Shu, character Yuan Zhi, Yingchuan celebrity, filial piety, there is an old mother in the hall, if Cao Gong intends to use it, he may wish to earn his mother to Xuchang, and let him write a book to call his son, then Xu Shu will return to Cao Gong." If his mother does not obey, Cao Gong can also deceive his writing, imitate his handwriting, fake the family book and Xu Shu, deceive Xu Shu to Xuchang to be bound, and cut off Liu Bei's wings! ”

"By the way, this letter must not appear in words related to our Xuzhou, lest the Cao thief take it out and publicize it, and ruin my innocent reputation."
