South of Shouchun City, in the camp of Liu Xiu

Liu Xiu looked at the battle report before Cao Ying in his hand today: Cao Cao lost more than 5,000 soldiers, several generals, and even lost his nephew Cao Anmin, which can be said to be the party with the greatest loss; followed by Sun Ce, Lu Bu and others, who also lost nearly a thousand soldiers and horses they brought with them; As for Liu Bei, who only had more than a thousand soldiers and horses, he was naturally lost;

Only Liu Xiu brought the most elite troops under his command, although they also lost some, but they were the lightest

Liu Xiu nodded his head proudly, and asked Liu Bowen casually: "Berwen, do you say that if we do this, will it be too sharp?" Causing unnecessary trouble? ”

When Liu Bowen heard this, he smiled confidently and asked, "What kind of trouble does the lord think will cause him?" ”

Liu Xiu listened to Liu Bowen's question, but he was stunned: "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it!" It is true that revealing the edge often causes unnecessary trouble, but for him at present, what kind of trouble will it cause, he really has not analyzed it in detail, so he said a little confused: "I just think that the trouble must be not small, but I have never thought about it carefully!" ”

Liu Bowen smiled again: "The lord is now in charge of the land of the five counties, and all internal and external affairs mainly come from five places, which are within the land and the four directions of the land!" ”

"Not to mention the governance of the land, just say that the lord governs the Quartet, the western Shuzhong is Liu Zhang, don't care, the southern Jiaozhou is the rear of the lord, whether the lord is hiding the front or not, it is to be solved; The enemies in the north mainly come from the clans in Jingzhou that support the two princes, but now the lord has been able to completely separate from Jingbei and become autonomous, so the lord does not need to consider Jingbei for the time being; The only thing to worry about is Sun Ce in Yangzhou, but judging from Cao Cao's matchmaking in the afternoon, Sun Ce also feels that it is too much waste of time and energy to be an enemy of the lord now, and it is better to go north and use soldiers! ”

Liu Bowen slowly analyzed, and listed Liu Xiu's current hostile people one by one: "Therefore, if the lord is now in the Central Plains and other places, he may need to restrain himself, but now that the lord is in Jingnan, even if he is too sharp, how much enemy can he provoke?!" ”

"On the contrary, the lord can gain a lot of benefits from doing this today!"

"Lots of benefits?" Liu Xiu listened to Liu Bowen's analysis silently, and said in surprise: "In addition to fame, what else do you gain?!" ”

"Naturally!" Liu Bowen shook the feather fan and continued to analyze: "What the lord is doing today, some people will see the lord's ability to convince the heroes; Others will see the fierce edge of the lord's competitiveness; There are also those who see the pros and cons and the purpose of the lord's actions! ”

"However, no matter how you look at what the Lord has done today, it is not an evil thing for the Lord today!"

Therefore, in short, what the lord does today can not provoke a strong enemy, but also become famous all over the world, show the enemy weakness, and enter the eyes of most poor scholars! Killing several birds with one stone, this trip is enough to harvest like this! ”

After Liu Bowen's careful analysis, Liu Xiu understood that the purpose of his trip had basically been achieved, and the rest was to get more benefits; As for conquering the city, forget it, if he really occupies Lujiang County and Jiujiang County, not to mention whether he can match his current strength and other aspects, such a long front is enough for him to drink a big pot!

So Liu Xiu shouted lightly: "Okay! Now that I'm thinking about it, I'll just have to wait and see what happens, right?! ”

"That's right, my lord is wise!" Liu Bowen smiled with a smile

At the same time, Liu Xiu analyzed his gains, and the rest were also busy

Liu Bei, there are no strategists under his command, and he has lost nearly a thousand soldiers and horses today, so what he can do is to hold his two brothers and complain

Lu Bu, at this time, Chen Gong under his command also pulled him and discussed with several generals under his command

"Mr. Gongtai, Mr. Gongtai, why are you in such a hurry, you must discuss it at this time?!" Lu Bu respected Chen Gong's resourcefulness very much, but he always felt that he was too stubborn and too worried

"Fengxian, we are now in Xuzhou, surrounded by enemies, all Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce and other generations, which are extremely difficult to deal with; And you have also seen Liu Xiuzhi's ability today, maybe we can ally with it and restrain Sun Ce in the south?! If we really want to act like this, we should naturally do it as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that this will change! Chen Gong persuaded Lu Bu bitterly.

Lu Bu didn't care, but said: "Since this is the case, then this matter will be handed over to Mr. to handle!" General Ben went to rest first! ”

"Hey" Chen Gong couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

Sun Ce, at this time, he was naturally also discussing with Zhou Yu

"Gong Jin, you said that Liu Xiu is so powerful today, can he have a plan?!"

"Bo Fu doesn't need to worry about this, no matter what Liu Xiu wants, we just need to guard against Yu Zhang, but it is the marriage that Cao Cao said today, Bo Fu can be considered?!"

"Gongjin, you want me to marry my little sister to Liu Xiu?!" Sun Ce said in surprise.

"The little sister has always had a very high vision, and Liu Xiu's good martial arts must have entered the eyes of the little sister; What's more, Liu Xiu has not yet married a wife, and the little sister is set to be the main room when she marries, so it is very beneficial to the little sister, or you and me; Moreover, now that we have decided to develop to the north temporarily, wouldn't it be right to stabilize Liu Xiu with the method of marriage?! Zhou Yu analyzed, and he was also calculating in his heart.

"But it is reasonable, what if Liu Xiu refuses?!"

"With Cao Cao and the Holy Decree to help, and then add a fire, Liu Xiu is afraid that he will have to nod!"

"It's okay, although Liu Xiu is my great enemy, he is also a young hero, and he will not treat my little sister badly"

Compared with the relaxed negotiation and planning with everyone, the atmosphere in Cao Ying's camp was heavy

In today's battle, Cao Cao not only lost his nephew, but also lost more than 5,000 soldiers

And for such a big loss, Cao Cao couldn't blame it on Liu Xiu and the others, and all he could do was naturally secretly annoyed

Thinking of this, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said: "Although today's loss can only be blamed on Yuan Shu's ruthlessness, why is it that only I, Cao Cao, have lost so many soldiers, and Liu Xiu and Sun Ce have only lost some soldiers, when has my Cao Cao suffered such a big loss!" ”

Cao Cao looked like a man in a rage, and he frightened many guards in the tent like a chilling cicada;

And the strategists under Cao Cao also frowned and pondered: Today they have suffered heavy losses unconsciously, and they can't blame others, such a mistake, but how can they not reflect on themselves;

After a few moments, the strategists began to come up with ideas
