Chapter 873 is a good thing for Cao Gong
Luoyang City is full of lights, and the news that Liu Wei is marrying the Xiongnu has spread far and wide, and even the people in the city have also received the news that the King of Qin is about to marry the princess again.
The merchants who gathered in Luoyang brought the news to various places, and soon, the surrounding counties knew that the king of Qin was about to marry the Xiongnu.
Xudu, which is not very far from Luoyang, got the news earlier than other regions.
Knowing that Liu Wei was about to marry the Xiongnu, Cao Cao immediately ordered that Guo Jia be invited to the study for discussion.
Guo Jia, who also knew that the King of Qin was about to marry the Xiongnu, already had the idea of meeting Cao Cao before Cao Cao asked him to summon him to discuss.
The two of them had the same idea, and the talent sent by Cao Cao told Guo Jia about the summons, and Guo Jia did not delay for a moment, hurriedly left the mansion, let people prepare carriages and horses, and went to Cao Cao's residence.
Cao Cao, who had been waiting in the study for a long time, stood with his hands behind his back and facing the window.
Standing by the window and seeing Guo Jia enter the back garden, Cao Cao didn't wait for Guo Jia to approach, he couldn't wait to trot out of the study and walk towards Guo Jia.
Seeing Cao Cao out of the study from a distance, he greeted him, and Guo Jia also quickened his pace.
"Bonghyo!" Before Guo Jia approached, without waiting for him to speak, Cao Cao had already greeted him first and said: "There is news from Luoyang that the King of Qin is about to marry the Xiongnu!" What does Bong Hyo think about this? β
"I'm afraid it's dangerous to go to humility!" Holding his fists and bowing, he first saluted Cao Cao, Guo Jia's face showed a trace of hesitation, and he thought for a moment before saying to Cao Cao: "The king of Qin marries the Xiongnu Juji, that is, he wants to tell the people of the world, the Hun Juji is his princess, so to beg for the second is to have a hatred of taking his wife with the King of Qin, how can the King of Qin tolerate him?" β
"What Feng Xiao said is exactly what he is worried about!" Guo Jiacai said Liu Wei's intentions, and Cao Cao nodded and said: "In this way, I am afraid that before the Xiongnu army goes south, the King of Qin will send troops and horses to crusade against the Xiongnu!" β
"If the King of Qin really sent troops to crusade against the Huns, it would be good!" The corners of his mouth pulled up a smile, Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Ming Gong and King Qin, now they are fighting each other, Xu Du is very close to Luoyang, once King Qin sends the army to the Xiongnu, Ming Gong can drive straight into Luoyang and take Luoyang as his own!" β
Although Guo Jia only made some simple analysis, Cao Cao slapped his forehead violently, and said suddenly: "If it weren't for Feng Xiao's pointing, I wouldn't know it!" In this way, the king of Qin crusaded against the humble, and other armies could not succeed? β
"Yuan Shao is preparing his troops and horses, and he may go south at any time!" Looking at each other with Cao Cao, Guo Jia showed a touch of contemplation on his face, and said to Cao Cao: "King Qin will definitely not use Hebei soldiers and horses!" He was afraid that he would let Gongsun Du of Liaodong send troops to crusade against the Huns! β
"That Gongsun Du doesn't have much friendship with so-and-so!" Guo Jia directly said the foreign aid that Liu Bianke might use to crusade against Beibei, Cao Cao shook his head and sighed and said to him: "And that Gongsun Du's position of Liaodong Assassin is canonized by the King of Qin himself, even if a certain messenger is sent, I am afraid that Gongsun Du will not pay attention to it!" β
Nodding, Guo Jia thought for a moment, then smiled at Cao Cao and said, "Ming Gong doesn't need to worry, in this way, it is a good thing for Ming Gong!" β
"A good thing?" Tilting his head to look at Guo Jia, Cao Cao said puzzledly: "If I go to Bei and be broken, I will have no foreign aid in Hetao, how can Feng Xiao say that it is a good thing!" β
There was already a plan in his heart, Guo Jia had a smile on his face that was very indifferent, and said to Cao Cao: "The king of Qin marries the Xiongnu, and our army feints to go to Xia Cai, and the king of Qin must have no time to deal with it." So what kind of person is Liu Bei? Earlier, he wanted to attach himself to King Qin, but King Qin gave him a cold face. After the edict, he also had no face to go to see His Majesty, knowing that the King of Qin would welcome his relatives, and he would definitely prepare a generous gift for people to congratulate! Taking advantage of Liu Bei's negligence, it was time for our army to seize Xuzhou! β
"According to Fengxiao's words, the king of Qin marries the Xiongnu, which is really a good thing for our army!" After Guo Jia finished talking about the strategy, Cao Cao struck each other with both hands, then stretched out his two hands, gently patted Guo Jia's shoulders and smiled: "In this way, this Xuzhou, so-and-so is it!" β
As Guo Jia expected, Luoyang City was preparing for the wedding of King Qin, and Liu Bei, who was far away in Xuzhou, got the news that he would be rescued by the Qin army when Xuzhou was attacked, so he hurriedly asked Mi Zhu to prepare gifts and go to Luoyang to congratulate.
In the council hall of Xuzhou City, Liu Bei sat on the main seat, and under him, sat a group of generals under his command.
Now Liu Bei, although he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, he knows that if he fights with Cao's army, these rabble under his command cannot be Cao Cao's opponent at all.
Knowing that Liu Wei was about to marry the Xiongnu, Liu Bei thought that this was an opportunity to get along with Liu Wei, so he hurriedly gathered everyone to discuss the preparation of congratulatory gifts.
"Envoy!" Liu Bei mentioned to everyone that he wanted to prepare a congratulatory gift for Liu Wei to marry Liu Nu, and Mi Zhu, who was appointed as the envoy, said to him with some hesitation: "The king of Qin is not as dependent on the envoy as His Majesty!" Between the envoy and the king of Qin, for the time being, it is only an alliance, even if there is no congratulatory gift, once Xuzhou is attacked by Cao Cao, the king of Qin will not sit on the sidelines if he wants to come! β
"What Zizhong said, I know!" Looking at Mi Zhu, Liu Bei nodded, sighed lightly and said: "King Qin and His Majesty are born in the same vein, and a certain is also a member of the Han family, but I don't know why, King Qin has always had concerns about a certain one!" If the world is stable and does not rely on the Han family, how can it rely on others? Although King Qin didn't know about this, he was about to marry the Xiongnu, but he had to prepare a generous gift! It's also a family friendship! β
Liu Bei's words were helpless, and everyone in the tent was also indignant.
I think that Liu Bei had shown favor to King Qin, but King Qin didn't even look at him at all.
LΓΌ Bu was surrounded by Cao's army in Xuzhou, and the king of Qin sent men and horses to the rescue.
But when Liu Bei was attacked by Cao's army, the Qin army retreated on all fronts, and there was no soldier left in Xuzhou at all, making it clear that Cao Cao wanted to occupy Xuzhou.
A few days ago, the King of Qin sent Jia Xu to come, and Liu Bei expected that Jia Xu was here to move the rescue troops to help the Qin army hold Shouchun.
On the one hand, it was because the King of Qin was not close to him, and on the other hand, he wanted to wait for the Cao army and the Qin army to fight each other, and then send troops to Shouchun to share a piece of the pie, Liu Bei deliberately avoided Jia Xu.
What he didn't expect was that the strong Qin army, in the Battle of Shouchun, was extremely disappointing.
The Cao army only suffered a lot of losses during the siege of the city, and in the field battles outside the city, the Cao army almost gave the Qin army a heavy blow with a one-sided advantage, so that the Qin army finally had to give up Shouchun.
Shouchun is still far away from Luoyang, but it is only a stone's throw away from Xuzhou. The loss of Shouchun is just a loss of a city for Liu Wei, but for Liu Bei, it is an unbearable pressure.
Cao's army occupied Shouchun and could use troops to Xuzhou at any time.
Now what can make Liu Bei still have some thoughts, one is that the Cao army will not attack Xuzhou, but chooses Xia Cai as the main movement of the troops, and the other is that the Cao army will use troops in Xuzhou, but the Qin army will inflict heavy losses on the Cao army in the back.
As long as it develops in these two directions, in Liu Bei's view, it is absolutely impossible for Xuzhou to be lost.
From Liu Bei's words, there was a little helplessness, everyone in the hall lowered their heads, and no one said more.
Everyone knows that Liu Xie, who is in Xu Du, is now just a puppet. Even if Liu Xie is not a puppet, I am afraid that Cao Cao will not crusade against Liu Bei, and Liu Xie will already send troops to Xuzhou to kill him.
If you want to gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou, Liu Bei can rely on it, I'm afraid that only Liu Wei is in Luoyang!
Seeing that everyone didn't say anything, Liu Bei sighed lightly, waved his hand at them with red circles in his eyes and said: "Don't say more if you wait, and now we can rely on those who can rely on it, one is to wait until Yuan Shao uses troops to Cao Cao, and the Yuan army is flanked by the north and south, attacking Cao Cao, and the other is to make friends with the King of Qin, when Xuzhou is attacked by the Cao army, the Qin army can attack the Cao army from behind!" In this way, Xuzhou can be safe! β
"Since the envoy has made up his mind, the subordinates will go to prepare a congratulatory gift!" Seeing that Liu Bei's eyes were red, Mi Zhu knew that he might be crying in front of everyone again, so in order not to listen to his howl like killing a pig, he hurriedly stood up and said a word with his fists.
Liu Bei nodded, didn't speak, just waved his hand at everyone.
Everyone stood up and exited the antechamber.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei walked side by side to the door of the front hall, and the two stopped again, glanced at each other, and turned back.
Returning to Liu Bei, Zhang Fei said to Liu Bei in a thick voice: "Big brother, what kind of battle has my brothers not gone through since the crusade against the Yellow Turban? If Cao Cao wants to send troops to Xuzhou, he and his second brother will protect the eldest brother and kill his mother! β
"Third brother!" Guan Yu turned back, he had something else to say, but he didn't expect Zhang Fei to say such a sentence as soon as he spoke, and hurriedly glanced at Zhang Fei.
Seeing Guan Yu's eyes, Zhang Fei pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Big brother!" Zhang Fei closed his mouth, Guan Yu took a step forward, arched his fists at Liu Bei, and said to Liu Bei: "King Qin is suddenly going to marry the Xiongnu Juji, and I feel that there is something strange in the meantime!" β
"It is natural for a man to marry a woman, what is the strange method?" Looking up at Guan Yu, Liu Bei asked in some surprise.
"Cao Jun only captured Shouchun, with the temperament of King Qin in the past, if he either sent troops to attack Xudu, he would take Shouchun and avenge the Qin army that died in Shouchun!" Putting down his hands, Guan Yu's red face also showed a trace of doubt, and said to Liu Bei: "King Qin didn't do this, but he suddenly wanted to marry the Xiongnu Juji, and he felt that there must be something deep in it!" Do you want to explore it and think about it? β
The matter of going to Bei to write a letter to Liu Wei to ask for Liu Nu has not yet spread, except for Cao Cao, who is secretly in charge, including Liu Bei and other heroes, they are still kept in the dark, so when Guan Yu said that he felt strange, Liu Bei was also at a loss.
