Chapter 19: Cao Cao's incomprehension
Hearing Xu Shu's words, Liu Bei looked sideways and asked:
"Actually, what? It doesn't hurt for the military advisor to be blunt. ”
Liu Bei will know about this matter sooner or later, anyway, now that the overall situation has been decided, it doesn't hurt to say it.
It was Xu Shu who said in a deep voice:
"Lord Qiqi, in fact, there is something that you have been hiding, that is, the question of Wolong's ownership......"
Hearing this, Liu Bei's eyes lit up.
Although Xu Shu made him very satisfied, he would never mind another famous Wolong.
After all, Liu Bei envied Cao Cao's strategist group, and it was not a day or two. It's a pity that Lao Liu has no land, except for those who are unhappy with Cao Cao, few defect to him.
Xu Shu sighed:
"The one who invited Wolong to go that day was Liu Qi's son."
Liu Bei: "......"
He was a little stunned at the moment, and even wondered if he had heard it wrong, so he hesitated and asked:
"What did the military advisor just say about Liu Qi?"
Xu Shu nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
The hall fell silent.
Liu Bei opened his mouth and muttered:
"It turned out to be Liu Qixian's nephew...... No wonder, no wonder, it all connected. It must be because of this Wolong that the situation in Xiangyang has produced such a big variable. ”
In everyone's eyes, Liu Qi is a mud that can't support the wall.
Xu Shu just glanced at it.
They naturally didn't think that Liu Qi was the key factor that determined the accident in Xiangyang, and their eyes were focused on Zhuge Liang.
All kinds of thoughts emerged, and Liu Bei sighed:
"Such a genius, why not use it for the sake of it?"
Xu Shu was inevitably embarrassed.
But he also knew what Liu Bei meant, not that he disliked himself. It's just that whoever knows about this matter can't help but sigh, after all, the opportunity was in front of him at the beginning.
Zhang Fei was more discerning, and shouted loudly:
"What does the eldest brother want to do so much, is the military advisor not as good as that moth Wolong Zhuge Liang? If the eldest brother wants Xiangyang, I and the second brother can take Zilong and grab it back. ”
Hearing this, Liu Bei's face suddenly turned cold, and he shouted:
"Third brother, don't talk nonsense, the matter of Xiangyang has nothing to do with us, as for the military division, it is naturally not inferior to Wolong, being a brother is just emotional, and has no other meaning."
Xu Shu hurriedly said:
"The lord and General Yide don't have to be like this, now that the changes in Jingzhou are not necessarily a bad thing for us, at least Liu Qi and the main bus are good, and they don't have to be subject to Cai Mao and others."
Liu Bei nodded slowly.
At this point, it's useless to think more.
Can you snatch Wolong away again?
In this era, loyalty is very important, and if you turn your back on the Lord and seek glory, few will end well.
Although Liu Bei has also been with several forces, his situation is actually different. Because he is a warlord himself, he is a cooperative under the fence, not a little brother.
and disloyal and unrighteous people, just like Sima Yi pointed to Luoshui and swore an oath, and the result was treacherous.
Completely reduced to the shame of the scholars.
Therefore, it is not so easy to poach people for no reason.
Anyway, now with Xu Shu's help, Liu Bei believes that with his own team, his achievements will not be too bad in the future.
Without mentioning this matter, Liu Bei suddenly asked:
"Military advisor, count the days, that letter should have arrived in Xuchang, I don't know what Cao Cao will think?"
……
The changes in Xiangyang City have a lot to do with it.
Jingzhou's geographical location is critical, and Liu Biao is a powerful prince, even Cao Cao does not dare to ignore it.
The news here soon spread to Xuchang.
Today's Cao Cao has leveled Wuhuan, and Zhang Liao White Wolf Mountain has become famous in a battle and has attracted the attention of the world.
Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Cao Cao, who was short and dark-skinned, was sitting here.
In front of him was the strategist Cheng Yu.
In the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, the team of strategists under his command was only Yuan Shao who could compare with Cao Cao.
It's a pity that although there are many Yuan Shao's strategists, they can't hear the correct answer and often choose the wrong option. It is to be the most powerful princes, reduced to a ridiculous backdrop.
The strategy of letting Cao Cao use Xu's mother to earn Xu Shu was proposed by Cheng Yu, and at this moment, news was sent.
It turned out to be a letter sent by Xu Shu.
Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu and asked quite calmly:
"Zhongde, what do you think about this?"
The content of the letter is simple, it is Liu Qi who reminded him that day, and he has retold it to Cao Cao at this moment.
Cheng Yu looked at it carefully, and his expression was slightly solemn:
"This matter is ill-considered by his subordinates, Xu's mother has a strong personality, if Xu Yuanzhi really comes, most of them will die in Yinzhi."
Of course, Cao Cao can also be white.
He went on to say:
"This Xu Yuanzhi is so bold, now that his mother is in Xuchang, he doesn't want to abandon Liu Bei and leave, and he even wants to send his mother to Xinye, what does Zhongde say?"
After thinking about it, Cheng Yu said seriously:
"The subordinate strategy has been seen through by Xu Shu, and in order to protect his mother's life, even if Xu Shu has the heart of filial piety, he does not dare to come to Xuchang, and this matter may be difficult to achieve.
For today's plan, it is better to follow Xu Yuanzhi's words, or in the name of the prime minister's benevolence and righteousness, it can also be regarded as giving Xu Yuanzhi a face, and in the future, he will inevitably have mustard under Liu Bei. ”
Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning.
However, what Cheng Yu said is indeed quite reasonable, he is keeping Xu's mother now, except for spending money to raise it, it is useless at all, and it is impossible for him to kill it directly.
When the time comes, Xu Shu is determined to take revenge, but it will be even more troublesome.
After considering the pros and cons, Cao Cao already wanted to be white, which was not a big deal. If it weren't for Cao Cao's heart to cherish talents, he wouldn't have asked an old woman at all.
Although Cao Thief is a good young woman, he is not a good old woman.
He looked at Cheng Yu and nodded:
"Well, since you can't calculate Xu Yuanzhi, you can send Xu's mother there, it's useless to keep it.
You can arrange this matter. ”
Cheng Yu said yes.
At this moment, someone quickly came in and reported:
"Prime Minister Qi, there is news from Jingzhou."
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised, in his opinion, although Liu Biao occupied the land of Jingzhou, he did not have the ambition to be enterprising at all, and only wanted to be peaceful and worry-free for a while.
Such a person must be a dead end.
And according to the news that Cao Cao knows, Liu Biao's body is now deteriorating, and he can't last long.
And now, Cao Cao is also sharpening his knife.
As soon as the time comes, he can send troops to Jingzhou and advance towards his plan to dominate the world.
After hearing the news from Jingzhou, Cao Cao did not dare to slack off, and beckoned:
"What's the news?"
The person who came respectfully handed it over:
"There are big changes in Xiangyang City."
Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he was even more eager.
When he carefully checked the information, Cao Cao's expression suddenly became stunned, and he was full of doubt:
"Liu Jingsheng established Liu Qi as the prince, why is this so?"
Although Liu Qi is the eldest son, as far as Cao Cao knows, the situation in Jingzhou is somewhat complicated, and Cai Mao and other Jingzhou clans control the power, even if Liu Biao is the pastor of Jingzhou, there are many constraints.
How did all of a sudden, the situation change so much?
What's going on?
It was like a cloud of suspicion, blocking Cao Cao's sight.
