Cao Cao knew Liu Bei very well, and because he loved Liu Guan and Zhang's talents, he rejected Xun Yu's proposal to kill Liu Bei several times.

Even now, Cao Cao has illusions about Liu Guanzhang and the others in his heart, but he understands that it is impossible.

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked at the several strategists present, and asked: "Now the saint is temporarily living in Puyang, if our army sends troops to attack Liu Bei, he will be framed for rebellion, and I can't afford to bear the crime, so I must not do it."

However, if you don't send troops to fight and let it develop, you will be my great enemy sooner or later, as Gongda said. ”

The two points that Cao Cao just said have already been thought of in everyone's hearts, but the current situation is indeed a bit tricky and difficult to deal with.

At this time, Xi Zhicai smiled slightly and said: "If the lord wants to break this situation, he needs to act together with one internal and one external!" ”

After hearing this, Cao Cao was puzzled and asked out loud: "What is the plan of the gentleman to say that one inside and one outside?" ”

The others didn't quite understand, and turned their heads to look at Xi Zhicai, only Xun Yu smiled and seemed to guess the reason.

Xi Zhicai thought for a while, and then said carefully: "Although Liu Bei is temporarily living in Puyang with the saint, there will be those who are dissatisfied with him among the hundred officials.

The lord can secretly contact these ministers, so that they can speak in front of the saint and sow discord, and it will be difficult to deal with Liu Bei as a person.

Although Liu Bei has military power in his hands, he has no courage to cherish his reputation.

With my degree, Liu Bei will be unbearable in the end, and lead the troops away, this is a plan to mess up! ”

Cao Cao clapped his hands suddenly after hearing this, and praised loudly: "This plan harms people invisibly, and it is really a clever plan, but I don't know what about the external plan?" ”

Xi Zhicai continued: "Although the lord cannot attack Puyang for the time being, he must not sit still, you must know that the princes compete for hegemony, like a boat in the water, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

Now Ru Ying Si Li and even part of Yuzhou are borderless land, the lord can send troops to take it as the foundation, at the same time Chen Bing Dingtao, Chen Liu, Xiuwu, so that Liu Bei can not expand, then he can only be trapped in Puyang, sooner or later due to lack of food and chaos, this is trapped outside also! ”

"Shhhh......h

After Cao Cao listened to Xi Zhicai's internal and external plans, he suddenly gasped and sighed: "Fortunately, Mr. is the person under my account, otherwise a certain An can sleep soundly?" ”

Everyone also admired the strategy of the drama talent, and they all praised it.

Cao Cao did not dare to delay, and immediately ordered Manzhong to sneak into Puyang in disguise, secretly contact the ministers who were dissatisfied with Liu Bei, and wait for an opportunity to sow discord in front of the saint.

Because it is now a cold winter, Cao Cao's repeated campaigns are tired of soldiers, and there is a lack of food and grass, so he has not used troops to Ruying Sili and other places for the time being, and only waits for the spring of the next year to bloom and attack in a big way.

……

In Beihai, Ko Yi led a group of civil and military personnel to stand in front of the city gate, looking at the gradually clear team in the distance and feeling satisfied.

In order to express the importance of his attention and convey to the world that he has nothing to do with his background, he decided to go out of the city to greet him in person.

At this time, He Yi also saw a crowd of people standing at the city gate from a distance, and said to He Man beside him: "The figure at the city gate is longing, could it be that General Koji personally greets him?" ”

He Man carefully identified the sun with his hand, shook his head and replied: "General Koji is a dignified saint who is the general of Zhendong Qingzhou, and he will greet the two of us when they go out of the city, if something is expected, the people at the city gate should be Beihai officials!" ”

He Yi also felt justified after hearing this, shook his head and sighed: "After all, the two of us are the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, and they are spurned by the world. ”

Chen Dao, who was riding a horse and following behind the two, listened to the conversation between the two, and said loudly: "The two of you should not be discouraged, I guess that the person at the city gate will be the general of Koji!" ”

He Yi and He Man looked back at Chen Zhi at the same time after listening, the three of them walked all the way, and they were already familiar with each other, He Man immediately asked, "Why is Uncle Zhi so sure?" ”

Chen Zhi smiled slightly and said: "Although I have never seen General Koji, I know a lot about his deeds, his people are eclectic, magnanimous and elegant, and they are also benevolent and righteous. ”

He Yi He Man was overjoyed when he heard Chen Zhi's analysis, and only heard He Yi say: "If General Koji really comes to the city gate to greet him, a certain He Yi is willing to lead the horse to fall in return from now on!" ”

He Man also said: "If this is the case, I would like to be smeared with my liver and brain!" ”

Chen Zhi looked at He Yi and He Man's expectant eyes looking at the city gate, shook his head with a smile, and thought in his heart: "If it weren't for General Zhiji being so polite and virtuous, how could I be willing to follow it, the eldest husband was born in troubled times, and he should assist the Ming Lord and make meritorious contributions, so this life is worthwhile!" ”

Koji Yi looked at the team that was getting closer and closer, and said to Guan Hai behind him: "You can introduce it in a while!" ”

Guan Hai understood that Lu Yi was referring to Chen Dao, and immediately replied: "The last general will take the order!" ”

After a while, the long procession finally arrived, and He Yi He Man, who was riding on the horse, looked at the Liyi who was like the stars holding the moon, and the momentum of the superior on Liyi's body, and guessed his identity at a glance.

The two of them couldn't believe that Koji Yi really went out of the city to greet him in person, and they were so moved that they immediately jumped off their horses and ran quickly to Koji Yi and bowed: "The last general, He Yi...... The last general, He Man, has seen General Koji! ”

Ko Yi looked at the two people who fell to the ground respectfully, helped them up with satisfaction, and praised in his mouth: "I often listen to the bravery of the two generals, and when I see them today, it is true, and today the two of them have to lead troops to vote, and I am fortunate to be in my army!" ”

After listening to this, the two glanced at Guan Hai gratefully, and He Yi said: "My brothers had to devote themselves to the Yellow Turban, although they did not do great evil, but they have not been compatible with the world. ”

Koji Yoshiki spoke again to reassure.

At this time, Chen Zhi also slowly approached, Guan Hai saw this, stepped forward and introduced to Lu Yi: "Lord, this person is what I said before, Chen to Chen Shuzhi, I heard that the lord is recruiting talents, and I am invited to come to join!" ”

Chen Zhi stepped in front of Koji Yi, and said respectfully: "The grass people Chen Dao, I have admired General Koji for a long time, and I had to meet General Guan before, and General Yan recruited talents, so I came from thousands of miles to vote with a thick face, and I hope that the general will not give up on it!" ”

Seeing that Chen Zhi was in strong shape, with a resolute face, and an expression on his face that was not impatient or impatient, he was even more satisfied, and helped him up with his own hands, and said: "I have heard that Uncle Chen of Runan is loyal and brave, and I am very happy, but I have no chance to meet. ”

Chen was praised by Kojiyi, moved in his heart, and secretly thought: "The Lord of True Benevolence and Wisdom is also in vain in this life!" ”
