The wind in Yanzhou changed, blowing a salty smell with a bloody smell.

When Liu Bei and Cao Cao met, it can be said that they were enemies, and they were very red-eyed.

The biggest trauma to Liu Bei so far was when Cao Cao suddenly attacked his army.

Since that time, the two have completely broken up, and neither has sent a letter of state since the establishment of their respective kingdoms.

Liu Beice immediately stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Cao thief, I'm afraid you didn't expect that the widow would be able to lead the army to appear in front of you so soon."

The old enmity will be avenged to you today! ”

Cao Cao smiled a little indifferently: "The soldiers are not tired of cheating, it is Liu Xuande who is too stupid, and if the widow uses a little trick, you will lose the army and lose the general, it is really no wonder that the widow is outnumbered."

Now that you have resorted to the plan of encircling Wei to save Zhao, have you ever thought that the widows would come to meet you in two ways?

Let me let you know now how big the gap is between you and the widows! ”

The soldiers of the Wei State all shouted in unison, the sound was like thunder, and the cavalry in the army was not much, but the swords and guns were like a forest, the armor was distinct, and they were lined up in rows, as if covering the sky and the sun.

In Liu Bei's military camp, Liu Bei's face was a little ugly.

Luo Qi coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, Cao Cao today is completely different from when he attacked Yuan Shao.

He seized the most fertile piece of land in Wei County, and Hedong and Hanoi completely fell to him, and Cao Cao in the Three Rivers region was owned.

If he dares to risk the disapproval of the world, he can even move the capital to Luoyang! ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he felt that his teeth were about to be crushed.

That's Luoyang!

With a history of more than 1,300 years since the beginning of Bang Zhou, Luoyang has been the capital of the world for nearly a thousand years, and it is the crown of the Later Han Dynasty!

If it is occupied by Cao Cao, a rebellious minister and thief, wouldn't it be ......

Liu Ye frowned and said, "Your Majesty, although Cao Thief led the main force to come, our army is brave and brave.

The four generals of Guan Zhang and Zhao Taishi are all top generals who are not born in the world, and they have the courage of ten thousand people.

Don't be afraid of Cao Jun!

Especially the Cao army fought on two fronts, as long as our army dragged the Cao army here, he would definitely take care of one and lose the other.

Cao Thief's current rule is entirely dependent on a powerful army.

He found an excuse to kill the ministers and scholars close to the Han family, but he couldn't stop the mouths of the people of the world.

There are many people in the court who oppose him, and this is what he can't kill.

Once he is dragged here, these problems, both internal and external, will explode and destroy everything he has. ”

Everyone nodded approvingly.

Military force is the backbone of everything, but in some cases it is not so crucial.

A power that can stand up to the whole world may be wiped out without losing a single ounce of the army.

A country that on the surface does not seem to perish at all could fall into unprecedented humiliation because of the emperor's hasty surrender.

War is a continuation of politics, and military goals are guided by political goals, which is a theory that overrides all military theories.

If Cao Wei was born into internal discord and fell into a frenzied infighting, then the combat effectiveness of Cao Wei's army would be greatly weakened, and it would even be completely defeated in foreign wars.

The destruction of the Shandong states by the Qin State was not so much a military victory as a political victory, and almost all of those powerful opponents were solved by non-military means.

Then what happened in Zhao Guozhong came to Liu Beijunzhong.

Immediately, everyone fell silent, even Lozzy was a little confused.

I never expected the boomerang to hit me so quickly.

There was no problem in Wei yet, but there was a problem in Zhao first, and the political changes did affect Zhao's military.

It's all right, but it's a pity that the person who fulfilled it was wrong.

According to the calculations of Luo Qi and others, after Yecheng was broken, it was the best time to attack.

Because the Wei army will definitely not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and will definitely attack in a big way.

The Wei army will completely leave the mainland, and the pressure on the grain road will increase in an instant.

At this time, if Liu Bei attacks the Wei army again, the Wei army will fall into the dilemma of fighting back against Liu Bei or continuing to attack the Zhao state.

Although the city of Zhao Guoye is broken, it is no problem to hold the Wei army for a long time with its strength, and Handan City alone can hold on for a year and a half.

Yuan Tan, the king of Zhao, and his ministers had a strong will to resist and would not negotiate peace with Cao Cao.

Such a long time is enough for the state of Chu to completely recover, and then the army enters.

All the plans are perfect, this should be Liu Bei's lore against Cao Cao, at least to make Cao Cao lose his troops and lose his generals, and he can no longer get involved in Hebei.

I never expected it.

A little transparent Queen Mother Liu and Yuan Shang, who is like a pig and a dog, can actually destroy the strategy designed by Luo Qi and others.

Liu Bei's hands were a little shaky, and he even felt at this moment whether God was really helping Cao Cao, and why all good things could hit Cao Cao.

Several crises allowed Cao Cao to get out safely because of sudden changes.

This kind of monstrous luck made Liu Bei hate it so much, why was it so difficult to win Cao Cao once?

Liu Bei took a few deep breaths, he wanted to completely calm down the agitated mood, took three deep breaths in a row, he failed, and roared loudly directly: "A thief who rebels against the lord, a thief like Cao Cao!"

If I were the lord of Jizhou, I would kill all the disloyal and unrighteous people in Jizhou, which is really hateful.

Ladies and gentlemen, what should we do now?

This Cao Jun ......"

Cao Jun is really incapable of fighting now.

A trace of unwillingness flashed in Luo Qi's eyes, and he coughed heavily twice, this battle was a battle he was preparing to win for Liu Bei in southern Hebei.

He wanted to push the state of Chu forward before he died, but now that it has become such an ending, how can he be willing?

But what if you are not reconciled?

Lozzi's character is steady, and he rarely does those risky things.

His first reaction was to retreat, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to grit his teeth and say, "Ziqi, is it possible for our army to fight Cao Cao?" ”

Luo Qi and everyone heard it, Liu Bei didn't want to leave!

He had suffered too many losses from Cao Cao, and he really wanted to fight back.

Regarding Liu Bei's choice, everyone didn't even think it was strange.

This is Liu Bei's character, even though he is now a prince and king, he is still full of that ranger spirit.

Among the kings in this world, only Cao Cao has the most royal appearance.

But if you want to stay, of course not!

Guan Yu squinted slightly, and suddenly opened his eyes and said: "King, Guan Yu is willing to be the vanguard, in Cao Cao's camp, only Dian Wei and Xu Chu have some courage, and the rest of the people are all people who sell their heads, and the ministers are willing to rush out of the battle to take their heads and return." ”

Zhang Fei shouted: "King, I'm the same, poke them out of dozens of holes, even Xu Chu will stab him to death." ”

Zhao Yun didn't speak, just stood with his hands down, there was a tendency to sink into the abyss, Tai Shi Ci said excitedly: "The minister has a bow in his hand, whoever the king wants to die, the minister will kill whom!" ”

The four major generals of the Chu State have all expressed their attitudes.

Luo Qi and Liu Ye glanced at each other, they both had a little headache, these generals didn't care about other things as long as there was a battle.

The two of them were thinking about how to persuade Liu Bei, when they heard Liu Bei sigh and say, "Alas.

What the generals wanted, the widows knew.

But today is the widow willful, and the widow knows that he should not fight hard with the now powerful Cao Cao, and prepare to retreat.

It's another bad move.

Not again again! ”

Liu Bei, who wanted to fight Cao Cao to the death just now, changed his attitude in a short period of time, which made Luo Qi and Liu Ye a little curious.

The reason for this is actually quite simple.

Liu Bei was indeed unwilling in his heart, after all, he had such a big enmity with Cao Cao.

But seriously, Liu Bei is very cruel to himself, and he can bear it very well.

So there is no reason in my heart to support him and Cao Cao to fight to the death.

Those who agreed to fight him and Cao Cao were all military generals, and the two great thinkers of Chu State were embarrassed, and Liu Bei naturally knew what to do.

Liu Bei decided to retreat, but Luo Qi frowned instead, and said softly: "Just let Cao Cao get the land of Zhao State, and wait until a few years later, gain a firm foothold, and my Chu State will be in danger of destruction."

Although the establishment of the Zhao State was short, since Yuan Shao entered Hebei, the Yuan family has ruled for two generations, and the people's hearts have been attached, which is not something that Cao Cao can shake in a short time.

This time Cao Cao accepted the surrender of Zhao, then there will still be a large number of remnants of Zhao in Hebei, which is the inevitable outcome of accepting the surrender.

Now that Cao Cao has just entered the Zhao State, the relationship between them is complicated, and it will take a long time for him to master the hometown of the Zhao State.

That's our chance.

Great King, Cao Cao's attack on our army should not be too strong in the future, because he cannot have a big appetite enough to swallow the two states of Jizhou Zhongnan and Qingxu at the same time.

He'd just die that way.

The minister thought that although Zhao could no longer assist our army to make Cao Cao fight on two fronts, the plan could not be abandoned.

It is still necessary to sever the relationship between Wei and the Han family, and still to find a powerful enemy for Wei, so that he will not be able to do anything, and even let Cao Cao continue to lose blood, and finally drag him down. ”

A formidable enemy?

Liu Bei guessed a few people.

Luo Qi said slowly: "Sizhou is too chaotic, and the princes are constantly fighting, especially in the Central Plains.

If Wu is too strong, if they are allowed to get Cao Cao's Runan and other places, the threat to the core of our Xuzhou will be even greater than Cao Cao.

Moreover, the State of Wu is interested in the Kingdom of Shu and is determined to build an ironclad southern defense line, and it is already lucky not to peep at Huaisi, the State of Chu, and it will definitely not ally with our State of Chu.

Lu Bu, he used to be an ally of Zhao State, but now he doesn't know what his attitude will be.

The key is whether Lu Qiling followed Yuan Tan to surrender to Cao Cao, if Lu Qiling was not there, then Lu Bu's attitude was quite ambiguous.

Several times, if the strength is strong today, the only ones who can help us are Lu Bu and Yan Guo. ”

Yan Guo?

Although he knew that Luo Qi would definitely say this name, after he really said it, everyone was still shocked.

You must know that the monarch of Yan is the person who directly calls the emperor, and he is the only person who has established a dynasty outside the Han Dynasty.

Isn't it too funny to let a Han clan like Liu Bei go and unite with Yan Guo?

This is a great political disaster.

There are some things that you can't do, and some things that you can't say, even if everyone knows about them, you still have to pretend that you don't know.

But everyone knew that Lozzi could not have made such an obvious mistake.

Sure enough, Luo Qi immediately said: "However, it is absolutely forbidden to form an alliance with the Yan State, and we can only use the Yan State to start a conflict with Cao Cao."

The Yan State was strong, but the grain and grass were insufficient, so it could not go south, so it could only watch in vain as a Wei State that was far more threatening than the Zhao State appeared on his south side, and even Bohai County was under Cao Cao's troops.

The minister didn't believe that Yan Guo didn't want to attack.

Now that our army is no longer willing to fight to the death with Cao Cao, the minister thinks that he can resell some grain and grass materials to Yan through private merchants, so that Yan can recover quickly.

Yan State established the country by force, at most half a year, the fastest then I don't know, Yan Guoding and Cao Cao have a battle, at that time, even if it can't win, but Cao Cao's rule over Jizhou will be greatly delayed.

That's the best news for us! ”

Exorcise the wolf!

The classic strategy of using force to fight with strength, using the entanglement of interests and the political situation to force the two sides into a state of war.

This is a big gift that Luo Qi came up with for Cao Cao just now in a hurry.

I don't know if Cao Cao likes it or not, in short, Liu Bei likes it quite a lot, and even laughed directly, and the gloomy atmosphere generated by missing the opportunity before dissipated completely.

"Just do what Ziqi said, Ziyang, you and Ziqi will discuss the most perfect plan together, so that Cao Cao can't really master Jizhou within a few years."

If you can't really control Jizhou, the taxes collected will be reduced, and the sources of troops and resources that can be requisitioned will be reduced.

It is impossible to completely stop Cao Cao, and this is already the best ending that can be achieved.

As for what to do after that?

Liu Bei set his eyes on Luo Qi again, since he was able to propose this plan just now, then there must have been a plan for the future.

Luo Qi did have another prototype of a plan in his mind, but it was a little weird, and there were a lot of people involved, he wasn't sure if Liu Bei could accept it, and he wasn't sure if the courtiers of Chu State could accept it.

So he said in a low voice: "The king, the minister does have some ideas, but it is inconvenient to say it here now, and the minister will discuss it with you after the meeting is dismissed." ”

Oh?

Now Liu Bei was even more curious.

What kind of strategy can make Lozzy so secretive?

Liu Bei's curiosity was raised to the extreme almost instantly, and he immediately said to everyone: "Zhongqing, immediately go and prepare the army and horses, prepare to evacuate Yanzhou, stick to the passage to Qingzhou, and meet Cao Cao's attack." ”

Everyone responded in unison, and then they all stepped out of the tent, Luo Qi began to slowly tell his thoughts, the expression on Liu Bei's face was very exciting, some shocked, and some emotional.

Emperor Chang taught the prince to say: "The success of a person is not only in personnel, but also in the mandate of heaven, I fought bravely in the first half of my life, and sometimes I was defeated by the crime of non-war, and at every time, my heart was depressed and I couldn't help myself."

As everyone knows, the will of heaven is deflected, and the person who likes not to give up will eventually be favored, and the fortune is in me, so there is this foundation.

Remember, victory and defeat are common, and you can't be depressed because of this, and the way to vitality is in it. —— "Ji Hanshu Xuanlie Benji"
