Speaking of this, Li Dong paused, and then said: "With the strength of my lord, this is the case, and besides, it is you, my lord." ”

Li Dong's words were not finished, but the meaning was obvious. It was planned to recruit Liu Ye and help Yuan Shao with Liu Pi to attack Cao Cao.

To put it more simply, he just wants to swallow him Liu Ye, and then strengthen himself, so that he can better serve Yuan Shao.

In the troubled times, this Liu Pi is definitely a fool.

This is Liu Ye's evaluation of Liu Bi, because only short-sighted people will openly defect to Yuan Shao at this time. Liu Pi's Runan, bordering Cao Cao, lacks its own strength, but dares to break ground on Cao Cao's Tai Sui. Yuan Shaoyuan is in Jizhou, and Cao Cao's march only takes half a month to reach Runan, is it not easy to destroy him? At that time, I am afraid that the results of the battle of Guandu have not yet come out, and he will take the lead in becoming cannon fodder, this is not a fool and something.

Liu Ye was basically right, and it was indeed the case in history, Cao Cao waved his troops to take Runan in a short period of time and destroyed Liu Pi.

Although Liu Ye thought so in his heart, he didn't say it. just smiled slightly and declined: "Mr.'s kindness is appreciated in Xiaxin, but he has no ambition in Xiaxia, and he just wants to live a good life in Shouchun in peace." And to be honest, I don't like these two princes, so I can only apologize. ”

"What?" Li Dong is a little incredible, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the only people who can have the strength to win the championship in this world are Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and compared with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao's power is naturally much greater.

It's just that this guy doesn't choose Cao Cao, and he can't even look down on Yuan Shao?

"Who is the person in the hearts of the adults? Could it be Liu Xun, who has just become the lord of Jiangdong? It's possible. After all, the current Liu Xun's power is not weak. After a moment of incredulity, Li Dong asked.

"It's neither, it's Liu Jingzhou, who dominates Jingchu." Liu Ye smiled faintly, raised his fist to the west, and said.

"Liu Biao?" Li Dong couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then said speechlessly:

"It turns out that you are planning to defect to Liu Biao."

As he spoke, Li Dong hugged his fists and said goodbye: "Since this is the case, then I will leave below." ”

"Sir, walk slowly." Liu Ye got up and said goodbye.

Soon after, Li Dong left. But Liu Ye's expression became solemn, because he knew that this matter would never be so simple.

Liu Pi is insatiable, since he is eyeing him. It will not just solicit, first solicit and then attack and annex. It is estimated that it is not far from the sword soldiers.

But this is not a strange thing, Liu Ye naturally knows that sooner or later there will be such a thing. And he has been staring at Runan County for a long time. It's just that his strength has not yet been reached, and Liu Xun's attitude is not clear, so he doesn't know how to decide. Forget it, no matter what, if Liu Bi dares to come, he will definitely regret it. ”

"Alas, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and in troubled times, it is very difficult even to keep to yourself." Liu Ye sighed and said.

"My lord, where are you going now?"

At this time, the soldiers came over, and when they saw Liu Ye, they immediately bent down and saluted.

"Let's go, go home." Liu Ye nodded, and then whispered to the soldiers.

"Hmm." The soldier snorted and nodded.

Immediately, Liu Ye went back with his own soldiers.

"What should I do, I still need the lord to make an idea, go back and discuss it with Liu Jie first."

Soon, Liu Jie came to Liu Ye's mansion, and Liu Ye ordered his soldiers to wait outside.

"Strategist."

After entering the mansion, Liu Jie knelt down and saluted Liu Ye.

"General Liu, Liu Pilai persuaded people to surrender, what do you think?" Liu Ye said with a solemn expression.

"It seems that Liu Pi has bad intentions towards us." Liu Jie said.

"I can't imagine that even princes like Liu Pi are interested in us." Liu Ye laughed and said.

"And this time it's not the bandits and bullies, but a prince who even Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are trying their best to woo, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban with 10,000 elite soldiers, Liu Pi." Liu Jie also sighed. On the premise that we can't expose the lord, we can only rely on ourselves now.

"10,000 elite soldiers, and it is also an elite soldier after a hundred battles, and our newly sharpened elite soldiers, it is a different kind of combat power, in addition, I heard that Liu Bei, who was defeated in Xuzhou, also came to his camp, although Liu Bei often defeats battles, but the ability is still there, if Liu Pi comes to commit with Liu Bei's help, it is estimated that it is not very easy to deal with." Liu Ye sighed and said.

If Liu Xun was here, he would definitely scold Cao Cao. It's all because Cao Cao is stupid and lacks the kindness of a woman, otherwise how could Liu Bei have a chance to escape from Xu Du, and cut down that girl with a knife earlier. Now it's easy to do.

Now it's okay, not only did he escape from Xudu, but he also helped Liu Pi plan himself in Runan, and now Runan has developed to the level of 10,000 elite soldiers. It's just a headache for Cao Cao, and it also affects him Liu Xun, it's really 。。。。。

At this time, Liu Ye didn't know what to say.

Liu Jie was silent when he heard this, and he also felt that it was difficult to deal with.

"The gap in strength is a bit big, and besides, Shouchun City is dilapidated, and I can't ask the lord for help. If it weren't for the surprise, I'm afraid there would be more than one luck. Liu Jie said with a solemn expression.

"It's a lot of bad luck." Liu Ye nodded, very agreeable.

Immediately, Liu Ye touched his chin and said, "However, what General Liu said is strange." ”

"The so-called strange strategy is a surprise strategy, including sneak attacks, assassinations, and other strategies, which can achieve the goal of winning with surprise. It is also necessary to have the right timing, and to grasp the fighter steadily, otherwise it is impossible to succeed. Liu Jie also said thoughtfully.

If Liu Ye and Liu Jie were thinking about what to do just now, how to defend against Liu Bi who was about to attack, then now they are starting to think about taking the initiative to attack. After all, there is not much chance of winning by sticking to Shouchun.

"There is a saying, it is called encircling Wei to save Zhao." Liu Ye's eyes suddenly lit up and said.

"The military advisor is talking about beating Liu Pi's old nest Runan?" Liu Jie suddenly guessed Liu Ye's mind and said.

"Wai Wei to save Zhao? It was a war that took place between the Warring States period, and it seems that the situation is not quite the same as ours, how can we fight? Moreover, it is still beating Liu Pi's nest. Liu Jie was puzzled and said.

"Now, Liu Bi's intentions are obvious, he wants to eat us. And in order to save ourselves, we will send troops to attack Runan and save ourselves, isn't this the siege of Wei to save Zhao? Liu Ye laughed and said.

"Is the military advisor planning to put the people down for the time being, and the light troops will go?" Liu Jie said solemnly.

"Yes. The people are very important, this lord has explained many times, we must bring back these 180,000 people safely. They can't be abandoned, but in this case, we can only temporarily use the people as bait to make Liu Pi attack, and we take the opportunity to take the small road, sneak attack Liu Bi's nest, and go straight to his heart. ”

Saying that, Liu Ye smiled slightly and said, "In the case that the armies of the two sides are not equal, we can only use this." The result at that time was that Liu Pi broke through our camp and captured our people, but we also had a great chance to break through Runan, capture Liu Pi's family, and own the entire Runan County.

"It's just that we can only succeed when Liu Pi uses a large number of troops to attack us, leaving only a little defensive force. What if he left enough to defend the city. Liu Jie hesitated.

Under the current circumstances, Liu Bi has 10,000 elite soldiers, while Liu Ye only has 5,000 elite soldiers. And Liu Ye chose to put down the people first and attack Runan with the largest force, that is, 5,000 elite soldiers.

If it is captured, it is a temporary tie between the two sides. Liu Ye's city and people were taken away by Liu Pi, and Liu Pi's entire Runan County was captured by Liu Ye. But the value is not the same.

The people of Shouchun owned by Liu Ye are wandering people. And Shouchun City is broken, and Liu Bi is estimated to be unfavorable. Runan, on the other hand, is a big city, with 200,000 people in the city, and it also has tall city walls, and many Yuan Shao supports it.

The strategic advantage is also huge. This is the city under Yuan Shao's control that can form the most direct threat to Cao Cao.

At that time, it must be Liu Pi who is eager, if Liu Pi's rebel army returns to attack Runan, Liu Ye's army will be able to meet the blow and eliminate Liu Pi.

In the end, let the greedy Liu Pi reap the consequences. However, this result can only be established under one premise. That is the strength of Runan, which is three thousand, or less.

If it is 4,000 or 5,000, plus the advantage of the city wall, Liu Ye's 5,000 elite soldiers will definitely not be able to capture Runan.

"It's just a gamble." Liu Jie interjected on the side, and looking at his expression, he knew that he supported Liu Ye and carried out this strategy.

"Yes, it's bad luck anyway. Compared with strength, we can't beat Liu Pi. I can only make a dangerous move. Liu Ye nodded and said.

There is a huge gap in strength, and the other party still has Liu Bei, an old fritter on the battlefield, which is undeniable. It can be said that he was forced into a corner, and there was less luck.

Before I came, the lord had already explained to me that Shouchun's affairs could be handled by himself. Then now I will use chicken feathers as arrows. But I still have to send my henchmen to inform the lord of the situation here. Just in case of his own defeat, he can only expose the lord, and let the lord coerce the army to attack Liu Pi with himself in an instant. But this is an option that can only be chosen in the last case when there is no way out. After all, our secret identity is more conducive to the progress of the successor lord.

At the critical moment, Liu Ye has an adventurous spirit. Or rather, to be cornered.

"What's more, we also have an advantage." Finally, Liu Ye said with a smile.

"Huh?" Liu Jie was a little puzzled, they had the upper hand, what advantage could they have.

"We have eliminated all the forces in Shouchun along the way. With such momentum, although Liu Bi wants to annex us, he wants to eat us and increase his strength. But in his heart, he will definitely pay attention to us, after all, we also have 5,000 troops. He only has 10,000 soldiers, and I guess he will send at least 8,000 to fight us. He would never have thought that we would give up this Shouchun in vain, let alone that we would attack Runan instead. ”
