Xu You's arrival made Cao Cao very excited.

This means that Guo Jia's strategy of fishing in troubled waters and taking chaos first has worked.

"Ziyuan, I haven't seen you for many years, but my demeanor is still the same." Cao Cao warmly invited Xu Yu into the handsome tent to reminisce about the past.

Xu You was also not polite, and did not have the slightest caution and fear of entering the enemy camp alone.

"Mengde, you have a problem for Benchu." Xu Yu drank sake and began to flicker.

However, Cao Cao is also a treacherous person, and when he saw Xu Yu like this, he hurriedly approached and said: "Don't hide it, it's really helpless to make this decision, if not, Cao will be captured by Liu Bei." ”

"The battle between Cao and Ben is just a brother's fight, and Liu Bei is a big trouble."

Xu You snorted coldly and said contemptuously: "Mengde, why do you blame me? If there was no Liu Bei, the world would have been obtained by Ben Chu a long time ago, you just want to lead Liu Bei to fight with Ben Chu in order to benefit from it. ”

"It's not easy to refuse in the daytime, so it's impossible to send you to see Meng De and kill the Son of Heaven to recognize Liu Xie!"

"How could Ben have cut off his arm?"

"If Meng De really thinks about the beginning, it is better to kill Liu Xie, hold the jade seal of the country and vote for the original, how about working together to deal with Liu Bei?"

Seeing Xu Yu like this, Cao Cao suddenly understood.

Yuan Shao felt that the profit was too small, so he asked Xu You to bargain.

"Ziyuan, if you kill the Son of Heaven, Cao will be spurned by the world, this is unacceptable!" Cao Cao politely rejected Xu You's proposal and said, "If I originally felt that the position of the general was not enough, Cao Mou could give up the position of Sikong again." ”

Cao Cao's words showed his treacherous appearance.

For the Xudu court, Cao Cao wanted Sikong to be in charge alone, that is, Cao Sikong; Cao Cao wanted Situ to be in charge alone, and that was Cao Situ.

If you can't do it, you can still proclaim yourself the Great Sima.

Whether it is Sikong, Situ or Da Sima, there is no difference in essence.

Xu You narrowed his eyes and got up: "Since Meng De refuses to tell the truth, You can only leave." ”

"Ziyuan!" Cao Cao hurriedly grabbed Xu You, helped him sit down, and personally poured wine for Xu You to make amends, and then wiped his eyes on his cuffs and cried: "Ziyuan, do you really want to save Cao Mou when he sees death?" ”

Xu You didn't move at all, shaking the wine bottle: "Meng De, you and I have known each other for many years, why use this trick again." If he no longer gives Ben some benefits, how can Ben Chu agree? ”

"As long as you take advantage of the dispute between Meng De and Liu Bei, and go south to attack Xu Du at the beginning, Meng De will be homeless."

"I think that Meng De, you can first go out and discuss with others, and then make a decision."

Cao Cao wiped his cuffs again, got up and laughed: "Ziyuan is very right!" Ziyuan stayed for a while, and Cao came when he went. ”

Off-the-books.

Guo Jia has been waiting for a long time.

"Ming Gong, how are you talking?" Guo Jia asked in a low voice.

Cao Cao shook his head and sighed lightly: "Ziyuan and Cao are old acquaintances, and it is difficult to criticize him." ”

If it was a different person, Cao Cao might have succeeded.

But Xu You knows Cao Cao too well, and Cao Cao's treachery, Xu You is very clear.

After listening carefully, Guo Jia already had a countermeasure in his heart: "Hearing that Xu Ziyuan in Nanyang is greedy, Jia thinks that it is not so much that Xu Ziyuan is seeking benefits for Yuan Shao, but that Xu Ziyuan wants to benefit himself." ”

"Ming Gong can go to see Xu Ziyuan again, and if he is surrounded by money and beauty, Xu Ziyuan will definitely let go."

Cao Cao thought the same way.

It's just that I can't be sure in my heart, so I went out to discuss with Guo Jia.

After thinking for a while, Cao Cao returned to the handsome tent and poured wine for Xu You with a laugh: "Ziyuan, you are a guest from afar, and Cao has nothing good to entertain." ”

"Recently, His Majesty has rewarded some tribute, if Ziyuan is interested, he will give it to Ziyuan to watch in his leisure."

Xu You's pupils shrank, and soon returned to normal: "Mengde, why do you and I have to be like this, this tribute is all strange things, how can you win people's favor." ”

Cao Cao waved his hand generously: "Treasures for friends, life is happy." In addition, Cao also prepared a few cars of worthless gadgets for Ziyuan. ”

Seeing that Cao Cao was so knowledgeable, Xu You finally relented: "Mengde, don't say that you don't miss the old feelings, after all, you also have to think about the original." In addition to the previous conditions, one more Hanoi county is added! ”

Hanoi is located in the middle of the world, at the throat.

Guangwu sets the world in Hanoi, which shows its weight.

Although Ma Teng Han was stationed in Luoyang, in fact, Hanoi County was not controlled by Yuan Shao.

Since he wanted to agree to Cao Cao's proposal, Xu You naturally wanted to control the strategic location of Hanoi County.

Cao Cao frowned suddenly.

If Hanoi County was controlled by Yuan Shao, it would hang over Cao Cao's head like a sharp knife.

However, in the current situation, Yuan is strong and Cao is weak, and if you want to get the benefits, you have to pay the price first.

Long.

Cao Cao sighed deeply: "Ziyuan, you really can't talk about Cao." ”

Xu You smiled indifferently: "Meng De, if you and You assist Ben Chu together, Liu Bei will be wiped out with a backhand." ”

Cao Cao agreed to Xu You's terms, promising to withdraw his troops and cede Hanoi County.

The condition was that Yuan Shao must spread the word to the three northern states within a month and declare himself a vassal to Liu Xie.

Cao Cao will also play to Liu Xie, showing Yuan Shao as the general, supervising the affairs of You, Hebei, and the three states.

As for whether Yuan Shao would regret it, Cao Cao was not worried.

After all, Yuan Shao is the biggest beneficiary of this peace negotiation.

"Let Yuan Shao be the general, what about the general?" Lu Bu found Cao Cao and expressed his strong dissatisfaction.

Whoever moves General Lu Bu, Lu Bu will move.

Looking at Lu Bu's red eyes, Cao Cao had already prepared: "Why should Wen Hou care about a big general, this time he can negotiate peace with Yuan Shao, and nominally recover You, Hebei, and the three states, Wen Hou has a great merit." ”

"Cao will play the Son of Heaven and promote Wenhou to the Great Sima, above the Three Dukes, isn't it much stronger than the Great General?"

This official position of Xu Du, Cao Cao can give it as much as he wants.

To General Yuan Shao, to Lu Bu and Sima, its essence has not changed much.

It's just a justifiable picture.

Lu Bu's anger gradually dissipated: "Da Sima, it's not bad." ”

In fact, Lu Bu is not really attached to the position of general, and now he is married to Cao Cao, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, but he can't get off the stage because of his face, so he is angry and looks for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao promised to give Lu Bu Da Sima, and naturally he also gave Lu Bu steps.

Yuan Shao was also very satisfied with Xu You, and Yuan Shao was also very clear about the geographical location of Hanoi County.

"Occupy Hanoi County, any future actions of Meng De will be under the nose of the general, and he will not be able to turn over the wind and waves." Yuan Shao was quite proud.

The movements of both sides are very secretive.

Yuan Shao is not stupid, and he will not make this matter public until he gets Liu Xie's holy decree and the general's seal.

And Cao Cao was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he personally returned to Xu Du to ask Liu Xie for the holy decree.

said that it was to ask for it, but in fact, there was no need to negotiate with Liu at all, just to inform Liu Xie.

Ten days later, Lü Bucao Cao withdrew from Wei County and returned to Dong County.

At the same time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao passed on their own words.

When Liu Bei got the news, it was already half a month later.

"Yuan Shao killed the puppet emperor and surrendered?"

"The Son of Heaven named Yuan Shao as a general, and the governor of You, Ji, and Ji?"

"How is this possible?"

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's conspiracy surprised Liu Bei.

But the next moment, Liu Bei's anger broke out instantly: "Saying that fornicating with Yuan Wei is so high-sounding, Cao Mengde, his heart can be punished!" ”

In just half a month, Yuan Shao became a general named by Liu Xie.

This matter must have been Cao Cao's arbitrariness, without consulting with the Secretary of Cultural Relics, and even Liu Xie's opinion was not adopted, and he directly started this matter.

How could Liu Bei endure such a contempt for the authority of the Han Dynasty?

Yuan Shao was originally the general of the puppet emperor, and now he has become the general of Liu Xie, and he still supervises the affairs of Youji and Sanzhou Prefecture, except for the change of his name, nothing else has changed!

"Xianmou, I intend to send troops to Xu Du, Qingjun's side!" Liu Bei's anger continued unabated.

Regarding Yuan Shao's transformation into a general, Liu Bei did not admit it!

It's child's play!

"Cao Cao is trying to stall for time."

"It's a pity that the timing is not right."

Zheng Ping shook the feather fan, not caring too much about it.

"If you cooperate with Yuan Shao when Gongsun Bogui kills the puppet emperor, you may be able to cause trouble for the envoy."

"Now, it will only give the envoy a reason to send troops."

"If my expectations are not bad, Yuan Shao will soon send someone to ask for Nanpi City."

Liu Bei snorted coldly: "If he wants it, will I give it?" ”

"Of course I have to give it, after all, Yuan Shao is now supervising the affairs of You, Hebei, and Sanzhou!" Zheng Ping chuckled.

Liu Bei was suddenly puzzled: "Really give?" Conspiracy, why is that? ”

Zheng Ping's eyes smiled: "We can't give Yuan Shao a reason to send troops." Cao Cao and Yuan Shao must have thought that the envoy would forcibly occupy Nanpi City. ”

"If Yuan Shao and the envoy had a dispute over the war in Nanpi City, Cao Cao would come to persuade him to make peace, and then achieve the goal of delaying time."

"The envoy can do the opposite, directly withdraw from Nanpi City, retreat the defense line to the plain country, and not give Yuan Shao a reason to send troops."

"At the same time, the king will raise six battalions of troops, and take Jiyin County, Shanyang County, Chenliu County, and Dongjun with lightning speed, and if anyone asks, it will be said that Cao Cao collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country."

"First knock down the entire territory of Yanzhou, and then listen to Cao Cao."

"A Nanpi City, for half of Yanzhou, this business is quite cost-effective."

"If you want to be a fisherman, Cao Cao is not qualified yet!"

"If Feng Ji can successfully persuade Ma Teng Han to send troops to Yingchuan, and can give Cao Cao another fatal blow, this crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, Cao Cao will be confirmed!"

"To be weak is the original sin."

"Cao Cao's skills are exhausted!"

Guo Jia's layout is actually not a big problem.

By negotiating peace, you can also gain the reputation of recovering lost territory.

At the same time, it also gave Cao Cao the opportunity to completely stabilize Jingzhou and Guanzhong.

And Liu Bei's psychology, Guo Jia did guess it.

Nanpi City is such an important place, how can it be easily abandoned?

As long as Liu Bei is unwilling to give up Nanpi City, Yuan Shao will inevitably send troops to attack.

However.

Guo Jia couldn't guess what Zheng Ping was thinking.

The gains and losses of one city and one pool are not too important to Zheng Ping.

If you give up Nanpi City today, you can also retake Nanpi City in the future.

Zheng Ping's layout route has always been multi-line parallel, taking advantage of the situation.

If you can go on the Northern Expedition, you will go on the Northern Expedition, and if you can't go on the Northern Expedition, you will take Yanzhou.

If Cao Cao had no intention of going all out on the Northern Expedition, Zheng Ping would be able to directly defeat the entire territory of Jizhou.

If Cao Cao had two hearts like now, Zheng Ping would have knocked down the entire territory of Yanzhou first.

As for the namelessness of the teacher?

Liu Bei was "stubborn" to believe that Cao Cao had fornicated with Yuan Shao, and in anger he attacked Jiyin County, Shanyang County, Chenliu County and Dong County, which can be forgiven.

After all, Cao Cao didn't discuss it with Liu Bei, so Liu Bei could naturally "mistakenly" think that Cao Cao had fornicated with Yuan Shao.

first occupy the entire territory of Yanzhou, and then listen to Cao Cao's distinction, at most Liu Bei pretended to apologize to Cao Cao afterwards.

As for returning Yanzhou?

Yanzhou, which was defeated by strength, should be returned?

Cao Cao can cheat, and Liu Bei can also cheat.

This is a loss, Cao Cao is decided!

If Feng Ji makes another unexpected and amazing move, then Zheng Ping will be even happier.

Even if Yuan Shao is sincere in discussing peace, as long as he fights Xu Du every time, from Liu Xie to the minister, who will believe that Yuan Shao is sincerely obedient?

After Liu Bei listened to Zheng Ping's analysis, his anger gradually dissipated, and it was replaced by joy.

"If that's the case, Cao Cao won't be able to occupy Yanzhou anymore!"

"It's just Nanpi City, if you lose it, you lose it."

Seeing that Liu Bei no longer cared about Nanpi City, Zheng Ping said again: "Envoy, you can first withdraw the soldiers and horses of the six battalions into the territory of Dongping Kingdom, and as soon as Yuan Shao's envoy arrives, while giving up Nanpi City, he will attack the four counties of Chenliu." ”

"Don't give Cao Cao time to respond!"

Conspiracy and conspiracy, the main focus is an unexpected, fast, accurate, and ruthless.

Just as Cao Cao concealed Liu Bei's peace with Yuan Shao, he first made a statement and then prepared a rhetoric to deal with Liu Bei.

Similarly, Zheng Ping also wants Cao Cao to suffer this dark loss.

Under the command of Zheng Ping, the soldiers and horses of the six battalions quietly arrived in Dongping Kingdom.

And the Ruishi battalion of Qinghe Country also set up a false flag, and the main force of soldiers and horses quietly returned to Dongping Kingdom.

Just when Cao Cao thought that Liu Bei was going to send someone to question, he suddenly got an urgent report from Li Dian that Shanyang County was attacked by Liu Bei.

Immediately afterwards, there was also an urgent report from Jiyin County.

Cao Cao was suddenly blindsided.

"What's going on?"

"Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, when will you return to Yanzhou?"

This time difference puzzled Cao Cao.

In Cao Cao's view, when Yuan Shao's envoy arrived in Nanpi City, Liu Bei must first find Cao Cao's theory.

How can there be any reason to ignore it and start fighting directly?

"It's bad, Liu Bei is going to give up the city of Jizhou and rob Yanzhou directly!"

Soon, Cao Cao reacted and understood Liu Bei's intentions.

The disaster led to the east, and the flames of war burned to Cao Cao again.

Cao Cao couldn't help but stomp his feet and scolded: "Is Liu Bei's brain all water?" Don't you know that Yuan Shao is the biggest enemy? ”

Liu Bei beheaded Yan Liang, and Yuan Shao beat Cao Cao.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao negotiated peace, and Liu Bei beat Cao Cao.

This makes Cao Cao very uncomfortable, why do you pick the weak ones to fight?

Guo Jia didn't expect that Liu Bei, who has always paid attention to fame, would suddenly send troops.

"Mistaken!"

"Liu Bei's purpose is not the Northern Expedition, it has always been Yanzhou!"

"Ming Gong, immediately retreat to Chen Liu, if Chen Liu is captured by Liu Bei, I will have to wait for the retreat to be cut off!"

"If the Duke of Ming is trapped in Dongjun, the court of Xudu will have a change."

Guo Jia immediately made a decision and bluntly admonished.

Cao Cao's face also changed greatly!

If you are alone, if you are cut off, the ministers of the DPRK and China will inevitably be in trouble!
