Chapter 142: Liu Bei's Future Opportunities
"Of course Yuan Shu will ask Yuan Shao for help."
Guo Jia said: "When people are cornered, as long as there is still a glimmer of life, they must try their best to seize it, and Yuan Shao has become the hope of Yuan Shu's life." ”
Yuan Shu didn't want to wait for death, no one wanted to wait for death.
"What's more, they are all members of the Yuan family, it's okay to fight infighting, and of course it's okay to unite."
Guo Jia added.
Chen Zhou agreed: "As Feng Xiao said, Yuan Shu will definitely ask for help from Yuan Shao, if I guess correctly, Yuan Shao can almost transfer the main force back from Youzhou, right?" ”
Cao Cao nodded and said: "According to the latest news, it is true, Gongsun Zan was almost suppressed by Yuan Benchu, and there is no possibility of resistance, almost gone." ”
Gongsun Zhan is Liu Bei's senior brother.
Hearing that his senior brother was about to die, Liu Bei felt a little emotional, and at the same time worried: "If Yuan Shao is willing to help Yuan Shu and wave his army south, what should we do?" ”
Hearing this, Cao Cao frowned.
immediately turned his gaze to Chen Zhou.
The entire plan was given by Chen Zhou, and Chen Zhou had to break this situation.
"Actually, you don't have to worry."
Chen Zhou said calmly: "Yuan Shao wants to help Yuan Shu, but the two Yuan are fighting, they contradict each other, Yuan Shao will not simply help, in exchange for Xuande, you will be so generous to help one, often scolding you for being a concubine?" ”
Liu Bei hesitated, but finally shook his head.
He, who thinks he is benevolent and righteous, can't stand such insulting words.
Cao Cao asked: "Du Zhi thinks that Yuan Benchu wants to help Yuan Highway, but he doesn't simply help, what are the conditions?" ”
"Yes!"
Chen Zhou nodded.
Guo Jia guessed and said: "If I'm not mistaken, the condition that Duzhi thinks is the heirloom jade seal, right?" ”
It has long been no secret that Yuan Shao wants to get the jade seal of the country.
When the fire burned in Luoyang, Sun Jian accidentally got the jade seal of the country, and for this reason, he also had a conflict with the Yuan brothers and left Luoyang directly.
For Yuan Shu, holding the jade seal of the country is equivalent to holding the mandate of heaven.
Yuan Shao must think so.
Chen Zhou said: "That's right! The jade seal of the country is the thing of the Son of Heaven, how can they get their hands on it? The lord cut off their contact, don't let Yuan Shu send the heirloom jade seal to Yuan Shao, there will be no benefits, and Yuan Shao's interest in helping Yuan Shu will be gone. ”
Cao Cao felt that it made sense when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Zhongkang, arrange." ”
Xu Chu, who was following him, immediately went to arrange people, stared at everything about Yuan Shu, and as long as he found that Yuan Shu sent people north, he would intercept and kill him immediately.
"Then our next step, do we want to kill Jiang Ting?"
Liu Bei asked.
Chen Zhou nodded and said, "That's right, you must kill Jiang Ting and give Yuan Shu the final blow." ”
The plan was quick, and the discussions were completed.
Liu Bei returned to his camp, found Chen Gong, and told Chen Gong all what he had just said.
"This Chen Duzhi is really powerful!"
Chen Gong touched his chin and guessed: "All my arrangements in Xiapi should be destroyed in the hands of this person, Cao Cao has his assistance, he must be our fierce enemy, and he should be eliminated as soon as possible." ”
Hearing that Chen Gong also wanted to get rid of Chen Zhou, Liu Bei's mind became even firmer.
However, Chen Zhou has been hiding in Cao Jun, and it is not easy to kill people, so there is no way for the time being, but to leave it behind.
"Yuan Shao can't get the jade seal of the country, so he really won't help Yuan Shu anymore? He knew that Cao Cao snatched the jade seal of the country, and would he not lead troops to fight Cao Cao? ”
Liu Bei still had doubts in his heart.
Chen Gong thought for a while and said: "It's really not, Yuan Shu's half of the Yuan clan was almost destroyed by him, the only benefit of Yuan Shu is to pass on the jade seal of the country, if Yuan Shao can't get it, why do you want to help him?" For the emperor of the Zhong family? ”
The current emperor is not very valuable.
As long as they want, many princes can be called emperors, but those princes don't dare to stop now!
If Yuan Shu can stand up, I believe that there are emperors everywhere in the land of the Han Dynasty.
"If I were Yuan Shao, since I couldn't get the jade seal of the country, it would be better to concentrate my forces, solve Gongsun Zan first, hold the north of the Han Dynasty, and then have no worries, and then make a move to the south."
Chen Gong analyzed: "I believe that the strategists under Yuan Shao's command should also suggest this after the failure to seek the jade seal of the country." In other words, before Youzhou was all taken by Yuan Shao, the south and the north would not go to war, and the jade seal of the country would not become a condition for war for the time being. But once Youzhou is taken, if Cao Cao continues to grow at this time, a battle between him and Yuan Shao will definitely be inevitable. ”
The current Yuan Shao does not regard Cao Cao as a threat.
But as Youzhou was annexed by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu was gone, and the threat of Cao Cao became more and more obvious.
Even if it wasn't a threat, Yuan Shao would definitely annex Cao Cao.
"I thought about it for days."
"I think the next chance for the lord is when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are fighting."
"As long as they fight, I will help the lord plan an opportunity to snatch the current Cao Cao's territory and replace Cao Cao."
Chen Gong said.
When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes were blazing, and he saw his future again, but he was also worried: "If we replace Cao Cao, won't we have to face Yuan Shao?" ”
Yuan Shao is a behemoth, he can't beat it!
Chen Gong said again: "This is not necessarily! The current Cao Cao is still nominally dependent on Yuan Shao, and the lord will replace Cao Cao in the future, and he can also be attached to Yuan Shao and be a vassal to Yuan Shao. At the same time, Yuan Shao took Cao Cao and will definitely not let go of Jingzhou and Yangzhou. Jingyang Erzhou, the river network is dense, Yuan Shao's Hebei army is all northerners, not good at water warfare, so the second chance of the lord is here again. ”
This is the content that Chen Gong has been thinking about for several days.
After listening to Chen Gong's words, Liu Bei suddenly had a feeling of clearing the clouds.
It was as if everything in front of me became clear in an instant.
"Thank you for showing me the way."
Liu Bei bowed.
The reason why he is so embarrassed is because there is no one like Chen Gong who is very unclear about his future direction.
"The lord is gracious."
Chen Gong replied with a salute and said: "The only trouble now is Chen Duzhi, if this person is really so terrible, he must not stay." ”
Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent: "But, we can't kill him!" ”
Since Chen Zhou can't be subdued, he must be killed.
Chen Gong saw Liu Bei's killing intent, and thought to himself that Liu Xuande, who was unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, was also a ruthless person behind his back, but he could use benevolence and righteousness so well, which was also a skill, and said: "Not now, there will be a way in the future, the lord must not be impatient." ”
Liu Bei listened to it and thought it was right.
Chen Zhou couldn't, and he hid in Cao Jun all his life.
As long as you leave the barracks, you have a chance to kill, but this opportunity is not easy to find.
"I see."
After Liu Bei finished speaking, his whole body relaxed a lot.
There are military advisors and those without military advisors, which is really different, this is the most intuitive feeling.
"If I have the day to unify the world, I will never forget the public platform."
Liu Bei said solemnly.
Chen Gong listened and smiled.
It can be heard that Liu Bei's pacification of the world, and when the time comes, the Han family of Kuangfu will be different from the current Han Dynasty.
But it's normal, the princes of the world, who wouldn't have ambitions?
They pacified the world in order to be emperors themselves.
Even Lu Bu, who is brave and unscrupulous, thinks so, and Cao Cao and others are even more so.
