Chapter 149: Yuan Shao's decision
"With the benevolence and righteousness of the lord, and the identity of the clan of the Han family, who can kill the lord at will?"
When Chen Zhi heard Chen Gong say this, he also felt that it was unlikely, and couldn't help but retort.
Everyone else thinks so.
Liu Bei was righteous and killed him, which was not conducive to Cao Cao's convincing public, as well as recruiting or surrendering others in the future.
Just imagine, Liu Bei, who took refuge in Cao Cao, was killed, who else would want to take refuge in the future? Even if you want to take refuge, you have some concerns before you come.
This was not the result Cao Cao wanted.
Chen Gong smiled and said: "My lord, you think things are too simple, a real strategist, you can kill without blood, if you want to kill a person, you can have countless methods, you don't necessarily need to do it yourself, you can also borrow a knife to kill." ”
It's no wonder that Liu Bei and them have simple ideas.
Because they have never met a powerful strategist, Jian Yong and Sun Qian do not have the shrewdness of Chen Gong.
At this time, after listening to Chen Gong's words, he thought it seemed to be a truth.
The strategists of those Yin people are very powerful.
For example, in the previous Chen Palace, it was easy to give Xiapi to Yin, so everything was possible.
After listening to Chen Gong's analysis, Liu Bei suddenly felt that it was not a good thing to go to Xudu at this time, and if he didn't get it right, he might not be able to leave Xudu.
After all, the current Xu Du is no longer the first time he has been there.
"What do we think we should do?"
Liu Bei said again: "Aren't you going to Xu Du?" But I have already promised to follow Cao Cao back and visit His Majesty. ”
In fact, he also wants to spread his identity as the imperial uncle of the Han family all over the world through Liu Xie, so as to increase the popularity, so that more people can know who they are, so that they can better promote their fame and recruit troops in the future.
If you want to do a big career, you can also have more people to take refuge.
But if you don't go to Xudu, you will be suspicious of Cao Cao, and the end will not be very good.
"Of course Xu Du can go."
Chen Gong said: "After arriving in Xudu, the lord must lower his posture and bow to Cao Cao, indicating that he is surrendering to Cao Cao, and he can be as low-key as he can, and then find a chance to find a way to leave." ”
He paused for a moment, and then said: "I have thought about the reasons for leaving, Xuzhou has just been pacified, and there is a lack of state pastors. Although Cao Cao wanted to use Xuzhou people to govern Xuzhou, the Xuzhou Danyang faction was gone, and there were only the Shuren faction and the scholar faction, which were easier to dispute. At this time, a third faction needs to enter to maintain this balance, and this third faction is the lord, but the premise of everything, the lord must gain Cao Cao's trust and persuade him for this reason. ”
"I see!"
Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a glint of light.
In the light, his ambition is revealed.
"No way!"
Guan Yu was a proud person, and after listening to Chen Gong's plan, he was the first to object: "The eldest brother is a member of the Han family, the uncle of the emperor of heaven, how can he be angry with Cao Cao?" I don't agree with that, it's a loss of identity. ”
Zhang Fei affirmed: "That's right, I don't agree either, that Cao Cao is not a good thing, and he is not worthy of the eldest brother to whisper to him." ”
Chen Gong smiled again, and said disapprerovingly: "Cao Cao is also whispering to Yuan Shao now, so that everything in Xu Du can be stabilized and develop so fast." King Goujian of Yue, succumbed to his husband for three years, gained the trust of his husband, and finally annexed Wu, Emperor Gao faced Xiang Yu, returned everything in Guanzhong, succumbed to Shuzhong, and finally defeated Xiang Yu and had a big Han, can't the lord be the second Gaozu? ”
As soon as these allusions came out, they were shut down, and they couldn't be refuted immediately.
People in the past could tolerate it like this, and eventually achieve hegemony, the eldest brother can endure it like this, maybe it's okay, Guan Zhang suddenly felt that he was short-sighted.
When Liu Bei heard that Chen Gong put himself in the same position as Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, the whole person became excited.
He also believed that he could achieve the same hegemony as Emperor Gao.
Emperor Guangwu was a great Han.
He Liu Bei, a great man of Sanxing, has been famous for thousands of years and has been famous for centuries.
"Gongtai is right, my second brother and third brother are used to pride, and I ask Gongtai not to be angry." Liu Bei apologized.
"The lord is gracious."
Chen Gong said again: "After arriving in Xudu, you can enter the city, but the uncle and nephew general must lead our remaining soldiers to stay outside the city, just in case, even if something happens, we can meet the lord in time when we are outside the city." Of course, it is inconvenient for me to enter the city, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered by Cao Cao, and I will be outside the city and plan everything for you. ”
For this arrangement, Liu Bei agreed, and felt that it was no problem.
Since I went to Xudu, everything is unknown, and I even have to worry about my life, and the arrangements outside must be done well, otherwise I won't be able to get out if I go in.
"I'm in trouble."
Liu Bei said sincerely.
Chen Gongzuo said: "The lord risked death to save me, I must repay the lord for his life, not to mention that we all have a common enemy, that is Cao Cao." ”
In fact, there is no direct grudge between Liu Bei and Cao Cao.
The reason why he became an enemy was the conflict of interests, Cao Cao was suspicious of Liu Bei, and Liu Bei wanted to rob Cao Cao of everything.
Thus the hostile relationship was formed.
Liu Bei said solemnly: "I will help Gongtai take revenge!" ”
——
Yecheng.
Yuan Shao has already gotten the news that Yuan Shu is dead.
Although he and Yuan Shu are not right, they are also brothers in the end, and as a family, when people die, they will still sigh with emotion.
"Lord!"
Tian Feng still couldn't help but say: "Cao Cao defeated Yuan Highway, Xuzhou, Huainan and Lujiang and other places have fallen into his hands, in addition to Yongzhou, Liangzhou and Sili, the strength at this time is getting stronger and stronger, not to be underestimated!" ”
Fu Zhu echoed: "The lord should take advantage of Cao Cao's incomplete growth to deal with Cao Cao first, and nominally avenge Yuan Highway." ”
In fact, when Cao Cao conquered Yuzhou, it was the most appropriate time to solve the people.
Fu Zhu proposed it at that time, but Yuan Shao didn't like to listen to it, and then there was no then.
The two of them are really thinking about Yuan Shao's future.
Cao Cao is the fierce enemy, and Gongsun Zan is not as good as Cao Cao.
Guo Tu was the first to retort: "Cao Cao has long been obedient to the lord, and when he brought the Son of Heaven to Xu County, he asked people to curry favor with the lord and send the general's seal." In my opinion, Cao Cao is not important, what is more important is Gongsun Zhan! Cao Cao got so many states and counties at once, and if he wanted to completely control and govern them well, he couldn't do it in a short period of time. ”
"If we do anything to Cao Cao at this time, we will let Gongsun Chan go."
"It's not good for us to let Gongsun Chan come over."
"If you move troops against Cao Cao now, it is possible to force Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhan to join forces and attack us, which is even more troublesome."
"We should concentrate our efforts and completely solve Gongsun Chan first, and then consider dealing with Cao Cao."
As long as they are told what to say, Guo Tu will oppose them.
Guo Tu and others generally catered to Yuan Shao to oppose it.
Yuan Shao agreed with Guo Tu's analysis, nodded and said: "Continue to concentrate your strength, first take Gongsun Zhan, and completely solve it!" ”
