Chapter 128: Grain Burning Conspiracy

The Iron Kendo man finally died, under Guan Yu's broadsword. It's a little scary to think about it, if Guan Yu hadn't arrived in time on a red rabbit horse, it wouldn't be him but me who would have died at this time.

So, I'm sitting in my room drinking in silk at the moment. Xu Qianxue was hit by the palm power of the iron sword man, and was pointed at the acupoint, but fortunately, there was no fatal injury. The pervert of Iron Sword saw that she was beautiful, and she didn't make a heavy hand, so it should be fine for a few days of pranayama.

This fire burned Yuan Shao's 2,000 stones of grain and grass, but fortunately, it was found that the response was appropriate in time and did not let the fire spread, and the loss caused was not large. But I'm still very distressed, I'm a child from a poor family, I've been farming on Zhongnan Mountain since I was a child, I know that food is not easy to come by, and I have to pull out the rice grains when I eat on weekdays.

Fortunately, it was not my own. Liu Bei wrote what happened and reported it to Yuan Shao, and Chun Yuqiong personally went on a trip and reported the incident to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao naturally scolded Tie Jian's bull's nose, but he didn't blame us much. It's just that we must strengthen our vigilance and don't let the villain succeed. So, Yuan Shao sent another 20,000 soldiers and horses to assist me in guarding the black nest.

The black nest is lost, and the official crossing is gone.

Xu Qianxue came over, poured me a glass of wine, sat down beside me, and snuggled in my arms. When I saw that she was fine, I asked, "Xue'er, how did you find the black nest?"

"People didn't miss you yet, they heard that you were here, so they came. But as soon as I came, I saw a fire in the black nest, and those few people were sneaky, so I didn't have time to see you first, so I went over to see what was going on. As a result, I was discovered by that bull nose, and I couldn't fight him, but fortunately Sister Zhao Yun came, otherwise...... But he will be poisoned by him. Xu Qianxue said.

When I saw her looking pitiful, I felt a sense of pity in my heart, so I bowed my head and kissed her forehead, and said, "Thank you for remembering me so much." ”

Xu Qianxue said: "Now Xue'er is the only one who depends on you, who else does you remember if you don't remember." ”

My heart warmed and I held her in my arms.

"Actually, Cao Cao knew that you escorted Guan Yu and them to join Yuan Shao. She said suddenly.

"How does he know?" I was shocked.

"That day in Dongling Pass, Yu Ban saw you. It's just that he didn't say it at the time. Xu Qianxue said, "Actually, that day, Yu Ban planned to do something to Guan Yu, and it was because he saw you that he let you go." ”

Xu Qianxue added: "Everyone in Cao Ying knows that you and Cao Cao are sworn brothers, and they have agreed to live and die together, who would dare to be your enemy?"

"Cao Cao told you this?" I asked.

"Well, it was he who told me you were in the Black Nest and asked me to come to you. She said.

Since he knew that I had escorted Guan Yu to Yuan Shao and treated me like this, I owed him a great favor. I sighed.

"Do you know that in the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao can't defeat Yuan Shao, right?" Xu Qianxue asked me suddenly.

"Yes, I know. I said, "Although there was Guo Jia's theory of 'ten victories and ten defeats' that day, the truth is the truth after all, and now Yuan Shao's troops are ten times that of Cao Cao, and there is plenty of food and grass." Cao Cao was surrounded by strong enemies on all sides, and he was already weak in terms of troops, and now he is in a stalemate in Guandu, and the longer it lasts, the greater the danger. In fact, his defeat was revealed early, but no one wanted to admit it. Now the plan, Cao Cao can only fight quickly, and the only way is to burn the grain and grass of the black nest, Yuan Shaojun's heart is in turmoil, and naturally there is an opportunity. ”

"However, Wuchao now has you and Liu Guanzhang and the three brothers stationed here, and there are heavy troops to guard it, this strategy seems to be very good, but in fact it is not feasible. ”

"Also, even if Cao Chun came with the most elite troops of the Cao army, the tiger and leopard, it would be impossible to capture the black nest in a short time. I nodded, "No way!"

"Then now that you know that the black nest is the key, how are you going to choose?"

I was stunned, and suddenly had a headache, I can't deliberately release water and let Cao Cao burn the grain and grass. Although I am not familiar with the Spring and Autumn Period, I can't do this kind of unkind and righteous thing.

Seeing that it has been a while since we came to the Black Nest, our "rebellion" plan has still not been released, and this kind of nerve-wracking thing is still for Liu Bei to think about. At that moment, I changed my clothes and went to find Liu Bei.

The three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang were also drinking, and they had always been anxious about Meng. I held my back and said my thoughts straightforwardly, and the main idea was one sentence: It's not a matter if it goes on like this, when will the great dream of defending the Han family be realized?

As soon as I said this, the three brothers stopped drinking and looked at me as if a spider had crawled on my face.

I was in a hurry, picked up the flask and took a few sips, and said, "Are you talking?"

Liu Bei came to his senses at this time, coughed lightly and said, "Brother Xian, we are also here to calculate this matter." You sit down first, and we'll find a way to come out. ”

I looked at him and seemed to be confident, so I sat down at once, and my eyes were suspicious, not knowing what he could do. Liu Bei said: "At present, Yuan Cao and the two have been facing each other in Guandu for a year, Xiliang Ma Teng, Jingzhou Liu Biao, and Jiangdong Sun Quan are all in a wait-and-see attitude. Even if I waited to go to Jingzhou, Liu Biao couldn't keep Jingzhou. Therefore, the only way to do this today is to 'bet'. ”

As soon as he said this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both had serious faces. "What's the bet?" I asked.

"Whoever wins!" Liu Bei said. "Judging from the current situation, this battle should be won by Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao is narrow-minded, generous on the outside and suspicious on the inside, and only his relatives and children are appointed. He and Yuan Shu were originally the same raccoon dogs. Therefore, the question is whether Cao Cao will usurp the Han dynasty? Brother Xian, you are most familiar with Cao Cao, in your opinion?"

"No, it won't. I said without thinking. On the one hand, it was out of trust in Cao Cao, and he repeatedly stated to me that he would never commit usurpation; on the other hand, although I was not good at studying history, I had also traveled back in time, and Cao Cao really did not establish himself as emperor.

"Well, Brother Xian and I agree that although Cao Cao is cunning, he has no second thoughts about the Han court. The emperor is in Xudu, but he will be safe and sound. Liu Bei said.

He glanced at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and continued: "Yu Private, we have no place now, if Yuan Shao occupies the north, the north will be unprecedentedly stable, we are just Yuan Shao's staff, and we will not be reused." However, if Cao Cao won the battle of Guandu and occupied the north, most of the army's morale was not stable, and it would take time to govern. Moreover, Liaodong in the north is not very peaceful, which also gives us an opportunity to take advantage of. Within three years, it is expected that Cao Cao will not attack the south, and we will always want Jingzhou as the foundation, and then we will act cheaply. ”

I nodded, "That's right." Brother Liu, I will listen to you whatever you say. What do we do now?"

Liu Bei said: "Let Cao Cao burn the grain of the black nest!"
