Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 235 Cao Liu

Jingzhou and Jiangdong quickly reached an agreement and put it into action. On the other side, brothers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang went to Cao Cao and Yuan Shu respectively, and each of them persuaded the two families to join forces to fight against Lu Bu and temporarily abandon their grievances.

The alliance of the four major princes of the Central Plains is more difficult than Jiangdong and Jingzhou.

After all, both of them may plot against each other, how many thoughts and calculations will there be in the alliance of the four major princes.

"Wen Ruo, you said that this time the alliance will attack Lu Bu, what should we do?" Cao Cao seemed hesitant, looking at Xun Yu and asked.

Compared with Lu Bu, Yuan Shao is actually a greater threat to him. After all, if Lu Bu moves, Yuan Shao cannot sit idly by, but if Yuan Shao moves himself, Lu Bu may also send troops, but there are two possibilities, one is Restricting Yuan Shao's development, attacking Yuan Shao from the rear, making Yuan Shao dare not go south with all his strength, another...

It is also a good idea to fight yourself with Yuan Shao. After all, it is a good idea to send troops from Nanyang, capture Yuzhou and Runan, and sweep Chenliu.

Therefore, it is of no benefit to Cao Cao to fight Lu Bu. If Lu Bu counterattacks instead, Cao Cao will be the first to be unlucky, not to mention Liu Bei and Yuan Shao who are restless in the rear.

Xun Yu, who was looking at the map, raised his head when he heard the words, but instead of answering, he asked, "My lord, if there is a war with Hebei at this time, what are the chances of winning, my lord?"

"What are the chances of winning?" Cao Cao rubbed his temples with a headache. He was sure that if he started a war with Yuan Shao at this moment, Yuan Shu would definitely jump out to help. Yuan Shao was subdued, and even Sun Ce, who was originally his subordinate, also subdued in disguise.

Now Yuan Shu is not as easy to bully as he was a few years ago. If he goes to war with Yuan Shao, he can only form an alliance with Liu Bei, but it is hard to say whether Liu Bei will kill him. After all, the two sides have fought big and small in the past two years. There have been many fights, and the grievances and grievances are unclear. Although Liu Bei has a good reputation, when it comes to interests, it is uncertain.

If he went to war with Yuan Shao at this time, Cao Cao couldn't think of a reason for him to win.

"Wen Ruo, why bother to ask the question?" Cao Cao finally sighed: "At the beginning, there were countless good soldiers and good generals, and Jizhou had a lot of money and food, and there was no worries. If the two of us go to war, Cao...the victory is less and the defeat is more."

In this situation, Cao Cao put gold on his face. In this situation, unless Cao Cao has the ability to win quickly, Yuan Shaoguang will stop his troops at the junction of the two armies, and the consumption will be exhausted. Consume Cao Cao to death.

This is on the premise that Yuan Shu and Liu Bei don't make trouble.

Conversely, even if he was given time to deal with Liu Bei and Yuan Shu first, Cao Cao would not be sure of a quick victory against both of them at the same time.

Unless Liu Bei and Yuan Shu have a brain twitch and do something that would risk the world's disgrace, let Cao Cao have righteousness in his hands, destroy one first, and the remaining one will be easy to deal with.

Unfortunately, there is no such a coincidence. Judging from Yuan Shu's current performance, there is a high probability that it will not. As for Liu Bei, although he is not as powerful as Cao Cao now, Cao Cao can tell that this Liu Bei is definitely a character. As long as he is given a chance, he can do it. Big, the potential threat is greater than Yuan Shu, if there are changes in the world in the future, it may be on this person.

"Since that's the case, there are three major benefits to forming an alliance to fight against Lu." Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao with a serious face.

"So much?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

"One!" Xun Yu nodded, and said solemnly, "You can postpone the battle between my lord and Duke Yuan, so that my lord can have more time to prepare."

Cao Cao nodded, this is what he could think of.

"Second." Xun Yu said again: "My lord, you can give up the land of Chenliu to show your determination to fight against the thieves." Xun Yu said in a deep voice.

"Why?" Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu in confusion.

"Mr. Yuan can go to Bingzhou, Jingxing, and Jiguan to seek Lu. However, these are all small roads. If you want to succeed, you must cross the river and attack. If this alliance is successful, the lord must also let go of Chenliu, Dongjun and other places. , it is better to take the initiative to sell, and leave Chenggao to Duke Yuan to attack, and the Lord will attack Nanyang!"

"Nanyang?" Cao Cao looked at the location of Nanyang on the map, nodded and said, "If you get Nanyang, you will have a place to jump in. Even if the Central Plains is defeated in the future, you will have a way out."

In addition, in this way, Yuan Shao and Lu Bu fought in the most difficult places.

Just think about how difficult Cheng Gao was to fight back then.

Compared with Heluo, Nanyang has at most a complex terrain, but there are no dangerous gates like Chenggao and Yique to be stationed, and it will take more effort to fight the city at most.

"And the third one?" Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and said with a smile, "Wen Ruo said, wouldn't it be Gong Gong and Liu Bei?"

"Precisely, if the call for thieves is launched in the name of Duke Yuan, the two of them will definitely respond to the imperial edict. My lord has no worries. If the situation is not right, I can even..." Xun Yu got up, came to Cao Cao, and gestured on the map for a moment.

It's a bit difficult to win both, but it's okay to take one first.

Cao Cao nodded silently. Xun Yu had counted the outcome of the battle.

"What Wen Ruo said is very suitable for me, but this matter still depends on Benchu's place. I will send someone to send a letter to Benchu ​​to invite Benchu ​​to form an alliance and fight against thieves!" Cao Cao laughed after thinking about the key point. road.

On the other hand, Yuan Shu's side is much simpler. As long as Yuan Shao agrees, he will agree. After all, Yuan Shu's living space is given by Yuan Shao now. He has to hold on to the thigh of his concubine brother, and he doesn't have much autonomy now.

On Xuzhou's side, Liu Bei hesitated in the face of Kuai Yue's lobbying.

"Brother, why hesitate?" Seeing Liu Bei's hesitation, Zhang Fei couldn't help frowning.

"The rank and titles I waited for were all conferred by the imperial court. Now the imperial court has not lost their morality, but we have raised our troops to attack. It is a violation of benevolence and justice." Liu Bei frowned.

Liu Bei was somewhat unable to judge whether he should be with the princes or not.

After all, Lv Bu is different from Dong Zhuo. I have never heard of Lv Bu's act of arrogance. Just because Lv Bu conquered Shu, he launched an army crusade, which is unreasonable in righteousness.

"Brother." Guan Yu stroked his beard, looked at Liu Bei and said, "The situation in the world today is just like the Six Kingdoms and Qin in those days. Yu thought that Lu Bu should be defeated!"

"Second brother is right!" Zhang Fei nodded quickly and said, "Brother, isn't Lu Bu a national traitor? What kind of benevolence and righteousness do you want to talk to a national traitor? Besides, elder brother, the state shepherd's position was conferred by the imperial court, not Lu Bu. We It’s to save the court.”

"Gongtai, what do you think?" Liu Bei smiled wryly, didn't he know these truths? But the question now is whether this is an alliance or not. In fact, he doesn't have much to say. It depends on Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

It's a pity that his two brothers took him too seriously and didn't see the crux of the problem, so he could only look at Chen Gong.

As for why Chen Gong is here, it is a long story. After Chen Gong helped Zhao Wei, he left Shu, but learned that his friend Zhang Miao was dead. Not only Zhang Miao died, but Zang Hong also died because of Yuan Shao He promised to rescue Zhang Chao but openly betrayed, and was eventually trapped to death by Yuan Shao.

The people who started the trouble together in the past fled to the death, Chen Gong hated Cao Cao for being ruthless, and wanted to avenge these dead friends, so he went to Yuan Shu first, but it was a pity that Yuan Shu was really miserable at the time, so Chen Gong suggested several times They were all ignored by Yuan Shu, and it didn't take long for Liu Bei to attack Liu Bei. As a result, Liu Bei took several cities and almost broke Shouchun.

At that time, Yuan Shu not only did not think about it, but also pushed the matter to Chen Gong. The reason was even more absurd. He said that Chen Gong hindered the Lord and depended on whoever was unlucky. .

In fact, Liu Bei is the one Chen Gong despises the most. After all, Liu Bei is better than Lu Bu among the princes today, regardless of his background or qualifications.

But Liu Bei did have something in terms of handling the old men, and he was not overly enthusiastic, but Liu Bei's ideas and ambitions made Chen Gong involuntarily attracted. Finally, under Chen Deng's push, Chen Gong finally joined Liu Bei's command. Became Liu Bei's staff.

Liu Bei also attached great importance to Chen Gong. Whenever Chen Gong offered advice, he would discuss it with Chen Gong in detail. Most of them would use it.

In private, even if he can starve himself, he will never let Chen Gong suffer any grievances. This is the treatment Chen Gong has never received no matter where he is. The contempt for Liu Bei in his heart has gradually grown with the passage of time and his understanding of Liu Bei. After disappearing, he paid homage to the lord and decided to assist Liu Bei in his career.

Seeing Liu Bei's gaze, Chen Gong naturally understood what Liu Bei meant, shook his head and said: "The palace thinks this is not urgent, if Cao Cao refuses, the lord wants to eliminate thieves for the country, and it is difficult to cross this thousand-mile land , In addition, where will the food and grass come from for this labor-intensive expedition? Have the two generals ever thought about it?"

"Then watch Lu Bu take over Shu?" Zhang Fei frowned and looked at Chen Gong.

"No!" Chen Deng laughed and said, "The purpose of the public platform is to ask Mr. Xuande to wait for the time to change. Now that Kuai Zirou is here, there is no reason why the two princes, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, will not move. Yuan Gong nodded, this alliance will be successful!"

Chen Qun nodded silently, then looked at Liu Bei and said, "My lord, if we want to send troops, the food and grass in our treasury are only enough to send 20,000 troops, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to support any more."

Coincidentally, the three counselors Liu Bei relies on most today are all surnamed Chen, but they are not from one family, which is also an inexplicable fate. Liu Bei will occasionally jokingly say: I have three Chens, and everything is safe.

"Twenty thousand is enough, and you can complain to Yuan Shao during the alliance." Chen Gong said about Yuan Shao, always with a bit of a sneer: "As a person, Yuan Shao will definitely show his generosity and give some food and grass to our army. "

Although there are some suspicions of begging, after Cao Cao's massacre, Xuzhou is no longer what it used to be, and it has barely recovered in the past few years. Compared with food and grass, face... If you don't want it, don't, it won't be too late to pick it up later .
