"Bump!" The table in front of him was overturned by Cao Cao, and the letters on it were scattered all over the floor.

"Untrustworthy villains! Lu Bu and Wei Xu, these two untrustworthy villains! I shouldn't have believed them in the first place and declared war! How dare you betray your trust and deceive me? I will kill you!" Cao Cao roared angrily.

What a hatred in Cao Cao's heart! It took so much to appease the tiger like Lu Bu, but now it's good, it's all in vain and he got so many benefits in vain!

Cao Cao bribed Wei Xu and agreed to give him a thousand gold coins as long as Lu Bu promised not to invade. If he no longer had to cede a county, he would give him another thousand gold coins. But now that the land of a thousand gold coins and a county had just been handed over, Wei Xu and Lu Bu regretted it at the same time.

.

Xun Yu also looked a little ugly: "My lord, Jiangdong sent envoys to persuade Lu Bu. It is said that the property they brought was dozens of times that of us. Wei Xu and Lu Bu must have decisively defected because of this."

When Cao Cao heard this, his face darkened: "Dozens of times! Yuan Gongdao has too much money and no place to spend it, right? This much money is enough to arm an army of tens of thousands. Is he crazy?"

Xun Yu sighed softly: "My lord, I'm afraid the wealth in Jiangdong is far beyond our imagination. With so much money, even if Yuan Shao wants to take it out, he would have to break his muscles and bones. But Yuan Gongli can take it out easily, I will wait for him."

The vigilance should be raised to another level.”

"However, Yuan Jiujiu's move is understandable. After all, the Yuan Army surrounded by us exceeds 100,000 people. This is basically all the remaining infantry of Yuan Jiujiu in Jiangdong. Yuan Jiujiu will never sit back and watch such a combat force be wiped out.

Crazy people are also normal people.”

"What's more, Lu Bu was originally a pawn supported by Yuan Shu in order to prevent his lord from becoming powerful and to stabilize the situation in the Central Plains. Now that we and Liu Bei are powerful, it is not surprising that Yuan Shu provides such assistance to Lu Bu."

As Xun Yu thought, if it was just to persuade Lu Bu to send troops, Yuan Shu did not need to provide so much money. Yuan Shu did this just to make Lu Bu stronger and form a tripartite force with Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

After being calculated this time, Yuan Shu saw it. He must be cautious about the two heroes Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and cannot slack off at all. If he doesn't cause trouble for them, they will have to cause trouble for themselves. So Lu Bu, who is a bit stupid,

It became Yuan Shu's best choice.

Compared with the wily Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the brave and foolhardy Lu Bu was much easier to deal with. Moreover, the two sides were far apart from each other and there was no conflict of interest. Yuan Shu simply directly supported this guy.

"Yuan Jiujiu is really big-hearted. Aren't you afraid of raising tigers in this way?" Cao Cao said bitterly. If Yuan Shu resorted to this move, his life would be difficult in the future.

"Wen Ruo, do you think we should withdraw our troops and go back to defend?" Cao Cao is now very worried that he and Yuan Shu will fight to the death, but in the end, Lu Bu will take advantage of him and reap the benefits, isn't he crying blindly?

"No! Lord, since we have already sent out troops, wouldn't it be playing into Yuan Shu's hands to come back in such a dejected manner?" Xun Yu stopped him directly: "If our army retreats, it will be tantamount to betraying Liu Bei's army. We will try to make an alliance in the future.

It is even more impossible. For the sake of the overall situation, the lord must not withdraw his troops."

This alliance between Cao and Liu was entirely brokered by Xun Yu and Xun Yue, and was already very fragile. If Cao Cao did this kind of thing just after the alliance started, it would be even more impossible to unite to deal with Yuan Shu in the future.

"But Xuzhou only has an army of 30,000 people. How can it stop this tiger like Lu Bu?" Cao Cao said uneasily.

Although Lu Bu is not a hero, his title as the best military general in the world is universally recognized! When it comes to leading troops in battle, even Cao Cao, who has many powerful generals under his command, dare not say that he can defeat him with the same strength. What's more, Cao Cao is now strong on the outside and weak on the inside.

There are not enough troops.

Xuzhou has only 30,000 troops, and it has just experienced a great war, and the people are uncertain. No matter how powerful Cao Ren is, he may not be able to hold it. Cao Cao cannot go to support, so he can accept the loss of Xuzhou, but if Cao Cao loses his hometown Yanzhou, it will be over.

Xun Yu thought for a while and said: "With General Cao Ren's ability, it will definitely not be a problem to sustain the army for more than half a month. Before that, as long as the two Yuan armies on the Nanyang battlefield are eliminated, the lord will be able to free up his hands to support Xuzhou."

"Isn't this a bit too risky?" Cao Cao frowned: "If we don't send Xia Houyuan's army back to garrison now, Jiujiang is just an enclave anyway, and it will be useless. Xuzhou is more important!"

"No!" Xun Yu rejected Cao Cao's idea without even thinking about it.

"The occupation of Jiujiang is not for this territory, but to cut off Yuzhou's retreat. If Xiahou Yuan's army withdraws, Yuan's army in Yuzhou will be completely liberated. If they advance, they can take a detour to support Nanyang, and if they retreat, they can retreat to Jiangdong. In this way,

All the calculations we have been waiting for have come to nothing and are absolutely undesirable."

"Lord, we must endure it. We must believe in Xiahou Dun and General Cao Chun. As long as the Yuan army on the Nanyang battlefield is eliminated in a short time, we can spare our hands to deal with everything. And Liu Bei is also patient like us and withdraws at this time.

If Yuzhou is captured in one battle, we will be doomed."

Xun Yu's attitude was very resolute. Xun Yu was very determined when he made this plan with Xun Yue. Liu Bei was gambling with all his wealth, and why wasn't Cao Cao the same? One wrong move, and Cao Cao might come back.

He returned to the situation he was in when he first came to Yanzhou, with nothing but nothing.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei are now grasshoppers on a rope, both prospering and losing. Xun Yu had also thought of the current dire situation at the beginning, but facing a terrifying enemy like Yuan Shu, Xun Yu could only choose to risk it all.

.

Cao Cao turned around and looked at the map on the wall. The interlocking distribution of forces proved the danger of the current situation.

After staring at Nanyang and Xuzhou for a long time, Cao ** closed his eyes and said in a firm tone: "Just do what you said! Now that I have made a bet, I will lose completely and be willing to lose!"

"

Looking at Cao Cao's slightly tired back, Xun Yu felt warm in his heart and said firmly with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, I am 80% sure that I can win! This time I will definitely make Yuan Shu hate Yuzhou!"

"I believe in you, Wen Ruo!"

Xun Yu's leaving figure trembled slightly: "Thank you, lord!"

Looking at Xun Yu's leaving back, Cao Cao raised the corners of his mouth slightly and murmured: "Wen Ruo, just watch! I, Cao Mengde, will definitely become the Duke of Zhou of the Han Dynasty as you wish!"

How could Cao Cao not see Xun Yu's thoughts with his meticulous mind? When Liu Xie was assassinated, Xun Yu looked like a walking corpse, which was absolutely chilling.

From then on, Cao Cao knew that Xun Yu was not really loyal to him, but to the Han Dynasty. Although Cao Cao was sincere towards the Han Dynasty at that time, he still felt a little resentful about it.

At this time, he had no intention of replacing the Han Dynasty, but the general trend was such that he did not want to be foolishly loyal to the Han Dynasty in its empty name.

Although the former Liu Xie was just an incompetent kid, he was the orthodox Han Dynasty after all. And the emperor now in Chang'an is just a puppet randomly selected by Liu Yu and others to guard against ambitious people like Liu Yan. You let Cao Cao wait like this?

How can a hero be loyal to him?
