Chapter 121 This is so appropriate, Ziyuan’s clever plan

Jizhou, Yecheng.

Yuan Shao read the letter carefully several times and gave it to the counselors to read. Liang Cheng also told the whole story.

"Do you think it was really Cao Mengde who did this?" Yuan Shao asked as he inspected the crowd.

"It's very possible." Bijia Tian Feng answered first, "Have you forgotten, General? Previously, Cao Cao proposed Liu Bei as General Zuo and Marquis Mouping, and asked Taifu Kong to name Liu Bei as Qingzhou Mu. Cao Cao did this because he wanted to

He used the general's help to kill Liu Bei. However, Cao Cao did not expect that Liu Bei would be willing to hand over Qingzhou Mu and other seals. This plan failed, so he tried to frame the blame again."

Of course Yuan Shao remembered this and wrote a letter to mock Cao Cao.

"It's just that Cao Mengde has no big grudge against Liu Xuande, why would he do this?" Yuan Shao didn't quite understand.

Although Liu Bei once helped Tao Qian resist Cao Cao, Cao Cao first offered Liu Bei the title of General Zhendong, then General Zuo and Marquis Mouping, and Liu Bei accepted them all.

The relationship between the two is not a good one, but they are not mortal enemies. Why did Cao Cao frame Liu Bei again and again?

"General, I think Cao Cao has two intentions for doing this." Tian Feng said, "First, he sees that Liu Bei has great ambitions and is afraid of future troubles, so he wants to get rid of him as soon as possible. Cao Cao's troops are in Yanzhou and Yuzhou

, unable and nameless to attack Liu Bei, we had no choice but to use our hands to destroy Liu Bei many times."

"The second is to provoke us into a fight with Liu Bei. Although Liu Bei is weak and has less than 10,000 soldiers, he still has brave generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Tai Shi Ci. He also has Zhou Xing to plot and win the hearts of the people of Qingzhou. But Gongsun Zan of Youzhou is still there

, Black Mountain bandits are constantly intruding. If we attack Liu Bei, it will be difficult to attack with all our strength. I am afraid that it will be difficult to destroy them for a while. If we fight for a long time, it will be as Cao Cao wishes."

"Cao Cao took the emperor to command the princes and made Xu County the capital. Zhang Xiu was in Nanyang. He first surrendered and then rebelled, killing his eldest son, which was a big problem for Cao Cao. Yuan Shu was in Huainan and Lu Bu was in Xuzhou, which often made Cao Cao uneasy. Today's world

, the strongest person is the general, the only person Cao Cao is afraid of is also the general. If the general fights with Liu Bei, he will have no time to look south, and Cao Cao can peacefully attack Zhang Xiu, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and others."

"In addition, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan have an old relationship, but they seem to have no contact with each other now. Cao Cao may also want Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan to truly connect with each other, so as to hold us back and buy him time."

Yuan Shao nodded frequently, feeling that what Tian Feng said was indeed reasonable.

Shen Pei and Feng Ji Xu You also nodded in agreement. Only Guo Tu smiled coldly and said, "When Tian Biejia said this, he meant that Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan had no contact with each other? They no longer wanted to seize the state?"

"From Youzhou to Beihai, you have to pass through the two counties of Bohai and Pingyuan. If they communicate with each other frequently, they will be discovered. At present, there should be no contact between the two. If they are connected, Liaodong Gongsundu should not

Will march to capture Donglai. As for whether Liu Bei has the intention to seize the state, it is difficult to say. Now it depends on whether he is really willing to hand over two million yuan and 50,000 stone grain. If he does, he may not have the intention to seize the state. If he refuses,

If they want to, then they must have this intention and must immediately send out troops to attack." Tian Feng replied.

Yuan Shao gently stroked his short beard, nodded and said: "Well, maybe we really blamed Liu Xuande wrongly. He abandoned Xuzhou and came here. How could he want to capture Qingzhou? If he wanted to capture it, he should capture Xuzhou. I just didn't expect that Liu Xuande would be so popular among the people.

, even Cao Cao’s men are willing to sacrifice their family’s lives to save him!”

Regarding this, Yuan Shao was also envious, jealous, and felt very unhappy.

"General, we may have wrongly blamed Liu Bei, but we will definitely not wrongly blame Cao Cao. We should prepare troops, horses, food and grass, and wait until Cao Cao sends troops to attack Zhang Xiu. Then immediately send troops to attack Xudu and welcome the emperor to Yecheng. Then we can hold the emperor hostage and order the world.

, the four seas can be determined by the subordinates." Tian Feng advised seriously.

There was hesitation on Yuan Shao's face, and he answered after a moment: "Now that Gongsun Zan is still in Youzhou, and Zhang Yan, the Black Mountain bandit, has repeatedly invaded, it may not be appropriate to send troops at this time. Besides, Liang Cheng's words may not be credible. What is this letter about?"

It is unclear whether it was written by Cao Cao or Gongsun Zan, so how can we easily send troops?"

Guo Tu followed closely: "Yes, we can't just rely on the words of the soldier who sent the message. We must first find out whether it was really Cao Cao's doing before we can discuss sending troops."

"How to verify it?" asked the judge.

"You can be tortured." Guo Tu responded.

"It's useless," Tian Feng followed. "If the person who sent the message is really Gongsun Zan's person and deliberately fabricates lies to frame Cao Cao, then he must have a death wish and the torture will be useless. If he is really Cao Cao's person, the truth will be revealed at this time.

, then he should also know that he will die. What can be learned from a person who knows that he will die by torture?"

"How do we know he won't tell if he hasn't been tortured yet?"

"Under torture, what he says may not be credible."

"Then how do you want to verify it?"

Xu You watched Guo Tu and Tian Feng arguing. At this time, he twirled his short beard and chuckled: "I have an idea. Maybe I can know whose subordinate this person is."

"Zi Yuan, tell me quickly."

Yuan Shao felt a headache when he saw his subordinates arguing. Although Xu You didn't talk much, he always came up with good suggestions.

"Since this person is said to be Cao Cao's person, it is better to send him to Xudu together with the letter and see how Cao Cao will deal with it and reply. If he is really Cao Cao's person, Cao Cao will kill him in anger. If not, Cao Cao should kill him.

Send him back to Yecheng or let him go."

"Hahaha, this is so appropriate, Ziyuan has a brilliant plan!"

Yuan Shao smiled happily.

This messenger is not important to Yuan Shao at all. It does not matter whether he is alive or dead. Send him to Xudu so that Cao Cao can see him and the letter and know what he is saying.

If he is really the person sent by Cao Cao, he will definitely behead him out of anger, and even kill all his family members.

If not, Cao Cao would have a clear conscience and send him back to Yecheng.

If this is the case, it may be confirmed that he is Gongsun Zan's man and deliberately framed the blame on Cao Cao. Then we should prepare to send troops to attack Liu Bei.

Feng Ji, Ju Shou and others all agreed to send Liang Cheng to Xudu.

Yuan Shao immediately sent someone to escort Liang Cheng and take the letter to Xudu.

Cao Cao and Guo Jia originally thought that their strategy of framing the blame was foolproof and would definitely allow Yuan Shao to send troops to attack Liu Bei.

After Yuan Shao uses troops in Qingzhou, Gongsun Zan may send troops to fight Yuan Shao and contain the troops in Jizhou, so that he can conquer Zhang Xiu, Lu Bu and others with peace of mind.

But after waiting and waiting, not only did not receive the news that Yuan Shao would send troops to attack Liu Bei, but he did receive a letter from Liang Chenghe.

The people and letters I sent out are back in my hands.
