During the administration, Deng Xi shouted loudly.
"The imperial court first suffered the disaster of Dong Zhuo, and then experienced the rebellion of Li Guo. The emperor was covered in dust and was thrown into the road. The ministers were killed and their heads were missing. Cao Sikong cherished the kindness of the emperor and was determined to sweep the world and destroy the bandit Huangjin. Luoyang suffered
After Fen was defeated, he moved the capital to Xu and rebuilt the ancestral temple, so that the emperor's ministers could sleep in peace and have enough food, and the edicts could be distributed throughout the world. Duke Cao is a meritorious minister, so why would he make such a false accusation?"
It has to be said that Cao Cao is still a loyal minister. When the emperor suffered, he was the one who kept the emperor and the court stable.
Later, as his strength continued to grow and his opponents gradually perished, his ambitions grew bigger and bigger, and he even killed the prince and queen, proclaimed himself king, and used the emperor's ceremonial guard.
"My words are indeed alarmist. Let's not talk about Jizhou and Yuan Benzhu. Cao Mengde cannot destroy Jingzhou alone, so how can he abolish the Han's talk of self-reliance."
Kuai Yue then said that he believed that with Cao Cao's current strength, it would be impossible to destroy Jingzhou.
Zhou Ping bowed his hands to everyone: "Excuse me, everyone, in the imperial court now, is the emperor or Cao Cao in charge? Are the edicts issued in accordance with the emperor's wishes or in accordance with Cao Cao's wishes?"
Everyone was silent and no one answered. In fact, they all knew in their hearts that the power of the current court was completely in the hands of Cao Cao.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Zhou Ping added: "Yuan Shu sent Sun Ce to attack Jiangdong and drive away Liu Zhengli, the herdsman of Yangzhou. This was an act of rebellion. My Lord, General Zhendong, upheld justice and sent troops to help Liu Yangzhou. However, Cao Cao not only did not send troops to fight against the rebellion, but took advantage of it.
What is the loyalty of such a person who falsely raises his troops to attack Xuzhou to attack the enemy and help the rebels? Deng Zhizhong said that he has the emperor's kindness and ambition to sweep the world, which is a big mistake. He is causing trouble to the world!"
In fact, at this time, the so-called loyalty is just a fig leaf hanging on everyone's lips, including Zhou Ping. It is simply too difficult to convince others with something that he does not believe in.
At the end of the day, we still have to talk about interests.
"General," when everyone was silent, Zhou Ping turned to Liu Biao and said, "Cao Cao's troops are out, and there are very few guards in Xudu. Before I came here, I passed through Wancheng and met General Zhang Xiu. General Zhang has already agreed.
, willing to join forces with the general to attack Xudu. At the same time, as long as the general asks Jiangxia to send troops to attack Lujiang, Guan Yunchang, who is stationed in Hefei, can lead his troops. Cao Cao takes advantage of Xuzhou's weakness to attack, and we can also take advantage of Xuzhou's weakness.
If you attack in vain, if the capital is destroyed, the general can temporarily move the emperor's capital to Xiangyang, and then move back after Luoyang is rebuilt."
"If the general achieves this feat, he will definitely be the leader of all ministers. The benevolent people in the world will surely come to help him. He will help the general to attack the bandits and wipe out the world. He will achieve unparalleled achievements and be famous throughout the ages!"
"General, this opportunity must not be missed. It will never come back! Now is the time for the general to accomplish great feats. Don't hesitate!" Chen Gong quickly agreed.
Liu Biao thought carefully about what Zhou Ping said and felt that what he said made sense.
If you send troops to conquer Xudu, you can have the emperor in your hands. Just like Cao Cao, he always controls the government. This kind of glory is indeed unmatched by the shepherd of a state.
However, if the emperor is moved to Xiangyang, Yuan Shao will be dissatisfied. If Yuan Shao and Cao Cao join forces to attack, it will be difficult for Jingzhou's troops to resist.
The current emperor is like a treasure that is being fought over by all parties. Without a certain level of strength, it cannot be preserved.
Therefore, with the emperor in his hands, he could have supreme power, but he would also attract many enemy soldiers.
Liu Biao thought for a long time, and finally felt that he could just defend Jingzhou. He didn't want to fight for the world, and he didn't have the ability to fight for it. Moreover, looking at the expressions of the Jingzhou scholars, they didn't want him to send troops to attack Xudu.
"Wen'an,
This matter is not trivial. Let me think about it and give you an answer tomorrow."
Liu Biao did not explicitly refuse. He had to talk to the scholars in Jingzhou about this matter before giving Zhou Ping a definite answer.
"General..." Zhou Ping wanted to persuade him again.
Liu Biao waved his hand: "Go and have a rest. Come back tomorrow."
Zhou Ping had no choice but to say goodbye and go out together with Chen Gong.
"Xidu, what do you think this should be like?"
After Zhou Ping and Chen Gong left, Liu Biao asked Kuai Yue and others.
During the war, Deng Xi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely impossible. If we raise our troops to attack Xu, even if we defeat Xu's capital, where will the emperor return? If we return to Xiangyang, we will definitely attract soldiers from Jizhou. If we return to Luoyang,
, then the Emperor will be in chaos again. This will not save the Emperor, but harm him!"
Han Song, the minister in charge, went on to say: "Song also thinks that we should not send troops to attack Xu. Duke Cao welcomes and protects the emperor, stabilizes the court, and has the ambition to bring peace to the world. If we raise our troops to attack him, I am afraid that the court will be in chaos and the world will be even more unsafe!"
"However, Cao Mengde is now raising his troops to attack Xu. If he does not save it, once Xuzhou is defeated, will he just raise his troops to attack Jingzhou as Zhou Wen'an said?"
Regarding the safety of Jingzhou, Liu Biao was quite worried.
"Haha, General, as long as Xuzhou Liu Xuande is not destroyed, Jingzhou will have no worries." Kuai Yue said with a smile.
Among the people here, in terms of reputation and status, apart from Liu Biao, Kuai Yue is the best.
He used to be the general of Dong Cao, and he was superior to everyone in terms of status and intelligence. Even Cao Cao wrote to Xun Yu after he won Jingzhou, saying, "I am not happy to win Jingzhou, but I am happy to win Kuai."
Alien ears".
Liu Biao also respected him very much, and along with everyone, waited to hear him continue.
"This time, Duke Cao's attack on Xu was to take advantage of a weak point. If Liu Xuande hadn't raised his troops to attack Yuan Highway and gathered his troops in Xuzhou, Duke Cao would never have sent his troops. Liu Xuande was an ambitious man and was good at using his soldiers, so he won Zhang Zhang's victory.
Fei Guan Yu's bravery was opposed by Wen An Yuanlong and others. Although Zhou Wen'an was young, his wisdom was as deep as the sea and he could discern the current situation. He had already expected that Duke Cao would attack Xu, so Xuzhou was well prepared."
"For this reason, although Duke Cao took advantage of a weak point to attack, there was no gain. Pengcheng was difficult to defeat, and Xiapi was even more difficult to conquer. Although Liu Xuande gave up Lujiang and withdrew his troops to protect Xuzhou, he was unwilling to abandon Jiujiang and still ordered Guan Yu and others to garrison Hefei.
With Liyang, it can be seen that Xuzhou's power is not weak. As long as Liu Xuande transfers Jiujiang troops back to Xuzhou, Xuzhou can be protected."
"Cao Gong cannot take Xuzhou, so he has no time to take care of Jingzhou. In the next few years, I am afraid that Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande will be unable to compete with each other. However, Liu Xuande was reluctant to abandon Jiujiang at this time, and uukanshu.com www.uukanshu.com only led a small number of soldiers to rescue him.
There are still variables in Xuzhou. General, we might as well follow Zhou Wen'an's words and send soldiers from Jiangxia to help, harass Lujiang, lure Sun Bofu to return to protect Xuzhou, and allow the soldiers from Jiujiang to return to protect Xuzhou. In this way, Xuzhou can be protected and Jingzhou will be protected.
No worries."
As soon as Kuai Yue finished speaking, everyone agreed and agreed to his proposal.
They did not want to send troops to attack Xudu, but they were willing to send troops to help harass Lujiang.
Although they do not believe that Cao Cao will destroy Jingzhou, it is also a good thing for Jingzhou to suppress Cao Cao's strength. As long as Xuzhou is saved, Jingzhou will be saved, and at the same time, it will not offend Liu Bei or sell a favor.
Kuai Yue's proposal was very much in line with Liu Biao's wishes, and he immediately smiled and said: "What Yidu said is just as I wanted, then let Jiangxia soldiers and horses attack Lujiang and help Liu Xuande defend Xuzhou. As for sending troops to attack Xu, I won't mention it."
."
Liu Biao said this, and everyone was very satisfied and agreed. Even Liu Xian, who had been silent, felt that this was the best.
After Zhou Ping and Chen Gong left the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion, they felt that they would have to wait another day to get a reply, so they wanted to take this opportunity to visit someone.
So he asked Chen Gong: "Gongtai, you have been in Jingzhou for more than a year. Have you ever heard of Gan Ning and Gan Xingba?"
