Wang Gong really knows very little about Liu Bei. He didn't warm wine to kill Hua Xiong, nor did the three heroes fight Lu Bu. The popularity of Liu, Guan, and Zhang is still too low. Except for some caring people, no one else really knows about it.
"My lord, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, were from Zhuo County, Zhuo County. They were the queens of King Jing of Zhongshan. He was famous for his benevolence and righteousness. He and Gongsun Zan, the right governor of Beiping, once worshiped under the sect of Lu Zhi. After he challenged Dong, he temporarily lived under the command of Gongsun Zan.
When Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan were fighting for Jizhou, he was appointed by Gongsun Zan as the governor of Bohai. His two sworn brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, were both brave and courageous. If they could come to help, even the Yellow Turbans would have nothing to fear."
As Wang Gong's counselor, Sun Feng had an in-depth investigation into potential enemies. As Liu Bei, as the governor of Yangping, he naturally paid special attention to them.
"Yangping Liu Bei, okay, let's make two preparations. In addition to Yuan Shu, send two letters of distress to Liu Bei and Cao Cao respectively, saying that whoever can repel the Yellow Turbans and save the people of Dongjun will be willing to hand over Dongjun."
Sun Feng was stunned by Wang Gong's words. You can't resist even one of them, so why are you trying to attract two at once? What do you mean?
"Lord? What does this mean?"
"Sucheng, it is said that one is an enemy and two is a friend. If Cao Cao and Liu Bei come alone, it will be difficult for us to resist them. But if two people come together, one peach will kill two soldiers.
Take the land of Dongjun and win a fierce battle between Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Only in this way can we keep Dongjun intact."
I have to say that Wang Gong's move of retreating into advancement was a clever move. No matter who Liu Bei or Cao Cao defeated the Yellow Turbans, as long as the other person was present, they would be embarrassed to take advantage of others' danger and forcefully accept the land of Dongjun.
"My lord is really Zhang Liang's rebirth. He can think of such a clever plan. I'm convinced."
Hearing that Wang Gong had made such an arrangement, Sun Feng couldn't help but admire him. Although his lord was a rookie most of the time, this strategy alone was clever enough.
"Go quickly."
"promise."
Two fast horses rushed out of the city, one riding north and the other south toward Liu Bei and Cao Cao respectively.
The administrative seat of Dongjun is Puyang, the administrative seat of Yangping County is Guantao, and Cao Cao is resting in Pingqiu, Chenliu. The distance between the two sides is not much different, Cao Cao is closer, and he rides a fast horse in the evening of the next day. Pingqiu City.
Cao Cao looked at the urgent report sent to him and called all his generals to him.
"Wang Hu, the governor of Dongjun, wrote to me to rescue Puyang. He said that if I can save Puyang, I will hand over Dongjun. What do you think?"
Cao Cao read the contents of Wang Gong's letter to the people below.
"My lord, now the Yellow Turbans are raging in Dongjun and Weijun. Weijun is the territory of Jizhou. Yuan Shu is so powerful that these Yellow Turbans are not of concern. However, Wang Gong, the prefect of Dongjun, is brave and cowardly. Facing the Yellow Turbans' invasion, it will be difficult to resist. This is credible. letter."
Cao Ren looked at Cao Cao, a ray of light flashed in his eyes.
"My lord, since what Zixiao said is true, although Dongjun is small, it is connected to the north and south. Moreover, my lord now has soldiers and no officials. He is like a duckweed on the water with no foundation. It would be wonderful if he could get the land of a county."
Le Jin also nodded after hearing Cao Ren's words. Cao Cao is now like a wandering wild ghost with no base. If he can get a county to rest, then Cao Cao's strength will definitely increase explosively.
"Well, I agree."
"I also agree, it's just a yellow scarf, it can be fought."
"Go, lord, don't hesitate."
Cao Ren and Yue Jin made suggestions, and the rest, such as Li Dian, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun and others, all agreed.
"Gentlemen, how could this king, who is cowardly in character but greedy for power and profit, give up Dongjun? There must be some unknown secrets in this. Let me think about it."
Although all the generals strongly agreed to send troops, Cao Cao had many doubts.
"Yuan Rang, later you go and have a drink with the envoy asking for help. After getting him drunk, try to find out the inside story. See how many letters Wang Gong sent and who he asked for help."
After thinking for a while, Cao Cao asked Xiahou Dun to go find the envoy asking for help and have a drink with him.
"promise."
Xiahou Dun nodded, saying that Xiahou Dun would not dare to say anything to other people, but when it came to drinking, he had never failed anyone.
An hour later, Xiahou Dun rushed to Cao Cao again.
"My lord, please clarify. This time Wang Gong sent a total of two letters asking for help. One came to you, and the other went north to Yangping. It is said that he went to Yangping prefect Liu Bei and Liu Xuande."
After hearing Xiahou Dun's words, Cao Cao hurriedly came to Kanyu, stroking his beard and staring at Kanyu without moving.
"Well, you Wang Gong, you actually had this idea."
After watching for a while, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly shone with light, and he already understood Wang Gong's little abacus.
"Lord, what do you say?"
After hearing Cao Cao's words, Xiahou Dun's eyes lit up. He, a brother of his family, would never disappoint anyone. Although he was ambushed and defeated in pursuit of Dong Zhuo, it did not affect Cao Cao's status in his heart at all.
"Yuan Rang, have you ever heard of the plan of two peaches killing three men?"
Hearing Xiahou Dun's question, Cao Cao smiled.
"I know, but it's not the same as the one in front of me."
Although Xiahou Dun knew that two peaches killed three soldiers, he didn't understand what Cao Cao meant.
"Yuan Rang, this Wang Gong must be from one county and two men. The letter Liu Bei must have received is the same as mine. As long as the siege of Dongjun can be solved, I will give it to you with both hands.
As expected after receiving the letter, Liu Bei and I will raise troops at starry night to attack the Yellow Turbans in Dongjun. By then, both sides will have troops at the city gates. It will be difficult for anyone to ask for the land of Dongjun when the other side is present.
Take ten thousand steps back and say that even if I go to ask for it, Wang Hu can still push it to Liu Bei and let me fight with Liu Bei. If two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. In this way, Wang Hu's Dongjun will be saved."
Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Xiahou Dun glanced at Xiahou Dun's neck.
"Liu Bei wants to fight against someone but he is still afraid of him. Why don't he just kill him along with the Yellow Turban? Then Wang Gong will have nothing to say."
To be honest, Xiahou Dun didn't know who Liu Bei was, but what if he knew it? Anyone who dared to block his lord's advancement would be dead.
"Yuan Rang, this Liu Bei is not a simple man. He and Gongsun Zan once studied under the sect of Lu Zhi and Lu Gong. He also had two sworn brothers, Guan and Zhang, under his command. Both of them were heroes. In my opinion, you and Zi Lian are not the same.
opponent."
Although Cao Cao didn't know Liu Bei as well as Sun Feng, they had met once when the Eighteenth Princes attacked Dong Zhuo, and Guan and Zhang left a deep impression on him.
"I don't believe it, my lord, why would you let someone else's ambition destroy your own prestige?"
Hearing Cao Cao say that he was not as good as Guan and Zhang, Xiahou Dun's temper suddenly flared up again.
