Chapter 117 Two powerful aids, defecting to each other
Chapter 117 Two powerful reinforcements turn against each other
"Hide it from brother, hide it from brother..."
Seeing Cao Cao's dazed expression while wandering in a dream, Yi Xiaotian patted him on the shoulder repeatedly.
"Ah...ah..."
Cao Cao came back to his senses and realized that he had lost his composure. He was so happy that he felt a little carried away.
"Ahem..." Cao Cao cleared his throat and spread his hands. "Brother Yi, continue talking? I'm listening carefully here..."
"Here is Jiangdong Little Overlord? Brother Hao, do you understand?" Yi Xiaotian asked.
"I understand, I understand." Cao Cao said yes again and again. It was because he solved the problem of Sun Bofu, the little overlord in Jiangdong, that he became a little carried away again, and suddenly became the most reliable ally from his original opponent.
The chance of winning this battle is at least 30%!
"Then let's continue talking about Lu Bu." Yi Xiaotian took out another tea bowl and pushed it to the middle of the table. "Brother Bao was worried that Lu Bu would come to Yuan Shu's aid. He just heard the news that Yuan Shu came to propose marriage and wanted his son to marry Lu Bu's daughter.
.”
Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded.
Yes, the marriage between Yuan and Lu is no small matter.
If Xuzhou and Shouchun are horns with each other, even if Cao Cao has Sun Ce's help, Shouchun City may not be easy to attack.
Seeing Cao Cao's slight frown, Yi Xiaotian smiled lightly. "Brother Hi, you are worrying too much. It is absolutely impossible for Lu Bu to come to Yuan Shu's aid!"
Hmm...impossible?
Cao Cao was stunned and had some doubts in his heart.
Yi Xiaotian's words came to mind one after another.
"First of all, Lu Bu suffered a loss when dealing with Yuan Shu."
Yi Xiaotian said in detail. "I remember that when Lu Bu joined forces with Yuan Shu to attack Liu Bei and capture Xuzhou, Yuan Shu promised to give Lu Bu 300,000 grains of grain and grass. But what was the final result? Lu Bu conspired to capture the city of Xuzhou and rushed to it.
Liu Bei left, but Yuan Shu also withheld the 300,000 bushels of grain and grass! Because of this, Lu Bu felt extremely disgusted with Yuan Shu."
Speaking of this, Cao Cao nodded.
This is Xuzhou's intelligence. Yuan Shu betrayed his trust and withheld 300,000 hu of grain and grass given to Lu Bu. Cao Cao also heard about this from the intelligence.
Because of this matter, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu were still fighting. No, they had just calmed down for a few months.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao was about to ask a question, but Yi Xiaotian's voice sounded again.
"There are already rifts between Yuan and Lu, but this is just one of them; secondly, reputation is a good thing. Even if it doesn't make people famous, no one would be willing to be infamous for thousands of years!"
Yi Xiaotian said with a smile, and the person he was referring to was obviously Lu Bu.
"Brother Hide, think about it. Lu Bu's previous execution of Dong Zhuo was indeed driven by profit. However, it cannot be denied that he did a practical thing for the Han Dynasty and killed the traitor prime minister."
"For this reason, the court of the Han Dynasty thought of Lu Bu's kindness, and the emperor also thought of his kindness. Lu Bu always regarded himself as the benefactor of the Han Dynasty..."
"Just imagine, a guy who calls himself a benefactor of the Han Dynasty, what will he do when faced with a false emperor? Will he easily abandon his previous reputation as a supporter of the Han Dynasty? Just to support a treacherous villain who once deceived him
Well?"
"What's more, even though Lu Bu is simple-minded, he hesitates and makes wrong decisions when encountering problems. His advisers are not stupid. Brother Bao feels that Yuan Shu wants to marry Lu Bu and abandon the Han Dynasty and bring infamy. Lu Bu
Will Chen Gong, the chief adviser under his command, agree?"
"With Chen Gong's wisdom, he was able to make clear decisions about right and wrong. He would not only persuade Lu Bu to break with Yuan Shu, but also persuade Lu Bu to send troops to conquer Yuan Shu. After all, this was a man who could express himself in front of the emperor and win a good reputation in the world.
It’s a perfect opportunity, not to mention..."
Yi Xiaotian deliberately played it off, he slowly raised the wine bowl, took a sip, and talked a lot, his lips were still a little chapped.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment.
Chen Gong is familiar to him.
Cao Cao also felt that if he really had to go to Da Fei, Chen Gong would definitely make the wisest decision to break with the false emperor Yuan Shu.
There is no doubt about this.
After thinking about this, Cao Cao's mood became even brighter, and he pricked up his ears and continued to listen.
Brother Yi seems to have mentioned what's more? What's more? Is there anything else that has been overlooked?
Seeing Cao Cao's modest look, Yi Xiaotian put down his wine bowl and continued talking.
"What's more, it's not like Brother Hi didn't know that Lu Bu only has a daughter, her name is Lu Lingqi, and now she is working with iron in my villa! Yuan Shu's dog son wants to marry her? How is it possible? Even if Lu Bu would agree, he would also
I can’t hand over this precious daughter!”
Huo...ah...this...
Cao Cao slapped his forehead violently. He had been thinking about other things, but he had forgotten this most crucial part.
Brother Yi is right. Lu Lingqi is in Youjian Villa now?
If Yuan Shu wants to marry, should he marry his sister?
Ha ha ha ha…
Cao Cao couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.
As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. He was too concerned about the decisive battle with Yuan Shu, so he ignored all the details...
Darling, this marriage has already been aborted before it even started. Yuan Shu is probably dreaming of eating stars - it's amazing, isn't it?
Cao Cao couldn't help but shake his head. Through the window, he could faintly see Lu Lingqi sweating profusely in the blacksmith shop next to the wine shop...
This girl is very strong and can forge weapons with style. She probably hasn't realized yet that a thief has touched her mind?
However, being in a wine shop is very safe, comfortable and stable. Except for Brother Yi, there is no need to worry about anyone caring about her body!
Come on, with a few words from Brother Yi, the problem between Sun Ce and Lu Bu that troubled Cao Cao was suddenly solved.
Without Lu Bu and Sun Ce's two powerful reinforcements, or in other words, these two powerful reinforcements defected to Cao Cao's side, Yuan Shu was already half in despair.
As for the other princes...
Just when Cao Cao thought of this, Yi Xiaotian happened to mention another prince.
"Brother, in fact, if Cao Cao were to attack Yuan Shu, he would not only be able to use Sun Ce and Lu Bu, but also someone. With just an imperial edict from the emperor, he would definitely lead his army to attack Shouchun as soon as possible and lead the charge for our army!"
Hmm...there are still people like this?
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously, "Which prince is Brother Yi talking about?"
"Liu Bei and Liu Xuande who are stationed in Xiaopei, Xuzhou!" Yi Xiaotian took out the third wine bowl and pushed it to the middle...
Yi Xiaotian knows Liu Bei very well.
To study the history of the Three Kingdoms, it is indispensable to study Liu Bei in depth.
Of course, this cannot avoid a topic - can Liu Bei do it?
This topic is enough for keyboard historians from all over the world to debate for three days and three nights.
but…
Yi Xiaotian's understanding of Liu Bei is obviously deeper. The reason why he is sure that Liu Bei will attack Yuan Shu is because he has a thorough understanding of Liu Bei's thoughts.
Liu Bei, who claimed to be a descendant of the Han Dynasty, always paid attention to reputation. This was also his best weapon to gain a foothold in the Central Plains.
Regardless of his own reputation or his status as a descendant of the Han Dynasty, even if Cao Cao did not take the initiative to invite Liu Bei, Liu Bei would definitely attack Yuan Shu and fight Yuan Shu to the death. This is the foundation of his foothold and the reputation he must fight for.
Even if the army is defeated, even if the army is completely routed.
Of course, in fact, Liu Bei didn't have many soldiers at all, and he didn't have much weight to lose.
However, he still has strong generals under him. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both powerful enemies. With their help, the attack on Shouchun will be an extra boost.
…
Phew, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande?
Hearing this name, Cao Cao was also stunned.
To be honest, Liu Bei was too weak. According to reliable information, he only had more than 3,000 troops in Xiaopei City, so Cao Cao didn't pay much attention to him.
But even though he had few soldiers and little food, he had not failed to pay tribute every year since the emperor returned from the east.
The food and utensils dedicated to the emperor were selected from the best. With such sentiments, Brother Yi said that he could help conquer the false emperor Yuan Shu and help the Han Dynasty. It was really possible!
Cao Cao nodded heavily...
Then, he looked around the table. Four large bowls had now surrounded the large bowl in the middle. Cao Cao could feel that the large bowl in the middle was already so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
These four large bowls correspond to Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei respectively. The one who is surviving in the middle is the pseudo-emperor Yuan Shu...
Surrounded like this, how could Yuan Shu have any hope of survival?
Phew...Cao Cao took a long breath...
It seems that this battle has a guaranteed chance of victory without having to fight.
However, Cao Cao is a thoughtful person. He went through Yi Xiaotian's deployment in his mind again. It was exactly this time that Cao Cao really found a point that he had overlooked -
——Chen Guo…
Yes, this is the Chen State who has a hundred thousand troops, never participates in the disputes between princes, but has a good relationship with Yuan Shu.
Sandwiched between Xudu and Shouchun, it not only occupies the most advantageous food route, but also reveals its bloodthirsty fangs at any time. If this point is not resolved, even if he conquers Shouchun, Cao Cao will feel uneasy!
With this in mind, Cao Cao slowly opened his eyes and stared blankly at Yi Xiaotian, with a hint of urgency in his eyes.
