Chapter 174: Help people to the end and send Buddha to the West
"Brother Hide, Mr. Jia, haven't you ever thought about bringing Liu Bei to Cao Cao's side?" Yi Xiaotian asked directly.
"I've thought... I've thought about it." Cao Cao's answer was a little vague, "But Liu Bei is a man with great ambitions and is not someone who can be inferior to others. It will be extremely difficult to recruit him!"
"Why recruit?"
Yi Xiaotian raised his hand and interrupted Cao Cao's words directly. "Cao Cao can unite with him. As long as he stands with Cao Cao on the issue of fighting against Lu Bu, then Lu Bu will be a worm on fire and a demolished temple. Why?"
Do they all have to die?"
Hmm...Brother Yi means to unite with Liu Bei?
Cao Cao was ready to raise questions again...
Jia Xu stopped him and spoke first.
"Shopkeeper Yi, I would like to remind you that nowadays, with the delicate relationship between Liu Bei and Lu Bu, it will be very difficult to win over Liu Bei. But, since Shopkeeper Yi proposed it so confidently, I guess he has a plan. Since
Shopkeeper Yi has a plan, so don’t hide it, just tell them to me, I’m very curious!”
Jia Xu's words were gentle, but there was urgency in his tone.
"Yes." Cao Cao also nodded repeatedly. "Brother Yi, you must have thought of some good idea! Say it quickly, say it quickly, I'm waiting to hear it."
See them looking anxious.
Yi Xiaotian raised the wine bowl and took a sip to moisten his throat, and then said loudly.
"Brother Hiding, Mr. Jia, do you know what is the basis for Liu Bei to gain a foothold in troubled times?"
Yi Xiaotian raised a question and immediately asked and answered it. "It's the people's hearts! But Liu Bei has no soldiers, no food, and no territory, so how can he win the hearts of the people?"
"I guess Brother Xi and Mr. Jia have heard about this for a long time. Liu Bei, as long as he talks to others, will always mention that he is a descendant of Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan. He even claims to be a clan member of the Han Dynasty and declares his allegiance to the emperor.
I borrowed this name to appease the people, and it was precisely because of this that he, who had no soldiers, no food, and no territory, managed to survive in these troubled times with fame, influence, and cards... so..."
Yi Xiaotian deliberately let it go.
This made Cao Cao and Jia Xu anxious.
"So what?"
The two asked in unison.
Yi Xiaotian grinned with a sly smile, and then continued to answer. "So, Cao Cao only needs to use the emperor's mouth to appoint Liu Bei as the Mu of Xuzhou, and at the same time issue an edict stating that Lu Bu is a traitor and traitor!"
"Imagine that Xuzhou Mu, who was professed by the imperial court, had to succumb to Xiaopei. Instead, the rebellious ministers and traitors named by the imperial court occupied Xuzhou. Such doves occupy the magpie's nest. The mentality of Liu Bei and Lu Bu will soon change!"
Phew...it seems to make some sense.
Cao Cao and Jia Xu looked at each other, then both raised their chins and fell into deep thought.
Liu Bei claimed to be a clan member of the Han Dynasty and took it as his duty to support the Han Dynasty.
So…
The emperor of the Han Dynasty will definitely fulfill the edict issued by him, whether in name or in fact.
When the emperor said he was Xuzhou Mu, didn't he really think of himself as Xuzhou Mu?
This is the first step mentioned by Brother Yi...
The second step was the highlight of this strategy. The court directly labeled Lu Bu as a traitor.
Liu Bei is the shepherd of Xuzhou, and Lu Bu is the rebel. How could there not be further friction between the two sides who already had a lot of rifts.
In other words, Liu Bei will never serve as a watchdog for the Han rebel Lu Bu;
In other words, when Cao Cao conquered Lu Bu, Liu Bei would definitely not side with Lu Bu.
This is related to his reputation and his foundation in troubled times. Liu Bei will definitely be cautious and think twice before acting.
Hey…
Not to mention, Brother Yi's strategy really fundamentally destroyed the alliance between Liu Bei and Lu Bu. At least from a general point of view, Liu Bei would side with Cao Cao.
only…
Cao Cao always felt that it was not that interesting.
Jia Xu also had the same views as Cao Cao. This plan was a good one, and it was also an excellent way to quickly change the situation in Xuzhou. It took advantage of Liu Bei's loyalty to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and at least it allowed Liu Bei to maintain
neutral.
But Jia Xu also felt that there seemed to be some lack of warmth.
It is true that Liu Bei would break with Lu Bu because of the emperor's edict, but breaking up is one thing, and fighting between the two sides is another.
If we can add more fuel to the fire, Liu Bei and Lu Bu will have a complete fight, and both sides will suffer.
Then, Cao Cao sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and reaps the benefits of the fishermen. It only takes one battle to completely wipe out Lu Bu, and the damage in the process will be minimized.
"Brother Hide, Mr. Jia, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing Cao Cao and Jia Xu deep in thought, Yi Xiaotian asked curiously...
"nothing."
Cao Cao came to his senses. He took the initiative to lift the jug and filled it with wine for Yi Xiaotian. While filling the wine, he did not forget to ask another question.
"Brother Yi? Your plan is brilliant, but it always seems like it's missing a beat. If you can add more fire at some point and let Liu Bei and Lu Bu fight completely, then both sides will suffer. If Cao Cao sends troops again, it can be said that
It’s a sure win.”
"Yes... what Master Kuo said is exactly what I want to ask." Jia Xu repeatedly echoed. "Brother Yi, you guys will help us to the end, so just wave your hands and add to the fire!"
Jia Xu said with a smile.
At this moment, he had a feeling that Yi Xiaotian must be able to ignite the raging fire in Xuzhou.
because…
Today, he gives people the impression of being unfathomable in just four words.
"Are you adding to the fire?"
Yi Xiaotian thought for a moment and then spoke.
"This is easy to handle. The emperor's edict of one reward and one demotion has increased the conflict between Lu Bu and Liu Bei. What if another letter is found at this time? A letter between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and a letter between Liu Bei and Cao Cao.
A letter promising Cao Cao to cooperate internally and externally to attack Lu Bu."
"And this top-secret letter was intercepted by Lu Bu by coincidence... At the same time, Cao Cao's troops were lined up at the border, ready to move."
"At that time, according to Lu Bu's suspicious character, how will he treat Liu Bei?"
Yi Xiaotian has just finished speaking here...
We are all smart people, who doesn’t know what’s going on?
really.
Cao Cao spoke, and he immediately answered in seven words - "Lu Bu will blitz Liu Bei!"
Jia Xu did not agree, but nodded heavily.
Obviously, he also felt that if Yi Xiaotian's plan was put into practice, there would be a lot of rifts between Lu Bu and Liu Bei, and the emperor's edict would expand the rifts infinitely, making them suspicious of each other.
Such a fake letter is enough to make both parties completely lose their minds and draw swords against each other!
Boom...boom!
Lu Bu and Liu Bei drew their swords...
The situation in Xuzhou will completely change, and the sky in Xuzhou will completely change!
I saw Cao Cao and Jia Xu looking like they suddenly realized something.
Yi Xiaotian continued. "Brother Hi is right. Lu Bu will definitely attack Liu Bei. He wants to get rid of this unstable factor in Xuzhou before Cao Cao and Liu Bei join forces..."
"When the time comes, Liu Guan and Zhang may be able to match the eight strong generals. But how can Liu Bei's soldiers and horses be the opponent of Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry? Liu Bei will definitely return in defeat. At this moment, there is no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. He is about to
Liu Bei wants to be 'heartbroken'? What will he do?"
Yi Xiaotian asked questions one after another.
However, Cao Cao liked hearing about these issues...
"Liu Bei will definitely ask Cao Cao for help, and he will surrender to Cao Cao!" Cao Cao replied without thinking.
This is the action that best suits the situation at that time... and is also the action that is most beneficial to Cao Cao.
"Brother Hi, you're right." Yi Xiaotian's tone became higher and higher, more and more passionate. "At that time, Cao Cao will have the Emperor's edict to ask for the traitor, Liu Bei will ask for help soon, and Lu Bu will be a rebel."
"Externally, the princes from all walks of life are full of resentment towards Lu Bu and will definitely not rush to his aid; internally, there are Chen Si, Chen Deng and his son to assist; at the same time, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other super powerful combatants are working for free; and Xuzhou
The hearts and minds of the people have returned. After such a combination of punches, no matter how capable Lu Bu is, he may just be boiling turtles in a warm soup pot - he will not live or die!"
Yi Xiaotian said these words in one breath. For a moment, his mouth went dry.
Looking back at Cao Cao and Jia Xu, they were stunned. Their looks perfectly interpreted an idiom - dumbfounded!
