Jushou certainly couldn't think of it. Liu Bei will also have the ambition to dominate the world. So I don't quite understand what Liu Xin said. I couldn't help asking: "The lord means..."
Liu Xin had already laughed. Said: "Gongyou. Liu Bei has long had the ambition to rise above the clouds. His goal is not just as simple as assisting Tao Qian. He wants to mix up this pool of water. So I can fish out of it."
"Fishing in troubled waters." Jushou seemed to understand.
Liu Xin continued: "Liu Bei's wishful thinking. He wants to draw us. Together with Yuan Shao and Tao Qian. The power of the three families. Eat Cao Cao."
Ju Suo suddenly realized. Said: "Yes. If the power of the three families is combined, there is no reason for Cao Cao to be invincible. At that time, Tao Qian's influence is not only Xuzhou."
Liu Xin waved her hand. He said: "Liu Bei has always been benevolent and hypocritical. How can he be so kind. He will help Tao Qian to fight the world. In Liu's opinion. His real purpose is to take advantage of the chaos to occupy Xuzhou. Then grab some territory from Cao Cao. Then join forces. Yuan Shao dealt with us together. In the end, he competed with Yuan Shao for the world."
Ju Zui thought for a while. Said: "The lord's words are not unreasonable. If that is the case, the subordinates will look down upon him.
Liu Xin guessed well. Liu Bei was sending a letter to Mi Zhu at the same time. Sure enough, sent someone to Yecheng. Yuan Shao was told the news that Cao Song was killed and Cao Cao wanted to revenge.
Yuan Shao got the news. Convene a group of civil and military. Discuss countermeasures together.
Xu You stood up first. Said: "Qing to the lord. The subordinates thought. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Father and hatred are not shared. Cao Cao will definitely reinvigorate Xuzhou. At that time, Puyang will be empty. The lord can go straight to the rear of Cao Cao."
Just yesterday evening. Suddenly a few uninvited guests came to Xu You's home. The head was actually Chen Qun, a counselor under Cao Cao. Chen Qun carried generous gifts. Said to visit the deceased for Cao Cao. No mention of other purposes. As the saying goes. bother you for something. Xu You is also a smart man. How could he believe that Cao Cao would give himself a generous gift for no reason. but. No matter how he tempted. Chen Qun just pretended not to know.
on the one hand. Xu You had a close friendship with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the past. on the other hand. The gift Chen Qun brought was indeed tempting. Tell him that he can't bear to refuse. then. Xu You accepted all these gifts. Chen Qun stayed at home again. Ready to slowly poke out Cao Cao's purpose from his mouth. As a result, I got the news today.
I heard Yuan Shao report the news of Cao Song's murder. Think of the gift from Chen Qun. Xu You quickly understood. Cao Cao gave such a generous gift to himself. No other intention. I just want to make myself speak to Yuan Shao. He stood still when he sent troops to attack Xuzhou.
Just this time. Cao Cao's wishful thinking was wrong. Although Xu You is greedy for money. But he even wanted to shine. Make a big business. Xu You had already noticed it. Yuan Shao's support of Liu Biao is a fake. His real purpose is to stand on behalf of the Han. If there is such a day. He Xu Youke became the founding hero. How could you care about these gifts from Cao Cao
Yuan Shao nodded when he heard the words. Said: "Ziyuan's words are exactly what I want. The three armies are passed. Only after Cao Cao's troops go south. Then he will take Puyang straight."
Suddenly Fengji arched his hands and said, "Master. Never do this."
Yuan Shao said strangely: "If Cao Cao is going south, the rear will be empty. I can take this opportunity to capture Qing and Yan'er prefectures. Why does Yuantu say that."
in fact. After hearing the news of Cao Song's murder. Feng Ji had also anticipated that Cao Cao was very likely to develop Xuzhou. Revenge for my father. and. Feng Ji himself thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's just that Xu You spoke out first. If Yuan Shao uses this opportunity to defeat Cao Cao. Then he has a good chance to seize the world. The person who offered to attack Cao Cao naturally made his first contribution. He didn't get such credit in Fengji. That can't be cheaper for Xu You.
I heard Yuan Shao move to ask. Feng Ji cleared his throat. Stroke the short beards under his jaw. Slowly said: "Cao Cao is a veteran man. He is good at using soldiers. He has many advisers and generals. Even if he wants to send troops to Xuzhou. How can the rear be unprepared. Moreover. In the eyes of his subordinates, Cao Cao will pretend to send troops to Xuzhou. But he is in. Qing and Yan Erzhou set up an ambush. Lure me to attack."
Yuan Shao couldn't help taking a breath. He and Cao Cao played together since childhood. Naturally, he knew Cao Cao better than these men. Yuan Family IV and San Gong. Yuan Shao is behind the famous door. From the bottom of his bones, I look down on Cao Cao, who is the descendant of the eunuch. But he also had to admit that Cao Cao was outstanding. The situation Feng Ji said is not only possible. And the possibility is great.
Xu You saw Yuan Shao hesitate. Anxiously said: "Lord. The opportunity must not be missed. Time will never come again. Such a god-given opportunity. The lord must not miss it."
Feng Ji sneered and said: "Who doesn't know that Mr. Xu and Cao Cao are old friends. Could it be that Mr. Xu has received Cao Cao's benefit? He wants to put the protagonist in a place where he will never recover.
Everyone has shortcomings. Xu You's shortcoming is that he is greedy for money. And he did receive a generous gift from Cao Cao. Chen Qun, who gave the gift, is still living in his house. Feng Ji's remarks were poking into Xu You's painful spot. Xu You suddenly felt that he was a bit short. I can't speak hard anymore.
Marriage has always been at odds with every discipline. Upon seeing this, he stood up and said: "Enlighten the lord. The subordinates think. Ziyuan's words are very good. Xuzhou is rich. The household registration is million. If Cao Cao takes the first opportunity, it will be very disadvantageous to the lord's hegemony. Please also think twice."
Guo Tu smiled and said: "Several gentlemen are all right. The lord is wise and bold. Wherever the cavalry goes. The four universes are clear. If you want to destroy Cao Cao. Why do you need to use sneak attacks like the villain? Surely look forward to the wind."
Yuan Shao is a man who is more conspiring and less decisive. I heard that the counselors had different opinions. My mind was also confused. Shen Sheng said: "Don't argue that the person who revealed this news is Liu Bei. He is just a pedestal weaver. I can't believe what I want to say to him. Let's find out before talking about it."
Xu You saw that Yuan Shao refused to adopt his suggestion. Depressed. When they returned home, they invited Chen Qun over. He folded his hands and said: "Please reply to Cao Gong, Mr. Xu. Thank you for his generous gift. If Cao Gong wants to avenge his father, he will start his army immediately. Don't wait for the next spring."
Chen Qun smiled and said, "Mr. Chen must bring it here. If the lord is in harmony, I will thank you very much in the future."
Xu You is now acting with a guilty conscience. He knew that Yuan Shao was jealous. If you let him find out that he has received a generous gift from Cao Cao. Then he would die without a burial place. Xu You dare not leave Chen Qun at home again. I confessed a few words in a hurry. People quietly sent Chen Qun out through the back door.
Chen Qun came to Yecheng secretly as a merchant. Don't dare to be too swagger. Only four entourages were brought. Exited the back door of Xu You's house. An entourage poked his head out. I looked around. Turned around and made all safe gestures towards Chen Qun. Then he walked to the side alley first.
Chen Qun followed closely with three other entourages. Suddenly I heard a muffled hum from the alley. Because this is under Yuan Shao's nose. Chen Qun acted very cautiously. He noticed something wrong. Let an entourage go over and take a look immediately. He kept his pace. Turn to the other end of the alley.
Not much effort. Chen Qun heard anxious footsteps behind him. When he turned his head to look. It was three big men. Holding a dazzling steel knife, he chased him. There was still blood on the blade. Obviously, his two entourages are already ill-adjusted.
Those who live here are the upper-class figures under Yuan Shao. The alley outside the back door usually passes by occasionally except for the vehicles that clear the excrement. No one is walking. So it seems particularly remote. Of course. There are many guards in the homes of these strategists. As long as Chen Qun shouted loudly. Someone will come out to check it out. It's just that what Chen Qun has done is not visible. Had to gritted his teeth and fled. But he didn't dare to shout out.
Chen Qun is a literati after all. This step cannot be made. Seeing that he was about to be caught up by the three murderers. The other two followers around him are loyal to protect the Lord. As soon as he turned around, he greeted him. It's a pity that they are all dressed up as merchants. Never carried a weapon. Now face the three big men unarmed. It's no different from dying.
but. Blocked by these two followers. I bought some time for Chen Qun. Chen Qun didn't know where the strength came from. Running like flying. Already reaching the entrance of the alley. Just turn this corner. The main road is in front. People come and go there. No murderer dared to attack in public. I am safe.
Chen Qun seemed to see the hope of life. Can't help but get excited. Unexpectedly, happiness leads to sorrow. Slip underfoot. There was a "plop". He fell to the ground on his back.
The three big men had killed Chen Qun's last two entourages. He was chasing from behind with a steel knife. Suddenly I saw Chen Qun fall to the ground. There was a burst of secret joy in my heart. But his feet refused to slow down at all. Still ran all the way and rushed over. Chen Qun struggled to get up. A steel knife was put on the neck early.
When Chen Qun saw the other party killing his entourage, he shot hard. No mercy. But now he didn't immediately kill himself. I understood something in my heart. I think my whereabouts have been leaked. These people simply came for him.
Although extremely critical. But Chen Qun had guessed that these people did not want to take their lives immediately. My heart is not as busy as I was just now. But his face also deliberately showed a look of panic. He stammered and said: "Everyone. Be merciful. If you want money. I have some more. I leave it to you all. I only hope that you can stay for the next life."
The big man headed by. There is a scar on his forehead. Grim-faced. It looks very cruel. He raised his leg and stepped on Chen Qun's chest. He shouted in a deep voice, "Quickly. Why did Cao Cao send you to Yecheng?"
Chen Qun was startled. It seems that I guessed it well. These people already know their identities. but. Chen Qun knows. I didn't say anything. There may be a way to survive. If you tell me all the secrets of this business. Maybe they will give themselves a knife right away. Send yourself on the road.
then. Chen Qun pretended to be stupid. Stared with horrified eyes. Said: "Who is Cao Cao. I have never heard of it."
