Three Kingdoms: The rebellion was eavesdropped by Cao Cao

Chapter 67 Everything is going 'normal'
A few days later, Jingzhou!

"Father! There is an urgent battle report!" Sun Jian was wiping the Chuan Guoyu Seal on the table when Sun Ce suddenly rushed in, causing him to frown:

"What are you panicking about? Did your father tell you! When you are in a panic, you are in a panic!

Sun Ce swallowed his saliva, wiped the sweat from his face and said:
"Dong Zhuo is dead! Father! Did you hear that? Dong Zhuo is dead!"

Sun Jian's hand wiping the jade seal trembled suddenly, stood up with a bang, and asked in shock:
"What did you say? Dong Zhuo died? How did he die?"

Sun Ce immediately sent the battle report, and Sun Jian took it and tore it open and looked at it!

After a while, Sun Jian's hands trembled, his pupils shrank sharply, his face was full of disbelief, and he muttered to himself:
"Dong Zhuo died at the hands of Lu Bu... He was actually killed by Lu Bu himself..."

Then Sun Ce put down the battle report, his arms drooped, and his eyes were full of horror!

"One wolf and one tiger coexist in the same room, so we can't be at peace with each other... I just need to rest and not talk about it in detail. It turns out that the meaning of this sentence is this..."

"It turns out that he... even figured out how Dong Zhuo would die, and that's why he said such words. I'm still so stupid, so stupid! It's so stupid! Haha!"

Sun Jian was talking, but he laughed for no reason, his tone was full of horror.

Sun Ce was a little puzzled when he saw that his father, who was as immobile as a mountain, was so rude today!

"Father, you said he... but who is he?"

Sun Jian didn't answer, but issued an order immediately!

"Go! Hurry up and ask Xi Zhicai to come and see me!"

Sun Ce didn't dare to delay, and trotted out all the way!

A quarter of an hour later, Xi Zhicai appeared in front of Sun Jian and asked:

"My lord, I'm looking for you, but you have something important to discuss?"

Between the words, there was a bit of arrogance in his demeanor. In two years, he had the confidence to control everything in his hands!

Sun Jian silently handed him the battle report in his hand, and Xi Zhicai read it over and said in surprise:
"Dong Zhuo is dead?!"

Sun Jian nodded, "And he still died at the hands of Lu Bu. Surprise, right?"

Xi Zhicai raised his head and looked at Sun Jian with an unbelievable look, his face full of uncontrollable shock!

Seeing his stunned expression, Sun Jian couldn't help but say:
"You also remembered what Cao Su said before, didn't you?"

Xi Zhicai nodded, his expression still full of surprise.

Dong Zhuo's death is not uncommon, and it is not uncommon for him to die in the hands of Lu Bu!
But if someone could have predicted this two years ago, it would be a wonder in the world!

Xi Zhicai believes that he has been proficient in Qimen Dunjia since he was a child, astrology and gossip, and even has a lot of research on Taoism and destiny.

But even he could never figure out the absurdity of Dong Zhuo's death at the hands of Lu Bu, let alone someone who could have predicted it two years ago.
Suddenly, the arrogance on his face disappeared, replaced by the horror of the stormy waves.

Then Sun Jian put his mind away and asked Xi Zhicai:
"Zhicai, if Dong Zhuo dies, the world will be in turmoil, what do you think?"

Xi Zhicai responded and bowed,
"My lord, I think you don't have to do anything this time, just raise your troops in Jingzhou with peace of mind!"

Sun Jian is puzzled!

"So feasible?"

"It's feasible!" Xi Zhicai continued: "As soon as Dong Zhuo dies, the situation in the north will be completely disrupted, and the situation will be shaken. Why not wait for them to finish fighting, and when both sides are injured and shattered, then the northern expedition will definitely rule the world!"

Hearing this, Sun Jian's face softened a bit. Why not do something like taking advantage of the fisherman?

"So, I only need to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers, and I can unify the great cause? Haha! So good! Very good!"

Xi Zhicai was not as optimistic as Sun Jian, and said solemnly:
"My lord, this is only in theory, but now I have something to worry about, I don't dare to feel at ease!"

Sun Jian's laughter stopped abruptly, "Why are you worried?"

Xi Zhicai said, "Cao Su!"

The smile on Sun Jian's face disappeared completely, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "Yeah, from now on, this person is no trivial matter. He is definitely not something in the pool. With him assisting Cao Cao, I'm afraid..."

Having said that, Xi Zhicai took over the conversation and continued:
"Yes, with this person assisting Cao Mengde, he will definitely stand out from the various princes. If it is not stopped in time, I am afraid that he will become your lord's enemy in the future!"

Sun Jian sighed, "What do you think?"

Xi Zhicai pondered for a moment, "If Cao Cao wants to develop, he must first seek Xuzhou, and Tao Qian has always ruled by benevolence, so he has no name and will be attacked by the help of princes from all directions, so this is a good opportunity!"

"Report!"

However, just after he finished speaking, a battle report came from outside the door!
"Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao sent a special funeral letter, asking the lord to send troops to help him attack Xuzhou!"

Xi Zhicai and Sun Jian were startled at the same time, and Xi Zhicai asked in shock:
"Whose funeral letter?"

Xiaobing said:
"It's the father of General Cao and Cao Yishi! Tao Qian sent Zhang Kai to escort his father Cao Song in order to please Cao Cao, but Zhang Kai was malicious on the road and killed him!"

When the words fell, the two inhaled at the same time, how could they not smell the undercurrent in it!
Isn't the revenge of killing the father the best title?
Xi Zhicai never thought that the game he just thought of was broken immediately!
Sun Jian frowned, "Cao Cao recruited Qingzhou soldiers last year, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, so how can Tao Qian be an opponent? Xuzhou will be defeated!"

"Not necessarily!" Who knows what Xi Zhicai suddenly thought of, and said: "There is another person who will not watch him break the city!"

"Who?"

"Liu Bei of Pingyuan County!"

Xi Zhicai continued:

"Liu Bei has always called himself an uncle, and he has a good relationship with Tao Qian. The most important thing is to have a heart of benevolence and righteousness. He will definitely not watch Cao Cao break Xuzhou and slaughter the people. Although other princes will wait and see, he will definitely not sit idly by. !"

Sun Jian raised his brows, "Yeah, why did I forget him? It's absolutely impossible for Liu Bei to watch Cao Cao slaughter the people of Xuzhou!"

Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "So, once they start a war, if someone sneaks up on Cao Cao's Yanzhou camp from the rear, Cao Cao will suffer, even his younger brother Cao Su can't help him, and this time... he will definitely suffer. Enemies with Liu Bei!"

"Do you mean to let us attack Yanzhou?" Sun Jian asked with wide eyes.

Who knows, Xi Zhi shook his head:
"No, we still have to wait for an opportunity. In the west of Yanzhou, there is Lu Bu. I will write a letter asking him to attack Yanzhou when Cao Cao attacks Xuzhou!"

Sun Jian glanced at Sun Ce, paced back and forth for a while, and finally nodded:

"Okay! I'll listen to you!"

……

On the other side, Liu Bei was still in shock after receiving the news that Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu!
Two years ago, Cao Su said, "One wolf and one tiger live in the same room, and there is no way to live in peace with each other." Until today, he finally understands it, and his heart is full of turbulent waves, and he can't calm down for a long time!
This sentence may not be heard by others, but in Liu Bei's ears, it makes him sure that Cao Su's talent is really as unpredictable as a ghost.

too strong!
It can be accurately predicted to today in two years!

Is he... is he really human?
Just when he was shocked, Guan Yu came over with a mourning letter!
"Big brother! A letter from Cao Cao of Yanzhou says that Tao Qian sent Zhang Kai to kill his father!"

Liu Bei shuddered and said in shock:
"What did you say?"

Guan Yu handed the funeral letter to Liu Bei, who took it and opened it immediately!

After a while, Liu Bei's face showed uncontrollable anger, and he threw the letter to the ground and scolded:
"Tao Gongzu is simply confused! At this juncture, the father of the Shuren brother was killed. He must be heartbroken and grieved at this time!"

Guan Yu then said:

"Brother, Cao Mengde said in the letter that he wanted you to send troops to help him attack Xuzhou. Although Tao Qian did something wrong, he has always ruled the city with benevolence and righteousness, and has won the trust of the people. We... who should we help?"

He asked this question from the soul, and directly stopped Liu Bei!
He had long felt that Cao Cao was eyeing Xuzhou, and if he used other excuses, I'm afraid he would lead troops to support Xuzhou Tao Qian without saying a word!
But now... it was Cao Su's father who died!

He is the father of that unicorn genius!

If strictly speaking, Cao Su!It was the top credit for beheading Dong Zhuo!
Because he asked the three of them to let Lv Bu go, the good news of Dong Zhuo's death today, if he went to stop Cao Cao from attacking Xuzhou this time, he was really afraid that it would hurt Cao Su's heart!
Liu Bei was so entangled in his heart that he hesitated between righteousness and personal emotion for the first time!

Looking at Liu Bei's undecided appearance, Guan Yu was also particularly surprised. He had never seen his eldest brother hesitate so much.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Bei stopped pacing and said with a firm expression:
"Go! Let's support Cao Cao and attack Xuzhou!"

Guan Yu widened his eyes and asked in disbelief:
"Brother, do you really want to give up the people of Xuzhou City for a Cao Su...? Cao Cao threatened to leave the chickens alone and sacrifice to the heaven for their father!"

Liu Bei shook his head:

"Help him does not mean giving up the people of Xuzhou City. We have helped in the past. When Cao Mengde wants to massacre the city, we will have the right to speak. This is also to save the people of Xuzhou!"

Guan Yu was silent, although he felt it was a little difficult, but it was no way out!
Then the nod should be:

"I know big brother, I'll make arrangements now!"

"Wait! I'll go see General Gongsun first!"

Liu Bei immediately stood up and stopped:
"We need to go to him for a general to help us!"

"Who?"

Guan Yu asked in confusion.

Liu Bei glanced at him and said lightly:
"Zhao Yun! General Zhao Zilong!"
