Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 231 Hidden Lin layout, Jianghuai is like chess, the game of heroes
"Sir, let's take a step to talk!"

Lu Bula led Chen Gong into the main hall of the government office...

He asked impatiently: "Sir, you said Yin Lin is in Cao Ying?"

As he spoke, Lu Bu's face suddenly changed, and he couldn't believe it.

"Yinlin...how could Yinlin be in Cao Ying?"

"What else?" Chen Gongning frowned, and he explained in detail: "Three years ago, Cao Cao was just like you, Marquis Wen, without a single city, and his subordinates were only some Qiao Pei warriors!"

"After chasing Thief Dong, after Xingyang was defeated, he went to Yangzhou to recruit soldiers, and was betrayed by the recruits. That's when he took this seemingly unwise step!"

Hearing this, Lu Bu suddenly thought of something.

That unwise step in Chen Gong's mouth refers to Cao Cao's entry into Yanzhou.

Indeed...Even now, it is not wise for Cao Cao to rule Yanzhou.

It is true... At that time, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai died in battle, and Yanzhou needed such a person to preside over the overall situation, but in fact, due to internal and external troubles, it was almost hellish difficulty to take control of Yanzhou.

Surrounded by powerful enemies outside and the Yellow Turban Rebellion inside, Cao Cao is very likely to become the next Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai who died in battle!
However, the most incredible thing is that it is precisely such a difficulty in hell that Cao Cao successfully turned against the wind, not only solving the internal chaos of the Yellow Turban, but also taking it for his own use in one fell swoop. , and even now welcomes the emperor, and has grown into a behemoth in the Central Plains.

According to Mr. Chen Gong's intention, then...

"Sir..." Lu Bu was about to speak.

Chen Gong's words came out first. "Fengxian, think about it? Cao Cao, who has been defeated repeatedly before, has a disheveled face, and does not hesitate to become Yuan Shao's watchdog. How can he rise up? If there is no expert advice? How can he turn against the wind? "

Speaking of this, Chen Gong paused, as if to give Lu Bu time to think.

And Lu Bu's brows became even tighter. "Sir, what do you mean, since then...Yin Lin has devoted himself to Cao Cao's command? Did you plan this scene of a strong army for him?"

"That's right!" Chen Gong said firmly. "I wasn't sure before, but... Recently, among the nine officials newly appointed by the imperial court, the candidate for the chief minister is a 17-year-old boy named Lu Yu!"

"I specially ordered the spy to investigate him. It turns out that... this Lu Yu joined Cao Ying two years ago, and has been Cao Cao's shogunate since then, and he is also the commander of Longxiao Camp!"

"In the past when we raided Yanzhou in the past, our defeat in Puyang was always lost to the Longxiao camp...Fengxian, you now know the energy of Lu Yu, right? How could he be an ordinary boy?"

Huo... Lu Bu almost narrowed his eyes.

Speaking of which, he had heard that there was a shogun in Cao Ying named Lu Yu before, but he had never associated Lu Yu with Yin Lin.

However, Chen Gong said so, then... it has a lot of meaning.

In Lu Bu's heart, Mr. Chen Gong's eyesight is very vicious, and his words will never be groundless.

Besides…

"Lu Yu, 17 years old! Yin Lin was 15 years old two years ago!" Lu Bu uttered this sentence, and then he thought of something. "The Yin Lin under Yuan Shu's command..."

"Hmph!" Chen Gong snorted coldly, and immediately his eyes were filled with contempt. "Fake, Yuan Shu's ambition to become the emperor has almost been confused, he is extremely confused, extremely confused! The real Yinlin will only coerce the emperor to order the princes, and the false Yinlin will persuade the lord to proclaim the emperor and bring about his own destruction!"

"Take a ten thousand step back, even if Zhen Yinlin is in the hands of Yuan Gonglu, at this time, he needs to hide it! Now...using Yinlin's words to claim the emperor is tantamount to making enemies and making enemies. Well, soon Yuan Gonglu will become a living target! His side will also be deserted."

"At that time, Cao Cao, who is holding the emperor in his arms, will have a fierce battle with the false emperor Yuan Shu! At this time, Yuan Shu is marrying his son, and he wants to tie Fengxian to his chariot! Do you understand!"

When mentioning this crucial point, Chen Gong's tone inevitably became a lot more serious.

At this moment...he is like Lu Bu's old father, persuading him earnestly, but also hating iron for being weak.

Even so, Chen Gong said in his heart - it's too difficult for me!
"Then...then what should we do?"

Lu Bu was suddenly at a loss.

Cao Cao has the real Yinlin under his command, and Yuan Shu has the false Yinlin under his command... This incident forced Lu Bu to re-examine his relationship with Yuan Shu.

"I have already promised Yuan Shu, if I go back on my promise, wouldn't I be a capricious villain?"

"No problem!" Chen Gong waved his hand. "Although you have already agreed to Yuan Shu, there is an ancient rule when you are hired and married. It is said that the emperor has a year, the princes have half a year, the doctor has a season, and the common people have a month. Didn't Yuan Shu call himself the emperor of the Zhong family? According to the ritual system, there is absolutely no dowry gift The reason why we are going to welcome you immediately."

Speaking of this, Chen Gong paused. "Fengxian might as well tell Yuan Shu about this, and say that according to the etiquette, he will send his daughter over one year later. I would like to see how long Yuan Shu, the emperor, can last?"

"Hmph, two tigers cannot fit in one mountain. Since Yuan Shu dares to claim the title of emperor, the last thing he wants to see is another emperor! Hehe, there must be a fierce battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu. When the situation is clear, if Yuan Shu wins, The princess is his, if Yuan Shu wins, it won't bring disaster to Xiapi city!"

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Lu Bu blew his sexy mustache and nodded. "Mr. Talent..."

Just as he wanted to praise Chen Gong a few more words, he suddenly thought of a key question.

Immediately said: "Sir, in your opinion, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu fought? Which one will win and which will lose?"

This…

Don't say it!This question really stumped Chen Gong.

He walked slowly to the map, his eyes narrowed, looking between Xuchang City and Shouchun City.

His eyes kept scanning the cities and counties bordering on Cao Cao's land and Yuan Shu's territory, and finally, his eyes fell on the land of "Chen Guo".

He whispered: "Cao Cao is not weak, and Yuan Shu is far from being as strong as imagined. The two of them are pretty much the same!"

"If we really want to fight, I'm afraid that the country of Chen will be the most important among them. Whoever can win the support of the country of Chen, who can accept the [-] soldiers of the country of Chen, will be able to look down upon the Central Plains!"

As soon as this statement comes out…

Lu Bu also stood up suddenly and stood in front of the map.

Yes, Liu Chong, the lord of the Kingdom of Chen, is a behemoth from Yuzhou to Jianghuai generation!

The [-] soldiers under him are enough to rewrite the entire situation in the Central Plains!
It's just... Lu Bulang said: "Sir? Is it possible that Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Chen Guo will all lose, and I, Lu Bu, will benefit from it?"

This…

Chen Gong narrowed his eyes, he thought about this question, but...

Hehe, Chen Gong smiled slightly, and then said with emotion: "Fengxian, you need to remember that Yinlin is in Cao Ying. He can help Cao Cao grow from a humble beginning to the behemoth he is today. How can he not see the current situation? What about the situation?"

Speaking of this, Chen Gong shook his head. "All three losers, hehe, let's not have such a beautiful dream!"

Inexplicably, as long as Chen Gong thinks that "Yin Lin" is in Cao Ying!

He didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, for fear...for fear that these many beautiful visions would eventually come to nothing.

After all...he had never gained the upper hand in the duel with Yinlin in the past. This is a battle that is not evenly matched.

...

...

Xu Capital City, Sikong Mansion.

"Mr. Cao, it's time to go to court!" Xu Chu reminded early in the morning.

"I won't go to court today." Cao Cao, who was sitting in front of the desk, didn't look very energetic.

Last night, he didn't sleep all night...

But his expression was particularly miserable, and his eyes were fixed on a bamboo slip, which was an urgent report from Yuan Shu proclaiming the emperor.

As soon as Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Cao Cao stayed up almost all night.

He must respond as soon as possible...

The whole world does not know how many people are staring at this matter. If Yuan Shu is allowed to proclaim himself emperor, then... the whole world will be in chaos, and the emperor card in Cao Cao's hand will be demoted to nothing.

It seems that there must be a fierce battle between him and Yuan Gonglu.

The outcome of this battle will also affect the situation of the entire Central Plains, and even the entire world.

only…

Cao Cao was not sure of victory, it was still the same problem, if it was not resolved, Cao Cao would not be able to sleep at all.

Chen Guo, how to deal with this buffer zone between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu?

Of course... Yu'er had issued a military order before, conquering Chen Guo before June, and now it's just the fifth day of May.

Can…

"Zhongkang?" Cao Cao raised his head.

"Cao Sikong..." Seeing that Cao Cao had something on his mind, Xu Chu bowed his hands.

Cao Cao continued to ask: "Did Lu Si Nong only send those four people to Chen Guo?"

When talking about this, Cao Cao still couldn't believe it.

But Xu Chu's voice was extremely firm. "It's been verified. Lu Si Nong only sent Dong Zhonglang General Cheng Yu, An Dong General Huang Zhong, Long Xiao Battalion Commander Dian Wei, and... Long Xiao Battalion Centurion Cao Anmin four people. Count the time. One day, one more day and it’s time to arrive at Chen Country.”

"Where's Longxiao Camp? Is there any action?" Cao Cao continued to ask.

"No!" Xu Chu answered truthfully.

"Sure enough..." Cao Cao looked very calm, he seemed to have anticipated something long ago, and subconsciously blurted out: "It seems that Yu'er... doesn't plan to attack by force!"

"But this time...if he uses his best scheming? How does Yu'er plan to do it?"

"Yu'er?" Xu Chu scratched his head as soon as this address came out, and he asked back, "Cao Sikong called Lu Si Nong Yu'er?"

"Oh..." Cao Cao paused for a moment, then smiled, "Don't worry about this Zhongkang, I'll tell you the details after dealing with the matter of Chen Guo and Yuan Shu!"

According to Cao Cao...

Yu'er was his eldest son's business, so he really didn't intend to hide it from Xu Chu.

First of all, Xu Chu was recommended by Yuer to Cao Cao. Strictly speaking, he will be regarded as Lu Yu's direct lineage in the future!
Secondly, Xu Chu was Cao Cao's personal guard, and he was the person he had the most contact with on a daily basis. If he knew Yu'er's identity, Xu Chu and Huben's army would deliberately take this into consideration.

This is extremely beneficial for Yu'er to act unimpeded in the future.

Of course, now that Cao Cao is worried about Chen Guo and Yuan Shu, he can't take care of this, just tell Xu Chu if he has a chance in the future.

"Oh..." Xu Chu scratched his head again.

Huh... Cao Cao exhaled. "Let us in Chen Guo pay close attention to the four people sent by Lu Sinong, and provide them with the necessary help if necessary, even at the expense of exposure."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao paused, he got up slowly, stood in front of the window, with his hands behind his back, his eyes looking south...

Can't help but sigh again in my heart. "Could four people really be able to leverage Chen Guo's [-] troops?"

Thinking of this...

Cao Cao ordered lightly. "Zhongkang, immediately send an order to the three armies, so that each battalion is ready to go out at any time. If there is any change in the state of Chen, our army must be dispatched as soon as possible."

"Here!" Xu Chu agreed...

In fact, Cao Cao was still confused about Lu Yu's plan this time, but...before Zhu Yu, Yu'er had never done anything unsure, and this time, it was the same!
Taking ten thousand steps back, the four people who went to Chen State this time - Cheng Yu, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Cao Anmin...

In Cao Cao's eyes...

Aside from nephew Cao Anmin, the other three are Yu'er's most outstanding lieutenants!

Cheng Yu's courage and meticulousness, Huang Zhong and Dian Wei's bravery, and his nephew Cao Anmin are even more outstanding in detecting intelligence.

Since Yu'er arranged for the four of them to go to Chen Country, he must have thought about it... and it will eventually stir up the situation in Jianghuai.

"Keep an eye on it, the others... get ready, ready to go!"

Cao Cao added one more sentence.

Clenching his fist subconsciously... At this moment, compared to Yu'er, he is undoubtedly the one who is more nervous.

Similarly, Cao Cao is betting... he is betting that Yu'er can complete the agreement and take Chen Guo before June.

...

...

Xuzhou, Xiaopei city.

"Brother? Do you really want to go to Chen Guo? Today's Chen Guo is not peaceful!"

At this moment, three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were riding on horses at the south gate of Xiaopei's city.

There are hundreds of knights behind them, ready to go at any time.

Guan Yu still had the same paralyzed face that had never changed since ancient times, but he had doubts about his elder brother's decision to go to the country of Chen.

after all…

After Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, everyone knew that Chen Guo, sandwiched between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, would become the eye of the storm, or... a Shura field.

call…

Liu Bei hung the double-strand sword on his waist, and his tone was as firm as ever.

"We must go. Our detailed work has found out that the traitor Yuan Shu sent assassins to assassinate the Lord Chen, and Yuan Shu's army is even more eager to move. If they are punished, then... the situation will be irreversible."

"Besides, Liu Chong, the lord of the Chen Kingdom, is a relative of the Han family, and I am a brother of the same clan, and Yuan Shu has declared himself emperor. No matter what, the land of the Chen Kingdom cannot fall into the hands of rebels."

Liu Bei's tone was extremely firm...

Zhang Fei straightened out the Ba Snake Spear, and shouted:
"Brother, according to me, we don't need to tell that Liu Chong at all. With our three brothers... we can directly attack the country of Chen. When the elder brother becomes the leader of the country, the [-] troops of the country of Chen will not Do you listen to the elder brother? When the time comes, no matter what Cao Cao or Yuan Shu is, I will lead the troops to fight whoever the elder brother says to fight!"

Zhang Fei's words are always so cute...

It's just...the feasibility is undoubtedly a huge question mark.

"Third Brother..." Guan Yu reminded. "There are [-] troops in the Chen Kingdom, and Liu Chong, the leader of the Chen Kingdom, is brave and good at fighting. We only have a few hundred people in the battle? How can we easily capture it? But if... tell him the news of Yuan Shu's assassination, then..."

Having said this, Guan Yu paused. "Brother, the state of Chen has a special position. It is sandwiched between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu. If the state of Chen cannot belong to Yuan Shu, then... it will definitely fall into Cao Cao's hands. Isn't this... making Cao Cao cheaper?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Second brother, if there must be something wrong with Chen Guo, then I would rather it belong to Cao Cao. At least Cao Cao supports the emperor and the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, but Yuan Shu blatantly proclaims himself emperor and claims to be the emperor of the Zhong family. How can I, Liu Bei, tolerate this?" he!"

"This is righteousness, the great way, and it is the foundation of my life, Liu Bei, in this troubled world!"

Don't look at what Liu Bei said so righteously...

In fact, Liu Bei has another idea.

To put it bluntly, in this troubled world, Liu Bei and Lu Bu are the only ones living in the cracks, repeatedly jumping left and right to find a living space.

In the past, Liu Bei voted for Gongsun Zan like this, and Tao Qian did the same. Now...he is just following the example of saving Xuzhou in the past and going to Chen Guo to join Liu Chong.

Now, the information that "Yuan Shu sent people to assassinate Liu Chong" intercepted by Liu Bei is a rare commodity!
In addition, Liu Bei is also a member of the Han family, if he can unite with Liu Chong, maybe... a different situation can be created.

At that time, it is not impossible to use Liu Chong's hatred for Yuan Shu to send troops to destroy Yuan Shu, seize the land of Huainan, and occupy the six counties of Yangzhou.

Even if the three tigers Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Liu Chong are fighting, Liu Bei may not be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman, just like Tao Qian gave Xuzhou three times in the past.

certainly…

It is not easy to do this step.

"Hmph..." Zhang Feiyou roared at this moment. "My eldest brother hasn't become the emperor yet. What is he, Yuan Shu, who dares to call himself the emperor of the Zhong family. If he can become the emperor, then I, Zhang Fei, can also be the emperor!"

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense!" Liu Bei said immediately.

"Brother..." Guan Yu raised the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and pointed it at Chen Guo not far from Xiaopei. To be precise, it was pointing at the official road. Guan Yu asked back: "It seems that the city of Xu is too peaceful, right?"

That's right...

This is what worries Liu Bei the most.

Logically speaking, when Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Xu Capital shouldn't have done nothing!
But three days passed, and there was no news in Xu Capital City. For three days in a row, Cao Cao didn't even attend the morning court.

Is he evading?
And Chen Guo!

Yuan Shu tried to use insidious means to assassinate Chen Guo, but... what about Cao Cao?Why is he so calm and relaxed?No sign of sending troops?
Chen Guo, this strategically important place?Is he planning to give up?
Thinking about this...

Liu Bei's brows were tightly frowned, weird, so weird!
This time... the game surrounding Chen Guo, Cao Ying's actions... are simply too weird!
And this also made Liu Bei feel a lot of uneasiness.

His eyes narrowed even tighter.

He murmured in his heart:

——"Cao Mengde, you...what are you planning?"

——"If you don't move, this Chen country will not be chaotic? How can I, Liu Bei, fish in troubled waters?"

But, how could Liu Bei know.

Chen Guo is like chess, and Yin Lin has already made a move.

Whether it's Liu Bei, the lord of the Chen Kingdom, Liu Chong, or Lu Bu, Yuan Shu... Hehe, let's face the blast!
...
