Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 318: The Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven!

Xiapi City, within the government office.

There was a table, a pot of tea, and two teacups. Lu Yu and Cao Cao were kneeling on both sides of the table, chatting about something.

The first thing we talked about was the appointment of talents!

What Lu Yu proposed was to let Chen Si and Chen Deng be stationed in Xuzhou as usual, appoint Chen Si as Xuzhou shepherd, and Chen Deng as Guangling prefect, give Xuzhou a high degree of autonomy as usual, and prevent the Jiangdong Sun family from going north.

In this way, Guangling City and Lujiang County became two barriers, tightly trapping the six counties in Jiangdong, curbing their development and preventing their spread!

This idea is exactly the same as Cao Cao's original idea.

"Lu Sinong's vision is always precise. If you are optimistic about the Chen family and his son, then do as you say. After returning to Xudu City, I will ask Shang Shutai to draft an edict!"

The father and son Chen Si and Chen Deng made great contributions in the battle of Xiapi City.

It's just that they are more familiar with Xuzhou...

There is also the Chen family who have always cherished the people here, reclaimed wasteland, and built water conservancy. The official reputation is excellent!

It is perfect for them to be stationed.

Of course, other than that, Lu Yu knew too well that the name Chen Deng might seem like nothing now, but he could be called the nemesis of Jiangdong Sun's family, an insurmountable "heavenly moat"!
The dust settles…

Everything is settled.

Xuzhou... The three-legged situation of the common people faction, the Danyang faction, and the celebrity faction is preserved, and the celebrity faction is in power again!
But Yang Xiu, Cao Cao originally wanted to give him an official title, his contribution was no less than that of Chen Deng and his father and son, but Lu Yu directly declined.

Yang Xiu is going to confer an official title, but not yet!
Now he is still on the way of practice.

After talking about this topic, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone suddenly became serious. He frowned and said:

"Yuan Benchu ​​has already mobilized troops. The three armies are attacking Youzhou together. The dead will be the first to lead. Gongsun Zan may not know that disaster is coming!"

"Gudong..." Lu Yu took a sip of tea and said with a light smile, "Yuan Shao's advisers are like clouds, military generals are like rain, and the four northern states are unified. This is the general trend, and we can't do anything now."

"Indeed." Cao Cao nodded.

Lu Yu continued to say calmly: "The most urgent thing is that Cao Sikong has to solve several other problems first while Yuan Shao's attention is on Youzhou."

As soon as this remark came out, Cao Cao immediately chanted: "After 'Looking East', according to Lu Sinong's strategic plan, it will be 'Xilong' and 'Zhongding'! It will be 'Nanheng'!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao paused.

"Calculating the time, Zhong Yao recommended by Lu Si Nong should have arrived in Guanzhong, right? I don't know what's going on with him? I don't even know if the Jiangdong Lu family can rise and grow? And..."

At the end, Cao Cao thought of Zhang Xiu in Wancheng.

——How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch, Wancheng is too close to Xuducheng, now that you have free hands, the next target to be dealt with is him!

Thinking about it this way, after Xuzhou Ding and Lu Buping, the next task is not easy!

"Lu Si Nong..." Cao Cao changed the topic. "In your opinion, how long will it take for Yuan Shao to destroy Gongsun Zan?"

This question is very delicate...

Cao Cao didn't ask Yuan Shao whether he could destroy Gongsun Zan, but asked, how long would it take for Yuan Shao to destroy Gongsun Zan?

just like…

In his heart, Gongsun Zan's downfall was already a certainty, but it was only a matter of time.

When Cao Cao asked this, the implication was, how much time does he have to solve the other hidden dangers?
"Half a year, up to half a year, or even just three months..."

Lu Yu's answer was very firm.

Although because of him, the trajectory of the entire history has shifted a bit, and even... the flapping wings of Lu Yu, a butterfly, also affected the waves of the four northern states!

But if it was said that Gongsun Zan could turn the tables against the wind, Lu Yu would never believe it.

Many people think that Gongsun Zan's defeat was due to Yuan Shao... This is too one-sided and too simple.

Since Gongsun Zan beheaded the well-known benevolent Liu Yu and his wife and children in Jicheng, Gongsun Zan's defeat was inevitable!
The reason why Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan had a bad relationship was because of their attitude towards the barbarians, and also because of Gongsun Zan's militarism, plundering the people, and making the people miserable...

In the second year of Xingping, Liu Yu was defeated and killed!

Liu Yu's generals gathered the old troops, and even summoned Xianbei, Wuhuan and other troops to cooperate with Yuan Shaoli and defeat Gongsun Zan in Baoqiu. Gongsun Zan's will perishes.

"I heard that Gongsun Zan dug more than ten trenches near the Yi River, and piled up five or six feet high mounds in the trenches, and built a camp on the mounds. , named Yi Jinglou, so defensive? It shouldn’t be captured by Yuan Shao in three months or half a year, right?”

Cao Cao asked a question...

Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan met when the princes of the Eighteenth Towns were begging for Dong. Cao Cao could sense that Gongsun Zan was at the top in terms of military command and martial arts!
Even, in the minds of the people in the northern border of Youzhou, he is hailed as a patron saint.

If it weren't for killing Liu Yu and losing his character, maybe... the situation would be so passive.

But even so!
It was broken by Yuan Shao in three months or half a year, Cao Cao still couldn't believe it!

"This Yijing Tower, Cao Sikong only knows one thing and doesn't know the other."

Lu Yu blinked his eyes, and told all he knew: "It is true that Gongsun Zan built the Yijing Tower, but... the purpose may not be to stop Yuan Shao!"

"The gate of Yijing is made of iron, Gongsun Zan reprimanded the left and right, so that men over the age of seven are not allowed to enter, and they only live in it with their wives and concubines, and hoard 300 million hu of grain and grain. This is the preparation for guarding it for a lifetime! The most amazing thing is that Gongsun Zan taught women to speak loudly, so that the voice can be transmitted hundreds of steps, and used to convey orders!"

"In this way, in Yijing, Youzhou, the generals will not be able to see the commander, and the counselors will not be able to see the lord. Gongsun Zan is so alienated from the guests, and soon... all his cronies will go away, and the advisers around him will gradually become alienated. He who has always been brave has lost his brave nature on the battlefield, so is he far from death? Will he be far away?"

Lu Yu's words came out slowly.

The speed of speech is not fast, but the sonorous and forceful words and sentences are enough for Cao Cao to hear every word and every sentence clearly.

This…

Cao Cao frowned slightly.

It seems that what Yu'er mentioned was revealed in the information sent by the elaborator.

However, Cao Cao didn't pay special attention to the matter involving Gongsun Zan's wives and concubines!
The same piece of information, in Yu'er's eyes, could see different details.

This is not the point, the point is that Yu'er's determination of the time of Gongsun Zan's demise is not groundless, but targeted, because of these clues.

This inference...convinced Cao Cao!

"Whether it's three months or half a year, the time is too short!" Cao Cao sighed.

Even if it is half a year, it is indeed too short!
Cao Cao didn't have the confidence to solve this series of problems and troubles in just half a year.

listen to listen...

Lu Yu immediately understood what Cao Cao meant!
Indeed, time is a bit too tight.

In fact... it's not just the time constraints of the original strategy. In Lu Yu's mind, apart from "Xilong", "Zhongding" and "Nanheng"...bigger problems will appear internally.

Now...with the tremendous rise of Cao Cao's power, he...or the Cao Group's attitude towards Han Ting is bound to undergo a 180-degree reversal.

This is inevitable!
If it is said that Cao Cao in the past was "following the emperor to order but not to be ministers".

Then...

Today, sitting on "Si, Xu, Yan, Yu"...Occupying important military areas such as Hanoi, Hongnong, Lujiang, etc., with more than [-] soldiers...Aspire to Cao Cao in the Central Plains.

What he practiced is no longer "following the emperor's orders and not ministers", but... "taking the emperor's orders to order the princes"!

Don't look at the difference between the word "Feng" and the word "Hold", here, Cao Cao... To be precise, the conflict between the Cao Cao Group and the Han Court is inevitable!

And the Han court is bound to take action.

"Xilong", "Zhongding" and "Nanheng" are just external problems, they are open guns... the most terrifying thing is often internal, it is the hidden arrows of the Han court!

These are not difficult to deal with, but it is bound to take time.

Similarly, there is another guy who is not difficult to deal with, but takes more time.

——Liu Bei!
How to deal with Liu Bei?If you kill him, even if it's... someone else with a fake hand!
But... as long as Liu Bei dies on Cao Cao's territory, Yuan Shao will definitely make a big fuss about it. The decisive battle between Yuan and Cao is imminent. At this time, Cao Cao's reputation is extremely important.

Can you not kill?

So... how to install it?
After all, it was Lu Yu...I haven't thought about Liu Bei's issue now. You can't underestimate this big-eared thief. He has a lot of energy, but when you deal with it, it affects the whole body, which is very tricky.

time…

At the end of the day, dealing with these difficult problems will take time.

Eyeballs rolled, Lu Yu was also thinking about the strategy, how could he hold Yuan Shao back?
Even if Gongsun Zan is allowed to take over the first half of the year, Cao Cao will have more time and space to plan and deploy more time!
and many more.

Lu Yu's eyes froze.

If the decisive battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan is summed up in detail, there are still some opportunities to take advantage of!

In fact, this siege of Yi Jing can be roughly divided into three stages!

The first stage is from strategic stalemate to siege of Yi Jing!

Yuan Shao marched in three directions and besieged many cities and counties in Youzhou, but Gongsun Zan refused to rush to rescue these cities and counties. What did he say-"Save one person, and then as long as there are cities that are besieged, they will just wait for the rescue and will not fight! Now I will not go Save them, and then the besieged soldiers will encourage themselves and fight to the death!
Gongsun Zan was right, the guards could indeed encourage themselves.

But they can also choose another option, that is Kaesong surrender!
Because of this, the cities and counties of Youzhou were lost one by one, and Yuan Shao's three troops successfully reached Yijing and surrounded Yijing. From then on... entered the second stage of the decisive battle in the northern border, the siege and breakout battle!

Strictly speaking, even here...Gongsun Zan still has a chance.

He even sent his son, Gongsun Xu, to ask for help from the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army. Cooperating internally and externally, he has a chance to turn the tide of the battle... Unfortunately, this letter for help was intercepted by the Black Mountain Army, cutting off his last hope.

So far, the second stage, the siege and breakout battle... ended with Yuan Shao's complete victory.

In the third stage, it is even more mysterious. It stands to reason... The Yijing Tower built by Gongsun Zan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It may not be easy for Yuan Shao to break through the ten thousand arrows on this tall building!
It just so happened that Yuan Shao performed a very "coquettish" operation - digging tunnels, fighting tunnels...

What's more, the tunnel was dug very carefully, and it was accurately dug to the Yi Jing building, and then set fire from here... a fire directly burned Gongsun Zan's last barrier.

It is said in history - the pillar fire burned downstairs!
Gongsun Zan was burned to death alive. Of course, before he was burned to death, he also killed his wife, children, and children.

And a generation of national heroes who resisted the Hulu died in Yi Jing because of his weakness of character.

This…

Lu Yu's eyeballs blinked again and again, and in the end, his pupils were fixed.

It is impossible for Gongsun Zan to defeat Yuan Shao, but... if he is allowed to persevere for a little longer, there is still a chance, and the opportunity just appears in the second and third stages of the northern battlefield!
Thinking about this...

Lu Yu's tone became firm.

"Cao Sikong, maybe... I have a way to delay the decisive battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan for more time, even for a year or so."

call…

After blurting out these words, Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

"really?"

He knows too well what it means to Cao Cao to be able to delay for a year and a half.

More time to clear up hidden dangers, more time to prepare for this battle between Cao and Yuan that determines the ownership of the world!

Undoubtedly, the chances of victory have increased greatly!
only…

"Lu Sinong might as well speak up!"

As soon as this remark came out, Lu Yu smiled and said, "Perhaps, we should give Gongsun Zan a hand?"

"Give me a hand?" Cao Cao frowned and said, "It doesn't seem wise to go north to declare war on Yuan Shao in advance!"

According to Cao Cao's thinking, Yu'er's "pull" means to send troops northward to attack Yuan Shao from both sides.

But he can flank Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao can also unite with Zhang Xiu, Liu Biao, Sun Ce and others to flank him from both sides. In this current situation, it is not wise to do so.

"Cao Sikong was wrong..."

Lu Yu smiled and spoke with confidence. "There is no need to go north, and there is no need to mobilize the crowd. As for the specific method... If Cao Sikong can trust me, then leave it to me, and let me give Gongsun Zan a big gift!"

Great gift?

Cao Cao's eyeballs blinked, seeing Lu Yu's confident appearance, Cao Cao's heart was inexplicably confident.

Yu'er never speaks in vain, what he promised, so far there has never been a single flaw!
Ha ha…

trustworthy?If he couldn't even trust his own Yu'er, who else could he trust?
Cao Cao reached out to help Lu Yu fill a cup of tea.

"Since Lu Sinong has said so, then I will leave the matter of the northern border to you!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao paused, and added: "It doesn't take long, just one year is enough for me, Cao Cao, to stabilize the rear, and it is enough for the battle between me and Yuan Shao to increase my chances of winning!"

this word...

What Cao Cao said was also resolute.

It is true that Yuan Shao has 50 to [-] soldiers and horses in his hands!

But today's Cao Cao is not an idler!

He also holds more than [-] soldiers and horses in his hands, and he is given one year to train this army and horses. He is sure... this army and horses are enough to wipe out the northern border!
And more importantly, Yuan Shao's advisers are like clouds, and generals are like rain, but what about Cao Cao?How could his literature and martial arts be weaker than Yuan Benchu's!

What's more, he still has Yu'er, and the "Yin Lin" who can secure the world to help out!
The outcome of this battle is still unknown.

In this battle, Cao Cao is full of confidence!

"Tea..."

Cao Cao took the initiative to hand the teacup to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu took a sip, and he did not forget to continue talking. "Actually... Lu Yu still has a few things that he wants to tell Cao Sikong. Some of his ideas...will be bold!"

Well…

bold?

Cao Cao raised his head, he likes bold ideas... his heart became interested. "It's good to be bold! Haha...You might as well just say it bluntly, as long as it's your idea, it doesn't matter if you are bold? In a chaotic world, the situation changes rapidly, and most of the time it's just a gamble. If you win, you win. It doesn't matter if you lose. Come again That's right!"

Ah…

Lu Yu felt that Lao Cao's words were very philosophical, and Lao Cao's words were also very philosophical. There was a sense of "crazy if you win, and resistance if you lose".

"Cough cough..." With a light cough, Lu Yu said truthfully, "I'm not going to hide anything from Cao Sikong. I have made some arrangements for Lu Fengxian. Besides him, I also have some arrangements for Chen Gongtai! Just take this opportunity to report Give it to Cao Sikong!"

"Except for them... Next, Cao Sikong has thought about it? How to conquer Wancheng? And... how to investigate and deal with the crisis hidden inside and hidden under the flowers! And... Liu Bei and Liu Xuande!"

...Lu Bu, Chen Gong, and even Wancheng...

It's all right!
However, when Lu Yu mentioned the dangers hidden under the colorful flowers, especially Liu Bei, Cao Cao's eyes froze and his brows furrowed deeply.

Yu'er meant something else!

"Lu Sinong might as well speak up!" Cao Cao asked quite seriously.

"Okay, then I'll tell you one by one, first... Liu Bei and Liu Xuande are ready!" Lu Yu's tone suddenly became serious, and his tone was even more meticulous.

...

...

Xiapi City, Guanyi.

"Ugh…"

With a faint sigh, on the attic, Liu Bei looked at the sky through the window.

At this moment... His mood is like a line of lyrics - the sky is blue, and there are thousands of paper cranes outside the window!

"Brother? Why are you sighing?" Guan Yu walked behind Liu Bei.

"Alas..." Another sigh, he sighed because Cao Cao captured Xiapi too "smoothly" and recruited the enemy generals!
He sighed for his embarrassing situation now!
tragedy...

In Liu Bei's eye sockets, the only two words emerged from the blue sky - Tragedy!
He shook his head helplessly, and said: "Now, our three brothers are in the Cao camp, fortune and misfortune are unpredictable, and the road ahead is even more uncertain! Elder brother feels sorry for the second brother, and also for the third brother!"

this word...

How could Guan Yu not understand?
Cao Cao nominally said that he would bring their brothers back to Xu Capital, and reward them for their merits in front of His Majesty, but in fact... this is going to enter Xu Capital, when will they return?

How can I regain my freedom!
What's even more hateful is that Cao Cao clearly promised to give Qin Yilu's wife to Guan Yu...

But...Last night, after hearing that Cao Cao had talked with Lu Yu, he was in a good mood, turned around and entered Mrs. Du's house!

Not out yet!

Mrs. Du, Guan Changsheng, who used to "watch the gate and protect the courtyard", was thinking of Du Juan!
Again... Missed it again?
Still close at hand, still in the same way!
Because of this, Guan Yu was in a bad mood, and his face turned dark red, full of anger!

——"Cao Cao, you are a traitor, you are an untrustworthy person!"

Guan Yu clenched his hands subconsciously, his expression extremely ugly.

Liu Bei was slightly taken aback. He saw his second brother's expression was a bit weird, but...it didn't seem to be because of the situation, and he couldn't say what the specific reason was!
Just about to ask a question.

But at this time.

"Big Brother, Second Brother..."

The yelling came, but Liu Bei and Guan Yu had heard the yelling of the third brother Zhang Fei before seeing him.

only…

In the past, after the third brother yelled, he would spit out what he wanted to say directly.

But this time...

He walked up to the two elder brothers cautiously, and then whispered solemnly: "Just now when I was drinking, a servant found me!"

drink wine?boy?
Liu Bei and Guan Yu looked at each other, thinking to themselves, this doesn't seem like a big deal, does it?
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei changed the topic.

—— "This boy came from the palace and said he wanted to see the elder brother. The emperor boy has something to tell him to bring to the elder brother!"

This…

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Liu Bei and Guan Yu changed suddenly.

...
