Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 569

Not long after, Wang Meng, Liu Bowen, Jia Xu, Xun You, Guo Jia, and Pang Tong gathered in Lu Bu's study.

"Let's all read this secret report." Lu Bu handed over the secret report.

After everyone circulated it, Lu Bu asked, "What is Cao Cao's intention in doing this?"

"If the discussion between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu is true, it means that Cao Cao has figured out that staying in Yanzhou is meaningless, and sooner or later he will be ruined by his lord, so he wants to find another treasure land for development." Guo Jia said first.

"Cao Cao said he didn't want the territory in one state, so he didn't want it?" Lu Bu asked very puzzled.

"My lord, there is nothing wrong with Cao Cao's move. It is meaningless for him to stay in Yanzhou. Even if he uses all of Yanzhou's troops to conquer the six counties of Xuzhou, Qingzhou is not something he can spy on. If he launches an army against Qingzhou, it will take a few days. Within a short period of time, soldiers and horses from the four prefectures will gather in Qingzhou, and Cao Cao will not only be unable to capture Qingzhou, but will also catch up with Xuzhou and Yanzhou and go to defeat." Wang Meng explained.

"But why did he want to give Yanzhou to Yuan Shu instead of me? Although Yuan Shu occupies the precious land of Nanyang, how can Yuan Shu compare with me when it comes to money and grain?" Lu Bu asked.

"My lord, Cao Cao's move is nothing more than trying to stir up a fight between you and Yuan Shu, and win it for a year and a half. If Yuan Shu wins Yanzhou, there will be a battle between you and him sooner or later. This is exactly what Cao Cao said. It is a great opportunity to conquer cities, develop people's livelihood and recruit troops." Pang Tong replied.

"I see! Where will Cao Cao go? Jingzhou? Jiaozhou? Or Yizhou?"

"According to my subordinates, Cao Cao will most likely choose Yizhou. Although Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou, is weak, Jingzhou is full of rivers and rivers, and Cao Cao has no navy under his command. It is not easy to take down Jingzhou, and Jingzhou has several barbarians. These guys are hard nuts to crack. Cao Cao has limited time, so he won't waste too much time in Jingzhou; as for Jiaozhou, the situation of Jiaozhou and Yanzhou is not much different. To a certain extent, Jiaozhou is not even as good as Yanzhou. And the most important point is: Jiaozhou is sparsely populated, so why would Cao Cao abandon Yanzhou and go to Jiaozhou instead?" Liu Bowen said, shaking his feather fan lightly.

"However, Yizhou is full of natural dangers, and the army is strong and the food is sufficient. It is not easy to conquer Yizhou!" Lu Bu was puzzled.

"If Cao Cao entered Yizhou from the land of Jingxiang, then this battle would indeed be difficult to fight; but if Cao Cao entered from Hanzhong, then everything would be settled." Xun You explained.

"Zhang Lu in Hanzhong!" Lu Bu suddenly realized.

"Then should I send troops to intercept Cao Cao's entry into Shu? Wenhe, tell me." Lu Bu asked.

"My lord, according to my humble opinion, you don't need to stop Cao Cao." Jia Xu, who was named, replied blankly.

"Oh? What's the reason?" Lu Bu asked with interest.

"Cao Cao will definitely borrow Yuan Shu, and then go round and round from Xiliang to Hanzhong. If you want to send troops to intercept, first you have to fight Yuan Shu, and second, you have to conflict with various forces in Xiliang. This is not worth the loss. .” Jia Xu replied.

"Then let Cao Cao enter Shu?" Lu Bu asked.

"My subordinates think that there are two ways to solve this matter." Jia Xu replied.

"Speak!" Lu Bu said.

"First, you can use Zhang Lu's high-ranking officials and rich salary to ask Zhang Lu to keep Cao Cao outside Hanzhong, so that Cao Cao can only take root in Xiliang!" Jia Xu said.

"Secondly, this plan is a bottom-line plan. You can send a few confidant generals who are not well-known to worship under Liu Zhang. There are not many generals under Liu Zhang's command. The generals you send only need to show their talents, and they will be killed by Liu Zhang." Pay attention to entrusting important tasks; after Cao Cao captures Yizhou, he will definitely recruit Liu Zhang's old troops, and the generals you send will become Cao Cao's generals. environment." Jia Xu said slowly.

Lu Bu nodded approvingly after hearing this. As expected of Jia Xu, a poisonous man, this strategy is indeed quite poisonous!

With the two strategies, Cao Cao couldn't afford any good fruit.

But in comparison, Lu Bu is still more inclined to the second strategy.

The first strategy can only temporarily solve the problem, but the second strategy is a bottom line, and the pros and cons of it can be seen at a glance.

"I'll think about this matter again, and you all step down!" Lu Bu ordered after thinking about it.

"Your subordinates will leave!" Everyone left with their hands in their hands.

After the advisers left, Lu Bu was still thinking about the feasibility of the two strategies.

If Zhang Lu were asked to block Cao Cao from Hanzhong, although doing so would prevent Cao Cao from entering Shu, with the strength of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, it is estimated that Xiliang would be unified by Cao Cao, and the land of Sili might not be spared, so this move is quite important. Lu Bu didn't like the idea of ​​fighting a fire with a salary.

And whether Zhang Lu will pretend to be a snake is not a question for the time being, if Zhang Lu temporarily betrays the water, then things will be broken.

Lu Bu didn't like to place bets on outsiders. After all, it's better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. Try not to ask others to do what you can do by yourself.

It is not a problem to send generals to Yizhou. After all, there is a system here, and the day of the next call is coming soon. If there is no accident, how can we get one or two generals.

How about doing both?While contacting Zhang Lu, send someone to undercover under Liu Zhang?

Thinking about Lu Bu was a little annoying, so he simply didn't think about it, anyway, it wouldn't be too late to think about it after the next summoning.

After thinking about it, Lu Bu stood up and stretched himself.

When his eyes fell on the secret report sent from Jingzhou, Lu Bu shook his head helplessly. Is it still impossible to break up this pair after all?Pity!

As everyone knows, there is a definite plan for everything in the dark, and what you see in front of you may not be the final result and destination.

……

Jingzhou, Xinye.

On this day, Liu Bei summoned his subordinates to discuss matters, and everyone gathered together, ready to listen to Liu Bei's instructions.

"Brothers, let me introduce to you. This is the famous Mr. Wolong! From now on, Mr. Wolong will be the military advisor of our army. Everyone, including me, needs to obey the command of the military advisor. , No matter who it is, the military adviser can kill first and play later!" Liu Bei said in a surprised tone.

"Military Master, please take the sword!" Liu Bei ignored the crowd of civil and military men who were looking at each other, but respectfully handed over the sword he was carrying with him.

"My lord, is this a little thoughtless?" Sun Qian cupped his hands.

"I have made up my mind, so there is no need to say more." Liu Bei said firmly.

"Brother, he's just a mountain..." Wei Wentong said angrily.

"Shut up!" Wei Wentong was interrupted by Liu Bei's angry reprimand before he finished speaking.

"Don't talk too much, do you want to disobey me?" Liu Bei said angrily.

"Little brother dare not." Wei Wentong sighed.

"Don't dare, third brother, inform the three armies of Mr. Wolong's appointment as a military advisor. Anyone who dares to disrespect the military advisor will be executed without mercy!" Liu Bei ordered.

"Your subordinates take orders!" Seeing Liu Bei's resolute attitude, all civil and military personnel had to bow their hands in unison.

Looking at Liu Bei with a devout face, Zhuge Liang sighed unrecognizably, and secretly said "Sorry" in his heart.

　The second watch arrives!Ask for a ticket every day, thank you buddy!
