I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 195
Liu Bei can naturally understand the mystery of it. Based on his judgment of the current situation, he is not optimistic about the alliance to win Li. In all likelihood, he will repeat the same mistakes as he did when he tried to win Dong Zhuo back then, and end in a dismal end.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, he knew very well that these two would not be Li Shimin's opponents, and they would not be able to achieve any great things in the end. Cao Cao was the only one who could really threaten Li Shimin.

"Then according to what you said, how can your army and our army cooperate? What benefits can our army gain by taking the risk of offending Cao Cao?" Liu Bei seemed to be persuaded, and asked with great interest.

"Liu Shijun speaks quickly, and Chen admires it. At present, Cao Cao's troops are gathering in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and Qingzhou is empty. This is a god-sent opportunity. God wants to give it to him. If you don't take it, you will suffer. The general can take this opportunity to seize Qingzhou. If the general misses this opportunity God-given opportunity, when Cao Cao recovers, the first thing he will do is to destroy Xuzhou." Chen Lin said eloquently.

Liu Bei thought for a while, then asked suspiciously: "If you don't benefit, you can't get up early, so what good will it do for your lord's army?"

"After our army disintegrates the enemy's alliance, we will definitely attack Cao Cao with heavy troops. Without the restraint of other princes, Cao Cao will undoubtedly lose. At that time, my lord will lead the army to capture Yuzhou and force Cao Cao to retreat. If Cao Cao is in Lost Qingzhou at this time, , the power will be greatly damaged. Your army and ours can attack Yanzhou. As for the ownership of Yanzhou, it depends on who strikes quickly." Chen Lin told everything.

Seeing that Liu Bei was still hesitant, Chen Lin continued: "To show my sincerity, my lord will come forward to recommend Liu Shijun to serve as Xuzhou and Qingzhou prefects, as an official, to benefit the people."

Liu Bei looked at Gongsun Ce, who had been taciturn, and asked with a smile on his face. Gongsun Ce nodded slightly.

Gongsun Ce is capable of both literature and martial arts, and he is highly relied on by Liu Bei, and he will ask his opinion on everything.

"Haha, since that's the case, of course I have no problem, and I am willing to cooperate with the general to defeat Cao Cao." Liu Bei said heartily.

In fact, Liu Bei and others have already aimed at Qingzhou, and Chen Lin's suggestion is in Liu Bei's arms.Firstly, Liu Bei was an official in Qingzhou, known as benevolence and righteousness, deeply loved by the people, and has a good mass foundation.

Moreover, Qingzhou is far away from Cao Cao's army in Yanzhou. Cao Cao will definitely not be able to rush to help in a short time.

Winning Qingzhou is another base for Liu Bei, and his strength will also skyrocket.As for Yanzhou and Yuzhou, both Cao Cao and Li Shimin are fighting for the territory. Liu Bei has limited troops at this time, and he doesn't want to rush into it in the short term.

"Since this is the case, I will wait for Liu Shijun's good news, but I can reveal a piece of news to you, that is, Gongsun Zan has chosen to cooperate with our army. At this time, I am afraid that Jizhou has been taken by our army. Yuan Shao's fall is imminent. General You have to seize the time, haha." Chen Lin smiled mysteriously.

"Sir, are you serious?" Liu Bei asked in surprise.

"It's absolutely true! I believe Shijun will hear news soon, so we can wait and see." Chen Lin said unequivocally.

Seeing Chen Lin's very determined expression, Liu Bei thought in his heart that it might be true. Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan had always had conflicts, and the two had once fought over Jizhou.It is not uncommon for Gongsun Zan to be persuaded by Li Shimin to fight back.

"Thank you sir for telling me, I know how to do it." After speaking, he gave a deep salute.

Seeing that her mission had been completed, Chen Lin didn't stay any longer, and left with fists in her hands.

Zhang Fei, who had been holding back for a long time, asked puzzledly: "Brother, why do you want to cooperate with Li Shimin, we can still win Qingzhou without them."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "I said, third brother, when will your straight-forward nature be changed? Now that our army is in decline, we urgently need allies. It's the so-called long-distance friendship and short-term attack. Wouldn't it be great to unite with the enemy's enemy to attack your own enemy together?" huh?"

Zhang Fei stared at his copper bell-like eyes, as if he was still puzzled.

Gongsun Ce shook his head with a smile and said, "Third Brother, as long as you understand, you're right to follow Big Brother. It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, you will understand later."

"Haha..." The three looked at each other and laughed loudly.

…………

Cao Jun, who had been attacking Hulao Pass in the area of ​​Xingyang, thought that Xu Huang's army could perform miracles, but after waiting for half a month, the news of Xu Huang's disastrous return came, which made Cao Cao very disappointed.

Seeing Xu Huang kneeling down to plead guilty and devastated, Cao Cao was furious, and immediately wanted to cut Xu Huang to rectify the military law. Under the begging of everyone, Cao Cao still said sternly: "Death crimes can be avoided, but life crimes cannot be escaped. Pull them out." Take heavy responsibility for the Eighty Army Sticks."

In fact, Cao Cao had nothing to do with Li Shimin at this time. Now that the sneak attack on the South Road had ended in failure, he stormed Hulao Pass for more than half a month and still could not shake him a bit.

I am afraid that continuing to attack will only cause more damage, and the gain outweighs the loss.

It is said that Yuan Shu in Huainan is already attacking Wuguan, but there is no news.Cao Ren in Hanoi has not yet reached Geely as planned, and the two sides have been unable to open up the situation for a long time, which makes Cao Cao worried.

What worried him even more was Gongsun Zan from Youzhou and Yuan Shao from Jizhou. So far, there was no news. If something happened to these two, the battle for Li might end without a problem.

…………

Finally, the news of the fierce battle in Hanoi came.

"My lord, my lord, the battle report from Hanoi." The captain shouted and rushed towards the big tent.

"Hurry up, submit it." Cao Cao, who had been anxiously waiting for the news, said hurriedly, walked down the high platform towards the captain, and snatched the report from the captain's hand.

Cao Cao quickly scanned the report, and laughed excitedly: "Haha, good news, Zixiao and Zhongde have already arrived in Jili County, and are collecting large ships, waiting for orders, ready to cross the Yellow River at any time and head straight for Luoyang. "

"My lord, good news, everything is alive now." Guo Jia also said with a smile.

Just when everyone was happy, a short and anxious shout suddenly interrupted everyone's thoughts, "My lord, the scouts report urgently."

Cao Cao's heart skipped a beat, as if he had a bad premonition that the culprit was about to happen.

Cao Cao calmly asked: "Why are you so flustered, what's the proper way, let's talk." After speaking, he went to the upper seat and sat upright alone.

"My lord, Yuan Shao's army was caught by Zhao Yun's army in Huai County. They came across the sea and made a surprise attack from behind. They defeated Yuan Shao in one fell swoop. Yuan Shao was defeated and fled with [-] soldiers in a hurry, leaving [-] to [-] prisoners. I heard that Yuan Shao's generals Wen Chou, Han Wait until someone dies in battle."
