Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 747 Liu Bei's Chance

The wind in Yanzhou changed, blowing a salty breath with the smell of blood.

When Liu Bei met Cao Cao, it could be said that they were enemies meeting each other, and they were extremely jealous.

The most traumatizing time for Liu Bei so far was when Cao Cao suddenly attacked his army.

The two broke up completely after that time, and neither of them issued any letters of credence after establishing their respective kingdoms.

Liu Beice immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "Cao Cao, I'm afraid you didn't expect that I would lead an army to appear in front of you so quickly.

The hatred of the past will be repaid to you today! "

However, Cao Cao smiled nonchalantly and said: "Soldiers never tire of deceit, but Liu Xuande is too stupid. I just tried a little trick, but you lost your troops and generals. I really can't blame me."

Now that you are resorting to the strategy of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao, have you ever thought that our troops would divide into two groups and come to meet you?
Let me let you know now, how big the strength gap is between you and me! "

The soldiers of Wei State all shouted in unison, the sound was like thunder. There were not many cavalry in the army, but their swords and spears were like a forest, and their armors were bright. They were lined up in rows, just like blocking out the sky and the sun.

In Liu Bei's military camp, Liu Bei's face looked a little ugly.

Luo Qi coughed lightly and said: "Your Majesty, Cao Cao is completely different now than when he attacked Yuan Shao.

He seized the most fertile land in Wei County, Hedong and Hanoi completely fell to him, and owned Cao Cao in the Sanhe area.

If he dares to risk the disapproval of the world, he can even move the capital to Luoyang! "

When Liu Bei heard this, he felt that his teeth were about to be broken.

That's Luoyang!

With a history of more than 300 years since the Zhou Dynasty, Luoyang has been the capital of the world for nearly a thousand years. There is the crown of the Later Han Dynasty!

If it were occupied by Cao Cao, a rebellious minister and traitor, wouldn't it be...

Liu Ye frowned and said: "Your Majesty, although Cao Cao led the main force here, our army has elite soldiers and brave generals.

The four generals of Guan, Zhang, Zhao and Taishi are all top-notch generals who have never been born in the world, and they have the courage that no man can match.

Don’t be afraid of Cao Jun!

Especially since Cao Jun is fighting on two fronts, as long as our army drags Cao Jun here, he will definitely lose sight of one thing.

Cao Cao's current rule relies entirely on a powerful army.

He found excuses to kill ministers and scholars who were close to the Han Dynasty, but he could not stop the people of the world from talking.

There are many people in the court who oppose him, and he cannot kill them all.

Once he is dragged here, these internal and external problems will erupt and destroy everything he has. "

Everyone nodded in approval.

Military power is the support of everything, but under certain circumstances it is not so crucial.

A powerful force that can fight against the whole world may be wiped out without losing a single bit of its army.

A country that seemed completely immune to destruction could be plunged into unprecedented humiliation by the emperor's hasty surrender.

War is a continuation of politics, and military goals are based on political goals. This is a theory that overrides all military theories.

If discord arises within Cao Wei and falls into crazy internal fighting, the combat effectiveness of Cao Wei's army will be greatly weakened, and it may even be completely defeated in foreign wars.

When the Qin State destroyed the Shandong states, it was not so much a military victory as a political victory. Almost all of those powerful opponents were solved by non-military means.

Then what happened in Zhao Guozhong was reported to Liu Beijun.

Suddenly everyone fell into silence, even Luo Qi was a little confused.

He never expected that the boomerang would hit him so quickly.

Before Wei had any problems, Zhao had problems first, and political changes did affect Zhao's military.

Everything he said was correct, but it was a pity that the person who fulfilled it was wrong.

According to the calculations of Luo Qi and others, after Yecheng was defeated, it was the best time to attack.

Because the Wei army will definitely not miss this golden opportunity and will definitely launch a massive attack.

The Wei army will completely leave the mainland, and the pressure on the food road will increase instantly.

At this time, if Liu Bei attacks the Wei army again, the Wei army will be in a dilemma between attacking Liu Bei or continuing to attack Zhao.

Although Zhao State's Ye city was destroyed, it could hold the Wei army for a long time with its strength. The city of Handan alone could hold on for a year and a half.

King Yuan Tan of Zhao and his ministers had a strong will to resist and would not negotiate peace with Cao Cao.

Such a long time is enough for Chu State to fully recover and then the army can enter.

All the plans were perfect. This was supposed to be Liu Bei's decisive victory over Cao Cao. At least Cao Cao would lose his troops and lose his generals, and he would never be able to get involved in Hebei again.

Absolutely did not expect ah.

The transparent Queen Mother Liu and the pig-dog-like Yuan Shang were able to completely destroy the strategy devised by Luo Qi and others.

Liu Bei's hands were shaking a little. At this moment, he even felt that God was really helping Cao Cao and why all the good things happened to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao escaped safely from several crises due to sudden changes.

This kind of overwhelming luck made Liu Bei itch with hatred. Why was it so difficult to win against Cao Cao once?
Liu Bei took a few deep breaths. He wanted to completely calm down his agitated mood. He took three deep breaths in a row. He failed and roared loudly: "Thieves who rebel against the lord are the same thieves as Cao Cao!

If I were the lord of Jizhou, I would definitely kill all the disloyal and unjust people in Jizhou. It is really hateful.

Sirs, what should we do now?
This Cao Jun..."

Cao Jun was really helpless now.

A trace of unwillingness flashed in Luo Qi's eyes, and he coughed twice. This battle was the battle he was preparing to win over Jinan for Liu Bei.

He wanted to push the power of Chu State further before his death, but now it has ended like this, how could he be willing to do so?
But what if you are not satisfied?

Luo Zi has a stable character and rarely does risky things.

His first reaction was to retreat, but Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said, "Ziqi, is it possible for our army to fight Cao Cao?"

Luo Qi and everyone could tell that Liu Bei didn't want to leave!
He had suffered too many losses from Cao Cao, and he really wanted to fight back.

No one found anything strange about Liu Bei's choice.

This is Liu Bei's character. Even though he is now a vassal king, he is still full of the spirit of a knight-errant.

Among all the kings in the world, only Cao Cao has the most royal appearance.

But if you want to stay, of course not!

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, Guan Yu is willing to be the vanguard. In Cao Cao's camp, only Dian Wei and Xu Chu are brave. The rest are all traitors. I am willing to rush out of the formation." Take their heads and return them." Zhang Fei shouted: "Your Majesty, I will do the same. I will poke dozens of holes for them to come out. Even Xu Chu will stab him to death."

Zhao Yun didn't say anything, he just stood with his hands behind his hands, as if he was sinking into the abyss. Taishi Ci said excitedly: "I have a bow in my hand. I will kill whoever the king wants to die!"

The four most important generals of Chu State all expressed their attitudes.

Luo Qi and Liu Ye looked at each other with a headache. These generals didn't care about anything else as long as there was a war.

The two of them were thinking about how to persuade Liu Bei when they heard Liu Bei sigh: "Alas.

Everyone knows what the generals want.

But today I am being willful. I know that I should not fight against the now powerful Cao Cao and prepare to retreat.

Another chess move missed.

Never again next time! "

Liu Bei, who just wanted to fight to the death with Cao Cao, changed his attitude in a short period of time, which made both Luo Qi and Liu Ye a little curious.

The reason is actually quite simple.

Liu Bei was really unwilling. After all, he and Cao Cao had such a big hatred.

But to be honest, Liu Bei was very cruel to himself and he was very tolerant.

So there is no reason in my heart that I must support him in a fight to the death with Cao Cao.

Those who agreed that he should fight Cao Cao were all generals, and the two great think-tanks of the Chu State looked troubled. Liu Bei naturally knew what to do.

Liu Bei decided to retreat, but Luo Qi frowned and said softly: "Just like that, Cao Cao got the land of Zhao. After a few years, when he has a firm foothold, our Chu country is in danger of being destroyed.

Although the Zhao Kingdom was established for a short time, the Yuan family has ruled for two generations since Yuan Shao entered Hebei, and the people's support cannot be shaken by Cao Cao in a short period of time.

This time Cao Cao accepts Zhao's surrender, there will still be a large number of Zhao's remaining forces in Hebei. This is the inevitable outcome of accepting surrender.

Now that Cao Cao has just entered the State of Zhao, the relationship is complicated, and it will take a long time for him to master the homeland of the State of Zhao.

This is our opportunity.

Your Majesty, Cao Cao's next attack on our army should not be too strong, because he cannot have such a big appetite that he can swallow up the Zhongnan and Qingxu states of Jizhou at the same time.

He would just die.

I believe that although Zhao State can no longer assist our army to enable Cao Cao to fight on two fronts, the plan cannot be abandoned.

It is still necessary to sever the relationship between the Wei State and the Han Dynasty, and it is still necessary to find a powerful enemy for the Wei State, making him unable to do anything, even causing Cao Cao to continue to lose blood, and finally drag him down. "

powerful enemy?
Liu Bei guessed a few people.

Luo Qi said slowly: "Sizhou is too chaotic, and the princes are constantly fighting with each other, especially in the Central Plains.

If the Wu State is too strong and allows them to obtain Cao Cao's Runan and other places, it will pose a greater threat to the core of Xuzhou than Cao Cao. The two states of Qingxu and Qingxu will help each other. If one state is lost, the other state will be difficult to defend.

Moreover, Wu State is interested in the Kingdom of Shu and is determined to build an iron-clad southern defense line. It is lucky not to peek at Huaisi, the State of Chu, and will never ally with our State of Chu.

Lu Bu, he used to be an ally of Zhao, but his current attitude is unknown.

The key is whether Lu Qiling followed Yuan Tan and surrendered to Cao Cao. If Lu Qiling was not there, then Lu Bu's attitude would be quite ambiguous.

Many times now, the only people in the world who are powerful and can help us are Lu Bu and the State of Yan. "

Yan country?

Although they knew that Luo Qi would definitely say this name, everyone was still shocked when he actually said it.

You must know that the king of Yan State is the person who directly calls the emperor, and he is the only person who established another dynasty outside the Han Dynasty.

Wouldn't it be ridiculous to ask Liu Bei, a member of the Han clan, to unite with the Yan state?

This is a huge political disaster.

Some things cannot be done, and some words cannot be said. Even if everyone knows it, they still have to pretend not to know.

But everyone knew that Lozzi could not make such an obvious mistake.

Sure enough, Luo Qi then said: "However, it is absolutely forbidden to form an alliance with Yan State. We can only use Yan State to cause conflict with Cao Cao.

The Yan State was strong, but lacked food and grass, so it could not go south. It could only watch the Wei State, which was far more threatening than the Zhao State, appear on its south side. Even Bohai County was under Cao Cao's military front.

I don't believe that Yan State doesn't want to attack.

Now that our army is no longer willing to fight to the death with Cao Cao, I think that we can resell some grain and grass supplies to the Yan State through private merchants, so that the Yan State can recover quickly.

The state of Yan will be established by force, and it will take at most half a year, or at the earliest, I don't know. The state of Yan will have a battle with Cao Cao. By that time, even if it cannot win, Cao Cao's rule over Jizhou will be greatly delayed.

This is the best news for us! "

Drive away wolves!

The classic strategy of leveraging strength uses entangled interests and political situations to force both sides into a state of war.

This is a great gift that Luo Qi came up with for Cao Cao just now in desperation.

I don't know whether Cao Cao liked it or not, but Liu Bei liked it quite a lot, and even burst out laughing. The previous gloominess caused by missing the opportunity completely dissipated.

"Just do what Zi Qi said. Zi Yang, you and Zi Qi will work out the most complete plan together. We must prevent Cao Cao from truly controlling Jizhou within a few years."

If Jizhou cannot be truly controlled, the taxes collected will be reduced, and the number of troops and resources that can be mobilized will be reduced.

It is impossible to completely stop Cao Cao. This is the best outcome that can be achieved.

As for what to do next?
Liu Bei turned his attention to Luo Qi again. Since he was able to propose this plan just now, he must have already made plans for the future.

Luo Qi did have the prototype of another plan in his mind, but it was a bit strange and involved many people. He was not sure whether Liu Bei could accept it or whether the ministers of Chu State could accept it.

So he whispered: "Your Majesty, I do have some ideas, but it is not convenient to talk about it here now. I will discuss it with you after the meeting is over."

Oh?
Now Liu Bei was even more curious.

What kind of strategy is this to make Luo Qi so secretive?
Liu Bei's curiosity reached its peak almost instantly, and he immediately said to everyone: "My lords, prepare your troops and horses immediately, prepare to evacuate Yanzhou, defend the passage to Qingzhou, and welcome Cao Cao's attack."

Everyone responded "Here" in unison, and then walked out of the tent. Luo Qi began to slowly talk about his thoughts. The expression on Liu Bei's face was very exciting, a little shocked, and a little emotional.

----

The emperor often taught the prince: "A person's success depends on both human affairs and destiny. In the first half of my life, I worked bravely, but sometimes I was defeated due to non-war crimes. At that time, my heart was depressed and I couldn't control myself.

As everyone knows, God's will is deflected and the person who loves and never abandons me will eventually be favored by me. The fortune is mine, so I have this foundation.

You should also remember that victory and defeat are common events, and you should not waste your time because of this. The way to vitality lies within it. "——"Ji Hanshu·The Benji of Xuanlie"
