Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

"Let's go." Liu Bei said with a smile.

The two of them walked into the meeting room together and sat down.

"Today, the two of us are discussing the matters of conquering Yanzhou and Beihai County." Chen Gong said.

Liu Bei's face was solemn: "Brother Chen Gong, let's be frank, what do you mean?"

Chen Gong looked at Liu Bei with a smile: "My meaning is very simple. We can form an alliance."

"Alliance?" Liu Bei exclaimed, and then asked: "Alliance? Why do we need an alliance?"

"My lord, we all know that the conflict between Yuan Shao and Sun Jian has already broken out.

I think the Yuan family and the Sun family will definitely fight to the death, so their attention will be distracted. This situation is very beneficial to the lord. "Chen Gong said.

Liu Bei nodded, this was indeed a good thing.

Liu Bei asked again: "But Yuan Shao and Sun Jian have many times more troops than Cao Cao. Can our alliance win?"

Chen Gong smiled and said, "My lord, our alliance is not only to help Cao Cao fight Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, we can also use the power of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to weaken Yuan Shao and Sun Jian."

Liu Bei's eyes lit up and he asked, "Go on."

"Cao's army is much stronger than Yuan Shu and Sun Jian. Whoever wins this battle will be able to control the entire Jingzhou.

It can even threaten the situation in Jiangnan." Chen Gong said.

"Although Yuan Shao and Sun Jian were allies, they were also competitors, so struggle between them was inevitable.

If Cao Cao won, Yuan Shao would suffer heavy losses. Similarly, Sun Jian would be in trouble.

We can take this opportunity to drive Cao Cao away, or cooperate with Cao Cao and capture Jiangdong."

Liu Bei said excitedly: "If so, it is really a good thing."

Liu Bei was a little excited. If he succeeded, his power would be strengthened.

Liu Bei said, "But what should we do? Will Cao Cao agree?"

"My Lord, we don't need to do anything extra. We can provide food and fodder, and Cao Cao also needs food and fodder.

They both need it, so they will naturally cooperate. Then we can just sit back and enjoy the benefits. "Chen Gong said.

"Well, what Yuan Hao said makes sense. But Cao Cao may not agree. After all, Cao Cao and Sun Jian are allies, and such a thing may not be easy to handle." Liu Bei said worriedly.

"It's okay, I'll take care of this matter." Chen Gong said calmly.

"This." Liu Bei hesitated.

Chen Gong waved his hand and said, "My lord, don't worry. You are the lord, you need to think carefully and don't act rashly."

"In that case, Yuan Hao, you will be responsible for contacting Cao Cao. When the time comes, we will send troops." Liu Bei finally gave in.

"Yes!" Chen Gong said respectfully.

Liu Bei brought Liu Ye back to his mansion. After giving Liu Ye a few instructions, he went to the court to handle official business.

Liu Ye went to arrange contact with Cao Cao.

When Xiahou Yuan learned that Chen Gong had sent someone to deliver the letter, he snorted coldly.

"Chen Gong is indeed cunning, using such a trick. My lord, I request to lead the troops to destroy Liu Bei."

Xiahou Yuan had a rather hot temper and he thought Chen Gong was deceiving him.

Xun Yu stopped him and said with a smile: "Fengxiao, I will handle this matter.

Go and tell Cao Ren to get ready.

Remember to keep a low profile and never be noticed by the enemy."

Xiahou Yuan was unwilling to accept this, but he also knew that Xun Yu's wisdom was not inferior to his own, so he decided to follow Xun Yu's instructions. After Xiahou Yuan left, Xun Yu said to Guo Tu, Xi Zhicai, and Ju Shou: "Everyone, the matter of Liu Bei and Chen Gong will be handled by the three of you."

The three of them clasped their fists and said yes.

Guo Tu laughed and said, "Wen Ruo, aren't you afraid that Chen Gong and Liu Bei will join forces to deal with you?"

"They don't dare, and even if they do, the three of us working together are enough to deal with them." Xun Yu said.

"Okay, let's act now without further delay." Xi Zhicai said.

After the four men finished their discussion, they sent envoys to Cao Cao and Sun Jian respectively.

Cao Cao's performance during this period has aroused speculation from others.

Cao Cao was a cautious man, so he did not agree immediately. Instead, he consulted Cheng Yu before deciding to meet Liu Bei and others.

On the same day, Cao Cao summoned Xu Shu, Dian Wei, Lu Bu and Shen Pei and told them about this.

After hearing that Liu Bei wanted an alliance, everyone fell silent.

Liu Bei is a relative of the Han royal family. If they really form an alliance with Liu Bei, then they will not be able to kill Liu Bei.

Shen Pei was the first to speak: "My lord, I support the alliance!"

Xu Shu and Shen Pei were sworn enemies. He sneered, "Alliance? Liu Bei actually wanted to form an alliance with the lord. It's simply a pipe dream."

Cao Cao didn't speak, and neither did anyone else.

Xu Shu continued, "My Lord, I suggest that we cut off the marriage between Liu Bei, Chen Gui and Sun Ce.

Cao Ang is a scoundrel with great ambitions. If Liu Bei and the Sun family were to marry, there is no guarantee that Cao Ang would not do something shady to Liu Bei."

The marriage between Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang was already known to everyone, and they did not refute it.

"Prime Minister, I think this is inappropriate." Ju Su said, "Cao Ang is too ambitious. If he succeeds, our army will be attacked from all sides.

Moreover, Cao Ang's power had expanded to Jizhou, and Liu Bei was clear about this.

He is now in alliance with Sun Ce, which is a good opportunity to contain Cao Ang. This is a brilliant move."

"Whether Liu Bei did it intentionally or not, we cannot destroy this alliance," Cao Cao said.

"Yuan Hao, please deal with Liu Bei as soon as possible. I want to know the specific conditions.

As for the alliance between Liu Bei and Sun Jian, we will wait and see for now, and deal with them after both of them are defeated."

"As you wish!" Chen Gong said with a bow.

Liu Bei didn't know that Cao Cao had already made his choice and he had already begun planning an alliance.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei each had their own ulterior motives and were calculating against each other, but unfortunately both calculated wrongly and in the end both sides suffered losses.

On the other hand, Zhao Yun also received news that Liu Bei and Liu Xie were going to form an alliance.

"Lord Xuande actually wants to form an alliance with Liu Zhang. This is not acceptable." Zhao Yun's face was solemn. He knew very well that this would have a huge impact on them.

Huang Zhong and Lu Bu also frowned. They did not expect that Liu Bei would form an alliance with Liu Zhang.

"What does Lord Xuande think?" Huang Zhong asked puzzledly.

"I don't understand." Zhao Yun shook his head and said in distress: "If Lord Xuande is willing to form an alliance with Liu Zhang, our pressure will be even greater. This matter must be stopped."

Lu Bu stood up and said, "Zilong, don't worry. I will definitely bring Lord Xuande back."

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun nodded to each other, and the matter was handed over to Lu Bu.
