Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 11 The counselors under Cao Ying were crushed by their IQ!
  Cao Cao was shocked by Ye Fan's plan. He was horrified and wanted to ask again, but found that Ye Fan fell asleep holding the wine jar aside.

"Uh... that's fine."

Seeing that he couldn't ask any more questions, Cao Cao immediately stood up and left, quickly returned to his tent, and summoned his generals Wenchen overnight.

Because just after the birth, everyone was woken up from their sleep, thinking that something big had happened, and everyone seemed a little panicked.

"Prime Minister, what happened?"

Xun You adjusted his clothes before entering the tent. As soon as he entered, he started asking questions.

Cao Cao glanced at them and motioned for them to calm down first.

"I asked you to come here. I just have some plans for you to do."

Cao Ren scratched his head and asked with some confusion: "Prime Minister, haven't you already gone to chase Liu Bei? What else can you do?"

Cao Cao sighed silently, compared Cao Ren and Ye Fan, and suddenly felt in his heart that "the generals in the army are not as good as the fire-headed soldiers".

But how many people are there in this world like Ye Fan?
  "Have you ever thought about what to do next if you fail to pursue Liu Bei?"

Cao Ren, Xu Huang and other generals all frowned. They had never thought about what would happen if they could not catch up with Liu Bei, because they were generals and were accustomed to obeying Cao Cao's orders when they did not lead the troops alone but followed Cao Cao.

Cao Cao asked them to pursue Liu Bei, so they pursued him and tried their best to complete the order, so this question made them all stunned.

On the other hand, the counselors all frowned. It was obvious that they had also thought about this problem, and some had even thought of a solution in their minds, but they did not say it out loud, waiting for Cao Cao's next words.

"Hmph, you have to be considerate as a general. How can I trust you to lead the army alone when you are like this?" Cao Cao seemed to be admonishing, but in fact he was caring and caring.

Then he straightened his expression, glanced at everyone and said: "Liu Bei is likely to escape, so we must be fully prepared."

"Liu Bei's only support is Jiangxia. Therefore, as long as his escape route is cut off, Liu Bei will have nowhere to escape and will have no choice but to be captured!"

Liu Ye took advantage of the situation and said, "The Prime Minister is wise!"

Yang Xiu stood there with disdain on his face, and said to himself: "I have thought of this a long time ago, but I just didn't say it out loud. Since the prime minister spoke first, I will tell you my plan... Zhuge Pifu, I have my plan. The plan leaves you with no way to escape!"

Thinking of this, he was about to speak, but Cao Cao continued to speak.

"First of all, we are going to bribe Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. The Cai family is a wealthy family in Jingzhou, and Cai Mao is a relative of Liu Biao. He is a mortal enemy of Liu Qi from Jiangxia, so it is necessary to win them over."

"Send someone to tell them that as long as they surrender to me, they will be high-ranking and well-paid. But if they don't surrender, they will have to wait until Cheng Poshen dies!"

His subordinate Xun You immediately raised his hands and said: "Yes, Prime Minister, I will arrange for people to leave overnight!"

"No hurry, wait until I finish." Cao Cao waved his hand.

Yang Xiu's expression became a little ugly, because the plan Cao Cao told was exactly what he wanted to say, and he was very uncomfortable being unable to show his talents.

He was already a very proud man, but the sudden appearance of Zhuge Liang, who was extremely talented, made him want to compare. Even though he had no quarrel with Zhuge Liang, he wanted to outdo Zhuge Liang.

"I have another idea..."

But before Yang Xiu could speak, Cao Cao revealed the next arrangement.

"Similarly, Liu Qi also sent people there, saying that after Liu Biao dies, I will naturally help him become the lord of Jingzhou and deal with the Cai family, as long as he does not accept Liu Bei, otherwise our army will conquer Jiangxia!"

Yang Xiu's eyes widened. If these two strategies were carried out at the same time, they would definitely have unexpected results. This was a strategy that he came up with in a day, but unexpectedly, Cao Cao thought of it.

He was a little shocked for a moment.

The other counselors also nodded.

"A two-pronged approach will ensure that Liu Bei will not be able to escape. Prime Minister is so smart!" Cheng Yu couldn't help but admired. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao didn't stop talking here.

"Also, send people out to spread the news in Jingzhou, saying that the Cai family wants to seize power. Remember to send more people. I want this news to spread throughout Jingzhou within a few days!"

The counselors present were all smart people. After Cao Cao said it, he immediately figured out the secret and couldn't help but admire him.

When Jingzhou is in chaos, they will not only take the opportunity to destroy Liu, but it will also be easy to take Jingzhou again.

Yang Xiu's face turned a little pale. He actually felt as if his IQ was being crushed. He said angrily in his heart: "Why didn't I think of this?"

But Jia Xu, who was in the first position below Cao Cao, his eyes lit up and he looked at Cao Cao secretly. Why was this strategy similar to his style?
  "Also, arrange for a few dead soldiers to infiltrate the people who follow Liu Bei and spread rumors that Liu Bei wants to go to Jiangxia to seize power. This matter must be arranged quickly, otherwise it will be bad if Liu Bei escapes."

"At the same time, I ordered them to assassinate Liu Qi if they enter Jiangxia. Even if they fail, they will kill Liu Bei who ordered him!"

After speaking in one breath, Cao Cao glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Do you understand everything?"

It was surprisingly quiet in the big tent. Not only the counselors, but also generals such as Xu Huang and Cao Ren were stunned. This series of arrangements was enough to drive Liu Bei to death!
  Jia Xu, Xun You and others all looked up at Cao Cao, unable to believe that this was a strategy that Cao Cao came up with in such a short period of time.

Link after link, both ruthless and gentle, making them feel deeply ashamed of themselves.

Yang Xiu, who was the proudest, almost felt weak after hearing all Cao Cao's arrangements. In comparison, the two strategies he came up with seemed nothing.

"Did the Prime Minister really come up with this? Now it seems that the Prime Minister is ten times smarter than me!"

Cheng Yu was the first to speak, and sincerely complimented: "Prime Minister, we are deeply impressed by your cleverness!"

"The Prime Minister is brilliant!"

Others also shouted.

At this moment, Cao Cao was greatly satisfied. Even though he did not come up with these strategies, he still felt very useful when he saw the admiration on his counselors' faces.

These counselors have always been proud, and it was the first time for even Cao Cao to see them look like this.

Soon, everyone left one after another. They began to select suitable candidates overnight and rushed to complete Cao Cao's order.

The generals and counselors in Cao's camp had a sleepless night.

A few days later, in Jiangxia City, in the meeting hall of the city lord's palace, Liu Qi received a secret message from Liu Bei asking for help. He immediately summoned all his soldiers.

"Everyone, Uncle Liu was kind to me in the past, but now he is in trouble. I definitely can't sit back and watch, so I sent all the warships to pick up Uncle Liu and escort them to Jiangxia City!"

But a general under Liu Qi stood up with a worried look on his face.

"Young Master, you must not bring Liu Bei into the city. Liu Bei is obviously a scourge to you!"

Liu Qi glared and shouted angrily: "Shut up, stop talking nonsense!"

But the man knelt directly on the ground: "Master, what I said was from the bottom of my heart. Liu Bei is good at winning people's hearts. If he joins Jiangxia, wouldn't Jiangxia City become his?"

"Moreover, Liu Bei has thousands of elite soldiers under his command, Guanzhang has tens of thousands of brave men, and now he has recruited Zhuge Liang's treacherous and cunning man. I'm afraid that when he enters Jiangxia, he will become his guest!"

Liu Qi hesitated for a moment. Yes, can Jiangxia City still have two masters?

But he soon asserted: "Okay, don't mention this matter again. Uncle Liu is kind and righteous, and he will definitely not do such ungrateful things."

"Prepare as I say and set off immediately, no mistakes allowed!"
