Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 264: False the imperial edict and attack Cao Cao
  "Is there really no chance of winning?"

Seeing Liu Bei's disappointed eyes, Xu Shu softened his heart. No matter what, this was the lord he had chosen.

Didn't I choose him because I was unwilling to surrender to the national traitors?
  When things come to an end, there is nothing to hesitate about.

The path you choose, no matter how difficult it is, can only lead you to the end.

"My lord, there is no need to worry too much. If the world wants to be stable, you and Cao Cao will have to fight sooner or later. The time is just a little advanced now."

"Please tell me Yuanzhi how to act."

"My Lord, you can go to the Prefectural Mufu at night and ask Liu Jingzhou to raise troops to help."

Liu Bei frowned and said, "Brother Jingsheng's eldest son Liu Qi is currently imprisoned in Xuchang. How dare he raise an army so easily?"

Xu Shu shook his head: "It is precisely because Liu Biao's eldest son is in Xuchang that my lord is more confident at this moment. Please pay attention to your request. When calling for troops, raise your voice deliberately to let the ears and eyes on the side listen, and it will surely succeed."

Liu Biao may feel sorry for his son, but there are many people in Jingzhou who want Liu Qi to die.

Like Cai?

Among the three powerful families in Jingxiang, Huang and Cai were both in charge of military affairs.

What they support is the second young master Liu Cong. At this moment, they are eager to use Cao Cao's hand to stop Liu Qi.

With two families forcing him, even if Liu Biao didn't want to go to war, he might not be able to do it.

"In addition, I also ask my lord to give me a handwritten letter, and I will go to Yangzhou to persuade Liu Yao to raise an army."

"Is this possible?"

Xu Shu nodded: "It's feasible."

Liu Bei grabbed Xu Shu and said, "Yangzhou is not as stable as Jingzhou. I ordered my uncle to accompany the military advisor."

Xu Shu nodded, never rejecting Liu Bei's kindness.

"There is one more thing that I need to explain to my lord. After Liu Biao raises his army, my lord should immediately return to Huainan and send the imperial edict to Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Ma Teng and Han Sui of Xiliang, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, Yizhou... Just take Yizhou. Since the concubine has not returned after Yuzhang, my lord, please be sure to go north and capture Runan. Remember, remember!"

Hit the snake seven inches, and now you are at odds with Cao Cao. Since there is no room for maneuver, you can only give it a try.

As long as Runan is in trouble, even Cao Cao will have trouble sleeping and eating.

Liu Bei nodded seriously: "Don't worry, military advisor, I will keep this in mind."

Say it.

The two moved separately.

When life and death are at stake, time is precious and you dare not waste any of it.

…………

Xia Pizhou Mufu.

Cao Cao tapped the table rhythmically.

From Xuchang to Xiapi, the messenger can arrive in two days. From Xuchang to Jinyang, it takes six days.

But as a result, Liu Bei's edict to attack the bandits was spread all over the world. Cao Cao had just received the battle report from Xuchang and had just figured out the reason behind Yuzhang.

Cao Cao already understood what Xun Yu meant.

The reason why the battle report was sent late was to prevent him from intervening in the Yuzhang war and to attack Xu with all his strength.

Since Cao Cao's successive campaigns, the number of people eating horses and chewing is simply astronomical, and some of the wealth accumulated in his early years has been basically wiped out.

The prosperity of Xuzhou is the most important thing that supports the cultivation and prosperity of the five states, and there is no room for it to be lost.

The situation in Xuzhou is now very good again. If we rush into Yuzhang rashly, we may end up losing a lot. From beginning to end, Cao Cao always believed that Liu Bei was an insignificant man.

It's nothing more than being killed rashly for unknown reasons in the name of some benevolence.

Cao Cao paid the most attention to Liu Bei because of his two sworn brothers who were enemies of thousands of people.

When he was in Xuchang, even if Jia Xu found evidence that Liu Xie and Liu Bei were secretly communicating about music, Cao Cao never thought of taking action against him.

But I didn't expect that this person would use his own strength to occupy Huainan, and then he would be able to raise the banner and rebel with his back foot.

Such broad-mindedness and courage actually impressed Cao Cao.

This was also the first time that Cao Cao looked squarely at Liu Bei and placed him among his enemies.

"Prime Minister?"

Cheng Yu's call brought Cao Cao back from his thoughts: "What's the matter with Zhongde?"

"Prime Minister, there is no need to worry about the war in Yuzhang. With the champions behind us, the war will be safe. It is only right to capture Xuzhou as soon as possible."

"Hahaha, Zhongde thought I was worried about the war in Yuzhang? You really misunderstood me, Cao Cao. Not to mention that Ziqian was behind to hold the battle, but even with Zixiao and Zihe, Yuzhang would not There may be big changes.”

Cheng Yu said in confusion: "Then Prime Minister..."

"Zhongde, please think about it. Who is the happiest when Liu Bei issues an edict against thieves?"

Cheng Yu frowned and thought, and then came to the conclusion: "The happiest person is Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu ​​of Hebei. If Liu Bei hadn't raised his army, this person would be like a withered bone in a grave."

"Wrong." Cao Cao waved his long sleeves and said domineeringly: "The happiest thing is me, Cao Cao!"

"Lord, why is this?"

Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu and smiled without saying a word.

This is the difference between being smart in big things and being smart in small things.

As one of the masterminds under Cao Cao, Cheng Yu rarely mentioned strategy and military strategies, and even went to war without a word of agreement. But when it comes to understanding people's hearts, he is not as good as Zhang Wu.

If Zhang Wu were here, he would definitely tell Cao Cao a new term - low emotional intelligence.

There is no concept of emotional intelligence in this era.

Whether a person is smart depends on his IQ, but there are many people with high IQ and low EQ. The most famous one is Tian Feng under Yuan Shao's account.

At present, Liu Bei issued an edict against the traitors, calling on all the princes in the world to attack Cao Cao.

As long as he wins the Battle of Yuzhang, Cao Cao's status will instantly surpass that of Dong Zhuo, who was at his peak two years ago.

From another perspective, as long as Cao Cao can win, he can be promoted to the king in an honest and fair manner. Who in the world will not accept it?
  Of course he should be happy!
  "Okay, let's not mention this. I heard that Chen Deng has some talent in Xiapi City. Zhongde recruited him for me to be the commander of the march."

"My lord, the war is about to break out at this time. The Chen family is best at waiting and watching. I'm afraid they won't apply for the conscription." Cheng Yu really couldn't understand this time. Why did Cao Cao choose this choice if he didn't conscript earlier and later? Dangkou.

The murderous intent flashed in Cao Cao's eyes: "Then it depends on whether Chen and his son are smart enough."

The aristocratic family is a cancer.

Cao Cao, a generation of heroes, naturally did not allow any voice other than his own to be heard under his rule.

Among the big families in Xuzhou, the Mi family surrendered, the Cao family surrendered, and only the Chen family remained.

If the Chen family and his son were really smart, they would just borrow the donkey from the slope. If they were to play some little trick of watching the fire from the other side at this time, they would refuse to conquer the land. When the war in Yuzhang is over, Cao Cao doesn't mind using this excuse to send them back to the west.

To put it bluntly, he just wanted to find an excuse to get rid of the ignorant Chen.

But this was a trivial matter after all, so Cheng Yu didn't think much about it, cupped his fists and said, "No."
