Chapter 51: Overthrow Jiangdong without a single blow?
Sima De suddenly regretted it.

If I had known this, I should have followed the example of that old Jia Tou and said nothing!

Feeling helpless, he still said bravely:

"Ming Gong, please forgive me for speaking frankly!"

"Now that Jingzhou is undecided, the top priority is to defeat Liu Bei first."

"De thought it would be easy to capture Jingzhou, but it would be difficult to capture Liu Bei alive!"

When Boss Cao heard this, he nodded solemnly and said:

"What Renda said makes sense!"

"That Liu Da'er is a mat weaver and shoe seller. He has never been good at anything!"

"But his ability to run away when he sees an opportunity is one of the best in the world!"

"I think back then, Tao Qian, Yuan Shao and others had perished one after another."

"Only this big-eared thief escapes every time and lives alone in the world!"

"I wanted to trap him before the emperor, but I didn't expect him to escape!"

As he spoke, Boss Cao recalled the day when Qingmei cooked wine and discussed heroes.

At that time, he wanted to take Liu Bei down after drinking!
Unexpectedly, Liu Bei's city was so deep that he pretended to be a coward.

As a result, Cao Cao made a mistake and missed the opportunity!

When Liu Bei escaped from Xudu, his backhand was to use the belt edict.

He almost caused a fire in someone's backyard!
Now that I think about it, it’s really hateful!
Boss Cao was so angry that he also said with itchy teeth:

"If Liu Bei is captured alive this time, he must be brought back to Xudu!"

"Hang his body on top of the city gate for three days to serve as a warning to others!"

Everyone was talking about it and whispering to each other after hearing the words.

Dong Zhao was the first to say at this time:

"Prime Minister, with tigers and leopards as the vanguard, it will not be difficult to defeat Liu Bei's army!"

"But if you want to capture Liu Bei alive, you need to start with Jing Xiang."

"As long as Xiangyang cooperates with us in attacking Liu Bei, everything will be safe!"

"Under attack from two sides, if he is attacked from both sides, he will have no way out!"

When Xun You heard this, he frowned and said, "Gongren does have a point."

"However, Jingzhou Liu Biao had a very good relationship with Liu Biao during his lifetime."

"If Liu Biao hadn't taken him in, how could Liu Bei have survived?"

"What's more, Liu Bei now worships Zhuge Liang as his military advisor."

"Then Zhuge Liang married a daughter of the Huang family in Jingzhou, and she has an old relationship with the Jingzhou nobles."

"I'm afraid it won't be easy to get the Jingzhou nobles to cooperate with our army!"

Sima De smiled at this time and said:
"Mr. Gongda doesn't know something!"

"Long before Liu Biao's death, the affairs of Jingzhou were controlled by the Cai family and the Kuai family."

"Now that Liu Biao has been lost, Liu Cong has ascended the throne."

"The Cai family is the only one in Xiangyang!"

"Then Cai Xun, Cai Mao's younger brother, died at the hands of Liu Bei."

"Now that Liu Bei has spread the plague to Jingzhou, what relationship can there be between the two sides?"

Sima De's words hit the mark, causing everyone to fall into deep thought.

If it is true as he said.

It is indeed impossible for the Jingzhou nobles to secretly help Liu Bei.

And Sima De knew this matter best.

Cai Xun was killed at that time by his design, Sima De.

Although he himself is not under Liu Bei's account now.

Of course Cai Mao wants to blame Liu Bei for this!

Moreover, Liu Bei was accused of spreading the plague and killing Liu Qi.

It's impossible for people like Cai Mao not to use it.

In this way, which other noble family in Jingzhou would dare to help Liu Bei?

After hearing this, Boss Cao also smiled and said:

"Okay, okay! So good!"

"Since the Jingxiang nobles now hate Liu Bei to the core!"

"Even if Zhuge Villager is here, what can we do?"

"No wonder you, Cai Mao, came to surrender. God is really helping me!"

"Now that Liu Biao is dead, the gentry is in charge of Xiangyang."

"Liu Bei is helpless, how can he have a future?" "When our army is fully encircled, the Jingzhou nobles will definitely stand by and watch."

"You can even be used by me to send troops to cooperate with our army to contain Liu Bei!"

"I can add one more note, there is no way to discipline Liu Bei in heaven and no way to earth!"

After hearing this, Xun You stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled:

"Based on my humble position, I guess it's the Prime Minister's intention."

"But in the name of the emperor, you want to recruit the nobles from the nine counties of Jingzhou?"

When Boss Cao heard this, he burst into laughter and said:

"Gongda is indeed my confidant!"

Cheng Yu also quickly echoed: "The Prime Minister is wise!"

"Then Liu Bei has always used the name of imperial uncle to confuse people's hearts and deceive the world and steal his reputation!"

"This time, the Prime Minister ordered the Jingzhou nobles to surrender to the imperial court in the name of the Emperor."

"The nobles in Jingzhou will definitely turn against you and surrender with courtesy!"

Boss Cao also smiled and nodded when he heard this, and immediately said:
"Immediately issue an edict in the name of the Emperor and spread it to all the nine counties in Jingzhou."

"Those who submit to the imperial court will be promoted to high rank, rich and glorious!"

"If you help the traitor Liu Bei, fight against the heavenly soldiers!"

"Then the nine clans will be punished by confiscating their family property, and they will be severely punished without credit!"

At this time, Cheng Yu also remembered something and glanced at Simade.

Then he said to Boss Cao:

"Prime Minister! I just need Sima Renda to make a plan before the account is recorded!"

"Now I can put the icing on the cake and take advantage of the opportunity to conquer the six counties of Jiangdong in the future!"

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Cao Cao looked at Sima De intentionally or unintentionally.

Everyone was simply stunned!
I was wondering, why did these two people pee together again?

But he saw Sima De frowning and sitting upright without saying a word.

Cao Cao said to Cheng Yu again:

"If Zhongde has a clever idea, why not come quickly?"

Cheng Yu couldn't wait to say after hearing this:

"Prime Minister! This plan requires pre-emptive preparations!"

"Now the plague has spread to both sides of the Yangtze River."

"After our army captures Xiangyang, we must immediately order a search for medicinal materials from all over Jingxiang."

"And they controlled the main distribution channel of medicinal materials in Jingzhou and took the opportunity to raise the price of medicines."

"When the plague spreads, the people of Jiangdong will have no cure!"

"At that time, Sun Quan will be helpless, and the six counties under him will inevitably be in chaos!"

"Our army will release fake medicine again and enter Jiangdong to sell fake medicine to confuse Sun Quan."

"As a result, Jiangdong will waste people and money!"

"The best time to treat the plague has been delayed again!"

"They will collapse before my army arrives!"

As soon as Cheng Yu said these words, silence fell into the tent.

Everyone gasped.

His eyes widened and he looked at Cheng Yu in disbelief!
They never expected that Cheng Yu, an old poisoner, could actually come up with such a damaging move? !
This is comparable to Guan Zhong's "Qi Wan and Lu Jin" plan during the Spring and Autumn Period!
I think back then, Guan Zhong of Qi State raised the price of Lu silk.

This caused the State of Lu to rush to convert rice into mulberry and fall into a food shortage.

There was a famine in the State of Lu that year, and then the country was starved to death!

The Qi State defeated the Lu State without any bloodshed.

Now Cheng Yu's move is even more ruthless!
If you wait for Jiangdong Sun Quan to find out.

I worked so hard to buy medicinal materials at a high price, but they turned out to be a bunch of fake medicines?
Under his rule, the plague was rampant, and the people in Jiangdong were filled with resentment!
At that time, how will Sun Quan face this situation?
As long as everyone thinks of that scene, they can't help but feel terrified!

Boss Cao himself even twitched his brows at this time!
When I thought about it carefully, I was very surprised!

He immediately praised him and said:
"Zhongde's plan is to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron. It can't be said to be innocuous!"

"If this plan comes out, wait until the plague spreads to Jiangdong."

"Isn't there going to be chaos under Sun Quan's rule?!"

"By then, Jiangdong's navy will have no combat power!"

"Our army can enter Jiangdong without any effort!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Fortunately, Zhongde is my adviser!"

"Otherwise, I will have trouble sleeping and eating!"
