Demon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 37: Drive the wolf away!

() "We are all tomb thieves, tomb thieves, tomb thieves of the Eastern Han Dynasty, digging in the east, digging in the west, the treasures are rolling in, rolling in!" Since Lao Cao gave Lu Rui the Captain Mojin, of course Lu Rui We must carry forward the cause of tomb robbery!

Cao Jin has been a caravan captain in Lord Hou's mansion since he joined Lu Rui. He used the name of the caravan all day long to go to various places to rob tombs.However, Lu Rui is better than Cao Qiu's tomb in the Warring States Period!

Why?One is valuable!Second, no one will care!The incident at King Liang's tomb was the reason for the disbandment of Cao Cao's tomb robbery team. Someone must be in charge of robbing the tombs of the Han clan's relatives.In the tombs of the Han Dynasty, their descendants are basically still there, and many of them are powerful!But the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period?It's been a long time, and many descendants have disappeared. The official will only condemn, and will not take the truth!Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, don't care about the frost on others' roofs!

"My lord, it's time to get up, today is the day when Lord Sikong asked you to attend political affairs!"

No, it's so early again?Recently, Lao Cao has begun to train Lu Rui. As long as it does not involve Cao Jun's top secrets, he usually asks Lu Rui to follow him to see how everyone handles political affairs.Dahan's working day is generally 20 days a month, of which there are seven days, Lu Rui is going to attend regularly, and the rest is up to Lao Cao's arrangement!

Got it!Wake up, to study, the weather is so sunny today, so sunny, beautiful scenery everywhere! Nainai, such a good day, Lord Ben Hou wants to stay in the house!Under the service of Ling'er, Lu Rui changed his clothes slowly, unwilling in every possible way, and went to the main hall of Sikong Mansion. Cao Cao and others should be ready to discuss matters!

When Lu Rui arrived at the main hall of the Sikong Mansion, everyone was not yet there, only Xun Yu, Xun You, and Guo Jia came. Lu Rui walked straight to Guo Jia's side and finished. Master and apprentice, we must sit together. Listen to the teachings of the master at any time!

Soon, Cao Cao and others also arrived. After welcoming Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao issued a recruiting order. Many talents have joined the ranks, and they have been dispatched to various places by Cao Cao. Today, several new faces have arrived Sikong Mansion, namely Zaoqi, Maojie, Manchong, Dong Zhao, are four great people!Cao Cao is indeed a strategist like rain, and anyone who is caught casually is a master!

Cao Cao sat on the main seat, looked at the crowd, and said: "Everyone has worked hard today. Our army's strength today depends on you all. Come to my office and have a drink!"

"Thank you, Lord Sikong!" The monarch and his ministers had a full drink!

"Good wine!" Xia Houdun was a drinker, and he went mad after drinking a little.

Cao Cao glared at Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Dun shrank his head, Cao Cao said: "Everyone, our army has pacified Yanzhou, and the farmland has begun to achieve results. Today I decided to go east to Xuzhou again. What do you think?"

Lao Cao is going to attack Xuzhou?Liu Daer?Hey, fuck you!

Xu Chu can't be provoked anymore by Cao Cao's side, there is going to be a war, Xu Chu is excited, be good, Fatty Xu, don't be so excited, either Zhang Fei or Guan Yu can draw with you!

Xiahoudun stood up and said, "My lord, Xiahoudun asks to lead an army of [-] to wipe out Xuzhou!"

Yuan Rang?You lead troops?In the Battle of Puyang ahead, if it wasn't for Zhu Ling, where would your troops still be?Yuan Rang can only be a fierce vanguard, not a handsome man!

Seeing everyone ignoring him, Xiahoudun had no choice but to pick up the drink in front of him and drank it down in one gulp!

When Cao Ren saw it, he cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I believe that there are two tigers in Xuzhou, Lu Bu and Liu Bei, whose strength should not be underestimated. If our army attacks Xuzhou, it may be difficult for the two of them to conquer."

Cao Cao stroked his beard, or Zixiao was resourceful, Cao Cao asked: "How does Zixiao think our army should attack Xuzhou?"

Cao Ren cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Lv Bu was the one who killed Dong Zhuo. Although Xiaopei was defeated, he still has strength. On the other hand, Liu Bei is the new leader of Xuzhou, and the people's hearts are not stable. If our army unites with Lv Bu and divides Xuzhou equally as a bait, Lu Bu will definitely agree, when the time comes, our army will take Xuzhou easily!"

Well, unite with Lu Bu and divide Xuzhou equally?This is great advice!

After listening to Cao Ren's suggestion, Xun Yu stood up and said, "My lord, I have two strategies to let my lord easily take the lands of Xu, Yu, and Yang!"

"Oh, Wen Ruo, come quickly?" Cao Ren only took Xuzhou, how can Xun Yu conquer the three places?Wen Ruo is worthy of my resourcefulness!

Xun Yu arched his hands and said, "My lord, my subordinates will offer the first strategy first, and the two tigers will compete for food! My lord can order Liu Bei from Xuzhou to attack Yuan Shu in Huainan by imperial edict. If two tigers fight, one of them will be injured."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Wen Ruo, will Liu Xuande listen to the court's edict?" Indeed, Liu Xie's court is now a small court in the eyes of the princes from all walks of life, and it cannot represent the big man at all. Liu Xie returned to Xudu to take charge, which shows how weak Liu Xie's court is!

Xun Yu smiled and said, "My lord, Liu Xuande was Tao Qianqian who let Xuzhou go, did he ever have a correct name?"

Hehe, Xun Yu is indeed a strategist. Many people need to rectify his name. In ancient times, teachers were famous. Tao Qian was the Xuzhou shepherd of the big man, but you gave it to Liu Bei?Has it been approved by the court?To put it bluntly, Liu Bei is now an unknown Xuzhou shepherd, Tao Qian, at least he was given an official position by Grand Master Dong, and Liu Bei has nothing!

When Cao Cao heard this, he clapped his palms and smiled and said, "Wen Ruo is really resourceful. After the two tigers compete for food, what is Wen Ruo's second plan?"

Xun Yu arched his hands and said, "My lord, the second strategy of my subordinates is to drive away wolves and tigers!"

"How to drive away wolves and tigers?"

"My lord, Liu Bei didn't rectify his name. The imperial edict was sent from Xudu, and there was time for him to arrive in Xuzhou. However, Lu Bu, Marquis Wen, General Fenwu, and Fake Festival Yue have the duty to send troops to attack the Quartet. To drive away Lu Bu's wolves, It is wonderful to swallow Liu Bei's tiger!"

no?Xun Yu also has moments of pride?It seems that Xun Yu appreciates his strategy very much!

When Cao Cao heard it, it was wonderful, wonderful, Wen Ruo really won my heart!Cao Cao took the case and said: "According to Wen Ruozhi's plan, quickly send people to Xuzhou to discuss this matter with Liu Bei!"

"Wen Ruo really has a clever plan!"

"Thank you my lord!"

Cao Cao and Xun Yu cherish each other, while Lu Rui sits next to Guo Jia and eats fresh fruits. These fruits are good, and I will give them a bell to taste later!

"Rui'er, I wonder what Rui'er thinks about dealing with Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and Yuan Shu just now?" Seeing Lu Rui's appearance, Lao Cao was upset and wanted to test Lu Rui!

no?Eating fruit is also a trick?Isn't it a shot at the head?I didn't get ahead, I just ate fresh fruit silently!

"Rui'er? I heard that Rui'er has been studying military books hard recently, what does Rui'er think? Just talk about it, let's listen to the words of children!"

Nainai, look at Lao Cao's posture, if I don't say a little bit today, Lao Cao will definitely copy the books by himself, my handwriting is very good, I don't need to practice!

but?what to do?Xun Yu's strategy has already been presented, what good strategy can he have?Lu Rui scratched his head, hey, yes, Liu Daer?I give you a big gift!

Lu Rui cupped his hands and said, "Father Zhong, Teacher Wen Ruo's strategy is far-reaching, Rui'er is not up to it, Rui'er can only offer a icing on the cake to Father Zhong!"

"What's Rui'er's plan? Come quickly?"

"Liu Bei needs to rectify his name and send troops to attack Yuan Shu. This plan is feasible, but how many soldiers will Liu Bei send? Is he perfunctory to our army? Father Zhong, please think twice about this matter!"

When Cao Cao heard it, it was interesting. If Liu Bei didn't mobilize the main force, would Lu Bu capture Xuzhou?There may be difficulties, and Xuzhou also has many resourceful people.

"Rui'er, what's the plan?"

"Father Zhong, we just need to increase the bait so that Liu Bei will step on it even though he knows it's a trick!"

"How?"

"Father Zhong? Liu Bei's surname is Liu, he comes from Hebei, and His Majesty the Great Han is also surnamed Liu. Is there any relationship between the two? Using the clan of the Han family as bait, Liu Bei will definitely raise an army to attack Yuan Shu!"

"Hahahaha! Rui'er is really smart. In this way, Liu Bei's vitality will be seriously injured. If Lu Bu captures Xuzhou, I, Cao Mengde, can follow behind and march! Xuzhou is easy to break!"

"What do you think?"

"Wen Ruo seconded the proposal!"

"Gongda seconded the proposal!"

Then the rest of the people also agreed with Lu Rui's strategy, Cao Cao was very happy, Lu Rui finally grew up, Cao Cao invited Wen and Wu to the Sikong Mansion, and then let everyone go.

"It's another sunny day, but I want to study!" Today is Lu Rui's study day again, so I don't need to call the bell, I will take the initiative today, hehe, I will also be a little hardworking for a day!

"Master? Why are you up?"

"Ling'er, I know I have to study today, so I got up, how is it? Not bad!"

"But, but? Young Master, the housekeeper just came to inform that Lord Sikong has something urgent to go out today, so today's discussion has been cancelled!"

Speechless for 15 seconds!

"Cancelled?" No, it's the first time I wake up so diligently early, and Lao Cao actually has something urgent to do?

"Sir?"

"I'm still going to bed!" Lu Rui quickly took off his coat and went to bed!

Ling'er blushed, looking at everything about Lu Rui, young master, Ling'er is still by her side!

"Huh!!!" No?Young master fell asleep?Ling'er walked over to look at Lu Rui, she seemed to be really asleep, Ling'er covered Lu Rui with a quilt, and left. (Since Lu Rui returned to the Three Kingdoms, he seems to be able to control his sleep, snoring as soon as he sleeps!)

Just as Lu Rui fell asleep, Cao Cao's envoy had arrived at Liu Bei's Xiapi, and Liu Bei greeted Cao Cao's envoy with the ceremony of an imperial envoy.

Liu Bei sat on the main seat, looked at the envoy and asked, "I don't know if the envoy came from Xudu, what is the matter?"

The envoy arched his hands and said: "Duke Xuande, according to His Majesty's will, canonize him as Xuzhou Shepherd, please send troops to Huainan to fight against the traitor Yuan Shu!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he was stunned. Canonize Xuzhou Mu?To attack Yuan Shu in exchange for the canonization of Xuzhou Mu?This must be Cao Cao's plan, no matter what, ask for it first!Liu Bei arched his hands and said, "Liu Bei thank you Your Majesty, but what is Your Majesty's imperial decree?"

The envoy cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Xuande, I am only the deputy envoy of the imperial court. Lord Sikong is going to send Lord Xun Yu as an envoy to come to Xuzhou to formally enshrine Lord Xuande!"

Sure enough, there will be no pie in the sky, conditional!Liu Bei said: "So that's the case, but Yuan Shu has been stationed in Huainan for a long time and has a strong foundation. If he wants to send troops, he may need more time to prepare!"

The envoy arched his hands and said: "Of course, Lord Xuande, the Xuzhou military is still presided over by Lord Xuande. I am only responsible for conveying the meaning of Lord Xun. Everything will have to wait for Lord Xun to arrive in Xuzhou before he can preside over the canonization!"

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Since that's the case, please return to Xudu first, and Xuande will make arrangements for it!"

The envoy said: "I would like to follow the order of Duke Xuande! I have another matter to ask Duke Xuande."

"Master Deputy Ambassador, please speak!"

"My lord Xun Yu heard in Xudu that Duke Xuande is a member of the imperial family. Is there such a thing?"

Liu Bei was stunned, and everyone was also stunned?Soon Liu Bei understood the meaning of it, Liu Bei said sadly: "Xuande is the successor of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, but the ancestral plate was lost, and his name cannot be corrected!"

"I understand, I will return to Xudu immediately and report to Lord Xun!"

After the envoy left, Liu Bei looked at the crowd and asked, "Zizhong, Gongyou, what do you two think?"

Mi Zhu cupped his hands and said: "My lord, this is Cao Cao's plan, but the name of Xuzhou Mu and the royal clan is very beneficial to our army!"

Sun Qian also agreed: "My lord, not only that, but my lord's new rule of Xuzhou, if there is a big battle to win, it can strengthen the morale of the army!"

"Does our army have a chance of winning against Yuan Shu?"

"My lord, you can unite with Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu holds heavy troops in Huainan and disturbs Yuzhou in the north. Cao Cao will also be restless!" Yuzhou is now the junction of Huainan and Yanzhou. From time to time, troops will be sent to raid the states and counties near Yanzhou.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei nodded and said, "Okay, Gongyou, you will go to Xudu as our army's envoy, and play by ear!"

"No!" Sun Qian retreated, preparing to go to Xudu.

At night, in Xiaopei's prefect's mansion, Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong under the night light and asked, "Gongtai, Cao Mengde wants us to attack Xuzhou, what does Gongtai think?"

"My lord, knowing that it's a trick, our army wants to capture Xuzhou!"

"Public platform?"

"This is Cao Cao's plan to drive away wolves and tigers, but Liu Bei has just entered Xuzhou, and the army's morale is unstable. If our army captures Xuzhou, we still have the strength to compete with Cao Cao. Please be clear, my lord!"

Lu Bu thought about it for a while, and said with a firm look in his eyes, "Just follow the plan!"

Xun Yu sent people to thread needles in Xuzhou, while Cao Cao led his soldiers to patrol Chen County to lure Yuan Shu into the trap!

Chen County, the county seat on the border between Yanzhou and Yuzhou, became a stronghold for Yuan Shu to harass Yanzhou. Yuan Shu sent large troops to attack here and harass Yanzhou from time to time.

In the early morning, Cao Cao took a dozen soldiers out of the city as usual to inspect the terrain.When Cao Cao first arrived in Chen County, he was very excited. With these soldiers, he patrolled thirty miles outside the city.

"Catch Cao Mengde alive! A big reward of five hundred gold!" Cao Cao, who was urging sadly, was discovered by Yuan Shu's army staying here.

When Cao Cao heard this, he was taken aback, and looked around. He was in the middle of the dense forest, and there were shouts of killing all around, and he was surrounded!The people next to them also understood the current situation!

Cao Cao's lieutenant general took off his battle robe, knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, please change into the clothes of the last general. The last general will wear the clothes of the lord to distract the enemy!"

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Yes?"

"The lord is in the safety of the whole army, how can he lightly die? The general is willing to share the lord's worries!"

Cao Cao is also a courageous person, nodded and said: "Okay, general, please stand up. If anything happens to the general, I, Cao Mengde, will take care of the family!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Soon the two changed their clothes, and Cao Cao and the lieutenant galloped in opposite directions!

"Stop? Who are you?"

"General, I am Cao Cao's personal soldier. Cao Cao left me and went east. General, please let me go!"

When Yuan Shu's general saw Cao Cao, who looked unattractive, he snorted and said, "Okay, I'll let you go today, let's go after Cao Cao!" After finishing speaking, the group headed east.Alas, poor wife Cao, you are always the one who is ignored!Cao Cao escaped unharmed because of this, but his lieutenant was killed by Yuan Shu's army.

"My lord, Lord Sikong has returned home, let everyone go to the hall!"

Lao Cao is back?Want to go to the hall again?What's the matter?Lu Rui didn't think much, changed his clothes, and went to the hall.

Soon, Lu Rui arrived at the hall, and everyone from the Cao family rushed over.

Everyone gathered in the hall, Cao Cao came out from the side hall, holding a child in his hand, judging by age, less than five years old?No, when did Lao Cao have an illegitimate child? There is no record in history!

Cao Cao looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, a few days ago, I went to Chen County for inspection and encountered Yuan Shu's army. Fortunately, General Qin Shao led the enemy away, so I was saved from being slaughtered!"

"This Sikong has decided to accept Qin Zhen as the son of this Sikong, change his surname to Cao, and name him Cao Zhen. The members of the Cao clan should treat this son as a relative!

"Follow the orders of Lord Sikong (lord)!"

Hey, looking at Cao Zhen's appearance, he was also bullied when he was a child, and he was bullied by another person!Thinking of this, Lu Rui licked his mouth! <The prefect's mansion was furious, originally thought that Cao Cao was killed, but unfortunately this leader is a nobody!

Yuan Shu was furious, and everyone dared not look at Yuan Shu squarely. Yuan Shu looked at the soldiers who were struggling and asked, "What else is there?"

With trembling hands, Xiaobing handed in a piece of information and said, "My lord, this is the secret report that our army intercepted Cao Jun!"

Yuan Shu took a look at the secret report, immediately tore it into pieces, and said angrily: "Liu Xuande! You are too deceitful!" It turned out that this was the information that Cao Jun deliberately left for Yuan Shu's army. Cao Cao and Liu Bei joined forces to attack Yuan Shu.

Forget about Cao Cao, Liu Bei's straw sandal weaver is also coming to beat him? New to Xuzhou?Alright, I'll take the opportunity to capture Xuzhou!Yuan Shu decided to send troops to Xuzhou to attack Liu Bei!The plan to drive away wolves and tigers has just come true!
