Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 428 Cao's Conspiracy
Guandu, Cao Jun camp.

Beside the oil lamp, Cao Cao was holding a letter in his hand. He was speechless for a long time, just staring at the letter with fascination.

Liu Yu, Jiangdong, defeated...

The words on the letter flowed through his heart like running water, making his heart no longer calm.

Winning, Liu Yu actually won, winning so quickly and so simply.So, what will he do next, attack Jingzhou, or lead his army northward, or stabilize Jiangdong?Hehe, with his personality, he would definitely not choose to hold on to Jiangdong.So……

Cao Cao was distracted and thought a lot, more than Yuan Shao edicted the world to fight him to the death.

Suddenly, the guard came in and said, "Report, my lord, Xu You asks for help."

I stayed for two seconds, really, Cao Cao stayed for two seconds, and then I slapped my legs and laughed, even laughing wildly.

"I will not perish this day, so I sent Xu You to vote!"

As he said that, he couldn't wait to run out of the tent without even putting on his shoes.As soon as he came out, he saw Xu You at a glance, and then ran out with a full face of excitement, grabbed Xu You's hands, and said: "Ziyuan, I really want to hurt me, I really want to hurt me. , you and I have already..."

While dragging Xu You into the tent, he talked while spitting, as if he was really excited to see an old friend.

Xu You was not stupid. He knew Cao Cao's intentions, but he was still very excited, and sighed in his heart: "Yuan Benchu, Yuan Benchu, compared with Meng De, your little belly is really too small!"

Back in the tent, Cao Cao was not in a hurry to ask about Yuan Shao's camp, but talked about the past with Xu You while eating.What happened later, just like in history, Xu You cheated Cao Cao, and then told Cao Cao about Yuan Shao's grain and grass.

Cao Cao is worthy of being a hero. Even though he knew some of Yuan Jun's secrets, he could still sit and drink with Xu You. He didn't show a smile until Xu You drank too much and was helped down.

But the smile faded away quickly, and people called Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun You and others.

"My lord, this is an opportunity to destroy Yuan!" Cheng You couldn't wait to say after Cao Cao told the story of Xu You's vote.

Obviously, he already had plans in his mind. In fact, not only him, but Guo Jia and Xun You also had plans in their minds. Even Cao Cao had already figured out a solution.But except for Cheng Yu, they didn't speak. Cao Cao wanted Cheng Yu and the others to bring it up; Xun You's personality dictated that Cao Cao seldom talk without asking him; as for Guo Jia, he was thinking about something unusual.

Cheng Yu didn't care so much, he said what he thought, Cao Cao and Xun You listened, nodded, secretly thinking that it was similar to what he thought.At this time, Cao Cao was about to open his mouth to adopt Cheng Yu's strategy.

However, Guo Jia suddenly stood up, coughed twice, and said: "Mr. Cao, do you want to be the king for a while, or the emperor for a lifetime?"

In the past, Guo Jia didn't dare to say so blatantly, but after Liu Xie's death, he dared to say so blatantly.Of course, you can't say it in front of Xun Yu.

Cao Cao felt strange, but at the same time he was expecting something, and said, "What do you mean by the prince of a moment, and what do you mean by the emperor for a lifetime?"

"In a short time, Cao Gong can defeat Yuan Shao with Zhongde's plan, and then attack Jizhou. However, the southern tiger will not let Cao Gong be proud, it will send troops to invade the country, and even join forces with Yuan Shao. In this way, Cao Gong thought it would be possible Victory?"

After listening to Guo Jia's eloquent words, everyone's eyes were fixed, thinking about this matter secretly, and found that they really dare not say that they will win.The same is true for Cao Cao, who was silent for a long time before saying again: "Why did Fengxiao teach me?"

"The lord secretly attacked Han Sui and Ma Teng, and then drove the people into the pass to preserve their strength and let Yuan and Liu fight against each other."

Guo Jia didn't say a word, but everyone present was stunned.Shocking, this plan can only be described in these four words.But after the shock, everyone thought about it carefully and felt that it seemed to be the case.

However, Cao Cao did not agree.Although he was very talented, he still couldn't decide on such a matter for a while, and he even wrote to Xun Yu to ask Xun Yu's opinion.It's not that he doesn't trust Guo Jia, it's just that such things need to be cautious.

In this way, before Xun Yu replied, he had no choice but to continue to confront Yuan Shao.In this stalemate, they didn't want Yuan Shao to vote in the future, such as Zhang He and Gao Lan.

A few days later, Xun Yu wrote a letter agreeing with Guo Jia's strategy.At this time, Cao Cao finally made up his mind. While sending troops to Chang'an, he was preparing to attack Han Sui and others; while driving the people into the customs, of course they also brought food, grass and money.

Just when Cao Cao was doing something great, Liu Yu finally took action against the Jiangdong clan.That night was definitely a nightmare for the gentry in Jiangdong, how many heads of the gentry, all of them... disappeared overnight!
Liu Yu's thunder method was still very effective, and the Jiangdong gentry did not dare to be rampant the next day.In order to prevent riots, Liu Yu took the opportunity to move a group of gentry to Shouchun.Hehe, Shouchun is his old house, who dares to rebel, what's the use of rebellion?

If this stick goes on, it is natural to give a sweet date.No, Liu Yu immediately asked many to keep their original official positions, but moved half of them to Huainan, saying that they were young officials in Huainan.No one would believe this, but no one would dare to resist if they didn't believe it.

After finishing these things, he let Gan Ning, Tai Shici and a group of former Jiang Dongjiang generals stay.Of course, the most important thing was to keep Xu Shu.With Xu Shu, Liu Yu doesn't have to worry about Jiangdong, nor does he need to worry about the Shanyue issue.After making arrangements, he returned to Huainan by boat.

On the boat, Liu Yu leaned on the railing to look into the distance, and Pang Tong stood beside him.

"Shiyuan, the north will soon be victorious, and it will be time for the north and south to fight to the death." Liu Yu looked northward with a smile on his lips.

Pang Tong also looked to the north, holding the jug, and said, "Who do you think will win, my lord?"

"I think it's Cao Cao. This person is much stronger than Yuan Shao, and there are few people in the world who can fight against him." Liu Yu thought for a moment, then sighed.

Pang Tong wondered who Cao Cao was, who actually made his young master admire him so much, but he knew how proud his young master was.

Soon, the boat returned to Ruxuwu, and Liu Yu led all the soldiers to disembark and return to Lujiang.Back in Lujiang, Liu Yu deliberately asked people to inquire about Zhou Yu's news.For Zhou Yu, he was still a little worried, because Zhou Yu was too scary.If Zhou Yu rebelled, although he could not overthrow his position, it would cause him great trouble, and even make it impossible for him to compete for hegemony.

Fighting for world hegemony has always been on Liu Yu's mind.Now that he is closer to that step, he doesn't want to be destroyed by one person.

To be honest, as soon as Jiangdong was captured, Liu Yu wanted to continue to capture Jingzhou, or lead the Northern Expedition.But he needs to recuperate, and Jingzhou is not easy to capture.As for the north, if he attacks now, Cao Cao will be defeated. How can he deal with Yuan Shao once Cao Cao is defeated?
After all, his background is too shallow, he is not an opponent of Cao Cao, nor is he an opponent of Yuan Shao.
