Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 483 Kong Mingji, Meng Demou
Just when Liu Yu, Pang Tong, and Zhuge Liang were secretly conspiring, Yuan Shang also did what Liu Yu expected-to form an alliance with Gongsun Du to resist Cao Cao together.

In fact, Yuan Shang, who lost Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou, still has the strength to fight Cao Cao.The difficulty is that Liu Yu is restrained in the south, so he dare not fight Cao Cao to the death.It was for this reason that he decided to form an alliance with Gongsundu.

As for why Gongsundu agreed to form an alliance with Yuan Shang, it was also because he was worried about Cao Cao's attack.How can he be an ordinary person who can be a prince, how can he not guess something suspicious?

Cao Cao's situation is very passive, and it can even be said to be a little critical.Not only because of the alliance between Gongsun Du and Yuan Shang, but also because of the alien race in the north.Those foreign races were already coveting the Central Plains, and seeing the chaos in the Central Plains, coupled with Gongsun Du's invitation, they naturally intended to go south.

No, it doesn't mean that, but it will inevitably go south.

Cao Cao borders those foreign races, whether it is Jizhou, Bingzhou, or Xiliang... It can be said that the threat to him from foreign races is greater than Yuan Shang plus Gongsun Du.

And this threat, when Yuan Shang and Gongsundu marched together, and under the eyes of the alien wolves in the north, it suddenly appeared.In this situation, even Cao Cao was a little nervous, especially after Kebi was able to march into the remote border and burned, killed and looted.

However, Cao Cao was more angry.

At that time, he immediately summoned his generals and wanted to send troops outside the pass to fight Ke Bineng.When Cao Cao was furious, no one dared to say a word, even though many people thought it was inappropriate to do so, they didn't dare to say more.And people like Xun Yu and others, although they spoke, could not change Cao Cao's decision.

Cao Cao is also a stubborn person.Like the battle of Xuzhou, no matter how much everyone persuaded him, he couldn't shake him.

That time, Cao Cao was wrong, but he couldn't avoid it; this time, Cao Cao was wrong, and he almost couldn't avoid it.When a person does a big thing, a small mistake is fatal.

Thanks to Guo Jia, Cao Cao finally avoided this mistake.At that time, the night before Cao Cao's personal expedition, Guo Jia paid a sick visit, and after a heart-wrenching persuasion, Cao Cao finally calmed down, and sincerely accepted Guo Jia's suggestion.

Even though he was sick, Guo Jia still couldn't leave his body with alcohol, and he also planned to stay the same.That night, he made a detailed plan for Cao Cao.The next day, Cao Cao acted according to the plan and continued to lead the army northward.

Sure enough, as Guo Jia expected, Yuan Shang and Gongsun Du rushed over immediately after the news of Cao Cao's Northern Expedition was released.However, how did they know that this was just Guo Jia's trick.

How could Guo Jia's strategy be so simple, his strategy is one ring within one ring.

The news of Cao Cao's Northern Expedition not only caused Yuan Shang and Gongsun Du to rush to kill, but also made Ke Bi Neng somewhat restrained.However, Ke Bineng didn't know that the Cao army killed was just an empty shell, and the real main force of Cao army never came.

It's a good one to deceive the world and confuse everyone in the world, but what is Cao Cao's intention in doing this?

The situation in the north was turbulent, especially when Cao Cao's pack of wolves looked around, making Liu Yu and others clap their hands and laugh.Many people even thought that Cao Cao was going to be doomed, but Liu Yu didn't think so.Liu Yu felt that Cao Cao would suffer a bit, but he would never lose, let alone die.

Seeing the flames of war in the north, Liu Yu couldn't help feeling anxious, and hurriedly started to implement his plan.

First of all, play a scene, that is, talk to Zhuge Liang and break up with Liu Qi.

Of course, Liu Yu still pretended to be generous and let Zhuge Liang go back to Jingzhou.In fact, this is also a game.

Zhuge Liang returned to Jingzhou and reported the truth to Liu Qi, which made Liu Qi furious and threatened to capture Liu Yu alive.It turned out that Zhuge Liang said that Liu Yu talked about Liu Qi with a look of disdain, and that Liu Yu threatened to enter Jingzhou and capture Liu Qi alive.

Liu Yu cooperated very well, and actually made a move, ordering Jiangdong soldiers to go to Jiangxia, and at the same time, Huainan soldiers also tended to move westward.

The Jingzhou People's Congress was terrified, and Liu Yu's reputation was so great that all the big clans in Jingzhou rioted.Not only that, Liu Ye took away a lot of soldiers and horses, so Liu Qi was also worried, for fear that Liu Yuzhen's army would overwhelm the border.

Under such circumstances, Zhuge Liang finally came up with a plan in court: "Young Master, for now, the only way to stop Liu Yu's troops is to form an alliance with Yuan Shang, otherwise Jingzhou will be in danger."

Liu Qi was indecisive or indecisive, and Zhuge Liang was recommended by Liu Ye, so he naturally obeyed Zhuge Liang's words now.Of course, this is also because Zhuge Liang's strategy is good, otherwise Kuai Yue and others would still have some influence if they spoke.

Now that he decided to form an alliance with Yuan Shang, Liu Qi of course sent someone to contact Yuan Shang immediately.This time, Zhuge Liang didn't go in person. He wanted to preside over the overall situation in Jingzhou, so naturally he couldn't go.In the end, it was Kuai Yue who went to Xudu.

Obviously, this is Zhuge Liang's handwriting.He wants to drive Kuai Yue away, clean up Jingzhou, and prepare for Liu Yu's future leadership.

When Yuan Shang heard that Liu Qi had sent someone, he was overjoyed immediately, and his attitude was completely different from the way he had received Zhang Song.Both parties are interested, and naturally hit it off, but there is no real meaning.That's right, after all, they have just made contact, and it is impossible for the two sides to make substantial progress immediately.Fortunately, the relationship is confirmed and the news is released, which can always deter Liu Yu.

In addition, they also sent troops to approach Liu Yu at the same time, which naturally made Liu Yu be cautious and dare not act rashly.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that this was all under Liu Yu's control.

Just as Liu Yu's plan was in full swing, Cao Cao in the north also began to close the net.Can this net wipe out the enemy in one go?

The border was secluded, and Kebi could not enter, so he reined in his horse and waited for Cao Cao's arrival.To be precise, he waited for Gongsun Du and Yuan Shang to attack Cao Cao, and Cao Cao had to divide his troops to rescue.

This is Cao Cao's vitality. Ke Bineng, Gongsun Du, and Yuan Shang are not in the same mind, and they all hold such an idea, so Cao Cao's strategy can only be implemented and successful.

Ke Bi Neng hesitated to move forward, but Gongsun Du and Yuan Shang marched frantically, as if they were afraid that the other party would get ahead of them and be taken advantage of by the other party.This is exactly what Cao Cao wanted to see, and he quickly called out guards from various counties to stop Gongsundu.

These county guards are not really all county guards, but the leaders are generals, so it is okay to block Gongsundu for a while.And this period of time is enough, enough for Cao Cao to defeat Yuan Shang!

Gongsundu was blocked, but Yuan Shang was like a broken bamboo, and he was unstoppable all the way to Yecheng.That kind of momentum, that kind of energy, really makes people have an illusion, that is, the feeling that "the lion is invincible".

In this way, people all over the world, including many civil and military personnel of Cao Cao, felt that Cao Cao was finished.But Liu Yu felt something was wrong, even if Pang Tong said that Cao Cao might not be able to keep Jizhou, Liu Yu still felt something was wrong.
