Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 486
The alliance was indeed unsuccessful.

As soon as Lu Xun came back, he immediately visited Liu Yu and reported to Liu Yu what he had seen and heard from the north.

"Bo Yan, it's been a hard journey." Liu Yu met Lu Xun in the Shouchun Mansion, and immediately pulled him to sit down. He didn't ask how the result was, but just asked how he was.

The war was already at a stalemate, and it was useless for Liu Yu to stay on the front line, and Shouchun needed him to preside over the overall situation, so he led the army back to Shouchun.As for Yingyang, Liu Yu handed it over to Zhang Liao.

Lu Xun sat down with Liu Yu and said with a wry smile: "At first, Cao Cao was not in Yecheng, and I had a good talk with Xun Yu. He seemed to be inclined to form an alliance. But when Cao Cao came back, Xun Yu stopped seeing me. I went to him He dodged a few times."

"So, it's Cao Cao who doesn't want to form an alliance. Could it be that he saw something?" Liu Yu frowned and said doubtfully.

Lu Xun pondered for a while, and said: "That's not necessarily the case. I heard that this is Guo Jia's last plan. It seems that he wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

As soon as Liu Yu heard the word Guo Jia, he immediately became interested, and he didn't care about Cao Cao's non-alignment. Instead, he asked enthusiastically, "Bo Yan, how is Guo Jia? Is there someone who can take his place on Cao Cao's side?" ?”

"Young Master, Guo Fengxiao is truly a genius. There are few people who admire him. I really admire Guo Fengxiao." Lu Xun praised Guo Jia without hesitation, and then he pondered for a moment before continuing, " Speaking of the person who replaced Guo Jia... Cao Cao seems to have such a person. This is also a person I met by accident, but this person makes me feel creepy."

Liu Yu was more interested now, and immediately asked: "Someone actually made Lu Boyan's hair stand on end, haha, tell me who it is, I'm very curious?"

"That man's name is Sima Yi. He's not very famous, but he really made me..." Lu Xun was a little embarrassed, as if he was afraid of that man, and he felt a little aggrieved even speaking.

But Lu Xun didn't know that when he said the word "Sima Yi", Liu Yu couldn't help being taken aback.Although he quickly returned to normal, the waves in his heart were not calm.

Sima Yi, who is that?
That was a person as famous as Zhuge Liang, who exhausted Zhuge Liang to death, preventing Zhuge Liang from attacking the Central Plains for the rest of his life.If he doesn't have a few brushes, can he stop Zhuge Liang?

"Hehe, Sima Yi is here, it's almost the end!" Thinking of Sima Yi, Liu Yu sighed inwardly.Unknowingly, in the past so many years, the princes are almost dead.

Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao...

In this world, the long-term union must be divided, and the long-term division must be united. It is also time to reunify.

Cao Cao, it seems that the final outcome is between you and me!
After thinking about it, Liu Yu suddenly stood up, smiled, walked outside the door, and laughed loudly: "Bo Yan, this is interesting. If Cao Cao agrees to form an alliance, he will be easily calculated by us. What's the point of fighting for the world? ?Ha ha……"

Look up to the sky and go out laughing!
Looking at Liu Yu's back, Lu Xun suddenly burst out laughing, and said with a cracked smile: "Yes, what's the point of being so easy? But, I, Lu Boyan, should also make a move, otherwise the war will be over..."

On the second day, Lu Xun asked for a battle, and Liu Yu sent him to Zhang Liao.On Zhang Liao's side, counselors are really needed.Pang Tong can't do it, and Jia Xu can't do it either. Liu Yu still needs them to plan by his side.It happened that Lu Xun asked for a fight, so Liu Yu simply sent Lu Xun there.

Although Lu Xun was sent to Yingyang's side, in fact, there is no fighting there now.Not only is there no war there, the whole world, except Xishu and Youzhou, is in peace.

Either like Yuan Shang, silently licking his wounds; or like Cao Cao, taking care of post-war affairs; or like Liu Yu, counting his spoils.

The spoils of war are Xuzhou.

Liu Yu's goal in this battle was Xuzhou and Xishu. Xishu was not obtained, and it is still in a stalemate, but Xuzhou actually won.

The reason why he didn't go further and took the opportunity to march into Yuan Shang was not because Liu Yu didn't have the strength, but because Liu Yu would definitely lose both sides if he did so.This is what Liu Yu doesn't want to see, he doesn't want himself and Yuan Shang to lose out, and let Cao Cao reap the benefits of the fisherman.

That's why Liu Yu took every step of the way. He would rather eat Yuan Shang's territory slowly and digest it, rather than let Cao Cao take advantage of it.

In the final analysis, Liu Yu did not regard Yuan Shang as an opponent, he only regarded Cao Cao as an opponent from the beginning to the end.

Digesting Xuzhou is not an easy task.Once the big clans in Xuzhou formed a group, and there was the Chen family at the head, it was not so easy to solve it.Furthermore, during the several wars in Xuzhou, the people suffered unspeakably and needed relief for a long time, and this is also an imminent problem for Liu Yu.

There were many problems in Xuzhou, so Liu Yu left Lu Su to sit in Xuzhou and transferred Xu Shu back to Jiangdong.Lu Su is more suitable than Xu Shu for dealing with trivial matters in Xuzhou.In addition, Xu Shu was transferred back to Jiangdong to defend Jingzhou. After all, Jingzhou and Yuan Shang are allied. If Liu Yu is not vigilant, wouldn't it be suspicious?
Liu Yu felt that Jingzhou's move was excellent, and it could be said that he was behind the game, so he naturally didn't want to expose it.

After slightly adjusting the defenses, Liu Yu rarely had a leisurely time, staying at home all day, doing some "little things".

It turned out that some time ago, Liu Yu saw that his rule was stabilizing, so he created Huainan Academy.This academy invites celebrities from all over the world, even Mr. Shui Jing, Mr. Pound and others.

Those people didn't come here for official positions, but for academics, because Liu Yu's definition of this academy is academics.This academy accommodates hundreds of schools, some are teaching, some are writing books, some are discussing Taoism...

The completion of the academy on that day really shocked and ecstatic the literati from all over the world.And this is Liu Yu's purpose, to win the hearts of scholars all over the world.Of course, his purpose is not just that simple, he also wants to use this to search for talents from all over the world; he wants to use this to cultivate talents for himself;

These days, Liu Yu is very leisurely and tired of other things, so naturally he wants to go to the academy.No, he ran to Pang Tong's house and dragged Pang Tong to the academy with him.

Pang Tong really didn't want to go, firstly, he was lazy at home, it was such a leisurely thing; secondly, when he went to the academy, he would definitely be inspected by the gentlemen, he didn't like it...

However, Liu Yu forced him to go, could he not go?

"Shiyuan, there are good things in this academy." On the way, Liu Yu smiled strangely at Pang Tong with a mysterious face.

Pang Tong didn't believe it, rolled his eyes, took a breath, and muttered in a low voice: "If there is any good thing, except for books, he is a nerd. It's strange to have good things."

Liu Yu heard Pang Tong's muttering, but did not explain, and led Pang Tong to the academy triumphantly.
