Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 519

Time slips away in war, as fragile as the lives of soldiers.Before you know it, it's winter.

This year's winter was extremely cold, but Liu Yu's heart was unexpectedly hot.Not because of his own affairs, but because of Cao Cao's affairs.

This year, he fought Yuan Shang, and neither side got any benefits.Naturally, he couldn't be happy about this, and even worried that Cao Cao would benefit from it.

But when winter came, he got good news.This good news swept away his depression and made him laugh out loud.

The news came from the north, and it was bad news for Cao Cao.Whenever there is bad news about Cao Cao, Liu Yu thinks it is good news, so he is very happy.

No, as soon as he received the news, he burst into laughter, which made his eldest son stunned.

"This is the biggest surprise this year. Come on, son, let's have a drink together." Overjoyed, Liu Yu picked up his son and wanted to have a drink with him.

If it wasn't for Zhen Jiang at the side to stop him, maybe he really gave his son a drink.

This news really surprised Liu Yu, because Liu Yu didn't expect that the alien races in the north could be integrated, and then aggressively attacked Cao Cao.

Having said that, I have to say that Ke is better than Yuan Shang.These two were already in collusion, by the way, there is also Gongsun Du.

The situation is like this, Cao Cao attacked Gongsun Du, wanting to eradicate Gongsun Du completely.And Ke Bineng actually took the opportunity to integrate the power of the grassland, not to mention, with the help of Yuan Shang, he really became a tyrant of the grassland.Although it did not unify the grassland in one fell swoop, its strength has been greatly enhanced.

Ke Bi Neng knew that Cao Cao was his strong enemy, and he and Cao Cao had close enemies, so he naturally took advantage of the coming of winter to go south.Firstly, revenge, secondly, to kidnap people and rob food.

Under Cao Cao's ignorance, he really suffered heavy losses, and he didn't even care about the remaining forces of Gongsundu, so he returned to the court to deal with Ke Bineng.

Liu Yu estimated that this time Cao Cao and Kebi would definitely fight.In addition, when Yuan Shang recovers, he will definitely join the battle group.

Even if Yuan Shang still wants to attack him, he will let Yuan Shang turn to deal with Cao Cao.

Just when Liu Yu was complacent about the news, another piece of good news came: Xu Shu finally came back!

At that time, when Liu Yu received the news, he immediately went out and mounted his horse, and went straight to the city gate to meet Xu Shu in person.

Seeing Xu Shu again, Liu Yu couldn't help feeling a little emotional, because Xu Shu was much more mature than before.No, the word maturity should not be used, but the word vicissitudes should be used.

"Yuan Zhi, long time no see, you and I have to have a good drink today."

Liu Yu looked at Xu Shu, full of emotion.Back then, the two of them were still immature, struggling hard on this land.I don't want to blink... Time is not forgiving!
Xu Shu was also very excited, stepped forward and cupped his hands, "My lord, I have seen you before."

"Haha, why are you and I being polite. Let's go, and follow me back to the mansion." Liu Yu laughed and pulled Xu Shu up, and then the two rode back to the palace.

This treatment was only for Xu Shu, which meant that Zhuge Liang came from Jingzhou, and it was impossible for Liu Yu to let him rest in the palace.Of course, this doesn't mean that Xu Shu didn't have a mansion in Shouchun.

Back at the palace, Liu Yu didn't inform the others, but just drank and chatted with Xu Shu.For a while they talked about the time when they rose up, for a while they talked about the glory days, and for a while they talked about the time after they parted...

In the end, both of them were so drunk that the table was overturned.If the servant hadn't helped them back to the room, the two of them would probably have slept in the lobby for one night.It can be seen how happy the two met.

When he woke up the next day, Liu Yu was fine, and even had time to chat with Xu Shu.But Xu Shu couldn't do it. After chatting with Liu Yu for a while, he was dragged away by Pang Tong and others. Naturally, he had another drink.

For several days, no matter Liu Yu, Xu Shu, or Pang Tong had nothing to do, the whole place was very idle.But soon, something happened, because Liu Yu called everyone together.

At first, everyone didn't think anything was wrong.But when some people saw Xu Shu coming back, they realized that something might be wrong, such as Pang Tong.

If you didn't realize it, you realized it when you entered the lobby of the palace, because there were quite a lot of people gathered in the lobby.

Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Chen Gong, Jia Xu... Du Ji, Chen Jun, Bu Zhi... Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Lu Xun... and so on!
There are a large number of people, and some famous people under Liu Yu's command are there.Needless to say, there must be a big event, otherwise it would be impossible to work so hard.

After everyone sat down one by one, Liu Yu finally came out from the back hall.As soon as he came, the scene suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke.

"Everyone, many things happened this year, and we need to analyze them one by one." As soon as he sat down, Liu Yu said straight to the point, "Today we are going to analyze these things, and then discuss countermeasures."

After finishing speaking, he paused to give everyone a reaction time.

Then, as soon as he knocked on the case, he said again: "Okay, then let's start with the first thing. The first thing is the matter of Xuzhou. Although Yuan Jun was driven out of Xuzhou, the impact of this matter is still there. , so everyone will analyze and analyze.”

Liu Yu spoke a series of words very quickly, except for a few people who were prepared, everyone else was a little confused.Even though many people present had already thought about the Xuzhou matter, they didn't know what to say for a while.

Therefore, the scene suddenly became quiet again, only the sound of Liu Yu knocking on the table remained.

After a while, Lu Xun stood up and said loudly, "My lord, the battle of Xuzhou has far-reaching effects. It can be said that our plan has been completely disrupted."

Although Lu Xun didn't know much about Liu Yu's plan, after all, he was not a core adviser before.But he stood up and said it loudly because he was ambitious and didn't want his position to stop there.

"Although Yuan Jun was defeated in the end, our army suffered heavy casualties. Many of the elite were killed and injured, and their strength was greatly reduced. Not only that, Xuzhou was destroyed by the war, and it would take time to rebuild. It was basically unable to support the Northern Expedition."

Lu Xun has grown up, he is no longer the immature boy he used to be, he can talk freely to all the ministers.Moreover, what he said was not wrong, especially the word Northern Expedition, which made Liu Yu's eyes shine.

After analyzing the situation in Xuzhou, Lu Xun did not stop there.He paused for a while, then began to analyze again,
"My lord wants to make a northern expedition. There are only two roads, one from Shangcai and the other from Xuzhou. Now Xuzhou is powerless, and Shangcai is blocked by Jushou. It can be described as a difficult situation."

As soon as Lu Xun said this, Liu Yu's eyes became brighter, because what Lu Xun said was right.Even if he captures Jingzhou, there are only two ways to attack Yuan Shang, but now these two ways are not easy to take.

For example, Xuzhou, he can march from here, but Xuzhou has suffered heavy losses, and there is not enough food, weapons, etc. It would take too much time and effort for him to replenish.

As for Shangcai, it is no better than Xuzhou.
