Article 68 Yu Xianji
Unfortunately, Qin Xu hit the mark.

In history, Cao Cao's ability to successfully conquer such a large territory is inseparable from his keen eyesight, smooth news channels and decisive character.

Almost at the same time when Qin Xu suggested that Lu Bu speed up his march and try to reach Linzi, the seat of Qingzhou as soon as possible, Cao Cao also received a secret report from his subordinates.

"The news came so late!" Lao Cao shouted hysterically, holding the bamboo piece in his hand.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan took the wrong medicine, and even our old Cao suffered a disadvantage. If the news came a few days earlier, the ghost would have made the whole Qingzhou cheaper for Lu Bu.

Qingzhou, six counties and three lands, bordering the river and the sea, with countless acres of land and millions of people, although there are yellow scarf bandits raging in the territory, how is it compared to the three Zhang Jiao brothers before?Isn't that just a dish!If you can use it for your own use, it will be the foundation of a strong army!
But now?Apart from getting Lu Bu a box of jewels, there is no benefit, and he lost his two arms for no reason.And what about the loss?Not only did he place a fierce tiger-like enemy in his backyard, but he also foolishly sent the tiger off to eat the dish that should belong to him to grow stronger.

Isn't it enough to be full?

After chopping down almost the entire table with a sword, Cao Cao gradually calmed down and ordered Cheng Yu to come to discuss the matter.

"My lord, why are you so angry?" It was Xun Yu who spoke, this person whom Cao Cao called "my son's house", asked Xun Yu as he watched the servant lying on the ground packing up the broken cases.In his impression, Cao Cao has always been strategic and humorous. At least in the few years they have been together, no matter how difficult things are, Cao Cao has never lost his composure.

"Ha! I made Wen Ruo laugh!" Cao Cao laughed at himself, sighed, and said, "I found out that I made a big mistake. I made myself an enemy in the future for no reason, but now I can't do anything!"

"The Lord is talking about Lu Bu?" Xi Zhicai completely lost the decadent attitude at the banquet that day, and asked with an unusual blush on his pale face, coughing violently a few times.

"Mr. Xi, you need to take care of your health. You still need to rely on your resourcefulness. You don't need to worry about these small things." Cao Cao said a few words of concern to comfort Xi Zhi, and said to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, that day We predicted that the conflict between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan would break out in Qingzhou, so we decided to use Lu Bu to restrain Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian, and attract Yuan Shao's attention; but now the conflict between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao has intensified, Yuan Shao occupies the second prefecture of Ji, and Gongsun Zan monopolizes You Qingzhou and Liaodong, the two sides are roughly equal in strength, and they are fighting on two fronts, and I am afraid that they will not be able to take Qingyan two prefectures into account for a while."

"Isn't this just taking advantage of Lu Bu?" Cheng Yu said in a muffled voice.Cheng Yu's temperament was already extremely strong, since he was scolded by Qin Xu that day, Cheng Yu didn't go out for several days, and everyone seemed to be laughing at him.It's true, to be insulted like this by a boy who is nearly two generations younger than him is a shame!If he doesn't take revenge, he probably won't be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life. With this thought, he doesn't even have a good impression of Lu Bu.

"What Zhongde said is exactly what Cao thought in his heart!" Cao Cao sympathetically looked at the Shouzhang Order, which he had confiscated not long ago. The baby became so angry after a few words, and didn't know whether to say it was sad or a pity.

"Where is Lu Bu's army marching now?" Cao Cao frowned and thought for a moment, then asked suddenly.

"According to the schedule, we should be near Puyang where General Miaocai is stationed." Xun Yu said casually, but suddenly seemed to think of something, and said, "Could it be that my lord wants to..."

Xi Zhicai remained silent, and Cheng Yu seemed to understand the meaning of Cao Cao's words. A trace of ecstasy appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "When Lu Bu was in Hebei, he hated Yuan Benchu ​​and was hunted down by Yuan Shao; and our army is divided with Yuan Shao." Belonging to the alliance! My lord agreed to Lv Bu to make an excuse that day. It was an expedient strategy, but the purpose was to lure Lv Bu into the hinterland of our army and gather a crowd to kill him. Now that Lu Bu's fellow has fallen into the trap, my lord takes this opportunity to get rid of this disaster?"

Xi Zhicai had been frowning since Cheng Yu started talking, and Cao Cao seemed to be very moved by Cheng Yu's proposal, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

"My lord, now our army Chen Liu has [-] troops, General Puyang Miaocai has [-] troops under his command, and General Cao Chun who stayed behind in Dongjun also has thousands of horse troops, [-] infantry, and a total of nearly [-] troops! And Lu Bu? , although it is known as an army of [-], the number of soldiers capable of fighting is only more than [-] soldiers from the five battalions of Zhanzheng, Xiaoqi, Flying Cavalry, Divine Bow, and Guards, and the rest are all miscellaneous soldiers. The soldiers and horses attack from three sides, even if Lu Bu is a tiger with two wings, in the situation of ten to one, it is impossible to escape defeat! Please think carefully, my lord!"

"Huh?" Cao Cao took a deep breath and looked thoughtful, but from the corner of his eyes, he was watching the expressions of Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai.

Xun Yu is fine, although he is frowning slightly, he is still elegant, as if he doesn't agree with Cheng Yu's words, but he can't think of any other good way to prevent Lu Bu from entering Qingzhou and causing more damage to Cao Jun For the big threat, he only lowered his eyes and calculated, but did not speak.

But Xi Zhicai didn't have so many worries, first he looked at Cheng Yu like an idiot, rolled his eyes, sighed heavily, shook his head and glanced at Cheng Yu with an angry face.

Xi Zhicai's behavior made Cheng Yuyun feel confused, but Cheng Yuxin entered Cao Cao's circle of advisers and knew that Xi Zhicai was trusted by Cao Cao, so he resisted the awkwardness in his heart and asked: "Mr. I don't quite agree with what Cheng said, so I dare to ask if there is any high-level theory that can solve the lord's worries?"

"Ah!" Xi Zhicai stretched his waist greatly, and said to Cao Cao, "My lord, how about Qin Xu?"

For a while, Cao Cao didn't understand why Xi Zhicai changed the subject at this time, and talked about the doll master book that Cheng Yu hated so much, but Xi Zhicai always said what he said, Cao Cao took a look and was annoyed by the name Cheng Yu, who has wide eyes, said to Xi Zhicai: "Mr. Xi Tong Wenruo said the other day that your old friend Guo Jia is a hundred times better than this Qin kid. He has already sent people to inquire about Guo Jia's whereabouts. Why did you bring this up again today?" Qin Xu coming?"

"If you only talk about Lu Bu, although he has the courage of a tiger, he is only a hero for a while. Mr. Zhong De's plan may be effective, but..." Xi Zhicai sneered, and said: "If that Qin Xu is by the side, we can After hearing this news, what do you think he will say to Lu Bu?"

"It's just a child, Mr. Xi thinks too much of him, right?" Cheng Yu heard Xi Zhicai's words to praise Qin Xu, and said coldly: "It doesn't matter whether they can get the news if they go deep alone. So what if we know? I don't believe that kid can escape from the siege of the lord's army ten times larger than him, just relying on his words? Haha! Haha..."

After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he saw that neither Cao Cao nor Xun Yu had any intention of agreeing, so he put away his dry smile in embarrassment, and said to Cao Cao: "My lord, don't miss this opportunity! If you are caught by that Lu Bu After successfully occupying Qingzhou, our army will be passive."

"Wen Ruo, what do you think?" Cao Cao seemed to be moved by Cheng Yu's words, but Xi Zhicai's words were also quite reasonable. Qin Xu's performance that day was really extraordinary. I hate how I voted for Lu Bu.

"My lord, Mr. Zhong De's words do have some truth. If the lord is only to solve a temporary problem, this plan can be used. But..." Xun Yu smacked his lips, and then he winked at Xi Zhi secretly, and said, "It doesn't matter. Whether it is a three-way attack or other methods, it will take three days to travel from Chenliu to Puyang Kuaima, and at least five days to reach Dongjun, and it will take two days to mobilize and deploy the [-] troops of Chenliu's army. It's hard to keep up with the march of Lu Bu's army."

"Then quickly notify the two generals Xia Houyuan and Cao Chun to dispatch troops, and at the same time secretly order to spread the news that Lv Bu's army has a lot of gold, silver, grain and grass to the bandits along the way. In this way, the march of Lv Bu's army can be temporarily slowed down! If it goes well I'm afraid that the Lord's three-way army is not going to encircle and suppress Lu Bu, but to destroy the bandits who have been hidden for a long time, and accept Lu Bu's military resources by the way!" Cheng Yu's eyes flashed a ruthless look, as expected of being impatient, even daring to be human. The ruthless people who used it as military rations even used the strategy of "driving wolves and tigers away" in order to destroy Lu Bu's army.

"Let me think about it again!" Hearing Cheng Yu's plan, Cao Cao's eyes flashed with joy, but seeing the dissatisfaction written on the faces of Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai, Cao Cao couldn't agree immediately. After breaking the hearts of the two confidants, Cao Cao immediately gave Cheng Yu a wink, and Cao Cao pretended to be tired and gave the order to evict the guests.

"Wen Ruo, why don't you persuade my lord! Such a poisonous scheme is just drinking poison to quench thirst. If it spreads, even if Lu Bu is defeated, it will have a very bad impact on the lord's reputation and the future governance of Yanzhou. Attached? Cheng Zhongde is going crazy!" After Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai backed off, Xi Zhicai complained to the wryly smiling Xun Yu.

"Cheng Zhongde was so humiliated by that doll named Qin Xu in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu army. It is normal for people to be in chaos. Brother Xi, don't bother with him. I think the lord seems to be very concerned about this plan. You and I still don't care about it." It will be in vain to waste all your efforts, and you will end up making the lord unhappy." Xun Yu said with a bitter face: "As for the governance of the people of the state, you and I should think of ways to do so, and it will also save the people from suffering from the chaos of war. If someone sees through the trick, there will be less scolding."

"Since that's the case, Wen Ruo will go and take care of your state affairs, and I'll go drink myself!" Xi Zhicai's face became paler, and his sick blush became more red. He coughed a few times, sneered, and said, "It's okay I don't know if our letter has been sent to Feng Xiao's prodigal son, if Feng Xiao is here, there must be a clever plan so that Cheng Yu doesn't have to use such vicious tricks."

"Feng Xiao..." Xun Yu suddenly felt an inexplicable uneasiness.
