Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 201 Lead the snake out of the hole
"Cao Cao took very strict precautions around him, and his confidant Xu Chu was always guarding him, making it difficult for assassins to strike. So the only way to raise the flag is to launch a mutiny?"

"Mutiny? I don't know how many people the general can use?"

"I have made a clear calculation. I have 3000 troops, and Xuande has 5000. [-] people are enough to cause an incident and defeat Cao Cao. When Cao Cao is careless, we will raise troops together. After occupying Xudu, we can spread the imperial edict to the world and order all places to fight. If the princes come to serve the king, Cao Cao will be defeated."

"According to what the general said. Let's hurry up and hunt, don't make Cao Cao suspicious." Liu Bei agreed, but his heart was turbulent: 5000 people?Just kidding, isn't this courting death? Who is Cao Cao? After Dong Zhuo was assassinated, his subordinates could still attack Chang'an. Wang Yun died without a place to bury him. Can Dong Zhuo compare with Cao Cao? Can we compare with Wang Yun and Lu Bu? ?

The plan has been decided, and the two concentrate on hunting.Liu Bei shot a rabbit, and when he found Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they hunted two wolves, three deer, and five rabbits. "Haha, brother. These two wolves were killed by me with bare hands, and the fur is not damaged. It is just for you to make a leather mattress. Unfortunately, there are no tigers and leopards, let alone bears. Why don't you make a big cloak for brother." Zhang Fei said.

"Third brother Lao Lao. It's getting late, let's go back." Liu Bei said with a heart full of thoughts.

Naturally, Liu Xie and Cao Cao didn't have to search for prey like the generals did. The soldiers would drive the small animals in front of them. Liu Xie finally shot a deer after missing several arrows in a row. He was very happy. A deer and a wild boar stopped shooting.

The generals came back one after another, showing off their gains to each other. Cao Cao arranged for people to count the numbers, and kept looking towards the northwest direction: Dong Cheng came back first, and Liu Bei arrived soon. Seeing the two people who looked like passers-by, Cao Cao thought to himself : Pretentious.

The result of the final count was that Cao Xiu came out on top, most of which were deer and rabbits.After Liu Xie boasted a few words, he bestowed the precious carving bow to Cao Xiu. Liu Xie had a great time hunting Liu Xie, and Cao Xiu got the precious carving bow, which made the little emperor very distressed.

After the hunting was over, Zhou Cang bid farewell to Cao Cao and returned to Xuzhou.

After Liu Bei returned home, he immediately called for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. "Stay at home these days and don't go out. When someone comes to visit, just say that I am sick and can't see the visitor." The two don't know why.Liu Bei ingeniously set up a shelf in his vegetable garden, covered with straw mats he woven, just like a greenhouse in the Three Kingdoms period.Who says you can't grow vegetables in winter, I, Liu Bei, can.

"By the way, your sister-in-law misses her brother very much these days. Yun Chang, ask Ping'er to take them to Pengcheng to visit relatives. Yide tells your wife to let him go with your sister-in-law."

"Yes, big brother." Liu Bei sent his family members to Pengcheng without comprehension.

Cao Cao called Xun You, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu again. "According to what Feng Xiao said, Dong Cheng and Liu Bei had already colluded during the hunt, so how to lure the snake out of the cave next?"

"My lord, I have a method, but there are some omissions in it, I don't know if I should explain it or not." Cheng Yu said hesitantly.

"If there is anything else that should be said or not, let's discuss it together."

"I heard that Liu Bei shuts the door and sees no guests after returning home. Hehe, if he is not a thief, why is he guilty? Liu Bei will not act rashly if he is guilty. If we give him a chance, Liu Bei will rush on him impatiently."

Xun You asked again: "Judging from Liu Bei's actions, he is indeed ambitious and good at winning the hearts of the people. But he has no foundation, so he is so afraid of him?"

"Anyone who has a different intention should be wiped out, and obstacles that hinder the lord's unification of the world must be removed. Liu Bei claims to be a kinsman, and he also worships Lu Zhi as his teacher. He wins over the nobles and makes friends with heroes. Although his power is weak now, the potential threat should not be underestimated. Since he is not of one mind with the lord, instead of guarding against him all day, it is better to kill him as soon as possible to avoid future troubles." Cheng Yu continued, "Compared to Dong Chengzhi's lack of talent, it is nothing to worry about."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Tell me your strategy."

"Now that Yuan Shu has retreated to the Huai River, and Lujiang River has been taken by Zhou Weiguo, he has nowhere to go. Why not send Liu Bei to conquer?"

Cao Cao listened carefully, "Are you saying that Liu Bei is bound to be gone forever, and that we are just going to kill him?"

"Exactly."

Xun You said: "The omission Zhong De said is that he is afraid that Liu Bei will escape again. Zhong, you are worried that the tiger will go back to the mountain and leave a big trouble."

"Exactly." Cheng Yu said again.

"It doesn't matter." Cao Cao pondered for a moment, "If he wants to escape, he must vote for Liu Biao and Sun Ce in the south, or Yuan Shao in the north. Li Tong's seat in Shouchun can make Zhou Weiguo cut off his way to the south from Lujiang River, and Che Zhou sends troops from Xuzhou. Xu Du sent troops, outflanked the three fronts, and Liu Bei had nowhere to hide."

Cheng Yu cupped his hands and said, "My lord sees clearly. My lord must personally lead the army, and must use all the soldiers from Xudu, so that Dong Cheng will think that there is an opportunity to show his tail, and we can take Dong Cheng down. This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone." .”

"In the future, my lord can convene a meeting to discuss the conquest of Yuan Shu. If Liu Bei has a ghost in his heart, he will definitely take the initiative to invite Ying. My lord will only give him [-] soldiers and horses. Forgive him for not being able to cause much trouble."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Guo Jia kept frowning and did not speak.After the three of them came out of the Cao Mansion, Cheng Yu asked, "Why is Feng Xiao silent?"

"Haha, it's nothing. This game is difficult to solve, but also easy to end. It can be solved in any way, and it can't be done. Hehehe." After speaking, he waved his sleeves and walked away.

After finally surviving the cold winter, his soldiers were fleeing every day, and the number of bandits on the mountain and in the water was increasing every day, and they even started to rob Yuan Shu.Sitting alone on the big dragon chair, Yuan Shu became completely alone.After Zhang Jiong left, his whereabouts were unknown. Civil servants and generals were gone, soldiers were gone, food and grass were gone, and the Jade Seal of Chuanguo was gone.

Yuan Shu hated Yuan Shao, hated Cao Cao, hated Sun Ce, hated Lu Bu for being his enemy, and hated his ungrateful subordinates.When the news of Lu Bu's death by Cao Cao came, Yuan Shu was even more afraid. Cao Cao's power was stronger, and the next step would be to point the finger at him again.

I can't fight, what should I do?There was no taste at all in the honey water, so Yuan Shu dropped the cup in his hand, and ordered the remaining ten thousand soldiers and horses to prepare immediately and go north to Qingzhou via Xuzhou to join Yuan Tan.

In March of the fourth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei participated in the military meeting organized by Cao Cao for the first time. The theme of the meeting was to wipe out Yuan Shu and regain Huainan.

Liu Bei persuaded Cao Cao not to go out in person, and it was enough for Yuan Shu to send 1 people by himself, which was praised by Cao Cao.Cheng Yu and the others looked at each other and smiled, Jia Xuquan pretended not to see anything, and kept pretending to be asleep.

"Hahaha. We finally got out of the cage, and from now on, the world will let me travel." Liu Bei led the army to leave Xudu, looked back, and said complacently.

"Brother, where are we going? Are we going to attack Yuan Shu?" Guan Yu asked.
