Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 280

During the crusade against Xuzhou, Cheng Yu communicated with Cao Cao and knew about the plans between Cao Cao and Zhou Cang, but Xun You didn't know about it. Xun You frowned and said, "I'm afraid that Zhou Cang has changed his mind now. He will return the Lujiang River by himself." To the lord, but he exchanged the two counties of Donglai and Chengyang, so there is no loss for him."

Guo Jia also said worriedly: "I am most afraid that these rumors will reach Zhou Cang's ears. If he feels that the lord is suspicious of him, will he change his original intention? Besides, Yuan Shao can send people to Xudu to spread rumors. They will also go to Xuzhou to spread the word, and may even send people directly to negotiate with Zhou Cang..."

"Don't worry about Zhongde, Yuan Shao has already done this. This is the seal he just sent someone to recommend Zhou Cang as General Zhengdong to open the mansion." Pass the watch to Cheng Yu.

"Yuan Benchu ​​has such a vicious scheme." Cheng Yu said after seeing it, "What should I do?"

"I'm also worried about this matter. Although Zhou Cang is very powerful now, I don't worry that Zhou Weiguo will have a rebellious heart, but I am afraid that these people will hinder him and make Zhou Cang feel self-protective." Cao Cao rubbed his head and said, " Now, I am determined to send someone to appease, but I am afraid that it will be counterproductive. I dare not do anything that is unfavorable to Xuzhou. Zhou Cang was very thoughtful, and if he found anything wrong, he would definitely react."

"Then the lord's intention is to sit back and watch the changes?"

"That's the only way, I can't think of any other good strategy." Cao Cao pointed to the impeachment of Zhou Cang again. "However, these can't be without an explanation!"

"I don't want to bother you, my lord. I'll find a way to suppress it." Xun Yu finally said, "But it's not an option to wait and see what happens. We are too passive. I have a way. Since Yuan Shao recommended Zhou Cang as General Zhengdong, My lord might as well simply admit it, engrave a seal and give it to Zhou Cang, and visit Zhou Cang by the way. As for the opening of the mansion, what is the difference from now?"

"That's all it takes..."

Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Yang Xiu, the chief bookkeeper, came to report. "My lord, the envoy of Xuzhou Zhou has arrived in Xudu, please see my lord."

"It's impossible for Zhou Cang to get the news so quickly! Even if he worked carefully in Xudu, it's impossible for him to hear it so quickly, let alone come to Xudu so quickly." Guo Jia said, "I guess he is I have something to see my lord."

"That's right, what Feng Xiao said is true. Let's listen to what Zhou Cang said first."

"Ahem, you guys go to the back to avoid it, Dezu asked Zhou Cang to come in." Cao Cao said.

"I was about to send someone to Xuzhou, but I didn't expect Wei Guo to come in person, so I saved the trip." Cao Cao was ready to strike first when he saw Zhou Cang.

"Oh? I don't know why Mr. Cao is looking for me?"

"Look for yourself." Cao Cao asked Yang Xiu to hand over Yuan Shao's watch to Zhou Cang. "Yuan Benchu ​​recommended Wei Guo as the general who conquered the East."

Zhou Cang took a rough look. "Hehe, Yuan Benchu ​​is trying to drive a wedge between Mr. Cao and me. He is at the end of his rope."

Cao Cao asked suspiciously, "I don't know what is the allusion about the lack of skills in Qian donkey?"

Only then did Zhou Cang realize that this word would only exist after the Tang Dynasty.He shook his big black head: "There are no donkeys in Guizhou, and those who have good intentions can carry them in by boat. When they arrive, they will be useless and put them under the mountain. When a tiger sees it, it is also a huge monster. It thinks it is a god, and it hides it in the forest to peek at it. Go a little closer. However, I don’t know each other. In the future, when the donkey crows, the tiger is terrified, fleeing far away, thinking that it will devour itself, and is very afraid. However, looking at it from time to time, I feel that there is no supernatural person; learning its sound, and approaching the front and back, and finally Don't dare to fight. A little closer, benefiting from sex, swaying and rushing. The donkey is furious, and hooves. The tiger is delighted, and said: "The skill stops with the ears! Because of jumping and staggering big, it cuts its throat and uses up its flesh. go."

"Hahaha." Cao Cao laughed, tears streaming from his eyes. "It's really you who thought of calling Yuan Benchu ​​a donkey. Hahahaha."

Xu Chu didn't quite understand, so he followed along.Xun Yu and the others hid behind the scenes, covering their mouths with one hand and holding their stomachs with the other, trying desperately not to make a sound.

After a while, Cao Cao stopped laughing and looked at Yang Xiu who was still snickering. "Dezu, write it down, and write it down for everyone to see."

Yang Xiu has the ability to remember with a photograph, so it is easy to write this short paragraph silently, so he gladly accepted the order and retreated.Cao Cao laughed. On the one hand, he really thought it was funny, and on the other hand, he was covering up for Xun Yu and others.

After dismissing Yang Xiu, Zhou Cang said: "I am also here for this matter. Yuan Shao not only gave the imperial court a seal, but also sent his subordinate Guo Tu to Xuzhou to lobby me."

"Well, Yuan Shao has a lot of small tricks." Cao Cao didn't ask directly, but wanted to wait for Zhou Cang to speak up.

"He didn't talk about General Zhengdong. Instead, he used Han Xin's choice when Chu and Han were fighting to persuade me."

Zhou Cang's words stunned Cao Cao, and Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others were even more surprised.It is very convincing to use Han Xin's fate as an argument.

Zhou Cang pretended not to see Cao Cao's reaction. "Guo Tu thought he had a plan, so he didn't worry that I would get a lot of information. After Yuan Shao returned to Hebei, he fell seriously ill. His youngest son, Yuan Shang, was sick before he collapsed. Yuan Shao intends to pass on the throne to Yuan Shang in a hundred years."

"How could Guo Tu say this?" Cao Cao asked incredulously.

"Mr. Cao didn't know that Guo Tu, Xin Ping and other Yingchuan gentry supported Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan, while Jizhou's Shenpei, Feng Ji and others supported his youngest son Yuan Shang. Now the two sides are intriguing, and they are almost torn apart. .”

"I only heard that Yuan Shao dotes on his young son, but I didn't expect that there are so many interesting things about him."

"Exactly. I just wanted to discuss with Duke Cao, but Yuan Shao wanted to separate me from Duke Cao in a whimsical way, so I will repay him in his own way."

"Why do you apply the way of others to others?"

"I intend to create the illusion of supporting Yuan Tan, so that Yuan Tan can fight for the heir, and let their brothers fight each other. In this way, Jizhou will have a lot of fun. If they can make their brothers fight against each other, it will be easy for Duke Cao to take Jizhou. "

"Then according to what Wei Guo saw, once Yuan Shao died, Hebei would be torn apart. But what if Yuan Shao doesn't die?" Cao Cao asked.

"Even if Yuan Shao doesn't die, Jizhou will be distracted. When Duke Cao attacks Hebei, at least Yuan Tan will not try his best to save it." Zhou Cang said with a smile. He would never ask Cao Cao not to attack Qingzhou. IQ will make its own choice.

"It's a good way to give back to others! What is it called? It's called stealing chickens without losing rice." Cao Cao laughed. "Yuan Benchu ​​is really at the end of his rope."

Xun Yu and the others felt itchy in their hearts when they heard it behind the scenes, and the cursing came to a new level.

"Okay, according to what Wei Guo said, you can contact Yuan Tan as much as you want, but you have to be careful."

"Yes, Mr. Cao, don't worry. In fact, this time, there is another important event. There is an important gift for Mr. Cao."
