Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 387 Liu Biao and Liu Bei

Zhou Cang didn't speak, and Zhou Wen didn't dare to make a sound.The two were still thinking about each other, Zhou Chong came to report, and the spies sent to Jingzhou sent back the news.

One piece of news is that Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu have returned, and Zhuge Jun is indeed not at home.The second news was surprising.

When Cao Cao attacked Liyang, Liu Biao got the news. He didn't know why Liu Biao suddenly changed, and he did something that no one expected: he sent 5000 more troops for Liu Bei, ordered Liu Bei to go north to attack Wancheng, and sent general Jingzhou Wen Hired and deputy general Wang Wei led [-] troops as a response.

Liu Bei was unequivocal, and asked Li Tong and Runande Cao Xiu, who were hired by Wenpin to block Shouchun, to personally lead Guan Zhang and Zhao Yun. With 8000 men and horses, they marched rapidly and seized Yedi before Cao Ren sent troops.Forming a confrontation with Cao Ren, Guan, Zhang, and Zhao Yun attacked in turn, and Cao Ren was exhausted from tossing. As soon as he wanted to retreat to Wancheng, Liu Bei's form was very good.

Unexpectedly, in less than a month, Cao Cao withdrew from Liyang.When Liu Bei got the news, he moved his long legs to evacuate Yedi and return to Xinye, while Wenpin and Wang Wei returned to Jingzhou.Cao Ren held a grudge in his heart and led his troops to pursue him. Liu Bei abandoned his camp and food, and set fire to him to drive Cao Ren back. Cao Ren lost a thousand men and had to stop pursuing and return to Wancheng.The Northern Expedition of Liu Biao and Liu Bei ended hastily. Liu Bei first seized Yedi and then defeated Cao Ren, which attracted the attention of Jingzhou people. Some people thought that Liu Bei should not be given military power and he was dangerous. Others thought that Liu Bei had some skills.

After Zhou Cang and Zhou Wen heard what Zhou Chong said, they were in a daze, there was too much information revealed in it.

Zhou Wen smiled awkwardly: "My lord, we all look down on Liu Biao a little bit. Hey, he can sit in a state, how can he be a kind person. Liu Biao just wants to keep Jingzhou, but it is definitely not the passive defense we think."

Even if Liu Biao is only a guard dog, he is still a vicious dog.It's true that Liu Biao is a panelist, but he doesn't just know how to sit and talk!Zhou Cang rubbed his hands and said: "Cao Yuan fought at Guandu, Liu Biao thought he would lose both if he didn't help each other. Yuan Shao died, and he wanted to take the opportunity to capture Wancheng, let Liu Bei guard Wancheng in Wancheng as a barrier to the north like Zhang Xiu. To make Cao Cao withdraw from Hebei and confront the North and the South again, all he did was for Jingzhou." It seems that Cao Cao's retreat has something to do with Liu Biao's black guns behind his back.

Zhou Wen couldn't help laughing, Liu Biao and Zhou Cang's actions are so similar, but Zhou Cang is more active and proactive, and can maximize his own income every time. Based on this alone, Liu Biao is far inferior to Zhou Cang.

This guy Liu Bei is used to sneaking around, and he wants to grab it when he sees a bargain. He was very decisive when he heard that Cao Cao returned to the army and ran immediately. He even thought of burning the army rations to repel Cao Ren.

Zhou Cang sighed: "Liu Biao and Liu Bei misjudged the situation and exposed their intentions prematurely. Even if Cao Cao sends troops to Hebei in the future, Cao Ren will strengthen his defense. It is difficult to get such a good opportunity. It is a pity, if Liu Bei can occupy Wanwan If you don’t persuade Cao Cao to retreat, but try to fool Cao Cao into attacking Liyang, maybe it will create something for the big-eared thief warplane.

This is to have no fore and aft view of everything, and lose sight of the other because of one thing.Zhou Cang has already taken the opportunity several times by relying on Zhuge Liang after the fact, and took advantage of it. It is impossible to know all the things and variables well.

Zhou Wen was silent, wanting to surprise Xu Du, and the plan to fight for world hegemony died before it started.This is God wanting to help Cao Cao. Is the big-eared thief so afraid of Cao Cao?If Liu Bei can attract Cao Cao to Wancheng, he can join forces with Yuan Tan to push Xudu.Unfortunately, there is no if.

Liu Bei sent troops this time, showing off his muscles to the people of Jingzhou: See, I am still very tall. The reason why I can’t beat Cao Cao is because I don’t have enough food. Soldiers have food, and I, Liu Xuande, are very powerful.A few years later, it turned out that Liu Bei's bet was right. When Liu Biao died of illness and Jingzhou was leaderless, the local gentry who did not want to take refuge in Cao Cao bet their treasure on Liu Bei.

Zhou Chong didn't understand what the two of them were thinking.

Zhou Chong pondered for a while, and then said: "Patriarch, I just heard that Wu Zhi has taken refuge in Cao Cao again? This wind can't last long, isn't it..." Zhou Chong made a gesture of wiping his neck, with murderous intent in his eyes, ruthless Zhou Wen felt a little creepy.

When did Zhou Chong become so violent, or did he say he was too soft-hearted?Zhou Cang looked at Zhou Wen, Zhou Wen nodded and shook his head: "Wu Zhi's defection to Cao Cao is probably involuntary. We sent him to see Cao Cao, so what if Cao Cao forced him to stay. When you are an envoy, you should guard against being left behind by Cao Cao." If everyone is punished, who else can we send as an envoy in the future? So this has nothing to do with Wu Zhi. But if Wu Zhi betrayed Xuzhou, he must not stay, but if Wu Zhi is killed at this time, Cao Cao will definitely I think it was the lord's doing..."

I don't know if it's because of age or the passage of time, but Zhou Wen's hostility is not so heavy. Wu Zhi had died at least ten times when he was under Dong Zhuo.

Zhou Cang pinched the corner of his clothes, there was a small sealed pocket, which contained the poison that Tian Guangben was going to put in.

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Cang let go of his hand: "Yuan Fang's worries are not unreasonable. Zhou Chong, send someone to keep an eye on Wu Zhi to see who he associates with, and keep an eye on another person. This person is Sima Yi, the secretary of Cao Cao's house. Hold on, these two people should be vigilant at all times, don't stare too closely and show your feet."

If necessary, Zhou Cang would not mind poisoning the two of them together.Zhou Chong was particularly unwilling, but he didn't dare to disobey his orders, and bowed his head to receive orders.

Zhou Cang was a little lost again. In the future, there will be more and more complicated situations, and the minds of his subordinates will be more scattered. They will no longer be as united as they were when Xuzhou was first built. Obstacles, intimidating subordinates, killing and slaughtering are too far behind Cao Cao, and in this regard, he is not a competent ruler.

Zhou Wenman has a dark belly and uses all kinds of means to achieve his goal.Zhang Jiong is old, and Xun Chen is still of great use in Liaodong.Cui Jun is only suitable to be a county guard, Zhao Yu is old-fashioned, and the most promising Chen Deng died early.In the letter, Zhou Cang carefully sifts through the characters he is familiar with in the Three Kingdoms: Zhuge Liang is too thoughtful to use for himself.Xu Shu?Is it possible to tie Xu Shu's mother to Xuzhou?

"Zhou Chong, you carefully select fifty dead soldiers. No matter men, women, old or young, as long as you are not afraid of death. Three of them specialize in assassination and martial arts. Three of them should live like ordinary people and drink with the enemy at critical times. A jug of poisoned wine. Two adults are dedicated to learning how to make traps for news agencies. The last two adults must be proficient in everything. I hope that every time they make a move, their opponents will die inhumanely!"
