The Invincible Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

"This is an opportunity...why when Liu Rui appears..." Xi Zhicai suddenly changed his face and said in a low voice.

"No! You haven't seen Liu Rui's martial arts, but he is stronger than Lu Bu! If we can't kill the opponent, we will be in big trouble! Compared with Liu Rui, Dong Zhuo, who holds the Son of Heaven, is the big trouble!" Cao Cao pondered for a moment. , said immediately.

"Well, after defeating Dong Zhuo, as long as we grab the emperor first, we will take the lead! Then we can deal with Liu Rui in the name of the emperor!" Xi Zhicai whispered again...

Guo Jia returned to Jizhou and told Liu Rui of Cao Cao's willingness to cooperate.Liu Rui was ready soon, and went with Guo Jia to the place where he and Cao Cao agreed to meet.

"Haha, Brother Haosheng, we meet again."

"Yeah, I've been away from brother Meng De for a long time, and we finally meet again. Without further ado, let's talk about cooperation."

"Okay!" Cao Cao said, "I don't know how Brother Haosheng wants to cooperate?

"Presumably, Guo Jiadu and Meng De brother have said that we will work together to fight against Dong Zhuo. After we destroy him, our alliance will be automatically dissolved. We will pretend to be in his plan and lead the army. Fight, paralyzed him, and then we each secretly sent troops to attack Dong Zhuo, so that we can destroy Dong Zhuo at a very small price."

"Good strategy, since Dong Zhuo wants to use a strategy to provoke us to fight, we will pretend to be in the middle, and then build the plank road and cross Chencang secretly."

Liu Rui nodded and said: "Okay, then we will each bring [-] soldiers and horses, agree to duel at Guandu, and announce to the world, so that this rumor can be more real and make Dong Zhuo more convinced and not suspicious."

"Well, then let's sign a covenant."

The two of them signed their names on the covenant, laughed loudly, high-fives each other, and decided the follow-up actions.

After Cao Cao returned to Qingzhou, he ordered his [-] troops to dispatch, posing as if he was going to fight Liu Rui in Guandu, and let his subordinates spread rumors that he was going to fight Liu Rui.

The news spread like wildfire within a few days, and all the princes in the world were shocked.Soon Dong Zhuo also heard the news, thinking that Liu Rui and Cao Cao were really going to fight, and he was very proud. , , .

282: Send troops

Dong Zhuo summoned Jia Xu and said to him: "Wenhe, your strategy is really wonderful, now Liu Rui and Cao Cao are fighting at Guandu, and when the two of them fight, we can take advantage of it and wait until they are knocked out. In the dark and earth, after each loses both sides, we will go to harvest the results."

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Now all the princes in the world are watching the battle between them, as long as they start a fight, the power of both sides will be greatly weakened, and the princes of the world will covet their power. At that time, even if we don't make a move, someone will automatically destroy them for us, and then we will send troops again, and we can easily take back the six state cities controlled by Liu Rui and Cao Cao from the other princes."

"Hahaha!!" Dong Zhuole clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful. It's really a good plan. First, we will provoke two tigers to fight. We will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. We are killing people with knives, and we can easily take back six very important state cities. Wenhe, when Cao Cao and Liu Rui are destroyed by the princes of the world, after I take back the six state cities, I will definitely reward you heavily."

Jia Xu hurriedly bowed to Dong Zhuo and said, "Thank you, my lord!"

On the other hand, Liu Rui also assembled his troops and prepared to set off for Guandu.

Liu Rui summoned the generals to come to the discussion hall, ready to arrange tasks for everyone.

Liu Rui said to the crowd, "You must also know that Cao Cao and I agreed to deal with Dong Zhuo together. On the surface, I pretended to invite soldiers to fight at Guandu. Now I'm going to go to Guandu with [-] soldiers and horses to join Cao Cao. As for the cities of Jizhou and Changshan, I have left a total of [-] soldiers and horses to garrison them separately. Jizhou was captured from Yuan Shao just now, and there is no room for loss, so I think a few generals will be stationed here to prevent Others covet."

After looking around for a week, Liu Rui thought for a while, looked at Li Jing and said, "Li Jing, I ordered you to be the general of Jizhou city guard, responsible for guarding Jizhou, you must defend well to prevent others from attacking."

He looked at Mei Changsu and Zhuge Liang again and said, "Mei Changsu, Kong Ming, both of you will also stay behind to advise General Li Jing and jointly manage the affairs of Jizhou."

The three of them stepped forward together and bowed to Liu Rui: "Yes!"

The next day, Liu Rui set out with an army of [-] men under his command. After a while, he arrived at Guandu. At this time, Cao Cao had already arrived at Guandu.Cao Cao set up camp at Guandu, thinking it had been a few days.

Liu Rui arrived thirty miles away from Cao Cao's barracks, and ordered his men to set up camp on the spot.

That night, Liu Rui put on a pair of black plain clothes, took Xiang Yu, and arrived at a pavilion as agreed.

Cao Cao was drinking tea in the pavilion at this time, and suddenly heard a movement, jumped up and pulled out his long sword from the side. Xiahou Yuan, who was beside him, also pulled out his sword, and carefully walked out of the pavilion with Cao Cao. .

"Brother Meng De, I'm here, why did you come out to welcome me with a sword?" Liu Rui said with a smile, and then walked over.

"Liu Rui?" Cao Cao was slightly surprised and put away his long sword.

Cao Cao said to Liu Rui, "Brother Haosheng, please take a seat. Since you are here, let's discuss the specific steps to be done next."

Liu Rui sat on the side and said to Cao Cao, "Brother Meng De, since both of us have brought our own troops to Guandu, we can pretend to be deadlocked here to numb Dong Zhuo, and when we are ready, use Guandu. As the starting point, they each take their own paths to attack Chang'an, what do you think of my proposal?"

Cao Cao said, "Brother Haosheng's proposal is very good, and I agree with your idea."

Liu Rui said with a smile: "If that's the case, then let's prepare ourselves and secretly march towards Sili. Hey, Brother Meng De, why don't we make a bet?"

"What bet?" Cao Cao asked suspiciously.

Liu Rui continued: "Let's bet on who can attack Sili City first."

Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "Okay! Let's bet on who can attack Sili first with his troops and horses."

Liu Rui stood up and said goodbye to Cao Cao, "Brother Meng De, I've already finished speaking, and I won't bother you any more. I'll leave now, and we'll see you later, Si Li."

Cao Cao also stood up and personally escorted Liu Rui outside the military tent, saying, "Then Brother Haosheng will not send you off. Although it is late at night, it is inconvenient for me to escort you out directly. There are too many eyes watching outside now. Come on, let's be careful."

Liu Rui bowed to Cao Cao and said, "Well, if that's the case, then I'll leave."

After speaking, Liu Rui dodged into the night, and disappeared in an instant.

Cao Cao was taken aback and secretly said, "This Liu Rui's martial arts is already so strong now, after the addition of Dong Zhuo, I have to plan how to deal with him."

Liu Rui came out of Cao Cao's barracks, called out Xiang Yu, who was hiding on the side, and said, "Okay, I've already met Cao Cao, I've told him what I should say, we can go back. Let's go. !"

The two of them each led the black warhorses tied to one side, and both of them turned on their horses and ran towards the direction of their military camp.

Cao Cao and Liu Rui's troops were deadlocked in Guandu for three or four days, but there was no major movement.

Dong Zhuo has been ordering the spies to inquire about the news in Guandu. Hearing the news from the spies in the past few days, he is extremely puzzled.

Dong Zhuo called Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, I sent a spy to Guandu to inquire about Cao Cao and Liu Rui, but the spy came back with a report that they were both stationed at a distance of thirty miles from each other, and they have been deadlocked all the time. After a few days, there is no war, I think it is a bit strange. You said that the two of them did not make troops, what are they doing? "

"This?" Jia Xu said blankly, "I also think it's strange. It stands to reason that since the two of them have agreed to fight in Guandu, and both of them have arrived in Guandu, they should have a fight soon, but they were deadlocked for several days. , they didn't move, it's really strange, I think it's better for us to order the spies to break into their barracks to find out the news, and see what they are trying to do?" , . . .
