494 Liu Bei's Green Hat 2
Cheng Yu was very worried after hearing this. Once Lu Bu gained a foothold in Xuzhou, his strength cannot be ignored. If it takes a long time, will we still be so easy to take it down? "Lord, although Gongda's words are reasonable, I am still worried. Although Lu Bu is not afraid of Lu Bu, Chen Gong, his subordinates are masters and have great wisdom. As long as Lu Bu listens to his words and Xuzhou's wealth, it won't take long. Lu Bu's strength will reach a higher level. If we send troops again, we will probably be subject to great resistance and endure great difficulties. If we attack Xuzhou at this time, our army will have a great chance of victory. After all, Lu Bu has been in Xuzhou for a short time and his occupation will not be greatly enhanced."
After hearing the two of them, Cao Cao was happy and had nothing to do. He said in a heavy tone: "Yes, what Gongda and Zhongde said make sense. I have thought about these situations seriously and I can't make up my mind. This is why everyone can speak freely and come up with a solution to the problem."
Xiahou Dun felt depressed after hearing this. Such a simple question, why do these literati have so many concerns? Isn’t it just a fight? What are you afraid of? "Lord, since Gongda and Zhongde are right, then our army will send troops on both sides and attack Xuzhou and Wancheng at the same time. Isn’t this solve the problem!"
After hearing this, Liu Fu shook his head and said helplessly: "General Yuan Rang, what you said is too easy. If you don't take charge of the company, you don't know that oil, salt, firewood and rice are expensive. We have so many grains and grass for the second army to fight? Even if we supply the whole army to fight, we still have to consider ending the war as soon as possible, otherwise our army's food and grass will not be able to support it."
Dong Zhao didn't cause troops to be sent. How to fight in this kind of weather? He said with great concern: "Lord, it's already the twelfth month of the winter. The weather is very cold and it will snow at any time. How can I send troops? I still recommend that it's not too late to send troops after the beginning of spring. By then, we have certain food and grass support. Even if we can't defeat the city of Xuzhou for a while, we will not give up halfway."
After hearing this, Cao Cao shook his head. If he could wait until the beginning of spring, why don’t I scream out you all from the hot bed. “It’s certain that we will send troops, but how do we send? How many soldiers are we going to send? Who is the target of the attack? If we send troops next year, the heavy rain will pass. What’s the point? The fighter planes are fleeting in an instant, we can’t miss it.”
After Cao Cao said, everyone had to consider the gains and losses, and they were all thinking about the pros and cons. For a moment, they were silent. Xun Yu looked up at Lao Cao, then looked at everyone, and then said slowly: "Lord, I think since we must not lose both Wancheng and Xuzhou, we all want to take them back into our pockets, then we will take them all. Just as General Yuan Rang said, our army can send troops on two sides."
After hearing Xun Wenruo's words, Xiahou Dun immediately burst into laughter. After all, Xun Yu is the most powerful talent under Lao Cao. His words are basically what Lao Cao wants to say. Lao Cao attaches great importance to Xun Yu's words. "I'll just say it, just send troops on two sides. He doesn't have so many worries, but I'm right."
After hearing this, Liu Fu was very angry and asked unanimously: "Wenruo, what are you using to support the expenditure of the second army? Don't you know how much food and grass we have in our hands now? Or you are more capable and capable of sprinkling beans into gold."
After hearing this, Cao Cao smiled and was very happy. Wen Ruo must have had some words before he finished speaking and had a way to solve the problem. Otherwise, how could he say such a low-minded word? "Wen Ruo, don't give me any advice. If you have any plan, tell everyone. You can't hide it and hold it."
After hearing this, Xun Yu smiled slightly. His boss was so powerful. The screams of guessing people were unparalleled. It was impossible to hide anything. "Lord, what I mean is to send troops to the second place. Of course, the main attack direction is Xuzhou. We have to find a way to take it down in one fell swoop, and we cannot take too long. The war must be fought quickly. As for the troops in Wancheng direction? That is to play a role in restraining it. After our army takes Xuzhou, we will raise the army to attack Wancheng. In this way, when Lu Ning sees our army take Wancheng first, he will never come to fight with our army again. This is not the style of Lu Ning. As long as I send troops to attack Wancheng, Lu Ning will definitely not take action at the moment. Of course, if our army cannot defeat Wancheng, then Lu Ning will definitely send all the troops to Wancheng. After all, that is also a very attractive place, and Lu Ning also wants to get it in his pocket."
When Cao Cao heard this, he was very happy and immediately slapped his hand and said loudly: "Okay! Just do what Wen Ruo said."
The matter of sending troops was finally settled. Cheng Yu hesitated for a long time, looked up at Lao Cao, and asked cautiously when he saw that he was extremely excited: "Lord, the information says that Liu Bei's three brothers led several defeated generals to Xuchang. What do you think of Liu Bei? Liu Bei is a hero of the world and has no way out to come to join him now. This is not his sincerity and original intention."
Cao Cao was also stunned after hearing this. Yes, Liu Bei is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so why did he stay under someone else's house for a long time? "What are you all the ideas? Should we take in the three brothers Liu Bei?"
Before Lao Cao finished his words, the chief military advisor Xun You immediately spoke out: "Lord, Liu Bei cannot stay. This person is too ambitious and will not be willing to live under others for a long time. Once he has the chance, this person will definitely leave without hesitation, and even cause great trouble to the lord. Once Liu Bei has room for development and conditions, he will definitely rush and cause great trouble to us in the future. I suggest that he behead him after he comes to prevent future troubles."
Xu You was very unfair after hearing this, and never took Liu Bei seriously. He was just a declining royal family. What a big deal. "Lord, Liu Bei is not afraid of it. He is just a peddler and a pig. It doesn't matter whether he stays or not."
After hearing this, Cao Cao said very seriously: "Liu Bei is indeed not a simple person. He is very ambitious, especially his two brothers, who are brave and very popular. If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can be taken back to the tent, it would be a very pleasant thing."
Cheng Yu said not seriously: "Lord, although Liu Bei has no ability and his IQ is not high, he is very capable and has a lot of talent to win over. The lord should pay attention. In addition, his two brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are difficult to subdue. The relationship between the three brothers is particularly good. It is said that the three brothers often eat, live and prostitutes together. Liu Bei's feelings for the two brothers are hundreds of times better than his wife. Liu Bei once said that brothers are like brothers and feet, and the wife is like clothes; if the clothes are torn, they can be replaced at any time, but if the broken hands and feet are really impossible to make up for. It can be seen that Liu Bei attaches great importance to the two righteous brothers. I suggest that since we cannot get things, there is no need to leave them for others. After the three brothers of Liu Bei arrives, they will still be secretly executed, so as not to leave any future troubles."
After hearing this, Dong Zhao shook his head and immediately opposed it: "My lord, don't kill Liu Bei, no matter whether he has talent or ambition, since his three brothers have no way out to join him, how can he kill him? Who would be willing to join him again in the future? The lord is now recruiting people with virtuous and talented people. Once Liu Bei is killed, it will have a great impact on his lord. This is not good for his lord's hegemony. Please think twice."
Xun You immediately opposed: "My lord, when there is no end to failure, there will be future troubles. I still recommend not to keep Liu Bei. If this person is left behind, it will inevitably cause great trouble to the lord in the future. Liu Bei is still different from Lu Ning. Lu Ning is very credible throughout his life, and he will do everything clearly. But Liu Bei is a despicable person. He can abandon his wife and children for his own benefit. So what else can he not abandon? Gongsun Zan was kind to him and took him in when he had nowhere to go, but in the end he was not just about running for his own life. He would not really work hard for that person or leave such a person. Besides, Liu Bei is not a good person. There is a little emperor here. Maybe he will take advantage of the lord's not paying attention to it, and it is hard to say anything he can do to his lord."
Cao Ren looked up at Lao Cao, and saw that there was no response, and he looked mysterious. "Lord, I have no objection to kill Liu Bei until I kill him, but can I keep Guan Yu and Zhang Fei? As long as Liu Bei dies, I will find a way to recruit these two people under my tent. These are two rare generals in the world. It is really awesome to use for charge."
After hearing this, Cao Cao smiled and said, "Zixiao, it's so easy. Once we kill Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will be difficult to subdue him. Unless it is possible to execute Liu Bei first by borrowing someone else's hand, and then we subdue him, otherwise it won't work."
Xiahou Yuan sighed and said with regret: "What a pity, killing such a good general is really heartbreaking."
Xun Yu laughed, looked at Lao Cao after laughing, and then said, "Lord, since there are so many adverse factors in listening or not killing, then we will imprison Liu Bei first and restrict his movements. Send soldiers to guard during the day and night, and prevent him from leaving Xuchang. So that no one will say anything. Even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the lord can temporarily borrow it from Liu Bei to attack the city and seize the village. As long as they are not allowed to be the commander, they will not lead the troops alone to fight. Can they still jump up? If they leave Liu Bei, they will not be able to make any name."
Three days later, Liu Bei and his three brothers arrived in Xuchang. Cao Cao received them at the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as Liu Bei saw Cao Cao, he immediately saluted and said, "Sir, I, Liu Bei, have no place to stay now. I hope the Prime Minister will take it in."
Cao Cao, the treacherous hero, looked at Liu Bei's false benevolence and righteous actions, and did not chew. He looked up at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who were standing behind Liu Bei. He liked it very much. This was a peerless fierce attacker. It would be great if he could receive the role under the account. "We are old acquaintances, so why not be so polite. Since you come to join me, why wouldn't you take you in? I am very happy in my heart. I have long hoped that you will help me."
After hearing this, Liu Bei felt relieved, and someone had helped his party with his meal problems. Liu Bei immediately saluted Cao Cao again, and after the ceremony, he said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for taking in it."
Cao Cao burst into laughter and said generously: "Don't worry, I will not treat you badly. Tonight I will hold a banquet for you and your party."
That night, Cao Cao really held a grand banquet for Liu Bei. Liu Bei, who was unwilling to be lonely during the meal, was immediately versatile and made friends with civil and military officials under Cao Cao. If Cao Cao was not here, he would probably have to instigate those famous scholars and generals immediately. Cao Cao saw it and didn't say much, and he felt hatred in his heart, and he immediately wanted to execute him.
Just as the banquet was in full swing, Cao Cao's personal guard came in and reported: "Lord, Lu Bu from Xuzhou sent someone to send a gift to Liu Xiande. Will he carry it in?"
Cao Cao didn't say anything after hearing this. Since it was given to Liu Bei, of course he couldn't make the decision, but he didn't know what gift Lu Bu would give to this big ear. Old Cao looked at Liu Bei with his eyes and asked for his opinion.
After hearing Cao Cao's personal guards, Liu Bei saw Lao Cao's eyes again. Of course he knew what it meant. If he didn't take out the gift on the spot for everyone to see, Lao Cao would definitely doubt his purpose in Xuchang. Besides, how could Lu Bu's three-sidual slaves give him any good gifts, and he really wanted to know. "Prime Minister, since Lu Bu's three-sidual slaves are going to do small things, let the guards carry in and let everyone see what's wrong!"
When Lao Cao heard this, he immediately said, "Bring Liu Xiande's gift in."
The guard carried the gift in and placed it in the middle of the hall. Liu Bei got up and opened it himself, wanting everyone to see what kind of bird thing it was. Since everyone is curious, why don’t I hide it and hold it? Since I am here now, I will rely on your Lao Cao to give you food in the future. Can I hide it?
Liu Bei stepped forward and opened the gift. Everyone looked up and said, "Ah", a cuckold.
Cao Cao burst into laughter, and his civil and military officials also smiled and looked at Liu Bei together, his eyes very unsatisfied. This made Liu Bei feel ashamed. If there was a hole, he would definitely go in immediately.
Liu Bei could not have thought that Lu Bu would do such an insulting thing, and his face was very blushing and embarrassed. He had to stand up and say goodbye to Cao Cao in a hurry, leave immediately, and avoid everyone's eyes as soon as possible. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's two brothers also quickly got up and left with their elder brother. Their face was also very ugly. The elder brother was humiliated as if he was insulted.
After Liu Bei and the three brothers left, the huge laughter came from behind.
