An urgent report resounded throughout the mansion.
"Report!"
Cao Cao was discussing with Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, and the others about how some of the poor people could not survive the winter.
"What's the matter?" he asked.”
"Reporting: Prime Minister, Liu Xuan has occupied Jiaozhou.”
"What?"
"Report: It is said that Shi Xie fled to the seaside and found that the warship was burned. He was very angry and questioned Liu Xuan, but he was harmed by Liu Xuan.”
Hearing this, Cao Cao was shocked.
He was shocked by Liu Xuan's tyrannical methods.
However, Shi Xie was still an official of the imperial court.
Shi Xie was innocently killed, how could he sit back and watch?
Furthermore, Liu Xuan's actions clearly showed that he did not place him in his eyes.
Beside Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, and the other strategists seemed to have thought of something.
"Prime Minister," they reported to Cao Cao,"this matter cannot be rushed.”
Cao Cao was stunned and immediately asked,""Don't be impatient? Do you know that if Liu Xuan worked harder, could he attack Ye City?”
After all, during his battle with Yuan Shao at Cangting, Liu Xuan had taken advantage of the situation and invaded Yuzhou.
If he continued to sit idly by, would Liu Xuan attack Ye City?
This was something that Cao Cao could not tolerate.
Guo Jia and Cheng Yu looked embarrassed. They were trying to persuade Cao Cao because of him.
Therefore, the strategists looked at each other.
Among them, Xun Yu cupped his fists and said,"Prime Minister, you can send someone to Jingzhou to find out Liu Xuan's every move."”
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and nodded." In that case, we can send scouts to Jingzhou to gather intelligence."”
Before the voice died down.
An urgent report sounded again.
"Is Liu Xuan here?" Cao Cao asked.”
He was completely depressed.
Such heaven-defying was truly rare.
Seeing this, Guo Jia and the others hurriedly reported,"Prime Minister, Liu Guan and Zhang brothers have sworn an oath of loyalty in the Peach Garden. Now that Zhang Fei had been killed, Liu Bei and Guan Yu would definitely be very angry. One could imagine that Liu Bei would definitely make a comeback.”
"Little brat Liu Bei, how hateful."
Thinking of Liu Bei, Cao Cao's heart was filled with hatred.
Xun Yu smiled and said," Prime Minister, it must be Liu Zhang of Yizhou who is responsible for Liu Guan Zhang's gathering of the army. You can send someone to Jingzhou to inform Liu Xuan that there will be a battle in Yizhou." At that time, the Prime Minister could assist in the name of Jing Zhou and take down Jing Zhou first, cutting off Liu Xuan's escape route.”
"Once Liu Xuan is defeated, won't Yizhou fall into the hands of the Prime Minister? This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone."
After hearing this, Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said happily,""You're right. Since that's the case, this prime minister will send someone to inform Liu Xuan and see how he does.”
"Prime minister, on the other hand, you can also tell Yizhou that Liu Xuan knows that you sent troops to attack Jingzhou.”
"Good, good. Everyone's words have caused me to see the sun.”
That day, Cao Cao sent people to Jingzhou and Yizhou.
……
Youzhou, the capital.
In the past few days, he had been lying on his bed, feeling uneasy.
At this moment, the strategist Shen Pei came over quickly and said in a low voice,""My lord, Liu Xuan of Jingzhou killed Shixie and occupied Jiaozhou.”
As soon as he said this, Yuan Shao raised his head to look at Shen Pei and asked,""Sir, do you have any good ideas?"
"My lord, Cao Cao is currently in Ye City of Jizhou, looking down on Youzhou like a tiger. Why don't you send someone to Jingzhou and ally with Liu Xuan? At that time, you can attack Cao Cao from both sides.”
"That Liu Xuan occupied Yuzhou, and Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to confer Liu Biao the title of Jingzhou Overseer. Now, if we ask him to attack Cao Cao, how could he agree?”
Yuan Shao hesitated and could not help but sigh.
He was so indecisive that he was defeated today.
"The cold weather is indeed not conducive to sending troops. After the battle at Cang Ting, my vitality was greatly damaged. Now, if we can ally with the Outsiders in the north, perhaps we can turn the situation around.”
"My lord!"
Shen Pei kowtowed.
"The northern Outsiders are clearly ambitious. Once they form an alliance, it will be very disadvantageous.”
"However, that's better than letting Cao Cao take Youzhou!”
Yuan Shao looked at Shen Pei.
Shen Pei sighed in his heart. He knew that no matter what, he would not be able to persuade Yuan Shao.
Immediately, Shen Pei cupped his fists and turned to leave.
"Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, I, Yuan Shao, will definitely tear you into pieces."”
His heart was filled with hatred.
The current Yuan Shao had a face full of hatred.
He coughed a few times and spat out blood.
Yuan Shao knew that the current him did not have much time left.
However, even if he had to die, he had to get rid of Cao Cao.
