"How did you know?"
Cao Cao was extremely shocked. Although he did not show it on the surface, the foresight and foresight that Xu Zhen had revealed had already made him unable to understand.
" Three months ago, my scouts went to Yangzhou to gather information." Xu Zhen stood up and explained sincerely," After hearing that Lu Bu had escaped, he went to Yangzhou to surrender to Yuan Shu. Then, Sun Jian's son, Sun Ce, asked for 5,000 soldiers from Yangzhou. They were all Sun Jian's old subordinates, including four veterans who had fought with Sun Jian.”
"Back to the River East area.”
"From this, I was thinking, how could Sun Ce obtain these soldiers, and how could he gain Yuan Shu's trust?”
Cao Cao's eyes lit up." The Imperial Jade Seal?”
Xun Yu also understood. After thinking for a moment, he figured out many things.
"When the 18th Alliance Army attacked Dong, General Sun Jian was the first person to enter Luoyang. Later, he withdrew from the alliance army and wanted to go down Yangzhou and return to River East.”
"But on the way, he was ambushed by Liu Biao and died from several arrows. This matter itself is strange. He left too decisively and seemed to be fleeing in a hurry.”
Cao Cao nodded," That's right.”
"He must have obtained the Imperial Jade Seal after entering Luoyang first. It has always been kept by his son. Now, he is offering it to Yuan Shu in exchange for his old subordinates.”
"Sun Ce is a powerful figure."
"Do you know that the emperor's edict was sent everywhere, and the only one who expressed his worship was Sun Ce? It's just that he couldn't come over because of the mountains and seas.”
Only now did Cao Cao understand that Sun Jian really had two good sons. It was rare for him to have such foresight.
He had taken five thousand men from his old subordinates and had a loyal army. Compared to a jade seal, this capital was priceless.
Cao Cao suddenly laughed.
Then, he walked down from the main seat with his hands behind his back and patted Xiahou Dun's shoulder. He looked at it again and again as if he was admiring a famous saber.
"Yuan Rang, since you've come, then that's good too.”
"As for Bowen…since you've already predicted it, you should already have a way to defeat the enemy, right?”
Xu Zhen bowed and said," Yes, but we still have to follow the ancient etiquette and issue an edict to summon the vassals to help the king. If the other vassals are willing to respond, we can face the enemy from all directions."”
"The most important edict is for Sun Ce of River East. Although he only has a few thousand soldiers, he can gather tens of thousands of soldiers in the villages to threaten Yuan Shu's southern side.”
"After that is the Left General Liu Bei. He regards the reputation of the Han Dynasty as the most important and calls himself the Imperial Uncle of the Great Han Dynasty.”
"The third is Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao will definitely not accept this edict, but he can use the name of the Son of Heaven to trap him in Jizhou and not dare to attack Xuchang. Once he dares to move, he will be a traitor.”
"In addition, the fourth edict can be sent to Liu Biao. Firstly, we can check the strength of his army. Secondly, we can also use the order of the Liu royal family. He won't send troops, but he can guarantee that he won't move and won't touch our Yanzhou counties.”
Xu Zhen's every word was full of brilliance. He could be said to be chatting and laughing in the hall, making many strategists nod their heads repeatedly. Such a young attitude was full of vigor.
He had considered everything.
All the other vassals in the north and south were included so that they could not attack Yanzhou and endanger Xuchang.
"As for the east of the country, we need Lord Guangluxun and Zhong Yao to go to Anding. The people in the court need Lord Xun to suppress them.”
"As for me, I can follow my lord to battle. In less than a year, I will definitely be able to take down Shouchun and destroy the traitor Yuan Shu.”Xu Zhen opened his arms wide and then placed them behind his back.
Cao Cao could not help but be dumbfounded. His eyes were filled with his younger self.
He is a man of great talent and courage.
Even if the enemy had 400,000 soldiers, they could arrange their formation and kill the enemies.
"Alright, Wen Ruo!"
"Yes."
Xun Yu stood up and bowed.
"Immediately draft an edict and send it to all the vassals. Use the emperor's edict to write a crusade. After the autumn harvest, immediately send out the army. I want to beat Yuan Shu up and help the Great Han Dynasty's reputation.”
"Here!"
Xun Yu immediately bowed deeply.
His expression was one of shock.
To him, the name of the Darkhan Dynasty could not be changed.
He was a true official of the Han Dynasty. Because his family had been receiving the Han Dynasty's salary for generations, he was deeply indebted to the Emperor. Moreover, he did not want to see the last spark of the Great Han Dynasty perish.
When Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor and proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven of the Zhong Family, Xun Yu wanted to persuade Cao Cao to beat him up.
However, he was worried that Cao Cao would hesitate because of the lack of troops and the instability of his territory.
Now, Xu Zhen's words made Cao Cao dispel those thoughts.
Send out the troops and beat up Yuan Shu!
"I'll do it immediately!"
After Xun Yu left, Cao Cao looked at Xu Zhen cheerfully and called him over.
"In this edict, you also called Liu Bei."”
"What are you planning to do?"
Xu Zhen smiled." Liu Bei, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he is benevolent and benevolent. He is currently in Qingzhou to eliminate the rebels and quell the rebellion. However, Yuan Shu has usurped the throne, so he will definitely come.”
"He wouldn't dare not come. Instead of letting him come uninvited, it would be better to issue an imperial edict. At that time, in the name of meeting the emperor, let him come to Xudu.”
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes.
Let him come to Xudu.
These words were a little thought-provoking. What were they doing in Xudu? Take him under his wing? Or control the city?
Interesting.
He really didn't know what Liu Bei would do if he saw Xu Zhen.
……
Qingzhou.
In a war-torn land, under the dim sky, Liu Bei's camp was stationed near a water source outside the South Sea.
At this moment, he had already killed six thousand rebel soldiers.
After arriving at Qingzhou, he explained his intentions and was immediately received by the local prefect, Kong Rong. It was not easy for him to garrison outside the city and receive some money and food support.
From then on, he would gain a firm foothold and make contributions.
Gather the troops.
The past few months had not been so smooth.
It was even a little…bitter.
In the end, he was able to stand firm here with a small amount of damage. He could wait for the autumn harvest to discuss the matter of eliminating the thieves with Governor Kong Rong.
Perhaps he could take it all for himself and wait until next year, he could gradually grow stronger.
"Sigh, it's not easy…"
Liu Bei stopped and looked into the distance. He saw a fast horse and a guard of honor following behind it.
What?
Emissary of the Emperor?
His heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that there was something wrong again?
