"Lord, it seems that we have to focus on Yuan Shao in the future!”
Guo Jia looked at the information in his hand and sighed.
At the moment, Liu Bei was still unsettled.
He did not expect Yuan Shao to have already unified the north.
Gongsun Zan set himself on fire.
At this moment, Yuan Shao no longer had any opponents in the north.
"Gongsun Zan is too weak. He only lasted for such a short time and then failed?”
Cao Cao was actually a little confused.
He did not expect Gongsun Zan to fail so quickly.
In the past, during the 18th Vassal Alliance.
Gongsun Zan was quite fierce.
But now, it shattered with a single touch.
"My lord, the envoy to Xuzhou has returned!”
"Let him in!"
Cao Cao nodded and let them in.
He sent a messenger to Cao Cao to tell him that Liu Bei had not killed Lu Bu.
Cao Cao asked Xun Yu,"What should we do if this plan fails?”
Right now.
This plan had failed.
His original intention was to make Liu Bei and Lu Bu kill each other because of the matter in Xuzhou.
However, what he did not expect was…
Liu Bei's reply to the messenger was not to kill him.
Then wouldn't his plan fail?
Xun Yu said,"I have another plan, which is to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf.”
Since he couldn't drive the wolf and swallow the tiger…
Then he would change his plan.
"What is your plan?" asked Cao Cao.
Xun Yu said,"Send someone secretly to Yuan Shu and tell him that Liu Bei has sent a secret memorial to attack Nanjun.
When Yuan Shu heard this, he would be angry and attack Liu Bei.
Cao Cao then issued an edict to Liu Bei to attack Yuan Shu.
If the two sides unite, Lu Bu will certainly have a different heart: This is a plan to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf."
Cao Cao was very happy and sent someone to Yuan Shu's place first.
Then he borrowed the emperor's edict and sent people to Xuzhou.
Xun Yu first sent a secret letter to Yuan Shu, saying that Liu Bei was coming to attack your territory, causing Yuan Shu's anger.
Then, he gave Liu Bei a clear edict to fight Yuan Shu, and the two families started fighting.
At this time, Xun Yu was sure that Lu Bu would not ignore it and would definitely attack Xuzhou.
In this way, no matter who won or lost, it would be beneficial to Cao Cao.
At the same time, Xun Yu grasped the personalities and mental states of Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and Yuan Shu.
He also used Liu Bei's loyalty to the Han Dynasty, Lu Bu's arrogance, and Yuan Shu's arrogance to mobilize them to attack each other.
The tiger referred to Liu Bei, and the wolf referred to Lu Bu, so that the two families could kill each other.
To put it simply, it was to make the two sides fight each other so that a third party could reap the benefits.
It was similar to the thirty-six stratagems, but it was not the same.
Liu Bei was in Xuzhou. When he heard that the messenger had arrived, he went out of the city to meet him.
Reading the edict, he wanted to attack Yuan Shu.
He was completely stunned.
Liu Bei accepted the order and sent the messenger back.
This was an order from the Emperor, and Liu Bei could not reject it, even if he knew that this was Cao Cao's plan.
"This is another one of Cao Cao's schemes."
"Although it is a plan, the king's orders cannot be disobeyed.”
Liu Bei sighed.
He had no choice. He had to go over and fight. Otherwise, he would be disobeying the king's orders.
He was indeed at a disadvantage.
However, White Night had analyzed it for him before.
He absolutely could not welcome the emperor.
In other words, Liu Bei had to swallow this loss.
So he ordered his troops and horses to set out on a certain day.
"We can first decide on the people guarding the city."
Sun Qian asked before Liu Bei left.
They didn't even know who to send here, so it would be better to send someone to defend the city.
"Who can defend second brother?"
"I am willing to guard this city."
Liu Bei replied,"I will discuss matters with you sooner or later. How can I leave you?”
"I'm willing to guard this city."
Liu Bei said,"You can't defend this city. You are strong after drinking and whip your soldiers. Both of them do things easily and do not listen to others 'advice. I'm worried."
The two of them went to guard.
Liu Bei was worried, so he turned his gaze to Bai Ye.
He wanted White Night to give him an idea.
However, before Bai Ye could say anything, Zhang Fei hurriedly promised,""From now on, I won't drink or hit soldiers. I'll listen to others 'advice.”
In order to get Liu Bei to give him the right to defend the city.
Zhang Fei naturally guaranteed.
"I'm just afraid that my words won't be true."
White Night shook his head.
He did not believe it.
If Zhang Fei's personality didn't change.
It would definitely be a fuse in the future.
This was how Zhang Fei was killed in history.
"I've followed my brother for many years and have never broken my promise. How can you underestimate me!”
"Although you say so, I'm still worried. After returning, he asked Chen Yuanlong to assist him and let him drink less sooner or later so as not to cause trouble.”
Liu Bei still did not believe it.
However, since Zhang Fei had said so, then he would choose Zhang Fei as the city defender.
He would bring Bai Ye and Guan Yu to fight Yuan Shu.
Chen Deng agreed.
Liu Bei handed over the task to Wang Dang, and then led 30,000 cavalry and infantry to leave Xuzhou and march toward Nanyang.
"Military Advisor, Second Brother will drag the two of you this time. As for Xu Prefecture, Third Brother and Wen Hou will go together!”
"En, don't worry, Duke Xuande!"
At the moment, Liu Bei did not want to expose his relationship with Lu Bu.
This was because he knew that Cao Cao and the others did not know that he and Lu Bu had allied together. That was the most fatal thing.
This was also the reason why Liu Bei did not prepare a wedding for White Night and Lu Qiling.
Suppress it for now.
He would announce it later.
"Wen Hou, this is a brocade pouch. If the Third General gets drunk and randomly hits people, you can open this brocade pouch to take a look.”
Bai Ye whispered into Lu Bu's ear before handing him a silk pouch.
He knew that if they left now, there would only be one person in the city who could suppress Zhang Fei.
Naturally, the brocade pouch was given to Lu Bu.
"Yes."
Lu Bu accepted it and nodded his head, feeling a little puzzled.
He didn't expect Bai Ye to give him a brocade bag before he left.
Didn't Zhang Fei promise not to drink and hit people?
Could it be that he could predict the future?
"Advisor Jun, do you really think this will work?”
Liu Bei asked.
He already knew about White Night's plan.
The reason why he asked that question earlier was because he wanted Zhang Fei to take the initiative to give a guarantee so that it would be easier for them to do what they were going to do next.
"No, it's not like you don't know the Third General's personality. It's easier said than done to change him.”
White Night shook his head, indicating that it was impossible.
Don't they know Zhang Fei's personality?
His entire life could be said to have been ruined by drinking.
When Yuan Shu heard of Liu Bei's proposal to annex the prefectures and counties, he was furious and said,"You went to weave mats and shoes, but now you occupy a large county and rank with the princes. I was going to attack you, but you wanted to plot against me. How hateful!"
