Cao Cao was numb.
Are you kidding me?
Using Cao Cao's troops as stepping stones to make Liu Bei famous?
Even though he knew that Chen Mu had served his own master, Cao Cao still felt uneasy when he thought about it!
Chen Mu's tone.
He was certain that Cao Cao would lose!
Naturally, he would not be convinced!
"Jing Lue, what arrangements have you made in Dong Hai County?”
"Why are you so sure that you can defeat me?"
"Actually, there's not much to set up. It's just a little bit," Chen Mu said with a smile.”
"If Liu Bei hadn't betrayed me, the Old Great Grandfather would have been killed by Zhang Kai!”
"With Ming Gong's personality, he will definitely take revenge and wash Xu Prefecture with blood.”
"Tao Qian is old friends with Gongsun Zan, so he will definitely ask Gongsun Zan for help. Tian Kai, Mu of Qingzhou, will take the opportunity to go south to Xuzhou.”
"And Liu Bei is now under Gongsun Zan's command, so he can also take the opportunity to go south.”
"To the west of Dong Hai County, there is Qu County. It is the base of the wealthy Dong Hai Mei Clan.”
"In my plan, Liu Bei would bring his people to the East Sea to increase the population of Xu Prefecture and to anger Ming Gong.”
"When Ming Gong hears of this, he will definitely attack Qu County.”
"And outside Qu County, there is a Qu Mountain. It is a good place to use troops. As long as the timing is right, a fire can burn down Ming Gong's vanguard army.”
"When Ming Gong is going east to attack Tao Qian, Yanzhou will definitely be in chaos. At that time, Liu Bei will send a letter to persuade Ming Gong to retreat.”
"In this way, with the battle results and reputation, I won't have to worry about Tao Qian not taking the initiative to give up his position as Xu Prefecture Overseer!”
Chen Mu explained the entire plan slowly, causing Cao Cao's scalp to go numb.
Good fellow!
One step after another, he was really using Cao Cao as a stepping stone to help Liu Bei build his foundation!
Fortunately, Liu Bei was not bold enough and betrayed Chen Mu.
Otherwise, if my Eastern Expedition to Xuzhou fails, there will be chaos in Yanzhou and there will be no one to return to!
Cao Cao broke out in cold sweat!
"But now that Jing Lue is under my command, how can Liu Bei execute such a meticulous plan?”Cao Cao secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Chen Mu chuckled." Although Liu Bei did not have my plan, he still knows the entire plan. We have to be on guard."”
"Ming Gong's battle is not in Xu Prefecture, but in Yanzhou. If something happens to Xu Prefecture, it will definitely affect Yanzhou's plans.”
"Let Liu Bei do whatever he wants in Xu Prefecture. As long as Ming Gong moves away all the people in the cities, leaving behind empty cities, Liu Bei will only be able to look at the ocean and sigh!”
"Fish can swim in the sea, birds can fly in the sky, but as long as you are a fish in a net or a bird in a cage, you will be bound by Ming Gong!”
Cao Cao laughed loudly, and the depression in his heart was swept away.
"Jing Lue coming to Yanzhou, the heavens are really helping me!”
"When we capture Liu Bei in the future, we will definitely avenge Jing Lue!”
....
The first year of Xingping, summer.
In the name of Tao Qian robbing and killing Cao Song, Cao Cao led his troops to attack Xuzhou again and captured five cities in an instant.
The soldiers and civilians in the city, regardless of their status, were forced to move to Yanzhou.
Just like when Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and forced the soldiers and civilians of Luoyang to move into Chang 'an.
The discipline of the Qing Zhou army was poor, so it was inevitable that there would be trouble during the migration.
All of a sudden, the people were filled with resentment.
Among them, the opposition and curses of the scholars and people were even more intense. Some even directly scolded Cao Cao as Dong Zhuo!
Tao Qian sent Cao Bao to fight, but it was difficult to win.
Helpless, Tao Qian sent two messengers.
He went all the way to Shouchun to ask Yuan Shu for help, and went all the way to Qingzhou to ask for help from Qingzhou Mu Tian Kai and Beihai Prefecture Governor Kong Rong.
.....
Pingyuan County.
When Liu Bei heard that Tao Qian's envoy had arrived at Beihai County, he was overjoyed.
"Finally, I don't have to stay in Pingyuan County and suffer!”
After betraying Chen Mu, Liu Bei's days in Pingyuan County were not easy.
Because of Chen Yao's death, although Chen Jin from the Pingyuan clan had temporarily cooperated with Liu Bei, he had also recommended Liu Bei to the North Sea to participate in Kong Rong and Zheng Xuan's Celebrity Conference, giving Liu Bei a chance to show his face in front of the celebrities.
But at the same time, Liu Bei paid a huge price.
Pingyuan County had almost become Chen Jin's private property.
Any of Liu Bei's orders had to be approved by Chen Jin!
Chen Mu's clean government that he had built for Liu Bei had once again fallen into disarray.
In short.
Liu Bei could not stay in Pingyuan County any longer!
Liu Bei had been waiting for Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou.
When he heard that Zhang Kai had failed to kill Cao Song, Liu Bei was still unhappy because of this. He thought that Cao Cao would not attack Xuzhou in the near future.
But now.
The good news had appeared once again, and it made Liu Bei extremely happy!
"Report!"
"Minister, there is a person outside the city who calls himself Taishi Ci. He said that he was invited by the Governor of Beihai, Kong Rong, to ask Minister to gather troops in Beihai to save Xuzhou!”
When Liu Bei heard that it was Taishi Ci, he clapped his hands and laughed.
"Chen Mu once said that Taishi Ci is skilled in archery and riding horses. He is a rare general and must be treated well!”
His subconscious words made Liu Bei's face stiffen.
Liu Bei could not help but feel a little regretful when he thought of Chen Mu who had been betrayed and his current situation.
"If I had known that Chen Jin would be so aggressive, I wouldn't have agreed to Chen Jin's conditions and forced Chen Mu to leave.”
But very quickly.
Liu Bei pulled himself together and rejected this regret.
"Although I'm the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan and the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Han Jing, my family has fallen and I'm poor. It took me ten years to get the power I have today.”
"Without the help of the people, how can I realize my ambition to help the Han Dynasty?”
"How can you cut off all ties with famous officials just because of Chen Mu?”
"Now that I'm acquainted with Kong Rong and Zheng Xuan, it's not bad!”
"I, am not wrong!"
