The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 379 Liu Bei's Ambition

Inside the coalition camp,
At three poles in the sun, Cao Cao and Liu Bei led their generals and walked towards the handsome tent. They heard that Yuan Shangna forced the boy to take people out early in the morning.

Outside the handsome tent, the two looked at each other, Liu Bei restrained, clasped his fists and said with a light smile, "Brother Meng De is here to discuss something?"

"Hehe, since Yuan Shang isn't here, there's no need for Xuande to be so cautious, right?" Cao Cao laughed with treachery in his eyes.

"Xuande, you are also a smart person. Yuan Shang seems to be making trouble for Zhang Xiu in this battle, but he is actually demonstrating against you and me." Cao Cao sighed.

"You took Luoyang, Hanoi, Hedong and other places, which are of great strategic significance, while I deployed Qingzhou, occupying the land west of Mount Tai,
Only Yuan Shang, occupied by the dilapidated Yanyu, plus you and I took over the host, without the majesty of the leader, naturally he was unwilling to protest, but Zhang Xiu is definitely not a good opponent, so I don't know the two..."

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei and said with a smile.

Liu Bei just wanted to make a fortune in silence, so he cupped his fists and chuckled lightly: "Meng De has said that, I am a member of the allied army, and I will never take any actions to overwhelm the leader, and I will definitely support the leader Yuan!"

"It's Meng De, you, it's time to restrain yourself."

Cao Cao: "???"

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched, he was an upright villain, but this Liu Bei was secretly acting like a hypocrite, what he said was watertight.

Still strongly support Yuan Shang?
After winning Wenpin, you have been so obsessed with annexing land, you say you support it?
Support your mother's egg!
"Xuande, in terms of being shameless, I can't match it!" Cao Cao shook his head and sneered, but he still remembered that Liu Bei had cheated tens of thousands of soldiers by relying on his own men.

"What Bei said is from the heart, why are you so shameless to say it? It is my duty to support the orders of President Yuan, not to mention that President Yuan is not here, even if he dies in battle, I will respect his will, absolutely nothing False."

Liu Bei clasped his fists and said sonorously to the blue sky and the white sun.

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard this, Zhang Fei raised his chin proudly, while Guan Yu stroked his beard and pretended to be a thief. Listen, my elder brother is so correct.

Look at you again, thinking about someone else's two acres of land all the time, he, tui, look down on you!
But at this moment, one, no, it should be two sentry cavalry galloping on horseback, the sentry cavalry sent by Liu Bei and Cao Cao respectively.

At this time, almost rolling and crawling, fell off the horse, helped the helmet, and said anxiously: "My lord, my lord, it's a disaster, it's a disaster."

"Hurry up, what's the point? If I'm as reckless as you are, I, Cao Mengde, will no longer exist in the world." Cao Cao couldn't help shaking his sleeves and yelling, pretending to be aggressive in Liu Bei's face.

"My lord, lord, Yuan, President Yuan, he... bang... exploded, his brains exploded all over the floor." The scout swallowed, smoothed his thoughts, and demonstrated while speaking.

"???"

"What's the matter?"

"Yuan Shang exploded?"

"You said Yuan Shang exploded?"

Cao Cao was dumbfounded, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his voice suddenly intensified. It was shocking and profound at the same time, and he didn't have the calmness just now, because this is not a trivial matter.

"Tell me exactly what's going on. No matter how strong Zhang Xiu is, Yuan Shang can still run away if he wants to! How could there be an explosion for no reason?" Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"Subordinates, subordinates don't know, anyway, suddenly, President Yuan was more than [-] meters away from Guangping, and then the bomb was blown up, oh yes, it was blown up first.

Then bang, leader Yuan followed suit, and the thousands of cavalry he brought were in a mess, and most of them were taken to join Zhang Xiu. It was said that Zhang Xiu asked the gods to kill leader Yuan! "

Speaking of this, the scout paused for a moment, feeling terrified, it was beyond words, it was simply too terrifying.I'm afraid it really is as rumored, it's God's punishment!

"God punish? Don't start rumors!"

"Oh, by the way, you mean Tadun died too?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, revealing a deep look.

And next to him, Liu Bei also had a pensive expression, and even looked at Guan Yu. The two had the same idea. Obviously, Liu Bei wanted to take the opportunity to make things bigger.

As for the support you just mentioned, it's just a joke!Now that Yuan Shang is dead, the 10,000+ cavalry under his command, as well as the three states of Hebei, are all delicious.

Moreover, Tadun also died.

Wuhuan lost its leader, and the tens of thousands of Wuhuan iron cavalry would be ownerless. This is an extremely powerful combat force. If it can be annexed in one fell swoop, it may not be difficult to gain a foothold in Guanzhong.

"Brother Meng De, I still have military affairs in the lower camp, so I'll leave first." Liu Bei clasped his fists, and couldn't bear to annex him in his heart, but he couldn't be blatant.

"Heh, Xuande, can you still act like this in front of your brother?" Cao Cao said bluntly, but then said solemnly: "But right now you and I can't mess with ourselves."

Liu Bei paused, not in the slightest embarrassment of being exposed. He really wanted to annex Yuan Shang's trilogy, but right now he wanted to hear Cao Cao's plan.

"Xuande, Yuan Shang is dead. If there are no accidents, the coalition forces will be disbanded within half a month at most. Even you and I, it is impossible to stop this defeat."

"As for swallowing Yuan Shang's 20-step cavalry, even if you and I have the ability, we are far worse than the two of us, so we can't support them at all, can we?"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked up at Liu Bei.

20 cavalry required horrific military rations. It was absolutely impossible for them to support these 20 cavalry in a dilapidated Guanzhong and a corner of Qingzhou.

"Why did Meng De say that? I never thought of annexing the infantry under President Yuan's command. I just thought that now that President Yuan died in battle, I should send someone to stabilize the morale of the army."

Liu Bei said in a gentle voice without showing any signs of expression.

"Hehe, Xuande, Xuande, if there is no Zhang Xiu in this world, you will be the enemy of Cao Mengde for life." Cao Cao shook his head and said with emotion.

This man is too wretched!

"But at the moment, the news of Yuan Shang's death in battle must not be leaked, otherwise the three armies will inevitably disperse. In this way, Xuande, you immediately lead people to stop outside the camp, and kill any defeated soldiers!"

Cao Cao said coldly with serious killing intent.

Liu Bei frowned slightly, and looked at Cao Cao strangely, he is not stupid, but this Cao Cao is really ruthless, he wants to kill all these people!
"Xuande, those who make big things don't care about small things, the only way to stabilize the barracks right now, and I will lead someone disguised as Yuan Shang to return to the camp, so as to stabilize the morale of the army and let Hebei continue to supply food."

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei and said in a low voice.

"Meng De, paper can't contain fire. Yuan Shang's death in battle will be made public sooner or later. Instead of this, it's better to make preparations early." Liu Bei replied with a frown.
"Prepare early? Hehe, hehehe."

"Liu Xuande, Liu Xuande, should I say you are naive or stupid? If you have faced Zhang Xiu before, you would never say such absurd words."

"Do you really think me, Liu Biao, Sun Ce, Yuan Shao, and other princes are all stupid? He has only been doing embroidery for a few years, but he swept the world, dare to be the first?"

"He dared to massacre the nobles, suppress all the officials, destroy the foundation, dare to elect the people, dare to offend the people of the world, is he really stupid? Wrong, big mistake, it is because of his ability!"

"Don't say that Yuan Shang is dead now, even if he doesn't die, our chances of winning this battle are less than [-]% when Zhang Xiu returns." Cao Cao stared and said all the thoughts in his heart.

Liu Bei's face was cloudy and uncertain.

On the other hand, Zhang Fei yelled, "You Cao Cao, what are you doing with other people's ambition? You are afraid of him, but I, Zhang Fei, am not afraid of him."

"Even if Zhang Xiu has three heads and six arms? I, Zhang Fei, will poke him through a hundred thousand transparent holes!"

"Afraid? Hehe, hahahaha!" Instead, he turned around, turned his back to Liu Bei, and shouted cheerfully, "I, Cao Cao, am a hero by myself, but I can judge the heroes of the present and the past."

"But every time I face Zhang Xiu, it's like facing a heaven and a man, like fighting against the sky. If you don't understand the feeling of powerlessness, you won't be able to defeat it at all!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao shook his head and smiled, looked at the sky and said deeply: "The one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Maybe the gentry in the world should be purged."

In his pupils, he seemed to see his young self. At that time, he was full of vigor, young and weak, and because he couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, he made a special five-color stick, declared the prohibition, and was strict with the law!

At that time, why was he afraid of power?The uncle of the ten permanent servants will be killed for breaking the law and discipline!It made Luoyang dignitaries terrified, and countless high-ranking officials and dignitaries terrified.

But he still failed to stop the power!

Was promoted secretly and transferred away from the Eastern Capital!

Xu Shao once commented on him as a minister who can rule the world, and a hero in troubled times!It's just that Cao Cao was full of enthusiasm from the beginning, and then he was resolutely disappointed, and became a hero in this troubled time.

Liu Bei's pupils shrank, that invincible hero actually showed fatigue in front of him?Or helpless?Cao Cao, who showed his sharpness, has lost the aura of dominance?
"What do you mean!" Liu Bei asked.

"This world, maybe it should be given to the Ming Lord. This battle may be the last battle between me and him. I think Zhang Xiu should be more suitable to rule the world than us!"

Cao Cao's expression became indifferent, and he said calmly.

"Nonsense, nonsense, this world belongs to the big man, and my Liu family's foundation. How can Liu's 400-year-old foundation belong to him?" Liu Bei was rarely restrained, but violent.

"What's more, how do you know that Zhang Xiu is in charge better than you and me? I ask myself that I love the people like my son. The people are in my hands, and they will never suffer hardships!" Liu Bei questioned again.

"Love the people like a child? Hehe, hehehehe, can you let the common people eat rice like Zhang Xiu? Wearing new clothes every time? You can even stand out from the generals and become famous?"

"You can't, and neither can I!"

"In a world of great rule, the people can still live, but in a world of war, the people are as cheap as ants!"

"Xing: the people suffer! Ruo perish: the people suffer even more!"

"I call him a celestial man, do you think he beat me? No, it's because he beat me several times, but because he did a lot of things that I wanted to do but didn't dare to do."

"When I rose up in Yanzhou, I was constrained by aristocratic families everywhere. I was cautious when I used poor families, let alone the common people. I punished a famous family, and my entire Yanzhou was almost overthrown!"

"Forming cliques for private interests, oppressing the people, and protecting each other from officials and officials. Although I am a family, what is the use of such a family? There have been jokes in the world, a dynasty of flowing water, a family of iron!"

"Looking at it now, why keep this kind of cancer?" Cao Cao's voice was cold, it was disgust for the family, and even he hated himself.

In the past, he wanted to change these things, but later he also became one of these people, and even worsened, being dubbed a butcher by the world, destroying humanity.

But after getting in touch with Zhang Xiu, the immature Cao Mengde, who was full of enthusiasm, made five-color sticks, punished rape and eliminated evil, came back again!

Listening to Cao Cao's words, Liu Bei fell into deep thought, but his introverted expression showed the city. Even if Cao Cao was right, this world is also Liu's world.

Even if he governs the world, it is he Liu Bei who governs.

Others - not qualified!

Even if Cao Cao loses his sharpness and fighting spirit, he will still fight Zhang Xiu. He is a great man, and he will never allow others to get involved.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei pondered, now he has to plan in advance, and he must not catch it without a fight!He has the danger of four passes, and the granary in Hanzhong, and he holds Luoyang in his hand.

Thinking of this, he clasped his fists together: "Meng De, leader Yuan died in battle. Next, the coalition forces are bound to fall apart, but if you lose like this, you will not be willing, and so will I."

"In this case, I will send the Xiliang iron cavalry to remove all the routs. No matter what, we must keep this news first to prevent the three armies from being routed."

Cao Cao nodded. This is the last battle. He knows whether to win or lose. To him, it is meaningless.

Liu Bei turned around and left, but after walking dozens of steps, Liu Bei narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Second brother and third brother, the coalition army is not far from defeat, we must prepare early!"

"In this way, second brother, you will bring [-] cavalry and [-] infantry to Luoyang first, and guard Hulao Pass. If time is urgent, send troops to Wei County!"

"Send troops to Wei Commandery?" Guan Yu Danfeng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Brother, do you want to take advantage of the fact that the news has not been sent back, and take the first step to occupy Jizhou, Yuan's old nest?"

"Well! Now that the news is blocked, it will not be sent back to Jizhou in a short time, and Yuan Shang died in battle, and Yuan Shao was seriously ill in bed. They can pretend to be grain transporters and send troops from Hanoi to take Yecheng in one fell swoop!"

"It is only meaningful to defend Luoyang if we take down the granary in Hebei. At that time, with the danger of the tiger prison, the capital of Luoyang may not be unable to fight."

"Even if we are defeated, our army can retreat to Guanzhong and Bingzhou respectively. At that time, we will connect with Xiqiang, Xianbei, and Xiongnu, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack the Central Plains. The outcome is still uncertain!"

Liu Bei said solemnly.

After Guan Yu listened, he nodded emphatically: "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely win the second brother of Yecheng."

"Yeah!" Liu Bei nodded.

Right now, there are not many people he can trust.

"Third brother, let Ma Chao bring his confidants to intercept and kill all the routs for me, don't let any one go." Liu Bei said again.

"Brother, let Ma Chao do what, I can do it!" Zhang Fei bluffed, puzzled.

"I have something important for you. In a while, you go and invite nephew Liu Xun in person." Liu Bei pondered for a moment, and then said.

"Brother, what do you want him to do?" Zhang Fei frowned.

Guan Yu stroked his beard, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, Big Brother wants to do something?

"Second brother, elder brother ordered, just do it!" Guan Yu scolded Zhang Fei, he was unconditionally convinced of Liu Bei, and time was running out.

"Oh!" Zhang Fei muttered.

"Brother, I'll go get ready first." Guan Yu clasped his fists and looked at Zhang Fei again: "Third brother, during my absence, you must take good care of your elder brother!"

"Brother, don't worry!" Zhang Fei replied.
