"Is it that chess piece?" Cao Cao frowned. This chess piece was very clever. Moreover, this chess piece was not placed by Cao Cao, but by that person. It was given to him by that person when he went to Yangzhou.
"If he uses it, will it endanger his safety?" Cao Cao frowned and said worriedly.
This chess piece was placed by that person, and it was also the last gift he gave to Cao Cao.
"My lord, do you still not believe in Fengxiao?" It was impossible for Cheng Yu to not have any thoughts about Guo Jia. Cheng Yu was now like a resentful wife who was abandoned by her husband. He looked at Cao Cao sadly.
That's right, this chess piece was Mr. Genius, Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao. After leaving Yanzhou, he went to Yangzhou to treat his illness. He left this chess piece for Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was not willing to use it because he was afraid that if he used it, Yangzhou's King of Han, Liu Mang, would kill Guo Jia out of anger.
"En? Believe in him? " Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu doubtfully. He naturally believed in Guo Jia. Otherwise, he would not be like a brother to Guo Jia. It could be said that in Cao Cao's army, only Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao, could let Cao Cao accompany him to eat, drink, and even sleep with him. If Cao Cao did not believe in Guo Jia, who would he believe? But what did this have to do with believing in Guo Jia?
"My lord, since you believe in Fengxiao, then you should know that Fengxiao would not think of his safety in advance." Cheng Yu asked.
"But!" Cao Cao was still hesitating. He did not want to put his only friend in danger. He was now the King of Wei. His previous friends had either died in his hands, such as Xu You, Yuan Shao, and others. His friends had also distanced themselves from him. After all, his status was getting higher and higher.
Now that he was the King of Wei, if he ruled the world, it was hard to say whether it would be under the surname of Liu or Cao. Therefore, Cao Cao would only become more and more lonely. Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao, that prodigal son, was the only one who watched Cao Cao grow day by day, but still treated Cao Cao the same.
This may be Cao Cao's only friend.
"My lord, there is no buts! I believe that even if Fengxiao was here, he would persuade you! That King of Han, Liu Mang, is also not that kind of person. "Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao. Although Liu Mang was scolded by Cheng Yu as despicable and shameless, at least this Liu Mang did not indiscriminately kill innocent people. He even put some strategists under house arrest rather than kill them. This was very comforting.
"Milord, as long as you don't take Yangzhou, Feng Xiao will be in danger. You won't be able to see Feng Xiao. Only if you use that chess piece and go all the way south to take Yangzhou can you meet Feng Xiao again!" Cheng Yu persuaded.
"Okay!" Cao Cao stood up and nodded. He was ready to listen to Cheng Yu's advice and use that chess piece. Instead of worrying about Fengxiao's safety, it was better to send troops to Yangzhou and reunite with Fengxiao after taking Yangzhou.
Just as Cao Cao was about to give the order, a person came over.
"My lord, is my lord in his room?" An anxious voice sounded outside Cao Cao's study.
"Xun You?" In the study, Cao Cao and Cheng Yu recognized the voice outside.
"Minister Xun, my lord and Minister Cheng are discussing something inside!" Xun You said. Other than Guo Jia, as long as there was no order from his lord, Cao Cao, no one was allowed to enter Cao Cao's room.
"General Xu Chu, I have an urgent report for my lord! Quickly report it! " Xun You said to Xu Chu.
"It's Gongda, right? Come in!" Cao Cao shouted from inside.
Only then did Xu Chu cupped his hands, and Xun You entered.
He saw Cheng Yu and Cao Cao sitting over there discussing something.
"My lord, Minister Cheng!" Xun You said to the two people over there.
"What is Gongda here for?" Cao Cao nodded and asked.
"My lord, there is an urgent report from Yizhou!" Xun You said to Cao Cao.
"Yizhou?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment.
Xun You nodded and told him that Huang She had already sent troops to Yizhou.
"Zhang Lu, Zhao Wei, and Huang She?" Cao Cao heard this news. Cao Cao was a military expert. He immediately put himself in Liu Zhang's position. However, he frowned because this situation was too difficult to break. A 50,000 army facing enemies from three sides. There were hundreds of thousands in front and behind. Moreover, two of the enemies were familiar with the terrain.
This Liu Zhang was really troublesome. Even Cao Cao found it difficult to break out of this situation, let alone this Liu Zhang.
"Yizhou is going to change hands!" Cheng Yu said from the side. Liu Zhang could only be good at harvesting. It was impossible for him to expand his territory. Now, the internal and external troubles had already revealed his defeat.
"How did this Huang She send troops?" Cao Cao continued to ask.
Huang She? Cao Cao didn't pay attention to it. However, he also understood that this was a small character who had achieved success. He was a person who had always been a joke.
The only time Cao Cao knew his name was when he killed Liu Biao. However, Cao Cao also knew that after killing Liu Biao, Huang She wouldn't be able to jump around for long. A person who killed his master and betrayed his master couldn't last long.
Even a person like Liu Bei would use all kinds of excuses to cover himself. Huang She couldn't do that.
However, he didn't expect that Huang She would actually send troops to Yizhou. Moreover, according to the news brought by Xun You. The timing of Huang She's attack was just when Yizhou was in turmoil.
Moreover, Huang She was already prepared. How could this Huang She have such foresight? If this Huang She was really a person, why didn't Cao Cao see it from the beginning?
However, Cao Cao was now more vigilant. This was because of the precedent of the King of Han, Liu Mang. If that guy really came out of nowhere, then Cao Cao's plan would be completely ruined.
It must be known that if there was no King of Han, Liu Mang, the current Xu Province and Yangzhou would belong to Cao Cao instead of the current confrontation between the two sides.
However, Cao Cao was also very grateful to Liu Mang. Because of Wu Chao, and also because of Guo Jia's illness. He also knew about Guo Jia's illness. If there was no Yangzhou, then Guo Jia would definitely die.
"Is that Huang She really a late bloomer?" Cheng Yu was also puzzled.
"Haha!" Xun You laughed and shook his head.
Cao Cao and Cheng Yu both looked at Xun You. They wanted to find an answer from Xun You.
"My lord, Minister Cheng, look at this!" After saying that, Xun You took out another piece of information.
It said that Liu Bei had entered Jingzhou.
"Liu Bei entered Jingzhou? When did this happen? " Cao Cao looked at the information in his hand and was shocked. Other people might be relaxed about Liu Bei and think that this Liu Bei was just a small fry. However, in this world, there were people who did not know. It could even be said that these two people regarded Liu Bei as a life and death enemy.
One was our Yangzhou's King of Han, Liu Mang, and the other was our King of Wei, Cao Cao.
The King of Han, Liu Mang, regarded Liu Bei as a great enemy because he had read history and knew that this person was an unkillable cockroach. In the end, he divided the world into three parts. As for Cao Cao, he was deceived by Liu Bei.
Cao Cao was an ambitious and ruthless person. Generally, he was the one who played others. How could he, Cao Cao, be played by others?
Our Liu Bei did it. Not only did he play with Cao Cao, he also occupied Cao Cao's territory. He almost made it so that Cao Cao could not make a comeback.
Fortunately, Cao Cao had Guo Jia as his subordinate and Liu Bei did not have an equal advisor. Otherwise, Cao Cao would have cried.
One learns from one's mistakes. Therefore, Cao Cao was very wary of Liu Bei.
"Why did Liu Bei go to Jingzhou? Does he not want Yuzhou's Runan? "Cheng Yu was also puzzled. This Liu Bei still had Yuzhou's territory.
"How many soldiers can Runan raise? Not to mention, King of Han Liu Mang has already evacuated most of the people. If he stays in Runan, he will definitely die!" Cao Cao shook his head and said. He thought that in the end, Liu Bei would either come to him to beg for mercy, go to Yangzhou, or sit on the ground and wait for death.
However, he did not expect that this Liu Bei actually went to Jingzhou.
"What about Yangzhou's troops? Why didn't Yangzhou's troops stop him? "Cao Cao loudly questioned.
Cheng Yu also asked. Yes, if he wanted to enter Jingzhou, he had to go through Xinye. However, Xinye was Liu Mang's territory. Why didn't Liu Mang stop him?
"I don't know!" Xun You shook his head. However, he knew a little. When Liu Bei entered Jingzhou, he suffered very few injuries. Most of his troops were brought over.
"How could Yangzhou Liu Mang not know?" Cao Cao thought about it. It was impossible. If Liu Bei entered Jingzhou alone, then Cao Cao would not be suspicious. Was it because of one person? The target was so small that the south side would be missed. However, not only did Liu Bei go there, but he also brought troops over.
That was different. It was impossible for Yangzhou to not see it.
Then, there was only one possibility.
"Yangzhou Liu Mang deliberately let Liu Bei enter Jingzhou!" Cao Cao and Xun You all thought of it.
"But why did Yangzhou Liu Mang let Liu Bei enter Jingzhou?" This was what the three of them could not figure out.
The fact that Liu Bei was in Jingzhou already shocked Cao Cao. Then, there was another shocking news.
"Huang She actually let Liu Bei stay in Jingzhou? Both Cai Mao and Kuai Yue went to Yizhou? "Cao Cao was completely dumbfounded. That meant that Jingzhou had become Liu Bei's home ground.
Liu Bei was famous for being a crane that occupied a nest. Now, someone actually dared to put his hometown in front of Liu Bei? Even if Huang She conquered Yizhou, Jingzhou would be gone.
"Who instigated Huang She to enter Yizhou?" Cao Cao seemed to have grasped the crux of the problem.
"A person called Shiyuan!" Xun You said.
"Shiyuan? Who is that? " Cao Cao asked with a frown. He realized that he knew a lot about Jingzhou. Why didn't he know about this person called Shiyuan?
"This person appeared halfway. I heard that he was introduced by Jingzhou's Yi Ji. There was also a person called Zhang De who came out to help Huang She. They helped Huang She defeat Liu Pan's remaining forces!" Xun You reported to Cao Cao.
"Yi Ji?" Cao Cao knew this name because according to Cao Cao's information, it was this Yi Ji who instigated Huang She to kill Liu Biao.
This Shiyuan was also introduced by Yi Ji. This Shiyuan instigated Huang She to enter Yizhou and left Liu Bei to guard Jingzhou?
Cao Cao seemed to have caught onto something.
"This Yi Ji is Liu Bei's man!" Cao Cao gritted his teeth.
"That Huang She is dead this time!" Cheng Yu and Xun You hadn't completely figured out the situation, but Cao Cao had already figured it out.
It wasn't that Cao Cao was smarter than Cheng Yu and the others, but Cao Cao knew Liu Bei. He knew Liu Bei even better than Cao Cao.
"That Yi Ji should be Liu Bei's man. Liu Bei entered Jingzhou! Huang She killed Liu Biao and removed Liu Bei's biggest obstacle. Now Huang She brought troops to Yizhou. Once he and Liu Zhang fought to the death in Yizhou, they would definitely delay time! " At that time, Jingzhou would have already changed hands. Although this Liu Zhang was a waste, but no matter what, Yi Province was still his stronghold. Whether it was the people's heart or the army's heart, it was bound to be very high. This Huang She wouldn't be able to capture Yi Province in a short time.
Even if he took down Yizhou, Jingzhou would have already been occupied by Liu Bei. In addition to Huang She's army, Zhang De, and Shiyuan, it would be difficult for Huang She to not die! At that time, Yizhou and Jingzhou would both be taken! Good, good! Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, you're so calculative. I said that you and I were the heroes of this world. You're really good. You fell time and time again, but you climbed up again and again! I'm really smiling at you. I admire you, I admire you! " Cao Cao couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile.
No matter how much he calculated, he did not expect Liu Xuande to be able to turn things around in such a manner.
He didn't expect this at all. Originally, Liu Mang from Yangzhou was enough to give him a headache. Now, Liu Bei from Yangzhou had risen up again.
"Lord, there's also news from Yangzhou!" Xun You continued.
"Yangzhou?" Cao Cao tossed aside his sense of loss and asked doubtfully.
"Yes!" Xun You nodded. "The news from Yangzhou is that the Yangtze River Navy stationed outside Jingzhou seems to be moving! They're heading towards Jingzhou! "
"Yangzhou's troops? King of Han, Liu Mang? He's going to Jingzhou? " Cao Cao was puzzled. As expected of someone who studied his opponents. "Gongda, you said that when Liu Bei's troops entered Jingzhou, Liu Mang's troops didn't stop them at all?"
"Yes!" Xun You nodded. Xun You had been paying attention to the movements in Jingzhou. When Liu Bei's troops moved, Yangzhou was completely indifferent. If the Yangtze River Navy really moved, Liu Bei's troops would have been wiped out long ago.
