Genius One Second Remember Love ÷ Go ÷ Little? I will provide you with wonderful novels to read.
At this point, Cheng Yu only pointed out two directions. The first was to increase the supply level of Yuan Shu within the Merchant Alliance. Providing him with all kinds of strategic resources was understandable. It was somewhat like profiting from war.
At the same time, as Cheng Yu and the others said, arming Yuan Shu would also cause more trouble for the other Feudal Lords. It was like killing with a borrowed knife.
As for the second point that Cheng Yu mentioned, Yang Rui did not fully understand it. It was only after Cheng Yu explained it to him did Yang Rui understand.
"… Why don't Milord send troops to Liu Bei in Xu Province before Yuan Shu officially proclaims himself as Emperor? Take the opportunity to seize Liu Bei's territory.
At the same time, you can use this as a condition to eliminate the threat of Liu Bei's ten counties to request Yuan Shu to withdraw from Xu Province's six counties. This way, the entire Xu Province will be in Milord's possession. "
Cheng Yu continued. Guo Jia, Sun Qian, and Xun You nodded. Clearly, they were in favor of sending troops to Liu Bei first.
"If Yuan Shu is unwilling to do so, how should we deal with him?"
After listening to Cheng Yu's words, Yang Rui agreed that it was a good plan. However, there were still some uncontrollable details.
"According to Yuan Shu's previous behavior, he will not easily agree to this. I believe that Milord should first attack Liu Bei and slowly wait for Yuan Shu's reaction. [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↑ Say △ w]
】
When Yuan Shu officially proclaims himself as Emperor and feels the pressure from all directions, Milord may not need to mention this matter. Yuan Shu will withdraw from Xu Province on his own accord.
However, before that, Milord still needs to do a few things. That is … Milord, do you think this is feasible? What do you think? "
Cheng Yu already had a well-thought-out plan. After being asked by Yang Rui, he immediately answered. Furthermore, he had already considered the set of actions that Yang Rui would need to take before and after discussing with Yang Rui and Guo Jia.
"Zhong De's considerations are thorough. Jia Xu …"
"I also agree with this plan!"
"…"
Yang Rui thought about what Cheng Yu said and finally nodded in agreement. At this time, there were less than seven game days left before Yuan Shu declared himself the Emperor.
That night, Yang Rui hosted a banquet in the inner city of Linzi City's three prefectures. He treated the emissary sent by Yuan Shu with great hospitality. During the banquet, Yang Rui mentioned his plans for Xu Province to the emissary.
The emissary from Yuan Shu did not know what to do after hearing Yang Rui's words. As this matter concerned the final destination of a province, the emissary knew that he could not make the decision. Thus, after the banquet ended, he immediately returned to Shouchun City.
At this time, the storyline had not officially started yet. The teleportation formation in the game could be used normally. It was very convenient for one to send emissaries to another. Thus, it was not a problem for the emissary from Yuan Shu to return to Shouchun City.
As for the emissary from Yuan Shu staying in Linzi City, it was just to express his sincerity to Yang Rui.
Not to mention the fact that the emissary from Yuan Shu had returned to discuss the conditions that Yang Rui mentioned with Yuan Shu and the other officials and generals. How could Yuan Shu not think about it? The next morning, Yang Rui started to act.
Apart from Xun You taking charge of Chen Liu Prefecture City, Huang Zhong taking charge of Hulao Pass, and Guo Jia taking charge of the defense of the territory, Yang Rui, Cheng Yu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Guan Hai, Imagawa Yoshimoto, and the Imperial Patrol Guards led 300 thousand elite troops and charged toward Xiapi Prefecture's Xixiang County.
At the same time, Yang Rui also ordered Xu You and several of his wives in Xu Province to put pressure on the border of Mount Tai Commandery and Xu Province. He also ordered Gan Ning to command the navy of Wenshui and Sishui to attack Liu Bei together, so that Liu Bei would be attacked from head to tail.
The reason Yang Rui gave for attacking Liu Bei was very simple. It was that Liu Bei's troops had recently detained two carriages and only released them after collecting a fine.
In truth, there were many such conflicts between the vassal territories. It was just that Liu Bei was usually targeted. As the saying goes, if you want to condemn someone, you can easily find a pretext.
At this moment, apart from Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, there was no one else in Liu Bei's faction that could fight. As a result, even though Yang Rui did not bring a lot of troops, when the news reached Liu Bei's ears, it gave him a fright.
Liu Bei hurriedly sent Mi Zhu, Mi Zhen's brother and Yang Rui's brother-in-law, to ask for a meeting with Yang Rui. Liu Bei hoped to use Mi Zhu's identity to persuade Yang Rui so that he could protect himself.
Of course, it was unknown whether Mi Zhu could convince Liu Bei and this process would take time. After entering a state of war, the various teleportation formations could not be used. Thus, it was not easy for Mi Zhu to meet with Yang Rui.
In comparison, Yang Rui had already made a lot of arrangements before sending out troops to attack Liu Bei. As a result, be it in terms of offense or defense, Yang Rui's troops were already in place. At this time, attacking and defending was very easy.
Before Yang Rui sent out troops to attack Liu Bei, he had also done several other things.
First, Yang Rui sent people to Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao under the guise of perfecting the etiquette of the King of the Eastern Sea. He had sent people to propose marriage to Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao.
When they had won the Kingdom War, the little Emperor Liu Xie had rewarded Yang Rui with the same standard of living as the Son of Heaven. It wasn't just things like what kind of house to live in or what kind of carriage to use. It also included the number of wives and many other things.
Cheng Yu suggested that Yang Rui propose marriage to the three Marquises. The targets of the proposal were Lu Bu's daughter, Lu Wen, Yuan Shao's daughter, Yuan Fang, and Cao Cao's daughter, Cao Jie. Yang Rui knew about Lu Wen and Cao Jie through the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Originally, Yang Rui sent people to propose marriage to the three families with hidden intentions. He only thought that it was Cheng Yu's plan. He did not think that Cheng Yu's plan was also real. If the three parties agreed to Yang Rui's proposal, they would directly marry him.
In addition, Yang Rui also sent a memorial to Liu Xie, denouncing Liu Bei's crime of harming merchants in Xu Province. He hoped that the Emperor could issue an imperial edict to abolish Liu Bei's position as Governor of Xu Province and have Yang Rui replace him.
Naturally, this was to legitimately attack Liu Bei. However, Yang Rui did not seem to care about whether Liu Xie could issue an imperial edict or not. He only cared about moving at full speed, preparing to chase Liu Bei out of Xu Province.
After all, there was not much time left before the start of the prequel storyline. There were only six gaming days left.
At this moment, Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was more like the SG of the United Nations in the real world. If others really wanted to use force, he would be powerless. He was a living example of an SG. If he stepped forward to clean up the mess, it would naturally look a lot better.
