Just as Chen Chu and Zhou Yu and others were speculating on Cao Cao's intentions, Liu Yu was also discussing issues with his confidants about Cao's army in Youzhou Governor's Mansion thousands of miles away.

"Lord, according to the current situation, Cao Cao seems to want to attack Yanzhou, which is the Northern Army!" The person who spoke was Tian Chou, whose courtesy name was Zishou, and whose name was Wushou, Youzhou was in his forties. He was the first strategist under Liu Yu, and he was resourceful.

Liu Yu showed a worried expression and sighed and said, "Oh! I don't know when the soldiers and soldiers will stop together!"

Seeing Liu Yu like this, Tian Chou couldn't help but feel a little moved. Tian Chou clasped his fists at Liu Yu and said, "Lord, if Cao Cao really attacked the Northern Army, our opportunity will come!"

Liu Yu was stunned and frowned and asked, "Zi Shou means..."

"We can take advantage of the stalemate between Cao Cao and the Northern Army, and we can carry all the forces of Youzhou to the south, and we will definitely capture Jizhou in one fell swoop!" Tian Chou's expression seemed a little excited.

Liu Yu was not as excited as Tian Chou. Liu Yu shook his head slowly and said, "The world is already unstable, so why should I get angry and raise my salary?"

When Tian Chou heard this, he couldn't help but feel anxious and advised him urgently: "Lord is kindness, the blessing of the people, but you must not be kind to women! Besides, the world's princess is constantly quarrels, so why don't you take on the important task of saving the world as a royal noble?"

Liu Yu frowned and stood by the window with his hands behind his back, silent for a long time. Tian Chou stood quietly behind him, looking very anxious.

Liu Yu turned around and said to Tian Chou: "I understand Zishou's intentions. However, I know my own affairs. I, Liu Yu, can sit in a corner. However, when it comes to heroes fighting for the decisive battle, I don't have the ability to do so! So I should manage and manage the people with peace of mind! I can make the people under the rule live and work in peace and contentment, and I am willing to do it!"

Tian Chou couldn't help but feel anxious and said anxiously: "Even if the lord doesn't plan for himself, do you have to see the great Han Dynasty's hundreds of years of history be destroyed by those traitors?"

Liu Yu's brows shrank suddenly and said nothing.

Seeing this, Tian Chou was overjoyed and hurriedly continued: "Today, the only ones who are able to revive the Han Dynasty are the lords and Liu Biao in Jingzhou. However, Liu Biao is old and his son is not a good person. Therefore, the hope of the Han Dynasty lies with the lords! If the lord does not take on the heavy responsibility of revive the Han Dynasty, the hundreds of years of the Han Dynasty will probably be ruined!"

Liu Yu paced back and forth irritably. Tian Chou watched quietly from the side, waiting for Liu Yu's decision.

Liu Yu suddenly stopped, sighed, turned to Tian Chou and said, "Zi Shou said it well! I almost missed the big thing!"

Tian Chou couldn't help but feel excited and knelt down and said, "Lord is wise!"

Liu Yu helped Tian Chou up, returned to his main seat and sat down, and asked Tian Chou: "Zi Shou, are you sure that Cao Cao is going to attack the Northern Army?"

Tian Chou nodded and said, "Based on the information feedback from our spies, it is basically certain!"

Liu Yu thought for a moment and said to Tian Chou: "After a moment, I will ask Mr. Zishou to send orders to Yan Rou and Xian Yufu, asking them to prepare for war and wait for orders!"

"Yes!" Tian Chou agreed excitedly.

After Tian Chou left the lobby, Liu Yu was stunned for a while before leaving.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

There is a shop operating Shujin on the most prosperous main street in Youzhou City. It is very large in scale. The owner is named Liu Jiang, who is about 30 years old. He is from Renqiu, Youzhou. He has been operating in Youzhou for nearly ten years and has a wide connection in Youzhou.

That evening, after Liu Jiang saw the last guest away as usual, he asked the client to do his chores, and walked straight to the backyard. When he entered the room, he put a pot of tea on the utensil. Liu Jiang started drinking it leisurely. Drinking tea was a great enjoyment for Liu Jiang.

Suddenly, a sound of flapping wings sounded, and a pigeon landed on the window edge of Liu Jiang's room. Liu Jiang moved his heart, quickly put down the teacup, walked over quickly. He grabbed the pigeon, took a bamboo tube from the pigeon's feet, and then put the pigeon back into the air. Liu Jiang habitually poked his head out of the window and took a look around, quickly closed the window, sat down in front of the table, took a short note from it, and put it under the oil lamp.

After reading the short note, Liu Jiang lit the short note on the oil lamp, and instantly, the short note turned into ashes.

Liu Jiang stood up, tidyed up his clothes, and then left the room.

Liu Jiang left the shop and boarded the carriage. The carriage then headed straight to the governor's mansion not far away.

At this time, Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, was discussing matters with Tianchou in the lobby. Suddenly, a personal soldier came to the hall to report: "Lord, Boss Liu from the Silk Village is asking for a meeting!"

Liu Yu and Tian Chou were both stunned. Tian Chou said in confusion: "What are Liu Jiang doing here at this time?"

Liu Yu said to his personal soldiers: "Please come in, Boss Liu!"

"Yes!" The personal soldiers responded and left the lobby.

A moment later, the personal soldiers took Liu Jiang back to the hall. The personal soldiers saluted Liu Yu and retreated.

Liu Jiang clasped his fists at Liu Yu, "Sir, Governor!"

Tian Chou frowned and looked unhappy, because Liu Jiang's etiquette was too simple and slow, or it was completely incompatible with Liu Jiang's identity at this moment.

Liu Yu did not show any unhappy expression. Liu Yu asked with a smile: "What's the urgent matter for Boss Liu to come so late?"

Liu Jiang clasped his fists and said, "I believe the governor doesn't know Liu's identity yet!"

Liu Yu and Tian Chou were both stunned. Liu Yu asked in confusion: "Is Boss Liu the boss of the silk shop?"

Liu Jiang smiled slightly, took out a bronze medal from his arms and presented it to Liu Yu. Tian Chou got up and took it from Liu Jiang's hand. He took a look. His expression suddenly changed. He quickly presented the bronze medal to Liu Yu. After Liu Yu saw the bronze medal, his expression suddenly changed. He raised his head and stared at Liu Jiang with a gloomy expression. He said in a very surprised tone: "I didn't expect that Boss Liu was actually the general's secret envoy!" Tian Chou, who was standing beside him, snorted coldly, "I'm afraid he is a secret spy!"

Liu Jiang smiled indifferently, clasped his fists at Liu Yu and said, "I am here this time to come on the order of my lord!"

Liu Yu and Tian Chou looked at each other, and Liu Yu asked, "What's wrong with the general?"

Liu Jiang replied: "It's not that the general has something to do, but that the governor has something to do!"

Liu Yu, Tian Chou's expression changed, and Tian Chou said angrily: "What do you mean is threatening us?"

Liu Jiang said calmly: "Mr. Tian misunderstood! How could my lord be rude to the royal nobles? But it's hard to say about Cao Cao!" After pausing, he continued: "My lord has obtained conclusive information not long ago. Cao Cao will launch troops in Youzhou in the near future!"

Liu Yu and Tian Chou were stunned, then Tian Chou sneered: "But the information we have obtained is that Cao Cao will use troops to Yanzhou! Lord Liu said this. Is it because he wants to involve our Youzhou in the battle between you two? Isn't it scary?

Liu Jiang burst into laughter.

Tian Chou frowned and asked unhappily: "What are Lord Liu laughing at?"

Liu Jiang stopped laughing and said proudly: "My Northern Expedition Army has more than 300,000 elite troops in Yanzhou, and its comprehensive combat power is much stronger than Cao Cao's so-called 400,000 troops! Lord Tian thinks why is my lord afraid of him, Cao Cao or how dare Cao Cao stumble on the Northern Expedition Army's tiger beard?"

Tian Chou was stunned, thought, and murmured: "Is Cao's real target really us, but it's not right!"

Tian Chou raised his head and clasped his fists at Liu Jiang and said, "It's not that Tian doesn't believe in Lord Liu, but as Lord Liu said just now, the Northern Army has more than 300,000 elite troops in Yanzhou. If Cao Cao uses troops to our Youzhou, wouldn't he be worried about being attacked by the Northern Army in the rear?" At this moment, Tian Chou's tone and expression were much more relaxed than before.

Liu Jiang bowed his fists and replied, "My lord has guessed a possibility!" He paused and continued, "It is very likely that some of the generals under the command of the governor have secretly defected to Cao Cao!"

When Liu Yu and Tian Chou heard this, they were shocked and said in unison: "How is this possible!"

Liu Jiang said solemnly: "I'm afraid there is only one possibility!"

The lobby became quiet and the atmosphere was a bit solemn. Liu Yu and Tian Chou frowned and thought, Liu Jiang was the most relaxed one, Liu Jiang was quietly waiting in the hall.

After a while, Tian Chou clasped his fists at Liu Yu and said, "Lord, what Lord Liu said may be true!" With the reminder of the Northern Army, Tian Chou had basically figured out the links of the whole thing.

Liu Yu originally did not believe what Liu Jiang said. He did not believe that his subordinates who were deeply favored would betray him, but when he heard Tian Chou's words, he couldn't help but feel very painful.
