Chapter 284
When fighting for the world, there is no big difference between marrying Sun Shangxiang, except for giving him one more wife and one more relative! When he wants to conquer Jiangdong, both sides will still fight to the death! However, it is not without any benefit to marry Sun Shangxiang. At least in the future, if he is in an absolute position in Jiangdong and Jiangdong is in danger, their will to resist will not be very strong! After all, even if they surrender, even if they surrender, they don’t have to worry about attacking them! In this way, the Youzhou army can defeat others without fighting! Thinking of this, marrying Sun Shangxiang is not beneficial to the overall situation of Youzhou! Thinking of this, Liu Bin couldn’t help but smile!
But just when Liu Bin was planning to plot against other princes, Cao Cao was also planning to plot against Liu Bin. However, Liu Bin only started to plot against Cao Cao after a break and got the opportunity. However, Cao Cao had always wanted to plot against Liu Bin, but he was so busy that he had no time to plot against Liu Ming. These days, Cao Cao was so busy that he was busy to mobilize the army and horses. In the end, he did not raise 30,000 people. But when Cao Cao admitted his bad luck and was preparing to fight locally. Regardless of the reconstruction work in Yanzhou, he let Ma Chao in first and then eliminated Ma Chao, Cao Cao unexpectedly received the good news. Cao Hong successfully defended Zheng County in the battle to the death and beat Ma Chao away.
Cao Cao was overjoyed, but a little depressed. Isn’t it a waste of time to be busy these days? Cao Cao, who suddenly got rid of the heavy work, was a little uncomfortable for a moment. Cao Cao began to find work for himself. But Cao Cao’s current situation was almost the same as Liu Bin. He also urgently hoped to rest and recover and strengthen his strength. Yuan Shu and others who Cao Cao could plot at present, Cao Cao had sent someone to pass the imperial edict, and Xi'an could provoke them. So Cao Cao turned his mind to Liu Bin, who had been trying to calculate but had not had time to plot.
There is actually telepathy between the master and the hero. Some of the views of both sides are also surprisingly similar! It seems that Liu Bin has always regarded Cao Cao as his confidant and his greatest enemy! By the same token, Cao Cao also regarded Liu Bin as his confidant and his greatest enemy! And at this point, Cao Cao felt a stronger sense of crisis! After all, Liu Bin's Youzhou army is too powerful, and they are now the largest force in the world. Youzhou has an absolute advantage! How can this not make the grass, which has always been a heroic and stubborn, not have a sense of crisis?
Cao Cao thought of Xun Shuang who had been specially stayed in order to deal with Liu Bin. Cao Cao was going to use Xun Shuang to threaten Xun Yu, the minister under Liu Bin, and Xun You came to surrender to him. Cao Cao had a good plan. If Liu Bin refused to let Xun Yu go and Xun You came to surrender, then he could be rumored that Liu Bin did not cherish his subordinates, hindered his subordinates' human ethics and destroyed Liu Bin's good reputation! Because Liu Bin has always had a good reputation in the world, and people all over the world say that Liu Bin is unparalleled and caring for his subordinates, so many talented people went to Youzhou to seek refuge in Youzhou! If he could use this matter to expose Liu Bin's mask and destroy Liu Bin's reputation, then when recruiting talents in the future.
Youzhou will not have such a big advantage! And if Liu Bin let Xun Yu go, Xun You will come to join him. Not only will Liu Bin lose two helpers in vain, but he can also get two helpers in vain. He can also obtain some confidential military information from Liu Bin. In addition, he can also rumor that Liu Bin is incompetent and cannot keep his subordinates. In this way, it will eventually greatly damage Liu Bin's reputation and make the heroes in the world hesitate when he is preparing to surrender to Liu Bin. Then can't he gather more talents? So Cao Cao ordered people to set up a signboard in Guandu and posted missing person notices everywhere. He said that Xun Shuang was critically ill and might not be able to survive this year. I hope Xun Yu and Xun You will immediately visit Xu Du after receiving the letter.
Before Cao Cao's sign was set up for a few days, Gao Lan, who was stationed in Guandu, received news. Gao Lan was angry at Cao Cao's scoundrel behavior at that time. Xun Yu and Xun You were important officials under the lord Liu Bin, and Xun Shuang could not have known it. But Cao Cao actually posted such a notice. Is Cao Cao really not aware or not? Gao Lan was determined to send troops and ruin the sign. Teach Cao a lesson. But Gao Lan was afraid that doing this would affect the lord's plan to keep a low profile. But if he ignored this matter, the people in Cao Cao's territory would not know the truth. It would definitely become more and more evil. If they knew about Xun Yu and Xun You became officials under the lord. Not only Xun Yu, but also Xun You, the reputation of the two masters, was damaged. Even if the lord was not properly handled, they would be implicated. They ended up being a stigma that hindered the moral principles of his subordinates.
Therefore, Gao Lan did not dare to be negligent, so he put Cao Cao in Guandu overnight to report the contents of Xun Yu and Xun You, both of whom were not allowed to be written word for it. Zhao Yun received Gao Lan's report and attached great importance to it. He quickly handed the Gao Lan report to Liu Bin. After reading it, Liu Bin frowned and secretly scolded Cao Cao's plan for being too overbearing. Even the common people should understand this plan, Cao Cao was doing it. It was clearly Cao Cao who gave himself a problem of choosing one of two. And it was a problem of being blocked at both ends. However, Liu Bin could not
I don’t admire Cao Cao. It’s enough to not be afraid of abuse. The human heart is the most subtle thing. Even if a thing is handled correctly and perfectly, just say it from another perspective, everything will be different. Now Cao Cao has given himself a problem of choosing one of two. As long as he follows Cao Cao’s ideas, no matter which one he chooses, Cao Cao will eventually spread rumors and cause trouble and destroy his reputation. It seems that Cao Cao’s previous public opinion war has not been satisfied yet, and he is ready to continue to compete with him in this regard.
But after thinking for a while, Liu Bin felt a little funny! Who is Cao Cao? The greatest treacherous hero in the ages! In the original time and space, he has always treated other princes with a domineering attitude. He rarely uses these shameful means to conspire! Because when the strong face the weak, with his own strong strength, he can eliminate those weak people! There is no need to make any conspiracy at all! But unexpectedly, in this time and space, because of his strong rise, Cao Cao suppressed Cao Cao to nothing, which made Cao Cao always in a weak position in the fight with him! Now he is still comparable to Cao Cao, who is more shameful means! To be honest, he is still very fulfilling! After all, not everyone can force Cao Cao, the greatest treacherous hero in the ages, to use such scoundrel methods!
But even if you feel accomplished, Liu Bin will not feel comfortable if you are using such despicable means! If Cao Cao really succeeds this time, will the foundation he has built up with great effort be lingered? If everyone learns Cao Cao in the future and uses this method to himself, wouldn’t it be too early to be done with him? So this matter must be handled properly!
However, before Liu Bin could speak, Guo Jia, who had sent the Qing Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, spoke! At this time, Guo Jia spoke to Liu Bin: "My lord, Cao Cao's notice is obviously a scam. You must not let Xun Yu, Xun You and the others go to Xudu to visit Lord Xu Shuang. If you go, you will not be able to come back. Although if you don't let Xun Yu and Xun You leave, it may damage your reputation. But this is very small compared to the loss of letting them go to Cao Cao. Xun Yu is a good player in handling internal affairs. Xun You is more insightful than his subordinates in military and political affairs!
Youzhou is one of the best talents. If you lose them, you will suffer too much loss. And even if you don’t consider these things, Xun Yu and Xun You know too much about the facts of our Youzhou. If they go to Cao Cao and tell them, the suspicious plan we have put forward now will be useless. Our Youzhou is in danger of destruction. So you must not let Xun Yu, Xun You and the others go to Cao Cao.” At this point, Guo Jia frowned and said with a heart of heart: “Even if you can’t keep them, even if you kill them, you can’t let them go to Cao Cao.”
Liu Bin was stunned and muttered in his heart: You kid is still so cruel. Xun Yu, Xun You usually have a good relationship with you! Guo Jia and Xun Yu used to study at Yingchuan Academy, and they were classmates. In addition, they were fellow villagers, so the relationship was very close! Xun Yu and Xun You and others were able to come to Youzhou and defect to Liu Bin, which was recommended by Guo Jia! So their relationship is extraordinary! With such a relationship, Guo Jia also said such words! However, Liu Bin also had a burst of warmth in his heart. Because Liu Bin knew clearly that Guo Jia would think so. It was not Guo Jia and Xun Yu, Xun You and others were preparing to fight for power and profit. But Guo Jia was too loyal to himself. Therefore, he had such extreme thoughts for the overall overall situation of Youzhou.
Liu Bin smiled at Guo Jia and said, "You don't have to do this. Things have not reached that point. There are other ways to solve it." "Yes, yes. The lord is right. It is indeed not at this point. Fortunately, Cao Cao was anxious. He clearly wrote on the sign that Mr. Xun Shuang's critical illness may not be delayed this year. Now it's only three months before the end of the year. We just need to do something to do and drag this matter over. Anyway, Cao Cao was in a notice in his own territory. Now Cao Cao is in a state of hostility with us. It is normal for us to have any news about them. "Guo Jia was anxious and came out again
Liu Bin fully understood Guo Jia's intention. Guo Jia did not consider it at all. Cao Cao's notice implies the risk of killing Xun Shuang for an expiration. Originally, Guo Jia's wisdom would definitely come up with a solution of the best of both worlds, but because Guo Jia knew Xun Yu and Xun You too well, he knew how great their ability was, and how great their role in the Youzhou system. They knew almost all the secret military situation in Youzhou! If they were asked to leave Youzhou and defect to Cao Cao, the loss to Youzhou would be impossible to calculate! In a hurry, he would come up with these bad ideas that did not match his wisdom and identity!
After hearing Guo Jia's words, Liu Bin was really speechless in one stop! He really didn't know what to say. Is this the usual calm and unparalleled Guo Fengxiao? How can I think of some bad ideas today! Whether Liu Bin accuses Guo Jia or praises Guo Jia, there will be bad effects. Liu Bin said helplessly to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao! This matter cannot be hidden. Cao Cao is so clamoring. Sooner or later, everyone will know. Go and find everyone. Let's put this out and see what Xun Yu and Xun You and the others say. Then let's discuss countermeasures."
"Yes, the lord is very good. Treat Xun Yu, Xun You and the others with the kindness of Xun Yu, Xun You and the others. Xun Yu, Xun You and the other two will never leave you. At that time, Cao Cao's trick will be defeated." Guo Jia followed Liu Ming. But Guo Jia made up his mind secretly: You two, it's better that you don't want to go. Otherwise, I'm sorry! Although the lord is kind and will not make things difficult for you, I will definitely send someone to kill you. It's not that I'm cold-blooded and ruthless, I don't care about the friendship of the past, but that your team Youzhou is too important, and you know too much! For the sake of your lord's great cause, I have to be sorry for you! For the whole world, I can only sacrifice you to complete the big me! The lord's great cause and the lord's reputation are important!
In a short while, Guo Jia called all the people he should have found. Although Liu Bin did not clearly tell Guo Jia that it was those people. However, Guo Jia, who had been with Liu Bin for many years, did not pull down any of them, and did not find any more. Liu Bin's confidants arrived. After everyone came, Liu Bin told all the things that Cao Cao had set up a signboard in Guandu without any conceit. Among these people, none of them were wise and well-versed. Of course, they all understood what was going on when they heard it. So they focused their attention on the victim Xun Yu and Xun You. They were about to see what these two people said.
Xun You didn't even think about it, so he spoke, "My uncle and nephew came here to assist the lord by the head of the family. After coming here, we also deeply understood the lord's mind. Today, only the lord can give peace to the people of the world. Only the lord can make the people of the world live and work in peace. Only the lord can we use our greatest talents and reflect our greatest value. Do more practical things for the people of the world. Our life has long been the lord's life. Cao Cao uses this despicable means. My uncle and nephew will never surrender. Even if the head of the family suffers misfortune, for the great cause of the lord, for the people of the world, and for the country of the Han Dynasty, the head of the family will definitely let us stay here to assist the lord. If Cao Cao dares to hurt the head of the family, our Xun clan will never give up with Cao Cao. Then please ask the lord to avenge our lord."
As soon as Xun You finished speaking, a man jumped out and said, "Mr. Xun said it well. The lord will definitely avenge you. Let's stay at Cao Cao's men and set fire to Cao Cao and others everywhere. Burn Cao Cao's farmland and burn Cao Cao's houses. Cao Cao made us feel bad. We must not let Cao Cao be safe." "Nonsense!" Before a group of stunned subordinates woke up, Liu Bin immediately rebuked: "Burning the farmland and burning the houses. Cao Cao will definitely suffer a certain amount of damage, but the people in Yanzhou and other places are so innocent. After the farmland and houses are burned, aren't the local people in the end unlucky? How can you think so? Leave!"
The person who can say such words is Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, who made great contributions on the grassland just now! Because Lu Bu made great contributions on the grassland, and his performance after joining the Youzhou Army gradually made the senior officials of Youzhou accept him! Originally, he should have gone to the northern grassland as a general to guard the general! However, the rules of the Youzhou Army must go to Youzhou Military Academy before officially being promoted to conduct professional training! Now Lu Bu is in the training period, so he has not yet come.
When he left! Because Liu Bin had previously listed Lu Bu as one of the senior executives of Youzhou, Guo Jia also called him over! First, Lu Bu is indeed very talented, and Liu Bin also wanted to cultivate him slowly. Second, let Lu Bu gradually get in touch with the real senior executives of Youzhou! Lu Bu was able to participate in this kind of memory, the meaning of the way of nature, and the meaning of the memory represented by the way of nature! So he was also very excited! So at the beginning, he couldn't wait to speak, so he spoke without considering the consequences!
But he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, he was scolded by Liu Bin! At this time, he remembered that this was Youzhou, not the Bingzhou Army where it was before, or the Xiliang Army. Here, the army did things very strictly and could not harm the people at will! He did not hold a grudge because of Liu Bin's Xunchi, but felt very regretful! Why was he so stupid? He actually forgot the rules of the Youzhou Army. As soon as he appeared, he left a bad impression on the senior management of Youzhou. If he wanted to develop well in the future, the obstacles would be great! Thinking of this, he wanted to knock himself hard!
However, Lu Bu's words were in vain. Although most people think that doing this is a bit too much, Guo Jia's eyes showed an excitement. Guo Jia pretended to explain to Lu Bu: "General Lu, burning houses and setting fires is all done by the Yellow Turban bandits. How can we do this? This will damage the reputation of the lord. You should pay attention to your words next time." No matter what, Lu Bu is now a senior executive in Youzhou, and he has to give him some face no matter how he looks for it, so Guo Jia spoke at this time, but his real intention is not just that! To be continued...
