Chapter 287

Since Sun Ce regarded Jiangdong as his sphere of influence, of course he did not allow other forces to survive in his territory! So he suppressed Jiangdong's forces and asked for advice. Anyway, although the situation in Yangzhou is complicated, there is no truly powerful prince. Sun Ce is in the midst of it, so there is no need to worry that other princes in the world will target him because of this! It can be said that he is unscrupulous now! Jiangdong is not the center of the world, and he is in the north and in the south, and in the south, he has the nominal backing of Yuan Shu as his great prince! Jiangdong can tolerate him to play at will!

Liu Bin sent someone to find Liu Yao, which was a countermeasure against Cao Cao's alliance with the princes of the world to deal with him. If Cao Cao wanted to join forces, he would naturally be in a row! Liu Bin's strong rise in the north was a big threat to most of the princes in the world, but it was good news to some princes, especially those princes who were not determined by the world. In this era, the power of the royal family was still very powerful! Among the larger princes in the world, several princes who came from the royal family occupied!

In addition to Liu Bin, there are Liu Zhang, Liu Biao, and Liu Yao! These three people are not very strong and occupy a large area of ​​territory, but these three people do not have much ambitions, or they are very aware of the times and know that their own abilities are not enough to make them fight for dominance in the world, so they are very obedient! They are a little jealous of Liu Bin's strong rise and become the world's largest prince. Although they are a little jealous of the other princes, they maintain a supportive attitude compared to other princes!

Because after all, no matter what, Liu Bin is also a relative of the Han family and a member of the Liu clan. Even if he gets the world, the Han Dynasty is still in the hands of their Liu clan! This is much better than letting those traitors get the country! And even if Liu Bin gets the country, he still wants to appease the elderly of the Liu clan. Therefore, Liu Bin's strong rise has no substantial conflict with them, and they are happy to see Liu Bin against other princes.

It is for this reason that Liu Bin wanted to send someone to contact the royal princes. They did not have much conflict with their plans to fight for the world, and their power was not small, so they could involve many other princes. They could not unite the princes of different surnames and target Youzhou! In this way, Youzhou would not be considered a lonely army and no ally! It is still very helpful to Youzhou's overall plan! This is Liu Bin's purpose!

Liu Yao occupied most of Yangzhou. Although Liu Yao's control over Yangzhou is getting smaller and smaller now, he not only has to deal with the resistance of some small princes within, but also has to deal with the invasion of the two great princes, Yuan Shu and Sun Ce. However, no matter what, he is still the governor of Yangzhou appointed by the court. He still has a moral advantage! If Youzhou supports him and does not allow him to be eliminated so quickly as in history, then the southern pattern may change in favor of Youzhou! After all, a Jiangdong area where vassal is more independent than a Sun Wu family.

The big Jiangdong is much easier to deal with! Jiangdong maintains the separatist rule of the princes. When the Youzhou army goes south in the future, it can defeat each one and easily get the entire Yangzhou! So Liu Yao, Yangzhou, is the first stop of the envoys photographed by Liu Bin! Then they will go up along the Yangtze River and place Liu Biao from Jingzhou and Liu Zhang from Yizhou! Liu Bin is also preparing to come to an alliance of the royal family to establish his own allies on the front line of the Yangtze River. He besieged Cao Cao, a confidant, between the two rivers, and make it impossible for Cao Cao to truly strengthen his strength!

Of course, Liu Yao welcomed Liu Bin's envoy! He knew that with his own ability and strength, it was difficult to even protect himself, let alone fight for the world! Now Sun Ce and Yuan Shu are aggressive, wanting to replace him and occupy the entire Yangzhou! The persecution of him is becoming increasingly serious! Like many people, Liu Yao, although he does not have much ambition and does not want to fight for the world, he really attaches great importance to his original things! Yangzhou is his territory and was rewarded by the court! In addition, he is a relative of the Han Dynasty, so it is natural to occupy Yangzhou. Even if he wants to hand it over, he should hand it over to the court and the royal family and his own people, rather than to the hands of these rioters who want to usurp the throne!

Liu Bin is the regent minister granted by the late emperor, and he is also the highest-ranking person in the royal family today. (As for the puppet emperor Liu Xie, Liu Yao didn't take it seriously!) In addition, Liu Bin's power is so powerful that the whole world is not as good as the one. There are obvious signs of unification of the world! In the future, the world will definitely fall into Liu Bin's hands and reappear the prosperity of Guangwu's revival! Although Liu Yao has never had contact with Liu Bin, he has no conflicts with Liu Bin. The two of them are also a member of the royal family. Liu Bin treats his own people very favorably and is also famous in the world. If he stands on Liu Bin's side, he will

After Liu Bin unified the world, he would definitely not treat himself badly! Since he could no longer protect Yangzhou, why not hand it over to Liu Bin? With Yangzhou as an advanced capital, when Liu Bin rewarded the world in the future, he would definitely get one of his own. Maybe his future official positions and titles would be greater than those now! So Liu Yao warmly received Liu Bin's envoy and hinted at his position of willingness to surrender to Youzhou! Liu Bin's envoy successfully completed the task without wasting any quarrels. No, it should have been overcompleted! After all, there is still a difference between unity and surrender!

After Liu Bin's envoy went up happily and headed to Jingzhou to win the next target! But they were full of joy, but some people were really worried! Now the most annoying person in the world is Cao Cao! Cao Cao has been worried a lot recently. However, except for seeing the missing person notice and receiving Liu Bin's official documents, Xun Yu and Xun You who came to Xudu to visit Xun Shuang, on the way to Xudu, they were killed by criminals through Qingzhou. This caused Liu Bin to condemn Cao Cao. Cao Cao killed court officials and planned to be indiscriminate. Other things have nothing to do with Liu Bin. Instead, they have something to do with Xu You.

First, someone from Cao Cao's subordinates reported to Cao Cao. Xu You formed a clan and established a clan. Most of Yuan Shao's old subordinates were attracted by him. Secondly, someone from Cao Cao's subordinates secretly told Cao Cao that Xu You made a name to fill his personal pockets when he was building a pass by Guandu. These two things from Xu You made Cao Cao untolerant. However, Cao Cao had just experienced a great purge and could not start a large-scale killing. Otherwise, the ministers under Cao Cao, regardless of whether they knew the truth or not, would be fearful, and thus be disloyal from Cao Cao's.

Cao Cao was never afraid of carrying the reputation of a hero and a treacherous minister, because those reputations were just the helpless title of the weak to the strong. That was Cao Cao's strength, and no one could do anything to do. Naturally, those who pursued the strong and those who pursued the power would gather under Cao Cao for this reason. However, Cao Cao was absolutely unwilling to let his reputation of seeking talent as long as he wanted. You should know that a strong man who could not tolerate others would not be followed. Moreover, Xu You's wings also achieved something. Now, Wen Chou and Yan Liang, who are in charge of heavy troops, are relatively close to Xu You. Cao Cao did not want to eliminate Xu You, thereby causing other unnecessary troubles.

The last thing that made Cao Cao more trouble was the news of Liu Bei that boy! After Liu Bei's bastard escaped from Xuchang, he actually ran to Jingzhou again! If it were just the news that Liu Bei ran to Jingzhou safely, it would not have bothered Cao Cao! What really bothered Cao Cao was that after Liu Bei ran to Jingzhou, he didn't know whether he used some sweet words to deceive Liu Biao, or whether Liu Biao was too stupid and incompetent. Or Chen Gong's secret arrangement, Liu Bei's kid actually had a good status in Jingzhou! Liu Biao not only gave Liu Bei great autonomy, but also divided some territory for her and provided Liu Bei's arms and food! Liu Bei had slowly gained a foothold in Jingzhou!

If you want to talk about Cao Cao's biggest enemy in his career in this world, there is no doubt that it is Liu Bin. After all, the Youzhou army is too powerful, and the power of Youzhou is too strong. If you don't cross this mountain, Cao Cao would never want to fight for the world! But in terms of emotion, the person Cao Cao hated the most was not Liu Bin, but Liu Bei and Chen Gong! These two people he trusted and treated them so well before, but they didn't expect that they would hurt themselves behind their backs! The current embarrassing situation in Cao Cao's territory is all caused by the betrayal of Liu Bei and Chen Gong!

If there was no such sentence, Cao Cao would not be so difficult now! Cao Cao would not be so upset! So Cao Cao hated these two people to the core! Since Liu Bei and his friends fled from Xuchang, Cao Cao has been sending people to visit these two people, wanting to see people in their lives and wanting to see corpses! Originally, Cao Cao meant that the two fled in a panic, and he declared these two people rebelled in the name of the court, so their lives would not be easy, but who knew that Liu Bei had signs of making a comeback now, how could Cao Cao not be upset?

Moreover, Cao Cao also knew that although Liu Bei looked nothing great and was defeated repeatedly in wars, he was ambitious and ambitious. Although he did not have any extraordinary talents, he was very good at making friends with talents and winning people's hearts! Liu Bei and Liu Bin were very similar in this regard, but Liu Bei's luck was not as good as Liu Bin, nor was he as amazing as Liu Bin. But he could not be the only one. If he was really given a chance to develop, then Liu Bei would definitely soar into the sky! Maybe there would be another one.

Liu Bin appeared in this world! There was one Liu Bin who had already given Cao Cao a headache. If another one appeared, he wouldn't have finished playing it completely! What's more, although Liu Bin was strong, he did not show obvious ambitions. He seemed to have no intention of fighting for the world. But Liu Bei expressed it very clearly! If Liu Bei was allowed to rise, the threat to Cao Cao might even exceed the threat Liu Bin to him! In a sense, the threat brought by Liu Bei might even exceed Liu Bin! So Cao Cao naturally didn't want to see Liu Bei rise!

The reason why Cao Cao thought so was because of the propaganda image of Ale Youzhou, who believed that Liu Bin was devoted to the country and did not have the idea of ​​fighting for dominance of the world! This was not because Cao Cao was easily deceived, but because his views were different! In his opinion, with Liu Bin's strength, Que Yizi did not take the lead in fighting for other princes to dominate the world, and he really had no ambition! If he had such great strength, he would have started fighting for dominance of the world and attacked those princes! This world might have fallen into his own hands! And the reason why Liu Bin did this was because his real goal. It was not as simple as unifying the world, but his goal was in the whole world! He didn't want to let it go

The entire Han Han was trapped in this endless internal friction. He had the ability to unify the world quickly, but the root cause of chaos in the world could not be completely solved! After unifying the world, there would still be riots. So Liu Bin had to slowly make his own plans! While expanding his strength, while slowly eliminating the root causes that led to chaos in the world, he would unify the world! Retain some resentment for the Han people and lay a solid foundation for himself to conquer the whole world in the future! It is precisely because of the different world views and values ​​that the two people have such a big difference in their ideas. That is why Cao Cao believed that Liu Bin did not have the ambition to unify the world!

Go back to the point! Cao Cao was too upset. He was alone and couldn't think of a good countermeasure, so he brought his two big think tanks to discuss countermeasures. Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai were also aware of the things that Cao Cao was upset recently. After Cao Cao finished speaking, the two of them thought for a while. Xi Zhicai said to Cao Cao first: "Master, Xu You is just a small problem. The laws and regulations of the country are still in the book. Xu You violated the law and is a fact. Just one official can solve the problem. Those other old Yuan Shao subordinates were desperate to surrender to the lord. Xu You still had nowhere to go to the prison. They could only continue to work for the lord."

Cao Cao nodded without saying a word. Cao Cao had already strictly adhered to the law and certainly had no objection to Xi Zhicai's suggestions.

But Cheng Yu stood up and said, "No, after Yuan Shao's old subordinates came to us, they felt that their relatives were not as powerful as their lords, and that they would gather together. After all, they were afraid of being treated unfairly. If we put Xu You in prison at this time, even if our evidence is conclusive, they would still think that there is no reason to be a crime. Since the lord can put Xu You in prison, all the people who are usually called friends will be imprisoned. Then they are even less secure. Moreover, they are not at all left. Yuan Shao got his old subordinates, except for surrendering to us, most of them were until they surrendered to Liu Bin. The general Zhang He and Gao Lan under Liu Bin were once among Yuan Shao's army.

The example is that these old Yuan Shao's subordinates from Jizhou have a certain relationship with the wealthy clans in Jizhou. If they feel a sense of crisis here and surrender to Liu Bin, the blow to us will be too great. And the bad impact of this is even more incalculable. He can not only lay the lord's benevolence for his subordinates, but also follow the public and surrender to Liu Bin, but also give those in the opposition, the lord's strength is not as strong as Liu Bin. Therefore, the lord's subordinates will turn to Liu Bin's bad impression. Therefore, the lord's cancer must be eradicated. But it must not be done by the lord. The lord just needs to call Xu You back and ask questions. Xu You will leave it to his subordinates to solve it."

Cao Cao fully understood what Cheng Yudi said. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not feel depressed. At this time, Cheng Yu took the initiative to ask for orders, and Cheng Yu also fully grasped Cao Cao's intentions. Of course, Cao Cao would not object. The topic of Cheng Yudi was too sensitive, and it touched on the relationship between superiors and subordinates, as well as the solution to dark means. It was really not suitable for Cao Cao to speak out.

Therefore, Cao Cao spoke, "Xu You has committed so many things. I will naturally ask him to come and ask. But at this time, Liu Bin's condemnation of us has a great impact on our reputation. Moreover, Liu Bei's thief is also a potential threat to us, so we must be careful. What do you two think about this?"

Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu were both confidants who had followed Cao Cao for many years. When Cao Cao said this, they all understood Cao Cao's mentality. So these two people no longer mentioned Xu You.

It was Xi Zhicai who spoke to Cao Cao first: "Liu Bin's condemnation to us is definitely a frame-up. The purpose of the lord's missing person notice was to cause Liu Bin's ability to be in our territory, such as your influence. Those capable people who are determined to follow the strong and silence the troubled times gave up following Liu Bin and chose you to surrender. Then Xun Yu and Xun You were forced to come to us, that is Liu Bin's ability, without the lord's high ironclad evidence. Of course, we will not harm Xun Yu and Xun You. Moreover, although the territory of Qingzhou still has all of us in name, it is actually because of the last time.

The reason for the incident has now fallen into the hands of Youzhou! Although Lord Zhong Yao is nominally the governor of Qingzhou, it is indeed in name only! What's more, after Lord Zhong Yao's governance, the bandits in Qingzhou have also been reduced a lot. After the Youzhou army occupied Qingzhou, it was even more vigorously to suppress bandits. How could it be that when Xun Yu, Xun You and the others came there? What's more, the dead bodies left on the ground died too quickly. That was definitely not something that ordinary bandits could do. It was definitely the work of a trained killer. Therefore, this was definitely the means by Liu Bin to deal with the lord's strategy!" To be continued...
