Chapter 312: Pull a hair and move the whole body
Liu Yu quickly occupied Wancheng, terrifying the princes. The princes were worried that Liu Yu, who had cultivated for so long, would march on them next, especially Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao, who bordered Liu Yu.
Yuan Shao was afraid that Liu Yusheng would attack the west, so he deployed heavy troops on the border with Liu Yu to prevent Liu Yu's surprise attack.
Yuan Shao even summoned his henchmen, and Guo Tu, who performed very well last time, also returned to Yuan Shao's core leadership team. Yuan Shao and the others discussed a result, that is, if Liu Yu did not use troops on Yuan Shao's side, then Yuan Shao would take advantage of Liu Yu's troops to send troops and annex the state. Bingzhou is not as good as before, and the area north of the Yellow River is also protected from the effects of war because it is under Liu Yu's rule. Liu Yu was also a prince who treated the people well, so the life of the people in the state was much better than that of the people in the northern states except for Liu Yu's territory. Yuan Shao had long been preparing to take advantage of Liu Yu's unpreparedness to capture and unify the north in one fell swoop.
Yuan Shao also discussed a detailed attack plan with the strategists, but Guo Tu stared at Yuan Shao without turning his eyes. Yuan Shao was good to Guo Tu, and Guo Tu secretly regretted why he had to succumb to Liu Yu in the first place, and kept the handle for Liu Yu to grasp. Guo Tu really wants to confess to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao may forgive himself, but the judges and others who are not in harmony with him will definitely fall into the ground, not to mention that Guo Tu's own life is not guaranteed, and the soldiers of the Yingchuan faction will also be unlucky, after thinking about it for a long time, Guo Tu can only go all the way to the dark.
Yuan Shao had just finished discussing the relevant plan, and before he could start preparation, Guo Tu sent the plan to Liu Yu in its entirety.
Cao Cao suddenly found that Liu Yu's 100,000-strong army was entrenched behind him, and he frantically mobilized his troops and horses to prevent Liu Yu's attack. Before understanding Liu Yu's true intentions, Cao Cao did not dare to move, so as not to fall into Liu Yu's conspiracy.
Liu Biao in Jingzhou reacted and acted the most. Knowing that Zhang Xiu surrendered Kaicheng, he gave Wancheng to Liu Yu, and was appointed by Liu Yu as the guard of Wancheng.
Zhang Xiu is nominally Liu Biao's subordinate, Wancheng was also given to him by Liu Biao, he also eats the grain and grass provided by Liu Biao, and uses the weapons and armor provided by Liu Biao. Thinking of this, Liu Biao's heart was like being cut by a sharp knife.
Liu Biao couldn't suffer such a big loss, he had originally prepared aid soldiers and horses from all over Jingzhou, and now Wancheng is occupied by Liu Yu, Liu Yu can go south to Jingzhou at any time, and then Liu Biao can only confront Liu Yu across the river. Liu Biao must respond, if he does not respond, then the princes of the world will treat him as a weak waste, and then anyone may bite him. Liu Biao's subordinates are not monolithic, and he must maintain his dignity and status from being threatened. Liu Biao beat like chicken blood, gathered all the troops in one place, and personally took command and killed Wancheng.
Liu Yu saw this posture and smiled slightly, Liu Biao is here to send him to death.
Yuan Shu, who was originally confronting Liu Biao in Nanyang, saw that Liu Biao actually ignored him and turned his head to deal with Liu Yu. How could Yuan Shu let go of such a good opportunity. As a result, Yuan Shu increased his military input in Nanyang and expanded his influence in Nanyang. Yuan Shu's ambition was very great, he was ready to give Liu Biao a ruthless blow, and even sent an envoy to Liu Yu, hoping to unite with Liu Yu and kill Liu Biao together.
Liu Yu didn't expect Yuan Shu to have such a mind, and he actually wanted to join forces with him to kill Liu Biao.
Liu Yu originally wanted to refuse, but the newly joined Jia Xu put forward his own opinion.
Jia Xu suggested that Liu Yu promise to unite with Yuan Shu and destroy Liu Biao together. Let Yuan Shu believe it and attack Liu Biao. If this news is leaked to Liu Biao again, Liu Biao will definitely choose to withdraw from the army under the horror of Liu Biao, and even recognize Liu Yu's legal rights to Wancheng. In the end, I sat back and watched Liu Biao and Yuan Shu fight, and came out to pick peaches at the most critical time.
Jia Xu's strategy is very suitable for Liu Yu's taste, and he immediately follows Jia Xu's strategy.
Liu Yu met with Yuan Shu's envoy and expressed his willingness to unite with Yuan Shu to destroy Liu Biao together. In order to be more realistic, Liu Yu also opened his mouth and demanded that half of Nanyang's land and population be handed over to him.
Yuan Shu's envoy did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned to Yuan Shu's side to feed back Liu Yu's news to his lord. Yuan Shu did not doubt it and directly agreed to Liu Yu's request. Yuan Shu felt that as long as Liu Biao's main force was killed, then Jingzhou would be very weak, and Yuan Shu could drive straight into Jingzhou, and the small half of Nanyang would be given to Liu Yu.
After Liu Yu got Yuan Shu's reply, he quietly sent someone to tell Liu Biao the news.
When Liu Biao heard the news, he was frightened. If Liu Yu and Yuan Shu are really united, then he has no chance of winning at all.
When Liu Biao was at a loss, Liu Yu's messenger came to him with Liu Yu's kindness.
The envoy expressed Liu Yu's respect for Liu Biao and handed over a letter from Liu Yu.
After reading the letter, Liu Biao breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Yu said in the letter that he and Liu Biao are both descendants of Gaozu, and it is really unwise to be in the same room at the moment. Liu Yu advised Liu Biao to stop the war and get back together. And Liu Yu also apologized for sending troops to Wancheng. If Liu Biao cares very much about Liu Yu occupying Wancheng, then for the sake of the same sect, Liu Yu will return Wancheng to Liu Biao completely.
Liu Biao didn't believe that Liu Yu would return Wancheng to him at all, as long as Liu Yu didn't unite with Yuan Shu, Liu Biao would be thankful.
Liu Biao replied to a letter from Liu Yu, expressing his willingness to cede Wancheng to Liu Yu, and at the same time Liu Biao euphemistically expressed his jealousy of Yuan Shu, hoping that Liu Yu could look at the same sect and not mix the matter between him and Yuan Shu. For the sake of prudence, Liu Biao wanted to sign an agreement with Liu Yu, but of course this was kept secret. This is also Liu Biao's attempt to prevent Liu Yu from going back on his word, leaving a little evidence, if he is caught, he can also stab Liu Yu in a chrysanthemum.
Such a good thing, of course Liu Yu would not object, and signed a secret agreement with Liu Biao, ready to sell Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu thought that it was a sure thing to unite with Liu Yu to carve up Nanyang, and the lord attacked Liu Biao's army.
Liu Biao has no worries, and he works hard with Yuan Shu.
Liu Yu watched Liu Biao and Yuan Shu fight, and was so happy that he died. However, he didn't have time to watch this battle now, he had to secretly move his troops to Bingzhou and beat down Yuan Shao, who dared to calculate himself.
