Chapter 584: I don't want to be a long-term worker
The situation in Yanzhou was very unfavorable to Cao Cao, who constantly sent more troops to Yanzhou. However, Cao Cao's troops are only so many, and with the local garrisons, there are not many troops that can be mobilized.
Cao Cao had no choice but to recruit strong men from his rule to fill the army. But this is not a long-term solution, there are many strong men under Cao Cao's rule, but these strong men do not want to die on the battlefield, and the war-weariness is very high. Due to the tight war, Cao Cao couldn't give these strong men too much training, and it is conceivable that these strong men will be cannon fodder even if they go to the battlefield.
When Cao Cao was distressed, Guo Jia brought him a piece of news.
Guo Jia took out a piece of information and said: "My lord, Hei Bingtai has reported that Liu Bei has pacified Runan and quickly stabilized the situation, and now has tens of thousands of troops, and Runan County is firmly controlled in his hands." ”
Cao Cao Daqi, Runan County he knew, it was intricate, all kinds of forces criss-crossed, he had sent a Taishou before, but he was killed. The reason why Liu Bei went over was also to use Runan County to trap Liu Bei, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to be so powerful, he was able to pacify Runan County, and he had such a force.
"Liu Xuande can pacify Runan, there must be someone to help, right?" Cao Cao keenly observed something.
"That's right." Guo Jia said: "Liu Bei had many difficulties when he entered Runan County at the beginning, and he was even besieged by the local forces of Runan County and almost destroyed. But at the critical moment, a military general named Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang saved him. Later, Liu Bei became a brother with him, and Runan County quickly stabilized with the help of Wei Wenchang. ”
"What is the origin of this Wei Wenchang?" Cao Cao is jealous of those who don't know the roots.
Guo Jia also did work in this regard, saying: "The Black Ice Platform has been investigated, Wei Yan's previous origin is unknown, but he suddenly appeared in Runan County more than a year ago, and relied on his personal bravery to be recognized by other forces in Runan County. It can be said that with his existence, Liu Bei can quickly control Runan County. ”
"Why is Liu Bei's luck so good every time, Gu Du calculated him to Runan County, he can still turn over with salted fish!" Cao Cao sighed a little at Liu Bei's luck.
"My lord, Liu Bei's stable position in Runan will have advantages and disadvantages for our army." Guo Jia admonished.
Cao Cao rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Fengxiao, you give an order to Liu Xuande, the Taishou of Runan, and now the imperial court wants to deal with the war in Yanzhou, and let him transfer 20,000 soldiers and horses to help." Well, let both of his righteous brothers come along. Remember, it's Zhang Fei and Wei Yan. ”
"Obey the order!" Guo Jia smiled slightly, and Cao Cao still understood his thoughts all of a sudden.
As long as there are no troops and Zhang Fei and Wei Yan are transferred, Liu Bei will not be able to distinguish Runan County even if he is a dragon. Maybe he will die in Runan County.
Guo Jia immediately wrote an order and sent someone to send it to Runan County as soon as possible.
When Liu Bei received Cao Cao's order, his face turned pale.
Liu Bei was originally complacent about his own strength, and secretly planned whether he should send troops to Yingchuan County, capture that place rich in talents and products, and then sit and watch Liu Yu and Cao Cao's death match in Yanzhou, and finally make a profit for himself.
But this beautiful vision was extinguished. Cao Cao actually wanted to transfer his 20,000 troops and two righteous brothers, which would kill him.
Liu Bei hurriedly summoned all his henchmen to discuss countermeasures. The level of Jian Yong Mizhu and others is also like that, and it is very difficult to come up with a solution to this matter.
"Lord, I'm just a little learned. Leave it to the Lord to decide. Jian Yong, Mi Zhu and others directly admitted that they had no choice. Cao Cao does things without leakage, and in the name of the Son of Heaven for this order, if Liu Bei does not obey, he will resist the order. The dignified uncle of the Han Emperor actually resisted and disobeyed the order, which was very unfavorable to Liu Bei.
For this, they know, and Liu Bei knows even more. Liu Bei just couldn't think of a way to find them, and he didn't expect them to kick the ball back to Liu Bei. For the first time, Liu Bei felt how lacking the scribes around him were in terms of resourcefulness.
"Can it only be used by Cao Cao's guy like this?" Liu Bei was so distressed that he didn't ask Zhang Fei and Wei Yan anymore, the literati couldn't think of a solution, and the two generals couldn't count on it.
Zhang Fei sat there without saying a word, and he couldn't think of what to do. If he simply turned against Cao Cao with his intentions, Liu Bei would not agree, so he didn't say anything.
Wei Yan suddenly came out and said, "Big brother, little brother has an idea. ”
"Wen Chang, you have something to say, let's read it together." Liu Bei said softly, but he didn't have much hope.
"Big brother, Cao Cao's name is Han Xiang, and he is really a Han thief. Such an order this time must have been forced by Cao Cao to the Son of Heaven. How can the eldest brother, as the uncle of the Han Emperor, turn a blind eye. Wei Yan first made his position clear, his side is the righteous side. The order of the Son of Heaven was forged by Cao Cao and did not count at all.
Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, he was the emperor's uncle of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao despised himself so much, it was simply an insult to the Han.
Wei Yan continued: "The eldest brother has always been loyal to the imperial court and has paid so much. How did Cao Cao treat his eldest brother. From Xuchang to Xuzhou, then from Xuzhou to Shouchun, and finally to Runan. Cao Cao has always used and feared the eldest brother, if the eldest brother continues to obey Cao Cao's orders, then in the end, there will be no way back. Could it be that the eldest brother is willing to help Cao Cao Bai do a long job? ”
Liu Bei's face changed, Wei Yan was right, he was doing his best for the imperial court, but Cao Cao had always used him, if it weren't for his strength and luck, he wouldn't know how many times he would have died.
"Wen Chang is right!" Zhang Fei agrees.
The other strategists were thoughtful.
"Cao Cao is treacherous and has repeatedly framed me. No matter what, Cao Cao is so unkind and unjust, and I, Liu Bei, can't sacrifice the lives of my brothers and sisters for him in vain. Then in the opinion of the virtuous brother. How do I do it for my brother? Liu Bei said with interest.
Zhang Fei said loudly: "Big brother, this is long overdue. I've seen Cao Cao's black guy unpleasant! ”
"Rather than being suppressed by Cao Cao in Runan, it is better to leave here. Step into a new world! Wei Yan said suspiciously.
Liu Bei shook his head, Wei Yan said this very easily, but it was unrealistic, and said: "The world is so big, where is my place to live?" ”
Wei Yan arched his hand and said, "Big brother's words are wrong! Right now, there is really a big world that is opening the door for the big brother! ”
"Where!?" Liu Bei asked.
"Jingzhou! The land of Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng! Wei Yan said the final answer.
