610. Upper, middle and lower three strategies
In Zhu Wei's strategy, Cao Cao is also a chess piece that is temporarily used, and when he is used up, he can naturally be thrown aside.
However, Zhu Wei's side also had some discussions on the issue of Liu Bei's small force in Xuzhou staying in Xuzhou, if Zhu Wei really wanted to seek Xuzhou, it would naturally be impossible to let Liu Bei stay in Xiaopei anymore.
It's just that how to solve Liu Bei, there is no good idea for a while, maybe when Zhu Wei seeks to take Xuzhou in the future, he will forcibly eliminate Liu Bei.
After all, the acquisition of any interests ultimately depends on the competition for military strength.
Perhaps in the future Xuzhou affairs, Zhu Wei still needs to use troops to fight Cao Cao for the territory of Xuzhou, so it is not a problem to solve a Liu Bei by the way.
It's just that I didn't expect Liu Bei to take the initiative to seek an alliance, although he seems to have his own careful thoughts, thinking that he can take the opportunity to get some territory in Xuzhou, but this seems to be Liu Bei himself sent to the door.
Therefore, several military advisors and strategists on Zhu Wei's side felt that they could use Liu Bei's careful thinking to deal with Cao Cao with the help of Liu Bei's careful thinking before they really exposed Chen Deng's identity and intentions.
In this way, after Zhu Wei discussed with Jia Xu, Lu Su, Zhou Yu and others, he also gave Liu Bei an ambiguous answer on the surface, Zhu Wei promised to join forces with Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao's entry into Xuzhou, but how Xuzhou will be divided in the future will be determined in the future.
Zhu Wei even proposed to focus on the choice of the rest of Lu Bu in Xuzhou, and when the time comes, Zhang Liao will be thrown to that side, and that side will control Xuzhou, and now there is no need for the two sides to agree on the division of territory or anything.
Mi Zhu is naturally still a little dissatisfied with this, but the situation is stronger than people, Zhu Wei's strength is completely able to confront Cao Cao, Liu Bei is still dependent on Cao Cao to rest in Xiaopei, what qualifications does Liu Bei have to bargain with Zhu Wei.
However, Zhang Liao actually has an old relationship with Guan Yu under Liu Bei's account, if this is the case, Liu Bei may not have the opportunity to ambush Zhang Liao, anyway, Mi Zhu went back with Zhu Wei's promise, and then soon Liu Bei also gave Zhu Wei a reply, which can be the same as the current agreement.
Of course, what Liu Bei thinks about this, Zhu Wei is naturally not sure, politics is originally deceitful, who can know who is deceiving whom.
It's just that Zhu Wei passed the Three Kingdoms game system, but he didn't feel any change in the pale green luster on Liu Bei's side, and he still maintained the status of an ally for the time being.
Perhaps Liu Bei's conditions through Mi Zhu were just sky-high asking prices, and he originally just hoped that when Cao Cao made a move to Xuzhou, he could get support from Zhu Wei's side, at least so that he could continue to stay in Xiaopei.
As for who will control Xuzhou in the future, Liu Bei has nothing to look forward to.
After this little episode, almost on the third day agreed by Zhu Wei to Lu Bu for three days, Chen Deng finally came to Zhu Wei on behalf of Lu Bu.
Of course, this also gave Chen Deng an opportunity to report to Zhu Wei on the implementation of the strategy, so Zhu Wei gathered several of his military advisors and strategists to listen to Chen Deng's description of the progress of the strategy.
Judging from the current situation, the strategy is still going very smoothly, and after Lu Bu got the three-day deadline from Zhu Wei's side, Chen Deng deliberately offered Lu Bu the upper, middle, and lower strategies.
The best strategy is that Lu Bu can join Yuan Shu to break through from Shouchun to Xuzhou together, so with Lu Bu's martial arts and bravery, coupled with Yuan Shu's Yuan background, the combination of the two sides may be able to join forces, and both sides can benefit from this.
It's just that according to this policy, Lu Bu is completely invested in Yuan Shu's account, maybe Lu Bu can marry Yuan Shu again, and let Lu Bu's daughter marry Yuan Shu's son, so that the two families are tied together, regardless of each other.
Anyway, according to Chen Deng's description to Lu Bu, as long as Lu Bu and Yuan Shu retreated to Xuzhou, Yuan Shu could contact Yuan Shao's rescue, so that Yuan Shu and Lu Bu could gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou, and then Lu Bu would help Yuan Shu lead the army, and Yuan Shu would solve the problem of food and grass materials.
In this way, it may be able to completely change the current dilemma that Lu Bu can fight, but lacks the support of money and food, and Yuan Shu has money and food, but he is not able to lead the army and the general can win the battle.
As for the middle strategy, it is that Lu Bu pretended to seek Yuan Shu's cooperation according to Zhu Wei's intentions, and then deceived Yuan Shu out of Shouchun City in the name of the banquet, or Lu Bu personally brought a small number of soldiers into Shouchun City, looking for an opportunity to kill Yuan Shu.
In this way, Lu Bu can fight against Cao Cao through the assistance of Zhu Wei's side, and completely whitewash Lu Bu's notoriety for his previous counterattack, and Lu Bu can completely say that that action was just to deceive Yuan Shu's strategy.
In this way, Lu Bu can use the action of eliminating the traitors of the puppet emperor to make a name for himself again, seek rewards from the Son of Heaven, and also make Cao Cao no longer have an excuse to launch any attacks and retaliation against Lu Bu, and can also deepen the alliance with Zhu Wei.
Anyway, according to the central policy, Lu Bu can at least keep the current situation unchanged in the future, and at the same time get a good reputation for eliminating thieves for the country.
And the so-called next strategy is to let Lu Bu find Zhu Wei to intercede again, and take advantage of the opportunity when there is a gap between Zhu Wei and Cao Cao to break through and return to Xuzhou on his own, so that he can at least return to Xuzhou to protect himself, and he can also find an opportunity to restore the alliance with Zhu Wei in the future, and then resist Cao Cao's attack.
It's just that whether Zhu Wei is willing to help Lu Bu or not, whether he is willing to give Lu Bu a chance to break through, it is difficult to determine, maybe Lu Bu can use what price to move Zhu Wei.
On the surface, it seems that the three strategies offered by Chen Deng are really for the sake of Lu Bu, even Chen Gong, another military advisor next to Lu Bu, also has a lot of ideas about the upper and middle strategies proposed by Chen Deng, and thinks that they are all feasible strategies.
In fact, this upper and middle strategy are all traps set by Chen Deng against Lu Bu after Jia Xu, Lu Su, Zhou Yu and others discussed together, no matter which one Lu Bu chooses, in the end, Chen Deng will betray Lu Bu after seeing Yuan, and then help Yuan Shu set a trap to kill Lu Bu.
As for the next policy, there is basically no possibility of realizing it, so Chen Deng is just going to come out and make up the numbers.
After listening to Chen Deng's three strategies, Lu Bu was also a little uncertain, and couldn't help but consult with Chen Deng and Chen Gong several times, and Lu Bu's thoughts also changed several times in one or two days.
Until the end, Lu Bu still couldn't make up his mind, whether to choose the best strategy or the middle policy.
But because the three-day time limit given by Zhu Wei could not be delayed for too long, Lu Bu could only make a decision that could be reversed at any time.
That is to ask Chen Deng to find Yuan Shu to talk about the best policy, that is, to persuade Yuan Shu to break through to Xuzhou together with Lu Bu, and then bring Yuan Shao as a helper to regain a foothold in Xuzhou, anyway, this point needs Yuan Shu's consent.
Then Chen Deng went to Zhu Wei's side to say the middle strategy, that is, Lu Bu would find a way to kill Yuan Shu, and then agree with Zhu Wei to take Shouchun City at the same time.
However, whether Lu Bu will use the best strategy or the middle strategy in the end depends on the attitude of Yuan Shu's side and Zhu Wei's side......
