Every move in Yangzhou is no small matter.
Liu Ke sent Dian Wei to lead his army to help Yuan Shu seize Yuzhou, which attracted the attention of all parties. The threat was great. Of course, the first forces to bear the brunt were Cao Cao and Sun Ce.
Liu Ke¡¯s purpose of helping Yuan Shu was not only to fulfill his previous promise, but also to restrict the development of Cao Cao and Sun Ce.
Cao Cao has already occupied part of Yuzhou. If it weren't for Liu Ke's restraint, he would have taken over the entire Yuzhou long ago.
Sun Ce was even more pitiful. He was trapped in Jingzhou and had no place to go except Yuzhou and Yizhou. However, in order to exit the South China Sea unharmed, Sun Ce and Liu Ke agreed not to leave Jingzhou within three years.
Of course, this is all temporary. Yuzhou has always been the first choice for the two to expand their power. Of course, Liu Ke couldn't let them get their wish, so he launched Yuan Shu.
It is the same as supporting Ma Chao and his son.
Liu Ke did not have enough economic strength, nor did he have enough troops to suppress all the princes, but he had various ways to limit the growth of the princes.
The most ideal situation is that Yuan Shu captures Yuzhou and becomes a buffer for the three major forces.
However, to a certain extent, Yuan Shu was supported by Liu Ke.
Of course Sun Ce and Cao Cao must be suppressed. Not to mention the previous grievances, there is also a dispute of interests in Yuzhou now.
The first one to take action was Sun Ce, who sent Zhou Yu to persuade Liu Bei and raided Yuan Shu's army, achieving good results.
Yuan Shu was defeated and the situation in Yuzhou was unpredictable. Zhang Xiu, a powerful figure in Yuzhou, became the target of wooing by all parties. Liu Ke took the lead and forged a deep friendship with Zhang Xiu.
Seeing that Yuzhou is about to become the younger brother of Dongyang Marquis, how can Cao Cao sit still?
In recent years, Yangzhou¡¯s expansion has never stopped.
??It started with Jiaozhou. At that time, the princes had too much time to take care of themselves and the anti-Dong alliance was still there. Jiaozhou was secretly captured by Dongyang Hou.
Later, feeling that the power of Dongyang Hou was too great, Liu Bei gathered the princes and elected Cao Cao as the leader of the alliance to conquer Yangzhou together.
"It's a pity that the princes all had their own motives and failed. Yuan Shao is not the only one responsible."
The Marquis of Dongyang defeated the Allies, and his path to expansion was unstoppable. He first destroyed Liu Bei and captured Xuzhou.
Everyone thinks that Dongyang Hou¡¯s appetite is just that, sacrificing one Liu Bei to make everyone happy.
In order to suppress Liu Ke's power, Cao Cao deliberately suppressed the position of Xuzhou Mu.
What I didn¡¯t expect was that Kong Rong, a shameless man, would give up Qingzhou.
This nature is very serious.
With Kong Rong¡¯s repeated recommendations, Liu Ke took over the position of governor of Qingzhou.
What can Cao Cao do? If you can't beat them again and again, you might as well sell a good one. Xuzhou Mu and Qingzhou Mu will be distributed to Liu Ke together.
This time Cao Cao also sent five thousand troops, which gave him a lot of glory and bragging rights.
Now Liu Ke is targeting Yuzhou, and he is already in the middle of the forces of Sun Ce and Cao Cao.
It is impossible for Cao Cao to remain silent.
Yuzhou is a small place, with an area only one-third of that of large states such as Yangzhou and Jingzhou, but its geographical location is very important.
"My lord, it is very unwise to send troops at this time." Sima Lang said.
"Can we use force to deal with the Marquis of Dongyang?" Cao Cao asked, and after a pause he said, "We must outsmart him."
Zhou Yu can fool Liu Bei into sending troops, but Cao Cao has no such thugs.
Now, Cao Cao finally understands the importance of his younger brother. Liu Ke has Yuan Shu, and Sun Ce has Liu Bei. Does he want to go into battle naked?
When he thought of his younger brother, Cao Cao suddenly thought of one person, and that was Zhang Xiu.
Wancheng, where Zhang Xiu is located, is the seat of Nanyang County and is very close to Chang'an and Luoyang.
Xinye also belongs to Nanyang County and is subordinate to Yuzhou. After Sun Ce took over this land, due to the agreement, he handed it over to Liu Bei to rule.
Yuan Shu used to be the governor of Nanyang, so he never forgot this place.
Cao Cao¡¯s only advantage in supporting Emperor Xian was his grasp of righteousness. Among the many forces, the only one who has not made a clear stance is Zhang Xiu.
If Zhang Xiu wants to join Dongyang Hou, he must give up Wancheng's interests.
Cao Cao finally calmed down his thoughts and said: "Draw up a decree and ask Zhong Yao to go to Wancheng and canonize Zhang Xiu as the governor of Yuzhou."
Once Zhang Xiu accepts the canonization, it is equivalent to being labeled as Cao Cao's army. Even if Zhang Xiu is not won over, it will still make Dongyang Marquis jealous.
This strategy is like a stroke of genius.
Sima Lang admired him very much and said: "The public is wise! "
On the other side, Liu Bei returned to Xinye after retreating. At this moment, he was very confused.
According to the agreement, he can leave Jingzhou and go to Yizhou.
"Liu Zhang of Yizhou is short-sighted, how can he be worthy of being followed by Duke Xuande?" Zhou Yu said.
Liu Bei thought so when he thought about it. He was so glorious when he was the governor of Xuzhou.
"Xuan Degong is still young, why don't you try your best? Yuzhou is your place!" Zhou Yu said.
"But Dongyang Hou" Liu Bei hesitated.
"There will only be three forces competing in Yuzhou, namely Xuande Gong, Yuan Shu, and Zhang Xiu. Dongyang Marquis will not attack Yuzhou in a large scale, otherwise Dongyang Marquis will not be able to bear it if our alliance revives." Zhou Yu said.
"Didn't Zhang Xiu seek refuge with Marquis Dongyang? Although Yuan Shu was defeated, he will definitely make a comeback with the support of Marquis Dongyang." Liu Bei said, he is not stupid and will not be fooled by Zhou Yu.
"If I were Cao Mengde, I would definitely use Zhang Xiu as an entry point to intervene in Yuzhou affairs." Zhou Yu vowed, "Our goals are the same in dealing with Dongyang Marquis."
Liu Bei thought for a moment, if he teamed up with Zhang Xiu, would he still be afraid of Yuan Shu?
"If Duke Xuande agrees to stay in Yuzhou, I, Jingzhou, will recognize Duke Xuande's status. No matter how much territory you conquer, it will be managed by you yourself. Moreover, we will also provide support secretly." Zhou Yu said.
"What kind of support?" Liu Bei asked.
"Not to mention property and military equipment, we can also secretly send elite soldiers in disguise to help you." Zhou Yu said.
Liu Bei was suddenly moved. Since the Marquis of Dongyang can send soldiers to fight, it is certainly no problem for Jingzhou to secretly use some tricks.
"Aren't you afraid that I will take over Yuzhou?"
"Xuan Degong is joking, even if you capture Yuzhou, you will join us to deal with Dongyang Marquis, right?" Zhou Yu said with a smile, hoping that Liu Bei would capture Yuzhou, so that Dongyang Marquis could be liquidated again.
The target is of course Yuzhou.
But this time is different, Jingzhou will send troops to help Liu Bei, and Cao Cao will be prepared.
It is better to use Yuzhou as the battlefield, better than starting the war in Yanzhou or Jingzhou.
Liu Bei would not think so far-reaching. He just wants to have a territory now, and Yuzhou is just right.
"I can agree to this, but the premise is that Zhang Xiu continues to be Yuan Shu's enemy."
"Okay, keep waiting. Cao Cao's envoy will arrive in Wancheng soon. If Cao Cao didn't have such foresight, there would be no need to fight this battle. We might as well surrender to the Marquis of Dongyang." Zhou Yu said confidently.
The unrest in Yuzhou is already foreseeable. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
