Currently, among the princes, Liu Ke is the strongest, followed by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
But other princes are still very powerful, such as Sun Ce, Ma Chao, etc.
If Sun Ce wants to seize the world, it will be difficult for him to side with Liu Ke.
On the contrary, Ma Chao is easier to win.
In order to seize Liangzhou, Cao Cao summoned Ma Teng to Beijing with evil intentions.
In order to honor the emperor, Ma Teng took the risk and entered Chang'an, handing over military power to Ma Chao.
Therefore, Ma Chao is naturally hostile to Cao Cao and can be fought for.
Ma Chao has always wanted to break into Chang'an and rescue his father.
"But, if Cao Cao is so powerful, how could Ma Chao have a chance?"
We can only rely on Liu Ke¡¯s strength.
So, Liu Ke sent Liu Ye as envoy to Liangzhou.
Liu Ye fulfilled his mission and brought back good news.
"My lord, Ma Chao has agreed that if Chang'an is depleted of troops, he will definitely lead a raid on Chang'an," Liu Ye said.
He returned after a long journey just to report the news as soon as possible.
"Thank you for your hard work," Liu Kedao said.
"Compared to my lord, this is nothing." Liu Ye said modestly.
In this way, Liu Ke is no longer alone.
Even if he is strong enough, it would be nice to have someone behind him to help and shout cheers, right?
"What's the situation in Liangzhou?" Liu Ke asked.
If it was just for the alliance, there would be no need for Liu to send a talent like Liu Ye.
? Among them, inquiring about information is also one of the tasks.
"Actually, the situation in Liangzhou is not good. Han Sui's unclear attitude has become a stumbling block restricting Ma Chao's actions." Liu Ye said.
"It's been so long, hasn't Ma Chao yet defeated Han Sui?" Liu Ke said in surprise.
Liangzhou¡¯s strength is not weak, but it is not integrated.
Ma Teng and Han Sui were sworn brothers in the past, and Han Sui was willing to listen to Ma Teng.
However, Ma Teng entered Chang'an, leaving behind Ma Chao who lacked prestige.
Han Sui was immediately ready to make a move.
In addition, Cao Cao sent people to recruit Han Sui many times and promised benefits, so how could Han Sui not be tempted.
It¡¯s just that Han Sui¡¯s ambitions are even greater, and he is still waiting for a price.
"Han Sui is a treacherous and cunning person who is difficult to deal with. Now he occupies the top of the mountain and won't buy anyone's fault. It's okay that Ma Chao is going well. Once he shows his flaws, Han Sui will definitely stab him in the back." Liu Ye said with certainty.
There is no way around this.
Although Yangzhou¡¯s influence is great, it is too far away from Liangzhou.
"Otherwise, Liu Ke can completely ignore Han Sui, who is a small person.
"Ma Chao has always been courageous and has the style of his father. Since he has agreed to send troops, he will certainly do so, as long as we create conditions for him." Liu Ye said.
Of course Liu Ke knows this, otherwise he would not support Ma Chao.
"If Ma Dai has a certain amount of troops and cooperates with Ma Chao inside and outside, then the certainty will be greater." Liu Kedao.
Speaking of which, Liu Ke and Ma Dai still have some friendship.
"Cao Mengde is suspicious. It's hard to reuse his own people. How could he appoint Ma Dai?" Liu Ye said.
"But it's better to add fire. Anyway, we have nothing to lose." Liu Kedao.
"My lord means"
"Isn't Dong Cheng dead? Emperor Xian lacks strength around him, and Ma Teng can't support him alone. I think there must be someone in the court who wants to increase the power in Ma Teng's hands, and we can take advantage of this." Liu Kedao.
"My lord is wise." Liu Ye admired him.
The next thing will be left to Liu Ye to arrange. Liu Ke is more concerned about the frontal battlefield.
This is the crux of the battle.
After several days of discussion with the group of advisers, Liu Ke failed to come up with a perfect plan.
Then Cheng Yu also came back.
Runan is right on the edge of Yangzhou, but Cheng Yu's mission lasted longer.
In this regard, Liu Ke still needs to understand the situation first.
"My lord, Yuan Shu does not want to participate in the war and will remain neutral." Cheng Yu said.
"Compared to Liu Ye's results, Cheng Yu is far behind.
Yuan Shu relied on Liu Ke's blessing to expand his territory. In this battle, he didn't stand firmly on Liu Ke's side?
This made Liu Ke very disappointed, whether it was Cheng Yu?It's Yuan Shu.
But it¡¯s right to think about it.
Yuan Shu's strength can no longer keep up with the great princes. If he forces a war, he will probably be wiped out.
"Neutrality, is there such a simple thing?" Liu Ke sighed.
"Cao Mengde also sent an envoy, promising not to enter Yuan Shu's territory." Cheng Yu said.
No wonder!
"Did Yuan Gongli tell you personally that he was neutral?" Liu Kedao said.
"This is a letter from Yuan Jiujiao to my lord." Cheng Yu took out a letter and said.
Liu Ke took it apart and took a look. The content inside was very simple, that is, Runan couldn't stand the trouble anymore, and he hoped to get Liu Ke's understanding.
But at the end, he mentioned that if Cao Cao¡¯s army passes through Runan, he will definitely stop it.
Liu Ke sneered at this.
By then, Cao Cao would be unable to protect himself and would have no remaining strength to enter Runan.
Sure enough, the princes are not trustworthy.
Fortunately, Liu Ke had made up his mind from the beginning that Yangzhou would be enemies of all the princes. He made plans based on this, so he never came up with a perfect plan.
Liu Ke will not take any chances.
Liu Ke not only prepared a gift for Cao Cao, but also one for Yuan Shao.
Only a fire at home can make them realize the truth.
"Zhongde, what do you think?" Liu Kedao said.
Cheng Yu has always been a cruel official and decisive in killing.
Yuan Shu doesn¡¯t want to join the war, doesn¡¯t Cheng Yu have any means?
"My lord, I think it would be better if Yuan Jiujiu does not participate in the war." Cheng Yu said.
"How do you say it?" Liu Kedao.
"When we win the war, we can not only capture Yanzhou, but also Yuzhou by the way." Cheng Yu said.
Swallowing two states in one breath?
What a big appetite.
But Liu Ke likes it.
Yuzhou¡¯s forces are scattered and there is nothing to worry about. Once Cao Cao was defeated, Yuzhou seemed to have become a land without one.
As long as Liu Ke sends 100,000 elite troops, it will not be difficult to win.
Perhaps Cheng Yu took this into consideration and did not use any means to force Yuan Shu.
"You are very considerate." Liu Kedao said.
However, Liu Ke still kept an eye on it. The success of this matter depends on whether the war can be won.
For ordinary people, it is an adventure.
"Yuan Shu can still contain Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu without participating in the war." Cheng Yu added.
The existence of Yuan Shu can do a lot for Liu Ke, which is why Liu Ke has never coveted Runan.
To Liu Ke, Runan was just a county, dispensable. The existence of Yuan Shu has a greater effect.
In the past, it could also serve as a buffer between Liu Ke and Cao Cao, but later Liu Ke captured Xuzhou and directly bordered Yanzhou.
"If Yuan Shu doesn't join the war, he won't join the war. I don't care about him." Liu Kedao.
Cheng Yu resigned. He knew that Liu Ke was more Buddhist, so he was not particularly worried about being punished if his mission failed.
Facts have proved that this is right. Liu Ke did not have high expectations, but was just a little surprised.
But after Cheng Yu left, Jia Xu walked in, seeming to have something to report. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
