Three Kingdoms: The identity of the financial owner behind the scenes was exposed by Cao Cao

Chapter 197 The dream was shattered by Cao Yuan’s hand, and Liu Bei went crazy!!!

Xiangyang, prefecture pastoral prefecture.

Inside the main hall.

Liu Bei gathered the generals to give lectures and prepared to send troops into Shu.

Not long ago, Liu used Zhuge Liang’s scheme to successfully hook up with Zhang Song, who was driving Yizhou through Jingzhou.

The two talked happily and hit it off.

After Zhang Song returned to Shu, he persuaded Liu Zhang to invite Liu Bei into Shu to help him fight against Zhang Lu, who was constantly invading the south.

Now Liu Zhang’s envoy Meng Da has led 3,000 Shu soldiers and countless salutes of labor to the White Emperor City, waiting to welcome Liu Bei into Shu.

“With Zhang Song Mengda as an internal response, the lord will be able to easily take Yizhou when he enters Shu this time.”

“If the lord has Jingyi Erzhou, he can send a general from Xinye to the north and take Xuchang directly, and the lord can personally lead an army out of Qinling and directly take Chang’an.”

“The two armies of the Northern Expedition, the east and west echo, why worry can’t restore the rivers and mountains and revive the Han Dynasty!”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and painted a blueprint for Liu Bei.

Liu Bei laughed loudly, and finally came out of the shadow of Xu Du’s defeat, saw the Zhongxing Han Room, and realized his hope of great deeds.

“Lord, Cao Cao is now in Ye City, and the siege is imminent.”

“According to this, the capture of Hebei by Cao Thief is imminent, and there is not much time left for the lord to take the land of Shu, and the lord enters Shu this time, and it is necessary to fight a quick victory.”

Li Yan, who was both civil and martial, poured cold water on Liu Bei.

Liu Bei’s smile disappeared, and his face couldn’t help but cast a shadow, looking at Zhuge Liang: “Cao Thief’s soldiers are strong and strong, and with that Cao Yuan assisting, Yuan Shang should be very clear that he can’t keep Ye City.” ”

“Liang expected that Yuan Shang would definitely abandon Ye City, retreat to Youzhou, restart the Yijing defense line left by Gongsun Zhan, back to Youzhou, and hold on to the danger.”

“Back then, Yuan Shao attacked Yijing, but it took a year, and Yuan Shang was no longer good, and he held it for three or five months, so it should not be a problem.”

“This time is enough for the lord to take Yizhou.”

“As long as the Lord has the two prefectures of Jingzhou, the Gu of the Qinling Mountains in the west, and the danger of Hanshui in the east, even if Cao Cao swallows Hebei and takes the troops of the north to the south, we also have the confidence to fight with Cao Thief!”

Zhuge Liang’s feather fan gestured between the maps, and after some analysis, Li Yan’s concerns were dispelled.

Liu Bei’s face turned gloomy, and he nodded: “What the military master said is reasonable, then Yuan Shang is wasted, and he dragged Cao Thief for three or five months, he should not be——”

“Hebei Jiubao——”

The guards held up the war report and broke into the lobby, interrupting Liu Bei’s confidence.

“Lord Qiyu, the northern urgent report, Cao Cao has captured Ye City, killed Yuan Shang, and the four prefectures of Hebei have spread the word.”

“That Cao Cao is already in Yecheng, announcing the accession to the throne of Wei!”

It was as if a thunder slammed into the lobby.

Liu Bei’s figure shook, his brain buzzed, and he was instantly stunned.

Li Yan, Huang Zhong and other Jingzhou heroes were all shocked.

Even if it was Zhuge Liang, the feather fan in his hand shook, and a surprise flashed in his eyes.

Just a moment earlier, their rulers had confidently decided that it would take Cao Cao five months to take Hebei.

In the blink of an eye, a shocking battle report hit them in the face.

“Even if Yuan Shang’s talent is mediocre, he won’t be so unbearable, and he didn’t even hold on for a month…”

Zhuge Liang’s brows were deep, and deep suspicion swept in his eyes.

Liu Bei also sobered up and asked, “What means did Cao Thief use to break through Ye City so quickly and take Hebei?” ”

The guards took apart the war report and read it in public.

Poisoning seven thousand war horses, flooding Ye City, intercepting Yuan Shang…

In the war report, Cao Yuan’s various ingenious schemes were written down in detail.

In the lobby, the uproar turned into dead silence.

Li Yan and other military generals all gasped, marveling at Cao Yuan’s wisdom, and Liu Bei’s face became more and more ugly, and gradually changed from shock to anger.

“Cao Yuan, it’s this Cao Yuan again, disrupting my overall layout, hate~~”

Liu Bei struck the case with his fist, and he hated it so much that he gritted his teeth.

Cao Yuan’s clever plan helped Cao Cao capture Yecheng ahead of schedule, which meant that they lost five months of precious time to enter Shu.

Once Cao Cao learned that Liu Bei had led his army into Shu, he would quickly return to the division and go south to Jingzhou.

In order to keep Jingzhou’s basic plate, he could only return to his division to reinforce Jingzhou and seek Shu land, but his dream of seeking Shu land was shattered by Cao Yuan, and Liu Bei could not be angry.

Inside the lobby, there was a sigh.

“Military Master, what should I do now?”

Liu Bei’s helpless gaze could only look at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and was silent.

After a long time, a cold glint of determination flashed in his eyes.

“By now, it is no longer realistic to capture Shudi.”

“Liang thought that we should immediately form an alliance with Sun Ce and agree to divide the Central Plains at the same time with the Northern Expedition.”

“The lord should take Xuchang’s troops north with all his troops from Jingzhou, while Sun Ce led Jiangdong’s troops out of Hefei to capture Shouchun.”

“We must do our best to capture the Central Plains while Cao Thief has just captured Hebei and has not had time to calm people’s hearts.”

“Otherwise, once Cao Cao integrates the four prefectures of Hebei and takes the entire northern army to the south, we will not be able to compete with the troops of the two prefectures of Jingyang!”

“The Northern Expedition must begin immediately!”

Zhuge Liang’s expression was extremely firm, waving the feather fan, offering Liu Bei a strategy, Liu Bei nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice: “The military master is reasonable, we must not give Cao Thief time to pacify Hebei, and sending troops to the Northern Expedition now is our only chance to destroy Cao Thief.” ”

For a while, the blood of the generals was ignited, and the mood changed from shock to impassioned.

Zhuge Liang said, “However, before the Lord Commander can go to the Northern Expedition, there is an important thing that needs to be done first. ”

“Something important, what?”

Liu Beihu looked at Zhuge Liang suspiciously.

Zhuge Liang stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed deeply to Liu Bei: “Liang represents all the people of the world, and I ask the Lord to take the throne as the King of Han and continue the Han unification, so as to call on the benevolent people in the world who have the Han family in their hearts to fight down Cao Thief and restore the Great Han Society!” ”

Cao Cao had already claimed the title of king, and he wanted to persuade Liu Bei to follow suit, and also to claim the title of king.

As soon as Zhuge Liang took the lead, Li Yan, Huangzhong and the others immediately agreed, got up with a bang, and followed the persuasion.

Liu Bei looked at the persuaded people in amazement, and he was at a loss for a while.

I panicked for a long time.

The corner of Liu Bei’s eyes quietly swept over with an imperceptible ecstasy.
