Chapter 223 Cao Cao's Delusion
"What's wrong with the lord!" Guo Jia was very confused. Cao Cao had been holding the desk for a long time. He closed his eyes, and his expression on his face was sometimes happy and sometimes frowned. What's the situation?
Guo Jia didn't care about any respect and snatched the document from Cao Cao. After looking at it, his expressions and Cao Cao became the same!
The information states that Jiangxia and Zhou Yu's naval army were defeated and dumplings were made from behind by Jingzhou naval army. The 30,000 main naval army lost more than 5,000, and only more than 20,000 were left. In desperation, they had to escape from the war and fled. Jiangxia was occupied by Liu Biao again.
You should know that Liu Biao had been suppressed by Sun Ce before. Even if Zhou Yu had only 30,000 naval troops, he was not afraid of the 70,000 naval troops in Jingzhou. But now he was defeated. The one who made contributions here was the weapon of the Lu Bu army. This time, it could not be concealed. Before, Sun Ce's army and Lu Bu army started a war outside the Dazhai of Wancheng. Everyone thought that the Ganning naval army would be defeated, so they did not send any spies. However, they did not expect that Ganning would win and still won a great victory, and directly sent 30,000 Jiangdong troops into the bottom of the river! That battle was a shame for Sun Ce's army, so Sun Ce's army would not promote the incident of Ganning naval army's crossbow, and Ganning did not want to reveal it, and there was not much news, so there was no news from the spies of the major princes.
But now it’s different. Liu Biao in Jingzhou defeated Zhou Yu’s navy in Jiangxia. Who is Zhou Yu? He is the Mei Zhou Lang of Jiangdong, the second-ranked figure of Jiangdong Army. It can be said that without Zhou Yu, there would be no Jiangdong. But now such a person has been defeated and lost a battalion of naval forces escaped from Jiangxia in a panic. How could Liu Biao in Jingzhou not promote it?
This is the first big victory since the war between Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Sun Ce in Jiangdong. He has been under pressure before. Fortunately, Lu Bu shared the pressure of Liu Biao, otherwise Jiangdong would have been defeated. Now, he is proud and won! Although Zhou Yu did not lose much, he drove Zhou Yu out of Jiangxia and recovered Jiangxia. This is victory. Liu Biao naturally had to make a big fuss. Tell the surrounding princes who were eyeing him that Liu Biao in Jingzhou is not easy to mess with. The most important thing is to warn Cao Cao, so Cao Cao's spies can get the power of the crossbow in such detail!
"Three hundred steps. Directly penetrate the building ship. Five arrows can be shot in a row!" Cao Cao was trembling with the information in his hand! He was happy before that because he got the information of this weapon. He trembled and frowned, because this kind of thing was not in his hands. What if someone used it to deal with him, Cao Cao!
"Send people! Go quickly. Go to Lujiang and find Lu Bu! We also need this kind of weapon!" Cao Cao came back to his senses and shouted immediately. If this kind of thing is in his own hands, then the Yuan Shao army on the Yellow River is still threatening now! He sent them to the bottom of the Yellow River one by one, and he still had to worry about so many soldiers and horses of Yuan Shao! As long as he had a navy army, he could block Yuan Shao's army directly in Hebei!
"Yes!" Guo Jia nodded, and he was also shocked by this thing. The envoy of Cao Cao's army was sent out overnight.
"Fengxiao, why don't you use this Lu Bu army in Xuzhou if you say that it has such a powerful weapon?" Cao Cao was really confused. If Lu Bu had such a thing and put more than a dozen or twenty on the city wall in Xuzhou, Cao Cao would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and the final victory or defeat would be a big deal.
"I can't understand!" Guo Jia shook his head. If this is the case, there are only two possibilities! First, this weapon is fake!" This assumption is impossible, because now Liu Biao has been widely publicized, how can it be fake? Zhou Yu was defeated there. It is impossible for these two companies to join forces to make fakes! "The second is what he has only after losing Xuzhou!" This is the most reliable. If there were any, he would have moved to the city wall long ago!
With Chen Gong's personality, I'm really sorry for his hatred for Cao Cao if he doesn't create a thousand eight hundred!
"It can only be the second possibility!" Cao Cao was not a fool either. He also realized that it was Lu Bu who lost Xuzhou and such a powerful weapon appeared!
"But who built this thing for Lu Bu!" Cao Cao did not give up on the spy on Lu Bu's intelligence because Cao Cao was afraid of Lu Bu! There were only a few generals of Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Zang Ba, and Zhang Liao. These three people were not knowledgeable at first sight. They were experts in fighting. If you let them invent it, it would really make things difficult for them~! Chen Gong has been ruled out by Cao Cao. He has a strong strategy on the public platform, but he is not good at this kind of mechanism. There are also the newly joined Huang Zhong and Xu Sheng. These people don't look like people who can create mechanisms!
There was only one. Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked at each other and said in unison, "Liu Mang and Liu Hanyang!" Cao Cao could no longer think of other people with Guo Jia, and only this Liu Mang was the person who was inconceivable and invisible to Guo Jia and Cao Cao. He seemed to have emerged out of nowhere! He also seemed to have to fight Cao Cao. He saved Lu Bu in Xia Pi and used a trick to deceive the city wall, almost killing Lao Cao. He helped Lu Bu escape from the trap in Kaiyang and made Lao Cao so angry that he smoked over his head. This offensive and defensive battle in Wancheng was also hosted by Liu Mang and Liu Hanyang. You say he is a scholar! This man actually put on armor and went into battle. You say he is a general! His martial arts are so bad.
But since Lu Bu had such a character, Liu Mang seemed to be everywhere, and only this character could create such a thing! Guo Jia remembered that the things that Bingzhou wolf cavalry that he got outside Kaiyang City were originally not available to Lu Bu's army, but this Liu Mang had it after he appeared.
"This person is the enemy!" Guo Jia calmed down and said. This person had already brought a sense of threat to Guo Jia. Sun Ce from Jiangdong attacked him but failed to break through the city of Wancheng. If he guessed that this weapon was also built by him, it would be really terrible!
"This person is a great talent!" Cao Cao also sighed. Although Liu Mang and Liu Hanyang made Lao Cao want to kill him with one sword, he has to say that this person is a talent. The Lu Bu army is much stronger than him in martial arts, and several times more powerful than Chen Gong, but this person has unified the entire Lu Bu army. "Is it possible for Liu Hanyang to serve me?" Cao Cao still loves talents. If he gets Liu Mang and Liu Hanyang, Cao Cao believes that his great cause of unification will be at least ten years less!
"Lord, lord! You still don't give up!" Guo Jia was a little amused. This lord is good in other places, but two places are not good. The first is suspicion. He is too suspicious of people. He would rather kill three thousand people than let one go! The second is love talent. Cao Cao's love talent has reached a crazy level. No matter whether you have virtue or not, he dares to use it only if you have talent, even if you have weird hearts! For example, Zhang Miao, Liu Xun and others. Cao Cao doesn't know the ideas of these people! But he lets them use them to use their remaining energy and finally solve them!
"This King of Shu is Lu Bu's son-in-law, son-in-law!" Guo Jia reminded Cao Cao that the King of Shu was still discussing with Liu Mang with Cao Cao. He originally planned to disgust Lu Bu and make Lu Bu suspicious of Liu Mang. But who knew that Lu Bu seemed to have changed his personality and took care of Liu Mang more, and he didn't mind that his son-in-law's official position was higher than him. He might have made great contributions to the master.
"What's wrong with the son-in-law? If he is willing to marry his orphan, he can marry his orphan daughter to him!" Cao Cao said without mind. He was planning to use his daughter to leave Liu Mang but Liu Mang didn't take that trick!
"Hey!" Guo Jia was almost powerless. "My lord is still a relative of the Han Dynasty! Do you think you are really a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty?" Guo Jia's words suddenly made Cao Cao silent. Yes, Liu Mang is still in the name of a relative of the Han Dynasty. His surname is Liu, but he is not the other surname. To be honest, Cao Cao was also very confused. He has been wandering around the loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and replaced him.
Being a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty was Cao Cao's will since childhood. He wanted to help the Han Dynasty expand its territory outside the border and be famous for thousands of histories! He did not want to be Wang Mang, which can be seen from Cao Cao's attitude towards the Han Emperor after he welcomed the Han Emperor to Xudu. Every time there was a big event, he would definitely ask the Han Emperor to discuss it. The two of them were intimate and even had to talk at night. The Han Emperor personally slipped on Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also helped the Han Emperor comb his hair. It can be said that he showed the relationship between the ministers and the king to the depths. However, what happened later made Cao Cao stop because the Han Emperor was seizing power. From all aspects and angles, he began to no longer be transparent to Cao Cao. He began to plot against Cao Cao and wanted to pull Cao Cao into his trap step by step. He was too impatient, but what kind of person Cao Cao was? The Han Emperor could only be regarded as a little fox who had not seen the world, while Cao Cao had already become an old fox.
You can see the idea of Emperor Han at a glance. Emperor Han is also great, and it is good to have ambition! But you have to take it slowly! It’s not that Cao Cao cannot delegate power. You kindly say to Cao Cao, tell Cao Cao that Cao might have given it, but he took power on his back and shocked Cao Cao. What made Cao Cao the most frightened was that Emperor Han took his own initiative to appoint his own people without any scruples and wanted to undermine himself!
What is he trying to do! He wants to kill the donkey! Not to mention Cao Cao himself, even if Cao Cao is willing, the gang under his command will not be willing to die. One day, the emperor and one minister are the iron rule. They can be valued under Cao Cao's command and enjoy wealth and honor, but after becoming the Emperor of Han! Not to mention whether wealth and honor can be saved, even if their lives are not guaranteed, they will be safe. The birds are full of good bows.
Cao Cao fought back and took only a few days to strip the little Han Emperor of China to barely have all his power. His confidants were also killed and demoted by Cao Cao. Now Cao Cao became a treacherous minister! You must know that if Cao Cao was a treacherous minister, how could he be able to welcome the Emperor of China? You must know that even if he was closest to the Emperor of China, Liu Biao, the uncle of Liu in Jingzhou, who was closest to the Emperor of China, did not save his nephew. Cao Cao personally took the army to welcome the Emperor of China back. But no matter how many good things you do, you will become a bad person as long as you do something bad!
Cao Cao had no choice but to become a treacherous minister and Wang Mang! If the Han Emperor was Liu Mang, maybe they could really make some good words from the king and the ministers! At least Lu Bu would have had a peace talk with him! With the assistance of Cao Cao and Lu Bu, the world could really be unified again!
"Fengxiao, how about you saying that you would welcome the King of Shu back to replace Liu Xie now!" Cao Cao stopped calling the Emperor of Han, but directly called Liu Xie!
"Lord, you are crazy!" Guo Jia hurriedly stopped and made Liu Mang the emperor? Abolish Liu Xie, unless Cao Cao really wants to be beaten by everyone, he really doesn't want to live. There are a few people who have a good ending. The most recent one is Dong Zhuo, who deposed Liu Bian. Although the will left by Emperor Ling of Han at that time, others don't buy it! Dong Zhuo was finally lit a sky lantern, and it burned it for three days and three nights without extinguishing! The Dong family was also slaughtered the three tribes! Now the only one who can find the bloodline of the Dong family is left by Empress Dong in Henan!
Once Cao Cao deposed Liu Xie, he would give the princes around him an excuse, just like Yuan Shu, he was completely looking for death! Even some princes who did not want to be enemies with Cao Cao would have to raise flags to oppose Cao Cao, because they all claimed to be loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty!
"Haha! I'm just talking about it!" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia's excited expression and shook his head quickly, abandoning this unrealistic idea! (To be continued...)
