Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 544

"Lao Gong, as long as you help us figure out a way, you can spend this money! Treat it as your private money!"

Chen Gong pondered for a moment, took out a handkerchief, wiped the gold, and put it in his pocket.

"Okay! With the stimulation of money, the subordinate has a flash of inspiration!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei was overjoyed!

"Say it!"

The corners of Chen Gong's mouth curled up, and under the gaze of everyone, he spoke slowly.

"His Caoying steam car is awesome, but it's only in the plains! And that steamboat is awesome, it's just in the water!"

"As long as we are not on the plains and in the water in the future, Cao Ying will not be able to do anything to us! What do you think, my lord?"

Liu Bei was stunned, he didn't understand what Chen Gong said.

"Not in the water and not on the ground? You mean throw me into ashes? Or bury me?"

Chen Gong waved his hands again and again.

"No, no, no! I mean... go to a place with many mountains! My lord, look, the land of Xishu... how about it?"

"The land of Bashuchuan is full of mountains! It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the land is fertile! I mean if...if we can't sustain Cao Ying's attack, I think we can withdraw there!"

"When the time comes to face the steep mountains, Cao Ying is absolutely helpless! He can only stare at us! This way we can recuperate!"

"This...is the best way I can think of! We can learn from the former Qin Dynasty and use Shu as a base to attack and expand to places like Chang'an in Xiliang, and deter the Central Plains from now on!"

Liu Bei nodded thoughtfully. As Chen Gong said, Bashu has natural dangers!

Yizhou's defense is stronger than any other state, because there are too many dangerous roads in the mountains.

It is difficult to conquer Yizhou!

As long as a small amount of troops are ambushed on those trails, one man will be able to guard the gate and ten thousand men will be left alone!

Moreover...there is rich in resources, and under the management of the pre-Qin period, the agricultural productivity was extremely strong.

As long as you occupy this place, you can definitely have a safe place to stay.

No matter how powerful Cao Ying is, he can't fly from the sky to beat me Liu Bei, right?

"Gongtai, our buttocks haven't warmed up here in Jingzhou, you let me prepare to run to other places... Isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

Liu Bei cursed with a smile, he really doesn't have much confidence in Jingzhou!

If there is no steamboat, he can use the waters of the Yangtze River to compete with Cao Ying.

But after seeing how powerful that thing was, he was at a loss.

"My lord's words are wrong. This is called planning for a rainy day! Of course, I'm not talking about going to Sichuan now. There are many outstanding people in Jingzhou. We need to get them all!"

"When we have a team, even if we go to Sichuan, we will have confidence, don't you think so?"

Liu Bei nodded his head in agreement, and Chen Gong continued.

"My subordinates have already found some celebrities, such as Shi Guangyuan, Meng Jian, Cui Jun, Huang Chengyan, etc. I will take my lord to visit them tomorrow!"

"With their assistance, the lord will feel much more at ease!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed and hugged Chen Gong heavily.

"Gongtai, you are really my right-hand man! By the way, you said that we will send a secret agent to Caoying to find out how to make steamboats and carts, okay?"

Hearing this, Chen Gong smiled wryly and shook his head directly to refuse.

"No! I tried it a long time ago, and none of the spy scouts I sent out can come back! Bandit Cao is more careful than anyone else about such heavy weapons!"

"The public platform, you said, we secretly poached a few craftsmen, what do you think...? Under the heavy money, there must be villains. I don't believe that money can't be tempted!"

"My lord! It won't work either! A craftsman is paid more than our brothers... Why should we tempt them? They can still tell the difference after a full meal."

After being explained by Chen Gong, Liu Bei fell silent.

If his [-] gold is still there, maybe some artisans who are not afraid of death will really take risks, not necessarily!

It's a pity...he has no money!Make bricks without straw.

"Could it be... we can only watch Cao Cao grow bigger? There is nothing we can do?"

Liu Bei was a little indignant, and he punched the pillar, feeling very unwilling.

Chen Gong suddenly remembered something, and took out a letter from his bosom.

"My lord! Let me show you! This may be our opportunity to bring down Cao Cao!"

"Cao Bandit is so powerful that we alone may not be able to bring him down, but...we are not the only ones who want him to be brought down!"

Liu Bei took the letter curiously, opened it...and found that it was from Guojiu Dong Cheng, he couldn't help shaking his head.

"What is this guy writing to me for? I don't know him very well!"

After Liu Bei finished reading it, he was pleasantly surprised!

After showing the letter to Guan Yu and the others, the brothers looked at each other and nodded heavily.

"Brothers, do you want to do it? Do you want to take a gamble?"

"Brother! Bet! Anyway, we are in Jingzhou, even if the matter fails, Cao Cao has no time to talk to us!"

"That's right! Our relationship with Cao Ying is already so bad, we don't care if it gets worse, when the time comes...I, Yan Liang, will be the first to lead the battle for the Lord! With such a backstab, Cao Cao will definitely wait to be killed!"

Everyone looked at each other and laughed sinisterly.

Liu Bei lit the letter with fire and burned it to ashes. He wrote another letter and handed it to Chen Gong for him to send to Chen Liu.

Dong Cheng's letter gave them the hope of turning defeat into victory, as long as they succeed!There will be no more Cao Ying in the world!

On the other side, Cao Cao and others returned to Wancheng. He didn't know that a huge crisis was coming towards him.

Gan Ning was left in Wancheng, and Cao Cao asked him to build a shipyard with Cao Ren and train the navy.

For this, Gan Ning is 1 willing!

Thinking of leading an army of steam water in the future, defeating invincible opponents all over the world, and finally leaving his name in history, he was so excited that he was laughing while sleeping.

"My lord! Don't worry, the navy is handed over to me! When you come back from conquering the north, I will guarantee you the most elite navy!"

"As for that Li Yan... I will cooperate with Zhang Xiu and Cao Ren to capture him alive!"

Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction, got into the carriage with Xia Houzhe and his party, and went straight to Chenliu!

Three days passed in a flash, and the first thing Cao Cao did when he returned to Chenliu was to find Liu Xie.

Asking him for the Son of Heaven Sword, he charged Yuan Shao with the crime of disturbing public order.

And let the newspaper publish it!

"Wen Ruo, let everyone come over for a meeting! An emergency meeting!"

In the afternoon of that day, in Chen Liu's meeting hall, everyone gathered together!

The atmosphere was extremely solemn, and Cao Chun, Huang Zhong and others were already gearing up.

Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and the others were also looking down at the topographical map and thinking about strategic guidelines.

"Ju Shou, report the battle situation! What's the situation in the north now?"

Chapter 634 The Conspiracy to Weaken the Family

Jushou expressed his absolute loyalty to Cao Cao when he served the emperor as an order not to be a minister.

So when Xun Yu was away, Ju Shou was the second in command!Responsible for coordinating all matters concerning Chen Liu.

Chen Qun, Cheng Yu and others are responsible for assisting him.

Ju Shou cleared his throat, and came out with the battle report in hand.

"My lord! There is nothing wrong with the battle in the west. Zhang Liao, Lu Su, two powerful generals, and Xu Rong will flank each other. It will be a matter of time before they win against Jiang Yiqu."

"Currently, the most stressful situation in our battle is still in Liyang and Dunqiu in Wei County!"

"Yuan Shao is extremely powerful because of the help of the mysterious man Li Congliang!"

"Coupled with Liyang's many battles, it is in a half-broken state that has not yet been repaired. Even Tian Fenglejin can only barely withstand it. The situation is not optimistic!"

Jushou was a little shocked and surprised, he knew how strong Tian Feng was.

But because of Li Congliang, Yuan Shao was able to fight against Tian Feng in terms of tactics, which should not be underestimated.

This is not to say that Tian Feng is not good, but that his troops are all from the original Black Mountain Army, and they have not been fully trained and their combat power is not strong.

In addition, Yuan Shao brought down Gongsun Zan's great victory, and his morale was high. If he fought recklessly, he would definitely not be able to fight.

But... Cao Cao asked Tian Feng to defend the north, but he lost his dangyin. Ju Shou was still a little worried that Cao Cao would blame him.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao had no intention of blaming him, he stroked his beard and frowned.

He is also a person who has fought on the battlefield for a long time, so he can understand what Tian Feng means.

"I see! Tian Feng's plan is correct. If you don't use this expression, I won't blame him."

"Yuan Shao's morale is high. If you can't defeat him in one fell swoop, it is safest to use the dragging formula! If you delay for a few months, your morale will definitely be exhausted! Then counterattack is the way to win."

"Everyone, what do you think of Yuan Shao? They all come up with ideas, how is the best way to fight back?"

After a moment of silence, the burly and tall Cheng Yu stood up.

"My lord! From my observation of Yuan Shao's situation, I want to take Li Yang in a quick battle before the cold winter comes!"

"Besides, he and Gongsun Zan have been fighting for a long time, and the people under his command are wasting people and money. Combined with his offensive layout, if I guess right... Yuan Shao doesn't have much food! So he is in a hurry!"

Seeing that the military general Cheng Yu had spoken, Guo Jia also stood up with his hands folded.

After all, he is also a military officer offering wine. If he paddles too much, he is afraid that Cao Cao will cut him down to offer wine.

"My lord! According to the information, Yuan Shao's army has basically been transferred out, and his old base in Bohai Sea... only his son Yuan Tan and more than ten thousand people are guarding it."

"I thought that Tian Yu, Yu Jin, and Cheng Lian could go north from Qingzhou to attack Bohai County! Let's encircle Wei and save Zhao, so that Yuan Shao can't look after each other in the end."

Guo Jia withdrew after finishing speaking.

Cao Cao nodded, the other party had the same idea as him.

Seeing this, Xun Yu also stood up, and added to Guo Jia's words.

"My lord, I also agree with Cheng Zhongde's deduction. Since Yuan Shao doesn't have much food and grass, let's procrastinate! If we delay the battle in Liyang, if it lasts for a few months, Yuan Shao will be defeated!"

"He wants to fight, but we don't fight! I don't believe that Li Congliang, he, can turn the world upside down!"

"Once the morale is exhausted and there is no food and grass, even Han Xin, the soldier immortal, will be useless!"

Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully.

Today, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and the barren Qingzhou are planted with hybrid rice and sweet potatoes and pumpkins.

Therefore, Cao Cao has plenty of food and grass, which is completely affordable!

Although Yuan Shao also obtained these seeds from the people, he also planted them.

But because it was a few years late and there were frequent wars, there was no surplus food at all.

"Okay! Send an order to Tian Feng, let him delay for a few days at all costs! Zhicai manages the food, logistics and armament supply!"

"Also, Cao Chun and Lu Bu! Order Tiger Riders and Leopard Riders, Qu Yi will take the lead and [-] infantry will be the left-wing vanguard, and Gao Shun will lead [-] infantry as the right-wing vanguard!"

"Huang Zhong led a hundred catapults, Zilong led three thousand light cavalry! Cheng Yu led thirty thousand archers! The rest of the generals will follow me to the central army! Set off to support Li Yang in five days!"

"As for Wen Ruo...you, Chen Qunmanchong and the others, guard Chenliu to prevent Xiaoxiao from making trouble!"

Cao Cao didn't worry about Chen Liu's safety at all. Even though they took away more than 6 troops, Chen Liu still had more than 4 troops.

And... Chen Liu is a concrete city wall, unbreakable!

There are also Lu Lingqi and Zhou Cang who are first-class early stagers in the city, and there are generals admitted by the recruiting hall... Li Tong!

Although Li Tong is not as powerful as Lu Lingqi and Zhou Cang, he is loyal and loyal, and he is a good general. Cao Cao is very relieved of him.

After the meeting, Lu Bu went straight to the Hua Tuo Medical Center. He had to visit the seriously injured Zhang Yang, who had a very good relationship with him.

Xiahouzhe walked with Dianwei Jiaxu.

After returning to Chenliu, he was pulled over by Cao Cao before he had time to go home.

"Turtle, why don't you speak? You are obviously a top civil servant, why pretend to be a living dead?"
