Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 207

Before Cao Cao left Xuchang, he made a plan and set up a plan, which was to make trouble for Zhang Yi.So he sent Zhang Yi an official position as General Zhengdong, and made Zhang Yi troublesome.

This trouble is Liu Bei!

Guo Jia's original strategy said: "Zhang Yi is absolutely extraordinary. My lord has fought against him openly and secretly for many times, but he has not gained the upper hand. It can be seen that Zhang Yi is indeed a leader among men. However, among Zhang Yi's defense lines in the north, it is There are flaws."

"Zhang Yi kept Liu Bei in Runan for two purposes: one is to let Liu Bei fight against our army, and the other is to trap Liu Bei in Runan."

Cao Cao asked: "Trap Liu Bei in Runan? Why?"

Guo Jia said: "The thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, the north is now in the lord's pocket, and Zhang Yi in Yangzhou is as solid as gold, so there are not many places for Liu Bei to choose, it is nothing more than the two prefectures of Jing and Yi."

"Liu Biao in Jingzhou had an enterprising spirit a few years ago, but now he is dead. Liu Zhang in Yizhou is just a dog guarding the soil, and he will be captured sooner or later."

"And Zhang Yi wants to defeat the lord, but he can't do it relying on Yangzhou. So he will win Jingyi and Yizhou first, and compete with the lord in the north and the south."

Cao Cao immediately said vigilantly: "Zhang Yi trapped Liu Bei in Runan to prevent him from having a strong opponent when he attacks Jing Yi himself?"

Guo Jia nodded and said: "That's right, and Liu Bei is obviously aware of this, so he no longer goes against the lord in the past two years, but is accumulating strength."

Cao Cao said: "I will send someone to negotiate with Liu Bei!"

Cao Cao sent a person who is good at negotiating, Man Chong!When I arrived in Gushi to negotiate with Liu Bei, the intentions of the two parties could be said to hit it off.However, there are some differences between the two sides in details, Liu Bei directly wants to leave Runan.

But how could Cao Cao agree, he would not let Liu Bei go for no reason.If Liu Bei had no effect, he would definitely trap Liu Bei to death. After finally trapping Liu Bei, a tiger, how could he let him go so easily?

So the condition on Cao Cao's side is that Liu Bei go to attack Zhang Yi and persist for a month, and then Cao Cao will let Liu Bei take his army to Jingzhou.

Liu Bei really wants to take away his army, and his army is not ordinary.He has trained all these years.Among them are the Baima soldiers who have been retrained from Xuzhou, and the cavalry brought over from Yecheng. These cavalry are not as simple as cavalry, and many of them are from Baima Yicong.

Liu Bei just couldn't bear these soldiers, so he didn't leave Runan.If Liu Bei had fewer soldiers and horses, he would be able to calm down and take refuge in Liu Biao just like in history.

But he has seven or eight thousand soldiers, which are enough for him to quickly occupy a place, and then start again.

So no matter what, Liu Bei will try his best to keep his troops. He is not young and does not have the courage to start over.

So Liu Bei agreed to Cao Cao's proposal and launched an attack on Lujiang on the date set by Cao Cao.

When Zhang Yi was about to send troops to support Cao Cao's hind legs, he received the news that Liu Bei was attacking Yangquan.

At the beginning, Zhang Yi sent three generals in Yangquan, Anfeng and Liao counties, namely Xue Rengui, Hua Rong and Yang Zhi.

Their role here is to guard against Cao Cao's attack or Liu Bei's rebellion. Once Liu Bei rebels, they will be ready.

Although Liu Bei's attack was unexpected by many people, Zhang Yi had already explained that he must be careful of Liu Bei.The three naturally dare not be careless, because this is their main task here.

Xue Rengui, Huarong, and Yang Zhi took turns to switch defenses, just in time for Huarong to defend Liao County.When Liu Bei came, he was discovered by Hua Rong, and Pegasus sent someone to notify Yang Zhi in Yangquan, Xue Rengui and Shouchun in Anfeng.

After Zhang Yi received Huarong's military report, he was very angry.Well, you Liu Bei, you really betrayed, no wonder you have been seeking benefits for the past two years, and you don’t want to make any effort. This is already preparing to give yourself this blow from behind!
But Liu Bei should know his military strength!Why do you still attack foolishly?It must be that Cao Cao gave him some benefits, letting him attack himself at the risk of losing his money.

So what benefits did Cao Cao give Liu Bei?This was something Zhang Yi couldn't figure out, so he convened everyone for discussion.

Liu Ye said: "My lord's intention is actually not difficult to guess. Liu Bei noticed it two years ago. Cao Cao has many capable men, so he can guess it naturally. I think Liu Bei must want to jump out of Runan, and Cao Cao is also on the way. He took advantage of this to blackmail Liu Bei."

Zhang Yi said: "Since this is the case, Liu Bei should not try his best to attack Lujiang?"

Liu Muzhi said: "My lord, you must not think so. If my guess is correct, Cao Cao will definitely let Liu Bei go to Jingzhou. If my lord is not in Runan to eliminate Liu Bei, the resistance will become even greater when we attack Jingzhou."

When Zhang Yi heard it, he immediately figured it out.He kept Liu Bei trapped in Runan because he was afraid that he would go to Jingzhou. Once Liu Bei went to Jingzhou, the situation would be bad.

According to the historical trajectory, when Liu Bei went to Jingzhou, many people would support him. Zhuge Liang, Yi Ji, Ma Liang and other Jingzhou people followed him.Moreover, Liu Bei also received many powerful generals in Jingzhou, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Huo Jun are all very capable people.

Although the historical trend has changed now, Zhang Yi is still not sure whether these talents will seek refuge with Liu Bei.It can be said that once Liu Bei is placed in Jingzhou, Zhang Yi will not be able to ensure the integrity of Jingzhou's talent pool.

Talents in the 21st century are the most important, and talents in the third century are also the most important.Zhang Yi has been coveting Jingzhou's talent pool for a long time, and he will not give up.Although those talents are all children of aristocratic families, and Zhang Yi doesn't think much of them in front of others, he knows in his heart how much he longs for these talents. You must know that many talents there are talents from states and counties. He will govern the world in the future. When the time comes, these people will definitely be needed. If they are released, they will need to go to Yizhou to get another batch.

However, Yizhou people are particularly xenophobic, and Zhang Yi doesn't know if he can get the support of Yizhou people.If it doesn't work, Zhang Yi can only turn on the killing ring.

But the most important thing now is to solve Liu Bei. If Liu Bei is not solved, Zhang Yi can only start attacking Jingzhou as soon as possible.

The three of Xue Rengui alone would definitely be able to stop Liu Bei's attack, but it is impossible to completely defeat Liu Bei and cause him to lose most of his troops.

So Zhang Yi immediately mobilized [-] soldiers and horses, and then personally led the troops, went straight to Anfeng, and prepared to design to get rid of Liu Bei.
