Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 612

In Zhu Wei's calculations, Cao Cao was just a pawn to be used temporarily. After using it, he could naturally put it aside.

However, Zhu Wei had also had some discussions before on the issue of whether Liu Bei, a small force in Xuzhou, should stay. If Zhu Wei really wanted to seize Xuzhou, it would naturally be impossible for Liu Bei to stay in Xiaopei and become an eyesore.

Just how to get rid of Liu Bei, I didn't have any good ideas for a while. Maybe when Zhu Wei plans to conquer Xuzhou in the future, Liu Bei will be forcibly eliminated.

After all, the acquisition of any benefit ultimately depends on the competition for military strength.

Perhaps in the future Xuzhou affairs, Zhu Wei still needs to use troops to compete with Cao Cao for the territory of Xuzhou, so it is not a problem to solve Liu Bei by the way.

I just didn't expect that Liu Bei would actually take the initiative to seek an alliance. Although he seemed to have his own little idea, thinking that he could take the opportunity to gain some territory in Xuzhou, it seemed that Liu Bei himself came to the door.

Therefore, several military advisers and advisers on Zhu Wei's side felt that they could use Liu Bei's careful thinking to deal with Cao Cao before Chen Deng's identity and intentions were really exposed.

In this way, after discussing with Jia Xu, Lu Su, Zhou Yu and others, Zhu Wei gave Liu Bei an ambiguous answer on the surface. Zhu Wei promised to join forces with Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao's entry into Xuzhou, but how to divide Xuzhou in the future , it will be decided later depending on the situation.

Zhu Wei even proposed that the choice of the rest of Lu Bu in Xuzhou should be the main choice, and depending on which side Zhang Liao votes for, that side will control Xuzhou, and there is no need for the two sides to agree on the division of the territory.

Mi Zhu was naturally not very satisfied with this, but the situation is stronger than others, Zhu Wei's strength can completely compete with Cao Cao, but Liu Bei is still relying on Cao Cao to survive in Xiaopei, what qualifications does Liu Bei have to compete with Cao Cao? Zhu Wei is haggling.

However, Zhang Liao actually had an old relationship with Guan Yu under Liu Bei's account. If this is true, Liu Bei may not have no chance to subdue Zhang Liao. Anyway, Mi Zhu went back with Zhu Wei's promise, and soon Liu Bei also gave it to him. Zhu Wei's answer can be the same as the current agreement.

Of course, Zhu Wei is naturally not sure what Liu Bei thinks about this. Politics is always a matter of intrigue. Who knows who is cheating whom.

It's just that Zhu Wei didn't feel any change in the light green luster on Liu Bei's side through the Three Kingdoms game system, and he still maintained the state of an ally for the time being.

Perhaps the conditions Liu Bei put forward through Mi Zhu were just high prices. He originally just hoped that when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, he could get support from Zhu Wei, at least to allow him to stay in Xiaopei.

As for who will control Xuzhou in the future, Liu Bei had no expectations in his heart.

After this little episode, almost on the third day of the three-day time limit agreed by Zhu Wei to Lu Bu, Chen Deng finally came to Zhu Wei on behalf of Lu Bu.

Of course, this also just gave Chen Deng a chance to report the implementation of the strategy to Zhu Wei, so Zhu Wei gathered several military advisors under his command and listened to Chen Deng describe the progress of the strategy.

From the current situation, it seems that the strategy is progressing very smoothly. Just after Lu Bu got the three-day deadline from Zhu Wei, Chen Deng deliberately offered Lu Bu the upper, middle and lower strategies.

The best strategy is that Lu Bu and Yuan Shu can break through from Shouchun to Xuzhou together. Then with Lu Bu's martial prowess and Yuan Shu's Yuan family background, the combination of the two parties may be able to join forces, and both parties will benefit from it.

But according to this strategy, Lu Bu has completely invested in Yuan Shu's tent. Perhaps Lu Bu can marry Yuan Shu again, and let Lu Bu's daughter marry Yuan Shu's son.

Anyway, according to Chen Deng’s description to Lu Bu, as long as Lu Bu and Yuan Shu retreat to Xuzhou, Yuan Shu can contact Yuan Shao’s rescue, so that Yuan Shu and Lu Bu can gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou. Next, Lu Bu will help Yuan Shu lead the army to fight, and Yuan Shu will solve the problem. The problem of food supplies.

This may completely change the current situation where Lu Bu is capable of fighting but lacks the support of money and food, and Yuan Shu has money and food but no general who can lead the army and win the battle.

As for the middle strategy, according to Zhu Wei's wishes, Lu Bu pretended to seek Yuan Shu's cooperation, and then tricked Yuan Shu out of Shouchun City in the name of a banquet, or Lu Bu personally led a small number of soldiers into Shouchun City, looking for an opportunity to kill Yuan Shu.

In this way, Lv Bu could use Zhu Wei's assistance to fight against Cao Cao, and completely wash away Lv Bu's reputation for his previous counterattack. Lv Bu can definitely say that that action was just to deceive Yuan Shu's strategy.

In this way, Lv Bu can take advantage of the act of clearing the false emperor and traitors, once again to make a name for himself and make meritorious deeds, seek rewards from the emperor, and also prevent Cao Cao from having any excuses to attack and retaliate against Lv Bu, and deepen the alliance with Zhu Wei.

Anyway, according to the central policy, Lu Bu can at least keep the current situation unchanged in the future, and at the same time get a good reputation for eliminating thieves for the country.

And the so-called worst strategy is to ask Lu Bu to ask Zhu Wei to intercede again, and take advantage of the current rift between Zhu Wei and Cao Cao to break through and return to Xuzhou on his own, so that at least he can return to Xuzhou to protect himself, and he can also look for opportunities in the future Restore the alliance relationship with Zhu Wei, and then resist Cao Cao's attack.

It's just that whether Zhu Wei is willing to help Lu Bu and whether he is willing to give Lu Bu a chance to break through is difficult to determine. Perhaps Lu Bu can persuade Zhu Wei at what price.

On the surface, it seems that the three strategies proposed by Chen Deng are really for the sake of Lu Bu. Even Chen Gong, another military advisor beside Lu Bu, has a lot of ideas about the two strategies proposed by Chen Deng, and thinks that they are all feasible. Policy.

In fact, the best policy and the middle policy are all the traps set by Chen Deng against Lu Bu after discussing with Jia Xu, Lu Su, Zhou Yu and others. No matter which one Lu Bu chooses, Chen Deng will eventually betray after seeing Yuan. Lu Bu, and then helped Yuan Shu set a trap to kill Lu Bu.

As for the worst strategy, there is basically no possibility of realizing it, so Chen Deng just came out to make up the numbers.

After listening to Chen Deng's three strategies, Lu Bu was also a little uncertain, so he had to discuss with Chen Deng and Chen Gong several times, and Lu Bu's thoughts also changed several times within a day or two.

Until the end, Lu Bu still couldn't make up his mind whether to choose the best strategy or the middle strategy.

But because the three-day time limit given by Zhu Wei could not be delayed for too long, Lu Bu could only make a decision that could fall on both sides at any time.

That is to first ask Chen Deng to find Yuan Shu for advice, that is, to persuade Yuan Shu to join forces with Lu Bu to break out to Xuzhou, and then recruit Yuan Shao for help to regain a foothold in Xuzhou. Anyway, this requires Yuan Shu's consent.

Then Chen Deng went to Zhu Wei and told him about the central plan, that is, Lu Bu would find a way to kill Yuan Shu, and then make an appointment with Zhu Wei to take over Shouchun City within the agreed time.

However, whether Lu Bu will use the best strategy or the middle strategy in the end depends on Yuan Shu's attitude and Zhu Wei's attitude...
