Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

The news from Yanzhou is very strange, or very abnormal.

When Cao Cao was desperate, his father happened to pass by Xuzhou and was killed by Tao Qian's generals. This... all this was too much of a coincidence.

If Cao Cao had not fanned the flames, Liu Yu would not believe it at all. But if he said that Cao Cao was willing to sacrifice his own father in order to seize Xuzhou, Liu Yu would not believe it either.

What is the truth of the matter?

Liu Yu couldn't figure it out, but he had clearly sensed the weirdness of the matter.

At this time, Cao Cao must be wearing mourning clothes for his father, and then he would turn around and start attacking Xuzhou.

His father was killed by Tao Qian's subordinates, so he put the blame on Tao Qian and was not wrong at all.

No one would blame Cao Cao for this matter, as this time he had complete control of the initiative.

The hatred for killing one's father is irreconcilable.

If Liu Yu's prediction is correct, it won't be long before the elite troops from Yanzhou will appear on the land of Xuzhou.

With full of anger and endless killing, they captured one city after another in Xuzhou.

The bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no cock crowing for thousands of miles.

This will be the situation in Xuzhou for some time to come.

Between Luoyang and Xuzhou, Cao Cao finally chose Xuzhou. Thinking about the future situation of Xuzhou, there was no joy on Liu Yu's face.

When a country prospers, the people suffer; when a country perishes, the people suffer even more.

In this battle, both sides will forget about the common people, and all they will think about is how to defeat the other side.

"Brother, in this battle between the two sides, who do you think will win?"

"Tao Gongzu is old and confused. He has abandoned morality and acts recklessly. He excludes talented people and favors treacherous people. Even if Cao Mengde does not attack him, it will be difficult for him to defend Xuzhou. So Cao Mengde will win this battle."

"According to what you said, Cao Mengde has a strong army and is very powerful. He should be able to occupy Xuzhou soon."

"Not only Tao Gongzu has internal troubles, Cao Mengde also has a lot of internal troubles. Does my brother still need Lu Fengxian? After he left Henei, he went to Yanzhou, and Cao Mengde placed him in Chenliu."

"Cao Mengde's intention is very clear. He wants to use Lü Fengxian to resist us. He regards Lü Fengxian as a watchdog."

"But what he doesn't know is that Lu Bu is not a guard dog at all. He is a wolf, an extremely ferocious wolf. As long as he finds prey, he doesn't care where the prey comes from."

Lu Bu is the most ferocious wolf of this era. He has no moral principles, only interests. When he sees something profitable, he will stand up without hesitation.

"What do you mean, my dear brother? Will Lü Fengxian seize Yanzhou?"

"Yes, Lü Buxing is brave and valiant. With him stabbing Cao Mengde in the back, Cao Mengde will never be able to occupy Xuzhou."

Liu Bei nodded.

If things really turned out as Liu Yu expected, Cao Cao would have no chance of occupying Xuzhou under such circumstances.

"How should we proceed on the issue of Xuzhou?"

"It's simple. Save Xuzhou." Liu Yu made his point clear. "Although Cao Mengde cannot occupy Xuzhou, he still has a great advantage over Tao Gongzu."

"He would blame the people of Xuzhou for Cao Song's death. When people are blinded by hatred, they often do crazy things, such as massacring a city."

"Massacre the city." Liu Bei's voice was a little hoarse because of shock. "Would Cao Mengde really do something that goes against the will of heaven?"

"Even if there is only a 10% chance, we can't just sit there and do nothing, so we have to save Xuzhou."

"Once the battle of Runan started, our military strength was already somewhat stretched, and it would be difficult to send troops to rescue Xuzhou."

What Liu Bei said was the truth, which is also the current situation.

However, Liu Yu's plan did not require sending many soldiers to Xuzhou this time. Xuzhou had a large number of troops, so he only needed to send a general who was good at fighting, which would greatly reduce Xuzhou's fear of war.

He looked around and kept his eyes on Zhang Xiu.

"Youwei, lead 3,000 elite soldiers to aid Xuzhou. Go to see Tao Gongzu and tell him that I already know the whole story. Tao Gongzu is a strong elder and would never do such a thing.

"If Cao Mengde advances, you will help him resist the enemy. If he is defeated, do not panic. I will personally lead the troops into Xuzhou."

In Liu Yu's plan, Xuzhou must be saved. If no action is taken, then when Tao Qian gives up Xuzhou, he will definitely miss it.

"only!"

After Zhang Xiu saluted, he strode out of the tent and headed for the military camp. He quickly called the soldiers together and led the army straight to Xuzhou.

……

……

Cao Cao, who was far away in Yanzhou, was dressed in a plain white robe, his expression becoming increasingly sad and solemn.

Right in front of him, there was an exquisitely carved mahogany coffin, lying there quietly, as if telling of endless sorrow.

Cao Cao's eyes sparkled with tears, and he said in a choked voice: "Father, I am unfilial and failed to protect you, causing you to fall into the hands of the thieves. But please rest assured, I swear here that I will make Xuzhou pay a heavy price, blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"

Outside Cao Cao, many of Cao's nephews and nephews knelt silently, and no one dared to slack off.

They knew very well that Cao Cao was heartbroken at this moment and required absolute silence and respect.

Cheng Yu stood a little further away, his face expressionless and his eyes as cold as ice.

He knew Cao Cao's mood at the moment, but as a counselor, he had to remain calm and rational. He understood that the road to revenge was full of dangers and required careful planning and strategic layout.

Xi Zhicai was standing next to him, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Demou, have all the people been settled?"

"Zhicai, don't worry. Everything has been settled. I have sent people to guard outside the courtyard. If anyone approaches except the lord, they will be killed without mercy."

"In that case, the next step is to prepare for war. If everything goes as expected, within a few days, the lord will personally lead the army to take Xuzhou."

If they could capture Xuzhou, this dead chess game would instantly come alive. They marched southward to take over the land east of the Yangtze River.

Jiangdong is a vast land, enough to support a million soldiers. If you get that land, your hegemony will be half accomplished.

He knew Tao Gongzu's character. He was reckless and the reputation he had built in Xuzhou was almost gone.

As long as the Yanzhou troops reach Xuzhou, they will surely be able to crush the enemy with ease and take Xuzhou in one fell swoop.

His only worry now is Liu Yu. Uncle Liu is wise and far-sighted, and he will definitely see through his purpose of occupying Xuzhou.

The only hope now is for Liu Yu to turn a blind eye.

If Liu Bei led his troops to intervene in Xuzhou, the situation in Xuzhou would instantly become complicated.
