Guo Tu and Xin Ping are the two wise men around Yuan Tan.
Of course, it was Yuan Shang's great wisdom to match the two of them according to discipline. They had certain abilities and strategies, but there were not many of them, so it was easy to take advantage of them.
"Du Zhi's plan is to incite rebellion against Guo Tu and Xin Ping?"
Jia Xu could immediately guess what Chen Zhou's plan was.
Chen Zhou nodded and said: "Wen He is right, Yuan Tan listens to Guo Tuxin's comments on everything. Although the two of them are not very capable, they are also smart people. How could they not see that the Yuan family will be torn apart next, and the North The four states are about to fall into war again. The Lord's army is outside Ye City, and he has the ability to overthrow the Yuan family at any time, take over the four northern states, and quell the war. As long as the promises we make can satisfy them, we can instigate them to rebel, and through them It's easy to control Yuan Tan!"
Guo Tu and Xin Ping were not noble men. It was not impossible that they could not see Yuan's hope and turn to Cao Cao.
It is very possible to instigate them to rebel!
"What do you think?"
Cao Cao said and looked at the other counselors around him.
"Lord, I think it's feasible."
It was Xu You who spoke this time, and continued: "I know Guo Tuxin and Ping two very well, they are just villains swinging on both sides! They will never give everything for the Yuan family, they will only follow their own interests, they will definitely Can be incited to rebel!"
Among all the people in Cao Ying, no one knows Guo Tuxin Ping's character better than Xu You.
His words are very representative.
"In this way, it is indeed feasible."
Guo Jia agreed: "Anyway, we are here to wait for the brothers to fight each other. We might as well try to instigate Guo Tu and the others to make the fight between the Yuan brothers more intense."
"It makes sense!"
Cao Cao confirmed: "Then proceed as Du Zhi said. I will arrange for someone to contact Guo Tu and me later. If it succeeds, it will be the best. If it fails, it will not do us much harm."
Anyway, we sit down and watch the show. You can watch the show however you want.
The Yuan family must be destroyed this time.
Cao Cao had confidence, and he also had confidence in Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou recalled what happened after Yuan Shao's death, and he was confident in himself, and said: "We can just wait and see what the outcome will be. If the Lord rushes to attack Yecheng, maybe the three brothers, plus Gao If we do it, we will unite to resist, which will be even more disadvantageous."
This sentence was agreed by everyone.
We are not afraid that they will kill each other, but we are afraid that they will unite and unite, which will not meet Cao Cao's strategic requirements.
——
Xiangyang.
When Liu Bei came here, he made sufficient arrangements based on Xu Shu and Chen Gong's plan, and took the initiative to admit his mistake to Liu Biao, almost opening his chest to let Liu Biao see how he felt.
Seeing that Liu Bei was so sincere, Liu Biao felt guilty, and quickly comforted Liu Bei, saying: "I also listened to the villain's slander, and that's why I'm like this. Xuande, don't get me wrong, alas... Xuande is here to help me resist Cao Cao, and for our Han Dynasty." Great righteousness, but I am so narrow-minded, I am ashamed of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty!"
Cai Mao, who was standing aside, looked unnatural after hearing this.
Because he could tell that the villain Liu Biao was talking about must be him.
Seeing that the plan worked, Liu Bei wiped the tears on his face and bowed: "Thank you for your trust, brother. Brother was willing to accept me when I was most helpless and agreed to let me stay in Jingzhou. Even if I am no longer a human being, I will not Dare to scheme against my brother's Jingzhou. If I can't, I...I don't want Xinye anymore, I will take my people and leave Jingzhou right now."
"Don't……"
When Liu Biao heard this, he quickly said: "Xuande, please don't do this. I said I would leave Xinye to you, and I will never fail to do so. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, Xuande can stay with peace of mind!"
He was actually worried that if Liu Bei left, who could help him guard the new territory and face Cao Cao?
Zhang Xiu, who was in Wancheng before, was taken away by Cao Cao.
Generals such as Wenpin and Huang Zu were reluctant to face Cao Cao directly, but only Liu Bei was willing.
Liu Bei must not leave.
"from now on."
Liu Biao had a straight face and a solemn look. He glanced at Cai Mao and others and said seriously: "Who dares to say anything bad about Xuande again? Who dares to accuse Xuande of being ambitious and plotting Jingzhou? Don't blame me for being rude. ”
Although the wealthy families below do not necessarily obey Liu Biao's management.
But Liu Biao had a certain degree of authority in Jingzhou and was able to control them.
"yes!"
Cai Mao and others responded in unison.
They had no choice but to agree. They could see that Liu Biao was serious about it, and they were stunned by Liu Bei's deception.
Cai Mao disliked Liu Bei very much, but he had no way to deal with Liu Bei.
"Thank you, brother!"
Liu Bei burst into tears of gratitude and quickly thanked him.
Liu Biao said again: "Xuande, don't think so much in the future."
"OK!"
Liu Bei said.
After solving the misunderstanding, Liu Biao felt much better. He took Liu Bei to drink in his mansion and invited Liu Bei to stay in Xiangyang for a few more days.
According to Chen Gong and Xu Shu's plan, Liu Bei certainly did not dare to stay in Xiangyang for a long time. He refused Liu Biao's offer to stay on the grounds that he had many affairs in Xinye.
For fear of staying too long, the people in Xiangyang really refused to let me go and never go back.
Seeing that Liu Bei refused to stay, Liu Biao just felt a pity, but Xinye was indeed more important, so he stopped forcing Liu Bei to go back.
Early the next morning, Liu Bei left Xiangyang.
It’s not very far from Xiangyang to Xinye.
After returning to Xinye, I saw the people around me and Chen Dao starting to help me train my own soldiers. I felt relieved and felt that I finally survived.
"Thanks to Yuan Zhi for reminding me this time."
Liu Bei said without any danger: "Without Yuan Zhi, we cannot predict what would have happened."
"Excuse me, gentlemen, what should we do next?"
he asked again.
Xu Shu said: "My lord, please keep a low profile next. It is good to win the hearts of the people, but if the hearts of the people are too high, it is easy to cause problems. By the way! I have a friend whose talents are a hundred times better than mine. My lord can invite him to help." .”
"real?"
When Liu Bei heard this, he quickly asked: "What is that gentleman's name? Where is he? I will go and invite him right now!"
Xu Shu said: "My friend's name is Zhuge Liang, also known as Kong Ming, known as Mr. Wolong. He is the proud disciple of Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui. He works hard in Wollongong, Nanyang. However, an accident happened not long ago."
"What happened?"
Liu Bei asked.
Xu Shu felt very unbelievable and said: "Cao Cao's people heard Kong Ming's reputation from somewhere and sent people to look for him. They couldn't find him, so they stayed in Wollonggang. As soon as he showed up, they would take him away immediately. Let’s go. Kong Ming had no intention of assisting the Cao thieves, so he left Nanyang to escape.”
"He should be in Linju at this time. If the Lord wants to invite Kong Ming, he must be sincere."
"If you're not sincere, you won't be able to please him."
Xu Shu pointed out.
Liu Bei made a note of Zhuge Liang and Linju, and he must go to Linju when he has time.
