After Cao Cao finished speaking, Zhang Fei couldn't sit still. In Zhang Fei's eyes, this was a huge opportunity. If Cao Cao dared to stumble, Zhang Fei would dare to stab Cao Cao to death with a spear.
Nowadays, Cao Cao doesn't have many generals, even if he does, Zhang Fei doesn't take them seriously. Except for his second brother Guan Yu, and Lu Bu, whom he often insults, Zhang Fei really doesn't look down on anyone else in the world.
As for Guan Yu, he is also very moved. Cao Cao is right in saying that the land of Xuzhou belongs to Liu Bei. Now this pass is a very good opportunity, and Guan Yu can hold his temper better than Zhang Fei. He I believe that his brother Liu Bei will make a choice.
In Guan Yu's heart, no matter what choice Liu Bei makes, he will definitely follow him. He was wandering around before, nothing more than returning to the way he was before. Guan Yu has always believed in his heart that there will always be a place for his brother Liu Bei in the world. There is a path for the three of them.
Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others all looked at Liu Bei, waiting for Liu Bei to decide. Cao Cao's words directly blocked Liu Bei's retreat, and he also promised to help him capture Xuzhou. Cao Cao didn't believe that Liu Bei would really It's like this on the surface, so benevolent and righteous.
If Liu Bei was really like him on the surface, Cao Cao would be relieved. However, Cao Cao firmly believed that Liu Bei was not. Liu Bei was not as simple as he appeared on the surface. After all, they were all people he had dealt with before, and Cao Cao still knew a little bit about him.
At this time, Liu Bei was indeed deep in thought. He was thinking about the pros and cons of capturing Xuzhou. Cao Cao's words could not induce too much in Liu Bei's mind, but Liu Bei himself did not want to give up Xuzhou. , after all, a great opportunity now lies before us.
I thought that Liu Bei had been wandering for a long time before he found such a place. If he gave up Xuzhou, he would not know where to go or how to realize his ambition.
He originally had only 20,000 troops, and had given up hope. But now Lu Bu is fighting on two fronts, and Cao Cao is fully helping him. Liu Bei is thinking about what Cao Cao's purpose is. After he captures Xuzhou, what can Cao Cao do? what is the benefit.
Or maybe after he captured Xuzhou, Cao Cao changed his mind and sent troops directly to him to seize the land of Xuzhou.
But after thinking for a while, Liu Bei rejected it. It was not that simple to capture Xuzhou first and face Lu Bu directly. Both he and Cao Cao would inevitably pay a lot of casualties. After capturing Xuzhou, if Cao Cao sent troops to attack him, he would have to be prepared. Under the premise, Cao Cao and he would both lose, leaving Yuan Shu to reap the benefits.
Liu Bei believed that Cao Cao could also think of these problems. As for what benefits he would bring to Cao Cao after he captured Xuzhou, the only thing Liu Bei could think of was that Cao Cao no longer had to worry about sending troops to Yanzhou as before.
Liu Bei was a little worried for a while and couldn't make up his mind. At this time, he suddenly envied Cao Cao. He had so many resourceful people under him who could help him make suggestions, and even Lu Bu had Chen Gong.
Thinking about Liu Bei, why is he so miserable? He doesn't have any wise people. He can only make up his own mind on everything. He doesn't even have anyone to discuss things.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei felt sad in his heart, and he became more and more obsessed with his desire for wise men.
Then Liu Bei stopped thinking about it. It was useless no matter how much he thought about it, and he started to return to the issue of whether to send troops.
Liu Bei really had a headache, and he himself wanted to send troops to Xuzhou. After all, such a God-given opportunity was in front of him, and he didn't want to continue wandering, but he always felt that something was wrong with Cao Cao, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
After thinking for a while, Liu Bei was not a hesitant person and immediately had an idea.
"Brother Meng De, I have been thinking about it for a long time. This land of Xuzhou was originally passed down to me by Tao Shijun. How could I give up so easily and ignore the people of Xuzhou? Brother Meng De can help me with all my strength. Thank you very much. "
Liu Bei also figured it out. If he doesn't capture Xuzhou, he doesn't know where he will go next. Yanzhou is not a place where he will wait for a long time. There will be no development. The only way is to recapture Xuzhou. As for Cao Cao, if he has bad intentions, when Xuzhou attacks After he fell, Liu Bei was not afraid at all.
He still has some faith in Cao Cao. After all, they both have a common enemy, which is Lu Bu, and they also have a common goal, which is to kill Lu Bu.
Although Liu Bei looked calm and didn't care about Cao Cao when it came to Lu Bu stealing Xuzhou from him, in his heart, he really hated him. He finally had such a piece of property, but it was taken away by Lu Bu when he turned around. He always wanted to kill Lu Bu and take back Xuzhou.
When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard Liu Bei's words, they were instantly excited and trembling. They had obviously been waiting for Liu Bei's words for a long time. After all, they still had 20,000 troops in hand, so it was not that they had no chance.
After hearing this, Cao Cao and Xun Yu all laughed very happily.
Cao Cao immediately spoke.
"Okay, don't worry Xuande. If you and I work together, we will definitely be able to kill Lu Bu's guy and recapture Xuzhou. Xuande can rest assured. After the land of Xuzhou is recaptured, there is no need to worry about a city. You also know the situation in Yanzhou now. I really Unintentional and powerless.
Cao Cao is helping with all his strength this time, and it is Xuande who relies on you to provide food and grass. He also said that Lu Bu and I have a sworn hatred. This time, Cao is only seeking revenge! "
Although Liu Bei thought a lot, Cao Cao really only wanted revenge this time. In his current situation, unless he fights for Yanzhou, it is almost enough to compete with Liu Bei for Xuzhou, but this is obviously impossible.
After a conversation between the two, they confirmed the sergeant alliance and the time to send troops together. Both of them were very optimistic about this joint operation. In their eyes, Lu Bu had obviously become meat on the chopping board and could not escape.
After drinking and eating, Cao Cao and Liu Bei left separately. When Liu Bei came to the place arranged by Cao Cao, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn't bear it anymore.
"Brother, since Cao Mengde is helping us like this, we must be careful of him getting in the way."
"Brother, we should have sent out troops a long time ago. I will stop the slaves of the third surname when the time comes. Second brother rushes into the battle, are you afraid that we won't be able to defeat him?"
Liu Bei listened to the voices of the two people, and then slowly spoke out.
"Yide, you have been on the battlefield for a long time. Don't say these words again. If we can recapture Xuzhou, I would like to, but the difference in strength is too big.
What Cao Mengde said this time is right. It is indeed an opportunity for the three of us brothers. As for whether he has selfish motives, he definitely does. After we capture Xuzhou, he at least does not have to worry that we will capture his Yanzhou at any time.
Once it is implemented this time, it will be a great favor to us. How can we repay kindness with enmity?
But the second brother reminded us that no matter what, we must be careful in case we make a wedding dress for Cao Mengde.
Second brother, third brother, we will send out troops in three days. You will train your army and be ready at any time. This time, the three of us brothers will definitely be able to take back Xuzhou! "
