Chapter 41 Bofu Guanghua divided Yangzhou Xuande Mengde suffered both 5

Liu Bei got Cao Cao's letter and came to the same person, and Cao Cao treated him as a guest. Liu Bei took out his ability to cry to Cao Cao, complaining that Yuan Shu was shameless, imprisoned the emperor and issued edicts randomly, and drove the people to attack the city for injustice. He also said that he had been deceived and had just set up an army to attack before. He really deserved to die.

When Cao saw that Liu Bei was sad and shed tears, he believed it and comforted him so that Liu Bei did not have to worry about it. He invited him to eradicate Yuan Shu and save the emperor. Liu Bei thanked him again and again, and a banquet broke up happily. In the evening, Cao Cao personally sent Liu Bei out of the house.

After Liu Bei left, Xun Yu said, "Liu Xuande is the hero of the world. If you don't plan early, you will be in trouble in the future.

Cao Cao nodded when he heard the words. After a while, when Xun came to see it, Cao Cao asked, "Wen Ruoshi advised me to kill Xuande. What do you think?"

Xun You said, "Master, you can't! Liu Xuande's future troubles, Yuan Highway is also a big trouble! The Lord Xing volunteered the righteous soldiers to eliminate violence for the people. It was time to recruit heroes, and those who were worried about it were no one to vote. Now Liu Xuande is poor and comes to vote, and he is known as a hero. If he kills him, the world's heroes doubt themselves when they hear it, and they dare not vote. Who will determine the world fairly with the Lord? In order to eliminate the trouble of one person, block the hope of the world, and eliminate the troubles of the future, regardless of the great trouble in front of us, this is not the work of a wise man. I hope the Lord will think twice.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and said, "What Gongda said is exactly what I want!"

The next day, Cao Cao asked Liu Bei to lead the pastoral of Yuzhou. Cheng Yu secretly advised, "Liu Bei is not under people in the end. It's better to take pictures early."

Cao Cao said: "Now when you are using heroes, you can't kill one person and lose the world's reputation. That's what I and Gongda both mean. So he did not need the plan of Xun Yu and Cheng Yu to allocate 3,000 troops and horses, send thousands of grain to Xuande, and ordered him to station troops at the junction of Yuzhou and Xuzhou to prevent Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shuxin's Xuzhou was about to rest and not want to compete with Cao Cao. In addition, Liu Bei guarded the eastern gate of Yanzhou for Cao, so the eastern line calmed down and there was no war for the time being. Yuan Shao in the north competed with Gongsun Zan. In the battle of Baoqiu, Gongsun Zan retreated to Yijing and continued to hold hands with Yuan Shao. Cao Cao's northern line was also safe. Liu Biao in the south is the master of the defense. He has no intention of attacking, and Cao Cao doesn't have to worry about the south.

There is nothing wrong with the south, north and east, which does not mean that there is no war on the western front. Since Li Wei, Guo Yan and Zhang Ji died one after another, Zhang Xiu has occupied the land of Chang'an Sanfu, using Li Ru as a counselor and Hu Cheer as a general, gradually accumulating strength and full wings. Taking advantage of the emptiness of Si Li's land, he successively occupied Hongnong, Nanyang and other places, and divided Si Li with Cao. Then the small-scale border war that has been going on.

Now that Cao Cao has nothing to do on three sides, he wants to take the opportunity to send troops to subdue Zhang Xiu and take all the place of Si Li. So he raised 100,000 troops to fight against Zhang Xiu, ordered Xiahou Dun to be the vanguard, and the army and horses went to the underwater village.

When Zhang Xiu heard that Cao Cao's soldiers arrived, he set up all his troops to welcome him. Li Ru advised Zhang Xiu, "Today, the princes in the world are fighting for the front. The land of the generals is not wide, the generals are not many generals, the generals' soldiers are not strong, and the name of the generals is not obvious. Why can they compete with the princes in the world? Looking at the princes of the world, there are few people who can level the world. There are Yuan Benchu in the north, Guanghua in the south, Cao Mengde and Yuan Highway in the south, and the rest are incompetent. Now Cao's army is so powerful that he can't fight against the enemy. Why don't the general take the opportunity to throw himself in and help him unify the world?

"How did Wen Xiusheng know that Cao Mengde could unify the world?" Zhang Xiu also knew himself. Previously, he was not obvious as a general under the command of Li Yu, Zhang Ji and others, but now he has become an obvious powerless prince. If Li Ru hadn't supplemented each other, he would not even manage this state, let alone govern the world. Therefore, Zhang Xiu did not object to Li Ru's proposal, but did not know whether Cao Cao was the best candidate.

Li Ru said, "Although I mentioned four people, in fact, those who can really win the world are nothing more than Cao Mengde and Nan Guanghua. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers are still incompatible. How can they tolerate the heroes of the world? Is it possible that the general is going to cast a Guanghua Mage?

Zhang Xiu shook his head and said, "Nan Ye killed my uncle. How can I vote for him?"

Li Ru said, "I also thought Cao Mengde was better than Nan Guanghua. Now Cao Mengde occupies Luoyang. If the general works again, he will get the two capitals of the East and the West. Compared with Nanguanghua, he is far away in Jiaozhou. This is only secondary, mainly because Cao Mengde has the heart to dominate the world and once competed with Yuan Shu to welcome the emperor. Nan Guanghua actually gave the emperor to others. I'm afraid that he has no intention to fight for the world, and naturally he can't win the world. If the general surrenders, in fact, Cao Mengde is the only one to choose.

Zhang Xiu deeply agreed when he heard the words, so he ordered Li Ru as an envoy to present the letter. Cao Cao saw that Li Ru responded fluently and had a loving heart for talent. He asked Li Ru, "Wen You would like to join me and plan for me?"

Li Ru said, "Sometime from Dong Zhuo and Li Yu offended the world. Now General Zhang listens to someone's words and can't bear to abandon it.

Cao Cao was not angry but happy when he saw that Li Ru was loyal, and he was not in a hurry. Anyway, as soon as Zhang Xiu fell, Li Ru naturally became his own general. So Cao accepted Zhang Xiu's sincerity happily and added an official to treat Zhang Xiu well, which also had the intention of winking over Li Ru.

Zhang Xiu threw Cao Cao to open the gate, took Cao Cao into Wancheng for hospitality, and the army and horses were separated outside the city. Cao Cao stayed in the city for a few days and held a banquet every day.

Cao Cao was inevitably drunk when he had a banquet all day long. There is a saying that wine is the medium of sex. One day, Cao Cao was drunk and returned to the room and asked left and right, "Is there a beautiful singer in this house?"

Although there was no brothel brothel in the Han Dynasty, it was popular to raise domestic prostitutes, so Cao Cao did not ask the famous prostitutes in the city, but only asked the singers in the house. At this time, Cao Anmin, his nephew, was accompanied by Cao Cao. He knew his uncle's heart and whispered, "When my little nephew visited last night, I saw a woman on the side of the building, who was born very beautiful. When asked, it was Zou Shi, the wife of Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji.

There is a folk saying in modern times: Dongwukong Lori, Cao Wei's beloved wife, and Shu Han are all the foundation. When Cao Cao was in chaos after drinking, he was excited when he heard that there was a best survivor in the house. Cao Anmin quickly led 50 guards to bring Zou.

In a short time, Cao Anmin brought Zou to the room. Cao Cao looked at it with his eyes and saw that Zou's skin was white and tender, his eyebrows were picturesque, and a pair of crisp breasts were round and full, and he was indeed a peerless beauty.

Cao Cao was happy to see the hunt and asked knowingly, "Who is your wife? Why are you so beautiful?"

Zou saluted and said, "My concubine is Zou, the surviving person of Zhang Jizhi. I dare not be praised as a general."

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Can you recognize me, madam?"

Zou replied, "I have heard the prestige of General Cao for a long time, and I am lucky to see Sansheng today."

Cao Cao said, "For the sake of my wife, Turner and Zhang Xiu will surrender, or you will wait for the family to destroy the clan. I don't know how my wife can repay me.

Zou's face was as frightened as earth and hurriedly bowed down: "I really feel the kindness of the general's rebirth. It's just that the concubine has nothing to do, and I don't know how to repay the general.

Cao Cao dismissed the left and right and said to Zou, "It's easy for your wife to repay her kindness. How about staying with me tonight and enjoying wealth in the future?"
