Chapter 1651 The Three Great Princes' Alliance VII

After the two played a game of chess, they both had a certain idea in their hearts, and they had reached a certain tacit understanding.

This alliance of the three major princes is already imperative. If Liu Bei is really determined to go his own way, then he can only fight, and they will join forces to attack the north.

Fight against the outside world before making peace inside, this principle, they are all moving, in the face of the powerful enemy of the Ming court, they must be united to have a chance of winning.

It would be pointless to continue the loose and loose alliance as before.

........................

When they were playing chess, in the Yan army camp in the northern suburbs, Liu Bei was also a little hesitant.

He is facing Jia Xu.

Cao Wei, represented by Jia Xu, was sent as an envoy for a very simple purpose, that is, to hold an alliance. Jia Xu has said everything that should be said, and the rest depends on how Liu Bei chooses.

"His Royal Highness Yan, my king is still waiting for His Highness's response, I don't know if His Highness has an answer!"

Jia Xu stood in the hall, neither humble nor overbearing, with awe-inspiring eyes, looking at Liu Bei indifferently.

"How does Gu know that you are not setting a trap just to besiege and kill Gu!"

Liu Bei looked at this person coldly.

He actually wanted to kill this person. It was his plan that made Li Ru lose Yecheng and himself the initiative advantage. Now he can only be passively ordered around by Cao Cao.

"My king represents the Son of Heaven. How can I go back on my word? However, in order to ensure the safety of King Yan, my king has also made some adjustments. I will arrange for General Wuwei to personally protect the safety of the alliance. As for the place and time , it’s all up to King Yan to decide!”

Jia Xu smiled: "My king has already expressed his sincerity, it depends on whether King Yan is willing to sit down and talk!"

General Wuwei, that was a new award from the imperial court.

Guan Yu.

Guan Yu is now in Wei Ying, but everyone knows that he is Liu Bei's brother-in-law, and he is loyal to Liu Bei. If he is in the place of the alliance, then Liu Bei will feel more at ease.

"Since King Wei is so sincere, if Gu should not respond, I'm afraid it will be unreasonable. They are all serving the emperor. If King Wei wants to chat, then Gu will accompany him!"

Liu Bei's heart calmed down a lot. He thought about it, and he decided to see each other anyway. As for the final outcome of the negotiation, he didn't guarantee it.

Thinking of ideals, he replied: "I will send someone to inform you about the time and place later, but if you leave Yecheng during this period of time, the peace talks will be void!"

"Can!"

Jia Xu nodded and said.

It was supposed to stop. At this time, we can't fight anymore. If we continue to fight, it will hurt our peace. The ownership of Hebei is no longer something that can be fought, and the next step is to negotiate.

"Sir, send the messenger!"

Liu Bei sees off the guests.

"Yes!"

A scribe in Tsing Yi with a bamboo hat came out and personally sent Jia Xu out of the camp to show his sincerity.

The two walked out of the camp side by side, and the atmosphere seemed much more relaxed.

"It seems that the king of Wei is very determined!" said the scribe in Tsing Yi as he walked.

"If the King of Yan hadn't been afraid, he wouldn't have gone south. He should be in the middle of the Anding River, trying to find a way to devour places like Julu Zhao Commandery!"

Jia Xu said with a sneer.

"Da Ming is indeed a terrible enemy!" The scholar in green nodded, "But since King Wei wants to form an alliance, shouldn't he pay a price!"

"for example?"

"The land of Hebei, after all, we took it down!"

"It seems that the battle of Guandu was caused by your Yan army. We eliminated Yuan Shao, and you took advantage of it later. Saying this, Wenyou, don't you blush!"

"Wen He's speech is still as poisonous as ever!"

"That's not as good as you, you are soft in doing things, and you don't see blood when you kill someone!"

"We don't need to reveal the truth to each other. Since we have all come out of Xiliang, we will be our own masters in the future, and life and death will be determined!"

"That's right, but before the Ming army is defeated and the Ming country is wiped out, you and I still have a chance to cooperate, for example..."

Jia Xu looked at Li Ru with a smile, and said, "You placed a lot of people in Yizhou back then!"

"Jing Wusi is not a vegetarian. If my people show up, they will die quickly. Doesn't that mean you are cheap!" The scribe in Tsing Yi curled his lips.

Although the development of Yelou seems to be much better than his spies, in fact, Jia Xu is not as good as him in the layout of Xichuan, because he has already started the layout in Dong Zhuo's time.

Jia Xu didn't even know how many people were buried in it. Only he knew best. These people seemed inconspicuous before, but in the past few years, people have climbed up one after another. If they move, they will be A very terrible force.

"That's why we talk about cooperation!"

Jia Xu said: "You have internal spies, and I have external channels. In terms of layout, within Zhengming Realm, my Yelou is no worse than you. Both you and I know Jing Wusi's ability. As long as we can overcome them for a while, There is a chance to make some noise in their lair!"

"That's a good idea!" The scribe in Tsing Yi was a little moved: "But before that, don't you have to share with us what you got from Yudu!"

"Get what?" Jia Xu pretended to be confused.

"When Mujing ascended the throne, people from Jiangdong, Beiyan, and Central Plains all went out to assassinate, making a big commotion, but it didn't work. But in the end, you Yelou used your voice to strike west. Under the eyes of Jing Wusi in Yudu, you attacked A workshop, I also want the things in this workshop!"

The scribe in Tsing Yi said very bluntly: "The fighting power of the Ming army is amazing. In addition to its own capabilities, the most important thing is that the weapons of the Ming army are relatively more advanced than those of all our princes. When the Wei army was defeated in Wancheng, we I don’t know much about it, but I’ve heard about it!”

"It seems that Wenyou is also keeping a close eye on Zhongyuan!" Jia Xu sneered.

"Each each other!"

The scribe in Tsing Yi smiled softly, although he was hiding under the bamboo hat, he was like a poisonous snake: "Your night building is in the Northland, so there are some arrangements, we just know it in our hearts, why bother to say it! "

"It makes sense!"

Jia Xu nodded.

"If you want to cooperate, show some sincerity!" the scribe in Tsing Yi said calmly.

"I'll think about it!"

Jia Xu shrugged: "If you can give it to you after asking your majesty, I will naturally give it to you. I can't give it to you, and I can't help it!"

"Then look forward to hearing from you!"

The scribes in Tsing Yi sent him out of the gate of the camp.

Then go straight back to camp.

In the big tent of the middle camp, Liu Bei was still pacing back and forth. As he walked, he looked at the marching map, his eyes were a little flickering.

"Your Majesty, the envoy has left the camp and returned to the city!" the scribe in Tsing Yi reported.

"Did you ever think about keeping him?"

Liu Bei asked suddenly.

"Think about it!"

The scribe in Tsing Yi said: "This person is quite capable. If there is a chance, I would like to do it. Even if he cannot be surrendered to us, he must be killed, lest we have another immeasurable enemy in the future. But after thinking about it , I think, the overall situation is the most important!"

"The big picture matters!"

Liu Bei gave a wry smile and said, "Now Cao Mengde is threatening Gu with these four words. Gu dare to say that if Gu avoids seeing Gu, he will immediately turn his back on him. The main force of Guandu will go north, and the main force of Jiangdong will cross the border. Let the outsiders settle down first!"

He understood Cao Cao's thoughts very well in his heart. Cao Cao was able to talk about it because Beiyan still had enough strength. He couldn't deal with it like Hebei in a short time.

If there is a war, within two or three years, they don't want to attack Jicheng.

If there is no enemy Muming.

Cao Cao doesn't need to be afraid.

But now the Ming court is getting stronger and stronger, and the fighting power of the Ming army is getting stronger and stronger, especially before it was fought against the princes of the world with one person. First attack Jiangdong, then Luoyang, and finally Wancheng. His qualifications are indeed a serious problem for all princes.

This is the opportunity to sit down and chat today.

Otherwise they would have started a war long ago.

"My lord, there is no harm in cooperating now. We need time to laugh at the land of Hebei, strengthen the strength of the Yan State, and strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Yan Army!"

The scribe in Tsing Yi said: "And no matter how strong the Wei army is, it will not be as strong as the Ming army. The Ming army is the big problem. If the Ming army can survive this, I'm afraid we will be defeated one by one!"

I can't blame him for being so depressed. That's the situation. Although the territory occupied by the Ming court is not as good as the Han territory in the Central Plains, it is astonishingly terrifying in terms of combat effectiveness.

After fighting like this, the more you fight, the more courageous you become. You can't eliminate them, you can only be eliminated by them.

"It makes sense!"

Liu Bei said: "However, Cao Mengde is extremely cunning and cunning. If he really wants to attack Gu, with his strength and Jiang Dong's strength, if he can kill Gu here, he will be able to capture Beiyan without any effort. , then their strength will be even stronger!"

"So we have to guard against them!"

The scribe in Tsing Yi said: "The second general will not betray the king. With the second general present, there is always a layer of protection, and we will choose the location and time, which is also an advantage for us!"

"In your opinion, where should we choose?"

"Your Majesty needs to be bolder, so let's guard against them and let them know that we are magnanimous!"

"Say!"

"East Suburbs!"

"Eastern suburb?"

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "It's still a bit dangerous, the army doesn't understand, the eastern suburbs are closer to the main force of the Wei army in the south, and if there is a connection between the eastern suburbs and the northern camp during the deployment of troops in the city, we are the turtles in the urn!"

"This is the only way to show the courage of the king!"

The scribe in Tsing Yi said: "If the king doesn't even have the courage to meet the king of Wei, how can he compete for sovereignty with the king of Wei in the future? An alliance is imperative, but it is still unknown who will be the master and who will be second. He is famous all over the world, if His Majesty cannot show the courage to fear him, how many people in the world, even the Son of Heaven in Xudu, can still trust His Majesty?"

"You mean to let the world know that Gu can suppress Cao Mengde, and those who have their own court will support Gu, and there is still a possibility of Gu entering the court in the future?"

This made Liu Bei a little tempted.

"Your Majesty, an alliance does not mean one heart. Now that there are foreign enemies looking down on us, we are naturally united, but what if there is no threat from the Ming army in the future!" Tsing Yi Scholar said: "Some things need to be planned early, and they seem dangerous. In fact, unless Cao Cao dares to take the risk of sending troops, I will prevent him from dared to, because in his heart, we are just a small problem, and the real enemy is always the Southwest Ming Dynasty. Killing us is tantamount to losing the hearts of the people, and Jiangdong will also Unstable, he knows that very well, so we are actually not in any danger!"

"You're right. A man is a bit cowardly after all. Although you can't enter his Wei camp alone, at least you have the courage to meet him head-on!"

Liu Bei regained his courage, smiled, and said: "And you are right, this battle looks dangerous, but it is not dangerous. If there is my second brother and Zilong escorting me, no one in the world can hurt me at all! "

"Someone, you should walk with the king!"

The scribes in Tsing Yi arched their watches for loyalty.

"No need!"

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "If you go alone, you can still lead the army in the middle. If both of us are trapped in the enemy's camp, Guan Jing keeps plotting, Ju Yi can't believe it. The army has no leader. Wouldn't the overall situation be messed up?" !"

The scribe in Tsing Yi thought for a while, and thought he was right, he said softly: "The three generals are going south soon!"

"Yide is good at fighting, but not good at commanding an army!"

Liu Bei shook his head: "Don't say he's not here, even if he is here, I'm afraid it's hard to take on the heavy responsibility, Wen You, you still need to be in charge of the military talisman, to guard the camp for the lonely, so alone and safe!"

"promise!"

The scribe in Tsing Yi thought for a while and asked, "When will the king plan to make an alliance?"

"It's better sooner than later!"

Liu Bei said: "You immediately send a letter to the city. Tomorrow morning, I will wait for a while at Shiliting in the eastern suburbs!"

"Yes!"

The scribe in Tsing Yi nodded.

..............................

Jia Xu didn't expect that there would be a reaction so soon. Just after returning to the city, the name card sent outside the city was directly sent to Liu Bei, and he quickly sent it to the southern suburbs.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bei agrees!"

"So fast?"

Cao Cao looked at the post written by Liu Bei himself. After a while in the eastern suburbs, it was a bit timid, which made him somewhat impressed.

"I thought he would choose to be near Yanjun, but I didn't expect that he dared to put the meeting place in the eastern suburbs!" Cao Cao squinted his eyes and asked Jia Xu: "Wenhe, do you think he will come?"

"meeting!"

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Your Majesty, just as you have no choice, in fact he has no choice either. Unless he is willing to call Bei Yan out, there is only one battle!"

"He's not that generous!"

Cao Cao shook his head, and then said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, you make arrangements to ensure the safety of Gu and King Wu, that's all. You don't need to do anything else!"

"promise!"

Jia Xu nodded.

He thought for a while and said, "My lord, I talked to Li Ru for a while. He has some arrangements in Xichuan. Maybe Yelou can use it, but he wants gunpowder!"

"Gunpowder, we have worked so hard to get it, and the configuration is still a little short. Although it is powerful, it is not as powerful as the new weapons of the Ming army!"

Cao Cao's face became serious: "It's not impossible to give it to him. After all, the upcoming cooperation will face the Ming army. We don't know how many new weapons the Ming army has!"

"My lord, if it is given to Beiyan, Jiangdong..."

"Give it all!"

Cao Cao's courage, the hero of the ages, is extraordinary in its own right. If you hold it in your hands, it will not show its power in reality, and it will have no effect at all. It is better to let it out.
