The Three Kingdoms: The strategist will stop, and Rome will be unified

Chapter 125 The Crusade against Cao Cao
Mi Zhu patted his thigh and said with a smile: "Brother Xuande, look at my memory, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten it."

Then he flashed brightly, Liu Bei had already sat down firmly on Xuzhou Mu, so the next step was naturally to hug his thighs tightly.

"There is also a younger sister in my family, named Mi Yun. She has mentioned to me Brother Xuande many times, and she has been in love with you for a long time."

"I came here today for this matter, what do you think Brother Xuande wants?"

Mi Zhu looked at Liu Bei with a smile.

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and instantly knew what this meant, which meant that all the resources of Mi's Chamber of Commerce would be poured into it without reservation!

Didn't expect such a good thing to happen?

Liu Bei said with a smile: "I had already intended this for Mi Yun, but I was tied down by righteousness, so I didn't take the initiative to mention it. I'm afraid I failed her."

With the excuse of righteousness, he perfectly explained the reason.

But Mi Zhu laughed and said: "Haha, how could it be, if the little girl knows, she will be delighted, why not set the wedding in a month?"

Seeing Mi Zhu directly draw a conclusion, Liu Bei nodded with a smile and said, "Very good."

Then in Xuzhou City, the news of Liu Bei's marriage with the Mi family spread instantly, and the whole Xuzhou became lively, and countless people began to put up lanterns and festoons to prepare for the future.

As soon as Liu Bei took office in Xuzhou, he married Mi's family. On such a happy day, Mi's family is the chamber of commerce, so naturally there is no stinginess about the wedding a month later.

But at this moment, who can remember that Pang Tong died less than a week ago, and Liu Bei had the cheek to mention marriage.

Even the spirit card of Pang Tong Qiqi 49 days is not guarded by anyone.

A few days ago, she was still crying in Xuzhou, crying and howling, and married Jiao Niang in the next few days. It is really benevolent and righteous, it is really impressive!
After hearing the news, Zhao Feng and others couldn't help but admire Liu Bei.

At the same time, Xiaopei, in Lu Bu's territory, an edict was delivered here at this moment, and Lu Bu smiled as he looked at the edict.

He understood Cao Cao's meaning very well. Now the secret edict in Liu Bei's hand has been clarified to be false, but now the real imperial edict has been placed on Lu Bu's side.

This means that he, Lu Bu, is the real Xuzhou Mu, and attacking Liu Bei is just to recover the lost ground.

Lu Bu asked with a smile: "Gongtai, what do you think?"

At this moment, Lu Bu had an extra counselor, and it was Chen Gongtai, Chen Gongtai, who was regarded as a military advisor by him as soon as he came to Lu Bu's place.

Chen Gong smiled lightly and said, "Cao Cao is now helping us to rectify our name, and we will win the hearts of the people when we attack Xuzhou!"

Although the emperor is nothing to the princes, among the common people, the emperor is still very prestigious.

After all, when it comes to the Son of Heaven, he is deliberately deified in the eyes of the common people. Under the imperial decree, he naturally agrees with the hearts of the people.

Chen Gong glanced at Lu Bu again and said, "Since this is the case, why should we refuse? As long as we defeat Liu Bei, what's wrong with occupying Xuzhou?"

Lu Bu nodded, just a few words moved him, and Chen Gong continued: "Now that the lord and Liu Bei are in Xuzhou, it means that there is destined to be a war between us!"

"For us, there are only benefits to accepting the imperial edict, and the disadvantages are negligible."

Speaking of this, Liu Bei's eyes flickered slightly, obviously a decision had been made.

"Okay, then I will take this Xuzhou Mu!"

At this moment, the little Xuzhou accommodates two princes, Liu Bei and Lu Bu have not many troops, but both sides are also strengths that cannot be underestimated.

And Zhao Feng was aware of this, and deliberately issued an edict to Lu Bu, asking him to curb Liu Bei's development.

You must know that with Lu Bu's strength, it is absolutely no problem to contain Liu Bei, and it is also using Liu Bei's power to contain Lu Bu's development!
It is also beneficial and harmless for Cao Cao to let the two princes compete for Xuzhou and contain each other.

Because these two great princes have great potential, it happens that the two are in a balance of power, perfectly curbing the development of the other side, just like the emperor's balancing technique, the two are in balance.

Moreover, these two people have their own suspicions, so Xuzhou will definitely fight, and the most important point is that Yanzhou is close to Xuzhou!
If it is a battle between two people, Cao Cao is the only one who reaps the benefits of the fisherman!
However, if the battle cannot be fought, Zhao Feng can immediately mobilize troops to take down the two princes in one fell swoop, how deep is this calculation!
At the same time, in Xuzhou, Liu Bei did not forget his hatred for Cao Cao, and he was thinking deeply with his eyes.

Since this secret edict can win Xuzhou, why not use the secret edict to continue making fuss?
As long as you use the secret edict as a reason, gather the princes to attack Cao Cao!
If he could recruit a few allies, Liu Bei would not have to be so afraid of Cao Cao.

At the beginning of the crusade against Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu, the princes of the world could gather so many soldiers and horses. Why didn't I, Liu Bei, use the secret edict as an excuse to influence the princes of the world?
On the same day in Xuzhou, under Liu Bei's deliberate propaganda, a message came out from Xuzhou.

"Cao Cao coerced the emperor to command the princes. He looked like a loyal minister, but he was actually a simple thief. Today, Xuande came here with a secret edict to summon the heroes of the world to attack the Cao bandits."

A long list of appeals was issued, filled with countless words to smear Cao Cao. However, the appeal for thieves was released for several days, and no one responded at all.

Liu Bei only has the ability to know people, but he is still close in strategy.

Obviously, he was stupefied by his own naive thoughts. Dong Zhuona was in trouble for the government and the people were in dire straits, while Yuan Shu established himself as emperor and rebelled in public!

However, as for Cao Cao, you can only say that you are holding the emperor to order the princes, and this is still a one-sided statement.

May I ask who saw Cao Cao threatening the emperor in public?
Moreover, the people in the counties and counties managed by Cao Cao live and work in peace and contentment, and even the taxes are [-]% lower than those of the counties and counties under the jurisdiction of other princes.

Because of the promotion of the farming system, he took the initiative to reclaim wasteland for countless refugees and donated them cattle and Quyuanli. Countless people are grateful.

Now Cao Cao's reputation in the eyes of the people is much better than that of Liu Bei.

But now that Liu Bei insulted Cao Cao like this, countless people reviled him, and at the same time, even Yuan Shao couldn't help insulting Liu Bei's idiot.

Coupled with the edict issued by the young emperor Liu Bian, the identities of Liu Bei's Han family clan were all false, so Liu Bei lost countless people's hearts.

I have to say that this move was like Liu Bei shooting himself in the foot. Not only did he fail to recruit reliable friends, but he also lost a lot of reputation.

Today's Cao Cao has a talent for acting in internal affairs, but there is no negative evaluation in the mouths of the people.

As for those who moved their capital to Xuchang and summoned the princes of the world, although these people have heard about it, how can they know the meaning of it, they can only eat melons and watch the show.

As soon as the result of Liu Bei's move came out, Chen Gong, who was far away in Xiaopei, seized the opportunity, so he laughed.

"My lord, this is a good opportunity!"

"This Liu Bei looks down on us!"

After hearing this, Lu Bu looked suspicious, and he didn't know what Chen Gong was laughing at, so he couldn't help asking: "Gongtai, what's so ridiculous?"
