The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 495
"What, you said Cao Cao wanted to kill me?" Zhou Yu was shocked after hearing Li Yuan's words. Although the relationship between him and Cao Cao was not good, he didn't expect Cao Cao to kill him.

"Yes."

"It stands to reason that the relationship between me and Cao Cao should not have reached this point. Why did he want to kill me? Will he deliberately test your loyalty?" Zhou Yu doubted, and he felt that this possibility was relatively high.

"I don't know either. Maybe it was to test me on purpose. Maybe he can really trust me only by doing this." Li Yuan felt that what Zhou Yu said was not unreasonable.

Zhou Yu lowered his head in thought, and finally said after a long time: "If Cao Cao really wants to kill me, then we must think of a way to evacuate as soon as possible, otherwise we won't be able to leave if we want to."

"By the way, Gongjin, are the people around you absolutely loyal to you? Could it be someone from Cao Cao?" Li Yuan suddenly remembered something.

"They are all trustworthy people, and just in case I have dismissed more than half of the servants, leaving only five or six people. Do you think there are Cao Cao people around me?" Zhou Yu heard Li Yuan the meaning of.

"Cao Cao told me today that he knew that you were in collusion with Li Yuan, so I wondered if someone leaked it to Cao Cao, otherwise how could he know that you were in touch with me." Li Yuan told Zhou Yu what Cao Cao said.

"Cao Cao would know that I colluded with you. It is unlikely that it leaked from me. Maybe it leaked from Chen Liu. Didn't you also send other people to Chen Liu?" Zhou Yu had confidence in herself, He didn't think it leaked from him.

"I sent Xi Zhicai to Chenliu." Li Yuan glanced at Zhou Yu, and when he saw his handsome face, he suddenly asked a somewhat inexplicable question, "Are you married?"

"We're married... why are you asking this all of a sudden." Zhou Yu seemed to be looking at Li Yuan for a fool.

Li Yuan asked again: "Is the wife at home beautiful?"

"Li Yuan, don't go too far!" Zhou Yu was angry, as long as a man hears such words, he will be angry.

"Answer me quickly, I'm serious." Li Yuan looked serious, not joking at all.

Zhou Yu saw that Li Yuan was so serious, so he could only reluctantly say: "Although it is not a stately beauty, it is also a high-quality beauty, which is not inferior to your Yu'er."

"I know why Cao Cao wanted to kill you, it was for your wife!" Li Yuan stood up abruptly, the reason why he dared to say that was because he knew Cao Cao was a good wife.

In "history", Cao Cao's wives and concubines basically robbed others. The most famous of them was that Zhang Xiu had surrendered to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao fell in love with Zhang Xiu's widow and aunt. After taking away Dian Wei's double halberds, he took the opportunity to lead troops to attack Cao Cao. Dian Wei fought to the rear, and Cao Cao managed to escape, but he also indirectly killed Dian Wei and Cao Ang.

Zhou Yu felt that Li Yuan was crazy when he heard it. With Cao Cao's personality, how could he want to kill him for a woman, and said, "Li Yuan, did you drink too much? How could Cao Cao do such a thing."

Li Yuan was not crazy, he asked seriously: "I ask you, since you are already married, why have I never seen her with you?"

"She went to Chenliu to take care of Mrs. Wu."

"I heard you say that she was originally here, but she went to Chenliu later, and she asked to go to Chenliu herself. Am I right?" Li Yuan guessed.

"How do you know?" Zhou Yu looked at Li Yuan in disbelief.

"It's not easy. If my prediction is correct, Cao Cao should have secretly wanted to take your lady into the mansion secretly. At that time, you were still fighting outside, so you didn't know about it. Your lady rejected Cao Cao, but she was afraid that Cao Cao would not give up. She was even more worried about affecting your official career, so she proposed to go to Chenliu to take care of Mrs. Wu." Li Yuan seemed to be Cao Cao himself, and knew about this matter very well.

"Although what you said is a bit nonsense, it seems to have some truth." Zhou Yu carefully recalled that when his wife left in a hurry, there was indeed something wrong in retrospect.

Li Yuan went on to say: "Why did Cao Cao ask me to kill you instead of Dian Wei? I think it's because he sent Dian Wei to find your lady before. Dian Wei is a very honest person. He definitely doesn't like to do it." This kind of thing, but he had to obey Cao Cao's order. Later, Cao Cao found out that Dian Wei was not hiding it, so he didn't ask Dian Wei to perform the task this time, but sent me to do it, and asked me to keep it absolutely secret, because if If this matter gets out, I'm afraid Dian Wei, Guo Jia and others will guess Cao Cao's true intentions."

Now Li Yuan finally understood why Cao Cao used Dian Wei to assassinate Zhou Yu instead of Dian Wei. It turned out that it was all for women.

"What a Cao Aman, what a hungry and shameless person!" Zhou Yu punched the table, and the cups on the table were knocked over.

"It's actually very easy to prove Cao Cao's intention." Li Yuan thought of a way.

"How to prove it?" Zhou Yu was so angry that his body trembled.

"That is to let you die."

"Let me die, are you going to kill me?" Zhou Yu asked in amazement.

"Of course not. I meant to make you fake death. Although Cao Cao gave me a difficult task, it was a blessing in disguise. I suddenly thought of a way to deal with him, and I can help you quickly evacuate Yecheng." Li Yuan I thought of a strategy of killing two birds with one stone.

Zhou Yu said anxiously: "What kind of plan, please tell General Li quickly."

"I pretended to kill you, transported you outside the city and buried you, and then used Lu Su's identity as a businessman to cover you and go to Xiapi, so that you can leave Yecheng, and Cao Cao will not doubt you." Li Yuan speaks out his plan.

"But Cao Cao is not so easy to deceive. He has to see my dead body to believe that I am dead." Zhou Yu thinks this plan is not good enough.

"You can rest assured, do you know Zhang Ji of Baicaotang?"

"The Baicaotang established by General Li is famous all over the world. How could I not know that Zhang Ji is the chief doctor of Baicaotang. His medical skills are so superb that everyone knows him, and there are countless people who ask him to heal him." Zhou Yu had already heard. I have said that Baicaotang Zhang Ji.

"That's right, the old man Zhang Ji is very skilled in medicine. I remember he once told me a prescription, saying that after taking it, people can appear the symptoms of suspended animation within twelve hours. I can’t get it out, I still remember this prescription, after you take this medicine, after you appear symptoms of suspended animation, I will secretly transport you out of the city, put it in a coffin, and let Cao Cao check it out, and I will personally in front of Cao Cao If he buries you, he will definitely believe that you are really dead." Li Yuan had already thought up a detailed plan.
