Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 603 Begging for Qingzhou
"I heard that Cao Mengde brought back more than half of the soldiers and horses stationed in the south, just to guard against me?"

After Tan Ma came back to report the news, Liu Wei summoned his advisers to discuss the matter.

"Hehe, the lord is so powerful, how can Cao thief not guard against it!"

Guo Jia laughed.

"Since Meng De is so defensive against me, wouldn't it be a waste of his hard work if I don't do something!"

Liu Wei also laughed.

"My lord, you can't. Now that Jizhou is newly established, the people's hearts are not stable. The soldiers have gone through several hard battles and are exhausted. How can we go to war again!"

Tian Feng is a straight person, and directly persuaded Liu Wei.

"Hey, Yuan Hao, what are you in a hurry for? I didn't even say that I would send troops to attack Cao Cao!"

Liu Wei felt a little funny, this Tian Feng is really not in a hurry for the emperor and eunuchs.

"But isn't the lord's intention to attack Cao Cao?"

Tian Feng was puzzled.

"Yuan Hao, you don't know how to bluff. This king wants to beat wolves with hemp sticks. We are both afraid. Whoever coaxes first will lose!"

Liu Wei explained.

But the more Liu Wei explained Tian Feng, the more confused he became. What does it mean to be afraid at both ends?

Seeing that Tian Feng was getting more and more confused, Liu Wei didn't want to explain anymore, so he said again: "Okay, Yuan Hao, you don't have to worry, don't worry, this king will never use troops against Cao Mengde, but this king Take some benefits from Cao Mengde! You can govern Jizhou for this king with peace of mind!"

"Here!"

Seeing that Liu Wei intended not to use troops, Tian Feng felt relieved.

On the same day, Liu Wei ordered Dianwei and Yuexi to lead an army of [-] to the bank of the Yellow River, search for boats, and pretended to cross the river.

Cao Cao immediately issued a letter to Liu Wei, asking what Liu Wei meant.

Yecheng, in the Prince's Mansion of Hebei.

"Hehe, this Cao Heizi actually asked me what I mean!"

Liu Wei laughed while holding the letter sent by Cao Cao.

On the other hand, Guo Jia shook his head, and said, "My lord played a good hand, I'm afraid neither thief Cao nor my senior brother can guess what lord means!"

"That's natural. Who is this king? It took thousands of years to come out like this!"

Liu Wei licked his big 13 face, boasting.

Guo Jiaxin said: "Isn't it? How long will it take to produce such a treasure as you!"

Liu Wei read Cao Cao's letter several times, and said, "It is estimated that with Cao Heizi's IQ, he would not be able to comprehend the meaning of this king. Wait for this king to teach him!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Wei picked up a pen and wrote on it: "Brother Meng De, I haven't seen you for several years, and I miss you very much. Is my sister-in-law still in good health now? I heard that several young nephews are capable of writing and martial arts. I am very envious, dog I'm not talented, but I can beat my elder brother's handicapped man (here refers to Liu An's defeat of Xiahou Dun). Today, my elder brother asked me what I meant by the Art of War of the Yellow River. I will tell you the truth. When Yuan Benchu ​​humiliated me, I used all my soldiers and horses. It took a lot of effort and several years to defeat Yuan Benchu, but someone took away a big state from Yuan Benchu ​​without a single soldier. How does this make me feel at ease, so I am going to send troops Teach that brazen person a lesson and let him return to me the land he swindled from Yuan Benchu!"

After finishing writing, Liu Wei dried up the ink, picked it up and read it several times, and when he felt it was correct, he handed it to Guo Jia for him to read it again.

After reading it, the country felt that there were black lines all over its head, and said in its heart, you are too cheating, you are clearly blackmailing.

After reading it for a while, Guo Jia couldn't bear to read it any longer, so he returned the letter to Liu Wei and said, "The lord is thoughtful, the words are appropriate, and there is no mistake in the slightest. I admire, admire!"

"Really? Is my writing really that good?"

Liu Wei didn't look at Guo Jia's expression, thinking that Guo Jia was really praising himself again, so he hurriedly took it over, looked at it twice, and kept nodding: "Okay, it's really good, if you weren't born in troubled times, you would be This king's literary talent is also a great writer, and the poems and songs he writes will definitely be passed down through the ages!"

After Liu Wei finished speaking, Guo Jia almost vomited. He thought that there are such brazen people in this world. Just this letter of yours, if you show it to others, it will drown you with spit. How did you write those poems.

But Liu Wei was immersed in Guo Jia's compliments to him, so he didn't have the mood to look at Guo Jia, so he shouted directly: "Come on, send this letter to Cao Heizi!"

... A few days later, Cao Cao received a reply from Liu Wei. After opening it and reading it, he threw his heart on the ground and cursed: "Shameless you, shameless you, Liu Ziyan, Liu Ziyan, how can you do that?" Shameless to this extent!"

Xi Zhicai came over, picked up the letter, read it once, smiled and said: "My lord, why should you be angry, Liu Wei is blackmailing you, if you want to blackmail Qingzhou, just don't give it to the scoundrels, why get angry! "

"But if I don't give it, one hundred thousand Hebei troops will cross the river!"

Cao Cao said.

"My lord, you don't have to worry. It is absolutely impossible for Liu Ziyan to cross the river. Jizhou is newly established and the people's hearts are not stable. Liu Ziyan has only so many troops under his command. Not all of them must be used for any expedition. His troops have already been exhausted. It’s okay to pull it out and pretend, but if it really fights, the combat effectiveness may not even be as good as it was in its heyday.”

Cao Cao saw it, and it was Xun You who spoke.

Cheng Yu also opened his mouth and said: "My lord, what Gongda said is true. Liu Wei is just bluffing, and Sun Ce is the current enemy. He has a boat in his hand and can cross the river with ease. In addition, he attacked Xuzhou last time. You have tasted the sweetness. After this guy was kicked out of Xuzhou by us, he has been eyeing Xuzhou. Now, my lord, you have transferred all the troops from the south to the north. After Sun Ce heard the news, he ordered Zhou Yu to lead his troops and prepare to attack Xuzhou and the Jianghuai area again. .”

"This Sun Bofu, can't he see that Liu Wei is the biggest enemy? If I lose, will Liu Wei let him go?"

Cao Cao cursed angrily.

"My lord is right, but after all, he and Liu Wei are in Hebei and the other in Jiangnan, and there are many places in between. There is no conflict of interest, so Sun Bofu is like a vicious dog, staring at us! "

Xun Yu said.

"Hmph! I want to revise Liu Bei, and I want to join forces with him to deal with Sun Ce!"

Cao Cao then said: "Xun Yu, you, together with Xun You and Cheng Yu, guarded the north to prevent Liu Wei from going south, so you went south with this king. First deal with Sun Ce, and then kill his vigor!"

After saying that, Cao Cao immediately wrote a letter to Liu Bei, saying that he wanted to attack Sun Ce together and divide Jiangdong equally.
