The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 152 Pushing all the way horizontally, the momentum is like a broken bamboo!

Although Cao Cao tried his best to mobilize the army to start a counterattack, Liu Bian's army quickly gained a foothold in Yongzhou, Xiangyang, and Yangzhou.

Although Cao Cao's three-way army has a large number of people, after Liu Bian took advantage of the geographical advantage and firearms, it is really difficult for them to counterattack again!
Under pressure, Cao Cao, who had originally established his capital in Xuchang, moved the capital to Luoyang.

Liu Bian's army was as powerful as a broken bamboo, all the way to Luoyang, and as time went by, a large area of ​​Cao Cao's territory was annexed by Liu Bian.

In the next year, Wei Qing, Li Cunxiao, Chen Qingzhi and Chen Bing Hongnong County.

Liu Bian personally led the army, and Huo Qubing, Bai Qi, Lu Bu, and Chen Bing Nanyang.

Ran Min, Han Xin, and Chen Bing of Yingchuan County.

It is half encircling Luoyang!
Among the Yellow Sea, Bohai Sea, and the Yellow River, there is also a naval army led by Zheng Chenggong, ready to move.

For a time, Cao Cao's status was already in jeopardy.

However, because of such pressure, Cao Cao also made a choice. He recruited a lot of troops and hoarded weapons, food and grass, expanding his army to 300 million.

This also aggravated the grievances of the northern people and the suspicion of Yuan Shao's sons.

According to Liu Bian's previous methods, it is natural to create conflicts between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's scholars, and then divide them.

Although the number of his current army has also begun to continue to expand, and there are more than 300 million, but more than 300 million versus more than 300 million, there is nothing other than the advantage of firearms.

If he fights like this, regardless of the outcome, his side will inevitably suffer a serious loss of vitality. This is a situation he does not want to see.

After all, this world has been in troubled times for too long, and it is already poor and weak. If it encounters such a tragic war again, it may be difficult to recover in a while.

Food, grass, and artillery can be manufactured quickly, but it is a long process for young adults to grow up from birth to adulthood!

Once there is a shortage of young and middle-aged people, the surrounding Qianghu and Xianbei will inevitably be coveted. How can this world be stable?

"Your Majesty, in the current situation, it is better to attack Luoyang in one go!" Lu Bu said in a deep voice beside him.

At this moment, he couldn't wait any longer, just waiting for the scene of taking Cao Cao down.

"..." Liu Bian sat in the first place, did not respond, and was deep in thought.

This is definitely not the result he wanted!

It must be to divide Yuan Shao's sons from Cao Cao, and then defeat them one by one!

"What are your concerns, Your Majesty?" Bai Qi next to him stepped forward and asked.

"Ugh……"

Liu Bian sighed and said, "Although we have the advantage in weapons, it's 300 million versus 300 million after all. In the end, even if we win, we'll still be hurt!"

"At that time, if the barbarians around have any ideas, I'm afraid..."

"Alas..." After speaking, Liu Bian sighed again.

"Your Majesty is really deliberate. The last general is reckless. Please forgive me!" Lu Bu realized his problem and quickly bowed to apologize.

After pondering for a while, Liu Bian said, "It is rumored that Cao Cao's 300 million troops, of which 100 million belong to Yuan Shao's sons, is it true?"

"It's true, Your Majesty, but these armies don't directly follow Cao Cao's orders!" Huo Qubing stepped forward to report.

"Do you have any tricks to make them fight among themselves?" Liu Bian asked again.

Bai Qi frowned and said: "I heard that when Cao Cao recruited these four people to surrender, he asked them to send hostages to Xuchang. Unless they don't want such a son, they should not have the heart of rebellion!"

Liu Bian nodded slightly and frowned, "Is there any way to rescue these four people?"

Bai Qi said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Mr. Zhuge also planned this matter, but Cao Cao was afraid that Yuan Shao's sons would rebel, so he kept the four protons by his side and never left them. He called it, teaching knowledge in person... "

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

Liu Bian knocked on the table with his left hand, lost in thought.

If they attacked by force, there would be no problem in taking Luoyang.

But he also knows what kind of painful price he will pay for this battle!

"Your Majesty, if you want to divide them now, you must use the nearby Qianghu, Xianbei, and Gaogouli to invade the border, or..."

Bai Qi hesitated to speak.

"General, you can say it directly, don't worry too much, it's just to discuss countermeasures!" Liu argued.

Bai Qi took a deep breath, "Send assassins to assassinate these four sons. They will do it non-stop. When the time comes, the scene will be arranged into a leaky scene, so that Yuan Shao and his disciples will no longer have to worry!"

"At this time, His Majesty sent a courtier to surrender, and made enough promises, and the other party would naturally agree!"

"After all, according to the current situation, if His Majesty intends to attack by force and rule the world, it is only in sight!"

"Smart people always make the smartest choices!"

"At that time, when the world is unified and these people are removed, there will be no worries!"

"It is not advisable to use the strength of the surrounding small countries to invade the border of the big Han!" Huo Qubing stepped forward and said: "Although these small countries are weak, they are also wolfish ambitions. If there is a chance, they will not let it go easily!"

"How can I let these small countries easily touch my world?"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Huo Qubing spoke resolutely, and Bai Qi also echoed, "What I said is also a remonstrance, and I also agree with what General Huo Qubing said!"

"Hmm~" Liu Bian nodded slightly, it was really inappropriate to involve these small countries around him.

If you want them to join, you must give them a generous promise!

These small countries are different from Yuan Shao's disciples. If they fail to fulfill their promises, they will definitely be ridiculed by them. This is definitely not what he wants to see.

And he will have to deal with these small countries sooner or later, so if he makes a promise at this time, how can he deal with them in the future?
At that time, he will definitely be given the title of reneging on his promise and repaying his revenge, which is not very pleasant!

but……

Assassinating the proton sent by Yuan Shao's sons to Cao Cao is definitely not an aboveboard act, and it may even arouse the suspicion of Yuan Shao's masters, after all, what happened at this time is too coincidental!
"Your Majesty, now there is only one test, and if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent, otherwise the Yuan Shao princes will never retreat!" Bai Qi saw the hesitation in his Majesty's heart.

"Your Majesty, it is worth it to exchange the lives of the four of them for peace in the world!" Lu Bu said.

"Your Majesty, please give me an order. I will select a few experts to deal with this matter!" Huo Qubing stepped forward and bowed.

To be honest, isn't it worth exchanging the lives of four of them for millions of lives?

Of course it's worth it!
And it's a huge profit!
However, this also has to bear a certain risk, that is, to leave evidence to make Yuan Shao's disciples resist him even more.

But after much deliberation, they are not so friendly to him now anyway, so Liu Bian frowned and made up his mind, "If that's the case, let's do as you said!"

"But since something has to be done, it must be done beautifully, and there must be no flaws left, lest Yuan Shao and his disciples become resentful towards me!"

"This hatred will increase the combat power of the army in their hands!"
