"Bai Chuan is from a poor family. A poor family was so highly used by the prime minister and even sent to Xu Du. What does that mean?"

"The prime minister intends to suppress the gentry!"

"How can the gentry be willing to do this kind of thing?"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Cao Zhi was puzzled and said:

"How could this be a good opportunity?"

Yang Xiu said in a deep voice:

"My lord, think about it carefully, the relationship between you and the gentry is pretty good on weekdays."

"If you can get the full support of the gentry, even if the prime minister is not willing to let the son be the son, the gentry will not agree."

"The power of the gentry must not be underestimated."

"You might as well take advantage of this time to suppress Bai Chuan together with the gentry."

Cao Zhi immediately waved his hands and said:

"Not right! Not right, Dezu!"

"Isn't this nonsense?"

"Bai Chuan is now in charge of defending the city. If he confronts him at this time, wouldn't it disrupt military affairs?"

"If your father finds out about this kind of thing, do you think your father will be happy?"

Yang Xiu shook his head and said:

"No!"

"My lord, please don't worry, I'm just helping the flames secretly."

"My lord, you don't need to express your opinion too much, leave the rest to me."

"Also, no matter how the gentry make trouble, it is impossible for Bai Chuan to fall."

"Because behind Bai Chuan is the prime minister!"

Cao Zhi was stunned for a moment:

"Then it shouldn't be the opposite of Bai Chuan."

"Isn't this disobeying the meaning of my father?"

Yang Xiu nodded and said:

"No, son."

"The prime minister's move is at most just to check and balance the power of the gentry, so as not to let the gentry family dominate."

"Bai Chuan is the highest, that is, he can sit on an equal footing with the gentry, and will not surpass the gentry."

"Therefore, the prime minister is not looking at Bai Chuan, but the humble family."

"The power of the humble family!"

"Therefore, Bai Chuan is irrelevant, we just need to get the support of the gentry and win the throne first."

Hearing Yang Xiu's analysis, Cao Zhi slowly sat on the chair, frowning and thinking carefully.

What Yang Xiu said was indeed true.

But... now that the enemy is approaching, it would be too risky to do so.

Bai Chuan had an army in his hands, and the task of defending Xudu was entirely in the hands of him and the soldiers in the northern border.

At this time, isn't it adding to the chaos?

But seeing Yang Xiu's confident appearance, Cao Zhi could only grit his teeth and said cruelly:

"According to Dezu's wishes!"

"However, be careful!"

"Dezu, your father was also deceived by the gentry, don't forget the face of these gentry."

"They can do anything for their own benefit!"

Yang Xiu smiled slightly and said:

"Young master, please rest assured that the minister will handle it properly."

……

At this time, an inexplicable undercurrent surged throughout Xuchang City.

Many forces are ready to move.

The target is not the Ma Teng and Liu Bei coalition forces that are about to approach the city.

Instead, it was Bai Chuan and the gentry.

At first when Bai Chuan went to suppress the Xiongnu, these gentry didn't take it seriously.

Now they have all come to Xudu, and they are still giving orders.

These gentry were completely dissatisfied.

There are more and more gentry opposing Bai Chuan, but they dare not make too much noise.

All of them spoke nicely, but they were all secretly waiting for Cao Cao to come back for impeachment.

Chapter 1 The great man is declining, the country will not be the country!

At the same time, in a small village not far from Xuchang.

"Hahahaha, brother Shoucheng, please sit down, please sit down!"

Liu Bei said with a smile on his face.

Ma Teng also had a smile on his face, and said with a smile:

"Brother Xuande is too polite!"

"Come on, finish this cup!"

As early as two months ago, Ma Teng had kept in touch with Zhuge Liang.

Ever since he knew that Cao Cao planned to point his sword at Jiangdong, Zhuge Liang had been planning his way out.

After all, the strength gap between Jiangdong and Cao Cao can be seen in the eyes.

As long as there is a mistake, Cao Cao is very likely to directly suppress the army and annex Jiangdong completely.

After that, what will happen to Liu Bei is self-evident.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang set his sights on Xu Du.

Cao Cao brought so many troops to the south this time, but there were not many defenders in Xudu.

At this time, attacking Xudu is undoubtedly an excellent thing.

And the best ally is Ma Teng who is far away in Xiliang.

Ma Teng has been suppressed by Cao Cao for so many years, and he has long been dissatisfied in his heart.

Zhuge Liang also tried it out, but he got on the line unexpectedly.

For fear of leaking the news, Zhuge Liang didn't even inform Liu Bei until the end.

But Liu Bei didn't care too much.

After all, if Liu Bei had known about this a long time ago, he would not have made an alliance with Jiangdong.

When the suspicious Cao Cao sees it, he will definitely think about it.

"Brother Shoucheng! Now that the great man is in decline, the country will lose its power!"

"The Cao thief took the emperor to order the princes, it is really heartbreaking!"

"I, Liu Bei, although my strength is meager, I also want to help the Han Dynasty."

"Since the failure of the clothing belt edict, the Han Dynasty is almost on the verge of extinction."

"Without the help of General Shoucheng this time, how could we have the opportunity to attack Xudu?"

"Brother Shoucheng, I offer you a toast!"

While speaking, Liu Bei touched his tears quietly, and immediately drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp.

This move directly made Ma Teng stunned.

What Kuang Fu Han room?

What Ma Teng was thinking about was just wanting to capture Xudu and other counties and cities, so as to give Xiliang people a better living condition.

However, since Liu Bei has said so, Ma Teng has no choice but to save face, so he just smiled and said:

"Hahaha! Well said!"

"The emperor is in trouble, we should rescue him!"

"Brother Xuande is really a loyal minister of my great man!"

"Don't dare to be, dare not be, Brother Shoucheng is the pillar of the great man!"

The two bragged for a while, and they had drunk three rounds.

At this time, Zhuge Liang was quietly fanning the feather fan, without saying a word.

He slowly looked at the twinkling stars in the sky, with all kinds of thoughts in his heart.

Bai Chuan, no matter how much you think about it, you never imagined that our army and Ma Teng will join hands now, right?

That being the case, how should you deal with it?

Zhuge Liang was never afraid of having a strong enemy, but was afraid of not having one.

Now Bai Chuan is Zhuge Liang's first and only strong enemy.

As soon as I came out of the mountain, I was repeatedly frustrated.

Moreover, he was hunted down by Cao Jun and almost lost his life together with Liu Bei.

All of this was secretly manipulated by Bai Chuan.

But now, even if Bai Chuan has a plan, it may be difficult to implement.

There are too few soldiers and horses in his hands, and he has to take into account the war in the north by the Huns.

With all these comings and goings, how many troops will be able to defend Xudu?

The front line also brought battle reports, saying that soldiers from the northern border were still fighting Huchuquan, and they didn't seem to notice the movements of Ma Teng and his party.

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

However, Zhuge Liang absolutely did not expect that the northern border army had already ambushed in various places, waiting for the arrival of the coalition forces.

After all, the main battlefield today should actually be in Chibi.

And Baichuan's main battlefield should be in the direction of the Huns.

Under such a situation of being attacked on both sides, even if Xu Du was attacked, no one would be able to spare a hand to rescue him.

"Mr. Bai, I want to see how you will respond!"

Zhuge Liang murmured, talking to himself.

However, at this time, although there were laughter and laughter in the camp, there was one person whose heart was extremely cold.

This person is Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun could clearly feel that he seemed to be isolated at this moment.

Guan and Zhang, as well as other soldiers were drinking, but they didn't bring themselves.

Zhao Yun really didn't understand what he did wrong.

Since the first battle at Changbanpo, this feeling has become stronger and stronger.

The two of Guan and Zhang even chatted happily with Pang De and Ma Chao, and even practiced martial arts in public.
