After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

Cheng Yu suddenly realized: "So, Jiang Xia can be broken!"

Liu Ye smiled: "If the Prime Minister is going to Hanjinkou with heavy troops, Liu Bei will be in a hurry to escape. Now that he only sends Cao Hong and Yu Jin there, Liu Bei will relax his vigilance. The Prime Minister is buying time for Zhang Yun!"

"That's right!" Cao Cao nodded and gave Liu Ye a look of approval.

Liu Ye cupped his hands: "The prime minister's strategy is to attack the east and attack the west, but there is one thing that I don't understand?"

Cao Cao said: "Tell me and listen!"

Liu Ye said: "To capture Jiangxia County, why did Zhang Yun go alone? In terms of water warfare, Cai Mao's experience should be better than Zhang Yun's!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly: "This is about the three-step strategy to destroy Liu Bei!"

Everyone was shocked again.

"A three-step strategy is required to destroy Liu Bei?"

"So, the surprise attack on Jiang Xia is just one step?"

"Mr. Cao Ji is too scary, right?"

In the face of everyone's doubts and puzzles, Cao Cao slowly explained: "To defeat Liu Bei's army and civilians, taking Jiangling City is the first step. Taking advantage of Liu Qi's troops to meet Liu Bei, Zhang Yun's surprise attack on Jiangxia is only the second step..."

Cheng Yu'an couldn't bear the excitement, and hurriedly asked: "Prime Minister, what is Mr. Cao Ji's third strategy?"

Cao Cao said, "Guess what!"

Immediately there was heated discussion in the big tent.

"The third step must be to encircle Liu Bei and Liu Qi in Jiangxia."

"I guess Cai Mao must be ambushing in the waters near Jiangxia!"

"There are many waterways around Jiangxia, how do you know which waterway Liu Qi is taking?"

Everyone was arguing endlessly, most of them believed that Cai Mao was ambushing Liu Qi and Liu Bei in the waters near Jiangxia.

Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Just imagine, how would Liu Qi and Liu Bei react when they learned that Jiang Xia had fallen?"

Cheng Yu was the first to speak: "Jiangxia City has been stolen, Liu Qi dare not live in Jiangxia for a long time!"

Xun You said bluntly: "Liu Bei has long intended to defect to Sun Quan of Soochow, and he may take this opportunity to go to Jiangdong!"

"That's right!" Cao Cao said, "There is a necessary waterway to go to Jiangdong!"

"Sanjiangkou!" Xun Yu and Cheng Yu said at the same time.

Liu Ye was shocked and said: "So, General Cai Mao has already ambushed Liu Bei at Sanjiangkou!"

"Exactly!" Cao Cao nodded. "This is the third step. Set up an ambush on the waterway that Liu Bei must pass through. He will either die or be injured!"

"High!" Cheng Yu spoke first.

Xun You said: "Mr. Cao Ji predicted the enemy first, and he is willing to bow down!"

Jiang Gan shook his head: "This three-step strategy, it seems that Mr. Cao Ji has already expected it before sending out troops!"

Liu Ye shook his head again and again: "Mr. Cao Ji is worthy of being the number one military adviser in the army, I admire, admire!"

"Unfortunately, Mr. Cao Ji doesn't like to show his face in the army!" Jia Xu shook his head and sighed.

Cao Cao waved his hand: "Everyone, wait for the news!"

"I'll leave!" Everyone bowed their hands and retreated, and there was another heated discussion about Cao Ji that night.

At this time, the real Cao Ji was accompanying Zhao Yun to fight the landlord with the fake Cao Ji in the big tent.

For the game of Fighting Landlords, Zhao Yun seems not very familiar with it.

Cao Pi, who was watching the excitement, pointed him out many times.

"Young master, why don't you come? I don't like these things very much!" Zhao Yun took the initiative to give up his position, and he never experienced a single day of stability by Liu Bei's side.

After entering Cao Ying, besides eating and drinking, he played and played. Although it was the period of recuperating from his injuries, Zhao Yun was still at a loss.

"Okay, then I'll come, and I'll make blood for them both today!" Without saying a word, Cao Pi took the poker cards and started a war with Liu Xian and Lao Huang.

After a while, Zhao Da entered, "Sir, the Prime Minister has just sent Cao Hong and General Yu Jin to Hanjinkou to attack Liu Bei!"

Cao Pi put down his poker cards and asked in confusion, "Why did you let these two go? Aren't generals like Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, and Zhang He more brave?"

Zhao Da didn't speak, but looked at Liu Xian.

Liu Xian smiled: "The prime minister sent these two people there, it is very correct!"

Cao Pi was shocked: "Master, why is this?"

Even Zhao Yun looked at Liu Xian curiously.

Liu Xian put down his poker, and said slowly, "Because the Prime Minister wants to instigate Zhang Yun to attack Jiangxia, he must send people to contain Liu Bei at Hanjinkou. If he sends a strong general, Liu Bei will definitely not dare to fight. Otherwise, if the two go, Liu Bei will dare to fight with you." One fight!"

"So it is!" Cao Pi suddenly realized.

Zhao Yun's face was full of shock.

Chapter 141 Liu Bei Flees Hanjinkou, Jiangxia City Lost?

Hanjinkou, Liu Bei camp.

Knowing that Cao Cao sent Cao Hong and Yu Jin to attack, Liu Bei finally let go of the stone hanging in his heart.

After discussing with Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to lead [-] troops to stop Cao Hong and Yu Jin.

The retreat is proceeding in an orderly manner, and everyone in the camp is busy.

Liu Bei grabbed Zhuge Liang's hand and pulled him to sit down and drink together.

But Zhuge Liang was frowning.

Liu Bei raised his glass and said: "Why is the military commander unhappy, but what's on your mind?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "After hearing what the lord told about Zilong, Liang's heart is in a mess right now!"

"Hey!" Liu Bei sighed, "Zilong wants to leave, and I can't keep him!"

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, and said: "The matter of Zilong is a foregone conclusion, and that's not what I'm worried about!"

"Oh?" Liu Bei was puzzled: "What else is there to worry about?"

Zhuge Liang put down his wine glass and said bluntly: "My lord, Cao Cao led his troops to station in Jiangling City, and all the troops are gathering one after another. At this time, only Cao Hong and Yu Jin are sent here, but I am puzzled!"

Liu Bei asked: "Could it be that Cao Cao wants to lead an army to Hanjinkou himself?"

Zhuge Liang continued: "If there is no Cao Ji by Cao Cao's side, maybe there is such a possibility!"

"The military advisor is worried about Cao Ji!" Liu Bei's obscene look immediately appeared in Liu Bei's mind, and Lao Huang's cheap smile could even be heard in his ears.

That feeling, to Liu Bei, was more disgusting than eating a fly.

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly to indicate that Cao Ji's identity was in doubt, as if it appeared out of thin air.

There is a saying in the art of war, know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles.

Over the years, Zhuge Liang has been studying Cao Cao's art of war.

He is well aware of Cao Cao's military habits and even his subordinate generals.

But the appearance of Cao Ji caught Zhuge Liang off guard.

In the battle of Xinye, Zhuge Liang predicted that Cao Ren and even Cao Cao would not be able to see through his own strategy, but Cao Ji saw through it, and even predicted it in advance.

Later, he fled to Fancheng and wanted to take Jiangling, but Cao Ji saw through his intention.

Obviously he and this Cao Ji have never met before, but the other party knows every strategy of his very well.

It gave him a feeling of being watched in the dark.

It was as if he was studying Cao Cao while Cao Ji was studying himself.

But Cao Cao basically listened to Cao Ji, which made Zhuge Liang fall directly into a passive situation.

This is tantamount to making Cao Cao invincible.

No matter how he calculates, it may be in Cao Ji's calculations.

Zhuge Liang asked: "Cao Ji, is it really the old Huang that the lord said?"

Liu Bei shook his head: "Yun Chang said that Liu Xian is Cao Ji, but I don't think Liu Xian is Cao Ji. He is at best a thug, and Cao Cao will never reuse him!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "A domestic slave, devoted himself to a generation of thieves and thieves, endured for decades, but when he arrived in Caoying, he soared to the sky and stood up to Guo Jia!"

"Unbelievable!" Liu Bei shook his head and smiled wryly, the more he thought about it, the more sick he felt.

A few days later, the battle report finally came back, and Cao Hong and Yu Jin were attacked by Guan Yu and Zhang Feiqi.

The two generals fled back to Jiangling City with their remnants.

As soon as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei entered the big tent, Liu Bei laughed loudly: "Yun Chang, Yide did a good job!"

"The two generals are really brave!" Zhuge Liang smiled and cupped his hands.

Repelling Cao Hong and Yu Jin also made him less worried.

Guan Yu cupped his hands: "Brother, these two generals will retreat back to Jiangling City. Cao Cao will definitely come with heavy troops, and leave Hanjinkou immediately!"

"Yun Chang's words are reasonable!" Liu Bei nodded, and immediately called Mi Zhu to inquire about the progress of the shipment.

Mi Zhu cupped his hands and signaled: "My lord, the ships have been dispatched in place. If we abandon part of the luggage, our army can leave Hanjinkou before sunset!"

Liu Bei didn't answer in a hurry, but turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang, who nodded slightly.

"Okay!" Liu Bei made up his mind: "Abandon part of the luggage, and the whole army must leave Hanjinkou before sunset!"

"Obey!" Mi Zhu cupped his fists and slowly exited the big tent.

Later, Liu Bei asked Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to lead his troops to assist.

After Liu Bei's mobilization, the whole army boarded the ship at sunset and went down the river.

Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Liu Qi were sitting on a boat drinking wine while the river breeze was blowing.

"If there is no help from the young master, I am afraid that I will have no place to commit myself today. I will toast this glass of wine to the young master!" Liu Bei raised his glass high, and his heart was full of gratitude to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi smiled wryly and shook his head: "Uncle Huang is too polite, I have no relatives after my father died, how happy it is to be able to sit down and have a drink with Uncle Huang now?"

"Hahaha!" Both of them laughed loudly.

Liu Qi asked again: "I don't know what the emperor's next plan is?"

Liu Bei sighed: "I discussed this matter with Kong Ming, and we are going to unite with Jiangdong to resist Cao Cao!"

"Jiangdong?" Liu Qi was puzzled: "Jiangdong has a feud with me in Jingzhou, so he may not join us at this time!"

"No, no!" Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan: "Jiangdong is the master of Shaoguo, and the enemy is also Cao Cao. Since the two families have the same enemy, why not unite? What's more, Sun Quan has killed Huang Zu Avenge my father!"

"Sir, what you said makes sense!" Liu Qi nodded, but he still had concerns.

Liu Bei smiled: "My lord, don't worry, I will take the lead in lobbying Jiangdong!"

Liu Qi immediately beamed with joy: "I'm sorry, Uncle, I really don't want to have too much contact with Jiang Dong!"

"Drink!" Liu Bei raised his glass.

"Please!" Liu Qi hurriedly toasted.

Hundreds of warships sailed on the river all night, and entered the waters of Jiangxia County at dawn.

A fast boat suddenly came against the current, Sun Qian quickly boarded the big boat, and went straight into the cabin to meet Liu Bei and Liu Qi.

"My lord, son, something is wrong!"

"What happened?" Liu Bei asked.

Liu Qi smiled: "Jiangxia is our own territory, what big things can happen?"

Sun Qiandao: "General Guan has led the vanguard fleet to approach Jiangxia City, but we see Zhang Yun's banner all over the city!"

"What?" Liu Qi stood up excitedly, not even half a smile on his face.

"Zhang Yun?" Liu Bei was puzzled: "Zhang Yun should be in Xiangyang, why did he appear in Jiangxia City?"

Sun Qian explained: "General Guan also felt puzzled, so I asked you to report to the lord and son!"

Liu Qi said: "Please ask Uncle Huang to change boats with me and approach Jiangxia City, I want to see for myself!"

Before Liu Bei could answer, Zhuge Liang spoke first: "Sure enough, sure enough, sure enough! I should have expected it a long time ago!"
