The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao's face froze all of a sudden, the more he looked down on Yuan Shu, the more pain he felt at the moment.

One step wrong, step by step wrong.

Runan's war potential is far greater than he imagined.

"You, Cao Mengde, looked down on the people of the world once you gained power. It's amazing." Yuan Shu said sarcastically.

Cao Cao did not refute.

"If I'm not wrong, you've already thought about what will happen after your defeat. Set up troops in Luoyang, develop westward, conquer Xiliang, and even take back the Western Regions." Liu Ke laughed.

Cao Cao was not upset when his mind was punctured, and even pretended to deny it.After all, it is not good for the morale of the army to think about the things after the failure before the failure.

"Marquis Dongyang, I, Cao Mengde, are just a small person. You should be careful with Yuan Benchu. Now, in the land of Hebei, no one can compete with him."

In order to divert Liu Ke's attention, Cao Cao hacked himself.

Under the current situation, whoever Liu Ke targets is unlucky.

Yuan Shu heard what they meant, that is, Yuan Shao seized Hebei, and Cao Cao left Xiliang.The fate of several states was thus sealed.

Yuan Shu didn't dare to think about Yanzhou before, but now he seems to have a chance.As long as Cao Cao's 20 army is defeated, Cao Cao will focus his development on the west.

Cao Cao offered Liu Ke a glass of wine and said, "There are no princes in the world, but three of them can be called heroes."

The implication is that it refers to Liu Ke, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao.

Yuan Shu refused to accept it, and said, "Where is Liu Yan in Yizhou?"

Liu Yan was really ambitious when he persuaded Emperor Ling to set up a state shepherd, but after becoming Yizhou shepherd, his performance was mediocre.

"Liu Yan, you're just an opportunist. The population of Yizhou is withered, less than one million. It is already the limit to have 10,000+ troops. Even Hanzhong can't be dealt with, let alone develop into the southern barbarian land." Cao Cao said.

Yuan Shu deeply believed it, but still said stubbornly: "Yizhou is the land of abundance, the land of Longxing, the ancestor of Han Gaozu."

"Does Liu Yan have Han Xin?" Cao Cao asked rhetorically. If Liu Yan came out of Yizhou without knowing his life, Cao Cao was confident that he would beat him all over the place.

"Where is Sun Ce, the little overlord?" Yuan Shu mentioned another character. Although Sun Ce cheated him, it cannot be denied that Sun Ce is indeed a hero.

"Sun Bofu is aggressive, but his life is not good. Both sides of the southeast are the territories of the Marquis of Dongyang, and they are suppressed to death. If he has the ambition to win Yizhou and Yuzhou, he still has the power to compete. Of course, the premise is that Dongyang Hou stood by and watched." Cao Cao said.

No matter how stupid Liu Ke is, he will not allow a big prince to rise up, he will definitely obstruct it secretly, and even send troops directly.

Therefore, the princes are all looking for opportunities to develop, and Liu is their common enemy.It should come as no surprise that they will join forces.

When talking about bad luck, Yuan Shu thought of himself.Well, the whole of Runan is close to Yangzhou, so it is even more impossible to develop.

Cao Cao can't be beaten, and Sun Ce can't be offended, only Yuzhou can think about it.

"No, isn't there another Liu Yu in Youzhou?" Yuan Shu suddenly remembered.

"Liu Yu is too benevolent and even pedantic. Even Gongsun Zan can't be dealt with, and you still expect him to achieve great things?" Cao Cao said, as a prince, one cannot be soft-hearted.

Liu Ke is famous all over the world not only because of his benevolence, but more importantly because of his outstanding military exploits.

All the great princes in the world today have been commented by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao didn't even mention some useless little princes.Among them, Zhang Yan in Bingzhou, Ma Teng in Xiliang, Kong Ni in Yuzhou, etc.If you can't even win the state, what qualifications do you have to fight for world hegemony.

Yuan Shu suddenly realized that he seemed to be as useless as them. This feeling was uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Marquis Dongyang, what do you think?" Cao Cao asked suddenly. After all, the above are all his ideas. If Liu Ke can agree with him, it would be wonderful.

"In my eyes, you are all the same. You will do anything for power." Liu Ke said.

"Could it be that the Marquis of Dongyang thinks he is a saint?" Cao Cao said. Now, his own power and the emperor's imperial decree have not suppressed Liu Ke's arrogance, and Cao Cao has given up.

Only by winning the battle can the pride of Dongyang Hou be destroyed.

"No, I'm just protecting myself. If you develop quietly, I won't bother to pay attention to you." Liu Ke said.

The credibility of this sentence is still very high. Except for Jiaozhou, Liu Ke has not taken the initiative to invade others.And to enter Jiaozhou, the imperial decree was also requested.

"The general situation in the world is like this, who can be quiet?" Cao Cao asked back.

"I can!" Liu Ke said with a smile, "Now that Yangzhou has gathered half of the world's wealth, in a few years, all of you together will not be my opponent."

Cao Cao suddenly burst out laughing, this time the alliance did kill Dongyanghou by surprise.

However, the following days are not easy.Not to mention the future, it is very sad now.

Today, Runan has gathered 35 troops, including 20 Cao Cao's army, [-] Yangzhou army, and [-] Yuan Shu army.This is a life-and-death battle for the victor to survive.

This battle will determine the general trend of the world.

Chapter 290

Don't talk too much and don't speculate much, the battle that should be fought still has to be fought.

After returning to the camp, Liu Ke told Yuan Shu to "be careful and wait for the right time."

The main reason is that Liu Ke just arrived and didn't figure out the situation clearly, so it takes time to find flaws.

So for the past three days, everyone has lived in peace.

However, Cao Cao's offensive began soon, and the first to launch was the attack of public opinion.He spread the remarks on the high platform, criticizing Dongyang Hou for not obeying the imperial edict.

However, except for some scholars who moaned painlessly, none of the princes stood up to agree with Cao Cao.
