Chapter eight hundred and eighty first alliance
Just when Cao Cao and the others were very angry.
Liu Bei and Sun Ce have gathered together and are discussing something privately.
The two of them did join forces to cut off Cao Cao's military rations and leave Cao Cao homeless.
They did this without a doubt exactly the same as Cao Cao thought, which was to let Cao Cao drive the 20,000 army to the front line as soon as possible and then fight Lu Bu to the death.
If Cao Cao's 20,000 troops were not solved, neither Liu Bei nor Sun Ce would be at ease.
As the saying goes, how can you let others sleep soundly when you lie on the side of the bed?
Just like one mountain, there is no tolerance for two tigers. Cao Cao is not only a fierce tiger, but also a 20,000-strong tiger and wolf army. If these people are not solved as soon as possible, they will definitely become their biggest concern.
So when Sun Ce sent an envoy to discuss with Liu Bei that day, Liu Bei only discussed with Ouyang Fu and immediately agreed.
In fact, this is also a way to do it.
After all, even if Liu Bei had occupied a very wealthy place in Jingzhou, he could not provide so many military rations to support the 20,000 army.
What's more, not only Cao Cao's 20,000 army, but also he needs an army to support him.
This consumption is simply an astronomical figure. If it is not resolved as soon as possible, they will definitely have some unnecessary trouble because of this matter.
Of course, it goes without saying that, because some soldiers complained two days ago. After all, they took out part of their military rations for Cao Cao to use.
This means that the brothers of their family have not had enough food yet, but they have to feed other outsiders first. This practice naturally makes their family have complaints.
So Liu Bei agreed to Sun Ce that day and it was a helpless move. If he didn't agree, he would not be able to provide much military ration to continue to support Cao Cao.
After all, Cao Cao had provided support to these 20,000 troops before, but two prefectures and counties in Yanzhou and Xuzhou came to support them together.
But Liu Bei only has one Jingzhou. Even if Sun Ce from Jiangdong helps to share some, there is no reason to share how much.
So now they can only use this method of driving tigers and swallowing wolves, so that everyone knows that Cao Cao is going to fight Lu Bu to the death, so that they can reap the benefits of the fisherman.
This method can be said to kill three birds with one stone. It not only solves the problem of military rations in the army, but also removes Cao Cao's serious trouble. More importantly, if Cao Cao and Lu Bu go to war, they can get a certain profit from it.
They could even take advantage of the two of them being in a difficult situation to get a fight and suddenly attack their rear. In this way, neither Cao Cao nor Lu Bu would be defeated and out of control.
Even if someone feels very angry, there is no way to crack this kind of strategy, because this is to use your open and upright identity to oppress you.
Even if you want to resist, you can't resist, because if you don't fight for this thing, you will definitely die, and they will definitely resist for your own life.
So today's meeting between Sun Ce and Liu Bei was to discuss what to do with the following steps. They had to prepare for what happened after Cao Cao and Lu Bu went to war later.
Because they were not afraid, Cao Cao would not fight, because now Cao Cao only had some military rations, which was not enough for the 20,000 troops to use, not to mention that they had only this path to go.
Liu Bei and Sun Ce were not afraid of Cao Cao's sudden counterattack because they wanted Cao Cao to do this. They had already set up many ambush near Jiangdong, Jingzhou. If Cao Cao really dared to do this, they would never let Cao Cao go.
They could even take advantage of this opportunity to swallow Cao Cao and his 20,000 troops into their stomachs, and then become the largest prince in the world.
This is why Liu Bei and Sun Ce were so confident and even boldly forced Cao Cao. They saw this, so they were so confident and furious that Cao Cao was so angry.
Today's meeting was for discussion about what happened after Cao Cao sent troops. The two of them were ready. As long as Cao Cao sent troops, they would supervise Cao Cao's support at the same time. As long as Cao Cao dared to retreat, they would never forgive Cao Cao.
As long as they can win a certain victory on the front line, they will definitely make greater profits. After all, the current situation on the front line is very unstable.
If Lu Bu continues to recuperate like this, the entire north will completely become Lu Bu's private territory.
If we really waited for that time, I'm afraid Liu Bei, Sun Ce and others would have to retreat, because Lu Bu now has an unstoppable smell, and then Lu Bu, who is united in the whole country, will definitely be the best candidate to become the overlord of the world.
By that time, they had no way to stop Cao Cao's attack and could not stop their alliance.
So now is the best opportunity and the only opportunity. If you don’t take advantage of the current career, then the only thing waiting for them is death.
Liu Bei, Sun Ce, Ouyang Fu, Zhou Yu and others were all sitting together. Today they want to discuss how to do it.
As soon as several people sat together, they saw Ouyang Fu bowing his fists and saying to Zhou Yu: "You are worthy of being the number one talent in Jiangdong. This kind of strategy of driving tigers and swallowing wolves is really clever. I admire you very much."
It turned out that Zhou Yu, the person who cut off Cao Cao's military rations and prevented Cao Cao from retreating, finally came up with this plan, so Sun Ce and Liu Bei joined forces to harm Cao Cao together.
Finally seeing Ouyang Fu's appearance, he nodded slightly, and then said with a smile: "I dare not be the number one in Jiangdong. I am just a literati, not a powerful figure. The Taoist priest helped Liu Huangshu gain the actual control of Jingzhou."
Zhou Yu's words clearly have no problem saying, but his actual meaning is to mock Liu Bei. Jingzhou's origin is unknown to steal Liu Biao.
Hearing this sentence, Liu Bei's face was silent and he didn't seem to show any signs. Instead, Deputy Ouyang bowed his hand and said, "My lord is just helping the young master Liu Qi to assist in Jingzhou. The actual master of Jingzhou is still the young master Liu Qi."
