Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-Eight: Cao Cao Fell Into Trouble

After Gao Shun withdrew, Yuan Shu was very happy and regained Jiujiang County without a fight.

He and Sun Ce headed towards Jiangdong in two directions.

Gao Shun and Ling Cao defended directly along the Yangtze River this time, and Zhou Cang secretly mobilized some merchant ships, ready to attack at any time.

At this time, Zhang Yu was still on the grassland. After running wildly on the grassland for three days, he didn't encounter the Huns' ambush. Presumably, the Huns should have ambushed on his way back.

"Report, my lord, urgent information."

On the way, Zhang Yu heard the call from the scouts, and the whole army stopped slowly.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Yu asked intently.

The scout stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, the one next to me is a scout from Liaodong who has important information."

The scout next to him hurried forward and reported: "My lord, Yu Fuluo has surrounded Shenyang City and cut off the communication between Liaodong and the lord. We sent many scouts but couldn't contact the lord, so we had to take a detour to report to the lord. "

"Besides, while on the road, Yuan Shao launched a fierce attack on Liaoxi County." The scout said again.

"How many soldiers and horses did the Xiongnu have? Did they attack other places?" Zhang Yu asked again.

Yuan Shao attacked Zhang Yu when he was in danger, which surprised Zhang Yu. Yuan Shao didn't even want face.

This is suspected of collaborating with foreign enemies, which is a very serious crime in this era.

But Yuan Shao did.

However, Yuan Shao was so powerful that even if he did so, others would not dare to do anything to him.

Zhang Yu learned something again.

"This group of people attacked me together to destroy me. Unfortunately, you will be disappointed." Zhang Yu was really angry.

At this time, the scouts didn't know that the Jiangdong region had also launched an attack on them, but the scouts knew about the various rumors before, and they also reported it to Zhang Yu.

These rumors sound like someone deliberately fabricated them, so it goes without saying that they are useful.

Zhang Yu is good at using rumors,

I didn't expect someone to use this trick to deal with him this time.

"Speed ​​up the speed of going south."

Zhang Yu and the others continued on their way, it was useless to say anything now, they could only hurry back as soon as possible.

While Zhang Yu was on his way, Cao Cao, who had been doing nothing all this time, suddenly summoned his core members and held a secret meeting.

"Information shows that Zhang Yu is indeed deeply trapped in the grassland, and may still be facing a great crisis." Cao Cao said to a group of men.

Everyone was lost in thought. If this is true and something happened to Zhang Yu, then they must take action.

"My lord, we can plan according to the worst outcome. Zhang Yu is deeply trapped in the grassland, which is very dangerous. We should prepare early." Xun You came out and said.

Cheng Yu also nodded, and then stood up and said: "Zhang Yu has no heirs, if something really happens, there will be chaos, and all parties will rush forward, and they will be divided up."

The two important counselors agreed that Cao Cao had made plans early. Cao Cao was far away from Jiangdong and Liaodong, and he shouldn't have had a big reaction. Zhang Yu's rise and fall did not have much conflict with him.

Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "We will operate as if Zhang Yu is alive. Zhang Yu will definitely be our enemy in the future. Why don't we take this opportunity to hit him hard."

I haven't received any news about Zhang Yu so far, but Zhang Yu went out with an army of more than 100,000, and there is a high possibility of surviving.

Everyone understood that this time Cao Cao was also going to make things worse and step on Zhang Yu.

Cao Cao and Zhang Yu didn't actually cooperate much, and both sides had their own problems.

Cao Cao came to them, that is, if Zhang Yu is still alive and strong, how can the harm be minimized.

"My lord, we shouldn't directly conflict with Zhang Yu, but we can't just do nothing. The best way is to negotiate with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others to get some benefits." Xun You said again.

Several people began to discuss again. After discussing for a long time, they gathered various suggestions. Cheng Yu said: "My lord, let's make an imperial decree to condolence Zhang Yu, so that everyone in the world will think he is dead. We can't stop the attacks from several parties, so we will take this opportunity to find some other princes to blackmail us for benefits."

"Haha, that's right. Even if Zhang Yu is still alive, he will have nothing to say at that time. We offer him condolences. This is a great honor." Cao Cao laughed.

Several other people also laughed, and they praised Zhang Yu openly, but they were slashing Zhang Yu secretly.

At this time, Man Pang said: "My lord, there is a problem. Generally, when the emperor expresses condolence to his ministers, he will be promoted to an official or title. If Zhang Yu does not die by then, it will be difficult to handle."

"It doesn't matter, even if Zhang Yu is alive, he will definitely suffer heavy losses at that time. These losses are definitely more important than him getting an official position that does not have much practical effect." Cao Cao said.

Several people began to discuss what kind of official position to give Zhang Yu.

"My lord, it's better to add a general of the guard. This general of the guard has reached the level of the third prince. Above him, only the general is higher than him. The general of the chariot and the general of the hussar are both at the same level as him." An aide said.

No one objected to this proposal because Zhang Yu was originally a second-rank general. Although he is now a second-rank general, he is at the same rank as Sangong, and it is in line with the practice to raise him to one rank.

Today's general, Yuan Shao's self-appointed general, has the highest rank, while Yuan Shu is a chariot general, and Zhang Yu's general Wei is also at the same rank as Yuan Shu, and the others are not high.

Some of the other people have a high status as the state herdsman, and the others are only one Cao Cao who was named prime minister.

Any position should have some strength, Zhang Yu has this strength, there is nothing wrong with giving him the status of General Wei.

Besides, Cao Cao's purpose was to pit Zhang Yu, and it didn't have much practical effect if he gave it.

If Zhang Yu is not given, it will not affect Zhang Yu much. If Zhang Yu is given, Zhang Yu will still live like that, and he will not be able to improve his strength too much, or even have little impact.

Cao Cao decided to let Chen Lin write the imperial decree immediately, and at the same time let people contact Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and others immediately, to get the benefits first.

Selling Zhang Yu can bring him a lot of benefits, of course Cao Cao knows how to do it.

Even if Zhang Yu is alive, if he wants to trouble him, then what can he do, the distance between the two people is far away.

Cao Cao couldn't do anything to Zhang Yu directly, and of course Zhang Yu couldn't do anything to Cao Cao directly.

In this way, Cao Cao decided to contact Yuan Shao first, and Yuan Shao agreed immediately after receiving the news.

However, when Yuan Shao agreed, he was upset. He didn't try to fight for the emperor, but he didn't expect the emperor to be so powerful.

Depressed and depressed, Yuan Shao immediately decided to increase his troops in the direction of Youzhou, adding another 100,000 troops.

In this way, Liaodong is even more dangerous. With the threat of 400,000 Huns and Yuan Shao's army, it is indeed very dangerous to attack from both sides.

If Zhang Yu hadn't made some arrangements in advance, it would have been unstoppable, but Zhang Yu didn't expect Yuan Shao to attack suddenly. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
