The Han Dynasty was weak in name only, but Yizhou and Xudu still had Han Dynasty courts. Lu Bu publicly criticized the Yizhou court, which always made people feel uncomfortable.

Liu Bei nodded. Now Lu Bu's influence among the princes is too great. For example, Jiangdong's ability to get out of the crisis this time is closely related to Lu Bu's help. He might stand on Lu Bu's side. Besides, Sun Ce

When he and Lu Bu became king, they were discussed in advance. The relationship between Jiangdong and Chang'an can be said to be unprecedentedly close.

The next day, in the court hall, Liu Bei went to court and stated Lu Bu's charges.

Liu Qi said: "Everyone can punish these rebellious ministers and traitors, pass on my decree, inform the princes of the world about Lu Bu's rebellion, and order the princes to attack Chang'an."

Liu Bei said: "Now that the armies of all parties are recuperating, we may not be able to persuade them to send troops to attack Chang'an in a short time."

"I want everyone in the world to see Lu Bu's face." At this point, Liu Qi showed a cold smile.

This smile made Liu Bei shiver in his heart for no reason. At this time, Liu Qi was terrifying in his eyes, especially the smile on his face, which was too weird.

"Here." Liu Bei immediately said, cupping his fists.

After the news in the Dajin newspaper spread in Yizhou, it often caused turmoil. In this confrontation between Yizhou and Chang'an, Yizhou occupied Bajun, while Chang'an showed no weakness in public opinion.

.

Yizhou and Xu have been arguing about who is orthodox. After learning that Lu Bu refuted the Yizhou court, one can imagine what Cao Cao will do.

The Dahan newspaper represented by the Yizhou imperial court had not yet reached other people, but Cao Cao and Sun Quan got the news.

Xu Du, Cao Cao burst into laughter after reading the contents of the Jin newspaper. Although Chang'an's army stationed troops at Wuguan, they did not take any specific actions and did not really break up with him.

At this time, Lu Bu cannot be provoked. Cao Cao still has a clear understanding. The main reason is that the strength shown by Lu Bu is too powerful. If provoked, he will face extremely serious consequences. Such consequences are not what Cao Cao wants to see.

Arrived.

Liu Bei successfully captured Ba County, which aroused Lu Bu's anger, and caused Lu Bu to directly refuse to recognize the imperial court in Yizhou. Cao Cao naturally wanted to see this situation. Yizhou has a imperial court, and Xudu also has a imperial court.

In the past, although Lu Bu did not acknowledge the two courts, he did not openly refute it. Now, in the Dajin newspaper, Lu Bu said that Yizhou's court was inferior to pigs and dogs, so the orthodox one would naturally be Xu Du's court.

When Cao Jun was preparing to attack Jingzhou, although he had some dissatisfaction with Chang'an, the two sides did not go to war and were still allies. Lu Bu's army stationed at Wuguan only served as a deterrent to Jingzhou.

Cao Cao immediately went to the Supreme Lord Liu Cong, saying that the Yizhou court was a rebellious people, and everyone should punish them, and recognized Lu Bu as the Jin King and the general.

Cao Cao understood that only by letting Lu Bu hate Liu Bei would he not think about the incident in Jingzhou for the time being. If Lu Bu and Sun Quan jointly attacked Jingzhou after Jiangdong was stabilized, it would be a huge disaster for him.

If Lu Bu attacks Yizhou, it will reduce his pressure. Yizhou is dangerous, and Liu Bei has many elite soldiers under his command. They will definitely be able to stop Lu Bu's army. In this way, Cao Cao will be free to attack Jingzhou. As long as he will

Those who capture Jingzhou and completely drive Jiangdong Army out of Jingzhou will have a greater chance of winning when facing Lu Bu in the future. Of course, Zang Ba of Xuzhou is also among Cao Cao's takeovers.

"My lord, Zang Ba of Xuzhou is now very powerful. He occupies Langye and the East China Sea. He has thousands of soldiers and horses. My lord, you might as well go to your Majesty and order him to issue an edict to summon Zang Ba to Xudu. In this case, Zang Ba's subordinates will

A large army is nothing to worry about," Xun You said.

Zang Ba has always been a thorn in Xuzhou's side, influencing Cao Cao's rule in Xuzhou. Although such figures have taken refuge in Xuzhou, it still feels inappropriate, especially now that Zang Ba is close to Qingzhou, which is Lu Bu's territory. Once

After Zang Ba defected to Lu Bu, it would be a big disaster for Xuzhou. No monarch would want such a thing to happen.

Although Xuzhou has experienced a lot of wars, it still has a very important position in Cao Cao's heart. As long as Xuzhou can be stabilized, it can provide more food and grass for the army. If Xuzhou is in turmoil, it will involve more wars for the army.

energy.

"I'm afraid Zang Ba wouldn't have agreed so simply. If I had known earlier, I should have listened to Gongda's words and got rid of this person directly when he was in Xuzhou." Cao Cao said.

Cheng Yu said: "My lord, why don't you send assassins and others to assassinate Zang Ba? If Zang Ba dies, there will be no leader, and there will be chaos. At that time, all Zang Ba's subordinates can be owned by your lord with just one order."

Cao Cao was silent for a moment and said: "If Zang Ba disobeys the imperial court's order and then does this again, it will not be too late."

"My lord, after Chang'an recovers from this year's battle, it will definitely attack Yizhou. Not only because of Liu Bei's provocation this year, but also because of Yizhou's land of abundance, which is the foundation for becoming a king. If Lu Bu gets

If so, the strength will definitely be improved even more." Xun You said worriedly. Over the years, Lu Bu's pace of expansion has never stopped, while Cao Cao seems to be standing still. He has experienced a lot of wars, but the speed of expansion has slowed down a bit.

Mainly because it is much slower than Lu Bu in Chang'an.

Although most of the land under Lu Bu's rule is barren, the power produced by these land-governing forces cannot be ignored, especially Bingzhou, which is the foundation of Lu Bu. In the beginning, Lu Bu relied on Bingzhou

The army defeated the coalition of princes. In the eyes of outsiders, Bingzhou was barren, but in Lu Bu's hands, it was full of vitality. The powerful foundation it displayed was enough to make everyone pay attention.

Cao Cao nodded solemnly, and among the people in the world today, the only one worthy of treating him as an opponent was Lu Bu, and sooner or later there would be a battle between the two, and that battle would affect the stability of the entire world.

What gives Cao Cao a headache is the relationship between Jiangdong and Lu Bu. Jiangdong's strength is much stronger than that of Liu Bei in Yizhou. Although Liu Bei currently has 100,000 armored men, they are much less elite than Jiangdong's army.

The Yizhou Army has not experienced many battles, but the Jiangdong Army, under the leadership of Sun Ce, has experienced many battles and has become an elite on the battlefield. If the two fight, the consequences can be imagined.

"When the King of Jin attacks Yizhou, it will be an opportunity for our army to seize Jingzhou in one fell swoop." Xun Yu said slowly.
