OBS Chapter [168] Jujube Alliance
Chapter [168] Jujube Alliance
Jujube.
A high platform stands in the wilderness, Cao Cao, as the host, is already waiting on the high platform at this moment.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu, one on the left and one on the right, guarded behind Cao Cao, followed by Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Zhong Yao and other Cao Ying counselors, but all important counselors were present.
After all, after meeting the alliance for a while, it is necessary to discuss an advance plan, which naturally requires these counselors to brainstorm.
"My lord, will the number of soldiers we brought be a little small?" Xun Yu said with a little worry.
This time when Cao Cao came to Suanzao, he only brought 5,000 people to the alliance, and Xun Yu was worried that something would go wrong.
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "You can't bring too many. If I pull out all the troops, will Yuan Shao and the others dare to come?"
"The jujube is on our territory, and we should show sincerity appropriately."
"What's more, 5,000 people are elite, even if there is danger, 5,000 people can delay for a while, enough for us to leave calmly.
After listening to Cao Cao's explanation, Xun Yu nodded. Cao Cao's words were very reasonable, so Xun Yu no longer worried.
"Report!"
"Report to Duke Cao, Yuan Shao's army began to cross the river."
"How many people are here?" Xun Yu asked directly.
"About 30,000 or so." The orderly replied.
"Huh? It's not too much." Xun Yu was a little surprised.
"Hehe, based on what I know about Yuan Benchu, he must have dispatched a detailed mission to look at it in advance." Cao Cao said with a smile, "I know we don't have many troops [Yuan Shao naturally won't mobilize troops]

"If we have 20,000 people here, I'm afraid Yuan Shao will bring 50,000 people with him when he crosses the river."
The 30,000 troops crossing the river, even if there is no delay, it will take a long time.
Before Yuan Shao arrived, two groups of troops appeared from the south, and it was Liu Bei and Sun Ce who came.
The troops of the Sun and Liu families were not many, 10,000 each.
Compared with Yuan Cao's mutual wariness, the Sun and Liu families are relatively weak, less threatening to Yuan Cao, and relatively safer.
If Cao Cao and Yuan Shao restrain each other, Sun and Liu will be safe.
"Let's go, let's go and greet him." Cao Cao stepped down from the high platform, just as Liu Bei and others came to meet him.
"Xuande, long time no see." Cao Cao greeted warmly.
"I've met Mr. Cao." Liu Bei was also very polite.
"This is Bofu, a young hero. It reminds me of Brother Wentai." Cao Cao greeted Sun Ce again.
"I have met Mr. Cao." Sun Ce clasped his fists and saluted.
There is no grievance between Sun Ce and Cao Cao, but between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, there is a grievance in Xuzhou.
"Huh! Smiling tiger." Zhang Fei's voice was neither high nor low, but just enough for everyone to hear.
When Dian Wei and Xu Chu heard the words, they were about to step forward, but Cao Cao stretched out his hand to stop them.
"Presumably Yide hated me because of the incident in Xuzhou?" Cao Cao explained with a smile: "At the beginning, I also acted in accordance with the edict of the emperor. I never thought that it was Lu Bu who made troubles, which made our two families meet. Tose Lu Bu."
Cao Cao directly blamed Lu Bu, and Liu Bei also lost his temper, saying: "Yide is not allowed to be rude."
"Mr. Cao, the past is over." Liu Bei turned to Liu Bei and said.
Yes, it has passed. "Cao Cao pulled Sun Ce enthusiastically, intending to return to the high platform.
But before the three of them went up, they saw darkness coming from the north.
"Come on, it seems that Brother Benchu has also arrived, why don't we greet Brother Benchu later," Cao Cao suggested.
Neither Liu Bei nor Sun Ce had any objections, and the three of them stood in the audience and waited.
Not long after, Yuan Shao came surrounded by a group of people.
"Brother Benchu, please stay safe." Cao Cao greeted from afar.
"Meng De, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Yuan Shao got off his horse and walked in, "Oh, Xuande and Sun Lang are also here, and it happens that everyone is here, let's go up and talk about it."
At this time, Yuan Shao had 30,000 people in the field, and although Cao Cao had only 5,000, he had the advantage of being the host.
The four princes just formed a check and balance situation in terms of military strength.
Yuan Shao has the most troops, but if he wants to fight, the three families of Cao, Liu and Sun must form a group. This is 25,000 people, and Cao Cao is the host, and he can shake people at any time.
On the contrary, the three families of Cao, Sun and Liu are not as powerful as Yuan Shao, so they certainly dare not act rashly.
A group of people came to the high platform of the League and sat down in four directions.
Cao Cao has the most people here, whether they are civil servants or military generals, they are all talented people.
Yuan Shao was a little biased. The number of advisers was not inferior to Cao Cao's, but the number of generals was very small, so he could only rely on his own soldiers to support the situation and ensure Yuan Shao's personal safety.
The last time Yuan Shao fought Lu Bu, all the generals around him were killed by Lu Bu.
Liu Bei's side is also biased, Guan Zhang and Zhao are three generals, but the advisers are only Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others.
Sun Ce's side is quite harmonious, the military general Sun Ce himself is the leader, and there are Zhou Tai, Tai Shici and others.
Zhou Yu Yunwen Yunwu, a military adviser, counselor, and commander-in-chief can be capable [Leading Zhang Zhao, Zhuge Jinbi counselor.
The four princes sat down, and Cao Cao said: ~I think there were eighteen princes in the Suanzao League at the time, but now there are only four left. The old people are dying one after another, and many faces may never be seen again. "
Cao Cao said it quite sentimentally, but it was actually the tears of the crocodile. Both he and Yuan Shao had the blood of other princes on their hands. Otherwise, where did their land come from?
"Okay, let's get to the point." Yuan Shao said.
"Brother Benchu, forgive me for being emotional for a while." Cao Cao chuckled, "Then let's get to the point and discuss this time..."
"Report!!!"
"Quick report from Guanzhong! Lu Bu will be crowned king in fifteen days and a coronation ceremony will be held."
When everyone heard the words, the whole hall was in an uproar!
"The thief should die! He should be killed!" Liu Bei immediately broke his defenses and yelled at Lu Bu, denouncing Lu Bu as a national thief.
"Gaozu once made an alliance of white horses, not the Liu family but the king, and the world will fight against it!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Lu did not arrogate to be king (of Li Ma), but it was beneficial for us to send troops, and this time the troops were more justified.
"The name of the Qing emperor's side can no longer be used, and it is more appropriate to directly change it to kill the country's thieves." Zhou Yu interrupted the Taoist forum.
"That makes sense." Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Today's Lu Bu is even worse than Dong Zhuo in the past."
"Dong Bandit is just controlling Chaogang, Lu Bandit is trying to overthrow the imperial court, the plan is huge!"
Lu Bu became king, which undoubtedly strengthened the four people's determination to send troops, and at the same time provided them with a better reason to send troops.
But even if Lu Bu does not become king, they will still send troops.
That's why Jia Xu suggested that Lu Bu take this opportunity to go one step further, and Lu Bu made a quick decision and went two steps further.
"Gentlemen, Lu Bu presumptuously becomes king. We wait for the princes to eliminate thieves for the country. There is nothing to say. You must do your best to get rid of Lu Bu and help the world." Cao Cao paused and continued: "Then next, Let's discuss a plan to dispatch troops."
