Chen Yang waited in Xudu for several days, and finally waited until Cao Ang came back.

Nowadays, Cao Ang looks more and more like a lord. Whether it is his way of doing things or his own temperament, he is completely different from before.

The day after he came back, he called Chen Yang, Guo Jia and others to Cao's mansion to discuss.

"This is Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi, and he is also from Yingchuan. He was originally Liu Bei's military advisor, and finally surrendered to us."

Cao Ang briefly introduced him, and then asked directly: "Wancheng and Fancheng have been pacified. Now that Liu Biao has passed away, Jingzhou is inherited by Liu Cong. I plan to use troops to Jingzhou first, but before that, I have to solve the problem of Xinye Liu Bei. I wonder what suggestions do you have?"

Only seeing the people present remain silent for a moment, Guo Jia said first: "Ruo Bei relies on Jingzhou now. Although Liu Cong is the new governor of Jingzhou, the power is actually in the hands of Cai Mao. Cai Mao does not like Liu Bei. If Xinye cannot defend it, he can only rely on Liu Qi who has already gone to Jiangxia."

"To obtain Jingzhou and deal with Liu Bei, you have to start with Liu Cong, Cai Mao and others and completely separate them. Then try every means to cut off the connection between Liu Bei and Liu Qi, or make Jiangxia's Liu Qi have nothing, then Liu Bei will be defeated and vulnerable."

Guo Jia said, then turned his eyes to Chen Yang and said, "In addition to Jingzhou and Liu Bei, we have another problem at present, which is the Sun family in Jiangdong. It is said that if Zi'an killed Sun Ce, they would not come to take revenge, but the Sun family's side is actually easy to deal with. If they are allowed to unite, the trouble will be even greater."

"If Liu Bei, Liu Cong and Sun Quan join forces, it will be very unfavorable for us."

Xu Shu agreed: "There are many water systems in Jingxiang, and most of the soldiers in Jiangdong and Jingxiang will fight in water. The number of our sailors is still insufficient, and it is impossible to get benefits to go south on a large scale, so it is difficult to break through their alliance."

Then, everyone's eyes also fell on Chen Yang.

There have been many sayings about why Chen Yang "killed" Sun Ce, among which the most widely circulated statement is that Chen Yang and Sun Ce had a conflict in order to compete for Qiao Wan, and finally turned against each other and made a desperate attempt to kill.

Chen Yang had also heard of these rumors, and he felt the look of everyone looking at them, so he was embarrassed.

"Why are you looking at me? I didn't kill Sun Ce!" He spread his hands innocently.

Immediately afterwards, everyone laughed at the same time, giving today some serious discussions to ease the atmosphere.

"Of course I don't believe it was you who killed it, but the murderer behind it is to attract hatred for you. If Liu Bei and Sun Ce join forces in Jingzhou, they will curb our progress in equalizing the south."

Cao Ang's smile slightly restrained and said, "You don't have a solution?"

"Sun Quan will not cooperate with Jingzhou for the time being. Sun Quan's revenge for killing his father has not been avenged, nor has he sufficient strength. He will not pay attention to me in a short period of time, but I believe they are already negotiating and there is no result yet. Sun Quan's next plan should be Jiang Xia, and at least he will discuss cooperation after they take down Jiang Xia."

Chen Yang guessed Lu Su's ideas almost the same, and said, "In addition, I can also take down Jingzhou without bloodshed, and make Sun Quan's wish to attack Jiangxia fail."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at Chen Yang in surprise. It was too impossible to take Jingzhou without bloodshed, right?

"Zi'an, what are your tricks?" Xun Yu asked hurriedly.

"Persist in surrender!"

Chen Yang said: "Now the governor of Jingzhou is nominally Liu Cong, but the ones who are in power are Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others. As long as they are willing to surrender, Jingzhou will be ours."

Xu Shu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Cai Mao finally got Jingzhou, how could he surrender?"

"Think about it, can Yuan Benchu, who owns four northern prefectures and three ministers, resist our army?" Chen Yang said.

"Of course not!" Xu Shu said.

After the battle of Guandu for so long, he didn't even have to fight in Guandu. Yuan Shao could not even break through the defense line of Yanjin White Horse and could only hide in Liyang.

Chen Yang said again: "Since even Yuan Benchu ​​can't, what about Jingzhou?"

Xu Shu thought about it, but finally shook his head.

Now some of the troops stationed in the north have retreated. Cao Ang even began to instruct Xiahou Yuan to continue recruiting troops in the north, and gained a lot of Yuan Shao's old subordinates.

The problem of insufficient troops has been alleviated.

The Cao family's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and it is no longer as it did before the Battle of Guandu. It has nothing to do.

Although there are many water systems in Jingxiang, it is impossible to keep fighting on the water. When the army is approaching, Cai Mao has to surrender.

"This time I will go to Jingzhou to persuade Cai Mao to surrender. If I can do it without bloodshed, as long as I give Cai Mao enough promise, he will definitely surrender." Chen Yang said solemnly.

"Zi'an is so confident. I can leave Jingzhou to you. As for Liu Bei..." Cao Ang asked again, "What should he do?"

"How can Xinye's small land stop our army?" Xun Yu was very disdainful of Liu Bei.

"This is not necessarily my fault."

When Xu Shu mentioned Liu Bei, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Before returning to Xudu, their confrontation with Liu Bei had no benefit, which proved that Liu Bei had a new military advisor around him to help.

"Before I left Liu Bei to join my lord, I recommended one person to Liu Bei. This person was named Zhuge Liang and his courtesy name was Kongming. Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui once said that if the two of them had one, they could be the same as the world, Kong Ming would be the lying dragon and the dragon!"

Xu Shu continued: "This person is not weak, he has many strategies, and with his help, it will be difficult for Liu Bei to deal with it."

Cao Ang also deeply understands how difficult it is to deal with it. The war he has been practicing recently is getting more and more difficult.

"Mr. Shuijing really said that?" Xun Yu said in surprise.

Mr. Shui Jing Sima Hui is very famous, and there are no famous scholars who don’t know, especially those famous scholars like Xun Yu.

"How about the lie-in-Long Dragon and Phoenix Chicken?" Guo Jia asked, and he had never heard of these two people.

But if you can get Sima Hui's recommendation, your strength should be quite good.

Before Xu Shu could speak, Chen Yang said first: "No need to compare, because Zhuge Kongming is far inferior to me. In fact, Zhuge Liang is not difficult to deal with. As long as you attack Xinye, you can follow my arrangements and make him doubt his life."

When Cao Ang saw Chen Yang's confident look, he certainly believed that his good buddy had a solution, and said, "As for Sun Quan, don't you need to pay attention to this time?"

"No, but one thing needs to be noted. When we deal with Liu Bei and Jingzhou, Sun Ce will definitely attack Jiangxia and kill Huang Zu to avenge his father."

Chen Yang said: "They will definitely cooperate with Liu Bei and join forces to fight us. Their cooperation cannot be stopped. When Jiangxia cannot fall into the hands of Sun Quan, it is an important granary in Jingzhou. If Jiangxia is obtained, no matter how dry the particles are, we are not worried about food shortage. Sun Quan and Liu Bei think so."

After learning that Sun Ce was dead, Chen Yang was basically sure that the Battle of Red Cliff could start.

He has experienced the three major wars during the Three Kingdoms period and the Battle of Guandu, and the next ones are Chibi and Yiling.

What he is about to face is the Battle of Chibi. This time he has to change the defeat of Cao, which makes Liu Bei also doubt his life.

"etc……"

Guo Jia seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said, "Zi'an, do you think that the person who benefits the most after killing Sun Ce is Liu Bei?"

Before this, Chen Yang had not thought of this relationship. After Guo Jia's reminder, he immediately thought it was not impossible.

Because Sun Ce died, he would blame Chen Yang by the way, so Sun would definitely not let Chen Yang go, that is, Cao Ang would not let Cao Ang go.

Liu Bei and Cao and Chen Yang had a grudge, and Sun and Chen Yang had a grudge.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend. As long as Liu Bei proposes to fight against Cao at this time, the Sun family will have a high chance of agreeing.

"Liu Bei..."
