The Tibetan Pavilion News just now listed the possible reasons and targets of Liu Bei who might become the murderer who attacked Gongsun Xu. The target is naturally Cao Cao.

This is something that Cao Cao never dared not believe. He was a suspicious person. Even if it was him, the more he looked at it, the more he believed in the behavior and purpose that Liu Bei had done mentioned above.

Therefore, after there was a way to continue to maintain the balance between him and Gongsun Zan, he had to consider Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was in Xinye, and he controlled Wancheng. Wancheng was before Zhang Xiu's territory, and Zhang Xiu had defected to Liu Bei before. Cao Cao did not believe that Liu Bei was not familiar with Wancheng.

Once Liu Bei successfully attacks Wancheng, the situation in Nanyang County will be corrupt, and even Xu Du will be threatened and exposed to Liu Bei's military attack.

Facing the safety of his own nest, Cao Cao did not dare to take it lightly. Yang Xiu performed well just now, so Cao Cao continued to ask him what he could do to deal with Liu Bei.

Now Yang Xiu is a little confused. He is young and has not experienced enough. In Yang Xiu's impression, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan are not people of the same level. Gongsun Zan is a prince, while Liu Bei is living under someone else's roof and only occupy one city as a king. The two cannot be the same.

What's more, Liu Bei has been defeated by Cao Cao, so in Yang Xiu's opinion, Liu Bei is no longer worthy of taking it seriously.

So Yang Xiu thought for a while and said, "Lord, my subordinates think that Liu Bei is no longer worth worrying."

"oh?"

Cao Cao became interested and asked, "Tell me!"

Cao Cao's voice was filled with hope, hoping to hear useful words from Yang Xiu's mouth.

Yang Xiu expressed his opinion on Liu Bei and finally suggested: "The Prime Minister only needs to send a general to lead an army to capture Xinye and capture Liu Bei alive."

After hearing Yang Xiu's words, a hint of disappointment flashed in Cao Cao's eyes. Yang Xiu was still too young and had some shortcomings in his knowledge. He only saw Liu Bei's surface, but could not see inside and outside.

It is true that Liu Bei was defeated once by Cao Cao. Liu Bei now only occupied Xinye, with few soldiers and insufficient food and grass, and his strength was very different from Cao Cao. However, behind Liu Bei was Liu Biao. Cao Cao sent troops to deal with Liu Bei, God knows whether it would trigger a direct confrontation between him and Liu Biao.

Cao Cao also had Gongsun Zan's presence around him, and he had a match with Liu Biao. Gongsun Zan was definitely happy to stab the knife in the back.

Therefore, even though Cao Cao knew Liu Bei's current strength, he was reluctant to take action because of this reason.

"Well, I understand."

Cao Cao's tone did not fluctuate at all. Although he was disappointed, it still made people unable to hear any fluctuations in his mood.

"You sit down first." Cao Cao asked Yang Xiudao and asked him to sit here to attend this meeting, which was also a kind of training.

Cao Cao knew that his subordinates were not as talented as Liu Zhe, so he naturally had to train more people when he met a good person.

Yang Xiu was very smart. Cao Cao's plain tone knew that his performance just now made Cao Cao dissatisfied.

At that moment, Yang Xiu calmed down the arrogance on his face and sat down obediently to listen. He stared at everyone present and prepared to study hard. This opportunity is rare.

Seeing that Cao Cao did not adopt Yang Xiu's method of dealing with Liu Bei, those present understood Cao Cao's general thoughts. Liu Bei is not going to fight now, but he has to find a way to prevent Liu Bei from attacking Cao Cao.

Mao Jie was the first to speak out, and he said, "Prime Minister, my subordinates think they can go to Sun Ce."

"Look for Sun Ce?"

"That's right, Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, died of illness. Most of his former subordinates surrendered to Sun Ce. Sun Ce actually took control of Yangzhou himself. However, Sun Ce was so strong that he was fighting for victory and showed his strength. He repeatedly threatened to avenge his father. In order to prevent Sun Ce, Liu Biao sent general Huang Zu to guard Jiangxia."

"The lord may as well follow the flow and send an angel to Yangzhou with the emperor's imperial edict, recognize Sun Ce's Yangzhou governor, and then order him to use troops against Liu Biao. Let his two families attack each other. Although Liu Biao owns the nine counties of Jingzhou and is strong, Sun Ce's strength is also not weak and his morale is even better. Liu Biao may not be his opponent. If Liu Biao cannot defeat Sun Ce, he will definitely want Liu Bei to take action. At that time, Liu Bei naturally had no time to deal with the Prime Minister."

Maojie's words were very long, so they were clearly conditioned and connected. Cao Cao couldn't help but cheer after hearing this.

According to Mao Jie's method, Sun Ce, Liu Bei and Liu Biao families would be entangled and had no time to bother themselves. And they could also cultivate and rectify their arms, rectify their arms, and wait for the opportunity.

What Cao Cao had to pay was some trivial things, such as Sun Ce's Yangzhou Governor. This only required a royal edict, using Sun Ce's troops to attack Liu Biao as a exchange condition. If the court recognizes Yangzhou Governor, Sun Ce had to send troops to attack Liu Biao. Anyway, Yangzhou was already under Sun Ce's rule and could not be snatched, so it would be better to use it as a condition for exchange.

It’s amazing. The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more excited he became. He even wanted to yell a few times to vent.

Once Mao Jie's method is implemented successfully, he can run aside like Liu Zhe, tie a small stool, and watch the show with peace of mind.

It's really wonderful.
