Could it be that Boss Cao is afraid of the emperor? Lin Chen thought so subconsciously.

But soon, he extinguished the idea.

No matter from any perspective, Cao Cao's power is much stronger than Liu Bei, and there is no need for him to do so.

Since that's the case, we can only find reasons from other aspects.

After thinking about it carefully and thinking about it, Lin Chen understood.

Although Cao Cao was not afraid, it was obvious that he did not want to have a conflict with Liu Bei at all.

The reason is also very simple.

Due to war in the Central Plains, it has been chaotic for many years. Now, all regions cannot even raise the food for troops sent.

Now he can barely support it, but if the war really starts, it will be devastating to attack his power.

If he wants to eliminate the possibility of war, he must find a noble excuse or stand with Liu Bei in name.

It is such a good excuse to help the emperor.

At first, he could use this to welcome the emperor back, so as to achieve his strategic intention of serving the emperor to fight against unjust officials.

Secondly, he was a camp of loyal ministers in the Han Dynasty at this time. If Liu Bei was really loyal to the Han Dynasty, he would never have to go to war with him.

Otherwise, when he preaches, Liu Bei will become a double-faced person.

It just so happened that Liu Bei was able to survive until today, mainly because he was like in history, always carrying the banner of justice.

If this banner is broken...

Can Liu Bei develop so rapidly in the future?

Obviously, it cannot be.

Even if it can, it will never be as smooth as before.

Moreover, Liu Bei's side would not want to win one or two battles, and the opponent would almost make a good situation of shooting almost all the games.

After comparing the above, it is not difficult to find that Cao Cao is not retreating, but is retreating to advance, delaying the time for a full-scale war between himself and Liu Bei.

Compared with Liu Bei's current basic foundation, Cao Cao, who has Yanzhou and half of Qingzhou's foundation, will be no dream if he develops step by step for one or two years.

By then, if Liu Bei did not develop and grow at the same time during this period, and there would be no other accidents, both sides would be able to calm down easily.

"Cao Mengde, it's really amazing."

Thinking through everything, Lin Chen sighed with great appreciation for Cao Cao's behavior, and then laughed.

"Military advisor, is our army going to withdraw?"

Yuan Huan did not see the smile on Lin Chen's face. He thought it through slowly and said worriedly: "If you attack Cao Cao at this time, it will be quite unfavorable to your lord's reputation."

"Yaoqing, have you heard a word?" Lin Chen turned his head with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Yuan Huan turned around.

The moment he saw Lin Chen’s smile on his face, for some reason, subconsciously relaxed.

"The rumors I haven't heard before are just like dog farts. Its final fate will go with the wind."

"And I also believe it!" Lin Chen still had a smile on his face, and said in a slow but firm tone: "Cao Cao would never dare to make a big splash about this matter. It might even be that it would just give out a little uncertainty."

"Since that's the case, what else do we need to worry about?"

The more Cao Cao's side didn't want to fight, the more he wanted to fight.

Just because of a rumor, he stopped there and even retreated directly, which was too cheap for Cao Cao.

The most important thing is that he believed that Cao Cao would not dare to let the whole world know about going to welcome the emperor.

Because he still has to be on guard against Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao is powerful, what if the other party suddenly moves after he moves?

With Yuan Shao's joining, can Cao Cao still win the emperor?

The reason why they don’t have to be afraid of this is because, in order to grow, they must have a banner that everyone recognizes.

Secondly...

It is also for the world to see that there are still loyal ministers in the Han Dynasty.

At least Liu Bei was a big loyal minister.

Therefore, anyone who has ideas about the Han Dynasty like Xun Yu can come here.

Whether he has ideas about the emperor or just has ideas about the Han Dynasty itself, he can join.

Simply put, these people are of great value for united front.

Cao Cao was different on the other hand.

First of all, he has a young boy named Yuan Shao who has a weird temper and personality.

At the same time, he didn't want the strategy proposed by Mao Jie to be taken first by others.

After all, in the current Central Plains, in addition to Cao Cao, there is also Lu Bu in the area.

To take a step back, even if Lu Bu cannot rescue him, what about Zhang Yang, a senior official of Bingzhou, Zhang Lu, and others in Hanzhong?

These people are not too far from the Three Assistant Land.

Therefore, Lin Chen dared to assert that the information about Cao Cao's support and protection of the emperor would probably be transmitted to him at most and stopped.

It cannot spread again.

Otherwise, even if no one competes with him for the emperor, maybe someone will have to plot against him on the way to him.

"Come on, come with a map!"

After explaining, Lin Chen saw that Yuan Huan hadn't figured it out yet, he shouted directly.

Soon, someone brought the map.

It was at this moment that Yuan Huan finally reacted.

Looking at Lin Chen again, the respect that already had in his eyes gradually became hotter.

"Yaoqing, come and look at the map, and... think about which direction Cao Cao would go to Sanfu."

Lin Chen ignored these things and showed the map in front of Yuan Huan, and said, "I thought that if Cao Cao wanted to welcome the emperor, he would pass by his father's city and Jia County."

"When he left, the Dingling that he had tried to attack before, the land of Zhaoling would inevitably be empty."

"So, I want to contact Li (Tong) Wenda, so that he can quickly attack these two places and take down Wu Fang by the way."

"At the same time, the main force of our army is to pull up the main force of the Cao army in Ye County. When Wenda conquers these two places, he will meet with him and jointly manage Ye County..."

"Yaoqing thought, what do you think?"

While speaking, Lin Chen used a pen to point a few points on the map, and finally he looked at Yuan Huan and said.

"This is a very good discussion, but..."

After hearing this, Yuan Huan nodded heavily, but then asked with a bitter look on his face: "But is this Li Wenda really available?"

Lin Chen knew this sentence and replied: "Li Wenda absolutely lacks ability, as for loyalty..."

"To be honest, I'm a little confused." He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But with the current situation, the best way I can think of is that."

Now, Lin Chen's second plug-in was finally revealed.

Yes, military sense of smell can indeed help him avoid many traps, and at the same time allow him to see clearly the reality of an area.

Once the opponent uses a strategy like an empty city plan, it is basically no different from opening the door in front of him.

But the problem is that he can only observe one city at a time.

Earlier, Liu Bei's power was not strong enough, which was enough.

But now, when you turn on the state of inspiration, you can instantly kill the military smell plug-in.

After all, he can't fly up and see one city after another, right?

Besides, let alone Lin Chen can't fly, if he really knows how to fly...

Then what else do you want to attack the city?

I waved my arms directly, and with this past few days, I guess there will be a crowd of followers in the world...

Just like the Yellow Turban.

But this special cat is a fantasy plot and has nothing to do with reality.

"You still have to work hard to upgrade. Maybe the plug-in after the upgrade can bring some useful good things?"

"The gift plug-in is a bit bad after all..."

While muttering in his heart, he still looked at Yuan Huan.

"If it were someone else, I wouldn't agree to this matter. The risk is too great."
