Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

Chapter 726 Cao Cao Doesn't Believe

Since Zhang Liao took refuge in Huayu, he has never had the chance to go to the battlefield.

It's not that Hua Yu doesn't believe in Zhang Liao, it's that Hongnong is so important, because Hangu Pass and Luhun Pass are the only way for the princes of the Guandong to go west.

This moment, that moment.

At that time, Huayu's imperial court was not yet stable. Liangzhou had Ma Teng, Yizhou had Liu Yan, and Jingzhou had Liu Biao. Therefore, Huayu had to block the possibility of the Guandong princes going west.

Only in this way can Huayu deal with the princes around him with peace of mind.

But now, the forces of Liu Yan, Liu Biao and Ma Teng have been wiped out one after another, and the court has completely settled down, Hua Yu no longer has any worries.

Also, in terms of strategy against the Kwantung princes, Hua Yu used to take two steps.

First, focus on defense.

Second, use Ju Yi to enter the Guandong princes and provoke the infighting among the Guandong princes.

But at this time, Hua Yu had no worries, and his strategy for the Kwantung princes would naturally change, giving up defense and turning to offense.

In this way, it would be too wasteful for Zhang Liao to guard Hongnong.

Therefore, it is inevitable to activate Zhang Liao.

But on Huayu's side, he entered the palace and asked for an imperial decree, appointing Zhang Liao as the governor of Yuzhou, in charge of Yuzhou's military affairs.

Hua Yu sent Huo Jun, Huerda, Leng Bao, Deng Xian, Fang Yue, Wu Anguo and other six generals to Zhang Liao as lieutenants.

Then, Hua Yu made a slight personnel adjustment.

First, Xu Rong replaced Xu Huang to guard Bingzhou, and Xu Huang was transferred back.

Since Xu Rong surrendered to Hua Yu, Hua Yu put him in Bingzhou, followed Li Ru, and assisted Xu Huang.

In fact, with Xu Rong's ability, he is definitely a great handsome talent.

It's just that Xu Rong was quite loyal to Dong Zhuo, so he became quite decadent. Hua Yu had to let Li Ru enlighten him slowly.

Now, Dong Zhuo has been dead for a long time, and Xu Rong is also slowly cheering up under Li Ru's persuasion.

Second, Hua Yu dispatched all generals such as Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Huang Zhong, Yan Xing, Cheng Gongying, etc., and handed over the defense of the rear to some generals with upper-level capabilities.

This adjustment meant that Hua Yu was definitely making the final blow to the Kwantung princes.

As for the princes of the Kanto, Gongsun Zan is still fighting Yuan Shao to the death.

Because Yuan Shao had the upper hand, Ju Yi immediately launched an attack, making it impossible for Yuan Shao to destroy Gongsun Zan with all his strength, and the battle continued to be stalemate.

However, only relying on Ju Yi's part could no longer stop Yuan Shao from defeating Gongsun Zan, and it was only a matter of time.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang went on an expedition to Yamatai, but they still haven't returned.

However, according to the news from the Yamatai Kingdom, Liu Bei's Eastern Expedition went very smoothly, like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, and had captured almost half of the Yamatai Kingdom's territory.

But Guan Yu was conscientious in guarding Xuzhou and Jiangdong, and did not dare to neglect in the slightest.

Of course, Guan Yu is not Liu Bei, no matter how many opportunities there are outside, he would not dare to rashly use troops abroad.

As for Yuan Shu.

He has long lost his ambition, and has become a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.

However, the land of Huainan was indeed managed by him like a copper wall and an iron wall. If any princes from one side came to attack, they would be smashed to death.

However, the people in Huainan had a hard time. It can be said that they were suffering unspeakably, and it also laid a hidden danger for Yuan Shu's rapid destruction in the future.

And now the most nervous princes of the Kanto is Cao Cao.

After Man Chong brought the news back and reported it to Cao Cao, Cao Cao almost didn't jump up.

Has Sun Quan joined Hua Yu?
Sensitive Cao Cao immediately realized that Hua Yu was going to attack him.

Even Cao Cao suspected that the reason why Sun Quan surrendered was definitely due to some conspiracy by Hua Yu.

Immediately, Cao Cao sent someone to call Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, and Liu Ye over, and the four advisors gathered.

After listening to Man Chong's retelling of the mission, Xun Yu and the others were also shocked.

Especially Guo Jia, Cao Qing's strategy came from his hands.

Now the strategy has not only failed, but also lost its ugly face, Guo Jia naturally felt embarrassing.

In fact, Guo Jia cannot be blamed for this.

God knows, Sun Quan actually agreed to let Sun An and Sun Hong be maidservants in Duke Wei's mansion.

In any case, Sun Jian and Sun Ce are both princes of one side.

Cao Cao sighed slightly, and said: "Sun Quan surrendered, Hua Yu refused to me, it seems that the next battle between me and Hua Ziyi is inevitable."

Guo Jia frowned and asked, "My lord, Jia thinks this matter is quite strange."

"It should be noted that there are many grievances and grievances between the Sun family and Hua Ziyi."

"Zu Mao was killed by Hua Xiong's sword, Sun Jian was wounded by Hua Yu's arrow, Cheng Pu died by Dian Wei's halberd, Sun Ce's death is also equivalent to Hua Ziyi's death."

"If it is said that Sun Quan endured the humiliation and offered his sisters for peace in order to survive the current crisis, it is understandable."

"But if it is said that Sun Quan raised Yuzhou to seek refuge with Hua Yu, I am afraid that Huang Gai and Han Dang would definitely not agree to it."

"These two are Sun Jian's former generals, they have high prestige in the Sun Army, and they are also Sun Quan's uncles."

"How can Sun Quan disregard the feelings of the two of them and go to Hua Yu in the whole state?"

"Jia thinks that this matter may have been caused by Hua Yu's deceit, in order to make the lord mess up his position."

Hearing what Guo Jia said, Cao Cao immediately felt that it made sense.

Huang Gai and Han Dang were absolutely determined not to seek refuge with Hua Yu.

Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Liu Ye again, and asked, "Wen Ruo, Zhong De, and Zi Yang, what do you three think?"

The three of Xun Yu looked at each other, and nodded in unison: "My lord, the three of us also have the same doubts."

Cao Cao gave a "hmm" and said, "That's right, I think so too."

"As long as Huang Gai and Han Dang are still alive, it is absolutely impossible for Sun Quan to surrender to Hua Yu."

"So, this must be Hua Yu's trick to confuse me and make me panic and act."

"In this case, he can use this as an excuse to attack me."

"Hmph, Hua Ziyi, no matter how clever your plan is, you don't know that I have Feng Xiao, and I can see through your plan at a glance."

Man Chong also nodded: "Indeed, after all, Chong has never met Lu Fan before, so that person must be impersonating."

At this moment, Xu Chu outside the door shouted: "Report to my lord, a secret letter from Yuzhou has been delivered."

Cao Cao laughed and said: "The secret letter sent by the secret agent of Yuzhou, the plot of the Chinese thief must be exposed, Zhongkang will bring the secret letter quickly."

"Here, my lord." Xu Chu responded, walked in, and handed the secret letter to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao took the secret letter with a smile and complacency, opened it, and when he opened it, his expression changed drastically.

"This..." After Cao Cao looked at it, his hand shook, and the secret letter fell lightly on the ground.

Guo Jia hurried over, picked up the secret letter for a look, and immediately shouted: "Sun Quan actually killed Huang Gai and Han Dang?"
