Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 606
"My lord, in my opinion, the death of Lv Bu and the disastrous defeat of Dong Zhuo this time are not all bad things for our coalition forces."

In the oppressive atmosphere, Ju Shou bowed his hands and came out, saying seriously.

"Well, what do you mean by this statement?"

Cao Cao's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he asked with a smile.

"The so-called allied forces in the past were in name only. The princes were full of greed and selfishness. Everyone was afraid of Liu Xie like a tiger. They didn't dare to rush to the front for fear of encountering bad luck. Now that Lu Bu is dead, the situation has changed suddenly. Liu Xie is strong and the princes are weak. But those with great ambitions, who would dare not to fight to the death. Sun Jian in Jiangdong, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger, is indecisive; The two princes, Han Sui and Han Sui, will never decrease but rise in strength. Li Shimin is a man with excellent military skills, strategy, and character. He leads the Xiliang iron cavalry, which is enough to resist Li Jing's victorious army. In this way, the princes are united. With the joint forces, although Liu Xie is strong, it is not invincible, and the danger of Sili can be resolved."

"Hahaha, I have the help of your father, so why worry about the failure of the big thing. Everyone, have you ever heard that it is not enough to be in danger of having many eggs? What is there to be afraid of when the coalition forces are defeated? You are all outstanding people in the world. How can you strive for victory? weak others?"

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard the words. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. A temporary defeat is never terrible.

He already knew what Jushou said, and Cao Cao couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw that all the generals raised their heads in excitement.

"Send a letter to Li Shimin, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian: Liu Xie is powerful, and you should be clear about it. Cao can't stand alone. If you still act vaguely, then forgive Cao for not being with you. The Cao family, it's a big deal to be Liu again Courtier."

These words are already extremely bold, and they are tantamount to rebellion. Cao Cao smiled coldly. It's time for these guys in the cloak of benevolence, righteousness and loyalty to reveal their hidden wolfish ambitions.

"Cao Mengde is forcing us to make a decision."

In Tongguan, Li Shimin smiled faintly, with a calm expression on his handsome face, as if he had expected it.

In a military rebellion, Jinlin was able to command an army of [-], and all of them were elite cavalry from Xiliang. Now that the situation is gathering, it is time for the dragon to roam the nine heavens.

Beside him, there were Li Yuanba, Li Xiaogong, Wu Yunzhao, Chai Shao, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other civil and military personnel, and even Chen Gong and Zang Ba who escaped by chance some time ago.

With such talents gathered together, apart from Dong Zhuo in name, Li Shimin's strength is not weaker than any princes along the way.

"To fight against the outside world, you need to secure the inside first. The situation in Guanzhong is no different than other places. Cao Mengde and others said that they have no worries about fighting, but the situation of our army is very different. At present, there is no one to rely on except Tongguan. Liu Xie must fight, but not now. , our army must first find a place to settle down, so as not to worry about the future."

Fang Xuanling stepped forward to remonstrate that Cao Cao's words were half-true and half-false, in fact, to inspire people to send troops to attack Liu together. However, Li Shimin's foundation is still too weak after all, and it is unwise to fight Liu Xie now.

And if nothing else happened, once they sent troops, they would definitely face Li Jing.

Li Jing used his troops like a god, and he never lost. Li Cunxiao, Ran Min, Zhao Yun, Gao Chong, Ma Chao, Wen Chou, Zhang He and other generals under his command are all well-known generals in the world. fiasco.

"I don't know Xuanling's concerns, but the situation cannot be controlled by others. Liu Xie has become an unstoppable trend. The princes of the world will be wiped out by him, and there will be only four roads left. If we continue to have selfish thoughts, we will be powerless to return to heaven."

Li Shimin sighed, his eyes were as deep as water, no one could see what he was planning.

"Tell Cao Mengde that I, Li Shimin, blocked Li Jing's army in Bingzhou. As for the other routes, it's up to Liu Bei, Sun Jian and Cao Cao himself."

The same situation played out in Qiaojun. Liu Bei adopted the advice of his military adviser Fazheng and ordered Zhang Juzheng to sit in Jingzhou. With his second brother Guan Yu, he sent 12 troops northward.

After Cao Cao heard the news of Li Shimin and Liu Bei's mobilization of the army, he also immediately transferred 20 troops from Shu, together with Cao Ren, Yang Xuangan, Wang Yanzhang, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and other generals, a total of [-] troops.

In this way, among the four princes in the world, only Jiangdong Sun Jian has not yet made a decision.

"It is really a big problem to take advantage of the weakness and attack Jingzhou, or to join forces to march north and attack Xuzhou together."

Jiangdong Jianye, Sun Jian frowned and said unceremoniously that his current decision was enough to determine the development direction of the world.

Allied with the princes to attack Xuzhou, he broke his promise and was criticized by the world, even his most beloved and guilty daughter would hate him for the rest of his life.

If you help Liu Xie, Jingzhou can be taken down, but what about after taking Jingzhou?
Once Jingzhou changes hands, Liu Bei will be defeated by the enemy.If Liu Bei is defeated first, the allied forces will lose their vigor. No matter how powerful Cao Cao and Li Shimin are at that time, they will hardly be Liu Xie's opponents, let alone Sun Jian in Jiangdong and Jingzhou.

Perhaps, Sun Jian had already made a decision in his heart on how to choose, but he couldn't say it just thinking of this paper covenant and the joyful appearance of his daughter's return that day.

After all, Sun Jian is still old, his sharpness is fading, his pride fades, his ambition can no longer hold the world, and the people and things he cares about become less and less, and he is quite indecisive.

"My father taught me since I was a child that when a man walks in the world, he should have his feet on the ground and his head above the sky, and there is no guilt in bowing down. Since we have formed an alliance with King Wu, it is unkind not to send troops for a long time. Do we have to turn against each other today? Righteous?"

Sun Ce's face was full of righteousness, just like when he was young, he did not change his original intention, but his brows were full of anxiety.

"Jiangdong Erlang thinks that he is not weak against others. The worst thing is that after defeating the princes of the four routes, he will rule across the river with Liu Xie and compete in the Central Plains."

Veteran Cheng Pu was furious and most loyal, he immediately echoed Sun Ce's words and said that he still remembered that before Sishui Pass, it was Liu Xie who sent troops in time to rescue them all.

The rest of the generals heard the words, and they all responded, and the fierce voice resounded throughout the hall.

Generals have their own integrity, and loyalty is important to them.

Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao and other civil servants were all silent and did not speak. They took a longer-term view and knew that with Liu Xie's current strength and prestige, Jiang Dong alone could not only win the battle.

They also know that the lord Sun Jian understands this better than anyone else, and the final choice depends on Sun Jian himself. As courtiers, they can only choose to obey.
