Small Landlords of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 153 188. Landing in Qingzhou
From the moment Merk Roger appeared, the Northern Expedition went in and counted down. This time, because of the disaster of whaling, Sun couldn't help being pulled in.

Even the distant kingdom of Yamatai has been dragged into this fight. From this moment on, the all-out war will begin, and history will enter a new era.

Wang Hao is based in Wu County, Moling. This time the main battlefield is centered on naval battles, and the whack-a-mole strategy is adopted in other places.

What is the strategy of the big landlord? It is the so-called thunder attack. Whoever comes out will die.

Chen Yu: "King Wei, Wang Hao of the South is ready to move. Although General Cao Hong has already led the army to Qingzhou, but..."

Sima Yi: "Although Wang Hao's naval fleet is powerful, General Cao Hong's tiger and leopard cavalry are not vegetarians. If Wang Hao dares to invade Qingzhou..."

Cao Cao had severe headaches for the past few days, but Wang Hao's Northern Expedition was imminent. After he heard the news, he bravely summoned his advisers and generals to discuss matters in his mansion.

Cao Pi: "Father, my son thinks this is a good time for me, Great Wei!"

Cao Cao: "Oh, if you have any good ideas, just say it..."

Cao Pi: "It's true that Wang Hao occupied Yang, Jing, and Jiaozhou's territory. After the battle of Xiliang..."

Cao Cao: "Stop talking about Xiliang."

Cao Cao glared at Cao Pi. In the battle for Xiliang, the Cao camp was first calculated by Yuan Shang, and then by Yuan Tan and Liu Bei.

Cao's camp has accumulated for many years, which was enough to support a big battle, but it was messed up by Ma Chao. In the end, even the battle for Xiliang was defeated, and the storage of food, grass and equipment was almost exhausted.

Today's Cao camp wants to attack Yuan's in the north, and fears that Yuan and Liu Bei will form an alliance, and Cao's camp will be hard to resist when they are attacked on both sides.

Crossing the south of the Yangtze River and going down to fight Wang Hao, the princes will not intervene in this matter, because Wang Hao is the most disliked by the princes from all walks of life.

Cao's food and grass are running out, and Wang Hao is the prince with the most food and grass. In a protracted war with Wang Hao, the Cao's camp will undoubtedly lose, so Cao Cao is very troubled by Wang Hao, his neighbor.

Cao Zhi: "Father, my son thinks that this time Wang Hao goes north, we can use a knife to kill people!"

Cao Cao: "Borrowing a knife to kill someone, please speak slowly..."

Cao Zhi: "Father, you can order Uncle Cao Hong... Let Sun Quan... Wang Hao will... After that... There will be a war, we can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and we can also reap the benefits of the fisherman !"

Cao Cao: "Haha... good! What a trick to kill with a borrowed knife!"

Cao Zhi is also a bad embryo. His idea is obviously to plot against Wang Hao, but he doesn't know if Wang Hao will be tricked this time.

Seeing Cao Cao laughing, Sima Yi knew that Cao Cao was in a particularly good mood, so he gave Cao Pi a wink, and then stood up and started showing off.

Sima Yi: "To the king of Wei, Wang Hao must have come prepared for his trip to the north. We need to be careful, and we can secretly unite with Liu Bei in the middle of Shu..."

Cao Pi: "Mr. Sima is right. If the plan of the second brother works, the boy is willing to lead the army to Chang'an and give Wang Hao a painful..."

Cao Cao: "Okay, one of your two brothers is brave and the other is resourceful. I, Cao Mengde, can have a son like you, so why worry about things failing...haha..."

Cao Cao was already sick and blind. The infighting between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi was well known in the civil and military courts. Many civil and military officials from the Cao family and Xiahou family had already started to stand in line. Only Cao Hong remained in the neutral camp.

Cao Hong's status in the Cao Wei camp is very special. Cao Hong is a younger brother of Cao Cao, and Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Le Jin and others have always assisted Cao Cao in becoming a king.

But Cao Hong started from the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Although he had no intention of assisting Cao Cao all the time, he always held a military power in his hand. This military power occupied about four layers of troops in Cao Wei.

It's fine if it's just military power. These soldiers and horses are directly under Cao Hong's jurisdiction, and they will never enter Cao's camp, nor will they be distributed to other Cao Wei generals.

Even if Cao Cao wants to mobilize these troops, he still needs Cao Hong's soldier talisman, which is equivalent to saying that this army is Cao Hong's private army.

Cao Hong: "Qing Yao, you said that King Wei ordered me to withdraw from PY this time, and sent Sima Yifeng and Cao Zhi to Qingzhou. What is the purpose?"

Yuan Huan, whose name is Yaoqing, is from Fule, Chen County. He was an official to Lang Zhongling, and he was a royal official.

Yuan Huan: "It's hard to say. The king of Wei must never know about the matter of the lord. I'm afraid the Sima family is behind the scenes to send Cao Zhi here.

The Sima family has always been in the wrong direction for the son of Cao Zhi, and no one in the whole Wei Dynasty knows that Sima Yi has his heart for the son of Cao Pi.

This time the King of Wei asked Prince Cao Zhi to lead the army, and let Sima Yi serve as the supervisor of the army, all in charge of the three armies to assist Prince Cao Zhi, this is obviously..."

Cao Hong: "It's best if you don't know, so what if you know. Right now, Wei is surrounded by enemies. Not only do I control tiger and leopard cavalry, but I also have [-] horse archers. If I really turn my face..."

Shocking secret, from Cao Hong's tone, he seems to be ready to turn against Cao Cao, and he has been planning for a long time, so he has remained neutral, not because he has not seen the potential of the two princes, but because he wants to become king on his own, or replace them.

Sun Ce died and had heirs, but Mrs. Wu asked Sun Quan to replace him, creating such a precedent. Cao Hong wanted to see Cao Cao was critically ill, but he came up with the idea of ​​​​replacing him. This world is too crazy.

On the other hand, when Cao Pi led the army westward, Liu Bei thought that Cao Cao was planning to avenge Xiliang, and when he received a messenger saying that Cao Pi and Cao Ren were coming to visit, he was stunned for a while before he realized it.

Cao Pi: "If Uncle Liu Huang is willing to send troops to help him, after the success of his day, the gate of Yizhou will naturally belong to Uncle Liu Huang..."

Liu Bei: "Nephew Cao is very true. Wang Hao and I are indeed immortal. This man has repeatedly spoiled my good deeds and seized the territory of the Han Dynasty and occupied the mountains as king. I also really want to take over the land of Jingzhou, but... ..."

Cao Pi: "My nephew has heard about this for a long time. The reason why I came here to form an alliance this time is to... Uncle Liu Huang... Uncle Zixiao and I will lead the army... and then... we will call Nanyang Zhang Liao..."

Liu Bei: "Okay, this plan is very clever..."

Zhuge Liang: "Cough cough...cough cough..."

Liu Bei: "Sir, you are not feeling well. If you are not feeling well, please don't delay. Tell the doctor..."

Zhuge Liang: "Thank you, my lord, for your concern. Liang just feels cold occasionally, so please, my lord..."

Fazheng: "Mr. Kong Ming is ill, my lord should quickly summon the doctor..."

Liu Bei and Cao Pi had a good talk, but after being coughed by Zhuge Liang and disturbed by Fazheng, they no longer had the mind to discuss further.

Cao Pi and Cao Ren got up to leave, and Zhuge Liang had already told him with actions that this alliance was not so easy.

"Hurry up... hurry up... the three armies must land before dark, and they will enter Beihai County tomorrow. We must not let Langye's Wei Yan take the lead!"

The Huangzu Navy Fleet approached the coastline of Beihai County before dark, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, the landing craft kept delivering supplies to the inland! !
