The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Just as the Liu Bei Group began to recuperate and wait for the opportunity, Cao Cao in Luoyang was restless. Now he has completely fallen into a disadvantage, and even the strength of Jiangdong, which he had looked down upon before, has grown rapidly.

"My lord." Cao Cao began to think of a way out, so he found Xi Zhicai, who he relied on the most, and he needed to make a good plan, otherwise, if this continues, sooner or later he will be defeated by Liu Bei.

"Zhicai, I am in a difficult situation now..." Cao Cao expressed his worries, hoping that Xizhicai could find a way out for him.

"Master." Xi Zhicai said without any change in expression: "Now the east, north, and northwest sides of my lord are blocked by Liu Bei, so don't move lightly, otherwise Liu Bei will take the opportunity to besiege on three sides."

"As for Jiangdong in the south." Xi Zhicai came here and said helplessly: "There are Jiangdong's elite naval forces above the Yangtze River, and Sun Quan mobilized a large army to conquer the south, occupying a large number of territories and population, and his strength is growing rapidly, so it should not be underestimated."

Xi Zhicai said it tactfully, and Cao Cao understood the meaning of the words, Jiangdong is not something you Cao Cao can move, otherwise Sun Quan hit the back, and Liu Bei will fire again, and you can easily solve Cao Cao.

"Now that Liu Bei has conquered Hanzhong, he has dispatched [-] civilians to build roads in Hanzhong to prepare for the conquest of Yizhou. Once Liu Bei is ready, he will surely attack Yizhou with a thunderbolt."

"Although Yizhou has a dangerous terrain, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Liu Zhang is incompetent and has few soldiers. Facing Liu Bei's elite, it is really difficult to defend. If Liu Bei is allowed to go to Yizhou again, the lord will be trapped and die here."

Once Liu Bei kills Liu Zhang and eliminates Liu Zhang, the entire Central Plains will be divided among Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan. The most difficult thing is Cao Cao, because he is surrounded by powerful enemies and has no chance of expansion. .

Sun Quan can continue to expand to the south, and there are countless ways out for Liu Bei. The entire north and west are Liu Bei's expansion range.

When Liu Bei took Fuzhou, Jizhou, and Heilongzhou, his strength increased sharply, and he let Cao Cao, Sun Quan and others know the benefits of external expansion, and Liu Bei used methods such as immigration and assimilation, and soon regarded them as barren land. The undivided land was turned into his own and used by him, which made Cao Cao and Sun Quan know another way to strengthen themselves.

Sun Quan had already started to move, but Cao Cao had no chance because he was already trapped.

"Then I will mobilize the army and attack Yizhou. As long as Yizhou is taken, why not be afraid of Liu Bei and Sun Quan..." Cao Cao refused to admit defeat, and now Yizhou is his only way out.

"Hey." Xi Zhicai shook his head helplessly and said, "Master, Yizhou is an easy place to attack..."

"To unite Jiangdong in the south, we only need [-] Jiangdong soldiers and the land of Huainan, and Liu Bei has to guard against it."

"Beilian Xianbei, now Xianbei's dominance of the grassland is unstoppable, and hundreds of thousands of grassland cavalry are down, so Liu Bei can't move lightly."

"Western Union Liu Zhang, exchange some excellent weapons for food in Yizhou, strengthen Liu Zhang's strength, and make it difficult for Liu Bei to advance."

"The four parties are united, if Liu Bei moves, all the four parties will move..."

Chapter 400 Alliance

Chapter 400 Alliance

Looking for a glimmer of life in desperation, this is the way out that Xi Zhicai planned for Cao Cao, unite all Liu Bei's opponents, no matter who Liu Bei moves, the other forces will send troops to contain them, so that a balance can be found, no one can do anything No one's balance.

Although Sun Quan is in the south, his goal is also the south, but he will always watch the north and watch Liu Bei. Once there is a chance, Sun Quan will definitely return to attack.

As for Liu Zhang, I'm afraid he is looking for allies now. As long as Cao Cao sends someone there, Liu Zhang will definitely agree to Cao Cao's alliance.

On the contrary, the Xianbei on the grasslands in the north. After several battles, the warriors on the grasslands have become afraid of Liu Bei. The three tribes in the grasslands have been defeated by Liu Bei one after another. To provoke Liu Bei.

However, once this matter is successful, it will be difficult for Liu Bei to move forward. The four forces, no matter who faces Liu Bei alone, have no chance of winning, but once the four forces join forces, Liu Bei cannot easily provoke them.

"Very good." Cao Cao was overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately sent someone to inform Xun You, who had already gone south, of Xi Zhicai's calculations, and he must form an alliance with Sun Quan.

Then, Cao Cao sent Dong Zhaoru to Yizhou to form an alliance with Liu Zhang, and at the same time reached various deals. Cao Cao Cao Cao gave Liu Zhang various excellent weapons, and asked Liu Zhang to strengthen his military equipment so that he would not be destroyed by Liu Bei's soldiers.And Liu Zhang exchanged a large amount of grain for these weapons.

As for the grassland, Cao Cao thought about it for a long time, and finally chose Man Chong for a trip. Man Chong has experience in doing this kind of thing, and Man Chong has good wit and eloquence.

"Train elite soldiers internally, hoard food and grass, build city defenses, and monitor all directions." Internally, Xi Zhicai proposed a sixteen-character policy for Cao Cao, which is nothing more than strengthening his own strength and improving his combat effectiveness.

Cao Cao readily agreed, and at the same time he sent envoys to contact all parties, he began internal governance, and Xun Yu was the most powerful in internal governance. It needs to rely on the support of a big family like the Xun family, and although Xun Yu seldom advises Cao Cao, he is still very concerned about government affairs. Cao Cao is still very relieved of Xun Yu's character.

"The war caused the people to be displaced, but send troops to wipe out the rogues, and strictly enforce military discipline, so as not to harass the people."

"Finding out the governance of officials and closely monitoring the words and deeds of the supervisory officials can make the turbid guards participate in the monitoring of officials from all over the place."

"Severely crack down on land encroachment, return the land to the people, and encourage the people to open up wasteland."

"Bingtun, farming for leisure, self-sufficiency."

"It is proposed that the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled in the army should let some young and strong go home to farm, and let the soldiers go home to marry or save seeds in batches."

"Encourage business, levy business tax..."

"..."

Xun Yu made a move, and a series of policies to calm the people were introduced, and many policies to increase the population were introduced, especially the policy of allowing soldiers to return home regularly, which played a key role in the population growth under Cao Cao's rule.

Cao Cao's series of actions did not escape the eyes of the dark guard.

"Cao Mengde dared to secretly liaise with other races, he should be punished!"

Liu Bei was very dissatisfied with Cao Cao's alliance with Xianbei. In Liu Bei's view, Xianbei is a foreign race and the mortal enemy of the great Han. As long as you are a Han, you should not associate with foreign races.

"Cao Cao is in a hurry, but Xianbei is indeed a big problem..." Chen Gong frowned and thought about the solution, but he was disappointed, Cao Cao's alliance is really difficult to deal with.

"Liu Zhang must be willing to form an alliance with Cao Cao. Otherwise, once His Majesty's army comes out, Yizhou will never be spared. As for Jiangdong Sun Quan, his center of gravity is in the south. Now is the time for him to expand rapidly. It is absolutely impossible to abandon the south because of Cao Cao. However, it is possible to join the Cao Cao alliance, after all, once Cao Cao leaves, Jiangdong will be unable to support himself."

"As for Xianbei, now that the main force of the Xiongnu has been defeated, they will soon force the Huns to surrender, but Xianbei has dominated the grasslands, and its strength has greatly increased. With no worries and ambitions, it will definitely send troops south."

Guo Jia analyzed the several forces that Cao Cao united, and found that none of them had a reason to reject Cao Cao. Cooperation would benefit both, and this was their only way out.

"Prairie Xianbei and we are powerless. According to the plan of the prime minister, we should first unify the Central Plains, and then use the power of the whole country to wipe out the enemies of the grassland and divide the grassland into the territory of the Han Dynasty." Chen Ziming has already made a conclusion on the strategy of the grassland. Unless the Central Plains is unified, it will be difficult Completely eliminate hidden dangers in the grassland.

"That's right." Guo Jia said: "The situation in the grassland is special. If you don't completely occupy the grassland and just annihilate the Xianbei, a few decades later, the grassland will form a new powerful enemy, and the grassland itself is insufficient, so it is doomed to only plunder from the outside. enemy."

"Let's start with the easy ones and then the hard ones, and concentrate on winning Yizhou..." In the end, Liu Bei made a decision, and the four forces should be dealt with slowly one by one.

Today's Liu Bei can be said to be rich and powerful, even if the four major forces join forces, Liu Bei is not afraid at all, after all, the national strength is so.

"If Sun Quan's army goes northward, it can still contain one or two. Otherwise, with this strength alone, it will not make the big man intimidated. When everything is ready, we will take Yizhou and see how Cao Cao can go... ..."

Chen Ziming, who was in Liangzhou, smiled slightly after receiving the news from Liu Bei, and didn't think much of the so-called alliance.

"Jizhou has the Xu Sheng Legion, Youzhou has Yan Gang, and Bingzhou has Guan Ning. If the Xianbei army goes south, dispatching one or two legions from Jizhou to the north will be enough to deal with it." Tian Feng is still very good at defending the north, and Xianbei Even if they dominate the grasslands, they will still be stronger than the Xiongnu back then.

"Worry in the north, the main task of Liangzhou now is to quickly digest the Qiang people's chassis, turn it into a boost, and prepare for the westward advance of the Great Han..."

"You have to keep in mind Xu Ziyuan's lesson. Hold on to what you shouldn't reach out, otherwise Xu Ziyuan's bones will still be warm..." Chen Ziming had to remind the officials in Liangzhou, otherwise Xu You would appear again This kind of thing is very detrimental to the development of Liangzhou.

As soon as Chen Ziming let go of what he said, all the officials in Liangzhou began to study politics, especially the leaders, who mercilessly dealt with those officials who stretched out their hands indiscriminately.

You must know that Liu Bei treats officials very well, and his treatment is absolutely eye-catching.And Liu Bei is also a person who hates evil, think about Xu You, a well-known talent in the world, has made great achievements, and is also a relative of the emperor, but what will happen to him.

No one would think that Xu Yougong and Gao Zhenzhu suffered such an end, because there is still Chen Ziming in Liu Bei's group, who would dare to call himself a Gao Zhenzhu.
