The Three Kingdoms

For Sun Quan to keep Sun Ce, Xi Zhicai felt that it was a godsend opportunity.

There are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two monarchs in the country. He does not believe that a domineering and arrogant person like Sun Ce will accept defeat willingly. He only needs to provoke and cause another civil strife in the Wu country, and it is just around the corner.

"Okay, let's talk about Wu's affairs later, it's a bit too much to say now, and now I'm just thinking about whether Sun Quan will participate in the battle at Guandu!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, with a worried expression on his face. He gritted his teeth lightly, and said in a low voice: "Wu has a strong national strength and sufficient soldiers and food. We should not underestimate the current situation. Sun Quan has already stabilized the situation. In view of the overall situation, if he bites his teeth and wants to gather [-] elite soldiers, it is not impossible, and by then, he can directly affect the situation of the battle of Guandu!"

Guandu, this battle is too important.

For the two overlords Wei and Jin, whoever loses will be depressed, and whoever wins will become the overlord of the entire Northland. (To be continued.)

[Text 591 War Guandu is ending]

"Wu sent troops, wouldn't it?"

"Dare they?"

"Isn't this an act of death? How much strength do they have in the Jingzhou battle that just ended?"

"..."

When everyone heard the words, they were terrified in their hearts, and a few grumpy generals couldn't help yelling.

As far as they knew, the state of Wu was in a mess inside and out. Could it be that at this time, Sun Quan was unstable and dared to reach out to them? Isn't this the rhythm of courting death?

If one is not careful, this will cause the entire country of Wu to collapse.

One of them couldn't help shouting out: "My lord, Jingzhou has just been pacified by the state of Wu, and Jingzhou has not yet been completely stabilized. Liang, the state of Shu, is eyeing it. In addition, King Wu died in battle, the royal family was in turmoil, and the brothers fought against each other. Sun Quan took Wu with great difficulty. The position of the king, he is not in a hurry to stabilize his own country, do they dare to take the risk to join in?"

"It's hard to say!"

Xi Zhicai sighed bitterly, and said: "Your Majesty's worries are not unreasonable. Sun Zhongmou is sometimes an unreasonable lunatic. According to common sense, he should race against time to stabilize his country. , but he can’t calculate it according to common sense, just like in the past, he was just afraid of the king, and he didn’t hesitate to venture into the East China Sea in order to besiege and kill the king, if he wants to do it, maybe he will do it directly!”

"What Zhicai said is exactly where the lonely heart lies!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded, agreeing with Xi Zhicai. He squinted his eyes, glanced over, and said, "Compared to the bravery and invincibility of Sun Ce, the little overlord, Sun Zhongmou is always incomprehensible, sometimes calm. , sometimes crazy, his behavior is sometimes more dangerous than Sun Ce!"

Sun Quan's resume has always been placed before Cao Cao's case. Cao Cao has been pondering over everything he has done over the years. It seems calm and calm, but at critical times.He always surprises.

For example, the encirclement and annihilation battle in the East China Sea, and for example, he was in a desperate situation in Jizhou because of a Zhang Yan... These are not things that a prudent person would do.

"Your Majesty, since that's the case. Why don't you act first and find something for him to do?" Cheng Yu said suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a bright light flashed across his eyes.

"Zhongde, if there is a good strategy?"

Cao Cao heard the words.His heart trembled, his eyes sparkled, he turned his head, looked at Cheng Yu, and asked hastily.

Cheng Yu, although most of the time is taciturn, but he is also one of Cao Cao's most important counselors.

"My lord, please look!"

Cheng Yu walked up, found a map from Cao Cao's desk, and spread it out in front of Cao Cao.He said: "Although the Wu Kingdom has enough soldiers and food, it has a vast territory and it is not easy to defend. If I want to make something happen, it is still possible."

"Zhongde, you can't let Sun Quan pay attention to ordinary small fights!" Cao Cao said.

"That's natural, but what if it's a rebellion? Compared with Sun Quan, he should pay more attention to it. He can't ignore Wu's country and come to deal with us!"

Cheng Yu smiled darkly, stretched out his hand, and pointed to the area on the map: "There is no need to count on the six counties in the east of the Yangtze River. This is the core territory of Wu State, and we can't move it. Jingzhou, people's hearts are not stable now. But With Lu Bu, Huang Zhong and other fierce generals guarding, I'm afraid they can't do anything to shake their court. This is Jiaozhou, which is remote, but it is still connected to the six counties in the east of the Yangtze River. Although Sun Ce has many direct descendants, they are Wu soldiers after all. , when the overall situation of the court has been settled, they don't have the courage to raise troops, so the only thing that can make Wu Guo suffer, and that Sun Quan has to pay attention to, is only here!"

"Northern Xinjiang?"

When everyone saw the area Cheng Yu pointed out, their eyes became hot all of a sudden.

"Pingzhou and Youzhou, although they have been captured by Wu State for many years, they are too far away from Wu State's mainland, and there are many people who dislike Wu State. In the past, Wu State was able to guard here. One is because of their powerful cavalry guarding northern Xinjiang.

In the battle of Jingzhou, Wu Guo’s navy was transferred nine out of ten to enter the waters of the Yangtze River. Now even if they return to the sea, they will not be able to land and fight in a year or so. Their cavalry in the northern border, also because of the battle of Jingzhou, Most of it was drawn and has yet to return!

As a result, Wu State's military strength in the northern border was greatly weakened. The northern border is full of unyielding and unyielding herdsmen. Without strong troops guarding them, will they be ready to move! "

Cheng Yu analyzed it in detail, and said: "As far as I know, there are still many remnants of soldiers in Youzhou and Liaodong, which was renamed Pingzhou. The remnants of Gongsun Zan in the past, Liu Yu's remnants, and those who were suppressed by the Wu army cavalry for a long time The Xianbei people, the Karasuma people, the Huns... and the Goryeo people in the east of Liaodong, these are their enemies. If we send someone to provoke them, they may not be able to make them rise up. Even if they fail, they can be transferred by comparison. Sun Quan's attention."

"It would be good if they could use their cavalry to deal with the Wu Kingdom, but wouldn't it be too good to use these foreigners from the grassland to deal with the Central Plains people!"

Cao Cao's heart moved, and he asked.

Although he is not an extreme democrat like Gongsun Zan, he has always had some prejudices against nomadic peoples in the grasslands. You must know that his greatest wish in the past was to become a famous Cao Zhengxi who fought against foreign tribes and became famous as a great man.

"Your Majesty, when necessary, you must do something!" Xi Zhicai said in a low voice: "Besides, if you use them to deal with Sun Quan, it may not be Sun Quan who will suffer. Maybe because of this, you will give Sun Quan a chance to wipe out the hidden dangers in northern Xinjiang!"

"Ok!"

Cao Cao thought for a while, and he was right. If they could deal with Sun Quan, Sun Quan probably wouldn't have to scratch his head like this. He looked at the map, thought for a while, and said, "However, someone must assist in this matter, so that we can gather these scattered troops. , disturb the peace of the northern border of Wu State!"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Northern Xinjiang!"

Cheng Yu stood up, cupped his hands and said, "The battle of Guandu has reached the final decisive battle. With Xi Taiwei and Guo Junshi, victory is guaranteed."

"All right!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao glanced at everyone, and after thinking about it, only Cheng Yu was the most suitable. Among his advisers, he was not the smartest, but he was indeed the most ruthless.

In the past, the locust plague, the great chaos in Yanzhou, and the lack of military rations, he dared to use human flesh as food, but he was ruthless to the bone.

Cao Cao held the back of Cheng Yu's hand, and exhorted, "Zhongde, this trip is dangerous, he's transformed into a barbarian, he doesn't know etiquette, he's too impulsive and violent, so be careful!"

He believed in Cheng Yu's ingenuity, but when a scholar meets a soldier, he sometimes can't tell how polite he is. If these nomads are in a hurry, they may do something.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Cheng Yu nodded, his eyes brightened: "I'm sure!"

"There are hundreds of tiger and leopard riders around Gu, so I will allocate them to you for self-defense, which is better than nothing!" Cao Cao said: "Whether you succeed or not, you must return safely!"

"I obey my orders!"

Cheng Yu said a little moved.

————————————————————————

The battle at Guandu has always been one-sided. The Wei army has been suppressed by the morale-inflated Jin army. In the end, it can only retreat step by step, retreating all the way from Guandu.

On May [-]th, Xia Houyuan's army was attacked by Yan Liang's troops on Jiming Mountain. Tens of thousands of soldiers under his command collapsed and was defeated in Jiming Mountain. Nearly [-] soldiers died in battle. He himself was almost beheaded by Yan Liang.

Later, it was Xiahou Dun who guarded Hengyang Road who came to the rescue quickly, and rescued him from Yan Liang's knife.

The direction of Jiming Mountain belongs to the left wing of the battle line. Now that the left wing is lost, Zhang Liao's entire defense line collapses all at once. In the end, the army can only retreat, retreating to Zhongmou Mountain, and shrinking all directions. Concentrate on Zhongmou Mountain and Guandu between.

On May [-]th, Yuan Shao personally led the army, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers came under Zhongmu Mountain, and began the final decisive battle with Cao Cao.

"Your son of the state of Jin is obedient, and at all costs, he must break through Mount Zhongmu and kill Cao Cao. I am proud of the prestige of the state of Jin, kill him!"
