[Comprehensive + Sword Three] Wu'an World
Chapter 65 Fish ♂ Water ♂ Joy ♂
Su Yunqing stayed in Bingzhou, but it was impossible for Cao Cao to stay behind. Cao Cao attached great importance to this war, so he naturally went to the front line in person.
Of course, Cao Cao also discovered that there seemed to be something wrong.
"This information... are you sure?"
Cao Cao looked at the latest information brought back by the spies and always felt that there was something wrong. This arrangement was different from what Mao Jie sent back before!
With that said, Cao Cao handed the information to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, take a look?"
All of Cao Cao's arrangements were made according to the information that Mao Jie sent back. Of course, Cao Cao really admired the person who made that plan. At least if he didn't know about it, it might really be a disaster A very difficult battle, and even losing is not impossible.
Of course, if he knows all of Su Yunqing's plans, then this matter will be easier to handle. This is why Cao Cao is confident in resisting Su Yunqing's offensive this time. He can even make good use of it in Cao Cao's plan. In this war, after all, he still has greater ambitions.
Mao Jie can only be used this time, and there are many capable people in Bingzhou. After this time, Mao Jie will definitely be discovered, so Cao Cao also knows that if he can't get Su Yunqing out this time and make her powerless to commit crimes, and at the same time strengthen himself, he will be able to deal with it in the future. But there is no chance.
But the premise of all this is that Su Yunqing has to follow the script, but now the script seems to be different?
This is something that Cao Cao needs to pay attention to.
Guo Jia looked at it but didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing: "My lord, don't worry. Although this information is slightly different from the plan we got, it's just a detail. It's impossible to do anything with the real plan." The original plan is exactly the same, let alone such a large-scale war, the generals and counselors from all walks of life will have their own ideas, so it is normal to be slightly different."
This is a matter of course. If someone would just copy the original plan regardless of the actual situation, then there would be no need to fight this battle. This kind of idiot with a bit of intelligence can kill him.
Therefore, a small change is called normal, and no change is called abnormal.
In Guo Jia's view, these small details are actually not important.
"The important thing is that we know where Su Yunqing's main force is, what her grand strategy and basic tactics are, how her army is mobilized, and how her logistics are guaranteed. These are enough."
Don't worry about things that are too detailed.
Hearing what Guo Jia said, Cao Cao felt right after thinking about it. He himself has excellent military qualities and is proficient in the art of war. This time, he was just too nervous because his opponent was Su Yunqing. Now Guo Jia comforted him with a few words , Cao Cao also relaxed a lot, and naturally he would not be nervous about this trivial matter anymore.
Guo Jia also understood Cao Cao's current mood, so even though Cao Cao asked him stupid questions this time, he still answered them patiently.
My lord, you have to pamper me _(: 3ゝ∠)_
In this way, maybe Cao Cao felt his love that was full of pampering, so he reciprocated and pampered him again, and never let Chen Qun control him anymore?
Guo Jia said that as long as Chen Qun is not allowed to babble with him, let alone a problem of this level, even if it is a more stupid question, he will be very patient if he asks him to explain it a hundred times, really!
Now that it was confirmed that Su Yunqing's plan was fine, Cao Cao naturally regained his confidence. He ordered Gao Lan and Xu Huang to march into Baima Yanjin, and ordered Yu Jin and Li Dian to guard the border of Qingzhou strictly.
Cao Cao himself led a heavy army to garrison the Guandu area.
Cao Cao knew that he was no match for Su Yunqing, who was sitting in the land of six states, so what he had to do was to concentrate his troops and guard these most important and critical places.
Anyway, Su Yunqing came to attack these places. If these places cannot be conquered, even if Su Yunqing occupies other places, it will be useless.
Having said that, Cao Cao was still nervous, because it was Lu Bu and his little friend Zhang Liao Gaoshun who Su Yunqing sent to attack the White Horse and Yanjin this time. Facing the combination of these three, Cao Cao was unprecedentedly nervous .
He knew exactly how strong Lv Bu's fighting power was, and he had even seen it with his own eyes. Whether it was flattening the Yellow Turban or defeating Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao was very impressed by Lu Bu's flying fighting power.
But apart from Lu Bu, the person who really made Cao Cao nervous was actually Zhang Liao.
This question is actually quite simple, Lu Bu is unparalleled in the world, even if generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei join forces, they may not be his opponent, but Lu Bu has no brains!
Big fists are indeed very useful, but if you have no brains, no matter how big your fist is, it is not terrible, because there are ways to deal with it.
In the past, the relationship between the two families was good. No matter whether it was in Luoyang or the later Huangjin Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and Su Yunqing and Lu Bu got along a lot, so he knew the mother and son very well. If there was only one Lu Bu, Cao Cao would deal with it confidently. It's actually not too difficult.
Of course, Su Yunqing also knew what Cao Cao knew, so she assigned Zhang Liao to Lu Bu. Lu Bu had no brains, but Zhang Liao did!
Zhang Liao's ability is still very strong.
Therefore, Lu Bu's threat to Cao Cao is very huge. After all, the opponent is not only scary with big fists, but also successfully recharged his IQ. This gap can be bridged.
Cao Cao couldn't help worrying about whether Xu Huang and Gao Lan could stop Lu Bu. Although Gao Lan was a famous general, his force value...even if Xu Huang was added, they couldn't reach the same level as Lu Bu.
Cao Cao was heartbroken.
You said that if he had generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he wouldn't have to worry about this. After all, even if they were not opponents, they would still have the strength to fight Lu Bu.
However, Cao Cao did not.
But the battle still had to be fought, fortunately he knew all of Su Yunqing's plans, since he couldn't fight by force alone, he should take another route.
However, when Su Yunqing and Cao Cao finally broke up in the Yanjin Baima area, another major event happened in Yangzhou.
This matter is related to Yuan Shu.
Ever since Cao Cao took Yuzhou, Yuan Shu's life has been difficult. Even though Yuan Shu still has Yangzhou, even though Yangzhou's area is very, very large, it is completely a rhythm of top few, but the degree of wealth is different!
Yangzhou in this era includes part of Jiangsu, part of Anhui, Shanghai, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian... even a part of Hubei and Henan. Speaking of it, these places are actually very economical areas in later generations , especially in the south, but this is not the case in this day and age.
The focus of this era is in the north, and the south is relatively poor. Just like Yangzhou, although I don’t know how much bigger than Yuzhou, in fact, it may not be as good as Yuzhou in terms of finance. Living in a poor place like Yangzhou, Yuan Shu wouldn't be depressed!
Especially the one who drove him to Yangzhou was Cao Cao, the descendant of the eunuch whom he had always looked down on since he was a child.
Yuan Shu was depressed and soon fell ill. Once Yuan Shu fell ill, he had no one under his command who could shoulder the burden, so he could only rely on Liu Bei. Liu Bei was indeed a very good person, and he could do well what Yuan Shu entrusted to him. Even relying on the fact that everyone's surname is Liu, and they are all relatives of the emperor, Liu Bei even hitched up Jingzhou next door to Yangzhou, that is, Liu Biao's side.
Liu Biao was really a real person, and he didn't have much ambition, he just wanted to protect his own one-acre three-point land, so when Liu Bei went to talk to him, he immediately expressed his willingness to live in peace with Yuan Shu and not invade each other.
Of course, because of this, Yuan Shu had to rely on Liu Bei even more. In addition, Yuan Shu's illness became more and more serious, and he had no tendency to recover at all. Gradually, Liu Bei took charge of Yangzhou.
When Su Yunqing and Cao Cao joined forces, Yuan Shu, who had been ill for a long time, finally died.
Once Yuan Shu died, the primary task was nothing else but to establish a new owner of Yangzhou, and the best candidate for this new owner was naturally Liu Bei.
When someone proposed that Liu Bei be the governor of Yangzhou, Liu Bei naturally refused. According to Liu Bei's intention, Yuan Shu treated him very favorably. How could he occupy Yuan Shu's territory after Yuan Shu's death?
It's not that Yuan Shu has no sons. Yuan Shu has an eldest son, Yuan Yao. Liu Bei said that he is willing to take Yuan Yao as the leader and support Yuan Yao as the governor of Yangzhou. He only needs a shelter.
But Yuan Yao is incompetent, he has never done anything, so naturally he can't convince others. Besides, Yuan Shu did his best to end up with no one under his command, so most of his troops in the later period were collected by Liu Bei and let Liu Bei lead them. After all, Liu Bei His subordinates are such fierce generals as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
It can be said that Liu Bei now has tens of thousands of horses in his hands, and most of Yuan Shu's army is under his control. If he is not the governor of Yangzhou, can anyone else be?
But Liu Bei said that his military power was given by Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu was kind to him. He couldn't take Yuan Yao's position just because of his own strength at this time. , then Liu Bei is acceptable, but Yuan Shu does not, and Yuan Shu still has his eldest son Yuan Yao alive, so Liu Bei is not willing to occupy Yangzhou.
But everyone didn't want to see Yuan Yao, who was incompetent, useless, or even powerless. They all supported Liu Bei as the governor of Yangzhou, and Liu Bei firmly refused to accept it, so the matter remained deadlocked.
There is an old saying that a country cannot be without a king for a day, and the same is true of Yangzhou today. It is necessary to choose a leader, otherwise Yangzhou will inevitably become a mess again, and the prefects and powerful rulers in various places will be separated.
This is also the reason why everyone chose Liu Bei. Yuan Yao couldn't control the situation at all. Let him be the governor of Yangzhou, and Yangzhou would be in chaos immediately.
However, Liu Bei himself did not accept it.
In the end, even Liu Biao of Jingzhou wrote to Liu Bei to persuade him to be the governor of Yangzhou, and even Liu Biao wrote to the imperial court as a member of the same family, asking Liu Bei to be the governor of Yangzhou.
At this time, Yuan Yao, who had been vacillating all the time and wanted to be the governor of Yangzhou but had no ability, also came out to speak. He told Liu Bei that he did not have the ability to take on such a big responsibility, and asked Liu Bei to lead the governor of Yangzhou.
After going back and forth like this many times, Liu Bei refused four or five times just on formal occasions, but in the end he couldn't stand the persuasion of everyone. His superior position was expected by everyone, and the appointment of the imperial court had also arrived, so Liu Bei reluctantly accepted Yangzhou. The position of the governor.
But Liu Bei also told Yuan Yao that this should have belonged to Yuan Yao, and he really felt ashamed to be the governor of Yangzhou.
But everyone knows that if Liu Bei is not in the position, no one can be in it. If Yuan Yao is really in charge, it is not called inheriting his father's career, but it is called collective death.
Of course, also because of this incident, Liu Bei's reputation spread completely. Everyone said that Liu Bei was a benevolent gentleman, which attracted many talents to join him for a while.
Liu Bei finally got rid of the situation of three brothers rushing into the rivers and lakes. One month after Liu Bei succeeded the governor of Yangzhou, Liu Bei got the first counselor in his life, Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Zhao Zibu was originally from Xuzhou, but later he came to Jiangdong to avoid chaos. His talents and virtues are also widely known and highly respected.
Liu Bei was naturally happy after seeing Zhang Zhao, and he was even moved to tears.
After struggling for most of his life, seeing Cao Cao, Su Yunqing and others, who were not much different in age from him, ruled over one side with countless officials and military generals, but he was still a brother and three people, Liu Bei always felt sad in his heart.
But now it's different, he got Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Zhao's talent is also highly respected and praised.
Liu Bei took Zhang Zhao's hand and said while crying, "Sir is my Wenhe, my Wenruo."
This is talking about Jia Xu and Xun Yu, and the status of Jia Xu and Xun Yu with Su Yunqing and Cao Cao, everyone in the world knows.
So the meaning of Liu Bei's words is too obvious. Of course, he is also telling Zhang Zhao that Zhang Zhao's future status will be like that of Jia Xu and Xun Yu.
Being valued and reused by Liu Bei, Zhang Zhao was naturally very moved. It is very popular in this era to die for the confidant.
In addition, when Zhang Zhao talked with Liu Bei, no matter they were talking about world affairs or governing one side, they had a lot in common, and Liu Bei felt more and more that he had obtained a treasure.
So for a while, the two of them ate and slept in the same bed, and even went out hand in hand and sat in the same car, it was really intimacy.
But Liu Bei and Zhang Zhao were close, one or two days was okay, but after a long time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were dissatisfied.
After all, Liu Bei paid too much attention to Zhang Zhao, so it was inevitable that he would neglect his brother. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were immediately left out. Coupled with Guan Yu's arrogance, he always looked down on those weak scholars, so he was even more dissatisfied.
You know, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were with Liu Bei in the past!
The three brothers who have the best and closest relationship are the three of them. Who would have thought that Zhang Zhaolai has emerged to occupy all Liu Bei's attention.
Especially eating and sleeping together, the two who slept with Liu Bei in the past were obviously the two of them, okay?
What kind of thing does Zhang Zhao dare to intervene?
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were dissatisfied, they would not create trouble for Liu Bei, they would inevitably find trouble with Zhang Zhao, and even the two of them were very obvious that Liu Bei was also a smart person, so naturally they soon found out.
He took the hands of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, comforted them and said, "You shouldn't disrespect Zibu, let alone reject him. I got Zibu, just like a fish finally got water. I'm very happy, and you should be happy for me too, don't make things difficult for Zibu in the future."
Guan Yu glanced at him and didn't speak, but Zhang Fei said, "But brother, in the past, the three of us were together. Now there is one more person, anyway, I'm not happy."
It always felt like they weren't as close as they used to be.
Liu Bei shook his head: "Yide, Zibu is someone who can make me achieve great things, and you and I are brothers in one body, how can this be compared? I hope you can be happy for me, and we will be happy with Zibu in the future. Bu gets along well."
Zhang Fei wanted to say something else, but Guan Yu said, "Okay, since the eldest brother has said so, I will not trouble him in the future."
In fact, it's not that he doesn't understand, on the contrary, Guan Yu understands Zhang Zhao's meaning to Liu Bei, which is why he doesn't do anything excessive even though he loses his temper.
Now that Liu Bei is coaxing him, Guan Yu's temper will naturally go down, and he still knows how to put the overall situation first.
Liu Bei's side can be said to be harmonious and happy, but Cao Cao is not.
Xu Huang and Gao Lan failed to stop Lu Bu in the end, and had to give up the white horse Yanjin after a hard fight.
When they saw Cao Cao, they lowered their heads and looked very frustrated, but Cao Cao laughed and praised them for playing well.
"Lu Bu's bravery is unparalleled in the world. How many people can compare with Lu Bu in this world? You two have fought very well this time, so you should not only not lose but be proud. You can play such a wonderful match with Lu Bu. Fighter!"
Cao Cao took the two men's hands and said: "The defeat in this battle is not your fault, and even you are not only innocent but meritorious. I should commend and reward you."
Cao Cao's words finally brought back the morale of the defeated army a lot. Yes, Lu Bu's bravery is well known in the world, and it is not a shame to lose to Lu Bu. Then again, whoever meets Lu Bu will not be ashamed. After a defeat, it was very rare for them to be able to fight Lu Bu for so long, and they could hold their heads high.
After appeasing the soldiers, Cao Cao sighed when he returned to his commander's tent. Although he said it was easy, in fact Cao Cao knew that he had lost the first line of defense, and the remaining second line of defense was Guandu At the same time, Guandu is also the last line of defense. If Guandu makes mistakes, it will really be over.
Cao Cao never expected that Baima, Yanjin and Tianjin would be lost so quickly. In fact, this is because he knew Su Yunqing's plan in advance and made arrangements. Can't stop.
Cao Cao sighed, he knew that Baima Yanjin would not be able to hold on, and he didn't even plan to stick to these two places, so to speak, but when he really had to face it, he would inevitably feel pressure in his heart.
After all, he has no way to retreat.
"...I just hope everything goes well with Yuan Rang Miaocai."
If there is no problem with Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, Cao Cao can still have a chance to come back.
Moreover, it's not that he didn't make other preparations, isn't Liu Ye not here this time?
Of course, Liu Ye was not lazy. In fact, Liu Ye ran away before the start of the war. Oh, he didn't sneak away, he was sent out by Cao Cao.
Liu Ye can also be regarded as a member of the old Liu family. Cao Cao asked him to go to Jingzhou to find Liu Biao's relationship.
Although everyone laughed at Liu Biao for sitting in Jingzhou but having no ambitions, he was just a master of success, but for Cao Cao now, he just wants to unite all available forces.
Liu Ye and Liu Biao would be able to play a few more shots, so Liu Ye would have a certain advantage in going to Liu Biao.
Besides, no matter how incompetent Liu Biao was, Cao Cao didn't believe that Liu Biao wouldn't care if Su Yunqing occupied Nanyang like that?
Nanyang is Jingzhou's gateway to the north. Occupying Nanyang means cutting a piece of Liu Biao's body, putting a knife on Liu Biao's neck. Does Liu Biao really care?
How could he not care!
Besides, the whole world knows how Nanyang was lost, it was Liu Biao who stupidly sent Zhang Xiu to defend the city, but Zhang Xiu happened to be Su Yunqing's senior brother, and he patted his ass to find his family-friendly junior sister, leaving Liu Biao crying faint In Jingzhou.
That is really the water of the Yangtze River, my tears~~~
Cao Cao didn't believe that things were like this. Liu Biao could not hate Su Yunqing and Zhang Xiu.
Liu Biao must hate these two!
And as long as Liu Biao has the intention to take back Nanyang, he can cooperate with Cao Cao. As long as Liu Biao cooperates with Cao Cao, Su Yunqing's side will immediately become unstable.
Cao Cao knew it. According to the news from Mao Jie, Sizhou and Yongzhou took up too many resources in Su Yunqing's hands. In addition, she had to guard against stabbing knives in the back by foreigners on the border, such as Xianbei people, Qiang people, even Liangzhou people. It is possible for Zhou to give her a knife, so Su Yunqing looks powerful, but in fact the power he can mobilize is limited.
This time Su Yunqing sent out a large army to fight Cao Cao. In fact, her troops were already very tight. It is said that in order to fight Cao Cao, Su Yunqing mobilized a lot of troops. Of course, those in other places are not easy to move, but those stationed in Nanyang can. move.
After all, everyone knows that Liu Biao is incompetent, and Su Yunqing doesn't take Liu Biao seriously. Su Yunqing's contempt for Liu Biao makes Su Yunqing's power in Nanyang empty, and she puts most of her strength and attention on Cao Cao.
Cao Cao thinks that if Liu Biao can cooperate with him to launch an offensive against Nanyang at this time, then there is a great possibility that Liu Biao can take Jingzhou back.
Of course, Cao Cao also knew that such a good piece of meat from Nanyang had already been placed in Su Yunqing's bowl. If Liu Biao took it back, Su Yunqing would definitely fry it.
Su Yunqing and Liu Biao are torn apart, so his life will be easier.
Besides, besides Liu Biao, he also contacted Ma Teng of Liangzhou and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong.
Su Yunqing's side and back are all his natural allies.
Of course, Cao Cao also discovered that there seemed to be something wrong.
"This information... are you sure?"
Cao Cao looked at the latest information brought back by the spies and always felt that there was something wrong. This arrangement was different from what Mao Jie sent back before!
With that said, Cao Cao handed the information to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, take a look?"
All of Cao Cao's arrangements were made according to the information that Mao Jie sent back. Of course, Cao Cao really admired the person who made that plan. At least if he didn't know about it, it might really be a disaster A very difficult battle, and even losing is not impossible.
Of course, if he knows all of Su Yunqing's plans, then this matter will be easier to handle. This is why Cao Cao is confident in resisting Su Yunqing's offensive this time. He can even make good use of it in Cao Cao's plan. In this war, after all, he still has greater ambitions.
Mao Jie can only be used this time, and there are many capable people in Bingzhou. After this time, Mao Jie will definitely be discovered, so Cao Cao also knows that if he can't get Su Yunqing out this time and make her powerless to commit crimes, and at the same time strengthen himself, he will be able to deal with it in the future. But there is no chance.
But the premise of all this is that Su Yunqing has to follow the script, but now the script seems to be different?
This is something that Cao Cao needs to pay attention to.
Guo Jia looked at it but didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing: "My lord, don't worry. Although this information is slightly different from the plan we got, it's just a detail.

Liu Bei finally got rid of the situation of three brothers rushing into the rivers and lakes. One month after Liu Bei succeeded the governor of Yangzhou, Liu Bei got the first counselor in his life, Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Zhao Zibu was originally from Xuzhou, but later he came to Jiangdong to avoid chaos. His talents and virtues are also widely known and highly respected.
Liu Bei was naturally happy after seeing Zhang Zhao, and he was even moved to tears.
After struggling for most of his life, seeing Cao Cao, Su Yunqing and others, who were not much different in age from him, ruled over one side with countless officials and military generals, but he was still a brother and three people, Liu Bei always felt sad in his heart.
But now it's different, he got Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Zhao's talent is also highly respected and praised.
Liu Bei took Zhang Zhao's hand and said while crying, "Sir is my Wenhe, my Wenruo."
This is talking about Jia Xu and Xun Yu, and the status of Jia Xu and Xun Yu with Su Yunqing and Cao Cao, everyone in the world knows.
So the meaning of Liu Bei's words is too obvious. Of course, he is also telling Zhang Zhao that Zhang Zhao's future status will be like that of Jia Xu and Xun Yu.
Being valued and reused by Liu Bei, Zhang Zhao was naturally very moved. It is very popular in this era to die for the confidant.
In addition, when Zhang Zhao talked with Liu Bei, no matter they were talking about world affairs or governing one side, they had a lot in common, and Liu Bei felt more and more that he had obtained a treasure.
So for a while, the two of them ate and slept in the same bed, and even went out hand in hand and sat in the same car, it was really intimacy.
But Liu Bei and Zhang Zhao were close, one or two days was okay, but after a long time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were dissatisfied.
After all, Liu Bei paid too much attention to Zhang Zhao, so it was inevitable that he would neglect his brother. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were immediately left out. Coupled with Guan Yu's arrogance, he always looked down on those weak scholars, so he was even more dissatisfied.
You know, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were with Liu Bei in the past!
The three brothers who have the best and closest relationship are the three of them. Who would have thought that Zhang Zhaolai has emerged to occupy all Liu Bei's attention.
Especially eating and sleeping together, the two who slept with Liu Bei in the past were obviously the two of them, okay?
What kind of thing does Zhang Zhao dare to intervene?
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were dissatisfied, they would not create trouble for Liu Bei, they would inevitably find trouble with Zhang Zhao, and even the two of them were very obvious that Liu Bei was also a smart person, so naturally they soon found out.
He took the hands of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, comforted them and said, "You shouldn't disrespect Zibu, let alone reject him. I got Zibu, just like a fish finally got water. I'm very happy, and you should be happy for me too, don't make things difficult for Zibu in the future."
Guan Yu glanced at him and didn't speak, but Zhang Fei said, "But brother, in the past, the three of us were together. Now there is one more person, anyway, I'm not happy."
It always felt like they weren't as close as they used to be.
Liu Bei shook his head: "Yide, Zibu is someone who can make me achieve great things, and you and I are brothers in one body, how can this be compared? I hope you can be happy for me, and we will be happy with Zibu in the future. Bu gets along well."
Zhang Fei wanted to say something else, but Guan Yu said, "Okay, since the eldest brother has said so, I will not trouble him in the future."
In fact, it's not that he doesn't understand, on the contrary, Guan Yu understands Zhang Zhao's meaning to Liu Bei, which is why he doesn't do anything excessive even though he loses his temper.
Now that Liu Bei is coaxing him, Guan Yu's temper will naturally go down, and he still knows how to put the overall situation first.
Liu Bei's side can be said to be harmonious and happy, but Cao Cao is not.
Xu Huang and Gao Lan failed to stop Lu Bu in the end, and had to give up the white horse Yanjin after a hard fight.
When they saw Cao Cao, they lowered their heads and looked very frustrated, but Cao Cao laughed and praised them for playing well.
"Lu Bu's bravery is unparalleled in the world. How many people can compare with Lu Bu in this world? You two have fought very well this time, so you should not only not lose but be proud. You can play such a wonderful match with Lu Bu. Fighter!"
Cao Cao took the two men's hands and said: "The defeat in this battle is not your fault, and even you are not only innocent but meritorious. I should commend and reward you."
Cao Cao's words finally brought back the morale of the defeated army a lot. Yes, Lu Bu's bravery is well known in the world, and it is not a shame to lose to Lu Bu. Then again, whoever meets Lu Bu will not be ashamed. After a defeat, it was very rare for them to be able to fight Lu Bu for so long, and they could hold their heads high.
After appeasing the soldiers, Cao Cao sighed when he returned to his commander's tent. Although he said it was easy, in fact Cao Cao knew that he had lost the first line of defense, and the remaining second line of defense was Guandu At the same time, Guandu is also the last line of defense. If Guandu makes mistakes, it will really be over.
Cao Cao never expected that Baima, Yanjin and Tianjin would be lost so quickly. In fact, this is because he knew Su Yunqing's plan in advance and made arrangements. Can't stop.
Cao Cao sighed, he knew that Baima Yanjin would not be able to hold on, and he didn't even plan to stick to these two places, so to speak, but when he really had to face it, he would inevitably feel pressure in his heart.
After all, he has no way to retreat.
"...I just hope everything goes well with Yuan Rang Miaocai."
If there is no problem with Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, Cao Cao can still have a chance to come back.
Moreover, it's not that he didn't make other preparations, isn't Liu Ye not here this time?
Of course, Liu Ye was not lazy. In fact, Liu Ye ran away before the start of the war. Oh, he didn't sneak away, he was sent out by Cao Cao.
Liu Ye can also be regarded as a member of the old Liu family. Cao Cao asked him to go to Jingzhou to find Liu Biao's relationship.
Although everyone laughed at Liu Biao for sitting in Jingzhou but having no ambitions, he was just a master of success, but for Cao Cao now, he just wants to unite all available forces.
Liu Ye and Liu Biao would be able to play a few more shots, so Liu Ye would have a certain advantage in going to Liu Biao.
Besides, no matter how incompetent Liu Biao was, Cao Cao didn't believe that Liu Biao wouldn't care if Su Yunqing occupied Nanyang like that?
Nanyang is Jingzhou's gateway to the north. Occupying Nanyang means cutting a piece of Liu Biao's body, putting a knife on Liu Biao's neck. Does Liu Biao really care?
How could he not care!
Besides, the whole world knows how Nanyang was lost, it was Liu Biao who stupidly sent Zhang Xiu to defend the city, but Zhang Xiu happened to be Su Yunqing's senior brother, and he patted his ass to find his family-friendly junior sister, leaving Liu Biao crying faint In Jingzhou.
That is really the water of the Yangtze River, my tears~~~
Cao Cao didn't believe that things were like this. Liu Biao could not hate Su Yunqing and Zhang Xiu.
Liu Biao must hate these two!
And as long as Liu Biao has the intention to take back Nanyang, he can cooperate with Cao Cao. As long as Liu Biao cooperates with Cao Cao, Su Yunqing's side will immediately become unstable.
Cao Cao knew it. According to the news from Mao Jie, Sizhou and Yongzhou took up too many resources in Su Yunqing's hands. In addition, she had to guard against stabbing knives in the back by foreigners on the border, such as Xianbei people, Qiang people, even Liangzhou people. It is possible for Zhou to give her a knife, so Su Yunqing looks powerful, but in fact the power he can mobilize is limited.
This time Su Yunqing sent out a large army to fight Cao Cao. In fact, her troops were already very tight. It is said that in order to fight Cao Cao, Su Yunqing mobilized a lot of troops. Of course, those in other places are not easy to move, but those stationed in Nanyang can. move.
After all, everyone knows that Liu Biao is incompetent, and Su Yunqing doesn't take Liu Biao seriously. Su Yunqing's contempt for Liu Biao makes Su Yunqing's power in Nanyang empty, and she puts most of her strength and attention on Cao Cao.
Cao Cao thinks that if Liu Biao can cooperate with him to launch an offensive against Nanyang at this time, then there is a great possibility that Liu Biao can take Jingzhou back.
Of course, Cao Cao also knew that such a good piece of meat from Nanyang had already been placed in Su Yunqing's bowl. If Liu Biao took it back, Su Yunqing would definitely fry it.
Su Yunqing and Liu Biao are torn apart, so his life will be easier.
Besides, besides Liu Biao, he also contacted Ma Teng of Liangzhou and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong.
Su Yunqing's side and back are all his natural allies.
