Chapter 573 Triumph and Three (2)

After Lu Xun defeated Liu Bei's army, he quickly recovered the lost territory in Jingzhou.

Originally, he wanted to occupy the Wuxia natural dangerous Kui Pass, but because Zhuge Liang had already made preparations in advance, Lu Xun decisively retreated.

Although Liu Bei was defeated, Lu Xun did not dare to take it lightly, so he asked Zhu Ran to return to defend Jiangling quickly and personally guard Yidu.

Although Xu Sheng and many other generals advocated taking advantage of the victory, Lu Xun and Zhu Ran were not very relieved about Cao Pi and insisted on returning to defense quickly. Sun Quan was not at ease and adopted the suggestions of the two.

Soon, Sun Quan stationed heavy troops on the northern defense line, making Cao Pi's plan to attack sneakily impossible.

The three armies that Cao Pi had arranged could not return without success. He could not attack him in a sneak attack. Of course, Cao Pi would not break his promise first and destroy his reputation. He could only look for Sun Quan's mistakes and turn his back on the spot.

He made a plan of his wishes and would push the mistake to Sun Quan no matter what, so he secretly called his confidant Sima Yi to discuss countermeasures.

Sima Yi believed that when Cao Pi enthroned Sun Quan as King of Wu, he asked Sun Quan to send his descendants to Xuchang as his host.

Sun Quan surrendered to Cao Pi because of Liu Bei's threat and did not sincerely submit.

At that time, Sun Quan accepted the title of Cao Pi and King Wu, so he naturally compromised, saying that his son Sun Deng was still young and had never married, and the father and son were reluctant to leave his relationship. Once he left his hometown, he would not adapt to the local environment, and so on, he asked for a delay in his trip to Xuchang.

At that time, although Cao Pi knew that Sun Quan was a refusal, he also wanted Sun Quan to fight Liu Bei to the death. He was afraid that Sun Quan would force him too much, so he asked him to return it to Jingzhou and Liu Bei to reconcile.

Cao Pi did not have an attack at that time, nor did he press the incident, just to find an excuse for future attacks.

Sima Yi suggested that Cao Pi re-introduce the old story and ordered Sun Quan to send his descendants to Xuchang.

Cao Pi was right after that and soon sent someone to Jiangdong and asked Sun Deng to get the qualifying immediately.

As expected, Sun Quan refused again, and Sun Quan spoke very tough.

Before Liu Bei was defeated? Sun Quan was afraid of being attacked on both sides and benefited from his actions of surrendering to Cao Pi.

Because he could not obtain Liu Bei's understanding? Sun Quan was not sure that he could stop Liu Bei's attack. He hoped to help him when he could not resist.

This kind of strategic alliance, ordinary generals, has no say.

Because of the great defeat in the Battle of Red Cliff? Hundreds of thousands of troops disappeared? Many generals of the Wei State lost their troops in the Battle of Red Cliff? They formed a considerable hatred with Jiangdong.

Including Cao Ren, he was besieged by Zhou Yu for nearly a year? I was so embarrassed that I was so cowardly.

Therefore, they all wanted to take revenge and never thought of compromise. They didn't even think about compromising? They disagreed with Cao Pi's acceptance of Sun Quan's surrender? Instead, they were full of expectations for attacking Jiangdong.

And when Sun Quan was in a critical moment, he had to surrender to Cao Pi? But most of his generals were very resistant.

If Sun Quan was really defeated, he had to choose his lord again? Many people would rather surrender to Liu Bei, who is known for his benevolence and righteousness.

Especially fourteen years ago? Those heroes of the Battle of Red Cliffs have been worried about making the fake come true? Jiangdong was swallowed up by Cao Pi, and then? The old grudges of the Red Cliffs must be liquidated.

Cao Pi's vindictive character made the Jiangdong generals sweat in their hearts!

Cao Pi had a criminal record. When Zhang Xiu defeated Cao Cao in Wancheng and made a grudge? Later, Zhang Xiu took the initiative to join Cao Cao on the eve of the Battle of Guandu and was valued temporarily.

And now the Zhang family no longer exists? The rumor is Cao Pi's work.

Sun Quan was named King of Wu by Wei, and Wu was therefore regarded as a vassal of Wei. Sun Quan's general always felt inferior when he fought against Liu Bei and Cao Pi's army, and felt very uncomfortable about it.

Now that Sun Quan defeated Liu Bei, his momentum was greatly boosted.

Most generals in Sun Quan's army believed that the alliance with the Wei Kingdom was no longer a helping of the Wu Kingdom, but rather a shackle.

Even Sun Quan believed that the alliance with Wei was no longer necessary, and his intention to turn against each other was more urgent than Cao Pi.

Sun Quan felt that the alliance should be ended early in order to create conditions for himself to become emperor.

Therefore, Sun Quan did not hesitate to reject Cao Pi's request for the proton.

Cao Pi and Sun Quan were tacitly aware that there was no room for ease between Wei and Wu, and there was only one battle.

What Cao Pi wanted was that his army was famous. After Sun Quan refused to send the proton, he immediately ordered three armies to attack at the same time.

Cao Pi summarized his experience from Sun and Liu's war in Jingzhou, believing that as long as he crossed the Yangtze River and relied on the advantages of the cavalry, he would be confident of regaining the entire Jiangdong.

Cao Pi's three armies were his revenge battle for his father Cao Cao. It can be said that all the famous generals were born and he was bound to win!

The main general of the middle lane was Cao Ren, the great sage of the Cao family, who had the highest position. He was the first in the army in the Wei State at that time. He led military advisors Jiang Ji, generals Chang Diao, Wang Shuang and others.

The main general of the east route was Cao Xiu, the general of the East who was called the Qiliner of the Cao family. His troops were out of the cave entrance and under his command were two famous generals, Zhang Liao and Zang Ba.

The West Road is filled with famous generals, not only Cao Zhen, the second generation of the Cao family's strongest general, but also Zhang He, Xu Huang and other long-time generals, as well as Xiahou Shang, the proud son of the Xiahou family.

The war between Wei and Wu began. After Sun Quan wrote a symbolic letter of peace to Cao Pi. After being rejected, he launched a counterattack with confidence.

In the middle, Zhu Huan, Luo Tong and others guarded Ruxukou and dealt with Cao Ren; in the east, Lu Fan was the main general, leading Xu Sheng, Quan Cong, Sun Shao and others to resist Cao Xiu, and at the same time, He Qi supported him in the rear. In addition to Zhu Ran defending Jiangling on the west, Zhuge Jin, Pan Zhang and others also returned to Jiangling from the Yiling front line.

Sun Quan stationed his troops in Wuchang to support him.

From the deployment of troops and the ability of the generals on both sides, Cao Pi obviously had the absolute advantage.

Although Sun Quan defeated Liu Bei, after Liu Bei retreated to Baidi City, there was no sign of returning to Chengdu. Instead, he was stationed in Baidi City, which was obviously unwilling to fail.

Sun Quan had to guard against the fact that the Grand Governor Lu Xun had been stationed in Yidu to guard against Liu Bei.

...

...

Cao Pi was able to defeat Cao Zhi and succeed to the throne successfully, which was outstanding!

When he was eight years old, he was able to write literature and extensively spread the books of various schools of thought through ancient and modern classics.

In military terms, it is also considered a battle-hardened battle.

At the age of ten, he followed his father to fight against Wancheng and formed a feud with Zhang Xiu. He then joined Liu Biao and Sun Quan to participate in the Battle of Chibi.

Cao Pi also followed Cao Cao's battle to attack Ruxuwu.

Therefore, Cao Pi was quite arrogant about his military talents.

At that time, Liu Bei adopted the method of joining the camp, and Cao Pi foresaw that Liu Bei would lose and was ready to attack Sun Quan unexpectedly.

Cao Pi is very much looking forward to this long-planned three-way attack. He believes that it is a foregone conclusion to fight the Yangtze River.

In order to enjoy the victory, Cao Pi wanted to cross the Yangtze River as soon as possible and jump to the east of the Yangtze River.
