Chapter 357 Sun Quan deploys troops
"Pa~" Wancheng, Cao Cao pressed the bamboo slips on the table, with a little force, which made the hearts of the civil and military officials under the tent jump.
"It's just at this time!" Cao Cao closed his eyes and sighed. The situation is a bit tricky. Sun Quan's attitude on Sun Liu's side was a bit weird. Liu Bei personally took charge of Xiangyang and had the intention to go north. Cao Cao is now trying to control the situation and wants to win Sun Quan over to the chariot here. This situation has already been arranged since the time when Sun Quan was appointed King of Wu.
But Liu Bei is now rebelling against the generals and does not proclaim himself king. Instead, he comes to engage in diplomacy with Sun Quan. He threatens and tempts Sun Quan to push him to the throne. Sun Quan is obviously also concerned about the truth that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. Now he is quite moved.
At this time, if there were no problems in the rear, Cao Cao could still control the situation. But now, the information from Xuchang direction made Cao Cao feel urged to cut down people. These people were unable to do things, but they were quite capable of dragging their backs. How many times has this been? Cao Cao was too lazy to count.
But at this important node, these people have come out to cause trouble again. Could it be that they are willing to do so if the world is in a time when the princes are in war again?
Although I had expected that my whereabouts would not be hidden for too long, these people came out to make trouble, which still made Cao Cao very angry.
Moreover, this problem is quite tricky. At present, the general Xiahou Dun of Cao Cao was guarding Chang'an, guarding Liu Bei from Shu to attack Guanzhong, Zhang He followed Cao Zhang to guard Yecheng, and Zhang Liao was in the Jianghuai area. The remaining generals Cao Ren, Cao Xiu, Xu Huang, and Li Dian are now in Nanyang to command the three armies. At this time, Xuchang was actually not in fact because of the capital moving, and there were no generals. At this time, the other party came out to cause trouble, and Cao Cao could not transfer people to deal with it for a while.
As for going back... I'm afraid I can't get through in time.
"Why are you shocked and angry at the king?" Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao in confusion.
Cao Cao waved his hand and signaled the waiter to hand over the bamboo slips to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu took the bamboo slip and looked at him, his face became solemn. He looked up at Cao Cao and said, "King, this news..."
"The school office came from." Cao Cao did not explain, but said simply, and Cheng Yu was speechless immediately.
The School Office is an institution under Cao Cao's command to supervise all officials. It has helped Cao Cao kill many rebellions. Although it is notorious in the Cao Wei camp, as a close minister of Cao Cao, Cheng Yu knew very well that the School Office could not have any negligence in this matter. The School Office team was built by Guo Jia.
"There is no major problem for General Bo Ren in Xuchang." Cheng Yu did not circulate the bamboo slips, but handed the bamboo slips back to the attendant, looking at Cao Cao and said, "But this matter has a great impact. I don't know how many people in the court participated in it, and I am worried that these people would contact Liu Bei and Sun Quan from Jiangdong."
This is the problem Cheng Yu was most worried about. Geng Ji and others were really not a problem, but they were very good at choosing the opportunity. This was the time to move the capital, and Cao Cao was not in the rear. Xuchang had a change. Regardless of whether Cao Cao could be extinguished in time, it would be enough to affect Sun Quan's decision.
Cao Cao naturally understood this truth. After closing his eyes and thinking for a long time, he sighed: "How many soldiers are there in the Jianghuai area?"
Now, we can only prepare according to the worst plans.
My family knows his own affairs. If we talk about water battles, it is not an exaggeration to say that Jiangdong is invincible. However, it is a pain for Jiangdong to land on the siege battles. Since the Battle of Red Cliff, there have been few victories.
"Three..." Hua Xin thought for a while and looked at Sun Quan and said, "Cao Cao is the strongest right now, and Jingzhou is difficult to take over in a short time. If the lord wants to make a difference, Jianghuai must be in control and join forces with Liu to fight against Cao. If Liu Bei can obtain Nanyang and our army will be able to control Runan this time. Even if Cao Cao is determined to take it back, and Liu Bei is in Nanyang, it will never be possible to do all his strength."
Sun Quan nodded in his ears and looked at the generals. Hua Xin said it didn't work. In the end, these generals would have to rely on these generals to fight in the end.
No one in the tent spoke, mainly because the hatred between him and Liu Bei had already formed. At this moment, he wanted to return to the alliance with Liu and Cao, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
"The last general will approve the proposal!" Lu Meng took a deep breath, stepped forward, bowed to Sun Quan and said, "In this battle, the last general is willing to lead his army into Jianghuai."
Sun Quan looked at Lu Meng in surprise, then frowned slightly. Lu Meng had always been a firm Jingzhou faction and believed that Jingzhou must be seized first.
Now that Lu Meng suddenly changed his mind, does it mean that the last battle in Jingzhou has shattered Lu Meng's spirit?
"The governor is right. Liu Bei's power has been completed. You should not act too fast in Jingzhou." Lu Meng took a deep breath and bowed to Sun Quan and said, "At present, our Jiangdong power is at a disadvantage. We should not be enemies with Liu Bei for the time being. It is better to use Liu Bei's power to strengthen our Jiangdong first, and then compete with Liu Bei."
Liu Bei attracted the main force of Cao's army and consumed the vitality of Cao's army. Jiangdong took advantage of Liu Bei's cover. If he could capture Jianghuai this time, it would be no less meaning than taking Jingzhou. As long as he took Jianghuai, he would be able to covet Xuzhou. At that time, it would become a situation where Liu Bei attacked Cao Cao on both sides. With Liu Bei's restraint, Cao's army would not be able to fight against Dongwu with all his might. At that time, Sun Quan would also be the two states of the same country. At that time, the two families would attack Cao Cao.
This is also a solution. Compared with Jianghuai, Lu Meng still values Jingzhou more, but the relationship between the two countries can no longer deteriorate. Moreover, now attacking Jingzhou, thinking about Yueyang, Lu Meng really doesn’t have much confidence.
"Zi Ming can understand the righteousness and is very comforted." Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile to Lu Meng.
Now Sun Quan doesn't really want to be an enemy of Liu Bei.
Seeing that Lu Meng had said this, the generals all responded to sincerity.
"This attack on Jianghuai is related to my luck in Jiangdong. I am preparing to lead the army to the north personally." After setting the policy, Sun Quan was in a good mood. This time, he would lead the army to the north personally so that everyone in the world knew that Sun Quan was not just relying on his father and brother's foundation.
