Chapter 99 Stalemate(2/3)

After Lu Su, who was still stationed at Lukou, learned the news.

Immediately order the scouts to go east and report back.

Stone Town.

Wuhou Mansion.

"Oh? Are you saying that Jingzhou County and Cao Jun are at loggerheads again?"

"Reporting to the Marquis of Wu, that's exactly what it is!"

"However, according to the analysis of Governor Lu, the reason why Cao Ren's troops stationed in Fancheng have been holding back their troops for so long may be because they are looking for a good opportunity to attack the three eastern counties."

"The governor asked the villain to tell you, Marquis Wu, that you must wait for the opportunity. After Cao Jun's attention is drawn to Jingzhou, it will be a good opportunity for Marquis Wu to lead a large-scale northern expedition to Hefei and conquer the Jianghuai River."

"Wanghou Wu must seize the opportunity to fight."

The scout recounted Lu Su's original words truthfully.

Wait until a battle report is heard.

Sun Quan also had an idea in his mind.

Then, he waved his hand to drive away the scouts.

Wait until the study is empty.

Sun Quan just couldn't control his heart.

A little lonely, even helpless...

Even the figure with his back to the mansion seemed a little depressed.

"Oh, I didn't expect that in the end, my only option was to conquer Hefei through the Northern Expedition."

A heavy sigh.

It can be said that it expresses the unwillingness and deep pain in Sun Quan's heart.

Deep down in his heart, he also had great ambitions.

He wanted to expand his territory and develop the Sun family's foundation.

Even the ambition to dominate the Central Plains.

But he didn't expect it at all.

The strategy of conquering Jingzhou that I painstakingly planned.

But in the end it can only end in failure!

Losing troops and generals in vain.

Even his trusted general Pan Zhang was killed in battle.

General Jiang Qin is still detained in the enemy camp.

Our side is still negotiating the terms for the rescue.

When I think of this incident.

At this moment, Sun Quan was also in an emotional state.

He is not willing to give in!

But the reality is that the Jingzhou Army is now heavily guarded, and it is indeed not a good time to launch another expedition.

I don’t want to be so reluctant anymore.

He had no choice but to repeat Nalusu's strategy.

Continue to use Lu Su to safeguard the Sun-Liu alliance.

He continued to look for opportunities to make the northern expedition and capture Hefei.

As news of the war in Jingzhou came.

He had vaguely seen the fighter plane.

In the following days.

Sun Quan began to quietly gather his troops.

Prepare to cross the river and march to Jiangbei again.

In addition to the fact that Hanzhong is now devastated and wars occur frequently.

The situation in other places is also evolving with the war situation in Jingzhou.

Many days later.

Xudu.

Cao Pi, who lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion and is in charge of state affairs, has also received a handwritten letter from Cao Ren.

After he slowly read the contents of the letter.

He immediately went to invite Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao, Sima Yi and other advisers.

These were also the capable men that Cao Cao left behind before he went on an expedition.

Even though the terrain of Hanzhong is extremely important.

But the peace of the rear is still the top priority.

Cao Cao also knew this very well.

Therefore, these people are also part of the team currently helping Cao Pi settle down.

After a while and a half.

Everyone arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion one after another.

"I will see you, Sir."

"Excuse me, gentlemen!"

"You and others are important ministers under my father's command and have been ordered to assist me."

"But I'm just an ordinary person, so I really don't deserve such a great gift from you!"

The conversation ended after a while.

Cao Pi said with humility on his face.

This move immediately made all the ministers have a favorable impression of him.

"Young Master is so approachable and approachable. If he becomes the crown prince, he will surely inherit the prime minister's mantle."

Cheng Yu, an old man with gray hair on his temples, looked at Cao Pi's magnanimity, and a smile appeared on his face inadvertently.

On the other side, the same is true for Dong Zhao.

As for Sima Yi, although he did not declare his position under Cao Pi.

But their personal relationship has always been very good!

Secretly, he also provided many good suggestions for Cao Pi.

"I wonder if the young master summoned us today to see if something else happened?"

In one word.

Cheng Yu had a resolute look on his face, and he solemnly raised his hands and asked.

Following Cheng Yu’s question.

Immediately, Cao Pi truthfully informed everyone about the current war situation in Jingzhou that Cao Pi had reported.

Wait for everyone to listen.

"According to Uncle Zixiao's letter, the Jingzhou Army is constantly invading our border in order to prevent my uncle from being able to invade the three eastern counties."

"Do you have any solution to this problem?"

A lot of words came to an end.

All the ministers thought deeply for a long time.

After half a ring.

Sima Yi was dressed in a green shirt, with a thin complexion and handsome appearance, but his eyes were as shrewd as a fox and had the demeanor of an eagle.

He walked forward carefully, with a smile on his face, and said softly: "Sir, according to what General Cao said, Na Yi concluded that the Jingzhou Army's harassment was just a delaying tactic!"

"The purpose is to prevent General Cao from taking the opportunity to invade Dongsan County."

"What's more, the Jingzhou Army had just fought a battle with Jiangdong, and its strength has not yet recovered. According to Guan Yu's temperament, he will not launch a large-scale war so quickly."

"The situation in Jingzhou will only be what it seems on the surface, with loud thunder and light rain, nothing to worry about!"

"Master, don't worry too much!"

"The three eastern counties have now fallen into the hands of Liu Bei. Once his army marches westward along the Han River to Hanzhong, it will inevitably bring instability to the main force of my father's army."
