Chapter [160] Anti-Lu Bu Alliance
Chapter [160] Anti-Lu Bu Alliance
The two military reports in a row made Cao Cao immediately lose his interest in hunting. He didn't even return to the mansion, but sat down on the spot and began to discuss the changes in the situation brought about by these two news with his subordinate civil servants.
"The world is in turmoil, and there are new changes every day." Cao Cao sighed, and then said: "Let's talk about the specific situation in Jingzhou first.
For Liu Bei and Sun Ce to attack Jingzhou, Cao Cao knew about it a long time ago.
The two sides were very close, and Cao Cao received the news immediately after the Sun and Liu coalition launched their troops.
Although Liu Biao was an ally, Cao Cao chose to stand on the sidelines, without any intention of supporting him.
At that time, there were two major alliances in the world, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao, Yuan Gongsun Zan, and Tao Qian formed an alliance.
Now the former is completely victorious, and the latter can be said to have been wiped out.
Now that the enemy has been eliminated, the original allies will automatically become enemies.
For Cao Cao, both Liu Biao and Yuan Shao are his potential enemies now.
Another point is that the Sun Liu coalition army sent troops in winter, and the risk of sending troops in the cold winter was very high. Cao Cao didn't want to intervene rashly, and he didn't want Cao Jun's soldiers to toss in winter.
In the Central Plains where the Fourth World War was fought, Cao Cao fought Yuan Shu before, and wanted the army to rest well.
Another point is that Liu Biao's strength is not weak.
But the result was beyond Cao Cao's expectations. Liu Biao only survived one winter, and was killed in the beginning of spring.
"Sun and Liu's coalition forces divided into two groups, and Liu Bei attacked from the north bank, attacking Jiangxia, Nanjun, Nanyang and other counties in Jingzhou.
"Sun Ce's army attacked from the Yangtze River and captured the four counties in southern Jing."
"Sun and Liu's allied forces advanced both land and water, and Jingzhou was defeated steadily. They lost sight of each other, and were finally completely wiped out.
On land, Liu Bei led Guan Zhang and Zhao's three fierce generals, and on the water, there were Sun Ce and his subordinates, and Zhou Yu's dispatch of the navy. It is no wonder that Liu Biao can withstand it.
"The Sun and Liu families divided Jingzhou equally, the south of Jing belonged to Sun Ce, and the north of Jing belonged to Liu Bei, and the two families of Sun and Liu depended on each other." Xun Yu interrupted: "My lord, the other party has already threatened us, and Liu Bei's power is all on the border with us. "
In the past, when Liu Bei was in Huainan, the upper reaches of the Huaihe River were used as a division between Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
But now that the area north of Jingzhou has been taken, Liu Bei's sphere of influence has greatly increased, and the Huai River is no longer enough to control the territory of Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
"Liu Bei, a man who weaves mats and sells shoes, is it possible that he dares to take the initiative to fight against me?" Cao Cao said indifferently.
Although Liu Bei's power has greatly increased, his territory is only half of Jingzhou, plus the territory of the two counties of Huainan.
"What's more, Liu Bei has just laid down these sites and needs to stabilize the operation. How dare he attack me again easily?" Cao Cao didn't think Liu Bei dared to come to trouble him.
"My lord, now that the north and south of the Yellow River are unified by us and Yuan Shao, there will definitely be a big battle between you and Yuan Shao to determine the ownership of the world." Xun Yu continued: "Imagine, when you start a war with Yuan Shao, if Yuan Shao instigates Liu Bei launched an attack on us from the rear, and the consequences are disastrous!"
Cao Cao's face changed when he heard the words, and his expression was solemn.
In this life, due to Lu Bu's reasons, Yuan Shao was weakened a bit, but his strength is still not weak, sitting on the land of three states.
Although Cao Cao is not afraid of the weakened version of Yuan Shao, he still needs to deal with it with all his strength.
If Liu Bei suddenly enters the game during the confrontation stage, it will undoubtedly be a big change in the battle situation.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then changed the subject and said, "Tell me about Lu Bu's situation."
Cao Cao knew in advance that Sun Liu's coalition forces went to attack Jingzhou.
As for Lu Bu's victory over Yizhou, Cao Cao knew nothing about it from beginning to end.
The northwest is remote, and the middle of Shu is closed. Lu Bu has the intention to block the news. As long as the pass is strictly guarded, the news will definitely not spread.
And in winter, there is no caravan to go to Chang'an to do business, so the news naturally has no circulation.
Now that the news came out, it was the official news from the court that the merchants entered Chang'an after the beginning of spring.
After all, for such a big thing as winning Yizhou, the imperial court must announce it to the world to reflect the majesty of the imperial court.
"There is not much news about Lu Bu. The imperial court declared that Liu Zhang was plotting rebellion. Lu Bu led his troops to quell the rebellion. He should have captured Shuzhong in winter, so he would return to the imperial court."
"Hey." Cao Cao said with a sneer: "If you take the emperor to order the princes, Lu Bu will put down the chaos no matter who he hits.
"My lord, let's not think about Lu Bu, but think about how to deal with Liu Bei." Xun Yu reminded.
"No." Cao Cao shook his head slowly, and said solemnly, "Don't you realize that Lu Bu has become a big deal."
At this time, a lazy voice sounded, saying: "Sitting in the middle of the pass, connecting Han, Ba, and Shu as granaries, you can go in and out of Qinguan in the east, and get involved in the Central Plains; you can stick to Weihan to resist the sky."
. "Down
"Lu Bu today is just like the Qin State in the past."
"If Lu Bu is left alone, Lu Bu will be able to accumulate strength in Guanzhong with peace of mind. Shuzhong will continue to provide food and grass, and Lu Bu will continue to expand his army and expand his army!"
"After three to five years later, Lu Bu sent his troops eastward. With Lu Bu's bravery and an army of hundreds of thousands, who in the Central Plains can stop him?"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was startled, and only then did they realize that Lu Bu, an idiot ignored by everyone, hid in a corner in the northwest and quietly developed, and now he is so awesome.
0…ask for flowers……………
"Feng Xiao got to the point."
The person who spoke just now was Guo Jia, who was originally under Yuan Shao, but unfortunately he could not be reused. Xun Yu just sent an invitation, and Guo Jia came to Cao Cao's side.
"A lesson from the past is a guide to the future." Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "Lu doesn't want to imitate the first emperor and sweep Liuhe, and then rule the world. This man has great ambitions!"
"Liu Bei is nothing to worry about. Now we should consider how to deal with the threat of Lu Bu." Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "There will be a battle between us and Yuan Shao, but no matter whether we win or lose, we will definitely have great conflicts with Yuan Shao." If it is damaged, Lu Bu will definitely take advantage of it."
"If the timing is right, maybe we can directly dominate the north!" Cao Cao looked serious, "At that time, only Liu Bei and Sun Ce will be left. Who in this world can stop Lu Bu?"
"My lord, according to this, how should we deal with it? How can we solve the disaster of Lu Bu?" Xun Yu frowned and said, "Lu Bu is in the pass. With Hangu Pass in place, it is difficult for us to go west.
"alliance!"
"alliance!"
Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked at each other, and it seemed that they wanted to be together.
"Feng Xiao, tell me." Cao Cao signaled Guo Jia to speak.
"Our scruples are also Yuan Shao's scruples, we just need to send people to Hebei to report our interests to Yuan Shao, and since Yuan Shao and Lu Bu had a feud before, Yuan Shao definitely doesn't mind forming an alliance with us, let's get rid of the enemy Lu Bu first. "
"There are also Liu Bei and Sun Ce, we can also unite with them."
"Liu Bei used to always claim to be the clan of the Han Dynasty, but now he is expelled by Lu Bu, and the two are also mortal enemies."
"As for Sun Ce, let alone, Sun Jian died at the hands of Lu Bu, and the hatred of killing his father is irreconcilable. Sun Ce will definitely agree to form an alliance and go to Guanzhong to seek revenge on Lu Bu.
"In today's world, apart from Gongsundu in Liaodong and Shixie in Jiaozhou, there are only five princes left."
"Yuan, Cao, Sun, Liu, the four alliances, together to attack Lu Bu, Lu Bu will inevitably hate."
After Guo Jia finished speaking, Cao Cao took up the conversation again, saying: "There will inevitably be casualties in a battle against Lu Bu.
"Liu Bei and Sun Ce in the south have just started. Although they have a certain territory, they haven't developed for a long time, and their troops are not many."
"As long as we lose a little in the process of attacking Lu Bu, the threat to us will definitely be further reduced."
"To kill two birds with one stone, we must not only eliminate Lu Bu, but also weaken Sun Liu. Let's take another chance to fight Yuan Shao!"
"Without the interference of the Sun and Liu families, as long as we can win Yuan Shao, no one in this world can compete with us!".
