There don't seem to be many major events in the eleventh year of Han Zhu, and Cao Cao's demise is also expected by many people, after all, the entire Central Plains was finally beaten only one Qingzhou, in fact, Cao Cao was able to support nearly two years before it was breached, it is already very surprising, after all, Qingzhou is said to be mountainous, but there are not too many natural dangers to defend, and there are no passes like Tiger Prison, Yique, and Hangu.

Xiahou Yuan fought over the mountains, and the record of the surprise attack on Zhang He broke the myth of Chen Mo's invincibility, although it was not Chen Mo's command, but it still encouraged many people, Chen Mo was not really exhausted, invincible, he would also make mistakes and be defeated, but Cao Cao's death still made many people regret.

But no matter what, the Central Plains is unified, Chen Mo has become the overlord of the north in the true sense, holding the land of Kyushu, looking at the world, such as today, the princes who can still compete with Chen Mo are only Liu Bei of Jingzhou, Sun Ce of Jiangdong and Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, but the three of them are just taking advantage of the geographical advantage to survive, and Chen Mo's domination of the world has appeared.

In the first month of the twelfth year of the Han Dynasty, Chen Mo, who had been away from home for several years, finally stabilized Qingzhou, and after Xu Shu led the Qingzhou Assassin History, the class returned to the dynasty, and this time the conquest of Cao Cao began to fight from the eighth year of the Han Dynasty to the present, and it took three years for the war in the Central Plains to stop.

Jiangdong, Moling.

"It's a pity." Sun Quan sent away Cao Xiu and others who came to ask for orders to go north, Cao Cao was quite good at winning people's hearts, but this death made these Cao generals who were received to Jiangdong in advance indignant, but Sun Quan knew that the best opportunity for the Northern Expedition had been missed at this time, and it would be no problem if he could integrate Jiangdong half a year in advance and cooperate with Cao Cao to catch Chen Mo off guard.

It's a pity that there is no if in this world, Sun Quan's concept of governing Jiangdong is different from that of his brother Sun Ce, when Sun Ce was alive, he suppressed the Jiangdong Shi clan a lot, he has this ability and qualification, but the price is that the Jiangdong gentry and Sun Ce have never been of the same mind, and the assassin who assassinated Sun Ce was so easy to ambush and succeed, and it has something to do with this, and even the family is involved, at least to help hide his whereabouts and provide information.

Sun Quan does not have Sun Ce's prestige, he wants to sit firmly in Jiangdong, and these scholars cannot be suppressed in Sun Ce's way, he chooses to use the Huairou way, ready to completely pull the Jiangdong scholars on his warship and let them use them for their own use.

Right or wrong is unknown, Sun Ce did this because he didn't want his Northern Expedition to be constrained too much, and Sun Quan chose to woo and appease in order to ensure the stability of Jiangdong, in fact, Jiangdong was also completely stabilized, and there were also many talents who were willing to serve Sun Quan and contribute to him.

For Cao Cao's death, Sun Quan can only express regret, but now the Northern Expedition, Sun Quan is not ready, Zhou Yu, Lu Su do not recommend the immediate Northern Expedition, Cao Cao is dead, representing Cao Cao's brand in the Central Plains has completely disappeared, even if those generals loyal to Cao Cao are still resisting, but these people to be honest, can not set off any storms, for Sun Quan, although he lost the opportunity of the Northern Expedition, but it is not all bad, Cao's henchmen and generals, now can only follow Sun Quan, the ability of these people is still undoubted.

For example, Cao Xiu, such as Cao Ang, who is both civil and military, although it is impossible to be arranged in the army now, he will be Sun Quan's power to balance veterans like Zhou Yu in the future.

"Lord, now that Cao Cao is dead, Chen Mo has won the Central Plains after this battle, but the consumption is quite large, I am afraid it will take a few years to recover, the minister thinks that at this time, we can seek Xichuan first." Lu Su poured a cup of wine for Sun Quan and said with a smile.

"What Zi Jing said is indeed reasonable, but there is a gap between Liu Bei, Zi Jing really thinks that Liu Bei will let me and others seek Xichuan?" Sun Quan nodded, and then said with some distress.

Although Liu Bei now only occupies the land of three counties, but a southern county, it is worth several counties of Sun Quan, the land of Jiangdong is vast and sparsely populated, from east to west, on both sides of the Yangtze River, if you say the most populous, I am afraid it belongs to the southern county, Jiangxia has been fighting for many years, the population has withered, Changsha, Guiyang and even the entire Jingnan are regarded as semi-savage places, and Liu Bei sent all the population from Nanyang to Wuling and Lingling, which made the population of the two counties surge, Chen Mo beat Cao Cao for two years, has been developing the two counties, encouraging fertility, and now if you count the population, Liu Bei is not much less than Sun Quan.

If Sun Quan is allowed to get Xichuan, Liu Bei will be sandwiched between Chen Mo and Sun Quan, and become a pioneer for Sun Quan to resist Chen Mo, there is no room for development, will Liu Bei be willing?

If Liu Bei refused, even if Sun Quan sent troops to Xichuan, Liu Bei would cut off the back road in the Yong'an area, and Sun Quan would have no other way than to withdraw his troops.

Lu Su nodded, this is indeed a difficult place, if you want to get Xichuan, Liu Bei is a hurdle that can't be overcome, and Liu Bei is not a fool, he will let Jiangdong take Xichuan.

"My lord." Lu Su looked at Sun Quan and suddenly said: "In order to form an alliance with Liu Bei, the ancestor took the initiative to cede the two counties of Wuling and Lingling to Liu Bei, but at that time he did not say whether it was a gift or a loan, so it was better to send an envoy to ask for the two counties." ”

Sun Quan's eyes lit up when he heard this, if Wuling and Lingling were in hand, then there was no need to be afraid of Liu Bei cutting off their retreat, but then, Sun Quan smiled helplessly: "How easy is it?" Liu Bei Anken let go? ”

At the beginning, Sun Ce ceded the second county to Liu Bei, but he didn't say whether he was giving or borrowing, and he did have the intention of asking for it back in the future, but now that Sun Ce is gone, this has become a confused account, no matter who says anything, it is reasonable, but if he really took the second county, not to mention that Liu Bei took hundreds of thousands of people to supplement the second county, and worked hard to run the second county in the past two years, just talking about the territory, all of a sudden Liu Bei only had one county left, how could Liu Bei be willing?

"Naturally not, but the lord can take this opportunity to go to Xichuan by the way." Lu Su said with a smile.

"Let's talk about it again." Sun Quan hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head, there are many issues involved, not only the question of whether Liu Bei borrows or not, even if he is willing, who will fight Xichuan?

You know, even if Xichuan is defeated, for Jiangdong, there is Liu Bei in the middle, then Xichuan is an enclave, after the commander of the expedition to the west entered Sichuan, he used the power of Jiangdong to capture Xichuan, but suddenly had other thoughts? Not to mention Zhou Yu, even if he asked his brother Sun Yi to fight, Sun Quan was not at ease, worried that the other party would stand on his own after the fight.

Sun Quan felt that the matter of fighting Xichuan, at least for now, was a bit thankless, unless he could defeat Jingzhou, but not to mention that Liu Bei had become the climate, even if he didn't, he couldn't stop the defection, voted for Chen Mo, and united Chen Mo to deal with Jiangdong, so what should I do?

There are too many uncertainties in this matter.

When Lu Su heard this, he had to nod helplessly, got up and left.

"Zijing!" Just out of Wuhou Mansion, Lu Su was about to get into the car, but was stopped by someone, and when he looked back, he saw Zhou Yu walking towards this side.

"Gong Jin? When did you come back? Lu Su was a little surprised, Zhou Yu had been training new troops in Danyang since he returned from Qingzhou.

"I just came back, and I was looking for my lord." Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Have you ever told the lord about the Western Expedition?" ”

"Yes." Lu Su nodded helplessly and said: "The lord of this matter is quite worried, if Gong Jin comes for this matter, don't mention it again for the time being." ”

mentioned too much, but it will make Sun Quan suspicious of Zhou Yu, Lu Su can see it during this time, Sun Quan is different from Sun Ce, Sun Ce can trust Zhou Yu and trust Lu Su without reservation, but Sun Quan can't do it, maybe it is also related to the way Sun Quan got the throne, the suspicion is very heavy, more like a king, but also more ruthless.

Zhou Yu frowned slightly when he heard this, he had been planning for a long time to conquer the west, this is the only way out for Jiangdong, if he is going to the north now, there is no chance of winning, just a veteran Han Qiong, it will be difficult for Jiangdong Erlang to get out of Hefei, in the next few years, Chen Mo will only get stronger and stronger, it is difficult to win the northern expedition, and it is just a matter of killing, and now there is only Xichuan left, if you can get the manpower and material resources of Xichuan and a state, Jiangdong will at least have the capital to resist Chen Mo.

"Don't say this, the lord will feast on the Cao family tonight, Gong Jin might as well go with me, this Cao family, there are indeed many outstanding people, if it can be used by the lord, it is really a great benefit for me Jiangdong." Lu Su saw that Zhou Yu's face was not good-looking, and persuaded him.

Zhou Yu sighed, nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

……

A few days later, Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

If you want to say that Cao Cao was destroyed, the biggest fluctuation in my heart may belong to Liu Bei, you know, it was Cao Cao who drove Liu Bei out of the Central Plains back then, it stands to reason that it was a mortal enemy, but when he heard the news of Cao Cao's defeat, Liu Bei was silent.

At the beginning, Cao Jun brought a lot of pressure to Liu Bei, he had seen the elite and fierceness of Cao Jun, but just like this, Cao Jun was finally defeated in the hands of Chen Mo, so how strong is Chen Mo?

Thinking about Chen Mo now being in Kyushu, and most of the world has fallen under Chen Mo's control, when he thinks of this, Liu Bei feels sad for a while.

He has a similar background as Chen Mo, and is even higher than Chen Mo, but after so many years, there was only one Chen Mo in Hedong at that time, who was already in power, and he had been running around for half his life, but he only had half of Jingzhou to gain a foothold, and now Liu Bei is over half a hundred years old, every time he thinks of the gap between him and Chen Mo, he can't help but feel depressed, sighing all day long, making Guan Yu and Zhang Fei a little baffled.

"Brother, what are you afraid of him doing? Now we are different from two years ago, Jingzhou soldiers are well-fed, why be afraid of him? Zhang Fei followed Zhuge Liang and Chen Gong to do things this day, and when he saw Liu Bei alone there with a long sigh, he couldn't help but say.

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei, smiled, looked at Zhuge Liang and Chen Gong and said, "The two military advisors are here, but there is something important?" ”

"Lord, Lu Su is here." Chen Gong said with a smile.

"Zijing? Why are you here at this time? Liu Bei was a little surprised.

"At that time, I came for the two counties of Wuling and Lingling."

Liu Bei's face suddenly sank when he heard this, and Zhang Fei on the side was even more furious......
