Not going?

That's urging the cow to beep the calf! A few minutes later, as if he was carrying a bag for the leader, Wang Hou still appeared in the hall of a rich man's house that was not completely damaged and collapsed, in the command post temporarily requisitioned by President Cao.

To say that the leader is not good, when the army outside was eating wine and drinking meat, Cao Cao was still looking at the map and his brows were locked.

When Wang Hou arrived, Xiahou Yuan had already arrived.

"Father! You're looking for a son-in-law! ”

Completely unable to see the arrogant appearance just now, with a deferential strength, Wang Hou respectfully clenched his fists and bowed, and finally caused Cao Cao to raise his head from the cowhide marching map.

Lao Cao never talked nonsense, and pointed to the map and asked directly to the two generals.

"What do you two think of the form of Guanzhong now?"

"The Prime Minister's army is unstoppable! The thieves in Guanzhong have been completely damaged, and the remnants of Liangzhou are not worth mentioning! ”

At the mention of this, Xiahou Yuan replied in a loud voice with great confidence, but after glancing at the map, Wang Hou frowned slightly, and asked in amazement.

"Father, but Jiangnan has made waves again?"

Cao Cao saw that it was not a map of Yongliang, and the map of Yangzhou, after the Battle of Chibi the year before last, Sun Wu's strength in Jiangnan expanded extremely quickly, and he gained the population of Jingzhou, and more importantly, from the early to the late Three Kingdoms, the conflict between Cao Wei and Eastern Wu, in addition to the famous Guan Yu Northern Expedition flooded the Seventh Army Megatron, the remaining Wang Hou really didn't remember much, and the unknown brought fear, God knows if it was because of his arrival that Dongwu also mutated, Wang Hou asked with great fear.

"Oh, without it, the Sun family had some small victories more than a year ago, and they actually rejoiced, building four water villages in the mouth of the water, wanting to try to make me Yanxu Central Plains, and the old man wants to go south to meet this blue-eyed child for a while!"

What Mr. Cao said is still so consistently domineering! It turned out that it was not Sun Quan who took the initiative to go on the Northern Expedition, but it was just that Cao Cao was afraid enough, indicating that Sun Quan's preparations in the mouth of the water this time had indeed formed a considerable threat.

But it is no wonder that the Battle of Chibi rewrote the direction of the whole world, Liu Biao's power was eaten away, and the biggest beneficiary of the war was Sun Wu, and Wu also became strong after this war by gathering the huge population and elite talents of Northern Jingzhou.

However, the development of Jingzhou direction, Sun Quan has reached a limit, to the north, after the defeat of Jiangling, Xiangfan became Cao Wei's last stronghold in the south of the Yangtze River, but this place is garrisoned by Cao Ren's 30,000 main force of the Northern Army, protecting Yingchuan Xudu, is not a good bone to gnaw, in history, the Song army relied on the twin cities across the Yangtze River to resist the Mongol army for 14 years of attack, it can be seen that this place is difficult.

The middle road can't be broken through, and Sun Quan is not a mediocre master, so he naturally wants to explore other channels, so he is eyeing the Yangzhou Xuzhou generation, that is, the two Huai of later generations! On the one hand, this vicinity is not far from Jiankang, the capital of his country, and taking the initiative to attack here is to attack instead of defending, and on the other hand, Cao Jun actually has not many troops guarding here! In Hefei City, the passage road to the north, there are thousands of people guarding Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Le Jin and others.

Don't think that occupying the entire north, the population has seventy percent of China, Cao Cao really has a wide range of soldiers, the north is the core of the Central Plains civilization, but it is also the most stubborn part of the remnants of the Eastern Han family, look at Wang Hou when he inspected Tian Fu in Yanzhou, just one Wuyang Han family mobilized one or two hundred thousand Zhuang Ding to besiege him, how serious the situation of these family hermits is, it can be seen.

The main thing that supported the Cao Wei regime was these Kwantung families, when Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu gave up Chang'an and moved the capital to Luoyang under the pressure of these supporters, Cao Cao could not really touch the bottom line of the wealthy family, and even in the past two years, Cao Zong's consistent suppression policy has also become co-opted because of the political desire of the Han Dynasty.

The wealthy family hid a considerable part of the resources and population of the north, which naturally weakened Cao Han's strength. Guangxi

Now the total strength of the entire Cao Han is only 400,000, but excluding the county and national defense troops that are difficult to mobilize in various counties and cities, the rest is more than 200,000, Cao Ren has 30,000 troops on the Yangtze River defense line, and pacified the rebellion of Shangyao in the state, Xiahou Yuan Xu Huang divided the troops into 30,000, and Cao Cao carried 70,000 troops in the expedition to Guanzhong, 30,000 necessary defense troops left in Yecheng, 20,000 defense troops in Xudu, 200,000 soldiers have consumed 170,000 soldiers, Yanxu Qingyou several states, Cao Cao's defense and deterrence troops are even only a few thousand people in each state! The area around Yangzhou has naturally become a breakthrough in the defense of emptiness.

So there is no time to continue to exterminate the remnants of Ma Chao and Han Sui, and he is eager to turn around and deal with the threat from Sun Quan, Mr. Cao really wants the class to return to the dynasty!

Now that the Cao army has just entered Guanzhong, it is just a massacre of the troops of the warlords in Guanzhong, and the rule of the counties and counties has not yet been established, Cao Zong is leaving, and the number of soldiers and horses left behind is unknown, even if Ma Chao and Han are defeated, they still have at least more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, and the Ma family and the Han family have been operating in Xiqiang for many years, and the power is deep, and in a blink of an eye, I don't know that I can mix tens of thousands of soldiers to come out, and it is an extremely difficult task to hold Guanzhong!

However, Cao Cao didn't seem to be counting on him, and his eyes fell on Wang Hou, the unlucky son-in-law.

"Tuqiu, what do you think of the situation in Guanzhong?"

"Difficult!"

Wang Hou also simply spread his hands.

"It's easy to stay in the pass, just guard the four passes, but if you don't guard Liangzhou in the pass, it's just waiting for death in the grave, Ma Chaohan is strong in Liangzhou, and Qiang Di is willing to serve it! There are many barbarian warriors! And the most dangerous enemy is not yet them, but the Southwest! ”

"Last year, the prime minister wanted to attack Hanzhong, and Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou, was afraid, and he had invited Liu Bei from Jingzhou to enter Sichuan to jointly resist the prime minister! If he doesn't go out to ask for urine, Liu Bei will inevitably turn his face and replace him! At that time, Liu Bei has Jingchuan, and the next goal will definitely be to go north to Guanzhong and seize Yongliang, at that time, Liu Bei and Ma Chao and Han Sui and others will collude with each other, attack on both sides, and stick to the place in Guanzhong, it is too difficult! ”

"Can Liu Bei really meet Liu Zhang?"

It's rare! For the first time, Wang Hou's strategic vision walked in front of Cao Cao, and even Cao Cao couldn't help but shout out of his judgment.

I have to admit that the best image management in this era is really Liu Bei, he entered Xuzhou, Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to him, he entered Jingzhou, although Liu Biao guarded him, but Jingzhou gate lords and celebrities have mingled with him, and later the main political force of Shu is the Jingzhou faction, such as Ma Liang Ma Jian and others, but also because of Liu Bei's "glorious image", comparable to Liu Bang's loyal elder brand, Sun Wu did not dare to swallow Jingzhou in one go.

He turned his face and didn't recognize anyone to attack Liu Zhang, who was a member of the Han family, to be honest, Cao Cao couldn't believe it for a while!

However, Wang Hou persuaded him with only one sentence.

"Liu Bei has great ambitions!"

In one sentence, Cao Cao also understood, in the face of the world's great ambitions, any benevolence, righteousness and morality are empty!

Pinching his chin, Cao Cao really seriously reconsidered the layout of the southwest defense, but just when Wang Hou was complacent about "surpassing" President Cao for his strategic vision and being able to "see" Liu Bei's personality better than Cao Cao, Cao Cao's sudden words almost made Wang Hou's jaw fall in shock.

"Tuqiu, I want to worship you as the great platform in Guanzhong! Governor Yongliang two states! ”

"What???"
