"No, two months is too long, excluding the marching time on the road, the siege time cannot exceed one month. Otherwise, Cao Cao withdrew from the Eastern Front, and your troops would definitely be under siege! Huang Quan and Liu Yin, the two of you, will be able to use the members of the Jinyi Wei Hao Espionage Division into Xuchang from now on, and you must assist General Guan in capturing Xuchang as soon as possible. Huang Quan, you have to remember that after the city is broken, you only take two people first, and the rest will be handed over to General Huang! ”

"In addition, Pegasus Express ordered Yu Ban to take over Yizhou Beiying, and Wei Yan quickly led 20,000 horses to arrive in Xinye within two months! Ji Chang, you can set off for Jiangdong and inform Sun Quan that our army will definitely give strong support, and I want to send troops from Jiangxia to Hefei, I don't know if Jiangdong can give convenience......" Liu Cong's move was to confuse Sun Quan for a while, and at the same time to attract Cao Cao's attention. When the time comes, the commander of Jiangxia will bring thousands of men and horses, and rush to the front line to support Sun Quan all the way, which is also an ally!

"Jibo (Yi), you have to be ready at any time, after Cao Cao returns to the division, once the war is tense, please go to Hanzhong to stabilize Zhang Lu's ......"

"Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything else you need to add about this sneak attack on Xuchang?" : Liu Cong asked at the end.

"Lord, if General Guan successfully takes Xuchang and rescues the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao will learn that he will definitely send cavalry to pursue him overnight. Most of our army is infantry, how to resist? "Fa Zheng is worried that once Cao Cao's infantry catches up, Guan Yu's 30,000 people are afraid that they will not be the opponent of Cao Cao's 10,000 cavalry.

"Well, that's a problem, but I've figured out a solution! If Cao Cao really sent cavalry to pursue him, we would first fight him in an open field, and after defeating Cao Cao's cavalry, we would probably be able to live in peace for a while. Of course, Liu Cong knew how powerful the cavalry Cao Cao relied on, and all the way from Xuchang to Wancheng was an open place, if he allowed the cavalry to attack, Guan Yu would definitely be unable to defeat the army!

However, Liu Cong sold a pass at this time, and the generals didn't know how Liu Cong let the Jingzhou infantry deal with Cao Cao's cavalry! In fact, Liu Cong was also inspired by the later Tang Bing Modao Brigade and the British, whether it can be done or not, it will be tested in the next few days!

Only by striking Cao Cao's cavalry a pain will Cao Cao postpone a full-scale counterattack, and he will have time to mobilize men and horses and start diplomacy! As long as he can withstand Cao Cao's onslaught for a month or two, Jiangdong Sun Quan will definitely take the opportunity to go north! If Cao Cao can't attack for a long time, then he can only abandon the Son of Heaven and return to his master!

Besides, Cao Cao led his troops to the south to conquer Sun Quan, and I have to say that Cao Cao's research on people's hearts is still in place! In the past, he conquered Ma Chao and Liu Cong conquered Xishu, and both sides tacitly reduced the garrison in Nanyang! Because in the eyes of Liu Cong and Cao Cao, instead of confronting each other in this generation, it is better for the two powerhouses to draw forces to expand their territory!

Therefore, when Cao Cao went south this time, he reduced the defenders in the Nanyang area a lot. And Liu Cong was also very cooperative, so that Wenpin stopped harassing other counties in Nanyang! Cao Cao was not worried about Liu Cong's rescue when he attacked Sun Quan. Because since Cao Cao occupied Guanzhong, Xiliang Ma Chao was no longer afraid, and only Liu Cong and Sun Quan were the only ones who really had strength.

Although the two were allies, Cao Cao did not believe that Liu Cong would really do his best to help Sun Quan, and besides, Liu Cong had just captured Chengdu, and he heard that he had attacked his subordinates in Chengdu for a long time, and he must have suffered a lot of losses. According to Liu Cong's shrewdness, Cao Cao thought that at most, he would send 10,000 soldiers and horses to the front line to symbolize when Sun Quan was urging him.

So Cao Cao took the soldiers and set off towards Hefei! This southern expedition is also full of elites, except for Xiahou Yuan who dealt with Ma Chao in Guanzhong, Cao Ren, Zhang Liao, Zhang He and others are all listed. The number of soldiers has reached 100,000, and it is known as 400,000 to the outside world!

As Cao Cao and Liu Cong had predicted, Sun Quan heard that Cao Cao was coming, and immediately sent an envoy to Jingzhou for help. At the same time, Lu Su was ordered to be the governor of Hefei to set up defenses. Since the death of Zhou Yu in Jiangdong, Sun Quan has always followed Lu Su's Lian Liu to resist Cao, and the strategy of the Three Kingdoms. Because he had taken advantage of Cao Cao's southern expedition to Jingzhou to seize Jiaozhou, he then sent people to Yizhou. Sun Quan's territory is not small.

And Lu Su was reused, which directly led to the emergence of another handsome talent, Lu Xun! Lu Xun is talented and well-known. It's just because Lu Xun married Liu Wen that he has not been valued by Sun Quan in the past few years. But Lu Su was generous, of course, for the sake of the stability of the Jiangdong regime, and Lu Su felt the need to reuse Lu Xun.

Lu Xun's family background is a Jiangdong family. His grandfather, Lu Xianguan, was the captain of the city gate, and his father, Lu Jun, was the captain of Jiujiang (now Shouchundong, Anhui). Lu Xun lost his father at the age of ten, and followed his grandfather Lujiang to guard Lu Kang and study in his office. Later, due to the discord between Yuan Shu and Lu Kang, Sun Ce was instigated to capture Lujiang, and more than a month later, Lu Kang died of illness. Prior to this, Lu Kang had sent Lu Xun and his relatives to Jiangdong. Lu Kangzi Lu Ji is still young, so Lu Xun, who is only twelve years old, takes on the responsibility of supporting the portal.

The young Lu Xun is a gentle scholar. At that time, Lu Ji and his nephew Gu Shao were equally famous for their books. On the one hand, Lu Su's heavy use of Lu Xun was to cultivate talents for the country, and on the other hand, it was also to ease the relationship between Sun Quan and the Jiangdong wealthy family.

Of course, Lu Su is also the formulator and executor of the Three Kingdoms strategy, so he thinks that Lu Xun's marriage to Liu Wen will not only not prevent him from serving Sun Quan's regime, but on the contrary, he can strengthen the Sun-Liu alliance because of this! Therefore, in front of Sun Quan, Lu Su often defended and appreciated Lu Xun, which made Lu Xun's status in Jiangdong rise day by day.

Cao Cao thought that there must be a bad battle in the southern conquest of Sun Quan, because the northern soldiers were not accustomed to water warfare. Therefore, Cao Cao hoped to be able to settle the battle in Jiangbei. At the same time, he relied on his own strength to suppress Sun Quan! If Sun Quan can take the initiative to surrender like Zhang Xiu, it will be a lot more worry-free! In fact, within Cao Cao's group, most of the generals also believed that the day when Cao Cao would reunify China was just around the corner!

Neither Liu Cong nor Sun Quan posed a fundamental threat to Cao Cao, and it was only a matter of time before the two were pacified. For Cao Cao's choice of the relatively weak Sun Quan, the generals also agree very much! However, many fierce generals and think tanks of Cao Cao Group, including Cao Cao, did not expect that a major event would catch them off guard!

In October of the seventeenth year of Jian'an, Xuchang, the Han Dynasty, Guanglu Doctor, held the festival, and welcomed a special guest in the military Xunyu Mansion of the Prime Minister. This is Huang Quan, who followed Liu Cong to visit Xun Yu a few years ago. After Huang Quan met Xun Yu, he handed over Liu Cong's handwritten letter!

In the letter, Liu Cong wrote a series of capital close-ups about the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers, and pointed out bluntly: "Xingyi soldiers use Kuang Dynasty to calm the country, uphold the sincerity of loyalty, and defend the truth of retreat; A gentleman loves people with virtue, and it is not appropriate to be like this" to criticize Cao Cao's bad intentions for taking the throne of Duke Wei!

How could Xun Yu not know that Liu Cong was taking the opportunity to provoke him and Cao Cao. But if you think about it carefully, does your relationship with Wei Gong Cao Cao still need to be provoked? Therefore, after reading the letter, Xun Yu asked Huang Quan: "Is it just to vent his dissatisfaction with Cao Gong to Xun when his lord sent you to Xuchang?" ”

"Mr. Xun, my father-in-law knows that everything can't be hidden from Mr., so before I came, I also instructed the little one to speak directly in front of Mr. Now that the Han family is in decline, Mr. Cao Cao was not to help the Han family. My lord said, that Cao Cao entrusted the name of the Han Xiang, in fact, the Han thief, and now he is the Duke of Wei, plus Jiuxi, I am afraid that the king of Wei will be established soon...... In this way, the intention of usurpation is clearly revealed, is it what the gentleman wants? ”

Before Huang Quan came, Liu Cong carefully prepared lines for him, so after meeting, Huang Quan was not ambiguous, and every sentence went straight to the depths of Xun Yu's heart!

"You don't have to say much, how can Xun turn his back on the Lord and seek glory!" After listening to Huang Quan's tirade, Xun Yu understood that this kid was a lobbyist sent by Liu Cong! Although Xun Yu also believes in good birds, choose trees to perch. But that was also limited to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. In Xun Yu's eyes, although Liu Cong is capable, he is still not comparable with Cao Cao!

"Mr. Xun, although my father-in-law is young, he cares about the Han family and has great talents. Even the people who have high hopes for today's son. Mr. Guo has repeatedly obstructed Cao Cao's advancement, presumably Cao Cao can't tolerate Mr. If Mr. continues to stay in Cao Ying, I am afraid that my life will be in danger! ”

"Nonsense!" Now that Cao Cao has ascended to the position of Duke of Wei, Xun Yu is naturally very dissatisfied with him, but he doesn't think that Cao Cao will take his life because of this matter, the so-called loyalty is against the ear! Xun Yu asked himself with his understanding of Cao Cao, it should just be displeased, decades of subordinate affection, Xun Yu asked himself in the Cao Cao Group, although there is no outstanding military exploits, but in the middle, recommend many capable ministers and wise men, just rush this point, Cao Cao will not thin him!

"Sir, people's hearts are unpredictable! If Cao Cao insists on usurping the throne, what should Mr. do at that time? No one in Xuchang now dares to stop Cao Cao, and he has long been accustomed to being tyrannical, if Mr. insists on going his own way, it will definitely cause Cao Cao's jealousy, and he will not let Mr. ......

"Xun doesn't believe there will be that day!" Huang Quan was alarmist, and Xun Yu kept asking himself in his heart, do I really know Cao Cao? At least more than ten years ago, I was wrong. Xun Yu thought that Cao Cao would be a capable minister who could govern the world, and Cao Cao was not out of his expectations, but he gradually slipped to the point of being a hero in troubled times, and now he is even more blatant in wanting to usurp the throne!

"You go back, I won't leave Cao Gong!" Although Xun Yu did not agree to Huang Quan's request, he did not blame Huang Quan, which shows that he has gradually agreed with Huang Quan's statement in his heart, but he is afraid that although Cao Cao may want to get rid of it because of his own obstruction!

"Sir, the lord of my family remembered that you were an important minister of the Han Dynasty, and he contributed a lot to the pacification of the Han family, so he sent Quan to persuade him. Mr. doesn't cherish himself so much, I'm afraid that the relatives will be painful, and the enemies will be happy! Huang Quan saw a trace of hesitation flashing in Xun Yu's eyes, so he seized the opportunity to continue to be alarmist!
