After the battle to pursue Liu Bei was over, Xu Tian was sent back to Xiangyang by Cao Cao. Continue to be his acting Jingzhou pastor.

Cao Ren, on the other hand, was punished to be a big soldier. In the name of beauty, it is said that the merit will be reversed, but it will also go with Xu Tian.

Cao Ren was accompanied by Xu Tian's acquaintance, Zhang He.

Xu Tian knew very well in his heart that these two people. It's just someone sent by Cao Cao to control the military power. This Jingzhou pastor is just a name.

However, due to the last few performances, Xu Tian's name is getting bigger and bigger.

Take Cao Ren as an example, since the last time he swore to obey Xu Tian. Then after tying him up again, he was also guilty of pleading. But I was politely asked to leave.

Since then, as long as it is not against Cao Cao's arrangement. Whatever Xu Tian says, he will do. didn't put forward an opinion or refuse, and saw Zhang He's eyes.

Cao Cao, on the other hand, went straight to Jiangling, because there were countless military supplies there.

It is no exaggeration to say that it relies only on the reserves of Gangneung. can arm hundreds of thousands of troops, how can this not make Cao Cao's heart move...

…………

Under the response of Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei came to Xiakou.

Even though he had arrived safely, Liu Bei was still shocked.

Two of his daughters were taken captive by Cao Jun, if it weren't for Zhao Yun. He couldn't even keep his son, even when he saw Cao Ren appear. The despair in my heart is already monstrous...

They had just arrived at Xiakou and had not yet had time to rest.

A soldier came to report, and Dongwu Lusu asked to see him!

It turned out that Lu Su was in a hurry all the way. When I first set off, I learned that Liu Biao had died!

Halfway through, I learned that Liu Cong had surrendered!

So when he finally learned that Liu Bei was defeated, he came to Xiakou without the slightest hesitation.

By the river, Lu Su met Liu Bei and his party.

"Lu Su meets Liu Yuzhou!"

As soon as they met, Lu Su bowed to Liu Bei.

"Zi Jing should not be polite, and please speak in the lobby. In the next for the son to respect the wind! ”

Liu Bei also smiled and clenched his fists in return, and after some greetings, everyone came to the lobby.

"Liu Yuzhou!"

After everyone sat down, Lu Su said straight to the point: "Now, Cao Cao's army is pressing. Jingzhou has been obtained, where does Yuzhou plan to go next? ”

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, who were sitting in the hall, glanced at each other and spoke slowly.

"Now that I am in a new defeat, I can only defend Xiakou. Reorganize the army and horses, and fight to the death with the Cao army! ”

"How can a small city resist Cao Cao's tiger and wolf army!" Lu Su shook his head. "Why don't you join forces with my lord and join forces with Cao Cao!"

Liu Bei raised his head fiercely and stared at Lu Su.

"What do you mean by this?"

"For the sake of today, as long as you and I join forces. Only then can we share Cao Cao's next time. I just hope that Liu Yuzhou can send someone to return to Chaisang with me and meet my father-in-law!

Once you and I join forces, we can really compete with Cao Cao! ”

At this time, Zhuge Liang also stood up. He arched his hand to Liu Bei and spoke.

"My lord! Zi Jing is reasonable, and he also asks the lord to give an order, and he is willing to go with Zi Jing! ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed and agreed to this matter without a moment's hesitation!

……

After Cao Cao obtained Jiangling, he obtained countless grains, grasses, and ordnance.

Not only that, but after getting Jingzhou. also incorporated Cai Mao's hundreds of thousands of water troops, making up for his shortcomings in the water army.

At this time, Cao Cao was in high spirits. He looked at the rough river, and his heart was full of pride.

In his opinion now, Liu Bei has long been out of the question.

In his eyes, even Sun Quan, who is entrenched in Jiangdong. It's just fish on the chopping board, lambs to the slaughter.

On this day, Xu Tian, who was far away in Xiangyang, wrote a long letter to Cao Cao.

When the letter reached Cao Cao's hand, he was meeting with the strategist Jia Xu.

Inside the house, the two sat across from each other.

When it is not usually a formal occasion, Cao Cao behaves very casually.

In this way, he is comfortable, and others do not feel restrained.

After reading the long letter written by Xu Tian, Cao Cao was silent for a long time.

"Check it out!" Cao Cao handed the letter to Jia Xu. "He's on your own!"

In Xu Tian's letter, he tried his best to persuade Cao Cao not to use troops against Eastern Wu.

Even if you want to crusade against Liu Bei, you must make it clear that you are attacking Liu Bei. Don't get involved with Sun Quan!

At the same time, there are many reasons why you can't enter the army!

Including the army, most of them are northerners, and they will definitely not adapt to the soil and water. There is a high probability that you will get sick, lose your combat effectiveness, and so on!

Jia Xu read the long letter carefully and couldn't help but praise it.

"This Xu Tian is really a talent! The factors he listed here are all weaknesses of our army!

He was right, Jingzhou was the first to fall. People's hearts are unstable, and the most important thing we should do is to reassure people's hearts. Solid victories.

So, please think twice! ”

Although Cao Cao has always known how to listen to opinions, and will make the right choice.

But at this time, he was in high spirits. Even though he knew that Xu Tian and Jia Xu's opinions were very reasonable, he was still a little displeased!

Because in his opinion, those people in Jiangdong. It's not worth his caution at all!

And at first, it was indeed as he expected, after Cao Cao took Jiangling.

When the news reached Wudi, most of the people were terrified.

The whole Soochow was in a panic!

When Zhuge Liang followed Lu Su to Eastern Wu, Sun Quan immediately convened an internal military meeting.

Above this meeting, the voices of surrender rose and fell.

Until the end, Sun Quan couldn't sit still. Under the pretext of going to the toilet, I left for the time being.

Lu Su immediately followed...

Seeing Lu Su coming out, Sun Quan knew. He had something to say to himself, and he stood and waited.

Lu Su came to Sun Quan and bowed deeply.

"Lord! Zibu (Zhang Zhaozi Zibu) They are misleading the lord!

It's not impossible to surrender Cao Cao, but who is it to be divided!

For example, I, Lu Su, can surrender! Because even if I surrender, it's a big deal for me to find a remote city to settle in.

With my talent in Lusu, it's always okay to be a county magistrate.

At that time, I could also ride in an ox cart. Enjoy the mountains and rivers at ease!

But what about the lord? If the lord surrendered to Cao Cao, where could he go? ”

When Sun Quan heard this, he exhaled a long breath.

He took Lu Su's hand and said seriously.

"Zijing, this is God sending you to my side! Zibu they really disappointed me so much, only you really understand me! ”

Lu Su's words really spoke to the depths of Sun Quan's heart.

This is not only related to the interests of Soochow, but also to Sun Quan's personal interests.

As a result, everything is pushed in an orderly manner like the original trajectory of history.

The Sun-Liu alliance was quickly formed, and they were ready to prepare.

At this time, Cao Cao also commanded his army on land and water. Claimed to be 800,000, it went down the river to the east. Coming straight to Soochow...
