Xuchang City.

It is also the main city in the territory owned by Cao Cao.

Since taking the land of Jizhou, Yuan Shao committed suicide.

Cao Cao also returned to Xuchang to take charge, and did not change the main city and moved to Jizhou.

Moreover, it didn't take long to take Jizhou, and it still took a certain amount of time to fully control the land of Jizhou, and some of the right-hand men were left in Jizhou.

As for Liu Bei, who captured the land of Youzhou, he did not want to continue to plan the land of Jizhou.

There is no longer the intention to continue to encroach on the rest of the territory.

The most important thing is that after taking the entire land of Jizhou, there is a shortage of manpower, and it is not appropriate to continue to occupy the territory.

...

In Cao Cao's mansion.

Now Cao Cao is sitting opposite Xi Zhicai, playing chess.

"The situation in Jizhou should be basically stable!" Cao Cao said casually.

Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "With Wen Ruo and General Xiahou, there will be no problems, according to the letter that came before, maybe it will take more than half a month to be able to completely control the land of Jizhou!" ”

Cao Cao also nodded.

He was just asking casually.

When he rushed back from Jizhou, he also transferred Xun Yu over, and Xiahou Yuan and others also stayed in Jizhou to assist Xun Yu.

After all, in this aspect, Xun Yu is the most suitable candidate, and his big rear is all relying on Xun Yu to help him stabilize, and in this aspect, Xi Zhicai is still a little worse.

Compared to this, he is concerned about something else.

"Is there any latest news from Jiangxia?" Cao Cao asked.

He knew that Qin Yin had already arrived in Jiangxia, and he had also made an attack, and it had been a few days, so there should have been news back, right?

Xi Zhicai shook his head and said: "No, the latest, that is, yesterday, the Qin army is still in a stalemate with the defenders of Jiangxia, I can't think of what the Qin army has any plans, as far as the current situation is concerned, I don't think of a few days, the Qin army will have a move, Sun Quan refuses to reinforce, and it is relatively easy for the Qin army to take Jiangxia City." ”

Now that Jiangxia has fallen into the hands of the Qin army, the news that Zhou Yu and others were captured has not yet spread.

However, in his opinion, it is only a matter of time before the Qin army takes Jiangxia City, it just depends on what the Qin army has planned, and Sun Quan is unwilling to support Jiangxia, so it is not difficult to investigate.

Even if you don't ask, you can know.

"That's true!" Cao Cao nodded and said, "Sun Quan doesn't support Jiangxia, just with 50,000 Jiangdong troops, he can't resist for long, and the news spreads, without the Qin army attacking, they can all mess up on their own, but what people care about is that Sun Quan, after Jiangdong became emperor and established the Wu State, he has not moved." ”

"I didn't have the idea of supporting Jiang Xia, so I gave up Jiang Xia directly, and I don't know what kind of confidence I have, or what kind of plan I have?"

Hear the words.

Xi Zhicai also condensed.

He couldn't figure out the key to it.

Even if Sun Quan wants to get rid of Zhou Yu, he should know that the current situation is not the most suitable time, and being able to control Jiangxia is also a beneficial thing for Sun Quan.

But Sun Quan didn't seem to care about Jiangxia's affairs, even if he gave up Jiangxia, he had to use Qin Yin's hand to get rid of Zhou Yu.

But if Jiangxia fell into the hands of the Qin army.

That is not a good thing for the land of Jiangdong, the Qin army can drive straight in, advance can attack, retreat can defend, occupy the advantageous side.

"My subordinates can't guess!" Xi Zhicai said, "Moreover, Sun Quan has not made any moves at all, let alone any signs of deploying soldiers and horses, which makes it difficult to guess, although many secret agents have been sent to pay attention, but what has been sent back is something meaningless, and there is not much useful information at all!" ”

"And the Qin army didn't take Jiangxia City anxiously, it was stalemate, maybe it was also a scruple, the unknown thing is the most terrifying, because I don't know what will happen?"

Cao Cao also nodded in agreement.

He didn't know Qin Yin's plan, but he also felt that it was about the same.

Moreover, Sun Quan has not made any moves, which is also something that people have to scruple about.

Qin Yin is leading a large army and crusading against Jiangdong, it is impossible for Sun Quan not to know about such a big matter, and he knows that Qin Yin will not retreat easily.

But still.

Then we have to dig deeper.

Even Jiangxia City gave up, except that getting rid of Zhou Yu with the help of the Qin army was a reason, and it was more because of what kind of plan.

He didn't think Sun Quan was a fool, and quietly waited for Qin Jun to come to the door.

"Sun Quan, this kid is very hidden, or rather, he has been covered up by Sun Ce, judging from his current practices, he is not a simple character!" Cao Cao sighed a little.

I can't help but sigh.

In the past, he paid great attention to Sun Ce, but ignored Sun Quan.

But after Sun Quan inherited Sun Ce's position, the means he used in Jiangdong were not something that ordinary people could do, and now he was using a city to get rid of Zhou Yu, who had a huge threat in Jiangdong.

At the same time, many newcomers were also promoted as henchmen.

Obviously, it is to abandon Sun Ce's party.

It was still when it was attacked by the Qin army.

It's not that you have a certain amount of confidence, it's a fool.

But is Sun Quan a fool?

"That's true!" Xi Zhicai also nodded in approval, "Not to mention Sun Quan, even Liu Bei, who is the emperor in Qingzhou, is the same, and now he is also very peaceful, without a trace of action, just like Sun Quan's actions, it is also very weird." ”

Heard Xi Zhicai's reminder.

Cao Cao also frowned, pinching a black chess piece, and didn't even have the idea of continuing to play chess.

Now Sun Quan is the emperor in Jianye and establishes the state of Wu; And Liu Bei has also been proclaimed emperor in Qingzhou and established the Shu State; Although after Liu Wei's death, coupled with the current situation in the Central Plains, it is not a strange thing.

But in the face of the Qin army's crusade, he still seems to be a nobody, which is a little strange.

And since Qin Yin controlled most of the Central Plains, he would not allow the existence of Wu and Shu, and it was impossible for Sun Quan and Liu Bei not to be unaware of this situation.

But it was still quiet, waiting for the Qin army to seize Jiangxia City.

Although the Qin army wanted to crusade against Liu Bei, it was a little troublesome, but this could not be a reason for Liu Bei to be idle.

The most important thing.

Liu Bei didn't even have too much defense against him!

Moreover, the dispatch report could not find any useful information, which really made people feel very confused.
