Chapter 387: You Are the Grand Duke, You Are Right About Anything
"Really?" Yuan Shao asked.
"Yes."
Hua Xin replied: "The King of Wei has sent 300,000 elites back to Yanzhou from Hanzhong County, Sili County and Guanwai, ready to meet LΓΌ Bu at any time. And let his subordinates tell King Zhao that as long as King Zhao is willing to send troops, King Wei will fully cooperate, and the land, money and grain obtained will belong to King Zhao. β
"Are you serious?"
"Seriously!"
Hua Xin nodded very seriously, thinking: "Anyway, Guo Jia said, if you are not ready to participate in the war, where will you get the land money and grain?" Besides, it is not easy to grab land from Lu Bu's hands. β
Hearing this, Guo Tu and the trial duo both looked at Hua Xin in surprise.
The generals became excited: "Great..." β
Yuan Shao also looked happy and said, "Okay... Cao Mengdeken puts the overall situation first and gathers heavy troops to eliminate Lu Bu, how can I not allow it? β
"So... King Zhao agreed? β
Hua Xin asked in surprise.
He couldn't believe it, and in a few words, he persuaded Yuan Shao? Moreover, Guo Tu and the trial did not mention the matter of sending troops to Yangzhou first, as if they had forgotten the previous conversation.
Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Of course I have to agree." Please go back and tell King Wei that I will send 400,000 elites to the south within a month. Together with the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, there are more than 600,000. I hope that the King of Wei will be like me, and he will do his best to kill Yangzhou. We joined forces and vowed to deliver a fatal blow to Lu Bu. As for the turf... Whoever occupies it is his, and there is no need to give in. β
Yuan Shao is not stupid.
If the land, money, and food are all owned. Why did Cao Cao work hard?
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Hua Xin replied again and again.
He was afraid that Yuan Shao would mention the matter of 'letting Cao Cao send troops first' again, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "King Zhao, please rest assured. In this Central Plains War, Lu Bu has to face the three major princes, and our troops... More than three times as much as him. No matter the time, place, or people, he does not have an advantage. It will be broken by my coalition forces! β
"Uh-huh..."
The crowd nodded.
Yuan Shao said: "It's decided. I hope to borrow your auspicious words to eliminate Lu Bu in one fell swoop!! β
"Yes, yes."
Hua Xin responded.
Guo Tuhe judged the match, looked at Hua Xin's demeanor and demeanor, and was a little worried. I wanted to mention the matter of 'letting Cao Cao send troops first', but I was afraid that Yuan Shao would be frightened and give up the southern expedition.
The two hesitated for a long time, but finally did not say anything.
In their eyes, Yuan Shao was strong enough to march into the Central Plains without defeat. Even if Cao Cao was a little cautious and unwilling to do his best to attack Lu Bu, it would not affect the overall situation.
End of meeting.
Hua Xin prepares to return to the inn.
The judge chased him out and called, "Hua Daren..." β
"Lord Judge? What do you have to teach you? β
Hua Xin stopped.
The judge looked left and right and said, "There are too many people here, how about we talk in another place?" β
"Okay."
Hua Xin had a bad premonition, and it was not good to refuse the trial directly.
Come upstairs to the inn.
Hua Xin sat down and said, "Lord Juan wants to mention it again... Is it a matter of letting King Wei send troops first? β
Hua Xin knew that he couldn't hide, so he simply raised it himself.
"Exactly!"
The trial did not shy away from it, and said straight to the point: "From your words and deeds, I know Cao Cao's intentions." It was to provoke our lord to fight with Lu Bu, and he sat back and watched it happen. β
"No..."
"Don't talk yet." The judge interrupted Hua Xin's argument and continued: "I don't have to ask you to agree, attack Yangzhou first. Because you can't be the master. I came to you to tell Cao Cao. Liu Bei's Sichuan Shu was attacked, which was bound to arouse the dissatisfaction of the Sichuan and Shu family, and they would do their best to help Liu Bei. Our Lord has long intended to expand, and now that he has the opportunity, he will do his best. β
"This is the battle of life and death for the four princes!"
"If Cao Mengde plays a careful role and lets Lu Bu win and capture Yizhou, then Lu Bu's strength will increase exponentially. Because after the fall of Yizhou, the southeast became his rear. Heavy troops will be deployed to the Central Plains. At that time, no matter how hard you and I work together, it will be difficult to compete with him. β
"There is another important reason. It is Lu Bu's sailor. If Liu Bei perishes, Gan Ning's naval army will all be transferred to the Yellow River, and the territory of you and me will be divided and wiped out one by one... β
The trial said a lot.
In short, I advise Cao Cao not to have a fluke mentality. Only when the three major princes join forces and meet the enemy with all their strength can it be possible to win.
"Uh..."
Hua Xin listened a little blindly.
The judge was afraid that he would not be able to remember, so he said: "I will write a letter, and you will present it to the King of Wei on my behalf, how about it?" β
"Okay."
The judge asked the attendant of the post house to take pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and write down what he had just said. And listed many possibilities in the compromise, analyzing the current situation and the situation of the princes of all parties, it can be said that it is comprehensive.
After writing it, give it to Hua Xin.
Hua Xin said: "Don't worry, Master Juan, I will definitely transfer it to King Wei." β
"Okay."
Mid-March.
LΓΌ Bu's army finally arrived in Changsha County, south of Jingzhou.
Xiang Yu was stationed on the bank of the river, waiting for the warship with a blank eye, wanting to take a boat to attack Fucheng. But... More than half a month has passed, and not a single warship has come, and there is no news of Ganning.
Xiang Yu was a little worried, afraid that something would happen to Gan Ning.
Just as he was about to send someone to look for it, he saw a black line appear on the river. The black line slowly grew larger, forming a row of warships, with flags flashing behind them, linking to the sky.
The ship moved slowly, like a turtle crawling.
"Report..."
At this moment, a soldier ran in the distance and said, "General, the lord has arrived." β
"Go and tell the lord, and I'll go see you right away."
"No."
Xiang Yu looked at the approaching warship, then at the departing soldiers, and instantly understood. Gan Ning had already calculated the time and came with Lu Bu. In this way, you can avoid attacking Fucheng.
"Okay, you're there!"
Xiang Yu didn't know what to say. I can't let out any anger in my heart.
After seeing Gan Ning, he didn't say a word.
"General Xiang is angry with me?" Gan Ning asked with a smile.
"How dare I be angry with you."
Xiang Yu snorted coldly: "You are the governor of the capital, the official of the feudal territory, I am just an ordinary general, of course I can't command you." Come whenever you want.... β
"If General Xiang wants to say this, he will wronged me too much. I'm doing it for your own good, too. Do you think that Fucheng is the gateway to Yizhou, can it not be guarded by heavy troops? Our army lacks siege skills, and even if there are 100,000 people, it will be difficult to break the city. It's better to wait for the lord to come, with the artillery of the new army, you can easily win, and you can also avoid casualties of our army, why not? β
"You're the Grand Duke, and you're right about everything." Xiang Yu said in a strange voice, and accelerated the speed of his feet.
Gan Ning rolled her eyes and quickly followed.
