"Yes..."

All the generals expressed their support.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

The meeting is over.

The generals departed one after another.

Chen Gong stopped Zhang Liao and Wei Yan and said, "You two are in charge of the 3rd Group Army, I am the most worried. ”

"What is the gentleman worried about?"

Zhang Liao and Wei Yan were puzzled.

Chen Gong motioned for them to sit down and said: "The garrison of the 3rd Army is in Xuzhou, once the war starts, you will have to face Cao Cao and Yuan Shang, although the Yellow River is controlled by Gan Ning, but Cao Cao has also formed an army of 80,000 sailors in the lower reaches of Luoyang. Xuzhou is even more linked to Yanzhou, and you are under a lot of pressure. The attack on Hebei also had to guard against Cao Cao's Yanzhou army and Luoyang's navy. The most important thing is that the two of you should be united and not fight over some small differences, you know what I mean? ”

Zhang Liao said: "Sir is too worried, I have worked with General Wei Yan for several years, and we have long been like brothers, how can we fight." ”

"I'm just giving you a heads-up."

Wei Yan frowned slightly and asked, "Listening to what Mr. said just now, did you mean that in the near future, you will attack Hebei?" ”

"Sooner or later, I don't know how long it will take." Chen Gong didn't tell the truth.

"Oh..."

Both Zhang Liao and Wei Yan promised that they would be united.

Chen Gong did not dwell on this issue, and then said: "If you want to attack Hebei, in addition to carrying out the orders of the Military Aircraft Department, you must also listen to the advice of Fan Lihua and Mu Guiying, march steadily, and don't be impatient..." ”

"No."

Chen Gong instructed them a lot.

Zhang Liao and Wei Yan were excited, but also a little uncomfortable. Bai Qi is the commander of the group army like them, but why didn't Chen Gong tell Bai Qi? Could it be that in Chen Gong's eyes, Bai Qi is better than the two of them?

.....................

At the same time as the military aircraft department was preparing for battle, Liu Bei's army had arrived in Xiliang, united with more than 40,000 Qiang Hu cavalry, cut off the Wei River, and attacked Longxi, Jixian and other cities.

The Wei generals stationed in Xiliang, Cao Hong, and Le Jin resisted vigorously.

Both sides have their own winners and losers.

Then Cao Cao sent an envoy to negotiate with Liu Bei, willing to lend Xiliang to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei is now in a hurry for the development of the territory, how can he refuse. immediately agreed to Cao Cao's negotiation request and signed an agreement with Cao Cao to collect all the twelve counties of Xiliang.

However, before Liu Bei occupied the twelve counties, Cao Cao transported all the food and ordnance, and withdrew Xiliang's army to the south of the Wei River.

Liu Bei's occupation of the twelve counties was just the occupation of some empty cities.

Because the land of these twelve counties is all governed by the Kushan Empire and Qianghu, Liu Bei has no right to intervene. Qiang Hu would not agree to give his land to Liu Bei. The Kushan Empire did not budge an inch.

Therefore, although Liu Bei has Xiliang, his strength is very weak. When he crossed the Qinling Mountains, he lost most of his soldiers and horses, and when he attacked Xiliang, he lost some of them, and now there are less than 10,000 people. After the evacuation of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Qianghu, the poor will be used as pants.

this day.

Liu Bei sent an envoy Sun Qian to arrive in Xudu, Yanzhou.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei were in an alliance, and when the relationship was close, Cao Cao was warmly received.

"Meet King Wei."

Sun Qian saluted Cao Cao.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Envoy Sun doesn't have to be polite, get up." Liu Bei sent you, what did you do? ”

Sun Qian arched his hand and said: "King Wei should know that my lord's ambition has always been to support the Han family, although his strength is not good now, but this ambition is unswerving. My lord misses His Majesty the Son of Heaven and wants to take the Son of Heaven to serve in Longxi, and if the King of Wei agrees, we are willing to help the King of Wei and attack Lü Bu. ”

"Oh?"

Cao Cao was overjoyed, but continued: "When we lent Xiliang to Liu Bei, we negotiated, and the condition of the negotiation was to help me attack Lu Bu. You don't seem to be using this condition, do you? ”

"Yes. If the King of Wei can send the Son of Heaven to Longxi, my lord will be even more conscientious. Sun Qiandao.

Cao Cao didn't want the titular Son of Heaven for a long time, and it was useless to hold it in his hand. Then he said, "Okay, I..." ”

"Ahem."

Sima Yi, who was sitting next to him, coughed twice.

Cao Cao frowned, and said to Sun Qian: "Let me think twice about this matter, you go to the post house and wait first." I'll tell you when I'm decided. ”

"Yes."

Sun Qian left.

Sima Yi said: "King Wei can't promise Liu Bei. ”

"Why? The Son of Heaven is useless. ”

Sima Yi glanced at the inside and outside of the hall, saw that there were only two people, him and Cao Cao, and said, "How can it be said that it is useless?" The Han Dynasty lasted for four hundred years, and there were countless families and courtiers who were loyal to the Han Dynasty. Even Xun Yu, the most trusted minister of the King of Wei, seems to be loyal to the King of Wei on the surface, but in fact he wants to use the strength of the King of Wei to calm the world and return to the Son of Heaven. If the King of Wei gave the Son of Heaven to Liu Bei, then Liu Bei would suddenly become the pillar of the Han Dynasty, and many ministers in our court would secretly communicate with Liu Bei. This hindered the decisive battle between the King of Wei and Lü Bu. ”

"Furthermore, if Liu Bei wins the Son of Heaven, then he represents the Great Han. Although the King of Wei is the King of Wei, he is still a minister of the Han Dynasty, and there will be many inconveniences for the King of Wei to capture Xiliang in the future. Liu Bei will say that the world is all Han, and Xiliang is also Han, so how can he borrow a word? King Wei's capture of Xiliang will also be scolded by the world. ”

Cao Cao patted his head and said, "I'm really old and confused." Even Liu Bei's trick didn't see it. ”

"King Wei is busy with big things all day long, if you calm down, you will definitely be able to see the clues." Sima Yi said.

"Hurriedly sent someone to tell Sun Qian, saying that the Son of Heaven likes to be in Chang'an and does not want to go to the barren Xiliang. The matter of sending the Son of Heaven to Longxi is stopped. Cao Cao commanded.

"No."

Sima Yi relayed Cao Cao's words to Sun Gan word for word.

Sun Qian reluctantly retreated.

This matter was Pang Tong's strategy, and it was also praised by Liu Bei. It's a pity that Sima Yi made trouble and didn't succeed. If Cao Cao can agree and send Emperor Han Xian to Xiliang, Liu Bei's rise is just around the corner.

Yangzhou.

Shouchun City.

Bai Qi's 2nd Army and Zhang Liao's and Wei Yan's 3rd Army had already been formed and went to their respective stations.

Recruiting troops is also being carried out in various parts of Yangzhou...

After Bai Qi, Zhang Liao, and Wei Yan left, 200,000 recruits were formed. As Li Cunxiao and Liang Hongyu's Yangzhou Army.

Gao Shun's 50,000 troops were still in Yuzhang, Huiji and Wu County.

Xiang Yu's broken military camp and Li Cunxiao's Flying Tiger Army are all in Shouchun City.

The soldiers and horses from all over the country returned to their place.

After receiving the order from the Military Aircraft Department, all generals above the rank of lieutenant should go to the military academy in Shouchun Wenxian Pavilion in early September to study. This incident has reverberated in various places.

Many generals were reluctant to return to Shouchun to study, thinking that it was too much.

But the order of the Military Aircraft Department cannot be disobeyed. Although I was unwilling, I still put down the rights in my hands one by one and rushed to Shouchun.
