Jiangfang Camp Ferry.

Xiang Yu and Gan Ning were at a stalemate for a while.

Enter the tent.

Xiang Yu said: "Does General Gan know about Sima Yi? ”

"Yes. For the sake of a Wenxian Pavilion attendant, General Xiang and General Gao killed under the city of Xu and extorted Cao Cao with 40,000 stone of military rations and 10 million copper coins, how can I not know? ”

Gan Ning chuckled lightly and asked suspiciously, "But... Does this have anything to do with your trip to Yizhou? ”

Xiang Yu said: "Of course it's related." When General Gao and I returned to Nanchang, the soldiers in Nanchang had already captured Sima Yi.... ”

"yes, that's great."

"But... was rescued by Liu Bei again! Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I really can't swallow this breath, I have already played to the military aircraft department, I want to start a war with Liu Bei, I hope that General Gan will prepare twenty fighting ships and send my broken military camp to Fucheng." ”

After listening to Xiang Yu's explanation, Gan Ning understood a rough idea.

To put it simply, Liu Bei kidnapped Sima Yi, and Xiang Yu was furious and wanted to seek revenge on Liu Bei.

Gan Ning hesitated and said, "Liu Bei is indeed hateful, but he won't go to war with him, right?" If General Xiang has a document from the Military Aircraft Department or a letter from the lord, I will immediately escort General Xiang to Fucheng. And support General Xiang's artillery, first occupy Fucheng. But the question is... You don't have any documents from the Military Aircraft Department, and you don't have a letter from the lord, you are making your own claims, and you are retaliating against Liu Bei, even if I want to help, I can't help. ”

Xiang Yu said: "I don't want your army to help, just twenty fighting ships to carry the barracks to Fucheng." ”

"This..."

Gan Ning was very embarrassed.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the tent: "Governor, the messenger of Shouchun has arrived." ”

"Oh?"

Gan Ning got up and straightened his clothes and said, "Please." ”

"Emissary?"

Xiang Yu's heart was in his throat.

If the Military Aircraft Department does not agree to attack Liu Bei, then the matter will be very troublesome.

A civil official from the Ministry of Rites walked into the camp, glanced at Xiang Yu and Gan Ning, and arched his hand: "I've seen two generals." ”

"Don't be polite, just convey your intentions."

"Yes."

The civilian officer opened the paperwork in his hand and said, "There is an order from the Military Aircraft Department." In mid-March, Gan Ning, the governor of Jiaozhou, mobilized 200 fighting ships and 300 warships to stand by on the north bank of Changsha. If General Xiang arrives in Jiangxia, be sure to intercept it. After the lord's army arrives, they will jointly crusade against Liu Bei. ”

"Yes."

Gan Ning stepped forward to take the paperwork.

Xiang Yu ran over excitedly, snatched the paperwork from Gan Ning's hand, glanced at it, and laughed: "Hahaha..." ”

"General Xiang got his wish, congratulations." Gan Ning smiled.

"Rejoice and rejoice."

Xiang Yu read the document from beginning to end, especially when he saw that the seal of the military aircraft department and Lu Bu's jade seal were all stamped on it, which meant that this document was the highest decision.

"Great, great...!"

Xiang Yu handed back the paperwork to Gan Ning and said, "With this paperwork, Liu Bei is dead!" The person who dares to rob me, hum, I want to let him know that it is awesome! ”

"Two generals, don't forget what you have told you above. The lower official was in a hurry to go back to his life, and retired first. The civil official of the Ministry of Rites said politely.

"Go, go, go..." Xiang Yu waved his hand.

"Yes."

After the civil officer left.

Xiang Yu pulled Gan Ning and said, "General Gan, go and prepare the warship, and I will wait in Changsha County." Before the lord arrives, how about we occupy Fucheng first? ”

"Okay...."

Gan Ning replied a little reluctantly.

As the governor of the 70,000 naval army, of course, he can't mess around like Xiang Yu. With only 10,000 iron horses, I dare to challenge Liu Bei. It also does not consider the situation of Sichuan and Shu and its own strength. What if the battle is lost?

The order Gan Ning received was to mobilize 500 fighting ships and ships to go to the north bank of Changsha County to stand by. Then as long as you do this, it is enough, if you go to attack Fucheng, you will win, and if you don't win, you will be punished by Lu Bu.

Why bother?

Lu Bu's 110,000 troops, a southern expedition with great fanfare. attracted the attention of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei. In particular, Cao Cao of Yanzhou already knew about it on the third day after Lü Bu's expedition.

Xu Du.

Wei Wangfu.

Cao Cao just reprimanded Guo Jia and Xun Yu, and sent Xiang Yu 30,000 stone of grain plus 10 million yuan without telling him. It was again received from Xizuo that Lu Bu personally led 110,000 troops to the south to crusade against Liu Bei.

Cao Cao pondered carefully and rebuked: "You two... I was disappointed too. knew that Lu Bu was a mad dog, and repeatedly flattered him. Now Lü Bu is waging war against Liu Bei. What are we going to do? Is it a war? Or not fighting? ”

"Please King Wei to calm his anger."

Cheng Yu stepped forward and arched his hand: "Feng Xiao and Wen Ruo are also in a hurry, afraid that King Wei and Lu Bu will have a bad relationship..." ”

"What has happened, don't talk about it anymore, now that Lu Bu wants to attack Liu Bei, what should we do? Wen Ruo, you say it first. Cao Cao's eyes fell on Shang Shu Ling Xun Yu.

Xun Yu replied: "The king of Wei can send someone to Hebei to persuade Yuan Shao to go south. Relieve the pressure on the battlefield in the Central Plains. ”

"What do you mean... War with Lu Bu? ”

"Yes."

Xun Yu said: "The princes of the world, in addition to Lu Bu, there are only King Wei and Liu Bei and Yuan Shao. Now that Lu Bu wants to attack Liu Bei, it is equivalent to breaking the arm of King Wei, and King Wei must fight back! ”

"Bong-hyo."

Cao Cao didn't rush to answer Xun Yu, and set his eyes on Guo Jia again.

Guo Jia hesitated for a moment and said, "King Wei... Now that we are at war with Lu Bu, our chances of victory are still very small. If King Wei is patient, he can wait a little longer.... ”

"What? Waiting? ”

Cao Cao said impatiently: "Wait any longer, Liu Bei will be wiped out." If Lu Bu is allowed to occupy Yizhou, the consequences can be imagined? Even if we were stronger, what would we do? Can you stop Lu Bu? ”

All the generals in the hall said: "Please give the order of King Wei to start a war with Lu Bu!" ”

"If Yuan Shao also joins the fight, we will definitely win." Xu Huang hugged his fists and said, "King Wei, you can't hesitate any longer, let's go to war?" ”

Cao Cao pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

Xun Yu glanced at Guo Jia and said, "Feng Xiao just said that if you start a war with Lu Bu, the possibility of winning is very small. Is it to give up Liu Bei, an ally, and continue to preserve strength? ”

If Guo Jia meant this, then Xun Yu didn't understand it.

"I didn't say that..."

Guo Jia denied.

"Fengxiao, can you make your words clearer? What the hell do you think? Cao Cao asked.

"Yes."

Guo Jiayan said: "The minister fully agrees with Wen Ruo's strategy. First send people to persuade Yuan Shao to march south and contain Xuzhou's troops. Then the 200,000 soldiers and horses of Hanzhong County were transferred back to 150,000 and deployed in Yuzhou. Contain Luo Cheng's Jingzhou army. ”

"That way, we're a lot less stressed..."

"Then from Sili and Guanwai, 150,000 troops were dispatched to Xudu to garrison, and wait and see what happened. If the three princes joined forces and had any hope of defeating Lü Bu, the king of Wei quickly occupied Yangzhou. If you can't, it's better to continue to make friends with Lu Bu. ”
