The 212th Great War is on the verge of breaking out

Xun Yu saw another conspiracy from the third ranking written by Jin Jue, no, it should be said that it was a conspiracy.

Jin Jue included Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu in the list of loyal ministers at the same time, among which Yuan Shu was able to enter the list purely to humiliate Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. And the names of Liu Bei and Cao Cao are on the list at the same time, which is more mysterious.

If Cao Cao attacked Liu Beijun before Yuan Shu openly proclaimed himself emperor, there would still be an excuse to find, after all, until now, Liu Bei's Xuzhou assassination history was not justified, and it had never been personally recognized by the imperial court and Emperor Han Xian, it was just a private relationship between Tao Qian and Liu Bei.

Liu Zhang is also in this situation, and in the future, Sun Ce died, and Sun Quan took over, and the same was true.

On the contrary, although Cao Cao's position of Yanzhou pastor was taken from Jin Shang, Emperor Han Xian had officially appointed Cao Cao as Yanzhou pastor in the first year of Jian'an. After moving the capital to Xuchang, in November last year, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty appointed Cao Cao as Sikong, a general and a military general, and all officials had to obey Cao Cao's orders.

The two have very different statuses.

However, if Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou this time, but after Yuan Shu became emperor, it would inevitably disappoint those scholars in the world who were still loyal to the Han Dynasty and the Han Emperor.

Cao Cao let Yuan Shu, a traitor, not go to the expedition, but brazenly sent troops to attack Liu Bei, the fifth in the Han clan and loyal ministers. Cao Cao's move is on behalf of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, so how can this convince the people of the world?

At that time, if Cao Cao is really able to capture the entire Xuzhou, things will be simpler, become a king and defeat Kou, even if Liu Bei is really a relative of the Han family, the person who loses has no human rights, but if Liu Bei holds on, Cao Cao and Emperor Han Xian will inevitably have to brush up on a wave of negative prestige again.

However, Xun Yu is also very clear that this year, is the best opportunity for Cao Cao's army to attack and take the whole of Xuzhou, if this year is missed, it will inevitably give Liu Bei time to integrate the entire Xuzhou, with food, with well-trained soldiers, plus for the whole Xuzhou, the emperor's order does not work, in the face of the attack of Cao Cao's forces, the whole Xuzhou will unite together, share the same hatred, and work together to assist Liu Bei to defend Xuzhou.

At that time, it would be very difficult for Cao Cao's army to win as easily as this year.

This is the reason why Xun Yu is embarrassed and wants to stop talking.

Sending troops will affect Cao Cao's prestige, and then it will affect the prestige of Emperor Han Xian, because what Cao Cao is pointing at now will give people an illusion, that is, this is an order given by Emperor Han Xian.

This is the power of the sentence that coerced the princes of heaven and ordered the beasts and horses to ask for help.

At this moment, a person's words woke Xun Yu up from his messy thoughts.

"Lord, at present, Jin Jue's strength is indeed insignificant, but he himself can play a role in colluding with Lu Bujun and Liu Beijun, therefore, this time to attack Xuzhou, you must be careful to guard against Lu Bu will suddenly send troops to attack Yanzhou or Yingchuan County when the war is at its most anxious!" The person who spoke was none other than Guo Jia.

In the past, Yingchuan County was not very important, and Yanzhou was really Cao Cao's foundation, but since Cao Cao successfully moved Emperor Xian of Han to Xudu, the status and role of Xu County, and even the entire Yingchuan County, have increased day by day.

The closest force to Xu County, but Nanyang Zhang Xiu, for him, whether it is Cao Cao, or Guo Jia, has never been worried, even if there is a life and death enmity between the two forces, but as long as Cao Cao is willing to let go of the hatred between each other, there is the face of Emperor Han Xian in the middle, and Jia Xu's words, Zhang Xiu will definitely surrender to Cao Cao's army again.

But Lu Bu had to guard against it!

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Sili Captain Department was in charge of the seven counties, namely Henan Yin, Hedong County, Hanoi County, Hongnong County, Jingzhao Yin, Zuo Feng Yi and Right Fufeng. So far, Cao Cao has not been able to control even a county.

In the original history, Zhong Xuan was about to become the captain of Si Li, and it became distant in this time and space. Ma Teng controls the three counties of the Sili Captain's Department, and Hongnong County is about to arrive, how could he watch Zhong Xuan come to take away his rights.

And Henan County, although Yang Feng did not control it all, but as long as he still occupies the Tiger Pass, Cao Cao will not want to control Henan County, not to mention, today's Henan County, except for those people who fled to the mountains around Henan County, almost all of them have become a large no-man's land, even if Yang Feng takes the initiative to get out of the way, Cao Cao will not get anything when he sends troops into Henan County.

This is the viciousness of the strategy that Jin Jue offered to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi is even more poisonous, and he is even more ready to start from Yanzhou.

Once Lü Bu is in the east, he will inevitably send troops to attack the area currently controlled by Cao Cao again, and the two closest counties to Lü Bu's army are Yingchuan County and Chenliu County.

"Yes, my lord, I think so too." Xun Yu shook his head, shook off the troubles in his heart, and followed suit.

"Hmmm! Zhongde, Chen Liujun will be handed over to you, Zixiao, how many men and horses do you need to be able to hold Chonggao County. Cao Cao also nodded when he heard this, and commanded.

Zixiao is Cao Cao's brother Cao Ren, Cao Ren is good at guarding, so Cao Cao will give him such an important task. The sublime county was established when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty toured Songshan in the east, this county is bordering Henan Yin, and it is also the gateway to Yingchuan County.

And Cheng Yu is also a good defender, at the beginning, when Yanzhou as a whole rebelled against Cao Cao, it was he and Xun Yu who defended the two counties of Dong'e and Fanxian, which ensured that Cao Cao did not completely lose the foundation of Yanzhou. Moreover, Cheng Yu is loyal to Cao Cao, he is willing to do any dirty work, and Cao Cao is naturally extremely relieved of him.

However, this time, Cao Cao's transfer of Cheng Yu from Yanzhou was a misstep, if he left Cheng Yu in Yanzhou, even if Lu Bujun really listened to Jin Jue's advice and successfully raided Dong County from Hanoi County, the results obtained may not be satisfactory to Lu Bu.

"My lord, it's enough for you to leave me three thousand soldiers." Cao Ren said calmly.

Cao Cao asked him to stay in Yingchuan County, and Cao Ren naturally could not lead troops to participate in the attack on Xuzhou, but he also understood that Xu County and Emperor Han Xian were actually more important to Cao Cao than to take the entire Xuzhou, so Cao Cao's decision shows his trust.

The matter was settled, and a great war that shook the entire Central Plains was about to break out.
