In the past, the Thunderbolt only used boulders, if the fierce fire oil is put into the battlefield, it will play a huge role in the future, their attack method, will not be so single, and the Thunderbolt army can also become a vital existence, can largely affect the outcome of a war, the emergence of the fierce fire oil, will inevitably make the Thunderbolt usher in greater development.

In order to seize Yizhou as quickly as possible, even if things such as fierce fire oil are exposed, Lu Bu thinks it is worth it, provided that Yizhou can be taken from Liu Bei's hands and make Liu Bei homeless.

The war in Yizhou is in full swing, the eyes of the princes have never left Yizhou, deep down, whether it is Jiangdong or Cao Cao, they all hope that Lu Bu can suffer huge losses in Yizhou, mainly because Lu Bu has developed too fast in recent years, giving people a dizzying feeling, if the Jiangdong army and the Cao army can not catch up, once Lu Bu takes Yizhou as his own, the unlucky ones must be the two parties.

Now both the Cao army and the Jiangdong army have maintained a good relationship with Lu Bu, because they understand the importance of Lu Bu, Cao Cao wants to get more benefits from the battlefield in Jingzhou, he must get Lu Bu's support, at this time Lu Bu's attitude is still crucial for Cao Cao to attack Jingzhou, Cao Cao now has 200,000 troops, it can be said that he is the most powerful existence among the princes, whether it is the number of the army or the elite degree of the army, the Cao army is not comparable to the Jiangdong army and the Yizhou army, and Cao Cao also understands, After Lü Bu pacified Yizhou, his rule would face great danger, and sooner or later a war would start between him and Lü Bu, and it was extremely important for Cao Cao to achieve greater achievements before a decisive battle with Lü Bu.

The Cao army invested in the Jingzhou battlefield reached 100,000 people, which is enough to see Cao Cao's determination to prepare Jingzhou into his hands in one fell swoop, in fact, Cao Cao also has such strength, in terms of the number of troops, the Jiangdong army is difficult to compare with the Cao army, and the Jiangdong army gathered in Jiangxia at this time is only 50,000 people.

And Cao Cao has a lot of prestige in Jingzhou, the most important reason is that there are many families in Jingzhou in Xudu, and the support of the family in Jingzhou will greatly affect the family in Jingzhou, and when Sun Ce raided Jingnan County, Jingnan County was on Cao Cao's side at that time, whether it is from the perspective of personal strength or from the aspect of occupying the righteousness, Cao Cao is a more suitable candidate than the Jiangdong Army, and Cao Cao did show a strong means when attacking Jingzhou, At that time, the Cao army was facing the most elite forces in Jingzhou, and the Jiangdong army just took advantage of the situation to get there.

There is also a certain reason for the family to support Cao Cao, since Liu Biao occupied Jingzhou, the relationship between Jiangdong and Jingzhou has been very poor, especially after Sun Jian died in the hands of Liu Biao, which deepened this kind of hatred, otherwise after Liu Biao became a saint, the Jiangdong army would not have repeatedly attacked.

The Jingzhou army may not be as good as the infantry battle, but it is superior in terms of the navy, even compared with the Jiangdong navy, the Jiangdong army wants to use Jingzhou as a springboard, and then try to plot the world, Liu Biao does not want to take the Jiangdong county into the palm, so that Jingzhou does not have to worry about the disaster from Jiangdong.

At this time, both Sun Ce and Liu Biao have become a thing of the past, and Liu Biao's years of dedication in Jingzhou are also lost from Liu Qi's hands with the shot of Cao Jun and Jiangdong Army, which is not only a huge loss of Liu Bei's strength, but also the disdain of the princes for the Han family, attacking Jingzhou can make the princes have greater influence under the rule, whether it is the Jiangdong Army or the Cao Army, under the rule of its monarch, there is no shortage of people who have the heart to the Han family, if it can make the dignity of the Han family completely come to naught in the turmoil again and again, It was more beneficial for the princes.

As for Cao Cao's support for Liu Cong to become the new emperor of the Han Dynasty in Xudu, it is just to get more benefits, after Xu has the imperial court, he can also get more talents for Cao Cao, as for whether Cao Cao will still have such respect for the Han family in the future, it is unknown.

Attacking Jingzhou, Cao Cao is to occupy the righteousness, Jingzhou was originally under the rule of Liu Biao, in terms of the governance of Jingzhou, the family of Jingzhou and the original family under Cao Cao reached an agreement, the family of Jingzhou did not want to take over the lost things from the hands of the enemy again, and Cao Cao wanted to get Jingzhou to further strengthen his strength, and when facing Lu Bu in the future, he would not panic.

The situation in Jiangdong at this time is not optimistic, whether it is Lu Bu leading the army to attack Yizhou, or Cao Cao personally leading the army to attack Jiangxia, the injured party is Jiangdong, Sun Quan is still relatively satisfied with the current governance, in the absence of Sun Ce full of belligerent character in his bones, Sun Quan needs stability under the rule at this time, and then the rapid development of the strength of the army, sticking to Jiangxia, is just an expedient measure, but now Jiangdong can't afford to lose Jingzhou, if Jingzhou completely falls into the hands of Cao Cao, It will be a great blow to the Jiangdong Army.

When seizing Jingzhou, the Jiangdong army paid a lot of losses, how many hot-blooded sons of the Jiangdong army died on the battlefield in Jingzhou, where there is war, there will be sacrifices, and Sun Quan does not want to start a war with the Cao army in such a hurry.

However, Sun Quan also understood that he was powerless to change Lu Bu's decision, when Lu Bu led the army to attack Yizhou, Sun Quan seemed to see this result, and this result was unfair to the Jiangdong army, in the face of the elite Cao army, the Jiangdong army still had a big gap, and it was extremely difficult for them to win the war on the battlefield in Jingzhou.

What worries Sun Quan the most is that there is a kind of speech in Jiangdong that can be described as very noisy, that is, Zhou Yu, the main general of the Jiangdong Army in Jiangxia, is a little dissatisfied with his rule, after Sun Quan took over the power in Sun Ce's hands, although he trusted Zhou Yu, but at such times, Jiangdong was in danger, and he needed Zhou Yu's help, of course, Sun Quan was a little afraid of Zhou Yu.

Over the years, Zhou Yu led the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army to win one war after another, and has a high prestige in the army, and when Sun Ce was there, he would not ask much about this situation, the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce is undoubted, the two are sworn brothers, and Sun Ce has absolute trust in Zhou Yu in terms of leading the troops to fight.
