Cao Cao got nothing from Lü Peng, Lü Peng's economic blockade continued, allowing Cao Cao to return to the self-sufficient small peasant era, of course, he didn't expect his worst enemy to give him anything, as long as Lü Peng transferred the army oppressive along the Yellow River to the north, and relieving his own tight spell was already the greatest help to him.

Lu Peng suddenly shifted his target to the north, Cao Cao thought that it was the credit of his righteous son Yan Rou, but also when Lu Peng suddenly changed the strategic direction this time, making Cao Cao feel less pressure and relaxed, he also keenly judged that Sun Liu must take advantage of this opportunity to make a move on himself.

Cao Cao faced Lu Peng, that was Alexander, but in the face of Liu Bei and Sun Quan, he felt relaxed, don't look at the last war, Ma Chao stabbed himself hard, Liu Bei kicked himself, but fundamentally, and then Lu Peng gave Liu Bei a stick, beating Ma Chao back to his original form, Liu Bei still did not get Ma Chao's entire army, and in terms of overall strength, he could not be compared with himself.

Sun Quan looks aggressive, but the southerners are cowardly, and the combat effectiveness of Sun Quan's group has always been the kind of scum, they can only rely on the terrain to protect themselves, and they have no ability to make great achievements at all.

Now, we must take advantage of Lu Peng's time to go north and kill one of these two noodle dishes, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

So, Cao Cao also held meetings day and night to discuss pinching the soft persimmon first.

At the beginning of the congress, Cao Cao's group was divided into two factions, one of which insisted on starting with the weakest Sun Quan.

One faction resolutely advocated the destruction of Liu Bei, who bought straw sandals.

There are plenty of reasons for insisting on destroying Sun Quan.

Sun Quan dominates Jiangnan, but his real combat power is there, just in the last war, with Guo Jia alone, with the immature sailor to block him out of the house, and also took advantage of the situation to beat him to a disgraced face, for the defeat of his subordinates, everyone has an advantage psychologically.

At the same time, Jiangnan maritime trade is developed, and the amount of gold and silver introduced from overseas every year can be obtained, as long as the gold and silver of Jiangnan are obtained, you can implement Lu Peng's kind of gold standard backed by coinage in their own vast area, then they can completely get rid of Lu Peng's exploitation of their own side in coinage, so as to gain the initiative in the economy.

There is also the use of developed maritime trade, with the silk porcelain in the south of the Yangtze River (because of the invention of Lu Peng's coke, porcelain has appeared in the south of the Yangtze River in advance, and has begun to become a popular export market, and the new upstart of overseas goods outside the city) in exchange for their own scarce materials outside the territory, such as Roman steel, iron in Jiaozhou, lead and tin in the South Seas, etc., then completely broke the economic and material blockade of Lu Peng's own side.

Jiangnan is rich in grain, and after obtaining Jiangnan, his own grain problem will be solved immediately, and if he masters Jiangnan, he can immediately cut off the grain that Lu Peng urgently needs, which is a great thing that kills two birds with one stone.

The side that supports the crusade against Liu Bei believes that Liu Bei is a Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, and this Xiaoqiang always doesn't stop, always stalking with himself, he has become a maggot with his own back, and everyone has had enough of him. With his disgusting strength, he should take advantage of this time to destroy him and let out evil anger.

Of course, this is angry talk, and the fundamental reason is that Liu Bei, a mortal enemy, has no possibility of reconciling with himself at all, and he is just Si Li, Jingzhou, and now his development is simply flying at a flying speed, from the down-and-out parasitic fence, in just over two years, he surpassed Sun Quan and became the third in the world.

If his momentum is not suppressed, then Liu Bei will become one of the biggest threats to his group inexorably.

And although the elimination of Sun Quan has such and such benefits, his development is not big, two days early or two days late, and although he has a slight achievement in his own sailor, it is still different from Sun Quan.

First difficult and then easy, or easy first and then difficult, this is where the tangle lies.

But just when Cao Cao was undecided and was ready to fight against who to do, the sudden outbreak of war solved his problem, Liu Bei and Sun Quan united, divided into four ways and began to attack Cao Cao, who to fight who does not have to hesitate, the two must fight together.

When the matter came out, the idea was clear, so Cao Cao immediately ordered that Guo Jia still be sent with a sailor who was already a slight scale to block Sun Quan, and then Cao Cao personally led the main force to deal with Liu Bei.

The Great War of the Central Plains of the Three Kingdoms officially broke out.

Yuzhou assassin Zang Ba, is also a figure of the Three Kingdoms, born in the Yellow Turban, surrendered to Cao Cao, and in the previous wars that followed Cao Cao, repeatedly made military exploits, was appreciated by Cao Cao, because of the civil and military all-round power on the horse to govern the army, dismounted to manage the civil affairs, and was named the Yuzhou assassin by Cao Cao.

Originally, this position was very important, because Liu Bei was in Xinye at that time, and he was facing Yuzhou, so Zang Ba also knew that he had a heavy responsibility, and he was even more conscientious, suppressing Liu Bei from moving.

A decisive battle between Cao Cao and Lu Peng gave Liu Bei a chance, the army approached Xu Du, Xun Yu led the army to block Liu Bei, Zang Ba conscientiously ensured his logistics supplies, as a result, Ma Chao jumped out, completely messed up the layout, let Liu Bei occupy Xiangfan and Yingchuan, so that Yuzhou was no longer complete, and the governance office was also moved from Yangzhai to Xincai, relying on the Honghe River as a support, and strengthened the solid defense.

But even so, Zang Ba was absolutely not discouraged and afraid, and still resisted Liu Bei's attack to the death, protecting the safety of Yanzhou and Xuzhou behind him.

At the same time, in the last war, Yuzhou lost the two cities of Xiangfan and Yingchuan County, so with the consent of Cao Cao, Zang Ba moved the administrative office from Yangzhai to Xincai, and with the help of the fierce Honghe River as the backing, built a strong city defense, stored a large number of grain and grass equipment, and prepared for the future war.

During this period, Zang Ba was also ordered by Cao Cao to start the implementation of military camps, recultivating a large amount of land abandoned by the war, and achieving self-sufficiency in food in the first year.

Zang Ba was far-sighted, and did not become complacent because of his self-sufficiency in food, and he issued a very harsh order for soldiers, that is, each person must cultivate twenty acres of land under the condition of normal military training.

According to the output at that time, five acres of land could feed and clothe a soldier, and the remaining land output was surplus, and Zang Ba stored these surplus grains in various important places to prepare for future wars.

As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you don't panic in your heart, and in peacetime, everyone is a little harder, a little tired, and try to accumulate enough food, once the war starts, the soldiers will not panic about the lack of food.

The current situation is that Zang Ba has to face the attack of the entire Liu Bei Sili and Jingzhou in a semi-encircled state, and then face the resourceful Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao Huang Zhong, so he can only urgently ask Cao Cao for help.
