Chapter 542: The World Shakes
Half a month later,
The news of Liu Wei's victory in the Northern Expedition to Mongolia spread throughout the Han Dynasty, and the princes had different thoughts.
Yanzhou,
"I didn't expect Liu Biao to have such ability, a certain wish was to engrave the tomb of General Zhengxi of the Han Dynasty on the tombstone after death, but I didn't expect him Liu Biao to complete his lifelong wish first." After Cao Cao learned the news, he sighed at these generals under him.
"My subordinates didn't expect that more than ten years ago, that immature young man has grown to the point where he is now." Cao Ren also sighed, Cao Ren still remembered that more than ten years ago, Liu Wei was still a dignified, gentle and generous King Hongnong, but now, after more than ten years, he has become a cold-blooded emperor who dominates the side.
"Jing Luo, I'm sorry for you!" Cao Cao looked at Wang Meng, who was in a depressed mood and had a sad face, and said with self-reproach.
"Where is the lord, the evil can die for Yanzhou, and it is his blessing to be able to die for the lord, his subordinates have already told him the danger of this matter, and he also knows very well that now he can't complain about others when he dies in Youzhou." Wang Meng replied.
"Don't worry, Jingluo, I'll go to Youzhou to ask for an explanation." Cao Cao comforted.
"My lord, don't do it!" Wang Meng immediately persuaded.
"Why?" Cao Cao was puzzled, in Cao Cao's opinion, Wang Meng loved his wonderful nephew very much, and now that his nephew was dead, he didn't even have the meaning to ask for an explanation, which made Cao Cao puzzled.
"My lord, Wang Zhenwei participated in the rebellion, even if we don't recognize Liu Wei as the emperor, but Liu Wei is a royal family after all, and he has bad intentions for the royal family, this is a great crime of rebellion, and his subordinates think that the people in Youzhou may soon come over to ask for an explanation." Wang Meng explained.
"What do you think?" Cao Cao looked at Wang Meng.
"There are two paths to take!" Wang Meng replied.
"I want to hear about it!"
"First, meet the conditions proposed by Youzhou, and second, go to the opposite side with Youzhou and Liu Bian." Wang Meng replied.
"My lord, my subordinates think that we have no way out, and we can only go to the opposite side of Youzhou." Xi Zhicai said at this time.
"Why is that?" Cao Ren immediately asked, like Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others, they didn't want to go to the opposite side of Liu Wei early, you must know that their gang was saved by Liu Wei and Luo Cheng at the beginning.
"Youzhou's conditions will definitely be handed over to Jingluo, will you agree?" Xi Zhicai stared at Cao Cao, hoping that Cao Cao could give a satisfactory answer.
"It seems that I, Cao Cao, am destined to become an opponent with him and Liu Wei in advance." Cao Cao sighed.
"The lord's words are wrong, our army and Youzhou will not become opponents for the time being, and the reason why Youzhou will come to Yanzhou is just to have a justifiable premise in the future. Now his next target in Youzhou will be Si Li, to be exact, the one from Chang'an. Xi Zhicai mentioned.
"Zhicai, what I said is, if you say who is the orthodoxy in the world today, it is not Liu Bian, Liu Xie cannot, but Liu Biao dominates one side, but Liu Xie is coerced, as long as Liu Xie is in the hands of Liu Bian, then there is only Liu Bian in the orthodoxy of the world, righteousness in hand, plus Liu Bian's strength, then half of the world is in his hands, and his subordinates think that it will not be long before Liu Biao may send troops to the division." Cheng Yu said approvingly.
"So what do you think our army should do next?" Cao Cao looked at his subordinate Wen Wu.
"The lord, his subordinates think that the lord should take Jiangdong into his pocket, Jiangdong is a rich land, and there are natural dangers to rely on, as long as Jiangdong is won and traverses the north and south, our army will be invincible." Guo Ziyi said solemnly,
"Lord, it is imperative to take Jiangdong." Wang Meng persuaded.
"Okay, then let's take Jiangdong in one fell swoop!" Cao Cao was persuaded by everyone to decide to take Jiangdong.
"This time, a certain personally led the troops to the expedition, Guo Ziyi, Yu Ban stayed in Yanzhou, Cao Bin and Cao Wei stayed in Xuzhou, and the rest of the generals followed a certain to attack Jiangdong." Cao Cao said in a solemn voice.
"No!"
……
Chang'an, in Yangguang Mansion,
Now Yang Guang's control of Chang'an, Si Li's control is getting stronger and stronger, and the nobles of various families are constantly suppressed by him, it can be said that as long as Yang Guang does not die, the families will have no future, speaking of which Yang Guang has the point where he is now, thanks to Dong Zhuo, if it were not for Dong Zhuo's brutal and bloody way to the other party these nobles, how could Yang Guang suppress those families so easily, the gate valve.
"Where do the three gentlemen think Liu Wei's next plan is?" Yang Guang asked.
Sitting with Yang Guang were Jia Xu, Gao Gong, and Lü Buwei.
"I and a few others agreed that Liu Wei would challenge me in Chang'an and you, the lord, in the next step." Gao Gong smiled.
"Since all three gentlemen think so, there must be no doubt about it." Yang Guang nodded and replied.
"I wonder what the three gentlemen have to plan to deal with the invading enemy?" Yang Guang asked.
"It is recommended that the lord first solve the enemy in Yuzhou, otherwise when Liu Wei's army arrives, he will be distracted to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang, which will be dangerous." Gao Gong suggested.
"That's right, if someone else's lord can join forces with him to fight against Liu Bian, but then the Zhu family is full of people who are punished by the lord, Zhu Yuanzhang and the lord have a common enmity, and he joins forces with the lord to deal with Liu Bian, whether he wins or loses, he is not profitable, so he is afraid that he hopes that the lord will lose to Liu Bian." Lu Buwei said.
"Now Liu Bian's northern expedition to Mongolia, and the scourge of rebellion, unable to move troops within two years, take this opportunity to destroy Yuzhou and Cao Cao first, resist Liu Bian, if successful, you can occupy Nanyang and plot Jingzhou." Gao Gong planned for Yang Guang.
"Cao Cao has an extremely close relationship with Liu Wei, and if he unites with him, will he agree?" Yang Guang hesitated.
"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, it is impossible for Cao Cao not to understand, after we are destroyed, then he will be him, unless he gives up everything and takes refuge in Liu Bian, but even if he takes refuge in Liu Bian, his life will not be saved, and he will not take refuge in Liu Bian, if he wants to take refuge in Liu Bian, Cao Cao will have taken refuge a long time ago." Gao Gong replied.
"As far as my subordinates know, one of the people in the chaos in Yanjing this time is Cao Cao's person, with Liu Wei's character, he will definitely go to Cao Cao to get married, and Cao Cao will never agree, and there will be no good feelings between the two." Lu Buwei also said.
"What does Mr. Jia think?" Yang Guang set his sights on Jia Xu, who he trusted and relied on the most.
"The two of them are right, but there are unpredictable circumstances, there are no absolutes in anything, and the most important thing is to be improvised." Jia Xu said.
"What Mr. said is extremely true, then according to what several gentlemen said, destroy Zhu Yuanzhang and Cao Mengde, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth."
……
Jingzhou,
Jingzhou is still Liu Biao's world on the surface, but as Liu Biao gets older, his body is not as good as day by day, and the two sons are not successful, Jingzhou is already in danger of differentiation, with the Cai family and the Kuai family as the head of the family forces, with Huang Zu, Liu Pan, Han Baohu, Huang Zhong as the head of Liu Biao's lineage forces, and with Liu Bei as the head of the foreign forces.
Among them, Liu Bei's power in recent years can be said to be the most smooth, the most comfortable, Liu Bei with his proud Liu identity, as well as his three-inch incorruptible tongue, won Liu Biao's trust and favor, now Liu Bei is no longer just a small person who controls a city, has been transferred by Liu Biao three years ago to Jiangxia County guard.
With his own name, Wei Zheng's ability, and Mi's money, Jiangxia was taken care of by Liu Bei, and he was richer than ever, and Liu Bei's prestige in Jiangxia had reached the point of second place in Liu Biao.
Coupled with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Shi Jiantang, Shi Jingsi, the existence of these fierce generals, and the soldiers and horses in Liu Bei's hands have developed vigorously, and there are already nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses in hand. However, Liu Bei is a northerner, and there are no good generals who are good at water, so there is no strong naval army under him.
After Liu Biao heard the news, he was even more excited, and even had the idea of bowing down to Liu Bian, but he was stopped by the family in Jingzhou and Liu Bei, and finally it was stopped.
Jiangdong's Sun family also got the news, but Sun Quan didn't care, what he cared about was that Sun Shangxiang was going to marry and marry Liu Wei's prince.
This news was sent by Tang Wan after Liu Wei returned to Beijing, and the arrival of this news made Sun Quan see hope.
