Cao Cao's victory in Hanzhong can be said to be surprisingly fast, from the post-war summary, how difficult it is to break through the gap between Qinling and Bashan Cao Cao actually knows in his heart, so although Cao Cao gathered 300,000 troops in Shangyong, and made a big momentum to advance to Hanzhong, but this still can't hide that this road army is a disguise, just want to transfer Zhang Lu to lead the main force out of Yangping Pass, for Xiahou Yuan's sudden return and Yang Song's rebellion to create conditions.

When the news of Zhang Lu's surrender reached Wuling, Zhuge Song was sitting alone in the inner hall, and after reading the battle report, he used a brush to draw on a large piece of paper the situation of the two armies before Cao Cao and Zhang Lu fought and a series of developments that followed, until Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan trapped Zhang Lu in a desperate situation and Zhang Lu surrendered.

He was deeply shocked by Cao Cao's largesse in using 300,000 troops but only as bait. Before, Zhuge Song thought that he was from the future world, and he was familiar with the causes and consequences of many battles in the Three Kingdoms period and the true thoughts of both sides, and he was proud of the previous small victories against Wu, thinking that he now had a county, as long as he reorganized the armament and trained one or two thousand elite soldiers, he could send troops to Nanjun at a critical moment in the future to smash the sneak attack plan of the Wu soldiers, so that Liu Bei would not lose Jingzhou, and the revival of the Han dynasty would be expected.

But when Cao Cao subdued Zhang Lu in this way, Zhuge Song finally realized that the situation in the Three Kingdoms was changing rapidly, although he had relied on his own strength to speed up the pace of Liu Bei's capture of Shu, which also increased Liu Bei's time to expand his military power in disguise. But what followed, it was Sun Quan who won Yizhou in advance because of Liu Bei, and with the battle for Liu Bei in Jingzhou in advance!

And not only the battle for Jingzhou was advanced, but with the confrontation between Liu Bei and Sun Quan in Jingzhou, Cao Cao took advantage of Liu Bei's main force to transfer the main force to Jingzhou, and the time to capture Hanzhong was also greatly advanced, coupled with Sun Quan's attack on Shouchun in advance after getting half of Jingzhou, the general trend of the entire Three Kingdoms inevitably changed!

On the surface, the major battles of the Three Kingdoms period seem to be following the previous trajectory except for the advance, but in fact, although the general trend has not changed except for the advance of the process, the impact on the three parties is self-evident.

First of all, Cao Cao, now it has only been more than four years since his defeat in Chibi, which means that his time to recuperate after the war is shorter than in history, but don't forget that in addition to the loss of many soldiers in Jingzhou, the grain and grass materials were captured from the Jingzhou army before, and most of his supplies in the north are still well kept at home. The main general did not have any deaths, in fact, as long as he recruited enough troops from Hebei, he would restore his strong strength, plus he did not lose anything in this attack on Hanzhong because of the conspiracy, but captured a large amount of materials in Hanzhong and absorbed nearly 50,000 troops from Zhang Lu, so it was more beneficial for him to capture Hanzhong two years ahead of schedule than to capture it two years later.

Speaking of Sun Quan, the current situation for Sun Quan is equivalent to getting half of Jingzhou from Liu Bei in advance compared with history, that is, expanding his strength in advance, and getting two more years of taxes from Jiangxia, Changsha and Guiyang. His morale was high after the new Eastern Wu army took advantage, and of course he was about to deal with Cao ****, which was also a good thing for Liu Bei.

Finally, Liu Bei said that Shuzhong has suffered a lot less damage now than in history because the war time has been greatly shortened, but this does not mean that he does not need time to pacify and consolidate power. And Jingzhou, in fact, is also the most affected Guan Yu, because he has two years less time to expand the armament in Jingzhou, so his current strength has not exceeded 30,000, less than half of the 60,000 troops he can use when he launched the Xiangfan Battle in history. In other words, with Guan Yu's current strength, it is impossible to launch a war against Cao's army in Xiangyang like in history to share the pressure on Liu Bei's attack on Hanzhong!

Of course, this is not bad for Zhuge Song, Guan Yu does not attack Xiangyang, Sun Quan will not have a chance to sneak attack Nanjun, and Jingzhou has become safe.

In the following time, in addition to continuing to train soldiers and accumulate materials, Zhuge Song repeatedly studied every detail of Cao's army's operations in Hanzhong, and tried to provide some help for possible future operations against Cao.

However, just when the battle of Hanzhong had not been fully studied by Zhuge Song, Sun Quan finally prepared at the mouth of the water, and the news of the beginning of sending troops to Hefei reached Wuling again.

Because of its unique geographical location, Hefei made it an important stronghold for Cao Wei to defend the northward movement of Eastern Wu. Hefei has convenient transportation, the waterway leads to the Huai River in the north, the Yangtze River in the south, it is already the distribution center of the waterway and goods in the north and south in the Han Dynasty, to the Three Kingdoms, from the offensive point of view, Cao Cao wants to cut down Sun Quan from Hefei Yuechao Lake, Hefei is an important logistics supply base. The south of Hefei controls Chaohu Lake, and at the east end of Chaohu Lake, there is a strip of water (now Yuncao River), which runs southeast from Chaoxian County and flows to the north of Wuhu Lake into the Yangtze River. Cao Wei was based in Hefei, and at any time he could divert boats from the Huai River to Chaohu Lake to assemble and prepare, and then enter the Yangtze River from Weixu to attack Wu. Soochow had to put water in the water danger to set up a dock in order to prevent Cao Wei's sailors from going south into the river, which is the origin of the famous wet beard mouth. Sun Quan's attack on Hefei was to push the front line there, with Hefei as the northern barrier and Chaohu Lake as the base of the water division, and if necessary, let the water division enter the Huai River north to attack Wei.

After the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan repeatedly attacked Hefei, and when Cao Cao's reinforcements arrived, he had to withdraw his troops.

This time, Sun Quan personally led the naval army out of the Yangtze River, entered the mouth of Anhui, traced the Anhui River, and attacked the city of Anhui. Lü Meng recommended Gan Ning as the governor of the city to supervise the siege troops, and he himself sent the elite to follow up. Gan Ning held a chain in his hand, personally led the army to climb the city, bravely took the lead, and then broke through the Anhui city. Captured Taishou Zhu Guang, Dong He, and tens of thousands of men and women. Zhang Liao's reinforcements went to Jiashi, and when he heard that the city of Anhui had fallen, he was forced to retreat.

After taking Anhui City, Sun Quan only repaired for one day, and then led an army of 50,000 to Hefei, intending to seize Hefei while Cao Cao's army was still in Shangyong, and establish a base for attacking Xuzhou.

The defenders of Hefei only had more than 7,000 people, and Zhang Liao recruited dead soldiers among the 7,000 people, selected 800 people, and slaughtered cattle and feasted on the soldiers. In the early morning of the next day, wearing armor and holding halberds, leading these 800 people to kill the troops that had not yet been formed at the beginning of Sun Quan's arrival, Zhang Liao led the team to rush into the camp of the Eastern Wu Army, personally killed dozens of people, beheaded two generals, and shouted: Zhang Liao is here! The death squad rushed straight into Sun Quan's main formation, Sun Quan was shocked, and he didn't know what to do, so the left and right guards hurriedly hugged Sun Quan and retreated to the small mound, pointing to the Cao army around with a halberd to defend the swarming Cao army. Zhang Liao roared under the mound, asking Sun Quan to fight to the death, Sun Quan did not dare to make a move, from the early morning to noon, the original high morale of the Wu army soldiers was weakened, Zhang Liao then led the army back to the city, and prepared to defend the city. The Wei army won the first battle, the army's morale was greatly boosted, and the generals were also convinced of Zhang Liao.

After Sun Quan's army arrived, he launched a siege operation. Who knows that Hefei City was under the active construction of Liu Fu, the former Yangzhou Thorn History, and the city wall was high and strong, and there were many defensive equipment such as wooden pillars and stones. The generals couldn't beat it for more than ten days in a row, Lü Meng, Zhuge Jin, Gan Ning and others couldn't think of any clever plan to break the city, the epidemic in the army, plus Cao Cao's army had returned to Xuchang at this time, Yu Bande, who stayed in Runan, led 20,000 people to come to the rescue of Shouchun first, and it didn't make sense to fight, Sun Quan had to order the class to return to the court.

The next thing can be guessed without passing back to Zhuge Song, that is, Zhang Liao chased and killed Sun Quan all the way, killed the Wu soldiers and defeated them, and only collected the troops back to the city until Xiaoyaojin, which severely damaged the morale of the Wu soldiers, and at this time, Yu Ban's reinforcements had not yet arrived in Hefei.

In this context, Fa Zheng proposed advice to Liu Bei to take Hanzhong, and Liu Bei gladly adopted his advice, leaving Kong Ming and Zhao Yun to guard Chengdu, leading 50,000 troops into Jiameng Pass, and converging with Huang Zhong, Ma Chao and other generals who had been waiting there for a long time to prepare for the attack on Hanzhong.
