In Luoyang City, Cao Zhi sat on the throne that originally belonged to the emperor of the Han Dynasty at this time, and the courtiers who followed him to Luoyang to wait for his life were standing on the court of the Han Dynasty palace, as if Cao Zhi was already the Son of Heaven, indeed Cao Zhi was waiting for the result of this battle, once Yang Xiu lived up to his expectations and took down Nanyang and Xiangyang, the gateway towns of Jingzhou, then Cao Zhi could take advantage of this victory to claim the emperor directly in Luoyang, and move the capital to Luoyang or Xuchang, which is not far from Luoyang, The military center of gravity of Wei was further pushed to the south, putting more pressure on Liu Feng and Zhuge Liang.

But the premise of doing so is naturally that Yang Xiu can defeat Liu Feng and take the land of Nanyang and Xiangyang. But the first time the battle report came back, but Cao Zhi had to temporarily suppress those thoughts in his heart, 300,000 troops, within a dozen days lost as much as 60,000, how could such news make him happy, especially when he heard that Liu Feng's defenders in Wancheng only lost about 10,000, if it goes on according to this ratio, this war Yang Xiu fought until the last person came back, and he may not be able to eliminate Liu Feng's 50,000 defenders, and more importantly, Nanyang and Xiangyang, these two important places, So far, I haven't been able to hit a single one.

In the court, the ministers have already begun to doubt Yang Xiu's ability, the 300,000 army, facing Wancheng with only tens of thousands of defenders, has not made an inch of progress in these days, such a result cannot be doubted.

"According to Dezu's letter, at this time, several of them have already arranged a plan, just waiting for Liu Feng's plan, if this matter is successful, it will definitely be able to make Liu Feng's main defenders lose most of it, although our army is somewhat damaged at this time, but it is also within the scope of bearing, I will wait for some more time to see if Dezu can give me some surprises......"

Cao Zhi temporarily suppressed the opinions of the ministers in the court, and his heart was also quite nervous, up to now, he had already regretted that Sima Yi was demoted by three levels because of a matter of Yingchuan Geng's family, he couldn't help but guess that if the leader of this battle was replaced by Sima Yi, then what kind of result would be obtained at this time, at the same time, Cao Zhi was also secretly glad in his heart that he did not do things absolutely, if he really expelled Sima Yi from the court as Yang Xiu said, once Yang Xiu could not succeed in the future, It would be difficult to find Sima Yi to come back and save it.

In short, whether it is in Cao Zhi's heart or in the hearts of the hundred officials of Wei State, this 300,000 army, this war is Yang Xiu's only chance, as the largest force in China today, we must not let a person who cannot fight a tough battle control the military power.

And Zhuge Liang, who has been silent in Jiangdong for a long time, is also sitting in the position where Sun Quan was originally sitting in Jianye at this time and looking at the battle report from the front, the land of Nanyang is not far from Jiangdong, and Zhuge Liang has also paid a lot of price for his troops after seizing Jiangdong, he always pays attention to the movements of the army of Liu Feng and Cao Zhi's forces, lest they take themselves as targets first, but now it seems that such a situation has not appeared, whether it is Cao Zhi or Liu Feng, Obviously, they don't want to waste time in a territory like Jiangdong, because as long as they destroy another strong enemy, it will only be a matter of time before they capture Jiangdong.

In such a crack, Zhuge Liang survived carefully, he knew that his only chance might be that Liu Feng and Cao Zhi were caught in a difficult tug-of-war, and he didn't want to see any one-sided battle, because that would accelerate the demise of one of them, and he would probably follow in the footsteps of the losing side before he could grow stronger.

At this time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Guan Yu was guarding west of Jiangdong in case there was a change in Jingzhou, and all the elite sailors in Jingzhou were stationed not far from Jiangdong, which made it difficult for Guan Yu to get out; And Zhang Fei is to prevent Cao Zhibing from going out of Hefei, but according to the situation at this time, this possibility is not very large, so Zhang Fei's task is easier, at this time, he is in Jianye City.

"Yide thinks, who can win this battle, Yang Xiu and Liu Feng?" After Zhuge Liang arrived in Jiangdong, although he also used his brother Zhuge Jin's previous connections in Jiangdong to absorb many of the young courtiers in Jiangdong that he fancied into his command, but at this time, after all, it was still a short time for him to seize Jiangdong, and there was one thing that few people knew, that is, Sun Quan and Lu Meng did not appear in the encirclement and suppression after Zhuge Liang broke the city, as for where the two fled to, Zhuge Liang was not sure at this time, so once there was anything important, Or the courtiers he brought from Jingzhou are trustworthy people.

At this time, Zhang Fei was looking at the battle report, and after reading it, he sighed in a low voice and said: "If it is based on the usual theory, the victory or defeat of this 300,000 army against Liu Feng's 70,000 or 80,000 defenders is obvious, but Liu Feng is already different from the past, plus Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and other virtuous generals, I really don't know what kind of strategy he can come up with, how can you command this 300,000 army, in my opinion, Cao Zhi is afraid that this time Cao Zhi will suffer heavy losses......"

After all these years of Zhuge Liang's mention, Zhang Fei is no longer the previous Zhang Fei, he often has his own opinions on some battles, obviously, Zhang Fei's eyesight and level at this time are much stronger than Yang Xiu.

Zhuge Liang listened to Zhang Fei's words, bowed his head slightly, to show his approval of Zhang Fei's words, and at the same time said to himself: "At this time, Cao Zhi's troops and territory are far ahead of Liu Feng, but Liu Feng sits on the dangerous cities of Hanzhong and Jingzhou and other places, if it is properly guarded, it will not be immediately defeated by Cao Zhi, this time Cao Zhi will take Sima Yi's military power, and entrust Yang Xiu with a heavy responsibility, it is obviously a self-destruction of the Great Wall, even if he can realize his mistake in the future, the loss of two or three hundred thousand troops is inevitable, But Liu Feng can take this opportunity to close the gap with Cao Zhi, which is a good thing for me Jiangdong......"

"Although the military advisor can rest assured, my second brother and I have already sent reliable people and are actively recruiting troops in Jiangdong, once there is a chance in the Central Plains, we can send troops to the north in two or three years!" Obviously, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu have already begun to prepare for the future.

"The first priority at this time is to find the traces of Sun Quan and Lu Meng, if we don't know the whereabouts of the two of them, we will not be stable in Jiangdong after all......"
