For the war in Jingzhou, not only Guan Yu is paying attention, Cao Cao in Xuzhou is also paying close attention, although he has now lost his enterprising spirit, but that is also because Liu He's strength is too strong, and at the same time the Japanese country is too wild and remote, resulting in the reason why the road to progress is blocked, now as soon as I heard that Liu He and Sun Quan were at war, I felt that it was possible to fish in troubled waters and seize the land of Jiangdong, so he immediately ordered Cao Ren to reorganize the soldiers and horses, build warships, and once the Jiangdong army was empty, immediately send troops to Qu'a and occupy the land of Jiangdong.

"No!" In fact, seeing that Cao Cao had been depressed in recent years, Cao Ren's heart was very worried, for fear that Cao Cao would die of depression like Liu Bei, but when he saw Cao Cao's ambition rise again, he completely put his mind at ease, went all out to build warships and equipment, and once the opportunity came, he immediately occupied the land in Jiangdong.

In fact, at this time, what instructions did Cao Cao, who was paying attention to the battle situation in Jingzhou? There are also two talents who live in seclusion at home are also paying close attention, one of them is Sima Yi, who is in Cao Cao and was rewarded with a false name as a lieutenant, but is actually "recuperating" at home.

Because of the ability he showed at the beginning, especially the wolf Gu Zhi made Cao Cao feel jealous, so since he arrived in Xuzhou, he was actually dismissed, at the same time, Cao Cao also asked people to closely monitor Sima Yi, once this person showed any dissatisfaction, he was killed immediately, but Sima Yi has been very responsible in recent years, so Cao Cao gradually put his mind at ease.

When he learned that Cao Cao was ready to send Cao Ren to seize Jiangdong, he secretly laughed in his heart, because he believed that Cao Cao would not succeed, this time Liu He would definitely make Cao Cao completely desperate, and Cao Cao, who had completely lost hope, could only follow Liu Bei's old path in the future, and as long as Cao ** went and Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, then his opportunity would come.

"The old guy who doesn't measure himself, it's difficult to protect himself, and he still thinks about seizing Jiangdong, the more ambitious you are, the faster you'll die, and you're as cunning as you are, you can't even think of this, and it's really a fool and a fool."

Only in the dark night did Sima Yi's eyes, which looked a little dim, regain their original brilliance and become cold and profound.

And the other person is not as calm as Sima Yi, this person is Zhuge Liang who lives in seclusion in the countryside of Chengdu.

He also paid close attention to the situation in Jingzhou, although Guan Yu was his political enemy, but he also hoped that Guan Yu could make the right decision and let Yizhou's power further develop and grow, but when he heard that Guan Yu was preparing to flank Zhou Yu with Liu He's Jingzhou army, he suddenly became less calm and relaxed.

"If we really do this, even if we can finally defeat Zhou Yu, what if we finally recover the entire Yizhou and the territory west of Wuling? After all, it is difficult for the lost soldiers to be effectively replenished in the short term, and if you want to defeat Zhou Yu, it is estimated that our army will have to pay at least 30,000 elites, and once the 30,000 elites are lost, what ability do we have to block Liu He's attack? At that time, there is no need for Liu He to lead the army to attack closely, only he needs to Chen Bingguomen, and we only have one way to surrender, how can General Guan be so confused? Well, this must be the idea that Liao Li came up with, I knew that there must be something wrong with this person, but it's a pity that until now, I haven't been able to find evidence of his collaboration with the enemy. ”

When Liao Li was originally in Luoyang, he just pretended to be Liu Yu's scholar, he was very low-key, and no one would know him, and later Liao Li fled back to Liu He's army and reported to Liu He that Liu Yu was "killed", and only a few people saw it, and these people who saw it were Liu He's cronies, and it was impossible for anyone to leak the news, so even if Zhuge Liang tried his best to investigate, he could only investigate the situation after Liao Li entered Sichuan, as for all the clues before Liao Li entered Sichuan, It's all interrupted for some reason.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhuge Liang has not been able to find any evidence of Liao Li's collaboration with the enemy, and can only judge through Liao Li's decisions and his inability to see through the attributes of the other party, especially loyalty, this person should be sent by Liu He.

However, Zhuge Liang is only skeptical now, even if he tells Guan Yu about this inference, Guan Yu, who is now relying on Liao Li very much, will definitely not believe it.

Although he knew that he had written such a letter, Guan Yu would not believe it, but Zhuge Liang couldn't bear the Shu army going astray after all, so he still wrote a long letter to Guan Yu, persuading Guan Yu not to listen to slander and lead the army to attack Zhou Yu's army.

Guan Yu read Zhuge Liang's letter, was silent, and felt that what Zhuge Liang said made some sense, so he handed the letter to Liao Li, wanting to hear Liao Li's opinion.

But seeing Liao Li said with a wry smile: "I knew that Mr. Zhuge would definitely say this, to tell the truth, if according to Mr. Zhuge did, our army will indeed be able to recover the southern counties of Yizhou, and finally succeed in realizing the strategy of separating one side, if the goal of the prince is only to divide one side, then I don't have to say it again, but if the prince still wants to welcome the Son of Heaven and revive the Han Dynasty, he must do what the lower official said, because once General Guan goes south, the Duke of Qin will definitely find a way to seize Jiangdong, Jiaozhou and the four counties of Jingnan, at that time, Our army was confined to the land of Yizhou, and it was impossible to attack Xuzhou, and the advantages and disadvantages of the two strategies were already placed here, and what to do was decided by the general. ”

Liao Li's words are too poisonous, it can be said that he captured the most distinctive and initially fragile point of Guan Yu's character, or it stimulated Guan Yu's most sensitive nerve, this distinct character is loyalty.

Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang, even different from Liu Bei, they had the idea of separating one side at the beginning, and Guan Yu's ambition was to completely restore the Han Dynasty, it was precisely because of this that he refused to marry Sun Quan, a rebellious minister and thief who betrayed the Han Dynasty, and it was precisely because of this that he would surrender to Cao Cao in the name of surrendering to the Han and not to Cao, and he would care so much about the "Hanshou Pavilion Marquis" canonized by the imperial court, so that Zhang Fei was later named the "Xixiang Marquis" at the level of the Xianghou, and Guan Yu was still the "Hanshou Pavilion Marquis" at the level of the Pavilion Marquis.

Therefore, it was precisely because of the sense of responsibility for reviving the Han dynasty that Guan Yu did not hesitate at all, and immediately made up his mind to do what Liao Li suggested.

Zhuge Liang, who heard the news, sighed, and his heart was even more worried, but there was no way.
