Before the great war was approaching, all the princes in various places smelled the wind and grass, and sent a large number of scouts and spies to lurk in various places to inquire about the news. The www.biquge.info of Liu Xuewu's side gathered such a huge number of troops, and the news immediately spread all over the world. The princes who are far away show that they have nothing to do with themselves, while some people are like ants on a hot pot who are anxious. It's not so much about anything else, it's better to talk about Cao Pi, who is the biggest threat to him.

It is said that Cao Pi was originally gathering soldiers and horses, but before he could get ready, he received the news.

"Zhongda, why did you say that Liu Xuewu was so good, why did he gather 100,000 soldiers and horses in Bingzhou?" Cao Pi pretended to be puzzled and said.

Sima Yi knew Cao Pi's thoughts, which was nothing more than wanting to confront himself and Cao Shuang in order to balance the relationship rights of his subordinates. For this notoriously ruthless master, Sima Yi didn't dare to talk nonsense. Not only can you not offend Cao Shuang because of this, but also make the master satisfied, this is difficult to be a courtier. After thinking about it, he said with a smile with some trepidation: "Lord, although I'm not sure, I think it's probably for Yuan Shu to become the emperor!" ”

Although the answer is not certain, it also points out the general direction, so there is still some room for retreat. Sure enough, as Sima Yi expected, as soon as he finished speaking, Cao Shuang on the side spoke: "Why should the lord worry, didn't the spies say that Liu Xuewu only has 100,000 horses. It just so happens that we are now preparing to kill chickens and monkeys, if this Liu Xuewu doesn't know each other, we will cut him. ”

"What General Cao said is very true, but whether General Cao still remembers Liu Zhang in Luoyang, Liu Mao in Jizhou, and Liu Yan who has been sitting firmly in Diaoyutai." An official dressed as a scribe stepped forward in the crowd and asked rhetorically.

"This is also ah, if ******** besiege together, I'm afraid it will also be tricky." Cao Pi said a little melancholy.

"Don't worry, as the saying goes, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. Liu Zhang is nothing more than a brave and unscrupulous person, and Liu Mao is just a rabble. Hehe, that Liu Yan is as timid as a mouse, he has been living in Shuzhong, and now he is old and frail, I am afraid that he is beyond his strength. Cao Shuang stood up and said with a big bag.

The middle-aged scribe was also fearless, and shouted at Cao Shuang: "Can the general be better than the Yanmen in the past? ”

"Yang Xiu'er, you deceive me too much, watch and fight." was choked by Yang Xiu, and looked at the questioning gaze in everyone's eyes, Cao Shuang suddenly felt ashamed and embarrassed, and went crazy on the spot.

"What kind of system, this is still in front of Lonely, what are you waiting for?" After being shocked by Cao Pi's words, everyone quieted down. At the same time, Cao Pi looked at Yang Xiu's appearance of not being afraid of death, and he considered whether he could cultivate it as a political bargaining chip to balance Sima Yi and Cao Shuang.

Of course, Yang Xiu wouldn't know that he escaped the scourge of chicken ribs because of the butterfly effect brought about by Liu Xuewu's arrival in this time and space, and now he is inexplicably ready to be reused by Cao Pi.

And what about our Liu Dada, Liu Xuewu's side. In fact, he was not ready for any war, but just wanted to test his armed forces. Just like the leaders in the previous life, if you have something to do, you have to go to the grassroots troops to condole.

No, as soon as the 100,000 merge state troops were completed, Liu Xuewu set off for Youzhou again to inspect. These actions frightened the surrounding princes. Cao Pi learned that Liu Xuewu had no intention of sending troops, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. He himself knew that with his current strength, he would definitely not easily start a war with the Liu family. He was too passive, and he was surrounded by Liu Yan's family on almost three sides. At the same time, Liu Yan's family also deeply understands this truth, so the two sides can live peacefully in this strange environment.

And the strength gathered by the Yuan brothers in Yuzhou cannot be underestimated, so the chaotic Yangzhou is the best direction for Cao Pi now. As long as Yangzhou is taken and then marches into Jingzhou, Cao Pi will have the strength to confront Liu Yan and Jiangdong Sun Ce at that time. Cao Pi's spies had already found out that Liu Bei's department in Yangzhou was the most empty, with less than 20,000 soldiers and horses. In addition, Liu Bei has been defeated by Cao Pi's father Cao Cao several times, and Cao Pi is conceited and does not lose to his father. After repeated resolutions, Cao Pi still decided to send troops to Yangzhou and let Cao Shuang lead an army of 50,000 to the south. Sima Yi and his son were responsible for the logistics of grain and grass, appointed Yang Xiu as the supervisor of the army, and sat in the old nest by themselves, a picture of not giving up if they did not take Yangzhou.

This movement, this Cao Shuang also knows that the soldiers are fast. The 50,000 army was divided into three groups, the first batch was the vanguard, led by Cao Zhen, the general of Cao Shuang's department. The second batch is the Chinese army, with Cao Shuang personally in charge. The third batch is logistics, which is in charge of Sima and his son. Immediately set out in Xuzhou to sacrifice the flag, and the mighty army was launched, which directly alarmed all kinds of spies. Especially the people sent by the three parties in Yangzhou, these three families got the news, which can be described as happy and mixed. The happiest is, of course, Sun Quan, who is worried about how to find a breakthrough. At this moment, Cao Pi created a great opportunity for him. He didn't pay any attention to the 50,000 horses heading south, you know, he is now hoarding more than 100,000 elite soldiers in Changsha alone. 50,000 people are just here to deliver food, not to mention that there is a Liu Bei between him and Cao Pi's army. Just let Cao Pi and Liu Bei go to the death, and when the time is ripe, Sun Quan will send troops to seize Liu Bei's territory, and by the way, send Cao Pi to force Liu Qi to surrender.

And the most painful thing is Liu Bei, this is so good, Cao Pi, why are you attacking me. There's nothing to do when you're full. Isn't that a typical bully? Although 50,000 horses is not a lot, it depends on when, the current Liu Bei is in a difficult trough period. Originally, as long as he persisted for another year or two, coupled with Cui Zhouping's strategy, his situation would recover. It's a pity that God is not beautiful, and after waiting for several years, if it fails, it will really fall short.

And Cui Zhouping was not very worried about the sudden 50,000 horses, what he was worried about now was that Sun Quan or Liu Qi in the back suddenly attacked. Then he fell into a two-sided situation, compared to Liu Qi, who is a gentleman, Sun Quan, who is ambitious as a wolf, has to be guarded against. But what to defend now, there is a shortage of soldiers and food. Although in recent years, Cui Zhouping has ordered to accept displaced people from all over the country, adopt orphans, encourage childbirth, and implement soldiers. It can be said that it is a plan, but all this can not be done overnight.

And now is the most critical time, almost all the resources of Liu Bei's territory have been invested in it, and he has no power to fight again. said that all he could do, he was only barely able to support a war, but the next second and third battles were completely slaughtered.
