Two hundred and eighty-five Cao Cao's alliance with Sun Ce
Liu Zhang deliberately confuses himself in hiding clumsiness, which Cao Cao has already affirmed. It seems that Liu Zhang is not really stupid, he is just deliberately coaxing himself. By now, Cao Cao has understood that he must suppress Liu Zhang's development, at least before attacking Yuan Shao, he must suppress Liu Zhang's forces in Jingzhou and west of Runan, otherwise Liu Zhang will occupy the entire south silently when he attacks Yuan Shao, and he will be attacked by Liu Zhang on all sides......
Although the letter had been read, Cao Cao was still trembling with the letter. At this time, Xun Yu on the side asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with the lord?" What was there in the letter that surprised Cao Cao so much? Could it be that the entire Jiangnan region is all Liu Zhang's? Other than these, Xun Yu couldn't think of anything that would be enough to surprise Cao Cao so much.
Cao Cao silently handed the envelope to Xun Yu, who quickly took the envelope and looked at it carefully. At first, it was no different from what he thought, maybe it was possible that Yuan Shu was really vulnerable. As he looked behind, Xun Yu's expression became nervous. How many large ships were destroyed by an unknown weapon in an instant, six of them? The degree of cracking of the planks on the ship is simply terrifying, you must know that the planks of the big ship are not much worse than the wooden gates on the city wall, if there is such a thing, what other city gate in the world can defend against Liu Zhang?
At this moment, Xun Yu also thought of it, what is this kind of thing? Why does Liu Zhang have such a terrifying thing? If so, I'm afraid they are not Liu Zhang's opponents either. Whether it is a siege battle or a field encounter, Liu Zhang will have the upper hand. After some analysis, Xun Yu suddenly felt that Liu Zhang was a little scary.
Holding the letter, Xun Yu had already begun to think, but this made the rest of the people on the side very puzzled. Cao Cao saw it like this, and Lord Xun saw it like this? What exactly is written in that letter? For a while, these people's hearts were like cat scratches, but Cheng Yu couldn't help but ask, and then the envelope began to be delivered.
The atmosphere in the hall was a little weird, and none of them doubted whether the contents of the letter were true or false, and it was absolutely reliable. Lu Su looked at the appearance of everyone but said: "Ming Gong doesn't need to panic, that kind of weapon is very powerful, but it is only equipped by Liu Zhang." What's more, that kind of thing needs the cooperation of a giant crossbow, and if there is no giant crossbow, there is no need to be afraid. This is the result of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's observations.
Cao Cao nodded and said, "If it's this kind of thing, the field battle only needs to be dispersed, so don't be afraid." It seems that Liu Zhang doesn't have much of that kind of thing, as for you? Saying that, Cao Cao glanced at Lu Su and said, "What are you doing here?" Now Liu Zhang is not a threat to us, but you are in danger? "Cao Cao must know Lu Su's intention, but he must also know it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be very simple to form an alliance with him Cao Cao?
What kind of character is Lu Su? He smiled lightly and saluted and said: "The difference between Ming Gong's words, although Jiangdong and other places are nothing to Ming Gong, but if Ming Gong is occupied by Liu Zhang, is Ming Gong really not in a hurry?" At that time, Liu Zhang's threat to Ming Gong will be much greater. From Luoyang and other places, Nanyang and other places, Runan and other places, as well as Xuzhou and other places, Liu Zhang launched an all-out attack, and dared to ask Ming Gong how to resist? The location of the Ming Gong is located, and for Liu Zhang, he can attack from anywhere. Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves? When the time comes, Liu Zhang unexpectedly harasses Ming Gong, what should Ming Gong do? If the Duke of Ming occupied most of Jiujiang and Yuzhou, then Liu Zhang would only attack Xudu from Luoyang and other places, wouldn't it be much simpler? "Lu Su said that it was to make Cao Cao have a false impression of Liu Zhang.
Xun Yu said with a smile: "Zijing's words are different, then I'm afraid you don't know how many troops Liu Zhang has, right?" Even if he has such a sharp weapon, then Liu Zhang is only a few hundred thousand soldiers and horses, how can he attack from all sides? "This is simply unrealistic, if the forces are dispersed, then they can concentrate their superior forces and attack Chang'an directly.
Cao Cao didn't talk about this, but asked, "Zijing, how are you prepared?" "Even the league has to have a plan, at least a plan that looks good.
Lu Su said with a smile: "Ming Gong now has mastered Xuzhou, so why don't you occupy the nearby Jiujiang?" After getting Jiujiang, Ming Gong can also attack Lujiang. At that time, the Ming Gong can also occupy the vast majority of Yangzhou, and our army will assist the Ming Gong in the water war, contain all the main forces of the water army in Yuzhang, and prevent Liu Zhang from reinforcing Lujiang and other places. At that time, Ming Gong sat on Jiujiang and Lujiang. "Zhou Yu discussed with Lu Su at that time, there was no need to occupy Jiujiang and Lujiang. On the contrary, Yuzhang is extremely critical to them, and only by occupying Yuzhang can they have the opportunity to slowly occupy Jiujiang and other places.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said: "In this case, we will send troops in April, and when the time comes, I will directly enter Jiujiang from Xuzhou to prevent Liu Zhang from detecting, and we will take them by surprise." At this moment, Cao Cao's appetite is very big, he is no longer satisfied with just two counties, but has an interest in a place as big as Yuzhou. When the time comes, they will directly occupy Yuzhou, so they will no longer have to worry about Liu Zhang sneaking up on them from behind.
Lu Su returned the salute and said: "Since this is the case, then assist Ming Gong when I go back to prepare armaments next time." After the discussion, Lu Su went back impatiently, they were now afraid of Liu Zhang, and he was a little worried that Liu Zhang would attack Danyang directly.
After sending Lu Su away, Cao Cao really pondered: "It's terrible that this Liu Zhang is silent, we will send Xizuo to Chang'an to take a lay." It would be best to find out some news in Chang'an, and it would be best if some officials in Liu Zhang could be plotted against him. Cao Cao immediately arranged for it, ready to use money and other things to tempt.
"The lord must attack these places quickly, once Liu Zhang has a defense, our plan to occupy Runan will fail. In that kind of plain area, we are by no means the opponent of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Guo Jia said calmly, this time it is really a test of the ability to use soldiers.
Cao Cao nodded and said: "I am going to personally lead troops to attack Jiujiang and Lujiang, as for Runan and other places, let Xiaolian (Cao Ang's character) lead a group of men and horses to attack Shangcai and other places." At that time, our troops will inevitably be caught off guard by two routes, and if he rescues Lujiang and other places, then Runan will inevitably be lost. If he rescues Runan, then Lujiang, Yuzhang and other places will inevitably lose. "Cao Cao saw very clearly, Runan was far away when Jingzhou transferred troops, and I am afraid that it had already been captured. At that time, Cao Cao's garrison of Shangcai and Yunxian became a corner, and Liu Zhang had no possibility of going south.
The plan to attack was finalized one after another, and Cao Cao also recalled the full favor. At this time, it seems inopportune to send Liu Zhang, he can wait to occupy Liu Zhang's territory and make good will in alliance with Liu Zhang. When the time comes, Cao Cao will send Liu Zhang beauties and money, to see if Liu Zhang is really as rumored, or is he just lying to himself?
At that time, if Liu Zhang accepted his goodness, the alliance could continue. At that time, he promised to give Liu Zhang heavy profits in Yongzhou and other places, and when he occupied Jizhou, he was slowly cleaning up Liu Zhang under the strong strength. As long as the big strategy is not wrong, then Liu Zhang will definitely lose.
Cao Cao's plan is very good, at least the implementation of the perfect Liu Zhang will really be miserable. Of course, Liu Zhang at this time was very comfortable, and he didn't expect that Sun Ce would ask Cao Cao for help under great pressure. After all, Liu Zhang didn't attack Sun Ce, so Liu Zhang felt that Sun Ce shouldn't be looking for trouble. But in fact, Liu Zhang still underestimated the ancients' style of not standing under the dangerous wall, so Liu Zhang ......
Just after the Chinese New Year, Liu Zhang is going to find an excuse to visit Da Qiao today, and take the opportunity to take a look at Er Qiao. This pair of famous sisters in ancient and modern times, Liu Zhang feels that he has no problem looking at it twice. Anyway, I'm locked up with Erqiao, so why don't you take a look at it, lest I carry the black pot.
The next day, Liu Zhang's romantic verses spread throughout Anhui City, and Tongque Chun locked Er Qiao. Could it be that Liu Zhang wants to build a place for some kind of bronze sparrow and then take those two sisters in? But in the next few days, Liu Zhang didn't look for Xiao Qiao, which made many people feel that this was just a romantic gossip.
"Sister, I said, is that person just talking and playing with my sister? It has been rumored in the city for so long, but the general has never even gone out of his house. Xiao Qiao looked at the pastry in front of him, but this thing is not sweet, and the taste is not good when he bites into it.
Da Qiao glanced at his sister and said angrily: "People are royal relatives, and they are the generals in charge of one side, so it's normal to look down on us." "Speaking of which, did women in ancient times have no pursuit of men? This is completely impossible, ancient women also had requirements for men, but it is difficult to achieve at this point.
This is like the other party coming to the house to propose, if the woman is willing, she will say to her father, but it is up to the father, if she is unwilling, she will say that she wants to be filial for a few more years. This is actually a process of scrutiny, and Liu Zhang's identity, status, and personality are extremely suitable for the steady Da Qiao. Ancient women have been with such a man in their lives, and if they can meet someone in the picture, they are actually quite happy to be teased.
Xiao Qiao said with a smile: "That's General Liu, who has no eyes, my sister is so beautiful, she can do everything, but if she can't look at it, it's because that person's vision is problematic." Xiao Qiao felt that his sister was really perfect, but it was a pity that the father of the two sisters died too early, otherwise the family would not have declined.
The two women were chatting about their topic, and it was impossible for Liu Zhang, who was good to the people, powerful, and mild-mannered, to say that he was not interested. After all, it is a troubled time, and no one knows when the troubled times will end, if it can be protected by such a powerful figure, how safe it is?
