Chapter 580: Hidden Forces

Especially Cao Cao's car, the so-called six cars of the Son of Heaven, only the emperor's imperial car can have the specifications of six horses, and in front of Cao Cao's car, there are six horses openly standing at this time, this is obviously an arrogant move, but none of the people present dared to stand up and say a word.

Liu He didn't care much about this, and specially ordered someone to park the carriage next to Cao Cao's car, while he himself, with his hands behind his back and humming a small song, came to the viewing platform.

Compared with Liu He's subordinate status, Cao Cao and Sun Quan, who were princes of one party, did not get up to greet each other, but their eyes were always focused on Liu He.

They are waiting, and at the same time, they are also guessing, guessing how many chips Liu He will take out to participate in the war this time.

According to the rules set at the beginning, the amount of jade taken out by the three parties is not disclosed before the war, that is, only when the war starts, can we know how many troops the other two sides have invested in total.

Although Liu He's chips in his hands were the least, Cao Cao and Sun Quan knew that in this battle, the soldiers were fine but not many, and although Liu He's troops were small, in terms of combat power, they were obviously higher.

This also means that the maximum of 2,000 troops in Liu He's hands has become the key to the entire battle, and it also affects the decision-making of the other two parties, because until this time, there is still no news of an alliance between the Cao and Sun families.

Of course, Cao Cao is willing to unite with Sun Quan to destroy Liu He, but Sun Quan is not stupid, unless Liu He has an absolute advantage and can take down both Cao and Sun in one fell swoop, otherwise Sun Quan will never act rashly.

Sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, sitting on the fisherman's profit, this is the foundation of Dongwu's foothold, not to mention that the person in power in Dongwu at this time is still the most thorough implementation of this national policy Sun Zhongmou.

Before coming, Lu Su calculated the account for Sun Quan.

In this battle, Cao Cao won with many soldiers, and the strongest on Liu He's side was the ability to fight alone, in this kind of three-way combined, at most 18,000 people on the battlefield, Cao and Liu can be said to be evenly matched.

In contrast, Dongwu, which has always been the second oldest in 10,000 years, has fallen to the third position because it is inferior to Cao Cao in terms of quantity and inferior to Liu He in terms of combat power.

But it is precisely because the strength of Cao and Liu is equal that Dongwu, which is the weakest, has become the most critical party, as long as Dongwu is on whichever side, there will be a great chance of victory.

So what Sun Quan has to do is to stand still, let the two of them fight, and never make a move until the moment when they fight to the death and divide the winner.

Compared with Sun Quan's advance and retreat, Cao Cao, who has the largest territory and the most chips in his hand, can't sit still.

He even hoped that Liu He could come up with more troops so that he could join forces with Dongwu, but he was afraid that Dongwu would not only not save him when he died, but would also take the opportunity to sneak attack his rear.

Although there are all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, the two overlords who have gone through countless winds and waves can't see any emotional fluctuations on their faces.

After Liu He sat down, the head of the Zhao family was not verbose, and directly ordered someone to take three copper tripods and put them in front of Cao Cao, Sun Quan and Liu He respectively.

This is also the rule set in Xuchang at the beginning, before the war, the three parties will finally report the amount of jade, and they will each put it into the copper tripod in front of them, and there is no need to tell the other two parties the specific amount.

On the battlefield, there are many factors that affect the situation of the war, and the most important point is the gap in the strength of the two sides.

Although this battle seems to be like a chess game, in the final analysis, it is still a life-and-death battle, and it is understandable to keep your own forces secret.

The copper tripod was put away, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and then beckoned at the same time, and the entourage of the three people immediately walked up and took the copper tripod to the three independent rooms that had been prepared.

Needless to say, Cao Cao's entourage must be the tiger idiot Xu Chu who doesn't leave Cao Cao when he sleeps, Sun Quan brought the young Ameng that Liu He had seen a few days ago, and Liu He's side was the fifth Fajie in the world.

When the three entourages stepped forward, they also secretly competed, and the results were self-evident, the tiger idiot general who had rarely met opponents in the battlefield, after a little probing of Fajie's skills, was stunned, and the young man Amon next to him, except that his eyes were sharper than the other two, there was nothing to do.

Sitting in the center, the head of the Zhao family, who really saw the contest between the three of them, showed a subtle smile.

These three people are like the situation of the camp they represent.

Xu Chu was originally a famous general who had been famous for a long time, but in front of the little-known Fajie, he was still slightly inferior, not to mention that young Amon, just like his lord, he had already fallen into an embarrassing situation of not being able to climb high or low, but he had some strength, and at a critical moment, he might be able to set off a storm.

This delicate situation made the head of the Zhao family have a curiosity that he had never had before, and he really wanted to see what the outcome of this battle that had no one before and might never come again in the future would be.

Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu He, each got up and walked into their own rooms, ready for the last link before the battle began.

In the process, a small episode occurred.

From where the three of them sat to their respective rooms, they had to pass through a corridor that was not too wide to accommodate two people walking side by side.

Liu He, who was at the forefront at first, politely stood aside and let Cao Cao and Sun Quan over.

Although Liu He gave in, he could stand aside, and still occupied a position of one person, that is to say, Cao Cao and Sun Quan, only one person could go first.

It stands to reason that Cao Cao is the strongest and the oldest, and he is still Sun Quan's uncle, so he should have passed first, but Cao Cao followed Liu He's example and let Sun Quan go first.

What's even more unbelievable is that Sun Quan just nodded expressionlessly, and walked over generously, without even saying a kind word.

Cao Cao not only did not get angry because of this, but also smiled at Liu He on the side, and then followed Sun Quan and walked forward.

The road that could have allowed the two to walk side by side was connected by the three of them in a line, walking separately, and there was no intersection.

Looking at Liu He, who was walking last, the head of the Zhao family sighed softly, compared with the two people in front of him who were born to know how to weigh the pros and cons, the young man who followed them still looked too immature.

The immature young man, as if he sensed something, turned around, glanced at the head of the Zhao family with a smile, and then walked into his room.

As soon as he entered the house, Liu He immediately closed the door and asked nervously, "How is it?" Can you hear clearly? ”
