In the fifteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao was defeated at Yangpingguan in Hanzhong. (Pinyin for biqi u)

Guan Yu lost the Yangtze River Zigui County.

Zhou Budo finally blended into Ma Chao's camp.

At the beginning, Ma Chao saw that Zhou Budo was young, although he had the experience of studying at the Military Academy of Chenhe University, but after all, he had no experience, and he was expelled from the school, so he only made a literary seal.

Giving Zhou Budo a literary seal position is already considered lucky, mainly considering that there is indeed a lack of talents in the Western Regions, Ma Chao made an exception to make an exception.

But only a month later, Ma Chao looked at Zhou Budo differently.

It's gold that always shines.

As soon as Zhou Budo made a move, he instructed Ma Chao to make a flying ball.

This is what Ma Chao dreams of.

In the second month, Zhou Budo dispensed black powder for Ma Chao!

This frightened Ma Chao for a moment, and even the three brothers Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Ma Dai came to curry favor with Zhou Budo and have a relationship with this literary seal.

As for Pang De, he was secretly rejoicing, and even said to Ma Chao in private: "The general has Zhou Yuanzhi, and he can reach half of Liangzhou!" ”

Ma Chao said: "If you get Yuan Zhi early, why would you lose Tongguan, I'm afraid that Guanzhong will fall into my hands." ”

In the third month, Zhou Budo led a battalion, discovered iron ore at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and began to build an iron and steel plant.

Ma Chao wondered, could it be that the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce was so powerful?

casually expelled a student, he has such a skill, and he even can design a steel blast furnace!

Ma Chao didn't know that Zhou Budo's talent, compared with Zhuge Liang, was only high, not low, at least an order of magnitude.

But what is more terrifying about Zhou than Zhuge Liang is that he received the most advanced education at this time since he was a child, and he is the top of the pyramid among all students.

Five months later, Zhou Budo became the first national teacher of the Western Regions.

Zhou Budo's first move after becoming a national teacher was to build a new royal city and name it the Great Western Regions City.

The Great Western Regions City is located on the Tarim River.

Ma Chao was extremely excited, according to the plan given to him by Zhou Budo, he actually built the royal city while carrying out changes according to the methods of the Great Xianbei City.

Under the suppression of absolute military strength, all undertakings were carried out in an orderly manner.

Cao Cao didn't know Ma Chao's transformation, because the distance was too far, the jade door was locked, the inside and outside were blocked, the news was blocked, and they didn't communicate with each other.

Cao Cao was busy contacting the princes of all walks of life at this time, first officially cousin Sun Quan for the Jiaozhou Assassin History, and recognized the existence of Zhongnan County, and a month later, he expressed Sun Quan's Zhongnan Assassin History, and made the imperial court Zhongnan Assassin History seal.

Sun Quan gladly accepted, at least superficially, as a courtier.

Gongsun Kang, who originally ignored Cao Cao, even accepted Cao Cao's Liaodong Assassin Shi Seal at this time, and officially designated Liaodong as a state.

As for Liu Bei, he took the initiative to send an envoy to contact Cao Cao, please be the pastor of Yizhou, Cao Cao was very happy to give recognition, and reaffirmed Liu Bei's position as the left general.

Cao Cao played the art of co-indulgence, hoping that after he was ready, the four families joined forces to fight against the Yang thief.

All this, Yang Xi wanted to turn a blind eye, just as if they didn't happen.

Yang Xi already disdains this kind of power trick play.

But this made Yang Xi feel a little bad, so Yang Xi decided to teach Cao Cao a lesson and deter the princes.

Yang Xi wants to see how much appeal Cao Cao has, and if he starts a war with him, how many people will support him, and how many people will really send troops to respond.

In the winter and November of the fifteenth year of Jian'an, Yang Xi passed on the Chenhe River to control the area, so that the whole region entered a first-class combat state, and sent 200,000 troops, divided into three routes, and attacked Nanjun.

The First Route Army, led by Pang Tong with 60,000 troops, went north from Dawu and took Xiyang County in the south of Huaishui.

The Second Route Army, Lü Meng in the Jingnan Theater led 60,000 troops, crossed the Yangtze River in the north, and directly took Yiling in Nanjun.

The Third Route Army, led by Yang Xi himself, led 80,000 troops, went north out of Huarong County and took Jiangling directly.

Yang Xi did not hide his strategic intentions in the slightest, nor did he hide it, Wang Shi went north, swallowed mountains and rivers with the momentum, and seized Nanjun.

Zhang He, the general of Shinan County, and the two counties of Yiling and Jiangling have 20,000 soldiers and horses each.

Zhang He heard that Yang Xi led the troops to attack, and he had no words, so he was shocked, and hurriedly flew pigeons to pass the book to Xu Du, and led the troops to see Yang Xi, hoping to have an interview with Yang Xi.

Fortunately, after years of development, the princes have also mastered the method of transmitting the book with carrier pigeons, and they are becoming more and more proficient, otherwise I am afraid that Nanjun will be lost, and Cao Cao will receive the news.

Cao Cao was taken aback when he received the news of Yang Xi's dispatch of troops.

"I heard that Yang Xi was moody, and it must be that I united Sun Quan, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Kang today, and I angered him, and I led the troops to attack."

Xun Yu said: "There are only 100,000 soldiers and horses in Huainan, and 30,000 are in Xiyang County, 30,000 in Xiangyang, and the soldiers of Yiling and Jiangling are definitely not Yang Xi's opponents." The prime minister can write Zhang He and order him to retreat to Xiangyang to defend it, and then send troops south to rescue him, so that Nanjun can be temporarily stabilized. At the same time, Jiaozhou Sun Quan and Yizhou Liu Bei should be invited to send troops at the same time to attack Yang Xi, so that he could not care about each other, or he could take the opportunity to defeat Yang Xi. ”

Cao Cao's brows furrowed, believing that this was not enough to kill Yang Xi.

Jia Xu said: "The prime minister doesn't need to hesitate, there will be a battle between the prime minister and Yang Xi." Although my development is not slow, but compared to Yang Xi's annual population growth of millions of people, there is still a gap of thousands of miles, if I can take advantage of this time to make friends with the other three, besiege them, and wait for Yang Xi to swallow Jiaozhou, Dingyi Prefecture, there will be no such opportunity. ”

Cao Cao said: "What is this victory rate? ”

"Five-five!" Jia Xu and Xun Yu spoke in unison.

Cao Cao said: "Wen Ruowen and Wen He are saying big things to ease my heart. If Yang Xi is not sure, how can he rashly raise troops? But at this point, there is no choice! ”

Cao Cao's thousands of soldiers and horses still dared to ask for 200,000 Xiliang Dong Zhuojun, and at this time he brought 300,000 or 400,000 armor, but how could he not declare war with Yang Xi.

On the same day, Cao Cao sent a letter to Zhang He, asking him to temporarily retreat to Xiangyang, and he personally led an army of 100,000 people, and went south from Xudu, with Xiahou Yuan as the vanguard, and marched to Fancheng in a hurry, thinking that it was a response.

At the same time, Cao Cao offered the emperor on the table, issued an edict to Sun Quan and Liu Bei, and ordered Sun Quan to immediately send troops to Huiji, and Liu Bei sent troops to Nanjun to take Yang Xi's back road.

Yang Xi naturally expected Cao Cao's move, otherwise he would not dare to rashly raise troops.

Long before the troops were dispatched, Yang Xi had already sent people to Shu to cut off half of Qin Qing's letter and hand it over to Zhou Yu, even if it couldn't be separated, at least it could have some dirty effects.

At the same time, he also threatened Zhou Yu, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it, I still have half of it in hand.

In history, Zhou Yu died this year, and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms said that Zhou Yu was hit by a poisonous arrow and was killed by Zhuge Liang.

But Yang Xi knew that the real cause of Zhou Yu's death was that after the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu took advantage of the victory to attack the Jiangling guarded by Cao Cao's general Cao Ren, and attacked the opponent's camp when they hit the right flank, which happened in the first half of 209 AD.

A year later, he died of sores and infections from his wounds, and he had nothing to do with Zhuge Liang.

Since Zhou Yu was killed by an arrow, it is obvious that he is not hit by an arrow now, so it is impossible for him to die.

Zhou Yu is not dead, and giving the letter to Zhou Yu is equivalent to planting a nail between him and Sun Quan. With Zhou Yu's wisdom, he naturally will not turn his face with Sun Quan again, but this has buried hidden dangers.

Maybe you can influence the decision-making of Jiaozhou, even if you can't influence it, it doesn't matter, you still have a backhand.
