Chapter 497: The Front
A few days later, as the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, many people breathed a sigh of relief. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the past few days, Hao Meng has been gathering heavy troops towards Zhongli City, and the direction of his march is naturally self-evident.
As a result, a few families rejoiced and a few were sad.
At Hangu Pass, Cao Cao handed the news he had just received to several kobold military advisors under the seat, and asked: "Hao Meng's direction of advance has been clear, so next, can we take advantage of the fire to rob and copy Hao Meng's back road." ā
Although, when Hangu Pass was in danger, it was Hao Meng who took Dian Wei to the rescue, and he Cao Mengde survived, and he even got a new Chang'an on credit from Hao Meng. It stands to reason that even if Cao Mengde doesn't thank Hao Meng at this time, he shouldn't pull people back.
However, Hao Meng's rescue of Hanguguan was out of the righteousness of the nation and even mankind.
If it was him Cao Mengde at that time, most of them would have come to the rescue of one or two.
Now, Hao Mengzhi's ambition is clear, and his ambition is to level the world. He, Cao Mengde, as a prince, is naturally also in the list that Hao Meng needs to be leveled, this is a personal grudge between the princes, and it can pull Hao Meng's hind legs, why didn't Cao Cao make a move?
"Well, what does it matter if Hao Meng is beaten back to his original form, read it for the sake of the original rescue, and reward Hao Meng with a few acres of land to grow vegetables?"
After Xun Yu, Guo Jia and Chen Yu read the news one after another, they replied almost instantly: "Of course, I have to take the opportunity to pull Hao Meng's hind legs!" ā
"My lord." Xun Yu thought for a while, and then said: "Pull Hao Meng's hind legs, this is necessary, but not at this time." ā
At this time, most of Hao Meng's army gathered in Zhongli City, and its purpose was naturally to set foot in Jiangdong. But before the war started, Hao Meng could turn the spearhead of attack at any time. If we come out at this time, it is very likely to attract Hao Meng's soldiers. ā
"This is good for Jiangdong, not good for us!"
Guo Jia continued: "So, let's sit and watch Hao Meng and Jiangdong fight, and when their bloody battle is thick, the lord will send troops again, and it will be possible to sweep Yanzhou and take Jinan City!" ā
Chen Yu also continued: "Moreover, before this, we should also withdraw the army of Hangu Pass to Chang'an, so that Hao Meng feels that we don't want to pull his hind legs." ā
"If necessary, the lord can also personally write a congratulatory message to congratulate General Hao Meng on his upcoming sweep of Jiangdong!"
Cao Cao thought about it, and felt that it should indeed be so, so he said: "Then, according to what the three gentlemen said!" ā
ā¦ā¦
In Yecheng, Jizhou, Yuan Shao was overjoyed after receiving the new news. "Ladies and gentlemen, the direction of Hao Meng's march has been clear, and we can finally sit back and relax!"
Although Yuan Shao has always had great ambitions, he really didn't want to fight Hao Meng head-on at this time.
Because, in terms of the comparison of comprehensive strength, Yuan Shao and his think tank all agree that they are far from Hao Meng!
Of course, if Hao Meng's direction of march is Jizhou, no matter how unwilling he Yuan Shao is, he will have to fight a decisive battle with him.
Hearing this, many people in Yuan Shao's general's mansion breathed a sigh of relief, and some people even showed joy like Yuan Shao.
Guo Tu came out and said: "Lord, why are you happy? ā
"The direction of Hao Meng's army is Jiangdong, and the lord should be more worried while he is at ease!"
"With Hao Meng's current strength, if there are no extraneous branches, it is only a matter of time before he sweeps Jiangdong. At that time, Hao Meng added the land of Jiangdong again, and we were not opponents. Can the lord still be happy?! ā
Yuan Shao was dumbfounded by the questioning.
At this time, Xu Yu on the side came out and refuted: "How arrogant Guo Tu is! ā
"According to a certain opinion, the lord should be happy at this time!"
"Hao Meng's march into Jiangdong is certainly our worry in Jizhou, but it is a long-term worry."
"If Xu You's guess is right, the lord is happy that at this time, we can take back the four counties of Liaodong while Hao Meng is entering Jiangdong, lest when we fight Hao Meng in the future, the four counties of Liaodong will still pull us back!"
Of course, Xu You agreed with what Guo Tu said, and also felt that the lord Yuan Shao should not be overjoyed. However, at this time, Xu You, Guo Tu and others were competing for favor, so Guo Tu thought it was right, and he Xu You wanted to misinterpret it, so that the lord was dissatisfied with Guo Tu.
Tian Feng is more upright in the end, although he is also competing for favor, but when he thinks about problems, he always starts from the overall situation.
"Lord, what Guo Tu said is good, we shouldn't be happy at this time. Of course, what Xu You said is not bad, we are about to take advantage of Hao Meng's lack of time to take care of others, and take the opportunity to recover the four counties of Liaodong to relieve him of his worries in the future. ā
ā¦ā¦
Jiujiang, Shouchun City.
Liu Bei's hair has turned a lot gray these days. He had long known that Hao Meng was bound to sweep Jiangdong, and he had long known that their Shouchun City could not stop Hao Meng's troops, but at this time, Liu Bei had no choice.
At the beginning, out of strategic vision, Liu Bei sent his second brother Guan Yu to Cangwu County, Jiaozhou, to discuss with his good friend Wu Ju about "borrowing" Cangwu, just so that he could have a way out today. No, Cangwu County's preparations were completely destroyed by Hao Meng, and the three thousand elites brought by the second brother Guan Yu to Cangwu County were wiped out.
Today, Liu Bei, who has no way out, can only choose to defend Shouchun City and fight Hao Meng to the death.
Of course, when necessary, a retreat is still necessary.
However, at that time, if you want to come to Shouchun City, you can also consume some of Hao Meng's elites, right?
"Big brother doesn't have to be worried, it's a big deal that our three brothers go away and grab a piece of land for him, and we may not be able to make a comeback in the future!" Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei and sighed, and then admonished.
When Liu Bei heard this, he could only smile more bitterly.
Flee elsewhere to seize a piece of territory, trying to make a comeback in the future?
The second brother said it lightly.
But this is not the time for the tiger prison to close the stars and disperse!
Right now, among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, each county and every county, which one does not have a master? Which owner doesn't own more than one state? Seize the territory and city of these fierce people, can he Liu Bei defend it?
Liu Bei only hopes that in the decisive battle between Jiangdong and Hao Meng, Jiangdong Xiaoer can finally win.
Although this hope is a bit slim, only after Jiangdong wins, can he Liu Bei regain the territory he lost in the past, and maybe he can take the opportunity to annex some territory!
ā¦ā¦
Chaisang, Wuhou Fuzhong.
Sun Quan, who was nearly eleven or twelve years old, had a serious expression, staring at a large map on the wall, distracted.
Although he had already guessed that Hao Meng's next troops would inevitably be the six counties of Jiangdong, but when Hao Meng was about to send troops to Jiangdong, Sun Quan had some gains and losses.
Most people think that Hao Meng is going south to Jiangdong, if there are no extraneous branches, Jiangdong children will not be able to stop Hao Meng's soldiers. This kind of thinking is even shared by the Jiangdong Zhuwen and Wu.
But Sun Quan felt that if their Jiangdong sailors gave full play to their advantages, they might not be able to compete with Hao Meng in Hefei!
"Cheng Pu, prepare 50,000 elite infantry troops." Sun Quan spoke up for a long time.
"Once Shouchun City is in danger of breaking the city, you will immediately lead these 50,000 elite soldiers into Shouchun City to help Liu Bei defend Shouchun City."
"Shouchun City will not be able to hold it sooner or later, but it is best to delay it until the cold winter."
"At that time, a certain Jiangdong boy let Hao Meng's family know that my Jiangdong sailor didn't eat dry rice!"
