At this time, Cao Cao was embarrassed, and if he sent a large number of soldiers and horses to attack Jingzhou, he was worried that the Chang'an army in Wuguan would be dispatched, and when the army attacked Jingzhou, if Nanyang County was breached, it would mean that the retreat of the army was cut off.

"Lord, now that the King of Jin has led his soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, even if the King of Jin has the heart to help Jiangdong, he will not easily attack Nanyang County." Cheng Yu said.

Xun Yu said: "Otherwise, the king of Jin did not act according to the rules, when the princes' army attacked Huguan, the king of Jin still led the army to attack Jizhou after losing his troops and drove Yuan Shao away from Jizhou, such behavior, the princes also thought it was impossible, but the king of Jin did so." ”

Cao Cao nodded solemnly, he was unpredictable about Lu Bu's character, and it was often impossible in the eyes of others, but it became possible in the hands of Lu Bu, and now the troops in Lu Bu's hands are abundant, and even the land of Qingzhou north of the Yellow River is occupied by Lu Bu, and Xuzhou Zang Ba has an unclear relationship with Lu Bu, and Lu Bu's army can always threaten his safety.

"If the army attacks Jingzhou, it will definitely not be able to break through in a short period of time, and his subordinates suggest that the lord should send troops and horses to garrison Wancheng to guard against Lu Bu's soldiers and horses." Xun Yu arched his hand.

"Order, let the full pet come." Cao Cao said.

He didn't want to give up the opportunity to attack Jingzhou so easily, if Jingzhou was occupied, his strength would be greatly improved.

Giving up attacking Jingzhou and guarding against Lu Bu's soldiers and horses can naturally make the Chang'an army dare not offend easily, but in this way, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be lost.

After receiving Cao Cao's order, Man Chong went to Chang'an that night to try to find out Jia Xu's attitude, if the two sides could strengthen the alliance at such a time, it would definitely be good.

Sun Quan also sent Lu Su as an envoy to Chang'an to strengthen the alliance with Lu Bu.

Although Lu Su was young, he was deeply trusted by Sun Quan and was quite strategic, and he understood that if he could stabilize the relationship with Lü Bu at such a time, he would be able to save Jiangdong from war, and for Jiangdong, it was not to seize Jingzhou from Cao Cao's hands, but to stabilize the existing territory.

Jiangdong's envoys and Cao Cao's envoys arrived in Chang'an almost at the same time.

When Lu Su and Man Chong came to Chang'an, they learned that Lu Bu pacified Wei Li Guo and was leading the troops back, which made Man Chong a little uneasy, Lu Bu pacified Liangzhou, in the eyes of the princes, it must take a long time, Liangzhou Qiang people have been in trouble for many years, and the Han Dynasty sent a large number of soldiers and horses to attack Liangzhou and did not succeed.

The same thing was put on Lu Bu's body, and it took just a few months to pacify the Qiang people who were strong in the eyes of the Han people, and even cleaned up the Wei Li State, which was a threat to Liangzhou, and captured the king of Wei Li State, which was exciting news for the Han people, but it made Cao Cao even more worried.

The means and strength shown by Lu Bu were too strong, which was not good news for the other princes.

Lu Su saw hope in this news, the king of Jin pacified the Qiang people in Liangzhou, after returning to Chang'an, he would definitely not sit back and watch Cao Cao break through Jingzhou to strengthen his own strength, compared to Jiangdong, Lu Bu and Cao Cao must be the first to go to war, the two of them are approaching, and now although they are allies, they have a lot of precautions against each other.

After Jia Xu saw Sun Quan and Cao Cao's envoys, he was kind and relieved to both of them, and did not express the slightest expression, but the arrival of Chang'an's army in Wuguan had already indicated Lu Bu's position to a certain extent.

Cao Cao regarded Lu Bu as a big trouble, and Lu Bu also regarded Cao Cao as a real opponent, Lu Bu would not watch Cao Cao break through Jingzhou, and the reason why Cao Cao did not invade Chang'an when Lu Bu attacked Liangzhou was because Chang'an was guarded by a large army, and secondly, Liangzhou was barren, even if Lu Bu spent a huge price to pacify Liangzhou, it was worth the loss, not to mention that Cao Cao wished that Lu Bu would lose troops on the battlefield in Liangzhou.

The pacification of the battle in Liangzhou made Lu Su feel a lot more relieved, and even his mood was much better, Wuguan had an army of Chang'an, Cao Cao did not dare to easily send soldiers and horses into Jingzhou, and it was difficult to break through Jiangxia with Jingzhou's soldiers and horses.

For such favors, Jiangdong naturally has to admit that Lu Bu sent a large army to Wuguan without pacifying Liangzhou, which is enough to show that Lu Bu attaches great importance to Jiangdong, whether it is in interests or otherwise, this kind of behavior is enough to show that Lu Bu is sincere in making friends with Jiangdong.

And before Lu Su left, he was also ordered by Sun Quan to strengthen the alliance with Lu Bu.

If Lu Bu can help Jiangdong through this crisis this time, then the Jiangdong Sun family has gradually grown up with the help of Lu Bu, Sun Jian was saved by Lu Bu, Sun Ce was once rescued by Lu Bu, Jiangdong was in danger, and he asked for help from Lu Bu again.

This kind of kindness is absolutely heavy.

The next day, Jia Xu secretly sent someone to summon Lu Su.

After coming out of Chang'an Mansion, it was already late at night, but Lu Su's heart was more stable, and even thinking about what the consequences would be if Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou at such a time, from Jia Xu's tone, he felt Lu Bu's coveting of Nanyang.

Jia Xu would not deceive him on this matter, and if Chang'an's army attacked Nanyang, it would be enough, provided that Cao's army attacked Jingzhou at such a time.

After Cao Cao's army was dragged by the Jiangdong army in Jingzhou, as long as Chang'an's army broke through Nanyang and attacked Xudu, it meant that Cao Cao's years of hard work would come to naught, and Cao Cao did not dare to gamble at such a time.

After the defeat of Chang'an's army on the battlefield in Nanyang, there is also an army that shocks the world, if Cao's army fails in this battle, it will really be a defeat, don't look at Cao Cao's rule now has Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou and Nanyang County, Nanjun and Shouchun, the importance of Xu Du is the same as the importance of Chang'an to Lu Bu at this time.

Lu Su was full of confidence, but the mood was not very good, originally thought that there was turmoil in Jiangdong, and he would be able to gain more benefits in this turmoil, who knew that Lu Bu actually sent soldiers and horses into Wuguan to deter Nanyang County, in this case, Cao Jun still dared to act rashly, who can be sure that Lu Bu, a madman, would come to that when Cao Jun attacked Jingzhou.

The most important thing under Lu Bu's command is the cavalry, if all the cavalry is gathered together, it will be even more terrifying, when attacking Wancheng, it is completely possible to use the power of cavalry to raid Xudu, and it is impossible to prevent it.

Man Chong also understands that in Lu Bu's eyes, Cao Cao is the greater threat, Lu Bu's governance is close to Cao Cao, and sooner or later there will be a battle between the two, and Jiangdong is different, far away from Chang'an, and it is an important force for Lu Bu to contain Cao Cao, so he naturally doesn't want Jiangdong to be eliminated by Cao Cao so quickly.
