About a month after leaving Chengdu City, Lu Su returned to Jianye City, met Sun Quan, and told Sun Quan in detail about the conversation between Chengdu City and Liu Bei, Sun Quan was furious after hearing it, and kicked over the case in front of him, and the books on the case were scattered all over the ground, and the generals of the strategists in the palace were so frightened that they all knelt down in a hurry, and they didn't dare to speak one by one, and Sun Quan, who only listened, said angrily at this time:

"Okay, you Liu Bei, a cunning old fox, dare to play tricks with me and deceive my three-year-old child."

The angry Sun Quan stared at a pair of eyes, like an angry tiger, looking at the kneeling generals and strategists below, and his angry gaze could almost kill people. After the people below looked at it, Sun Quan's gaze finally stopped on the kneeling Lu Su, and said fiercely:

"Zijing, in the past, it was you who vouched for Liu Bei and lent my Jingzhou to Liu Bei; Now that Liu Bei has obtained the land of Xichuan, but he has no intention of returning Jingzhou, can Zijing still sit idly by and watch such a thing? Now I have made up my mind, send troops to capture Jingzhou, and take back the territory that belongs to me. ”

After hearing this, Zijing, who was kneeling below, hurriedly raised his head and said:

"My lord, no! Now we are in alliance with Liu Beinai, if we send troops to attack Jingzhou, the alliance will be dissolved, and both families will suffer great damage. How will we resist Cao Cao's army in the north when the time comes! ”

After Sun Quan heard this, the anger on his face became even more intense, and he said angrily:

"Lu Su, until now you are still speaking for Liu Bei, Liu Bei has bullied me, what alliance do you still let me take care of, is my Sun Quan so easy to bully! As my courtier, you don't think about giving me advice on how to seize Jingzhou now, but you still think about any alliance, you are so bold. ”

After Lu Su heard Sun Quan's words, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, trembling, and he didn't even dare to call the minister, and the minister didn't dare.

Sun Quan, who only listened, continued:

"I have to get the land of Jingzhou. Now that Guan Yu is personally sitting in Nanjun, the land of the four counties of Jingnan guards the emptiness, so I will take the land of these four counties first. Lü Meng, I order you to lead 20,000 troops to capture the four counties of Jingnan and set off on the same day. ”

"Yes, my lord." Lu Meng, who was kneeling below, agreed when he heard it.

At this time, after hearing this, Lu Su hurriedly said:

"Lord, it is reasonable for us to send troops so suddenly, it is better for the lord to send the chief officials to the four counties of Jingnan first, if Guan Yu lets our chief officials take over the four counties of Jingnan, then we can get the land of the four counties without spending a single soldier, if Guan Yu drives the chief officials out of the four counties, then it is not too late for us to send troops to capture the land of the four counties at this time. Please think twice! ”

After the angry Sun Quan heard Lu Su's words, he slowly calmed down, thought for a while, and said:

"Just do it according to Zijing's intentions, and you can send chiefs to the four counties of Jingnan. Lü Meng led a large army to seize the four counties of Jingnan at any time. ”

Cao Wei, Xuchangcheng.

Today's Cao Cao looked very happy in the early dynasty, and he was always happy in the early dynasty, and he was in a very good mood, and everyone in the hall was naturally in a very good mood when he saw Cao Cao happy!

Last year, Xiahou Yuan and other generals defeated Ma Chao, Han Sui, Song Jian, and Di Wang 10 million in Xiliang, and completely controlled Longyou, Hexi and other Liangzhou places; In July last year, Sun Quan personally led an army to attack Hefei, but was defeated by his own generals Zhang Liao and others, and was able to escape under the desperate protection of his generals; In October, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Empress Fu and other people conspired to get rid of Cao Cao, but Cao Cao discovered that he killed everyone involved in the rebellion and temporarily pacified his backyard; Cao Cao would certainly be very happy about these series of victories. However, there was one thing that gave Cao Cao some headaches, and that was that Liu Bei captured Yizhou.

"Now that Liu Bei has captured the land of Yizhou and has completely controlled the land of Shu, presumably he will attack Hanzhong in the near future, and our army has to guard against this. Now that we have pacified Liangzhou and eliminated the hidden danger of attacking Hanzhong in the south, I decided to send troops to attack Hanzhong in the near future, occupy Hanzhong before Liu Bei, and ensure the safety of Liangzhou. Cao Cao said.

Cao Cao's advisor Liu Ye said at this time:

"What the prime minister said is extremely true. Zhang Lu in Hanzhong has no ability, if Liu Bei crusades against him, he will inevitably be defeated and surrendered, and if we want to attack Hanzhong, it will be very difficult. Now that Liu Bei has settled in Yizhou, the local people are not completely convinced of it, and the soldiers of Liu Bei's army have been fighting for several years, presumably at this time, they are also sleepy and need to recuperate for a period of time, so it is the best choice for our army to attack Hanzhong during this period of time. It is a blessing for the world that the prime minister made this decision. ”

After he finished speaking, Sima Yi, another of Cao Cao's advisers, said at this time:

"Prime Minister Qi, there are now four routes to choose from in attacking Hanzhong. First, take the Meridian Valley Road; second, take the valley road; Third, take the Baoxie Valley Road, and fourth, take the old road of Chencang. These roads have their own advantages and disadvantages, such as the first three valley roads, which are basically difficult and difficult roads, but there is no danger of the enemy at the valley pass, and the enemy army generally relies on the mountain to defend. The fourth Chencang Old Road, on the contrary, is relatively flat, but it is necessary to storm Yangping Pass. ”

Cao Cao, who had only listened, said at this time:

What Zhong Da said is extremely true. Yangping Pass is the gateway to the west of Hanzhong, and it is also the last danger of the west of Hanzhong, through Yangping Pass to the east, it enters the Hanzhong Basin, and the Hanzhong guards will have no danger to defend at that time. And I got information from those who engaged in Liangzhou and the surrender of Wudu: the two mountains in the north and south under Yangping Pass are far away from each other, and they are not conducive to defense. From this, it can be seen that there must be a wide flat area in the middle of Yangping Pass, which is suitable for attacking. In view of the above reasons, I have decided to choose the fourth route: to reach Chencang first, then go south from Chencang through Dasanguan, turn southeast after passing through Hechi, and pass through Fuxian County to reach the Yangping Pass area. Then the army attacked Yangping Pass and went straight to the city of Hanzhong. ”

At the end of the discussion at the court meeting, Cao Cao decided to personally lead an army of 100,000, and the main generals were Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Xu Chu, Guo Huai, Xu Huang, Zhang Jaw, etc., and attacked Hanzhong in March this year.
