The military horses sent by Cao Cao, no more, no less, can just give the New Han army a certain threat, and can also give Liu Biao a certain confidence.

From the standpoint of an ally, Cao Cao's military horses in Xiangcheng can indeed give Liu Biao a little peace of mind.

At the very least, it made Liu Biao feel that he was not alone, and that he had a strong ally standing by his side.

The only thing that made Liu Biao feel a little uneasy was that Cao Cao's military horses were not the reinforcements he sent when he took the initiative to ask Cao Cao for help. Because Liu Biao had just sent someone to Cao Cao for assistance, he estimated that his people had just gone to Xudu at most, and they should not have had time to ask Cao Cao for help, and Cao Cao's military horses had already arrived in Xiangcheng.

This made Liu Biao involuntarily think, if Cao Cao wanted to be unfavorable to him, could he also send troops to attack him at any time? However, this was just a flash of thought in Liu Biao's heart, because his biggest enemy now was not his "ally" Cao Cao, but Liu Yi of the New Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao also saw this very clearly.

Moreover, Cao Cao and Zai attached great importance to the fact that Liu Yi personally led the army to Wancheng this time. For Cao Cao, he had a feeling that this should be an opportunity for him, a breakthrough to find a breakthrough, to break the impasse that he was now depressed.

In Cao Cao's heart, he always believed that the biggest enemy of his unification of the Han Dynasty was Liu Yi of the New Han Dynasty. He also knew very well in his heart that he would have a decisive battle with Liu Yi sooner or later in the future. It's just that now he is controlled everywhere, above the overall trend. It is already in an absolutely passive situation. This situation led him to a dead end and suppressed his development. He has never been able to grasp the initiative in his fight with Lewis.

And this time. Cao Cao felt that the opportunity had come.

Cao Cao always believed that if he wanted to defeat Liu Yi, if he wanted to attack Luoyang and destroy the New Han Dynasty, he had to attack the New Han Dynasty from the direction of Wancheng. As long as Wancheng is taken, the door to attack Luoyang of the New Han Dynasty can be truly opened.

I don't know how many times, Cao Cao has always wanted to send troops to Wancheng. Moreover, I wanted to secretly send troops to attack Wancheng many times, but it was a pity. Wancheng has always been guarded by Qin Jie, and the garrison is tight, and it is impossible for his military horses to be killed under Wancheng secretly. And also. Kill from Xiangcheng to Wancheng. That area seems to be a bit like a three-way area, there are many bandits and robbers, as long as his military horse moves, it will definitely be noticed, so Cao Cao has never sent troops.

In addition, the timing is not quite right. The so-called pull one to launch the whole body. Cao Cao dared to mobilize a large army to attack Wancheng, which alarmed the New Han Dynasty. It is inevitable that he will officially tear his face with Liu Yi, and when the time comes, if the New Han Dynasty wants to start a full-scale war with him Cao Cao, he will be a little unbearable to ask himself. In the final analysis, his Cao Cao's current strength is still far inferior to that of the New Han Dynasty, which makes him dare not move lightly.

However, the current situation is a little different. Lewi split multiple battlefields at the same time. The military horses of the New Han Army are in all directions, and at this time, it is definitely unlikely that Liu Yi will transfer all the military horses of the New Han Army back to Luoyang at once. What's more, now is the time for Liu Yi to take the offensive, and it is impossible for Liu Yi to transfer all his troops to Luoyang in a panic as soon as he sees that he is under a little threat.

Therefore, Cao Cao thought that as long as he could defeat Liu Yi in Wancheng in one fell swoop, then he could take advantage of the situation to wave his army to Luoyang.

Of course, Cao Cao also knew that it would be difficult for him to capture Wancheng alone, so he had to use Liu Biao to open up a situation for him now. In this way, the other side can fall in one fell swoop.

In other words, Cao Cao now needs Liu Biao's military horses to consume a little of Liu Yi's more than 100,000 military horses in Wancheng, so that he can have a greater certainty of winning Wancheng.

However, Cao Cao knew that it would not be possible to count on Liu Biao to achieve great things. Therefore, now he can only give Liu Biao a little hope, like boiling a frog in warm water, so that Liu Biao can't die all of a sudden. Then, as long as Liu Yi forced Liu Biao to have no choice, he could only fight hard with Liu Yi, he Cao Cao was on the side to wave the flag and shout for Liu Biao, and when Liu Biao and Liu Yi were about the same, he would take advantage of the fisherman.

Well, this is also one of the reasons why Cao Cao immediately sent 200,000 troops to Xiangcheng as soon as he got the intelligence of the secret agent and learned that Liu Yiqin led the army to Wancheng.

He took the initiative to send troops to Xiangcheng and put on a posture that he could support Liu Biao at any time, so that Liu Biao could not only see the hope that he had the opportunity to confront Liu Yi, but also block Liu Biao's mouth, so that Liu Biao would not be able to propose to let his military horses directly participate in the confrontation with Liu Yi's military horses immediately.

Anyway, it is to give Liu Biao a psychological hint, implying that Liu Biao, as his ally, has already sent troops to support him, but when he attacks Liu Yi, it depends on his Cao Cao's own mood, and he can start fighting when he wants. And you Liu Biao, this time, don't back down anymore, Liu Yi is going to attack you, you retreat, this is how can I Cao Cao support you? You've got to fight Lewy first. If not, how can I help you?

Of course, Cao Cao now has to deal with another person he hates first, and that is Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's existence made Cao Cao feel that it was a variable after all.

Moreover, in Cao Cao's heart, he has always been thinking about Guan Yu, the general of the three armies. Therefore, he came up with a way to kill two birds with one stone, which could not only get rid of Liu Bei, but also possibly obtain Guan Yu, a general.

Cao Cao received the envoy sent by Liu Biao to ask for help, and told the messenger a little vaguely, and asked him to go back to report to Liu Biao, so that Liu Biao could rest assured that he had sent 200,000 troops to Xiangcheng. In addition, let the messenger tell Liu Biao that he Cao Cao is now on guard against the New Han Army in Jizhou and the New Han Army in Tiger Prison Pass, and he Cao Cao himself is also a little worried that the New Han Army will attack him, so he can't personally support Liu Biao, 200,000 military horses are already the most people and horses that he Cao Cao can mobilize, and it is impossible to have more, so Liu Biao himself looks at it. Then, Cao Cao asked the messenger to tell Liu Biao, saying that Liu Yi of Wancheng, the New Han army was only more than 100,000 or 200,000 military horses, and he Liu Biao plus him Cao Cao, adding up to hundreds of thousands of troops, there was no need to be afraid of Liu Yi at all, rather than waiting to be attacked by Liu Yi, it was better to take the initiative to attack.

In the end, Cao Cao also deliberately expressed some dissatisfaction with Liu Biao, saying that Liu Biao did not attack Wancheng as agreed earlier, so that everyone lost a good opportunity to destroy the New Han Dynasty. Therefore, this time Liu Yi came back to his senses and attacked him Liu Biao, in fact, he Liu Biao took the blame on himself, if it weren't for the sake of everyone or allies, he Cao Cao really didn't bother to care about the war between him Liu Biao and Liu Yi. Cao Cao told the messenger to Liu Biao, asking Liu Biao not to be arrogant, the New Han Army is not invincible in the world, he Liu Biao has many generals under his account, what are you afraid of Liu Yi? Now, with Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to help, do you still need to be afraid of Liu Yi?

Finally, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were mentioned, it was Cao Cao who reminded Liu Biao not to forget Liu Bei, who had already taken refuge in him, when he was in trouble, how long would he use Liu Bei?

Perhaps, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were displayed around Wancheng at once, so that Liu Yi really didn't dare to move lightly.

For several days, the new Han army in Wancheng did not seem to move. This also makes the envoys of all parties frequently go back and forth to exchange information.

The envoy sent by Liu Biao to see Cao Cao returned to Xiangyang.

Cao Cao's words were relayed to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao is also a smart person, and when he saw it, he understood a little bit what Cao Cao meant when he mentioned Liu Bei at the end.

Of course, Liu Biao also saw that Cao Cao seemed to be a little dissatisfied with himself, and he should have wanted to see himself and Liu Yi lose both. is to urge him to start a war with Liu Yi, and he Cao Cao can benefit in the end.

However, what is the use of Liu Biaoxiàn even if he knows this point of Cao Cao's thoughts? He didn't have a choice.

Because, Liu Yi's messenger had just left, and he sent an ultimatum.

Liu Yi clearly said that he Liu Biao was originally a relative of the Han family and a minister of the Han court, and he sent troops to attack the new Han Dynasty as a minister of the court, which was a rebellion.

If it weren't for the sake of being a relative of the Han family, Liu Yi would have sent troops to kill him. Now, Liu Biao has been given so many opportunities to return to the imperial court and not to split the land of the Han Dynasty, but Liu Biao has pushed again and again, and has developed to attack the New Han Dynasty, which Liu Yi cannot tolerate.

If Liu Biao does not wake up and does not immediately return to the New Han Dynasty, then the army of his new Han army will be killed under the city of Xiangyang, and when the time comes, Liu Biao will regret it too late.

Between words, there is no room for negotiation.

Liu Biaoxiàn is here, either surrendering or resolutely resisting to the end.

Under such circumstances, Liu Biao was really unwilling to surrender like this. After all, he has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, and there are still hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, and he is not without the power to resist at all.

In this way, even if Liu Biao saw that Cao Cao wanted to take advantage of the fisherman, he Liu Biao had no choice, if he didn't want to surrender to Liu Yi, he had to get Cao Cao's assistance.

mentioned Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Feizhiyong, which made Liu Biao's eyes light up.

Of course, Liu Biao also knew that Liu Bei's defection to him was not equal to his subordinates. At the critical moment, he may not be able to command Liu Bei, if he can command Liu Bei, then things will be easy to do.

He felt that with the courage of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, even if he couldn't defeat Liu Yi, he could at least be able to defeat him, and he could ensure that he would not lose Jingzhou.

Cao Cao's reminder made him have to play Liu Bei's idea.

Didn't Cao Cao just want to watch himself and Liu Yi lose? So if he can let Liu Bei resist the attack of the New Han Army for himself, wouldn't he be able to preserve his strength?

As for how to mobilize Liu Bei, this does not need to be taught by Cao Cao, if Liu Biao doesn't even have this means, he is afraid that he will not be able to be the lord of Jingzhou. (To be continued......)
