Zhang Quan knows the truth of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and not being defeated in a hundred battles. What three armies have not moved, grain and grass go first, what millions of troops, in the face of intelligence work that is so meticulous that even you have a hair, these are all nonsense. Therefore, since Zhang Quan took control of the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River, had money and people, he began to organize a huge intelligence work.

Zhang Quan got the information about Cao Cao like this:

Cao Cao, who was marching from Jizhou in Hebei Province to Youzhou and Zhou, learned the news that Chang'an was taken by Zhang Quan, and was furious, drew his sword and slashed directly at the trunk of the big tree beside him, and then a blood flower splashed out from the wound on the trunk and splashed directly on Cao Cao's face.

Cao Cao was woken up by everyone, and said in a big way:

"Zhang Xiu, this guy, I will kill my son if I surrender first, and then I will be a minister, and I will take Chang'an, I will not get rid of this thief, and I will not be blind to death!"

Guo Jiachengyu and others saw that Cao Cao was angry, and they didn't want to advise anything, but they just persuaded Cao Cao to recuperate well and call the military doctor to check.

・・・・・・・・・・

Of course, there are also plots that Zhang Quan's intelligence can't extend:

That night, Guo Jia came to Cao Cao's tent to soothe Cao Cao's injured heart, but found that Cao Cao was refreshed at the moment, writing poems quietly, leisurely, and completely like a literary and artistic youth, not like a generation of princes who competed for hegemony in the world, and a new generation of kings of the earth and the king of the mountain who had just suffered a blow from the juniors.

Guo Jia opened his mouth in surprise and didn't make a sound.

Cao Cao looked up and said, "Oh, Fengxiao is here, Hebei has not yet been pacified, you still have to be busy, go back and rest early." Although you are a high-ranking hybrid of the dragon clan and have good physical fitness, but if you give advice and advice, the higher the intelligence, the greater the damage to yourself. ”

Guo Jia was stunned and said, "Then, what about Zhang Quan in Chang'an?" Chang'an, did you just give it up? ”

"Zhang Quan?" Cao Cao said, "It's okay, no matter how much he tosses, it's still the Cao family." ”

・・・・・・

Historically, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao at Guandu in 200 AD, and Yuan Shao has been in a state of collapse since then, but Cao Cao did not occupy the entire territory of Hebei (north of the Yellow River) until 204. No way, China is so big, Hebei is a rich land, with a large population and soldiers, Yuan Shao surrendered, and several of his sons rose up one after another and continued to fight with Cao Cao. Although they were not Cao Cao's opponents, they supported Cao Cao's army and bought Zhang Quan enough time to develop in Cao Cao's south.

Sun Quan of Jiangdong was still busy suppressing the Shanyue tribe now, and suddenly received news that Zhang Xiu's army had occupied Chang'an, and his purple eyes suddenly widened. A few months ago, when he heard that Zhang Xiu's army had occupied Yizhou, Sun Quan said with a smile: Yizhou is remote, and it can only be defended but not attacked.

And now Zhang Xiu has seized Chang'an, although Chang'an is a city, but it is not comparable to a huge state in Yizhou, it is the capital! Although it has not been a capital for many years.

Sun Quan immediately sent an order to Zhou Yu, who was in the Jiangxia army.

Jiangxia City, the traffic is busy, the people are noisy, the sound of selling, laughter is constant, the river water slowly hits the beach on both sides, the white foam, there are many people in the river swimming in the water. After Zhou Yu's one-year rectification, people have gradually realized that they are Jiangdong people.

Zhou Yu, who was holding a lupine scarf, looked at the surging river and the huge waves of sand, and said to Lu Su beside him: "Zhang Xiu has the ambition to win the world!" Looking at today's form, Zi respects your three-point world statement has been verified. ”

"I'm ashamed, at that time I thought that Liu Jingzhou still had the ambition to chase the Central Plains and would annex Liu Zhang, but I didn't expect a Zhang Xiu to suddenly appear, and now he controls nearly half of the country." Lu Su said.

"Although I admit that Zijing is prescient, but we are doing things in Jiangdong, and it will be difficult for us to do it no matter how powerful Zhang Xiu becomes." Zhou Yu said.

"A year ago, General Sun Ce died in Zhang Xiu's army, and we married Zhang Xiu in order to alleviate the conflict, and after the marriage, Zhang Xiu had no contact with us, and I don't know if he didn't take us seriously, and I don't know if the little county lord lives well with Zhang Quan." Lu Su said.

As soon as Zhou Yu heard Lu Su mention Sun Ce, his face changed, and then he shouted:

"How can you not avenge the revenge of killing your brother!" After a pause, he said, "At that time, I was stabilizing Zhang Xiu and waiting for Liu Biao to solve Zhang Xiu, and we Jiangdong are good fishermen who benefited, so I proposed to use marriage to alleviate the conflict." Unexpectedly, alas, Zhang Xiu defeated Liu Biao at once, and then seized Yizhou, and took Chang'an! Alas. I regret not being at the beginning. Alas. "I couldn't stop sighing.

"Gongjin, remorse is useless, let's think about how to deal with the current situation and how to maximize the interests of our Jiangdong." Lu Su said.

Zhou Yu suddenly became serious, and said:

"Now that our Jiangdong is sandwiched by Zhang Xiu in Jingzhou and Cao Cao in the Central Plains, if we want to develop, we must wage war on one side. But they're all behemoths, and they're not easy to gnaw! Fortunately, between us and Cao Cao in the Central Plains, there is Huainan led by Li Xun and other minor princes as a buffer, and Cheng Pu Handang is already leading the army through Huainan. And now that I am in command of Jiangxia, I am faced with the choice of whether to start a war against Zhang Xiu! went to war, fought against the entire Jingzhou with the strength of Jiangxia County, and died nine times; If you don't go to war, you will wait for Zhang Xiu to become bigger, and one day on a whim will throw a large army and seize the entire Jiangdong. ”

Zhou Yu was talking, and suddenly received Sun Quan's simple order, Zhou Yu took a look, was overjoyed, handed it to Lu Su, and said:

"Sun Quan is indeed a wise lord! He said that I would lead the Jiangxia army to seize the opportunity to seize Jiangling and cut off the connection between Xiangyang and the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and then he led the army from Chaisang to slowly pass through the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Lu Su took the Jian Ling and looked at Wan, looked at Gong Jin and said: "Since you have decided to start a war against Zhang Xiu, then, while Zhang Xiu has no defense against us now, we will not raise troops now!" ”

"Exactly, that's what I thought."

Immediately Zhou Yu and Lu Su reorganized the soldiers and horses, Zhou Yu and Lu Su led 20,000 soldiers out of the city to Xiakou Port, and the people in Jiangxia City sent them out of the city, and the noise and cheers continued.

Zhou Yu was saying goodbye to the people, and suddenly heard a few roars, like the howl of a tiger, turned around to look, and saw two military horses attacking from the mountains in the northwest of Jiangxia City, the leader was a black face and a red face, the black face was brave and violent, the red-faced hair and beard were flying, a little handsome, it was Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.

It turned out that although Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu that Liu Bei would meet in Xinye were all poached by Zhang Quan, there were so many talented people in Huaxia, and since ancient times, there has been a saying that only Chu is talented, and Liu Bei is in Chu. Liu Bei searched for talents near Xinye, and found one, Jiang Wan, who hit it off at first sight and talked about it, and Liu Bei immediately appointed Jiang Wan as the general of the military division.

Jiang Wan, now twenty years old, a Lingling person, a high-level hybrid of the sea and water, of course, his combat power cannot be compared with the top hybrid like Pang Tong Zhuge Liang. Jiang Wan is also quite handsome, thin and tall, but quite old-fashioned, with a square hat on his head and a well-groomed beard, looking like a mature middle-aged person in his thirties. After the death of Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms, foreign affairs were entrusted to Jiang Wei, and internal affairs were entrusted to Jiang Wan. In fact, Jiang Wan not only has strong internal affairs ability, a relatively high IQ, but also has a certain military talent, although he does not have a handsome talent like Cao Cao, Zhou Yu, and Sima Yi who plans the world to command the entire battlefield, but the ability to command an army in battle is still good. Jiang Wan commanded the military division of Xinye, a small land, just right.

Jiang Wan analyzed with Liu Bei that he is now in Xinye, saying that he is the master of one side, but he is actually trapped in Xinye, Cao Cao in the north, Sun Quan in the east, and Zhang Xiu in the southwest, all of which control the territory of more than one state, which is incomparable to the small county town of Liu Bei's Xinye.

Liu Bei found out that his situation was miserable, and immediately cried.

Jiang Wan said, don't worry. Although Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Zhang Xiu are all very strong, there are also soft persimmons among the strong, which can be pinched for us. Although Zhou Yu under Sun Quan occupies Jiangxia County in the south of Xinye, it has only been occupied for two years now, I am afraid that the people are still dissatisfied, and if you use the title of Liu Biao's younger brother to capture Jiangxia, I am afraid that the people will all be obedient. is also your subordinate Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two inappropriate tiger generals, although Zhou Yu is known as a Confucian general, but also a hybrid of bronze and fire high-ranking dragon clans, his combat power can be one enemy and ten thousand, but he lacks strong generals in his army, he is alone, and he is not the opponent of Guan and Zhang's two generals. Jiangxia City and Jiangdong are separated by a Yangtze River, and the lonely city is helpless and easy to take.

So Jiang Wan asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead the army to attack Jiangxia from Xinye along the mountain road, and caught Zhou Yu and Lu Su off guard.

Xinye, Liu Bei stands on the top of the Han River, the vast surface of the Han River, steaming out a hazy and continuous water vapor, Liu Bei stands in it, there is a kind of market for immortals.

Liu Bei stood where Zhuge Liang had stood, but he could no longer find Zhuge Liang.

Tonight the clouds are thick, the sky is dark, and only the bright moon shines coldly on the earth; The next moment, the moon was obscured by dark clouds, and the world, in an instant, was only dark.

Liu Bei suddenly let out a monstrous roar, and a pair of ten-meter-long flame dragon wings spread out behind him, and after a few flashes, he flew above the Han River, overlooking the vast land. The fire wings flapped a few more times, and the flame of the Hanshui River did not go out, but the river began to evaporate into water vapor, and in an instant, the Han River was already filled with a thick fog, and it seemed that the next moment, the Han Water was about to be evaporated.

Liu Bei's consciousness swept away, covering the entire Jingzhou in an instant, and Jia Xu in Xiangyang City, although he was aware of Liu Bei's detection, although his heart trembled, he still pretended not to know and sorted out the work in his hands.

Liu Bei muttered: "Hey, in the entire Jingzhou, the land of Longxing, there is not a single dragon king-level existence at this moment. The king of the sea and water, who occupied both Luoshui and Hanshui, was gone? Forget it, the ant-like existence, don't mention it; Today, the four dragon kings who are active in the world, Yuan Shao, the king of the sky and the wind, has hanged, Cao Cao, the king of the earth and the mountain, is at his peak, and there is an inexplicable good son, and only Sun Quan, the king of the sea and water of Eastern Wu, can move. Alas, Xiao Sun Quan, I didn't expect that the final inheritance of the Han Dynasty would be you, I really don't want to kill you. ”
