Xu Du, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Although Prime Minister Cao Cào was defeated in Chibi, everyone knows that "victory and defeat are common things in soldiers." Cao Cào also had hundreds of thousands of troops in the north. If you are an enemy of it, you will definitely not get any benefit.

Therefore, no matter who passes by the Prime Minister's Mansion at this moment, they are all respectful and dare not have a trace of neglect.

Many of the guards guarding Mén also did not squint. It's very powerful.

At this moment, in the backyard, Prime Minister Cao Cào is eating under the service of his wife, Mrs. Bian.

It's been months since Chibi was defeated. At this moment, Cao Cào had been dealing with Zhou Yu and Liu Bei for several months because Xu Huang was sitting in Jiangling.

In the north, both the wounded soldiers and the morale of the army are stable and have recovered a lot. made Cao Cào live a good life this time.

The gas is very good.

"Do you want another bowl of rice?" At this time, Cao Cào's bowl was already empty, and Mrs. Bian asked gently.

Mrs. Bian was wearing a very well-fitting plain dress, but her mature body could not be hidden, especially the bulging twin peaks, even the loose clothes could not cover it.

The face is not powdered, but it is naturally beautiful. The skin is snow-white with a hint of redness on the inside. Even the skin of Jiangnan NV is a little inferior in front of Mrs. Bian.

What a delicate and beautiful nv.

In fact, this is also a matter of course, otherwise Mrs. Bian would not have given birth to Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, Cao Xiong and other brothers as a singer in the family.

Cao Cào's eyes were picky.

In addition, Mrs. Bian was born frugal and advocated frugality. It makes the atmosphere in the Prime Minister's Mansion very good. Therefore, Cao Cào straightened Mrs. Bian and became his wife.

"Hmm." Cao Cào nodded. Let Mrs. Bian go and serve another bowl of rice. If you are in a good mood, you will eat a lot. At present, Cao Cào can eat two bowls, or even three bowls.

However, "when Mrs. Bian personally served a bowl of rice to Cao Cào." Just as Cao Cào was about to take a bite. When you plan to add a piece of jīròu to eat.

A rush of footsteps sounded, and Cao Cào raised his head strangely.

A moment later, under Cao Cào's gaze, Xun He's figure appeared in front of Cao Cào. Xun or is still the Xun or Xun of the past. It's very graceful and decent.

But at this moment, there is great anxiety on his face.

Anxious. Xun Or, who has always been calm and composed, showed an anxious look on his face, and he did not report it. went straight into the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Come and see him.

Cao Cào suddenly became solemn, is there a problem in Jiangling in the south, or Gongsun Kang and Yuan Shang in the north. Yuan Xi raised troops to fight against Zhang Liao?

Or is it Ma Teng in the west, Han Sui's troops went out of Chang'an and attacked Tongguan?

Cao Cào counted the current enemies, "Only these three people can cause such anxiety to Xun or .

And it's a defeat.

At the time when Cao Cào's heart was solemn. Xun Or greeted him and said: "Lord, Jiangling has been broken. Xu Huang was captured. ”

"What? Xu Huang captured? Cao Cào's eyes widened. The chopsticks in my hand fell to the ground, unbelievable.

This was obviously a big surprise to Cao Cào. The famous generals in the north first recommended the five good generals. Yu Ban, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Le Jin, Zhang Jaw.

Xu Huang is especially good at guarding, "With him, it is like an army of 10,000."

And Cao cào means to let Xu Huang defend Jiangling first, and fight with Zhou Yu and others for several months. And then. Ordered Xu Huang's troops to leave Jiangling and push them to Xiangyang.

Together with Yu Ban, who had established a complete defense system after months of cultivation, resisted Zhou Yu's further attack.

And now, Xu Huang has actually been captured.

This is not only a big loss for Cao Cào. It is also a major loss for the future defense of Xiangyang. Xiangyang, which was thought to be stable, "has some cracks.

"Taken captive by whom?" Cao Cào asked.

"Liu Feng." Xun or the face sè is more dignified, Tao.

"What?" Cao Cào was taken aback again, "Cao Cào knew a long time ago that Liu Feng might still be alive, and at this time" was not surprised because Liu Feng appeared, but because Liu Feng was in Tongyu, Liu Bei looked around, and when the city of Jiangling was tall and strong, "he was able to break into Jiangling and capture Xu Huang."

How is this possible?

"How is this possible, Zhou Yu next to him, how can Liu Bei agree?" Cao Cào asked incredulously.

"That's the problem. Liu Feng crossed the river to the north, Xu Shu and Pang Tong raised two-thirds of the soldiers in the seven counties, attacked Zhou Yu first, and defeated Zhou Yu. Then he broke into Jiangling with a tunnel, Xu Huang was caught off guard and was captured. Even Liu Bei was killed by Liu Feng's general Zhao Yun. and died with Guan Yu and Chen Zhi. Xun Or finished the story in detail in one breath.

The expression on his face became more and more anxious, and now Liu Feng went to his great enemy Liu Bei, and cut off Zhou Yu, the right arm of Jiangdong Sun Quan.

On the southeast side, the momentum is like a rainbow. If it was before the Battle of Chibi, the north was not afraid of Liu Feng at all. But the problem is that it's already after the Battle of Red Cliffs.

Cao Cào lost about 100,000 jīng soldiers. Just as he was about to take a breath, Liu Feng got up. And the momentum is so strong, it may not be safe for Xiangyang.

How could Xun Or not be anxious?

When Cao Cào listened, he was stunned for a long time. sighed and said: "This male" Sun Quanguo is difficult to compete with. ”

"Can Ming Gong make a decision?" Xun Or hurriedly asked.

"Let me think for a moment." Cao Cào waved his hand, lowered his head, and quietly pondered the current situation. After a moment, Cao Cào raised his head again. said: "Liu Feng's killing of Liu Bei is a major disaster in his life, but his reputation must be a little dirty. Spread the news immediately, whether it is the Central Plains or somewhere. all told the world that Liu Feng killed his father. ”

"No." Xun or was shocked in his heart and promised to say.

"Originally, there should be Xu Huang in Xiangyang. Yu Ban and two people guarded the town, with about 20,000 troops. But Xu Huang's army was defeated in Jiangling, and this vacancy came out. Although Zhou Yu led the remnants of thousands to the north, Xiangyang City was still unstable. Moreover, Zhou Yu is not very reliable. Tell Yu Ban first to guard against Zhou Yu. In addition, Gao Ran and Chōu were dispatched to Xu Du 10,000 jīng soldiers to help Yu Ban defend against the enemy. With the tall city of Xiangyang City, it is necessary to resist Liu Feng. Cao Cào gave the second order.

After a while, Cao Cào said again: "Sun Quan's loss of Zhou Yu is tantamount to breaking an arm. Jiangdong will definitely become unstable, and Sun Quan is afraid of Liu Feng's momentum, and will definitely send envoys north to form an alliance with me. Ordered Yangzhou to stab Shi Wenhui and pay more attention. Be sure to be well welcomed. ”

Yangzhou actually includes the Huainan area. As well as the whole of Koto. But now Jiangdong is divided by the Sun family, "Yangzhou only has Huainan in the Jiangbei area."

Contains heavy castles such as 合féi, 寿 chūn and so on. It is a strategic place to defend Jiangdong, and there is currently Li Dian defending there.

It's just that now it seems that the soldiers over there are not only going to support the Sun family, but they may also have to help the Sun family.

"No." Xun Or promised again.

This is also something that can't be helped, Liu Feng is already too strong on the southeast side. And Sun Quan has become a crippled Sun Quan, which is difficult to contend with.

If Jiangdong is broken by Liu Feng, then Liu Feng's power will really be monstrous.

In the former Warring States period, the Chu State was in the south. Its power was a great power even in the later period, and in a certain period of time, it was a powerful country of the first rank in the world.

The former king of Chu Zhuang took advantage of the state of Chu to go north to compete with the heroes. Become a chūn autumn tyrant. If Liu Feng annexed Jiangdong, it would be equivalent to the achievement of the territory and manpower of Chu during the Warring States Period in the past.

At that time, it was definitely difficult for the north. Therefore, even if Sun Quan didn't send someone to beg, Cao Cào would have to lift the weight, and even directly send troops to help Sun Quan resist Liu Feng.

After Xun or promised, he left immediately. With the three orders issued by Cao Cào, spread the news of Liu Feng's murder of his father, increase the troops in Xiangyang, and receive the envoys of Jiangdong.

After Xun or left, the atmosphere in the room was still very solemn. The main reason is that Cao cào always has a calm face. Mrs. Bian next to her was even more atmospheric, and she didn't dare to take a mouthful.

Other than that, it's a bit of a daze.

Xu Huang, who was called a good general in the north by Cao Cào, Xu Huang in the first of the five sons was actually captured alive plus the previous Cao Ren, Cao Chun's brother.

Liu Feng stinged, and he actually captured Cao Cào's general three times. Its troops fought in battle, and they were almost invincible.

What a character.

This male son, Sun Quanguo is difficult to compete with him. Mrs. Bian remembered Cao Cào's sigh earlier. I couldn't help but be a little frightened.

Mrs. Bian has been by Cao Cào's side for a long time, and she also knows a little bit of military affairs. If Xiangyang breaks this Fancheng, Wancheng will definitely not be able to keep it.

The rear is Xu Du.

Conquer everything and winn. The capital of the Son of Heaven may be in the midst of a war.

"I don't eat it. Sleep alone. At this time, Cao Cào's face changed slightly, but it was still terrifying. Get up on the wrong side of the bed. It was originally a very good food, but it was suddenly gone.

He said softly, turned and went to the inner room. The rest went.

"Hey." Mrs. Bian let out a faint sigh, seeing that Cao Cào was about to unify the north and the south, but how could the southeast side be heroic.

Sun Quan, Liu Bei, Zhou Yu, Liu Feng.

All of them are extremely difficult.

About eight days later, news came from Yangzhou that Jiangdong's general Zhang Wen went north to worship the Son of Heaven.

Fifteen years later, they arrived at Xudu.

Jiangdong Sun Quan is a prince, so Zhang Wen should also be an envoy logically speaking. But it's not. This world is still nominally the Han world.

Zhang Wen is the number one person in Jiangdong, "but in the world, he is actually an unpopular general."

Therefore, Cao Cào simply sent Xun or went to the east of the city to meet Zhang Wen.

In the east of the city, there are many guards. Xun or Zhang Wen got out of the carriage respectively and greeted each other in front of the city.

"The gentleman has come from afar, and he has missed the welcome, and he hopes to forgive his sins." Xun Or said to Zhang Wen very politely.

"I'm just a side general, and I'm still tired of Xun Gong personally greeting me, and I can't help it. Xun Gong said so, but he killed me. Zhang Wen said with a little trepidation.

This is definitely not made. But Zhang Wen was really panicked.

If you want to say that when Liu Feng was in Jiangdong in the past, who offended Liu Feng the most ruthlessly, it must be Zhou Guang, but he has been killed by Liu Feng.

The second is that he is Zhang Wen.

was an enemy of Liu Feng for no reason, and even wanted to trample on Liu Feng in order to increase his weight in Sun Quan's heart, embarrassing Liu Feng several times.

It was okay before, but look at what kind of momentum Liu Feng is now?

Entering Gangneung, you can attack and retreat. Defeating Zhou Yu "made Jiangdong weak, and killing Liu Bei was like killing Jī." Scraped off with a knife.

The momentum is like a rainbow, the momentum is like a rainbow. Compared to him, "Koto is a plump little worm." Edible and swallowable. If Jiangdong is really eaten by Liu Feng, "annexed."

It was hard for Zhang Wen to imagine what his fate would be like.

Anyway, Zhang Wen was scared. Therefore, after Sun Quan told him that he intended to unite with Cao Cào to fight against Liu Feng.

Zhang Wen volunteered to come and made up his mind. I want to say good things to Cao Cào in every way. To please Cao Cào, so that the two can be smoothly united. To keep Koto, and more importantly, to save his life.

Seeing this, Xun or even more worried.

I heard that Jiangdong has lost a large number of civil and military generals, and Sun Quan's trusted henchmen are almost exhausted, such as Gu Yong and Lu Su. or disappeared, or went to Xiangyang with Zhou Yu.

There are only some old ministers left around Sun Quan, such as Zhang Zhao, whose abilities are as mediocre as Zhang Wen in front of him. It can be said that the soldiers are small and the generals are outnumbered, and the civil servants are weak.

"Mr. is sitting in Jiangdong, and he has the merit of protecting the territory, so he doesn't have to be arrogant." Xun Or first appeased Zhang Wen in a gentle tone, and then raised his hand and said, "I'm afraid the prime minister has been waiting for a long time, and I ask Mr. to get in the car." ”

"No." Finally about to see Cao Cào, Zhang Wen's heart was shocked, and he raised his hand to Xun or Dao.

Immediately, Zhang Wen got into the carriage. Soon arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion. Cao Cào was in the hall and met with Zhang Wen.

The gaffe is serious and urgent. After some greetings, Cao Cào spoke first: "I don't know what Mr. means?" ”

"Liu Feng is unruly, and he has a large army, and at this moment he is going north to Jiangling, like Xiang Yu in the past, I am afraid that the country and society will be in danger of being reversed, and I also ask the prime minister to send troops to suppress it." Zhang Wen said straightly.

"This person will naturally send troops to suppress and subdue him. If there are any difficulties on the Jiangdong side, they will also talk to Lonely. "Big things should be simple, and at this moment, Cao Cào also has a simple attitude, just seeking to solve the problem quickly, and he is very direct.

That tone suddenly made Zhang Wen's heart happy.

Immediately said: "Liu Feng's momentum is too strong, and Marquis Wu is afraid that he will send troops to Jiangdong and Jiangdong land." Therefore, I hope that the prime minister can play the Son of Heaven, and ask the general Li Dian to send troops to Lujiang and face Yuzhang across the bank. In order to defend against Liu Feng. Saying that, Zhang Wen said again: "If the prime minister has any doubts, Wu Hou is willing to send the third son and grandson to the north as hostages." ”

Lujiang is a county in Jiangdong on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and has always been a strategic location. At this moment, it was given to Cao Cào, and the proton was Sun Quan's son Sun He. It can be seen that Sun Quan is really afraid.

When Zhang Wen was leaving, Sun Quan Jiāo represented Zhang Wen's bottom line. That's it. In fact, according to Sun Quan's meaning, Lu Jiang can give up, but Sun He should not give up easily.

But now Zhang Wen is already frightened, in order to ask for Cao Cào's help, even if he sells Sun Quan's son Sun He, it will be sold very quickly.

This is a very lucrative condition.

Cao Cào was also very surprised, and at the same time, looking at Zhang Wen's impatient appearance, he shook his head and sighed. There are really no people under Sun Quan's account, and even such a person can be an envoy.

"Wu Hou is the Han Dynasty in the southeast of Fanping, how can you sit and watch Wu Hou be annexed by Liu Feng? So please rest assured, sir, I will send Li Dian to Lujiang in the near future, and I am willing to stare at Jiangdong to radiate heavy grain. to defend against Liu Feng. Cao Cào readily agreed.

"Thank you, Prime Minister." Zhang Wen was overjoyed in his heart and bowed to Cao Cào.

In this way, Jiangdong and Cao Cào can be regarded as having a temporary alliance. Deal with Liu Feng together. Zhang Wen's heart breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his life could be saved temporarily.

The same is true of Cao Cào. If Li Dian swallows the Lujiang River and faces Yuzhang across the bank, he can keep Jiangdong. Curb Liu Feng's expansion.

Next, as long as Xiangyang is defended, the three of them present breathed a sigh of relief at the same time
