Cao Cao nodded slightly, Cai Mao is indeed a talent who leads the naval army, and now that he has taken Xiangyang, Jingzhou without blood, Cao Cao is naturally very happy. However, now is not the time to slack off, and after pacifying Jingzhou, Cao Jun will next target Sun's Jiangdong.

However, unlike Jingzhou, Jiangdong will definitely not be easily taken by Cao Jun. After all, Jiangdong was defeated by Sun Ce by himself, and he and Liu Biao are far from enjoying their success, and the soldiers in Jiangdong are all quiet in a hundred battles, which makes people definitely not surrender easily, so Cao Jun must be fully prepared.

But to be honest, Cao Cao obviously didn't take Jiangdong Sun in his eyes. In the entire Jiangdong, Sun Ce should undoubtedly pose the greatest threat to Cao Jun, and now Sun Ce has been dead for a long time, so he obviously will no longer pose a threat to Cao Jun. As for Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan, this person obviously does not have the courage of his father and brother.

Although Jiangdong's soldiers were elite, the number of Jiangdong's soldiers was far less than that of Cao's army. How could tens of thousands of combatants resist Cao's army's hundreds of thousands. Going out to Jingzhou, Cao Cao already had an army of more than 100,000. Now that he has taken Jingzhou without bloodshed, the strength of Cao Jun can be described as an unprecedented surge.

Now, if Jingzhou's infantry army is counted, Cao Jun only needs to be able to take out 300,000 soldiers to fight against the Jiangdong Sun clan. With such a strong military advantage, Cao Cao did not believe that there would be any accidents in the battle of Jiangdong. Therefore, Cao Cao is bound to win the next battle.

After pacifying the land of Jiangdong, then Cao Jun took a solid step towards dominating the world. In the next Liangzhou and Yizhou, no one is Cao Jun's opponent. Thinking that he was about to dominate the world, Cao Cao's face showed joy that could not be concealed. In this regard, Zhao Fei beside Cao Cao obviously could understand. Achieving success and dominating the world is something that all men will be crazy about. Even Zhao Fei is like this, a game can make people obsessed, let alone immersive.

However, Zhao Fei obviously thinks a lot more than Cao Cao, although the Cao army is strong in combat today, but the battle is often fast-changing. It is not for nothing that the weak defeated the strong in battles, thinking about the battle of Guandu that year, the Cao army was not much weaker than the Yuan army in terms of troops. In the end, it was not that Yuan Shao was defeated.

Therefore, in fact, there are times when there are many soldiers who do not mean anything. At the present time in history, Cao Cao is not the same high-spirited, but what is the final result, in the face of the Sun-Liu coalition army that is very different from his own strength, Cao Cao is not burned by Zhou Yu's fire and fled in embarrassment. It was a fire in Chibi that burned Cao Jun's greatest reliance. Since then, Cao's army has greatly reduced its strength, and it has not been able to stop the army from moving south for a long time.

Zhao Fei frowned and secretly thought to himself that no matter what, he would not let Cao Jun repeat the mistakes of the past. The fire in Chibi, Zhao Fei categorically would not let Zhou Yu release it.

Cao Cao rewarded all the officials in Xiangyang City, and then he announced to the world, letting the world know that he had taken Jingzhou without blood. The reason for this is to let the princes of the world know how powerful the Cao army is. Second, Cao Jun oppressed people with power, and wanted to make all the princes of the world afraid.

Cao Cao's idea was obviously right, and when the news spread all over the world, all the princes in the world were shocked by this. Everyone knows that Jingzhou is rich, and now Cao Junbing has taken Jingzhou bloodlessly, which is like a tiger with wings. Today's Cao Jun is no longer invincible, and it seems that the surname Cao will soon be in the world.

Jiangxia Changcheng, now Liu Bei is stationed here. This place is a city in Jiangxia County, and after he retreated to Jiangxia, Liu Qi arranged Liu Bei here. Changcheng is too guarded by the mansion, and at this moment Liu Bei is sitting on the main seat with an angry face. Your Highness, Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu Fei sat on his left and right sides.

Liu Bei sat on the main seat angrily, while Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu also had different expressions. Zhuge Liang didn't see any expression on his face, he seemed to be smiling but not smiling, but if you look closely, you will find that Zhuge Liang's eyes are very bright, and his bright eyes reveal superior wisdom.

And Guan Yu, who was opposite Zhuge Liang, had a heavy face, his Danfeng eyes were narrowed into a line, and there was a slight killing intent in his cold eyes. Guan Yu's heavy killing intent has a lot to do with Cao Jun's high spirits. Obviously, Guan Yu couldn't hear the news about Cao Jun's goodness for a day.

After being angry for a while, Liu Bei came back to his senses. Turning his head to look at Zhuge Liang, then Liu Bei asked in a deep voice: "Military Division, what is the situation now, Cai Mao and others in Jingzhou surrendered to the Cao army, and the Cao army took Jingzhou without bloodshed." I'm afraid that in the near future, this Jiangxia land will also be deeply involved in war. ”

Liu Bei's expression was full of worry, but a large part of it, Liu Bei was worried about himself. finally escaped to Jiangxia, thinking that the hundreds of thousands of troops in Jingzhou would hinder Cao's army for a while, and also let himself have time to recuperate. But he didn't expect that the hundreds of thousands of troops in Jingzhou surrendered to Cao's army in this way.

Originally, Liu Bei was very happy, after all, Zhuge Liang went and returned, and there was nothing more pleasing to Liu Bei. But with Liu Cong's surrender to Cao's army, Liu Bei's good mood was suddenly shattered by anger and unwillingness. Knowing this fact, Liu Bei came back after a long time.

Hearing Liu Biao's words, Zhuge Liang suddenly came back to his senses. After getting up and bowing to Liu Beishen, Zhuge Liang said loudly: "For now, the most worrying thing is not you, the lord, but his grandson." If it is as expected, Cao Jun will definitely point to Jiangdong next! ”

After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Biao nodded undeniably, and it was obvious that Zhuge Liang's reply was not what Liu Bei wanted to hear. Now Cao's army has occupied Jingzhou and taken Xiangyang City. In addition, Cao's army surrendered more than 100,000 troops in Jingzhou, and the limelight was unlimited for a while. Now the remaining princes, obviously no one is Cao Jun's opponent. Even if all the princes' forces are gathered, they are not necessarily the opponents of Cao's army. Everyone, now Liu Bei is very helpless.

Seeing Liu Bei's expression, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and then said, "Don't worry, lord, listen to me first." Cao Jun is indeed powerful, but it is not necessarily invincible. Although Cao Jun surrendered more than 100,000 troops in Jingzhou, he obviously would not reuse these soldiers, so the main force of Cao's army was still the soldiers from the north. And this will become Cao Jun's Achilles' heel! Zhuge Liang's eyes were very bright, obviously brewing a really poisonous plan.

Hearing Zhuge Liang say this, Liu Bei's expression was obviously a little sideways. Liu Bei was a little anxious, and then hurriedly asked, "I still hope that the military master will make it clear!" ”

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, and then said: "Although Cao Jun is elite, they are all people from the north, first, they are not familiar with water, and second, the north is dry, while the south of the Yangtze River has a humid climate. The soldiers of the Cao army will inevitably be unaccustomed to the water and soil, and if they fall ill because of this, the combat strength of the Cao army will definitely be lost. ”

"Of course, this is not the most fatal weakness of Cao Jun, if the plague occurs because of the lack of adaptation to water and soil, Cao Jun's hundreds of thousands of elites are afraid that they will be lost in Jingzhou!" Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice. But when he said this, Zhuge Liang showed a look of unbearability.

After listening to Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei obviously also showed a hint of palpitation. When he led his troops to Jingzhou, he was also unaccustomed to the water and soil. But fortunately, there are not many soldiers under his command, and it has not caused any serious consequences. But Cao Jun is different, Cao Jun has an army of more than 100,000 troops, and there will inevitably be many soldiers who are not accustomed to the water and soil at that time, if it is not handled properly, it is very likely to cause a plague as Zhuge Liang said. The climate in Jiangnan is warm and humid, which can easily cause plague.

With this layer of thoughts, Liu Bei's mood was obviously much better. And at this time, Zhuge Liang spoke again: "Even so, our army still can't take it lightly. Cao's army is strong in combat, and if it attacks Jiangxia, our army will still be difficult to resist. So I want to go to Jiangdong and strive to form an alliance with Jiangdong to fight against Cao's army together! ”

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and groaned for a while, then nodded and said: "Since the military advisor has this heart, I naturally won't stop it, but I hope the military advisor will have a smooth trip." ”

"The military advisor's trip must not be smooth, I will send General Chen Zhi to lead a hundred guards to escort you!" Liu Bei hesitated for a moment and spoke again. Now under his command, I am afraid that only Chen Zhi can take on this important responsibility. Thinking of the withering of the talents under his command, Liu Bei's heart was very helpless.

Zhuge Liang obviously didn't have any hypocrisy, he knew that his trip to Jiangdong would not be as smooth as he imagined. The Cao army is strong, hundreds of thousands of troops on the other side of the Chen Bing River, as long as Cao Cao gives an order, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Cao army will suddenly swarm towards Jiangdong to kill. In the face of such a huge threat, there are definitely not a few people who want to surrender. Cai Mao's appearance is not an accidental case, this is the case in Jingzhou, and it is obviously the same in Jiangdong.

Jingzhou is almost dominated by the Cai family, and Liu Cong is just a puppet of Cai Mao. And Jingzhou presumably, although Jiangdong is better, it is obviously not strong to go anywhere. There are many wealthy families in Jiangdong, and these families are intertwined, forming an extremely xenophobic group. Even if the Sun family is the lord of Jiangdong, he has to be very jealous of him.

The wealthy families should put the interests of the family first, so in order to protect the family, these wealthy families are bound to follow Cai Mao and surrender to Cao Jun. And now Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong, is not an iron-blooded person, and under the persecution of many families, it is inevitable that Sun Quan will choose to surrender to Cao Jun.

Before going to Jiangdong, Zhuge Liang analyzed Jiangdong early. Zhuge Liang knew that there was one person in Jiangdong who could play a vital role, and this person was none other than the governor of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin!

This person is a high-ranking and powerful minister, and he is the minister of Jiangdong's humerus, if he can get Zhou Yu's support, he will definitely get the results he wants on this trip. Therefore, everything still needs to be focused on Zhou Yu.
