Everyone has selfish intentions, and Zhuge Liang is no exception, he knows that even if he sends troops from Ba County, even if he defeats Chen Qi, Liu Zhang will still hold it in Cao Cao's palm. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Zhang is a trump card that Cao Cao ordered Liu Xun, and it has been tried and tested, will Cao Cao easily give up this trump card, and it is more difficult to rescue Liu Zhang from Cao Cao's hands than to ascend to the sky.

What's more, is it really useful to rescue it?

Liu Xun has lofty ambitions, forge ahead, and is angry and strong, aiming to help the Han family and crusade against treachery, while Liu Zhang, who is mediocre and unreasonable, has been manipulated by Cao Cao like a puppet in the palm of his hand over the years.

Liu Xun is filial, once Liu Zhang is rescued, maybe Liu Xun will give up the throne of the Lord of Xichuan to Liu Zhang, which is by no means what Zhuge Liang wants to see.

Therefore, Cao Cao's orders had to be listened to, but they couldn't all of them.

It is okay to send troops, but Zhuge Liang resolutely advocates the use of troops against Tongguan.

Liu Xun was puzzled, Zhuge Liang persuaded, "Lord, use troops in Tongguan, Chen Qi will be caught off guard, the chance of winning is greater, take Tongguan, deter Sanfu, Chen Qi will inevitably divide troops to help, when the time comes, the siege of Xiangyang, will be solved, and, in recent years, Cao Cao has been vigorously recruiting troops, and the recruits have also been well tempered on the battlefield in Jiangdong. ”

Liu Xun suddenly had an epiphany, and nodded again and again, "Mr. is smart, and Xun is far behind." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and said secretly in his heart, "In this way, Cao Cao can't find a reason to question Liu Xun." ”

There is another meaning, Zhuge Liang did not say it explicitly, once the troops are sent to Ba County, when the Xichuan soldiers enter Jingzhou, when the time comes, they have to obey Cao Cao's orders, perhaps, Cao Cao will also be greedy and forcibly annex the Xichuan soldiers who entered Jingzhou.

Zhuge Liang naturally didn't want Cao Cao to point fingers at him, nor did he want Xichuan's years of hard work to go down the drain.

Next, Zhuge Liang sent troops and sent a reply to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was helpless when he received the letter.

I heard that I was going to use troops against Tongguan, and all the civil and military forces in Xichuan had just gathered together, rubbing... Before Zhuge Liang could open his mouth, Ma Chao was the first to dodge out of the ranks, and preemptively asked for the order, "Military advisor, Ma Chao is willing to be the vanguard, please give me a sentry, Ma Chao will use the head guarantee of the item, and he will definitely step on the Tongguan Pass." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, and as soon as he picked up the arrow, Huang Zhong also stood up, "Strategist, although the old man is old, he is also willing to ask for the order to fight." ”

Ma Chao had a hot temper, glanced at Huang Zhong, and was about to compete with Huang Zhong, but Zhuge Liang nodded and smiled, "Two generals, it's better to do this, I'll give you one of you an arrow, whoever can take Tongguan first, this army and division will have a heavy reward." ”

Huang Zhong glanced at Ma Chao, happily stepped forward to take the arrow, Ma Chao was helpless, and took the arrow angrily, that night, the soldiers had just eaten, Ma Chao raised his troops and left, all the way non-stop, he wanted to take Tongguan in front of Huang Zhong.

Hearing that Chen Qi sent troops, the entire Jiangdong was boiling, especially when he learned the news that Sun Ce was still alive, Zhou Yu burst into tears of excitement.

Zhou Yu came to Sun Quan that night and asked Sun Quan to leave Qiao, so that Sun Ce and their husband and wife could reunite, Sun Quan didn't want to agree, but he also knew that at the moment he couldn't do without Chen Jie's help, once Chen Qi retreated, Jiangdong would be finished immediately, and after thinking about it again, Sun Quan still agreed.

has been imprisoned in Jiangdong for so many years, Da Qiao hated Sun Quan so much, and Sun Quan's idea of returning the beauty was completely frustrated.

Before, few people knew the news that Sun Ce was still alive, but now, it has already spread all over the world, and even Wu Guotai knows about it.

Of course, Wu Guotai didn't know the specific truth, she mistakenly thought that Sun Ce would not die in a catastrophe and defected to Chen Qi.

Chen cut the troops, the chain reaction caused is not small, the entire Jiangdong, undoubtedly a shocking earthquake, Sun Quan personally led the troops to the city to participate in the battle, even the previous withdrawal of the troops Shanyue, also suddenly from behind Zhang Liao killed.

Zhang Liao was attacked by the enemy on his back and the pressure increased suddenly, Sun Quan was overjoyed in his heart, and he could be regarded as a sigh of relief, of course, he also knew that Shanyue was able to participate in the war again thanks to Lu Xun's lobbying.

Two days later, Chen cut from Fancheng troops, the army came to Xiangyang City, the two armies set up a position outside the city, for a time, the flag sails were spread, the cuffs were flying, the armor of Cao soldiers was distinct, the swords and guns of the righteous army were dazzling, the yellow sand was agitated, and the whole world was full of murderous atmosphere.

Cao Cao transferred 150,000 troops from Jiangdong, 100,000 troops were stationed in Xiangyang, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were supported at any time.

Why did Cao Cao have so few cavalry?

The reason is very simple, Chen Qi ruled the north, and all the Xiongnu and Xianbei who produced horses were in the hands of Chen Qi, and Cao Cao wanted to buy war horses, which was naturally extremely difficult.

In addition to the Xiongnu and Xianbei, another place to produce horses is Xiliang, and Tongguan has been occupied by the rebels over the years, and Cao Cao can not smoothly buy war horses from Liangzhou, as for the detour from Xichuan, Zhuge Liang will not let him get his wish, but Xichuan Liu Xun has continuously bought a lot of high-quality Xiliang horses from Liangzhou.

In other words, in recent years, although Cao Cao's troops have grown, the most elite cavalry has hardly any growth.

"Mengde, I haven't seen you for many years, but it's always good?"

Seeing Cao Cao standing in the middle of the horse, his face was still full of red light, and he looked really good, and the two of them were also fated to be quite fancy, in the past, they were in the Tiger Prison Pass, and they had also fought against Dong Zhuo together, and when they were besieged by the princes of the Eighteenth Road, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others also had a love for Chen Qi, and the two had also drunk wine before the battle.

Seeing that Chen cut the horse forward, Cao Cao naturally refused to weaken his momentum, Cao Cao also urged the horse to come to the front of the formation, Xu Chu and others were just about to rush over, but were stopped by Cao Cao waving his hand.

This calm and calm bearing alone made many rebels awe-inspired.

"Chen Qi, you are so cunning, seeing that I am about to take Jiangdong, you actually sneak attack from behind me."

There were still more than a dozen steps away from Chen Zhuo, Cao Cao grabbed the silk reins, looked up at Chen Zhuo, and smiled coldly.

Chen shook his head and said, "Meng De is not dead, I am uneasy, if it were you, I believe that Meng De will only be more decisive and ruthless than me." ”

Cao Cao raised his head violently, looked up to the sky and laughed, "Chen Qi, I won't tell you, if it were me, I would have started a war against you three years ago." ”

"I think so."

Chen Shu nodded, he naturally did not have the slightest doubt about Cao Cao's ruthlessness and decisiveness.

Immediately Chen Qi turned around and waved his hand, not much effort, Cao Zhi rode out of the righteous army, Cao Cao was stunned, "Since you decided to start a war with me, why didn't you kill Zhi'er?" (To be continued.) )
