Chapter 531: The Filth of the Three Kings
In mid-July, Liu Bei's army set out from Yizhou and launched a tentative attack on Liangzhou.
Liu Bei's Seiko made Lu Bu, the new governor of Liangzhou, very irritable, so he had to lead the army to resist.
Sun Quan of Jingzhou also began to attack Si Li, and Li Yi, who had been waiting for a long time, gave him a blow to the head, beating Sun Quan very badly, and making him defeat and return.
As for Cao Cao, he also assembled a large army and prepared to attack Si Li, and he was very loud along the way, but the speed was as slow as a snail, and the journey of one day actually took ten days.
Cao Cao's actions made Li Yi very funny, this was Cao Cao's counterattack to Sun Quan and Liu Bei, who made them not pay attention to it, by occupying Qingzhou and Yuzhou, blocking the economy of his three eastern states, and stifling his opportunities for development, if you want to strengthen yourself, you need to look at the eyes of the two of them.
Now that the battle began, Cao Cao began to protect his strength and let the two of them go to fight.
Anyway, now he has no territory to border with Li Yi, it is not him who is in a hurry, it is a big deal to flee to other places in the future, he doesn't care, but Liu Bei and Sun Quan are very anxious, and the letters urging him are sent several times a day.
No, the messengers of the two came to Cao Cao's camp at one time.
The two messengers were already acquainted, and they were already familiar with each other many times.
looked at each other and found that they were all depressed, and it was estimated that they had run errands many times, and they were tired of it.
"Alas, how did this King Wei do it, in the past, he led troops like the wind, and his speed was unmatched, but now he is slow." Liu Bei's messenger whispered.
"Yes, it is estimated that he was scared by the day and did not dare to step forward, until the time of the decisive battle between our lord and the day, he was on the field, and he wanted to reap the benefits of the fisherman." Sun Quan's messenger nodded, affirming the other party's words.
The two of them waited outside the camp as they spoke, waiting for the moment to open the door.
As he spoke, the gate of the camp slowly opened, and Guo Jia walked out with a smile on his face.
"Oh, it's really offended to let the two messengers wait, please forgive me for being busy with official business." Guo Jia's cookie-cutter rhetoric has made the two numb.
They have heard this kind of rhetoric more than a dozen times in the past few days, but every time, Guo Jia greeted each other with a smile, leaving them with nothing to say, and besides, Guo Jia's identity was there, and they didn't dare to say anything.
With Guo Jia's strength as the world's first strategist, he will be treated preferentially wherever he goes, which is the benefit of strength.
"Lord Guo Jia, this is a letter from my lord, hand it over to you, and I will complete the task and leave here." Liu Bei's messenger handed the letter to Guo Jia, and then left directly, he even omitted the steps of going in to meet Cao Cao.
Seeing this, Sun Quan's messenger also followed his example, handed the letter to Guo Jia, and then left quickly, it is a time of war, and they have a lot of tasks, and they can't be delayed here casually, otherwise their chief officer will not let them have a good time.
When the two messengers left, Guo Jia smiled slightly, put away the letter, and then walked into the camp as if nothing had happened.
Guo Jia's entry caused the gates of the city to close again, and the soldiers on the city walls began to patrol as if nothing had happened just now.
In the camp, Guo Jia stepped on broken steps, first walked around the quartermaster's office, and then wandered around the camp, and only returned to Cao Cao's residence when he felt hungry.
In the residence, Cao Cao was holding an ancient book in one hand and wine in the other, reading the book beautifully, and did not react to Guo Jia's intrusion at all.
Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, Guo Jia was not surprised, sat down directly, picked up the snacks on the table, and began to fill his stomach.
The sound of Cao Cao's flipping books, Guo Jia's chewing, and the sound of soldiers patrolling outside, there are only these three sounds, and there are no other sounds.
The strange state lasted for a long time, until Cao Cao put down the book and looked at Guo Jia, who closed his eyes and was contemplative.
"Fengxiao, what did the two of them say?" Cao Cao asked angrily.
"It's nothing, just like yesterday's request, let's speed up and wipe out the living force of the day." Guo Jia still closed his eyes and repeated the contents of the letter.
Then the two will no longer talk, anyway, Cao Cao will not speed up, still swaying like this, time is very important to him, his three sons, are training on a large scale in the three eastern states, and waiting for the recruits to become veterans, it takes a lot of time, and time needs him to fight.
As for Cao Cao's way to buy time, that is, not to go to the battlefield, not to fight with Li Yi, as long as the war does not start, then he has no consumption, no consumption, then there is no need to replenish troops, everyone understands the simple and understandable truth, but not everyone can do it.
The entire Cao army camp has about 500 million troops, all of which are elite-level soldiers, these soldiers are Cao Cao's last foundation, if there are heavy losses, then Cao Cao will lose the last chance.
That's why Cao Cao is such a scoundrel, anyway, he has an excuse, he lost the three states, and Liu Bei and Sun Quan didn't dare to force him too much.
"Fengxiao, I don't feel like I have any chance of winning." For a long time, Cao Cao lay on the bed and began to reveal his heart.
Cao Cao's opening made Guo Jia open his eyes, turn his head, and find that Cao Cao had closed his eyes, which was a sign that Cao Cao was tired.
"Really? Could it be that the lord regretted it? Regret joining forces with Liu Bei? Or do you regret fighting with the day? Guo Jia asked calmly.
"It's a little bit, it's more of a day of confusion, I don't know what hole cards he has, even if the three of us go together, the odds of winning are less than 30%, the probability of failure is too great, even I am about to lose confidence." Cao Cao said with a smile.
Listening to Cao Cao's words, looking at his smiling face, Guo Jia knew that this was a sign that Cao Cao was starting to get excited, the more critical the moment, the more excited Cao Cao became, he could always find out the enemy's weakness, and then defeat the strong with the weak.
But this time, even Guo Jia didn't have confidence, if Li Yi could really predict the prophet, then no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't defeat it.
I didn't believe it before, thinking that Li Yi only occupied the special identity of Yiren, so that he could know what would happen in the future.
But the attack of the Huns convinced him that Li Yi had such ability, and the departure of the immortal-level powerhouse let them, the top powerhouses, know that the sky has changed, the rights of the aliens are slowly being reduced, and the era of their aborigines has come.
But even so, Li Yi is still developing rapidly, and it is not something they can compare.
Thinking of this, Guo Jia also closed his eyes, chatted with Cao Cao about the trivial matters of the past, and began to relax before the war, only he could talk to Cao Cao like this.
In the following days, Cao Cao's army continued to advance slowly, Liu Bei and Sun Quan had abandoned Cao Cao, and the two sat together again to discuss how to face Li Yi.
"King Wu, you really shouldn't lose your troops this time, you should be more careful in the face of a day." As soon as Liu Bei met, he told Sun Quan to be careful and not to lose too much.
Sun Quan's strength is now the strongest existence among the three kings, he owns Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and his land population is equivalent to the sum of Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and his combat power is not weak, but this time he attacked Si Li, and the loss of soldiers was two billion, which made his strength drop greatly.
Listening to Liu Bei's obviously mocking words, Sun Quan only had patience, he had just suffered a huge loss, and there was no excuse to refute it.
"Alas, it's all because of Cao Cao, if he had been restrained from the side, I wouldn't have been like this." Sun Quan directly attributed the blame to Cao Cao, so as to clear his own guilt.
The two said a few bad things about Cao Cao together, and then they didn't mention Cao Cao anymore, how to say that Cao Cao is also an ally, just say the unhappiness in your heart and it's over, you can't really attribute the blame to Cao Cao, you also need Cao Cao's strength to deal with Li Yi together.
"I don't know how King Wu will attack Si Li next?" Liu Bei picked up his wine glass and asked first.
"I'm going to attack Si Li next month, I can't let a day have a chance to breathe, even if the loss is huge, I have to make him have no intention of developing ......, Liangzhou, how are you going to attack? The Xiongnu are still in Liangzhou, and they can't let go of this opportunity. After Sun Quan finished speaking, he asked rhetorically, asking Liu Bei how to attack Liangzhou.
With the geographical location of Yizhou, it is easy to attack the southern part of Liangzhou, but there is Lu Bu's defense there, and it is very difficult for Liu Bei to enter Liangzhou.
However, it was not without opportunity, and their spies sent back a message that the Xiongnu were still wreaking havoc in the north of Liangzhou, and more than forty cities had been destroyed, greatly reducing the potential of Liangzhou.
And Liu Bei also observed that there were only a few top generals on the border of Liangzhou, and the others were nowhere to be found.
Sun Quan was skeptical of this news, Liu Bei was completely unbelieving, although the two had communicated the information, but the real information was retained.
Now Liu Bei heard Sun Quan's words, with a smile on his face, but he was very unhappy with Sun Quan in his heart, knowing that this was a trap, and asked me to drill it, this person deserves to be King Wu.
"Well, tomorrow I will send troops to attack Liangzhou, and I can't let go of this good opportunity." Liu Bei smiled and said what he thought.
When Sun Quan heard this, he picked up his wine glass and wished Liu Beiqi a victory.
The false words of the two continued for a long time, and when nothing could be detected, the two dispersed, each returned to his own territory, and began a new round of false attacks.
A large range of troops were mobilized, gathered to the border between Sili and Liangzhou, made an attack posture, and then made a feint a few times, and waited until Li Yijun arrived and evacuated directly.
Then Li Yijun returned to his original position, and they continued to do so, repeatedly performing feints, making Li Yi and Lu Bu speechless.
is full of disdain for Liu Bei and Sun Quan, they are not a little worse than Cao Cao.
In Luoyang City, Li Ru sent the latest battle report and handed it to Li Yi, and said with a ruddy face.
"My lord, the three kings must have been dirty, otherwise the actions of the three would not be so weird."
Li Ru's words made Li Yileng, who was watching the battle report, pause, and after reading the battle report, he was convinced of Li Ru's words, judging from the information, it was Cao Cao who was secretly hacked by Liu Bei and Sun Quan, cutting off Cao Cao's development.
Cao Cao famously took a slow march as an action to resist the two, and secretly practiced frantically.
Liu Bei and Sun Quan's feint attack is estimated to be similar, Shi A's spies detected that the other party's territory was being trained, and the army on the front line was just a branch of the army that was about to retire, and the two were still very smart, and they took some old soldiers to send them to death.
"Wen You, inform Lu Bu and ask him to speed up his training, it's really impossible to enter the grassland." Li Yi thought about it and commanded directly.
The three kings all began to train their troops, and he could not lag behind, and whoever fell behind would lose everything.
