Cao Cao wanted to move the capital, but not the capital of the Great Wei, but the capital of the Han Dynasty.

The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is in Xudu, and Xudu is too close to Xiangyang.

To put it mildly, if Geng Ji Weihuang contacted Guan Yu to launch a rebellion at this time, then Cao Cao might not have time to react at all, and the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty would be picked up by Guan Yu.

Xu Du is already very unsafe, and he must move the emperor of the Han Dynasty to Luoyang, or even Hebei.

And the same problem, Guan Yu defeated Fancheng, Fancheng is also very close to Wancheng, the entire Nanyang County will be unstable, and once Nanyang County is unstable, Chang'an will also be unstable.

At this time, the Hou Yin rebellion in Wancheng was still continuing, and although Cao Ren defeated Hou Yin several times, Wancheng had not been completely taken in the end.

Once Guan Yu and Hou Yin jointly attacked Cao Ren before Cao Ren defeated Hou Yin, Cao Ren could not escape a big defeat.

In this way, Guan Yu will occupy the entire Jingzhou, and then peek into the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Cao Cao certainly couldn't allow this kind of thing to happen.

Therefore, Cao Cao convened a meeting of the civil and military officials in his camp to discuss the next response plan.

Most of the people advocated moving the capital to temporarily avoid Guan Yu's edge, and as for Wancheng, they could also give up temporarily, let Cao Ren withdraw his troops and go to Luoyang to defend it, while Cao Cao sent troops to defend Wuguan and defend Chang'an to prevent Guan Yu from going north.

Then Cao Cao personally led the army south to intercept Guan Yu.

There were only two people, and different scenarios were proposed.

One is a Ping'a person, named Jiang Ji.

The other is a native of Hanoi, named Sima Yi.

The two of them agreed on the same opinion, believing that although Guan Yu's flooding of the Seventh Army sounded scary, it was not Guan Yu's strategy in the end, but it was just a coincidence that caused the Han River to skyrocket, and it did not prove that Guan Yu had the ability to sneak attack Xudu or attack Wancheng.

But once Cao Cao moved the capital, the impact was too great, and it would even give people a feeling that Cao Cao was afraid of Guan Yu's attack, once that time came, the Central Plains would be in the middle of the people's hearts, and it would be too difficult to clean it up.

Guan Yu Danfan has a bit of political acumen, and he will definitely contact those who are dissatisfied with Cao Cao in Runan, Sili and other places to start an incident, in this case, the Central Plains will be full of flames and return to the era of princes.

Therefore, the capital must not be moved, even if troops are sent to strengthen the defense of Xudu, the capital cannot be moved.

Again, both of them think that Guan Yu captured Fancheng, and Jiangdong Sun Quan may not be happy to see this scene.

Once Liu Bei captures Hanzhong, goes out of the three eastern counties in the east, and connects Xiangyang, then Liu Bei's territory will be completely connected, and while the forces will develop rapidly, they will also completely block the space for Jiangdong to develop to the west.

Sun Quan may not be willing to see Liu Bei become stronger.

Therefore, both of them thought that they could contact Sun Quan in Jiangdong and ask him to send troops to attack Nanjun and cut off Guan Yu's back route.

Regardless of whether this thing is successful or not, it can make Guan Yu have some scruples and dare not go north easily.

At this time, Cao Cao, the king of Wei, had enough time to march into Hanzhong, support Xiahou Yuan, and thwart Liu Bei's plot to capture Hanzhong.

Both of them believe that although the loss of Xiangfan will open the door to the hinterland of the Central Plains, Cao Cao's soldiers in the Central Plains have the advantage in combat strength, and it is not that there is no strong city and danger to defend, and the problem is not big.

But if Hanzhong is lost, Cao Cao will lose the springboard to advance Yizhou, and at the same time, Longyou and Guanzhong may be attacked by Liu Bei's group at any time.

The land of Guanzhong may be better, if Liu Bei's group wants to attack Guanzhong, it must first cross the Qinling Mountains, which is not an easy task.

But it's hard to say about Longyou.

As long as Liu Bei's group occupies Longshan and realizes the breakoff of Longshan, it is equivalent to cutting off the connection between Guanzhong and Longyou.

With Longyou's rebellion and rebellion for more than a hundred years, he will definitely not obey the orders of the imperial court again, and he will definitely unite with Liu Bei.

Once Liu Bei happens to be the major forces in Liangzhou, and the entire Longyou obeys Liu Bei's orders, then Liu Bei's group can send troops from Qinling and Longyou to attack Guanzhong at the same time, and Guanzhong may really not be able to hold it.

Therefore, Xiangfan is not important, Hanzhong is the most important, and we must stick to Hanzhong.

Cao Cao pondered for a long time, and finally decided to adopt the strategy of Jiang Ji and Sima Yi, and with Jiang Ji as an envoy, he went to Jiangdong to contact Sun Quan.

Cao Cao personally wrote a letter to Sun Quan, saying that as long as Sun Quan sent troops to attack Nanjun, after the matter was completed, Cao Cao would make Sun Quan the general of the chariot and cavalry, Wu Hou, and Jiuxi in the name of the imperial court, which was equivalent to admitting Sun Quan's secession of the Jiangnan region in disguise.

Although Liu Bei also once praised Sun Quan as a chariot general, it was only an acknowledgment between Liu Bei and Sun Quan, at the court level, Sun Quan was still just a captive general, and even the Shixie of Jiaozhou did not recognize Sun Quan as a chariot general.

But now Cao Cao named Sun Quan as the general of the chariot and cavalry in the name of the imperial court, Marquis Wu, and added Jiuxi, which gave Sun Quan a clear legal basis for ruling Jiangdong, and the title of Marquis of Wu and the treatment of Jiajiuxi also represented that Sun Quan had further possibilities.

This is obviously much more effective than Liu Bei's fake polite performance.

After making a promise to Sun Quan, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Shang to lead 10,000 soldiers to support Cao Ren, so that Cao Ren could quell the rebellion of Wancheng Houyin as soon as possible, and at the same time sent Sima Yi to lead 10,000 soldiers to Xudu to strengthen the defense, and at the same time gave Sima Yi the title of Prime Minister Changshi, so that he could lead the defense of Xudu.

After doing this, Cao Cao continued to sit in Chang'an, waiting for the situation to change.

On the Jiangdong side, as Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, the news of the breakthrough of Fancheng reached Lukou, and Lukou's defender Lü Meng fell ill.

Yes, he was really sick, and Lu Meng was indeed sick.

Lu Meng, this person, was a fierce general who charged into battle in the early days, and he was known for his bravery in battle, and it was impossible for such a person to have no injuries on his body.

When I was young, I was in good health and could still carry it, but now that I am getting older, the role of injury is reflected.

In addition, since taking over Lu Su, Lu Meng has to deal with both military affairs and government affairs every day, and he himself has no ability to deal with government affairs before, so he can only deal with it while studying. There are more and more things, I can't sleep until late every day, and I have to get up the next day when the rooster crows, and Lu Meng's body is a little unbearable.

Several external factors add up, Lu Meng is indeed sick, and it is not a day or two.

But these minor illnesses and disasters are not a big problem at all, and the reason why Lü Meng is sick is completely to hide people's eyes and ears, in order to secretly return to Jianye to see Sun Quan, and persuade Sun Quan to attack Jingzhou.

Now Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and broke through Fancheng, then Xiangyang behind him is a lonely city, and sooner or later it will be breached.

In this way, the essence of Jingzhou was all occupied by Liu Bei Group.

Koto can only occupy some leftovers.

This is not supposed to be.

You must know that before the Battle of Chibi, that Liu Bei didn't even have a place to stay, and Jiang Xia was not strictly speaking Liu Bei's, he was just sending people under the fence.

As a result, after the Battle of Chibi, Jiangdong exerted his death force and repelled Cao Cao, but all the benefits were swallowed by that Liu Bei.

Now Liu Bei has occupied the most elite part of Jingzhou, and Jiangdong can only get some leftovers, why?!

Again, he Liu Bei didn't allow Jiangdong to take Xichuan, but he went to seize it himself, and he said before that he would divide Xichuan into two counties in Jingnan, and in the end he didn't talk much, we took Changsha and Guiyang, and he also led troops to fight for it, why?!

People like this who are inconsistent and untrustworthy, is it necessary for us to be allies with them?!

And from a military point of view, once Liu Bei crosses the two states of Jingyi and occupies the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, then our Jiangdong will be completely under the front of other people's troops, and when people want to attack us, it completely depends on the mood of others.

Probably these are the meanings, Lu Meng and Sun Quan discussed it for a long time, and finally moved Sun Quan.

Seriously, Sun Quan has really felt very unbalanced over the years.

In the first battle of Chibi back then, it was you Liu Bei who begged us to Jiangdong, if it weren't for our Jiangdong to send troops to fight against Cao, you Liu Bei would have let Cao Cao be destroyed a long time ago.

After repelling Cao Cao, Liu Bei's guy encroached everywhere in the east and west, but swallowed most of the land in Jingzhou, and Jiangdong did not get any benefits except for a southern county.

If it weren't for Cao Cao's great power and Lu Su's insistence at that time, Sun Quan would have wanted to ask Liu Bei a long time ago, why do you occupy most of Jingzhou and give us a southern county?!

Later, because of Lu Su's strong advocacy and Zhou Yu's consent, the two families finally exchanged land, although they suffered a little loss, but considering that they didn't have to directly face Cao Cao's pressure, Sun Quan also agreed, but why didn't I go to Yizhou, I could only go and get it?!

Not to mention the rest of the matter, Sun Quan was on fire when he thought of it.

Standing in Sun Quan's position, he really hates Liu Bei, if it weren't for Liu Bei standing in front of him, maybe the person who now occupies Jingzhou, all Yizhou, and half of the country is himself.

The strategy that Lu Su designed for himself back then has been realized.

In this way, whether it is to go north to compete with Cao Cao, or to divide the south of the Yangtze River to defend itself, there is a basis for advance and retreat, and it is very easy and comfortable.

Now it's okay, I have only half of Jingzhou in my hand for so many years, Huainan has fought four times and still hasn't beaten down, although I once saw the hope of marching into Qingxu, but this hope was quickly shattered.

Therefore, Sun Quan is also thinking about whether he must unite with Liu Bei.

Now that Liu Bei is fighting Han, Guan Yu's occupation of Xiangfan is already a sure thing, so if Liu Bei continues to sit big, and he can't break through the Huainan front line and march to Qingxu, then wouldn't he be suffocated to death in Jiangdong? !

This one definitely won't work.

Therefore, Sun Quan secretly ordered Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao to go to the palace to discuss matters.

Sun Shiwan finally decided that he was going to backstab.
