In fact, the current war situation is very similar to Liu Bei's first Northern Expedition.

The main force of the Jingzhou Army is in Nanyang, and the main force of the Jiangdong Army is in Jiangbei, both sides have made a lot of progress, naturally there are no other forces and minds to think about backstabbing allies, so they can only work together to attack Cao Wei.

To some extent, it also proves that Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair" is correct. I can't imagine that Sun Quan in history can't even beat Hefei!

During the first Northern Expedition, Guan Yu once transferred Wang Ji, Zhou Tai, Shi Bao and others to the north to support his attack on Nanyang, but he left a back hand and let Xu Shu go to guard Jiangling.

And now, what Xu Shu means, as long as Wen Ping, Shi Bao, and Zhang Ren do not move, and watch the Yangtze River waterway and Jingnan, then Wang Ji of Nanjun can rest assured that he will transfer troops to the north, even if Nanjun is emptied, it is not a big problem.

In fact, this is still a bit risky, in case there is another talent like Lu Meng in Jiangdong, and if he crosses the river in white clothes again to deceive the monitoring posts along the river, Nanjun is still in danger of being breached.

In fact, not only Xu Shu knew this, but Guan Yu also knew it, but the two of them didn't care.

In history, Lü Meng was able to quickly capture Jingzhou because Guan Yu's base camp was only one Nanjun, as long as he captured Nanjun, Guan Yu could be completely locked between Nanjun and Xiangyang, and was attacked by Sun Cao's two families, Guan Yu had no way to retreat.

But now, Guan Yu's base camp is in Xiangyang, even if Jiangdong backstabs him again, allowing him to capture Nanjun. Nanjun is in the encirclement of Jiangxia, Xiangyang, and Wuling counties, where is this to sneak attack, this is to send death.

If Sun Quan really wanted to do this, Guan Yu could immediately return to Xiangyang, and then contact Jiangxia's Wenpin, and attack Sun Quan on both sides. Cao Pi won't stand up for Sun Quan, he can't wait to watch the show.

Therefore, Xu Shu believes that although this will put Nanjun at risk, it will not affect the overall situation.

As for the mediocre. In fact, the risk is a little smaller than that of South County.

Zhang He is indeed a difficult person, but his responsibilities are heavy.

After Guanzhong lost the barrier in the north of Yongzhou, the biggest defensive barrier in Chang'an was the two places of left Feng Yi and right Fufeng, Zhang He was responsible for guarding the right Fufeng, Kou Feng did not lead the army to attack him, he was already very good, Zhang He would never dare to risk entering the army.

After all, the last Northern Expedition was when Kou Feng, with the help of Meng Da, took advantage of the opportunity of Xu Huang's return to the rescue to break through the Fufeng guard Wang Jing in one fell swoop, and broke into the right Fufeng, causing the entire Yongliang battle situation to collapse.

Even if Zhang He wanted to take the risk of entering the army, Cao Zhen of Chang'an would never agree to Zhang He doing so.

Therefore, it is not a risky thing to transfer mediocre soldiers to Nanyang to support.

Guan Yu thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to follow Xu Shu's suggestion and transfer the soldiers and horses of Shangyong and Nanjun to the north, adding up to nearly 40,000 soldiers, plus now Guan Yu has brought 50,000 people, with 90,000 to 30,000, this is the cost of a war.

Still. The next day, Guan Yu still took 500 soldiers from the headquarters to challenge at the gate of Zhang Liao's camp.

On the one hand, he can't lose face, the military council said that he would continue to find Zhang Liao to fight alone, Guan Yu can't say it himself.

Therefore, Deng Ai still had to follow the cold wind for a few days.

On the other hand, Guan Yu also used this method to try to paralyze Zhang Liao and cover up his troop transfer.

From Shangyong to Nanyang near the point, but from the transmission of the military order to the eastward march of Shangyong Koufeng's entire army, it will take at least ten days and half a month to do so, and it will take at least twenty days to transfer troops from Nanjun to the north.

During this time, Zhang Liao could not be allowed to take precautions in advance.

And Zhang Liao at this time. Zhang Liao is also worried.

It's not that Guan Yu is worried about running to his side every day to fight, there is really no need to worry about this, as long as he is thick-skinned enough and closes the door of the village, Guan Yu likes to blow the wind in the winter, and he is just free to do it, anyway, it is impossible for him to fight alone.

But not going head-to-head with Guan Yu doesn't mean that Zhang Liao can keep it with such peace of mind.

Actually, Zhang Liao really has the heart to just consume it, anyway, the Great Wei family has a big business, fight for consumption, you Guan Yu consumed more energy than me?!

Zhang Liao thinks so, but Cao Pi doesn't think so.

A few days ago, Cao Pi wrote a letter to Zhang Liao. It is a private letter, not an edict.

In the letter, after expressing his condolences to Zhang Liao for guarding Wancheng, Cao Pi vaguely expressed a layer of meaning - Cao Pi hoped that Zhang Liao could try to repel the Shu army in Jingzhou under the premise of ensuring the safety of Wancheng, and then draw troops to support other battlefields.

Of course, Cao Pi's big premise is to ensure the safety of Wancheng.

According to the interpretation in the letter, Zhang Liao's main task now is to ensure the safety of Wancheng. But the Son of Heaven has written such a private letter to you, can Zhang Liao really treat the things mentioned in this letter as a do-can-do thing?!

For this reason, Zhang Liao is worried.

I'm only 30,000 people, relying on fortifications to defend Wancheng, but I can still do it, I want to run out to find Guan Yu for a decisive battle, and the 50,000 Jingzhou troops who repelled Guan Yu in a battle are joking, right?!

But when Zhang Liao carefully understood the battle reports of all parties and analyzed the situation on the entire battlefield, Zhang Liao found that there was indeed a reason why Cao Pi said this.

The battle situation in the direction of Guanzhong, Zhang Liao has not yet received the latest battle report, at this time Zhang Liao did not know the news that Chen Cangdao had been broken through, only knew that Guo Huai led the army to confront the main force of the Shu army in Wuzhangyuan.

But at this time, Zhang Liao still knew that Guo Huai had lost two lines of defense in the confrontation in Wuzhangyuan, and only relied on one defense line in the eastern region to hold on, and the whole was at a disadvantage.

Although it will not allow the Shu army to break through Wuzhangyuan, but the soldiers in the Guanzhong area, none of them can be mobilized, in case the Shu army breaks through Guo Huai's obstruction and breaks into Guanzhong, then these remaining soldiers are the main force to defend Chang'an.

And the intelligence in the east is the real reason why Cao Pi vaguely hopes that Zhang Liao's side can break the situation.

Cao Pi didn't want to write such a letter to Zhang Liao, although Cao Pi was indeed much worse than his father Cao Cao in terms of martial arts, but he was not a person who didn't understand the battle formation, and he also followed Cao Cao on the expedition in his early years, and he knew a little bit about the military formation.

The lord disregards the situation on the battlefield and forces the generals below to fight, which is a taboo on the battlefield, and Cao Pi will not make such a low-level mistake.

But the problem is that Cao Pi really can't do it now.

From the Central Plains to Guanzhong, there is a three-front war, and it is two families bullying one. If it weren't for Cao Cao's thick enough foundation, Cao Pi would have finished playing a long time ago.

But even so, the current situation has given Cao Pi a lot of headaches.

In the direction of the western front, Guanzhong and Chang'an are still confronting, and they can't tell the winner for a while, but it is impossible for Cao Pi not to know the importance of Guanzhong, so for Cao Zhen, Cao Pi As long as Cao Zhen can hold Chang'an, he will naturally not be expected to break the situation.

And on the Eastern Front. It could be said to be a mess there.

Originally, Cao Pi also planned to recapture Qingxu Erzhou after ascending the throne and add a little military merit to himself Seriously, Cao Pi felt that this was really not a difficult matter, after all, in the hinterland of the Central Plains, the cavalry of the battle array came first, and the soil buns in Jiangdong, where is the cavalry?!

But who knows, Jiangdong doesn't fight with you in the plains, but preemptively attacks Xiapi City, and when Zang Ba reacts, the three-way army has already besieged Xiapi.

And what's even more odious is that Cao Xiu and Jia Kui, who are still at odds at this time, made Zhou Yu, a person in Huainan, jump out of the interception circle and go north to attack Xiapi.

Well, Zhou Yu has already jumped out, and it doesn't make much sense to hold anyone accountable at this time, so Cao Pi ordered Cao Xiu and Jia Kui to quickly lead troops to reinforce Pengcheng, as long as Pengcheng is held, then there is still hope for a counterattack.

But that bastard Cao Xiu actually set off before his edict arrived, and went south to attack Shouchun To be honest, if Cao Xiu was not surnamed Cao, Cao Pi really wanted to directly remove Cao Xiu's military power.

But the development of things after that really moved Cao Pi to remove Cao Pi's military power. This bastard, with more than 20,000 people, besieged Shouchun, who was guarded by less than 5,000 people, fought for almost a month, and was stunned that he didn't take it down?!

This bastard, he doesn't have the surname Cao at all, he should be surnamed Sun, right?!

If this is the case, Cao Pi will not be in a hurry.

The real trouble is that Peng Cheng has already told him three times, hoping that he can send reinforcements.

Originally, as Zang Ba preserved his combat strength as much as possible and retreated to Pengcheng, Xu Huang also led troops to reinforce Pengcheng in time, and even Jia Kui took 3,000 people to Pengcheng in person, in terms of troops, the Pengcheng defenders led by Xu Huang were not much worse than the Jiangdong Army.

There are probably more than 30,000 defenders in Pengcheng, and the main force of the Jiangdong Army, even if you count the troops brought by Zhou Yu, is only more than 45,000 people, and if you simply stick to Pengcheng, there is not much of a problem.

can't stand it, there is a scheming Zhou Gongjin on the other side!

It seems that the update time is set incorrectly, and the first two chapters are reversed. I don't know how to adjust it back yet
