Chapter 165: Dongwu asks for help
Everyone was stunned, looking at each other, shocked and disbelieving, but Cao Cao has always been eclectic in employing people, and since he has made a decision, he will not discuss more.
Xun You said: "The Wu army is defeated, and it will definitely ask Jingzhou for help, and the prime minister needs to take precautions as soon as possible." ”
Cao Cao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I am going to send troops out of Huainan this time, and I am trying to send troops to Jingzhou, break its alliance, and let the two families of Sun and Liu attack each other, and reap the benefits of the fisherman!" ”
Xun You was surprised: "It turns out that the prime minister has a clever plan, but I don't know what to arrange?" ”
Cao Cao turned his head to look at Cao Chun: "Peng Hu and the others are ready?" ”
Cao Chun hugged his fists and said: "Peng Li thief heard that the prime minister wanted to show him as a general, and sealed the inner marquis, so he happily returned to obedience, and was waiting for the battle, ready to make meritorious service." ”
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Immediately inform Peng Hu that he will send troops to attack him as soon as the Jingzhou fleet passes through Peng Lize. ”
"Yes!" Cao Chun sent someone to deliver the message immediately.
Xun You twisted his beard and smiled: "This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone!" ”
"Three Birds!" Cao Cao stretched out three fingers and said with a smug smile: "Whether Peng Hu succeeds or not, the Sun and Liu families will definitely fight each other; stirred up the Yuzhang Rebellion, and Sun Quan had no time to go north; If I can take the opportunity to kill Guan Yu, I can get rid of the big trouble in my heart. It's a pity that Yun Chang refuses to be used by me in the end, and my heart is like ashes! ”
Xun You was slightly stunned: "How did the prime minister know that Guan Yu was coming?" ”
Cao Cao said: "If Jingzhou wants to support, Jiangxia is recently, in order to show the sincerity of the alliance, Liu Qi will definitely send a general to lead the troops, Guan Yunchang is now Jiangxia Taishou, how can there be no reason not to come?" ”
Xun You shook his head and said: "Jiangxia soldiers and horses, there is an enmity with Eastern Wu, Guan Yu is arrogant, if you go to Jiangdong, I am afraid it will be self-defeating." Even if Liu Qi doesn't know, Wolong and Phoenix Chicks will definitely be able to see it, but I don't think so. ”
"Oh?" Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he laughed after a moment: "No matter who comes, I plan to make him fight between the two families, and taking Jiangnan is only in front of me." ”
……
Zhuge Jin came to Xiangyang again and found that there were new changes here, and the shops on the two streets were changed a lot, the most eye-catching was the "Huaji Medical College" opposite the school palace.
Here was originally several rows of buildings, came to Jingzhou to avoid the chaos of the famous scholars and Confucian students, can temporarily live here, now built a tall archway, than the opposite school palace is more magnificent.
"Aiming to give magic medicine to the living, and the heart will save the world!" Zhuge Jin looked at the gilded characters carved on both sides of the archway, and wondered: "What famous doctor in Jingzhou has such a bearing?" ”
Pang Ji, who was in charge of the reception, said with a smile: "Look at the name and guess one or two, the academy sacrificial wine is the divine doctor Hua Tuo, and the other two are also very famous, they are the sons of the imperial doctor Ji Ping, in the past, because of the edict of the clothes, Ji Ping was killed by Cao Cao, the two sons fled to the mountains, and were spared, and met Hua Tuo by chance, and heard about the war in Nanyang, so they went to Jingzhou together to avoid chaos. ”
"It turned out to be after Tadashi!" Zhuge Jin nodded slightly, looked at the two rows of words again, stroked his beard and said: "The archway is also quite innovative." ”
Pang Ji said with a smile: "This is General Liu's idea, and during the Spring Festival this year, this text is posted on the doors and doors of various houses to inspire people." Because of its pairs and up-and-down associations, it is called 'couplet', which has now swept Jingzhou and is very popular. ”
"General Liu's youthful ambition can always be unexpected!" Zhuge Jin sighed.
Since I met Liu Qi, I found that this person seems simple and peaceful, but in fact it is unfathomable and elusive.
Last time I went to Xiangyang with Lu Su, I saw Liu Qi vigorously supporting business and improving the status of businessmen, and the two also discussed that this move would definitely provoke people's impetuousness, everyone would pursue profits, and everyone would make money, and Jingzhou would probably have no more celebrities in the next generation.
Now that Liu Qi attaches great importance to doctors, seeing that this pomp is on a par with scholars, in the future, the three religions and nine streams will be able to enter and exit the temple, does it have to cause chaos?
After thinking about it, the two came to the mansion, Liu Qi had already heard the report and waited, and when he saw the ceremony, he sat down, and Zhuge Jin was busy asking about the situation in Guanzhong.
When he arrived in Xiakou, he learned that Ma Teng rebelled and broke through Chang'an, and Liu Qi had just returned to Jingzhou.
Liu Qi gave a brief introduction and said with a smile: "Cao Thief led 300,000 troops out of Huainan to watch Jiangdong, Mr. came to Jingzhou at this time, I'm afraid it wasn't to look for Kong Ming for a long time, right?" ”
Zhuge Jin said, "The Cao army is powerful, and the Sun and Liu families have agreed to fight against Cao together. ”
Liu Qi said: "This time there is chaos in Guanzhong, Cao Cao will definitely retreat, and Wu Hou is too worried." ”
"The general said this, is he unwilling to send troops?" Zhuge Jin said unhappily: "The previous marriage alliance between the two families, I and Zijing returned to Jiangdong, which was deeply appreciated by Wu Hou, but now I have not yet married, so I shirk it like this, so how can I recover my life?" If I return in vain, I'm afraid that not only will the alliance fail, but Wu Hou will come to Jingzhou with Cao Thief! ”
"Oh?" Liu Qi frowned slightly, and asked rhetorically: "General Sun is in the six counties, the soldiers are good enough to eat, there are many heroes in Jiangbiao, and the Northern Army is not good at water warfare, so why is he afraid of thieves and cowardice?" ”
Zhuge Jin sighed: "The general doesn't know, most of the people in Jiangdong are willing to accept the status quo, a corner of peace, and because of the battle of Hefei last year, they are timid. ”
Liu Qi sighed in his heart, Dongwu had such a mentality, no wonder Cao Cao would choose to fight them first.
Compared with the Battle of Chibi, the situation is already much better, and I still want to seek peace, so I am so compromised, who will you fight if you don't fight?
If it weren't for Zhou Yu and Lu Su, there would be a possibility of falling from the wind, and everyone would want to try the effect.
I think that when Sun Ce was there, all of them were Jiangdong heroes, decisive and invincible.
Now that Sun Quan is in power, they have all become Jiangdong rats, hesitating and cowering.
The weaker the strength, the more powerful and self-reliant, only in this way can we win a glimmer of life, whether it is a man or a country, this is the truth.
Although Sun Quan's compromise with the Jiangdong family stabilized the situation, it also became a stumbling block to the Sun family's hegemony, and it was difficult to go further.
Thinking of this, Liu Qi frowned and said: "The founding of the country still needs self-improvement, if the people of Jiangdong are like this, even if I fully support it, I am afraid it will not help." ”
Zhuge Jin sighed: "The soldiers of Jiangdong avoided the war one by one, Zhang Zhao and others had the heart to return Lujiang and ask for peace with Cao Thief, fortunately, Zhou Dudu and Cheng Pu and other veterans tried their best to fight, and Wu Hou had sent troops to the north." But after all, there are few soldiers in Eastern Wu, and it is difficult to support them alone, and this is the time to verify the friendship between the two families. Wu Hou was angry, and it is unknown whether he took risks. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Qi had no choice but to reply: "Transferring troops and dispatching generals is not child's play, sir, let's go to the pavilion to rest, and after I discuss with the civil and military forces, it is not too late to transfer troops." ”
Zhuge Jin urged: "Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, the general must not delay for too long." ”
Liu Qi sent Zhuge Jin away, and immediately sent people to invite Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and Pang Tong to come to discuss the matter.
Ma Teng took Chang'an, the siege of Hanzhong was relieved, and Yang Song had returned to Hanzhong to pick up Zhang Lu to send troops to attack Liu Zhang, and divided Xichuan into a total of Xichuan.
Jingzhou was secretly planning to enter Shu, and Sun Quan was frightened by Cao Cao's 300,000 horses and horses, and ran to ask for help, disrupting his plan.
