Everyone in the tent was stunned after hearing this, but Guo Jia's young reaction was fast enough, and he hurriedly asked: "Wenhe wants to use the official as bait to lure Sun Quan to attack Hefei?" Sun Quan and Ma Teng are different."

"Definitely."

Jia Xu arched his hand at Guo Jia and explained: "The situation of Jianghuai and Yongliang is different, then Sun Quan is already the lord of Jiangdong, and he also attacked Sun Ce's Marquis of Wu, it is useless to lure with officials, and Long Xiang surrendered Tai Shici, the two families have already turned against each other, we just need to add a fire." ”

"Add to the fire? Where to add? Huainan? ”

As soon as Guo Jia's questioning ended, Jia Xu nodded in affirmation: "Yes, didn't Long Xiang use General Zhang to coerce him to play Tai Shi Ci as the Tai Shou of Jiujiang?" Ming Gong can push the boat down the river and agree, and then give Long Xiang a general's name, temporarily recognizing him as the lord of Huainan, do you think Sun Quan will endure it? ”

"This"

"Definitely not."

Liu Fu interrupted Guo Jia and raised his hand to add: "I saw Xun Lingjun in Xudu, and I knew that Sun Quan beheaded Huang Zu, captured Jiangxia, and tried in vain to capture Jiangling, an important town in Jingzhou, which shows that this person is eager to repay and is very ambitious. ”

"Well, what happened in Jingzhou, we just received information, and we should give birth to a son like Sun Zhongmou."

Cao Cao sighed, and said to himself: "That Sun Quan's blood is strong, if I use Wenhe's strategy, how can he endure it?" And Long Xiang is good at defending the city, I really expect them to fight each other, wonderful, wonderful. ”

Guo Jia happily accosted: "If Longxiang and Sun Quan become powerful and prosperous, Jianghuai will be in war for a long time, which will be of great benefit to Ming Gong in the future, and this matter can be settled today, so that Yuan Ying (Liu Fu) can convey it to Xu." ”

"It's a good strategy, but this general" Xun You looked at Jia Xu and stopped talking.

Jia Xu looked at Cao Cao and said: "It's best to have a point, and how to choose it depends on Ming Gong's decision." ”

"Something?"

Cao Cao frowned and rubbed his temples, and suddenly a hint of inspiration jumped into his mind, patted the case and said with a smile: "Everyone, how is the general of Fenglong Xiang?" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and said in their hearts, "Aren't you playing a prank?" Sun Jian's general title is to break the captive, and the canonization of Sun Quan was changed to begging for capture in order to make a difference, if the imperial court gave this title to Long Xiang, wouldn't it be a public insult to Sun Quan?

After a short silence in the big tent, Xun Yu took the first step and asked: "Ming Gong, Po Yu is Sun Jian's general, before Feng Long Xiang Huaixin Lieutenant, it was similar to Sun Ce Huaiyi's Lieutenant, now if you give Long Xiang Po Ju General, wouldn't you first let him be Sun Quan's brother, and let him be Sun Quan's father."

"Isn't it possible?"

Cao Cao was also a little hesitant, the Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, he was just joking just now, and now he doesn't feel right when he thinks about it.

Seeing this, Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "I thought this number was just right, General Breaker is not exclusive to Sun Jian, if Sun Quan himself is seated, and it is an edict of the imperial court, what does it have to do with Duke Ming?" ”

"Haha, that's a good point."

Cao Cao stroked his palms and said wonderfully, and then quipped: "Dong Zhuo's broken general was canonized before Sun Jian, Sun Quan can't always be his father, right?" Do you think Dong Zhuo is also a father? ”

Xu You's plan to flood the city was originally beautiful, but it was covered up by two bad things in Huainan and Chang'an, which made Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others climb to the head again.

Seeing that Cao Cao liked bad tastes so much, Xu You boldly echoed and said: "What Ming Gong said is extremely true, as the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, I heard that Long Xiang is slightly older than Sun Quan, even if Sun Quan regards him as his father, I think it is okay." ”

"Ziyuan also sees it that way?" Cao Cao looked at Xu You in surprise.

Seeing that everyone's eyes returned to him, Xu You cleared his throat and said: "I thought that even if Sun Quan didn't think so, Ming Gong should write a special book about him and send someone to Jiangdong to interpret the meaning of the general, I don't believe that Sun Quan can bear it." ”

"Very good, Ziyuan is talented and quick-witted, and he is really whimsical."

Cao Cao nodded again and again, and praised him in public.

The more Xu You was praised, the more he had ideas, and he added: "As the Duke of Shicai Ming said, 'giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou', can you transfer flowers and trees to Long Xiang's head?" ”

"Good!"

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, spit out a good word for a long time, and then instructed Liu Fu to say: "The princes have contributed a lot of ideas today, can Yuan Ying write them down one by one?" If it doesn't work, write it down. ”

Liu Fu arched his hand and nodded: "It's all written down, I promise that it will be word for word, and I will transfer it to Xun Lingjun." ”

"That'll be fine."

Cao Cao waved his hand to disperse, but left Jia Xu and Liu Fu behind, ready to continue to discuss matters in the northwest.

Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, or it can be said that giving birth to a son should be like a dragon and clouds.

Soldier to soldier, general to general, junior to junior.

Cao Cao's jealousy of Liu Bei was always higher than that of Long Xiang, and he didn't even regard Long Xiang as an opponent.

As it turned out, Cao Cao's jealousy was justified.

Liu Fu took a bag of tips, went out of Hebei with Cao Hong and Cao Xiu, and finally parted ways by the Yellow River.

Ercao took a boat up the Shuojiang River, and Liu Fu rode south to Xudu.

Both sides were halfway to the road, and after Liu Bei's troops feinted around Gan Ning from the Yellow River, he cooperated with Zhang Fei to take Tongguan from the front in one fell swoop.

Zhong Miao was frightened that he couldn't fight the enemy, so he went all the way east to Luoyang to meet Ercao, and after handing over the army, he ran to Xudu.

When it comes to fighting, Zhong Xuan considers himself a layman.

Cao Hong saw that Tongguan had been lost, and suggested that the troops should retreat to Luoyang, while Cao Xiu believed that Liu Bei had few troops and that rapid expansion was easy to take care of one or the other, and he should confront him to the west.

If the enemy advances, retreat again.

Cao Hong listened to his words, allocated 3,000 troops to Cao Xiu, and himself Chen Bing Hangu.

The result was really as Cao Xiu expected, Liu Bei took Tongguan and came to an abrupt end, and Cao Xiu then stationed troops in Hongnong, as Cao Hong's outpost, monitoring the movement of Tongguan.

With Zhuge Liang's steadiness, how can he be dangerous?

There is Tongguan to block Cao's army, and Liu Bei's goal is to stand firm in Guanzhong, and then Tuntian to raise armor, welcome the Son of Heaven, take Hanzhong, and set the northwest, and then enter the Central Plains when the time is ripe.

There are several factors that are ripe for the so-called ripeness.

It needs a solid foundation, it needs to be justified, it needs to change in the world, and it also needs Longxiang to make a big deal in the southeast.

Liu Bei's side is plotting in front of others, so the situation has been advancing as expected.

Liu Fu returned to Xudu, and Xun Yu acted according to the plan, but Sun Quan's plan to disgust Sun Quan lagged slightly.

The envoys sent to Hefei to preach the edict and the fine work to Jiangdong had just left the city, because the time had quietly come to April, and the 100,000 troops mobilized by Sun Quan had assembled in Huainan from all directions.

While the Jiangdong warships were assembled on the other side of the river, Lü Meng led the Shicheng garrison to cross the river and land in Liyang again, but the hundreds of defenders in the city fled in despair, and the first good news soon reached Sun Quan.

Although Liyang was easy to take, the people in the city had already been empty, and Lu Meng didn't even find a single grain, so he continued to the north with doubts, and a few defenders of Fuling and Quanjiao also fled, and the city also seemed to have been ransacked.

Although Lu Meng was still sending good news, he faintly felt that something was wrong, and a few days later, the army arrived in Junyu County, and it was still a familiar recipe and a familiar taste.

In this way, Lü Meng took the army around in a big circle.

Empty-handed, he arrived at the assembly point on the 10th day of April.

Sun Quan was in high spirits at this time, and after listening to Lu Meng's pitiful experience, he felt that Long Xiang might be afraid, and he intended to persuade Zhang Zhao to surrender.
