Liu Bei's mood has not been very good recently.

Having lost nearly 70,000 infantry, the naval forces of his ally Sun Quan were greatly weakened, and everything that happened was not conducive to their alliance and resistance to Cao Cao.

However, no matter how bad the mood is, it can't change the result.

What he can do is to recruit troops as soon as possible and replenish the lost 70,000 infantry, so that he can have a sense of security.

Otherwise, you will feel very empty around you.

Not at all down-to-earth.

When Liu Bei was arranging, how to recruit troops, and how to train troops, Zhuge Liang hurriedly walked in.

"Lord, something is wrong, alas!"

As soon as Zhuge Liang came in, he shook his head and sighed, looking very helpless.

Liu Bei was most afraid of hearing the word "bad" now, and when he saw Zhuge Liang's expression, he asked nervously and eagerly: "Kong Ming, what happened again?" ”

Zhuge Liang didn't know what to say to Liu Bei, so he could only hand Liu Bei a copy of the latest military information.

Liu Bei opened it and didn't finish reading it, so he jumped up in surprise and said incredulously: "How can the Sun family ...... Cao Cao...... Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could Cao Cao have plotted against the Sun family, and he could also prompt Sun Ce's son to betray Sun Quan, Kong Ming, you tell me this is not true, it must not be! ”

He's blowing up right now!

Although Sun Quan has now fled to Jing County, he is ready to rise again.

But he only saw one fact, that is, the Sun family was gone, and Sun Quan was just dying, useless.

If Cao Cao wants to fight Sun Quan again, he doesn't need to send troops, let Sun Shao fight, and he can completely make Sun Quan desperate.

What he couldn't understand at all was, as Sun Ce's son, why did Sun Shao betray his uncle?

Now the only ally is so gone.

The people sent to Sichuan Shu and Hanzhong have not yet heard back, but even if there is news, I am afraid that it will be too late, Sun is disabled, Cao Cao's next plan is to go south to Jingzhou, and the alliance with Liu Zhang has not had time to form, so he will have to face Cao Cao's attack alone.

The breath of despair lingered around him.

Even if he was arrested by Cao Cao in Xudu at the beginning, Liu Bei was not as desperate as he is today.

"Really!"

Zhuge Liang said helplessly: "I have verified it." ”

Cao Cao's actions completely disrupted their plans.

No one could have imagined that Cao Cao had already begun to plot Sun Quan to do so quickly.

It is even possible that there was such an arrangement before they went north to fight the Hu people, and they were completely unaware of it, and continued to immerse themselves in the alliance.

"Around Cao Cao, there are masters."

"It should be that Chen Duzhi, this person is terrible."

Zhuge Liang felt that Chen Zhou was terrible.

"Big man, hate!"

One of the things that Liu Bei regretted the most was that he wanted to win over Chen Zhou and dig the foot of the wall, instead of trying to kill Chen Zhou first.

If you kill it first, it probably won't be that much.

If they are killed, they will still be able to compete with Cao Cao now.

However, in this world, there is no regret medicine.

"Kong Ming, how are we?" Liu Bei asked weakly.

Zhuge Liang didn't know how, and his expression darkened.

Before going out of the mountain, Zhuge Liang was thinking that as long as he made his own move, it would be easy to calm the world, and the Han would definitely have no opponents of his own.

There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people.

"My lord, let's promote an alliance with Liu Zhang as soon as possible!"

That's all Zhuge Liang can say.

In fact, he still has a sentence to finish, if Liu Zhang knows the situation of Cao Cao now, he is afraid that he will not dare to form an alliance, and he will immediately go to Xu Du to surrender.

In the face of absolute strength, they can't do anything.

Zhuge Liang was even worried that Cao Cao had planted any nails around him, maybe he was still planning Xiangyang.

Thinking of this, he hurried to investigate the matter.

——

"Watarituki, okay!"

Cao Cao had already received the battle report sent back by Cao Gu, and laughed loudly: "At that time, you proposed this plan to find out Sun Quan's enemies, this plan is wonderful!" ”

Chen Zhou said modestly: "It's just a little trick! I didn't expect Sun Quan to be so poorly guarded, and they didn't guard against Sun Shao at all. ”

You must know that Sun Shao's rumors have been circulating in Jiangdong for a long time.

If Sun Quan guarded it, the result would not be as good as it is now.

It can only be said that Sun Quan is too careless.

"But Sun Quan can still escape and escape to Jing County, so what?"

Cao Cao asked.

Chen Zhou said calmly: "The current Sun Quan, but after making the final struggle, after the lord takes over everything in Jiangdong, we can let Fan Neng and them suppress Sun Quan, don't let it develop again, we can prepare to start a full-scale war against Liu Bei, destroy Liu Da'er first, and finally clean up Sun Quan." ”

For Liu Bei, Cao Cao didn't have a good impression at all.

I can't wait to kill it directly.

It's just that he can still be a little merciful to Sun Quan and others, after all, he and Sun Jian also knew each other back then, and asked: "Duzhi thinks, can you let Sun Quan go?" ”

Chen Zhou understood Cao Cao's thoughts, pondered for a moment and said: "The most direct conflict between Sun Quan and us has now turned into Huang Zu, but it is unlikely that the lord will kill Huang Zu, and it is not possible to kill meritorious officials, if they can be persuaded to let go of this hatred, maybe there is still the possibility of subduing." ”

"That's ......"

Cao Cao was silent, thinking to himself how difficult it would be to persuade them to let go of their hatred.

The people on the Jiangdong side, he wants to subdue.

In particular, some families in Jiangdong are now all betting on Sun Quan, and he will govern Yangzhou next, and the support of the family is indispensable.

Although they have worked very hard to break the monopoly of the family, they will not be able to completely break the monopoly in a short period of time, and they still need a certain amount of dependence.

"I'll figure it out again."

Cao Cao did not continue to inquire about the matter.

He was already satisfied with such a result, and if he couldn't do it, he would kill him.

Huang Zu is indeed not easy to kill, because he has made meritorious contributions, and he is still his own person.

Sun Quan is not his own people now, and he can only sacrifice them with pity, and then find a way to persuade Sun Quan's side, those people from the Jiangdong family.

That's the plan for now!

"Lord!"

Xun Yu walked in at this time and said with a smile: "Happy event, great joy!" ”

Cao Cao asked curiously, "What happy event?" ”

"Zhang Lu, here."

Xun Yu smiled and said: "He came to Xudu to surrender to the lord, and now the princess is entertaining Zhang Lu, does the lord want to see him?" ”

"What?"

Cao Cao stood up in surprise.

Zhang Lulai's surrender represented the surrender of Hanzhong.

Then Hanzhong, no need to fight anymore.

If you take Hanzhong and then Jingzhou, you will be able to enter Yizhou from the north and east at the same time, and it is only a matter of time before you pacify the world.

"Pass him in."

Cao Cao said in surprise.
