Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Today is the third day that Nan Shengmi, Du Niu Li and others live in the Dahan Posthouse.

To them these three days, it was as if they were in a fairyland.
There is no hunger or cold here, and there is no war here. Some are delicious rice; some are delicious and varied dishes; Paper.

This kind of life far exceeds that of their royal family, which can be enjoyed by ordinary people in Han Dynasty.This made Nan Shengmi, Dushi Niu Li and others really envious and jealous.Even in their dreams, they dreamed that they became the masters of this land of China and lived a better life than they are now.

But good days do not belong to them after all, and their sweet dreams can only be daydreams.

Three days after they met Cao Cao and Lu Yan, Lu Yan brought Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai to summon Nan Shengmi and others.The rest of the work will be handed over to the two of them.

During this conversation, Lu Yan told Nan Shengmi and others about his plan.

Although they were somewhat regretful that the big man couldn't send troops to help them, they were quite content with being able to buy the "advanced" weapons and armor of the big man with the silver mine that was of no use to them.

At the beginning, Cao Cao's army had a large-scale replacement of weapons and armor.Those old armors that have been replaced are kept, taking up space and spending manpower and financial resources to maintain them. It is a pity to destroy them directly.

Now they can be sold to the countries of Dongzhou, which can not only clear the inventory but also make a fortune, but also intensify their internal friction, killing three birds with one stone, why not do it?

After the general strategy is determined, the rest is for the friends Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia to perfect it.

And Lu Yan, together with Cao Cao, will start the conquest of Jingzhou in the south!
Jian'an ten years, May.

Cao Cao, who had been preparing for nearly half a year, finally led an army of 30, claiming to be 80, and went south brazenly!
At the same time, a total of [-] troops from Cao Ren and Cai Hao marched towards Jiangxia, trying to take the important town of Jiangxia on the north bank of the Yangtze River first.

Cao Jun marched south with millions of troops, the world was shaken, and the city of Xiangyang was in chaos!
Since the Cao Jun Navy had already controlled the Han River and even the Jiangxia Yangtze River, the Jingzhou Navy was powerless to stop it, and could only watch Cao Jun cross the Han River batch after batch.

On land, Wenpin's pre-established line of defense did not work at all.

In just one day, Wenpin's defense line was breached by Cao Jun's vanguard Zhao Yun, Lu Lingqi, and Wei Yan, and Cao Jun took advantage of the situation to set up camp on the plain to the northeast of Xiangyang.

After Cao Cao led his army to the outskirts of Xiangyang, he dispatched dozens of light cavalry and infantry to block the main roads in and out of Xiangyang.

During this period, good news came from Cao Ren, Cai Mao, and the land and water armies: Just yesterday evening, Cao Ren and Cai Mao joined forces with an army of [-] to attack Jiangxia City. Grandfather Huang and his son died in battle, and Jiangxia was completely occupied by Cao Jun!

After Cao Ren captured Jiangxia, he left [-] troops and his lieutenant Niu Jin to guard Jiangxia to defend Jiangdong; he himself, together with Cai Mao, crossed the Yangtze River from Xiakou and joined Cao Cao in Xiangyang.

Three days after Cao Cao's army arrived in Xiangyang, the armies of Cao Ren and Cai Mao also landed from the east of Xiangyang.The two armies formally joined forces outside the city of Xiangyang. The total number was 40, and their reputation shook the sky!

Cao Jun is in the main camp.

Cao Ren, Cai Mao and others entered the central army tent one after another. They strode up to Cao Cao, bowed and cupped their fists and said loudly, "The last general Cao Ren (Cai Mao), has met the prime minister!"

Cao Cao has always loved Cao Ren, the younger brother of the family, although he is sometimes a little reckless, but generally speaking, he is a famous general who is calm, knows how to grasp the opportunity, and is good at running the army.

"Zixiao, Degui, you took down Jiangxia faster than I expected. You did a great job! It's a great achievement!" Cao Cao praised after giving him a hand.

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

After Cai Mao followed Cao Ren to thank him, he stood among the generals of Cao Jun.He had just surrendered to Cao Cao and made such a great contribution to capturing Jiang Xia, so he couldn't help but feel a little proud, and even looked at other people with a little disdain.

After taking Jiangxia County, the threat from the north of Jingzhou is gone. In addition to guarding against possible sneak attacks from Jiangdong, Cao Cao can now concentrate on dealing with Liu Qi and Pang Tong.

In the big tent, it seemed very quiet, but the atmosphere was not dull, on the contrary, it was a little unusually active because more than a dozen generals inside were watching Cao Cao, and the burning fighting spirit in their eyes could hardly be suppressed!
Cao Cao could see the big guy's eagerness to fight, he nodded secretly, and then said to Xun You, the conspirator on the left: "Gongda, Zhicai and Fengxiao have other important matters to deal with, you are my conspirator this time." Lord, it is up to you to tell everyone what we have learned so far!"

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are currently busy with Dongzhou affairs, and they didn't participate in the less difficult Southern Expedition to Jingzhou.Opportunities to make meritorious deeds should always be distributed to other people. This is the way of the world and self-protection.

"Here!" After saluting meticulously, Xun You took two steps to the side, stood up and said, "Masters, our army has found out the news carefully. Jingzhou originally had an army of more than 20 land and water troops, but because of civil strife, [-] troops were killed. Most of the Wanshui army was lost, and under Pang Tong's control, there were only less than [-].

The main force of its army, because of the heavy losses in the First World War in Nanyang, is currently estimated to be around 10 people defending Xiangyang.

As for Jiangling and other places, the defenders will not exceed [-].

And the four Jingnan counties are basically in a state of self-defense, so as long as we win Xiangyang, it can be said that the entire Jingzhou has almost been taken into our pocket! "

Xun You's words excited all the civil and military officials in the tent.

At the same time, there was a sense of urgency in their hearts, "We must step up our performance to win the battle, otherwise, after taking Xiangyang, I am afraid that there will be no great credit."

However, Xun You still poured cold water on them, "But it is not easy to break through Xiangyang.

Xiangyang City is one of the most fortified cities in the world. Recently, it has been rebuilt and strengthened by Pang Tong. Not only is the city high and deep, but there is also an urn in the city.

The water source of the moat outside the city comes from the Han River. It is more than four feet wide, and the bottom of the river is densely covered with spikes. There is basically no possibility of survival for those who fall into the water.

Moreover, on the city wall of Xiangyang City, there are sentry towers and turrets all over the city, and there is an arrow tower every twenty steps. As for the ordinary defense materials, there are countless
Therefore, gentlemen, if we want to capture Xiangyang City, I am afraid that we will need to pay a huge price! "

Xun You also explained a lot of details, and it took nearly half an hour to tell the details of the information he had learned.

Originally, they thought that this victory was basically at their fingertips, but after learning more news, everyone couldn't help but pay more attention to it.
