Chapter 140 Persuading Jin to become Emperor, Sun Cao Alliance

Chapter 140 Persuading Jin to become Emperor, Sun Cao Alliance

Wenpin ran away in shock, Liao Hua held a three-pointed double-edged knife and drove the horse, but charged towards Wenpin.

Thousands of his subordinates also moved in unison.

All of a sudden, there was an earth-shattering sound, like a landslide and a ground crack, and the momentum was indistinguishable.

"Wenpin, where are you going!"

Liao Hua dismounted from his horse to recharge his batteries, while Wenpin's horse fled all the way, so the horsepower was naturally not as good as Liao Hua's horse.

Wenpin tried his best to dismount his horse, and within five hundred steps he was caught up by Liao Hua.

The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road.

Now, if you can't escape, you can only fight to the death.

Wenpin's eyes flickered.

If Liao Hua is killed by the horse, there is still a glimmer of life.

Wenpin immediately turned his horse's head to meet Liao Hua.

In the noisy night, the sound of horseshoes resounded across the battlefield and echoed in the valley.

"Liao Hua, I think you haven't seen my Wenpin's bravery, so die to me!"

Wen Pin rode the horse, swift and fierce like the wind, and his spear pierced Liao Hua like a bolt of lightning.Liao Hua's figure was nimble, avoiding Wenpin's attack from left to right, and waving the three-pointed two-edged knife in return, the fierce cold light on the blade pierced the darkness.

clang clang ~
The combat skills of the two came one after another, their figures intertwined, and the sound of interlaced metal clashes of swords and knives echoed in the night sky.

Wenpin's long spear danced like a dragon and snake hovering around, quickly piercing Liao Hua's vitals, while Liao Hua nimbly avoided every attack, dancing the three-pointed two-edged knife into a light and shadow, trying to find Wenpin's flaws.

Their movements are quick and accurate, and every attack and defense is full of deadly threats.The sound of horseshoes roared in the night wind, and the figures of the two flashed alternately in the darkness, like a silent dance of martial arts.

Their sweat seeps through their battle armor, their muscles are tense, and their blood is full of fighting passion.

Three hundred rounds passed, and neither of them decided the outcome.Wenpin and Liao Hua were bruised and bruised, but they still gritted their teeth and fought on.Each other's strength, skill and perseverance are at their peak.

The night wind blew the figures of the two, and the starlight sprinkled on the battlefield, reflecting their resolute eyes and sweat.Despite physical exhaustion, their wills were indestructible and they were determined to fight to the last moment.

But among the two, it was obvious that Liao Hua was more comfortable.

The soldiers under his command have already surrounded Wenpin.

now
Wei general Wenpin, hard to fly with wings!
"Wenpin, if you surrender now, you can still survive. If not, you will only die?"

surrender?

Is his Wenpin the kind of person who betrays the Lord?
How could he surrender because of the great favor he received from King Wei?

"Pooh!"

He spat hard, and shouted loudly: "If you want to take my head, come if you have the ability!"

"Understood!"

A cold light flashed across Liao Hua's eyes, and the hand holding the three-pointed two-edged knife tightened even more.

Exactly at this time.

Liao Hua's back suddenly became confused.

"The Wei army in Rang County is rushing to kill, the general quickly return to defense!"

Just in time?
Liao Hua snorted coldly, and said to the left and right: "Time is running out, there is no need to talk about morals in the world, the soldiers stand shoulder to shoulder, and kill this article!"

With the order of Liao Hua's army, the Jingzhou soldiers surrounding Wenpin charged forward, with swords, spears, swords and halberds, all of them greeted Wenpin.

One punch can't beat four hands.

What's more, Wenpin now has hundreds of opponents.

The horses under him could not withstand the attack of the Shu army.

"Sorry~"

The war horse wailed, with dozens of wounds on his body, bleeding profusely, and fell straight down. Holding a spear in his hand, Wen Pin jumped off the horse, and immediately fought with the Shu army in all directions.

"Wu Na Liao Hua, Grandpa Xu Shang is here, hurry up and die!"

To the north, a burly general in armor riding a brown horse, holding a spear in his hand, charged towards Liao Hua.

Behind Xu Shang, the vast number of Wei Jun in the night also came to hide and kill.

"Damn!"

Liao Hua's eyes sank, and he quickly raised the three-pointed two-edged knife, and greeted Xu Shang.

clang clang ~
Swords and guns clashed, and the two couldn't tell the winner for a while.

"Save Yanshouting Hou!"

Seeing that Wenpin was in deep siege, Xu Shang quickly sent his personal guards to rescue him.

He stepped forward with a gun, determined to kill Liao Hua under his horse.

In the past few days, Liao Hua built a stronghold to defend, but Xu Shang couldn't get an inch.

Tonight, when Xu Shang heard the movement, he called the soldiers non-stop and came to charge the battle.

He didn't expect to see Liao Hua hunting the Marquis of Yanshou Pavilion.

He came just in time!
Liao Hua had just fought Wenpin for [-] rounds, and now he was fighting Xu Shang again. He couldn't win for a while.

"The thief will leave, your family is coming to Grandpa Chong!"

There was a roar from the south, and Xiang Chong was galloping towards Wei Jun with a silver gun in his hand.

He is skillful in his movements, and the spear is playing well in his hands.

One shot can kill a Wei soldier.

His goal is clear.

That is Wenpin under the heavy protection of Wei Jun.

If Wenpin's life is not spared today, how can Xiang Chong have the face to see His Highness again?
I can't even eat the food that I have fed into my mouth. Isn't this going to throw me to death?

"kill!"

Xiang Chong opened his beard and hair, and rushed into the enemy's formation.

"Mi Yang is here!"

At the end of the battle, Mi Yang finally came with a lecture on martial arts.

Seeing the Shu army coming from the east and south, Xu Shang was afraid and didn't dare to stay any longer.

Stay any longer, I'm afraid his soldiers will be exhausted.

"Withdraw! Withdraw to the camp!"

With the order to retreat, Wei Jundun scattered like birds and beasts.

Liao Hua, Xiang Chong, and Mi Yang led hundreds of cavalry to hide and kill them like mowing grass.

But after chasing to the Wei army camp, the three of them stopped immediately and dared not enter again.

I saw that the Wei army camp was heavily guarded, and rows of soldiers in armor had been waiting for a long time.

It turned out that Xu Shang didn't send out all the soldiers, but left half of them as a response, and now it's come in handy.

"Ah~"

Xiang Chong sighed deeply, his eyes full of annoyance.

"It's a pity that Wenpin escaped, it's a pity, it's a pity!"

Liao Hua also had a look of pity on his face.

His Highness sent the news, but the duck that had reached its beak actually flew away.

Liao Hua also felt that face had nothing to do with it.

Mi Yang was the last to appear on the stage, but he was the most optimistic.

"It's just a Wenpin who escaped. Thousands of Wei soldiers under his command were all killed by you and me. Xinye has already fallen, and the credit has been made. Letting Wei general Wenpin escape is harmless."

After hearing Mi Yang's words, Xiang Chong and Liao Hua's mood really improved a lot.

"Xinye has already come down, and I don't want to kill Wenpin. If His Highness wants to attack Rang County, I must ask for this job!"

If he doesn't kill Wenpin, his thoughts will not flow smoothly!

"Go back to the camp for now, and we'll make a fuss tomorrow."

After chasing and killing all night, not only the soldiers, but they are also a little sleepy.

Although Wenpin was not killed, the harvest today is already good enough to be honest.

One must be content, if he rushes to kill Wei Zhai now, how can he succeed?
But the casualties are in vain.

The next day.

Liu Chan met Xiang Chong and Mi Yang in the camp.

Mi Yang's expression was normal, after all, Wenpin didn't go his way, and Wenpin's taking off had nothing to do with him.

On the other hand, Xiang Chong lowered his head with a dejected expression, not daring to meet Liu Chan's eyes.

"The final general failed His Highness's trust and was willing to be punished."

be punished?

Liu Chan laughed and said, "How can you say you were punished? You have made great achievements!"

Liu Chan stepped forward to help Xiang Chong up, and said, "It's just a general of Wei. You are the hero who won Xinye in this battle. My lords, why are you twitching and crying? Acting like a woman? Is this a success?" What kind of dignity? Show the courage of a man!"

After being reprimanded by Liu Chan, Xiang Chong had no choice but to stand up, but seeing his unwillingness to catch Wenpin, he might be remembered by Xiang Chong for the rest of his life.

"Let's go out for a walk. Xinye has already fallen, and Rang County will be defeated sooner or later. At that time, you have time to play!"

Hearing Liu Chan's words, Xiang Chong finally lifted his spirits.

"If you want to attack Rang County, Chong will definitely capture Wenpin alive at the feet of His Highness!"

"it is good!"

Liu Chan showed approval, and patted Xiang Chong on the shoulder vigorously.

Then he walked out of the camp.

Xinye City changed the king's flag overnight.

The original Wei Zijing Banner and Wenzi Yaqi have become Liu Zijing Banners and Guan Ziya Banners.

After many years, Xinye returned to the hands of Liu Guanzhang.

Outside Xinye City, Guan Yunchang in green armor was very emotional.

"At that time, a certain person spent several years in this city."

At that time, it was the time when Liu Bei was dormant and panicked like a bereaved dog. He was taken in by Liu Biao and sent under the fence to serve as a barrier for Jingzhou.

现在
The eldest brother is already the king of Hanzhong, sitting in the land of Yizhou and Jingzhou.

Holding Hanzhong in your hand, you can go straight to Guanzhong.

Now that he occupies Xinye, he has already won Wancheng, and he has the possibility of going straight to Xudu and marching into the Central Plains.

Not the same.

Very different.

The original lost dog can now compete with Na Mengde for the world.

Now it is gradually becoming clear who will own the cauldron of Kyushu.

Destiny is in Han!

The destiny is on the elder brother!
The destiny is also on His Highness!

Guan Yu looked at Liu Chan with nothing but admiration in his heart.

If it weren't for His Highness, this Xinye would have blocked Guan Yunchang for at least half a month.

At that time, the situation will be different again.

Guan Yu stepped forward, looked at Liu Chan with curiosity in his eyes, and asked, "Why does Your Highness know that Wenpin will abandon the city tonight?"

Liu Chan smiled lightly and said, "It's just a guess, so I didn't make it clear yesterday in the big tent of the Chinese army. I didn't expect to guess right by luck."

lucky?

Guan Yu looked at Liu Chan.

Then you are lucky too much.

ability!

Your Highness is too capable.

Yun Chang looked at Liu Chan's daughter, who had already seen little stars in her eyes, and was quite worried.

His Highness is so outstanding, how could his own silly daughter be able to restrain His Highness?
His Highness Kuang was already flirtatious at a young age, but Yingying and Yanyan would be indispensable in the backyard from now on.

I was also afraid that the eldest brother's son was not capable, but when the eldest brother's son became his son-in-law, I was afraid that he would be too capable.

It's really difficult for him to be a father!
"Your Highness has the talents of martial arts, and you can get Xinye with a little trick. Even if Meng De comes in person, I am afraid that he is not His Highness's opponent."

Pan Jun had already returned to Jiangling with Yun Chang's mission yesterday.

Mi Fang stayed in the army, seeing a chance to flatter her, she hurried forward to agree.

Guan Yu glanced at Mi Fang.

Ever since he knew that Mi Fang had intended to surrender, Guan Yu never looked at him directly.

Fortunately, Mi Zifang had made meritorious service in Jiangling that day, otherwise how could he be in Guan Yun's army?

"Your Highness, Xinye has already arrived, next, is to send troops to Wancheng, or..."

Send troops to Wancheng?

Liu Chan thought for a while and said: "On the one hand, we sent people to attack Rang County, and Wudang Feijun was in charge of attacking Fancheng. My uncle was in Xinye, ready to respond at any time. I led the troops to form a camp outside Wancheng, and General Xiaoguan was in charge of each other. Potential."

Attacking Rang County is to compress the space of Wei Jun in Nanyang.

If Nanyang can be brought down, and then Wancheng is occupied, even if Cao Mengde comes in person, the Shu army will be able to stabilize the fruits of victory obtained this time even if they cannot win.

As for Fancheng
Wancheng has fallen, and Fancheng has already lost its reinforcements.

In addition, there are sharp weapons for attacking the city, so it is not a big problem to attack and pull Fancheng.

If there is not enough troops, you can also siege the city.

But if the Wudang Flying Army is transferred over, there will be no problem of insufficient troops.

"Attacking Rang County and Fancheng, someone can still understand, but you sit in front of the town and let someone be in Xinye? What's the reason for this?"

He, Guan Yunchang, wants to charge and kill on the battlefield, so you let me sit in the rear?
"Hahaha!"

Liu Chan laughed loudly and said, "Uncle is the commander-in-chief of an army, so you should not take risks lightly. Kuang sits in Xinye, so he can use it as a maneuver to support all parties."

If you weren't too reckless, why would I let you sit in the rear?
You Guan Yunchang is sitting in the Wancheng military stronghold. If you see General Wei and charge forward directly, what should you do if you make a mistake?
"Father, what His Highness said is very true. You are also old. It is most appropriate for you to sit in the rear as a maneuver."

Guan Yinping originally wanted to say that you are old, so you should stop doing fighting generals.

But being stared at by his father, Guan Yinping resolutely followed his heart and dared not speak out.

"Humph!"

Yun Chang snorted softly and said, "That Huang Hansheng is older than me, and he can still kill Xia Houyuan in front of Dingjun Mountain. I, Guan Yunchang, am not as good as that old man?"

This damn comparison heart.

Didn't you look down on Huang Zhong before?

Now let's talk about him.

"Ask uncle to focus on the overall situation?"

I endured it before, how can I bear it now?
Guan Yu glanced at Liu Chan angrily, and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to discuss this matter. You are a smart and wise person. You have the ability to strategize, but you don't have the ability to kill on the battlefield. You will live in Xinye. If you have a plan, Just send someone to tell you."

Liu Chan shook his head lightly.

Guan Yu's family are all very well-behaved people.

When Yinping was hunting, he was also reckless.

It's not that the family doesn't enter the house.

Working with these reckless people, Liu Chan is tired!
"Forget it, uncle, please be careful, and wait until Jiangdong raises troops and Wei State Xuzhou is attacked by Sun Zhongmou, before doing military affairs."

现在
Focus on keeping and wait for the right time.

He formed an alliance with Jiangdong Sun Quan and attacked Wei on both sides, so that Cao Cao could not concentrate on coming to Xuzhou instead of attacking.

And
Ten days ago, Liu Chan had already sent a messenger to Chengdu to write to his father, King Liu Bei, asking him to send troops to Hanzhong immediately and make a gesture of attacking Guanzhong.

The original grain and grass problem was solved a lot because of the 75 stone grain and grass sent by Jiangdong.

Kuang went to Hanzhong, unlike the previous battles in Hanzhong, where tens of thousands of troops were gathered, and only tens of thousands of troops were needed to go there. With Liu Bei in Hanzhong, even if there were not many soldiers in Hanzhong, Cao Cao would never dare to underestimate him.

After all, Liu Bei is the King of Hanzhong and Uncle Liu Huang. His prestige in this world is really too great.

Without sending capable generals in Guanzhong, it is not impossible for Guanzhong to surrender Liu Bei directly.

Now that the state of Wei is in turmoil, it is impossible for Cao Mengde not to plan for the worst!

in this way
Attack Wei from three directions, no matter how strong your Wei country is, what can you do?
Guan Yu led the elite soldiers from Xinye to Wancheng.

Liu Chan looked at the back of Guan Yu's army with worry in his eyes.

Guan Yinping looked at her good husband and frowned, she smiled and comforted her and said: "Mr. Sir, my father is a veteran in the battlefield and has rich experience. Although he was reckless in the battle against Pound before, I think this reckless thing will never happen again." Done."

reckless?

The second master is not afraid of anything.

The sky and the earth are big and he is the biggest.

"Stabilize the situation for the time being, now, just wait for the right time."

Boss Cao.

According to the historical time, you should be dead, right?
If you want to ga, hurry up, it is best to die when Wei Guo is in turmoil, then Liu Chan will be able to do his best in this battle.

"Your Highness."

Xiang Chong stepped forward, his face was determined, and he stood in front of Liu Chan with his hands folded.

"Since the Lord has entrusted His Royal Highness with the task of attacking Rang County and Fancheng, this time we will attack Rang County, and I wish to do it!"

Xiang Chong still broods over what happened yesterday.

"Liao Hua is the chief general, and you are the deputy general. Lead the troops of the headquarters to attack Rang County. Remember, if you have the opportunity to attack the city again, if you don't have the opportunity, just surround it."

Rang County is the last stronghold of Wei Jun in Nanyang County.

If it is pulled out, the whole area of ​​Nanyang will be in Liu Chan's hands.

But there is no need to attack by force. At the critical moment, it can even attract reinforcements from the Wei army to come here, which has the effect of encircling the point to fight for reinforcements.

"The last general takes orders!"

Xiang Chong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately saluted Liu Chan.

"Your Highness, is this Fancheng to be attacked by the future?"

Rang County has Liao Hua Xiangchong attacking, so Fancheng, let him go after all?

"You stay in Xinye and be a mobile soldier."

Not many of his generals were brought to Nanyang.

Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Zhao Yue, A Huinan, etc. are either farming in Nanzhong, or they are still in the police.

Could it be that at the critical moment, Liu Chan should lead his troops to charge and kill?

Afraid is not afraid.

But after all, the body is not yet fully grown. If one is not careful and dies on the battlefield, it will be a big loss.

In a few years, let's experience the fun of rushing again.

"promise!"

Mi Yang was disappointed, but he had no choice but to accept the order.

His Royal Highness originally wanted to hand over the attack on Fancheng to Ah Huinan, but he pleaded for orders, but in fact he just wanted to take the post of lieutenant general.

Now let him be the siege general, he has no idea.

but……

It doesn't hurt if His Highness doesn't agree.

Anyway, as long as you follow His Highness, there will always be credit for this.

Mi Yang has blind trust in Liu Chan!
"In Nanyang, there are many remnants of the Wei State who have turned into bandits. You lead the army to wipe out all the bandits in Nanyang."

After the war, if the soldiers of the defeated Wei army did not want to surrender, they would naturally occupy the mountain and become kings, becoming bandits and bandits, and causing disaster.

As far as Liu Chan knows, there are more than a dozen bandit dens with more than 500 people in Nanyang.

After these bandits are wiped out, they can form an army again.

Although not elite, it is still possible to defend the city.

If it is to attack the city, it is more than enough as cannon fodder.

"The last general takes orders!"

Just now, Mi Yang thought that His Highness would definitely give him credit, but he didn't want the credit to be given so quickly!

The look of despair on Mi Yang's face was wiped away.

"Xiu Zhao, Wen Wei,"

Liu Chan looked at Fei Yi and Dong Yun in front of him.

"In the previous strategy of attacking with water, Nanyang has accumulated public grievances. The two of you led the local officials and noble gentry to go to guide them, and sort out the population and land information along the way."

The Nanyang Basin still supports people.

The water network here is densely covered, and the plains are in pieces.

In terms of farming, the output is much better than that of Nanzhong.

If there is success in farming in Nanyang, this place can become the advance base of the Shu army, which can continuously provide food and grass for the Shu army.

After all, no matter how much food and grass Jiangdong gave, it would always be used up.

Self-sufficiency is the right way.

"promise!"

Both Fei Yi and Dong Yun took orders.

This matter of civil affairs, governing the region is no easier than fighting on the battlefield, and its importance is self-evident.

The hearts of the people in Nanyang are not stable, and there is turmoil from time to time, then this place cannot be used by Liu Chan, and the so-called advance base for attacking Wei is out of the question.

"You can go and post the documents. You don't need to accept this year's counting and oral Fu."

Computational Fu and oral Fu are collected in August every year. At that time, the local officials will register the population, verify their age, compile them into books, and collect them by the government according to their household registration.

Due to the war, most places in Nanyang have not yet started expropriation.

Not accepting calculation and oral Fu is naturally a move by Liu Chan to win over the people of Nanyang.

of course
To put it more bluntly, it is a move to win the hearts of Nanyang aristocratic families and landlords and local tyrants.

After all, the counting tax and verbal tax that have already been collected do not need to be handed in, so who will end up with it?
it goes without saying.

Liu Chan is willing to give up part of the benefits, and the officials, aristocratic families, and gentry who stayed in Nanyang will also understand what to do.

Maintain stability!

The decree conveyed by his prince Liu Chan will be carried out in every detail.

good for everyone.

If someone disobeyed, Liu Chan would naturally not be lenient.

He is still aware of the move of "be polite first and then fight".

Wei State.

Xu all.

In Wei Wangfu.

Cao Cao was half lying on the bed, with a wet towel covering his forehead.

His beard and hair were all white, his lips were chapped and pale, and he looked very weak.

Only those eyes are still alive.

"My lord, the Jiangdong envoy has arrived, and here is the military report."

"Cough cough."

Cao Cao coughed, removed the wet wipe from his forehead, and slowly stood up from the bed.

"The general reported to me for a look. As for the Jiangdong envoy, he summoned the ministers to discuss matters in the hall."

Cao Cao took the military newspaper in his hand and glanced at it. His brows, which were already tightly frowned, were completely wrinkled into a Sichuan character.

Xinye City was captured by Yunchang again within ten days.

Wen Pin is his general, but he can't stop Yun Chang's attack.

Gongming, Gongming!
I, Meng De, can only rely on you now.

The battle ahead is sluggish, and the situation is not optimistic.

But compared with the Jiangdong alliance, it is innocuous.

Originally, there were not many defenders in Xinye, so it was expected that they would be captured.

It's just the difference between a long time and a short time.

As long as Jiang Dong is willing to fight against Yunchang together with him, what is the gain or loss of a city and a place?
Under the service of the maid of the eunuch, Cao Cao put on the heavy Wei Crown Clothes on his body.

When he was young, not to mention this suit of clothes, even if he was carrying a hundred catties of weight, he would not say a word.

But now I am old!
Wearing this Wei Wang Guan suit on his body, he was already overwhelmed.

Not to mention the weight of Kyushu in this world.

His rickety body is no longer able to carry the huge boat of Wei State.

In the lobby of Prince Wei's Mansion.

The ministers and bureaucrats of the State of Wei stood on both sides, and in the middle of the hall, the Jiangdong envoys stood in the hall of the Wei Palace with Sun Quan's letter of alliance in their hands.

"Foreign envoys pay homage to King Wei."

"You don't need to be too polite, Wu Hou agreed to the alliance? Let's attack Yunchang together?"

Boss Cao didn't come to nothing, and went straight to the point.

"My lord agreed to join the alliance, but there are some conditions, and I hope the king of Wei will agree."

As he spoke, the Jiangdong envoy handed over the document in his hand to the internal officer beside him.

Require?

Wei Wang Cao Cao frowned slightly.

So what the hell is Sun Zhongmou going to do?

He snorted coldly, quite impatient in his heart.

After the internal officer handed the document to him, he flipped through it for a while, and Meng De's brows were already tightly frowned.

There was a dangerous light in his eyes, and his tone was as cold as the winter wind.

"You want me in Xuzhou? So Sun Zhongmou is so courageous? In the past, he sent [-] troops, but he couldn't take Hefei. Now he wants me, Cao Cao, to cut off Xuzhou?"

Meng De snorted coldly and said, "Could it be that he thinks that there is no one in Wei Guo? Or is it that he is lonely? Or is Wu Hou hysterical?"

Doesn't Cao Mengde know the importance of Xuzhou?

Bianshui flows, Sishui flows, and flows to Guazhou Gudutou.Wu Shan was a little worried.

The Bian River originated from the Langdang Canal in the northwest of Kaifeng, returned to Kaifeng from the Yellow River in the north of Xingyang, passed through Shangqiu, the ancient capital of the Shang Dynasty, and then joined Sishui here in Xuzhou.

Surabaya originates in Shandong, flows through Qufu, the capital of the State of Lu, and passes through Pei County, collects Bianshui in Xuzhou, and then flows southeast into the Huaihe River.

The Huaihe River is connected to the Yangtze River by Hangou. From the south bank of the Yangtze River, it can go directly to Suzhou and Hangzhou through the Jiangnan water system.

This points out the geographical location of Xuzhou. It is located at the intersection of Bianshui and Sishui, and has become a water transport hub for the Jianghuai River and the Central Plains. From the 12th year of Emperor Yongping of the Han Dynasty, Wang Jing presided over the construction of the river and built dams along both sides of the Yellow River to limit the southward invasion of the Yellow River. , And built a dam on the Bian River to adjust the water volume, so that the Bian River could flow into Si safely, becoming the main channel for the westward transportation of latent grain in the Jianghuai River Basin.

In addition to being a waterway hub, Xuzhou is also a land hub.

Pengcheng and Xiapi control the land transportation line, they can go to the Yellow River in the north, go to the Jianghuai River in the south, and enter the Central Plains in the west. You can see its significance to the North and South forces.

With such a geographical location, Xuzhou will inevitably become a battleground for military strategists.

Once the south breaks through the Huaihe River, it must go north to take Xuzhou, and first stabilize the two Huaihe Rivers.Xuzhou can take the Central Plains in the west and Shandong in the north, which is what Xiang Yu did.

After Cao Cao pacified the Central Plains, he came to rob Xuzhou. Lu Bu from Yanzhou also came to rob Xuzhou, and Yuan Shu from Huainan also came to rob Xuzhou. In the end, neither Liu Bei nor Lu Bu could hold Xuzhou, because there were too many people in this place. If you die, you can't let Xuzhou fall into the hands of others, or you won't be able to do anything yourself.

Xuzhou is equivalent to a key. The forces in the Central Plains, Shandong, and Jiangnan, as long as they gain a firm foothold, will come to grab Xuzhou.

Although seizing Xuzhou can't make the world a success, if Xuzhou is in the hands of others, it is equivalent to having the keys of one's house in the hands of others, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Such a place is not much less important than Jingzhou and Xiangfan.

You, Sun Zhongmou, want to take advantage of the fire at this time, who gave you the courage?
Who you let you daydream?
The Jiangdong envoy also seemed to have expected Cao Cao's reaction, he smiled lightly, showing no fear on his face.

"Since we don't want to cut Xuzhou, we can cut Hefei."

Cut Hefei?
Cao Cao's brows were also furrowed, but his reaction was not as intense as before.

The Chinese temperament always likes to reconcile and compromise.

For example, when Sun Quan said that he wanted to form an alliance and cut off Wei State Xuzhou, Cao Cao definitely disagreed.

But if Jiangdong only wants Hefei, then Cao Cao thinks about it, and it's not impossible to agree.

"This Hefei may be acceptable."

Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Cao Hong, who was wearing a military uniform, had already stood up holding a wat board.

"Your Majesty, Hefei is an important town. Don't give it to others easily. Hefei has a loss, Jiangdong is like a tiger with wings, Xuzhou is difficult to defend, and the Central Plains are shaken!"

Hefei embraces Zhangbaling, the Jianghuai hills in the east, embraces the remaining range of the Dabie Mountains in the west, and borders the Yangtze River in the south, and borders the Huaihe River in the north.

It is close to the line of the Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains, and has the natural danger of the Yangtze River. It is an important transportation hub for going north and south, and plays a role of linking the past and the future.

Not only is it important in its strategic location, it is also the junction of water and land trunk lines, the place where the northern expedition of Wu State must pass, and goes south through Chaohu Lake to enter the Yangtze River.The second is the food barrier, which belongs to the pioneering place of Yangzhou. Yangzhou is an important granary. Taking Hefei is equivalent to having a chance to take Yangzhou.

And if the north loses Hefei, it loses the hope of managing Yangzhou.

"What General Cao Hong said is absolutely true."

Yushi Zhongcheng Chen Qun also held a wat board, got up and said: "Hefei is an important place, so don't lose it!"

Chen Qun's skin was slightly pale, revealing the traces of time, but still full of health and spirit.His forehead was broad, slightly wrinkled, and a black beard hung down to his chin, adding a bit of maturity and majesty to him.

"This"

The fierce reaction of the officials of Wei State was also expected by the Jiangdong envoy.

He smiled lightly and said, "If your majesty is willing to send Hefei, I, Jiangdong, will sign an alliance treaty with the state of Wei, vowing never to attack, how about it?"

"You Jiangdong rats, have you done too little to betray the alliance?"

Cao Hong snorted coldly, the look of disdain in his eyes was undisguised.

"That's right, you and I have formed an alliance with Liu Chan, Prince of Hanzhong, and now we have turned to form an alliance with Wei State to attack Jingzhou together. Can we believe in such an alliance?"

"What's the difference between the letter of alliance of the Jiangdong rats and a piece of waste paper?"

Once something like reputation is lost, it is extremely difficult to get it back.

The Jiangdong envoy's face was ashen, and he said with certainty: "My lord is willing to send a daughter to marry the king of Wei?"

Send a girl to marry?

Even Sima Yi, who has always been calm, couldn't hold back at this moment.

"I heard that when Marquis Wu and Prince Liu Chan of Hanzhong formed an alliance, they also married off their daughters. How can we believe that Marquis Wu's daughter is so worthless?"

The Jiangdong envoy was choked speechless by the officials of Wei State.

He is in pain!
My lord doesn't keep his word, it's too difficult for him as an envoy.

Just a dozen short breaths, how much torture did he suffer in his heart?
This face is going to be lost.

But for him to become an envoy of Jiangdong, the first thing is that he has a thick skin.

The Jiangdong envoy looked at Cao Cao, and took out another document in his hand.

"This is written by my lord himself. Would you like King Wei to read it?"

"Oh?"

All the ministers in the Fangcai Hall scolded Sun Zhongmou from beginning to end, and Cao Cao sat in the main seat, and he also enjoyed it.

Looking at Sun Quan's handwritten letter in Jiangdong envoy's hand at this moment, he thought to himself: This Sun Zhongmou, does he still want to play tricks?
Opening the letter, I saw what was written inside:
The minister, Sun Quan, knew for a long time that the destiny had belonged to the king, and Fu Wang was already in power. He sent his generals to conquer Jingxiang, wipe out Liu Bei and Liu Chan's father and son, and wiped out the two rivers.

Let me ascend the throne and become emperor?

snort!
You, Sun Zhongmou, think I am Yuan Shu and his like?

Now proclaiming the emperor, wouldn't it be a reversal of the infamy of the traitors of the Han Dynasty?

Do you still think my Wei country is not chaotic enough?

"I am a loyal and good minister of the Han Dynasty, how can I be called emperor?"

"If you and I form an alliance and wipe out Liu Bei like the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves, why can't this great person sit?"

It was originally a document of persuasion.

This Sun Zhongmou played a good hand!

Chen Qun's eyes lit up, and he hurried forward and said: "The Han Dynasty has been declining for a long time, Your Highness has great merit and virtue, and all living beings look up to him. Now that Sun Quan is proclaiming his ministership, this is the response of heaven and man, and there is a strange voice. bit."

How great is the merit of this minister who persuaded him to follow the dragon?
Chen Qun is such a smart person, he should seize the opportunity.

When Cao Hong and the others saw it, they also came to their senses.

Regardless of whether Cao Cao wants to proclaim himself emperor or not, as Wei Wang's courtiers, they must show this gesture.

Even if Cao Cao didn't proclaim himself emperor, they showed their loyalty.

If you become emperor, that is the merit of persuading you to advance!
"Today, the four seas return to their hearts, all the auspiciousness comes out, the fate belongs to the Lord, and it is advisable to inherit the great rule as soon as possible." Cao Hong held a wat board and shouted loudly in the hall.

"The ministers dare to test the heart of heaven and earth. Because of the interest of Xia Xia, they are ignorant of the title of honor. May your majesty keep the love of Shun and Yu to the public, and the narrow nest will be the festival of anti-corruption, and the community will be the service, not the small deeds first, and the head of Guizhou Worrying is not a matter of restraint. At the top, comforting the ancestral temple is the heart of care, and at the bottom, it is to explain the hope of the whole world. It is said that prosperity is born in withered weeds, and flesh is grown in decayed bones. God and man are safe, and there is no misfortune. .”

Sima Yi was on the side, also giving a rainbow fart.

The reaction of the officials was beyond Cao Cao's expectation.

"I have been in the Han Dynasty for many years. Although I have made merits and virtues for the people, but as a king, I am already very famous. How dare I have more hope? Gou's destiny is lonely, and he is the king of Zhou Wen alone."

In fact, he was also moved by the officials' persuasion.

If you make him 30 or [-] years younger, maybe he still has this ambition.

But now that he is very old, he still wants to be emperor?

It is thankful to be able to do a good job in the aftermath.

Now Yun Chang is in Jingzhou with Liu Chan, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, making it difficult for him to sleep or eat.

Proclaim emperor at this critical node?
Maybe he, Cao Mengde, will become the second Yuan Gonglu.

"Why should your lord refuse to attack Liu Bei together, only one Hefei is enough, why don't your lord not do it?"

Regardless of whether it is a vassal or an alliance, the meaning of the Jiangdong envoy is very clear.

That is him Jiangdong wants Hefei!
"Hefei is an important place. If Zhongmou is willing to raise troops from Jiangxia first and attack Jiangling, then I can offer Hefei to him!"

Want to have both sides?

It also depends on whether you have this ability in advance!
"But if my lord sends troops, what if King Wei repents?"

Cao Cao laughed loudly and said, "Is Gu Zhongmou's idiot? If I say a word, I will give it to Hefei, so I will give it to Hefei! You Jiangdong have broken the alliance several times, how can you believe it? What if the lonely general Hefei Offer it up, your lord will turn his head and attack me with that Yunchang, what should I do?"

The generation of the two ends of the first mouse, the words are no longer credible!
The Jiangdong envoy's face turned bitter.

In fact, Sun Quan really had this idea when he was in Jianye.

can only say.
Sun Quan's shamelessness is now known to everyone in the world.

At least King Wei's understanding of Sun Quan can be said to be thorough.

"If that's the case, then I, Jiangdong, Liu Chan, Prince of Hanzhong, and Guan Yu, Marquis of Hanshouting, will attack Wei from both sides. How will King Wei treat you?"

With a solemn tone, he said: "Now it is you Wei Guo who begs me, not me, Jiang Dong, who begs you Wei Guo."

A dog-like character who wants to take advantage of others?

Meng De was angry in his heart, but what the Jiangdong envoy said was not unreasonable.

Jiangdong now has both sides.

Regardless of whether it is the Wei State or the Shu Han side, if they get Jiang Dong's help, they will take the initiative in terms of the battle situation.

It's a pity that Jiangdong has no integrity and cannot be trusted.

Even if it is an oath, you must be on guard.

"Your Majesty, why don't you send all the fortresses and corner cities outside Hefei to Jiangdong, and leave only the main city. With such sincerity, is the envoy satisfied?"

King Wei looked at the speaker and found that it was Jia Xu.

He thought about it and felt that this was indeed a solution.

He is still clear about Wen Yuan's ability.

As long as he is there, there will be only one main city left, and Hefei may not be impossible to defend.

"What does the envoy think?"

Meng De looked at the Jiangdong envoy.

Hefei is an important town. If all the defensive fortresses and corner cities outside were given to Jiangdong, leaving only one main city, what would be the difference between Hefei and a general who had taken off his armor and weapons?

Wouldn't he just let Jiangdong knead him?

He thought about it, then nodded.

"If so, you can also swear!"

Seeing that the matter had been accomplished, Sima Yi stepped forward at this time and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, now that Sun Quan has become a subject, the covenant has been fulfilled, and the King can confer titles and honors to reject Liu Bei."

"it is good!"

Just a mere official position.

It's not worth a lot of money, and besides, Sun Quan doesn't need Cao Cao to pay his salary.

"Today, the solitary meeting will be presented to His Majesty, and Sun Quan will be granted the title of Hussar General, Nanchang Marquis, and Jingzhou Shepherd. Immediately, an envoy will be sent to Soochow to finish it."

The Jiangdong envoys were delighted when they heard about it.

The purpose of his mission today is to achieve one.

Meng De looked at the Jiangdong envoy and said, "Since you have been conferred a title, quickly order your lord to send troops to attack Jiangling. Our army is already in Nanyang."

But Jiangdong's envoy said: "Now that our lord is proclaiming his minister, the battle should start from Nanyang. First, attract Jiangling's Wudang flying army to Nanyang, so that I, Jiangdong, can win."

He's really a Jiangdong rat!

Don't want to take risks, only think about the benefits.

To be in the company of this rat is really to lose my reputation as Cao Mengde!

However, now that the situation is like this, he, Cao Cao, has no choice but to succumb temporarily.

"Twenty days later, let's strike the cloud together!"

It's better to set a time.

Although according to Sun Zhongmou's urination, it must be delayed for a few days.

but.
If he can ignite a war in Jiangling and let Yun Chang and Liu Gongsi take care of one and lose the other, then it will be useful.

The two alliances of Wei, Jiangdong, and Sun Quan secretly formed an alliance with me.

in this way!

Yun Chang, you will still be my opponent of Cao Mengde?
