My Ji Han Dynasty was prosperous in martial arts, but I have always convinced people with virtue

Chapter 48
Yecheng.

In half a month, Cao Cao exhausted his energy and allocated troops, horses, food and grass to support Hefei.

When Cao Cao was about to lead the army to set off, he saw his counselor Cheng Yu running over in a panic.

After Xun Yu's death, Cheng Yu, as a veteran, stayed in the rear and took Xun Yu's position.

"Defeated... Defeated..."

"Hefei lost?"

At this moment, even the weather-beaten Cao Cao was dizzy.

Once Hefei is lost, Shouchun is in danger!

"Lonely committed a crime!"

Cao Cao was riding on the horse and almost fell off. Fortunately, Xu Chu caught Cao Cao with quick eyesight and quick hands.

Cheng Yu patted his thigh.

"It wasn't General Zhang Liao, it was Sun Quan who lost!"

Cao Cao tilted his face, touched his head, and listened to Cheng Yu's continuation.

"General Zhang Liao led [-] warriors to the front of a [-] army in the east of the Yangtze River, and defeated Sun Quan. Sun Quan refused to accept it. After more than ten days, he personally cut off the rear, but General Zhang Liao seized the opportunity. In the battle of Xiaoyaojin, all the generals of Eastern Wu were defeated, and Sun Quan's most elite tiger warriors were wiped out!"

As Cheng Yu said, Cao Cao let go of his hand touching his head.

"Gu's headache seems to be getting better."

Cao Cao was already preparing to set out for rescue. After hearing this report, his headache stopped and his mood improved.

Immediately, Cao Cao returned to Tongque Terrace and read the battle report ahead again.

came to a conclusion.

Blue-eyed boy, with Bai Ye showing such momentum!
This battle was fought so heartily, Sun Quan's big show on the battlefield ended in a humiliating way.

Either Zhang Liao is too strong, or Sun Quan is too weak.

Possibly, there are two factors.

In any case, the battle ahead was peaceful, and Cao Cao felt relieved.

Just as Cao Cao put his energy on Liu Bei again, he got a piece of information that made him feel bad.

Liu Chan, the son of Liu Bei, made a handicap in Jiangxia City. With exaggerated odds of [-] to [-], he accurately predicted the outcome of the Hefei battle and won a large sum of money.

The generals of the Eastern Wu not only lost face, but also lost their reputation.

"Why is this kid again?"

For Cao Cao, Liu Bei, the son, danced better than his father.

Immediately, Cao Cao decided to dispatch more secret agents to keep an eye on this kid.
-
In the spring of the 20th year of Jian'an, Liu Chan, the eldest son of Liu Jiangye in Nanzhong, was recalled to Chengdu.

Others went to Nanzhong, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and they came back much thinner.

Liu Chan went there and became much stronger.

It's just that the reunion of father and son didn't have the warm picture that he had imagined, so Lao Liu scolded Liu Chan blatantly.

"You son of a bitch, bring me into trouble."

Old Liu was very angry about Jiang Xia's handicap.

"I see, I will help you a little next time."

Old Liu heard this, and with a snap, the shoe flew over, but fortunately Liu Chan avoided it.

Due to his demeanor as a king, Liu Bei did not continue to be violent, and sat on the throne with one bare foot, cursing.

"Do I care about the little money? What I care about is the Sun-Liu Alliance. Besides, how much can you earn from your business?"

Liu Chan snapped his fingers and calculated.

"Equip [-] elite soldiers and dare not say, [-] should be rich."

"so much?"

Old Liu said it unconsciously, but then he felt that he was out of style, and then cursed.

"Zhuzi, is this about money?"

"if not?"

Liu Chan spread his hands and looked innocent.

"Sun Quan was defeated, and his heart was already filled with anger. You haven't attracted the anger of Soochow now. Is it worth offending the generals of Soochow for such a small amount of money?"

Old Liu spoke the truth persuasively, and then nodded when he saw Liu Chan.

"Of course it's worth it."

Old Liu's face was full of anger, and he muttered.

"Where are my male and female swords?"

Old Liu couldn't find the sword, so he took off the shoe on the other foot, and threw it over with a snap.

This time, Liu Chan hid again.

"You still dare to hide, don't you!"

Lao Liu stood up and was about to make a move, but was stopped by the people from the left and right palaces.

"Your Majesty calm down!"

Lao Liu pointed at Liu Chan's nose and said angrily.

"If you don't say you're ugly today, boy, this beating is indispensable."

According to Lao Liu's opinion, it would be best for Sun Quan to conquer Hefei, so as to contain Cao Cao's troops and save himself trouble.

Otherwise, Sun Quan would have to stare at Jingzhou every day?

"Soochow doesn't have the strength to make progress, and it should be able to defeat Hefei. As for whether Sun Quan will miss Jingzhou, there is no doubt, he will definitely."

Old Liu hummed and asked back.

"In that case, what should we do?"

Liu Chan smiled charmingly, waved his hand, and made a killing gesture.

"It's better to take advantage of the new defeat of Soochow and gather all the troops of our Shu Kingdom, march eastward, occupy Jianye, destroy Soochow, and seize his Sun's community. After that, we can fight Cao Cao to rule the river and compete for the world."

"Where's my sword?"

Lao Liu looked around, feeling very angry.

If Sun Quan was so easy to fight, I would have killed him long ago.

Cao Cao led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack Soochow twice, but no progress was made.

He only has so many troops now, throw them all in, do you think Cao Cao is dead?

"Then we will take the action of destroying Wu, increase the number of soldiers in Jiangxia, and scare Sun Quan so that he will not act rashly. Then, we will look for opportunities to seize Xiangfan."

Old Liu nodded.

The idea sounds plausible.

It's good to scare Sun Quan, so that he won't send envoys to ask him for Jingzhou every now and then.

I agree in my heart, but Lao Liu, who should ask, still wants to ask.

"Why?"

"Sun Quan has the wonder of Goujian. If you are strong, he will be weak, and if you are weak, he will be strong. He will seize the opportunity when you are weak, and stab you in the back. Cao Cao dodged this time, and we have to be careful next time."

"You go down first!"

After hearing this, Liu Chan quickly slipped away.Liu Bei picked up the shoes from the ground, put them on, and sat back to the original position.

"Sir, how about my scorpion, can I get into the eyes of the master?"

The person who has been hiding behind and listening is Minister Xu Jing. Behind him, there are many local Yizhou factions.

If Liu Chan wants to inherit Liu Bei's position, it is very important to get the support of these Yizhou local factions.

"The crown prince is so heroic that he is sure to succeed the Han dynasty."

Xu Jing cupped his hands and saluted, expressing his admiration.
-
Jianye.

After losing the battle and losing his prestige, Sun Quan's painstaking efforts were completely destroyed.

Sun Quan was blocked.

Hefei in the north and Jiangxia in the west, even if Dongwu has an army of [-], he can't use it!
Is he going to stay in Jiangdong for the rest of his life?

Sun Quan felt that the road ahead was gloomy.

What made him feel even more comforted was that Liu Bei continued to send more troops to Jiangxia to build up the defense of Jiangxia City.

Do you want to make a move on him?

In the palace, Lu Su came slowly, saw Sun Quan's lonely look, but heard him speak first.

"What does Liu Bei say?"

"Over there, the increase of troops in Jiangxia City is just an ordinary deployment."

Sun Quan smiled dismissively, but his heart was full of suspicion.

"Zijing, do you believe it? If it wasn't for Liu Bei knowing about the Hefei World War I, he thought he could be bullied and wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack him?"

"My lord is newly defeated, but the three-legged power in the world is still there. Liu Bei will definitely not have such an idea. In my opinion, this is probably caused by Liu Chan."

When Sun Quan thought of Liu Adou, his teeth itch with hatred.

"Zhuzi, you've insulted me too much!"

"Jiangdong's career is enough to stick to it. Cao and Liu will eventually fight, and then it will be our chance."
