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

Chapter 56 Heroes
Cao Cao is in crisis!
Nanyang County is the foundation left by Zhang Xiu.

In recent years, in order to support Xiangfan and fight against Guan Yu, Nanyang County has often transfused blood to the front line of Xiangfan.

Cao Cao's pumping is too hard!
So much so that Zhao Yun's solitary army took Wuguan, and the people inside Wancheng were unstable, and they almost wanted to cause a civil uprising.

Cao Cao could only urgently dispatch Man Chong and Li Dian to lead [-] troops to sit in Wancheng to guard against Zhao Yun, and also to stabilize the morale of Cao Ren and Le Jin on the front line of Xiangfan.

Liu Bei is attacking Chang'an, and Guan Yu is besieging Xiangfan.

There are two directions, once one direction is broken by Shu, the situation will change drastically.

Cao Cao is still not moving. Apart from the complicated situation on the battlefield, he is still worried about one person's attitude.

Sun Quan!

Sima Yi walked in slowly, bringing the latest news from Jiangdong.

"My lord, there is news from Jiang Ji that Sun Quan has promised us that he will attack Jiangxia."

After hearing the news, Cao Cao didn't look very happy.

It's not because Cao Cao is worried about his subordinates and wants to pretend to be unpredictable in front of them, but because he has doubts in his heart.

"Sun Quan is cunning, can you believe his words?"

In case Sun Quan took advantage of Cao Cao's main force in Guanzhong and led his army to attack Hefei again, Wei Guo did not have any spare troops to divide his troops to the south.

Hefei, when the time comes, Huainan will belong to Sun Quan.

Facing Cao Cao's question, Sima Yi answered in the affirmative.

"Sun Quan will help us!"

"Why?"

"Sun Quan suffered a disastrous attack on Hefei last time, and if he goes north in a short time, the Soochow army will definitely feel suspicious and fearful, this is one of them.

The alliance between Sun and Liu was originally Sun Qiang and Liu Ruo, but Liu Bei now has 20 armors and is so powerful that Sun Quan must be jealous in his heart.

Attack Jiangxia and take Jingzhou, and the three-legged confrontation will be rebalanced. This is what Sun Quan would like to see, the third. "

After Sima Yi said one by one, Cao Cao became more and more sure.

However, what finally strengthened Cao Cao's confidence was not Sima Yi's words, but an obituary.

Guo Huai, Xia Houyuan's deputy, escaped from Chang'an and told Cao Cao the latest news.

"My lord, the city of Chang'an was broken, and Liu Bei led his army to enter. General Xiahou stood firm and fought, but was beheaded by Shu general Huang Zhong! General Xiahou asked the last general to take the lead, and ask the king to avenge him!"

Chang'an City was destroyed so quickly!

Cao Cao was stunned, and then a burst of severe pain came.

Cao Cao covered his head, mourning in his heart, and said.

"Wonderful talent..."

The grief in Cao Cao's heart was second to none, and a sense of urgency surged up.With red eyes, he gave the order.

"Order Zhang Yun as the general of the former army, Xiahou Dun as the general of the central army, Xu Huang as the left guard, Cao Hong as the right guard, and Xu Chu as the general of the town army. Each of them will command the troops and horses and march to Guanzhong. We must fight the big-eared bandits to the death!"
-
Liu Bei stood on the wall of Chang'an City, looking at the entire ancient capital of Chang'an.

The air was still filled with the smell of blood, and the battlefield hadn't been cleaned up completely, and a large area of ​​houses in the city had collapsed.

The palace is desolate, and the city is twilight.

Liu Bei's feeling at the moment is as if he has caught up with a goddess he has liked for a long time.

As a result, the goddess is no longer the goddess she was at the beginning, her looks faded and she became an aunt.

Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, and Lu Bu was driven out of Guanzhong by Jia Xu.

After that, Li Jue and Guo Si rushed into Chang'an, killed Wang Yun, forced all officials, and took power.

However, they didn't know how to govern the country at all, and made Guanzhong a mess.

After the death of Li Jue and Guo Si, Guanzhong experienced a long period of chaos. It was not until Cao Cao defeated the Ma Chao coalition army a few years ago that Guanzhong had some improvement.

But it is impossible to change the scars caused by decades of war in a few years.

Guanzhong is in decline, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Liu Bei is still unable to unify the entire Guanzhong, and the supplies in Guanzhong may not be able to support this war.

Subsequent supplies will also be transported from Hanzhong and Bashu.

Pang Tong came up and cupped his hands.

"My lord, when the city was broken, Xia Houyuan burned all the supplies, food and grass in the city."

"Cao thief's younger brother is also a famous general, let's bury him!"

"My lord is merciful!"

For Pang Tong at this time, burying Xia Houyuan was a trivial matter after all.

"My lord, I have ordered the soldiers to urgently build a granary. The batch of grain and grass transported from Hanzhong and Bashu have been settled properly. However, the city of Chang'an is dilapidated, so I'm afraid it won't be enough to defend against the enemy. Next, there will be a big battle."

Pang Tong predicted that as long as Cao Cao knew the news that Chang'an City had changed hands, he would personally lead the main force to come.

At this time, the main fortresses in Guanzhong, Linjin and Tongguan, were in the hands of Cao Cao, and they could not confront Cao Cao across the Yellow River.

Then you can only take a step back and form an array along the Weishui River and its tributaries.

Without the big river blocking it, it is inevitable that the battle between the two armies will not be reduced.

"The minister has already ordered Wei Yan, Meng Da, and Liu Feng to seize important places such as Chongquan and Xiagui."

"Shiyuan, well done."

This battle will determine the trend of the world.

Liu Bei's fighting spirit was burning hot.

After running around the Central Plains for decades, now, he finally has the strength to fight Cao Cao.

"Announce the whole army and let all the soldiers prepare for the battle with all their strength, and they must fight the Cao thief."
-
Jianye.

Standing on the warship heading to Hefei, Sun Quan glanced at the turbulent river and praised him.

"It's so lively!"

Jiangdong's [-] troops, taking advantage of Cao Cao's transfer of the main force to Guanzhong, set off from Jianye again and went to the front line of Hefei.

It's just that this journey is no longer as high-spirited as last time, but slow and steady.

Standing behind Sun Quan, Lu Su naturally knew what Sun Quan was talking about?
"A battle between Cao Cao and Liu Bei is probably unavoidable."

The place in Guanzhong, the eight hundred miles plain, is very suitable for the collision of large armies.

Hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides fought in a scuffle. No matter who wins or loses, the strength of both Cao and Liu will definitely decrease.

For Soochow, the results are acceptable.

"How about Jingzhou?"

"Guan Yu is attacking Xiangfan with all his strength, and Wenpin still has [-] troops left behind."

"What about Hefei?"

"Cao Cao still hasn't transferred Zhang Liao."

"It seems that whether it is Cao Cao or Liu Bei, they are still guarding against loneliness!"

Sun Quan sighed slightly, but he didn't care.

"Zijing, what do you think Cao Cao will look like when he finds out that I want to attack Hefei at this time?"

"I'm probably surprised!"

Sun Quan nodded, agreeing with Lu Su's statement, and at the same time, he asked.

"Notify the whole army, after arriving in Hefei, according to the water, do not approach Hefei City."

"promise!"

The world was in turmoil, and when Cao Cao's main force marched to Guanzhong, Sun Quan once again led an army of [-] to attack Hefei.

However, when he arrived at the foot of Hefei City, Sun Quan did not attack immediately, but set up Dazhai far outside Hefei City.

In the tent, Sun Quan was reading a book, when Lu Su approached, news came from afar.

"There is news from Lu Meng, he is ready."

Sun Quan was not in a hurry, sitting in the tent, still reading the book.

"Tell Lu Meng, don't be in a hurry, you must find the right time."

"promise!"
