Zhuge was reborn, killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 707 Cao Zhen’s Decision ([-])
Cao Zhen's words made the generals suddenly stunned. Zang Ba and others were not completely unable to understand Cao Zhen's real choice.

But when Cao Zhen said such words, everyone couldn't help but look ugly.

"General, are you being too serious?" At this time, Zang Ba finally couldn't sit still. He stood up and started questioning Cao Zhen.

Cao Xiu on the side also stood up immediately after seeing this.

And he roared angrily at Zang Ba.

"Zang Ba, don't be presumptuous!"

Cao Xiu was in charge of the Eastern Front all year round. He was not only Xiahou Dun's successor, but also Zang Ba's commander.

Although the two sides have had some problems over the years, overall they get along pretty well, otherwise Cao Pi would not have delayed Qingxu until now to resolve them.

If it had been before, after Zang Ba heard Cao Xiu's angry rebuke, even if he had something wrong in his heart, he would not really say anything.

But this time, Zang Ba knew that his future might be decided by this battle.

If he didn't evacuate, he might really miss Qingxu, so he stood directly in front of Cao Zhen regardless of Cao Xiu's anger and obstruction.

I argued with him rationally.

After seeing this, Cao Xiu couldn't help but his face darkened, and he also rushed over, as if he wanted to forcefully pull Zang Xuangao away.
"Okay!" Just when the two were about to have a dispute, Cao Zhen simply raised his hand and interrupted all their movements.

Looking at Zang Ba who had "unwilling to give up" written all over his face, Cao Zhen did not blame him too much, nor did he directly relinquish his military power here.

Instead, he started writing on the map.

These are several marching routes, including Xu Shu abandoning Runan again, and attacking Qichun and Lujiang in the east of the Yangtze River with all his strength.

Zhao Yun and Wenpin also advanced by land and water to attack Yuzhang.

Wang Ping, Ma Zhong, and Zhang Yi led their troops directly into the eastern part of Kuaiji County.
And that Li Yan cut off the connection between Wujun and Kuaiji.

Wu Ban, Huang Quan and others went directly upstream and entered the Huaihe River again to enter Xuzhou.

These marching routes have been directly marked. Now the generals in this large tent are all Cao family generals, and they are all veteran generals of Cao Wei.

Naturally, everyone will not understand, and there is no need for Cao Zhen to explain too much.

At the same time, Cao Zhen also put forward his most important introduction.

"Now we have only two choices: attack Wu Commandery and destroy Sun Quan!
Or withdraw from Huaisi and give up Jiangdong.

I know your thoughts, and it doesn't matter if you return to Huaisi. After all, Jiangdong is not a very useful land for us.

And the aristocratic families in this Jiangdong land are also different from other places, and it is difficult for us to govern them now.

But think about it, if we withdraw, Liu Chan will immediately rush over with all his troops.

When we retreated, Jiangdong Zhuju, He Qi and others would definitely not follow us and leave like this, although Sun Quan did not say much.

But this time they are nothing short of betrayal!

Even if Sun Quan agreed to their return, there were still a few people who were willing to take the risk and return to Sun Quan's command.

At this time, as long as Xu Shu gave up Runan, he could attack Jiangdong with all his strength. Under the pressure of various armies, the Jiangdong family had no choice but to make another choice.

He might even join Liu Bei directly!

In this case, wouldn't we have made Liu Bei's wedding dress?
Moreover, once they are allowed to occupy Jiangdong, they will use the navy in the hands of Wu Ban Huang Quan to harass Xuzhou Guangling Xiapi and other places.

Then the navy in the hands of He Qi, Zhu Ju and others attacked our front directly from the Yangtze River. Under such a front and rear attack, our morale and morale were unstable again.

How to save Xuzhou? "

Cao Zhen's words made Zang Ba open his mouth several times but had no choice but to close it. He looked at the map in front of him and thought of many words to refute.But it undoubtedly proves that he is just messing around.

This is a situation that they are very likely to face, and it can even be said that they will definitely face it.

And breaking this situation is not a comfortable thing.

Cao Zhen looked at Zang Ba and others and said no more, and then continued.

"But if we attack Wu County directly, the situation will be different again!
First of all, all our troops are in Jiangdong. We can give up most of Qichun and Lujiang, and then send troops and horses to directly guard the key places of Poyang, eastern Yuzhang, Danyang, and the middle section of Kuaiji.

Then send a group of soldiers and horses to fight with Li Yan, so that even if Liu Chan wants to send troops, he will definitely not be able to break through our defense line in a short time.

After that, I can command the army to attack Wu Jun directly, storm Wu Jun and kill Sun Quan!

If we win this battle, we won almost all of Jiangdong's territory, and we will also preserve the heritage of many wealthy families in Jiangdong.

We can have further cooperation with them and let them help us block Liu Chan's troops.

And continue to hold Jingzhou back to make more preparations for future wars."

After Cao Zhen finished speaking, his generals did not refute, nor did they nod. However, after a brief period of hesitation, someone asked a question again.

"There is nothing wrong with the general's move, but now our army does not have enough food.

If the fighting continues, they can only be mobilized from Shouchun and other places.

But now that Xuzhou is in chaos, Huaisi has suffered a great loss from the departure of the Huaisi farmers.

Without the support of follow-up food and grass, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to accomplish this! "

Faced with this question, Cao Zhen did not hesitate or refute it. Instead, he looked at everyone and said it very seriously.

"If I am confident that my soldiers will avoid the risk of food shortage, will you be willing to continue to help me?"

Cao Zhen's words made all the generals look at each other. They didn't expect that the situation had reached this point.

Cao Zhen actually betrayed him.

However, looking at Cao Zhen's rather firm gaze, all the generals still stood up.

"If the general is like this, we will definitely fight to the death!"

Even Zang Ba shouted loudly at this moment.

For no other reason than that, he didn’t want to fall out, let alone have no way to fall out!
Seeing that the generals were finally stabilized by him, Cao Zhen waved his hand to let them retreat first.

Then Zhu Ju, Gu Cheng, He Jing and others were asked to come to see him.

During this period, with the confrontation between Cao and Liu, the situation in the world became increasingly turbulent.

These Jiangdong wealthy families, who had already made their choice early, felt uneasy in their hearts.

In addition, Cao Zhen deliberately ignored them and refused to let them participate in discussions many times, which aggravated their doubts.

I'm afraid that one day Cao Zhen will evacuate directly with his soldiers and horses, and then leave them in the east of Zhejiang to protect them from disaster.

By that time, they will truly be no longer human inside and out.

But today, Cao Zhen didn't tell them this. Looking at the people in front of him, Cao Zhen said straight to the point.

"Today... I would like to make a deal with you, and even the families behind you, how about it?"
