Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

"Go and call Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun and others to discuss the matter." Cao Cao's intuition told him that this matter was not easy.

Discuss with everyone, otherwise you may capsize in the gutter.

The southeast side is now pulling the nerves of people all over the world, not to mention the death of Liu Feng.Therefore, the small official was not surprised that Cao Cao summoned these six important officials.

"No." Responding, the little official hurried away.

Cao Cao took a look at the sky, and drove towards the study with his entourage.

Xudu is the later capital, not as huge as Chang'an in the first Han Dynasty and Luoyang in the later Han Dynasty, which gathered the power of the world and were repaired for several generations.

Xudu's palace is not even a quarter of the size of Luoyang Palace.

In comparison, Cao Cao's prime minister's mansion is only slightly smaller than Xudu's palace.Therefore, Cao Cao usually travels by car when he is in the mansion.

In the prime minister's mansion, important discussions were held from time to time, and the ministers of civil and military affairs of Xudu were summoned.The more frequent ones are small-scale discussions, and they usually convene some peerless advisors.

Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun, and the former Guo Jia and others.

Therefore, although Cao Lv's study is called a study, its shape and size are better than the general halls of wealthy people.

When Cao Cao came to the study, his Xun Yu and others did not keep Cao Cao waiting for a long time, but after a quarter of an hour, they each put down their affairs and came to the study.

After the monarch and his ministers bowed to each other, they sat down with each other.

Cao Cao raised his head and looked at the heavy adviser.Among them, Jia Xu's face paused, and he felt a little regretful about what happened in Jingzhou.

Cao Cao once asked Jia Xu about countermeasures after he pacified Jingzhou.Jia Xu persuaded him, admonishing him to go to Jingzhou, and accept it as soon as he sees it.

Send a general to lead the Jingzhou water army to guard it.Figure it out slowly.

And from various explanations, it is said that Liu Feng has an army of more than [-], which should not be taken lightly.On the contrary, Sun Quan was weaker, so he could lead his army back to the north to plot against Sun Quan.

It's a pity that Cao Cao didn't listen to it at that time.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt a little annoyed, but it didn't show on his face.Victory or defeat is standard issue.How can he show sadness because of a defeat?

Self-restraint, diameter at breast height, pride.There is no shortage of Cao Cao.

Therefore, Cao Cao just stayed on Jia Xu's face for a moment, then looked away.He continued to glance at the remaining few people.

Last time, Cao Cao didn't listen to Jia Xu's words, but he didn't pay much attention to Liu Feng.But Cao Cao won't do it this time, so he summoned these people to discuss countermeasures.

"I called you here today, but the spies from the Jiangdong side sent the news that Liu Feng is dead." After withdrawing his gaze, Cao Cao looked straight ahead and said slowly.

"Duke Ming, Jiangling is not guaranteed." As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Cheng Yu frowned and said.

Everyone was still digesting the news, but Cheng Yu's thoughts were as fast and bright as lightning and thunder.

"Oh? How did Zhongmou see it?" Cao Cao could guess what Cheng Yu was going to say next, but he didn't show it on his face, just looked at Cheng Yu with a smile.

"Since the death of Emperor Xiaoling, all the heroes in the world have risen together, and there are countless rebels. The Duke of Ming raised troops to help the Han Dynasty, and wiped out countless sycophants. Only Liu Feng, Sun Quan, Liu Bei and others are left. The battle of Chibi, Ming Dynasty The defeat of the Duke greatly increased the power of the southeast side, and there was a hidden momentum to compete with the north. But on the southeast side, there were Liu Feng, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei, which might cause chaos. Therefore, Xu Huang of Jiangling led troops to Jiangling But now that Liu Feng is dead, Zhou Yu will have no scruples in the rear, and he can run rampant in Jingchu, go north to capture Jiangling, or even Xiangyang. When he looks back, he will wipe out Liu Feng's remnants, drive them away, and eliminate Liu Bei. The Sun family ruled the southeast, and the consequences would be disastrous." Cheng Yu's surname was blunt, and he was a little anxious, so he finished all he wanted to say in one breath.

"What Zhong De said is very true. Zhou Yu will probably go north to attack Jiangling and Xiangyang. Now Jiangling still has Xu Huang, who has [-] soldiers, who can deal with him. But Xiangyang has no generals to guard, and needs to send troops to fight with him. Jiangling will reinforce each other." Xun Yu, sitting first on Cao Cao's right hand, nodded in agreement.

The rest of the people didn't speak, but they all agreed with Cheng Yu and Xun Yu's words.

"Hehe, Jiang Linggu never thought of keeping it." Cao Cao nodded with a smile after listening, but he had some ideas in his heart, so he couldn't help laughing.

"Please tell me, Lord." Cheng Yu couldn't help saying, a little puzzled.

"Our army of 20 marched south, flattened Xiangfan, and marched on Jiangling. It was very powerful, but it was also defeated in Chibi, which led to the loss of prestige, and the people of Jingzhou were not attached to it. Xu Huang led [-] to [-] remnants in Jiangling, and his morale was also insufficient. And the people are not attached. It won't last long. According to Gu's estimation, April and May are the limit. Even if I increase the number of troops to defend Jiangling, I am afraid that the gain will not be worth the loss. It is better to use Jiangling as a place to maneuver and let me calm down. Jing regained his vitality, dispatched the army, and went to Xiangyang. Stick to Xiangyang, hoping to go south again in the future and attack Jingzhou." Cao Cao explained.

Cheng Yu reluctantly accepted Cao Cao's explanation. At present, Cao Cao was newly defeated, his army was turbulent, and his majesty was turbulent.Everywhere is ready to move. Among them, Gongsun Kang, Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi in the north, Ma Teng and Han Sui in the west, etc., all have intelligence showing that they are diligently training soldiers and horses, sharpening their swords.

It takes time to restore majesty and resist the heroes.Therefore, abandoning Jiangling as a place of maneuver and sticking to Xiangfan is probably not a choice.

Although Jiangling is rich and prosperous, it is a pity to lose it.

"Actually, I didn't call you here for this, but for Liu Feng." When everyone accepted Cao Cao's decision, Cao Cao suddenly said again.

"Liu Feng? Isn't he already dead?" Everyone looked at Cao Cao suspiciously. According to intelligence, Liu Feng had indeed gone to Jiangdong.

At first, they were also very puzzled.Because Jiangdong is no different from a dragon's lake and a tiger's den to Liu Feng, and therefore, everyone has somewhat expected Liu Feng's ending.

Therefore, the news of Liu Feng's death was digested so quickly.Otherwise, if someone as big as Liu Feng died suddenly, it would take at least a long time for everyone to recover and sort out their ideas.

Analyze the situation.

Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Cao Cao took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly.A look of confidence and confusion appeared on his face.

"At the beginning, when I received the news that Liu Feng was going to Jiangdong, Gu also discussed with you, but I was shocked and puzzled, but I didn't discuss why Liu Feng went to Jiangdong. Therefore, this is still a big suspense. So Gu suspects Liu It's very simple, the feudal lords have died from conspiracy and military chaos, even Sun Ce died at the hands of ordinary people, but there has never been such a way of death as Liu Feng."

As he said that, Cao Cao's eyes showed a bright color, and said: "According to Jiangdong's information, Sun Quan said that he died in a storm at sea. But I still have news. I know that when Liu Feng went to sea, the accompanying There are also Ding Feng and Gu Yong, apparently these two were sent by Sun Quan to execute Liu Feng, and now the news is that Liu Feng died in the storm, and Ding Feng and Gu Yong did not return."

"I can't see people in life, but I can't see corpses in death. I have an intuition that Liu Feng is not dead, although I don't know why Liu Feng can avoid the disaster of this sword." At the end, Cao Cao's face showed his previous self-confidence but confusion look.

Following Cao Cao's words, everyone fell into the original situation. When discussing why Liu Feng entered Jiangdong, they all showed puzzled expressions.

The people present are all extremely intelligent people, as long as one doubt is given, many ideas can be perfunctory.

"Liu Feng may not be dead, but Sun Quan must have believed it. Otherwise, he would not have spread rumors everywhere, intending to disturb the seven counties in Hannan under Liu Feng's rule. And let Zhou Yu annex Jiangling without any worries. And if Liu Feng is not dead, Zhou Yu was completely defenseless, as long as he lightly hits Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu will die. If so, the southeast side will not be dominated by Sun Quan's family, but by Liu Feng's family." Cheng Yu's brows frowned, obviously feeling tricky.

Pretty tricky.

Liu Feng, who is Sun Quan powerful?Everyone present agreed that Liu Feng was several times stronger than Sun Quan in terms of offense and ambition.In other words, the threat is stronger and more powerful.

It might be okay if the southeast side is lost to Sun Quan, but if it is lost to Liu Feng.

"If Liu Feng defeats Zhou Yu in one fell swoop, and then takes advantage of the victory to attack Jiangling, Jiangling will be hopeless. Therefore, we must stick to Xiangyang." Cao Cao said solemnly.

"How is Yu Jin?" Suddenly, Cao Cao asked.

Chen Qun, who was in charge of the documents and knew all the armies like the back of his hand, raised his fist without thinking, "After the soldiers retreated to the north, the general's 1 men are now stationed between Wancheng and Xudu. The general is working hard to restore the morale of the army."

The composition of Cao Cao's army is slightly different from Liu Feng's. His army is all generals, commanding a battalion, with as many as [-] and as few as thousands.

Xu Huang's headquarters actually had only a few thousand people, but he had a high position, so he restrained [-] to [-] remnants and stationed in Jiangling.

"The soldiers are in the rear, and the morale of the army can be stabilized. According to Wen Ze's ability, one month is enough to restore the morale of the army. Well, let's garrison for a month. After one month, we will station in Xiangyang and step up our defense."

"In addition to Xu Huang's side, although Jiangling will be lost, with his ability, he is enough to bring most of the army back to Xiangyang. In this way, the superposition of the two armies is enough to defend Xiangyang."

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Cao said to Chen Qun.

"Xiangyang is no better than Jiangling. It's closer to the rear, and it's closer even without the luggage. However, Duke Ming didn't consider Liu Feng's navy." Xun You, who had always looked dull and speechless, suddenly said.

The so-called one person is short-witted.That's the reason.

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized, and thankfully said: "If it weren't for Gongda, I would almost have ruined tens of thousands of lonely troops."

"Forbidden, build more beacon towers on the north bank of the Xiangjiang River to guard against Liu Feng's navy." Cao Cao solemnly explained to Chen Qun.

All of Cao Cao's preparations were actually to guard against Liu Feng's death. If Liu Feng was not dead, then his navy would be quite terrifying.

Cao Cao clearly remembered how shocked he was when he heard that Gan Ning was attacking Jiangdong.

The Jiangdong water army is already very strong, but Liu Feng is even stronger.If Liu Feng advances by land and water, goes to Jiangling, and attacks Xiangyang, Liu Cong may not be able to resist.

This is also the case now. If Liu Feng eliminated Zhou Yu in Jiangling, defeated Liu Bei, and occupied Jiangling, he would organize a large army to advance by land and water.

The threat is great.Among other things, it is the luggage, which may be difficult to replenish.

After thinking about it, Cao Cao felt that the construction of the Beacon Tower was just a stopgap measure, and it was not appropriate.He couldn't help but said again: "Search Xudu and the granaries around Xudu, or even collect from the powerful. You must gather enough food for tens of thousands of troops a year. In addition, open the treasury and give more weapons and leather armor. Definitely We must defend Xiangyang."

"No." Xun Yu, who basically assisted Cao Cao in handling government affairs, responded solemnly.

Although Liu Feng is not dead, and the precautions that Cao Cao has to prepare.It is all based on the speculation that Liu Feng is not dead, and the southeast side is about to change drastically.

But everyone's hearts are heavy, if such a situation really happens.Liu Feng eliminated Zhou Yu, Liu Bei, and captured Jiangling.

On the southeast side, Liu Feng's family dominates.Sun Quan or something became a foil, or even defeated.If Liu Feng goes one step further, conquer Xiangyang and occupy Shangyong.

So what kind of power and influence.

Although, Cao Cao has already faced this situation and is fully prepared.But when everyone imagined this possible scene, they couldn't help being shocked.

Back then, Liu Feng started from scratch, with only a few hundred soldiers in his hands, he was able to conquer Jiangxia and conquer the territory of the seven counties.If Liu Feng was given the complete Jiangdong and Jingchu, there would be hundreds of people and hundreds of thousands of armored troops.It also occupies a favorable location. On the one hand, it relies on a powerful navy, the Yangtze River, and the Xiangjiang River for defense.On the other hand, after accumulating strength, you can go out to the north of the river and compete with the Central Plains.

Chen Qun, who basically didn't have much research on the military situation, was even more shocked in his heart.

"You don't need to worry too much. Now I have arranged Yujin in Xiangyang alone, as well as enough food for a year, and all kinds of luggage. In addition, after Xu Huang left Jiangling, he brought soldiers. Liu Feng will start an army , will also stop Xiangyang. It will not conquer Xiangyang, or even push into Wancheng, Xudu. In addition, Sun Quan may lose tens of thousands of elites such as Zhou Yu. Liu Feng broke through. Besides." As he spoke, Cao Cao smiled slightly and said, "This is just based on my guess, if Liu Feng is really dead, then Bi Yaner will be much more obedient."

With this sentence, Cao Cao just eased the hearts of the important officials.Only Cao Cao knows how accurate his intuition is.

It's an unexplainable instinct.He has helped Cao Cao through many crises.

Liu Feng must not be dead.Cao Cao thought in his heart.

Liu Feng, how did you escape this disaster?Cao Cao raised his head and looked in the direction of Jiangdong, full of confusion.

Simply incredible.

Cao Cao is a person who dares to think and do. After the small meeting in the prime minister's mansion, he began to prepare for the changes brought about by Liu Feng's death.

In terms of dispatching supplies, there are countless carts traveling between Xudu and Xiangyang every day.
