The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

"Whispering up the white clouds and flying to Qize, singing songs and singing about the rivers and waters moving Sanxiang. Don't hesitate to buy fine wine by boat, and spend thousands of dollars to buy spring fragrance."

Chen Zhen strode into the hall with his head held high, then bowed and said in a rude manner: "I see Prime Minister Cao."

Cao Cao looked down contemptuously, but ignored him.

Chen Zhen continued to speak loudly: "I refer to Prime Minister Cao of the Han Dynasty, and refer to Prime Minister Cao of the Han Dynasty..."

In the end, Cao Cao was overwhelmed by Chen Zhen's impatience and asked with a half-smile, "Who's next?"

"My servant, Liu Biao, governor of Jingzhou, Chen Zhen."

"You haven't become a king in Jingzhou for a long time. You once dared to fight against Wang Shi and violated the imperial edict. I don't know what you are doing this time?"

"Prime Minister, the nine counties of Jingxiang belong to the land of the Han Dynasty, and the prime minister is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. If the prime minister of the Han Dynasty does not maintain the territory of the Han Dynasty, how can he convince the world..."

"Chen Zhen, if you can argue sophistry, what do you think if I discuss it with my civil and military officers?"

Xu Chu shouted grumpily: "Prime Minister, last time I was defeated in Wancheng, I have always been unwilling, we must avenge this time!"

Cheng Yu stood up and said slowly: "My lord, it is not suitable for us to attack Wancheng now. Now our strong enemy is Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao has already stationed troops on the north bank of the Yellow River and will attack at any moment. We have to guard against it. If we divide up Wancheng Fortress, it is very difficult to deal with Yuan Shao's army."

Tingting Cao Cao seemed to be reasonable, she gently supported her beard and nodded approvingly.

Guo Jia actually stood up and replied: "Prime Minister, I personally think that our army should assist Jingzhou, and we should fight quickly, decisively, and quickly. I think the ambitions of Wancheng soldiers are not small. Once they win Jingzhou, they will directly fight Our army forms a confrontation, we will be attacked by the north and the south, and the consequences will be disastrous."

Cao Ren stood up as the leader of the generals and said: "Prime Minister, it is important for our army to guard against Yuan Shao's army."

Cao Hong, Cao Chun, etc. Cao's generals agreed with Cao Ren's views.

At this time, Zhang Liao stood up and said: "We must quickly and resolutely annihilate the Wancheng soldiers. Among them are Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Ma Chao, and Zhang Xiu. Once they recover, it will be difficult to annihilate them. .”

Zhang Liao's views were endorsed by Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Jin, and Xu Huang, and Xun You also strongly advocated sending troops to Wancheng.

Finally, Cao Cao turned his attention to the Xiahou brothers.

Xiahou Dun stood up and said clearly, "We are willing to listen to the prime minister's command, and we will fight wherever the prime minister goes."

Cao Cao replied: "General Xiahou, you are a big cunning."

However, Xia Houyuan disagreed with his brother's opinion and said: "Prime Minister, sending troops is inevitable. Yuan Shao's army has not yet fully assembled. I heard that he is now attacking Gongsun Zan with all his strength, so our army sent elite cavalry to attack for a long distance to destroy Wancheng." After the war, we are turning to Hebei to deal with Yuan Shao."

After Xia Houyuan's speech, the group of civil and military officials began to discuss all kinds of things...

Chen Zhen has been watching these civil and military ministers under Cao Cao with cold eyes. He knows that it is almost time, and Cao Cao should make a decision.

Cao Cao immediately coughed, and immediately the whole hall fell into silence.

Cao Cao asked with a smile: "Mr. Chen, you see that my subordinates are not unified, and I don't know which side to listen to?"

Knowing that this was Cao Cao's trickery, Chen Zhen immediately stood up and said, "If the Prime Minister succeeds in sending troops to rescue the siege, Jingzhou is willing to offer Nanyang, Nanjun, Nanxiang and Xinye Mansion. I don't know what the Prime Minister wants?"

"Okay, we will take over these lands for the emperor."

Cao Cao thought for a while and finally began to give orders.

"Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xiahou Dun."

"The end is here."

"Order Cao Ren to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Xiahou Dun to be the deputy commander-in-chief, Cao Hong and Cao Chun to be the generals, and immediately lead [-] troops to Guandu to guard against Yuan Shao."

"Yes."

"Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Le Jin, Xia Houyuan."

"The end is here."

"You divide your troops into two groups. Zhang Liao, Xia Houyuan, you lead [-] cavalry, Li Dian and Le Jin, you lead [-] infantry to Jingzhou to relieve the siege. You take Xia Houyuan as the commander of the three armies, and Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Le Jin as the deputy commanders. You can do it cheaply and set off immediately. .”

"Yes."

"Mr. Chen, you go back to Jingzhou first, and discuss the specific contact matters with General Xiahou."

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

Cao Cao left in a huff, Chen Zhen's purpose of this trip was also achieved, and this was the beginning of another bloody battle
