The Three Kingdoms are invincible

Guo Jia reminded Cao Cao to beware of Liu Bei borrowing troops from Liu Biao, and to launch a surprise attack when his own army returned to aid and attack Wancheng.

The current situation is unfavorable, both Chang'an and Hefei have been attacked by the enemy. Under such circumstances, any city is extremely critical, and Wancheng, which is the barrier to the south of Xuchang, must not be missed.

It is conceivable that if Liu Bei can borrow soldiers and horses from Liu Biao to attack Wancheng, the army he will bring will not be weak. Although Wancheng is guarded by Xu Huang, it cannot be guaranteed that nothing will happen.

Just in case, it is necessary to set aside some troops to assist Xu Huang in guarding Wancheng.

Cao Cao left Gao Shun and Guo Jia in Wancheng to assist Xu Huang, and at the same time sent an additional [-] troops with Xu Huang, ordering him to guard the barrier of Wancheng.

At the same time, Cao Cao ordered Xia Houyuan to lead tiger and leopard cavalry and [-] elite soldiers, and transferred Xu Rong, a former Liangzhou general, to Xia Houyuan's command as a deputy general. He joined the army with Jia Xu and rushed to help Chang'an.

Adjust Zhang Liao and Le Jin to lead [-] elite soldiers to help Hefei.

On the other hand, Cao Cao returned to Xuchang and took command of the battle situation in various places. If he found that the battle situation in a certain place was unfavorable, he could be dispatched in time.

Originally, Lu Xun joined the army as a member of the camp, so logically speaking, he should be under Gao Shun's command to help him guard Wancheng.But Sun Jian, who attacked Hefei, had the hatred of exterminating his family, and Lu Xun was quite willing to fight Sun Jian.Therefore, after obtaining Gao Shun's consent, Lu Xun asked Cao Cao to transfer him to Hefei to assist generals Zhang Liao and Li Dian in defending the city against Sun Jian.

Facing Lu Xun's request, Cao Cao agreed after a little thought.Cao Cao is very clear about Lu Xun's growth in the past few years. It can be said that he has reached the point where he can be alone, and his personality is calm and steady. Although he has a deep hatred with Sun Jian, his reason will not be annihilated by hatred.

Originally Xiahoudun also wanted to stay in Wancheng and continue to compete with Liu Bei, but unlike Lu Xun's request, Cao Cao did not agree to Xiahoudun.Firstly, it was because Xiahoudun had a strong temper, and he was easily influenced by hatred, which led to mistakes; secondly, he was in such a predicament, and there must be an undercurrent in the court. When he returned to Xuchang, he must have a commanding general who could hold the field by his side. When necessary, it can be used as its own sharp blade to kill.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— "Standing on the city wall and watching Cao Cao's army retreat one after another, Liu Bei sighed with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

Combine Sun Jian and Ma Teng, divide them into two groups, and attack Cao Cao at the same time, making it difficult to care about it. How can such a huge and exquisite layout not make people admire it?

Although Sun Jian has been fighting with Liu Biao for the past few years, the relationship can be described as extremely bad.However, Cao Cao had a feud with Sun Jian for killing his son, and once Jingzhou fell, Cao Cao's next target would definitely be Jiangdong, so it was not difficult to send envoys to persuade Sun Jian to send troops.

The current Jiangdong is much stronger than the Jiangdong of the same period in history.In the history of another time and space, Sun Jian was killed by Huang Zu early on, and Sun Ce drifted for a long time before borrowing a team from Yuan Shu to occupy Jiangdong.However, within a few years of Sun Ce's pacification of Jiangdong, he was accidentally injured by an assassin, and finally died of his injuries.After Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, it took a long time for Jiangdong to improve.However, even so, Jiangdong barely had the strength to resist Cao Cao before the Battle of Chibi.

But in today's era, Sun Jian did not die unexpectedly, and has occupied Jiangdong to this day.During such a long period of time, Sun Jian worked hard to govern, trained troops and raised horses, as if he was a hero of one side.Although its strength is not as good as the current Cao Cao, but compared to Yuan Shao in the past, I am afraid it is not much better.Therefore, it is not difficult for Sun Jian to raise [-] elite soldiers to attack Hefei in the north.

It is easy to invite Sun Jian to send troops, but it is difficult for Sun Jian to pose a fundamental threat to Cao Cao all the way, and perhaps it is not enough to make him retreat from Xinye.Compared with Sun Jian, Ma Teng in Xiliang is also a big threat to Cao Cao. If Ma Teng and Sun Jian can raise troops at the same time, then Cao Cao will have to withdraw his troops, and the siege of Xinye will be solved by itself.

Although Zhuge Liang is very wise, he has never met Ma Tengsu, so it is impossible to have a thorough understanding of his character.

However, although it is impossible for Zhuge Liang to know Ma Teng in detail, Liu Bei also knows Ma Teng quite well.According to Liu Bei, Ma Teng may seem rough, but he is actually a scheming person. If there is no great interest involved, he may not easily turn against Cao Cao.

According to Liu Bei's description, Zhuge Liang roughly thought of a plan to lure Ma Teng to attack Cao.In order to ensure the success of the plan, Zhuge Liang sent Yiji to Dong Cheng's mansion in Xuchang to state his interests to the other party, and finally succeeded in persuading Dong Cheng.

Dong Chengsui met the emperor and asked the emperor to order Ma Teng to attack Cao Cao. After the promise was completed, he would be worshiped as a general and duke Liang. autonomy.

Faced with such conditions, Ma Teng couldn't help but be moved. What an honor it is for the emperor to confer the duke himself!Although Yuan Shao also served as the Lord of Ye, at that time he proclaimed himself a rebellious minister and a traitor, which was completely different from the nature of the one conferred by the emperor himself.

In the land of Liangzhou, let me be self-governing, which made Ma Teng even more elated.Although all regions are now in a state of self-government by princes, and the imperial court is almost powerless to govern, it is definitely another level of satisfaction to be recognized by the emperor himself.

Under such generous conditions, Ma Teng was unable to refuse, and finally pulled all the capable soldiers from Liangzhou into the army, forming an army of 20 to attack Chang'an.

The emperor was very reluctant to grant Ma Teng the Duke of Liang and allow him Liangzhou to be autonomous.In the eyes of the emperor, the end of doing so can only be to shape Ma Teng into the next powerful minister, and a more harmful power minister than Cao Cao.It's just that Dong Cheng said to him that while Ma Teng raised his troops, Liu Bei and Sun Jian would also send troops to serve the king. After Cao Cao was eliminated at that time, with the intervention of these two forces, the emperor could completely set aside his promise to Ma Teng.Unless Ma Teng dared to rebel openly, under the simultaneous pressure of Liu Bei and Sun Jian, Ma Teng would only complain a few words at most, and would never dare to do anything radical.After receiving Dong Cheng's explanation, the emperor agreed to issue an edict.
