Sun Quan will not take Liu Bei in!

If it is to receive the power in Liu Bei's hands, he must be very happy.But take in Liu Bei?Sun Quan was unwilling to do the kind of thing that raised tigers.Thinking back when Tao Qian invited Liu Bei, he ended up giving Xuzhou to Liu Bei; Liu Biao accepted Liu Bei, but Jingzhou became torn apart all of a sudden.

This is a guy with great ambitions, and Sun Quan has to seriously consider it.

However, if he is allowed to take over Changsha County, Sun Quan is obliged...

You know, the two generations of the Sun family, father and son, have never stopped yearning for Jingzhou.Since Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, although he tried his best to restrain his ambitions, his ambitions for the nine counties of Jingxiang became more and more fierce.It's just that because of Cao Cao, Sun Quan didn't have a chance to do it.Now that Liu Bei sent Changsha County up, there is no doubt that there is a huge temptation for Sun Quan.With Changsha County, not only can he further expand his territory in Jingnan, but he can also let the Jiangdong water army run rampant across the river, and even extend to Yunmengze.

How could Sun Quan refuse such a huge temptation?

The strong man Liu Bei broke his wrist and gave way to Changsha.

To be honest, it is also a last resort choice.With the current situation, it is too difficult for him to gain a foothold in Jingzhou.Especially after the Wuxi Man belonged to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was allowed to control part of the power of the Wuling Mountain Man.Even though Liu Bei still has the Flying Headman in his hands to use, he is still under great restraint.

In this case, Liu Bei had no choice but to give up Changsha and go west to Bashu.

Perhaps, someone will ask!

Since Liu Bei's character is so bad, how could Liu Zhang agree to let Liu Bei enter Sichuan?
In fact, when Liu Zhang invited Liu Bei to Sichuan, there was also a fierce quarrel in Bashu.Many people did not agree to let Liu Bei enter Yizhou, but Liu Zhang decided to take Liu Bei in after careful consideration.

The situation in Chuanzhong is not optimistic.

With the flooding of all kinds of bad money, prices in Bashu soared, and there was a shortage of supplies.

Cao Peng's strategy for Yizhou is similar to the strategy of the United States in later generations.I spend money to buy various resources as reserves, and when your resources are scarce, I will be able to control most of the resources.

Xichuan, the Land of Abundance!
But if it is said that the material is rich, it is also relative.

Cao Peng continued to increase trade with Bashu through various caravans under the Hexi Chamber of Commerce.

At the same time, the northern currency was unified and the circulation of bad money was blocked.

This situation also caused the Xichuan currency to continue to depreciate. Even if Liu Zhang made adjustments at the beginning of the year, the effect was not very obvious.The most frightening thing is that the northern currency continues to infiltrate Xichuan.

It is not easy to create a beautifully made Jian'an heavy treasure.

Unless the government releases it uniformly, if the Jian'an Chongbao is cast privately, not to mention whether it can be well-made, but only the labor cost, I am afraid that it will exceed the value of the Jian'an Chongbao itself.In this way, Jian'an Chongbao gradually began to replace the Han five baht prevailing in Xichuan and became a hard currency.Even if Liu Zhang wanted to stop it, the corruption of the market made him helpless. He watched Xichuan's livelihood collapse.

Under such circumstances, Nanman, who originally had a good relationship with Liu Zhang, began to have commotion...

The four counties in Nanzhong are a place where Han people and aboriginal people live together.

Nanzhong tycoon Yongkai was ambitious, taking advantage of the chaos in Xichuan, he joined forces with the prefect of Cang, the native chief Gao Ding of Yueyi, Nanzhong tycoon Meng Huo and others, blatantly declaring that rejecting Liu Zhang's decree was tantamount to independence.

That Meng Huo is quite prestigious in Nanzhong.

Whether it is among the Han Chinese or among the indigenous people, it is very trustworthy.

At the beginning of the 13th year of Jian'an, Meng Huo secretly said that he was against the local aborigines, and the owner of the 36th cave in Nanzhong rebelled at the same time, calling himself the king and breaking away from Xichuan's jurisdiction.And under Meng Huo's instigation, he attacked again and again to test Liu Zhang's bottom line.

Under such circumstances, Xichuan faced a huge crisis.The corruption of the economy, the threat of the southern barbarians... Liu Zhang and his son have informed Xichuan for more than [-] years that a huge crisis has never been seen before.

People's hearts are floating, and prices are soaring!
Zhang Lu in Hanzhong was also eyeing him, trying to attack Xichuan.

Under internal and external troubles, Liu Zhang was unable to cope.Just at this time, Liu Bei also had a crisis.

So someone suggested to Liu Zhang: If Liu Bei can't live in Jingnan, why not let him enter Sichuan and station in Yuexi County to resist the southern barbarians?
When Yizhou was engaged in Huangquan, he persuaded Liu Zhang: "Liu Bei is a hero, and his ambition is not to be taken lightly. At the beginning, he was desperate, but Liu Biao took him in. But this person was in Jingzhou, but he bought people's hearts and won Liu Biao's important officials. , Chaotic. If not for this, how could Cao Cao capture Jingxiang without bloodshed?
If this person is invited to enter Sichuan today, I am afraid that Xichuan will be in danger.

The lord needs to think twice, although Xichuan is a bit chaotic, it is not unmanageable.At the beginning of the year, the lord ordered Liu Ba to take over the affairs of Xichuan. Although he did not make any achievements, he was more or less calm.

Under such circumstances, inviting Liu Bei to Sichuan is tantamount to leading wolves into the house, the lord must be careful. "

Huang Quan, courtesy name Gongheng, was born in Langzhong, Brazil.

In history, he served Liu Bei first, and then surrendered to Cao Wei, worshiping the general of chariots and cavalry.

At this time, Huang Quan was Liu Zhang's chief bookkeeper, so he naturally tried his best to persuade him to prevent Liu Bei from entering Sichuan.

After listening to Huang Quan's persuasion, Liu Zhang was moved!

That's right, Liu Bei's reputation is not very good. Wherever he goes, there will be chaos, which is really not reassuring.

Originally Liu Zhang had given up on this idea, but his son-in-law Fei Guan heard about it.

This Feiguan, whose name is Binbo, is from Jiangxia, Jingzhou.

This person has an extremely close relationship with Liu Zhang.Liu Zhang's mother was Fei Guan's clan aunt.Fei Guan came to Sichuan when he was young, and was favored by Liu Zhang, who married his daughter to Fei Guan.Therefore, although Fei Guan is from Jingzhou, he is quite prestigious in Xichuan, and is even favored by Liu Zhang.When Fei Guanzheng was young, not yet [-] years old, he usually lived in the state pastoral mansion with his wife.Liu Zhang came home that day with a sad face.

Fei Guan stepped forward to ask.

Liu Zhang told Fei Guan his idea, "Wu Yi said, you can invite Liu Bei to enter Sichuan to resist the Nanman.

But Huang Gongheng disagreed, thinking that Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan was like leading a wolf into a house.

I also know that Liu Bei has always been ambitious.But I have to admit that this person is really good at fighting.He defeated Cao Cao repeatedly, and it was not a crime of war, but his strength is not as good as others.If there is him guarding Nanzhong, I can have no worries. "

After hearing this, Fei Guan immediately expressed his opinion.

"Liu Bei is also a relative of the Han family, and he is of the same clan as my father-in-law.

Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, the father-in-law is Da Situ, so he should contact the clan of the Han Dynasty in order to restore the Han Dynasty in the future.

Liu Bei is now desperate.

If the father-in-law takes him in, he will be grateful.Besides, Nanzhong is desolate and cold, and most of them are indigenous barbarians.He was stationed in Nanzhong, and he did not have much influence with his father-in-law.The father-in-law only needs to block the main water and land throats, so that this person can be honest and dare not act rashly.In view of it, it is not a bad thing to let Liu Bei enter Sichuan now.

Huang Gongheng is from Xichuan.

Although he is talented, he often has regional views and rejects foreigners, making it difficult for Xi Chuan to let go of the past and embrace the new.In my opinion, he still has selfish motives.If Liu Bei enters Sichuan, I am afraid that his good deeds will be ruined. "

"is it?"

Liu Zhang was originally a soft-eared person.

Fei Guan is his son-in-law, and he is also a member of his mother's clan, so naturally he trusts Fei Guan more.

Under Fei Guan's persuasion, Liu Zhang finally agreed to invite Liu Bei to Sichuan.In order to avoid the opposition of Huang Quan and others, three days later, Liu Zhang suddenly ordered Huang Quan to be the head of Guanghan and transferred from Chengdu to take up the post.

Afterwards, Liu Zhang ordered Zhong Lang to send Wu Yi to Changsha to welcome Liu Bei into Sichuan.

At this time, Liu Bei ordered Ma Liang to go to Jiangdong to discuss matters.Sun Quan was very happy when he heard that Liu Bei was going to give up Changsha.After discussing with Ma Liang, Sun Quan decided to give Liu Bei three thousand soldiers and horses, as well as countless supplies and food.In return, Liu Bei gave up Changsha County, and when Cao Cao fell ill, Sun Quan quickly captured Linxiang.

But Liu Bei jumped out of Changsha County without anyone noticing it, and led his troops to join forces with Chen Dao in Youyang.

At the beginning of September in the 13th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao's navy and Jiangdong's navy clashed at Sanjiangkou.

Cai Mao, the governor of the navy, made a mistake in command, which caused heavy losses to the navy.The governor of the Jiangdong navy set fire to the warships of the Jingzhou navy and beheaded Zhang Yun, the deputy commander of the navy.Nearly one-third of the Jingzhou Navy was killed or injured...

The defeat of the navy is still a trivial matter!

The most important thing is that after this battle, the Jiangdong navy opened up the access to Yunmengze and ran across the river.

Cao Jun lost the cover of the navy, so he was naturally at a disadvantage.

Although Du Ji fought to regain Sanjiangkou later, but in terms of the overall situation, not much has changed.

When Cao Cao was ill, he was furious when he learned of the defeat of the navy.

He finally made up his mind to take back control of the navy.So he ordered Xu Huang to lead his troops to capture Cai Mao in the navy camp and escort him back to Xiangyang.At the same time, Cao Cao appointed Gan Ning, the prefect of Hefei, as the governor of the navy.

Who is Gan Ning?

The former Berkshire Jinfan thief.

However, he was born under Cao Peng's family and made great military exploits.

After Huang Chengyan arrived in Jingzhou, he immediately visited families in Jingzhou.After Huang Chengyan lobbied, Jingzhou people did not have much resistance to Gan Ning.First, Gan Ning is a native of Jingzhou, his ancestral home is Nanyang, and he went to Berkshire later.His qualifications are enough!In his three-year prefect career, he has accumulated countless military exploits.Such a person can also be regarded as one of Jingzhou's own people...

The second point is that Gan Ning was once a disciple of Cao Peng and belonged to Cao Peng.

Jingzhou people still have a good impression of Cao Peng.

Especially the Kuai family, the Pang family, including the Cai family, all recognized him very much, and naturally they would not come forward to stop him.

As for Huang Chengyan, he is a celebrity in Jingxiang, with a high reputation.

He lobbied and further paved the way for Gan Ning to take over the navy.In this way, it has become a foregone conclusion that Gan Ning will become the governor of the navy.Cao Cao then ordered Cao Ren to take over Hefei and succeed him as the prefect of Hefei.

Du Ji, the deputy governor of the Yuanshui Army, also came from Cao Peng's family.

For Gan Ning's arrival, it is impossible to have too much disgust...

Cao Cao also ordered Zhou Cang on Dongling Island to be the deputy governor of the navy and general Zhenhai to continue stationing on Dongling Island and drill the navy.

This General Zhenhai is a miscellaneous general who has never appeared before.

Cao Cao began to pay more attention to the navy. He knew that if he conquered Jiangdong in the future, the navy would become the main force.Without the assistance of a powerful navy, it is not an easy task to conquer Jiangdong.

Therefore, he specially assigned the post of General Zhenhai, which also reflects the importance he attaches to the navy...

However, at this time, Liu Bei sold Changsha County and Sun Quan took over Linxiang, which broke out.

The person who detonated this matter was still Liu Bei.

According to the agreement between Liu Bei and Sun Quan, it is better for both parties to conceal the news before Sun Quan fully controls Changsha.After all, it will take time for Sun Quan to dispatch troops from Jiangdong.Guiyang won it, but Sun Quan hadn't had time to fully digest it.It is indeed not easy to occupy Changsha County again.

Unexpectedly, when Sun Quan dispatched troops and generals, Liu Bei made a sudden move.

After making an agreement with Liu Zhang, in September of the 13th year of Jian'an, Liu Bei assembled a total of 1 elite soldiers and horses. With Zhang Fei as the vanguard and Lu Ji's deputy general, he led his troops to attack Yiling and broke through Cao's defense line...

Cao Jun is in a state of rest.

A large area of ​​unacceptable water and soil made Cao Jun unable to attack.

Le Jin was also adjusting his state, and he never thought that Liu Bei would suddenly exert his strength.

After defending Yiling for three days, Le Jin fled in embarrassment... Liu Bei took advantage of the situation and occupied Yiling.Make a surprise attack on Xiangyang.When Cao Cao heard the news, he sent Wenpin to help.No, at the foot of Huya Mountain, was ambushed by Cao Jun, and Wenpin died in battle!When the news came out, Jingzhou oscillated, and people in Xiangyang were panicked.

Xia Houdun, governor of Jingzhou, and Liu Xian, governor of Nanjun, hurriedly sent someone to ask Cao Cao for help.

Cao Cao was also shocked, and immediately ordered Xiahou Dun to recapture Yiling, and ordered Cao Chun, who was stationed in Wulin, to go to Yiling to rescue.The large-scale mobilization of Cao Jun made Jingzhou panic.But when Xiahou Dun dispatched troops and generals to recapture Yiling, Liu Bei suddenly led his troops to turn around and went straight to Zigui to seize Wu County.

Yiling, he gave up!
Xiahou Dun hit with all his strength, but it seemed to hit the air.

Xiahou Dun was so angry that he jumped into a rage, and immediately led his troops to pursue him, trying to wipe out Liu Bei in Wu County.But he didn't want Liu Bei, so he set up an ambush in Zigui.When Xiahoudun entered Zigui, Liu Bei set fire to Zigui, and Zhang Fei and Chen arrived in an ambush... The battle of Zigui almost killed Xiahoudun in the sea of ​​flames.Although he was rescued by the pro-army desperately, he couldn't afford to be ill and couldn't continue to take on important responsibilities.

In the first battle of Zigui, more than [-] Cao troops were killed or injured.

Xiahou Dun was sent back to Xudu for recuperation, and within a short time, he was unable to continue playing.

It was also Tony's sad reminder that he confronted Liu Bei three times, but all ended in disastrous defeats.The first time to encircle and suppress Runan, Liu Bei made a detour for thousands of miles, and he was confused about the direction; the second time he was in Nanyang, he was attacked by Liu Bei, captured Wancheng, and left in a disastrous defeat;Following the defeat of Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan entered Xiangyang to succeed Jingzhou Mu...

However, Liu Bei took this opportunity to withdraw from Jingzhou and enter Jiangguan.

Yizhou Zhonglang general Wu Yi and Bajun prefect Yan Yan led his troops to respond, and made a defensive posture in Yufu.

When things got to this point, Cao Cao finally came to his senses.

He was tricked by Liu Bei and Sun Quan!

Cao Cao was so angry that he even ignored his illness and weakness, and personally led Cao's army of [-] soldiers to Linxiang.

This Sun Quan is really too much...

The front foot just formed an alliance with me, and the back foot gave me a knife.I even gave you Guiyang County, and you got Changsha without any effort?This kind of thing must never happen.Therefore, Cao Cao couldn't restrain his anger, and despite the dissuasion of Xun Yu and Guo Jia, he wanted to attack Linxiang with all his strength, and then regained Guiyang.

Cao Cao ordered Jin Xuan, a native of Jingzhao, to be the forward, and general Xing Daorong to be the deputy general, and the troops came to Linxiang City.

Tai Shici, who had just been appointed as the prefect of Changsha, faced the attack of tens of thousands of troops, but he did not panic at all.At this time, Jiangdong soldiers and horses have not yet been deployed and controlled, and Linxiang's troops are not sufficient.But Tai Shici was not afraid. When Cao Jun arrived in Linxiang, Tai Shici led his troops to attack while Cao Jun's foothold was not stable.

He personally led 300 daredevils into the middle army of Cao Jun.

Jin Xuan rushed to the battle, and was shot dead by Tai Shici with an arrow; while Xing Daorong was entangled by Tai Shiheng and Dong Xi, and fought fiercely for more than ten rounds. win.

The Battle of Linxiang shocked Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao personally led the army and arrived in Linxiang, Tai Shici attacked again.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Tai Shici led three hundred daredevils to rush into Cao Jun's camp. He shot General Liu Du with his gun and shot General Han Xuan with an arrow. After burning Cao Jun's camp, he retreated calmly.Of the three hundred daredevils, no one was injured or injured.

Cao Cao was also shot in the shoulder by Tai Shici during the chaotic battle.

Fortunately, Dian Wei rescued him, otherwise he might be buried under the city of Linxiang...

The battle of Jingnan was indeed not a good place for Cao Cao.Since the start of the Battle of Jingnan, he lost troops and generals, and suffered heavy losses.

Knowing that the person who attacked the camp was Tai Shici, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel emotional: The person who competed with the little bully at the foot of Shenting Ridge has the same prestige as before.

In my heart, I actually cherished Tai Shici.

It's a pity, a pity, a hundred thousand troops are crowded in Linxiang.

And Jiangdong soldiers and horses also arrived in an endless stream.

After Tai Shici withstood Cao Cao's attack, Jiangdong reinforcements arrived in Jingnan.Sun Quan appointed Lu Xun as the prefect of Guiyang to ensure the smooth flow of grain roads for Tai Shici.At the same time, troops were drawn from Jiaozhou, and Yu Fan was appointed as a partial general to help Tai Shici's troops.

In just one month, the situation in Jingnan has changed so much that it is dizzying.

Cao Cao knew that it would be difficult to storm Changsha.

But seeing the fat in his mouth being snatched away by Sun Quan, Cao Cao was not reconciled.

In Jingnan, the two sides unexpectedly formed a short stalemate.

Cao Jun was dissatisfied with the climate and the morale was low... He wanted to take Changsha, but his strength was insufficient. Similarly, Jiangdong wanted to defeat Cao Cao. Although his morale was high, he was equally powerless and could only maintain a defensive posture.

Under such circumstances, Sun Quan sent Zhang Hong to start a diplomatic encounter with Cao Cao again...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"It seems that the prime minister will definitely withdraw his troops years ago."

In Xudu City, Jia Xu sighed.

Sitting opposite him, Cao Peng looked at the bustling traffic downstairs and Xudu Street, which was gradually recovering from anger, with a dignified expression on his face.

At this time, he and Jia Xu were drinking and chatting in the elegant house in Tianxialou.

After the killing and killing, the incident of beheading and rebellion gradually faded away, and Xu Du also started a normal life.

Although in the Xudu Daily, every now and then someone would jump out and scold Cao Peng.

But the words are no longer as fierce as before.

Cao Peng's pressure also decreased a lot.Especially after marriage, Cai Yan and Sun Shangxiang entered Cao's house, which also made Cao Peng's mood suddenly become more comfortable, and he always smiled when he saw everyone.

But who would have thought that there would be such a change in the war in Jingnan?

"Jia Dushe, we all underestimated Liu Bei."

Jia Xu nodded, and couldn't help laughing: "This Liu Bei is really good at tricks. Turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain, he actually reversed the situation in Jingnan. I used to think that this person is good at wooing people, and he has some tricks. But I don’t want to, he has such courage! Changsha, but Liu Bei’s last foundation. This guy actually said no, he didn’t want it, he broke his wrist with one hand, and put the lord in trouble.”

"I don't think it's necessarily Liu Bei's idea."

"Oh?"

Cao Peng pondered for a long time, then said softly: "The battle of Yiling and Zigui is said to be led by Liu Bei, I believe it.

This man has been a soldier all his life, and his ability to march and fight should not be underestimated.

However, I feel that the strong man's severed wrist may have been done by his mastermind, Zhuge Kongming. "

"Then Wollongong, villager Zhuge?"

Zhuge Liang has been attached to Liu Bei for a long time, but due to various reasons, his reputation is not particularly loud.During the trip to Jiangdong, although he debated the Confucianism, he did not get the desired result, which also made Zhuge Liang's talent unknown.But Cao Peng couldn't underestimate this guy!This is because of various reasons, Zhuge Liang did not show his glory.As long as he is given a chance, he will surely become a blockbuster.

For example, Liu Bei gave up Changsha this time, but in Cao Peng's view, there are very obvious traces of Zhuge Liang in it.

"A strong man broke his wrist, he couldn't help getting himself out of the matter, and let the prime minister and Sun Quan fall into the quagmire of Jingnan.

Villager?

Jia poisonous snake, I am also a villager!
If you underestimate Zhuge Kongming because of this, you may suffer a big loss.

Fortunately, he and Liu Bei have retreated into Xichuan, and their influence on the battle in Jingnan will not be too great.Otherwise, if he stays in Jingzhou, the result is hard to say... Jia Dushe, Jingnan should be calm soon. "

Jia Xu froze for a moment, then suddenly remembered that Cao Peng called himself Zhongyang Villager.

He smiled and didn't argue any further.

It's still hard to say what Zhuge Liang's abilities are.However, the war in Jingnan is likely to end here... It's a pity, if there is no such incident, Jingnan will be peaceful. After two or three years, when the prime minister fully integrates Jingxiang, he can go all out and take Jiangdong, and the world will be peaceful. . "

"Yes, it is indeed a pity."

Cao Peng couldn't help sighing quietly.

The appearance of this variable in Jingnan really caught Cao Peng by surprise.

Say Cao Cao can't fight?
That's bullshit...

In the same situation, if you were yourself, you would be more embarrassed than Cao Cao.

Only in this way, the unified pattern of the world may have to be delayed for a while!Sun Quan occupying Jingnan is equivalent to laying a knife in Jingzhou. God knows what changes will happen in the future?
And Liu Bei's entry into Xichuan also made Cao Peng feel a little threatened.

If this guy gets Xichuan, even if Xichuan's economy is corrupt now, he will still be a big threat!Cao Peng didn't think that with Liu Zhang's ability, he could deal with Liu Bei.It seems that Xi Chuan's plan is also time to close the net!
"By the way, I'm looking for you, Ah Fu, and I have one more thing to discuss."

"what's up?"

"Zhongde sent someone to contact me, intending to become the prime minister and king.

I don't know, what do you think? "

"what?"

Cao Peng was shocked when he heard this.

Please seal the throne for Cao Cao?
This is a big deal...

It is often said that the Three Kingdoms officially kicked off after the death of Cao Cao.But in fact, it was after Cao Cao became king that the Cao Wei Group really stepped onto the stage of history.However, although Cao Peng can't remember exactly what Cao Cao became king in history, he can be sure that it is not at this time.

Cheng Yu wants to be crowned the throne for Cao Cao...

Could it be that history really, has changed?
