The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 291 Cao Cao's Conspiracy
Chapter [-] Cao Cao’s Conspiracy
"Ziming, Zilong and Wenyuan led the army to go north, Zangba and Pan Zhang led the army to replace Zilong and Wenyuan's defense area, Li Yan returned to Jizhou to continue to monitor Wuheng and other clans, General Huang Zhong was in Bingzhou, Taishi Ziyi was in Hedong, Chen Dao sits in Linzi, Zhang Ji sits in Langya, Zhang Ja sits in Peijun, and Gongming leads Xiapi troops south to Yangzhou."

"The army has eleven legions and 110 million troops, which can ensure that our territory is safe. Now that I own half of the country, the general trend has been achieved. Can I unify the Central Plains in one go?"

After discussing the arrangements for the war in the north, Liu Bei and Chen Ziming walked slowly in the corridors of the palace, admiring the beautiful scenery on both sides, while discussing future development. Liu Bei would ask Chen Ziming about the big strategy.

Since Chen Ziming followed Liu Bei, every time he formulated strategic goals, he achieved them one by one. He entered Qingzhou, annexed Xuzhou, established a navy, landed in Fuzhou, occupied Youzhou, wiped out the northern tribes, and then entered Jizhou and Bingzhou. Every step was so perfect. In just ten years, Liu Bei was able to control half of the world.

What Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Sun Ce, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, and Ma Teng are not a little bit worse than Liu Bei. Now Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Liu Zhang can only fight Liu Bei if they join forces.

As for the remaining Liu Biao and Ma Teng, they will be eliminated soon. It is hard to say whether Liu Biao can survive the current difficulties. Even if Liu Biao blocks the attack of Cao Cao and Sun Ce this time, will he still be like this next time? ability.

When Ma Teng entered Luoyang, Chen Ziming announced that Ma Teng was eliminated. As Chen Ziming said, Ma Teng entered Luoyang and was completely controlled by Cao Cao. For various reasons, Ma Teng was not allowed to leave.

Liu Bei is now full of pride, with millions of soldiers in his hands. It can be said that he has enough soldiers and food, counselors like clouds, and fierce generals like rain.

"Brother, I'm afraid the time has not come yet. This time the Xiongnu invaded, and Cao Cao was among them. Originally, I thought that after my brother unified the Central Plains, I would use all the power of the whole country to completely eliminate all ethnic groups in the northern grasslands and bring them into the territory of the Han Dynasty. .

But now that the Huns have 20 soldiers and horses coming to invade, it can be said that they have come out in full force, and there must be a perfect plan. If the Huns' army joins Cao Cao, it may bring a lot of trouble to Hedong and Bingzhou.

But I think that Cao Cao's plan is not in Hedong and Bingzhou. Although Cao Cao and the Xiongnu army came together, they can pose a certain threat to Hedong and other places, but they will never hurt our army.

Therefore, Cao Cao should not do such useless things. If my guess is correct, Cao Cao's plan is either Hanzhong or Liangzhou.

There is Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, with [-] soldiers, the city is high and the walls are strong, and it cannot be easily taken down. Only Liangzhou, Ma Teng died, and the dragons in Liangzhou have no leader, Cao Cao can take advantage of the chaos to seize it. "

Chen Ziming looked to the north and mourned for the Huns for three seconds. It seemed that the Huns were blocked by Cao Cao. If all the 20 elite soldiers were left in Bingzhou, the Huns would be seriously injured.

"Well, not bad." Liu Bei nodded slightly after listening to Chen Ziming's words, "Cao Cao is a man of great talent and unique strategic vision. He has spent so much effort and will never do such a useless thing. If his plan is in Liangzhou, it is justified. "

"Ziming, if Cao Cao plots Liangzhou, what should I do? Now Cao Cao is still strong. If we allow him to acquire Liangzhou and use Liangzhou war horses to build a Xiliang iron cavalry, it may not be good for us to unify the Central Plains in the future." Liu Bei's head suddenly remembered the incomparable Xiangguo back then.

Dong Zhuo relied on the extremely powerful Xiliang iron cavalry to hold the emperor hostage and look down on the princes of the world. If there were no civil strife, Dong Zhuo would have a place in the world today.

"Hehe, brother, don't worry, Liangzhou is not so easy to bully." Ma Chao, who had met several times in Linzi, suddenly appeared in Chen Ziming's head. , I wonder if I can give Chen Ziming a surprise now.

"Oh, Ziming meant that you don't want to send troops to contain Cao Cao and let him take Liangzhou?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Ziming suspiciously. According to Chen Ziming's original strategic plan, Silizhou must be taken, and then Liangzhou.

But now Sili Prefecture was seized by Cao Cao taking advantage of the flood of the Yellow River, and now he has begun to plan for Liangzhou. It stands to reason that Chen Ziming should not allow Cao Cao to seize Liangzhou, but Liu Bei is puzzled by Chen Ziming's attitude now.

How should Chen Ziming respond to Liu Bei's words? He can't say that Ma Chao can defeat Cao Cao. He immediately grew up and said haha: "Brother, don't worry, even if Cao Cao kills Ma Teng, he will not be able to take control of Liangzhou in the short term. Although Liangzhou has more than ten Ma Teng can, but Ma Teng's son Ma Chao is not an idler, and Cao Cao underestimated Ma Chao's ability."

You must know that the tribes in Liangzhou are not so easy to bully. In order to survive, they tried every means to increase their strength. Once these tribes gathered together, their strength was very powerful.

Of course, Chen Ziming actually had a small thought in mind, that is to let Cao Cao take the lead, disintegrate the forces in Xiliang, and make them completely lose the power to resist, especially Ma Chao, a fierce tiger, Chen Ziming has been envious for a long time.

As long as Cao Cao defeats Ma Chao as he did in history, Ma Chao, who is like a bereaved dog, is the best to subdue.Moreover, Chen Ziming sent Zhao Yun's [-] troops northward not just to deal with the Xiongnu.

Although Liu Bei's territory does not border Liangzhou now, as long as Feng Ling is captured, don't lead an army from Feng Ling to Anding County in Liangzhou.As long as Cao Cao defeated the army of the alliance of various ministries in Liangzhou, Chen Ziming would send troops from Hedong under the pretext of Ma Teng's revenge, capture Feng Ling, enter Liangzhou, and drive Cao Cao out of Liangzhou.

At this time, in Luoyang, in Cao Cao's mansion, Cao Cao was discussing Liangzhou with his advisers.

"Ma Teng still refused to serve me. In order to cause civil strife in Liangzhou, he had to be killed with pain." Cao Cao sat at the head, apparently in a bad mood.

Originally according to Cao Cao's plan, as long as Ma Teng was recruited, Cao Cao could easily take Liangzhou, and then get Liangzhou's huge herd of war horses to form an iron cavalry that can compete with Liu Bei.

But Ma Teng's elm-headed head was unwilling to serve even if he died, which made Cao Cao furious. After the last attempt to persuade him to surrender failed, Cao Cao directly ordered Ma Teng to be killed, and sent someone to send Ma Teng's head back to Liangzhou so that the Liangzhou Alliance could be dismantled. .

"Prime Minister, although Ma Teng is dead, his son Ma Chao has great prestige in Liangzhou, so we must guard against it." Xi Zhicai did not agree that Cao Cao used Ma Teng's head to cause civil strife in Liangzhou, but Cao Cao had already done it, so he had no choice but to continue. Plan other ways for Cao Cao.
