The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 500

"Prime Minister, don't get angry." Seeing Cao Cao getting angry, Cheng Yu hastily persuaded him. The current Cao Cao can't get angry, otherwise the brain disease will recur, and it will be dangerous.

"Father, why don't you take advantage of the emptiness in the east of the river and send troops across the river to attack it, forcing Sun Quan to retreat." Cao Pi, dressed in plain clothes, hurriedly offered advice to Cao Cao.

"Huh?" Cao Cao looked at the speaker and was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly put away his furious expression, and said dully: "It's a matter of military affairs, and you can talk nonsense, step back."

"promise!"

Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, Cao Pi shuddered, and hurriedly backed away, burying his head and not daring to overstep.

When the rest of the people saw this, they all looked at each other and remained silent. They were all smart people who knew that Cao Pi had violated Cao Cao's taboo. .

"Prime Minister, Yizhou's soldiers and horses are weak, and they attacked Hanzhong without success, and their morale is low. At this time, the southern barbarians are in chaos, and Sun Quan took the opportunity to enter. If there is no accident, Yizhou should fall into Sun Quan's hands." Xun You thought for a while, but still stood Come out and break the silence.

"If Sun Quan captures Yizhou, I will lose my way. Do you have a way to break it?" Cao Cao asked in a deep voice. You must know that Cao Cao has always regarded Yizhou as his own, and it is also his only way out. .

He took the risk of launching a war with Liu Bei because he wanted to win Yizhou. As long as Yizhou was won, he would have the qualifications to challenge Liu Bei. Unexpectedly, in order to cut off the connection between Liu Bei and Yizhou, he attacked Liangzhou and contained Liu Bei. When Liu Bei was in the army, Sun Quan broke his promise and left Liu Bei alone to take Yizhou.

"Prime Minister, Liu Zhang of Yizhou is the supreme son of heaven. Sun Quan attacked Yizhou as a traitor. Everyone can punish him. This move is unpopular." Cheng Yu said, "Besides, the terrain of Yizhou is dangerous and there are many barriers. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. , should not be taken lightly, although Sun Quan's troops entered Yizhou, it would be difficult to take Yizhou."

"At this time, the prime minister and Liu Bei have ceased their military service. The prime minister has hundreds of thousands of troops hoarding Jingzhou, Nanyang and other places, and can enter Yizhou at any time. Liu Bei's troops can also attack Jiangdong at any time. If Sun Quan does not withdraw from Yizhou at this time, he will surely Enemy from belly to back."

"The time, place, and people are harmonious, Jiangdong is lost, and Sun Quan's attack on Yizhou is useless."

Cheng Yu's analysis made Cao Cao nod slightly, and he was still very satisfied. As Cheng Yu said, although Sun Quan has the upper hand now, it is not so easy to capture Yizhou. Liu Zhang has been the leader of Yizhou for so long. Not ordinary people.

"Prime Minister, you may miss this golden opportunity." Xi Zhicai spoke suddenly, attracting everyone's attention. As Cao Cao's number one counselor, he spoke a lot, but once he spoke, he would surely come up with a trick.

"What's the clever plan of Zhicai, come quickly!" Cao Cao regained his spirits when he heard this. It was captured by Cao Cao a long time ago, and Chen Ziming had nothing to do with it.

In this failure, Chen Ziming did not expect such a move at all. In the end, it was Chen Ziming's tricky plan that completely exceeded the expectations of Cao Cao and others, Xi Zhi was not responsible.

"Prime Minister, now that Yizhou is on fire, the southern barbarians are in chaos, and the Jiangdong army is approaching, Liu Zhang will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating, and Sun Quan is powerful, and Yizhou's soldiers and horses will be hard to resist." Xi Zhicai said with a bright light in his eyes: "Liu Zhang will definitely be anxious, At this time, the prime minister announced the obituary to the world, announcing that Sun Quan had rebelled against the traitor, supported the emperor and vowed to resist Sun Quan to the death, and dispatched grain and grass soldiers to Yizhou to advance to the emperor."

"In this way, we can win Liu Zhang's trust, and then send people to spread rumors all over Yizhou, saying that Sun Quan intends to seek power and usurp the throne.

"At the same time, the prime minister sent a trustworthy person to Yizhou to win over important ministers in the court and speak out his benefits, and let him speak for the prime minister in front of Liu Zhang, so that Liu Zhang knew that the lord was loyal and willing to share the worries of the emperor."

After Xi Zhi finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while, Dong Zhao came out and said: "Mr. is a talented man, I am not as good as waiting. If you follow Mr.'s plan, the prime minister can take Yizhou without spending a single soldier."

"Of course." Xun You said, "There is an army from the east of the Yangtze River outside, and important officials inside are persuading. Liu Zhang is frightened and will definitely issue an edict to let the prime minister throw the army to quell the chaos. Then the prime minister's army can justifiably enter Yizhou."

"When the prime minister's army entered Yizhou, both Yizhou's soldiers and horses and Jiangdong were already wounded. Liu Zhang could only rely on the prime minister to save his life. Seeking good luck." Hua Yun's eyes lit up, and she began to plot the fruits of victory for Cao Cao.

Hua Yun's words, said Cao Cao's heart, although Hua Yun did not have a famous saying, but everyone understood the meaning, Cao Cao's army entered Yizhou, and what happened to Liu Zhang, I really thought Cao Cao would be loyal to Liu Zhang.

Once Cao Cao's army enters Yizhou, it also means that Yizhou has officially become Cao Cao's territory. As for Liu Zhang, the fate can be imagined. Of course, Cao Cao may not kill Liu Zhang. After all, Liu Zhang is the emperor who was pushed by Cao Cao, and Liu Zhang He is a clan member of the Han family, a descendant of the Han royal family who is more authentic than Liu Bei.

It's not that Cao Cao has never thought of becoming emperor, but he is not named Liu, so he still has a lot of scruples, but all of this is still early, at least he will not consider these until he enters Yizhou and imprisons Liu Zhang.

"According to the words of the master, you wait to do it quickly." Cao Cao's spirit flashed, this is a rare and great opportunity, taking control of Yizhou, maybe he can also become an emperor like Liu Bei, why should he Cao Cao is now inferior to Liu Bei.

"My lord, I don't want Sun Quan to enter Yizhou, and neither do Liu Bei. Now Hanzhong Liangzhou is also in Liu Bei's hands, and there are countless soldiers and horses. My lord, the soldiers and horses will not enter Yizhou. Liu Bei may only send troops to attack Yangzhou. , forcing Sun Quan to retreat."

"But Liu Bei will definitely not sit idly by when the lord's troops move. He will definitely send troops from Hanzhong and Liangzhou to Yizhou, and even send large troops to attack Yanzhou and other places to contain the lord. This matter must be guarded against."

Xi Zhicai's words were like a basin of cold water poured on everyone's heads. At this time, Cao Cao's face was fangs. Whenever Liu Bei was mentioned, Cao Cao became angry. After all, his son and general died at the hands of Liu Bei's soldiers.

But Cao Cao has no choice, who is stronger? Cao Cao has to admit that he is not Liu Bei's opponent now, and he also agrees with Xi Zhicai's analysis. Liu Bei will never watch Cao Cao enter Yizhou , will definitely send troops to intervene.

"Prime Minister, although Liu Bei has many soldiers and horses, his food and grass are still insufficient, and it is still in short supply. It will be difficult to mobilize a large army to attack. If the prime minister enters Yizhou, although Liu Bei will send troops to contain him, there must not be many." Xun You thought carefully and felt that Cao Cao still has hope of taking control of Yizhou.
