Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 854 Cao Cao's Movement

Cao Cao knew about Wu Shun's attack on Wu State immediately, but he is not interested in participating in the war now, Lu State still needs time!
Without Cao Cao's will, none of the officials of Lu State dared to propose to participate in the war between Lu State and Wu State.

On this day, Cao Cao called a group of officials again to discuss countermeasures.Now that the two countries are at war, their Lu country should also be prepared.

Not all of the Wuling army was dispatched, only a part of them went.And I heard that Zhou Yu, the governor of Wu State, has been defeated for a while, and the Wuling army is going down the river, wantonly attacking and plundering the territory that originally belonged to Wu State.

"My Majesty, Wu and Shu are fighting along the Yangtze River, and the state of Wu is in decline. I think that we, the state of Lu, should send troops to help."

Xun You came out and said.

"Gongda, you also know that we lost the battle in Xuzhou and the morale of the army is low. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to send troops at this time." Cao Cao said.

In the previous series of battles in Xuzhou, they could be said to have swept all the way in the early stage, beating Wenpin so hard that he couldn't hold his head up, but Wu Shun arrived later, and the two battles destroyed their confidence, forcing Cao Cao to retire to fight.But not long after that, Wu Shun began to attack the state of Wu.

Cao Cao knew very well that if he didn't help, Sun Quan might not be able to stop the Wuling army's attack.But if he helps, isn't Wu Shun prepared?

According to reports from the spies sent by the State of Lu, Wu Shun left a large number of soldiers in Xuzhou, and Xu Shu was also there.

Xu Shu's name is now known to everyone, and the military and political talents of the Shu Kingdom are in Xuzhou, which worries Cao Cao a lot

He suspected that Xu Shu was deliberately left by Wu Shun to deal with him. If he sent troops to help Sun Quan, the Wuling Army in Xuzhou would enter his territory unceremoniously.

What Cao Cao thought of, his counselors of course also considered, but Wu Guo, they must help.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xun is right. If Wu is destroyed, it will be Lu's next turn. After Shu swallows Wu, its strength will rise sharply. By that time, Lu may not be able to resist."

Chen Yu said.

His worry was justified, Wu Shun destroyed the state of Wu, and he would definitely come to destroy their state of Lu.And at that time, their resistance will be in vain.

Starting with Xun You and Chen Yu, all the ministers of the State of Lu came out to ask for help from the State of Wu.Of course, there are also a small number of people who oppose sending troops, but the number is too small to make a big impact.

Help Quanquan and unite Wu State to fight against Shu State. This is the way out for Lu State. How could Cao Cao not know?

"Send troops to help? Do you know that Wu Shun and Sun Quan are fighting on the Yangtze River, and our Lu Kingdom has very few navy troops. How can we help?"

Cao Cao asked this question directly to the minister who wanted to help in the battle.

That's right, the Lu State only had those navy troops, and the rest were landlubbers. The Shu State and the Wu State were fighting on the water, so they couldn't join in the excitement.

The water army station was Cao Cao's heart disease. He didn't care much about it before, because most of the battles were on land, and the cavalry of the Shu Kingdom gave a huge impact. At that time, Cao Cao had to compete with Wu Shun. He vigorously built cavalry, so he formed a tiger and leopard to ride out.

It's just a pity that they still haven't been able to fight against the Wuling Army's personal guard battalion.

"Your Majesty, Shu and Wu are indeed competing for naval forces, and our Lu State navy is the weakest, so it will be of no avail if we go there," Xun You said truthfully.

"Yeah, there is nothing we can do to help the battle between the navy..."

There was a discussion in the hall immediately.

"Your Majesty, if the Kingdom of Shu wants to conquer the Kingdom of Wu, the navy can only open the way, and will eventually attack the city. The Kingdom of Wu needs help, but if we don't help, the Kingdom of Wu may not be able to avoid the danger of destroying the Kingdom this time." Xun You said again.

The two countries are indeed competing with the navy, but if Wu Shun wants to destroy Wu, only the navy can't do it.

"Since this is the case, send troops to support Wu and disperse the troops of Shu!"

Cao Cao heard the same reasoning. Instead of being defeated by everyone, it is better to unite and help each other.

Although Sun Quan is not a thing, let Cao Cao's pigeons go, but in the face of national affairs, Cao Cao has passed the age of willfulness.

"Gongda, Xu Shu, the counselor of the Kingdom of Shu, is guarding against our Kingdom of Lu in Xuzhou, what should we do?"

Cao Cao asked.

It's okay to help Wu, but you can't let yourself be attacked by the Wuling army, right?
"Your Majesty, you can send a large army to the border, and then withdraw secretly at night, repeating this, making it look like a large-scale deployment of troops to confront the Xuzhou Wuling Army..."

After Xun You said halfway, Cao Cao understood that on the side of the Wuling Army, he used a large army to repeatedly enter to create false appearances.In addition, he organized a large army to help Sun Quan.

"Gongda, just do as you want!" Cao Cao ordered.

Hearing that Cao Cao agreed with his suggestion, Xun You breathed a sigh of relief, but he was afraid that Cao Cao would disagree and sit back and watch the state of Wu perish.

After the ministers of the State of Lu agreed on a specific plan, with Xun You as the military adviser and Cao Cao personally leading the troops, they quietly went to the battlefield of the State of Wu, preparing to kill the Wuling army by surprise.

……

Cao Cao would help Sun Quan, Wu Shun had already expected it, but Cao Cao's movements were a bit slow, he had already repelled Zhou Yu, so Cao Cao was late.

After Zhou Yu retreated, Zhao Yun led his troops to directly occupy a large area. It can be said that he took back all the territory that was previously given to Sun Ce.

After the first few battleships, the Jiaolong Fleet or the Qilin Legion were ready, they went down the river and were going to find the Wu Guojun Division for a check-in.And Zhao Yun and Dongfangqiang followed closely on the shore, and when they encountered enemies, they immediately wiped them out.

There was not much resistance along the way, Wu Shun once thought that Zhou Yu had given up, thinking that he could fight all the way to Jianye.Don't mention how beautiful the mood is.

But in Jichun, the Wuling army was attacked again, also by Tiesuo Hengjiang.There are also a lot of soldiers hoarded on the shore.

Zhao Yun continued to fight on the shore, and the battle on the river continued.The Wuling army generally holds the upper hand. No matter what tricks Zhou Yu plays, they will definitely be repelled after a short stalemate!

The Jiaolong Fleet was advancing triumphantly, Zhao Yun encountered trouble on the shore at Qu’a, the army of the State of Lu arrived, and brought tiger and leopard cavalry!

Wu Guo came to help, and morale increased greatly. Zhou Yu immediately organized a counterattack. Jiang Shang would not gain an advantage for a while, but Zhao Yun had to be cautious on the shore because Lu Guo had cavalry participating in the battle.

After going back and forth, Gan Ning's water army and Zhao Yun's Qilin army opened up a little gap.The area of ​​contact with the enemy has expanded, and it is inevitable that the forces will be scattered when fighting.

In view of this, Wu Shun had no choice but to order the Jiaolong fleet to retreat and maintain the same offensive rhythm as the Qilin Army.

With the help of the State of Lu, Zhou Yu dispatched more soldiers. They stopped the Wuling army at Jichun outside their camp. If they couldn't do it, they had to retreat to other dangerous waters.

Sun Quan insisted on Cao Cao's assistance, and Wu Shun was not angry. He only needed to pass back the news of Cao Cao's arrival, and Xu Shu would rush in without hesitation, and then destroy it with all his strength...
