"Wu Wang praised it!"
Cao Cao chuckled, and then his tone became heavy, and he said: "Although our army is elite, the Gan army is not weaker than our army, and its strength is far superior to our army. I wonder if your coalition army can stop the Gan army from going south this time. !"
Sun Ce didn't speak boldly, but said: "It's up to people, no matter what, you have to fight to know."
Cao Cao nodded, and suddenly said: "Wu Wangshi is a hero, Cao has a daughter who can match Wu Wang, I don't know what Wu Wang wants?"
"This……"
Such a character as Sun Ce, after thinking about it for a while, he understood Cao Cao's intentions.
This is to tie the two families firmly together through marriage and form a solid alliance to resist Luo Zheng.
Sun Ce understands better that with the current situation, only by forming a solid alliance can it be possible to resist Luo Zheng's southward movement, otherwise, if they still have their own ghosts and fight on their own, they will be defeated by Luo Zheng sooner or later.
Sun Ce was very much in favor of the marriage, but it was impossible for him to marry Cao Cao's daughter.
He became Cao Cao's son-in-law for no reason, and he was a generation shorter than Cao Cao. There is no such reason.
Sun Zhizhi pondered for a while, and then said: "My brother Sun Quan also has talents, and he can match Duke Cao's daughter!"
What kind of person Cao Cao is, how can he not know Sun Ce's thoughts, but Sun Ce was able to make his younger brother Sun Quan marry his daughter, and he still had the sincerity of the marriage. Send to Jiangdong to get married!"
Sun Ce nodded, and the marriage was settled.
That night, Cao Cao held a grand banquet and warmly entertained Sun Ce and the officials of the Eastern Wu Dynasty.
When the banquet was over and Sun Ce and the ministers of the Eastern Wu were sent to the pavilion, Cao Cao frowned.
Cheng Yu said worriedly: "My lord, even if Sun Ce intends to get married and is willing to send troops to invade the country to help, I am afraid that it will be difficult to prevent Luo from conquering hundreds of thousands of troops. Besides, Sun Ce's foundation is in Jiangdong. If the battle is not good, he can retreat to Jiangdong at any time. If we defend by the river, if our army loses Huainan, the world will be big, but there will be no room for us, so we need to plan early!"
Cao Cao sighed: "Gu Ye is worried about this, but it's hard to show it during the banquet!"
Xun You said: "Can our army retreat to Jiangdong?"
Cheng Yu shook his head and said: "It is estimated that it will be very difficult. Soochow has a natural danger along the Yangtze River to defend. It only needs to blockade Jiangdong with a navy, and Luo Zheng's army of one million cannot cross the river. .”
Cao Cao also said: "What Zhongde said is true!"
Xun You sighed and said, "How about going to Jingzhou?"
Cheng Yu also had the same idea, saying: "Liu Qi from Jingzhou is a cowardly person, and the power is falling aside. Liu Bei also has ambitions. My lord can send an envoy to discuss with Liu Bei. If Huainan can't be guarded, I can borrow Jiangxia to live temporarily. Presumably Liu Bei will not refuse. .”
Cao Cao said: "Shan, according to Zhongde's opinion, let Ziyang go for a trip!"
At the end of October, when Luo Zheng led [-] cavalry to Shouchun, a cold current blew from the north. Within a few days, the temperature on both sides of the Huaihe River dropped sharply. Overnight, the earth seemed to be covered with a layer of silver makeup.
Heavy snow blocked the roads and made it impossible to advance troops, so the dry army had to stick to the villages and wait for the winter to pass.
Xun Yu and Zhuge Liang mobilized a batch of winter clothes from Guanzhong, Liangzhou, Shuozhou and other places and sent them to the army to protect the soldiers from the cold.
In recent years, Luo Zheng has conquered east and west, wiped out hundreds of nomadic tribes, and robbed countless cows and sheepskins, and the increasingly prosperous handicraft workshops in Guanzhong have further enriched the supplies under Luo Zheng's rule.
Hundreds of thousands of troops spend the winter on the north bank of the Huai River, and the rations consumed are astronomical.
According to the daily military rations of 60 shi, the monthly rations of [-] troops would cost more than [-] shi.
This is just food, not counting other meat, beans, vegetables, etc., just to support the logistics of the [-]-strong army, no less than [-] civilians have been recruited, and they have been transporting military rations and various materials throughout the winter.
Fortunately, Luo Zheng has now flattened the Central Plains and Hebei. The population of Guanzhong, Liangzhou and other places has also increased very rapidly in recent years. The total population under his rule is no less than 2000 million. Otherwise, it is really impossible to guarantee the logistics of a 60 army.
Ruyin, Luo Zheng's tent.
"See your lord!"
Zhang Liao rushed into the army tent and saluted Luo Zheng.
"Wen Yuan is free!"
Luo Zheng stepped forward to help Zhang Liao, took a closer look, and said happily: "These years, Wenyuan has been sitting in Anfengjin, and he has been guarding the border alone, so that Sun Ce dare not invade my Central Plains. It is really hard work!"
Zhang Liao's heart became hot, and he said loudly: "My lord entrusts me with a heavy responsibility, and the general will only repay it with all my heart and soul!"
"Ha ha!"
Luo Zheng laughed, pulled Zhang Liao to the seat, and then returned to the main seat, saying: "There is no need to be stunned, the lonely king wants Wen Yuan to beg Jingyang for the lonely, how can he be stunned now."
All the generals laughed, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic for a while.
Luo Zheng asked again, "Is there no problem with An Fengjin's guard?"
Zhang Liao replied: "Don't worry, my lord, the final arrangements have been made, so please forgive me."
Luo Zheng just nodded, and asked Jia Xu, "Where is the Gan Ning navy, where is it now?"
Jia Xu replied: "I have gone south along the Yingshui River, and I can reach Anfengjin in three days."
Luo Zhengdao: "Where is the Soochow Navy, have you ever gone north to Huai River?"
Cheng Ying replied: "I haven't found it yet!"
Luo Zheng frowned, but soon stretched out, and said in a deep voice: "It is necessary to settle the battalions and horses, and the allocation of various materials should be as equal as possible. Don't favor one or the other. If you don't have enough things, just ask Wen Ruo. The lonely king doesn't want to listen Until the soldiers have complaints!"
Jia Xu cupped her hands and said, "My lord, don't worry, Xu has made arrangements, there will be no problems."
Luo Zheng just nodded, Jia Xu personally arranged the matter, of course he was 120 rest assured.
Xiangyang, Liu Bei's official residence.
"Lord!"
Pang Tong hurried into the inner hall and bowed to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei raised his hands and said, "Scholar, take your seat!"
Pang Tong cupped his hands again, and then he entered the table sideways and sat opposite Xu Shu.
Liu Bei frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I invite Yuan Zhi and Shi Yuan to come here today, and I have something to discuss. Just now when Cao Cao's envoy came, they all said that Luo Zheng was powerful and might be difficult to resist. He wanted to take advantage of Jiangxia to live temporarily. , What do Yuan Zhi and Shi Yuan think?"
"This……"
Xu Shu frowned, his face revealing deep thought.
Pang Tong was eager to show off his talents, so he immediately said loudly: "My lord, I think I should borrow it!"
"Oh?"
Liu Bei said: "What's the best opinion of Shi Yuan?"
Pang Tongdao: "Now Luo Zheng is powerful, but my lord, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce are small. As the saying goes, cooperation will benefit both, and division will cause two harms. If Cao Cao is defeated, it will be even more difficult for lord and Sun Ce to resist Luo Zheng. Therefore, saving Cao Cao and others is like saving yourself." Er, this is one; the two Jiangxia Huang, Li and other tribes gathered together to be arrogant, and they are the master's elbows, so it is better to use Cao Cao to live temporarily, and they can also resist the army going south, and share the pressure on the master."
Liu Bei nodded again and again, then asked Xu Shu, "What does Yuan Zhi think?"
Xu Shu said: "I agree with Shi Yuan's suggestion, Cao Cao must be saved."
Liu Bei immediately said: "Since that's the case, tomorrow I will play the king of Chu."
