Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 683

Bingzhou Jinyang.

In Han and Wu, when the two countries were close together.

Cao Cao also received the news that the Han State launched a conquest against the Wu State. Although he led a large army to Bingzhou to resist the invading Huns, it did not mean that he did not care about the affairs of the Central Plains.

With the grain and grass supported by the Han Dynasty.

He will be able to fight the Xiongnu without worrying about the future, without worrying about the food and grass within a few months. As for a few months later, there will be food and grass in his territory, which is enough for the army to fight.

What's more, he didn't intend to take such a long time to defeat the Huns' army. ,
After handing over the grain and grass with the Han army.

Cao Cao then divided the army into two parts.

Some of them were led by Xia Houyuan, together with several other generals, they headed towards Youzhou, joined Xiahou Dun, and resisted Karasuma's army.

Part of it was commanded by him himself, and fought against the Huns in Bingzhou.

now.

Cao Cao also led the army and arrived in Jinyang, and the Xiongnu army also knew that he was leading the army. They no longer scattered and burned, killed and looted everywhere, but gathered together and killed all the way from the clouds. This is also in line with his mind.

After all, the Huns are famous for their horse army. If they are scattered and want to wipe them out as soon as possible, it is not an easy task, but if they gather together.

There is a lot of room for manipulation.

In a head-to-head confrontation, he didn't think his army would be sent there, and he also had enough confidence to defeat the Huns army in Bingzhou.

Although he has no time to take care of things outside of Bingzhou now, he still couldn't help being moved when he received the news that Han State launched an expedition against Wu State. Facing such a situation, he couldn't take any action.

In the main account of the big camp.

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai sat opposite each other, drinking tea.

"Emperor Han played well!" Cao Cao sighed after taking a sip of tea.

Before, when he heard that Liu Qi transferred the soldiers and horses from the Shouchun Land, he felt that Liu Qi would have a plan, but he didn't expect to push the Wu Kingdom to the hostile side of the people of the Central Plains.

Even if you know it's a plan,

However, it is a fact that Wu Guo moved first, an undeniable fact.

Coupled with the current situation, even if Sun Quan didn't have that thought, and Liu Qi pinned the crime on Sun Quan, no one would think it was a mistake.

"Indeed!" Xi Zhicai nodded in agreement, and said, "I think that Emperor Han transferred the soldiers and horses from the land of Shouchun, and his original intention was to let Emperor Wu jump into the trap by himself. If you don’t want to, Emperor Han will place the blame on Emperor Wu.”

"However, even if Emperor Wu thought that it was a plan and seized the land of Shouchun without mobilizing troops, Emperor Han would never let go of such an opportunity, and would also launch a campaign against Wu."

"So, regardless of whether the State of Wu moves troops or not, the State of Han will definitely use their troops. But if the State of Wu does not move troops, then the State of Han will not find an excuse and fall into a disadvantageous situation. Let alone other places, even if it is the State of Wu The people in the territory will have strange thoughts!"

"Your Majesty, don't forget that our army has no time to take care of other things now, so the Han State will never worry about the problems in the rear, and can wholeheartedly conquer the land of Wu State, while the [-] Han troops on the border of Jizhou, It’s not just about delivering food, or just in case of accidents, it’s as simple as that, and there’s also the meaning of monitoring our army!”

He also expressed his thoughts.

After listening to Xi Zhicai's analysis.

Cao Cao nodded in agreement.

After all, Xi Zhicai was not wrong. According to the current situation, no matter whether Wu Guo seizes the land of Shouchun or not, Han Guo will definitely launch a crusade against Wu Guo in the end.

Thus provoking a war and taking the opportunity to seize the land of Wu.

It's just that if Wu Guo doesn't seize the land of Shouchun and takes the lead in mobilizing troops.

In that way, the state of Wu would not be on the side of injustice, nor would the local people have opinions. Even if Liu Qi started a war, he would not be on the side of justice and launch a conquest.

Things might change. ,
Can..

not to mention. ,
The invasion of the Xiongnu and Karasuma dragged the soldiers and horses of Wei State to Bingzhou and Youzhou, and there was no longer any threat to Han State.

thought here.

"If Han conquers Wu, the land of the Central Plains will no longer be able to resist the power of Han, and even our country cannot continue to resist the offensive of Emperor Han!" Cao Cao sighed.

A look of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

heard.

Xi Zhicai's eyes narrowed.

He also thought of the key point. If the Han State really captured the Wu State, then the southern part of the Central Plains would belong to the Han State.

The strength of the Han State will be further improved, and at that time, only the Wei State will be left in the Central Plains. It is indeed not an easy task to resist the mighty Han State.

As for whether the state of Wu can resist the state of Han.

at this time.

But it is still an uncertain thing. After all, when the two armies are at war, anything can happen.

However, the reality is that it is very unfavorable to Wu Guo. With an unrighteous name, this can affect many things.

"The general trend of the Han Dynasty has been established, and it is not easy to resist!" Xi Zhicai hesitated, and continued: "Your Majesty, maybe we still have a choice,...!"

Speaking of this, but don't say any more.

"Can I choose?" Cao Cao said with a wry smile.

He didn't know what choice Xi Zhicai was talking about, but in his heart, there seemed to be no such choice.

Although he regards Liu Qi as the strongest opponent, even if the princes were divided before, in his heart, only Liu Qi can become the opponent.

As for Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others, he didn't care too much.

But now it seems that once the Han Kingdom captures the Wu Kingdom, it will be difficult for him to fight against Liu Qi. Unfortunately, he has no choice now.

See Cao Cao's expression.

Xi Zhicai could only sigh inwardly.

He is also clear that there is no such choice, not to mention Cao Cao, even he himself would not choose that way.

After all, if they choose, then they are eternal sinners.

What's more, even if they are not afraid of being charged with crimes, can they pass the test in their hearts?

"There is no need to talk about this matter anymore, just order the spies to continue to inquire about Han and Wu, and the situation of the war between the two countries is fine, don't pay attention to it!"

Cao Cao waved his hand and continued: "The first thing to consider now is how to annihilate the Xiongnu who invaded Bingzhou!"

He knew that there was no use in thinking too much.

The first thing to consider is to deal with the matter in Bingzhou. If it can be resolved as soon as possible, then there is still a slight chance. ,

Xi Zhicai nodded in agreement.

The two discussed the countermeasures against the Xiongnu, and stopped talking about Han and Wu.
