Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 677

Sun Quan still clearly remembers that when Cao Cao's army went south, Zhou Cang took advantage of both sides, and stole the tea trade and Lu Xun from him. Afterwards, he realized that the huge profits of the tea trade were really outrageous, and Lu Xun's talent was close to that of Zhou Gongjin. There is a three-year monopoly period, but it's time for Lu Xun to be called back.The reason why he gave up on Lu Xun back then was that Lu Xun's youthful talent did not show up, so it didn't matter whether he had it or not; the second was that Lu Xun was Sun Ce's son-in-law, and he had not yet become famous in Jiangdong, so he had concerns. After his death, Jiangdong Wenwu had lost all his cronies and minions, and his position was as stable as Mount Tai.

Let Zhou Cang fight Cao Cao, the more fierce the fight, the better, Xu Huang will inevitably borrow the way from himself, Cao Cao borrowed the way to pay for Hefei, Zhou Cang naturally can't talk in vain by borrowing the way.Sun Quan had already made up his mind that he would ask Zhou Cang for Lu Xun when the time came. Lu Xun was originally from Wu, but also Sun Ce's son-in-law, his own brother-in-law, what's wrong with my brother-in-law asking for a brother-in-law?What reason does Zhou Cang have to stop him?

Another general was added, and the more Sun Quan thought about it, the happier he was. He even thought that in the future, Lu Xun and Lu Meng would be in charge of the northern front and the western front, so that the two could balance and prevent one from dominating.In this way, not only is Jiangdong impenetrable, but he can also look for opportunities to go north or west. How unhappy is Sun Quan.

On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Zhou Cang rushed back to Jinan from Jizhou, and explained the situation in the north to Lu Xun and Zhou Wen, as well as his own, Xu Shu, and Zhang Jai's inference that there must be a war with Cao Cao, and the place of the battle was most likely in the Shouchun area.

Lu Xun and Zhou Wen agreed with this, but Wang Can was sent to Jiangdong as an envoy, and Sun Quan refused to say that Wang Ling Zhou Wen was very worried about Sun Quan.

Zhou Cang rested in Jinan for two days, and handed over the Qingzhou defense line to Lu Xun and Zhuge Dan. On the 27th of the first month, Zhou Wen and Zhou Wen rushed to Xiapi. At this time, Xiapi was already crowded with people.Generals: Huang Zhong, Qu A, Wu Gang, Cao Xing, Deng Ai, Lu Qiling, Wu Gang and Deng Ai are both civil and military, with a total of 5000 infantry and [-] Qingqi.Liao Hua stationed troops in Pengcheng as a response, veteran Wu Anguo was stationed in Xuzhou as a logistics base, and Huang Xu was responsible for the supply of grain and grass materials.

Huang Zhong first explained the whole story of the battle of Fengyang in detail. Even though he was an enemy, Huang Zhong still praised Zhang Liao, calling Zhang Liao a general.Another survivor of the Yanmen Eight Generals, Cao Xing, was also extremely impressed by Zhang Liao, saying that Zhang Liao was not as good as Gao Shun in terms of military training, Lu Bu was not as brave as Lu Bu, and Chen Gong was not as good in strategy. Zhang Liao's love for soldiers has won the hearts of the soldiers.

Wu Gang will report on the survey of Fengyang. Zhang Liao's 5000 troops are stationed at key points, which are not only easy to defend but difficult to attack. The loss is bound to be heavy.However, Lu Qian and Li Dian stationed troops in Qiaojun, forming a corner with Zhang Liao. It is difficult to defeat Zhang Liao without breaking Qiaojun.

Because Hefei is in the hands of Sun Quan, it is also possible to get in touch with Shouchun from the south detour. Shouchun has nearly 4 people, and the food and grass can last for about three months. Therefore, the morale of the army is still stable. Xu Huang wrote back that Shouchun can defend at least three moon.

That is to say, the Shouchun problem will be resolved within three months.Zhou Cang looked at the map, his eyebrows twisted into twists.Zhang Liao's ability need not be said by others, Zhou Cang knew it very well, if it wasn't because he didn't have the surname Cao, if it wasn't because he wasn't the first member of Cao Cao's cavalry team, Zhang Liao would have become Cao Cao's number one general long ago.

Fengyang is difficult to obtain, Wu Gang's suggestion is very good, Fengyang cannot be broken without taking Qiaojun, the question is how to take Qiaojun?

Zhou Wen's mind was not on this. He suggested dispatching the Guangling navy to go west along the Yangtze River, take Hefei to the north, and attack Fengyang from the south and east. Even if it fails, Xu Huang can go south and return to Xuzhou by water.

The question is, this must go through Sun Quan's line of defense, whether Sun Quan will agree.The answer is naturally difficult, very difficult!

Why would Sun Quan take the risk of offending Cao Cao to make an excuse?Why did Sun Quan believe that Zhou Cang was just making excuses instead of plotting against Hefei?

Zhou Cang couldn't make a decision for a while, so he had to order the generals to step up their military training, send scouts to inquire about Cao Cao and Sun Quan's movements, and ordered Huang Xu to continue mobilizing food and grass.He also sent people to Shouchun to tell Xu Huang to be ready, and he might launch a war with Cao Cao at any time.

On the sixth day of February, Han Bao hurried back from Jianye to report that Lu Meng, the governor of Eastern Wu, had gone to Hefei.The next day Buzhi arrived at Xiapi. He first congratulated Zhou Cang on his acquisition of Bingzhou, then told Wu Lord Sun Quan that he wanted Zhou Cang to become king, and finally revealed that Cao Cao wanted to send troops to Shouchun.On the same day, the spies reported that Cao Cao's army set out from Chendu, and it was estimated that it would reach Qiaojun within two days at most.

Zhou Cang urgently called a meeting. "Sun Quan is no longer trustworthy! He persuaded me to become king at this time with ulterior motives."

Deng Ai smiled and said: "He told Cao Cao that he wanted to win Shouchun. He wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, so as to make a profit from it. In my opinion, before Cao Cao and I decided the outcome, Sun Quan must There will be no action."

Zhou Wen's strategy of borrowing the Tao came to nothing, and Wu Gang's plan to take Qiaojun first also came to nothing because of Cao Cao's arrival.Now the decisive battlefield between the two armies is the question of Qiaojun or Huainan. Anyway, Cao Cao can't be killed.

If you choose Qiao County, if you can't defeat Cao Cao within three months, then Xu Huang is still in danger.Neither Zhou Cang nor Zhou Wen has this confidence, so there is only one option left: use heavy troops to contain Cao Cao in Qiaojun, and attack Fengyang by force.

There is another method that is not a solution. Zhang Jaw attacked Cao Zhang in Bingzhou, Lu Xun attacked Cao Zhen in Qingzhou, and Zhou Cao went to war.The old guy Zhou Wen had this plan in mind, and Deng Ai was very interested in it.

Zhou Cang couldn't help shaking his head. "Now is not the time. This strategy is certainly feasible. I can think of it, and Cao Cao will think of it. He must be prepared. But the second thing is that I fight with Cao Cao, and the only ones who can take advantage are Sun Quan and Liu Bei. When Cao Cao and I are both defeated , They swung their troops northward, who can stop them? Cao Cao dared to fight me because of this."

Zhou Wen twirled the few strands of beard that had been born. "Actually, it's not difficult... I have a plan to break it!"

Wu Gang laughed: "Does Mr. Yuan Fang want to have a belly blossom?"

"Hmm~" Zhou Wen nodded and looked at Wu Gang, a child can be taught. "My lord, please see, if my army is stationed on the front line of Fengyang, Cao Cao will think that I want to capture Fengyang, and he will prevent Gongming from abandoning Shouchun and going eastward with all his strength. In this way, Cao's army will be attracted to Qiaojun and Huainan. "

"Not bad." Zhou Cang nodded.

"Could Mr. Yuan Fang mean that Gong Ming did the opposite?" Deng Ai slapped his forehead suddenly, and then murmured, "If this is the case, wouldn't General Gong Ming be in danger?"
