Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 534 Tsukatora's Conspiracy

Only people like Li Ru and Xiahoudun dared to think of such a strategy to forge a natural danger by diverting the water from the Yangtze River.What a huge project it is to divert water from the Yangtze River. Not to mention the waste of people and money, the key is that it is easy to cause turmoil within Qin.

Xi Zhicai frowned, and after thinking for a while, he proposed to Cao Cao: "Your Majesty, it is extremely difficult to divert the water from the Yangtze River. Although we now have sweet potatoes and other crops, and our army has plenty of food and grass, but if we go to war like this, I am afraid that if it is still difficult to resist the Jin State, it will cause civil strife within the Qin State."

Xi Zhicai is more stable, he is not easy to Li Ru's strategy this time.It is not always possible to draw salaries from the bottom of the pot, and diverting the water from the Yangtze River is no less than digging one's own grave.If it succeeds, let it go. If it fails, then there is no need for Jin to fight, Qin will perish by itself.

Cao Cao fell into deep thought. This matter is indeed worth pondering. If the diversion of the Yangtze River is successful, it can delay the state of Jin for ten years.At that time, Qin State will also be able to develop the population, and Qin State's strategy of fighting the time difference population war will completely fail.

"Your Majesty, if it is to divert the river, it is better to find an opportunity to raid Jiangxia! Jiangxia is the gateway to Jiangdong, and seizing Jiangdong is far better than spending manpower and material resources to change the direction of the river." Xi Zhicai weighed the consumption of national power between changing the river and raiding Wu. , thinking that it is better to attack the state of Wu than to change the rivers and rivers.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes. Naturally, he had already realized that he could attack Wu by force, but this was not a trivial matter.The Wu Guosun family has been entrenched in the Jiangdong area for many years, and it can be said that it is deeply rooted.Wanting to take Jiangdong from them is more than ten times more difficult than taking Chu from Liu Bei.

"It's not impossible to seize Jiangdong. It's just that Jiangdong... this matter will be discussed at another time, and I need to rest!" Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao felt a splitting headache. shorter.

Xiahoudun and others knew that Cao Cao had the upper hand, so they quickly resigned now and did not bother Cao Cao anymore.

Runan city
Zhang Liao was in charge of the Jin army in the south of Yuzhou and the northwest of Yangzhou to defend against Wu State Lumeng.The surprise attack on Hefei had been planned before, but Dangyang Pass was captured by Qin Sima Yi, which completely disrupted Zhang Liao's plan.

When Yang is conquered, Yuzhou will face Sima Yi's soldiers.Although Sima Yi's subordinates are not strong, if they are constantly harassed, it will become a big trouble.

"Gongtai, tell me that His Highness the Crown Prince gave up Dangyang Chengguan for the mere remains of Liu Guanzhang. What should we do?" Zhang Liao complained, but he dared to say that in front of Gao Shun and Chen Gong. , dare not be so careless in front of other people.

If you dare to complain about His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin on the territory of Jin, even if His Royal Highness doesn't care about it, other people will definitely scold you to death.

Chen Gong rubbed his chin, sighed, and said, "Dangyang Pass, this is a strategically important place. It borders Jiangxia's jurisdiction to the east, and can raid half of Yuzhou to the north. If Sima Yi had cavalry, he could even go far Harassment to our Runan side, which is really not good for us to use Hefei."

Gao Shun listened quietly to the discussion between Chen Gong and Zhang Liao, he was usually seldom talkative, so he didn't comment now.In Gao Shun's view, what Han Wu did made sense, since he is now a soldier of Jin, he must obey the general's order.

"Hey! If Sima Yi conquered Dangyang Pass, we can still take it back. Now His Royal Highness has exchanged the fertile soil south of Dangyang Pass for the remains of Liu, Guan and Zhang. This... This makes us have no excuse to send troops to Dangyang Lu Meng used his troops strangely, and if he wants to take Hefei, it will be even more difficult." Zhang Liao lowered his head helplessly, although he has a lot of troops now, it is indeed very difficult to defeat Lu Meng.

Just when Zhang Liao was about to discuss how to raid Hefei, the scout chief rushed in from the outside and knelt down on one knee to report: "General, something is wrong! Sima Yi led [-] elite soldiers into Yuzhou, and is currently preparing to raid Runan North close!"

Hearing this information, Zhang Liao was shocked, and suddenly got up and prepared the weapons to rescue Runan Beiguan.

Chen Gong pondered for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and said, "General Zhang Liao, wait a minute! This Sima Yi just took down Dangyang City Pass, how could he lead his troops north immediately? And with [-] infantry, even if he takes down Runan and North Pass, he can How? At that time when our army marched north, and another large army attacked Runan Beiguan from the north, wouldn't Sima Yi throw himself into a trap?"

The more obvious plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, Chen Gong could see it at a glance.However, Chen Gong was also a little puzzled. This Sima Yi was the one that His Royal Highness was wary of. How could he use such a simple trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain?

Zhang Liao immediately calmed down. He had cooperated with Chen Gong for so many years, and he already trusted Chen Gong's strategy.

Gao Shun still kept silent, he was not good at expressing himself, he only knew that he had to prepare fortifications.

Zhang Liao took a deep breath, thought carefully, and said, "Eight thousand elites, Sima Yi can at most conquer the small county town near Runan, even if Lu Meng sends troops, what can I do? Is it possible that Sima Yi has a second hand to lure the tiger away from the mountain? "

Thinking along Sima Yi's strategy, Zhang Liao and Chen Gong couldn't think of Sima Yi's other strategies.

Chen Gong lowered his head and began to write a letter to the imperial court. At the same time, he said: "This Sima Yi should not be underestimated, and it is better to be cautious. A counselor who can make His Royal Highness be wary, and make bloodthirsty tiger guards lose most of them in Chengdu, I ask myself. Can't compare. Let the imperial court send a large army to support, at least to guard the Runan Beiguan and Nanguan to ensure the retreat of the Runan army."

Chen Gong did not dare to underestimate Sima Yi in the slightest. This man is definitely a black horse military adviser in Qin State, and he is only gradually showing his prominence now.

Zhang Liao also began to carefully analyze the map of the Runan area, and said: "Since Sima Yi is going to invade Runan, we might as well use the trick and come up with a trick to close the door and beat the dog! If he wants to divert the tiger away from the mountain, let's pretend to be in the trap. Let my son Zhang Hu Lead troops to Runan Beiguan, let Sima Yi mistakenly think that I have been tricked!"

Chen Gong nodded, this strategy is indeed the most perfect one so far.But he and Zhang Liao could both think about it, and Chen Gong believed that Sima Yi must have expected it too.

After a while, Chen Gong read the memorial letter, sealed it and said: "Wen Yuan, it's time to start changing the name of your son Zhang Hu. The child of His Royal Highness, the tiger roars in the mountains and rivers, and the world is ambitious. These words, it is best to have To be taboo, no one knows who will be the King of Jin in the future, after Jin is unified, the King of Jin will be the emperor. Although this matter is not urgent now, it is better to make a statement after all."

Zhang Liao nodded. Chen Gong's reminder was not groundless. His Royal Highness's eldest son, Han Hu, was indeed the best candidate to inherit the throne and even the throne in the future.
