Adou who can afford it

Xu Du, the court meeting is being held.

The imperial palace built by Cao Cao for Liu Xie, although it is not comparable to the palaces of Chang'an, Luoyang and other capitals, is also extremely luxurious, in order to make Liu Xie's residence feel at ease.

The ministers of civil and military affairs stood in columns, Cao Cao, as the prime minister, stood at the forefront of the civil ministers, and the front of the generals over there was Ma Teng, the commander of the guard, who was standing there trembling at this time, sweating like rain.

There were more than dozens of civil and military personnel in the Manchu Dynasty, and many official positions were vacant, not because Liu Xie didn't want to seal them, but because Cao Cao didn't let them.

"Your Majesty, Ma Chao made chaos in Liangzhou, killed Liangzhou and assassinated Shi Weikang, and caused chaos in a state, his sins are difficult to atone, and the three clans should be destroyed. Cao Cao said loudly.

Ma Teng, who was standing over there, even though he had a lifetime of Rong Ma career, but now he was not in Liangzhou, but in this Xudu, he couldn't be domineering if he wanted to be majestic and domineering, and when he heard Cao Cao's words, Ma Teng immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty spares your life."

Liu Xie sat on the throne and looked at Ma Teng, he wanted to resist Cao Cao and spare Ma Teng, but he couldn't.

After a short period of hesitation, Cao Cao said again: "Please Your Majesty, Yima Chao Three Clans."

Liu Xie had already heard a hint of sternness from Cao Cao's tone, swallowed his saliva, Liu Xie no longer hesitated, and said in a trembling voice: "Good!"

Cao Cao smiled when he heard this, Ma Teng slumped to the ground, and shouted to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister spare life, Prime Minister spare life." "

Pull down!" Cao Cao said to the palace guards.

The three clans of Ma Teng in the city of Xu are also Ma Teng's family, the two sons, as well as Ma Teng's wife and concubine, and the wives and concubines of the two sons.

The heads were rolling, hundreds of people in the Weiwei Mansion were all killed, and no one went to collect the corpses in the capital, and finally the county took the corpses to the mass graves outside the city, and dug a pit to bury them.

Poor Ma Teng I was a hero, and finally became the food of wild dogs, which is really pitiful.

After killing Ma Teng, Liu Xie issued an edict allowing Cao Cao to visit the unknown and go to the palace with his sword in the future, such as the story of Xiao He, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

The situation in the northwest is not erosive, no matter how happy Ma Chao is, he is only in Liangzhou, and he does not dare to move an inch eastward, and since the battle of Tongguan, Liangzhou's strength has been greatly damaged, and the offensive and defensive situation of Xiahou Yuan in Chang'an has changed, Cao Cao is not worried about Ma Chao's situation, as long as Xiahou Yuan is in Chang'an, constantly devouring Liangzhou's strength, Ma Chao will eventually fail.

After going to Liangzhou to suffer a big trouble, Cao Cao was very relieved, and rarely drank a few glasses of wine regardless of his head disease.

Drinking with Cao Cao was Xiahoudun, Xiahoudun was a wine jar, and among Cao Cao's civil and military men, the amount of alcohol was one of the best.

When Cao Cao was already slightly drunk, Xiahoudun was still sitting there like no one else.

"Yuan Rang, you are good at drinking again. Cao Cao said.

"Mengde, drink less. Xiahoudun persuaded.

If you talk about Xiahou and Cao, who is closest to Cao Cao is Xiahou Dun, the two of them are commensurate with each other in private, and Cao Cao does not like to call himself the lord in private.

Cao Cao picked up his wine glass and didn't listen to persuasion: "I'm happy today, so drink a few more glasses, and Yuan will let you not spoil my fun."

Xiahoudun smiled bitterly and drank it all with Cao Cao.

"Meng De, Yuan Rang came with news from there, saying that Liu Bei took 10,000 people to garrison Jiameng Pass at the invitation of Liu Zhang, intending to exterminate Zhang Lu. Now that Jingzhou is empty, are we going south?" asked Xiahoudun.

Speaking of business, Cao Cao put away his hippie smile and said solemnly: "Liu Bei and Sun Quan have formed an alliance, Liu Bei still has tens of thousands of troops left in Jingzhou, and Yun Chang, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and others are still in Jingzhou, Jingzhou may be difficult to take."

"It's a pity that Yun Chang is not here. Xiahoudun sighed.

Recalling the old man, Cao Cao also showed pity on his face: "How can Liu Da'er make Yun Chang so desperate, if Yun Chang is under my hands, why not be displaced for half his life, I am afraid that he will already be a megatron."

Xiahoudun took a sullen sip of wine, when Guan Yu descended to Cao, Xiahoudun and Guan Yu had a deep friendship, and became a confidant, for the pearl of the old friend, he gave up the high-ranking official and did not want to go back to Liu Bei, but also felt a pity, unlike Cao Cao's incomprehension of Guan Yu, Xiahoudun understood what Guan Yu did at that time, but it was a pity.

"Now in Jingzhou, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the soldiers are wide, Yun Chang has help, stationed in Jiangling, we want to go south, we need to pull out the nail of Jiangling first. This time is different from Jingzhou when Liu Jingsheng died. The road to the south will be difficult, I want to kill Sun Quan, at that time Liu Bei was in Yizhou, Yun Chang was in Jingzhou, and he would definitely not send troops to save Sun Quan. Cao Cao said.

"Tomorrow to discuss the matter of conquest, this time I will do my best to conquer

Jiangdong in the south!" On the second day, Cao Cao summoned the civil and military forces and said that he had decided to go to Jiangdong.

Some agreed, others were surprised.

Liu Ye asked suspiciously: "Liu Bei is in Yizhou, why do you want to take Jiangdong instead of Jingzhou at this time?" Jiangdong Sun Quan has worked hard to govern the country, and the people's hearts have been attached, and it is already a difficult place to attack, so why is this to take Jiangdong and abandon Jingzhou at this time?"

Flattening Wu Hui, Liu Bei is lonely, and it must be broken!" Liu

Ye suddenly bowed to Dong Zhao.

"My lord, if you go south to attack Jingzhou, Sun Quan will definitely not come to Jingzhou's aid. Liu Bei took Jiaozhou, and there was already a gap between Jiangdong and Jingzhou. Jia Xu reminded.

In Jia Xu's eyes, Liu Bei has always been a big trouble, and he has always proposed that Cao Cao take Liu Bei first in the order of going south, and after taking Jingzhou, it will be easier to go down the river to take Jiangdong, but for various reasons, Cao Cao did not follow Jia Xu's strategic concept.

"Liu Bei is in Yizhou, Guan Yu is in Jiangling, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other tiger ministers are in Jingzhou, Jingzhou tens of thousands of soldiers, can go to Jingzhou in a short time? Liu Bei returned to Jingzhou to help, and it would not be just 10,000 soldiers and horses to bring back, but also Liu Zhang's assistance. At that time, Sun Quan came to the aid again, what should we do? Do we repeat the mistakes of Chibi again? Wen He has ever thought about it?" Cheng Yu has always been so rigid, and he has always spoken straightforwardly, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.

Jia Xu shook his head and said nothing, the strategy was right, and the tactics were none of his business.

"Wen Ruo, you sit in Xudu, dispatch grain, grass and ordnance, and Yuan lets you also sit in Xudu to deter the young people. The others went with me. Cao Cao clapped his hands and said.

Cao Cao gathered a large army here, and the news was transmitted to Jiangdong, and it was already half a month later.

Sun Quan was discussing the conquest of Shanyue at that time, and he also gathered a group of civil and military officials, and suddenly got an urgent report from Jiangbei, and Sun Quan had a bad feeling.

After reading the news sent by the scout, Sun Quan's face was about to be distorted, he pulled out his sword, and swept the bamboo slips, paper documents, and pen and ink placed on the desk to the ground.

"Cao Cao, this thief, don't go to fight Liu Bei, what are you going to do to beat me Jiangdong!

This sudden riot really frightened the courtiers who were discussing military affairs together, and everyone looked at each other.

Zhou Tai said angrily: "Then the Cao thief came and let him not go back, Chibi let him escape, this time he can't let him go again!"

The ministers were not as optimistic as the generals, and Zhang Zhao asked, "Lord, how many soldiers and horses has Cao Cao come?" "

Cao Cao is massing troops on a large scale, and it seems that there will be no less than 100,000. Sun Quan said with a pale face.

The crowd took a breath of cold air.

Sun Quan didn't care much about Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, what he cared about was that Cao Cao let Liu Bei not fight, and wanted to beat himself.

"Liu Bei helped Liu Zhang fight Zhang Lu in Yizhou, his mind was nothing more than wanting to take Yizhou, this was the best time for Cao Cao to take Jingzhou, but Cao Cao did not take Jingzhou, but wanted to fight me Jiangdong. Cao Cao and that Liu Xuande are not allies? want to swallow my Jiangdong?" Sun Quan said angrily.

This is to say angry words, and it is understandable that young people have a temperament that rushes to the point of irritability.

Sun Quan actually had the idea of planning Jingzhou for a long time in his heart, if Liu Bei's expedition to Zhang Lu failed, or if Yizhou failed, Sun Quan wanted to send troops to Jingzhou and take Jingzhou by surprise, as for the covenant or something, he didn't care at all, he thought that the real hero would not be bound by the rules and regulations of the covenant.

It's just that Cao Cao raised troops to the south, not to mention annexing Jingzhou, and now even the plan to conquer Shanyue has been disrupted.

Cao Cao is violent, Jiangdong may overturn if he is not careful, how can Sun Quan not be angry in this situation.

It's just that it's useless to be angry after all, and after a while, Sun Quan calmed down: "Don't discuss the conquest of Shanyue, just change it to how to resist Cao Cao's southward movement this time." Now the war with Shanyue is anxious, and a large number of troops cannot be deployed. Pass on my order to recruit young people from all over the country, and this time at least 70,000 troops are needed to resist Cao Cao.

"Grain, grass, and ordnance must also be requisitioned and manufactured at an accelerated pace, and Jingzhou will not come to the aid of this war with Cao Cao." Sun Quan said.

Gu Yong said: "Liu Bei will not send troops to help, but the lord must not send someone for help."

Sun Quan's eyes lit up: "Liu Bei refused this time, and I will have an excuse in the future." "

Let's let Zijing go. Sun Quan said to Lu Su.

Lu Su bowed down to receive the order, and at the end Sun Quan added: "Zijing, if Zhuge Liang says that he wants to be aided with materials, you must not agree, you tell him that what we want is soldiers and horses, and Jiangdong is not short of supplies." "

Sue, take the order. Lu Su said.

Everything else was arranged one by one, and the war machine in Koto began to kick in.

When Cao Cao dispatched his troops to the south, Liu Chan had just arrived in Jiameng for a month, and the news from Xu Du also made Liu Chan very happy.

"Now Sun Quan can't covet Jingzhou. "Although Skynet has not penetrated into various forces, the basic intelligence transmission point has been established, and it has taken nearly a month to send the news from Xu Du to Jiameng, and Skynet needs to be strengthened a lot in terms of the speed of message transmission.
