The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

But Zhou Yu immediately agreed.

It's not that he's stupid, but that there are benefits to be made.

Because Jingzhou's task is also to attack Jiaozhou, as long as it doesn't match Jingzhou's main force, Zhou Yu believes that there is no problem.

Cao Cao's two arrangements in a row were approved by the executors, and he was very proud.

Of course, Liu Yan was ignored directly.As long as Sun Ce sends troops to support the main force of Jiaozhou, Liu Yan, an old fox, will definitely send troops.

"Then, the third route is the coalition of Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei to attack Dongyang!" Cao Cao said loudly.

Embarrassingly, no one responded to him.

Tian Feng and Jian Yong just looked at him in a daze, as if looking at a fool.

Although the three coalition forces look mighty, but they have to face the main battle corps of the Yangzhou Army, and the risks involved are self-evident.

Tian Feng didn't agree, nor refused, and asked Cao Cao directly: "Then what is the leader doing? Watching a play?"

Cao Cao knew that if his answer did not satisfy them, they might part ways.

But he didn't panic at all, and said: "I set off from Runan County to attack Jiujiang County in Yangzhou, and then cooperate with you to attack Dongyang from the rear."

There is nothing wrong with this arrangement.

It's a pity that Runan is Yuan Shu's territory, and he is poorly ignored by everyone.Everyone believed that Yuan Shu would immediately change his position if Cao Cao's army directly pressed forward.

"After the victory, the wealth of Guangling belongs to you, and Dongyang City is up to you three families to claim." Cao Cao waved his hand.

Now, Tian Feng and Jian Yong are finally tempted.

The richest places in Yangzhou are concentrated in Guangling County and Dongyang City.

Jian Yong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "On behalf of the lord Liu Bei, I agree to this matter!"

Only Tian Feng was still fighting, saying: "Our army is only responsible for holding back the main force of Yangzhou, waiting for the arrival of the lord's army, and then proceed to a decisive battle."

Only then did Jian Yong realize that he was still too impulsive and too young!

Cao Cao thought for a while, and sure enough, Tian Feng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he is unwilling to suffer at all.

However, Cao Cao is not without gains. As long as Yangzhou is destroyed, he can not only get Runan, but also fight for the two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang, and then take the opportunity to seize Yuzhou.

Because at that time, everyone was busy carving up Yangzhou, and Sun Ce was the only threat in Yuzhou.

Of course, the premise is to defeat Dongyanghou!

"Okay." Cao Cao agreed to Tian Feng, but made another addition, "If the three of you can't put enough pressure on Yangzhou to let the Marquis of Dongyang divide his troops to defend Jiujiang, this matter is another matter."

Tian Feng also nodded in agreement.

Thus, the direction of attack was agreed upon.

Liu Yan and Sun Ce attacked Jiaozhou, and Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao attacked Yangzhou.

The princes of the six routes work together to destroy Dongyang Hou.

Just when Cao Cao was about to take off, Xi Zhicai said in his ear: "My lord, it is of course a good choice to divide the troops. I am afraid that the princes from all walks of life will slack off. This is a big taboo for military strategists."

Cao Cao finally came to his senses, thought deeply for a while, and said, "What if the princes retreat without reason?"

"Hit it together!" Everyone said in unison.

Cao Cao felt that this was not enough, so he negotiated a lot of conditions and asked the princes to send hostages.

At first, no one agreed to this kind of thing, but Cao Cao's attitude was very firm.

"Everyone, this is not a joke, but a matter of life and death," Cao Cao said.

"Yes, as long as everyone works together, advances and retreats together, and sends a hostage, so what?" Xi Zhicai echoed from the side.

"Don't you guys still believe in my character?" Cao Cao snorted coldly as an ultimatum.

In the end, all the messengers yielded.

"Everyone is an alliance, this is to avoid the worst situation, don't worry, the hostages will eat and drink well." Xi Zhicai reassured.

In this way, Cao Cao obtained the "right to withdraw troops".

In other words, no one can retreat without Cao Cao's order, otherwise it will be regarded as a betrayal of the alliance.

As for the consequences... Cao Cao couldn't think of a way to punish him.

You can only drown him with saliva.

The remarks at this time are still very lethal.After all, everyone cares about fame, especially scholars.

Even if Yuan Shaojiu occupied the magpie's nest, he found a legitimate reason.

……

The movements of the princes were sent back to Yangzhou by scouts in top-secret letters.

Xun You didn't have time, so he had to ask Guo Jia to report.

Liu Ke still attaches great importance to this matter.

Now that the princes have made this matter public, they will definitely start to act.However, gathering soldiers and horses is not a simple matter, and it must not be as efficient as Yangzhou, which gives Liu room to maneuver.
