The Invincible Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

This sentence made Liu Rui, Guo Jia and others even more puzzled, Liu Rui couldn't help but looked at Hua Tuo and asked, "The genius doctor went to the palace to go around, this will give you Did the Son of Heaven save his life?"

"That's right, but the Son of Heaven's condition has penetrated deep into the bone marrow. All the old man can do now is to prolong his life, but there is no way to eradicate it!" to regret.

However, Liu Rui, Guo Jia and others were overjoyed. As long as they could continue their lives, as long as they could leave more time for them, this was enough! , , .

However, what made Liu Rui, Guo Jia and others even more admired was Hua Tuo's medical skills, for which Hua Tuo felt a little ashamed.

"Uncle Huang, those imperial physicians actually know how to treat the emperor's illness, but if the emperor dies, they are afraid that they will be charged with crimes at that time, so some tiger-wolf medicines, although they know that they will be effective, they dare not use them!" Hua Tuo's words also made Liu Rui and others suddenly realize.

Emperor Liu Xie's condition has reached an irreversible level. Now, even Hua Tuo can only relieve his pain and delay the coming of death, but there is no way to cure it.

However, Liu Rui's purpose has also been achieved. With the emperor's edict and Hua Tuo's life extension, Liu Rui has enough time to arrange it. It is precisely because of this that this time Liu Rui is very interested in Hua Tuo and Yu Ji who helped him. People are all great rewards.

He ordered Hao Huatuo to take good care of the emperor Liu Xie in the palace, and also told Yu Ji to flicker from time to time. As a result, Liu Rui was now facing no obstacles at all.

"Fengxiao, now that the edict is in hand, Liu Xie has no worries about his life for the time being. What should we do next?"

"My lord, Jingzhou has been settled now. It only takes a period of time to stabilize before it can be completely stabilized." Guo Jia cupped his hands, and then smiled: "Now we really need to plan for the future!"

"Fengxiao, we beat both Liu Bei and Lu Bu last time. Xuzhou should be in a state of emptiness in defense now, which is a good opportunity to win, or should we send troops from Jingzhou to attack Xuzhou?" Liu Rui asked.

It's just that the words just fell, but they saw Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and Mei Changsu all shaking their heads in unison.This made Liu Rui a little strange, and he couldn't help but asked: "Now Xuzhou is the weakest, didn't he just take this opportunity to solve them?"

"My lord, it is absolutely impossible! It is precisely because Liu Bei and Lu Bu are seriously damaged, so there is no need to care about them!" Guo Jia quickly shook his head, paused, and said again: "Sun Ce and Cao Cao both have vast territory. If we attack Liu Bei and Lu Bu now, Cao Cao and Sun Ce will have some time to breathe."

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Liu Rui also nodded, this is the only way to understand why the three of them were against their ideas.

"Then let's go attack Sun Ce now. This time General Zhao Yun chased Sun Ce, but he also suffered a lot of damage!" Liu Rui thought for a moment, then said.

However, Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "My lord, Jiangdong is a long way to go. Our army has just returned from Jingzhou. If we go to attack Jiangdong now, I am afraid that it will take a lot of time just to mobilize troops and horses."

"What Kong Ming said is very true. Besides, the Jiangdong area is vast, even if it is an attack, I am afraid that there will be no way to completely attack it for a period of time. When our troops are scattered, I am afraid that it will give Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu an opportunity to take advantage of. !" Mei Changsu also cupped his hands.

Liu Rui was stunned for a moment. He was only interested in being happy today. He didn't think carefully about many of the issues here. Otherwise, with Liu Rui's wisdom, it would not be difficult to find out the problems.Qiankun Tingshu Network www.qktsw.com

"My lord, the two places in Gunzhou and Qingzhou occupied by Cao Cao's shrinking, although they were harassed by the Yellow Turbans in the past, are densely populated and were also prosperous at the beginning. If Cao Mengde is allowed to continue to develop, I am afraid that Xuzhou and Yuzhou will also be annexed by Cao Cao at that time. At that time, although we have more territory than Cao Cao, our territory is too scattered in comparison, and even if we attack Cao Cao at that time, I am afraid it will be a hard fight!" Guo Jia proposed, and paused for a moment, then He nodded heavily and said, "So this time, we can only attack Cao Cao!"

"In that case, wouldn't Sun Ce be sitting big?" Liu Rui couldn't help but asked curiously.

"You don't need to worry, lord. Compared to Cao Cao, Sun Ce's skills and abilities are much worse than Cao Cao's. Even if we let Jiangdong develop, he can only annex one Xuzhou at most, and we already have Jingzhou in our hands. If necessary, you can move the north and south of the Yangtze River to launch two armies at any time, and cut off the territory of Jiangdong in one fell swoop!" Guo Jia said indifferently.

"So it is!" Liu Rui nodded heavily, and after Guo Jia's explanation, he also understood.Cao Cao's territory is by the Yellow River, and both Qingzhou and Gunzhou are populated continents. Cao Cao's strength has always been the most powerful among the princes.

Moreover, Cao Cao's troops did not suffer too many losses when the princes attacked Liu Rui twice. If Cao Cao took Xuzhou and Yuzhou, then Cao Cao's territory would be directly linked to the two natural dangers of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers. At that time, Liu Rui If you want to continue to attack Cao Cao, I am afraid you have to send troops from Jingzhou to attack!

Thinking of this, Liu Rui said with a smile: "Okay, then this time we will clean up his Cao Mengde first!"

Guo Jia and the others also nodded again and again, but Mei Changsu cupped his hands and said, "My lord, now is not the time to send troops. The weather is cold now. If we force the troops, I'm afraid the damage will be even more."

"Don't we have a lot of cold-proof measures?" Liu Rui said curiously. Not to mention, the hot air pipes he arranged in the army back then were enough to allow the soldiers to maintain the maximum war in winter. force.

In the past few years, Liu Rui's army has invented countless things to maintain the soldiers' combat power. These small objects may seem inconspicuous, but they allow Liu Rui's army to always maintain the highest combat power and state.

"It's not a matter of combat power, it's also a matter of the storage of logistical supplies!" Guo Jia on the side said, "If we want to attack Qingzhou in Gunzhou, we need to arrange a large army along the Yellow River in Jizhou first, so that Cao Cao would not dare to have it. Any changes, in this way, can also prevent that Cao Cao from taking the opportunity to become bigger."

Liu Rui nodded, and then he said with a smile: "Fengxiao said very much, but if we don't fight now, when should we start a war with him Cao Mengde?"

Hearing Liu Rui's question, Guo Jia and Mei Changsu and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and said in unison, "Spring!"

"Now that the Yellow River is frozen, isn't it the best time to attack?" Liu Rui became even more curious when he heard the words of the three.

"My lord, with our current strength, there is no way to take Cao Cao in one fell swoop, so we thought we would have to wait until the spring to launch the offensive. During this period of time, we can also train new recruits well for the war." Zhuge Liang said with a smile. , , .

779: Wooden Cow and Flowing Horse

Seeing that Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and Mei Changsu persisted until the spring to launch their offensive, Liu Rui did not say more.Now that his army has just fought in Jingzhou, he really needs to recuperate. Moreover, it will take a long time to attack Jingzhou this time, so if he also attacks Cao Cao now, he will also need to prepare for some time.

"My lord, now my lord can send a large army, with a commander-in-chief to sit on the banks of the Yellow River, and take an offensive attitude. In this way, one is able to maintain the pressure on Cao Cao, so that he does not dare to act rashly, and the other is to be able to maintain the pressure on Cao Cao. Suppressing Cao Jun's psychology makes them always nervous and unable to cultivate!" Guo Jia said indifferently.

"Okay! Then let's send a commander over there!" Liu Rui nodded, and then pondered: "The last time when the five-way princes were in alliance, General Li Jing and General Cunxiao were on defense along the Yellow River, and they were the most vulnerable there. It's familiar, but this time, let General Li Jing go!"

"Master is wise!" Guo Jia bowed his hands and agreed.And Zhuge Liang and Mei Changsu also nodded repeatedly. Now that Li Cunxiao was still on his way back to Chang'an, it was naturally the most appropriate to let Li Jing go to the front to preside over the matter.

"By the way, just now you mentioned training new recruits. Who will be in charge of recruits this time?" Liu Rui suddenly asked.

"General Yue Fei is now in Chang'an, and he can be in charge of this matter. In this way, it can be carried out as soon as possible!" Zhuge Liang thought a little, and then opened his mouth and suggested.

"Okay, then let General Yue Fei do this!" Liu Rui nodded heavily, but didn't say more.

In this battle of Jingzhou, all the princes were beaten all over by Liu Rui, and as long as Cao Cao was dealt with, Liu Bei and Lu Bu would not need to be concerned at all. At that time, Liu Rui would only be left with Sun Ce as an opponent.

With Liu Rui's order, the entire Chang'an also began to operate rapidly. Li Jing led a group of troops and horses to rush to the banks of the Yellow River first, and made an appearance of attacking, which scared Cao Cao's soul.

And the food and grass needed for the Eastern Expedition also gathered from all over the country and continued to march towards the east.

It's just that it's just been a few days since the incident, and a military report came from a few days ago, saying that because of the rugged mountain roads, the roads in many places have become potholes, making it difficult for vehicles and horses to walk.

"My lord, if we don't hurry up and find a solution, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gather the food and grass that our army needs!" This matter was passed on from Zhuge Liang, so at this moment, Zhuge Liang was also frowning at the army. newspaper.

"Kong Ming, what do you think if we wait until the beginning of spring to deliver food and grass?" Liu Rui rubbed his eyebrows in distress before asking.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. If it's the beginning of spring, even if we gather the food and grass, I'm afraid we'll miss the best time!"

"This..." Liu Rui reluctantly picked up the battle report again, glanced at it again, and then said with some surprise: "A mountain road? If it is a mountain road, can't we just go around it?"

"My lord, these mountain roads are all places that we must pass through. When it snowed before, the roads here have been damaged, and many places have become rugged and difficult for vehicles and horses to pass. If we take a detour, I am afraid that time will come. It's too far to be spared!" Zhuge Liang also said helplessly.Peerless Tangmen www.jueshitangmen.info
