Three Kingdoms: The Crown Prince of Wei, betrothed to Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

"Buzz..."

As soon as Cao Chong's words came out, the hall suddenly exploded.

"Not withdrawn?"

"Kill a horse gun?"

"Han Sui and Ma Chao can be aggressive!"

"Silence!" Cao Cao spoke in a deep voice, and the hall suddenly closed.

"Lin'er, let's start."

Cao Cao did not open his mouth at all, as if he wanted Cao Chong to take full command.

Let Cao Chong be the commander of the three armies, Cao Cao is not just talking, these have always been Cao Chong's orders, and Cao Cao is in charge of the town.

"You heard correctly, I intend to kill a horse gun, take advantage of the slack of the enemy, seize the opportunity to attack Jiangxia, and recover the entire territory of Jingzhou!" Cao Chong spoke loudly, "If you have any questions, come one by one." "

"Han Sui and Ma Chao don't care?" Cao Ren was the first to ask.

"Didn't the army go back?" Cao Chong smiled and said, "Uncle don't have to worry. "

"The son and uncle took the tiger and leopard to ride and gallop, and Uncle Miaocai led an army of 120,000 to return to help, and there was no need to worry about Han Sui and Ma Chao."

Cao Ren then discovered that most of the generals were there, but only Cao Chun and Xia Houyuan were missing.

"So it is." Cao Ren suddenly realized, "Zi and the cavalry can quickly support, and the Miaocai brothers can march the fastest, so let the two of them go back without worry." "

The speed of the tiger and leopard riding needless to say, and Xia Houyuan led the team, which is notoriously fast, and both arrangements are very reasonable, and there is no fault in it.

"The army is gone, what are we going to take to fight Jiangxia?" Cao Hong couldn't help but ask, "It won't be just these 30,000 defenders, right?" We haven't taken Xiakou for 150,000, can 30,000 people do it? "

"Uncle, what do you say thirty thousand?" Cao Chong asked with a smile.

"Thirty thousand? Thirty thousand defenders! Cao Hong was surprised: "Isn't that right? We have more troops? "

"Yes!" Cao Chong nodded and smiled: "The point is not on 30,000, but on the defenders!" "

"What do you mean?" Cao Hong felt that his scalp was itchy and he was about to grow a brain.

"Uncle thinks that these 30,000 are defenders, so what does the coalition think these 30,000 are?" Cao Chong asked again.

"Uh... Cangshu, you just say it. Cao Hong smiled bitterly and said, "My brain doesn't spin as fast as you." "

"Hahaha~" Everyone laughed.

"Let me explain." Guo Jia took over the conversation, "Cangshu's meaning is very simple, the defenders and defenders, even General Cao Hong thinks that they are defenders, then the coalition forces will also think of them as defenders." "

"Defending means defending." Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "And if we attack with these 30,000 people, the other party will definitely not think of it, so that we can fight an unexpected attack and attack it unprepared." "

Indeed, Cao Chong let the large army leave directly north in order to further paralyze the coalition forces.

When the coalition forces heard that Xiangyang left 30,000 people, they would definitely subconsciously despise it in their hearts.

Who would have thought that the Cao army would dare to attack with 30,000 troops?

Naturally, he was deceived into thinking that the large army of the Cao army withdrew, and Cao Cao and other high-ranking officials naturally withdrew with the large army, thus relaxing their vigilance.

"Thirty thousand troops is too little... Can you hit each other? There are 50,000 or 60,000 people on the other side. "

"We are a sneak attack, not a frontal fight." Cao Chong said with a smile: "And the other party is unguarded, we can attack at night, and the strength of the troops is not important." "

"Another point, the Sun Liu family is not harmonious." Cao Chong was astonishing.

"What?!"

"Just kidding, right?"

"Can two discords still be alliance?"

Cao Chong's words caused an uproar among everyone.

After everyone had a little discussion, Cao Chong pressed his hand slightly, and the hall immediately quieted down, his eyes all staring at Cao Chong, waiting for the prodigy's high opinion.

"Let me ask you, whose place does Jiangxia belong to? Liu Qi? Liu Bei? Sun quan? Cao Chong looked around at everyone, "I also ask you to answer." "

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, but finally gave a unified answer.

"Either Liu Qi's or Sun Quan's, it's not Liu Bei's anyway."

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with Liu Bei here.

"Liu Qi and Jiangdong were at odds, and before our army marched south, the two sides fought inextricably in Jiangxia."

"Because of the arrival of our army, under pressure, coupled with Liu Bei as an intermediary, the two sides had to unite."

"Now that our army retreats, then Liu Qi and the Jiangdong side will immediately resume the pre-war hostilities."

"In Liu Qi's opinion, Jiangxia is Jingzhou, and Jingzhou was originally his father's, so it must be his territory now."

"In Jiangdong's view, before the alliance, Jiangxia Jiucheng's territory had been captured by Jiangdong, and now that the alliance is over, these territories are naturally still Jiangdong's."

"Obviously, Liu Qi and Jiangdong will definitely have a grudge over the ownership of Jiangxia." Cao Chong joked: "Maybe they are arguing about it now." "

"Cangshu, in your opinion, the two sides are quarreling over this, who is Jiang Xia?" Cao Hong asked with a smile.

"You want me to say it." Cao Chong raised his voice and said, "This Jiang Xia is neither Liu Qi's nor Sun Quan's, but ours!" "

When everyone heard this, they looked grim, and saw Cao Chong continue to analyze:

"Liu Qi has 20,000 soldiers and horses, and Jiangdong is less than 40,000, which adds up to almost 60,000."

"But if the two sides are hostile, then you cannot use addition, and subtraction is more appropriate."

"Forty thousand minus twenty thousand, that's twenty thousand, we can have thirty thousand."

In between words, Cao Chong broke the matter and kneaded it, and told everyone in an orderly and clear manner.

"Eh~ It seems to be able to do it!"

"Listening to Gongzi say this, we seem to have won."

"Fight and fight! Jiangxia must be recovered. "

Cao Cao on the main throne looked at this scene, and then looked at the beloved son who scolded Fang Xuan, the smile on his face was not contained, and the corners of his mouth were all turned up into the sky.

At this time, Cheng Yu suddenly got up and handed over his hand: "Gongzi, I have another question, please solve it." "

"Sir, please speak." Cao Chong bowed his head slightly.

"The question of your command of the water battle." Cheng Yu said in a deep voice, "Can Gongzi be sure that he will use only 30,000 troops to fight in a water battle and win in the end?" "

"Water war is definitely not a good idea." Cao Chong shook his head in denial.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, since they couldn't fight, how could they fight?

"But we can fight land wars!"

Natsukou.

Allied water village.

The banquet broke up unhappily, and Zhou Yu returned to rest.

"Metropolitan Governor, Mr. Zhuge asks for a meeting." Lu Meng's voice sounded outside.

"Please." Zhou Yu didn't hesitate.

During this time, he was suppressed and beaten by Cao Chong's troops, and the most comfortable thing for Zhou Yu was probably Zhuge Liang's return to Jiangdong.

For Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu appreciates it from the bottom of his heart and attaches great importance to it, so he must get it by any means.

Afterwards, Zhuge Liang entered the tent and saluted, "Meet the Governor of Dadu." "

"Kong Ming, sit quickly." Zhou Yu said enthusiastically, "What are you looking for me?" "

"Come for the things of Jiangxia."

"Oh? How to say? "

"I think Jiang Xia should be given to Liu Qi."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yu's expression instantly became cold, "What does Kong Ming mean by this?" "

"Most of them are angry and listen to me slowly."

"Good."

The two sat down separately, and Zhuge Liang spoke unhurriedly and asked:

"Does the Metropolitan Governor want to use troops against Liu Qi and eventually destroy him?"

"I don't have that idea." Zhou Yu shook his head without thinking, "Liu Qi's 20,000 troops in his hands, and according to Xiakou, even if we forcibly start a battle, even if we take it, our side will suffer heavy casualties and greatly lose vitality. "

Compared with the historical Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao did not lose miserably this time, and the tens of thousands of soldiers only lost a little.

In this case, Cao Cao could make a comeback at any time.

If Jiang Dong forcibly gnawed Liu Qi, after the two sides fought, it would undoubtedly give Cao Cao a chance.

"Then is the Metropolitan Governor willing to fund Liu Qi's grain and grass? In the future, he has been feeding Liu Qi and his 20,000 troops? Zhuge Liang asked again.

"By what?" Zhou Yu blurted out.

"Good." Zhuge nodded and said, "The Metropolitan Governor neither annexes nor finances, it seems that he wants Liu Qi to use as a barrier to help Jiangdong resist Cao Cao's troops, right?" "

"Good." Zhou Yu nodded slowly, "I do have this idea, Liu Qi continues to occupy Xiakou and block the threat from upstream for Jiangdong. "

"The idea of the Metropolitan Governor is very good." Zhuge Liang first agreed, and then asked rhetorically, "Then did Dadu Governor ever think about what Liu Qi lived on?" Or what to eat? "

"Xiakou does have grain reserves, but after the grain is eaten, how can you feed an army of 20,000 in Xiakou?"

Zhou Yu was silent when he heard this, and he couldn't answer Zhuge Liang's question.

"I mean, Jiang Xia will give it to, or lend it to Liu Qi temporarily." Zhuge Liang continued: "The production of one county is enough to feed the troops in Liu Qi's hands, but it is not enough for Liu Qi to expand his army, so that it will not be big in the future. "

"Go on." Zhou Yu listened carefully.

"Liu Qi has 20,000 troops, it is impossible to threaten Jiangdong, he cannot attack Jiangdong, and it does not hurt for Jiangxia to give him heavy land."

"Having Liu Qi sitting in Jiangxia, giving him a foothold is equivalent to leaving Liu Qi here and letting Liu Qi sit at the west gate for Jiangdong."

"If you don't give Liu Qi a foothold, wait until Xia has no food, not to mention Liu Qi attacking Jiangdong, Liu Qi can leave with an army of 20,000, where in the world can't go?"

"At that time, Jiangxia will indeed be owned by Jiangdong, but Jiangdong will also have to take out a considerable part of the troops to garrison."

"In this way, the strength of the native Jiangdong army has been drastically reduced, if Cao Cao attacks the Jiangbiao land, will the remaining 30,000 troops be enough to hold the Yangtze River defense line?"

"Leave Liu Qi in Jiangxia, Bai has 20,000 troops, help us defend the west, solve the pressure of border defense, and the Jiangdong army can concentrate on defending the north."

At present, Cao Cao occupied Jingzhou, and there were two ways to attack Jiangdong.

First, it naturally flows down the river from Jingzhou.

The second is to send troops from Xuzhou and go south to cross the river to fight.

Cao Cao's troops were strong, and he could divide his troops into two routes, both of which were the main forces. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

And Jiangdong did not have enough troops, so he could only focus on one side of defense.

With Liu Qi, the problem can be solved, Liu Qi guards the west gate, and Jiangdong focuses on the north.

After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Zhou Yu couldn't help but waver.

Zhuge Liang struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Dadu Governor, the alliance cannot be broken, we need Liu Qi's 20,000 troops, Jiangxia and Jiangdong are interdependent. "

"Will the skin be possessed if the hair is not preserved?"

"As for the truth of dead lips and cold teeth, I don't expect to need to be repeated by subordinates."

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he gently shook the feather fan and did not continue speaking, leaving space for Zhou Yu to think.

"Kong Ming is right." Zhou Yu nodded slowly, "But this matter still needs to be cautious, I have to talk to the Moling side and let the ministers discuss it." "

"The Metropolitan Governor is wise." Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "As long as you clarify the pros and cons, you expect that with the wisdom of the lord, you will definitely not refuse." "

Then the two chatted about the situation, and Zhuge Liang got up to leave.

Zhou Yu wanted to talk more, but Zhuge Liang didn't have this thought.

I wanted to keep it, but as soon as I thought about coming to Japan, it was not early, so Zhou Yu let Zhuge Liang leave.

After personally sending Zhuge Liang away, Zhou Yu returned to the military tent, full of thoughts about the content of the conversation just now, and he needed to think about it again.

After Zhuge Liang left, he first returned to his camp.

In the dead of night, Zhuge Liang quietly left and headed towards Liu Qi.

The Cao army has withdrawn, and the water village is also lax.

Zhuge Liang took advantage of the cover of night and came to Liu Bei's camp without anyone noticing.

"Stop." When Guan Yu saw the figure, he immediately reprimanded.

Guan Zhang and Zhao often stood guard for Liu Bei at night.

"Yunchang, it's me." Zhuge Liang came to the front.

"What are you going to do?!" Guan Yu glared angrily, "Leave quickly, don't blame me for being unkind." "

For Zhuge Liang's betrayal, Liu Bei's side was very angry.

"Didn't Yun Chang also have a time when he temporarily lived in Cao Ying, can't he understand me?" Zhuge Liang asked rhetorically.

Guan Yu was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't believe it: "Military master, you..."

"I want to see the lord, have important matters to discuss, and go and call Yide and Zilong."

"Oh."

Not long after, the five gathered in the large tent.

"Kong Ming!" Liu Bei pulled Zhuge Liang excitedly, "I know that you will definitely not fail me!" "

"Lord, the minister is committed to Jiangdong Shishi, I hope you will forgive me."

"No hindrance, no problem." Liu Bei said as tears flowed down, "It's that I don't have the ability to protect you..."

"Master, don't say this, I'm here for an important matter."

"Sit, sit, let's sit down and talk." Liu Bei pulled Zhuge Liang to sit down.

"Just now I went to see Zhou Yu and persuaded him to give up Jiangxia and give up this place to, or lend it to Liu Qi." Zhuge Liang continued: "Zhou Yu has been persuaded by me and basically agreed. "

"Good! Wow! Liu Bei was very excited, "Don't worry now, this good news has to be told to Liu Qixian's nephew." "

"Or the military division has a way." Zhang Fei couldn't help but praise.

"Huh." Zhuge Liang quipped: "At the beginning, Yide scolded me the most fiercely, and I felt uncomfortable and died at that time. "

"I..." Zhang Fei was suddenly embarrassed.

Immediately, without saying a word, he gave himself two punches.

"If the military master is not relieved, just hit me."

"Yide, what is the reason?" Zhuge Liang reproached: "I'm kidding you." "

"It's okay, I'm thick skin, I'm playing!" Zhang Fei didn't care.

"Hahaha~" Everyone laughed in the big tent.

After saying and laughing, Zhuge Liang said solemnly: "Lord, you can't go on like this, Jiang Xia and 20,000 soldiers and horses must be held in your hands, you can't keep sending people under the fence and relying on people's noses." "

"The reason why Chen went to persuade Zhou Yu and persuade Jiang Dong to give up Jiang Xia is to specially plan for you to seize this opportunity!"

In the face of Zhuge Liang's persuasion, Liu Bei fell silent again.

At today's banquet, when Liu Bei came out to play round, Liu Qi did not give this uncle face.

Usually can do a mouthful of an uncle, but when it comes to vital interests, Liu Bei is a yarn?

Liu Qi, a big living person, must have his own ideas, and it is impossible to obey Liu Beiyan in everything.

"Big brother, don't live up to the military master's wishes." Guan Yu persuaded: "The military master has repeatedly offered his plans, three times and twice we can take Jingzhou, you have not adopted it, do you have to miss it this time?" "

"Big brother!" Zhang Fei also persuaded: "You have prestige in the army, as long as Liu Qi is not there, these 20,000 troops will definitely listen to you!" "

"Let me think... Think about it..." Liu Bei muttered, his expression was stunned, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

However, there is no need to make a decision, because Cao Chong will help him decide.

Liu Qi was thinking about how to take back Jiang Xia, and Zhou Yu was thinking about whether to give Jiang Xia to Liu Qi.

Zhuge Liang was busy creating opportunities for Liu Bei, who was struggling with whether to take his nephew's inheritance.

After Cao Jun left, everyone was busy.

The high-level people of the Sun-Liu Alliance are full of calculations and want to fight for their own interests.

But they only missed a little, Cao Chong would choose to kill a horse gun.

Above Hanshui.

The 30,000 Cao army set out from Xiangyang, went down the river, maneuvered the boat, and rushed to Xiakou at a very fast speed.

If it had been placed in the past, with such a fast ship speed, Cao Jun would not be able to stand at all, and might have directly hit the shore.

But after several months of actual combat experience, I dare not say that Cao Jun is a qualified or elite water army.

But to say that Cao Jun is an entry-level water army, there is no problem at all.

In the absence of enemy harassment, the boat is also a slippery batch.

The fire was largely extinguished by smoke billowing on the north bank of Xiakou, but the smoke could continue for many more days.

Under the cover of darkness and smoke, the 30,000 Cao troops were silent, like a ghost ship sailing on the water.

And the coalition side was unguarded, and all the soldiers slacked off, allowing the Cao army to smoothly touch a very close distance!

"Choke!"

Standing on the bow deck, Cao Chong drew out the sword given by Cao Cao.

"Drumming! Enter!!! "。
