The words are divided into two parts, but it is said that Cao Cao has taken Jingzhou, and his strength has skyrocketed, so he can't help but be full of confidence. It is the ministers of the church to discuss the next strategy together. Cao's army has been marching non-stop these days, reorganizing a large number of troops every day, consolidating the newly acquired land in Jingzhou. A few days ago, Cao Cao personally led the iron cavalry and chased Liu Bei fiercely. Be sure to kill Liu Bei so that he will never be in trouble. Fortunately, Liu Bei's generals Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, etc. were able to do so, as well as Yujiang Xia's sailor. Although Liu Bei died of his wife, he still managed to escape.

Liu Bei and his party fled to Xiakou in a hurry, and the army was almost wiped out, with only a hundred guards, and some civilians and remnants were retrieved one after another. In Xiakou, Liu Bei finally breathed a sigh of relief and received a warm welcome. Under the rectification of Guan Yu and Liu Qi, Xiakou was not affected by Liu Cong's surrender. The original Jingzhou soldiers continued to be loyal to Liu Qi and others, and the soldiers recruited later were not to mention. Xiakou's troops reached 40,000.

After that Cao's army defeated Liu Bei's army, all the way south. On the way, Cao Cao heard that Liu Lin, the prefect of Jingling, was not very obedient, so he ordered Li Dian to deal with it. After Li Dian arrived, he took over the important military and political affairs of Jingling, coaxed Liu Lin with rhetoric, and tricked him out and slashed him with a knife. At this time, Cao's army continued to move south, and Xiahou Dun's vanguard army of 100,000 had already stationed in Wulin, Chibi and other places. Across the river, you could see the ground of Jiangdong. To the east, Jiangxia was across the river.

Cao Cao headed south all the way and entered Nanjun with his main force. Nanjun is in the east and west, so the parties cannot see Cao Cao's combat intentions for the time being. Cao Cao didn't think about it himself, so he called his ministers to discuss.

On the tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao sat reclining, triumphant. "In less than a month recently, it has occupied the entire territory of Jingzhou, and there are countless food, grass and property. This place is quite rich, and the prosperity of Jingzhou is not inferior to that of Chang'an and Luoyang. Such taxes can also support hundreds of thousands of troops and horses. This is still up to you. Powerful..." He said again and again and cupped his hands. The ministers were flattered, and they all said: "My lord is wise, we are very fortunate." Cao Cao was even more proud and said: "The soldiers and civil servants who participated in the Jingzhou (bace) battle this time will be rewarded according to their rank! Cheng Yu, you propose Details, and then report it to me."

"As ordered." Cheng Yu leaned over and said.

Na Mao Jie said: "The lord has conquered the four seas, and his reputation is astonishing. Expelling the Tartars, defeating the chaotic ministers and thieves, protecting the country and the people, the credit is comparable to Yao and Shun. The lord should be called the king, otherwise it will not reflect the lord's merit and honor."

Cao Cao was overjoyed. However, this is only the statement of Mao Jie. This Mao Jie is just a spy and intelligence agent. Although he is trusted by Cao Cao, he is not honorable in the official system and has no appeal. In order to become a king, a minister with more than one doctor has to get up and call for a joint call. It's too early for Cao Cao to make an arrangement now. Therefore, although Cao Cao was happy, he hurriedly said: "Mao Jie, you must not talk nonsense. How can I compare to Yao and Shun? Calling a king is a matter of national importance, and you must not talk rashly."

"Yes..." Mao Jie wanted to take the opportunity to shoot a horse, although Cao Cao rejected him, but he looked quite happy... That's it.

"We're taking Jingzhou now. Next step, is it to advance to Jiangdong or west to capture Yizhou?" Cao Cao asked.

Yizhou... The ministers took it for granted that they should invade Jiangdong, not Yizhou. The terrain of Yizhou is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack. How can Yizhou be attacked? On the other hand, in Jiangdong, there is only one big river, and the army is not as strong as the fallen army. According to the current army of one million, it is determined to win, and it can obviously expand its strength... The ministers are quite puzzled why Cao Cao proposed Yizhou. Moreover, the invasion of Jiangdong was the last plan approved by Guo Jia in a discussion.

That Xun You came out and said: "Mr. Guo Jia left Jiangdong, I don't know why the lord is discussing Yizhou?"

Cao Cao smiled awkwardly: "I didn't mean to fight Yizhou... I just asked the ministers to discuss... Now Huang Zhong's army has only 100,000 troops, and Hanzhong and Yizhou are empty. Most of Luochen is fighting hard against the Huns in the north. Yizhou, are you taking advantage of it... If you don't fight now, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the future..." He pointed to Mao Jie: "Tell everyone about the latest information on Luochen's side."

That Mao Jie hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said: "I will tell you about the latest information on Luochen's side, which is collected by our intelligence system. The first is that the prefect of Yizhou has been replaced, and Zhang Juzheng has been transferred back to Chang'an. Now, the new prefect of Yizhou is Xu Shu. The second is the so-called Prairie Wolf Corps in Hexi. The main force of this Corps is composed of great prairie wolves. "

"Prairie Wolf Legion?..." This was the first time the ministers heard such a word, and it was made up of hundreds of thousands of big wolves... It was the first time I heard of such an army.

"Is there such an army? If I remember correctly, Luochen looks like an elite Guanzhong iron cavalry." Cheng Yu said.

"Not bad..." Mao Jie looked smug, as if this record was created by him. "This prairie wolf army is really too powerful. It actually beat Luochen's Guanzhong iron cavalry to the ground... My intelligence personnel on the front line asked around, and I heard that the fallen army suffered heavy losses..." Mao Jie said with a look of excitement. "We haven't been able to confirm the specific situation. We will send intelligence personnel to the west side of Daohe as soon as possible. Now we can only inquire in the Xiongnu grasslands, Shuofang and other places."

"There are various indications that Luochen is in considerable trouble now, and Yizhou's troops are empty..." Cao Cao was quite proud and extremely happy. He has both conquered Hebei and Jingzhou, but Luochen has encountered trouble with the Xiongnu. Can he be unhappy? "Do you think it is feasible to fight Yizhou first?" Cao Cao asked, "Is it better to fight Jiangdong first?"

The ministers were silent, pondering. Cao Cao emphasized the various favorable conditions for attacking Yizhou. Could it be that he advocated attacking Yizhou? However, the defenders of Yizhou, Huang Zhong and the local army, were very difficult to fight because of the natural danger. This is obvious. The new Xu Shu, who has been with Cao Jun for many years, is not a fuel-efficient lamp...

Na Xunyou said: "I'm afraid that we will move Yizhou, which is the core interest of Luochen, and Chang'an may try to mobilize troops. The mobilization ability of Luochen's ruled area is still quite strong. Moreover, the Luojun may simply abandon the northern battlefield and enter the army. South, we will have a lot of trouble then..."

Cao Cao was originally undecided. Xun You's words seemed to make sense. Looking at the ministers, they seemed to agree that most of them wanted to fight Jiangdong. Then he stopped reluctantly and said: "Since everyone thinks that Jiangdong is good, then I agree to immediately draw up a plan to pacify the southeast of Jiangdong!".

Chapter 164 Lu Su

However, Cao Cao decided to go south to Jiangdong. Discuss strategies with the ministers.

That Cheng Yu said: "The top priority is to prevent Sun Liu from reaching an alliance, and urge Jiangdong to surrender." As soon as this statement was made, all the ministers agreed. That Cao Cao said: "Sir's words are eloquent. I will repair the book and send it to Jiangdong now to urge them to surrender. Now our army on the riverside has nearly one million, and its strength is strong, and Jiangdong is not an opponent at all. As long as they surrender obediently, the conditions are still good. Discuss." Speaking of the lower hall, he drafted a text on the spot and said: "I will guide you to the south, Liu Cong will hold your hands; the people of Jingxiang, please follow the wind. Today, there are a million troops and a thousand generals. I want to hunt with the generals in the Jiang Xia will attack Liu Bei together, share the same land, and form an alliance forever. Fortunately, don’t wait and see, and give an answer quickly.” Said triumphantly, he said: “So Sun Quan knows my great power, if you know me, stay away from Liu Bei and surrender quickly. "

When Cheng Yu heard this, this sentence was very arrogant, clearly showing off himself, and then warned Sun Quan. How can I send it? But seeing that Cao Cao was complacent, he did not discuss with the ministers at all, and directly told the messenger to pass it on, so he had to keep his mouth shut. I hope that Sun Quan can be frightened by the millions of soldiers and surrender directly, so that in another month, he can unify the south. You can face off against the dust and defeat it.

But said Liu Bei's side. Now that the city is being fortified every day, the whole city is training troops to prepare for battle, and renovating food and grass equipment, it seems that it is going to resist to the end. However, Xiahou Dun did not advance after reaching Wulin, Chibi and other places, probably infiltrating Sun Quan's sphere of influence, so he was cautious and let Cao Cao make up his mind.

Since that Fazheng became Liu Bei's staff officer, he hasn't said a word. Liu Bei's subordinates almost forgot about Fazheng's staff. Liu Bei wondered in his heart, Luochen sent Fazheng, but he didn't say a word, what was this doing... Soon, Luochen sent a letter. The specified essential law is being dismantled in front of Liu Bei. Liu Bei knew in his heart that he wanted to avoid suspicion and prevent himself from doubting. So Liu Bei repeatedly refused, but Fa Zheng couldn't help but open the letter. Liu Bei and the ministers were half-hearted, and they all stepped forward to watch. It doesn't matter if you don't get stuck, you are all confused at first glance. Even the Fazheng was perplexed and frowning. What kind of letter is this? It's clearly an inexplicable question-and-answer segment. But everyone can see that this question and answer is related to the current situation~.

for example:

Question: Even though Cao Cao was relying on the Son of Heaven to command the princes, he was still the queen of the prime minister, Cao Can. Although Liu Yuzhou is a descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan Mountain, there is no test. Seeing that he is only the husband of a mat weaving and selling pair of shoes, why is he enough to compete with Cao Cao!

Answer: Since Cao Cao became the prime minister of Cao, he will be a minister of Han in the world; now he is a dictator of power, bullying the ruler and his father. Liu Yuzhou, the dignified emperor, the current emperor, bestows rank according to the pedigree, why is there no test? Moreover, the great ancestor got up and became a pavilion, and he finally had the world; how could it be a shame to weave mats and sell them? The views of the children are not enough to share with Gao Shi!

Question: The public likes to be a big talk, but there may not be real learning, and I am afraid that it will be laughed at by Confucians.

Answer: Confucianism has the distinction between a gentleman and a villain. A gentleman of Confucianism, loyal to the monarch and patriotism, guarding righteousness and evil, and keeping his name in the future. Ruofu is a villain of Confucianism, who only works on carving insects, specializing in calligraphy and calligraphy, and writing fu in youth, with a rich head and a poor scripture; although there are thousands of words in his pen, there is really no strategy in his heart. And like Yang Xiong, who is famous for his articles, but stoops to do things recklessly, and can't help but threw himself into the cabinet to die. This is the so-called villain's Confucianism; even if he has ten thousand words a day, how can he take it!

...

As if one person supports Cao Cao and the other opposes Cao Cao, the two sides are arguing with each other. And this small question and answer directly involved "Cao Cao" and "Liu Bei", and Fazheng was confused. After reading these questions and answers several times, I still can't understand the mystery.

Looking at Liu Bei again, he was also confused.

At the end of the letter, it was a large line of characters, saying: "Use the method of aggressive generals."

If it weren't for the fact that Luo Chen's name and his personal seal had not been clearly signed, Fazheng would have thought it was a mistake. At the beginning of the letter, it was clearly written that Fazheng was opening it for reading, and Uncle Liu was requested to read it together.

Everyone is really puzzled, and they are making their own guesses. The sergeant outside the door came in and said, "Jiangdong Lu Su came to visit."

Everyone looked at each other. This Lu Su is still somewhat famous. A big family in the south of the Yangtze River, he is always forthright in nature, likes fencing, and learns about the great plans of emperors. It turned out that Zhou Yu had raised his army and had no food and grass, so he went to ask Lu Su to borrow it, and Lu Su gave him generously. The two have since become friends with each other, and their relationship is quite good among the ministers in Jiangdong. On Zhou Yu's recommendation, Lu Su went to Sun Quan's office to become a councilor. Later, I heard that he gave Sun Quan a grand plan. Sun Quan chatted with him at night. Although Lu Su usually didn't like to talk, when he talked about the current situation, he was eloquent and poignant. Put forward the theory of three parts of the world. At this time, the two heroes of the Central Plains stand side by side. Luochen and Cao Cao, currently neither can swallow the other, and both sides are eager to expand. The south is peaceful for a while. Now that the Jiangdong country is rich and the people are rich, it has natural dangers, so it is necessary to step up military training and wait and see how things change. When there is a chance, go north to take Xiakou, then take Nanjun, westward to Changsha, Xiangtan and other places, and expand the power to Jingzhou. In this way, they possessed the Yangtze River, stationed troops to defend themselves, and even Luochen and Cao Cao did not dare to go south easily. Such a three-legged situation has been achieved. After hearing this, Sun Quan greatly admired and trusted Lu Su greatly. As a result, Lu Su became a famous official in the south of the Yangtze River, and even heard of it in the Central Plains of Jiangbei. And his third theory, which people in Jiangnan talked about, turned out to be a political theory with great influence. Cao Cao and Luo Chen in the north were unable to take care of the south, so although they secretly gathered their ministers to discuss, they did not express their opinions publicly, so as not to reveal their strategic intentions. Only the Jingzhou faction was very dissatisfied. Moreover, they thought that the Huns had the ambition to annex Jingzhou, so they always took strict precautions against Jiangdong. Moreover, Jingzhou Liu Biao killed Sun Jian, and Jiangdong's power was greatly weakened, and the two were feuding. Liu Biao also organized a large number of scholars to criticize this argument. However, most of these dog-headed scholars who really criticize and falsely criticize have been included by Cao Cao.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, the two never interacted, how did Lu Su take the initiative to visit this time? Liu Bei said, "Please come in, Mr. Lu Su..." He paced nervously. Now Jiangxia is in danger, and life in Jiangdong is not easy. Lu Su is coming now. Could it be related to Cao Cao?

After a while, Lu Su was led in by the guards. The two sides met each other and exchanged greetings. Neither side knew what to say, and that Zhang Fei was about to question, so Liu Bei stopped him with his eyes. Seeing the awkward atmosphere and not knowing how to introduce it, Lu Su spoke directly. Na Lu Su got up and said, "I'm here this time to discuss with Uncle Liu and Mr. Fazheng about Cao Cao's Chen Bing and Jiangdong."

This sentence was really direct, and everyone looked at each other. Nafa Zheng said: "What are your plans, sir, please tell me directly."

Na Lusu said: "Now Cao Cao has a million troops, and he wants my lord to join forces with him and take down Uncle Liu together... It means that he will hunt in Jiangxia."

"It's called hunting, but it's actually persuading to surrender." Fa Zheng said with a sneer.

"Exactly..." Lu Su was honest and didn't make any detours, and said: "My lord is hesitant to surrender now. As far as the next person is concerned, he is against surrender. Once surrender, of course, it will not be good for my lord, but it will not be good for Liu Huangshu. It's even more useless. The lord heard that the deputy counselor Fazheng next to the General is in Jiangxia, and specially invited the gentleman to go to Jiangdong. My lord wants to ask for advice in person...".

Chapter 165 The Yangtze River! Yangtze!

The great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the romantic figures of the ages. To the west of the fortress, humane is, the Three Kingdoms Zhou Lang Chibi. The rocks pierced through the air, the waves crashed on the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up.

——Su Shi, "Nian Nujiao, Chibi Nostalgia"

It turned out that Lu Su came here to invite Fazheng to Jiangdong. Lu Su was a war fighter, so he hoped that Fazheng could persuade Sun Quan not to surrender. That Sun couldn't make up his mind now, his family didn't discuss enough, and he had to invite Fazheng from the Luochen Liu Bei Alliance Group. There are about three factions of scholars in the world, one is the Luochen Group, the other is Cao Cao, and the other is the Southeast. The southeastern faction mainly includes Jingzhou and Jiangdong. After Cao Cao captured Jingzhou, most of Jingzhou scholars followed Cao to surrender, and some fled to the southeast countryside. Of course, in addition to the three factions who have stepped into the political foreground, there are also a large number of "easy people" living in seclusion in the countryside. These people do not say "four three seven" in the court, and their views are not often heard by people. Some of the Yimin are famous at home and abroad, they are famous recluses, and some are unknown and have not been known by the world.

Fazheng said goodbye to Liu Bei and others, and went down with Lu Sunan alone. After leaving Jiangxia City, you will see the water flowing eastward. Moisture lingers on the river, and the breeze is gentle. That Lu Su only took a fast boat, dozens of soldiers, carrying the law down the river. After leaving Jiangxia, he passed Sanjiangkou, Huangzhou and other places. Along the way, the Wushu army was heavily guarded, and there were many sentries. This section of the river was originally very busy, and now there is not a single ship for ten miles, only warships are cruising. There was pre-war tension everywhere.

Then Lu Su saw that Fazheng was staring at Jiang Shui in a trance, and came over.

What a Yangtze River! When it comes to the Yangtze River, the Chinese people will feel the surging white water in front of their eyes, and when they mention the Yangtze River, they will be surrounded by the earth, graceful and rich. The Yangtze River is indeed magnificent, but it is more gentle than the Yellow River. Not like the roar of the Yellow River. The people from the Central Plains raised by the Yellow River have the spirit of galloping and heroic, the style of martial arts, and have been educated by etiquette, thus becoming a typical image of the Han people. Once the Yangtze River is crossed, the water is lingering, and the characters of the mountains and rivers are a little more gentle and charming. People from Jiangdong have a sense of freshness and beauty. This is Wu people.

The Sun Clan was originally in the area of ​​Huaisi, and it was still some distance from the south of the Yangtze River. Arrived in Jiangnan, run in with the Jiangnan clan. Now Soochow is really full of talents, and it is a grand sight. Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu were the first. These two were the best with Sun Ce. After Sun Ce died, he was the first to stand up to support Sun Quan. Therefore, he is the minister of Jiangdong humerus. In addition, there are veterans of Sun Jian's generation, Han Dang, Huang Gai and others, who are highly respected. There were also generals from the Zhongqing faction who followed Sun Ce or who were newly joined. They were the main force in large numbers. There were Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Ling Tong, Gan Ning, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, Pan Zhang, Dong Xi, Lü Meng and others. Some of these people are veteran generals of Huaisi, some were joined by Sun Ce during the process of restoring Jiangdong, and some were newly joined after Sun Quan ascended the throne. These people really listened to Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, so it was not unreasonable for Sun Quan to regard Zhou Yu as the top military general in the country, because Zhou Yu gathered a large number of the main generals of the Chinese youth faction. And Han Dang and others seem to be very old. Although they have not left the stage, they have little right to speak. This Lu Su was a new member after Sun Quan ascended the throne. He was introduced by Zhou Yu and won Sun Quan's trust. In addition, there were Zhuge Jin and others among the civil servants. Whether or not to surrender this time is a faction of conservative civil servants headed by Zhang Zhao in the DPRK, who advocate surrender. The veteran generals such as Han Dang are determined to fight, and most of the generals of the Central Youth faction also fight. Zhou Yu's attitude is unclear. He mobilized the navy at Poyang Lake and has not yet participated in the court hearing. If Zhou Yu leads the surrender, then the generals of the Central Youth faction are bound to follow, and most of the DPRK and the Central Committee are from the surrender faction. If Zhou Yu is the main battle, then the strength of the faction in the DPRK and the main battle is significantly higher than that of the capitulation faction. This Lu Su was also a resolute advocate of the war. It is understandable that Lu Su's theory of three parts of the world is based on his confidence in Jiangdong's energy. Although the goal of capturing Jingzhou has not been achieved, and Jiangdong has not yet intervened in Jingzhou affairs, Cao Cao's army of hundreds of thousands of horses rushed south. Jiangdong knew that he was invincible, so he could only avoid it. Even so, Jiangdong's strength is strong, the army is armed with 200,000 people, the people are rich and the country is rich, and there is natural danger. Lu Su believed that the strength of the three-point world was still there, that is, Jiangdong was still capable of protecting himself. Zhang Zhao and others are not confident in Jiangdong's strength, even ignorant of Jiangdong's strength, and are intimidated by the strong momentum of the Central Plains army, but they do not know that Jiangdong's water army has great advantages in terms of terrain, supplies, climate, and naval literacy. Advantages, as long as the strategy is appropriate, it is still unknown who will kill the deer.

But I saw that it was already in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the autumn wind suddenly started, and the summer heat was gone. The pattering rain began to fall, and when it rained, the sky and the earth became extremely cool. Seeing that the wind was blowing heavily on the bow, the attendant brought a thin cloak to put them on.

This is the first time this book introduces the Yangtze River to readers, and there is a "Fog Over the River Odes" to offer:
