Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

"The safety of Xiangyang City is related to the safety of the soldiers and civilians in the city. I hope that all aristocratic families can use their private soldiers to resist the attack of Cao's army. I will ask for your credit in front of the Holy Lord." Zhuge Liang said.

Only then did the aristocratic family understand Zhuge Liang's real intention. The price of rice was to hit the aristocratic families in the city and ask them to hand over their private soldiers. This was the ultimate goal. The importance of private soldiers to the aristocratic family was self-evident.

No one is willing to completely hand over the private soldiers.

The existence of private soldiers is a symbol of the family's strength, and it is an important force to protect the family. If all the private soldiers are in Zhuge Liang's hands, they will become Zhuge Liang's playthings.

"Military advisor, although the war situation is urgent, there are not many private soldiers among the aristocratic families. Previously, all the aristocratic families have supported thousands of people, but now the city is not stable. If the aristocratic families do not have private soldiers, how can they ensure the safety of the family."

Zhuge Liang looked at this man coldly and said, "Come here, take control of the Qin family. I suspect that the Qin family is having an affair with Cao Jun outside the city. Jian Yong is responsible for investigating this matter."

After hearing these words, all the aristocratic families in the arena took a breath of air. Zhuge Liang's words directly drove the Qin family to a dead end. It can be seen that Zhuge Liang has reached the point where he must control the private soldiers in the hands of the aristocratic family.

Whether Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou or Cao Cao occupied Jingzhou, there was not much difference in the eyes of the family, and Cao Cao showed greater strength. Even if Cao Cao conquered Jingzhou, he would not dare to wipe out the court in Jingzhou. What Jingzhou represents is

The court, and what Cao Cao is most likely to do is to continue to support the Holy Emperor and attack Buchen. Liu Bei also did the same, but Liu Bei's strength was much worse than Cao Cao, otherwise Jingzhou would not have fallen into the current situation.

Moreover, before Cao Cao attacked Xiangyang, he secretly sent people to spread the news in the city. After Xiangyang was conquered, the interests of the aristocratic family would not be affected. Those who opened the city gate to welcome Cao's army into the city would be generously rewarded. In the beginning, the aristocratic family was

While waiting and watching, the experience of the Kuai family made the family more vigilant, and they did not dare to have the slightest involvement with Cao Jun, overtly or covertly.

However, judging from the wars during this period, they lost more and more confidence in Zhuge Liang. The Jingzhou navy suffered heavy losses on the way to support Xiangyang. The Jingzhou navy was an important force for Jingzhou to deal with Jiangdong. They even foresaw that when Sun Ce got

After learning about the heavy losses of the Jingzhou Army, will they take the opportunity to send troops to attack Jingzhou?

Compared to Sun Ce, the family still has some favorable impressions of Cao Cao.

"We are willing to obey the orders of the military advisor." The aristocratic families expressed their opinions one after another. No one is willing to deal with Zhuge Liang's anger at this time. The Qin family has already stated that Zhuge Liang will not be lenient when dealing with me.

After leaving the General's Mansion, the heads of the aristocratic families had different moods. Naturally, the aristocratic family would not be willing to hand over their private soldiers. They also wanted to rely on their private soldiers to preserve the family's strength in this battle.

Otherwise, once Cao Jun breaks through Xiangyang, there will definitely be chaos in the city. The private soldiers of the aristocratic family will play a great role at this moment. Otherwise, facing the enemy, the aristocratic family can only watch the family assets being plundered by others.

Even after suffering such a loss, the aristocratic family did not dare to cry to Cao Cao. Every aristocratic family had private soldiers. Cao Cao must have known about this situation. After Cao's army broke through the city, the aristocratic families had no more private soldiers.

How could Cao Cao not have thought of where these private soldiers had gone?

The head of the Li family winked at the heads of the Huang family and the Wu family beside him.

The two nodded understandingly and left the general's mansion calmly.

Outside Xiangyang City, Cao Cao had absolute confidence in conquering Xiangyang. Especially after hearing the news from Xizuo, Cao Cao was even more confident. When it was most critical for his side to attack the city, Zhuge Liang removed all the private soldiers in the hands of the noble family.

, will definitely make the family panic. The significance of private soldiers to the family is so important when the war begins.

"Lord, it seems Zhuge Liang has no other options." Xun You said with a smile.

"Zhuge Liang is just a villager. He has the guts to be so arrogant in front of me because of his cleverness. Little does he know that the aristocratic families in the city have already regarded Zhuge Liang as a thorn in their flesh." Cao Cao said.

"Lord, there is news from Jiangdong that Sun Ce intends to send troops to attack Jingzhou, and now the soldiers and horses from Jiangdong are gathering." Cheng Yu said.

Xun You heard this and whispered: "My lord, this is our army's opportunity."

"What do you mean by this?" Cao Cao asked.

"There is a deep hatred between Jingzhou and Jiangdong. The families in Jingzhou will naturally not have a good impression of Sun Ce. Moreover, the Jingzhou navy suffered heavy losses in our army's attack on Xiangyang. Once the Jiangdong army invades, the Jingzhou navy will definitely be difficult to stop.

The subordinates heard that in order to control the navy, Liu Bei promoted the generals who attached to him in the navy a lot. After the aristocratic families in the city were worried about the war in the navy, and Zhuge Liang was openly competing for the private soldiers in the hands of the aristocratic families,

The family will definitely be extremely dissatisfied with Liu Bei. As long as the lord sends people to the city secretly to appease the family, the family will definitely abandon Zhuge Liang and support the lord." Xun You said slowly.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this and nodded slightly.

"My lord, if we follow Master Xun's words, after conquering Jingzhou, we will not be able to make Liu He the emperor," Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao frowned slightly. How could he not understand the meaning of Cheng Yu's words? In fact, in Cao Cao's eyes, there is not much difference between supporting Liu He as the emperor and supporting Liu Qi to become the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Moreover, supporting Liu Qi as the emperor would be even more

It is easy to win the support of the Jingzhou family, but all Cao Cao needs is the name of the Han Dynasty.

"My lord, based on my subordinates' guess, if Zhuge Liang is defeated, he will definitely take Liu Qi away from Jingzhou. In this way, my lord can re-select the emperor on the grounds that Liu Qi's inheritance of the unjust name is unjust, and my lord's prestige will increase.

Then no one can match it." Xun You said.

Cao Cao's heart moved. Assisting the emperor to ascend the throne was definitely a huge prestige for a minister. Why did Dong Zhuo choose to change the emperor after he occupied Luoyang? The more important thing was to shock the princes and let the princes of the world see, Dong Zhuo

Even the emperor dared to change, not to mention other things. However, Dong Zhuo ignored the power of the nobles. When the nobles were angry, that anger was enough to defeat Dong Zhuo. The situation now is very different. The family under Lu Bu's rule was reorganized.

To be honest, the other noble families are doing it for the benefit of their respective families. The majesty of the Han gentry has been weakened a lot in the turmoil.

"The most important thing now is to capture Xiangyang." Cao Cao said.
