Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 1456: Jiangdong's Opportunity

"Now Lu Bu has occupied the land of Qingzhou and Jizhou. Xuzhou is close to Qingzhou. If Lu Bu sends troops to attack Xuzhou in the future, it will be a huge trouble." Cheng Yu said, he was also extremely afraid of Lu Bu's methods and dared to compete with the strength of the family.

The courage to fight against and make the family settle down is not something that ordinary monarchs can possess, and Lu Bu's army has strong fighting power.

If Liu Zhang hadn't invited Liu Bei to Yizhou, Yizhou might have been in Lu Bu's hands at this time. Such Lu Bu would be even more terrifying. There is no doubt how important Yizhou is to a prince.

Owning Yizhou is equivalent to owning a granary. You don't have to worry about food and grass in future battles.

Cao Cao sighed: "It's a pity that Yuan Shao actually committed suicide after defeat in Jizhou." He still regretted the fact that Yuan Shao was defeated and committed suicide. No matter how he viewed Yuan Shao, the two had known each other since childhood, and they had known each other since childhood.

In the Yellow Turban, Dong Zhuo got to where he is today step by step.

However, this is also the general trend. The world has been in chaos for a long time, and strong figures will definitely emerge to bring peace to the troubled times. However, what Cao Cao did not expect was that Lu Bu would become more and more powerful in this troubled times.

In terms of talents under his command, Lu Bu is much inferior to Yuan Shao. However, under such circumstances, Lu Bu not only defeated the coalition of princes, but also took advantage of the situation to eliminate Yuan Shao, Ma Teng, and Zhang Lu. The combat effectiveness displayed by the officers and men in the army was extremely powerful.

, Cao Cao thought he was a good leader, but compared with Lu Bu, he felt inferior.

"It doesn't matter, Lu Bu will definitely not break up with me at this time. Lu Bu's army has been fighting for a long time. Although the combat effectiveness is strong, the soldiers are exhausted, and the rule needs time to stabilize. The expansion speed is too fast, but

It will be counterproductive." Cao Cao said. He knew Lu Bu's character quite well. In the eyes of outsiders, every battle between Lu Bu and Lu Bu was dangerous, but in fact it was not the case. Every time he went on an expedition, Lu Bu had great confidence. He was so confident when fighting against the princes.

, the same goes for attacking Ma Teng, and the same goes for sweeping across Youzhou and Xianbei.

Xun You thought about it for a moment and understood the reason. The two parties were currently in an alliance, and Lu Bu was feared by other princes. He wished to see the princes fighting against each other and profit from it, just like how Lu Bu eliminated Yuan Shao's power this time.

When Cao Cao led his troops to attack Jingzhou, otherwise Cao Cao's army would have been able to distract Lu Bu from the battlefield.

As the war progresses, the princes who cannot bear it will be eliminated, and the remaining princes will all be those with certain strength.

Cao Cao is determined to win Jingzhou. Even if Jiangdong Army attacks Jingzhou, he will not give up easily. Jiangdong Army's attack on Jingzhou is also a manifestation of ambition. Sun Ce understands the importance of Jingzhou. If Jiangdong Army wants to compete in the Central Plains, it needs someone

Springboard, and Jingzhou must be obtained, otherwise why would Sun Ce have repeatedly invaded Jiangxia in recent years? As long as Jiangxia is captured, Sun Ce will have the possibility to further capture Jingzhou.

"Command the army to continue attacking the city." Cao Cao ordered. Only continuous siege can expose the flaws of the defenders. Now Xiangyang has exposed its flaws in successive battles.

Neither Zhuge Liang nor Liu Bei truly regarded Cao Cao as an opponent. In Cao Cao's eyes, the most terrifying opponent was Lu Bu.

The reason why Cao Cao reached an alliance with Lu Bu was that he saw the discord between the princes and sooner or later Lu Bu would take advantage of it. He took advantage of this period to expand his own strength as quickly as possible and had the foundation to confront Lu Bu.

Let's talk about Cao's army's violent attack on the city, which not only caused heavy losses to the defenders of Xiangyang, but also defeated Jingzhou's navy reinforcements, making Sun Ce ready to make a move. The biggest threat to Jiangdong's army was the Jingzhou navy. In recent years, Jiangdong's navy has

Unlike the soldiers on land in Jingzhou, the Jingzhou army is unique in its navy. Perhaps the navy lacks resourceful people, but its strength is extremely strong, especially Cai Mao in the Jingzhou navy.

and Zhang Yun.

However, the current Jingzhou navy not only lost a large number of naval forces, Cai Mao died, Zhang Yun was feared by Liu Bei, and no longer had sufficient strength. As long as the Jingzhou navy was defeated, the Jiangdong army could seize Jiangxia.

, and then captured four or even five counties in Jingnan.

The longer Cao Jun was blocked in Xiangyang, the more advantageous it was for Jiangdong Army. During this period, Jiangdong Army had been paying attention to the war in Jingzhou. Sun Ce had to admit that Cao Jun was indeed strong, but Jiangdong Army was not weak either.

, now is the opportunity for Jiangdong's army to attack Jingzhou.

"Gong Jin, the war in Xiangyang is critical now. If we send troops, we will definitely be able to capture Jiangxia. If the four counties of Jingnan and Nanjun fall into my hands, even the elite of Cao's army will not be able to capture Jingzhou from my hands."

Sun Ce's words revealed strong confidence.

Zhou Yu said: "My lord, now it is a critical moment for Cao's army to attack Xiangyang. Sending troops to attack Jiangxia can have an unexpected effect. However, Cao's army is extremely powerful. If I know that my lord has captured most of Jingnan, how can I just give up? There will be a certain conflict between the two parties."

There will be a battle, and Nanjun is the most prosperous place in Jingzhou, so Cao Cao will definitely not give up."

"In Gong Jin's opinion, what should we do?" Sun Ce asked.

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said: "We should contact Lü Bu externally to provide support. If Lü Bu is willing to send troops to respond, Cao Cao will definitely be overwhelmed. Even if the lord captures the four counties of Jingnan, there will be nothing he can do."

Sun Ce said: "When I and the princes led troops to attack Bingzhou, they had completely offended the Marquis of Jin. How can he easily agree to join forces with the Marquis of Jin now?"

"My lord, please be patient. If you send an envoy there, you will definitely gain something." Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"Gong Jin, tell me in detail." Sun Ce saw Zhou Yu's expression and knew that Zhou Yu had already made a plan.

"My lord, just imagine, if Cao Cao captures Jingzhou, his strength will definitely be even stronger. The princes of Jin are sitting in Qingzhou, and Jizhou and other places are powerful. Naturally, they don't want powerful princes to appear. Cao Cao's original agreement with Lu Bu was mostly because of Yuan Shao's

Because of this, Cao Cao gave up helping Yuan Shao to contain Lu Bu, and Lu Bu allowed Cao's army to capture Jingzhou. Now Cao's army is blocked by the Jingzhou army in Xiangyang. According to the current situation, even if there is no internal response for another two months, there is no way to capture Xiangyang, and

After the Marquis of Jin has stabilized Qingzhou and Jizhou, how can he sit back and watch Cao Cao grow stronger? If the lord only needs to send an envoy to make an alliance with the Marquis of Jin, then the Marquis of Jin will definitely agree." Zhou Yu said slowly.

"Okay, based on Gong Jin's words, it seems that Liu Da'er can only hide in Yizhou." Sun Ce said with a smile.
