Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu
Chapter 1746: Two messengers
At this time, Cao Cao was in a dilemma. If he sent a large number of troops to attack Jingzhou, he was worried that the Chang'an Army in Wuguan would be dispatched. When the army attacked Jingzhou, if Nanyang County was breached, it would mean that the army's retreat would be cut off.
"My lord, now the King of Jin has led his troops in Liangzhou and has not returned. Even if the King of Jin wants to help Jiangdong, he will not attack Nanyang County easily." Cheng Yu said.
Xun Yu said: "Otherwise, the King of Jin did not act according to the rules. When the princes' army attacked Huguan, the King of Jin still led the army to attack Jizhou and drove Yuan Shao away from Jizhou after losing his troops. Such actions were considered impossible by the princes at the time.
, but King Jin did this."
Cao Cao nodded solemnly. He was elusive about Lu Bu's character. Things that were often impossible in the eyes of others have become possible in Lu Bu's hands. Now Lu Bu has a strong force in his hands.
The land of Qingzhou is all occupied by Lu Bu, and Zang Ba of Xuzhou has an unclear relationship with Lu Bu. Lu Bu's army can threaten his safety at all times.
"If a large army attacks Jingzhou, it will definitely not be conquered in a short time. I suggest that my lord should send more troops to garrison Wancheng to guard against Lu Bu's troops." Xun You said, cupping his hands.
"Send the order for Man Chong to come." Cao Cao said.
He didn't want to give up the opportunity to attack Jingzhou so easily. If he captured Jingzhou, his strength would be greatly improved.
Giving up the attack on Jingzhou and guarding against Lu Bu's troops would naturally prevent Chang'an's army from easily taking offense. However, in doing so, they would lose a golden opportunity.
After Man Chong received Cao Cao's order, he went to Chang'an that night to try to find out Jia Xu's attitude. It would definitely be good if the two sides could strengthen their alliance at this time.
Sun Quan also sent Lu Su as an envoy to Chang'an to strengthen the alliance with Lu Bu.
Although Lu Su is young, he has won the trust of Sun Quan and is quite strategic. He understands that if he can stabilize his relationship with Lu Bu at this time, he can save Jiangdong from war. For Jiangdong, it is not from Cao Cao.
Instead of seizing Jingzhou in your hands, you will stabilize the existing territory.
Jiangdong's envoy and Cao Cao's envoy arrived in Chang'an almost at the same time.
When Lu Su and Man Chong came to Chang'an, they learned that Lu Bu had pacified the Weili Kingdom and was leading his troops back. This situation made Man Chong a little uneasy. Lu Bu's pacification of Liangzhou would definitely take a long time in the eyes of the princes.
The Qiang people in Liangzhou have been causing trouble for many years. The Han Dynasty sent a large number of troops to attack Liangzhou but failed.
The same thing happened to Lu Bu. It took just a few months to pacify the Qiang people, who were regarded as powerful by the Han people, and also dealt with the Wei Li country that posed a threat to Liangzhou, and captured the king of the Wei Li country alive. This is
The news was exciting for the Han people, but it made Cao Cao even more worried.
The methods and strength shown by Lu Bu were too powerful, which was not good news for the other princes.
Lu Su saw hope in this news. After the King of Jin pacified the Qiang people in Liangzhou, he would definitely not sit back and watch Cao Cao conquer Jingzhou and expand his own strength after returning to Chang'an. Compared with Jiangdong, Lu Bu and Cao Cao would definitely be the first to go to war.
, the two people's territories are close to each other, and although they are now in alliance, they have many precautions against each other.
After Jia Xu saw the envoys of Sun Quan and Cao Cao, he expressed his comfort to both of them without any expression. However, the arrival of Chang'an's army in Wuguan had already made Lu Bu's position clear to a certain extent.
Cao Cao regarded Lu Bu as a serious enemy, and Lu Bu also regarded Cao Cao as his real opponent. Lu Bu would not watch Cao Cao attack Jingzhou. The reason why Cao Cao did not invade Chang'an when Lu Bu attacked Liangzhou was because Chang'an was guarded by a large army.
Secondly, Liangzhou was barren. Even if Lu Bu spent a huge price to pacify Liangzhou, the gains outweighed the losses. What's more, Cao Cao wished that Lu Bu would lose his troops and generals on the battlefield in Liangzhou.
The peace of the war in Liangzhou made Lu Su feel relieved and his mood improved a lot. With Chang'an's army at Wuguan, Cao Cao did not dare to easily send troops into Jingzhou. If he wanted to break through Jiangxia with Jingzhou's troops, it would be difficult for him to do so.
It's very difficult to do.
Jiangdong naturally has to acknowledge this kind of favor. Lu Bu sent a large army to Wuguan without pacifying Liangzhou, which is enough to show that Lu Bu attaches great importance to Jiangdong, whether it is for profit or otherwise. Such actions are enough to show that Lu Bu attaches great importance to Jiangdong.
He is sincere in making friends with Jiangdong.
Before Lu Su left, he was also ordered by Sun Quan to strengthen his alliance with Lu Bu.
If Lu Bu can help Jiangdong survive this crisis, then Jiangdong's Sun family has gradually grown up with Lu Bu's help. Sun Jian was rescued by Lu Bu, and Sun Ce was rescued by Lu Bu's subordinates. Jiangdong was in danger and asked for help again.
On Lu Bu's body.
This kind of kindness is absolutely heavy.
The next day, Jia Xu secretly sent someone to summon Lu Su.
After coming out of Chang'an Mansion, it was already late at night, but Lu Su felt more stable. He even thought about the consequences if Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou at this time. From Jia Xu's tone, he felt
When it comes to Lu Bu's coveting of Nanyang.
Jia Xu would not deceive him on this matter. Chang'an's army would be enough to attack Nanyang, provided that Cao's army attacked Jingzhou at this time.
After Cao Cao's army was held back by Jiangdong's army in Jingzhou, as long as Chang'an's army broke through Nanyang and took advantage of the situation to attack Xudu, it would mean that Cao Cao's many years of hard work would be in vain. Cao Cao did not dare to gamble at this time.
After Chang'an's army failed on the battlefield in Nanyang, there was still an army that shocked the world. If Cao Cao's army failed in this battle, it would really be a complete defeat. Don't look at Cao Cao's current rule of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou and
The importance of Nanyang County, Nan County, Shouchun, and Xudu is just like the importance of Chang'an to Lu Bu at this time.
Lu Su was full of confidence, but Man Chong was not in a good mood. He originally thought that there would be turmoil in Jiangdong and that his side would be able to gain more benefits from this turmoil. Who knew that Lu Bu actually sent troops into Wuguan to intimidate Nanyang?
County, under such circumstances, Cao Jun dared to act rashly. Who can be sure that Lu Bu, a lunatic, would not do that when Cao Jun attacked Jingzhou.
The most indispensable thing under Lu Bu's command is cavalry. If all the cavalry gather together, it will be even more terrifying. When attacking Wancheng, they can use the power of cavalry to raid Xudu, which will be impossible to guard against.
Man Chong also understood that in Lu Bu's eyes, Cao Cao was the greater threat. Lu Bu's territory was close to Cao Cao's, and the two would have a battle sooner or later. Jiangdong was different, far away from Chang'an, and it was Lu Bu's important force to contain Cao Cao.
Naturally, I don’t want Jiangdong to be wiped out by Cao Cao so quickly.
