Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu
Chapter 1844: Cao Cao's determination
"My lord is right. There is a close relationship between Jiangdong Sun Quan and King Jin. If the alliance with Jiangdong fails, King Jin will become suspicious of each other after learning about it. Sun Quan has always hoped that our army can compete with King Jin's army on the battlefield.
We met." Cheng Yulang said.
This time is an opportunity to attack Lu Bu, but it is definitely not the best time. At this time, large armies continue to gather around Chang'an, and the number of soldiers still remains at 20,000. Twenty thousand people are fighting against 100,000 Cao's troops. It seems that
Chang'an is at a disadvantage, but that is not the case. Chang'an is surrounded by Xiongguan guards. Once a war breaks out, reinforcements will come at any time, such as Lu Bu's Wolf Cavalry, Sun Archer Cavalry, and Grassland Cavalry. If such powerful mobile forces appear,
, what kind of turmoil it will cause on the battlefield.
"What Zhongde said is true. Sun Quan succeeded Sun Ce as King of Wu, but he did not report it to the court. Such behavior clearly shows that he does not take the dignity of the Han Dynasty into consideration." Cao Cao said.
Xun Yu secretly lamented that although this was not the best time to attack Yizhou, Lu Bu was in Yizhou. After missing this opportunity, it would be difficult to find a good opportunity to attack Chang'an again, but Cao Cao had
This choice was also expected. Cao Cao's original plan was for Lu Bu to attack Yizhou, but he led his troops to attack Jingzhou and take advantage of the situation to wipe out Jiangdong.
After conquering Jingzhou and Jiangdong, it was of great help to Cao Cao's strength. At this time, Lu Bu was leading his troops in Yizhou, and there were only 20,000 troops around Chang'an. Cao Cao could calmly let go.
Xun Yu could even think of why there were only such a number of soldiers and horses near Chang'an. He was worried that Cao Cao's army would not attack Jingzhou, so he did it deliberately so that Cao Cao would not feel the threat from Chang'an. If Cao Cao's army attacked Chang'an, he only needed an order.
Then cavalry could be recruited from various places. At this time, Liangzhou was under Lu Bu's rule.
Xun Yu suddenly felt the urgency of the situation. If Cao Cao could not gain enough advantage in this battle against Jiangdong Army, he would be in a huge passive position when fighting Lu Bu in the future.
"My lord, I will go up to the throne and rebuke Sun Quan for his crimes, lead the troops of benevolence and righteousness to pacify Jingzhou and bring peace to Jiangdong." Xun You said.
Cao Cao nodded. In fact, he was also worried. Lu Bu's attack on Yizhou was within Cao Cao's plan. The key was that he wanted Lu Bu to attack Yizhou from the direction of Bajun when he attacked Yizhou. In this way
As a result, the defenders of Yizhou were able to calmly dispatch their troops to block the troops from Chang'an, and also allowed Lu Bu to fall into the battlefield of Yizhou. Unexpectedly, the dangerous Jianmen Pass was like this.
fell into Lu Bu's hands.
It feels a bit incredible. After the advantage of Jianmen Pass is gone, Yizhou will face a greater crisis. Cao Cao also knows that it is time for him to take action. As expected, after this battle, Yizhou will
Nothing remains, Yizhou is rich and the terrain is dangerous. When they lose Jianmen Pass, they will face Lu Bu's elite army.
The next day, in the court hall of Xudu, Cao Cao led hundreds of civil and military officials to pay homage and said: "Sun Quan from Jiangdong is too ambitious. The reason why His Majesty had no choice but to leave Jingzhou was because of Jiangdong. Now Sun Quan has hoarded 50,000 troops and horses in Jiangxia.
, whose ambition is clearly revealed, I sincerely request the Holy One to issue an edict to put down the rebels in Jiangdong."
As soon as this statement came out, the court was in an uproar. More officials had no access to the core of Cao's army. They were said to be senior officials in the court. In Cao Cao's eyes, they were just supporting the court's face.
"What the Prime Minister said is very true. The rebels from Jiangdong have repeatedly invaded Jingzhou, which is a great disaster." Officials in the court echoed it from time to time.
Liu Cong said: "The Prime Minister will have to worry about this matter."
The clear voice gave the officials in the court the feeling of being immature. If Liu Cong had enough means, as long as he wrested military power from Cao Cao, how would Cao Cao dare to be so arrogant in the court? However, many people also understood that doing so
The possibility of success is very small. Even though Xun Yu fought against Cao Cao before and became king, he has always been a minister under Cao Cao. He has always followed Cao Cao before, and now he is the minister.
Naturally, there were officials loyal to the Han Dynasty in the court, but their loyalty could only be hidden in secret. Facing the powerful Cao Cao, if they took action before they had enough strength, they might bring Cao Cao's wrath.
At that time, Cao Cao had absolute control over Xu Du, and Xu Du's Ling Man Chong was even more ruthless when he was governing Xu Du.
When the Jingzhou court went to Xudu, if its strength had not been severely damaged, it might have been able to compete with Cao Cao. When they came to Xudu, the power of the family had been reduced by seventy-seven times due to the war.
Eighty-eight, there are many powerful aristocratic families under Cao Cao's rule, and they will not easily give the aristocratic families in Jingzhou a chance to rise under Cao Cao's rule.
Cai did not understand the truth. However, Cao Cao was extremely defensive in this regard. The guards in the palace were also soldiers in Cao Cao's army. In this way, the emperor acted under Cao Cao's supervision.
Liu Cong was still young and did not know how to win people's hearts, so they could only wait for the opportunity in secret.
However, if Cao Cao can pacify Jiangdong and Jingzhou, it will be of great benefit to the court. After all, they also have a powerful neighbor, King Jin.
Cao Cao put this matter on the surface and said that he was ready to send troops. As for Liu Cong's consent, it was just a superficial matter. Liu Cong had no choice in this matter.
The imperial edict of the Xudu court spread throughout the world at an extremely fast speed.
In Jiangdong, Sun Quan felt a little solemn after learning that Lu Bu led an army to capture Jianmen Pass. The reason why Cao Jun did not dare to attack Jingzhou easily was because he was worried about Chang'an's army. What Sun Quan hoped to do most was to be able to fight with Chang'an.
The army united to attack Cao Cao's army, and then divided Cao Cao's territory.
As a monarch, it is natural to consider issues from one's own perspective. This is understandable. However, how could Lu Bu act for the benefit of Jiangdong? Jiangdong has a close relationship with Chang'an now. After Lu Bu captures Yizhou, there will definitely be another
It's a different story.
Jiangdong is not close to Lu Bu's rule, which is why Jiangdong's army is relieved to alliance with Lu Bu. However, after occupying Yizhou, this situation will change dramatically. They can attack by going down the river from Yizhou.
Jingzhou, as a result, Jiangdong's terrain advantage will be greatly weakened.
This is also one of the reasons why Jiangdong and other princes jointly attacked Huguan after Lu Bu captured Chang'an. Jiangdong did not want to face the threat from Yizhou. They would not worry when Liu Zhang was in Yizhou.
