Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 2337 Xiling is in crisis

Sun Qian's instructions to Liu Bei on the battlefield for the decisive battle with the Chang'an Army excited the officials in the court. They did not expect that Liu Bei would be able to think of Xu Du's court and the situation on the Yizhou battlefield at the critical moment. Naturally, they I know a thing or two about it. The serial ballista showed a terrifying side on the battlefield in Yizhou.

Xu Du ordered Man Chong to take over the manufacturing method of the serial ballista. It was related to major military affairs, so he had to be cautious. Although the officials in the DPRK were somewhat dissatisfied with this matter, they were still quite wary of Man Chong's methods. I can put my dissatisfaction in my heart, but as long as Cao Jun's strength can be stronger, he will have a greater chance of winning when facing Chang'an Army in the future.

After Cai learned that it was the manufacturing method of the Liannu chariot, she wanted to take it for herself, but Cai understood that in the peaceful Xudu court, Cao Cao still made the real decision.

The Cai family and the officials in Jingzhou thought about starting with the army in the city. The generals in the army were loyal to Cao Cao, and they did not hesitate to win over the Cai family.

Cai Cao could naturally guess Cao Cao's original intention of supporting Liu Cong to become the emperor of the Han Dynasty. What he valued was what kind of benefits Liu Cong could bring to him after he became the emperor. In the court, although Cao Cao respected Liu Cong, when it came to some important matters, Cao Cao was a little arbitrary.

And after Cao Cao was named prime minister, he became a very popular minister.

After Man Chong secretly protected Sun Qian, he sent fast horses to inform Cao Cao overnight.

The situation on the battlefield in Jingzhou is naturally no secret in Xudu. Cao's army was able to win successive victories on the battlefield in Jingzhou, which made officials in the DPRK and Central Government rejoice. When the war reached a stalemate, a different tone appeared in the DPRK and Central Government. Many officials support the idea of ​​withdrawing troops. If the war in Jingzhou lasts for a long time, the consumption of food, grass and baggage will be huge.

People in the court were in a state of flux, Man Chong was under great pressure, and Xun Yu, who was in charge of mobilizing food and fodder for the army, also felt the urgency.

Although Xun Yu had different views on the matter of proclaiming himself king and duke, he hoped to see a powerful Han Dynasty. If Cao Jun could win in Jingzhou, it would be extremely beneficial to the current situation. The important meaning is that only victory can make Cao's army stronger.

At this time, Lu Bu had unified the north. Under Lu Bu's unique system, the troops under his rule were extremely convinced of Lu Bu. After pacifying Yizhou, Lu Bu would not be willing to let others occupy the original land and attack in the next step. The direction must be the Central Plains.

After Jingzhou is stabilized, more troops can be dispatched to the battlefield for a decisive battle with the Chang'an army.

Xun Yu had deep feelings for the Han Dynasty. He didn't want the Han Dynasty to become weaker in the successive turmoils. It would be great if the Han Dynasty could get a formation in Cao Cao's hands.

However, over the years, as Cao Cao's strength gradually improved, he could feel Cao Cao's restlessness, especially after Lu Bu and Sun Ce became kings one after another. He spoke out at the critical moment to prevent Cao Cao from wanting to declare himself king, which must have caused confusion. Cao Cao was suspicious, but in order to revitalize the big man, he didn't care even if he was suspicious of Cao Cao.

Not all aristocratic families are able to disregard everything for the benefit of the family. There are always a very small number of people who can make more efforts for the revitalization of the Han Dynasty, even at the cost of their lives. Xun Yu is such a person. Others, he has the heart to revitalize the Han Dynasty.

If Xu Du's court can be stable now, it only needs to defeat Lu Bu to revitalize the Han Dynasty.

When dealing with Cao Cao, Xun Yu was also a little intolerant. After all, Cao Cao was kind to him, and it was precisely because of Cao Cao's respect that he gradually reached his current position.

At this time, Xun Yu had absolute prestige in the Xu capital city. Perhaps it was because he had spoken out against Cao Cao before, which attracted the friendship of many officials in the court. On this point, Xun Yu was extremely cautious, and Cao Cao valued him.

It does not mean that you can tolerate his misbehavior in the territory. As a wise minister, you should avoid the suspicion of the monarch as much as possible.

Some officials even expressed the idea of ​​seizing the opportunity to seize power and revitalize the Han Dynasty. Xun Yu dismissed these officials. Even if Cao Cao led the army to conquer Jingzhou, what would happen if he controlled Xu Du? The soldiers in the army would obey the imperial court.

Do you follow the orders? Doing so will bring an even greater shock to Xu Du.

The current Han Dynasty cannot do without Cao Cao. If Cao Cao becomes disheartened towards the Han Dynasty, there will be more serious consequences.

After Liu Biao sent troops to sneak attack Yanzhou, and then Liu Biao became the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao no longer had the enthusiasm for the Han Dynasty, and he did not have much respect for the Han Dynasty. In troubled times, strength was respected, and he had a more powerful

The more strength you have, the more power you can gain.

Just like Lu Bu, he openly proclaimed himself king without the approval of the court. After becoming strong, Lu Bu no longer paid attention to the majesty of the court, but the court could only let Lu Bu do what he wanted. Now that Lu Bu has occupied Yizhou, his strength has been even greater.

With the improvement, I'm afraid Lu Bu will go even further.

This was also what Xun Yu was most worried about. Xu Du's court gave his ministers hope for the rise of the Han Dynasty. If Lu Bu proclaimed himself emperor, it would be the biggest impact on the current situation. However, Xun Yu could not stop this from happening. Lu Bu was already in power.

Unless Lu Bu can be defeated on the battlefield.

After Sun Qian learned the news about Yizhou, he fell into a long silence. The death of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang meant that Liu Bei's power in Yizhou was completely over. Thinking of all the past, Sun Qian felt sad.

, how he hoped that Liu Bei could continue to persevere on the battlefield in Yizhou as before.

Sun Qian's hatred for Lu Bu could not be increased, but he could only place all his hopes on Cao Jun. Only if Cao Jun defeated Lu Bu would he avenge Liu Bei.

Sun Qian knew what role the ballistas played for Cao's army. He planned to stay in Xudu. He wanted to see how Chang'an's army failed under Cao's army.

Sun Qian had been to Xudu as an envoy and was no stranger to Xudu. He even had a courtyard belonging to Liu Bei's forces in the city. This was also convenient for envoys to use when coming to Xudu. However, now there is news of Liu Bei's defeat on the Yizhou battlefield.

After hearing the news, these people must have left.

In Xiling City, Zhou Yu felt very heavy. The successive battles made Jiangdong's army pay a heavy price, and the army in the city was reduced sharply to 30,000 people.

Of course, Cao Jun, who was responsible for the siege, paid a higher price. During the attack on Xiling, the casualty ratio between Jiangdong Army and Cao Jun was one to three. However, Zhou Yu could clearly feel that Cao Jun was gradually getting stronger when attacking the city.
