Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death
Chapter 417 Expanding the scope of war
Facing Sun Quan's inquiry, Lu Xun felt Alexander for a moment. Especially when he saw Sun Quan's eager eyes, he knew that his supreme master was planning to act like a monster again.
Lu Xun knew Sun Quan relatively well. He was the kind of person who would wake up from the cold in the middle of the night and still need to lift the quilt for his friends. Nowadays, there are constant riots in Soochow and Shu Han, but the situation of the Northern Expedition is very good. Sun Quan naturally feels uncomfortable.
But at this moment, even though he knew what Sun Quan wanted to hear, Lu Xun still answered bravely,
"Supreme Lord, in my opinion, causing trouble with Xishu now is really not worth the gain. After all, our military strength cannot be transferred to the west, and Xishu has already taken precautions, so insisting on causing trouble to it is not worth the gain."
"The best choice now is to take advantage of Xi Shu to divert Cao Wei's attention in Guanzhong, and find a way to go north to capture Hefei..."
Upon hearing Lu Xun's explanation, Sun Quan quickly frowned and stared at Lu Xun for a closer look.
There have been a lot of rumors about Lu Xun in Soochow in the past two years, most of which say that Lu Xun is not capable and is just lucky. Moreover, he is unfaithful, filial, benevolent, and just a despicable person who cannot take on big responsibilities.
These rumors gradually spread, and many of Lu Xun's political opponents also used them to attack Lu Xun.
Although Sun Quan didn't believe this rumor at first, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart after it had been rumored for so long. Especially now, when Lu Xun began to propose conservative strategies in the face of his inquiries, Sun Quan became even more suspicious.
"Bo Yan, do you think we are still capable of reconciling with Xishu now? After they take Guanzhong, will they really agree to divide the world equally with us?"
Sun Quan was silent for a long time, and finally spoke to Lu Xun. Facing Sun Quan's question, Lu Xun didn't know how to respond, so he just stood there awkwardly.
Sun Quan was right. Even if he didn't stab him in the back now, it would be impossible for the Shu Han to let him go.
Especially the sneak attack last year, for the sake of one million stones of grain, the Shu Han court gave it a face, and both parties said it was a misunderstanding. He, the Han Wuhou, was not demoted again because of this, and it seemed that Shu Han had forgotten the past.
Less than half a month later, at the suggestion of Shangshu Ling Jiang Wan, Li Hui, the governor of Nanzhong, was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou. This is a very clear signal, representing the attitude of the Shu Han court.
You'll be the next one to smoke!
Sun Quan is not a fool. It is impossible for a fool to manage Soochow to this point. He knew very well that once the Shu Han captured Guanzhong, the next step to attack would definitely be Jingzhou.
He didn't want to sit still and wait for death. He had to rely on Cao Wei to deal with Shu Han.
"I can't sit back and watch Western Shu grow bigger. I have a deep hatred with the Lord of Shu, which is impossible to resolve." Sun Quan looked at Lu Xun and said calmly.
"I have sent an envoy to Luoyang to make an agreement with Lord Wei to attack Western Shu together..."
"Your Majesty, I know what to do." Lu Xun sighed, and could only watch as another great opportunity to win Hefei was lost.
What a great opportunity, but I had to give it up because of my greater hatred against Xi Shu.
Lu Xun reluctantly handed over his hands, then turned around and walked out. He must rush to Jiangling as soon as possible to make plans for Sun Quan's request.
Seeing Lu Xun leaving, Sun Quan's eyes flickered for a few times, and then he murmured,
"Would you like to seize the opportunity to capture Hefei? It's not impossible."

At the same time, Xinpi also returned to Luoyang with the situation in Guanzhong and Sima Yi's request for help.
As soon as he returned to Luoyang, he was immediately summoned into the palace, and then met the mentally and physically haggard Cao Rui. After performing the courtesy of the emperor and his ministers, Cao Rui immediately couldn't wait to ask about the situation in Guanzhong.
When he heard that Weibei had been completely lost and Chang'an might not be able to survive for half a year, Cao Rui's face quickly darkened. The war situation in the northwest was beyond his imagination. In just a short time, half of Guanzhong had been lost.
The original plan was to hold out for at least a year, waiting for the Kwantung armies to rest before rushing to reinforce them. But now it seems that we have no choice but to send troops to Guanzhong in advance.
Because Ma Su made a big fuss in Yingchuan last year, the morale of the Wei army in the Central Plains is still very low until now. In addition, Yingchuan still needed soldiers and horses to garrison, and Cao Rui even began to recruit soldiers to fill the fields.
"Your Majesty, the situation in Guanzhong is already very bad. Moreover, Ma Su of Western Shu has already crossed the Xinghe River. I'm afraid it's not enough to send troops to support Guanzhong." Xinpi was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth to make suggestions to Cao Rui.
"It's Ma Su again! Why isn't this old guy dead?" Cao Rui became even more angry when he heard Ma Su's name. Of all the battle reports of frontline defeats he had heard so far, seven out of ten were related to him.
There are three more games directed by this guy.
Of course, while hating Ma Su and Zhuge Liang, Cao Rui also deeply envied Liu Chan. Why is it that he came to the throne in his teens, and this guy has a dedicated and capable Minister Tuogu, while I have to fight with those veterans from the previous dynasty every day?
Zhuge Liang and Ma Su, if only he were given one, he, Cao Rui, would have unified the world long ago, and then severely suppressed those annoying clans. Not that the Central Plains is as big as it is now, but it has almost been forced to move its capital by a small country in the southwest.
Of course, Cao Rui did not completely lose his mind. After venting his anger, he calmed down again and asked,
"George is planning to come out?"
"Your Majesty, now we cannot limit the battlefield to Guanzhong. We must expand the scope." Xinpi cupped his hands and said seriously,
"Ma Su of Western Shu is a famous general in the world. Bai Qi is still alive. I really shouldn't compete with him."
"But although Western Shu has now sent more than 100,000 troops and gathered in Guanzhong, this is already the vast majority of their troops. Whether it is Shuofang in the north or Jingzhou in Nanyang, the defenses in most places in Western Shu are already empty."
"The current plan is to unite with Soochow and send people to Nanzhong and Yongliang at the same time to start a rebellion of Nanman and Qiang and harass the rear of Western Shu. At the same time, order Bingyou and You to unite with the Qiang and Hu people in the north to open up the Hetao area. The second battlefield.”
"At the same time, Yingchuan troops were ordered to attack Kunyang in a large scale and launch an attack on Nanyang. As a result, Xishu was short of troops, and Ma Su was only one person, and he could not take care of all the places."
"As a result, over time, Xi Shu will inevitably lose sight of one thing and be exhausted from running for its life. Even if Zhuge Liang and Ma Su are unwilling to withdraw their troops, Xi Shu will be unable to support the continued fighting."
As a veteran of the former dynasty, Xinpi was not good at leading troops in battles, but he still had strategic vision. From the current point of view, the Shu Han basically has all their wealth in Guanzhong, and other places must be empty.
So now that Guanzhong has the main force of Shu Han and the world's number one general Ma Su, it is basically impossible to make a breakthrough. But as long as the scope of the war is expanded and the Shu and Han are at war on all sides, the pressure in Guanzhong will be relieved.
After all, no matter how strong you are, Ma Su, you are only one person. With wars breaking out in so many places at the same time, how can you still quell them all by yourself?
