Three Kingdoms

Human desires are always endless until the day they fall completely.

When Fei Qian and Cao Cao finally faced each other, the happiest person was not anyone else, but Sun Quan. Perhaps it was too much to say that he was gloating over misfortunes, but it was true that he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. After all, Sun Quan had been holding back in Jiangdong for a long time, so long that he himself thought that he might have become mouldy.

The weather in Jiangdong starts to rain in various ways after March.

It rained once or twice, which was refreshing, but as time went by, when he saw mildew spots of various colors popping up quietly in every corner of the house, Sun Quan always felt a turmoil in his heart. An irritable mood, as if I am gradually getting moldy.

When the news that Fei Qian sent troops to Hangu Pass finally reached Sun Quan, Sun Quan drank directly from the afternoon to the evening that day, and then drank until he became unconscious. But what happened next made Sun Quan feel as if he was scratching his heart with a hundred claws. He was so anxious that he seemed to be about to fight, but both sides stopped at the last moment. What on earth was going on?

While waiting, Jingzhou became lively...

This made Sun Quan's heart suddenly move again.

Jiangxia.

It was once a place that both Sun Jian and Sun Ce could not forget. However, Sun Quan revealed a little bit about his intention to invade, but found everyone's opposition.

"Brothers are fighting against each other," Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan and said slowly, "If there are foreign enemies at this time, we must join hands with each other to defend against foreign enemies... The Lord's move will not only win over Jiangxia, but also make Jingxiang wary." , is definitely not advisable. 』

Lu Su also nodded and said: "Although Jingzhou Mu is old now, he has been working hard for many years and has great expectations. In addition, sending troops at this time will inevitably lead to unknown troops, which is quite inappropriate. I hope my lord will think again." 』

"How can one learn from Wu Ming?" Sun Quan said, "Jingzhou harmed my father and brother, so I raised a righteous soldier!" ” Sun Quan was a little angry, especially when he saw that even Lu Su, who usually supported him, said this.

Zhang Zhao frowned.

Revenge actually doesn't mean much. Many times the so-called "revenge" is just a cover, just like when Sun Ce raised the flag of revenge, but he didn't say that he must fight to the death. Once it is built, it is standard equipment, so how can it be used again and again? Take it out and shake it again and again?

Furthermore, revenge is a personal matter after all. Just like in history, Liu Bei promised to avenge Guan Yu, and then got involved with Zhang Fei, and even lost the capital accumulated in Sichuan and Shu for more than ten years in Yiling. But then you didn’t shout for revenge every day?

In the face of the overall situation, personal grievances are always secondary.

"We also know your lord's intention..." Lu Su said, "The world is in turmoil now, and it's time to save up." Nowadays, the dispute in Jiangxia has not yet become clear. Why not wait and see for a while, or make some preparations, and wait for the flaw to be revealed before making a decision in one fell swoop. 』

Zhang Zhao also nodded in agreement with Lu Su's prudent words.

Sun Quan looked around, then gritted his teeth, and finally suppressed his restless heart, and said: "In this case, I will follow your words..."

Zhang Zhao nodded and went back with an expression that showed that a boy could finally be taught something. Lu Su cupped his hands and was about to leave, but Sun Quan stopped him and left him alone.

"Zijing..." Sun Quan clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the sky, "Please tell me frankly, why are you unwilling to send troops?" "To be honest, if we talk about savings now, we still have some savings. If we talk about soldiers, there are not many soldiers. At the same time, Jiangxia is also an important area to control Jiangdong. If you go down the river from Jiangxia, you can attack Wujun and other places. If Jiangxia is taken, Jiangdong will naturally be safer. Sun Quan could see this, and I believe Zhang Zhao and others could also see it, but the problem was that Zhang Zhao and others were still unwilling to send troops.

The so-called reasons why brothers are fighting against each other and being wary are just like Sun Quan saying that he would send troops in the name of revenge. They are all used to deceive people. If we don't take the opportunity to do something when brothers are fighting against each other, why should we wait for the brothers to reconcile? Will we send troops again? The vigilance is even more ridiculous. When did Jingzhou stop being vigilant about Jiangdong? Could it be that if Sun Quan did not send troops, there would be nothing, but if Sun Quan sent troops, there would be nothing?

But Sun Quan knew that even if he asked, Zhang Zhao would not tell the truth. He would definitely still use other words to evade him, as if he was still a child.

So Sun Quan only asked Lu Su.

Lu Su was silent for a moment and said, "My Lord, does he know the current season?" 』

Sun Quan was speechless. After a while, he burst into laughter. Then he cupped his hands to Lu Su and said, "I was negligent... Thank you Zijing for your advice..."

Lu Su returned the gift quickly, saying he didn't dare. Then he looked at Sun Quan, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't and left again.

Sun Quan could probably guess what Lu Su wanted to say, but just as Lu Su guessed, Sun Quan didn't like to hear it, so Lu Su didn't say anything at all, and everyone saved some affection and dignity.

Yes, face.

But what is underneath the face? !

Sun Quan sat with his eyes closed, his hands on his thighs, and the muscles on his cheeks jumped.

When Lu Su said "season", Sun Quan understood that it was not that these guys didn't know the benefits of Jiang Xia, but that these people felt that they had to get the benefits in front of them first!

It is now the turn of spring and summer, and it is also the busiest time in the fields. Weeding, watering, top dressing, repairing houses and sheds, etc. are all done in the fields anyway. Naturally, it is impossible and unwilling to do so. The manpower was taken away to support Sun Quan's so-called "war of revenge."

For these Jiangdong gentry families, the things in their own manors are truly guaranteed to be obtained. However, it depends on the situation in Jiangxia. They may not gain much despite their efforts. In comparison, it is natural to ensure first. If your own interests are not damaged, then talk about other things...

Therefore, Sun Quan's proposal had little support, and it became inevitable. Of course, Lu Su's subtext was that it might be okay to wait until after the autumn harvest before talking about this matter.

But the question is, will the hussar generals Fei Qian and Sikong Cao Cao wait until everyone on Sun Quan's side is ready?

What does surprise mean?

Sun Quan held his breath.

You must have generals and soldiers under your own control!

Must have!

Otherwise, such frustrating days will never end!

Sun Quan made up his mind and was ready to immediately start looking for some civilian generals to promote and build his own team. This idea is not wrong, but Sun Quan still did not think it through completely, so that hidden dangers were laid...

……o(︶︿︶)o……

Countless pieces of information, like flowing water, are gathering in Luoyang, Heluo. Not only for Cao Cao, but also for Guanzhong and Beidi, and even follow-up information about the Jianning area reported by Pang Tong from Sichuan and Shu.

With the help of Li Hui's uncle, local snake Cuan Xi, Jianning successfully instigated Meng Yan to rebel. Well, he was indeed not a cute guy. Well, Meng Huo. Meng Huo was just a small captain at this time. , on the contrary, Meng Yan is more famous.

Meng Yan defected before the battle, which naturally caught some of the remaining resistance forces in Jianning by surprise. In the end, there was not much suspense about the development of the situation in Jianning...

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Fei Qian.

As for the snow area, because of the long distance and the fact that there was no message transmission network at the station, no new information was transmitted. However, Yang Fu has always been calm and should be proceeding step by step. Most likely There won't be any big problem.

Xiqiang is generally stable. I don’t know whether it is because they have moved too much over the years and are weak, or because they have successively eliminated several leader-level figures. Xiqiang is now scattered and out of control. Under Jia Xu’s control, It couldn't even create a bubble, so Fei Qian had nothing to worry about.

In Xianbei in the north, although Budugen defeated Kebineng, the losses to itself were also very large. Coupled with the soldiers stationed in the Yinshan area, the overall situation was pretty good.

Overall, at this stage, Fei Qian's surroundings have finally stabilized, and the only thing he has to face is the current direction of Cao Cao.

Fei Qian had no way to fully predict the impact of his actions, nor could he view the current situation from an omniscient and omnipotent perspective. He could only rely on his own abilities to move forward as cautiously as possible, so ever After Fei Qian and Xun You discussed, they sent Zhao Yun, Zhang Chen and others to make a feint attack to confuse the opponent, and on the other hand, they also used it to observe Cao Cao's arrangement.

The clarity of the battlefield is always a big issue in war.

Just like the real-time strategy games of later generations, it does not mean that all masters do good reconnaissance, but when most low-level players fail, it is often due to lack of reconnaissance, missing a dragon tower, and missing a dark temple. Palace, may affect the entire battle situation.

Now that Zhang Chen and Zhao Yun are backing off, Fei Qian is naturally relieved. Zhang Chen and his party represented nearby Hanoi. Cao Jun did not deploy a strong force. Cao Jun only pursued self-protection in Hanoi and did not make arrangements for Luoyang or Hangu to attempt a sneak attack.

As for Zhao Yun, he unexpectedly encountered Xia Houyuan and defeated Xia Houyuan!

This undoubtedly relieved a lot of pressure for Fei Qian.

Of course, this is only based on Zhang Chen's detection and Cao Jun's current reaction. If Cao Cao has redeployed his deployment after this, it is another matter.

If Cao Cao spread suspicion and used false appearances to deceive Zhang Chen and Zhao Yun, it is not completely impossible, but after all, the possibility is relatively low, because the price is very high, so big that even a little carelessness can lead to a complete loss. It was in a state of collapse, so if Cao Cao hadn't been desperate, he definitely wouldn't have made such an arrangement.

Therefore, at least at this moment, the entire map around Heluo is transparent enough for Fei Qian.

Only those who understand cavalry will fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of cavalry. Speaking of which, the cavalry is a bit like a Chinese chess horse. It pulls the opponent's front line with repeated horizontal jumps. It advances and retreats quickly and is very flexible. However, one of its weaknesses is not to be blocked by the horse's legs. The second is not to be forced into a corner.

Fei Qian is now in Luoyang, which means he can move in three directions. There are so many changes that even Cao Cao can't fully judge Fei Qian's specific target direction. He can only proceed on the entire front in the north and south. Assist in defense, and ignore the weak points in the east-west direction.

On the contrary, if Fei Qian chooses one of these three directions, then the original change will naturally be reduced to one-third, which is naturally welcomed by Cao Cao and easier to target. On the contrary, for Fei Qian This undoubtedly reduces the space for movement, which is not conducive to fully displaying the threatening power of the cavalry.

Now, Hanoi's feint attack and Yanzhou's defeat are like sweeping out two roads on the chessboard, and at the same time spreading out a larger space for movement. Under such circumstances, Fei Qian believes that the conditions for going south to Yuzhou are I can finally be said to be mature...

Speaking of which, Cao Cao's current military situation is actually worse than that in history.

Although Cao Cao's army was historically composed of four parties, there were still quite a few places where he was quite good, including Hedong and Hanoi, the restored Guanzhong, the originally populous Yuzhou and Jizhou, and the fierceness of the Qingzhou soldiers. With the massive legacy left by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, Cao Cao was simply at his peak during Red Cliff!

After Red Cliff, the road to supporting war with war was cut off. Naturally, Cao Cao's internal conflicts broke out, causing Cao Cao to move downward from that time, switching from offense to defense.

But now, Fei Qian has occupied Guanzhong and started planning and arrangements earlier, making the economy and armaments stronger than Cao Cao at this stage. From this reconnaissance contact, we can know that Cao Cao's overall strength is at least higher than that in history. Nearly one-third is missing, the equipment is disorganized, and equipment is lacking. After continuous fighting, it is inevitable that the local defense force will be old and weak but not strong and strong.

Even so, compared to ordinary princes, Cao Cao, who has been in a state of war for a long time, kept fighting all the way, and became more and more skilled in fighting, his existing strength cannot be ignored, especially the infantry. If you compare Feiqian's infantry with Cao Cao's infantry, they may be better in terms of equipment, but they may not be able to match the madness and bloody bravery when facing battle.

Therefore, it is not easy to conquer the city where Cao Jun is stationed, but if you are just passing by to make soy sauce, haha...

Making soy sauce also requires skills, otherwise you will only be stained with black oil on your hands.

If Fei Qian wants to reach Xu County, there are three places where he must break through head-on. One is Yangcheng Mountain, the other is naturally Yangcheng, then Yangzhai, and finally he can reach Xu County.

Yangcheng Mountain and Yangcheng were integrated into one, and Xiahou Dun was probably stationed for defense, while Yangzhai was the home base of the Yingchuan gentry. Most of them were the same as Xu County, and Xun Yu was responsible for dispatching troops and generals.

"Let Zhang Wenyuan be the front and Zhao Zilong be the rear..." Fei Qian stood at the top of Luoyang City and ordered, "Let's go out tomorrow!" 』
