After raiding Jiameng Pass and creating chaos in Yizhou, Cao Cao arrived in Mianzhu, and the people of Yizhou slowly reacted. With elite soldiers and good generals to defend it, it is not a matter of time to break through Mianzhu. Moreover, Li Dian and Cao Chun, who were guarding Hanzhong, also sent news, saying that there were changes in Sanguan and Chencang plank roads, and they were afraid that the Guanzhong army was coming.

Although after winning Hanzhong, Cao Cao built camps at the end of Hanzhong in various mountain roads in the Qinling Mountains to prevent Liu Bei's army, but he was still worried about it. There are Sanguan in the west and Wuguan in the east, all in the hands of Zhao Yun, and there are countless valleys in between. Who knows where the army will come out one day. There is also Yanzhou, which is also in a hurry. Although it has dragged down the footsteps of the Han army, if he has been here for a long time, who knows if Yanzhou can hold it.

Cao Cao felt that he was already very fast. Even took Hanzhong and Bajun, did not stay for a moment, and raided Jiameng, and then all the way to Mianzhu. As long as Mianzhu and Luo County are gone, Shu County will no longer have anything to do with it. Liu Zhang has become a turtle in an urn, and he can be caught. It's just that I'm fast, and Liu Bei is also fast. If he did it to Yizhou, he attacked his old nest Yanzhou. I also pretended to write a letter to myself. Cao Cao felt that what Liu Bei could do, he was not bad. Aren't Yan and Henan also thriving under his governance?

The Han Dynasty was already crumbling and was about to fall apart. This is already the last year of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and it is recognized by the people of the world. Countless people are waiting for the change of dynasty, countless people go out of the mountains to find the master, and countless people want to rescue it again. Cao Cao prides himself on being the best candidate to help the world, and his ambition is to sweep away the princes of the world. After defeating Yuan Shao, there was already a climate of unifying the north. This was something that Cao Cao had not thought of.

At the beginning, Guo Jia offered advice and asked Cao Cao to take advantage of Liu Bei and Yuan Shao's big fight, and go south to take Jing first and then profit. After stabilizing these two places, wait for the north to divide the victory and defeat, and then choose the opportunity to attack and seize Guanliang or the Central Plains. In this way, the world can be found. This strategy was deeply praised by Cao Cao, so he gladly adopted it.

Who would have thought that plans are not as fast as change. He only got half of Jingzhou, and Yizhou is still fighting. And Liu Bei in the north has swept Yuan Shao and the Guanzhong lords into the garbage heap of history. It's as fast as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. To be honest, Cao Cao himself had guessed that Yuan Shao would not be Liu Bei's opponent. But he never imagined that Yuan Shao would lose so quickly. In Cao Cao's plan, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei had to fight hard for at least a few years before they could distinguish the winner. By then, Cao Cao himself had almost pacified the south. As a result, Yuan Shao was defeated in the middle. The main force of the first battle of Jieqiao was wiped out by Liu Bei. Since then, the defeat has been irretrievable.

If Cao Cao had known that this would be the case, he would definitely choose to help Yuan Shao to resist Liu Bei. It's a pity that he doesn't have the insight to see through the fog of the future. That's why things got to this point. But ask Cao Cao if he will regret it. Cao Cao will tell you for sure that he has no regrets. Plans are just plans, and if there is a deviation in the specific execution, no one is to blame. If you want to blame, you can only blame Liu Bei for being too demonic.

Cao Cao thought, Sun Wentai in Yangzhou is afraid that it is not a taste in his heart. Watching the two tigers fight, it turned out that Yuan Shao was just a cat, and he was killed by Liu Xuande with one blow. Hehe, Xuande is already very difficult to control. If you don't believe Sun Wentai, you can sit still.

Cao Cao was in the camp under Mianzhu City, and after careful consideration, he called Cao Hong and said to him: "Zilian, Liu Zhang has a heavy army here, you lead the troops to Qianwei, attack Wuyang, and after leaving Shu County, Liu Zhang will be chaotic." At that time, Yizhou will be at your fingertips. So he divided Cao Hong to lead the division to attack Qianwei.

He also summoned the messenger to write to Sun Jian, and sincerely asked the two alliances to repair their good relations together to reject Liu Bei. "Xuande is very difficult to control, and now he is raising troops to attack Yan, and the momentum is like a bamboo. I am far away in Yizhou, and it is difficult to save it. If Yanzhou is lost, Yuzhou is also in danger. If Yan and Yu are lost, my brother is also in danger. I have the danger of Jing and Yi, if Xuande goes south again, he will attack Jiangdong. If the brother didn't plot earlier, Jiangdong would no longer be owned by the Sun family. I would like to ask for an alliance to fight against Xuande. The Emperor and the Queen of Heaven are witnessing my oath. ”

Sun Jian was in Yangzhou, got Cao Cao's letter, and looked at it seriously. After reading it, he took a long breath, and he felt that what Cao Cao said was very reasonable.

Sun Jian actually regretted it. Yuan Shao, the eldest brother who took the lead, sent a letter asking him to send troops to help, but he moved a little in Yangzhou, and then Guan Yu mobilized the army to fight-for-tat. He thought about it and felt that the north didn't know when the war would end, and he didn't need to let Yangzhou fall into war for the sake of the distant Yuan Shao. Just happened to receive another report that Cao Cao took the opportunity to go south to plot Jingzhou. So he felt that Cao Cao, Yuan Shao's hardcore brother, didn't help, and his relationship with Yuan Shao was not good, but they were tied together because of political factors, why should he help? It's better to go and rob Jingzhou with Cao Cao.

So Sun Jian ignored Yuan Shao, raised troops to the west, and went to fight for Jingzhou with Cao Cao. The fight was over, and the results came out. The two families divided Jingzhou equally. But after the battle, Yuan Shao, who was invincible in the north and was in full swing, was destroyed by Liu Bei, and he was seriously injured and lingered on the sickbed. It's just a loss that can't be lost.

Now Cao Cao is going to fight for Yizhou, and Liu Bei is attacking Yanzhou. As Cao Cao said, even if Yanzhou and Yuzhou are lost, Cao Cao still has the three counties of Jingzhou, which is the essence of Jingzhou, and he is also beneficial to the state. At that time, it is a big deal to guard the pass with heavy troops. The roads in Yizhou are difficult to travel, and the world knows it. If Liu Bei raised his troops to the south, he didn't have to think about it, he would definitely come to attack his Yangzhou first.

After all, there is still a Jiujiang County in Yangzhou in the hands of Guan Yu, and Guan Yu has been training sailors in the south for many years, even if the north has been fighting for many years, he has never gone north, for what? Isn't it the future conquest of Yangzhou?

If you still plan to sit idly by, I am afraid that when Liu Beijun arrives in the future, there will be no one in the world who can help you. As soon as he thought about it, Sun Jian felt that the alliance proposed by Cao Cao was really good. The two joined forces, and there was a big river as a danger. It's really not good, it's okay to row the river and govern it. Drag it out for a few decades, and then let future generations fight for it with their ability. I don't believe that you Liu Xuande is powerful, and your children and grandchildren are as powerful as you.

So Sun Jian replied to Cao Cao with a letter, in which he agreed that the two would form an alliance from now on, advance and retreat together, and support each other. If this oath is violated, heaven and man will kill him. and said that he would be ready to send troops to contain Liu Bei. Let Liu Bei not quickly occupy Yanzhou.

Just when Sun Ce came back from suppressing Pingshanyue, Sun Jian summoned Sun Ce over. Asked how about sending troops to rescue Cao Cao?
