Chapter 533: Wei's Calculations

84_84906 "I thought that after cutting the robe and breaking the righteousness, the prince could give up this brotherhood and achieve a great cause, but the prince still couldn't make up his mind after all!" Looking at Sun Quan's resolute back, Pang Tong's peculiar face had a helpless look.

"What do we do now?"

Xu Shu's fists couldn't help clenching, and his eyes flowed with a touch of unwilling light: "Could it be that Sun Ce is just allowed to return to Jinling, and then ascend to the throne logically!" โ€

Once Sun Ce returned to Jinling, Sun Quan's advantage was to collapse completely, which he would not allow.

"I originally thought that if Sun Ce was imprisoned under our noses, and then in the battle of Chibi in the big camp, we would take out a victory that belonged to the general of the Western Expedition, swallow the Chu State in one go, and forge the supreme glory of the Wu State, then the prince and the prince would be able to ascend to the throne of the Great Treasure in a chapter!"

This is why Pang Tong agreed to continue the westward expedition.

The king died in the Western Expedition, if Sun Quan took command and won the victory of the Western Expedition in one fell swoop, then his prestige soared to a peak in the Wu Kingdom, and no one dared to stop him from ascending the throne when the time came.

But now that Sun Quan actually put Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, back to Jinling, things are different, Pang Tong thought about it, and his eyes crossed a glint: "Now it seems that our plan is going to change!" โ€

"How?" Xu Shu's eyes lit up and asked.

"The most important thing in this matter is in Jinling City!"

Pang Tong's eyes were low, and a trace of coldness flashed, and he said: "The continuation of the Western Expedition is an unchangeable thing, if you don't fight this battle, the prince and the prince will not go back to Jinling, the prince and the king have a deep father-son relationship." The father's revenge is not shared, he wants revenge, and we can only help each other. Now what we have to do is to delay the time, as long as the victory of the Western Expedition has passed, no one can stop the trend of the prince ascending to the great treasure! โ€

"But Sun Ce is not a busy person, this arrogant lion is not easy to stop!" Xu Shu shook his head, his expression raised a trace of murderous intent, and said, "If you let him return to Jinling safely, he will control the initiative." Once he ascended the throne, the prince was justified in his name. If you don't get it right, it's a civil war in Wu, so you must not let him go back smoothly! โ€

"Kill him?" Pang Tong's pupils contracted suddenly, and he glanced at Xu Shu with some horror.

"Can't!"

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "This person is the prince." You and I both understand, if it weren't for his order, if you and I killed Sun Ce, we would all have to die, not that I spared my life, for the sake of the prince to ascend the throne, I could die, but if I killed him, the prince would probably have to bear the name of killing his brother for the rest of his life! โ€

"What do you mean?" Pang Tong was a little puzzled.

"Find a reason. Block him! Xu Shu said: "As long as he is trapped for a few months, so that he can't return to Jinling, he can't go back to Jinling." The lord of the state of Wu is always empty, and every qiฤ“ is established and empty talk! โ€

"Overlord Iron Cavalry escort, their mobility is unstoppable, we don't have cavalry, it's hard to stop!" It's a good idea, but it's in the right situation. It's hard to do.

Pang Tong thought about it, and his eyes lit up slightly. "But they are now on the waterway, which gives us a chance!" โ€

"Yangtze River Water Village!" When Xu Shu heard this, he suddenly shouted out.

There is a pass on the waterway back to Chaisang from Jiangxia County, which used to be used by the Jiangxia army to defend the Wu army's water village, and this water village is now guarding tens of thousands of elite soldiers as the rear guarantee of the Wu army.

"The town guard of Shuizhai is Gan Ning's people, and Gan Ning has to bother with this matter!" Pang Tong nodded and said, "I went to Fankou once and personally visited Gan Ning, Gan Ning is the person of the prince, he should understand how to be good to the prince!" โ€

"There is a problem with the logistics of the Western Expedition, I have to go back to Jinling!"

Xu Shu nodded and said: "Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are not ordinary people, just in case, in Jinling City, we still have to make some preparations, Li Nie, the old yin man, is more ruthless than you and me, this matter still needs him to plan, besides, there is a Sun Yi in Jinling City, there should be no problem to use him to drag Sun Ce!" โ€

"Hmm!"

The two of them easily carried the qiฤ“ that Sun Quan had planned for him on their backs.

โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•

The news of Sun Jian's death in Jingzhou has spread all over the world, and as the lord of Wu, one of the largest vassal states in the world, Sun Jian's death in battle will naturally lead to countless changes.

Wei State, Xu Capital City.

If the battle of Guandu between Wei and Jin was in full swing, hundreds of thousands of troops fought along the Yanjin line, but they never reached the time for a decisive battle.

Because Cao Cao, the king of Wei, was still waiting, he was waiting for an opportunity, and now this time has come.

As soon as Sun Jian, the king of Wu, died, Wu would inevitably have civil strife, so Wu would no longer be his worry, and he could let go of the battle and go all out to win the battle of Guandu.

Even though Wei and Wu had signed an alliance before, but the giant tiger of Wu was hovering behind him, and he could never do his best to fight the battle of Guandu.

"Sun Wentai, another old friend has gone, it's a pity!" When Sun Jian's death came, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh a little, in the past, the eighteen princes would ally the Guandong, but now there is not much left.

"Great King, this is good news for us in the Wei Kingdom!" Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "As soon as Sun Jian dies, the two heroes of Wu will inevitably fight!" โ€

"Report to the king, Xiling's ghost scouts are here!" Jia Xu stood on the left side of Xi Zhicai and arched his hand: "Sun Bofu and Sun Zhongmou staged a robe-cutting and righteousness in front of Sun Jian's spirit, and the two brothers are about to break up!" โ€

"Huh!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately smiled proudly, and said: "It was right that he didn't kill Sun Zhongmou in the East China Sea at the beginning, one mountain does not hide two tigers, this brotherhood is good, you can tell me, who among them can climb the great treasure of Wu and become Lone's next opponent!" โ€

"Sun Zhongmou!"

Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu glanced at each other and said in unison.

"Why?" Cao Cao squinted his eyes and asked: "Sun Bofu's son is not weak, in terms of elder and younger, he is the eldest son, and in terms of military strength, he is probably three points more powerful than Sun Quan!" โ€

"It used to be, but now. Sun Bofu has a dead hole! Xi Zhicai thought about it, and said to Cao Cao: "How Sun Jian died, everyone in the world knows. Although it will not make him bear the charge of killing his father, but after all, it will be because of him, which will make him fall in the hearts of the people in Wu State! โ€

"That's right!"

Cao Cao sighed and said: "Sun Wentai is seeking benevolence, as the king of a country, he can take risks for his son, and Gu has to admire him!" โ€

In troubled times. Etiquette and music have collapsed, but loyalty, filial piety, etiquette and righteousness are still shackles that no one in the world can escape.

Sun Jian died fighting for Sun Ce. In the same situation, Cao Cao couldn't do it, because he was a hero, and he made up his mind. There is no Sun Jian's reckless and heroic impulse.

"Wenhe, you supported Sun Yi, do you have a chance to kill the two of them in one fell swoop!" Cao Cao said suddenly: "Sun Bofu and Sun Zhongmou are both dragons among people, no matter which of them is on the throne, Lone will be a little difficult to sleep, if he is replaced by a Sun Yi who is ambitious and talented, Wu Guo will no longer be Lone's henchman!" โ€

"Great King, how can the wolf bรจi be comparable to the real dragon and wild lion!" When Jia Xu heard this, he shook his head. said: "Sun Yi, he is just a clown of Wu State, let him secretly carry out intrigues. It's okay to mess with the feelings of Sun Ce and Sun Quan's brothers, but if you want to rely on his ability, you want to beat Sun Ce and Sun Quan's brothers and ascend to the position of Wu Guo's great treasure, it's impossible! โ€

Xi Zhicai also nodded, and said softly: "How can Sun Bofu and Sun Zhongmou not know what Sun Yi is thinking now. In the final analysis, Sun Yi can toss until now. It's just that the two of them never took him seriously! โ€

"Sun Yi!"

When Cao Cao heard this, the corners of his mouth outlined a sneer, and he said helplessly: "It seems that the mud can't support the wall, and Gu still can't expect him to make the Wu Kingdom collapse!" โ€

"But don't worry, the king!" Jia Xu's eyes had a gloomy cold glow, and said: "I will personally go to Jinling City later, and I will definitely assist Sun Yi and shine his greatest light, I don't want him to succeed in overthrowing the Wu regime, at least let Wu fall into civil strife for a longer time, and buy the greatest time for Wei!" โ€

"Good!" Cao Cao nodded and said, "The more chaotic they are, the better, if you can make Sun Ce and Sun Quan's brothers break up and divide the Wu Kingdom into two halves, Lone will be even happier!" โ€

"King, don't expect too much!" Xi Zhicai poured a plate of cold water on him and said: "The people of Wu are not stupid, it is not difficult for them to fight, but if you want them to split Wu State, it is unlikely, and Sun Ce and Sun Quan brothers will not break up Wu Country because of this, they are all people with some bottom lines!" โ€

"Zhicai, you said, at this moment, the state of Wu is not only about to have civil strife, but also hundreds of thousands of people who have been on the front line in Jingzhou in the west, and there must be emptiness inside, if you give up the battle of Guandu alone, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Wei state will go south with all their might, can you take the state of Wu with one blow?"

Cao Cao asked whimsically.

Compared with Yuan Shao, he was even more afraid of Wu Guo.

This is the weakest time for the State of Wu, if he takes advantage of this opportunity to take the State of Wu, then the Battle of Guandu will be meaningless to him, and after taking the territory and population of the State of Wu, no one in the world can stop him Cao Cao's footsteps.

"King, this matter must not be committed!"

When Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu heard this, they were slightly shocked, and hurriedly bowed their heads and advised.

"Why?"

"Great King, neither Sun Ce nor Sun Quan are fools!" Xi Zhicai raised his head and said: "Without the oppression of the enemy, they will naturally fight for the position of the king of Wu State, but if the enemy army comes to the city, then they will quickly unite and unite with the outside world, we will not only fail to take Wu State, but may even help them!" โ€

The Sun family's country, they can fight for it, but if there is an enemy to grab it, then you are welcome, let's talk about it.

"King, and the Jiangdong region has many rivers since ancient times, if we want to break into the hinterland of Jiangdong!" Jia Xu added, "Then we must have a strong naval army, otherwise how to deal with the world-famous Wu State Navy!" โ€

"Although Wu is the biggest enemy of Wei, we still need to think about it in the long run!" Xi Zhicai said.

"Huh!"

Cao Cao was told this by the two of them, and a little thought suddenly came to his senses, smiled and said, "It's a lonely heart!" โ€

"King, we don't expect the weakness of the Wu Kingdom, as long as we are strong enough, no one in the world is our opponent, and the battle of Guandu is a battle in which we go all out!"

Xi Zhicai said: "Wu civil strife, we must not take care of the Wei State, our Wei State stationed on the border of the Wu State soldiers and horses can be liberated, go north with all our might, as long as this battle is won, we are the overlord of the North, the biggest prince in the world, when the time comes, what does it matter!" โ€

"Okay, Zhicai said it well!" Cao Cao suddenly became excited, he had been looking forward to the weakness of others, it was better to strengthen his own strength, defeat Yuan Shao, and win the Jin Kingdom was the right way.

"Now Guandu has reached the final point, but the confrontation in Yanjin is over!" Jia Xu reported: "In the early hours of this morning, the ghost pawn sent back the news from Yecheng that Yuan Shao, the king of Jin, had personally taken command and waved his troops south!" โ€

"Humph!"

Cao Cao stood up and said proudly: "That Gu will go north in person, have a good competition with him, and pass the order, three days later, Gu will personally take command and swear to the Northern Expedition!" โ€

In this battle, he is determined to win.

"King, the country of Wu is in turmoil, and we still have a force to use!"

"You're talking about Zhang Liao's 80,000 elites!" Cao Cao's eyes lit up slightly, Zhang Liao had been fighting with Zhao Yun for many years, and the soldiers under his command were definitely the elite of the Wei State.

"Hmm!"

Xi Zhicai nodded and said: "Zhang Liao has five thousand tigers and leopards under his command, this is the sharpness of the cavalry, which was originally used to resist Zhao Zilong's White Horse Yicong, but Zhao Zilong has returned to Jinling, and the White Horse Yicong has also left Xiaoyaojin, we can naturally withdraw our troops, and the other soldiers under General Zhang's command are also among the best soldiers."

In the chaos of Wu, General Zhang Liao can liberate at least 60,000 soldiers and horses to the north, and the most important thing is to liberate him as a general. โ€

"That's true!" Cao Cao nodded and said: "Lone immediately issued an order, let him lead the army north, Yuan Shao, Lone will fight you to the death this time, either you die or die alone!" (To be continued).
