Chapter 521 Cao Cào guesses that Zhou Yu may be unlucky (first update)

"Go and summon Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun and others to discuss the matter." Cao's instincts told him that this matter was not simple.

Discuss it with everyone, otherwise the boat may capsize in the ditch.

The southeast side is now the nerve that pulls the people of the world, not to mention the death of Liu Feng. Therefore, Xiǎo officials were not surprised that Cao Cào summoned these six important ministers.

"No." In response, the xiǎo official hurried away.

Cao Cào glanced at Tian Sè and walked towards the study with his entourage.

Xu Du is the Later Capital, not as large as the Chang'an of the First Han Dynasty and the Later Han Dynasty Luoyang, which gathered the power of the world and repaired for several generations.

The palace of Xudu did not even have a quarter of the Luoyang Imperial Palace.

In comparison, Cao Cào's Prime Minister's Mansion is only slightly more Xiǎo than the Xudu Imperial Palace. Therefore, Cao Cào is in the house, and it is generally by car.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, major deliberations were held from time to time to convene the civil and military ministers of Xudu. More frequent, there are xiǎo-type discussions, which are usually convened by some peerless advisers.

Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun, and Guo Jia and others in the past.

Therefore, although Cao Cào's study room is claimed to be a study, it is large in shape, which is more than the ordinary hall of the rich and noble.

When Cao Cào came to the study, his Xun Yu and the others did not let Cao Cào wait for a long time, but after two quarters of an hour, they each put down their affairs and came to the study.

After greeting each other, the kings and ministers sat down with each other.

Cao Cào raised his head and looked at the heavy minister. Among them, Jia Xu's face paused, and he felt a little remorseful about the matter in Jingzhou.

Once after Cao Cào pacified Jingzhou, he once asked Jia Xu about countermeasures. Jia Xu persuaded him and advised him that after he went down to Jingzhou, he would accept it when he saw it.

Send a general to lead the Jingzhou naval army in the past to defend it. Slowly.

And from all aspects, Liu Feng has more than 100,000 troops, which should not be taken lightly. On the contrary, Sun Quan was weaker, and he could lead the army back to the north to plot against Sun Quan.

It's a pity that at that time, Cao Cào didn't listen.

Thinking of this, Cao Cào's heart was a little annoyed, but it didn't show it on his face. Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. How can you face a face because of a defeat?

Self-cultivation, xiōng path, heroism. There is no shortage of cao cào.

Therefore, Cao Cào only stayed on Jia Xu's face for a moment before retracting his gaze. He continued to glance at the rest of the people.

Last time, Cao Cào didn't listen to Jia Xu's words, and he didn't pay attention to Liu Feng at all. But Cao Cào won't be able to do it this time, so he summoned these people to come and discuss countermeasures.

"I summoned you here today, but it was the spies from Jiangdong who came with news that Liu Feng was dead." After retracting his gaze, Cao Cào looked straight ahead and said slowly.

"Ming Gong, Jiangling is not guaranteed." As soon as Cao Cào finished speaking, Cheng Yu frowned and said.

Everyone was still digesting the news, but Cheng Yu's thoughts were like lightning and thunder, fast and bright.

"Oh? How can Zhongmou see it? Cao Cào could guess what Cheng Yu was going to say next, but he didn't show it on his face, he just looked at Cheng Yu with a smile.

"Since the death of Emperor Xiaoling, the world has risen together, and there are countless rebels. The Ming Dynasty raised troops to support the Han Dynasty, sweeping dàngjiān countless people. The only ones left are Liu Feng, Sun Quan, Liu Bei and others. In the battle of Chibi, the Ming Duke was defeated, so that the power of the southeast side increased greatly, and there was a momentum of competing with the north. But on the southeast side, there are Liu Feng, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei, which may even lead to húnluàn. Yes, Jiangling Xu Huang leged Jiangling and was still able to keep it. But now that Liu Feng is dead, Zhou Yu has no rear scruples, and he can run rampant in Jingchu and go north to capture Jiangling. Even Xiangyang. When he turned around, he swept away the remnants of Liu Feng, drove them away, and eliminated Liu Bei. Then the Sun clan unified the southeast, and the consequences were unimaginable. Cheng Yu's surname was Gang, and he was a little anxious, and he finished everything he wanted to say in one breath.

What Zhong De said is very true, Zhou Yu will go north to attack Jiangling and Xiangyang. Now there is still a guard general Xu Huang in Jiangling, with 30,000 soldiers, who can deal with him. However, Xiangyang was guarded by no generals, and it was necessary to send soldiers to reinforce each other with Gangneung. Xun Yu, who was sitting first on Cao Cào's right hand, nodded in agreement.

The rest of the people didn't speak, but they all agreed with Cheng Yu and Xun Yu's words.

"Hehe, Jiang Linggu didn't think about keeping it." Cao Cào nodded with a smile and listened, but he had some ideas in his own heart, so he couldn't help but smile and said.

"Please let the Lord know." Cheng Yu was a little puzzled and couldn't help but say.

"Our army of 200,000 went south, dàng Pingxiangfan, entered Bī Jiangling, and was mighty, but it was also defeated in Chibi, resulting in the loss of prestige, and the hearts of the people in Jingzhou were not attached, Xu Huang was in Jiangling, leading 30,000 or 40,000 remnants, and the morale was also insufficient. And the hearts of the people are not attached. It won't last long. According to Lone's estimate, April and May are the limit. Even if I increase my troops and give baggage to garrison Gangneung, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses. It is better to use Gangneung as a place of maneuver, let me quietly recover, dispatch the army, and go to Xiangyang. Stick to Xiangyang, in order to go south again in the future and attack Jingzhou. Cao Cào explained.

Cheng Yu reluctantly accepted Cao Cào's explanation, at present, Cao Cào is newly defeated, the army moves dàng, and the majesty moves dàng. It is even more stupid in various places, among which Gongsun Kang in the north, Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, Ma Teng Han Sui in the west, etc., all have intelligence showing that they are training soldiers and horses diligently and sharpening their knives.

It will take time to regain its majesty and resist the horde. Therefore, it is not a choice to abandon Jiangling as a place of maneuver and only stick to Xiangfan.

Although Gangneung is rich, it is a pity to lose it.

"Actually, I didn't summon you here for this, but for Liu Feng." Just when everyone accepted Cao Cào's decision, Cao Cào suddenly said again.

"Liu Feng? Isn't it already dead? Everyone looked at Cao Cào suspiciously, and there was intelligence that Liu Feng had indeed gone to Jiangdong.

At first, they were also very puzzled. Because Jiangdong is tantamount to Longtan Tiger to Liu Feng, because of this, everyone expected Liu Feng's ending.

Therefore, the news of Liu Feng's death was digested so quickly. Otherwise, a figure as big as Liu Feng suddenly died, and it would take at least a long time for everyone to recover and sort out.

Analyze the situation.

Facing everyone's suspicious gaze, Cao Cào took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled this breath. There was a confident and sleepy god on his face.

"At the beginning, when I received the news that Liu Feng went to Jiangdong, I also talked with you, but I was shocked and puzzled, but I didn't discuss the result, why Liu Feng went to Jiangdong. Therefore, this is still a big suspense. Therefore, Gu suspects that Liu Feng is not dead, it is very simple, there have always been princes who have died in yīn plots, and there are countless people who have died in soldiers, and even Sun Ce died at the hands of his husband, but there has never been such a death as Liu Feng. ”

As he spoke, Cao Cào's eyes showed a bright sè, and he said: "According to Jiangdong intelligence, Sun Quan's statement was that he died when he encountered a wind at sea. But there is still news from Lone, knowing that when Liu Feng went to sea, he was accompanied by Ding Feng and Gu Yong, obviously these two people were sent by Sun Quan in order to execute Liu Feng, but now the news that comes out is that Liu Feng died in the wind, and Ding Feng and Gu Yong did not return it. ”

"There is no one in life, and there is no corpse in death. Lone intuitively felt that Liu Feng was not dead, although Lone didn't know why Liu Feng was able to avoid this sword disaster. In the end, Cao Cào's face showed the previous confident, but sleepy.

With Cao Cào's words, everyone also fell into the beginning, and when discussing why Liu Feng entered Jiangdong, they all had doubts and puzzles.

The people present are all extremely smart characters, and as long as they give a doubt, they can perfunctory a lot of ideas.

Liu Feng may not be dead, but Sun Quan must have believed it. Otherwise, they would not spread rumors everywhere, intending to move the seven counties of Hannan under the rule of Liu Feng. And let Zhou Yu have no worries and annex Jiangling. And if Liu Feng is not dead, Zhou Yu is completely defenseless, as long as he strikes lightly, Zhou Yu will die. If this is the case, the southeast side will not be dominated by Sun Quan's family, but by Liu Feng's family. Cheng Yu's eyebrows furrowed, obviously feeling tricky.

Quite tricky.

Liu Feng, who is powerful Sun Quan? The unanimous opinion present was that Liu Feng was several times stronger than Sun Quan in terms of offensive and ambition. In other words, the threat is more powerful and more powerful.

If the southeast side is lost to Sun Quan, it may be fine, but if it is lost to Liu Feng.

"If Liu Feng defeated Zhou Yu in one fell swoop, and then took advantage of the victory to attack Jiangling. Gangneung is hopeless. Therefore, we must stick to Xiangyang. Cao Cào said solemnly.

"What's going on over there?" Suddenly, Cao Cào asked.

Chen Qun, who was in charge of the documents and knew everything about the army, didn't think about it, and immediately raised his fist and said: "After the soldiers retreated to the north, General Yu's 10,000 troops are currently stationed between Wancheng and Xudu. At present, General Yu is stepping up efforts to restore the morale of the army. ”

The composition of Cao Cào's army was slightly different from Liu Feng's, and his army was all under the command of a battalion, with a maximum of 10,000 and a few thousand.

And Xu Huang's headquarters actually has only a few thousand people, but his position is high, so he controlled 30,000 or 40,000 remnants of the army and stationed in Jiangling.

"With the soldiers in the rear, the morale of the army can be stabilized, and according to the ability of the rules, a month is enough to restore the morale of the army. Well, let's stay in Xiangyang for a month, and after a month, we will be stationed in Xiangyang and step up our defense. ”

"In addition, Xu Huang's side, although he will lose Jiangling, but with his ability, it is enough to retreat with most of the army and retreat to Xiangyang. In this way, the two armies are superimposed, which is enough to hold Xiangyang. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Cào said to Chen Qun.

"Xiangyang is not as good as Jiangling, close to the rear, and it is closer if you don't give weight. However, Ming Gong did not take into account Liu Feng's army. Xun You, who had no words, suddenly spoke.

The so-called one person is short-minded. That's it.

Cao Cào was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized again, and said happily: "If it weren't for Gongda, I would have almost buried tens of thousands of lonely troops." ”

"Ordered to forbid, on the north bank of the Xiangjiang River, build more beacon towers to guard against Liu Feng's army." 曹cào solemn重jiāo on behalf of Chen Qundao.

All of Cao Cào's preparations are actually in case of Liu Feng's death, if Liu Feng is not dead, then his naval army is quite terrifying.

Cao Cào clearly remembered how shocked and even shocked he was when he first heard that Gan Ning was marching into Jiangdong.

The Jiangdong Navy is already very strong, and Liu Feng is actually stronger. If Liu Feng advances by land and water, goes to Jiangling, and attacks Xiangyang, Liu Cong may be difficult to resist.

Now this is also the case, if Liu Feng eliminated Zhou Yu in Jiangling, defeated Liu Bei, and occupied Jiangling, he organized a large army to advance by land and water.

The threat is great. If nothing else, it's a baggage, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to replenish.

After thinking about it, Cao Cào felt that the construction of the beacon tower was just an expedient measure, and it was a little inappropriate. couldn't help but say: "Loot Xudu and the granaries near Xudu, or even collect from Haoqiang, you must gather enough food for tens of thousands of troops to eat for a year." In addition, open the treasury and give more weapons and leather armor. Be sure to hold Xiangyang. ”

"No." Xun Yu, who basically assisted Cao Cào in handling government affairs, responded with a solemn face.

Although Liu Feng is not dead, and Cao Cào has to prepare for the precautions. is based on the speculation that Liu Feng is not dead, and the southeast side is about to change greatly.

But everyone's hearts are heavy, if that happens. Liu Feng eliminated Zhou Yu and Liu Bei and captured Jiangling.

On the southeast side, it is the situation where Liu Feng's family is dominant. Sun Quan or something became a foil, and even perished. If Liu Feng goes further, conquers Xiangyang and occupies Shangyong.

So what a majesty.

Although, Cao Cào has faced this situation and is fully prepared. But as soon as everyone imagined the possible scene, they couldn't help but be shocked.

At that time, Liu Feng started from scratch, with only a few hundred soldiers in his hands, he was able to conquer Jiangxia and conquer the territory of the seven counties. If Liu Feng is given a complete Jiangdong, Jingchu, hundreds of people, and hundreds of thousands of armor. It also occupies a favorable geographical position, on the one hand, relying on a strong naval army, the Yangtze River, and the Xiangjiang River to defend. On the other hand, when you accumulate strength, you can go north out of the river and compete with the Central Plains.

Chen Qun, who basically didn't have much research on the military situation, was even more shocked in his heart.

"You don't need to worry too much. Now Lone has arranged a ban in Xiangyang, as well as enough food for a year, and all kinds of baggage. plus the soldiers brought by Xu Huang after he withdrew from Jiangling. Even if Liu Feng raised troops, he would stop at Xiangyang. will not conquer Xiangyang, or even enter the city of Bīwan, to the point of Xudu. In addition, Sun Quan may lose tens of thousands of jīng Rui such as Zhou Yu. However, according to the extent that the Sun family has been established for the third time, it should not be broken by Liu Feng. Other than that. Saying that, Cao Cào smiled slightly and said, "This is just based on my speculation, if Liu Feng is really dead." The blue-eyed child is much more obedient. ”

In this sentence, Cao Cào just relieved the hearts of the important ministers. Only Cao Cào knows how accurate his intuition is.

It's an inexplicable instinct. He has helped Cao Cào through many crises.

Liu Feng must not be dead. Cao Cào thought to himself.

Liu Feng, how did you escape this catastrophe? Cao Cào raised his head and looked in the direction of Jiangdong, his heart full of sleepiness.

It's incredible.

Cao Cào was a person who dared to think and do, and after the xiǎo-type meeting in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he began to prepare for the changes brought about by Liu Feng's death.

Heavy dispatch, there are countless big cars every day, between Xudu and Xiangyang

Today, I got up a little, and the classified monthly pass entered the seventh, but in the blink of an eye, Shu Han fell to the ninth again, and I urgently asked for the support of the brothers' monthly passes.

Sanqi continued to code words, huh. Today is still the third watch.
