The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 123
After sending Chen Qun and others away, Zhang Wu began to think about what treasures Cao Cao should exchange for Cao Ren.

To put it bluntly, the best treasure in Cao Cao's hands now belongs to the Chuanguo Yuxi, but the symbolic meaning of this thing is too great, and Cao Cao probably won't give it.

It's not easy to capture a clan general like Cao Ren alive. After he is released this time, he doesn't know if there will be a chance to capture him again in the future, so he must get some good things this time, preferably more.

After some thinking, Zhang Wu decided to ask Cao Cao to exchange the Fang Tian painted halberd used by Lu Bu back then for Cao Ren, and of course some other conditions must be added.

Fang Tian Hua Ji is the most famous weapon in the Three Kingdoms, even more famous than the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, Zhangba Snake Spear, etc., because its owner is Lu Bu, the most ruthless man in the Three Kingdoms.There are many people on the Internet who rank the generals of the Three Kingdoms in later generations, but no matter how they are ranked, there may still be disputes about other generals, but Lu Bu has always been the unquestionable number one.

Whether it is in film and television animation or in games, Lu Bu has always had the highest force value, and he has never lost a fight in the romance.Hulaoguan Sanying battle against Lu Bu was his peak period. Later, in the battle of Xuzhou, Lu Bu played against Cao Cao's six generals Dianwei, Xu Chu, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Li Dian, and Lejin. This performance can be regarded as very impressive. Others can't stop it at all.Shooting the halberd at the gate not only showed Lu Bu's superb archery skills, but also showed his strong confidence in himself.

Lu Bu is the most powerful in the world, and his mount Chituma is also the number one among the famous horses of the Three Kingdoms. His weapons should also be the number one among all the weapons and treasures of the Three Kingdoms. If he can get them, he will definitely be able to exchange them for generous rewards from the system .

Zhang Wu felt that it was okay to use negotiations to delay for more than ten days, because even if the terms were negotiated, Chen Qun would have to travel back and forth between Xuchang and Xiangyang twice, and then the defenses in Rangcheng would be ready. .

But Xiahoudun's [-] army is not so easy to deal with. They are all elite troops who have been fighting all year round. They are the most elite infantry in the world today, and they are also the infantry best at attacking cities. The defenders would never dare to go out of the city to fight back.

In this era, only cavalry can deal with cavalry, not to mention infantry spear phalanx or bow and crossbow long-range shooting, cavalry are not stupid, of course they will not hit the spear straight.The biggest advantage of cavalry is mobility and impact. Four legs can run faster than two legs. Cavalry can fight when they want, and retreat when they want.If you form a formation on your side, people can harass you around. The infantry can't always wait in formation. There will always be times when you are tired.

If the infantry wants to deal with the cavalry, unless the cavalry can be designed to force the cavalry to have to fight the infantry.For example, besieging the opponent's old nest, so that the opponent has to come to rescue, or blocking the cavalry in a narrow place.

So in the face of Xiahou Dun's [-] army, Zhang Wu also needs to mobilize most of Jingzhou's military forces, and may even transfer Jiangxia's troops, so Zhang Wu is more worried that Sun Quan will take advantage of the fire.

So Zhang Wu sent people to order Gan Ning to keep an eye on the movements of the Jiangdong water army, and the Jiangxia water army to keep vigilant. He also ordered Ding Feng to lead most of the Jiangling water army to garrison in the waters of Dongting Lake, ready to support Jiangxia or Xiangyang at any time.

Since Jiangdong Sun Quan quelled the rebellion of Gui Lan and Dai Yuan, he was busy with quelling the bandits and the Shanyue tribe's rebellion everywhere, so he had no time to take care of Jingzhou.This year, the 21-year-old Lu Xun entered the Sun Quan shogunate and became Sun Quan's staff member. He presided over the secretarial work of the Sun Quan shogunate. His ability was relatively outstanding and he was very appreciated by Sun Quan.

Lu Xun's grandfather was forced to death by Sun Ce, but now the Sun family is deeply entrenched in Jiangdong. In order to protect his family's interests and maintain the family's reproduction and development, Lu Xun can only rely on Sun Quan and find ways to gain Sun Quan's trust.

After Sun Quan got the news of Cao Jun's invasion of Jingzhou, he called a meeting of Wenwu and asked them if they could take the opportunity to attack Jiangxia to avenge their defeat last time.

Huang Gai first said: "My lord, the general thinks he should fight. Although Zhang Wu defeated Cao Ren, he will definitely annoy Cao Cao. Xiahou Dun's [-] troops are stationed in Wancheng, and they will soon attack Jingzhou. By then, Xiangyang will be too busy to take care of itself. It is us." It's a great time to capture Jiangxia."

"Gongfu is right!" Cheng Pu also said: "As long as Jiangxia's navy is wiped out and Jiangxia is captured, then Zhang Wu and Cao Cao can go straight to Xiangyang or Jiangling when both Zhang Wu and Cao Cao are wounded, and Zhang Wu will definitely be defeated. If we drive Cao Jun away, I, Jiangdong, can monopolize Jingzhou, and then it will be as solid as gold!"

Other generals also expressed that they should send troops and immediately send troops for revenge!

Sun Quan asked Zhou Yu again, "What does Gong Jin think?"

After Zhou Yu looked at several generals who advocated sending troops, he replied, "Return to my lord, Yu thinks it is impossible."

Sun Quan asked puzzledly, "Oh? What's the reason?"

Zhou Yu said: "Taking Jingzhou is indeed of great significance to Jiangdong, but this is not the best time. After Cao Cao has unified the north, he will go south to try to unify the world. Jiangdong has the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and Cao Jun is not easy to attack. Therefore, Jingzhou must It is Cao Cao’s first choice target. When it comes to the issue of northern invasion, Jingzhou and Jiangdong are actually in a deadlocked relationship. If Jingzhou is present, Cao’s army will not be able to threaten Jiangdong. If Jingzhou is destroyed, Jiangdong will have no peace.”

"In this case, why don't I, Jiangdong, take Jingzhou first, and then defend Cao Cao with all my strength?" Sun Quan asked again.

"My lord, that Zhang Wu is definitely not an idler. Judging from his performance in controlling Jiangxia until now occupying Jingzhou, he is definitely a heroic generation. Now that he has won the support of the Jingzhou clan, he has established a firm foothold in Jingzhou. It is also impossible to defeat him in a short time. If we take advantage of Cao Cao's invasion of Jingzhou and attack Zhang Wu from behind, that Zhang Wu may be defeated, but I am worried that he will surrender to Cao Cao in a critical moment. At that time, we will not only be unable to take Jingzhou , will also face Cao Cao who has a navy, I'm afraid it will be even more dangerous."

After Yuan Shu's demise, Shouchun fell into Cao Cao's hands. The territory occupied by Cao Cao was separated from Jiangdong by the Yangtze River. The reason why Cao Cao was unable to attack Jiangdong was because he did not have a navy and dared not cross the river.Without the right to control the water of the Yangtze River, on the one hand, the army cannot cross the river on a large scale. What if the ship is sunk when it sails into the river!On the other hand, it is impossible to transport food and grass. Even if some troops sneak through, if the logistics cannot keep up, they will starve to death.

If Zhang Wu surrendered to Cao Cao, and then helped Cao Cao train a batch of navy troops, then Jiangdong could basically enter the countdown to its demise.It can be said that Zhang Wu at this time can already decide the direction of the world, but Zhou Yu also feels that he must not be willing to surrender, but if Jiang Dong stabs a knife in the back, it will be hard to say, survival is the most important thing.
