The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 167 I can't bear the child

"Prime Minister, although our navy has made some progress, there is still a gap compared with the Xiangyang navy. Although it performed well on the Feishui, if we really want the army to reach the center of Hanshui, I am afraid it will not be the Xiangyang navy. Opponents. Why don't you train for a while to gain more experience." Xun You said.

"What do you think Wen Ze?" Cao Cao asked Xiang Yujin.

"Returning to the Prime Minister, although Gongda's words are reasonable, our army has also experienced many actual battles. The sailors have basically adapted to water warfare and have basically mastered various tactics. There is another thing. There are a large number of soldiers who are sick due to acclimatization. If we don't send troops anymore, I'm afraid there will be more and more sick soldiers, and we will have to withdraw our troops by then!"

Seeing what Yu Jin said, several other generals also responded one after another, saying that many soldiers in the army were indeed sick, vomiting and diarrhea, and some soldiers died of illness.

Cao Cao led troops in battle all the year round, and he knew that large-scale battles are most afraid of soldiers getting sick. This kind of unacceptable disease is better, and the number of deaths is relatively small. If you don't need the enemy to fight, your entire army will be wiped out.

"That article thinks that if our navy and the Xiangyang navy have a decisive battle, what are the chances of winning?" Cao Cao asked again.

"Prime Minister, we have a lot of soldiers, as long as we don't advance too aggressively, the battle with the Xiangyang Navy should be fought every now and then!"

At this time, Han Cheng, who was authorized to attend the meeting, suddenly said: "I want to report to the prime minister, the last general also thinks that there should be no problem with the Xiangyang navy, but if the Jiangxia navy comes to help, our army is absolutely no match!"

"Well, this matter, I care about it myself."

In order for the army to cross the river, Cao Cao sent Cheng Yu to Jiangdong in person to persuade Sun Quan to send troops to attack Jiangxia and create opportunities for Cao Jun's navy.

Sun Quan couldn't wait for Zhang Wu to return the treasure, and was so angry that he really wanted to attack Jiang Xia immediately, so that Zhang Wu could not take care of both ends, but he still maintained his reason, knowing that Cao Cao would take the most advantage in attacking Jiang Xia at this time.

Sun Quan is very contradictory now, he wants to take advantage of the opportunity, but he is afraid that Jingzhou will be taken by Cao Cao; if he joins Zhang Wu to fight Cao Cao, it will not benefit him; if he takes advantage of the opportunity of Cao's main force to attack Jingzhou and fights Hefei, Cao Cao will probably retreat , but Zhang Wu is comfortable, then Cao Cao will definitely come to trouble him.

It's so difficult!Just when Sun Quan was in a dilemma, Cheng Yu came.

Of course Sun Quan knew Cheng Yu's purpose, but no matter how nice your words are, Sun Quan would not easily agree to send troops without seeing the actual benefits.

Cheng Yu then told the benefits that Cao Cao promised to Sun Quan. After defeating Zhang Wu, Jiangxia County and all the land east of Dajiang would belong to Jiangdong, and Cao Cao would present to the imperial court to designate Sun Quan as General Zhendong.

When Sun Quan first heard Cheng Yu say that Jiangxia County belonged to Jiangdong, he didn't take it seriously, because if the two families really united, according to the agreement, Sun Quan would raise troops to attack Jiangxia and contain Jiangxia's navy, while Cao Jun would take the opportunity to eliminate Xiangyang. The army of the army crossed the river and besieged Xiangyang.

Since Jiang Xia was brought down by myself, is it still a benefit from Cao Cao?However, when Sun Quan heard that Cao Cao would present to the court to designate him as General Zhendong, his heart was moved.

Because Sun Quan's official official position so far is the general who seeks prisoners and the prefect of Kuaiji. For Sun Quan, who sits in the six counties of Yangzhou, his official position is too small, because the general who seeks prisoners is just a miscellaneous general.Sun Quan's official position is small, so the official positions granted to his subordinates are even smaller. Now that the Han Dynasty is still there, he dare not confer himself a high official position. That would be treason in name.

So far, Zhou Yu, the most powerful under Sun Quan, is also a Jianwei Zhonglang general and Zhonghujun. In the original book, it was not until Zhou Yu's death that he became a partial general.

The positions of other generals are even lower. Cheng Pu, a veteran and important minister, is only the captain of Wujun, and Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang and others are school captains.

Liu Qi is Jingzhou Mu, and at least he inherited his father, but even Zhang Wu, who was born as a thief, became the general of Zhennan, Sun Quan felt very unbalanced!

But after all, Sun Quan is not the kind of little girl who can be deceived by a lollipop, nor is it a fool who can be fooled by drawing a cake. In this troubled world, it is the last word to have soldiers and territory. This big man can see it It won't exist for long.Whether it is General Zhendong or Great General, they are all false names. Liu Bei is still General Zuo, and he doesn't even have a piece of land until now.

After all, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu still refused to accept the offer. Cheng Yu knew that Sun Quan was not satisfied with the terms he proposed, so he had to go back and report to Cao Cao.

"Sun Quan's concern is nothing more than the fear that after we occupy Jingzhou, our power will increase greatly. With the navy and infantry, he Jiangdong will not be able to resist. As long as Sun Quan's doubts can be dispelled, I believe Sun Quan may still send troops. Together with our army to attack Jingzhou , Sun Quan can still get some benefits, if he unites Jingzhou to fight against our army, what else can Sun Quan get?" Xun You analyzed.

"What Gongda said is true. It's just that Sun Quan is greedy and wants to monopolize Jingzhou!" Cao Cao exclaimed. So many people, such as Sun Quan, Zhang Wu, and Liu Zhang, ruled one side separately, and they don't know if they can see the world return to unity in their lifetime.

"What's Zhongda's strategy? You said you could lure Sun Quan in the first place, how can you lure him?" Cao Cao asked Sima Yi again.

Sima Yi said: "Prime Minister, Jiangdong is only relying on Dajiang. If Sun Quan can continue to maintain his advantage in Dajiang, I think Sun Quan will never give up this good opportunity to expand his territory."

"what do you mean?"

"Prime Minister, why don't you list Sun Quan as the general of Zhendong, Zhou Yu as the prefect of Nanjun, and Cheng Pu as the prefect of Jiangxia, and at the same time order Li Dian to attack Jiangxia from Xinye, then Sun Quan will definitely send troops."

"What? Give Nanjun to Sun Quan? So the Jingnan four counties are also under Sun Quan's control? Then why did we fight Jingzhou so hard? Is it just for Xiangyang?" Cheng Yu was a little unhappy.

"I don't want the child to be unable to trap the wolf, Xiangyang is Jingzhou!"

"Good! Zhongda's words are very incisive! For us, Xiangyang is the entire Jingzhou. If we take Xiangyang, we can have a foothold in Jingzhou. In time, we can recruit the rich families of Xiangyang and recruit soldiers to train the navy. After we gain a firm foothold in Xiangyang, it will be easy to take Jiangling." Cao Cao agreed, feeling a little sigh in his heart, the second child of the Sima family did have some skills.

"But, Prime Minister..." Cheng Yu still disagreed.

"Okay, Zhongde, just do what Zhongda said. You go to Jiangdong again. This time, Sun Quan must send troops no matter what, otherwise we won't be able to afford it." , Haven’t crossed the Han River yet, 10,000+ large soldiers eat horse chews, and now there are a large number of sick cases in the army due to acclimatization. If they don’t want to cross the Han River, they really have to withdraw their troops.
