The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 168
Seeing that Cao Cao had already made a decision, Cheng Yu had no choice but to come to Jiangdong again, and this back and forth wasted a lot of time.

When Sun Quan heard that Cao Cao was willing to give him Nanjun, he was overjoyed. As long as he controlled Jiangxia and Nanjun, the entire Yangtze River would still be in his hands.Even if Cao Cao occupies Xiangyang, the unformed navy cannot pose a threat to Jiangdong, and the navy will not be formed in a year or two. As for the future, let's talk about it.

Moreover, Cao Cao will send people to attack Jiangxia City from Xinye, so that Gan Ning will be troubled from head to toe. Let’s defend Jiangxia City, and the control of the Yangtze River will be given up. Dead.If Gan Ning goes out of the city to fight with him, then Jiangxia City will be lost.

This time is different from Cao Cao's army marching south in the original book. At that time, before Jiang Dong could react, Cao Cao occupied Jingzhou and aimed his spearhead at Sun Quan.Jiangdong has only two options, either surrender or fight.The situation at that time was also very critical. Even important ministers like Zhang Zhao proposed to surrender. It can be said that the local families in Jiangdong wanted to surrender.

In fact, even Sun Quan was a little hesitant, but it was Lu Su and Zhou Yu who helped Sun Quan make up his mind.

Now Jingzhou is still fine, but lost the territory north of Hanshui in Nanyang County, and those territories were already occupied by Cao Cao when Zhang Xiu surrendered.

If Zhang Wu can repel Cao Cao this time, it will be even more difficult for Sun Quan to occupy Jingzhou. At least Jiangxia will be very difficult to pass, otherwise Jiangdong will not be blocked by Huang Zu for more than ten years.

Jiangxia with the support of Xiangyang can block Jiangdong, and Xiangyang with Jiangxia's support can block Cao Cao. Now Xiangyang and Jiangxia can't support each other, haha, I see how you Zhang Wu escaped this time and let you blackmail my treasure!

Sun Quan decided to send troops. As long as he can take advantage of this opportunity to capture most of Jingzhou, cut off the Han River with water troops after stabilization, so that the Cao army in Xiangyang cannot advance or retreat, and then try his best to capture Xiangyang, then Jingzhou can be completely occupied. You can attack, you can retreat and you can defend.Then use Jingzhou as the base to take Xichuan, occupy the second place in the world, maybe you can achieve some hegemony!

This is the development strategy that Jiangdong Group is planning now, and it has one thing in common with Zhuge Liang's Longzhong Dui and Zhang Wu's ideas, that is, to occupy Jingzhou first, and then take Xichuan.

In the spring of the ninth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao led an army of 30 to conquer Jingzhou. He pulled out Rangcheng and Fancheng, and confronted Xiangyang across the river. Due to lack of water troops, he was unable to cross the river.

In summer, Cao Cao's cousin, Sun Quan, was the general of Zhendong, Zhou Yu was the prefect of Nanjun, Cheng Pu was the prefect of Jiangxia, and ordered Cao Ren to lead [-] troops to join Li Dian in Xinye with [-] troops to attack Jiangxia City.

Immediately, Sun Quan sent [-] troops to attack Jiangxia. When the news came, Jingzhou was shaken and people panicked.

In the Governor's Mansion of Jingzhou, Zhang Wu discussed the military situation with Chen Sun, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Huang Zhong and others. Everyone was nervous and excited, because everything was calculated.

From the moment he retreated to Xiangyang, Zhang Wu began to make arrangements, the purpose of which was to lure the main force of Cao Jun's navy out of the stronghold to fight a decisive battle with Xiangyang's navy, even taking into account the fact that Sun Quan would send troops.

Because Zhang Wu is a time traveler, when watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, the most regrettable thing was that after Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, he was attacked by Soochow from behind, which made the crusade against the Central Plains fall short, and the Liu Bei Group also completely lost Jingzhou, a strategic place. From then on, we could only send troops from Hanzhong to attack Wei.

At that time, Sun Quan would rather take Jingzhou at the risk of being retaliated by the Shu Kingdom. It can be seen how much Sun Quan obsessed with Jingzhou, and now Jiangdong's governor is Zhou Yu, who is the most aggressive commander in Jiangdong's previous governors. Taking Jingzhou into Xichuan is also his career plan.

So Zhang Wu has always been vigilant against Jiangdong, always preparing for the worst, and now the worst is coming.

Although everything is being calculated, it does not mean that the situation is easy to resolve. After all, with Jingzhou's strength, facing any opponent alone is at a disadvantage. Now that the two of them have united, it can be said that Jingzhou is really facing the doom. Disaster.

"Sun Quan's son has indeed colluded with Cao Cao, but I don't know what benefits Cao Cao promised Sun Quan. Isn't Sun Quan afraid of seeking skin from a tiger?" Zhang Wu said.

"It's nothing more than two families dividing up Jingzhou, and Cao Cao must have promised Sun Quan a lot of territory. Otherwise, after Jingzhou is destroyed, Jiangdong may not be able to resist Cao Cao." Pang Tong said.

"No matter what, we have reached the most critical juncture now. If we cannot pass this test, then everything will be over. Therefore, it is time for us to do our best. Shiyuan, let's start implementing our plan!"

"Yes, my lord. Everyone, my lord has predicted that Jiangdong might send troops to Jiangxia a few months ago, so I have already made preparations, and the following ministries will act according to the plan!" Pang Tong began to arrange tasks according to the pre-determined plan.

Liu Bei anxiously asked Zhuge Liang at the prefect's mansion in Xiangyang: "Sir, Sun Quan has sent troops to the east of the Yangtze River. Jingzhou is in danger this time. How should we deal with it?"

Zhang Fei also said cursingly: "Then Sun Quan is really not a thing, he will take advantage of others' danger and have the ability to beat Cao Cao!"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, waving his fan and said, "The hustle and bustle is all for profit, and it is for profit. Jiangdong and Jingzhou are feuds, and Jiangdong Zhou Yu is also a visionary. Of course, he will not let go of this opportunity to destroy Jingzhou. However, Liang thinks that the matter has not reached the final juncture."

"Oh? Sir, you mean that Dudu Zhang has a countermeasure?"

"I don't know if there is a countermeasure, but I thought the matter of the Han family was quite strange some time ago, and Liu Zhoumu is staying in the state pastoral mansion steadily. If the situation is really critical, I think Dudu Zhang will definitely send someone to escort him Liu Zhoumu is going to Jiangling." Zhuge Liang was indeed smart, just because Liu Qi was still in Xiangyang, he could tell that it was not as simple as it seemed.

If Xiangyang really can't hold it anymore, Zhang Wu will definitely retreat to Jiangling, and then rely on the four counties of Jingnan, maybe there is still a chance.

At this time, Chen Dao came in to report: "Report to the lord, and the governor Zhang Dadu asked to see him."

"Ah! Dudu Zhang is here, please!" Liu Bei hurriedly got up and went out to greet him, followed by Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei.

"Mr. Xuande, excuse me!" Zhang Wu clasped his fists and said.

"The governor's words are serious, please, the governor!"

"Mr. Xuande please!"

After being modest for a long time, Zhang Wu and Liu Bei entered the room together. After the guests and hosts sat down, Liu Bei asked, "What's the matter with the governor here?"

"I'm here to borrow Yide and use it with Zilong!" Zhang Wu said with a smile.

The borrower at this time must be to help him fight the war, Liu Bei naturally has no second choice, after all, Zhang Wu is also good to him, and the food and clothing of so many people are all given by him.

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were also very happy, they hadn't fought for a long time, and they were almost growing hair!

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "I don't know what the chances are for the governor?"
