The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 330
Not long after Xiahoudun and others led Cao Jun out of Hanzhong, Li Shimin led Xiliang Jingqi into Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu, the great jumping god, was able to parry Xiahou Dun, but he was too weak to block Li Shimin, who was like a wolf and a tiger.

Li Shimin's most used tactic is psychological warfare. People's support is Li Shimin's favorite general trend to borrow. First, he ordered people to enter Hanzhong to promote the Five Dou Rice Sect to search for people's fat and people's anointing, regardless of the life and death of the people. There are [-] elite soldiers led by Ma Chao and Li Xiaogong outside.

Under internal and external troubles, Zhang Lu did not hold on for even a month, and Hanzhong had already fallen. Zhang Lu took his family into the deep mountains and old forests, and truly lived a Taoist life of seclusion.

Xiahoudun attacked for several months and returned without success. In front of Li Shimin, Zhang Lu couldn't even hold on for a month. Apart from Ma Chao's bravery and invincibility, it was Li Shimin who commanded effectively. The military talent displayed by Li Shimin is really rare in the world. !

However, Li Shimin won Hanzhong, but Cao Cao couldn't sleep. Hanzhong is the main road from Xiliang to Liangchuan, and it is also the main road from Sili to Liangchuan. Li Shimin's victory in Hanzhong is equivalent to cutting off Cao Cao. The thought of going down to Yizhou brought the wolves of Ma Jiajun out of Liangzhou at the same time. Hanzhong is not an ordinary place. It is adjacent to the Hanshui River, with a large population and affluent people. The fierce Xiliang cavalry plus sufficient money and food, That would be a serious problem for Cao Cao's confidants, no worse than Liu Xiao.

Moreover, Hanzhong is still behind Sili. Now Cao Cao is surrounded by Liu Xiao in the east and Li Shimin’s Ma’s army in the west. It’s a terrible situation. Zhang Lu was just a guard dog. He only knew how to live with his wife and concubines Cao Cao never worried about his death, and now he was suddenly given Hanzhong by this inexplicable Li Shimin. Not only did he win Hanzhong, but even Ma Teng and his son, and even Lu Bu were subdued by this Li Shimin. What is the origin, I have never heard of this person!

Originally, Cao Cao was quite happy to win Nanyang and Nanjun, but he was almost knocked out by the changes in Hanzhong within two days of being happy.

Pain, headache, headache!

The huge change caused Cao Cao to suffer from stroke again, and it was very difficult to even move. However, even though he was seriously ill, Cao Cao did not dare to neglect in the slightest. He immediately summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures, and ordered Cao Ren to lead [-] troops to advance Chang'an was stationed in the Jingzhao area to guard against Li Shimin's eastward offenders.

Cao Cao was worried and anxious, but Liu Xiao was shocked when he got the news. Li Shimin, I didn't expect that one of the heroes of later generations would finally jump out and compete with him for the world.

Li Shimin, originally the Li family was a prominent family in Longxi, with a prosperous population, but now Li Shimin has recruited the Xiliang army, and the soldiers under him are skilled and brave, it is really dreadful.

"My lord, who is Li Shimin? Why haven't Liang, Feng Xiao, and Bowen heard of this person? My lord was so shocked when he heard his name?"

Looking at Liu Xiao's shocked expression, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but feel a little bit suspicious. In his opinion, there are too few people or things that can change Liu Xiao's face. When he entered Xiangyang alone, Liu Xiao couldn't help but face Liu Bei's obstacles. He has never changed his face, but a little-known Li Shimin has such power!
Liu Xiao shook his head slowly, and replied: "Sir, looking at the world, the only person who can really make me fearful, besides Cao Cao, is Li Shimin. I don't understand the reason after I tell you. It is rare in a hundred years, and it is not far behind Qin Huang Han Wu. He is a natural leader, and he is convincing wherever he goes. This time Cao Cao is difficult again!"

Zhuge Liang and the others were shocked when they heard the words. The lord actually said that Cao Cao was in trouble again. Now Cao Cao is sitting in Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Bingzhou, and his strength is not inferior to the lord. In Hanzhong, compared with Cao Cao and his own two, the strength is still inconceivable. War, in the final analysis, is a confrontation of comprehensive strength. Liangzhou's population, money and food are extremely scarce. How can it be maintained only by the output of Hanzhong? Live the supply of the entire war?

"My lord, don't worry too much. It's just that the Xiliang soldiers have occupied Hanzhong. Although the Xiliang soldiers are fierce, there is almost no grass in the Liangzhou area, and the poor are clanging. What do they use to start the war? Even if they own Hanzhong, Hanzhong The output cannot sustain a big battle for a long time. With Cao Cao's ability, he only needs to slow down the Xiliang soldiers' attack, and just delaying can kill the Xiliang people!"

Guo Jia said in a deep voice.

Liu Xiao smiled wryly and said, "Procrastinate? I'm afraid he won't die with Cao Cao. Don't forget, after Hanzhong is the Shu Road, along the Shu Road, you can directly enter Yizhou. With a large population and countless money and food, why do you think Li Shimin did not attack Sili and Bingzhou, but took Hanzhong directly? It is not that Li Shimin dared not attack Cao Cao, but that he was not ready yet. Liu Zhang in Yizhou was weak and incompetent. Is it Li Shimin's opponent? Once Li Shimin succeeds, it will be different. With two states in his hands, he can rule the world, go north to attack Sili, and go east along the Yangtze River to attack Jingzhou. This Li Shimin... ..."

Now Liu Xiao occupies four states, Cao Cao occupies four states, and Liu Bei occupies three states. In the world, only Liangzhou and Yizhou have not yet emerged with huge forces. If it is true as Liu Xiao said, let Li Shimin take it After leaving Yizhou, the next situation will not be divided into three parts of the world, but four parts of the world!

"My lord..."

The sudden Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "It's not a big deal. It turns out that the world is in a three-legged relationship. We and Cao Cao and Liu Bei each occupy one side. No one dares to attack the other side easily, lest the other side take advantage of it. But once The rise of Li Shimin is different, the four major powers are competing for the world, and everyone no longer has to worry about the other party taking advantage of the vacancy, and Li Shimin threatens Cao Cao, which just gives us the opportunity to attack Jiangdong in the south and take the whole of Jiangnan!"

"What about the Central Plains? When we attack Jiangnan, Li Shimin may not be able to contain Cao Cao..."

Liu Xiao hesitated.

Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "It's okay, my lord, it's either Cao Cao or my lord who can unify the Central Plains now. Li Shimin will not sit and watch either of our two families unify the Central Plains. Once the Central Plains is unified, it means that neither Liu Bei nor Li Shimin can compete with him." We have fought, so Li Shimin will not sit back and watch Cao Cao win Qingzhou or Jizhou, this is our chance, but if Cao Cao attacks Jingzhou, our chance will definitely come, because we don’t have an opponent like Li Shimin behind us..."
