Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 694 Reaction of all parties

Ma Teng and Han Sui are both local snakes in the Northwest. If Zhu Wei cannot get the support of one side, it will be considered that they have been defeated in the first battle, but they may not be able to eliminate them.

Once they are allowed to flee back to Liangzhou and the Qianghu land in the northwest, they may bring the Qianghu aliens to attack Guanzhong at any time, and there is no way to make the northwest land peaceful.

Now if Zhu Wei can win over Ma Teng, he can use Ma Teng to protect the northwest. At least for the time being, Zhu Wei can not take care of the northern border of Guanzhong and concentrate on the war in the Central Plains.

It's just that although Zhu Wei made such an arrangement in the battle in Guanzhong, Zhu Wei still lacks confidence in whether Ma Teng will agree to the alliance and how the war in the northwest will be fought.

If that doesn't work, he can only rely on the strength of the Tiger Wing Battalion to deal with Ma Teng, Han Sui and other Liangzhou troops. Zhu Wei also wants to see how much combat effectiveness his carefully trained cavalry army can have. .

After sending out the two armies in this way, Zhu Wei also ordered Wei Yan's Jingnan Battalion to go to Chang'an to support the Huyi Battalion after they captured Hongnong County.

As for the Huyi Battalion, although they went straight to Chang'an, it took some time to contact Ma Teng. Therefore, the Huyi Battalion cavalry went here mainly to prevent Duan Yan and Wu Xi from Hongnong County from fleeing to Chang'an. This trip to Yiying can be regarded as a retreat for Duan Xuan and Wu Xi.

After dispatching these two armies, Zhu Wei stopped steadily in Luoyang, and then sent envoys to Xudu, and once again formally asked the Xudu court to "respectfully invite the emperor to return the capital to Luoyang."

Of course, Zhu Wei's arrangement now is also to cooperate with Jia Xu's strategy of wearing clothes.

In order to find an excuse for himself to attack Cao Cao, it is naturally very important whether this strategy of wearing clothes and edicts succeeds.

Of course Zhu Wei knew that Cao Cao would never let the emperor come to Luoyang, so no matter what excuse Cao Cao made, if the so-called Yidai Zhao incident occurred at this time, Cao Cao could be convicted of holding the emperor hostage.

At that time, Zhu Wei will also be able to send troops to Xudu in the name of being on the side of the Qing emperor and saving the emperor.

During this process, Zhu Wei was also able to see the results of the battle in Guanzhong by the way. Zhu Wei still hopes to have a stable Guanzhong that can be used as the hinterland before he officially goes to Cao Cao.

So time gradually passed by in the open and secret actions.

Zhu Wei's army arrived in Luoyang and settled down, as if they were really building the emperor's palace for the emperor. They didn't do anything else, but everyone in the world knew that Zhu Wei and Cao Cao seemed to be fighting for the emperor's affairs.

At this time, after Yuan Shao in the north knew the movements of Zhu Wei's army, he naturally sought out counselors such as Tian Feng and Ju Shou to discuss Zhu Wei's actions, but Yuan Shao didn't care too much about Zhu Wei's actions.

At this time, Yuan Shao was launching the final blow to finally eliminate Yi Jing Gongsun Zan. Only after eliminating Gongsun Zan would he have the heart to aspire to the Central Plains.

Cao Cao, who is located in Xudu, also summoned counselors to discuss countermeasures. As the direct party, Cao Cao seemed to have realized the strategic impact on him after Zhu Wei occupied Luoyang, which made Cao Cao feel the urgency of the situation.

Soon Cao Cao sent envoys to Yuan Shao in the north, and he actually proposed to Yuan Shao that he would send the emperor to Yecheng. He said that the soldiers outside Zhu Wei threatened the safety of the emperor. Protect the safety of the emperor.

At the same time, Cao Cao also made a request to Yuan Shao, hoping that Yuan Shao could send troops from Yecheng through Hanoi County, and join Cao Cao's army to attack Zhu Wei, who is now occupying the imperial capital.

Obviously, Cao Cao had realized Zhu Wei's aggressiveness towards him. He would rather bow his head to Yuan Shao, and even send the emperor he held hostage, in exchange for an alliance with Yuan Shao to attack Zhu Wei.

Cao Cao planned to act first, as long as he could unite with Yuan Shao to defeat Zhu Wei, then he would face Yuan Shao later, Cao Cao was very confident.

Cao Cao was really afraid of Zhu Wei. He and his advisers didn't realize the purpose of Zhu Wei's army this time. Even Cao Cao thought that Zhu Wei wanted to attack Yingchuan Xudu directly.

It wasn't until Zhu Wei occupied Luoyang that Cao Cao suddenly realized that Zhu Wei was cutting off his retreat, blocking the possibility of him fleeing to Guanzhong.

This made Cao Cao really scared, which meant that Zhu Wei had made up his mind to attack him, and Zhu Wei had seen ahead of him, and even he had not yet considered Guanzhong as his retreat, but Zhu Wei had already thought of it and blocked it.

If such a powerful enemy cannot be dealt with first, how can it be defeated in the future.

Cao Cao still feels a little lucky now. Fortunately, there is Yuan Shao in the north who can be said to be quoted. Without Yuan Shao, Cao Cao really felt that he would be very difficult to resist Zhu Wei's army.

Cao Cao was already preparing to fight back. Of course, he couldn't help but discuss with the advisers below. It would be the best if Zhu Weineng and Yuan Shao could both suffer from defeat when he teamed up with Yuan Shao to attack Zhu Wei this time.

So while Cao Cao was actively preparing for the battle, he also stepped up contact with Yuan Shao. He seemed to bow his head to Yuan Shao, without any scruples about his own face.

After all, it is not easy to convince Yuan Shao, but Cao Cao has reached the critical point of life and death, so why would he care about such things.

At this moment, all parties are preparing conspiracies and tricks, deciphering each other's moves, waiting for the other party to show their flaws and kill them with one blow.

The time gradually came to April in 199 AD, and Zhu Wei's wife Wang Yuyan who stayed in Xiangyang City finally gave birth to a son for Zhu Wei, and Zhu Wei could be regarded as having an heir.

It's a pity that Zhu Wei is in Luoyang and has no time to go back to Xiangyang for the time being, so Zhu Wei just passed on a name and named his son Ding, which can be regarded as implying the meaning of Dingding the world.

Of course, after Zhu Wei had this male heir, Zhu Wei's subordinates celebrated with each other. They finally felt relieved that the lord had a successor.

At the same time, the war in Yizhou is also going well.

After Pang Xi of Jiangzhou surrendered with [-] Shu troops, Jiangyang County of Yizhou was also easily captured by Gan Ning and Zulang, and then the army that conquered Yizhou went directly along the river, and now it has reached Yizhou. Han'an County, the next step is to face Chengdu.

And after Liu Zhang in Chengdu lost Pang Xi's [-] troops, although he had assembled an army of nearly [-] to [-] in Chengdu, the people in Chengdu were panicked. Very full.

In fact, the Yizhou soldiers and horses have not experienced many battles, and Zhang Lu has rebelled, and now the Chengdu army is just a new army with little combat effectiveness.

At the same time, under the arrangement of Wang Yuyan from Xiangyang, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong also sent his younger brother Zhang Wei to lead an army of [-] to invade Zitong County from Hanzhong, posing a threat to Chengdu from the north, so Liu Zhang had to send veteran Wu Yi to lead Yang Huai, Gao Pei and others led eight thousand troops and went north to resist Zhang Wei's army.

In this way, Chengdu is facing more pressure...
