Three Kingdoms: before lying flat, dragging Zhao Yun to defect to Cao

"Everyone, the foreign war is indeed going to be launched in the near future."

"If you don't take advantage of this time to expand your power, you will definitely miss the opportunity."

Cao Cao's eyes were shining brightly.

At this moment, whether it is Lu Bu and the Xiliang army in the west, or Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the east, they are all in a confrontation stage.

At this time, whether Boss Cao is fighting Qingzhou or Sizhou (the Luoyang area), he can achieve certain results.

However, if they want to fight Qingzhou, they have to confront Yuan Shao, that behemoth in advance.

This is not in line with Cao Cao's strategic plan.

Therefore, it should be imperative to invade Sizhou and take the part of Luoyang.

……

PS: Ladies and gentlemen, exciting episodes are coming. .

Chapter 125 Cao Cao: I, have I really been enlightened?

Hearing Cao Cao himself said that he was going to fight abroad, all the generals almost jumped up with joy.

Xiahou Dun also felt very relieved.

He worked so hard to cultivate these sweet potatoes and potatoes in order to help Cao Jun gain a big advantage in logistics.

Now it seems that this wave of advantages has been completely established.

Princes like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Lu Bu don't have the two big killers of sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Therefore, regardless of the large number of soldiers under their command, when it comes time to fight, they can only wait for the spring harvest or autumn harvest.

And like Cao Jun, there is no need to worry so much now.

Large grain producers are capricious!

In addition to food, Cao Jun is also at the leading level of a big man in terms of weapon supply.

Don't underestimate the Xujiazhuang blacksmiths brought by Xu Chu.

All of them are first-class masters, and the weapons they forge are extremely sharp, and they can be said to be honed through thousands of tempers.

The only thing that is missing now may be that the number of war horses is not enough.

Although there are [-] war horses that Tong Fei tricked from Liu Bei.

However, the number of these horses is still insignificant compared to Yuan Shao who owns the Bingzhou Racecourse and Gongsun Zan who owns the Youzhou Racecourse.

However, these are not things.

As long as Boss Cao takes down Sizhou and has the opportunity to border Liangzhou, the war horse will naturally be a no-brainer.

This is why in history Boss Cao dispatched Zhong Yao to recover Guanzhong before even the surrounding Lu Bu, Liu Bei, and Zhang Xiu had been cleaned up.

Without Sizhou, it would be difficult for Cao Jun to even arm the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Not to mention the surprise attack on Wuchao in the Battle of Guandu and the decisive victory in the battle.

Looking at the whole world, all the civil and military personnel like Cao Jun are also people who can be ranked.

Their eyesight is naturally extraordinary.

Without asking, everyone's eyes were on Si Zhou.

"My lord, Sizhou is empty now, we should take this opportunity to take it down!"

Xia Houyuan got up and said.

As a fierce general who is good at attacking people from thousands of miles away, Xia Houyuan was very interested in the matter of attacking Sizhou.

Seeing Xia Houyuan speak, Le Jin, Li Dian, Li Tong and other generals quickly stood up and agreed.

The more stable generals, including Zhao Yun and Yu Jin, were also full of fighting spirit at this time.

Not to mention Xu Rong.

Sizhou was originally his base camp, so it would be best to win Sizhou.

Although Luoyang is now in ruins.

However, with Boss Cao's economic strength, there is no problem in building a new Luoyang city.

However, Xu Rong still had a little worry in his heart.

The combat effectiveness of Lu Bu and the Xiliang army is very strong, although the two forces are still fighting at the moment.

But we are not fools.

If Cao Cao sends troops to attack Sizhou now, I am afraid that Lu Bu and Xiliang Army F4 will stop the war by coincidence.

At that time, if the two sides come together to attack Cao Cao, it will be bad.

After thinking about it, Xu Rong still decided to stand up and said:

"My lord, this subordinate thinks that Sizhou should be taken."

“But now it’s time to bide our time.”

"That Lu Bu and the generals of the Xiliang army have been fighting for many days, and one of the two sides must be defeated."

"When their war is about to be decided, my lord will attack Sizhou in one fell swoop, maybe not only the Luoyang area can be taken down."

"Maybe the land of Guanzhong can also be included in the territory!"

Xu Rong is an excellent commander.

His strategic vision is very long-term.

Hearing Xu Rong's analysis, Xia Houyuan and the other generals were all stunned.

But Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai and other civil servants nodded in appreciation.

That's right.

Whether it is Xiliang Army F4 or Lu Bu, they are all greedy people.

Now that there is no external threat, the two forces are fighting in Guanzhong.

But once Cao Cao sends troops to Sizhou, it will surely cause panic between the two forces.

The Cao Cao of today is no longer the Cao Cao of the Hulao Pass.

All the princes in the world must treat Cao Cao's power seriously.

Otherwise, Boss Cao will definitely suffer a lot.

"Everyone, between Lu Bu and the generals of the Xiliang Army, only one side can win in the end."

"That's how you see it?"

Cao Cao asked a group of counselors.

Fighting wars is the business of generals, but when it comes to strategizing and winning thousands of miles, you have to rely on these advisers under your tent.

When Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Cheng Yu heard Boss Cao's question, they immediately thought about it.

As for the two salted fish in the back, they are currently dreaming.

Suddenly, Cao Cao cast a sharp look at Guo Jia.

Ask directly by name:

"Feng Xiao, what do you think of the battle between Lu Bu and the Xiliang generals?"

Guo Jia jerked violently and woke up from his sleep.

As the saying goes, sleepiness is passed on from person to person.

It's like when you are in class in the future life, if someone near you is sleepy and wants to sleep.

As expected, soon you will also feel an overwhelming drowsiness sweeping over you.

Guo Jia sat next to Tong Fei, seeing him sleeping so soundly, he naturally started to feel sleepy.

As for the content of the meeting just now, except for the reward part, the rest didn't even listen to a single word.

However, a ghost is a ghost. Facing Boss Cao's question, he said nonsense seriously:

"My lord, that Lu Bu has peerless courage, but he is brave but not resourceful, so he will definitely be defeated by the generals of the Xiliang Army."

"There is also that old man Wang Yun who is headstrong, (cafb) is even less of a concern."

Hearing Guo Jia's analysis of Wang Yun and Lu Bu, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Cheng Yu nodded.

The three of them thought roughly the same way.

That guy Lu Bu is now making a good publicity call, what is he called the righteous general who eradicates Dong Zhuo and helps the big man.

In fact, it was just a scam designed to stab the adoptive father.

Although the Xiliang army generals lost Dong Zhuo.

But when facing their common enemy, Lu Bu, it was a united effort.

In particular, Zhang Xiu's troops won the Tongguan victory not long ago, overwhelming Xiliang Army F4, and became the most dazzling new star among Xiliang's generals.

Of the five counselors present, except for Tong Fei, the remaining four did not participate in the princes' meeting and the pursuit of Xingyang.

However, everyone knew something about the relationship between Tong Fei and Zhang Xiu.

Therefore, after Guo Jia analyzed the characters of Lu Bu and Wang Yun, the old man Cheng Yu said:

"My lord, in my opinion, that embroidery has to be guarded against."

"This guy gathered soldiers from Liangzhou and occupied Tongguan. The number of soldiers under his command has reached [-]."

"In addition, Zhang Ji is Zhang Xiu's uncle, and the remaining three are Li Jue, Guo Si and Fan Chou. The combined forces may not be the opponent of Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew."

"If the Xiliang army can defeat Lu Bu, this person is afraid that he will occupy Chang'an, and he may become the next Dong Zhuo!"

"puff!"

For some reason, Cheng Yuming was seriously analyzing the situation, but when Boss Cao thought of Zhang Xiu, he couldn't help laughing.

Those who don't know may think that Zhang Xiu is so difficult to deal with, but Boss Cao knows that ten Zhang Xiu tied together are no match for Tong Fei.

Thinking of the scene where Tong Fei sprayed Zhang Xiu to pieces on Xingyang Mountain Road back then, Boss Cao felt extremely happy.

If Zhang Xiu had controlled Chang'an, the situation would have been easier to deal with.

Emmm, anyway, our boss Cao thinks so, and thinks that Zhang Xiu can handle it very well.

As everyone knows, Zhang Xiu is also a person who has a great relationship with him in history.

It's just that now, because of Tong Fei, Boss Cao can't feel hostility towards Zhang Xiu. Instead, he feels that it would be better if Zhang Xiu controls the situation in Guanzhong.

However, Cheng Yu, who didn't understand the situation, felt very confused when he saw Cao Cao suddenly laughing.

"My lord, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm stumped, isn't that right?"

The old man Cheng Yu was also very stubborn, thinking that Cao Cao was dissatisfied with his analysis, so he asked frankly.

"Ahem, Zhongde is right, it's just that I just remembered something happy."

"Yeah, happy things."

Cao Cao hastily said so.

Hearing this, Cheng Yu's face became better.

In fact, Cheng Yu also felt quite confused.

Logically speaking, Zhang Xiu should be just an ordinary young general of the Xiliang Army.

In the end, I don’t know why, first I drove away the old fritters like Ma Teng and Han Sui, and stayed in Xiliang and dared not come out.

After that, he controlled most of Liangzhou's soldiers and horses, and formed a coalition with Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and other old generals of the Xiliang Army with the momentum of thunder, and invaded Chang'an.

Li Jue, Guo Si and Fan Chou were all beaten up by Lu Bu.

Only Zhang Xiu won the most difficult Tongguan and became the most powerful prince in Kansai in one fell swoop.

All of this, Cheng Yu couldn't help but feel that the embroidery seemed to be broken.
