Chapter 1725: Lian Cao Wei Soong Wu Reverse
Shen Long was outside Yingchuan, and Zhuge Liang was in the west of Chang'an. At the same time, he kept great pressure on Cao Wei. Although they did not launch an offensive immediately, Cao Wei could not be sloppy. Sending food and grass to these two places, coupled with the pressure from Soochow, made it even more uncomfortable.
During the Three Kingdoms period, years of battles, bones exposed in the wild, and no chickens crowing for thousands of miles were very common. Although Cao Wei occupied the largest territory among the Three Kingdoms, most of the places they occupied were places where they had been fighting for a long time, and they were already dilapidated. Unbearable, coupled with the previous defeat of Fancheng, the battles of Xuzhou and Hefei had already consumed a lot of food and grass, and now they have to supply a large amount of food and grass, the Cao Wei court is now beginning to feel strenuous.
In Luoyang, Cao Pi once again convened a group of ministers to discuss a solution. If this continues, it will definitely not work. Sooner or later, he will be consumed by Shu Han and Soochow.
"Now order Cao Zhen and Sima Yi to fight, and repel Zhuge Liang and Shen Long, so that it can be resolved!" Some people think simply, won't it be enough? As for Soochow, once Shen Long and Zhuge Liang fail, they will definitely retreat immediately.
"In the past, there was a strong city to defend, and Fang was defeated again and again. What is the chance of winning the field battle now?" Chen Qun asked, and then he came up with his own plan, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Liu Bei is old, if there are changes in Shu, Zhuge Liang and Shen Long will retreat without fighting!"
Chen Qun thought a little further. Liu Bei is already sixty-four this year, and he can definitely be called a long-lived man in this day and age. In the early years, he fought endlessly, which consumed a lot of his body. It is reasonable to estimate that he should not have How long can we live? When Liu Bei dies, Shen Long and Zhuge Liang will definitely return to Chengdu.
At that time, it will take at least one or two years to help the crown prince ascend the throne and reorganize the political order. This time is enough for Cao Wei to catch his breath, and he can also use this opportunity to allow Sima Yi and Cao Zhen to recover Longyou, Runan, Nanyang and other places, and even If we take Jingzhou, then Guan Yu will probably be on the verge of dying, right?
"Cough cough." Cao Pi coughed twice. He felt that Chen Qun's idea seemed more plausible, but just waiting for Liu Bei to die is not an option. After all, no one knows when Liu Bei will die, let alone Liu Bei. Cao Wei couldn't bear it at first, "However, if Shen Long and Zhuge Liang garrison for one day, my Great Wei will have to spend another day. Is there a way for them to retreat as soon as possible?"
Hearing this voice, Chen Qun was startled, and quickly raised his eyes to peek at Cao Pi's face. He saw Cao Pi's complexion was gloomy, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely haggard. He couldn't help thinking of all the legends he had heard before. Cao Pi had contracted typhoid fever before, and he often played with concubines in the harem, so he was a bit over-exhausted.
Although Cao Pi is not yet forty years old, his physical condition seems to be worse than his own. If this continues, maybe Cao Pi will die before Liu Bei is exhausted?
He still doesn't know that if the real history develops, now that Liu Bei has passed away, Liu Chan has already inherited the throne of Shu Han, but since Shen Long entered Shu, he has helped Liu Bei recuperate his body and healed the hidden dangers left by years of battles in the past. Liu Bei's body is still strong now, and without the pain of losing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei successively, Liu Bei will definitely live for a few more years.
"We can unite with Wu to attack Shu, and the siege of Yingchuan and Chang'an has been resolved." Chen Qun did not dare to mention his physical problems with Cao Pi, so he could only use other methods to make Shen Long and Zhuge Liang retreat earlier.
"Unite Wu to attack Shu? But now that Lu Xun is still attacking Xuzhou and Hefei, why is Sun Quan willing to attack Shu Han?" Cao Pi asked back, if there was no harassment from Lu Xun, their pressure would be less.
"At this time, at that time!" Chen Qun said, "At that time, the Shu Han was weak, and Sun Quan sent troops to the north just because he wanted the snipe and the clam to compete for the fisherman's profit. If Xuzhou and Hefei could be captured, the Soochow Wu would surely increase in strength; However, the people of Wu are good at water combat but not good at foot combat, and Lu Xun wasted his strength if he was unable to attack for a long time, Sun Quan must feel regretful."
"The Shu Han seized this opportunity to conquer several counties in a row. Soochow must be jealous if they don't get an inch of land!" Chen Qun continued to analyze, "After taking Longyou, Nanyang, and Runan, the Shuhan has already surpassed Soochow by a lot. In terms of geography, since Runan has descended, the Shu Han has already occupied the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, as well as the northern banks of Chibi and Jiangxia. Go to Shuhan and take Runan as your own."
Chen Qun's meaning is very simple. In the past, when Soochow Ken and Shuhan united, they were both weaker than Cao Wei. Now that Shuhan's strength has risen sharply and it poses a serious threat to Soochow, Sun Quan will definitely change his view.
The ministers of Cao Wei thought it was true, so they immediately sent eloquent scholars to Dongwu to clarify their interests. After the envoy met Sun Quan, he explained Chen Qun's analysis. After listening, Sun Quan remained silent for a long time, and Lu Xun looked ashamed.
Yes, it was also a large-scale leader of the Northern Expedition. Why did Shen Long and Zhuge Liang win a battle and expand countless lands, but it was his turn, but was blocked by Cao Xiu. He fought fiercely for several months and did not take down a city. Could it be that he is really far inferior to the two of them?
"What is there to rely on in Jiangdong? There is nothing more than the natural danger of the Yangtze River, but now Jingzhou and Runan are all owned by the Shu Han, and the Yangtze River natural danger has been shared with the Shu Han ever since. Is Tai Ah in the hands of others?" The messenger asked sharply.
"Therefore, my lord is willing to make friends with Soochow. If the king of Wu is willing to send troops to attack Jingzhou, then the governor Cao Zhen will send 200,000 troops south to attack Shenlong, and my lord will also lead an army to conquer Yuzhou. If the King of Wu advances westward, Shen Long and Guan Yu will inevitably face the enemy, and their defeat will only happen overnight."
"After this battle, Runan and Jingzhou can be owned by Soochow Wu, and my lord only wants the land of Nanyang." Of course, the envoy did not forget to promise benefits, and took out both Runan and Jingzhou.
"Runan and Jingzhou have already belonged to the Shu Han, so don't you want me, Dongwu Jianer, to seize them?" Sun Quan was moved, but he did not make a final decision.
The envoy smiled and said, "After this battle, King Wu's prestige will definitely increase greatly, and he should be promoted to a higher level."
This hit Sun Quan's key point. Now that Cao Pi and Liu Bei have proclaimed emperor successively, only Sun Quan is only the king of Wu, and he was canonized by Liu Bei. How embarrassing is this for him? Since Sun Jian stole the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor has become the long-cherished wish of the three generations of the Sun family, but the time has not come.
If I can regain Jingzhou and take Runan in one fell swoop, I guess the Jiangdong officials will support me based on this feat, right? Sun Quan made up his mind.
