Chapter 268 Cao Cao's Thoughts

"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty has taken action. Don't we still take action?" Guo Jia asked beside Cao Cao.

Cao Cao, sitting on the dragon throne, stared at the civil servants and military generals in front of him and thoughtfully. It was not that he didn't want to take the initiative. Now everyone around him was fighting, the Shu Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom in the south were fighting, and Liu Bang and Ying Zheng in the north were fighting.

Moreover, Li Shimin went to Qin again, and now Wei is independent from other countries and has not become the target of being concentrated. Cao Cao's meaning is nothing more than to see what they mean. If he really doesn't hit them, he will randomly pick people to fight.

"Yuan Rang, what do you mean? Who do you want to fight?" Cao Cao still respects the suggestions of his relatives. As a general of the Wei State, Xiahou Dun has the right to designate the Wei State to expedition.

Xiahou Dun, who was standing aside, thought carefully. Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan next to him couldn't wait. They suggested beating Wu first and then Shu.

Now Shu Kingdom is comparable to their Wei Kingdom's national strength, not to mention that the Tang Dynasty is helping them behind them. In terms of the number of people, Wei Kingdom may not be able to fight them now. The worst result is that both sides suffer losses, and Sun Ce can still find a bargain behind them.

"Then listen to what Zi Xiao and Miaocai said, beat up the bastard Wu Kingdom first. Sun Quan fought in Hefei in the north to fight, and Wenyuan, you can gain experience again." Xiahou Dun looked at Zhang Liao standing next to him and said with a smile.

The generals smiled unkindly. When Zhang Liao was there, Sun Quan fought two rounds of Hefei, and the 200,000 troops basically returned a few thousand people. In the third battle of Hefei, Zhang Liao died of illness, Man Chong and Tian Yu replaced him, but he did not fight. In the fifth battle of Dongxing, Zhuge Ke fought against Hefei, and Zhang Te defended Hefei again. In the five times, a total of 500,000 troops were dispatched, but he never won.

"When it comes to the battle in Hefei, it is really a battle worth remembering. I still remember the scene where Sun Quan ran away in front of me. It was just a little short of that, so I killed Sun Quan himself!" Le Jin said depressed next to Zhang Liao.

Li Dian, the Confucian general who participated in the Battle of Hefei, patted Lejin and comforted him: "Isn't this a chance now? If you go south, Wen Qian, you will give full play to your combat power and fulfill this wish with General Zhang."

After listening to these people's suggestions, Cao Cao probably understood who they wanted to attack, so Cao Cao ordered all the generals: "All the generals obeyed the order, Xiahou Dun was the commander of the central army, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren were the left and right guards, Cao Hong was the deputy general, Cao Chun, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu and Xiahou Shang, you four led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry as vanguards, Jia Kui and Mao Jie were the military advisors, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu were the military advisors, Xu Chu and Zang Ba were the generals of the central army, and the rest were their respective duties and went to war with me."

Cao Cao's plan was very clear this time, that is, he would definitely destroy the Wu Kingdom. Shu Kingdom had already intervened in this war. Sun Ce was actively resisting, but he did not get any benefits. After two months of fighting, Liu Bei stayed at the border of Wu Kingdom without moving.

Sun Quan rebelled and rebelled in the northern part of the Wu Kingdom, and his troops were less than 100,000, which means that the majority of the entire Wu Kingdom was in the hands of Sun Ce.

If Cao Cao sent troops to take Sun Quan over, would Sun Ce be able to launch a counterattack against Liu Bei with all his might?

"Listen, don't rush to continue going south after fighting Sun Quan. Let Sun Ce put all their troops into the war against Liu Bei. We will march slowly. When the two sides are in a difficult situation, we will catch them off guard." Cao Cao pointed at everyone and said.

The generals bowed in unison: "No!"

Xun Yu, who was standing below, thought for a while, and thought that if he wanted to destroy Wu, he would say hello to Shu. In this way, he would prevent Shu and Wu from joining forces to resist Wei again.

"Wen Ruo's words make sense. If we send troops to Wu and do not say hello to Shu, what if Zhou Yu advises Sun Ce to ask for peace with Liu Bei and turn to attack us?" Cheng Yu nodded, and he agreed with what Xun Yu said.

Cao Cao was indeed neglected in this question. He turned to look at Xun You who had been silent and said: "Gongda, what do you think?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, I think this war should be followed by Wen Ruo, and reached an alliance with Shu Kingdom to attack Wu Kingdom. After Wu Kingdom destroyed it, it would tear up the alliance agreement and go to war with Shu Kingdom." Xun You gave his suggestions.

Since the planner Xun You expressed his agreement with Xun Yu's intention, there was no need to discuss it anymore. We immediately communicate with Liu Bei and reach a consensus as soon as possible.

"Hey, who?" Liu Bei answered a phone call and asked.

Cao Cao, who was opposite the phone, replied: "I, Cao Mengde."

Liu Bei quickly pulled Zhuge Liang over and turned on the phone with a speakerphone, asking him to hear what Cao Cao was doing.

"Meng De, what are you asking for me?"

Cao Cao on the other side of the phone said in a bad mood: "Look at your Shu army attacking the border of Wu for two months without moving. I'm thinking about helping you, what do you think?"

When he heard that Cao Cao was going to send troops to Wu, Zhuge Liang nodded with his fan and agreed to him.

Liu Bei was a little confused. Why did he agree to Cao Cao? Letting them participate in the war now is like attracting a wolf into the house.

"Okay, when will you send troops?"

Cao Cao said, "I'm waiting for you to say this, and I'll send troops now."

Bang-

Once Cao Cao hung up the phone, the matter was done. Liu Bei was not a fool, and Zhuge Liang was not a fool. He dared to conclude that Zhuge Liang must be by his side.

After Zhuge Liang watched Cao Cao hang up the phone, Liu Bei felt that Zhuge Liang was a little abnormal today. Why did he agree to him?

"Your Majesty, you are definitely not willing to listen to Liang's words, but it is also the problem of our army now. General Guan has fought for almost two months but has not taken the western border of Wu. This is okay, but now it is the autumn rainy season, the roads are muddy, and our army's food and grass cannot be turned on. If Cao Mengde is not allowed to fight and assist, Liang probably will lose this battle."

After hearing this, Liu Bei was stunned. He said that it was because the road was muddy and could not transport food and grass to the front line on time?

But aren’t the wooden ox and flowing horses you and your wife made just for the muddy roads?

"Although the food and grass cannot be transported, and the wooden ox and flowing horse can be transported on time, even if we don't agree, they will be dispatched because they are afraid that we will join forces with Sun Ce again." Zhuge Liang expressed Cao Cao's true intention.

You should know that Liu Bei hated Wu now, but Liu Bei definitely couldn't do it with his enemies. Since he couldn't do it, he could only give Cao Cao a step, make a step back, and let Wei participate in the war to destroy Wu.
