Shu Chen

Chapter 539

The husband in Xiangyang is the waist and brawn of the world.

If it is in the Central Plains, it can be merged with the southeast; if it is in the southeast, it can also be drawn in the northwest.

Jingxiang has always been the strategic hub of the North-South game.

This is the reliance on Cao Rui who dared Jiangdong to draw Lujiang County on the north bank and the old and new Hefei cities when Wei Guo was trying to make Wu Guo betray the big man to ease the urgent need in Guanzhong.It is also the reason why Sun Quan knew that once he accepted Wei Guo's proposal, he would inevitably usher in the front of the Han army, but he still accepted it regardless.

For the country of Wu, which is located in the southeast, it could not resist the temptation of obtaining Jingzhou.

Just relying on the natural dangers of the great river makes Jiangdong flock to it!
Not to mention that if you occupy Jingbei, you will have the opportunity to compete for supremacy in the world.

Yes, if Jiangdong wants to win the world, it will be impossible to occupy Huainan completely. Only by occupying Jingxiang can there be a chance.

The reason is simple. The strategic significance of Huainan, where there are no war horses, is to protect the safety of Jiangdong; facing the heartland of the Central Plains, Jiangdong won Huainan and could not continue to compete northward.

Moreover, the current state of Wu is already the weakest among the Three Kingdoms!
Like sailing against the current, if Sun Quan did not leave a glimmer of hope for future generations, Wu would have to settle down in a corner in the future, waiting for the end of the Han and Wei dynasties to perish.

Moreover, this is the best time for Jiangdong to get Jingbei.

Because he can have both ways.

The Han and Wei dynasties were enemies of life and death, and Wu, as a third party, could have played by the wind.

For example, when the Han Dynasty was in decline, he formed an alliance with the Han Dynasty and worked together to resist the threat of the Wei State; but now when Wei was defeated by the Han, he turned to reach a consensus with the Wei State to contain it together. The prosperity and rise of the great Han.

Weigh the pros and cons for your own survival.

Moreover, he is not afraid of the front of the Han army.

Because the strength of the big Han is not many, and because Wei Guo will not stand idly by.

If the big man was annoyed by Jiangdong's repetition and betrayal, and dispatched a large army from Guanzhong to fight, Wei Guo would inevitably move upon hearing the news and try to drive the Han army out of Guanzhong; and he only needs to guard the city to escape disaster.

vice versa.

If the big man ignored him and continued to attack Wei State in Guanzhong with the whole country in an attempt to restore the old capital, then he would also raise troops to harass Hanzhong County and Yong'an.

Without him, the Han and Wei dynasties maintained the status quo, which is the situation that Jiangdong is most looking forward to.

Only in this way can the State of Wu have time to restore its national strength and have the opportunity to participate in the overall situation of the three-party game, instead of just watching the Han and Wei dynasties and waiting for their demise!

Furthermore, there will be no war between Wei and Wu in a short time.

There is no need for each other to worry about being backstabbed!
Well understood.

Wu Guo would never be able to defend Jingbei under the vanguard of the Han army without Wei Guo restraining the big Han.

In the same way, before Wei Guo expelled the Han army from Guanzhong, he would not personally destroy the help he had so hard to win.

In any case, whether it is Wei Guo or Wu Guo, they all urgently need time to restore their national strength, and they all need each other's help to tide over the difficulties.

As for the future.
What things in the world are immutable?
More than ten years ago, when Wu Guo and the Han Dynasty announced their alliance, Sun Quan never thought that Jiangdong would become the weakest!

Take a step, look at a step.

With this in mind, Sun Quan used the excuse of sending troops to attack Wei with the Han, and after taking over the Xiangfan front that Wei had replaced, he also wrote a letter and transferred it from the three eastern counties to Hanzhong.Very "joyfully" proclaimed Jiangdong's achievements, and very "compassionately" persuaded the big man to cherish the power of the people and not to resort to military and endless conquests.

This is the reason why the Prime Minister and Wei Yanbu only chased for half a day, and then turned back.

Although everyone in the Han Dynasty was mentally prepared for Jiangdong's betrayal, he also felt that even if Jiangdong betrayed, he would not be able to invade Nanzhong or Yong'an.

But no one thought that Wei Guo's courage was so great this time!

He actually sent the entire Jingxiang front to Jiangdong, so that Jiangdong could intimidate Hanzhong County!
The big Han was not ready to fight Wei and Wu at the same time, whether it was the storage of the treasury or the deployment of troops.

But what Sun Quan didn't know was that he made a mistake in this step.

And very wrong.

Perhaps, it was Wei Guo's deliberate intention to divert the disaster to the east.

After Cao Rui and Sima Yi went back from the strike, in terms of defense and deployment of troops, they obviously had the intention of sharing the customs with the big Han.

It is to divide the army into two parts.

One is to use Chang'an City as a post-garrison town, abandon Qixian County, and use Zuo Fengyi's Gukou County as an outpost defense point in the Jingshui River Valley, and form a matrix defense line with the defense lines of Zuo Fengyi's northern counties.

On the other hand, Huaili was used as a garrison point, Mei County was abandoned, and Meiyang and Wugong counties were used as outpost defense points to curb the continued eastward advance of the Han army.

This approach is equivalent to giving up space for the Han army to build a line of defense.

For example, the big Han only needs to use Chencang City as the back town, and garrison troops in Wuzhangyuan and Qishan, so that the newly acquired land in the rear does not need to worry about the flames of war; as long as they station troops in Qi County, they can threaten Jingzhao and Zuo Fengyi.

In other words, the big man only needs to leave an army of [-] to [-] to defend Guanzhong without any worries!
There is also spare energy to separate out several soldiers and horses, and turn to attack the country of Wu who broke the covenant!

But, will the big man attack the state of Wu?

"The Jiangdong rats are all treacherous, capricious villains!"

Wei Yan, who had just returned from his transfer of troops, when the prime ministers gathered to discuss matters, he had to plead for orders without waiting for others to speak, "Xiangfan's hatred has not yet snowed, and now he has betrayed my big man again. If you don't raise troops to fight against him, how can you pacify the common people? What a shame! If the prime minister gives me [-] elite soldiers to go east to Hanzhong, I will be able to break through the three counties in the east, recover all the counties in Jingxiang, and avenge the Marquis of Guan! For the hatred of the late emperor Xue Yiling!"

The one who was slow to plead for his life was naturally Guan Xing.

He, whose father and brother died at the hands of Jiangdong, was the one who most wanted to kill Sun Quan and flatten Jiangdong.

Now that I have the opportunity, how can I bear it?

As soon as Wei Yanfu asked for his order, his eyes turned red, and he went out to ask for orders, "Prime Minister, Xing also thinks that Jiangdong rats should not be allowed to repeatedly provoke our great Han Tianwei! If the prime minister intends to send troops to attack him, Xing asked for orders to use his headquarters as the main army. Ministry, death will never stop!"

Immediately afterwards, Fu Qian, who stood behind the prime minister as a reporter and had no right to speak, also came out in tears, and asked himself to be a pawn in attacking Wu.

The rest of the generals who were qualified to participate in the military discussion all echoed the statement that they should send troops to attack Wu.

Jiang Dong's backstab this time made everyone feel righteous indignation.

"Jiangdong betrayed the alliance. It is unforgivable to destroy my big man and return to the old days! Our army will definitely raise troops to fight for it!"

The prime minister saw that everyone was indignant, so he said in a voice of relief, "However, before we raise our troops, our army still needs to settle down in the Guanzhong area. Don't mess up the deployment because of Jiangdong. Well, everyone, go back and urge the soldiers first, and wait for me to show up." After the court, we will discuss the matter of dispatching troops."

When everyone heard the words, they all dispersed happily.

Only Zheng Pu, who had just rushed over from Yangcheng, was kept by the prime minister with a wink.
