Shu Chen

Chapter 565
Sun Quan's letters were full of resentment.

Now that there are many scoundrels, they did not hesitate to hand over Xiangyang City to the Han army as a threat to make Cao Rui submit.

The reason why he was so shameless was that after Zheng Pu and Guan Xing were guarding the Bashan North Road camp, Jiangdong's request for the Wei army to attack together was rejected.Even Lu Xun and Zhu Ran's request to take the next best thing and go to Wudang County to rescue the Shangyong Tang Advisory Department from Qinling South Road was also strictly rejected.

So, of course, Sun Quan could not accept it.

The Jingxiang front and the three eastern counties were acquired by Jiangdong in exchange for territory, not a charity from the State of Wei!
Moreover, the previous consensus reached by the two parties was that the Han army should not be allowed to enter Guanzhong and return to the old capital. Now Jiangdong has attracted [-] troops from the Han army!

Half of the Han army's strength was restrained by Wu Guo!
And Wei Guo didn't take the opportunity to drive the Han army out of Guanzhong?

Is it actually thinking that the two countries of Han and Wu will continue to wear down for a longer period of time, so that they can reap the benefits of the fisherman?
It's true that Jiangdong can't be fooled at will!
Therefore, in his letters, he threatened to abandon Xiangyang City.

Because Gein could not rescue Shangyong's Tang Zibu, it was no longer profitable for Jiangdong to occupy Xiangyang City and defend the Wei State against the Han army's front.It's better to abandon it, go back and recuperate, and let the Han army continue to attack Wei.

Anyway, with the elite navy, the Han army will not invade Jingnan in a short time!

Jiangdong can defend himself without any worries!
Moreover, once the state of Wu gave up Xiangyang, it also meant that the war ended with the defeat of the state of Wu, and the Han army had already let out a bad breath, so they would naturally turn their troops to attack Chang'an.

In any case, returning to the old capital is the hope of the whole country of the Han army!
Cao Wei, who took over the emperor's crown from Han Xiandi, is the life and death enemy of the Han army!
Since the state of Wei, which bears the brunt, does not want to contribute, then the state of Wu does not intend to resist, and just sit together and wait for the Han army to return to the old capital, and let the destiny theory of "the Han Dynasty will continue, and the Han Dynasty will prosper" sweep the world.

At that time, Wu's internal affairs will inevitably usher in the internal thoughts and turmoil in counties and counties.

However, Wei Guo was buried with him.
sufficient!

It is conceivable how Luoyang Cao Rui felt after reading the letter.

In any case, he could not have expected that the person who was lamented by Wei Wu Cao Cao in the past as "having a child should be like Sun Zhongmou" would use this villain mentality as a means of coercion.

It's really incredible~
But after the astonishment passed, he also quickly summoned important ministers to plan how to cooperate with Jiangdong's deployment of troops.

Yes, Sun Quan's threats are very effective.

Everyone in Geinwei knew that Sun Quan's actions could not be speculated based on common sense.For example, this kind of thing that hurts both sides, he can definitely do it.

In fact, there is nothing to test.

Although Wei and Wu have temporarily made peace due to the situation, they still lack the basis of mutual trust.

It is impossible to fight together!

That is to say, if he wanted to resolve Sun Quan's grievances, Cao Rui had no choice but to allow them to use the South Qinling Road to rescue Shangyong County.

But Cao Rui was not reconciled to such a result.

He transferred the Jiangxia County and Jingxiang battle lines to Jiangdong in the face of domestic scholars and Qing Shi's verbal criticism, in order to let Wu State continue to consume the national power of Bashu and give Wei State a chance to recover Guanzhong.

It's even a chance to recover Yongliang completely!

But now, the war has only lasted for a few months, and Jiangdong is already out of support?

So what is the point of his previous actions!
Besides, he didn't think that if Hu Zhi, the governor of Jingzhou, gave way, Wu would be able to reverse the war in the three eastern counties - he no longer wanted to compete with Ni Shu for the three eastern counties, but it was just for the sake of the Tang Zibu Just come out.

The most unacceptable thing for Cao Rui was that the attack against Jiangdong against Shu did not bring Wei the opportunity to fight in Guanzhong again.

Indeed, as Sun Quan said in the war, Nishu used more than [-] troops, half of the country's troops!

But in the war on the southern front, the nearly [-] soldiers and horses that entered Jiaozhou were soldiers and horses guarding Nanzhong, not soldiers and horses stationed in Guanzhong to fight fiercely with Wei Guo!
And the [-] troops who besieged Shangyong City and the northern road of Saiba Mountain
Is it difficult for Nishu to enter Guanzhong from the three eastern counties?

Even if the Wei State used the power of the whole country to attack the Wei Yan tribe stationed in Qishan and the Jiang Wei tribe in Wuzhangyuan, could it be defeated before Nishu entered the pass from the three eastern counties to help?

The answer is that there is no need to scrutinize.

After all, Cao Rui couldn't count on Wu Jun being able to contain Shu Prime Minister Zhuge Liang's and Zheng Pu's troops in the three eastern counties, or to attack Hanzhong County, preventing them from rushing to help Guanzhong.

Therefore, after much deliberation, he decided to help Jiang Dong.

It was Xia Houba who was currently stationed in Jingzhao County as the main general, and Pu Zhong who had entered the pass from Jingzhou in the past as his deputy. A combined force of about 5000 people entered the three eastern counties from Ziwu Valley to help in the battle.

To be precise, it is to restrain some Shu soldiers for Jiangdong.

Ziwu Valley is at the exit of the southern foot of Qinling Mountains, between Huangjin Shuwei and Xicheng.

After Xiahouba led the army to enter, there was no need to attack, but only to rein in the troops at the mouth of the valley, which was to force Nishu to transfer grain and fodder from Hanzhong County to the grain road of the three eastern counties.

Ling Nishu had to send troops to defend!

In this way, it will also make it easier for Jiangdong to rescue Shangyong.

Naturally, it also made the battle between Bashu and Jiangdong more tragic, and made the situation change in the direction Wei Guo expected.

As for whether this move will attract Nishu to enter Ziwu Valley to attack Xiahou Ba's tribe~~
No need to worry.

Let me ask, Nishu has used more than [-] troops to fight Jiangdong in the three eastern counties, how many troops can still be defending in Hanzhong County?

And how to squeeze out enough troops to attack Xiahou Ba's troops?
Could it be possible to send troops back from Guanzhong again?

If so, Cao Rui couldn't wish for it!
After Cao Rui's edicts were passed on to Hu Zhi and Xia Houba respectively, Sima Yi, the governor of Yongliang, also sent a letter to Luoyang to make up for the dispatch.

It is claiming that even if Wei Guo borrowed a way to join Jiangdong, it would not make the war protracted.

Therefore, he wanted to ask Cao Rui to prepare for the war with General Wang Chang, who is now stationed in Xuchang, Yuzhou, and Hu Zhi, the governor of Jingzhou, who is stationed in Wancheng, Nanyang. The horses attacked Bashan North Road, and the Wei State soldiers and horses attacked Qinling North Road. The two countries joined forces to fight, making this war more protracted!

Make Nishu unable to transfer these troops to Guanzhong!
It also made Jiangdong unable to withdraw and leave, and continued to consume the war background against Shu along with Wei!
And as long as this war lasts for a year or so, Wei Guo will have the opportunity to regain Youfufeng in Guanzhong and Anding County in Longdong.

After paying the price of the Jingxiang front and Jiangxia County, and making peace with Jiangdong, it was hard to provoke a war between Nishu and Wu. How can Nishu come and go freely?
When Cao Rui heard about it, he naturally followed good advice.

Therefore, in early winter and early October, the three eastern counties ushered in dense battle clouds.

In Jiangdong, about [-] soldiers were led by Lu Xun and Quan Cong to attack the Bashan North Road guarded by Guan Xing; Zhu Ran and Mianzhong Governor Zhang Liang led [-] soldiers to march from the Qinling South Road to look at the Dushui River Valley.

Xia Houba and Pu Zhongyi marched into Ziwu Valley.
