Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 824

"You won't tell Gu that Cao Zhen was also defeated by the plague, right?" Sun Quan asked excitedly.

Hu Ke shook his head and replied: "After Liu Bei's army conquered Chencang and occupied Chang'an in the first month, Empress Cao Zhen led his army to bypass Chang'an from Longshan Road, but was stopped by Huang Zhong and Wei Yan in Weishui River. During the confrontation between the two armies, Zhang Fei led his troops to repel Liangzhou Inspector Zhang Ji captured Wangyuan, Jixian and other big cities in Tianshui County, but Cao Zhen had to retreat to Anding because of the interruption of the food road at Jieting."

"Hehe." Sun Quan let out a strange laugh, and then showed an unbelievable expression, "What kind of waste is Cao Pi deploying on the western front? I remember that Zhang was also a famous minister of Wei State, and he made great contributions to Cao Cao's pacification of Yongliang. Contribution, but according to the defense of the city, it is no match for Zhang Fei? How many people does Liu Bei have in Guanzhong? The soldiers and horses stationed in Tongguan don't know how to go out of the pass?"

"Eh, although Zhang Fei doesn't have many troops, he has a few insiders who have broken the city under his command. In addition, Ma Chao, who is so powerful in Xiliang, is there. Yuan guard Zhao Yuji was killed in battle, Zhang Ji was finally defeated and retreated to Longxi County, and Wei general Zhu Ling once came out of Tongguan to support Cao Zhen, but was blocked by Zhao Yun in Huayin." Hu Ke's voice became weaker and weaker.

Internal response, mutiny?Sun Quan thought of Lu Xun again, and said to himself that it was fortunate that Sun Bu escaped back, otherwise Jiangdong might also have a major incident. Why does Liu Bei like to play provocative so much?
"Cao Zhen retreated to An Ding, Zhang retreated to Longxi, Zhao Yun blocked Tongguan and Zhu Ling, wouldn't Liu Bei stand in Guanzhong? As long as Guan Yu can restrain Cao Xiu, Yongliang will be lost sooner or later. Liu Xuande is coming fiercely, this is unstoppable Already?" Sun Quan frowned.

"The Wei State stopped the war in Yongliang by killing, so the Qiang and Hu people rebelled constantly. Now Zhang Fei occupies Tianshui. With Ma Chao's prestige in the hearts of the Qiang and Hu people, it is only a matter of time before Liangzhou is completely conquered." Hu Ke nodded in agreement.

"No, no." Sun Quan stood up and paced in place. Liu Bei's strength made him restless.

Because of the constant rebellion in Wei State, and the presence of the Yangtze River and the elite navy in the east of the Yangtze River, Sun Quan was not very worried about Wei being able to destroy Wu. On the contrary, Liu Bei’s side has accumulated a lot of money, and now he is also in danger of occupying the Yangtze River. If he completely breaks with Soochow, he is worried about resisting Can't live.

"I have to help Cao Pi, otherwise my lips will die and my teeth will be cold." Sun Quan made up his mind.

Hu Ke asked curiously: "Jiangdong's soldiers have just defeated Huainan, and they have recently been mobilizing defense areas. I'm afraid they don't have the energy to help?"

"Has Jiaozhou made any moves? What happened to the entrapment army? The Shijia easily lost Jiaozhi. Lantian won't let the entrapment army rest?" Sun Quan brought the topic back to Lantian.

"According to what was mentioned by the merchant ship returning from Guangzhou, last month the entrapment army boarded the ship in Panyu Port, and the fleet went to the north along the Yushui, perhaps to support the Jingbei battlefield." Hu Ke replied.

"It must be." The corner of Sun Quan's mouth slightly raised, and then he said confidently: "Three years ago, when Guan Yu and Cao Cao fought in Nanyang, Lantian sent an army to support them. Guan Yu's pressure now is not easier than last time, especially According to the information that Cao Ren Huainan's troops are going to support, even if Lantian doesn't want to send troops, Guan Yu will probably write a letter to ask for help. Liu Bei is now in Guanzhong, and the only thing he can count on is Lantian."

"It should be like this, but Cao Ren died of illness after all, and the soldiers and horses in Huainan did not participate in the battle. Are we going to take advantage of the emptiness of Guangzhou and gather troops to attack Guangzhou?" Hu Ke asked curiously after finishing speaking.

Sun Quan shook his head slightly, "This guy from Lantian is too cunning, Gu can't fail this time, so we have to wait for the evolution of the Jingbei battlefield."

"Uh, then." Hu Ke was at a loss.

"Zecheng, you wait for Gu for a while, and give Cao Pi a letter of Guxiu's letter. If he can boldly adopt it, he will definitely be able to defeat the red-faced thief, and he may even leave behind the army."

After saying that, Sun Quan threw his robes away, and Sun Quan knelt down in front of the desk, ready to write a letter. Hu Ke had a good eye for people and things, and when he saw this, he immediately followed him to pass paper and study ink. He wanted to know what kind of scheme Sun Quan had, but he was so loud .

Sun Quan mentioned the writing with a brush, and Hu Ke was terrified when he read the letter. He said that Cao Pi really dared to use his tricks, and it was really possible to win, but it was hard to say whether Cao Pi would agree.

Sun Quan suggested that all the soldiers infected with the epidemic in Huainan be sent to the front line of Jingbei to die, and the plague was passed on to the other side through the war. Because the combat effectiveness of the infected soldiers was low, in order to successfully infect Guan Yu's army, Cao Pi had to give up a considerable number of normal soldiers. End the fight with a lose-lose situation.

Wei's army had more soldiers than Guan Yu's, and the Jingzhou army could collapse completely as long as the same number of casualties were controlled.

"Zecheng, what do you think?" Sun Quan asked proudly, pointing to the letter paper.

"Your Majesty's plan is too heroic, and the strength of Wei will be greatly reduced. Cao Pi may not adopt it." Hu Ke replied with cupped fists.

Sun Quan frowned and said solemnly: "This is called dying and rebirth. Cao Pi doesn't even have the courage. What can he do to defeat Guan Yu and Liu Bei? Wei Guo will be defeated by him sooner or later. If he encounters this kind of problem alone, Absolutely no doubts."

Hu Ke nodded in agreement on the surface, but he felt a sigh of relief in his heart. In short, standing up and talking does not hurt his back. If Cao Pi asked you to fight, I am afraid it would be a different tone.

After the ink on the letter on the case was dry, Hu Ke folded it and put it in an envelope, only to hear Sun Quan's instructions: "Zecheng, send someone to send the letter to Luoyang as soon as possible, and secretly contact Chen Qun to make this happen. If Chen Qun hides his unwillingness to help, you can threaten him with Brother Sima, we have taken care of him for long enough."

"Uh, General Mo just wanted to ask for instructions, because he has been staying in Jiefanwei for a long time, and he has no time to supervise the Sima brothers. They have grown up now, and staying in Yu's Trading Company will mislead their children. The two of them bear blood and deep feud. In fact, they can be transferred. After training in the camp, he will use it to defeat Wei Ke as a vanguard." Hu Ke said with his fists clasped.

Sun Quan had to answer: "The enemy of the Sima family must be in the state of Wei, and the suzerain of the Cao family is the most suspected. Zecheng's proposal is quite good. Pay attention to instilling hatred between the two brothers, and it is not in vain to eat Jiangdong for a few years."

"Wei." After Hu Ke finished speaking, he added, "Brother Sima came from a famous family, and although they are not yet in their prime, since the two of them were allowed to join the army in advance, the general suggested that they should be given letters to show the king's love for them. "

"Good." Sun Quan nodded affirmatively, and then said to himself: "It's just Shi and Zhao. What should I say?"

"Uh" Hu Ke hesitated to speak.

Sun Quan pointed to Hu Ke and said, "Zecheng, if you have good suggestions, you might as well share them for details."

"After getting along with them for the past two years, although the Sima brothers come from the same mother, they have completely different personalities. If you train them well, you may become a great weapon. Sima masters martial arts, and Sima Zhao appreciates literature. Why don't the king show them with literature and martial arts?" Hu Hu Ke clasped his fists to make a suggestion.

"Shangwu, Shangwen?"

"How about Marquis Wu and Marquis Wen? The connotation of being a Marquis based on civil and military governance is quite good. Chen Qun should like it very much."

Sun Quan smiled and nodded, "Although it's a little blunt, but the meaning is very good, so it's decided, and I sincerely send a big gift to Brother Sima, he should recognize you as a foster father."

"Brother Sima came from a prominent family, but how can the general come from a humble background? I will tell the two brothers that these two names were given by the king." Hu Ke waved his hands quickly.

"Zecheng, don't talk about the poor family. The Zhang family in Jiangdong is a big family. Now you are the governor of the left division of Xiefanwei. Sooner or later you will be the backbone of the Zhang family. You must seize the right to speak in the Zhang family and affect other gentry families." Sun Quan is serious. Said.

"only."
