Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 445 The situation in the world is determined by three points.

Time flies, and March has passed in a blink of an eye.

Now the situation in the world has initially become clear. After Li Chen captured Soochow, he has Xuzhou and Jiangdong, and he has become one of the few great warlords in the world.

The Great War in the Central Plains is still going on. Under Yuan Shao's fierce attack, Yan Wang Gongsun Zan has been retreating steadily.Now, even Gongsun Zan's old partner Liu Yu has turned to Yuan Shao, and now Gongsun Zan only has a base camp in Beiping.

After the defeat at Jieqiao, Gongsun Zan no longer had the capital to make a comeback. He built a tall building in Beiping and named it Yijing Tower.Gongsun Zan seemed to be in despair. He hoarded 30 shi of grain and grass in the Yijing Tower, drinking and having fun in the Yijing Tower all day long.

After Liu Bei won Zhuge Liang, under Zhuge Liang's suggestion, he abandoned Zhuojun and Beihai counties, and the whole army advanced into the land of Bashu, and now Hanzhong has been occupied.

Obviously, Liu Zhang in Bashu is not Liu Bei's opponent now, and it is only a matter of time before Liu Bei occupies the entire territory of Bashu.

Because Ma Teng was afraid of Cao Cao, he had withdrawn from the previously occupied Cao Cao's territory, and withdrew to Xiliang again.Moreover, it can be expected that once Cao Cao gets rid of Yuan Shu, he will have to get rid of Ma Teng.

Youzhou and Liangzhou are places where horses are raised, and in ancient warfare, cavalry was the most powerful. Cao Cao will have to settle in Liangzhou sooner or later, making Liangzhou his horse herding place.

The Central Plains War is still going on, but Li Chen is the most powerful force in the world today, followed by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

It is a foregone conclusion that Cao Cao took Yuan Shu's land and Yuan Shao took Beiping Gongsun Zan. As for Ma Teng and Liu Bei, they were just lingering.

Although the land of Bashu is precipitous, it is an excellent place for self-protection, but it is also very difficult to fight outside.

Liu Bei won Bashu, although he had a place to settle down and develop, but he also limited himself.

But then again, so far, this land of Bashu should indeed be the most suitable place for Liu Bei to settle down.

Weidi, Xudu.

Wei Wangfu.

"Cough cough!"

"Wei Wang, how do you think I can rule the world!" Guo Jia coughed hard and asked Cao Cao.

Hearing this, Cao Cao's hands trembled suddenly, and he was speechless for a long time.

The news of Li Chen's taking all of Jiangdong's territory has been thoroughly spread. After Cao Cao heard the news, his heart was shocked a few times. Li Chen unified Jiangdong, which was not good news for Cao Cao.

Although it is said that Li Chen and Cao Cao are now allies, this ally is based on the isolation of Cao Cao.But now, Li Chen has become the strongest prince in the world, and Cao Cao is forming an alliance with Li Chen, so it is undoubtedly seeking skin from a tiger.

"This"

"Unifying the world is easier said than done!" Cao Cao said with a sigh.

Facing Guo Jia, Cao Cao has nothing to brag about. Now, even Cao Cao, who has always been ambitious, feels very uneasy.

Today's Li Chen, with Xuzhou in his advance and Jiangdong in his retreat, is naturally invincible.In today's world, if you want to ask who is most likely to take over the world, it will undoubtedly be Li Chen.

Today, Cao Cao is not as good as Li Chen in terms of territory, Cao Cao is not as good as Li Chen in terms of military strength, and Cao Cao is not as good as Li Chen in terms of capable ministers and generals under his command.

Since Cao Cao can't compare to Li Chen in all these piles, how can Cao Cao be confident to win the world again!

"Wei Wang, we never imagined that the speed of Li Chen and Jiangdong is still higher than ours!"

"Nowadays, the situation in the world has changed, and we have to adapt accordingly. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with Li Chen!" Guo Jia said with a sigh.

Cao Cao has always listened to Guo Jia's words the most, but Cao Cao has always followed Guo Jia's advice.

"Feng Xiao, you can speak up if you have anything to say!"

"The lonely king never listened to the words of filial piety!" Cao Cao asked Guo Jia.

"King Wei, let's stop fighting south of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, let's fight Yuan Shao!" Guo Jia said solemnly, pointing to the map.

"what?"

"No more fights?" Cao Cao asked in surprise.

They have conquered most of Yuan Shu's territory now. Although Yuan Shu's territory is not big, it is very rich.Moreover, most of these relatively wealthy sites are in the south of the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River.

If according to Guo Jia's statement, they gave up the territory south of the Huaihe River, then the fight before was all for nothing.

"King Wei, you can only gain if you give up. Our army has no ships, and we are able to fight against Yuan Shu now because of the help of the Qin army and the navy."

"Now that the Qin army has freed up its hands, if the two of us turn our faces now, it will be easy for the Qin army to go south of the Huaihe River."

"Without ships, without a navy, how can we defend this land in the south of the Yangtze River. At this time and that time, if Jiangdong Sun Ce can stand in a stalemate with the Qin army, there is no problem for us to fight like this. Now that Jiangdong is destroyed, we will We have to change our strategy." Guo Jia said with a solemn expression.

Cao Cao thought about it for a while, and then said after a long time: "Feng Xiao, tell me how to fight this battle."

Guo Jia came to the map, pointed to the map and said, "King Wei, the situation in the world is now clear, and it must be divided into three parts."

"Now the most powerful person in the world is King Qin. King Qin sits in Xuzhou and Jiangdong. Now if King Qin wants to plan for the world, he has two options. One is to send troops from Jiangdong to the south and take Huainan, Jingxiang, Changsha and other places. The second option is to attack Yuan Shao from Xuzhou to the north."

"King Wei, if you were King Qin, where would you fight?"

After Guo Jia asked Cao Cao, he looked at Cao Cao with piercing eyes.Among the princes in the world, Guo Jia thought that Cao Cao and Li Chen had the most similar personalities.If these two people were born into ordinary families, they must be good friends.

Cao Cao looked at the map and said almost without hesitation: "Go south. If I were Li Chen, I must go south."

Flying to the south is mostly by water, and the Qin army's water army is now the only one in the world, and the water army and Qin army look down upon it.Whether it is attacking, transporting food, or transporting troops, the Qin army has an absolute advantage.

Moreover, the strongest person in the south gate is Yuan Shu, who has been beaten by Cao Cao and is half disabled.

However, it would be different if he went to the north. To fight Li Chen to the north, he would have to face Yuan Shao, who had just annexed Gongsun Zan and was very powerful.

There is almost no doubt about this choice. If Cao Cao were Li Chen, he would definitely have to fight south instead of north.

"Yes, that's right!"

"The King of Qin will definitely go south. After half a year, at most half a year, after the King of Qin stabilizes Jiangdong, he will definitely send his troops to the south."

"Half a year, King Wei, can we completely destroy Yuan Shu in half a year?" Guo Jia asked with a solemn expression.
