The Three Kingdoms: The strategist will stop, and Rome will be unified

Chapter 278
Zhuge Liang looked at Zhao Feng and said, "It's a bit abnormal for Soochow not to take action at this time."

Others naturally noticed this too, but they couldn't figure out what Soochow was thinking for a while.

Guo Jia also analyzed it carefully, and then stepped forward and bowed and said, "My lord, in my opinion, Soochow has only two choices now, one is to surrender, and the other is to fight to the death and die!"

"It's just that I don't think Soochow will choose the former, but where Soochow wants to attack is a bit intriguing."

Everyone nodded their heads, showing serious expressions, and they all agreed with Guo Jia's opinion.

At this time, Soochow still had a half-state, Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, and the Cao army in Jiaozhou had already had a large army to contend with, so Soochow didn't have many troops here.

If they still have ideas, it is very likely that they came to attack Jingzhou.

Sure enough, Lu Su stepped forward and said, "My lord, Jingzhou has to be defended. This place has always been a battleground for military strategists."

Zhao Feng also nodded. There was a big reason why he was able to win Yizhou or Liangzhou so quickly, and that was because he won Jingzhou.

On the surface, Jingzhou was the most likely one, but Zhao Feng always felt that something was wrong.

Just as everyone was thinking, a burst of footsteps interrupted them.

"Report to the lord, Soochow has changed."

As soon as this remark came out, all the people present looked sharply at this person.

The scout looked around slightly, then looked at Zhao Feng and bowed.

Hearing this, Zhao Feng finally showed a smile on his face. Can Soochow hold back, is he about to stretch out his sharp claws now?

Then he looked at the scout and said lightly, "Say."

Under the gaze of everyone, the scout was a little nervous, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued: "Jiaozhou, all the soldiers in Soochow seem to have left."

"Today's Jiaozhou doesn't have any Soochow troops, only our [-] army."

Hearing this, everyone showed a hint of surprise. It was obvious that Soochow's abandonment of Jiaozhou was not what they expected.

"what?"

"Have all the soldiers of Soochow evacuated from Jiaozhou?"

Not only the people below, Zhao Feng also did not expect Soochow to give up Jiaozhou on its own initiative, Jiaozhou is not a small territory.

Although Yangzhou is also bordering Jingzhou, but without Jiaozhou, it would be meaningless for them to attack Jingzhou.

Thinking of this, Zhao Feng's face changed slightly, and then he said lightly: "Xu Chang, Soochow's goal is Xu Chang."

Now there are only a few states and counties that Yangzhou can attack.

By comparing Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Jingzhou, these three states can be guessed about Soochow's thoughts.

Everyone was only surprised for a moment, then their expressions returned to normal, and they all laughed.

"This Soochow Wu is quite courageous. He wants to directly control the entire capital, but he underestimates us too much, doesn't he?"

"Since they want to play, let's play with them."

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Soochow now has a maximum strength of 20 troops. Do you want to invade Xuchang with just this little force?"

Now that Cao Wei is the general trend, Soochow still wants to resist desperately.

Zhao Feng looked at the people below and said: "We have a lot of troops stationed in Yuzhou and Xuzhou, how dare his 20 troops invade my realm?"

"Soochow is about to cross the river to harass me, Xu Chang. That's fine, let him cross the river. We also have to cross the river. Jingzhou leads the army to directly attack Yangzhou and Huanglong."

"I want to see where the mere Soochow has the guts!"

Xuchang, in the prime minister's residence.

At this time, Cao Cao was admiring the words on the wall, which were written by Zhao Feng in his early years. In addition, the cost of the paper was very high, so he kept it very well.

"Prime Minister, things have changed!"

Xi Zhicai bowed behind Cao Cao with small steps and said.

This made Cao Cao frowned, turned around, looked at Xi Zhicai and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xi Zhicai let out a sigh of relief, with a sharp look in his eyes, "Soochow has undergone major changes. They withdrew all their troops in Jiaozhou and are now accumulating troops in Yangzhou. Their goal is most likely Xuchang."

"Our plan may have to be forcibly delayed for a while."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Cao Cao in front of him and observed his expression.

Although Xi Zhicai has been managing internal affairs, his abilities in other areas are not weak at all.

Regarding Soochow's intentions, he also guessed seven or eight, and the matter of Xuchang had to be postponed.

Cao Cao looked in the direction of Soochow and smiled, "Soochow is quite courageous, but fortunately, Zhao Feng had already expected this day."

"Now the troops around Xuchang can easily mobilize 20 troops."

After all, the current big man has no foreign aggression. The foreign race is guarded by the Gongsun family in Youzhou. All the troops have been dispatched to Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou. It is not surprising that there are 20 troops in Xuchang.

Anyway, Xuchang also exists as a capital.

Now that Zhao Feng and others are not here, the only generals in their hands are Dian Wei, Yu Jin, Gao Lan and others, but the same is true for Soochow, there are not many generals.

Cao Cao waved his hand, showing displeasure.

"Since this is the case, the plan will be delayed for a while. I didn't expect this thing to jump out at this time."

"Let Gao Lan and Yu Jin command the surrounding soldiers to prepare for the battle, and at the same time send spies to confirm."

Xi Zhicai nodded, bowed and turned to leave.

After Xi Zhicai left, Cao Cao showed a pensive look, the current Soochow has broken his big deal!
He brought troops here at this critical time. Under his influence, the court had just experienced a wave of turmoil, and now it was about to face another big battle. However, Cao Cao did not let go of his guard against Soochow.

Although Soochow has not made any movement yet, Cao Cao is waiting for their action.

Not only that, under Zhao Feng's arrangement, Jingzhou also began to secretly mobilize troops. As long as Dongwu crossed the river, he would dare to lead an army directly into Yangzhou!
Everyone is waiting for Soochow's movement, and now Soochow's every move can affect Soochow's life and death.

In the eyes of outsiders, it seems that the world has calmed down again. In less than ten years, there is only Soochow left in the world.

The whole world is benefiting thousands of families under the promotion of the farming system. Because of the original grain reserves, the grain tax has even been deliberately reduced in the past two years.

In terms of food, there has long been nothing to worry about, and there is only one place in the world that is worried about food, and that is Soochow.

Soochow, the capital Yuhang.

Because Yuzhou and Xuzhou have always been in the hands of Cao Wei, it is impossible for Soochow to set the capital in Moling as in history.

Moling was Jianye before the name was changed. Moling was close to Xuzhou, and as long as Xuzhou moved a little, they could be killed directly.

Sun Quan naturally did not dare to do this, but set his capital in Yuhang.

"Your Majesty, you should think about it."

Lu Xun looked at the person in front of him. At this moment, all the confidantes of Soochow gathered here.
