The Three Kingdoms in the Ya Nei

Chapter 394: An Unchangeable Fate

As expected, the soldiers of Jing and Qing stopped, and Jiangdong still guarded the front line of Huaibei, and did not make any further moves, which made Cao Cao secretly happy.However, after receiving Liu Zhang's letter, he couldn't help feeling distressed.

Lu Bu, who was stationed in Hanoi, was framed by Cao Cao and accused of regicide on his head. He understood the seriousness of the situation and immediately withdrew to Bingzhou.Immediately, he assigned six strong generals under his command, assigned heavy troops, strictly guarded the passes, gathered grass and stored food, recruited soldiers, and put on a desperate posture.

Cao Cao didn't care about this. He had a headache, but it didn't matter whether it was Qingzhou, Jingzhou, or Jiangdong. If he wanted to attack Lu Bu, he had to go through the territory under his control.

Bingzhou is located in the north, surrounded by the Sili, Henan, Yan, and Ji states controlled by him. It was originally a convenient location, but now it has become a seven-year itch when facing Liu Zhang and others. . [

In Liu Zhang's letter, Dayi solemnly stated that he would take advantage of the road and be the main force to attack Lu Bu.But borrowing the way... >

36 Ji Zi is very familiar with his personal reading, and the famous allusion of "destroying Guo on a false path" is not too long ago.Compared with the old Duke Xiangong of Jin, in Cao Cao's mind, the deceitful and dangerous factor of Liu Zhang today is only above it and not below it.

Make way for him, let his army flood into your own territory, let him go, when the time comes, the girl will really lose her face, and just take advantage of the situation to stay on her own ground to make troubles, wouldn't that be leading wolves into the house and looking for abuse by herself?

But if they don't agree, firstly, it is not in line with the righteous name of fighting against the traitors together; secondly, if they are not allowed to fight with Lu Bu, how can they achieve the goal of fighting between the snipe and the clam for the fisherman's profit?Cao Cao was a little distressed.

In the end, after gathering all the counselors to discuss, a decision was finally made.From time to time, Xun You said that the current situation is based on one's own interests. It is more important to retreat from the enemies of the four directions than to lose a few ruined cities; Down.

The strategy Xun You mentioned is actually nothing more than a sentence that many people in later generations know, that is: don't focus on the gains and losses of one city or one place.

Cao Jun's current primary strategic goal should be to quickly get out of the dilemma of being surrounded by enemies, and take the opportunity to drag Qingzhou into the war, so as to achieve the fundamental purpose of weakening it.

Cao Cao and all his counselors deeply agreed.However, in order to prevent the other party from playing tricks and making false plans to annihilate Guo, this opening allows the option of borrowing the road, so it is convenient to choose carefully.

Under the strategic decision to protect itself to the maximum extent and mobilize more forces to fight back in the future, it was decided to withdraw Cao Hong and Cao Ren from Fuyang and Qinghe.Open the northern half of Jizhou to allow Qingzhou to pass.

Jizhou had just gone through a war, and the city was dilapidated.Before getting a rest, for Cao Cao, he saw the harm before seeing the benefits.Almost because they want to let them recuperate, at the current stage, not only can they not extract profits, taxes, and population from it, but they also need to allocate materials and money to appease the people and repair buildings.Even more, in order to guard against Qingzhou, a full 7 troops were stationed there. The daily consumption of only [-] horses is a huge number.

Not to mention, Gongsun Xu of Liaodong in the northeast is also attacking Youxi aggressively at a time when everyone has no time to take care of it.Seeing that the land of Youxi is about to fall, presumably once the entire Youzhou is won, the next step is to covet the land of Jizhou.At that time, the land in northern Hebei will be the first to bear the brunt.So, the relief and appeasement at this time is not to make a wedding dress for others, which is cheap for Gongsunxu?
