The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

From the day he returned to Xiangyang, Long Fei did not hold any major celebrations.The war has just ended, but they in Jingzhou cannot enjoy peace and happiness.Jingzhou is the place of the Four Wars, and there are not many powerful enemies in the surrounding forest, not to mention the enemies hidden in the dark watching them.How to survive in the hands of these people is the key.

As the head of the intelligence department, Xu Shu received different intelligence from all directions every day.Cao Cao was hurt by them in the Battle of Chibi, and Sun Quan was shocked by them, but Liu Bei in the west did not stop.With the help of Zhuge Liang and other black ice personnel, Liu Bei has already reached Jiameng Pass, and he is about to approach the city of Chengdu.In order to guard against Long Fei, Liu Bei appointed general Guan Yu to guard Jiangzhou, and the momentum of attacking Chengdu became more violent.

In addition, there is also a message from Xiliang.After Ma Teng's death, the eldest son Ma Chao took over Ma Teng's army, and with the help of Han Sui, he prepared to attack Hanzhong.Hanzhong is a rich and prosperous place. With Ma Chao's bravery, after taking Hanzhong, there will be enough soldiers and food, and it will be easy to seize the three auxiliary lands.

After listening to Xu Shu's report, Jia Xu frowned: "Although Cao Cao and Sun Quan were defeated, Liu Bei and Ma Chao were even more arrogant. If the two of them join hands and come from the west, we will just be blocking Liu Bei's stumbling block. How bad luck will be. !"

Long Fei smiled: "What Wen He said is very true, what can you do?"

Jia Xu said: "My subordinates think that they can be ruled by division. Ma Teng is General Fubo, and although Ma Chao is in charge of Xiliang, his name is not right. My lord let Ma Chao become the prince in the name of His Majesty, so that Ma Chao can be won over. On our side, even if we want to unite, it is impossible."

Everyone nodded.Pang Tong chuckled: "That's just one thing. Second, we need to send troops to go to Xincheng, pass Shangyong, and attack from the side of Hanzhong. First, we can take Shangyong as our defense against the west. Second, it can also help Ma Chao. , Let Ma Chao regard us as allies!"

Long Fei laughed loudly: "Okay! Killing two birds with one stone is indeed a good plan!"

Xun Yu thought for a while: "Then let's ignore the matter of Yizhou for the time being?"

"No, no, no...!" Pang Tong waved his hands again and again: "Liu Bei's army has arrived in Chengdu, and officials at all levels have surrendered one after another. If we can gain a firm foothold in Yizhou, it will be difficult for us to attack until then, and now may be the best time!"

"So we are going to fight on two fronts?" Xun Yu's expression was a little painful when he heard this.During these years in Jingzhou, Xun Yu managed the political affairs and could be said to be Jingzhou's chief steward.Every time the matter of money and food was mentioned, it was as if he wanted to cut off the flesh of Xun Yu.So Xun Yu got the nickname of a money fan.

Dian Wei said contemptuously: "You money fanatic, where do you come from if you don't fight wars? Where do you get money and food if you don't have a place? These money and food belong to the common people. Every time you hear about wars, you are afraid, and you are not allowed to go to the battlefield. You are afraid of being a bird." ?”

"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter.Long Fei glared at Dian Wei fiercely: "When you fight a war, you know how to fight and kill. Don't you know that the ancients said that the soldiers go up to fight with each other, the middle soldiers fight with each other, and the middle soldiers fight with each other? It is the best policy, people will die in war, and those soldiers are also the sons of their parents, the husbands of their wives, how sad will their families be when they die?"

When everyone heard this, they were all speechless.Xun Yu bowed deeply to Long Fei: "My lord is kind, the world will be saved!"

Long Fei smiled and helped Xun Yu up: "Wen Ruo is also a person who loves the people, you and I are each other, in your opinion, how can we avoid war on both sides?"

Guo Jia stood up at this time and said: "It's simple, just go all the way with Shaopai. My lord seems to have forgotten that I have another Xian Yufu."

After Guo Jia's reminder, Long Fei understood what he meant after thinking about it.Xian Yufu was his secret weapon. In the last battle of Hebin Village, when Yu Jin and Cao Ren surrounded Ling Tong, it was Xian Yufu who led his [-] Shadow Legion to take advantage of the chaos and attack Cao Jun's warship.Although everyone was suspicious afterwards, they did not find any trace of Long Fei sending troops.

Long Fei laughed and said, "Shen Cai really is a Shen Cai, with only [-] soldiers and horses, Wen Ruo should have no objection?"

Immediately, Long Fei ordered that with Xu Huang as the commander, Guan Hai as the deputy general, and Lu Meng as the marching lieutenant, he would lead an army of [-] troops to set off from Xiangyang to attack Xincheng.In addition, he sent Xian Yufu to lead his shadow army to sneak into Yizhou, not to fight for the city, but to harass Liu Bei's army and slow down Liu Bei's attack on Chengdu.Jiang Gan was dispatched to Xiliang, and Ma Chao was conferred the title of General Fubo, and Han Sui was named General Jianwei, commanding the troops of Xiliang.

Just as everything was arranged and everyone got up and was about to leave, Xu Shu received another message from Ye City.Cao Cao has sent Jiang Ji to Xiangyang to take back Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers.

When Xu Shu heard this, he immediately said angrily: "This Cao Cao is so shameless, he still has the face to demand someone!"

Pang Tong said: "What's the matter? Now that the war is over, the grievances between the two families have come to an end. Xiahou's family is Cao Cao's family. There is nothing wrong with wanting to return his own people. As long as suitable conditions are given, it will be fine to let them go." Not impossible!"

Guo Jia also said: "At first Cao Cao was asked to exchange Yiyang, Zaoyang, and Pingchun for the three cities, but Cao Cao refused. Now I don't know what he will exchange. In my opinion, Xingyang is a good place to guard the gate of Luoyang. , after we take Yizhou and then occupy Liangzhou, the two big cities of Chang'an and Luoyang can be won without a fight!"

"Fengxiao is so bold!" Jia Xu said with a smile: "I don't know how long it will take to take Yizhou and occupy Liangzhou. Are you planning now?"

Everyone laughed again.Long Fei waved his hand: "Okay, okay, hurry up and do what you need to do. As for whether you want Xingyang, we can wait until that Jiang Ji comes!"

Jiang Ji took Cao Cao's deep entrustment.Cao Cao suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Chibi. Cao's family and Xiahou's family were both his own families, but these two families were the ones who were injured.Cao Ren was killed in battle, and Xiahou brothers were captured. All this was a heavy blow to Cao Cao.After returning to Yecheng, people from the clan came to Cao Cao to cry, but Cao Cao couldn't avoid it, so he endured the headache and sent Jiang Ji to Jingzhou to ask for someone.

Before leaving, Dong Zhao said to Cao Cao: "My lord, at the beginning Longfei wanted to exchange the three cities of Zaoyang, Yiyang, and Pingchun, but my lord refused. I'm afraid Longfei will speak loudly if he goes this time!"

Cao Cao sighed: "Let's go! I want to see where he wants Long Fei? Is it possible that I still need Yecheng?"

"Yecheng is not. I guess from my subordinates, it is at least around Luoyang!" Dong Zhao trusted Cao Cao after returning from Chibi, and Yan Ran was already comparable to Cheng Yu, which made the other counselors extremely jealous.

Liu Ye sneered and said, "Luoyang has already been burned down by Dong Zhuo, and the people have been moved to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo. Why does he want Luoyang? If it were me, I would not want it!"

Dong Zhaodao: "Because you are not Long Fei, you can't see Long Fei's purpose. Long Feihu sees the world, and his goal is definitely not the little Jingzhou. Yizhou and Xiliang are both in his plan. Take the two Land, plus Luoyang, the perfect land of three assistants, land of four fortresses, Long Fei, the most difficult bone in the world, can be won without a fight!"

When Dong Zhao said this, many people thought it was very possible.If Long Fei really did what Dong Zhao said, half of the country to the west of the Great Han fell into Long Fei's hands, then there would be no need to talk about the following things.Cao Cao sighed: "The military adviser is right, but now, we have someone in his hands, so what if we don't agree?"

Dong Zhaodao: "My lord, don't worry, I have a plan to make Long Fei dispel the idea of ​​occupying Luoyang!"

"Oh! Say it quickly!" The expression on Cao Cao's face immediately improved a lot.

Dong Zhao said slowly: "My lord, you can give Runan to Long Fei. Compared with Luoyang, Runan is richer and located in the Central Plains. Long Fei's purpose of not living in the east of Xiangshui is to worry about the attack of our soldiers in Runan. , his Wancheng is hanging outside alone, that's why Long Fei left the government in Xiangyang. If the lord is willing to give up Runan, Long Fei will definitely be overjoyed. I mean, secondly, this Runan Longfei will not let it go sooner or later, let Longfei take it like the Pingchun Three Cities, it would be better to exchange for the two generals Xiahou!"

"No, no, absolutely not!" Cheng Yu interrupted hastily: "Runan is our barrier against Long Fei. Without Runan, Chenliu would become an isolated city. Long Fei could drink the Yellow River at any time. We Aren't the states in the Central Plains in danger?"

"Yes! Yes!" Many ministers discussed with Cheng Yu.Jiang Ji, who is about to go on a mission, is a little embarrassed, he doesn't know what to do?If Cao Cao can't make up his mind, he can't just agree to Long Fei's request, which will make Long Fei feel insincere, and it won't be good for releasing Xiahou brothers: "My lord! I think that although Sanfu's land is good, it's closer to Xi'an. Liang is easy to be attacked, and we are out of reach, but Runan is the land of the Central Plains, giving up Runan is better than giving up Luoyang!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath, and seemed to become indecisive.He really wanted to follow Dong Zhao's idea, and Dong Zhao must have said that he missed it once, but he didn't want to give up Runan, so he hesitated.Cao Pi said to Cao Cao: "Father, Luoyang is the land of Longxing. The Han Dynasty was here for the twelfth dynasty. It would be unlucky to abandon Luoyang. My child thinks what Dong Junshi said has some truth. It is better to fight on all sides than to oppose each other!"

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Pi, and couldn't believe his ears. Cao Pi surprised Cao Cao by saying such a thing, and repeated it involuntarily: "Three sides are strong, and things are opposite!" He let out a heavy breath: "Okay! Listen to what the military adviser said, Jiang Ji, you must not give up Luoyang when you go here!"
