The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Yan Xing killed Han Sui, and the matter of proclaiming himself the king of Xiliang caused a big wave among several princes.The first one who couldn't bear it was Cao Cao. In order to take Xiliang, Cao Cao stationed heavy troops in Chang'an. In the case of continuous natural disasters in the four prefectures of Hebei, he raised funds from various sources and tried his best to ensure that Chang'an soldiers and horses could eat and drink.In addition, although Han Sui did not surrender, he did not make things difficult for himself.This Yan Xing proclaimed himself the King of Xiliang as soon as he came up, and his wolf ambition was clearly revealed.

"Yan Xinghe Dehe Neng proclaimed himself the king of Xiliang, this is to completely make our enemy!" Cao Cao was furious, and all the counselors around him bowed their heads and refused to join them.Cao Cao said loudly: "Order Chang'an Xiahou Yuan to destroy Xiliang!"

"Wait a minute, my lord!" Dong Zhao hurriedly said, "Yan Xing picked the clown, don't worry, my lord, Long Fei has been eyeing Xiliang for a long time, why don't my lord let Long Fei take the lead? Xiliang is a place of bitter cold, It is not easy for Long Fei to govern, and while Long Fei is going west, the lord can send troops to the south, take Jiangdong in one fell swoop, and rule the north and south with Long Fei, it is also a good way!"

Liu Ye smiled and said: "Master Dong, are you confused? Jiangdong is under the protection of the Dragon Army and the Navy, and Long Fei's navy warships are huge. We can't go through this Yangtze River natural moat. How can we occupy Jiangdong? ?”

Dong Zhao took a look at Liu Ye: "No matter how many Longfei sailors are, we can't send people to guard every crossing of the Yangtze River! The army can be broken down into pieces, and after crossing the Yangtze River, it will return to construction. Such a Longfei navy can do nothing. No!"

Jiang Ji has been thinking for a long time, and now he said: "That being said, I believe that our territory must be full of spies from the Long Army, and the movement of our army is definitely under the supervision of Long Fei. It is definitely not easy to mobilize the army. It is better to send someone to Jiangdong to persuade Sun Quan!"

Cao Cao turned his head and glanced at Cheng Yu.Although Dong Zhao's status is now in full swing, Cheng Yu is still the first in Cao Cao's mind.At the critical moment, Cheng Yu's opinion was extremely important.Seeing Cao Cao looking at him, Cheng Yu coughed lightly and interrupted the discussion of several people: "My lords are right, we really need to expand our territory as soon as possible, not to mention Jiangdong is rich in products, which can solve our current urgent need! But do you have any questions?" Think about it, since we all know that Jiangnan is good, doesn't Long Fei know? Will he just watch us take Jiangdong?"

Cheng Yu glanced at the crowd: "If you were Long Fei, who captured Xiliang or was annexed by others, what would you do?" Without waiting for everyone to answer, Cheng Yu immediately said: "If it was me, even if I have already captured Wuwei Under the city, we will immediately withdraw our troops and return to aid Jiangdong!"

Cheng Yu's words left everyone speechless.Cao Cao followed with a sigh, without saying a word, and slowly went to the back hall.Cheng Yu hurriedly followed.The debate in the lobby resounded again, and the main combat faction headed by Dong Zhao clearly had the upper hand. Coupled with Cao Pi's opinion, many people fell on Dong Zhao's side.On the contrary, the voices of those who disapproved of the attack gradually weakened.

Cao Cao did a good job and looked at Cheng Yu: "You really don't support attacking Jiangdong?"

Cheng Yu shook his head: "Jiangdong is fertile and wild, and it is a famous land of fish and rice. Sun Quan has been restricted by Long Fei these years and has not developed militarily, but he has made great progress in politics. If he can win Jiangdong, it will not only break Long Fei's attack from the west and the south The plan also won us a treasure land!"

"Then you?" Cao Cao was a little puzzled, why Cheng Yu didn't agree to attack just now.

Cheng Yu smiled: "My lord, do you think it is a good thing to discuss this matter in the court? I can guarantee that if the lord agrees to send troops, these things will reach Long Fei's ears in a few days!"

"Hahaha..." Cao Cao pointed at Cheng Yu: "Everyone in the world says I am suspicious, but you are even more suspicious than me! Very good, let's talk about your plan!"

Cao Cao and Cheng Yu conspired to attack Jiangdong, and several people in the prefect's mansion of Chang'an were also conspiring.Xia Houyuan, who was sitting on top of his hands, frowned and said nothing.Zhang Ji also listened attentively and did not make any interruptions.Only Jiang Wei talked eloquently.Jiang Weidao: "Now that Han Sui's death in Xiliang is just a good time to send troops, Xiliang soldiers are divided into ten divisions, each in the hands of Han Sui and several generals. If the general sends troops, he can take down Wuwei in one fell swoop!"

Zhang Jidao: "But according to the news, Han Sui's death did not cause civil strife in Xiliang. On the contrary, they also elected Yan as the king of Xiliang, which just shows his determination to defend Xiliang with the same hatred!"

Jiang Wei said with a smile: "The prefect has been in Chang'an for so long, and has dealt with everyone in Xiliang for so long, yet he doesn't know the relationship between them. It's true that although Yan Xing is Han Sui's son-in-law, he doesn't care about Han Sui. I have sent people to Wuwei to find out the cause of Han Sui's death. It was not the rumored death of illness, but he was killed by Yan Xing. Yan Xing controlled the soldiers and horses in Han Sui's hands. Once it arrives, it will definitely fall apart.”

Xia Houyuan was still hesitating: "I also know what Jiang Xiaowei said, it is indeed a golden opportunity, but the elder brother has no intention of taking Xiliang, we send troops, if we are attacked by Long Fei, we will lose troops and horses , if there is a mistake in Chang'an, I will be guilty of a great crime!"

Zhang Ji nodded: "En! What General Xiahou said is very true, this matter should be discussed and discussed!"

Jiang Weidao: "As long as the general is careful, I have a way to prevent Long Fei from spying on Chang'an!"

"Oh?" Xia Houyuan came alive: "You can tell me!"

Jiang Weidao: "Long Fei pointed out that he hoped that we would go to war with Xiliang, and he would reap the benefits of being a fisherman. We can take advantage of this and make Long Fei feel that we just want to compare with Yan Xing. In order to keep Chang'an, we will never go deep The meaning of Xiliang! Moreover, although it is not far from Hanzhong to Chang'an, there are mountains blocking it. No matter how fast Long Fei is, it will take half a month to send troops to Chang'an, but from Chang'an to Wuwei cavalry can be reached in five days. In this way, we have Ten days! The soldiers are on the border, and Xiliang is at your fingertips. I guarantee that I will take Wuwei in less than ten days!"

Zhang Ji took a deep breath: "This is a bit risky, if you lose the bet, the consequences will be too serious!"

"Hahaha..." Jiang Wei laughed loudly: "The battle in ancient times was not a gamble. As the saying goes, it depends on whether the general has the courage to win or not! If the general agrees, I will be the guide."

Xia Houyuan was still hesitating: "This matter is of great importance, let me think about it!"

Jiang Weidao: "Generals who lead troops in battle should know that the opportunity for war is fleeting. If Long Fei takes the lead, not to mention Xiliang, Chang'an is in danger. Long Fei takes Xiliang, and his next target is Chang'an. With us now How long does the general think this Chang'an can last?"

The change in Xiliang affected the hearts of several princes.Especially Long Fei who stayed in Hanzhong.Meng Shuo took Tianshui in the name of Cao Jun, but Cao Jun who was hiding in Chang'an was reluctant to launch an attack. It was also a way to do it himself, but he was worried about Jiangdong.Although Jiangdong is watched by his own navy, he must have been unable to guard the thousands of miles along the Yangtze River.Attacking Xiliang by myself, and Cao Cao meddling in Jiangdong was the last thing I wanted to see.According to his plan with Guo Jia and others, the best result is to wait for Cao Cao to take Xiliang, trap Cao Cao's men, and then attack by himself, so that Cao Cao has no time to look around. This is the best result.

"Cao Cao is indeed a smart man, he seems to have smelled something!" Holding the report he just received in his hand, Xu Shu said to the crowd, "Cao Cao not only did not increase his troops to Chang'an, but sent troops to Hefei, led by General Jin, Le Jin, Li Dian is the assistant, and transferred Xuzhou Zang Ba, the target seems to be Jiangdong!"

"Cao Cao is really old and cunning, and he saw the key at a glance!" Long Fei smiled slightly, turned to Guo Jia and said, "What advice does Feng Xiao have? Should we send all the navy to the Yangtze River to force Cao Cao to give up his plan to attack Jiangdong? "

Guo Jia coughed lightly: "Jiangdong's affairs will be resolved by Jiangdong people! These years, Jiangdong seems to be quieter because there is no navy, but Sun Quan has not been idle. He appointed Lu Su as the governor and focused on training infantry. If we can't fight against us, it shouldn't be a big problem to defend Jiangdong. If Cao Cao really attacks, we will just cooperate with the inside and outside, and we will completely annihilate Cao Cao's troops!"

"So, Feng Xiao supports the attack on Xiliang?" Long Fei asked.

Guo Jia shook his head: "Xiliang is bitterly cold. Yan Xing has just proclaimed himself the king of Xiliang. Although the internal conflicts have intensified, they have not been fully exposed. At this time, sending troops is just for the people of Xiliang to let go of their hostility for the time being. If the lord wants to take Xiliang smoothly , we can only stand still, the best way is to wait!"

"However, if Chang'an Xiahouyuan sends troops to take Xiliang, it will be troublesome!" Xu Shuyou said: "The news from Chang'an said that Xiahouyuan recently took over a Xiliang rebel general who gave advice to Xiahouyuan. Take Xiliang!"

Meng Shuo and Long Fei looked at each other, and said with a slight smile: "Then let them take it! They went to Xiliang, and we just happened to go to Chang'an, this is really killing two birds with one stone."

Li Ru shook his head and smiled wryly, but did not speak.Long Fei hurriedly said: "Yuan Zhi doesn't need to worry about this matter. What I am worried about now is not that Xia Houyuan will seize Xiliang, but that he will not go. Is there any way to get Xia Houyuan to send troops?"

Li Rudao: "Maybe you can use the aggressive method?"

The next day, Hanzhong began to arrange intensively. The soldiers were transferred back from various places to Yangping Pass, and food, grass and military equipment were continuously transferred to Yangping Pass. The flag was replaced by the Dragon Army Battle Flag.Everyone was gearing up, as if they would not give up until Xiliang was captured.

Jiang Wei hurriedly found Xia Houyuan again.Xia Houyuan was discussing this matter with Zhang Ji, when Jiang Wei entered the door, he hurriedly said: "General, Long Fei has already started to act, if we don't make a move, Long Fei will take the lead!"

Xia Houyuan raised his head, looking embarrassed: "This matter is of great importance. I have already reported it to my elder brother and asked him to make a decision. Let's wait!"

"General!" Jiang Wei knelt down with a thud: "The war opportunity is fleeting. If the general does not make a judgment in time, when the news is sent from Yecheng, most of Xiliang may have been occupied by Long Fei. There is no chance for us to intervene!"

Zhang Ji said angrily: "Jiang Wei is so bold that he forced the general to make a decision for his own personal revenge. If something happens to Chang'an, who will take it?"

Jiang Wei let out a long sigh: "The great opportunity is so wasted. I dare say that within half a year, you and I will both be prisoners of Long Fei! Since the general is still hesitating, I, Jiang Wei, have fulfilled my responsibility. As a subordinate, I can say no." As far as I am concerned, it is up to the general to decide whether to listen or not! Farewell! Jiang Wei turned around helplessly and exited the door.
