Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 379

Besides, the princes of the world have different attitudes after receiving the imperial edict issued by Cao Cao.

First of all, after receiving the edict, Jingzhou Mu Liubiao called all the civil servants and generals under his command to discuss the matter.

"My lord, I think we should send troops to respond to Prime Minister Cao. Liu Wei once came to our Jingzhou to make troubles for no reason, and even kidnapped our two generals in Jingzhou and the Qiao family. This made me in Jingzhou ridiculed by the people of the world. Moreover, this is a call from the son of heaven, and you are the clan of the great Han, so I think you should send troops to join the army against Liu Wei."

Cai Mao, a general of the Jingzhou Navy, spoke to Liu Wei.

"Wenpin, Wang Wei, what do you two think about this matter?"

Liu Biao looked at his two most trusted generals.

"Everything is up to the Lord!"

Wenpin and Wang Wei answered together.

Such an answer seems to be loyal to Liu Biao, but it also reflects that Wenpin and Wang Wei are not good at being human. Now is not the time to ask you to show your loyalty. Know what to do, I still ask you!
After hearing the two men's words, Liu Biao didn't expect them to have any good solutions, so he asked the general civil servants and generals under him, "What do you all think?"

Yin Ji looked around and said to Liu Biao, "My lord, I don't think we should send troops?"

"Oh? Why is that?"

Liu Biao asked.

"My lord, most of my Jingzhou is a navy army, and there are almost no horse troops. Even if we send troops to attack Liu Wei, what good can we do? It's just as cannon fodder for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. In this way It will also waste our strength in vain. In my opinion, we should wait and see what happens, and wait for them to fight to the death. The Lord will send his troops to the north to welcome His Majesty back to Luoyang. At that time, the Lord will be the minister of Zhongxing of the big man, and he will surely be famous Eternal!"

"Kuai Yidu, Kuai Zirou! What do you two brothers think?"

Liu Biao looked at the two brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue again.

Just as Kuai Yue was about to speak, Kuai Liang said, "My lord, my second brother thinks we can send troops, but we can't send more troops. If we have [-] to [-] troops, we can send a general to lead them!"

As soon as Kuai Liang finished speaking, Liu Biao said, "What Kuai Zirou said is exactly what I want. According to Kuai Zirou's words, I will send 2 troops and order Wenpin to lead. Zhang Yun will be the deputy general to attack Liu. Wei!"

After talking about Liu Biao, let's talk about Sun Bofu, the little overlord of Jiangdong.

After Sun Ce received the imperial decree, it can be said that he was overjoyed, because he had long wanted to compete with Liu Wei. After all, no one in the world knows Liu Wei's name under the shadow of a famous tree. !
"Gongjin, look quickly, our chance to become famous in the world has come, look at this imperial decree, His Majesty calls on the princes of the world to attack Liu Wei, and then I will be as brave as my father when he conquered Dong Zhuo, and break Liaozhou first. Capture and kill Liu Wei, then I can replace Liu Wei and become famous all over the world!"

After reading the content of the imperial decree, Sun Ce Lima came to Zhou Yu and said to Zhou Yu.

"Bo Fu, don't be reckless. I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. Although Liu Wei is brave, the baby is also extremely cunning. This matter should be discussed in the long run!"

Zhou Yu was cautious by nature, and seeing that the matter was not easy, he began to persuade Sun Ce.

"What else is there to discuss? Liu Wei has long been famous in the world. If Liu Wei is defeated, then I will be number one in the world?"

Sun Ce said excitedly.

"Bo Fu, Liaozhou is far away from us. If we act rashly, we may never return. We are all in Liaozhou!"

Zhou Yu continued to persuade.

"Then Gongjin, what do you think we should do? Is it possible that we won't go?"

Sun Ce asked a little unwillingly.

"Bo Fu, this is not the case. We can wait and see what happens to Liu Biao on the other side of the Yangtze River. If they send troops, we will follow suit. But we can't go by land, we have to go by sea, and we will go by sea. Although it is a bit difficult, there is no danger if you do not meet sea wolves, and if you are intercepted by land, the entire army may be wiped out!"

Zhou Yu said.

"Okay, according to Bo Fu's words, let's wait and see what happens to Liu Biao. If Liu Biao sends troops, I will definitely not continue to hide in Jiangdong, and I will send troops too!"

"Ok!"

Just after the two finished speaking, a scout came in and said to the two: "My lord, the governor, there is a soldier in Jingzhou with more than 2 people, led by Wenpin, the general of Jingzhou. , heading north!"

As soon as the inspector finished speaking, Sun Ce smiled, and then said, "Okay, I will lead the troops northward, and attack Liu Wei according to the imperial decree!"

"Bo Fu, don't be reckless, even if we want to go north, we must first arrange the territory before we go!"

Zhou Yu said.

As soon as the two discussed, they decided to lead [-] troops and horses to go north by boat, leaving Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan to guard the city, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong assisted Sun Quan in defending the territory, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zhou Tai and others stayed behind to assist Sun Quan defended the city.

Ling Cao, Ling Tong and his son, Chen Wu, and Jiang Qin followed Sun Ce to the north.

At the same time, Liu Yan of Yizhou also received the imperial edict, but Liu Yan dismissed the imperial edict.He threw it aside, and then said: "Come here, send a memorial to Liu Xie and Cao Cao, saying that Liu Yan, the shepherd of Yizhou, is seriously ill and cannot share his majesty's worries. I hope your majesty will forgive me, but although the old minister can't send troops Begging for thieves, but you can help the army go to beg for thieves! Then send someone to send [-] stones of food and grass to Cao Cao, and then seal the pass. Be careful not to defend it!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Yan got up and walked into the house. For him, even if the sky is overturned outside, as long as it doesn't affect his Jizhou, it doesn't matter what happens outside, it's none of Liu Yan's business!
In a few days, Ma Teng, who was far away in Xiliang, also received the imperial edict. Ma Teng summoned all the generals under his command and discussed: "The bitter cold place in Xiliang is rich in cavalry. I am afraid that only Liaozhou's cavalry can compete with it." We fought against each other, but Liu Wei really showed his sharpness. Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, and my Ma family is the successor of the great Han General Fubo. Although the son is a puppet today, we have to obey the imperial edict, so, I decided to send troops to attack Liu Wei!"

Ma Teng immediately dispatched [-] troops and marched eastward with Ma Chao.
