Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 604 Cao and Liu Jointly Attack Jiangdong

"My lord, Cao Mengde has sent a letter!"

Sun Qian handed the letter in his hand to Liu Bei.

"Oh? Cao Mengde actually wrote me a letter, this is really strange!"

Liu Bei took the letter, peeled off the wax, and after reading the letter, he handed the letter to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang looked at it, and said: "Hehe, it seems that this Sun Bofu has annoyed Cao Mengde, and he can make Cao Cao, an arrogant guy, drop his identity and join us in alliance!"

"What does the military division think?"

Liu Bei asked.

"With such a good thing, we naturally agreed to Cao Mengde, and we will gain the most from attacking Sun Bofu!"

Zhuge Liang answered.

"Huh? Why?"

Liu Bei asked in confusion.

"My lord, don't forget Liu Wei from Hebei. He and Sun Bofu are in an alliance. How could he watch Sun Bofu being beaten? If Cao Cao dared to touch Sun Bofu, Liu Ziyan would lick Cao Cao's ass! Let him Enemy from belly to back!"

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, and answered.

Liu Bei, on the other hand, had a different opinion, and said: "The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit. When Liu Ziyan attacked Jizhou a few days ago, Cao Mengde once helped Yuan Benchu, and Liu Ziyan used thousands of horses. Only then was Sun Ce able to send troops to contain Cao Cao, and Liu Wei has everything, not to mention Hebei Xinding, how could Liu Ziyan be able to mobilize troops lightly!"

"Hahahaha, my lord, you underestimate Liu Ziyan. Liu Ziyan once ran thousands of miles to attack Mobei, just to attack the aliens in the grassland. Even when people were exhausted, Liu Wei would not rest. He took down Mobei and wiped out the grassland in one go. There are hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu on the mountain, before I left the mountain, I did a deep study on Liu Wei, this person is best at attacking the enemy by surprise, and taking the enemy by surprise. How can my lord look at Liu Wei with the eyes of ordinary people!"

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Liu Bei still didn't believe it.Because he did not believe that Liu Wei could still mobilize troops under such circumstances.

Zhuge Liang was not angry, but said: "My lord, why are we discussing whether Liu Wei can use soldiers and horses? What we should discuss now is whether to send troops to attack Jiangdong, and how many troops to send!"

Liu Bei hurriedly replied: "Of course we must send troops, and there must be more troops. At least 10 troops must be sent. If we can win some territory in Yangzhou, that would be great!"

"Well, my lord is right, but we can't send troops for free, we have to let Cao Mengde bleed and get some benefits!"

Zhuge Liang said with a sly smile: "I heard that when Liu Xie was alive, Cao Mengde bought a batch of artillery from Liu Ziyan. Although it was Liu Wei who encouraged Cao Cao, but I heard Liu Pi said that the artillery is amazing. Once it goes down, it will kill you." The wooden warships can be blasted through each other. Presumably the artillery in Cao Cao's hands is not too weak. If we can get ten guns and install them on the building boats, Jiangdong's warships can't stop us. !"

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he answered, "That's right, if we have a few cannons, our army will have the upper hand when confronting Soochow's warships!"

Immediately, Liu Bei wrote to Cao Cao, asking him for artillery.

After Cao Cao hesitated again and again, he agreed to Liu Bei, sent people to escort ten cannons, transported the cannons to Jingzhou, and handed them over to Liu Bei.

Since then, Cao Cao sent 20 troops to the south from Xuzhou, and Liu Bei sent 15 navy troops to set up a battle in Jiangxia, ready to fight the Jiangdong army.

Jiangdong was in chaos for a while.

"His Royal Highness King Wu! It is better to send someone to inform His Royal Highness King Hebei, and let him send troops to attack Cao Cao to relieve the urgent need!"

Jiangdong Changshi Zhang Zhao spoke to Sun Ce.

"This! I'm afraid Liu Wei won't agree! After all, Jizhou is newly established. Liu Wei's soldiers and horses have fought for more than a year and nearly two years. They are already exhausted and exhausted. I'm afraid the king of Liao will also be powerless. !"

Lu Su said.

Sun Ce, who was sitting on the throne, had a gloomy face and said nothing.

The civil and military officials in the audience have already exploded. Civil servants have asked to write letters to Liu Wei, asking Liu Wei to send troops to attack Cao Cao in order to contain Cao Cao. There are no children who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

"enough!"

Sun Ce on the throne stood up abruptly, and said, "I will naturally write to Liu Wei, but I can't have too much hope for Liu Wei's report. If you want to repel the enemy, the main thing is to Depend on us!"

"My lord's words are absolutely true!"

All the civil and military people in the audience were stunned by Sun Ce's roar. Immediately, Sun Ce ordered Sun Quan to stay in Wujun and lead the navy to resist Liu Bei. Zhou Yu led the army to resist Cao Cao.

The total number of soldiers and horses that Jiangdong can use is 30. There are 5 people who have to resist the sneak attack of the Shanyue people. 25 went to the enemy Cao Cao.

Although Liu Bei's building boat was not as big as Sun Ce's, it was equipped with cannons. Sun Ce and Liu Bei had a battle on the river, but they were defeated. They lost more than [-] soldiers and horses, and Liu Bei sank countless boats. The big ship he was on was also shot by a cannonball. If it weren't for the distance and the speed of the ship, the warship Sun Ce was on would have been sunk by Liu Bei.

Zhou Yu's side is also not optimistic. Zhou Yu is good at water battles, not so good at land battles. He fought Cao Cao more than ten times, with fewer victories and more losses. He retreated from Qu'a to Dantu.

"My lord, if they continue to lose like this, they will probably reach Wu County within a month!"

Veteran Cheng Pu said to Sun Ce.

"If Liu Bei's warship hadn't been equipped with artillery, how could his warship in Jingzhou be our opponent!"

Sun Ce slammed his fist on the table.

"Yes, my lord, why does Liu Bei have cannons? Could it be that Liu Wei secretly sold the cannons to Liu Bei to deal with us!"

Huang Gai opened his mouth to guess.

"Probably not!"

Veteran Han Dang couldn't believe it, and said, "The King of Hebei is our ally, he has no reason to do this!"

Huang Gai said darkly: "Don't forget, he and Liu Bei belong to the clan of the Han family, so it is impossible for him, Liu Wei, to help the same clan!"

Sun Ce said to the guard at the door with an unkind expression, "Come on, get Jia Hua for me, I want to ask him about this!"

After a while, Jia Hua was recruited into the big account.

After Jia Hua entered the big tent, Sun Ce asked, "Jia Liangzhen, are the cannons you saw on the Hebei Navy warship the same as those on Liu Bei's ship?"

Jia Hua thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem to be the same. The Hebei Army's artillery is longer, bigger, and farther away. Liu Bei's one seems to be a smaller version!"

Lu Su, who was under Sun Ce's tent, suddenly said, "I heard that Liu Wei sold a batch of artillery to Cao Cao, but it was Liu Wei who fooled Cao Cao, and the model was twice as small as the one used by Liu Wei himself. Thief Cao gave it to Liu Bei!"
