Chapter 842 The Liangzhou Army finally breaks through Jiangling (9)
But if you think about it carefully, this matter will not become a reality for the time being. Not to mention that there is Liu Bei's Han army in the middle, even if Liu Bei was destroyed by the Liangzhou army, in the short time, the Liangzhou army and the Yanzhou army may not really fight with the Jiangdong army. This big fight refers to the kind of person who can never stop and must destroy the other party. As for the small fight, I have never stopped, so there is no need to say more about this. Because no matter whether it is the Liangzhou army or the Yanzhou army, there is no one who is not worried. If they are not worried, if they are not worried,
If they really fight against the Jiangdong Army, they will definitely be taken advantage of by the other party in the end, but no one is willing to be the one who stands out. Therefore, the Jiangdong Army is safe for the time being, and they are in an alliance with the Yanzhou Army because they have a common enemy and are also a strong enemy. As for the Liangzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army to cooperate with the Jiangdong Army, there may be such a thing, and there will be dreams.
So what I really understand is actually obvious that the current trend is still the Yanzhou Army, the Jiangdong Army and Liu Bei’s Han Army. The three parties united to fight against Ma Chao Liangzhou Army. But even so, Ma Chao Liangzhou Army did not suffer much loss for the time being. As for the loss of territory, this is obviously very normal. If the Liangzhou Army can still maintain its territory under the unity of the three parties,
----------------------≮☆-------------------------------
So what are they going to be strong? But obviously, the current situation is normal. So many people understand that the general trend of the world is the Liangzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army. The Liangzhou Army has said that if these three parties jointly deal with their side, if they are incompetent, can they do this? As for the Yanzhou Army, Cao Mengde "has used the emperor to command the princes" and is also the largest force in the world. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, there is naturally a great opportunity to reach the top. The last Jiangdong Army,
It should be said that they didn't have any chance at all, but they really felt that they had a chance, and they were a few people. They all knew that only in specific circumstances would the Jiangdong Army have a chance. After all, there were two strong enemies in front of them, which was better than the Jiangdong Army, and it was almost impossible to destroy one of them. So these two... It seems that the Jiangdong Army is fine now, but in fact, they are living in the cracks. After all, with Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, there is still no way to fight against the other eleven states of the Han Dynasty.
Yes, if the Liangzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army really united together, then the Jiangdong Army would be destroyed, no matter what the problem was. So the current trend of the world would be the Liangzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army. Therefore, after learning that his lord captured Jiangling
-----------------------------------------------------
The Liangzhou Army was naturally happy. Because Jiangling City is now broken, it can be said that Liu Bei has already been destruction step by step. He has not even defended Jiangling, so other places can basically not be defended. Although there is Zhuge Kongming in Nanyang and those ten characters, there is not much information about him. You know that the Yanzhou Army has suffered losses in his place, and the Liangzhou Army has not been too good at it. That person is indeed a talent, but is the talent capable of turning the tide?
Some major trends cannot be reversed by one person's power. After all, human power is limited after all, let alone a person. In order to repay Liu Xuande's kindness, Zhuge Liang could "devote his wholeheartedness and die until he dies." But can he turn the whole situation around with his own strength? Of course, few people believe that there will be a miracle that will happen to Liu Bei. Compared to the Liangzhou army members who received the information from Jiangling, they were in a good mood and are still resting in Hangu Pass.
Cao Cao was not in a particularly good mood. After all, Liu Bei didn't even defend Jiangling, which made the current situation tilt towards Ma Chao again. After all, Liu Bei lost Jiangling, basically, even if there was no hope. If Liangzhou army got Jiangling, it would naturally be like a tiger on the battlefield in Jingzhou, and it was unstoppable. It would be difficult and even more difficult to defeat them again. Cao Cao
-----------------------------------------------------
I almost got sick again. Fortunately, because Hangu Pass made some progress, he didn't make his head hurt, otherwise he would have had to get sick. After all, Cao Cao had an old problem, and as long as he encountered something that made him a headache, he would basically not be able to escape. If Hangu Pass had not been captured by the Yanzhou army, Cao Cao would have really gotten angry at this time. But speaking of it, he was definitely not worried about Liu Bei, and he was worried about letting the Liangzhou army grow bigger. This is what Cao Cao didn't want to see. It was still the same thing, if it was really unnecessary, Liu Bei
Even if he was destroyed, Cao Cao would not feel anything. After all, Liu Bei's relationship with him was indeed like this. Of course, he also knew that Liu Bei was a talented person, a talent with great ambitions, and a person who could compete with him. If it weren't for Ma Chao's front, Cao Cao would definitely regard Liu Bei as his number one enemy, but because of Ma Chao's relationship, Liu Bei naturally could not be worthy of it. For Cao Cao, Liu Bei was a good opponent, but he was really right
With Ma Chao, he is the only one. This is definitely not that Cao Cao looked down on Liu Bei and Sun Ce, but that's the fact that this is the case. If Ma Chao were not there, they were indeed good opponents, but because of Ma Chao, the three parties could become allies.
-----------------------------------------------------
To be honest, Cao Cao did not want this, but due to the interests, the three parties had to make such a choice. So Cao Cao's only opponent in his eyes was Maqiu, otherwise why would the three parties have to unite to deal with him? Cao Cao asked his soldiers to find Xun You and Cheng Yu, and then told the two of them about the horse's exploration information. After hearing this, they also frowned slightly. Speaking of this, they originally thought that it should be good to occupy Hangu Pass and it is worth celebrating. As a result, Jiangling was actually lost to Liu Bei's side.
Jun died and Jiangling fell. No matter how you look at it, Liu Bei's strength was greatly reduced. If Xun You and Cheng Yu had seen from Liu Bei some hope of winning against Ma Chao and Liangzhou Army. The result was no longer there. There was no hope. Liu Xuande was not destroyed by others, even if it was good. These two great strategists were also helpless. There was no way. Logically, Liu Bei's subordinates were okay, and there were not a lack of talents, and there were still many.
Sadly, he met Ma Chao, and if it were Sun Ce, it would probably not be like this. After all, there is a gap between the Jiangdong Army and the Liangzhou Army. Although Sun Ce has a lot of talents, it is still a little different when compared with the Liangzhou Army.
-----------------------------------------------------
In other words, only those who can compare with the Liangzhou army, these two major strategists knew. At this time, Cao Cao, Xun You and Cheng Yu, the three of them had already walked to the front of the hanging large map. This map is a strategic map of the extremely important counties and counties around Jingzhou. At this time, Cheng Yu said: "Lord, from the perspective of subordinates, Jiangling is lost, and Liu Xuande should not be in charge of the affairs of Nanjun anymore. If the person keeps heading north, his subordinates think that he will be here and block the Liangzhou army!" As he said that, Cheng Yu put his hands on the map, Cao Cao and Xun
When You saw that the two of them had different expressions. Cao Cao had a flash of light in front of him, while Xun You was stroking his beard with his hands and looking at the map with a smile.
Cao Cao said at this time: "It seems that Zhongde is the same as I thought. Liu Xuande's last chance is in Fancheng! Zhuge Kongming is not here!" The place Cheng Yu refers to is Fancheng, a military important military town in the southeast of Nanjun. After passing Fancheng, he went directly to Xiangyang, and Xiangyang is the place of Nanjun. Therefore, Fancheng is naturally an important place that connects Nanyang County and Nanjun, and it is also the place where Zhuge Liang stations his troops now. Judging from his own information, the number of troops stationed in Fancheng is more than 30,000, which is more specific.
So Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, and Xun You, in fact, they all agreed that Fancheng was Liu Bei's last hope.
If he said that Liu Bei could not defend himself, he would have no hope. Yes, he had other county towns, but even Fancheng in Jiangling could not stop the Liangzhou army.
-----------------------------------------------------
Then other places, let alone other small cities. So if Fancheng is occupied by the Liangzhou army, then Liu Bei can save his life, it would be good. Nanyang was the place where the three-party game began. It is a very important place for Ma Chao and Cao Cao. Without saying anything else, just talking about Nanyang and Chang'an and Xu Du, it is enough to allow Ma Chao and Cao Cao to station heavy troops here.
Not to mention Liu Bei, if he wants to fight against Cao Cao and Ma Chao in the north, Nanyang is the place he must take charge. Especially when Ma Chao and Cao Cao have already released heavy troops on the ground, it is even more impossible for him to ignore it. Moreover, the three sides had a great war before Nanyang, and now it has been calm. But in fact, it is a superficial phenomenon. The reason why the three sides have calmed down temporarily is because they are all attracted by the war in Jingzhou. Cao Cao and Liu Bei are temporarily allies, so they naturally will not start any war in Nanyang first.
As for the two sides to deal with the Liangzhou army, neither Li Tong nor Zhuge Liang had the intention. In their opinion, it is more important than anything else to manage their own "one acre and three-point land". Moreover, Zhuge Liang was obviously a very cautious person. Although Liu Bei also gave him great power, he was fully responsible for all matters in Nanyang, and there was no need to ask him for advice, but Zhuge Liang said
-----------------------------------------------------
I am satisfied with this, but he will not easily move troops and basically will not attack actively. At most, passive defense is just that. After all, Zhuge Liang's personality is absolutely so cautious all his life. Moreover, Liu Bei's territory is getting smaller and smaller, and basically no more people, and his troops cannot be compared with Cao Masun, so Zhuge Liang naturally would not do what he thought was risky. So after Nanyang fought with the Liangzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army, it was peaceful, and it was still occupied by the Liangzhou Army.
According to the northwest, on the front line of Rang County, Wancheng, the Yanzhou army occupied the northeast, Li Tong was stationed on the front line of Jiyang, and Liu Bei and Han army occupied the south, which was far away from them. Zhuge Liang was stationed in Fancheng. In general, it was like this, and the three sides were in peace.
At this time, Cao Cao looked at the map and nodded in agreement with Cheng Yu's words. His eyes lit up before, because of Fancheng, Cao Cao had always thought about taking it down, and Li Tong had always known what his lord meant. Speaking of which, whether it was Cao Cao, Ma Chao or Liu Bei, it can be said that all three of them gave power to those stationed in Nanyang, so whether it was Li Tong, Pang De or Zhuge Liang, they all had enough power. They didn't need to report anything in Nanyang, and there was no problem at all.
-----------------------------------------------------
Moreover, those stationed in Nanyang are not only people they trust, but also very capable, otherwise who can rest assured?
As for Cao Cao, he really wanted to seize Fancheng. In this way, Xiangyang and Fancheng could echo each other, and there was no problem going north and south. It was just a pity that there was no good opportunity before, and there was even less chance since Zhuge Liang arrived in Fancheng. Later, their Yanzhou army and Liu Bei became allies again, so it would be fine for the time being. But even so, Cao Cao did not forget his original intention. He even thought that he would take down Wancheng and Rangxian, so the entire Nanyang would be his.
There are only a few most important counties in the world. Obviously, Nanyang is one, and it is also a place where the three-party game is played. No one does not care about it. But now it can only be like this. For Ma Chao and Cao Cao, they are not very satisfied. Ma Chao believes that Pang De cannot deal with Li Tong, which is really not worth it. Speaking of which, Li Tong may not be much stronger than him, but he is better at defending the city, so it is not a rare thing to not take advantage of him. (To be continued.)
