"Liu Da'er, how shameless!" When they heard that Guan Yu was coming to Cao Cao's territory, Zhao Kuangyin and Cao Cao's forces were furious!
For Zhao Kuangyin's forces, how can they be happy with such an extra piece of cake?
According to Zhao Kuangyin's original idea, the worst outcome would be that he would monopolize Cao Cao's cake, while Liu Bei and Dou Jiande would work together to share Chi You's cake. The better outcome would be that after Zhao Kuangyin took Cao Cao's piece of cake, he would also
You can go grab Chi You's cake.
But now the situation is reversed. They haven't captured Cao Cao yet, but Liu Bei wants to share Cao Cao's cake first.
"This Liu Da'er is not afraid of overstuffing himself!" Zhao Kuangyin angrily greeted the 18 generations of Liu Bei's ancestors one after another.
After hearing this, several generals under his command coughed slightly. After all, they were also young men who respected Liu Bei in name. However, Zhao Kuangyin seemed not to have heard and continued to scold him as he should.
At this time, those ministers had completely ignored it. Anyway, the people present were their own people, so it would not be spread out. Besides, even if this kind of thing was spread, the worst they could do was to refuse to admit it.
As for Cao Cao's forces, they have even more headaches at this time, except of course, Cao Cao. Under this continuous bad news, Cao Cao's headaches have been forced to alleviate a lot.
They tried their best to block Zhao Kuangyin, but they still had to retreat steadily. If Guan Yu was added to the mix, they wouldn't be able to carry it even if they wanted to!
Moreover, even if Cao Cao wants to mobilize a suitable general to resist Guan Yu at this time, it is difficult to find him!
Guan Yu is also a famous general in Qingzhou, and not just anyone can deal with him! There are only a limited number of people under Cao Cao who are qualified to compete with Guan Yu. And these people are now being used to resist Zhao Kuangyin.
On the front line, it is difficult to mobilize anyone.
Moreover, the people under Liu Bei's influence scolded Cao Cao to pieces during this period, and brought out Cao Cao's bad things over and over again.
What about grabbing the wives of his subordinates, or digging the graves of his ancestors? In short, Cao Cao's personal morality was already a problem, and now it is even more of a stinker. Especially, many of the graves that Cao Cao dug were...
The tombs of the Han clan clan members even scolded Cao Cao to the point where he was completely covered with blood.
Unlike Zhao Kuangyin and Cao Cao's forces, Li Xiang's forces were relatively happy after hearing the news.
In today's world, the most important thing for Li Xiang's forces is a balance, a balance between the various princes. The strength of any one party can exceed that of the other party, but it cannot exceed the other party by too much and cannot be in the world.
annex the other party in a short period of time.
As long as one side's power cannot surpass the other's in a short period of time, then there will not be a giant power among the princes in the world in a short period of time.
At this time, Liu Bei went to grab the cake prepared by Zhao Kuangyin. In this way, on the one hand, Liu Bei's power would expand more than expected. And if Liu Bei's power expanded more, Zhao Kuangyin's power would be less expanded.
Secondly, after this set of operations, friction between the forces of Liu Bei and Zhao Kuangyin also started.
In short, when the demise of Cao Cao and Chi You has been decided, Guan Yu turns to attack Cao Cao at this time, which is not a bad thing for the Jin army. At least, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
At this time, Yuan Shao's forces to the north of Cao Cao were in a quarrel again!
The counselors under him were divided into three factions at this time!
One of the factions believes that they should decisively go north at this time and attack Qin Zheng vigorously while Qin Zheng is in trouble. This is their biggest enemy now. If they do not take advantage of this moment to attack Qin Zheng hard, they will wait until the other party recovers.
Come, it's the other party's turn to beat them.
After all, Qin Zheng sent envoys to Liu Bei and Dou Jiande, and Yuan Shao confirmed this matter after many investigations.
The second faction thinks that they should grab Cao Cao's piece of cake now. This piece of cake is obviously given to him for free. With Yuan Shao's losses in the last battle just now, he can easily get such a piece of cake.
I'll bring you some cake to replenish your health.
As for the last faction, they believe that they should recuperate and recuperate at this time. In the last war, among the northern princes, Yuan Shao suffered the biggest loss. At this time, Yuan Shao's power was also extremely weak. In principle, there was no need to continue the war and recuperate.
Restoring strength is the most important thing.
We cannot say who is right or wrong among these three factions. After all, everyone has their own basis.
The people who put forward these three views are all counselors who can leave their names in the history books. They must have thought carefully and they are all the directions they think are right.
But it is precisely because of this that Yuan Shao has the biggest headache. As a patient with a high degree of difficulty in choosing, even if you present two choices, it has already given Yuan Shao a big headache. This time, you have directly presented three choices.
A choice, doesn't this push Yuan Shao to a dead end?
Generally speaking, when Yuan Shao encounters this situation, even if he won't lie down completely, he will at least lie down for a period of time. Let his hands go out and argue first, and let them come up with a result first.
!
At the same time, when the various princes in the Han Dynasty were making troubles, the war between the newly established Jin Dynasty and Yuan Meng in the northern frontier was about to begin!
Wang Baobao of Bingzhou, Meng Gong of Hezhou, and Dou Xian of Liangzhou each sent 20,000 cavalry to Yuanmeng in three groups.
The governors of the three states were not dispatched in this battle. As soon as they came, this time, the generals of the various states of the Jin army came directly to make a big change of defense. Not to mention the governors of the states, they were all new arrivals. There were many generals under them, and
They are all new here, and the governors of each state are busy sorting out each state and understanding the situation in each state.
Secondly, each state only dispatched 20,000 troops and fought only local battles, not a full-scale war.
If even such a local battle requires the presence of the governor of each state in person. Then, if one day in the future, an all-out war begins with Yuan and Meng, who's turn will it be?
Besides, at this time, the strongest generals among the Yuan and Meng forces were not here either, and were busy entangled with Su Dingfang! Murong Ke, Murong Chui, Mu Huali, and Mao Dun, these people are all in the west now,
The local generals of Yuan and Meng were all from the next batch. Wang Baobao, Meng Gong, and Dou Xian were enough.
