Lu Su's three strategies, upper, middle and lower, were defeated.

Sun Quan thought for a long time and finally decided to merge the three strategies into one and use them together.

He first ordered Zhuge Jin to continue his mission to Jiangling to stabilize Guan Yu and prevent the Jingzhou army from encircling Lu Meng's troops in a short time.

After everything is done, rush to Chengdu to stabilize Liu Bei.

on the other hand.

Sun Quan also secretly sent an order to the east of the Yangtze River and secretly sent troops up the Shuo River, hoping to wait and see the changes before fighting for the Jingzhou counties again.

Not only that, he also secretly sent people to rush towards Chang'an, hoping to persuade Cao Cao to attack Jingzhou with all his strength and increase the intensity of the attack.

A series of strategies are implemented.

When Lu Su saw this, he could only sigh in his heart, feeling helpless!

He clearly knew that according to the current general trend of the world, joining forces with Liu and resisting Cao was the right way, but it was a pity that Sun Quan was no longer the high-spirited young man he was back then.

The young monarch who dared to go to the front line in person during his first campaign in Hefei.

It seems that now he has gradually begun to change.

From the beginning, he happily agreed to join forces with Liu to fight against Cao, but now he no longer agrees with it and insists on taking back Jingzhou.

With the stalemate in the war situation in Jingzhou.

The land of Guanzhong.

The capital is Chang'an.

In order to avoid being criticized verbally and writtenly by those who have good intentions.

After Guanzhong was pacified, Cao Cao ordered the Weiyang Palace to be closed and no one was allowed to enter.

At this moment, he just looked for a noble house in the city that had been vacant for a long time as a temporary stay.

At this moment, in the surrounding area on the outskirts of Chang'an City, only groups of Cao's soldiers were seen practicing in formation with their swords in hand.

The roars were like a tide, and the killing sounds shook the sky.

Except that most of them were elite soldiers who followed Xiahou Yuanping to conquer Liangzhou.

There are also many sergeants who were recruited from the new army in Guandong.

Hanzhong is connected to the Qinling Mountains, and the terrain is steep and difficult to capture.

What's more, now that Liu Bei has pacified Bashu in advance, perhaps the biggest enemy in this expedition will not be Zhang Lu.

To be on the safe side, Cao Cao's total force assembled in Chang'an this time eliminated Xiahou Yuan's standing 20,000 infantry and cavalry.

He also recruited 10,000 elites and 10,000 new troops from all over Kanto.

Now it is slowly being sorted out.

Only after the new army has achieved preliminary combat strength, it will officially launch an attack along the Qinling Mountains towards Hanzhong.

And at this moment.

Messengers from Xu Du and Wu envoys arrived one after another!

After understanding the cause and effect.

Cao Cao had just summoned the three advisers Liu Ye, Jia Xu, and the leader Bo Yangxiu who were accompanying the army this time.

Everyone arrived one by one and sat down in order of priority.

He slowly explained the changes in Jingzhou.

"Do you think our army should be involved in such changes?"

Cao Cao raised his head, looked at everyone and said.

As he finished speaking, he looked down at Liu Ye, who was sitting upright and well-dressed on both sides, as if he was thinking about it.

On the other side, the handsome young man Yang Xiu had a confident expression on his face, and he could no longer hold back his thoughts.

On the other hand, Jia Xu, who was on the other side, was still expressionless and sat calmly.

Observe everyone's reactions one by one.

Cao Cao pondered for a while and suddenly asked: "Dezu, it seems that you have a good idea. I wonder if you can give me some advice?"

One word fell.

After hearing this, Yang Xiu showed no humility at all. He raised his hands and said bluntly: "Prime Minister, in my opinion, this incident in Jingzhou will be of great benefit to our army."

"Oh, what are the benefits? Dezu, please tell us in detail."

As soon as he said this, Yang Xiu also said in a deep voice: "This advantage will suddenly resolve the crisis in our army's eastern Jianghuai defense line."

"Previously, Guanzhong was pacified. Although Prime Minister, you want to immediately send the main force to fight for the land of Hanchuan, you are also worried in your heart if the main force cannot capture Hanzhong for a long time."

"Once the situation becomes stalemate and Sun Wu takes advantage of the situation to gather troops to attack Hefei, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to our army."

"But now, Sun Quan is determined to capture Jingzhou and does not hesitate to borrow the power of the prime minister. Isn't this a good thing?"

Many kind words penetrated into Cao Cao's heart.

But it also seemed that he had seen too thoroughly and touched the bottom of his heart.

Cao Cao felt a fierce look in his heart.

On the surface, he still showed a deep smile, and asked with a smile: "Does Dezu's opinion allow the prime minister to take the opportunity to take the lead in the war in Jingxiang?"

"Congratulations, Prime Minister!"

After finishing his words, Yang Xiu praised him and said: "As long as the battle in Jingzhou cannot be decided in a short period of time, our army will be in an invincible position!"

"You can fight fiercely in Hanzhong with peace of mind, hoping to regain the land of Hanchuan in one fell swoop."

"I wonder what else is there to gain?"

After saying this, Cao Cao nodded solemnly in agreement and continued to ask.

"These two benefits are the relationship between Sun and Liu alliance."

"If the Sun and Liu families can fight over the dispute over Jingzhou, then even if the two families rebuild their alliance in the future, it will not be a worry!"

"Once the two families fight, the gap in the alliance will always exist.

"At that time, if the Sun and Liu families are at odds with each other, how can they withstand our army's offensive, which is like a torrential flood?"

"The Prime Minister will be able to command the generals and sweep the south of the Yangtze River, and he will be able to accomplish unparalleled achievements soon!"

The words he wrote down were revealed slowly.

Yang Xiu's last words also made Cao Cao feel extremely comfortable and happy.

For a while, Cao Cao had a smile on his face.

That's it.

After a long pause, Yang Xiu solemnly said: "The third advantage is that our army can take the opportunity to sit on the mountain in Jingzhou and watch the tigers fight, waiting for the two families to merge, and sit back and profit."

"Xiu suggested that the Prime Minister choose a general to be stationed in Jingxiang to fully deploy the war in Jingzhou."

"With these three benefits, Xiu seconded the resolution of making peace with Sun Wu."

His words were spoken with a serious expression.

Yang Xiu said it very solemnly.

Cao Cao thought for a long time and seemed to have made a decision in his heart, but he still looked at Jia Xu and Liu Ye on one side with a different look.

"I don't know Wenhe, but does Ziyang have any objections to what Dezu said?"

A word fell.

Jia Xu just nodded slightly, raised his hands and agreed: "Master Yang's words are reasonable. Xu thinks that the Prime Minister can act like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, he still returned to his state of silence.

Liu Ye, who was standing next to him, had a smile on his face and said in a deep voice: "Ye has no objection to what Lord Bo said. The Prime Minister can act accordingly!"

"And we can send a general to Nanyang as soon as possible to take charge."

"On the one hand, the governor of Jingxiang is fighting the war, and on the other hand, he can also take the opportunity to intimidate the hinterland of the Central Plains to prevent young people from taking advantage of the Prime Minister's expedition to stir up trouble."

What Liu Ye said was exactly what Cao Cao wanted.

He immediately sent someone to meet the Wu envoy.

The words fell.

Cao Cao's sharp eyes just glanced at Jia Xu, who was in the ancient well.

I feel quite helpless!

This person has been cautious in his words and deeds since entering Cao's camp. Unless he takes the initiative to ask for advice, he will remain silent.

But every time he offers advice, it always works wonders.
