First of all, this news is a slap in the face to everyone in the entire hall, as if one person slaps them all at the same time. Underworld novel
They had just made a drinking oath to respect the Wei family, all because they all believed that Cao Cao could defeat Liu Feng. Needless to say, Zhong Yao, Sima Yi, and Cao Hong were die-hard loyalists to the Cao family, and they believed in this.
Although the Eight Route Princes are rough and fierce warriors, they have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and each of them has a brush in fighting. Although they do not understand the general trend, they are still very good at analyzing the strength of both the enemy and ours.
The Han Dynasty and the Wei Dynasty faced each other. First of all, there was the Han Dynasty. The troops under his jurisdiction were only the five-pronged army, Xu Shu, Dong Gai, Wenpin, Gan Ning, and Dong Cheng, the five-pronged elite army and 30,000 horse infantry.[
The remaining 30,000 to 40,000 field soldiers and the 12,000 newly recruited cavalry can be regarded as 10,000 elite soldiers. Simply speaking, they are equal to 40,000 elite soldiers.
However, Cao Cao had 200,000 horse and infantry troops. According to this basic situation, the Han Dynasty could only rely on Xudu's tall city walls to defend for a year and a half.
They never thought that Cao Cao would fail. Although Ma Chao and Yan Xing were deeply afraid of the Wei State founded by Cao Cao, their most basic analysis was the same as that of the Eight Route Princes.
Anyway, no one here doubts Cao Cao's power, so today's drinking oath was made. We will jointly respect Cao Cao, the leader of Wei, and create the world of Wei.
It was a time of high spirits, but at this moment, someone suddenly brought news that Cao Cao had been defeated and the Han Dynasty had won a great victory.
What does this mean? This is a loud slap in the face. There is no other explanation. In the eyes of everyone, the Han Dynasty, who was already old and dying, miraculously came back to life.
What is this if not a slap in the face?
This slap was not only loud, but also painful for everyone. It even contained a kind of ridicule, as if they saw Liu Feng standing in front of them with a sneer on his face. How could a group of rebellious officials and traitors dare to say that the Han Dynasty must be destroyed?
Defeat. Thinking about it, the faces of many princes turned red and felt extremely ashamed.
What did they do just now? What did they do? The world of Wei Dynasty is ridiculous. The other eight princes have no other ideas.
But after Ma Chao and Yan Xing were ashamed, they suddenly felt extremely emotional. The Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty actually turned defeat into victory. If the Han Dynasty regained control of the world, how could they live a good life?
Moreover, Liu Feng's intention to return the capital to Luoyang had already been revealed when he captured Xudu. Moving the capital from Xudu back to Luoyang would mean fighting for power and moving westward. Not only the emperor, the prince, the concubines, but also all the civil and military officials
To move westward with him, the army will also move westward.
Originally, the Han Dynasty was separated from Yongzhou and Liangzhou by Sili, which served as a buffer. Now the Han Dynasty is equivalent to occupying Sili, and the two are bordering each other. In other words, it is a direct threat.
The two couldn't help but Momo calculated the soft power that Liu Feng now possessed. Whether it was population, economy, or the prosperity of the territory under his rule, it was the best in the world.
Although his military strength was weak, he must have some tools to defeat Cao Cao. This calculation immediately surprised Ma Chao and Yan Xing.
At first glance, Liu Feng's threat was greater than that of Cao Cao, and it was also an imminent threat. The two of them suddenly became pale.
