Chapter 1835 Qin and Zhao both sent envoys to Qingzhou
In the Central Plains, even if Huo Qubing could harvest and reduce soldiers, he would not be able to do such a thing. After all, people in the Central Plains are not like those in the grasslands who can mount their horses and fight at any time.
Recruiting and surrendering pawns is a drag on Huo Qubing, affecting his most powerful weapon, his mobility. If the mobility of his cavalry is lost, even Huo Qubing cannot be represented by Zhao She.
Yes, the opponents of the famous generals from the Central Plains, the cards in the hands of both sides are not of the same level.
Although Zhao She had no obvious way to deal with Huo Qubing, with this little bit of wear and tear, the bigger and brighter Huo Qubing's troops became, the easier it would be to deal with him in the future.
But just when Zhao She was finally confidently preparing to launch the final blow against Huo Qubing, Huo Qubing had already reached the Yellow River and was under the protection of the Yellow River Navy.
Therefore, although the Central Plains princes took the initiative to withdraw their troops in the end and suffered relatively small losses in military strength, Cao Cao and Chi You were actually the two princes who suffered the most tragic losses.
After this battle, the gap between the three princes of the Central Plains was completely widened.
Among the three princes of the Central Plains, Zhao Kuangyin was the strongest, and he gained a lot of benefits from the Japanese country. Among the three princes of the Central Plains, Zhao Kuangyin was the most powerful, and only Zhao Kuangyin could possess it.
The ability to continue to purchase war horses from the north is ultimately the confidence gained from the Japanese country.
Zhao Kuangyin was originally the strongest prince in the three states of the Central Plains, but now that Cao Cao and Chi You have suffered major losses, it is the best time for Zhao Kuangyin to unify the three states of the Central Plains.
And how could Zhao Kuangyin miss such a great opportunity?
Of course, Zhao Kuangyin did not directly send troops like Zhu Yuanzhang. Although the foundations of Cao Cao and Chi You were damaged, they were not comparable to Liu Xiu's power. Zhao Kuangyin had just experienced a war and did not have enough confidence to fight against an enemy.
Second, at least you have to wait until he can take a breath.
The general trend of the world is that one step is slow, and each step is slow. If you take one step slower, how sure are you of catching up? While you are catching up, are others just standing still waiting for you to catch up? Among the princes who can persist until now, there are
Which one is mediocre?
There was a huge gap between Zhao Kuangyin and the Jin army. Once the news came that Li Xiang had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, how could he not be anxious?
But no matter how urgent it is, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang are facing different situations, and he cannot directly send troops like Zhu Yuanzhang!
It was under this situation that Yi Yin and Zhao Pu jointly proposed a plan to lure Dou into Liu's presence.
Yi Yin and Zhao Pu are extremely unified on one point. If they want to fight, among the two targets, Cao Cao and Chi You, Cao Cao should be the first and Chi You second.
In fact, the loss of Chi You's foundation was more serious than that of Cao Cao, but because of this, Chi You was less likely to recover.
Moreover, Chi You had obtained the food and grass from the north after all, and was still able to fight. In comparison, it was much easier to deal with Cao Cao.
To lure Dou and Liu into the field, Dou and Liu only had one target to choose from, Chi You. With Dou and Liu facing off against Chi You, Zhao Kuangyin could capture Cao Cao as quickly as possible and then encroach on Chi You's territory.
As for Dou and Liu, they may indeed get a big piece of the cake in this process, but so what? The Dou and Liu families are weak after all. After Zhao Kuangyin unified the three states of the Central Plains, they were their next target.
When the time comes, let Dou and Liu spit out everything they have eaten!
After unifying the three states of the Central Plains, the only soft persimmons around Zhao Kuangyin were Dou and Liu.
Dou and Liu have had constant small conflicts for so many years, but they have not come to war with each other. Why? Isn't the reason why they are too weak and can only hug each other for warmth?
The two of them hugged each other for warmth, which gave them the strength that other princes were afraid of. If the two of them went to war with each other, how could Yuan Shao and Chi You, who were nearby, let them go?
As for whether Dou and Liu will agree, then they don't have to worry!
Dou and Liu, except for Liu Xiu who was just destroyed, are the two weakest princes in the world. In troubled times, if you don't advance, you will perish. Chi You finally became weak. If Dou and Liu don't catch this wave
If they have the opportunity to develop and grow, what awaits them will only be self-destruction.
Perhaps Dou and Liu could not see that they would face greater challenges after conquering Chi You, but the situation would never be worse than the current situation. Only with greater strength can there be more ways to turn things around.
Chance.
Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin personally sent counselor Wen Zhong to Liu and Dou as envoys, hoping to get the three families to establish an alliance and jointly divide the two big cakes of Chiyou and Cao Cao.
Wen Zhong was a member of the clan of Wen Zhong, the former general of the Jingzhou Army. In the Battle of Jingbei, Wen Zhong, Wen Pin, Wen Pin and other members of the Wen clan all died generously in the battle. Wen Zhong and the Jin Army were
There has long been a deep hatred.
Wen Zhong originally wanted to see a few more princes before deciding on his choice.
However, in these troubled times, how far can a weak scholar like him go?
He had just entered Xuzhou from Jingzhou, and his traces had already been traced by the people from Floating Water Fang. If Zhao Kuangyin's Imperial City Division hadn't taken action, Wen Zhong would have already gone to meet his relatives at this time.
Got it!
Based on the principle that the enemy of his enemy is his friend, Zhao Kuangyin asked the Imperial City Secretary to take action and save Wen Zhong's life from the hands of Floating Water Fang.
But Zhao Kuangyin didn't expect that he would get an unexpected surprise. This kind of literary genre actually had talents of great talent, but in less than a year, he had already emerged from Zhao Kuangyin's civil and military lineup!
Moreover, he quickly overtook others, surpassed his seniors, and became one of the most important counselors under Zhao Kuangyin.
And it was precisely because Zhao Kuangyin attached great importance to this incident that he sent one of his most important counselors out.
And Wen Zhong is also full of confidence in this matter. No matter from any aspect, he has no reason to fail.
Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin is not weak among the princes in the world, but he is not the strongest either. Compared with the Jin army, he is far behind. Only by helping Zhao Kuangyin develop and grow, can Wen Zhong rely on Zhao Kuangyin's strength to benefit his own tribes
Revenge, folks.
However, what Wenzhong didn't expect was that when he finally arrived in Qingzhou after running all the way, the first thing he saw was many familiar figures.
Moreover, on the same day that he arrived in Liu Bei's sphere of influence, Qin Zheng in Youzhou also sent an envoy to Liu Bei's sphere of influence!
Since then, Qin Zheng and Zhao Kuangyin sent envoys to Dou and Liu in Qingzhou at the same time.
