Regarding the incident of Sima Yi coming to surrender, Yu Ji was both surprised and happy. Naturally, she was surprised because she knew exactly what kind of person Sima Yi was, and this kind of person was not easy to control.
I am also happy that Sima Yi has taken refuge in him. Although the opponent is indeed difficult to control, it is undeniable that this is a real talent, and they happen to be very short of such talents.
The Xiang clan is pretty good at military generals, but the number of civil servants is far from satisfactory.
Next is the situation in Yuzhou. Sun Wu's plan is indeed good. Because of the geographical location, the Yellow Turbans who finally got the opportunity are bound to win the territory of Lu County.
Based on Sun Ce's current situation, he is indeed unable to defend Lu County. Of course, at this time, it is absolutely impossible to provoke another prince.
As Sun Wu expected, the Yellow Turbans were not willing to see the strength of their old rival Cao Cao expand. Zhang Dingbian did not mind doing Sun Ce a small favor if he could get Lu County, and at the same time, it was also to give Cao Cao, his old rival
Looking for trouble.
However, when Chi You sent troops to Qingzhou, and the territory was already obtained, the strength of this support was naturally limited. Although he took advantage, Zhang Dingbian would not really fight with Cao Cao for Sun Ce.
A life or death.
Cao Cao felt a certain amount of pressure and did not dare to go all out to deal with Sun Ce. Zhang Dingbian believed that he was worthy of this transaction.
At the same time, on the front battlefield, Sun Wu used Sun Ce to fake his death and wanted to trick Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, and Xun You, Cheng Yu, Chen Gong and other counselors were not vegetarians, and they used small tricks one after another.
The troops lured out Sun Wu's back-up force. Although there was a small defeat, fortunately the loss was not too great.
Next, Sun Wu won a few small victories again. Although the gains were not much, they also boosted the morale of the army and swept away the previous dejection of consecutive defeats.
And it was precisely because of these small defeats that Cao Cao understood that when it came to his own art of war, which he had always been quite proud of, it seemed that he really couldn't defeat Sun Wu.
Fortunately, although Cao Cao has many shortcomings, his advantages are equally significant, and his good mentality is one of his advantages. Since he cannot defeat the opponent in the art of war, Cao Cao will not use his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths.
Since Cao Cao was no match for the opponent in the frontal strategy of war, it was fortunate for Cao Cao to seek a breakthrough from the flanks. He personally led the army to confront Sun Wu from the front, while Tian Ji and Cao Ren looked for opportunities from their respective flanks. No matter how strong Sun Wu was, he would not be able to defeat him.
The art of clone. If one of the three battlefields cannot withstand it, Sun will have a difficult time in the future.
In Yongzhou, Li Xiang carefully read this sealed report. What was written here were all the recent major events in various parts of the world. If it were not a major event, these things would not have been passed on to Li Xiang.
This has become a habit of Li Xiang. He must know the major events happening all over the world in the shortest possible time. Only in this way can he grasp the pulse of the world and make reasonable decisions about the future based on the actual situation.
"Tell Jinglue that there is no need to intervene in a hurry. Let's issue an imperial edict to admonish both parties first!" Li Xiang thought for a moment and then ordered to the people below.
Sun Ce ordered people to come to the court to ask for help. However, in the current court, the decision was not made by Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, but by Li Xiang, the king of Jin Dynasty. Therefore, Wang Meng ordered people to come quickly to report the matter and asked about Li Xiang's life.
Decide.
To be honest, Li Xiang is not ready to intervene in this matter for the time being. The Sun family is not easily beaten. Let them continue to fight. Whether they will intervene in the end depends on how the situation develops!
What's more, Li Xiang now represents the imperial court after all, so he shouldn't blatantly sidetrack him. In this matter, anyone with knowledge can see that Sun Ce fell into Cao Cao's scheme, and this gave Cao Cao a reason to send troops.
But it is obvious that without evidence, it is of no use. We can only blame Sun Ce for being inferior to others.
No matter how much pain or resentment there is behind this matter, Sun Ce has to swallow it himself!
To give an inappropriate example, in the Three Kingdoms, what happened between Cao Cao and Xuzhou, no matter whether it was Tao Qian himself or not, but since he was caught by Cao Cao and had a reason to beat him, it can only be blamed.
He is on his own, and he can only bear the blame for this, and no one else can blame him.
As for the so-called issuing an imperial edict to exhort, it was just a formality on the surface. He Li Xiang didn't have that face. He casually asked Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to write an imperial edict, and Cao Mengde was willing to lead the army back obediently and gave up.
This opportunity has been planned so hard.
However, Li Xiang really admired Sun Wu and Sun Ce this time. Although they moved less than half of the population, Sun Ce only had a small amount of territory after all, and he actually gave up the territory of a county.
Of course, although this method was a helpless move, it was also a wise move. First of all, Sun Ce could not allocate troops to defend Lu County. In other words, even if he did not give up Lu County in exchange, the place would basically not be able to be saved.
Secondly, making another enemy will only make Sun Ce's current situation worse. By doing so, at least they can use all their strength to defend the remaining territory.
Even if Li Xiang were in Sun Ce's position, he might temporarily give in to Yuan Shu at this time and improve the relationship between the two parties.
If you don't want to be able to bring back a supporting force, you must at least stabilize Yuan Shu and free up that part of the force. If there was not always the threat of Xian Zhen, why would Sun Wu have to fight so hard.
"Fight, fight, the more intense the fight, the better!" Li Xiang looked up at the starry sky and muttered to himself.
For Li Xiang, the more fiercely these people fight, the better. The more fiercely they fight, the better it is for him.
Nowadays, Yuzhou has become one, but Jingzhou is still brewing. This powder keg will not be stable for long.
Not to mention the Xiang clan, which has been preparing for an attack, Zhu Yuanzhang of Yangzhou has almost digested Hong Xiuquan's power at this time, and has begun to look for the next target.
In recent years, although Lao Zhu was one of the earliest princes born, he acted quite steadily. The weaker family gradually annexed the Shanyue population, until the foundation was completely laid, and then they took over Hong Xiuquan's territory.
Meat that has been sitting on the side of your mouth without eating it.
Among the princes in the world, if we talk about who has the strongest foundation, Lao Zhu is definitely the first choice. In this regard, Li Xiang also expressed that he feels ashamed.
Among the princes in the south, except for Yizhou, which is isolated from the world, Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely the strongest. Although talents are important, it would be a dream to think that having talents can defeat everything. Xiang Yu has the highest strength, and the number of Jingbei generals is superior.
, but when one hundred thousand soldiers pass by, your general will have to run even if he should.
