Zhao Feng showed a solemn expression. Even so, Zhang Xiu fled and wanted to join Cao's army, but in comparison, Jingzhou is also very important.
Jingzhou is rich and fertile, and the land of seven counties is even comparable to that of two states and counties.
Cao Cao continued: "When did Liu Biao die of illness?"
They originally hoped that Liu Biao could suppress the ambitions of Lu Bu and Sun Ce. Now that he is dead, Sun Ce and Lu Bu will definitely want to seize Jingzhou.
This is not a good thing for Cao Cao.
Zhao Feng took a breath and said, "It was also yesterday. It was too much of a coincidence."
This Lu Bu is really lucky, and such good things can happen to him.
"Now, I will immediately send my troops south to seize the land of Jingzhou!"
Cao Cao also nodded. He also thought so. Under Liu Biao's governance, Jingzhou was not even half as good as Chen Liu. Cao Cao would definitely not give up such a wealthy place.
"Military advisor, when will you leave?"
Now the fight for Jingzhou is imminent. If we are a little slower, Jingzhou will definitely be divided between Lu Bu and Sun Ce.
As for Liu Biao's sons Liu Qi, Liu Cong and others, they had no ability to resist.
Zhao Feng said calmly: "Let's set off today and let Zixiao lead 50,000 elite soldiers as a vanguard to attack Xinye!"
Nanyang Xinye is where Lu Bu is now. Changes are happening all over the place, and Zhao Feng is also worried about Jiangdong.
In the battle for Jingzhou, Lu Bu and Sun Ce were weak. If the two of them were in alliance, would there be another Battle of Chibi?
Although Zhao Feng didn't care at all when faced with Lu Bu and Sun Ce's alliance, since he was here, it was impossible to let this happen!
Cao Cao nodded, deeply agreeing with Zhao Feng's words. At the same time, the Tongque ambush in Jiangdong also became active.
Jiangdong seems to be very calm, but Zhao Feng has not missed any information about Jiangdong. Zhao Feng is fully aware of the changes that happened in Jiangdong.
In Nanyang County, Chen Gong also learned about the news of Liu Biao's death. At this moment, his face showed joy and he came to Lu Bu.
"Lord, God helps our army!"
"Now that Liu Biao has died of illness, we can definitely send troops to occupy Jingzhou!"
After hearing the news, Lu Bu's eyes were also excited. He, Lu Bu, had been feeling aggrieved for a long time. Will he finally take off with Liu Biao's death today?
"Gongtai, how do we send troops?"
Chen Gong said confidently: "My lord, I am too anxious. When sending troops, we must pay attention to the reputation of our divisions. We can use the name of Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi to regain the land of Jingzhou!"
Liu Qi was originally deeply loved by Liu Biao, but because of his stepmother's slander, he is now also his number one choice as a puppet.
Lu Bu smiled faintly and said: "Among the seven lands in Jingzhou, at least I want to win three counties, right?"
However, Chen Gong shook his head again and said: "No, it's not safe enough. Cao Cao will definitely know about Liu Biao's death in Jingzhou."
"We are weak, if we face this Cao army, how many counties can we win? Counting Jiangdong, how many counties can we get?"
After listening to Chen Gong's analysis, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him, and he froze in place for an instant.
Both Jiangdong and Cao Cao have strong military forces and much higher capital than him.
Lu Bu asked: "Gongtai, what should we do?"
Chen Gong was silent for a moment. He did not expect this follow-up plan. It was very impressive to be able to analyze the current situation so thoroughly.
However, he still understood what he needed to do, and then continued: "However, although Nanyang is good, our army cannot stand firm. Now it is best to send troops southward and occupy Nanjun or Jiangxia!"
Lu Bu looked puzzled.
"Gongtai, why should we abandon Nanyang County?"
Chen Gong shook his head and continued: "If Cao Cao sends his troops south, the first one to attack is Nanyang County. We don't have to fight with it, so we might as well give it up!"
"It would be best to find a way to make Cao Cao and Sun Ce fight with each other. We would have been able to sit back and reap the benefits, but it will be even more difficult for us!"
Lu Bu also sighed slightly: "In that case, let's take Nanjun first."
At the same time Jiangdong.
"Brother, now that Liu Biao is dead, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us!"
Sun Quan looked at Sun Ce in front of him and said.
His eyes are full of ambitions. The seven places in Jingzhou are the center of the world and must be fought over by military strategists of all ages.
"Brother, if we can get Jingzhou, we will get half of the world!"
Seeing that Sun Ce was still hesitating, Sun Quan said again, but despite this, Sun Ce was still hesitant.
"If we fight for Jingzhou, we will definitely face Duke Cao. He is kind to us!"
It was precisely because of this that Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other generals did not speak, while Zhou Yu had a ruthless look in his eyes.
"Lord, our army and Cao's army are bound to go through a battle. It is only a matter of time before Cao Cao attacks our land in Jiangdong. Why not do it as soon as possible?"
Sun Ce waved his hand to reject everyone. Although he was brave, he still remembered his kindness to Cao Cao.
"That's it. If Cao Cao doesn't take action against us, we can't attack Cao Cao first!"
Everyone dispersed, and everyone still admired Sun Ce's move.
Sun Ce was able to endure the seven places in Jingzhou without being tempted, which made them extremely admired.
A ruthless look flashed in Sun Quan's eyes, and he also showed a hint of disgust towards his brother. If these seven lands of Jingzhou were given to Cao Cao, it would be equivalent to giving up half of the world to Cao Cao!
Since his brother cannot be this evil person who breaks his word, then it is necessary for him, the younger brother, to stand up.
Today he raised the matter and confirmed who agreed to send troops to Jingzhou.
At least Zhou Yu of the Zhou family in Lujiang agreed with this matter.
Then, Sun Quan asked Zhou Yu out alone.
"General Zhou, I have something important to discuss with you!"
Zhou Yu is also a shrewd person and naturally knows what Sun Quan is thinking. He smiled slightly and said, "Is Zhongmou interested in the seven places in Jingzhou?"
Sun Quan said without any intention of refusing: "There are some things that my brother won't make a decision on, so naturally I have to help him!"
Looking into Sun Quan's eyes, Zhou Yu let out a breath. He didn't expect that his lord's younger brother was so ambitious.
Although Sun Quan would usually say something in parliament, now he has begun to exceed the scope of his rights.
Seeing Zhou Yu's hesitant look, Sun Quan said again: "General Zhou doesn't need to feel pressure, just say that everything was ordered by me."
They have now occupied Jiangdong, so why not seek to conquer the world?
Do you want to watch Cao Cao regain the world?
So what if this treacherous thing is done in front of the world?
Looking at Sun Quan's determined look, Zhou Yu smiled and said: "It seems that Zhongmou has already thought about how to make a decision?"
I saw a glint in Sun Quan's eyes as he said, "Send someone to make an alliance with Lu Bu and ask him to help occupy the land of Jingzhou!"
"When Cao Jun sends his troops into Jingzhou, we will directly send troops to attack. By then we will have a big battle with Cao Jun. Even if my brother wants to restore the relationship, he will be unable to stop him!"
In a few words, Sun Quan revealed all his plans.
This ruthless method forced Sun Quan to go to the opposite side of Cao Cao!
