Zhuge Liang looked at Zhao Feng and said: "It is a bit abnormal for Soochow Wu not to take action at this time."
Others naturally noticed this, but they couldn't figure out Soochow's thoughts for a while.
Guo Jia also analyzed it carefully, then stepped forward and bowed and said: "My lord, in my opinion, Soochow has only two choices now, one is to surrender, the other is to fight to the death and burn the boat!"
"It's just that I don't think Soochow will choose the former. It's just where Soochow wants to attack, which is a bit intriguing."
Everyone nodded and showed solemn expressions. They all agreed with Guo Jia's views.
At this time, Soochow still had one and a half states, Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, and Cao's army in Jiaozhou had already used a large army to compete with them. Soochow did not have many troops here at all.
If they still have ideas, they will most likely come to attack Jingzhou.
Sure enough, Lu Su stepped forward and said, "My lord, Jingzhou must be defended. This place has always been a battleground for military strategists."
Zhao Feng also nodded. The big reason why he was able to capture Yizhou and Liangzhou so quickly was because he captured Jingzhou.
On the surface, Jingzhou seems to be the most likely place, but Zhao Feng always feels that something is wrong.
Just as everyone was thinking, the sound of footsteps interrupted everyone.
"Report to my lord, there are changes in Soochow."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present turned their sharp eyes to this person.
The scout looked around slightly, then looked at Zhao Feng and bowed.
After hearing this, Zhao Feng finally showed a smile on his face. Could Soochow couldn't help it? Is he going to stretch out his sharp claws now?
Then he looked at the scout and said calmly: "Tell me."
Under the gaze of everyone, the scout became slightly nervous, swallowed his saliva and continued: "In Jiaozhou, all the soldiers of Soochow seem to have left."
"There are no troops from Soochow in Jiaozhou today, only our army of 100,000."
Hearing this, everyone showed a look of surprise. It was obvious that Soochow's abandonment of Jiaozhou was not what they expected.
"What?"
"Have all the soldiers of Soochow evacuated Jiaozhou?"
Not only the people below, but also Zhao Feng did not expect Soochow to give up Jiaozhou on its own initiative. Jiaozhou was not a small territory.
Although Yangzhou is also bordered by Jingzhou, without Jiaozhou, their attack on Jingzhou would be meaningless.
Thinking of this, Zhao Feng's expression changed slightly, and then he said lightly: "Xuchang, Soochow's goal is Xuchang."
Nowadays, there are only a few states and counties that Yangzhou can attack.
Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Jingzhou, after a little comparison of these three states, you can guess what Soochow was thinking.
Everyone was just surprised for a moment, then their expressions returned to normal and they all laughed.
"This Soochow is quite courageous. He wants to take the entire capital directly into his hands, but does he underestimate us too much?"
"Since they want to play, then play with them."
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Soochow currently has at most 200,000 troops. Do you want to invade Xuchang with just this number of troops?"
Now that Cao Wei is the general trend, Soochow is still thinking of resisting to the death.
Zhao Feng looked at the people below and said, "We have a lot of troops stationed in Yuzhou and Xuzhou. How dare he invade my realm with just his 200,000 troops?"
"Soochow is going to cross the river to harass me, Xuchang. That's good, let him cross the river, and we also have to cross the river. Jingzhou will lead the army to kill Yangzhou directly and attack Huanglong."
"I want to see where the courage of Soochow comes from!"
Xuchang, in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
At this time, Cao Cao was admiring a few words on the wall. These were written by Zhao Feng in his early years. In addition, the cost of making paper was very high, so he kept it well.
"Prime Minister, things have changed!"
Xi Zhicai took small steps and bowed behind Cao Cao and said.
This made Cao Cao frown, turned around, looked at Xi Zhicai and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xi Zhicai let out a breath, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes, "There was a great change in Soochow. They evacuated all their troops in Jiaozhou and are now accumulating troops in Yangzhou. Their goal is most likely Xuchang."
"Our plans may have to be postponed for a while."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Cao Cao in front of him and observed his expression.
Although Xi Zhicai has been managing internal affairs, his abilities in other aspects are not weak at all.
Regarding Soochow's intentions, he also made a lot of guesses, and the Xuchang incident must be postponed.
Cao Cao looked in the direction of Soochow and smiled, "Soochow is quite courageous, but fortunately Zhao Feng had expected this day."
"Now the troops around Xuchang can easily mobilize an army of 200,000."
After all, the current Han Dynasty does not have any foreign troubles. The foreign tribes are guarded by the Gongsun family of Youzhou. All the troops have been dispatched to Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou. It is not surprising that there are 200,000 troops in Xuchang.
After all, Xuchang also exists as a capital city.
Now that Zhao Feng and others are not here, the only generals in their hands are Dian Wei, Yu Jin, Gao Lan and others. However, it is the same at Soochow, there are not many generals.
Cao Cao waved his hand, showing displeasure.
"In this case, the plan will be postponed for a while. I didn't expect that this thing would jump out at this time."
"Let Gao Lan and Yu Jin command the surrounding soldiers and prepare for battle. At the same time, we will send spies to confirm."
Xi Zhicai nodded, bowed before turning and leaving.
After Xi Zhicai left, Cao Cao looked thoughtful. Now Soochow has ruined his big event!
He brought troops here at this critical moment. Under his influence, the imperial court had just experienced a wave of turmoil, and now it was about to face another war. However, Cao Cao did not let down his guard against Soochow.
Although there is no movement in Soochow yet, Cao Cao is waiting for their move.
Not only that, under Zhao Feng's arrangement, Jingzhou also began to secretly mobilize troops. As long as Dongwu crossed the river, he would dare to lead his army directly into Yangzhou!
Everyone is waiting for the news of Soochow. Now every move of Soochow can affect the life and death of Soochow.
To outsiders, it seemed that the world had become quiet again. In less than ten years, there was only Soochow left in the world.
The promotion of the farming system has benefited thousands of families all over the world. Because of the original grain reserves, the tax on grains has even been intentionally reduced in the past two years.
In terms of food, there has long been nothing to worry about, and there is only one place in the world that is worried about food, and that is Soochow.
Soochow, the capital city is Yuhang.
Because Yuzhou and Xuzhou had always been in the hands of Cao Wei, it was impossible for Soochow to locate its capital in Moling as it had historically.
Moling was Jianye before it was renamed. Moling was close to Xuzhou and could be reached directly as long as Xuzhou mobilized its troops.
Naturally, Sun Quan did not dare to do this, and instead established his capital in Yuhang.
"Your Majesty, you have to think about it carefully."
Lu Xun looked at the person in front of him. At this moment, all the confidants of Soochow were gathered here.
