Fazheng looked anxious, "Your Majesty, our strength is not as good as Cao Cao's and the Chu Kingdom. There are hundreds of thousands of people from Zhong Yao and Cao Hong in Guanzhong. If Your Majesty goes north in person, Cao's army will definitely support them."
"The State of Chu is still confronting the State of Wei in Huainan. If we don't take this opportunity to march in a large number of troops and capture Guanzhong, we will miss this time. Who knows whether there will be such a good opportunity in the future!"
Liu Bei was still a little worried, "Guanzhong is more important than Huainan. I am afraid that I will lead the army northward myself, and Cao Cao will personally lead his troops back to support."
Liu Bei's worries are not unreasonable. Compared with Huainan, Guanzhong and Yongliang, it is more important to the Cao family.
By relying on Guanzhong, Sima Yi was not only able to resist Zhuge Liang's attack, but he could also feed back the central government with Guanzhong's production during wartime!
It can be seen that the strategic importance of Guanzhong has risen to another level compared to Huainan.
As for why Liu Bei was afraid of meeting Cao Cao in person, Liu Bei had great successes in his life. When he took control of Xuzhou, Liu Bei also had some troops.
But as a result, when I met Boss Cao, it was not a disastrous defeat, a huge defeat!
As long as Cao Cao led the army, Liu Bei was defeated without exception, and the defeat was particularly miserable. Cao Cao chased Liu Bei from the north to the south.
Tell me, is Uncle Liu Huang free from Caophobia now?
Even if you have occupied two rivers, even if you have a large number of talents, troops, and population, you still have to fight Cao Cao's army, especially a large army led by Cao Cao himself.
To be honest, Uncle Liu Huang was still a little scared.
This is a feeling of fear that Cao Cao has been suppressing for his entire life.
This symptom can only be changed if Uncle Liu Huang really defeats Cao Cao once.

Fazheng continued anxiously, "My King! What will happen if the Cao thieves come? Their hundreds of thousands of troops are in Huainan now, and Liu Cong will not let them return north easily."
"The Cao thief has insufficient troops and his life or death is uncertain. Such an opportunity will never come again in the future, Your Majesty!"
Liu Bei was not an indecisive person, so he immediately ordered, "Okay, Xiaozhi, then I will leave this place to you. I don't ask you to recover Nanzhong, I just ask you to block the coalition forces of Lu Meng and Liu Xun."
"I will leave you 50,000 people. I will take 10,000 people and rush back to Chengdu immediately, gather your troops and go north to support Kong Ming!"
Fazheng said sternly, "Your Majesty, although Cao Cao's bandits are not strong enough, they should not be underestimated. You must be prepared for a big battle and a protracted war!"
Liu Bei smiled confidently, "You know what, the big deal is, let's have another men's battle and the women's luck. It's not a big deal, as long as we capture Guanzhong and Yongliang, all this effort will be worth it!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
On the same day, Liu Bei led 10,000 horses back north, leaving Fazheng and Lu Meng to confront each other.
The Wei and Chu armies in Huainan have already begun to mobilize troops.
"Zhou Yu obeys the order!"
"The end is here!"
"I will give you 150,000, no, 200,000 people. Go directly to the banks of the Huaihe River and be sure to stop the Wei army from returning north!"
"The last general takes command!"
Lu Su stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Wei army is all elite from the north. The Huaihe River is all made up of iron cables and pontoon bridges. Our navy has lost its role."
"If we set up formations along the coast and Cao's cavalry attacks and our army cannot withstand it, then..."
At this point, Lu Su didn't dare to say anything anymore. Liu Cong took over his words with a smile, "But there's no way out, right?"
"Zijing, your worries are not unreasonable. Gu has also thought about this problem, but now, Gu has figured it out! When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win!"
"In this battle, hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting. If we can annihilate the Wei army as much as possible, then the resistance to our march north will be much smaller in the future!"
"This battle is related to the national destiny of the two countries. For this reason, even if it means losing some of our troops, I will not hesitate!"
Seeing Liu Cong's serious look, Lu Su understood that Liu Cong wanted to keep the Wei army as long as possible regardless of his own casualties!

Zhou Yu patted Lu Su on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Zijing, you don't have to worry. Although the Wei army is strong, their military morale has been shaken due to this matter, and they have no intention of fighting with our army!"
"I led the troops to form a formation on the shore, used chariots and giant shields to resist Cao's cavalry, and counterattacked with catapults and repeating crossbows. The Wei cavalry could not overcome any waves!"
Lu Su nodded, still looking worried, "But there is still a problem. How can we determine the Wei army's retreat route? It must be from the north of the Huaihe River?"
Liu Cong smiled bitterly and said, "Gu and Gong Jin have also discussed this, but they can't think of any good way. After all, smart people like Jia Xu will not make mistakes easily."
The Chu army lacks cavalry. If the Wei army insists on retreating to the west, the Chu army will not be able to catch up. Although the journey to the west is longer, it can reach Cao Wei's territory as quickly as possible.
They can also return to Xudu as soon as possible, and even Wancheng's army can join up with the retreating army. In this way, Liu Cong and Zhou Yu's goal of encircling and annihilating Cao's army may be a little difficult.
Liu Cong and Zhou Yu discussed this matter for a long time, but neither of them came up with any good strategy.
If your legs are on someone else's body, how can you still control their thoughts and make them have to cross the river?
Liu Cong once proposed that he station troops in the west to use his power to stop Cao's army, but Zhou Yu rejected it.
Let’s not talk about whether Liu Cong can stop Cao Jun with the remaining men. Just talk about his identity. Civil and military officials did not agree to let him take risks.

Besides, if the Wei army really withdraws from crossing the Huai River to the north, Liu Cong will be stationed in the west and will not have time to support Zhou Yu.
The Wei army no longer had any fighting spirit, but if Zhou Yu deployed his formation along the Huaihe River to block the Wei army's eagerness to retreat north, he would definitely attack to the death.
This would require another large army to attack and harass the Wei army. In this case, the Wei army would be defeated from both sides and would be defeated.
At this time, he could only pray that Cao Pi would not listen to the advice, or that Jia Xu would become confused.
Lu Su thought for a long time, then raised his hands to Liu Cong and said, "Your Majesty, I do have an idea."
Liu Cong's eyes lit up, "Oh? What's Zijing's clever plan?"
"Since we don't know what the Wei army is doing, why not mobilize a large army to surround the Wei army's camp?"
As soon as Lu Su finished speaking, Zhou Yu retorted, "Zijing, it's not like the king and I haven't thought of this method before. But you have to know that it is a camp for more than 200,000 troops."
"We only have 300,000 troops. If we spread out to surround the Wei army camp, our troops will be even more dispersed. The Wei army has more than 200,000 troops, and there are tens of thousands of cavalry. If they charge directly to one point,
, it’s so easy to break through the siege!”
Lu Su chuckled and shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, we cannot disperse our forces, but we do not necessarily have to stop the Wei army from retreating north."

"What does Zijing mean?"
"Your Majesty, the reason why the Wei army returned to the north is that they are afraid of changes in the rear. Compared with the fierceness when they first came, the current Wei army's momentum has declined. If the king arranges his troops in front of the military camp, he will make a
If I want to surround them, the Wei army will definitely come out and fight us desperately. If I were Cao Pi, he would never let the Chu army surround me."
Liu Feng curled his lips and said, "Rong Gu, think about it."
