"Liu Daer, you are so shameless!" When they heard that Guan Yu was coming to Cao Cao's territory, Zhao Kuangyin's forces and Cao Cao's forces were furious!
For Zhao Kuangyin's forces, how could they be happy with such an extra piece of cake?
According to Zhao Kuangyin's original idea, the worst outcome would be that he would only eat Cao Cao's cake, while Liu Bei and Dou Jiande would work together to share Chi You's cake. The better result is that after Zhao Kuangyin takes Cao Cao's cake, he can also grab Chi You's cake.
But now the situation is reversed. They haven't captured Cao Cao yet, but Liu Bei wants to share Cao Cao's cake first.
"This Liu Da'er is not afraid of overstuffing himself!" Zhao Kuangyin angrily greeted the 18 generations of Liu Bei's ancestors one after another.
After hearing this, several generals under his command coughed slightly. After all, they were also young men who respected Liu Bei in name, but Zhao Kuangyin seemed not to hear it and continued to scold him as he should.
Now, the ministers didn't hear it at all. Anyway, the people present are their own people, and it will not be spread. Besides, even if this kind of thing spreads, the worst case scenario is that they will refuse to admit it.
As for Cao Cao's forces, they have even more headaches at this time, except of course, Cao Cao. Under this continuous bad news, Cao Cao's headaches have been forced to alleviate a lot.
They tried their best to block Zhao Kuangyin, but they still had to retreat steadily. If Guan Yu was added to the mix, they wouldn't be able to carry it even if they wanted to!
Moreover, even if Cao Cao wants to mobilize a suitable general to resist Guan Yu at this time, it is difficult to find him!
Guan Yu is also a famous general in Qingzhou, and not just anyone can deal with him! There are only a limited number of people under Cao Cao who are qualified to compete with Guan Yu. And these people are now being used on the first front to resist Zhao Kuangyin, and it is difficult to mobilize any one of them.
Moreover, the people in Liu Bei's influence scolded Cao Cao to death during this period, and brought out Cao Cao's bad things over and over again.
Whether it's grabbing the wives of his subordinates or digging the graves of his ancestors, in short, Cao Cao's personal morality was already a problem, and now it was even more of a stinker. In particular, many of the graves dug by Cao Cao were those of relatives of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao was scolded to death.
Unlike Zhao Kuangyin and Cao Cao's forces, Li Xiang's forces were relatively happy after hearing the news.
In today's world, the most important thing for Li Xiang's forces is a balance, a balance between the various princes. The strength of any one party can exceed that of the other party, but it cannot exceed the other party by too much and cannot be in the world. annex the other party within a short period of time.
As long as the power of one party cannot surpass the other in a short period of time, then there will not be a giant force among the princes in the world in a short period of time.
At this time, Liu Bei went to grab the cake prepared by Zhao Kuangyin. In this way, on the one hand, Liu Bei's power expanded more than expected. The more Liu Bei's power expands, the less Zhao Kuangyin's power will expand.
Secondly, after this set of operations, friction between the forces of Liu Bei and Zhao Kuangyin also started.
In short, when the demise of Cao Cao and Chi You has been determined, Guan Yu turns to attack Cao Cao at this time, which is not a bad thing for the Jin army. At least, the advantages always outweigh the disadvantages.
At this time, Yuan Shao's forces to the north of Cao Cao were in a quarrel again!
The counselors under him were divided into three factions at this time!
One of the factions believes that they should decisively go north at this time and take advantage of Qin Zheng's trouble to attack Qin Zheng vigorously. This is their biggest enemy now. If they don't take advantage of this moment to attack Qin Zheng vigorously, it will be the other party's turn to hit them after they recover.
After all, Qin Zheng sent envoys to Liu Bei and Dou Jiande, and Yuan Shao confirmed this matter after many investigations.
The second faction thinks that they should grab Cao Cao's piece of cake now. This piece of cake is obviously given to him for free. With Yuan Shao's losses in the last battle just now, he can easily get such a piece of cake. I came with a cake to replenish my health.
As for the last faction, they believe that they should rest and recuperate at this time. In the last battle, among the northern princes, Yuan Shao suffered the greatest losses. At this time, Yuan Shao's power was also extremely weak. In principle, there was no need to continue fighting. The most important thing was to recuperate and regain strength.
We cannot say who is right or wrong among these three factions. After all, everyone has their own basis.
Those who put forward these three views are all counselors who can leave their names in the history books. They must have carefully considered them and they are all the directions they think are right.
But it is precisely because of this that Yuan Shao has the biggest headache. As a patient with a high degree of difficulty in choosing, even if you present two choices, it has already given Yuan Shao a big headache. This time, you directly presented three choices. A choice, doesn't this push Yuan Shao to a dead end?
Generally speaking, when Yuan Shao encounters this kind of situation, even if he won't lie down completely, he will have to lie down for at least a while. Let his hands go out and quarrel first, and let them come up with a result first. !
At the same time, when the various princes in the Han Dynasty were making troubles, the war between the newly established Jin Dynasty and Yuan Meng in the northern frontier was about to begin!
Wang Baobao of Bingzhou, Meng Gong of Hezhou, and Dou Xian of Liangzhou each sent 20,000 cavalry to Yuanmeng in three groups.
The governors of the three states were not dispatched in this battle. First, this time, the generals of the various states of the Jin army came directly to make a big change of defense. Not to mention the governors of the states, they were all new arrivals. There were many generals under them, and They are all new arrivals, and the governors of each state are busy sorting out each state and understanding the situation in each state.
Secondly, each state only dispatched 20,000 troops and fought only local battles, not a full-scale war.
If even such a local battle requires the governor of each state to personally appear. So, if one day in the future, there is an all-out war with Yuanmeng, who's turn will it be?
Besides, at this time, the strongest generals among Yuan Meng's forces were not here either, and were busy entangled with Su Dingfang! Murong Ke, Murong Chui, Mu Huali, and Mao Dun are all in the west now. The local generals of Yuan and Meng are all the next batch of generals. Wang Baobao, Meng Gong, and Dou Xian are enough.
