Chapter 53 Cao Pi succeeded to the throne and became the third king. Nanye sent troops to Xiliang 6

Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and Yang Xiong have long seen the scene of Zhou Yu's siege, so they are more dissatisfied with Zhou Yu. Naturally, the three of them were able to lead the troops in time because they were ordered by Nan Ye. Although Nanye himself did not come to attack Nan County, it was not difficult to deliver the news. However, when Nan Ye ordered, he didn't expect Zhao Yun and others to come so coincidentally. In fact, even if they were two days late, it was not a big problem, and it was still the same result.

When Zhao Yun saw that Zhou Yu had withdrawn his army, he also ordered the soldiers to line up. He immediately arched his hand and said, "I'm Zhao Zilong in Changshan, and the opposite is the governor of Zhou Gongjin?"

Zhou Yu has also heard of Zhao Yunwei's reputation. With Nan Ye's rise, Nan Ye's generals also became famous. Some good people arranged the generals of Nan Ye, saying that there was a dragon, a tiger and a bear under Nan Ye's command, and two immortals and two pairs of halberds. One dragon and one tiger refers to Zhao Zilong and Han Hu, and Xiong refers not to Bai Yi but Yang Xiong. The two immortals refer to the sword god Yue and the god of war Lv Bu, and the two pairs of halberd refer to Dian Wei and Zhou Cang.

Of course, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao and others are not bad, but they follow Nan Ye late and are not arranged. Although Zhang Liao and Xu Huang followed Nan Ye earlier and their official positions were not low, most of them were in Jiaozhou, and it was little known that they rarely went on expeditions with Nan Ye.

Knowing that it was Zhao Yun in front of him, Zhou Yu gave up the idea of fighting. He immediately saluted and said, "I am Zhou Yu. Is General Zhao Xing's troops here sent by the national division? Don't you know that the national division can be in the army?

Zhao Yun knew that Zhou Yu had agreed with Zhuge Liang and Nan Ye to attack Nan County in turn. Naturally, he knew that Zhou Yu was going to plead guilty, so he replied with a smile, "It's not the dispatch of the national teacher, but the city guards surrendered, so I led the army to surrender."

Zhou Yu sneered and said, "The defenders in the city just surrendered today. Why did General Zhao come so fast? Is it possible to bully me?"

Zhao Yun said neither humble nor arrogantly: "I dare to deceive Governor Zhou. In fact, the guards in the city and the guards of the four counties of Jingnan have generally secretly defected to the national division for a long time. Only because Cao Cao sent the general one step ahead and the general was eager to take action, he waited for me to lead the army to respond. I don't want the governor to come first to drive away Cao Jun for me. Zhao Yun is here to thank the governor.

Zhou Yu was stunned when he heard Zhao Yun's words, because Zhao Yun's words were not impossible. Since Zhao Yun came to ask for help, Zhou Yu was no wonder that Zhao Yun sent troops. After all, Zhao Yun did not know that Zhou Yu's agreement to take Nanjun first, even if it was not a breach of contract. Zhou Yu saw that Zhao Yun was handsome and heroic, not like a cunning man, so he believed what Zhao Yun said and said to Zhao Yun, "General Zhao doesn't have to thank me. To be honest, I have an appointment with the national teacher to take the South County first. If the national teacher is not successful, I will take it. Now that I have defeated Cao's army, it is reasonable for me to take Nanjun, and the general's coming to take it has made the national division lose credibility.

Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows and pretended to be stupid when he heard the words, "Oh? How can there be such a thing! But I have never heard of it. The national teacher has always been benevolent and righteous, and I can't trap the national teacher in injustice. However, the defenders in the city have surrendered to the national division, and I can't sit and watch the governor continue to attack the city. What's wrong with this?

Zhou Yu saw that Zhao Yun looked in a dilemma and regarded Zhao Yun as straightforward and easy to deceive, so he said, "Why is this? Since the general has returned to the national division, General Zhao ordered the general to leave the city. In this way, when the city * scholar returns to the national division and the land of the southern county belongs to me, it can increase the number of soldiers and horses to the national division, and will not let the national division lose credibility. Isn't it be the best of both sides?

Zhao Yun patted his forehead and smiled, "The governor's words are really a wonderful strategy. However, he didn't know whether the appointment between the governor and the national teacher was true or not, and Zhao Yun did not dare to sacrifice the city. I don't think it's as good as this. The governor will be here for a few days, and I will send someone to ask the original committee of the national division and then lead the troops to leave the city. After saying that, without waiting for Zhou Yu to agree, he said to the soldiers behind him, "I'll wait and go to the city to rest first. Wait for the military order of the National Division.

Zhou Yu and Jiang Dongzhong were sent to the state army to enter the city, but they couldn't say a word. Zhao Yun was very polite from beginning to end. He didn't say that he would not let the city. He just said that he wanted to ask Nan Ye. How could Zhou Yu refuse? As for the strong attack on Nan County, Zhou Yu dared not think that Zhao Yun and others could not attack the city before Zhou Yu, and the Jiaozhou army was even more powerless as soon as Zhou Yu arrived. Now Zhou Yu can only hope that Nanye has a good character and orders Zhao Yun to give up the land of Nan County. Fortunately, Liu Bei's camp in Yaujiang is not far from here. It won't take long for Zhao Yun to send people here and again. Zhou Yu stayed in the camp and waited for the good news.

Nanye's character can't be said to be bad, but it's not good enough to spit out the meat he ate in his mouth. Zhou Yu waited for several days without getting a reply from Zhao Yun, so he simply sent someone to Yujiang to find Nan Ye. But when Zhou Yu's messenger arrived at Youjiang, he was dumbfounded. Where is Nan Ye here? Even Liu Bei's camp is gone.

Zhou Yu heard the news and hurriedly ordered people to inquire about the wherement of Nanye and Liu Bei. As a result, he returned: "Guanghua National Division has gone to Nanyang County. Liu Xuande doesn't know where he got the military charm of Cao's army in Nan County. He fraudulently claimed Nanjun to Xiangyang's general for help. After attracting troops and horses, he attacked Xiangyang..."

Without waiting for the details, Zhou Yu asked urgently, "Why did Nanye go to Nanyang?" When did Liu Bei take Xiangyang?

said in detail: "Cao Cao was killed by Ma Chao, and Nanyang County was also obtained by Ma Chao, so the national teacher went to Nanyang to sit in the town. Liu Xuande took Xiangyang in a few days.

When Zhou Yu heard the words, he shouted that the arrow broke down and clenched his fist and said angrily, "I'm Nanye and Zhuge Liang's plan!"

Lu Su advised: "The governor is angry! What strategy did the two of them use to make the governor so angry?

Zhou Yu said angrily, "Both of them have no intention of taking Nanjun, and they have to compete with me and deceive me, which makes me spend my strength here. The governor of Nanjun immediately defected to Nanye, so Nanye went straight to Nanyang. Zhuge Liang must also know about this, so he borrowed the soldiers of Nanjun to take Xiangyang. I hate that the two of them kept me in the dark.

Lu Su is also a smart person. He asked Zhou Yu not to really know the strategy, but to attract Zhou Yu to speak so as not to be angry. At this time, when he saw that Zhou Yu said something and calmed his anger, he asked Zhou Yu, "What should I do now?"

Zhou Yu was indeed guided by Lu Su and no longer got angry for no reason, but thought about strategies. After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yu said, "As soon as Xiangyang and Nanyang are lost, Nanjun is separated from Jiangdong and there is no border. I can't stay there even if I wait. Now that there is no Cao's army in Jingzhou, we can only return to the army to the north and fight with Cao's army for the land of Xuzhou. As soon as Cao Cao died, Xuzhou was at his fingertips.

Lu Su sighed in his heart when he heard the words. How could he not know that Nanjun had become an enclave for Jiangdong and was useless. However, what really scares Lu Su is that the current situation is really developing according to Nanye's strategic layout. Nan Ye proposed that Liu Bei attack Xiangyang and Zhou Yu attack Xuzhou before Zhou Yu attacked Nanjun, but Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang did not listen at that time. Unexpectedly, things finally developed to this point. If there is any difference, it is that Zhou Yu forcibly attacked Nan County, and Zhuge Liang somehow accepted Nan Ye's suggestion, and as a result, he got the help of Nan Ye to take Xiangyang.

Although Zhou Yu was very angry by Nan Ye and Zhuge Liang, he did not turn against him and desperately attacked Nan Ye and Liu Bei. If you can sit in the position of governor, how can Zhou Yu be a person who ignores the overall situation? After the decision, Zhou Yu did not delay and directly ordered the troops to enter Xuzhou.

Zhang Liao and Jia Xu in the south county city saw that Zhou Yu retreated without delay. They left Lu Xun and Wei Yan to guard Nan County. At the same time, they ordered the soldiers and horses of the governor of Jingzhou, the governor of Lu Xun, and the rest continued to lead troops north to Nanyang to meet Nanye.

In Nanyang Taishou Mansion, Nanye and the generals gathered together. On the left hand side are counselors Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Zhuge Jin, and on the right hand side are military generals Dianwei, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and others. At this time, everyone is discussing the military march.

Pang Tong said, "Once Cao Cao dies, the army will be in turmoil. The national division can take this opportunity to lead troops directly to Xu Chang to save the emperor. The big deal is settled."

Jia Xu said: "Cao Cao's hostage to occupy the land of eight prefectures was determined by the national division, which is fundamentally the strength of the national division. Since General Ma was killed by Cao Cao and the land where horses were produced in Xiliang was obtained by Cao Cao, there has been a shortage of war horses in the army. According to my opinion, I should attack Sili and enter Xiliang. First, you can get two cities, second, you can get the land of horses in Xiliang, and third, you can trade with the countries in the Western Regions.

Zhuge Jin said: "When the national division raised the army, it had contacted the Northern Dart Bureau and Qianzhuang. Now Cao Cao's local bodyguard Bureau and Qianzhuang have been closed and transferred, which made the people panic. When Cao's army was worried about internal and external troubles, many soldiers could be divided into soldiers, and there was no need to stick to the ground. In addition, my younger brother Kong Ming has the talent of Guan Zhong and Le Yi, and the national teacher must be guarded. You can divide an army into Yuzhou and stop Liu Xuande's road northward.

Nan Ye listened to the three military divisions express their own opinions and nodded repeatedly, and what these three people said was not unreasonable. Nan Ye also knew that this was the best opportunity to send troops to the north. If enough time allowed, Nan Ye couldn't wait to take Cao Cao's eight states, and his generals estimated that he would do the same. However, this wish is ultimately unrealistic. Whether it is Cao Cao's death or the withdrawal of the bodyguard bureau and Qianzhuang, it is only a momentary shock. It's not too late to take this opportunity to win a state, but it is impossible to take all eight states.

Among the three plans, Nanye is most optimistic about Jia Xu's plan. Luoyang in the east and Nanye in Chang'an in the west don't care. Xiliang's horse Nanye can still be bought as long as it costs a lot of money. What moved Nanye most was the trade with the countries in the Western Regions. The Maritime Silk Road brought the prosperity of Jiaozhou and made Nanye the richest person in the world. If the land Silk Road is controlled, Nanye's strength will be further improved.

Another advantage of attacking Sili and Xiliang is that Si Li's land was sparsely populated after the chaos of Dong Zhuo and Li, while Xiliang was once Ma Teng's territory was occupied by Cao Cao, and Ma Chao still had influence in the local area. Attacking these two places will not waste too many troops, and Nanye can also divide troops to fight against Yuzhou. But if you attack Xu Chang, Nan Ye must go all out. Who let Xu Chang be Cao Cao's base camp? If a place between Xuchang and Sanzhou let Nanye choose, Nanye will naturally choose the latter. As for Nan Ye, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he really didn't want it. The charge of abolishing the emperor should be left to Cao Pi.

As soon as Nan Ye wanted to say that he supported Jia Xu and Zhuge Jin's plan, a mage's personal guard came to report: "Uncle Liu sent the military master Kong Ming to reward the national teacher with a gift."
