The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 221

Chen Ziming didn't even have time to talk to Cai Yan, he was busy all the time, he had to price all the technologies that could be sold, and then sell them to those merchants and aristocratic families, only in this way could he gather more in the shortest time money.

In the evening, Liu Bei asked Chen Ziming to have dinner together. As for Liu Bei's wife, Mi Zhu's younger sister, Mi Zhen, obediently became her official wife. Liu Bei never let her intervene in government affairs, and Mi Zhen was not even allowed to come to the front hall under normal circumstances.

"Brother, now that Cao Cao's strength has greatly increased, he may have become our great enemy." After dinner, Chen Ziming chatted with Liu Bei. After Chen Gong left, Chen Ziming had to always be by Liu Bei's side and advise Liu Bei.

Cao Cao took advantage of Liu Bei's full-scale defense of Youzhou, sent troops to Yuzhou, and easily took Yuzhou in his hands. Yuan Shu, the original owner of Yuzhou, broke through the siege with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and fled back to Nanyang County, Jingzhou.

"Yes, thanks to Yuan Zhi's plan, if Yuan Zhi hadn't ordered people to lead Luoyang Lv Bu's troops into Nanyang, and fight Cao Cao's troops into Nanyang, both sides would suffer. Let Yuan Shu take the opportunity to take back Nanyang. The strength will double." Liu Bei didn't say anything big, but Nanyang County is the largest county in the Han Dynasty. It covers a large area and has a population of more than 200 million, which can completely resist the land of a state.

"Oh, helpless." Liu Bei sighed and frowned when he thought of Cao Cao today, "Cao Mengde's climate has been established, he sits on the land of two states, has hundreds of thousands of mercenaries, countless generals, and many advisers. Is there a countermeasure?"

"Although Cao Cao easily defeated Yuan Shu and took Yuzhou, his soldiers and horses fought against Lv Bu's army in Nanyang and suffered heavy losses.

Nanyang is the place where Yuan Shu started, with deep roots and the support of many clans. It will not be easy for Cao Cao to conquer Nanyang.

Now that Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are deadly enemies, and also with Lu Bu, we will hoard our troops in Nancheng of Yanzhou, Xiapi of Xuzhou, Pengjun and other places. In this way, Cao Cao will be enemies on all sides.

Although Liu Biao in Jingzhou has no enterprising spirit, he holds a hundred thousand soldiers in his hands and has won the hearts of the people of Jingzhou. The road soldiers and horses are restrained.

Now there is only one way out, before it can break through the blockade of all parties. "Chen Ziming found that Cao Cao's behavior is really not optimistic now. There are powerful enemies on all sides, and there are also mortal enemies such as Liu Bei and Yuan Shu. If he has the opportunity, he will definitely kill Cao Cao.

"Did Ziming say, Jizhou?" Liu Bei asked Chen Ziming thoughtfully.

"That's right, as my elder brother said, Jizhou is the only way out for Cao Cao. Yuan Shao has gone, and Yuan Shang is an incompetent generation. Although he has many great talents to assist him, it is difficult for him to control the overall situation.

If the three Yuan brothers work together, neither we nor Cao Cao can easily capture Jizhou. It is a pity that Yuan Shao is so stubborn that he abandons the elders to support the younger. The young and mediocre can hardly control the overall situation in Hebei.

Over time, the eldest son, Yuan Tan, will surely gather the crowd to stand on his own, and Jizhou and Bingzhou will surely disintegrate, and their strength will drop greatly.At that time, the weak side will definitely not be reconciled to defeat.

Then he would think of asking for help from others. Whether Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang was at a disadvantage, Cao Cao would be the first to come to his mind. With one of these two for help, Cao Cao's army could justifiably enter Hebei.

With Cao Cao's ability, his army entered Hebei, and neither Jizhou nor Bingzhou could stop his elite army.At that time, Cao Cao used the land of the four states and had millions of mercenaries, and no one in the world could stop him. "

Chen Ziming said the worst situation. After all, if the Yuan brothers wanted to find foreign aid, they would definitely choose Cao Cao, and Cao Cao would also send people to carry out activities.

As for Liu Bei, everyone knows that the Yuan brothers will not and dare not come to Liu Bei. Liu Bei is their father-killing enemy.

"Then what to do, may we need to mobilize the army, Chen Bing Xuzhou and other places, so that Cao Mengde has no intention of going north?" Liu Bei didn't want such a thing to happen, otherwise Liu Bei's life in the future would be sad.

Once Cao Cao really occupies Jizhou and Bingzhou, then Cao Cao can block Liu Bei on the west coast. It is difficult to have Sun Ce in Yangzhou. The north is a barren grassland. It is too difficult to develop overseas places, unless you find a big state like Fuzhou and immigrate there.

"It's difficult. If the Yuan brothers welcome you, Cao Cao only needs to mobilize [-] troops to easily occupy Ji and the two states. Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Sun Ce of Yangzhou will not easily send troops to deal with Cao Cao. Yuan Shu's incompetent generation, Cao Cao only needs to Sending [-] troops can keep Yuan Shu out of Yuzhou, and the remaining [-] troops are enough to stop our army from attacking."

Chen Ziming didn't think that this would be able to contain Cao Cao. The current Cao Cao is not the same as Cao Cao a few years ago. According to secret reports from the secret guards, when Cao Cao occupied Yuzhou, he recruited nearly 20 troops from Yuan Shu. The state recruited 20 young and strong, and trained them while farming. Now Cao Cao has nearly 60 soldiers and horses.

In particular, the clans in Yanzhou and Yuzhou fully supported Cao Cao, asking for money for money, food for food, and talents for talents.After Cao Cao occupied Yuzhou, he got a large number of talents to join him. Whether he was a general or a counselor, he was no worse than the Liu Bei Group.

"What should I do? Does Ziming have a way to deal with it?" In terms of strategy, Liu Bei's ability is really limited, and it is much worse than Cao Cao's.

"Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are very powerful, and there are many capable people around them to support, especially Yuan Shang, who was appointed by Yuan Shao to succeed him. The great talents Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Ju Shou, etc. are all conspired by them. Yuan Tan is probably not his enemy.

However, both of them are strong, and there are many families behind them. Cao Cao will definitely choose Yuan Tan, who is weak, and secretly support Yuan Tan. When the time is right, Cao Cao's army can enter Jizhou and other places. "Chen Ziming analyzed the strength of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and determined that Cao Cao would choose Yuan Tan to support.

"I mean Ziming, I secretly support Yuan Shang, but I have a vengeance against him for killing his father, and will he accept my assistance?" Liu Bei is not an idiot either, Yuan Shang still has other options, and the possibility of choosing Liu Bei is very small.

"Hehe, whether it's us or Cao Cao, we can't hide the plan of Jizhou from Tian Feng and the others. Yuan Shang is surrounded by great talents, and will let us take advantage of it. Yuan Shang can't do it." Chen Ziming shook Shaking his head, he had experienced Tian Feng's abnormality. If Tian Feng hadn't come out to sabotage, maybe now that Chen Ziming had led an army into Jizhou, what would happen to Yuan Shang, Cao Cao and others.
