When Zhuge Liang burned thousands of Cao Cao's troops in Xinye and retreated to Xiangyang with his men, Liu Biao actually died of illness.
Subsequently, Liu Biao's subordinates, led by Cai Mao, supported Liu Biao's second son Liu Cong to succeed Liu Biao. He also sent people to discuss surrender with Cao Cao.
Yi Ji immediately brought this information to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei had to change the direction of retreat midway and retreat to Jiangxia.
Cao Cao's army followed. Because Liu Bei was just a partial force, he did not send out tiger and leopard cavalry to chase him like in history. In order to prevent the people in Xiangyang from changing his mind, he immediately led his army to Xiangyang and took over Xiangyang. In this way, he captured Xiangyang without any bloodshed. Won most of Jingzhou.
However, the joy of capturing Jingzhou did not last long when news came back that Liu Zhe had sent troops to Hanzhong. This news was like a plate of cold water, extinguishing Cao Cao's joy in winning Jingzhou.
Before Cao Cao went south, he thought Liu Zhe had no time to take care of him, so he went south happily.
It turned out that Liu Zhe had deliberately pretended to show him everything. This conclusion made Cao Cao want to vomit blood. The location of Hanzhong was very important. Cao Cao knew that with Hanzhong, he could directly capture Yizhou.
It¡¯s just that Cao Cao didn¡¯t have the ability to capture Hanzhong, so he selectively ignored Hanzhong. At the same time, Cao Cao also hoped that Liu Zhe would forget the existence of Hanzhong.
However, Liu Zhe did not forget Hanzhong and took advantage of Cao Cao's southward march to capture Hanzhong.
Liu Zhe, who captured Hanzhong, increased his strength again.
And when Cao Cao went south, although he captured most of Jingzhou and his strength increased, the distance between him and Liu Zhe did not shorten.
¡°Headache, headache, really headache.
After Liu Bei retreated to Jiangxia, he promoted Liu Qi as the successor of Jingzhou, officially causing Jingzhou to fall into division.
Naturally, Cao Cao would not let Liu Bei continue to occupy Jiangxia and split Jingzhou.
He endured the headache and led his army eastward, preparing to annihilate Liu Bei and regain Jiangxia in one fell swoop.
When he arrived in Jiangling, he got another bad news. Liu Bei seemed to be joining forces with Sun Quan.
This news finally gave Cao Cao a headache and was unable to act. The army could only station in Jiangling and watch the changes.
Liu Bei's strength has been weakened a lot in the Battle of Xinye, and even if he can get Jiang Xia, it will be difficult to recover immediately.
Although Sun Quan is stronger than Liu Bei, he is not as good as Cao Cao.
But when the two of them join forces, it will be a big trouble.
Just when Cao Cao had not yet thought about how to solve the two troubles of Liu Bei and Sun Quan, the news came that Liu Zhe was looking for a son-in-law.
"Damn Liu Zhe, what exactly is he trying to do?"
After Cao Cao came to his senses, he greeted Liu Zhe again.
For Cao Cao, Liu Zhe is a huge trouble. Because of Liu Zhe's existence, Cao Cao's headaches become increasingly serious.
"Go, let Sima Yi and Yang Xiu come to see me." Cao Cao ordered.
Since going south, Sima Yi and Yang Xiu have performed better and better. Although they are still relatively naive in some aspects, in Cao Cao's view, they just have less experience. As long as they accumulate more experience, they can become better.
Therefore, after capturing Xiangyang, Cao Cao asked Jiang Ji to assist Cao Ang in handling various matters in Xiangyang, while he took Sima Yi and Yang Xiu together to prepare to attack Jiangxia.
Now, Cao Cao felt that his head was getting more and more painful and he could not concentrate on thinking, so he called the two people over to listen to their opinions.
Although it was a piece of information about recruiting a son-in-law, it concerned Liu Zhe, and Cao Cao did not dare to take it lightly.
There is no way, Liu Zhe is so powerful that Cao Cao has to guard against him.
Just like now, he just wants to go south to take revenge and occupy some territory, so as to close the gap in strength with Liu Zhe.
But Liu Zhe didn't give him a chance to get closer. He went south, and Liu Zhe also went north. He captured Jingzhou, and Liu Zhe also captured Hanzhong.
The status of Hanzhong is important, not much worse than that of Jingzhou.
Of course, the strength of Hanzhong cannot be compared with the strength of Jingzhou. If Cao Cao wins Jingzhou, his strength will definitely increase a lot. But Cao Cao couldn't be happy.
"Because he once again learned Liu Zhe's methods and actually deceived him and let him go south stupidly.
"If Cao Cao knew that Liu Zhe's goal was Hanzhong, he would never go south. He would rather not give up Jingzhou to contain Liu Zhe, so that he could not capture Hanzhong.
Liu Zhe, who won Hanzhong, can easily win in the futureStretching his hand into Yizhou, once Liu Zhe captures Yizhou, who else in the world can stop Liu Zhe?
Having captured Yizhou, Liu Zhe could easily send troops from Yizhou into Jingzhou, and then attack him from both fronts. How could Cao Cao have the strength to defend against Liu Zhe?
And not long after Liu Zhe returned to Youzhou, he had to tell the world that he was looking for a son-in-law?
Cao Cao did not think that the matter was as simple as it appeared on the surface. There must be some conspiracy.
Because he was afraid that the conspiracy was against him, Cao Cao did not dare to take it lightly.
After receiving Cao Cao's order, Sima Yi and Yang Xiu came one after another. The two of them didn't come together, and their relationship wasn't that good.
After the two people came in one after another, no one looked at each other. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
