    "Lord, if Liu Bei wins Yizhou, it will indeed be a thorn in his side, but now we can take advantage of it!" Chen Qun thought for a while, "Liu Bei often flaunts himself by reviving the Han Dynasty. If His Majesty issues a revolt,  How could he not respond?"

    "My lord, Chang Wen is right, Liu Zhang is unwilling to send troops, but if we send people to Yizhou, knowing how powerful Xiao Yu is, and Liu Bei can help, Liu Zhang will definitely send troops!" Cheng Yu said.

    Cao Cao thought for a while and looked at Jia Xu, "What do Wen He think?"

    "My lord, I think this plan is feasible!" Jia Xu also nodded.

    "Then when can we send troops?"

    ¡°Next spring!¡±

    "Next year?" Cao Cao frowned, "I heard that Liu Cong is recruiting troops. If we wait until next year, his troops will reach 200,000."

    "Although Liu Cong's troops have reached 200,000, he has many places to defend, and the newly recruited soldiers and horses are not very powerful. If we form an alliance with Liu Zhang and Sun Quan, what we will be fighting for then is absolute strength.  , so be sure to be well prepared!¡±

    "Does Wen He have a specific plan?"

    "My lord, please let your majesty issue an edict first to enumerate Liu Cong's rebellious actions and order all the princes in the world to fight against them, so as to achieve great justice! Then send envoys to Jiangdong and Yizhou to discuss the alliance, and at the same time recruit troops and gather grass.  Gather food and wait until next spring to send out seven troops to attack Liu Cong!"

    "Seven ways to send troops?" Cao Cao was a little confused, "Which seven ways?"

    "On the first route, the lord personally led the troops out of Jizhou and attacked Sishui Pass! On the second route, under the command of Xu Huang, troops went out of Bingzhou to attack Hongnong, intimidating Mengjin and Xiaopingjin Ferry! On the third route, under the command of Zhang Liao, he crossed the  Pass through Baima and Yanjin and attack Yuzhou!"

    "What about the other four routes?"

    These three approaches are easy to think of, and Cao Cao has been thinking about them.

    "The fourth route is to ask Sun Quan from Jiangdong to send troops to attack Chaisang!"

    "The last time Sun Quan sent troops from four directions at the same time, Jingzhou was empty. As a result, he lost his troops and Chai Sang. I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts to send troops this time!" Cao Cao was very disappointed with Sun Quan.

    "My lord, Sun Quan may not have the confidence to attack Jingzhou, but Chaisang is different!" A smile appeared on Jia Xu's face, "Chaisang's guard Gan Ning was a Jinfan thief, and all 15,000 naval troops in Jingzhou are stationed there.  There, they are still building warships and expanding their army. Going down the river from Chaisang, you can quickly reach Yuzhang, Lujiang, Jianye, and even Wujun, which makes Sun Quan sleepless and uneasy. When Liu Cong is facing enemies on all sides  , how could Sun Quan give up such an opportunity?"

    "My lord, what Wen He said makes sense. At this time and at this time, in this case, Sun Quan will definitely send troops!" Cheng Yu also agreed with Jia Xu's opinion.

    "What about the fifth route?"

    "On the fifth route, let Liu Zhang appoint Ma Chao as commander and attack Yinping!"

    "You want Ma Chao to be your commander?"

    "Ma Chao's attachment to Liu Zhang is just a temporary measure. He always wants to recapture Xiliang. Xiliang is of no importance to Liu Zhang. Therefore, as long as we send people to lobby, Liu Zhang will definitely agree!"

    "Where's the sixth route?"

    "Liu Bei is the commander-in-chief, and his troops march out of the Xiegu Valley to threaten Chang'an!"

    "Liu Bei is in Nanzhong, how could Liu Zhang agree?"

    "As long as Zhuge Liang goes to Chengdu, we will be able to convince Liu Zhang!" Jia Xu paused for a moment, "Liu Zhang wants to kill people with a borrowed knife, and Liu Bei wants to fish in troubled waters, so each gets what he needs. We just need to make Guanzhong Road a mess!"

    "The seventh route is for Liu Zhang to leave Baidi City and Kuiguan along the waterway and go straight to Jiangling?" Cao Cao asked.

    "It is true to ask Liu Zhang to send troops, but not to Jiangling, but to send troops out of Bajun to attack Shangyong!"

    "Attack Shangyong?"

    "Yizhou's navy has always been very weak, and there are no outstanding navy generals. Liu Zhang may not dare to send troops easily. Yan Yan, the governor of Bajun, is a veteran general with both wisdom and courage. With him as commander, he will definitely be able to defeat Guo Huai.  Seize Shangyong and threaten Xiangyang!"

    "Guo Huai?" When he mentioned Guo Huai, Cao Cao's face darkened. He had suffered too many losses in the years of fighting with Liu Cong, and many of them were unacceptable to him. Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Man Chong, Yu Jin,  Xue Ti, Zhao Yan and other good generals died in battle, and Guo Huai, Wang Ping, Hao Zhao, Zhu Ling, Zhong Yao, Zhang Xiu and others surrendered.  Although Cao Cao was not angry on the surface for these people who surrendered, because they were all forced to do so, with no food and reinforcements inside and no reinforcements outside, he did hate them very much in his heart.

    "My lord, Wen He's plan is very clever. Even if it doesn't give full effect, it can still cause Liu Cong huge losses.", so that he can no longer threaten us in the future!  Cheng Yu said.

    "Okay!" Cao Cao nodded, "Zhongda, you are responsible for sending envoys to Jiangdong and Yizhou to promote the alliance!"

    "No!"

    "Chang Wen, you are responsible for asking His Majesty for an imperial edict, which will be included in Liu Cong's crime. He will be classified as treason, and Chen Lin will be asked to write a denunciation article to spread the order to the world!"

    "No!"

    "Zhongde, the preparations for food, grass, weapons and armor must be carried out as quickly as possible to ensure the cost of a 150,000-strong army in the spring of next year!"

    "No!"

    "Wen He immediately ordered Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Li Dian, Le Jin and others to step up the training of soldiers, and asked Cao Zhen, Cao Hong, Xia Houru and others to recruit 50,000 new soldiers and step up training. Although the combat strength will not be reduced in a few months,  It¡¯s a lot better, but it gives them the ability to hold on to the city!¡±

    "No!"

    Cao Cao prepared nervously, and the war preparations in Liu Cong's territory were also in full swing.

    In less than two months, the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the major corps have been assembled. Of course, this is still under the condition that the conditions for serving as soldiers are relatively high. If the requirements are the same as those of other princes, I am afraid it can be completed in a month.

    ????????????All soldiers selected are between eighteen and thirty years old, and are physically strong.  Some of those who failed to be selected strengthened their training after returning, striving to be selected next time.

    During this period, there was another happy event in Luoyang, that is, Sun Shangxiang, the concubine of the King of Han, gave birth to a princess.

    Sun Shangxiang was a little disappointed when she gave birth to a girl, but Liu Cong was very happy and named his daughter Liu Yun, which means clouds in the sky.  Her nickname is Tiantian because her mother's nickname is Xiang'er.

    Since Liu Cong attaches great importance to him, how can others dare to despise him?  Princess Tiantian's status was suddenly raised, which made Sun Shangxiang's unhappiness quickly disappear.

    Liu Cong is aware of the movements of Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Liu Zhang and others, but he is not worried. Although the new recruits have less training time, there should be no problem if they stick to the city.

    The training methods of all major corps are basically the same, and the formation of soldiers is also the same, so that during combat, defense can be appropriately changed according to the enemy's equipment.

    Each corps recruits and veterans are mixed together. During the training process, the veterans lead the recruits so that they can quickly adapt to the war.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
