If you can't get rid of it, you will be in big trouble sooner or later, and you can't go all out to go south.
At this moment, Cao Ang's eyes were like a torch, and he reacted immediately, and then he sent troops to Hanzhong very decisively.
This is definitely a very correct action, Hanzhong is the key to the next game with the South.
But Cao Cao also put himself in his shoes and thought about it. He felt that even if he were replaced by himself, he might not be sure to capture Hanzhong.
Although Zhang Lu in Hanzhong is not a master of great talent and strategy, he still has tens of thousands of troops in his hands. As long as he relies on geographical advantages and dangerous passes to resist for a period of time, Liu Biao and Liu Zhang will 100% send troops to help, and even the warlords in Guanzhong will not sit idly by.
At this time, Sun Ce can send troops to Huainan, threatening Cao's rear.
It is very difficult to win this battle.
Xun Yu comforted him and said, "Duke Wei, don't worry, although Hanzhong is strong, but this time Zixiu came out personally, the veteran thought there must be no problem."
"I hope so!"
At this time, suddenly a subordinate came to report.
"Duke Wei, good news from the General!"
"Zhang Lu of Hanzhong surrendered to the imperial court, and our army captured Hanzhong without bloodshed. The general sent Zhao Yun to attack the Guanzhong area, and now he has arrived in Chang'an!"
"what?"
Cao Cao and Gou were dumbfounded.
Is there such a coincidence!
Is it so fast!
Hanzhong was taken down so quickly?
Just kidding!
Xun Yu: "How is it possible? What happened!"
Cao Cao was also puzzled: "Zhang Lu surrendered without fighting?"
No way, it's illogical!
If Zhang Lu was so useless, how could he have rebelled against Liu Yan, and then separated himself from the territory for so many years?
Cao Cao was shocked: "What did you say just now, say it again!"
The little soldier was so frightened that he trembled all over and hurriedly continued to report: "The general has a good news, and the soldiers captured Hanzhong without bloodshed!"
Cao Cao's eyes widened: "What about the last sentence?"
"Our army took advantage of the trend and entered Guanzhong, and now it has arrived in Chang'an!"
Cao Cao and Xun Yu looked at each other, seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.
Cao Ang not only took Hanzhong, but also entered Guanzhong, and he had already arrived in Chang'an.
At the same time in the south, Sun Ce is preparing to meet with Liu Biao and Liu Zhang. The three parties will formally make an oath to work together to resist Cao Wei.
At this moment, the news of Zhang Lu's surrender to Cao Ang reached Sun Ce's ears like a bolt from the blue.
How could this be?
How could Cao Ang move so fast?
What was Zhang Lu thinking?
Liu Zhang and Liu Biao, these two idiots, why didn't they intervene!
Sun Ce and the others felt their scalp tingle for a while, and at the same time they felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Hanzhong is too critical. If they can capture or fight for Hanzhong, they can take the absolute initiative in the war against Cao.
Cao Ang captured Hanzhong and sent the top general Guan Yu to guard it. Generals Liu Zhang and Liu Biao were always under Cao Jun's vanguard, thus falling into a passive defensive situation.
Now, the initiative has fallen into the hands of Cao Ang, and it will be very difficult to deal with Cao Wei next.
Although it was extremely difficult, Sun Ce and the others had no intention of shrinking back.
Before the meeting between Sun Ce and Liu Zhang, they called their confidants one by one and held a very simple internal meeting.
Sun Ce's core confidants and the backbone of their army include Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su.
As the backbone of Sun Ce's confidants, these three people took on a lot of affairs and solved a lot of troubles for Sun Ce.
Of course, these three people all have their own characteristics and the way they deal with things after encountering them.
That Zhou Yu was the core of Sun Ce's army, the think tank and military commander of the entire army.
And Na Lusu is easy-going, intelligent, wise and foolish, very suitable for diplomacy.
As for that Sun Quan, his management ability is very powerful, he was formed at a young age, and he is now Sun Ce's right-hand man.
After Sun Ce called these three confidantes over, he asked them, "Cao Wei's current rapid expansion of power has seriously threatened us. What should we do to deal with this problem?"
After hearing Sun Ce's words, Zhou Yu frowned thoughtfully and said, "The current situation is indeed not optimistic, but it is not invulnerable!"
Zhou Yu, as Sun Ce's military adviser, felt firm in everyone's hearts when he said this.
Sun Ce was also very excited when he heard the words, and then asked Nian Zhouyu, "Oh? I don't know what good strategy Gongjin has?"
Afterwards, Zhou Yu said directly: "Although Cao Wei has taken the initiative now, they have exposed a lot of weaknesses correspondingly, especially because they have expanded so many places with limited troops. If you take too many steps, the corresponding defense line will be short of troops!"
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it!
Cao Wei is now too strong on this stage of history, and is bound to be attacked by other forces.
The big tree attracts the wind, which is exactly what it means.
After Sun Ce heard Zhou Yu's words, he also admired him very much.
What Zhou Yu said this week is very reasonable, and Sun Ce also very much agrees with this truth.
Afterwards, Sun Ce also opened his mouth and said: "It is indeed the case. It seems that Cao Wei will take Xuzhou, Huainan, Hebei, and Hanzhong in one go, but this Cao Wei will also suffer from Yizhou, Jingzhou, and us. Jiangdong's confrontation!"
"Cao Wei dragged that line of defense so long, and his defensive strength will definitely weaken a lot. This is an opportunity we can take advantage of. It can be seen that Cao Wei's line of defense does not seem to be invulnerable!"
When everyone heard the words, they nodded, expressing their agreement with what Zhou Yu and Sun Ce said.
