With such an unusual operation, even a fool can see that there must be something fishy in it. I am afraid that Cao Weizhi is not in Jiangxia, and Soochow is even less likely to really attack Shangyong. They may have formed some kind of tacit understanding, or some kind of deal.

.

Before the Battle of Guanzhong, Han and Wu were weak and Cao and Wei were strong.

If Han and Wu want to survive, they can only deal with Cao and Wei together.

After last year's Battle of Guanzhong, the Han Dynasty is no longer the weakest party among the Three Kingdoms.

Cao Wei was afraid that the Han Dynasty would become bigger, so how could Soochow Wu allow the Han Dynasty to become stronger?

Therefore, there is no need to think about it. Cao Wei mobilized troops with the intention of retaking Guanzhong. It is inevitable that Han and Wei will restart the battle of Guanzhong. At this time, Soochow, as a third party, will naturally choose to attack the opponent that is most beneficial to itself.

Should we help Han conquer Wei or help Wei conquer Han?

If we want to attack Wei, we can only continue to raise troops to attack Hefei, or send troops to Jiangxia to attack Wanluo.

But Sun Quan knew very well that Soochow's current strength was simply unable to shake Cao Wei.

Compared with attacking the Wei Dynasty, it is not as effective as attacking the Han Dynasty.

Because Zhuge Liang finally captured Guanzhong, he will definitely try his best to defend Guanzhong, and Han and Wei will launch an unprecedented war in Guanzhong.

In terms of strength, Cao Wei's army is stronger than the Han army. If Zhuge Liang wants to defend Guanzhong, he will inevitably mobilize the entire country's troops into Guanzhong to resist Cao Wei.

This is the opportunity.

Soochow took advantage of the fierce fighting between Han and Wei in Guanzhong to seize the Han's Yizhou in one fell swoop. If Cao Wei finally destroyed the Han, Soochow could also rule across the river with Cao Wei.

This is Sun Quan’s wishful thinking.

Of course, he hoped that Zhuge Liang could withstand Cao Wei in Guanzhong and still maintain the three-legged situation. However, after this battle, the Han occupied the two states of Yongliang and continued to contain Cao Wei, while Soochow added Yizhou, a wealthy land.

If this is true, after this battle, the strength of Soochow will be greatly enhanced, while the strength of Han and Wei will be weakened.

Zhuge Liang naturally saw Sun Quan's plan clearly.

Otherwise, Lu Xun had been stationed in Jiangxia for half a year, but he did not take the lead in marching into Shuzhong. Sima Yi of Cao Wei also frequently mobilized troops in Wancheng, but he had no intention of marching.

At the beginning of this year, Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, suddenly announced that he would soon move the capital to Chang'an.

In early February, the Han Dynasty began to move its capital.

In early March, Sima Yi sent troops to Shangyong, and Lu Xun then sent troops to Zigui.

Yang Yi originally thought that the war was about to break out, and the capital relocation should be stopped immediately and fully prepared for the upcoming war, but the prime minister had no intention of stopping the capital relocation.
