Before Li Jie could finish what he said, Sun Quan felt a slight chill on his back.

He naturally understood what Li Jie meant.

That is to say, if Li Jie does not return to Chang'an within the month, Liu Adou will join forces with Cao Wei. What will he do with Cao Wei?

Do you still need to think about it?

Of course, we must unite with Wei to destroy Wu.

Niang Xipi——

A single big Han has already made it difficult for Wei and Wu to resist. If Han and Wei join forces to attack Da Wu, will Da Wu still be able to resist it?

Oh, no——

At this time, the entire hall was eerily quiet.

The general who was rolling up his arms just now snorted but also put down his sleeves.

Sun Quan was very angry, Liu Adou was not a human being.

This is too much to deceive.

If there is a monarch like this, if he cannot unite with me, he will unite with my opponents to attack me?

Shameless, shameless.

Sun Quan secretly cursed Liu Chan thousands of times in his heart, but he also knew very well that the big man at the moment really didn't dare to offend him. If he really pissed off Liu Chan, he could destroy Wu even without joining forces with Cao Wei.

In fact, Sun Quan also thought about sending envoys to Luoyang now to join forces with Cao Wei to attack the Han Dynasty.

But——

Cao Wei just suffered a major defeat in Jinzhong last year, and Cao Rui was captured alive by the Han army. At this time, Cao Wei may not have the courage to attack the Han again.

Cao Wei did not dare to attack the Han Dynasty, but Liu Adou could send troops to Soochow at any time if he wanted to.

Oh, no——

Sun Quan is Sun Quan. After all, he is the oldest among the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms, and he is almost sixty years old now.

As the saying goes, scheming.

......

July 28.

Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.

Xuanshi Hall.

"Hahaha!"

Liu Chan burst out laughing, and then said to Zeng Shu: "Ai Qing is really a great talent, let Cao Rui and Sun Quan fight each other...hahaha!"

Zeng Shu did not dare to take credit. He said: "The humble ministers are terrified. It all depends on your majesty's planning."

Liu Chan was very satisfied. That day in prison, Liu Chan asked Zeng Shu, what he said was that the Han Dynasty was suffering from internal and external troubles. When Liu Chan asked him about the external troubles, Zeng Shu pointed out that the Han Dynasty's front line was too long. If the Wei and Wu coalition forces attacked, the Han Dynasty would not be defeated by the two sides. The country will be destroyed, but it will also slow down the development process of the Han Dynasty.

So when Liu Chan asked him how to prevent it, Zeng Shu thought that it would be necessary to prevent Wei and Wu from uniting, and it would be best to let them fight again.

As long as Soochow, Cao and Wei do not unite, the Han Dynasty will naturally not be afraid of the front being too long.

After some thinking, Liu Chan came up with such a method.

At the same time, two groups of envoys were sent to Luoyang to tell Cao Rui that we are about to attack Wu. We hope that your country will send troops to help, and then the world of Soochow will be divided equally.

He also gave a specific plan for sending troops, that is, the Han army would move from south to north, sending troops from Jiaozhou and Guilin counties, and Cao Wei would cross the Yangtze River and attack Wuchang.

Of course, Liu Chan knew that Cao Rui would definitely choose to sit back and watch the fight between the tigers and the tigers. When the battle between Han and Wu became fierce, or when both sides were hurt, the Wei army would come back to reap the benefits.

Cao Wei remains neutral.

Well, if Cao Wei can really maintain neutrality and Liu Chan really wants to attack Wu, given the current strength comparison between Han and Wu, as long as Cao Wei doesn't hold back, it is really possible for the Han army to destroy Soochow.

After all, the strongest force in Soochow is the navy, but the current border between the Han and Soochow is not just the Yangtze River. If the Han sends troops from Jiaogui, it will still be difficult for Soochow to stop it. Maybe it won't take long before the Han army We can march to Wuchang City.

Soochow Navy?

The Han army did not pass through waterways. No matter how strong the Soochow navy was, what could it do?

But——

Once the war between Han and Wu begins, Cao Rui will never choose to sit on the sidelines. As long as the Han army continues to mobilize troops to Soochow, Cao Rui may take the opportunity to send troops to merge with the state and Guanzhong. Of course, he may also send troops to defeat Wu.

However, Liu Chan believed that if that time came, Cao Rui would choose to conquer the Han.

Why?

Because if you want to curb the development of the Han Dynasty, the world must continue to maintain the three kingdoms. If Soochow is attacked and destroyed by the Han Dynasty, the next one to be attacked and destroyed will naturally be Cao Wei.

Cao Rui is certainly not stupid.

However, Liu Chan has never thought about launching a war at all. Whether it is against Soochow or Cao Wei, the Han Dynasty now needs time to recuperate and develop.

The purpose of sending envoys to Wei is to tell Cao Rui that we are preparing to conquer Wu. Are you interested in getting a share of the pie? If so, then send troops.

Of course, if you are not interested, then just watch my Han annex Jiangnan and destroy Soochow. The strength of my Han will make it even more difficult for you, Cao Wei, to shake.

Regarding Cao Wei, Liu Chan only needs them to remain neutral.

But when it came to Sun Quan, Liu Chan chose to use intimidation.

The routine is the same. Our two countries will go together to destroy Wei, and Soochow must follow my big Han to destroy Wei, otherwise I will immediately join forces with Cao Wei to destroy you.

Liu Chan predicted that Sun Quan would not dare to offend the Han Dynasty, and of course he would not dare to offend Cao Wei.

But if he was asked to choose between the two, he could only choose the big man.

Li Jie smiled and said: "Sun Quan said that they are willing to work with my great Han Dynasty to jointly attack Cao Wei, and then divide the world of Cao Wei equally."

"Hahaha!" Liu Chan laughed loudly.

"Your Majesty!" Zeng Shu asked, "We can send people into Wu quickly, so that Soochow will take the lead in sending troops to contain the Wei army, and our army will go out from the east of Tongguan. Because our army is going to attack Luoyang, the capital of Cao Wei, so I hope Soochow will be the first to attack." Contain the Wei army so that our army can quickly attack Luoyang."

"Yeah!" Liu Chan nodded with satisfaction and said, "This plan is very good. I don't think Sun Quan will be suspicious..." Liu Chan paused and then said, "This time we have to let Wei and Wu fight. No."

A few days later.

The Han Dynasty sent envoys to enter the Wuchang Palace.

The method used was still intimidation. The Han envoy said that in order to ensure that Soochow was sincerely attached to the Han Dynasty, at the same time, the Han army wanted to attack Luoyang, the capital of Cao Wei.

Therefore, this attack requires Soochow to send troops first, so that Cao Wei thinks that only Soochow will attack Cao Wei. When Cao Wei starts to dispatch troops, the Han generals will leave Tongguan and attack Luoyang, the capital of Cao Wei.

If Soochow refuses, the Han army will immediately attack Wu.

Although Sun Quan was hesitant, after some analysis by the Han envoy, he still threatened.

Sun Quan agreed.

Because he agreed with the Han envoy's analysis, he was also afraid that the Han army would attack Wu.

Also, even if Soochow Wu restrains some of Cao Wei's troops, there may be a certain amount of pressure.

But when the Han army sends troops to Tongguan, Cao Wei will definitely withdraw a large area of ​​troops back to Luoyang to rescue the capital. At that time, the pressure on Soochow will be relieved immediately.

November 16, the first year of the Han Dynasty (AD 240).

Luoyang Imperial Palace.

Cao Rui glanced at the report and sneered: "This old boy Sun Quan is very courageous. I haven't raised an army to attack him yet, but he comes to attack me first?"

"Your Majesty!" General Sima Yi also said: "Sun Quan is nothing to be afraid of. Our city, Fancheng, has high walls and deep walls. How can it be captured by those rabble from Soochow?"

"Yes!" Cao Rui nodded. Naturally, he was not worried about Soochow. After all, Soochow had been fighting for so many years. Although Soochow made several Northern Expeditions, it did not gain any advantage except for occupying Jiangxia.

Their battle to capture Jiangxia was also because the main force of the Wei army was restrained by the Han army.

However, since the Wu army has begun to attack the city, Cao Rui certainly will not ignore it.

"General!" Cao Rui said: "I will appoint you as the general governor, lead 30,000 soldiers from Jingxiang, and go immediately to rescue Fancheng."

"No!" Sima Yi responded.

Then, Cao Rui said again: "Cao Shuang!"

Grand Sima Cao Shuang came out and said: "The humble minister is here."

Cao Shuang is the son of the former general Cao Zhen. He is one of the generals who can lead troops in the Wei Dynasty. The other generals are now stationed at the border.

After all, Cao Shuang was also a descendant of the clan. After Cao Rui ascended the throne again, he worshiped him as Grand Sima.

"I have appointed you as the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Conquest. I will immediately lead 50,000 troops to aid Hefei."

Cao Shuang responded: "I obey the order!"

Soochow suddenly sent troops to the Northern Expedition, and they went northward in two ways. One was led by General Lu Xun with an army of 50,000 to attack Fancheng, and the other was led by Sun Quan himself.

No surprises.

One hundred thousand troops arrived at Hefei New City.
