Chapter Four hundred and forty-four The situation in the world is determined by three points.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, March has passed.
As the situation has become clearer today, after Li Chen conquered Eastern Wu, he occupied Xuzhou and Jiangdong, and has become one of the few warlords in the world.
The Central Plains War is still continuing. Under Yuan Shao's fierce attack, Yan King Gongsun Zan has retreated step by step. Now, even Gongsun Zan's old partner Liu Yu has turned to Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Zan has only one base camp left in Peiping.
After the defeat of Jieqiao, Gongsun Zan no longer had the capital to turn the tables. He built one tall buildings in Peking, named Yijinglou. Gongsun Zan seemed to be desperate. He hoarded 300,000 stones of food and grass in Yijinglou, and drank and had fun all day long.
After Liu Bei got Zhuge Liang, at Zhuge Liang's suggestion, he had abandoned Zhuo County and Beihai County, and his entire army advanced into the land of Bashu, and now he has occupied Hanzhong.
Obviously, Liu Zhang from Bashu is no match for Liu Bei, and it is only a matter of time before Liu Bei occupy the entire Bashu area.
Because of fear of Cao Cao, Ma Teng had withdrawn from the territory of Cao Cao that he had occupied before and retracted back to the land of Xiliang. Moreover, it can be imagined that once Cao Cao cleans up Yuan Shu, he would have to clean up Ma Teng.
Youzhou and Liangzhou were places for raising horses, and in ancient times, cavalry had the strongest combat power. Cao Cao sooner or later, making Liangzhou his own place for herding horses.
The Central Plains War is still going on, but the strongest force today is Li Chen, then Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao took all the land of Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao took down Gongsun Zan in Peking, which was a foregone conclusion. As for Ma Teng and Liu Bei, they were just surviving.
Although the land of Bashu is steep and is a wonderful place to protect yourself, it is also very difficult to fight outside.
Although Liu Bei took over Bashu, he had a place to settle down and develop, he also restricted himself.
But then again, so far, this place in Bashu should indeed be the most suitable place for Liu Bei to settle down.
Wei land, Xudu.
Wei Prince's Mansion.
"Ahem!"
"King of Wei, do you think we can dominate the world!" Guo Jia coughed hard and asked Cao Cao.
Hearing this, Cao Cao's hand trembled suddenly and he paused for a long time but couldn't speak.
The news that Li Chen had taken all the land of Jiangdong had completely spread. After hearing this news, Cao Cao was also shocked a little. Li Chen unified Jiangdong, which was not good news for Cao Cao.
Although Li Chen and Cao Cao are now considered allies, this allies are based on Cao Cao being isolated. Now, Li Chen has become the strongest prince in the world. When Cao Cao is forming an alliance with Li Chen, he is undoubtedly trying to get a fucked with the tiger.
"this......"
"It's not easy to unify the world!" Cao Cao sighed and said.
Facing Guo Jia, Cao Cao had nothing to brag about. Now, even Cao Cao, who had always been ambitious, was very uneasy now.
Now Li Chen has entered Xuzhou and retreated to defend Jiangdong, and has naturally become invincible. If the world is asked who is most likely to win the world, then it will undoubtedly be Li Chen.
Nowadays, Cao Cao is not as good as Li Chen in terms of territory, Cao Cao is not as good as Li Chen in terms of military strength, and Cao Cao is not as good as Li Chen in terms of capable ministers and generals under his command.
Since Cao Cao is not as good as Li Chen in these things, how can Cao Cao be confident of winning the world?
"King of Wei, we never expected that Li Chen's speed to Jiangdong is still above us!"
"Now, the situation in the world has changed, and we have to adapt to the situation. Otherwise, we will be unable to compete with Li Chen!" Guo Jia sighed and said.
Cao Cao has always listened to Guo Jia's words the most. Whenever Guo Jia has any strategy, Cao Cao has always followed everything.
"Yongxiao, what do you have to say in a blunt way!"
"With respect to filial piety, the Lone King never listened!" Cao Cao asked Guo Jia.
"King of Wei, we won't fight south of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. Let's fight Yuan Shao!" Guo Jia pointed to the map and said solemnly.
"What?"
"No more fight?" Cao Cao said in surprise.
They have now captured most of Yuan Shu's territory. Although Yuan Shu's territory is not large, it is very rich. Moreover, most of these relatively wealthy territory are located in the Huai River and south of the Yangtze River.
If according to Guo Jia, they gave up the territory south of the Huai River, then they would have been in vain before.
"King of Wei, only by giving up can one gain. Our army has no ships, and now we can fight Yuan Shu, because of the help of the Qin navy."
"Now the Qin army has freed up its hands. If we both turn against each other now, it will be easy for the Qin army to go south of the Huai River."
"Without ships and without naval forces, how can we defend this Jiangnan land? Once in a while, if Sun Ce in Jiangdong could stalemate with the Qin army, it would be fine for us to fight like this. Since Jiangdong is destroyed now, we have to change the battle strategy." Guo Jia said with a serious expression.
Cao Cao thought about it for three years, and then he spoke for a long time, "Fengxiao, let me tell you how to fight this battle."
Guo Jia came to the map, pointed to the map and said, "King of Wei, if the situation is clear today, it must be a situation that will divide the world into three parts."
"Now the strongest in the world is the King of Qin. The King of Qin owns Xuzhou and Jiangdong. Now if the King of Qin wants to plan for the world, there are two choices: one is to send troops from Jiangdong to fight south, take Huainan, Jingxiang, Changsha and other places. The second choice is to fight north from Xuzhou to attack Yuan Shao."
"King of Wei, if you are the King of Qin, where should you fight?"
After Guo Jia asked Cao Cao, he looked at Cao Cao with bright eyes. Among the princes in the world, Guo Jia thought that Cao Cao and Li Chen were the most similar personalities. If these two people were born with ordinary families, they would definitely be friends.
Cao Cao looked at the map and said without hesitation: "Try south. If I were Li Chen, I would definitely be fighting south."
The Qin army's naval army is now the only one in the world, and the Qin army is arrogant. Whether it is attacking, transporting grain or troop, the Qin army has absolute advantages.
Moreover, the strongest person in the South Gate is Yuan Shu, who has been beaten by Cao Cao.
However, if you fight north, it will be different. If you fight north, you will have to face Yuan Shao, who has just annexed Gongsun Zan and is in a strong position.
This choice is almost unquestionable. If Cao Cao was Li Chen, he would definitely have to fight south instead of north.
"Yes, that's right!"
"The King of Qin will definitely fight south. After half a year, at most half a year, after the King of Qin stabilizes Jiangdong, he will definitely lead his troops to the south."
