Now everyone knows that behind the Xiliang Army is Liu Chuang...

If Ma Chao really took control of Liangzhou, the entire Guanzhong would have been peeking at Liu Chuang. At that time, Guanzhong was in turmoil and Sili was in chaos...

Cao Cao couldn't help but take a breath and paced in the big tent.

Hedong, Jizhou...

He suddenly realized that he was facing a dilemma.

If Cao Ren evacuated Hedong, Hedong would inevitably have a state of empty troops. Although Zhong Yao would be in charge of Hedong, if Liu Chuang launched an offensive, could Zhong Yao block Liu Chuang's attack? If Hedong is lost, Henoi will immediately fall into a dangerous situation.

But if Cao Cao wanted to strengthen the defense of Hedong at this time, he would have to draw out the troops in Jizhou.

Now, he is at the advantage.

Liu Chuang was seriously ill again and could not afford to participate in the war in a short period of time, which would inevitably make the morale of the Han army sluggish. If he could not take this opportunity to drive the Han army back to the north bank of the Zhang River, and Liu Chuang connected the Hejian Anping and Zhongshan together, the situation in Jizhou would inevitably undergo huge changes.

Should I continue to attack Liu Chuang or rush to Hedong?

In front of him, the Han army in Guanjin was like a piece of fat that was about to enter, making it difficult for Cao Cao to give up.

This is also the biggest problem Cao Cao is facing at present: he has a large population and is rich in money and food.

But he was located in the Central Plains and happened to be attacked from all sides. To be honest, it was definitely not difficult for Cao Cao to mobilize 200,000 to 300,000 troops. But the problem is that there are too many enemies around him, which makes it difficult for him to concentrate his troops and turn his potential advantages into real advantages.

This is also one of the main reasons why Liu Chuang dared to show off with Cao Cao.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao had a headache!

After pondering for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Wenhe, please let Yuan Chang strengthen his garrison... If Chuang'er sends troops to Hanoi, let him hold on for me for twenty days, no, fifteen days. If I can't return to support within fifteen days, he will decide whether to fight or surrender, and I will never blame him."

Cao Cao decided to bet!

To be honest, he can't think about the current situation.

In the Donglai side, because Wang Xiu committed suicide, Gan Ning was able to occupy the eastern part of Jiaodong and even seize Huang County.

The situation is not optimistic, but it is not considered a corruption... Cao Cao needs a big victory to stabilize the situation and improve morale. Liu Chuang is right in front of him. If he cannot take this opportunity to defeat Liu Chuang, it will definitely cause more conflicts in the future.

Moreover, Cao Cao is confident that he can defeat Liu Chuang!

It was also a helpless move to let Zhong Yao persist for fifteen days.

Cao Cao really couldn't draw any troops now, so he came to help Zhong Yao...

Seeing that Cao Cao had made a decision, Jia Xu couldn't persuade him any more. He also knew that Cao Cao's decision was a helpless move and only hoped that Zhong Yao could persevere.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The battle in Guanjin became more and more intense.

Cao Cao began to launch an attack at any cost, as if he was going to fight Liu Chuang back to the north bank of the Zhang River.

And what about Liu Chuang?

Still not appearing.

The people who presided over the battle in Guanjin were still Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun.

However, if Liu Chuang doesn't show up, it doesn't mean he will be very relaxed now... On the contrary, Liu Chuang is not at all relaxed, but is under tremendous pressure.

During the Battle of Jizhou, Liu Chuang invested a total of 50,000 people.

In the Battle of Donglai, Liu Chuang also invested 15,000 people.

The investment of 65,000 people puts Liu Chuang under tremendous pressure.

His boundary line is very long, and he is destined to defend in the northern part of the Seychelles... The migration of the Heishan people is also under great pressure. Liu Chuang must ensure that the northern part of the Seychelles is calm and there will be no attacks from foreign races. Otherwise, millions of Heishan people will not be able to live in Bingzhou with peace of mind.

Montenegro is a very sensitive and vulnerable group...

The reason why they were willing to follow Zhang Yan to join Liu Chuang was on the one hand because of their trust in Zhang Yan, on the other hand because Liu Chuang could provide them with land, and on the other hand, they believed that Liu Chuang could ensure their safety in Shuofang. Millions of Black Mountain people have been wandering in the past ten years, and have become like frightened birds. A little bit of turmoil may have a huge impact on them and make them panic.

Liu Chuang arranged nearly 50,000 troops in Shuofang and ordered the construction of an army town.

All of this is to give millions of Black Mountain people a sense of security... In other words, Liu Chuang could not mobilize troops from the north of the subway.

Sixty-five thousand people are already the largest force that Liu Chuang can invest.

Once Guanjin retreats, it will inevitably cause a series of problems.

In this battle, Liu Chuang and Cao Cao must win, and there is no other choice.

But how easy is it to win?

He pretended to be sick and retreated from Guanjin to Wuyi.

However, he is still very concerned about the situation in Guanjin... However, what he is worried about now is not the situation in Guanjin.

Although Cao's attack was fierce, he could not break through the Han army's defense line in a short period of time. The reason why Liu Chuang had a headache was a war report from Donglai. After the initial panic and turmoil, Yu Jin and Li Dian gradually stabilized their position and received support from Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan drew 30,000 troops from Taishan County and stationed in Beihai Kingdom.

At the same time, under the leadership of Man Chong, Qingzhou Shipyard began to resume production and manufacture sea ships.

Qingzhou Shipyard was abandoned as early as Guanghe and has always been ignored. However, after Liu Chuang's attacks from the sea appeared, many people began to face up to the problem of the sea defense line. After Man Chong became the governor of Qingzhou, he began to recruit craftsmen and reopen shipyards. Although the sea ships they produced were far inferior to those of the Han army's sea ships, their success is that their technology is relatively simple and their manufacturing is relatively easy.

Man Chong does not need any excellent sea boat, nor does he need any outstanding sea boat sailors and generals.

What he had to do was to offset the threat of Liu Chuang's attack from the sea...

The most important thing is that Cao Cao's rule is large and there are many craftsmen. When Cao Cao's ships began to cruise along the coast, the attack strength of the Liaodong Navy was obviously much weakened. In this way, Yu Jin and Li Dian could free up his hands and gather troops in Qingzhou.

Even if Gan Ning occupied Huang County and could continuously obtain support from Liaodong, it was not as good as Yu Jin to call on the spot.

This also doubled Gan Ning's pressure.

"I originally thought that Wang Xiu would surrender to me to stabilize the situation in Donglai for me.

Xingba Wei Yue and Zhou Cang are both generals, but they can manage the place, but they are far inferior to Wang Xiu... Donglai is uneasy, Xingba and the other two will be in danger. If this situation cannot be improved as soon as possible, it will take not long before Xingba and the others will withdraw from Donglai. Last time we retreated, there is still a reason to say. This time we took the initiative to attack, and many people in Donglai stood up to support it. If we retreat again, those who support us will be hit... In that case, when we attack Donglai again next time, we will not find any allies."

Liu Chuang urgently found Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun to know the situation in front of him.

"So, Xingba and the others must nail me to Donglai and restrain the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou."

After saying that, he looked up at Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun, "Kong Ming, Bo Yan... Do you two have a plan to help me overcome this difficulty?"

Zhuge Liang fell into deep thought, while Lu Xun frowned.

After a while, Lu Xun said: "In the current situation in Edonglai, one person must be sent to stabilize the situation so that General Xingba can fight with all his strength."

He took a deep breath and bowed suddenly.

"Boyan is not talented, and he has received the favor of the Lord's public intellectual, but he has not received the opportunity to repay him.

The situation in Donglai was tense this time, and Bo Yan dared to ask for his orders and was willing to go to Donglai to help the general entertain the stability of the situation. If it fails, Donglai will be killed in the battle."

The ancients said that a promise was made by a thousand gold.

Lu Xun's words have already expressed his attitude.

Liu Chuang narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Xun for a long time and couldn't speak.

How to say it?

From the current situation, Lu Xun is indeed the best candidate to go to Donglai. He knows water war... Although water war and naval warfare are completely different concepts, there are still common points in terms of some basic elements. In history, Lu Xun led the Jiangdong Navy and fought against Cao Cao for many years. Since then, the Jiangdong Navy has been passed down for three generations in the Lu Xun family, which is enough to show the family's talent for the navy...

Lu Xun is alert and extremely wise.

He knows military affairs, is more familiar with government affairs, and is quite humble.

Gan Ning is a rebellious person. If he sends a tough person to come, there will inevitably be conflicts.

Only Lu Xun is the most suitable candidate at the moment...but the situation in Donglai is not very good, Lu Xun has few resources, and Liu Chuang can provide him with very little support. In this case, if Lu Xun is defeated in Donglai, it will definitely be a big loss.

However, except for Lu Xun, Liu Chuang really couldn't think of a better person.

"If the lord decides to Donglai, he must say anything."

After thinking twice, Zhuge Liang also stepped forward to give advice.

Lu Xun looked at Zhuge Liang with gratitude and bowed again and said, "The battle in Jizhou is enough with Kong Ming.

It is useless to stay here. It would be better to let me go to Donglai, so that I can share the pressure for the lord. This is the duty of my minister."

Liu Chuang sighed.

"Since Bo Yan has a firm will, I will not persuade him.

But if you can do things, do it, if you can't do it... Bo Yan must not take risks. If you lose one Donglai, I, Liu Chuang, can still bear it, but if I lose Bo Yan, it will be like cutting my arm. So, Bo Yan goes to Donglai, and I will draw another 300 swordsmen to accompany you to protect you."

The Huangge Swordsman Camp has begun to take shape.

The battle in Lian County was the work of the Swordsman Camp.

The gods opened the gate of Lian County without knowing it, and there were 89 swordsmen, but no casualties were found.

Now the second batch of training has begun in the swordsman camp... Liu Chuang did not have too many swordsmen in his hands. This time he drew out three hundred swordsmen to go to Donglai with Lu Xun, which was equivalent to transferring all the swordsmen around Liu Chuang and giving them to Lu Xun. This also shows Liu Chuang's importance to Lu Xun.

Lu Xun couldn't help but crawl on the ground and cried, "Xun will live up to the high expectations of the lord!"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

That night, Lu Xun left Wuyi and headed straight to Bohai with three hundred swordsmen.

There, a sea boat sent him to Donglai.

But no one knows whether Lu Xun's trip will help Liu Chuang quell the chaotic situation in Donglai?

While Lu Xun set off, he welcomed an uninvited guest far away outside the Jiangyi Prefecture in Hedong.

Jiangyi was the eldest son of the name Jia Kui, whose courtesy name was Liangdao, and he was from Xiangling, Hedong.
