Yang Xiu bowed and replied, "There is no news yet. Xichuan is far away, and the messenger is rushing fast. I guess he is still on the way back."

Cao Cao nodded and did not ask any more questions.

In fact, Cao Cao believes that Cao Peng will probably delay time and never come back.

But he still sent someone to pass the order. This was a test, to see what attitude Cao Peng would respond.

In other words, he wanted to know how loyal Cao Peng was.

Cao Cao personally climbed the hillside to see Sun Quan's army.

It was originally thought that after the defeat at Chibi, Sun Quan killed Zhou Yu again, and the Eastern Wu general was not worth worrying.

But after seeing Sun Quan's formation, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.

"I should have a child like Sun Zhongmou, and there is something in my mind."

"Let's go, just follow me to see how powerful Sun Quan has!"

Cao Cao asked Cao Hong to raise an army of 30,000 to call.

Originally, I thought Sun Quan would not dare to come out, but when the door opened, he rode a maroon horse and had a pair of blue eyes, Sun Quan was the young man with outstanding blue eyes.

Next to Sun Quan, there was a young man who seemed elegant. Cao Cao guessed that this person might be Sun Quan's new governor Lu Xun.

When Sun Quan saw Cao Cao, he spoke, "The Prime Minister has already witnessed the Central Plains. Why are people still not in a good mood? He is here to plot against me in Jiangdong again?"

Before Cao Cao could answer, Yang Xiu, who was standing beside him, acted as a pawn.

"Sun Quan, you are so disrespectful, the emperor has issued an edict, and the King of Wei is in front of you!"

When Sun Quan heard this, he sneered and did not refute.

He naturally heard that Cao Cao had already become king, but no one knows what was going on.

Cao Cao raised the whip and pointed at Sun Quan and said, "Sun Quan, I am here to attack you, a traitor, by the emperor's order. I can spare your life for your father's sake."

Sun Quan laughed. Since Cao Cao wanted to quarrel, he would not be polite.

"The Prime Minister is really shameless. Who in the world knows that you are wielding the emperor to command the princes?

You still have the face to say that I am not respectful to the Han Dynasty. Emperor Gaozu once left behind his ancestors and that he would not be called kings in a different surname. However, the Prime Minister openly violated his power and used his power to force the emperor to make you king.

You are a bastard who is neither a monarch nor a minister, and I want to attack you to clear the monarch and correct the country!"

Cao Cao did not expect that this verbal battle would make him lose so much.

In a furious manner, he turned his back on his face.

He immediately ordered Dian Wei to lead the army to charge, and ordered the Xiahou brothers to be left and right vanguards.

When Sun Quan saw Cao Cao's side, he hurriedly hid back to the tent.

He is good at fighting, but he can't fight.

The lesson of the last time he was defeated by Cao's army is still vivid in my mind, so he must be careful this time.

Lu Xun immediately asked the generals to set up a formation and was already ready. The crossbowman pulled out his hard bow at this time and the arrow flew like rain.

Dian Wei led the soldiers to rush forward, but faced with arrow rain, he had to raise a shield.

Cao Cao thought Sun Quan would be as impulsive as the last time and fought with him in the wild, but he did not expect Sun Quan to return to the camp this time.

He became a turtle.

It is naturally unwise to attack, so Cao Cao had to bring his army back.

Afterwards, Cao Cao asked his generals to attack Sun Quan on their own. The conflict broke out several times, but each had its own victory or defeat.

Just when Cao Cao was planning to accumulate strength to give Sun Quan a fatal blow, the weather was not good, but it started to rain heavily.

Judging from the weather, this battle will not be fought for a while.

Cao Cao was worried again, Cao Peng in Hanzhong.

"What do he say?" Cao Cao asked with a frown.

Yang Xiu said: "General Cao Peng replied that he was about to capture Xichuan, but he was already in anxiety and could not escape."

Although Yang Xiu was arrogant, he did not dare to add fuel to the legendary character Cao Peng.

Because he had also heard that none of the people who offended Cao Peng had a good ending.

Cao Cao didn't plan to come after hearing this. Although he was anxious and clear, his face still darkened at this moment.

"I'm really hard on my wings. Are you listening to the tune or not now?"

Yang Xiu said tentatively: "Why would you rather let me go to the Xichuan land?"

Cao Cao waved his hand, "No need, let him go! Our top priority is to take down Jiangdong as soon as possible!"

...

In the hazy rain, the land of Jiangdong, whether it is cultural relics or the thoughts of the people, is like the silence trapped in the rain.

Standing under the eaves and looking at the rain in front of him, Sun Quan had some thoughts in his heart.

Since the last defeat at Chibi, Jiangdong has been on a downward trend.

This time, if the Cao army had not been separated by the Yangtze River, there would have been this timely rain.

I'm afraid I'll be in trouble.

At this moment, Lu Xun appeared behind Sun Quan at some time.

"Lord, are you worried about Jiangdong?"

After hearing Lu Xun's words, Sun Quan did not, but turned around and said leisurely:

"Now, Cao Cao has made us so anxious. If Cao Peng gets involved again, wouldn't we have a dead end?"

Lu Xun offered his advice: "We can write two letters and one for Liu Zhang and one for Zhang Lu.

The letter to Liu Zhang said that we had already contacted Cao Peng and planned to conquer Xichuan together.

Don’t just say that Cao Cao intends to attack Hanzhong. If he doesn’t want to seek death, he can only cooperate with us to attack Jingzhou!”

After hearing Lu Xun's words, Sun Quan immediately smiled:

"Okay, letting Liu Zhang and Cao Peng turn against each other, and then letting Zhang Lu help us deal with Cao Cao together is a clever plan!"

After making up his mind, Sun Quan immediately wrote two handwritten letters.

One letter was sent to Zhang Lu and the other letter was sent to Liu Zhang.

What you do now is to plant a fruit, and see what kind of fruit will take root and sprout, and then bloom.

Let’s talk about the war between Cao Peng and Zhang Lu.

Almost without any suspense, Zhang Lu was always beaten by Cao Peng.

If Cao Peng hadn't killed Zhang Lu for the sake of Zhang Lu's daughter.

The reason why he still shows mercy now is that he hopes that Zhang Lu can understand that it is impossible to do and withdraw back to Hanzhong before teasing his final bottom line.

However, how could Zhang Lu's willingness to get the duck flew like this? So he only adopted a guardian but did not dare to attack at will.

Cao Peng had already received information from the Jinyiwei.

After Cao Cao became king, he immediately led his army to fight south to the Eastern Wu.

Cao Peng was very concerned about this matter.

He now has to compete with Cao Cao for time, racing against time, whether he will attack Xichuan first or Cao Cao will unify Jiangnan first.

If Cao Peng loses to Cao Cao, there will be no place to turn over.

On the contrary, if Cao Peng took the lead in capturing Xichuan, he would then take Hanzhong with lightning speed.
