Bingzhou Jinyang.
When the two countries of Han and Wu were closely together.
Cao Cao also received news that Han had launched a conquest against Wu.
Although he led a large army to Bingzhou to resist the invading Xiongnu, it did not mean that he did not care about the affairs of the Central Plains.
There is food and grass supported by Han State.
He would be able to fight the Huns without any worries, and he would not have to worry about the issue of food and grass within a few months.
As for a few months later, there would be food and grass in his territory, enough for the army to fight.
What's more, he had no intention of spending such a long time defeating the Huns' army. , After handing over the grain and grass with the Han army.
Cao Cao divided the army into two parts.
One part was led by Xia Houyuan, along with several generals, and headed towards Youzhou to join Xiahou Dun and resist Karasuma's army.
Some of them were personally commanded by him and fought against the Huns in Bingzhou. now.
Cao Cao also led an army to Jinyang, and the Xiongnu army also knew that he was leading an army.
They no longer dispersed and burned, killed and looted everywhere, but gathered together and came all the way from the clouds.
This is exactly what he wanted.
After all, the Huns are famous for their horse troops.
If they are scattered, it is not easy to annihilate them as soon as possible, but if they gather together.
There is a lot of room for manipulation.
In a head-on confrontation, he didn't think his army would be that bad, and he was also confident enough to defeat the Huns army in Bingzhou.
Although he had no time to take care of things other than Bingzhou, he still couldn't help but sigh when he received the news that Han State had launched an expedition against Wu State.
Faced with such a situation, he could not take any action.
In the main account of the camp.
Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea.
"The Han Emperor did a good job," Cao Cao sighed as he took a sip of tea.
Before, when he heard that Liu Qi had transferred the soldiers and horses from the Shouchun land, he felt that Liu Qi had a plan, but he did not expect that he would push the Wu Kingdom to the hostile side of the people of the Central Plains.
Even if you know it's a plan.
But Wu State moved troops first, which is a fact after all, a fact that cannot be denied.
Coupled with the current situation, even if Sun Quan did not have that intention and Liu Qi pinned the blame on Sun Quan, no one would think it was a mistake.
"Indeed."
Xi Zhicai nodded in agreement and said, "I think the original intention of Emperor Han to move away the soldiers and horses in Shouchun was to make Emperor Wu himself jump into the trap.
Once Wu State mobilized troops, regardless of whether he wanted to or not , Emperor Han would throw the blame on Emperor Wu."
"However, even if Emperor Wu thought of a plan and did not use troops to seize the land of Shouchun, Emperor Han would never let go of such an opportunity and would also launch a campaign against Wu."
"So, regardless of whether the Wu State moves its troops or not, the Han State will definitely move its troops.
If the Wu State does not move its troops, then the Han State will not find excuses and fall into a disadvantageous situation.
Now, not to mention other places, even if the Wu State does not The people within the territory will have strange thoughts."
"Your Majesty, don't forget that our army has no time to take care of other things now, so the Han Kingdom will never worry about the problems in the rear and can concentrate on conquering the land of Wu.
And the 50,000 Han troops on the border of Jizhou, It’s not just about delivering food, or just in case something unexpected happens, it’s as simple as that, it also has the meaning of monitoring our army.”
He also expressed his thoughts.
After listening to Xi Zhicai’s analysis.
Cao Cao nodded in agreement.
After all, Xi Zhicai was right.
According to the current situation, regardless of whether the Wu State captured the Shouchun land or not, the Han State would eventually launch a conquest against the Wu State.
Thus provoking a war and taking the opportunity to seize the land of Wu.
However, if the Wu State does not seize the land of Shouchun and takes the lead in launching troops.
In that way, Wu State would not be on the unjust side, nor would the people in the local area have opinions.
Even if Liu Qi provoked a war, he would not be on the righteous side and launched a conquest.

Things may change. , Can. not to mention. , The invasion of the Xiongnu and Wuwan dragged the Wei soldiers and horses to Bingzhou and Youzhou, and there was no longer any threat to the Han Dynasty.
Think of this.
"If the Han State captures the Wu State, the Central Plains will no longer be able to withstand the power of the Han State.
Even our country will not be able to continue to withstand the Han Emperor's offensive," Cao Cao sighed.
A look of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
Hear the words.
Xi Zhicai's eyes narrowed.
He also thought of the key point.
If Han really captured Wu, then all the southern part of the Central Plains would belong to Han territory.
The strength of the Han State will be further enhanced, and at that time, Wei State will be the only one left in the Central Plains.
It is indeed not easy to resist the powerful Han State.
As for whether Wu can resist Han.
This time.
But it is still something that is not confirmed.
After all, when the two armies are fighting, anything can happen.
However, the actual situation is very unfavorable to Wu Guo, with an unjust reputation, which can affect many things.
"The general trend of the Han Dynasty has been established.
It is not easy to resist it."
Xi Zhicai hesitated for a moment and continued: "Your Majesty, maybe we still have a choice."
Having said this, he did not say any more.
"Can I choose?"
Cao Cao said with a wry smile.
He didn't know what choice Xi Zhicai was talking about, but it seemed like there was no such choice in his heart.
Although he regarded Liu Qi as his strongest opponent, even if the princes were divided before, in his heart, only Liu Qi could be his opponent.
As for Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others, he didn't care too much.
But now it seems that once the Han State captures the Wu State, it will no longer be difficult for him to fight against Liu Qi.
Unfortunately, he has no choice now.
See Cao Cao's demeanor.
Xi Zhicai could only sigh in his heart.
He also knew that there was no such choice.
Cao Cao, not even himself, would not choose that way.
After all, if they choose, then they will be eternal sinners.
What's more, even if they are not afraid of being charged, can they pass the test in their hearts?
"There is no need to talk about this matter anymore.
We only need to order the spies to continue to inquire about the war between Han and Wu.
Don't pay any attention to it."
Cao Cao waved his hand and continued: "The first thing to consider now is how to annihilate the Xiongnu who invaded Bingzhou."
He knew that there was no use in thinking too much.
The first priority is to deal with matters within Bingzhou.
If they can be resolved as soon as possible, then there is still a slight chance. , Xi Zhicai also nodded in agreement.
The two then discussed how to deal with the Xiongnu, and stopped talking about the affairs of Han and Wu
