Chapter 229

Shortly after Liu Xiu defeated Zhou Yu in the north of Yuzhang County, Huang Zhong led his army to conquer Shiyang County on December 8. Sun Ben withdrew from Shiyang county and headed north to Nanchang County. Huang Zhong led the army to pursue Yichun county and Xinfu County, and led the army to approach Nanchang County.

So far, all the counties in the South and the west of Yuzhang County fell into Liu Xiu's hands.

At the same time, the news of Jiangxia huangzu's attack on Chaisang also spread.

Jingzhou was shocked by the news.

……

Xiangyang, the prefect's residence.

Liu biaotan sat right above, with a thick smile in his turbid eyes. Continuous good news back, Liu Biao has been laughing, the last one or two months, Jingzhou won the most time.

Conquer AI County!

Conquer Luling County!

Defeat Tai Shici!

Defeat sun Ben!

Capture Chaisang!

……

A series of news are all in favor of Jingzhou.

Liu Biao looked at the generals under his command and said in a deep voice: "in this battle, Huang Zu defeated Chaisang and won an unprecedented victory. Xiuer also won most of Yuzhang county and won a complete victory. Reward for meritorious service and punish for mistakes are the rules. Huang Zu and Xiu'er made great contributions to the war. How should they be rewarded

Cai Mao stood up and said, "my Lord, I don't think it's appropriate to praise you for the time being. The reason is simple: the war is still going on. Now I'm rewarded. In a twinkling of an eye, after xiugongzi or Huang Taishou have made new achievements, how can I reward them? In fact, after the end of the war, the commendation can be arranged verbally

After listening, Liu Biao nodded and agreed with CAI Mao. Cai Mao's suggestion is not to give no reward, but to give a temporary reprieve, and also to give verbal reward.

Kuai Yue stood up and said, "Lord, although we can not give rewards for the time being. But I think I can inform the counties of Jingzhou about the news from the front line, so as to inspire people and make the people of Jingzhou happy together. "

"Good! That's good advice. "

Liu Biao smell speech, direct nod approbation.

Kuai Yue smiles. His purpose is very simple, to increase Liu Xiu's prestige through propaganda. After talking with his officials, Liu Biao decided on the plan and immediately implemented it.

……

Jiangdong, wireless.

Sun Quan sat in his study in the prefect's mansion, his face dignified.

Sun Quan was also very anxious when he lost the battle in the front line. When the news of the defeat of Zhou Yu and sun Ben came back, Sun Quan became even more nervous.

In the study, Sun Quan called Zhang Zhao, Zhu Zhi, Lu Xun and others to discuss the matter.

Sun Quan looked serious and said: "Dadu governor defeated AI County, Chengpu defeated Chaisang, sunben defeated Shiyang County A series of news came, all of which were adverse to Jiangdong. I have never met such a dilemma since I inherited my foundation. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Junli are in a critical situation. What should we do? "

Rao is Sun Quan, there is no expression on his face, but in his heart, it is ups and downs..

From this year on, Sun Quan's situation has been very difficult.

At the beginning, Zhang Dan and Zhou Tai were killed, which caused Sun Quan to lose two confidants. Then Lu Su died in Liu Xiu's hands, and then Tai Shici was captured again.

A series of blows almost made Sun Quan unable to bear.

As the head of the civil service, Zhang Zhao had a sharp look in his eyes and said: "Lord, although the situation is tense, Liu Xiu's troops are still concentrated in Yuzhang county. As long as most governors guard Nanchang County, Yuzhang county can guard. The plan for today is to dispatch troops from Lujiang County, Jiujiang county and other places to Yuzhang County for support, so as not to let Yuzhang County fall. "

Sun Quan nodded and said, "Duke Zhang's proposal is feasible. When he comes down, he will immediately order the implementation."

Zhu Zhi, an old minister under Sun Quan's command, thought for a moment and said, "Lord, if the governor meets any situation in Nanchang County, the situation will be tense. In my humble opinion, Nanchang county must not be lost. In order to ensure the safety of Nanchang County, I think I can only seek foreign aid. "

"Foreign aid!"

Sun Quan's eyes brightened when he heard the speech.

Sun Quan's eyes twinkled with dazzling brilliance and said, "Jun Li, do you mean to seek the help of Cao Cao?"

Zhu Zhi nodded and said, "my Lord is wise!"

After a pause, Zhu Zhi continued: "as far as Cao Cao is concerned, Liu Biao's increasing power is also a great threat to him, so Cao Cao can't sit back and ignore him. Lord, you can say in the table that you will submit to Cao Cao and ask him to send troops to attack Jingzhou. As long as Cao Cao sent troops, Jingzhou would be in a hurry and Liu Xiu's troops would retreat. We can even unite with Cao Cao to attack Jingzhou. "

Zhang Zhao stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "in the present situation, we can only unite with Cao Cao."

Sun Quan's eyes were dignified and said: "it's a good move to unite with Cao Cao, but it's also a dangerous move. We must grasp a degree. If we invite Cao Cao to destroy Jingzhou, we in Jiangdong will also be in danger. "

Sun Quan understood the truth that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold.

Once Jingzhou is gone, it is only time for Jiangdong to perish.Zhu Zhi looked solemn and said, "the initiative is in the Lord's hands. If Jingzhou is in great danger, the Lord will turn his forces against Cao Cao. "

Sun Quan nodded, then looked at Zhang Zhao and said, "Mr. Zhang, send someone to Nanyang County. Please support Cao Ren of Nanyang County to attack Jingzhou."

"No!"

When Zhang Zhao heard the speech, he nodded.

……

Nanyang County, Wan county.

Cao Cao's army was stationed in Wan county.

The chief General in charge of Wan county is Cao Ren. Under Cao Cao's command, Cao Ren is a famous intellectual general. In addition, he was rigorous in his military use, which won the esteem and trust of Cao Cao.

General house, study.

Cao Ren is discussing the war in Jiangdong with his staff.

Jiangdong's news is on Cao Ren's desk one by one. After analyzing Liu Xiu's tactics, he couldn't help praising him: "although Liu Xiu is young, his military tactics are flexible and treacherous. The defeat of Tai Shici and Zhou Yu is quite ingenious. When he grew up, he was a strong enemy of Sikong. "

The staff didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "general, no matter how powerful Liu Xiu is, he is just a man of courage and wisdom. He can't resist the army under the command of Sikong. Under the general situation, even if Liu Xiu was a genius, he could not resist. "

Cao Ren said with a smile: "it's the same truth. Now Jiangdong is defeated and in crisis. It's a good result to fight with each other. "

The aide shook his head and said, "general, the situation is not like two tigers fighting each other. The two sides are evenly matched and the situation is deadlocked. That is a fight between two tigers. But now the result is that Liu Xiu leads the commander to drive straight in and break through the Jiangdong army. The strength of the two sides is not equal. In some cases, it is weakening Jiangdong and strengthening Jingzhou. Jingzhou strong, also has an impact on Sikong

Cao Ren frowned and said, "what do you mean?"

The aide said: "please prepare for the war, prepare to harass Jingzhou, increase the pressure of Liu Biao and reduce the pressure of Sun Quan. In this way, the forces of both sides will be closer to balance. "

Cao Ren said: "your proposal is feasible, especially Sikong is preparing to go south. Now the time is not ripe. We can only harass Jingzhou and maintain the balance between Jingzhou and Jiangdong. "

"Newspaper!"

Suddenly, the soldier knocked on the door outside the study and said, "general, Ambassador Jiangdong, please see me."

Cao Ren laughed and said, "I will go to the hall immediately."

In the hall, Yu fan saw Cao Ren and arched his hand and said, "ride Du Wei Yu Fan and meet general Cao Ren."

Cao Ren knew very well, but said, "what's the matter with Yu Duwei coming to Wan county?"

Yu Fanzheng said: "general Cao, this time I'm here, I'm asking general Cao to send troops to attack Jingzhou."

Cao Ren, with a smile, said, "what will we do to attack Jingzhou? The fight between Jiangdong and Jingzhou is just the time for the two tigers to fight. Why should the general send troops? "

Yu Fan said: "if the general doesn't send troops, it is the general who will lose. First, if Jingzhou becomes bigger, it will pose a greater threat to Sikong. Second, as long as the general sends troops, our Lord Sun Quan is willing to submit himself to Cao Sikong and obey his orders. "

With these words, Cao Ren had a smile on his face.

Cao Ren is very clear that Sun Quan's accession to the throne is superficial Kung Fu, but superficial Kung Fu is also very important. He nodded and said, "I'll know all about Jiangdong. Go back and tell sun Taishou that he would have sent troops. "

"Thank you, general Cao!"

Yu Fan was very happy. He was afraid that Cao Ren would not send troops. He did not expect things to go so smoothly.
