This transaction has gained for both Cai Mao and Liu Bei.
If Cai Mao gets Xiangyang, his strength will increase greatly. No matter how much Liu Bei takes away, Xiangyang is always the place where Jingzhou is located. Liu Biao developed very well when he was there.
After occupying Xiangyang, Cai Mao shifted his focus to Xiangyang.
The most important thing for Liu Bei, who has just occupied Shuchuan, is to have development funds. This time he got the money, he just took the opportunity to develop.
The alliance between Cao Cao and Cai Mao was finally reached. They had no deep hatred.
There's no big feud. It's just a competitive relationship. Before that, there was more commercial competition.
Cai Mao couldn't make an alliance with sun CE, so he soon negotiated terms with Cao Cao, supported each other and formed an alliance.
After forming an alliance, Cao Cao can finally take a breath and develop his territory.
Recently, Cao Cao has put down a lot of important things, worried about other people's affairs, and always cared about Zhang Yu's situation.
On Zhang Yu's side, after the battle of Chibi, sun CE lost a lot of water power, making them unable to attack but to defend.
This side won a great victory, and the news spread to sun CE.
Sun Qitan said, "is the foundation of my sun family really going to change?"
Sun CE was a young man, a hero, and very unwilling.
At the mouth of jiangxiakou, sun CE still had enough troops and horses to defend, so he was not in a hurry to retreat.
After Zhang Yu defeated Zhou Yu, he did not attack in a hurry, but continued to besiege him. When the troops from the other side came, Zhang Yu did not rush to attack.
It is sun CE who should be worried.
Zhang Yu has to wait to see what loopholes there are.
See if you can attract troops from other places.
When the army converged, a small number of troops were deployed on the north bank. Zhang Yu hoped sun CE's troops could be divided to deal with them.
It's a pity that we had better not divide our forces to deal with it.
Zhang Yu calls Guo Jiacai and Xi Zhicai.
"I want to fight and make a quick decision. I don't want to fight down this city quickly, but to defeat the whole force." Zhang Yu said.
This city costs a little more time, and Zhang Yu doesn't care.
But we can't fight slowly with the enemy in every city and every place.
Originally, Cao Cao used this kind of strategy, and the effect of this strategy was very good. If it wasn't for their major mistakes, it would not be easy for Zhang Yu to seize the opportunity.
If Zhang Yu is the overall situation.
Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai fell into thinking.
Sun CE's territory is very large. It's all around Dongting Lake and Changsha.
These places add up to a vast area.
It's not easy to get the whole area quickly.
"Lord, my subordinates think that we can open more fronts, bypass the present situation, directly threaten sun CE's rear, and force them to fight against us." Guo Jia said.
Sitting in the tent, Zhang Yu drank tea and said, "to be specific."
"Lord, the water army in Chibi is not strong any more. We will go up the waterway directly, attack their rear area, and even go directly to Changsha City. As long as sun CE's army is mobilized, we will have opportunities everywhere."
If sun CE's troops don't move, there will be few opportunities. The immediate situation is that sun CE's troops don't move, and Zhang Yu don't have many effective methods for the time being.
After listening to Guo Jia's plan, he thought about it and said, "Lord, we must not do this. We have gained an advantage. There is no need to take such risks."
"If sun CE's army in front of us can resist, we will fall into a passive position. It's better to push forward a little bit. Even if we sacrifice more, we don't need to take such risks."
Xi Zhicai doesn't agree. Naturally, he has his reasons.
Zhang Yu is an advantage, so there is no need to take risks.
Guo Jia said: "there are only a few people in sun CE's army that can be used. Now most of them are on the battlefield. If we break into their rear, the enemy will be panicked. Then we will have a chance."
Xi Zhicai once again objected, saying: "in the past, it was difficult for us to carry any siege equipment. How could Sun Jun be afraid? They always had confidence in blocking Changsha City for several months, and they would not be distressed to fight in other places."
The two counsellors quarreled there for their own reasons.
Zhang Yu thought for himself.
After he thought about it, he said, "well, I've decided to drive my troops to the rear of sun CE to see if they are worried."
"No, Lord."
Both of them are against Zhang Yu's adventure at the same time..
Other people take risks, but Zhang Yu is their backbone. If they take risks, something happens, it's a big deal.
With a big wave of his hand, Zhang Yu said, "as long as I go there myself, they will take risks. They want to trap me and solve this dispute. At the same time, only I have the ability to make their rear area chaotic."
Zhang Yu wants to win the war. He doesn't have so much time to spend, so he plans to take risks.
Zhang Yu's current position is not necessary, but he wants to give sun ce a chance. If they fight step by step, it's only a matter of time before sun CE's death, and it won't be long.
But if Zhang Yu takes a risk and can defeat their army, or even capture or kill that Zhang Yu, there may be a big turn.
In fact, Zhang Yu understands that this is impossible. His army will not be in chaos. Even without him, the enemy can not take advantage of the situation to defeat.
After the decision, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai could not object.
But Zhang Yu did not act rashly, but made many arrangements.
"I started secretly with the fleet and suddenly attacked their rear. If I found something valuable, I would attack them. If I didn't, I would scare the sun family."
"In addition, we can order 200000 troops from the rear to come up, and give them to you two here, and the troops from the rear to Zhang Liao. With him, the war situation will not collapse."
Zhang Yu finished the arrangement, and then started the operation.
Soon, in just two days, Zhang Yu secretly followed the fleet to the Dongting Lake area.
Zhou Yu was very worried. He sent people to intercept him, but his army was not strong enough to stop him.
He can't throw away the red cliff. It's very important for him to help sun CE in jiangxiakou.
"This fleet is expected to bring 50000 people into the hinterland, which is really a threat." Zhou Yu thought.
Although Dongting Lake has its own water army, it is weaker.
Zhang Yu rushed into the enemy's rear.
Zhou Yu is very worried and reports to sun CE in a hurry.
Zhang Yu has always been bold. I don't know what will happen this time.
