In February of the third year of Jian'an, an unexpected thing happened, that is, Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha in Jingnan, suddenly raised the anti flag and openly opposed Liu Biao. Moreover, Lingling and Guiyang, two of the four counties in Jingnan, also united with Zhang Xian.
Liu Biao was shocked after hearing the speech that the civil war in Jingzhou was imperative. Naturally, he ignored Sun Quan's and Cao Cao's requests. At that time, he assembled a large army to fight against the Changsha rebels.
Among the four counties in Jingnan, the only one that has not rebelled is Wuling county. In fact, Wuling Sheriff also planned to rebel, but Liu Biao's son Liu Pan happened to lead his troops to Wuling. After learning about this, Liu Biao quickly led his troops into Wuling county to pacify the rebellion and wait for the arrival of Liu Biao's army.
Although it was consumed a lot in the previous wars, since the Yellow turban rebellion, most people from the Central Plains have gone south to escape. Therefore, the civilian households in Jingzhou have been enriched. Liu Biao ordered Huang Zu to sit in the river and not to move freely. On his part, he put together a total of 40000 troops, with CAI Mao and Kuai Liang as their commanders and led one army to fight against the rebellion.
Zhang Xian originally led the rebels to attack the surrounding counties, but when he heard the arrival of CAI Mao and Kuai Liang's troops, he immediately cowered into the city.
Changsha County, Linxiang city.
Standing alone on the head of the city is a flag with a Chinese character. Outside the city is the Jingzhou army camp, which covers more than ten miles, surrounding the city of Changsha.
"Well, the old thief Zhang Xian really wanted to die. After breaking the city, he had to punish his family and make an example."
Cai Mao cold channel.
"Listen to the meaning of governor Cai, it seems that they are going to attack Linxiang city?"
Kuai Liang, with a steady manner, asked.
"This is nature. Zhang Xian's rebellion should be calmed down as soon as possible. Otherwise, would Jingzhou be in a panic?" Cai Mao asked.
Kuai Liang shook his head: "I see it's unnecessary. Linxiang city is strong, and there are more heavy soldiers in the city. It's hard to break through for a while. It's better to send troops to break through the surrounding counties and surround them instead of attacking them. When Linxiang city has run out of ammunition and food, it will be easy to say. "
"Hum, Kuai is outstanding in wisdom, but he doesn't know military strategy. I'll give it to someone this time."
What's the voice of vice governor Kuai liang?
Seeing that Cai Mao was so arbitrary, Kuai Liang just sighed and didn't say anything.
Sun Quan was still worried: "Cao Cao has almost unified Jiangdong, but we are trapped in Chaisang. The river has been declining. If Cao Cao started to attack, what should we do?"
Zhou Yu pondered for a while and said slowly, "my Lord, who else can compete for the world now?"
Although Sun Quan was young, he had a lot of insight. After pondering for a while, he began to say, "the world is not the same as that in those days. Since the Central Plains is the dividing line, to the west of Mount Tai and Dongjun, Liu Yuqing, a general, is respected, and to the East is Cao Cao's old thief."
"Now Liu Ye, a general, is fighting against Sichuan and Sichuan. After destroying Shu, he will surely go east. If the general wants to fight for the world, there must be a war between him and Cao Cao. At that time, the two armies will fight. If the general wins, our army will naturally take advantage of the situation to take back Jiangdong's hometown."
Sun Quan frowned and said, "in your opinion, how long will it be before a war breaks out between Cao Cao and Liu Ye?"
"Two years at least and five years more."
"It's too long." Sun Quan sighed.
