"No, now that we have just gained a foothold in Jingzhou City, if we want to do something to attack the city, it is too risky. Xu Shu said, and immediately vetoed Pang Tong's words.

Pang Tong's temper also came up: "The land of Jingzhou, although it is said to be the belly of the world, but don't forget, this Jingzhou is also the most difficult place in the world to defend, there are enemies on all sides, there are Cao Mengde, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan and Gongsun in the north, and there are Taishou of the four counties of Jingnan in the south, I heard that there is a peerless fierce general Huang Zhong who is not lost to Lu Bu! In the east is Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Tao Qian of Xuzhou City, and various tribes in Jiangdong, so what about the west? There are Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu, and Ma Teng in the west!"

Pang Tong and Xu Shu are reasonable, Pang Tong is worried about the foundation of Jingzhou, Jingzhou City has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, once Cao Mengde in the north is pacified, or Yuan Shao is pacified in the world, they will definitely attack in the south, and Jingzhou City and Xuzhou City are the first battle of their attack.

If Li Hugo has no place to stand, the consequences will be very terrible, because he will not even have a way to escape, so he will only have a dead end.

Although Jingzhou is rich, if there is no base area, it will be very difficult to defend, at this time Su Fei came up and said: "Why do so many people in Jingzhou rush to ask for it?"

"It's about the general trend of the world. Xu Shu sighed, Jingzhou is actually a vague geographical concept, sometimes referring to a state, sometimes referring to a county, Jingzhou originally refers to one of the thirteen states of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is naturally very important: "This place can be stationed, defended, attacked, and it is the most convenient piece of land for transportation, which is naturally what everyone wants." ”

"From the military geography point of view, this place is very rich, is the two lakes plain, also known as the two lakes basin, there are Hanshui, Dahong Mountain in the north, Wuling in the south, Wushan in the west, Dabie Mountain, Mufu Mountain, Jiuling Mountain, Luoxiao Mountain in the east, forming a natural barrier. Li Hugo shook his head and said, "The minutes of Shi Fangyu once said that the mountains and rivers of Jingzhou are dangerous and solid, and they have been called majestic since ancient times, that is to say, Jingzhou is named after the winding and towering Jing Mountain in the original territory, Jingchu is adjacent to the country, the water flows down, the Jiang Han is taken outside, and the mountains are dangerous inside. If there is a basis, this emperor's assets are not available. ”

"What do you mean?" Su Fei was still puzzled.

Xu Shu said patiently: "The meaning of the lord is that Jingzhou is equivalent to the Central Plains in the north, extending in all directions, with Nanyang in the north, Lingnan in the south, Bashu in the west, Jiangdong in the east, Jingzhou is the land of four wars, and there are four important cities, namely Jiangling in the north, Hengyang in the south, Yiling in the west, and Xiakou in the east. ”

Su Fei nodded thoughtfully: "In other words, Jingzhou is a huge military base, right?"

"Yes! That's what it means. Xu Shu said.

Su Fei scratched his head: "Since the lord and the two gentlemen are worried about the affairs of Jingzhou, then why bother to fight Yuan Shu?

As soon as these words came out, the three of them looked at Su Fei at the same time, and Su Fei hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I said it casually." ”

Since Yuan Shu has 300,000 troops, we also need to garrison troops to cultivate, so attacking the strong is indeed the next policy, but the four counties of Jingnan are close to us, and they are easy to defend and difficult to attack!" Pang Tong said.

Xu Shu said: "Yes, yes, I didn't expect us to argue for a long time, it turned out that the answer was so simple! Take Jingnan as the foundation first, and then plot the matter of Shouchun!"

Pang Tong and Xu Shu also immediately resolved the quarrel just now, and came to the tent, Li Hugo said what happened just now, Xun Yu also hurriedly said, "Indeed, it is not appropriate to start a large-scale war now, and the four counties of Jingnan, we have to take the difficulty of average, and the difficulty of Shouchun can be described as very large, Shouchun City is known as the first strong city in the world!"

"It's not that Yuan Shu is afraid of death, he built the wall of Shouchun City into the sky, as thick as a mountain wall. Pang Tong said.

Attacking Shouchun is a very intense thing, so Li Hugo also understands that attacking Shouchun City is not the best policy, after all, he has just taken office as the governor of the capital, if he can't play prestige in the first battle, I'm afraid it will damage his reputation, and in a certain sense, it may also demoralize and cause irreparable consequences.

So this time, Li Hugo also agreed to this strategy, and immediately drove troops to prepare the four counties of Jingnan.

As soon as they talked about fighting, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao suddenly blossomed, Zhao Yun said: "Big brother, you have to take me there no matter what this time, I feel bored every morning and night here to train here!"

"You should take me there, the iron horse I trained is invincible in the world! Lord, I will definitely not be worse than Zilong!"

"You guys, you can't go anywhere, you're all guarding the city in Jingzhou!" Li Hugo said with a smile, "I'll take Guan Sheng over this trip." ”

"Huh?!" the two brothers were stunned.

Yang Paifeng next to him covered his mouth and chuckled: "Master, this is here to look for General Guan Sheng directly, are you disappointed?"

"Pai Feng, when will you go home?" Although the affairs in the camp are a little troublesome, but there is still a lack of service by Qiling's side, if you are ......" Li Hugo stopped when he wanted to speak.

Yang Paifeng's face immediately sank, full of sadness: "I swear, I ...... I only serve Mrs. Ren alone......"

"Then I won't force you, but if you want to come back, you can come back at any time......" Li Hugo handed a key with a copper core to Yang Paifeng.

Yang Paifeng took the key, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, master." ”

Three days later, the army moved together and came to Changsha County, at this time Li Hugo and Pang Tong and Guan Sheng came to Changsha County, and the Taishou of Changsha County knew that Li Hugo was coming, so he had already prepared 30,000 soldiers and horses to meet the battle, and Li Hugo only brought 5,000 people.

Taishou Han Xuan said: "The traitor Li Huguo, as soon as Liu Biao Liu Jingsheng dies, you will become the governor of Jingzhou, there must be something greasy in this, I expect that you must be the one who makes trouble, wait for me to take your life, and comfort the dead heroic spirit of Ming Gong!"

Li Hugo didn't expect that he would bring people and horses over, and he immediately received such a warm reception from Han Xuan, he didn't get angry but laughed: "It's just a Changsha County, I'm here to persuade you to surrender, but you are stubborn and refuse to surrender, my words are here, if you open the door and surrender, this Changsha County is still your county guard, you agree, if you don't agree, don't blame a certain subordinate for being ruthless!"
