Liu Yan insisted on following Pang Tong into Sichuan, but Xu Shu persuaded him to no avail, so he had to acquiesce. A few days later, at the regular meeting of the new princess's mansion, she announced the decision to everyone. Immediately, there was an uproar below.

Kou Feng was the first to jump up, but Liu Yan sent him away with a word: "Senior brother, I will take you with me." ”

Liu Yan did not elaborate on other personnel arrangements, only saying that from now on, Jingzhou will enter the "big rear" mode, and everything must be prepared for the army to enter Sichuan.

The day after the meeting, Liu Yan took Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Jiang Wan and others to send Zhang Song to board the ship back to Shuzhong. Through Gan Ning's translation, Liu Yan told Zhang Song not to reveal that he had been to Jingzhou. This will only cause some small obstacles to Liu Yan, but for Zhang Song himself, it may lead to the disaster of killing and exterminating the clan.

If Liu Zhang knew, Zhang Song lured the wolf into the room and betrayed him. That would definitely have torn him apart.

In addition, Zhang Song's entourage had already been captured by Huang Zhong and secretly imprisoned when he first entered Jingzhou. Now those who are following Zhang Song back are carefully selected from the Jingzhou army.

They have only one mission, to find Zhuge Liang. If you find out that he has already come out, try to kill him, and if he chooses to live in seclusion, then monitor and protect him nearby.

Zhang Song didn't know this, he thought that Liu Yan asked him to bring so many Jingzhou people to be a spy and spy on the military situation in Yizhou. Now that the map has been taken away, he is not so hypocritical and readily agrees.

Not long after Zhang Song left, the news that Princess Yiyang was ready to personally lead troops into Sichuan spread, which immediately attracted great attention from relevant parties.

Koto was close and was the first to get the news. Sun Quan had been depressed lately, and the new batch of weapons he had brought in from Cao Cao had cost him a lot of money, and he had been saddled with a debt as a result.

It was not easy to ask the scholars to borrow money, but Jiang Qin died in the naval battle, Zhou Tai was gone, plus the earliest loss of Lu Su and a trip to the Northern Expedition made it difficult for Zhou Yu to become ill and no longer be a heavy responsibility, Jiangdong lost many Wenchen generals in the hands of Liu Yan.

In addition, Sun Shao, a heavyweight, has always been in Liu Yan's hands, and Sun Quan has been throwing a rat trap and having nightmares at night, all of which are Sun Shao leading the army to seize the throne.

This made him even more distrustful of Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, two suspects who may have had "contact" with Sun Shao and showed that they were likely to have been "co-opted".

Fortunately, he has always thought that Jiangdong's talents are like clouds and fierce generals, and the talent reserve is on par with Cao Cao in the north. There is no Lu Xun, Zhou Yu, and Quan Cong, Zhu Zhi, Zhu Ran, Bu Ying, Lu Meng, Zhuge Jin and a group of people who can support the overall situation of Jiangdong. Therefore, he was more comfortable marginalizing and freezing Lu Xun and Zhou Yu.

Now, after getting the information that Liu Yan was about to raise troops into Sichuan, he had the absurd idea that "if it weren't for Zhou Yu's incompetence, Jingzhou should be mine, and now it should be me to enter Sichuan", and he doesn't know where he got his confidence. inexplicably gave Zhou Yu another big mistake, and Zhou Yu's "sick leave" was extended indefinitely.

However, for Zhou Yu, this is actually a blessing in disguise. Huang Xiaogongzi's hidden arrow angle is extremely tricky, and the wound is not easy to grow, plus he was vomited blood by Cen Qiqi, suffered internal injuries, and left his heart sick, which is not something that can be cured well in a while. Now, Sun Quan abandoned him, but gave him plenty of time to cultivate and recuperate, in addition to being somewhat depressed, he was also living a leisurely and comfortable life.

As for Lu Xun, he doesn't care even more. Because he married Sun Ce's daughter, he was demoted from a concubine to a concubine, lost his status within the clan, and became a nameless junior. I can't get into the core in the first place, I should do a bad job, I'm afraid that people will worry about it if I do it well, and I don't want to do it well, not to mention how awkward it is. It's best if you don't need to, he reads books at home with nothing to do, and it's also good to cultivate himself slowly and cultivate himself.

To be honest, since Jingzhou produced a naval army general named Gan Ning, Jiangdong's proud naval army has become tofu scum and has been abused casually by this person named Gan Ning, abused over and over again. It's just that Sun Quan always doesn't believe in evil, always creates incidents, and sends them to the door to beg for abuse, and there is no one left. Even the father-in-law of the founder of Jiangdong was robbed by him, and that was the hinterland of Jiangdong! Lu Xun felt that this was a slap in the face of Sun Quan, and Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong, should be about to come to an end when he met this fierce man.

Gan Ning can come in once and come in a second time. Many generals in Jiangdong said to the outside world that they were all-powerful in water warfare and land warfare, but to put it bluntly, they were very average in both categories, and there were no particularly outstanding land battles or particularly outstanding water warfare talents. Lu Xun and Zhou Yu invariably thought of Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Kou Feng, who forced Tai Shici to death.

It turned out that Jiangdong, which was backed by the foundation of the third generation, and Jiangdong, which was known as the ability to fight with millions of armor and win the war, was like being poked by someone on a rubber raft after the Battle of Chibi, and it has been leaking, and now it is not as good as a year. However, Sun Quan still dreams of hegemony, and would rather spend a lot of money to buy Cao Cao's weapons and resources than spend a penny on people's livelihood issues.

Now, the news that Liu Yan is about to enter Sichuan after the autumn harvest has reached Jiangdong, and Sun Quan's heart is soaring. He seems to have seen the hope of entering Jiangxia, invading Changsha, transiting Jiangling, and Beike Xiangyang. So, he was also secretly preparing for war.

In the north, Cao Cao learned the news a little later than Sun Quan. However, this news has long been expected by him. Back then, when the news of the loss of Xiangyang came, he expected that one day Liu Yan would compete with him for Yizhou. That's why he did something wrong in a hurry, killed Ma Teng, angered Ma Chao, and lost so much time in vain.

Although Ma Chao has now returned to Zhang Lu, there is only Han Sui left in Xiliang. But for a while, it was not good for him to rush out troops again. Because there is definite news that there are cavalry in Jingzhou, and the general of this cavalry is none other than Zhao Yun! Liu Bei may look down on Zhao Yun, but Cao Cao will definitely not, because Cao Cao attaches great importance to cavalry, and attaches more importance to cavalry generals, and he will not look away at such a super-superior talent as Zhao Yun.

Others don't believe that a cavalry can be trained in two or three years, but Cao Cao believes! Because the general of this cavalry is called Zhao Yun! It is precisely because of the existence of Zhao Yun that he easily believes that there is a cavalry team in Jingzhou that is not weak, and it is because of this that he strengthened the defense around Xudu and personally sat in the town, not daring to send troops to Xiliang.

However, there are always exceptions, and the arrogance of Gongsun Kang in the Northeast is becoming more and more arrogant, and they are strong in soldiers and horses, and they have plenty of food and grass, and the friction between them and Cao Zhang, the assassin of Youzhou, is becoming more and more frequent. In order to curb Gongsun Kang's momentum, Cao Cao successively transferred Cao Ren and Zhang Liao there. Leaving Wen Ping from Jingzhou and his confidant general Zhu Ling each led a cavalry to respond to each other and defend the capital. In addition, he himself is also in charge of Xu Du.

I can't help but say that opening the channel of maritime commerce and connecting with Gongsun Kang is really Liu Yan's wisest move, with Gongsun Kang and the ethnic minorities pulling back his legs, Cao Cao wants to fly but can't fly high.

Now, the news that Liu Yan is about to enter Sichuan has reached Cao Cao's ears, and the left ear goes in, but the right ear does not come out. Putting the news in his mouth and arguing about it, he made an astonishing decision to personally send troops not to attack Xiliang but to attack Liaodong. He wanted to quickly and completely eradicate the Gongsun clan and recover Liaodong. Then turn the gun and use the method of intimidation and increasing the pressure of troops to subdue Han Sui, without Ma Chao's Xiliang, there is no need to be afraid at all!

Liu Yan rashly entered Sichuan, and he could have good fruits to eat? The climatic conditions in Shu were complex and harsh, and the road conditions were complex and harsh, even if Cao Cao wanted to fight by himself, he was not sure that he would be able to set foot in Sichuan without five to ten years. Not to mention Liu Yan, a little girl. Therefore, he has enough time to get Gongsun Kang and Han Sui, and it is not too late to enter Sichuan at this time. I think he Cao Cao regards himself as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and lies in the north, so he has this self-confidence!

In addition, for Jingzhou, which lost Liu Yan and a large number of civil and military generals, Cao Cao did not stop using his brains. He had already figured out who he was going to send to Jingzhou to cause trouble. If you only rely on some small means, you will not be able to pry the behemoth of Jingzhou, and you must send a heavyweight to act as a fulcrum before it is possible to pry over the big ship of Jingzhou.

Compared with the state of the two families who watched the play, Liu Yan, the main master, was entangled at this time. The content of the entanglement is nothing more than who stays in Jingzhou to take care of the family, and who enters Sichuan with her.

Originally, Pang Tong took Zhang Fei, Kou Feng, Wei Yan, Cen Qi, Le Jin, Zhou Tai, Deng Ai, Ma Yan, Yin Guan, and their respective deputy generals and subordinates into Sichuan together. found that after such a number, only Li Yan, Gan Ning and Zhao Yun were left for the teacher, although they were all good players with one enemy and one hundred, but there were still too few. After thinking about it, I can't make up my mind who will stay.

She promised Kou Feng in front of the public that she would definitely take him with her, so naturally she couldn't break her word. Zhang Fei must also take it away, lest he stay in Jingzhou and worry about Liu Chan's affairs and turn his mind badly. After all, Liu Bei was killed by her order, and she had a weak heart. Originally. It is most suitable for the old man Huang Zhong to stay, to have qualifications, prestige, and ability. The old man is a war fanatic, and if he is not allowed to fight, then he will not do it. After dying, he thought about it, and finally crossed Wei Yan's name off the list of those who went out first. For this reason, Liu Yan also let out a long sigh, people hate less when they use it, and talents will always be one or two! )
