Chapter 777: Liu Bei Sees Hope

Liu Yu's arrangement for the Jiangdong Army has not yet begun to be implemented.

Jiangxia's Liu Bei also received Jiangdong's move on Jingzhou. At the same time, Liu Qi, the self-styled Jingzhou assassin, also received the news.

Speaking of which, Liu Qi is really pitiful. After arriving in Jiangxia, Liu Qi was almost a bare-bones commander, except for a few subordinates and henchmen brought by Liu Qi himself, the entire Jiangxia was Liu Bei's people, and there was no willingness to deal with Liu Qi, a thorn who had no real power.

Liu Qi spends every day in fear. It's not because Liu Bei treats him badly, or wants to be unfavorable to Liu Qi. On the contrary, Liu Bei is not bad to Liu Qi, and he will go to find Liu Qi every day to talk to him or something. Liu Bei is not so stupid, he still needs to keep Liu Qi as a banner now, and he can also use it as a shield when it is critical. It's better to hold Liu Qi's trump card in his hand than not. Liu Bei still knows this gain and loss.

What Liu Qi was worried about was that Liu Yu took Jingzhou without much effort, and Liu Cong surrendered very simply. Liu Cong pushed all the blame on Liu Qi in an attempt to get Liu Yu's forgiveness. Liu Qi doesn't know if Liu Yu has pardoned Liu Cong in the mainland, but from the fact that Liu Cong is still alive now, Liu Yu has forgiven Liu Cong nine times out of ten.

Liu Cong was forgiven, and Liu Qi, the one who was classified as the culprit by Liu Yu, was left. Liu Qi was scared, Liu Yu's excuse for this southern expedition was to capture him and Liu Cong, and Liu Cong pushed the crime clean again, so he was the only one to bear the responsibility.

So Liu Qi paid more attention to the movements in Xiangyang than anyone else, and even didn't let go of the surrounding situation. If Liu Qi had already had this in mind, he would not have fallen to the point where he is now.

Liu Qi got such good news and hurriedly came to discuss with Liu Bei.

"Uncle Huang, good news. Jiangdong made a move on Liu Yu. Liu Qi said happily to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was disdainful of Liu Qi in his heart, if this wine bag and rice bag were not still a little useful, he Liu Bei Liu Huang Uncle would not keep this waste and waste food. I saw Liu Bei smile and said, "My lord, I also received the news below, and I was about to report it to my lord." ”

"Uncle Huang, what are we going to do next?" Liu Qi asked anxiously.

Liu Bei said hesitantly: "Actually, Liu Bei doesn't know how to do it now. It is still necessary to discuss with the military advisor. ”

"Where is the military advisor now? This matter should be done sooner rather than later, and we still have to make arrangements as soon as possible. "When it comes to his own safety, Liu Qi is very attentive.

Liu Bei looked at Liu Qi a little vigilantly, Liu Qi was very abnormal like this, and he began to interfere with Liu Bei.

"Don't worry, my lord. Be sure to discuss countermeasures with the military advisor, and if there is a plan, you will definitely inform the adults. When the time comes, please give me some guidance. My lord, you can go back and rest with your heart, Liu Bei will definitely give you good news. Liu Bei said euphemistically, which means that you Liu Qi don't understand anything, so let's go coolly.

Liu Qi originally wanted to be the first to know, but Liu Bei said that he really couldn't help himself.

"Then there is Uncle Lao, and the official will not disturb Uncle Huang's arrangement. Let's go back and rest first. Liu Qi said.

"Greetings, sir!" Liu Bei smiled and saluted.

Liu Qi left Liu Bei satisfied, but Liu Bei showed disdain behind Liu Qi's back.

"The wine bags and rice bags are all starting to rise. What a strange story. Liu Bei kept slandering in his heart.

After sending Liu Qi away, Liu Bei hurriedly handed over Xu Shu, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan and other absolute henchmen. They also knew the relevant information, and they all came to Liu Bei one by one.

Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Everyone, Liu Yu's house is starting to be unlucky. Although he had just taken Jingzhou, Sun Ce of Jiangdong had already taken action against Jingzhou, and Wulin Port had already been captured by Sun Ce. ”

Everyone nodded, and this was indeed good news. If there is no action on the Jiangdong side, then Liu Yu's next target will be Jiangxia, and I am afraid that Liu Bei's small number of troops will not be enough for Liu Yu to rush with a charge.

Xu Shu even said: "During this time, Sun Ce has just put down an internal rebellion. Liu Yu occupied Jingzhou and had already forced Sun Ce to be in a hurry. If Liu Yu absorbs Jingzhou's naval army and finally goes down the river, I am afraid that Jiangdong will be unable to defend. Sun Ce took advantage of Liu Yu's unstable foothold to attack Jingzhou, in addition to having the intention of defending the enemy outside the country, he felt that Sun Ce had a bigger plan. ”

"What do you think about the military advisor?" Liu Bei knew that Xu Shu could see things that others didn't know.

"Wulinnai is the primary position of Jingzhou to attack Jiangdong, Sun Ce is understandable to attack here, but Wulin Port also has an important role, as long as it is occupied here, and then Jiangling City is captured, Jingzhou will be divided into two halves! Jiangling is an important town in Jingzhou, and all kinds of grain and grass materials in the southern prefectures and counties of Jingzhou are concentrated there. Jiangdong has just experienced a rebellion now, and there is a shortage of money and food, as long as Gangneung is taken, then Jiangdong's losses can be made up from here. Sun Ce's plan is not small. With Sun Ce's mind, he couldn't come up with such a plan, and he felt that Sun Ce's military advisor Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin were the planners here. Xu Shu said freely.

Liu Bei was worried when he heard this, Sun Ce had made a plan, he was still squatting in Jiangxia now, if Jingzhou was pretended to be a loophole by Sun Ce, there would be nothing to do with Liu Bei.

It's just that what Xu Shu said is so wonderful, but some people don't think so.

Jian Yong said loudly: "Military advisor, although Sun Ce has a strategy, but Liu Yunai is the strongest force in the world, I'm afraid Sun Ce won't be so smooth." ”

"It's natural, otherwise we wouldn't have anything to do." Xu Shu said with a smile.

"Strategist, what should I do?" Liu Bei knew that Xu Shu had a plan, and he couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart.

"Sun Ce can't confront Liu Yu head-on, but Jiangdong's navy is the best in the world, and relying on the strength of the navy, Jiangdong still has room to turn around. Sun Ce alone can't defeat Liu Yu, so he needs to unite with others, and the lord and Lord Thorn Shi occupy Jingzhou Dayi. There are also tens of thousands of elite soldiers in hand, and joining forces with Sun Ce will definitely be able to compete with Liu Yu. Xu Shu said his plan, which is to unite Jiangdong.

Liu Bei was still a little uneasy, and asked, "Can this be done?" ”

"My lord, there are more than just two princes in this world, Sun Ce and the lord, Cao Cao in the north has been staring at Liu Yu. As long as we can hold Liu Yu back, we will conclude that Cao Cao will not let go of such a good opportunity. Xu Shu asserted.

Liu Bei had an epiphany: Yes, how did I forget Cao Cao.

Liu Bei seemed to see the hope of defeating Liu Yu.
