Jiangling, an important town in Jingzhou.

This is the hub of the whole of Jingzhou, and it can be driven straight north from Jiangling. It goes directly to Xiangyang, the place of governance, and to the west, you can enter Xichuan Yizhou.

The most important thing is that it is bordered by Jiangxia in the east. Directly facing Sun Quan's territory.

Controlling Jiangling can radiate most of Jingzhou.

Its importance is self-evident, so Cao Cao placed the general Cao Ren'an in Jiangling before leaving.

Use him to hold on to this crucial link.

And Zhou Yu is the idea of fighting.

……

Chaisang, Sun Quanzhi.

Zhou Yu and Sun Quan sat opposite each other, because of Sun Ce's relationship. The relationship between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu is also very good.

As long as it's not a formal occasion, the two are very casual.

"Gong Jin!" Sun Quan sighed slightly and said softly. "This big defeat, although there is no danger for the time being. But the hidden danger is even greater!

Jingzhou fell into the hands of Cao Cao, once he returned to the rear. After settling down, it will make a comeback. When the time comes, we will be in danger with Jingzhou on both sides! ”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly and did not speak.

Seeing Zhou Yu behaving like this, Sun Quan was a little puzzled.

But then his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward and spoke.

"What can Gong Jin do?"

"Don't worry, lord!" Zhou Yu waved his hand. "The lord listened to me, although this Cao Cao won Jingzhou. It seems to be powerful, but it is actually just a paper tiger.

Lord, please think, the battle of Chibi. Although Cao Cao won, he used almost all the warships and Jingzhou's naval army as bait. It can also be a big loss!

The most important thing is that he didn't realize how Jingzhou should be obtained. How should I keep it?! ”

As Zhou Yu narrated, Sun Quan, who was kneeling, kept moving forward.

"And the biggest mistake he made was to put Cao Ren in Gangneung!

Cao Ren seems to have the talent of a general. In fact, it is a waste of fame, and this person is easy to be impulsive. He loves face again, and he is impatient when things happen.

Aren't such people stationed in Gangneung just for us?

As long as the lord wants to take it, Zhou Yu will take it back for the lord! ”

The heroic and dry words made Sun Quan enthusiastic.

Because he kept moving forward, he finally ended up almost next to Zhou Yu.

Sun Quan touched Zhou Yu's back and said. "Gong Jin, Gong Jin, this is what God gave you!"

Immediately, Sun Quan seemed to think of something. His eyes flashed and he looked at Zhou Yu.

"Gongjin, don't forget. Today's new lord of Jingzhou, the one named Xu Tian!

This failure is because of this person! It was really not easy for him to be able to subdue Pang Tong! ”

"You don't have to!" Zhou Yu smiled again and waved his hand. "This person only knows some small insect carving skills, and most of the failures this time should be betrayed by Pang Tong. It shouldn't have anything to do with this person!

And the lord please think, such a big victory. This person's reputation was shocked, and he was generously rewarded by Cao Cao.

Now we must be complacent, I never thought that we would make a move. Besides, except for Cao Cao, I'm afraid no one can control this Cao Ren! ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

……

Xiakou, in the barracks.

Liu Bei walked in the camp with his hands behind his back.

Not far away, Zhang Fei exposed his upper body. Under the guidance of Zhuge Liang, he is chopping wood and doing something.

Liu Bei squinted his eyes and walked up.

"Smack!"

An arm-thick piece of wood was split in two again.

Zhang Fei gasped and spat fiercely.

"Alright, alright!" Zhuge Liang patted Zhang Fei's majestic muscles with the goose feather fan in his hand. "Rest, Wing. All of these you have chopped can be used to make a new ladder! ”

"What are you busy with?" Liu Bei's voice came from afar.

"Big brother!"

"Lord!"

They both turned back at the same time, smiling.

"This is..."Liu Bei looked at the fragments of wood on the ground and looked at Zhang Fei suspiciously.

"Oh, this is Yide going to make a ladder himself. Let me be the overseer of the work, good fellow. The ladder can't be done, and the firewood on the ground is chopped! ”

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing.

"The military advisor made fun of me again! I've been idle for a long time, and I want to be active! ”

Zhang Fei waved his hand nonchalantly.

"So you're splitting wood like this?" Liu Bei patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder. "In that case, you might as well chop these into firewood!"

Zhang Fei was helpless and pouted. Pick up the axe and go to the side to vent his brute strength.

"Yide just breathed in his heart!" Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Liu Bei while walking.

"yes!" Liu Bei sighed. "Many soldiers are holding back a lot of strength in their hearts!"

"There's one thing I've always been curious about!" Liu Bei suddenly paused and looked at Zhuge Liang. Even if Pang Tong rebelled and told Cao Cao about Zhou Yu's plan. But he didn't know about Mr. Ke's plan, how did Cao Cao know? ”

Zhuge Liang shook his fan and was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

"I've been thinking about this all these days, but I haven't come up with a reason!"

"Then don't think about it! Let's talk about the present! Liu Bei said. Soochow's side is exactly as Mr. expected, and keeps sending all kinds of military supplies!

Recently, they have been mobilizing large armies very frequently. What are they going to do! ”

"Zhou Gongjin is going to move Jingzhou's mind!" Zhuge Liang said lightly. That's why he tried his best to reassure us. Just to stabilize the rear, he will even come and ask us to send troops to help! ”

"So what should we do?!"

"Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!"

……

Jingzhou, Xiangyang City.

Since Xu Tian was promoted to Jingzhou pastor, the policy towards the people has been continuously relaxed.

Especially for the vigorous support of agriculture and the fishery that has developed because of itself, the people of Jingzhou are applauded!

On this day, Xu Tianzheng carefully looked at the contents of the wooden tablet in front of him.

A person walked in at the door and bowed to Xu Tian.

"Lord!"

"Shiyuan is here!" Xu Tian looked up at the visitor with a smile and spoke. "Sit down!"

"My lord has been busy with people's livelihood recently, which is good. However, the lord seems to have put the cart before the horse! ”

After Pang Tong sat down, he immediately spoke.

"How do you put the cart before the horse?" Xu Tian was stunned and looked at Pang Tong.

"My lord, the key to this Jingzhou is not in the people. And in the army! In the first battle of Chibi, the Jingzhou naval army suffered casualties. The prime minister left tens of thousands of horses, basically northerners, who are not accustomed to water.

Therefore, it is even more difficult to hold Jingzhou, and I just hope that the lord can prepare early! ”

"What Shi Yuan said makes a lot of sense, yes! There are many people in Jingzhou who know more about the situation than I ask myself.

Because they dreamed of it!

Therefore, many people will think the same way as Shi Yuan. I would think that the most important thing I should do is to guard against others and prevent others from committing crimes.

But, Shiyuan! There are two kinds of guarding, one is to stick to it.

This second is to attack and defend!! ”
