Liu Biao heard someone shouting, saying that he must not stop fighting with Liu Bei, so he turned his eyes to look, but found that it was Kuai Liang.

Liu Biao currently has six major strategists under his command, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Yi Yi, Wang Cang, Han Song and Fu Xi.

And this Kuai Liang can be said to be Liu Biao's first strategist, the word Zirou, a native of Yanzhong Lu in Nanjun, is the elder brother of the Kuai brothers, and his person is resourceful, proficient in astronomy, and extremely good at Soma. And Sun Jian's death is mainly Kuai Liang's strategy,

"Zirou has a different opinion?" Liu Biao saw that Kuai Liang came out to dissuade him, so he also asked seriously!

Kuai Liang thought for a while, and then said: "Lord, you can't be friendly with Liu Bei at this time, now Liu Bei is fighting on two fronts and has limited troops, so it is also the best time for the lord to attack Liu Bei!"

If Liu Bei captures Nanzhong, or even Yizhou and Hanzhong, then all the territory will be connected to the city, even if the lord takes Jiaozhou and Yangzhou, he may not be Liu Bei's opponent!

Because Liu Bei can be divided into three routes, from Jiaozhi County, Nanyang County and Yizhou respectively, and more importantly, once Liu Bei captures Yizhou, he will inevitably take the lord as the primary goal!

At this time, it is absolutely impossible to stop fighting with Liu Bei, but to take Jiaozhi County in one go, compress Liu Bei in Nanzhong, and it is best to form an alliance with Liu Zhang in Yizhou to annihilate Liu Bei's forces in Nanzhong.

In this way, the lord can get most of the land in Jiaozhou and Jingzhou, while Liu Bei's northwest division is under the school captain, Liangzhou and the Western Regions do not have a large amount of grain and grass due to geographical restrictions, so there is nothing to fear for the lord for the time being! ”

In this regard, Liu Biao calmed down and analyzed it, and then the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Kuai Liang said made sense, and then looked at Yi Yi on the side, shook his head and asked:

"Zirou, how should the Pound army in front of such an army be hostile?"

"The lord is not afraid of Pound, but Pound has an invulnerable alien army under his command. Therefore, the lord only needs to send more details to find out the details of this alien army and understand its shortcomings, so that he can win the battle in one battle! Kuai Liang suggested.

Liu Biao shook his head, and then said: "I have already arranged this matter, but Pang Dexun is very secretive about this army, so there is no definite news for the time being!" ”

Kuai Liang also felt that it was such a thing after hearing this, so he said again: "Lord, Liang still has a plan, maybe he can help the lord!" ”

"Oh, that's it, please say it quickly!"

"Now the lord's forces are scattered, and there are garrisons in the east of Yulin County and in the south of Hepu County to defend Gan Ning and Yuan Shu, so for the lord, the troops are scattered!

However, if the lord gave up Hepu County or handed over Hepu County to Yuan Shu, he would be able to lead Yuan Shu to fight with Gan Ning for Hepu County, or join Yuan Shu to attack Pang De.

In this way, the lord not only has nearly 250,000 troops, but also may have Yuan Shu's 100,000 troops to help, with more than 300,000 troops to jointly attack Pang De, even if he is captured alive, he can capture Liu Bei's 50,000 alien army alive! Kuai Liang suggested.

Liu Biao hesitated a little and said: "Although Hepu County is located in the south and is not rich, it has a lot of population and resources, so it is a little ...... to give it to others so simply."

Without waiting for Liu Biao to finish speaking, Kuai Liang interrupted again: "Lord, why not exchange a small county for the remaining three counties in Jiaozhou?" There's even the land of the South and the Middle East! ”

The more Liu Biao thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and finally decided not to send Liu Bei again, but to send an envoy to Yuan Shu, willing to exchange Hepu County for Yuan Shu's 150,000 troops to jointly attack Pang De!

After the envoy received the order, Liu Biao ordered the generals again: "No matter how Pang De challenges, all the soldiers must not go out of the camp to fight!" ”

……

Unlike Liu Bei's attack on Nanzhong, Cao Cao and Sun Ce in Xuzhou made relatively rapid progress.

After Cao Cao took control of the entire Pei Kingdom, he encountered the pottery merchants, Cao Bao and Sun Gan leading 100,000 troops when he entered Donghai County.

In this regard, Cao Cao did not take the 100,000 army led by the three generals in his eyes at all, but ordered Xiahoudun to lead an army of 30,000 as the vanguard, and he himself led an army of 60,000 as the Chinese army to set off to kill the potter's camp five days after Xiahoudun!

When the potters learned that Xiahou was killed, they hurriedly summoned Cao Bao and Sun Qian to discuss.

After Sun Qian came to the potter's tent and saw the potter like this, he shook his head slightly and then sighed: "I don't know what the eldest prince is looking for me?" ”

"Gongyou, Cao Cao's vanguard Xiahoudun led an army of 30,000 to kill, what should we do?" The potter asked anxiously!

Sun Qian didn't panic when he heard this, but asked, "Where has Xiahoudun arrived now?" ”

Cao Bao on the side walked to the map, and then hurriedly said: "Now that Xiahoudun has arrived here, it is less than one hundred and fifty miles away from my camp. ”

Sun Qian looked at the place Cao Bao was pointing at, and then groaned. After a long time, after the potter walked back and forth dozens of times, Sun Qian spoke: "Eldest prince, Xiahoudun will climb over this hill before he can reach it!"

The mountain was a stone mountain, and there was no water source on it, and there were no big trees, so it wasn't too difficult to attack.

If Xiahoudun camped on the mountain, then the eldest prince and General Cao could control the water source and besiege Xiahoudun respectively, so that Xiahoudun would definitely be captured after three days! ”

The pottery merchant was overjoyed when he heard this, and then he was about to open his mouth to give an order, but Cao Bao on the side said: "Although the military advisor is reasonable, there are two problems: first, Xiahou Yuan is brave, I can't stop it, and the eldest prince must not be able to stop it; Second, although Cao Cao's rear army was five days away from Xiahoudun, it was not certain that he knew that Xiahoudun was surrounded and did not march at great speed! ”

When Sun Qian heard this, he smiled slightly and said: "General Cao is reasonable, however, since it is a siege, there is no need to fight against Xiahoudun, just suppress it on the mountain with bows and arrows;

As for Cao Cao, he only needs to not let go of a subordinate under the command of Xiahou Dun, and always pay attention to Cao Cao's movements along the way, which can be avoided. ”

Cao Bao and the potter felt that it made sense, so the two acted according to the plan!

That night, Tao Shang personally led an army of 20,000 to control the water source on the mountainside, while Cao Bao led an army of 80,000 to prepare to besiege Xiahoudun!

…… On this day, Xiahoudun marched to this stone mountain, and then saw that there were not too many trees on the mountain, and it was relatively flat, so he really camped on the stone mountain.

In this regard, the potters and others were overjoyed, and that night, Cao Bao led the army to surround the Xiahoudun camp. I don't attack either.

At the same time, the potters led an army of 20,000. And with Sun Qian as the military advisor, the only water source on the mountainside was controlled!

At this point, both the potter and Cao Bao thought that this time was foolproof, but they didn't know that Sun Qian had miscalculated Xiahoudun's bravery!
