Chapter 660: Cutting Jingzhou (Plus)

Liu Wei's army headed towards Jingzhou, naturally using Yuzhou as the foundation to attack Jingzhou.

However, he, Zhuge Liang and others led the people, and before they arrived in Yuzhou, the information of Da He had already been delivered to him.

Liu Wei naturally quickly learned that Jingzhou had fallen into the hands of Cao Cao.

I have to say that this is indeed a very surprising thing, he thought that Sun Quan would take Jingzhou, but he never thought that Cao Cao would take Jingzhou.

I've been busy for so long, but I still have to make a wedding dress for Cao Cao?

"Now that Cao Cao has taken Jingzhou, then Your Majesty, do we still want to continue to attack Jingzhou?" At this time, Huang Zhong on the side asked.

As the first person to follow Liu Bian, he was clear about Liu Bian's evaluation of Cao Cao, so he was under the influence of Liu Bian.

Huang Zhong also knew that Cao Cao was not comparable to a person like Liu Biao, and it was precisely because of this that he knew that if Cao Cao controlled Jingzhou, the difficulty of capturing Jingzhou would naturally be self-evident.

"Naturally, I'm going to see it." Liu Wei also knew what Huang Zhong meant, so he immediately spoke.

It's certainly more difficult, but it's not impossible.

And Liu Wei also knew that if he wanted to dominate the world, it would definitely be impossible to deal with Cao Cao.

Therefore, this time there is no need to retreat like this because it is Cao Cao.

"Yes, although Cao Cao doesn't know what method he used to take Jingzhou now, but as soon as Jingzhou is settled, the people's hearts will inevitably be unstable, and it is impossible for the troops of Yanzhou and Qingzhou to go directly to Jingzhou."

Zhuge Liang also frowned at this time, looked at Liu Bian, and said.

"What Kong Ming said is good, and this is exactly what I think."

This is his chance, if he can't take Jingzhou at this time, it will be even more difficult to take Jingzhou in the future.

The importance of the nine counties of Jingzhou is no worse than that of Yanzhou and Qingzhou now.

Even if it were himself, he would rather have the nine counties of Jingzhou than Yanzhou and Qingzhou.

Occupying Jingzhou, you can not only enter Sichuan, but also cross the river, and you can also capture Jiaozhou.

You must know that Liu Bei in history didn't start his fortune in Jingzhou.

Although history has changed now, the importance of Jingzhou and its geographical location have not changed.

The importance of the status of the nine counties of Jingzhou is still so important.

If Cao Cao completely dominates Jingzhou, then at that time, even if he takes Yanzhou and Qingzhou, it will be impossible to completely defeat Cao Cao.

Originally, Lu Bu was still in a very happy mood after returning to Liu Wei, but now it suddenly became complicated.

Cao Cao, Cao Cao, you're really going to make trouble for me.

Originally, he still thought that he would take Lu Bu, and when the time came, he would be able to use the method of encirclement and suppression to completely solve Cao Cao.

But now it seems that this goal is difficult to achieve, and now Jingzhou has become a new point for Cao Cao.

"The army continues to advance and speed up the march." Liu Wei looked at everyone and ordered.

No matter what the result is, he must capture Jingzhou, and he must give it a try regardless of success or failure.

Liu Wei even had the illusion that he was now leading tens of thousands of troops to attack Jingzhou and go south.

If it weren't for the fact that Qingzhou and Yanzhou were not taken, and he occupied Xiliang again, he would have a bit of Cao Cao's appearance in history.

However, Liu Wei knew that this was just an accident, after all, Cao Cao's current power has the nine counties of Jingzhou.

In this way, Cao Cao's strength cannot be underestimated in an instant, although he surrounded Qingzhou and Yanzhou.

But in the same way, Cao Cao was also nailed to his hinterland, as if he could bite himself at any time.

He must send men and horses to defend near Yanzhou and Qingzhou at all times.

In this way, for the containment of their own troops, then it is a large amount.

The army continued to advance, and finally six days later, Liu Wei led the men and horses to Runan.

If Jingzhou wants to attack Yuzhou, it must start from Runan, and similarly attack Jingzhou from Yuzhou, and Runan is also the best choice.

It is not difficult to attack Xinye and Jiangxia in Jingzhou, and to retreat to defend Runan.

After Liu Bian's army arrived, in the direction of Runan, Hua Xiong, Dian Wei and Xun You also went out of the city to meet Liu Bian.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for subduing Lu Bu, but it's a pity that this Liu Biao actually chose to return to Cao Cao." Xun You looked at Liu Wei and said.

"This Liu Biao is a relative of the Han family, and now he would rather give up this Han territory to others."

When he said the back, Xun You looked very angry.

Liu Wei also knew why Xun You was like this, because when he was in Luoyang, he was already clear about Xun You's loyalty.

In fact, now that this is the case, he has no good impression of Liu Biao.

This Liu Biao really hates himself to the core, and would rather let Jingzhou out than make himself feel better.

"The army will rest for two days first, Gongda, you send spies to Jingzhou to investigate, and prepare to go on the expedition."

Liu Wei looked at Xun Yu and said, it just so happened that he could wait for Guan Yu to send someone to send Liu Qi over in the past two days.

Liu Biao actually made trouble for himself like this, so he naturally wanted to make Liu Qi suffer.

When the time comes, I will use Liu Qi to go to Jingzhou to test Liu Biao and see what Liu Biao wants to do.

"Your Majesty, it's time for meals." Lu Qiling came to Liu Wei's room with the food and said.

"Well, put it down." Liu Wei looked at the map of Jingzhou, and then said without raising his head.

"Your Majesty, since you came to Runan, you have been studying this map, and you still have to take care of your own body."

Lu Qiling looked at Liu Wei with some distress and said, it was the first time she had seen Liu Wei so serious.

She also understood that although Liu Wei looked a scoundrel on the surface, there was a lot of serious effort in it.

"This attack on Jingzhou is not trivial, so naturally it is not to be careless." Liu Wei glanced at Lu Qiling and said.

"But Your Majesty, there are so many ministers and generals under your command, do you still need to do it yourself?" Lu Qiling looked at Liu Wei and continued.

She thought it was okay to take a break once in a while, but Liu Wei didn't.

"If the monarch and the minister work together, then they can be invincible." Liu Wei knew that Lu Qiling cared about herself, and if she didn't eat, it was estimated that she would continue to talk.

In this case, I still don't have time to think.

So Liu Wei simply got up with a wry smile, and then sat down to prepare for dinner.

I have to say that during this period of time, Liu Wei still feels Lu Qiling's virtuousness, although she still can't do a lot of things.

When Liu Wei was having dinner with Lu Qiling, Zhao Yun's voice rang out.

"Your Majesty, General Guan has sent someone to escort Liu Qi to Runan."

"Bring him in." Liu Wei was a little surprised, this Guan Yu's speed was really fast.

But this is fine, in this way, I don't have to worry about when Liu Qi will be sent over.

Zhao Yun answered and then turned around and left, Liu Qi naturally couldn't have been escorted to Liu Wei at the beginning.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to escort Liu Qi here?" Lu Qiling looked at Liu Wei and said.

Although she hadn't seen Liu Qi, she still remembered the name, after all, this person almost became her husband.

"Hmm." Liu Wei didn't think about it so much for a while, of course he didn't know what Lu Qiling thought, so he nodded directly.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Yun had Liu Qi taken to Liu Wei's room.

"Liu Wei, what do you want to do, you brought me to Runan, have you thought it through, and you can't let me go?"

Liu Qi looked at Liu Wei and said, but as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed Lu Qiling on the side.

He had only one thought, beauty.

"Bold, Liu Qi, now Miss Lu is His Majesty's woman, you dare to look at it so directly." Zhao Yun immediately scolded.

Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, his surname was Lu, but no matter how beautiful he was, he wouldn't be as beautiful as Lu Qiling, although he hadn't seen it, he had already inquired.

"Hmph, it's just a faint king, you can release me quickly." Liu Qi immediately spoke.

"Let you go, I still want to invite you to drink my and Qiling's wedding wine."

After Liu Qi heard this, he was immediately struck by lightning, "Lu Qiling? ”

He suddenly felt like he had a patch of green above his head.

"Yes, and I might as well tell you that Liu Biao has now returned to Cao Cao, and Jingzhou is no longer your father and son's."

"Impossible, impossible, this impossible." Liu Qi suddenly said as if he was crazy.
