Not only Zhuge Liang thinks so, but the soldiers in the army also think so, after the defeat of Xiangyang, the soldiers in the army are already panicked, they don't want to experience the war with Cao's army again, and it is most appropriate to evacuate Jingzhou as soon as possible.

Even if Guan Yu is brave, in the face of such a situation in the army, it is in vain, the officers and men in the army have lost their fighting spirit, and the loss of Jingzhou has become inevitable.

Since Cao's army came to Jiangling, after the siege equipment was ready, they continued to attack the city day and night.

Cao Cao learned that Sun Ce actually captured Guiyang County and Lingling County, not only sighed Sun Ce's luck, although the four counties of Jingnan were rich, the defenders were relatively weak, at this time the most elite soldiers in Jingzhou were on the battlefield of Xiangyang and Jiangling, all of which were encountered by the Cao army, and the most important means for the Jingzhou army to resist the Jiangdong army was to break through the Cao army when supporting Xiangyang, and the sudden attack of the Jiangdong army made the Jingzhou army suffer heavy casualties, so that the speed of the Jiangdong army to break through the four counties of Jingnan was naturally extremely fast, The same thing was put on him, and he could also seize the four counties of Jingnan so quickly.

However, compared with the four counties of Jingnan, it is much worse, as long as the four counties of Jingnan can be captured, and the four counties of Jingnan can be attacked in the future, it is a very simple thing for Cao Cao, in front of the Jingzhou army, the Jiangdong army is extremely elite, but in Cao Cao's eyes, the Jiangdong army is just like this, if it is a battle on the river, the Cao army is not the opponent of the Jiangdong army, but on the plain, the Jiangdong army is at a disadvantage, just the strength of the cavalry, the Cao army can crush the Jiangdong army.

In the city of Chengdu, Liu Bei was under tremendous pressure, especially since the Cao army broke through Nanyang County, the worry has never stopped, but at this time, Yizhou is not very stable, if he leads the troops to support Jingzhou, Yizhou is unstable, he can only pin all his hopes on Zhuge Liang, and this news has also caused the shock of Yizhou's high-level.

After the failure of the Jingzhou Navy and the news that the Jiangdong Army broke Jiangxia County and Changsha County, Liu Bei was furious, the Jiangdong Army actually attacked Jingzhou at such a critical moment in Jingzhou, if Jingzhou was broken by the Cao Army, how could the Jiangdong Army be good, the angry Liu Bei scolded Sun Ce for being short-sighted, and even called Sun Ce a traitor, even if Sun Ce heard it, he would not mind, because when Liu Biao was alive, he often called the Jiangdong Army like this, but Sun Ce was still a prince, which is the benefit of having strength.

"Lord, now the situation in Jingzhou is critical, but Yizhou is unstable, if you send soldiers to support Jingzhou, it will not play a big role, the Sichuan soldiers have experienced very few wars in recent years, and the Cao army is brave and good at fighting, if the Yizhou army has losses, it will be extremely unfavorable for the lord to rule Yizhou." Fa Zheng said in a low voice, he didn't understand Liu Bei's worries, but the situation in Yizhou did not allow Liu Bei to send troops to rescue Jingzhou.

When Xiangyang City was breached, Cao's army was under Jiangling City, and only Wuling County was in the hands of Jingzhou Army in the four counties of Jingnan After the news reached Yizhou, Liu Bei's hands trembled slightly, Jingzhou is of vital significance to him, and it is an important place for Jingzhou, Yizhou army and Central Plains princes to compete for the world in the future.

But as a prince, he doesn't want to give up so easily, and Liu Bei is a model of the princes who are unwilling to give up, and he stands up again after repeated failures.

No matter how many setbacks he endured, it seems that it is nothing to Liu Bei, the failure of Jingzhou this time, but Liu Bei has been greatly touched, and the whole person also looks a little old, when Zhuge Liang planned the world for him, Jingzhou is a vital link in the struggle for hegemony in the world, if Jingzhou is in his hands, he can contact Sun Ce to fight against Cao Cao, and Yizhou soldiers and horses can wait for the general trend of the world to change, from Yizhou directly attack Chang'an, and achieve a hegemony.

Accomplishing great things is a great temptation for any prince, and no one can stay awake from such temptations.

"Filial piety, could it be that the sky is going to kill my big man?" Liu Beiyan burst into tears when he said this.

Fa Zheng hurriedly persuaded: "Lord, even if Jingzhou is lost, it is still a land of beneficial state, the land of Yizhou, fertile for thousands of miles, millions of people, there are 100,000 elite soldiers under the command of the lord, to be trained, to wait for the world to change, from Shu to send troops, there is no opportunity to revitalize the Han Dynasty." ”

"I hope Xiaozhi can help General Ben." Liu Bei arched his hand.

"It's a matter of subordination." Fa Zheng's heart was full of joy, from Liu Bei's words, he could feel Liu Bei's dissatisfaction with Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang's existence is definitely not a good thing for the family in Yizhou, Zhuge Liang is the most important adviser under Liu Bei's command, but Zhuge Liang is a person from Jingzhou, representing foreign forces, at this point, the family of Yizhou is relatively repulsive, even if the family of Yizhou is fighting with each other, they do not want the foreign family to enter Yizhou and seize benefits from their hands, This is also the reason why many families in Yizhou resisted Liu Bei's entry into Yizhou.

No family is willing to give up the interests in their hands, if Jingzhou is broken by Cao Cao, Jingzhou officials will inevitably pour into Yizhou, and the impact on the Yizhou family is huge.

Even though the strength of the Yizhou family is strong, but Liu Bei is the lord of Yizhou, and Liu Bei's means are not like Liu Zhang, this is a decisive person, as for Liu Bei's benevolence in front of others, it makes the family more vigilant, judging from Liu Bei's past behavior, he is definitely a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

The officials of Yizhou were respectful to Liu Bei, but they were secretly observing Liu Bei, and Liu Bei's strength was sharply reduced after Jingzhou was broken by Cao Cao, which worried many families, and the reason why they chose Liu Bei was to take a fancy to Liu Bei's strength, so that the Yizhou family could protect the interests of the family in the troubled times.

"If Jingzhou can't be held, then order Yun Chang and Kong Ming to withdraw their troops." Liu Bei sighed.

"Whoa." Fa Zheng said that the defeat of the army in Jingzhou has become inevitable, and the Cao army and the Jiangdong army will not let Liu Bei's strength continue to survive in Jingzhou.

However, what makes the Yizhou family excited is that after Zhuge Liang and other officials from Jingzhou arrived, it means that Yizhou has become the court of the Han Dynasty, which is still more important for the Yizhou family, to be able to have righteousness as a support, Yizhou's officials are standing above the righteousness, and even ranking as the third duke, it is possible, Yizhou's members also have their own ideas, who doesn't want to be a very human minister, even if the Han family has completely declined in the eyes of the princes, can get such an official position, It is of vital importance to their family.
