Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

"Zirou, two months have passed now, but Dejun and Dechu still can't make any progress, if it goes on like this, I'm worried that there will be problems......" Liu Biao muttered, his brows furrowed, his face was gloomy, obviously the current situation made him extremely annoyed.

In the past, when he sent troops to Jiangdong, Liu Biao was full of confidence, because in his opinion, Yuan Shu, who had returned to Jiangdong, had lost his former strength and had become a lost dog that he could bully wantonly. But the current situation made him suddenly realize that the lost dog he imagined was actually just a sick tiger, and the tiger's condition was still slowly recovering.

But when you think about it, it's not surprising that this is the way it is. From the past to the present, the war between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao was almost initiated by Yuan Shu. Subsequently, Nanyang and Yuzhou were lost one after another, but neither of them relied on Liu Biao himself, but because Yuan Shu's main force was at war with other forces.

Although Yuan Shu's power has decreased a lot after retreating to Jiangdong, it is actually only what it seems on the surface. Because Runan County, Yuzhou, Lujiang and Jiujiang, Yuan Shu took the initiative to let them out. Moreover, while retreating south, Yuan Shu also took a large number of people, money, food, military supplies and troops from these places.

In this case, although Liu Biao gathered more than 100,000 troops and sent out all the generals and strategists under his command, it was reasonable that he could not achieve any advantage in just two months. After all, Yuan Shu in the past was pressing Liu Biao to fight.

"The lord doesn't have to worry, the reason why Yuan Shu can occupy the advantage now is only because he took a lot of money, food, and troops with him when he retreated south, which made Yuan Shu's territory shrink, but the troops actually did not have much loss. It's just that this advantage is only temporary, Jiangdong is a barren land, and it has just been occupied by Yuan Shu for a short time, so it is too late to expand production. As long as the lord maintains the offensive, it is believed that it will not be long before Yuan Shu will be defeated because he cannot afford the attrition of the huge army. Kuai Liang chuckled when he heard this, and he didn't seem to be worried about the current situation at all.

"But in this way, the consumption of our army must be greater, although Jingzhou has not experienced too many wars in recent years, but if it goes on like this, even if it occupies Jiangdong, our army will suffer heavy losses. When the time comes, how will they resist the invasion of the north? The worry on Liu Biao's face did not disappear because of Kuai Liang's words, but became more sad.

Hearing Liu Biao's words, Kuai Liang's brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. But in an instant, he would return to his usual appearance, looked at Liu Biao and said with a smile, "Don't worry, according to the intelligence, although Zhao Gong has captured the Chang'an city wall, he has fallen into a bitter battle in the streets and alleys of Chang'an." Although it is impossible to get accurate figures, the Yellow Turban Thieves still have at least more than 300,000 troops, and there is an imperial city that can be retreated, at least within half a year, Zhao Gong will not be able to occupy Chang'an. ”

"As for the Kanto, although the alliance of Zheng Gong and Yan Gong is quite huge, they have not achieved any advantages now. In a short period of time, it is simply impossible to care about the south. Kuai Liang said respectfully, "As long as the lord can capture Jiangdong, he will not only have a vast territory, but also hold all the Yangtze River natural dangers in his palm!" At that time, the lord will be able to recuperate with peace of mind, govern the locality, develop armaments, cultivate talents, and sit back and watch the dragon and tiger fight in the north. And even if the northern forces are too strong, the lord can retreat to the Yangtze River. ”

"Well......" Liu Biao groaned when he heard this, and nodded after a long while, "What Zirou said is very true, but I am too worried." ”

"The lord is just too sympathetic to the soldiers, and he can't bear to have too many casualties......" Kuai Liang hurriedly sent a praise song when he heard this, but in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, "The lord seems to have been comfortable for too long, and he is also old, but his ambitions in the past are ...... Alas......"

And when Liu Biao hesitated, Yuan Shu also had a headache.

"Hmm...... Although Bo Fu's words are very reasonable, they are not too risky? Yuan Shu frowned deeply, looked at Sun Ce with a solemn expression and groaned.

"Father, Erchen and Gongjin have been discussing for a long time, and they all think that this is the best opportunity to wave their troops to counterattack! Moreover, it is also necessary to counterattack as soon as possible and defeat Liu Biao as soon as possible! Sun Ce said loudly, his tone full of firmness. Obviously, Yuan Shu's expression did not make Sun Ce waver in any way.

Hearing this, Yuan Shu's brows furrowed even deeper, but he didn't know how to refute it, because Sun Ce's proposal sounded very reasonable. In desperation, he had to turn his head to look at Yan Xiang and Yang Hong.

However, after seeing Yuan Shu's eyes, Yan Xiang and Yang Hong did not immediately help persuade Sun Ce as before, but still lowered their heads and pondered.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu could only reluctantly remind, "Bofa, Gongguang, I don't know what you think about this?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Wu's proposal is also quite reasonable, and now our army can occupy the advantage, but only because of the benefits of the Yangtze River and the money, food, and troops brought when going south. But in the long run, with the barrenness of the land of Jiangdong, ......" Yang Hong said respectfully, although he did not finish all his words, but the meaning was already very obvious.

"The minister also thinks that our army has the advantage in the current war. In this case, it is better to take the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive. Yan Xiang agreed.

Hearing the words of these two people, Yuan Shu had to carefully consider Sun Ce's proposal. Speaking of which, although Sun Ce's proposal was a bit risky, it actually sounded quite reliable, after all, it was planned by Zhou Yu in detail. It's just that since the retreat to the south, I don't know if it's because Yuan Shu began to reflect on his past impulses or because of something else, Yuan Shu, who originally didn't put the people of the world in his eyes and acted in a very radical way, began to become conservative.

It's like this time Huang Zu attacked Yuzhang, and he was defeated by Zhang Xun several times, but Yuan Shu strictly ordered him not to pursue, and missed several opportunities to expand the results of the battle in vain. Well...... Maybe this is called being bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope, right?

"Is my father worried that once he starts a counteroffensive, he may be taken advantage of by the enemy? If that's the case, don't worry! Erchen has already discussed with Gongjin, and they all believe that the launching point of the counterattack should be in Changsha County! Seeing this, Sun Ce hurriedly continued to persuade.

"Changsha?" Yuan Shu was stunned when he heard this, he thought that Sun Ce was planning to directly counterattack Jiujiang and Lujiang, after all, it was once his territory, and many officials were his old subordinates.

"Not bad! It's Changsha! Sun Ce nodded in response, his eyes exuding an unusually bright brilliance.
