Chapter 359: Take Jingzhou
Chen Zhi almost agreed without thinking about it, but at the last moment, Chen Zhi forcibly held back.
"Lord Thorn Shi, I'm sorry, Uncle can't. Uncle Liu Huang treats me well, if I betray him, I will be that capricious villain, how can I gain a foothold between heaven and earth? There are many talents under the command of Lord Thorn Shi, and there is no shortage of uncles to one person. Uncle Zhi was defeated in the hands of Lord Assassin Shi, and he was convinced, only to die, and I wish Lord Assassin Shi to be fulfilled! ”
Listening to Chen Dao's words, Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
Why are these people so unenlightened that their heads are elm pimples?
Obviously, he is very willing in his heart, just for the sake of the so-called integrity, he is bent on death, which is really foolish!
After a long time, Lu Bu sighed and said, "Uncle Zhi is a rare talent, how can this assassin be willing to kill you?" Uncle Zhi, you will stay here well, and after a long time, I believe you will change your mind! ”
Hearing Lu Bu's words, Chen Zhi was silent.
What Lu Bu thought in his heart was, hmph, wait until I kill Liu Bei one day, it depends on how you choose.
After taking Xiangyang City, Liu Bei's forces were basically defeated in the deployment of troops in the entire Jingzhou.
At this time, it was difficult for Liu Bei to send troops and horses.
Even if you barely send 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses, it will not help at all.
The rest of the battle, with the participation of Dr. Ren, was simply overwhelming, invincible.
Many cities were directly persuaded to surrender by Dr. Ren.
……
Xun You found Lu Bu privately and secretly admonished him, saying that Lu Bu's official position for Dr. Ren was too big.
This person is a capricious villain, if he can betray Liu Bei today, he may betray the lord one day, and the lord has to guard against it.
Lu Bu smiled slightly and said: "Although Gongda can rest assured, I have to do it as a last resort because I am the general of Zhenbei. The doctor surrendered before the battle, killed Chen Rang and his 15,000 army, and surrendered Xiangyang City. ”
"If I don't bestow him on high-ranking officials at this time, it will inevitably chill the hearts of others, and when the time comes, who will be willing to submit to us? Therefore, I must give him this gift. ”
"But when the time comes, I will transfer him away and take up a post in an inconsequential place, so I will give him a rich life and find a place to retire!"
After listening to Lu Bu's words, Xun You knew that Lu Bu had already made a decision, so he was relieved.
The battle on Jingzhou's side is nearing the end and is in the stage of sweeping, and Liu Bei's forces have not been able to make any waves.
……
At this moment, Yuan Shu's distress letter arrived.
It turned out that Cao Cao had attacked Yuan Shu's forces at all costs, and by now, he had attacked the two counties that Yuan Shu had occupied earlier.
Now Yuan Shu only has two counties left, Lujiang County and Jiujiang County.
Once these two counties are broken again, then Yuan Shu will really be cornered, and there will be no place to die.
Therefore, Yuan Shucai desperately asked Lu Bu for help.
In order to let Lü Bu send troops, Yuan Shu even rewarded Lü Bu - as long as he could help him repel Cao Cao and regain the lost territory, he was willing to make Lü Bu the king side by side.
I'll take it, this Yuan Shu really dares to think about it!
However, in the end, Lu Bu still decided to send troops.
He didn't look at Yuan Shu's reward, mainly because Lu Bu couldn't tolerate Cao Cao's dead fat man taking Lujiang County and Jiujiang County.
Once Lujiang County and Jiujiang County are taken by that dead fat man, Lu Bu's Jiangdong and the northern part of Jingzhou that he just took will fall into a very dangerous situation.
Lujiang County and Jiujiang County must be in their own hands!
This time, Lu Bu decided to personally lead the team and help Yuan Shu drive Cao Cao away.
And now the question is, who is left to defend Jingzhou.
Jingzhou was originally Liu Bei's territory, and they had just beaten it down.
Once Zhuge Liang pacified Meng Shu and returned, Lu Bu didn't believe that Liu Bei would be able to swallow this breath.
Therefore, Jingzhou must leave a safe person to defend.
Before Lu Bu could think about who to leave to defend, Guan Yu took the initiative to ask: "Big brother, I am willing to stay and garrison in Jingzhou!" ”
Obediently knocked, as soon as Guan Yu opened his mouth, he startled Lu Bu.
Just kidding, no one can leave you!
In the original historical trajectory, Jingzhou was lost in your hands.
Of course, the situation is very different now than it was then.
First of all, although the current Guan Yu is still arrogant, he is at least much better than Guan Yu in the original historical estimate.
Secondly, in the original historical trajectory, Guan Yu's loss of Jingzhou had a lot to do with Liu Bei's inconvenient roads in Yizhou and Hanzhong, the lack of news, and the difficulty of support.
And now? Jingzhou borders Jiangdong, not to mention that there is a naval army, which can be supported in minutes.
Therefore, even if Guan Yu is really allowed to guard Jingzhou, there should not be much of a problem.
But Lu Bu always felt unsteady in his heart, and he had a strange feeling.
Therefore, he could only say to Guan Yu: "Second brother, I have more important things for you to do, and the matter of guarding Jingzhou should be left to others!" ”
Hearing Lu Bu say this, Guan Yu nodded arrogantly.
Look, this is a more important matter, obviously it belongs to me, as for such a trivial matter as guarding Jingzhou, I will leave it to others to do.
In the end, Lu Bu left Zhao Zilong to guard Jingzhou and Premier Xun Yu to Jingzhou.
Xun You, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu, the trio of military divisions, give people the feeling that Xun You is a cut down from Guo Jia and Jia Xu.
But in terms of defending the city, Xun You was no worse than the two of them.
Guo Jia and Jia Xu, one is a ghost and the other is a poisoner, they are both good at winning by surprise, but they are not as good as Xun Yu for defending the city.
With Xun You and Zhao Zilong here, there will be no problems in support, and Jingzhou will be foolproof.
In the end, Lu Bu left Zhao Zilong's Shenji Battalion and another 100,000 elite soldiers.
Lu Bu took the remaining 50,000 elite soldiers, as well as Guo Jia and Jia Xu, and went straight to Lujiang County and Jiujiang County.
……
At this time, Cao Cao was commanding his troops and horses to launch a fierce attack on Lujiang County and Jiujiang County.
In recent years, Yuan Shu has been arrogant and extravagant, and has spent extravagantly.
Cao Cao thought it would be easy to capture Yuan Shu.
What Cao Cao didn't expect was that Yuan Shu's city defense equipment was very sufficient, and many advanced city defense equipment made Cao Cao's Qingzhou army suffer.
If it weren't for Yuan Shu's strength being more than a step worse than Cao Cao, Cao Cao really didn't have the confidence to be able to win Lujiang County and Jiujiang County.
According to the intelligence, these city-defying equipment were invented by Pang Tong, the military advisor of Yuan Shu.
Well, this Pang Tong is a talent.
After taking Yuan Shu, I will inevitably hold this person in my hands and use it for me.
If I can't use it, I can't fall into the hands of anyone else!
At this time, Cao Cao's intelligence system reported to Cao Cao, and Lü Bu led an army of 50,000 and was marching towards Lujiang County and Jiujiang County.
After getting the news, Cao Cao couldn't help but show a cruel smile on his face.
Fengxian, you're still too naïve!
Do you naively think that I don't have the slightest defense against you?
Do you think that's possible?
Dude has been cheated by you too many times, this time, you have to let buddy pit you once, right?
