Chapter 707: The World is Stormy, and the People Are Panicking (II)

The aura of the soldiers who are about to come has already rushed in front of everyone.? With {dream} small ◢.1a

The news of the capture of Liaodong had already reached Jingzhou in the south and Jiangdong in mid-September, and regardless of whether the assassins were true or not, only the intention of the northern army to capture Liaodong had been fully revealed, and the letters that were conveyed to Liu Bei and Sun Quan soon after, in just a few words, were enough to make people feel uneasy.

- I'm here to collect my debts.

A total of 250,000 soldiers and horses from the two routes of the Western Expeditionary Army went south, and they had crossed the Yanmen Pass and Juyong Pass to enter the position south of Bingzhou and Youzhou, and once they were killed, they could advance to Jizhou in a few days, and then enter the Central Plains. Although Yanzhou and Yuzhou in the Central Plains are still separated in the middle, the Jingzhou area in the south has already presented a panicked scene.

The temperature in autumn has not yet dropped, and occasionally a few yellowish leaves fall with the wind, and are swept up by the wind carried by the panicked pedestrians, drifting a little farther away, and falling into the middle of the street. The coachman driving the carriage anxiously waved his whip out of the city, and on both sides of the market, the open shops rarely had customers coming to the door, and it was a deserted picture.

Once upon a time, the hotly discussed Western Expeditionary Army will end the chatter of the troubled times, and become a reality, more than 200,000 troops have entered the two states, and are slowly pressing over, although the Central Plains is in the way, but it is difficult to describe the complexity in people's hearts, no one can say clearly, whether the world is at war or another way to achieve peace, at least in the current situation - Xiangyang, the Jizhou Governor's Office, has shown an atmosphere of slaughter, and Liu Bei in the city does not have the mentality of a decisive battle with it as on the surface.

"It's just the New Year, and I'm ready to go south...... I've only been in Jingzhou for a long time, and it's been less ......than two years."

“…… The persecution is too great! ”

After receiving Gongsun Zhi's letter, he understood the other party's attitude, there could be no room for tossing and turning between them, and it was obvious to tell him in just a few words: I have not done all the work of my expedition to the west, and you are waiting to cause chaos in the country! Of course, if it was placed a few months ago, he only thought that Gongsun Zhi would open his mouth and shout a few words casually, after all, he only came back, and it would take at least two or three years to recuperate, however, the news of Liaodong's ruin came, indicating that the wolf king in the north was very serious about this, since Liaodong had fought and the army had begun to move south, would Jingzhou also have to fight? What about the foundation that has been put in place with great difficulty?

Different from the complex minds of the common people, the first battle after the return of the northland army wiped out the two counties of Liaoxi and Liaodong, as Liu Bei, who has been fighting in the south and north for many years, naturally knows where his advantages and disadvantages are with the other party. However, since the army will go south, since it will send someone to send this letter with only a few words, it will definitely hit Jingzhou, and it will not even stop at Jingzhou.

"Military advisor, Sun Ce's incident has made people hold a grudge before, and now that the North Subway is heading south, the Central Plains Cao Thief and Gongsun Zhi are all raccoon dogs, maybe they will send troops to assist, in this way, won't my Jingzhou become a must-kill place for more than 200,000 opponents, it is better to retreat to Jiangdong, and then refuse to defend with the danger of the Yangtze River?"

In the Xiangyang Mansion, Liu Bei gathered all the civil and military forces in the city to discuss countermeasures. After hearing his words, the second seat on the left, Zhang Fei, who was tied with a tiger beard, smashed his fist on the desk, and shouted in a rude voice: "Big brother, aren't we going to send someone under the fence again?" ”

The main hall of the council suddenly quieted down, and the old ministers who followed Liu Bei all the way were even more uncomfortable when they heard this. Guan Yu squinted slightly, glanced at the wine stains on the table that were shaken by him, and said in a low voice: "This is a matter of discussion, don't make a noise to the eldest brother." ”

"It's okay, Yide is such a character, if it's an astronomical crepe, I'm afraid of my brother." Although Liu Bei was anxious in his heart, he was still calm at this time, and then he looked at the seat on the right, "Military Division, how about retreating to Jiangdong and alliing with Sun Quan again?" ”

Sun Qian, the Mi brothers, Chen Zhi, Liao Hua and others, and the rest of the people all looked over.

On the right seat, Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan, with a slight bruise on the corner of his mouth, and he smiled: "Lord, I agree with what the three generals said in this matter, sending people to the fence is just a strategy after all, if it is not forced by the situation, Chu Liang would not have suggested retreating to Jiangling, and united Sun Quan to burn Chibi, but now it is not as urgent as before." ”

"The military advisor must have a plan in his heart to deal with it, so say it quickly."

Liu Bei hurriedly got up, stretched out his hand and made a 'please' motion, only to notice that he was a little out of shape, and sat back down, asking the servants to serve wine and meat to the Wenwu.

Zhuge Liang, who was sitting there, looked at the map hanging on the side of the first place, his calm eyes with a smile, swept the people around him, and then got up and walked over.

"There are many cavalry in the north, the Central Plains is flat, and Cao Cao will not easily fight with the other party, so he must choose to preserve his strength. If you cross the Central Plains, although there are many waterways in Jingzhou, there is no big river in the north, and there is no mountainous terrain, it is difficult to stop the cavalry from galloping, and the battle in the field will inevitably be defeated, and the refusal to defend the city will also be dragged down by the other party. And across the Yangtze River, Sun Quan has natural dangers, a warlike navy and building ships, and only needs to defend along the river, and he will definitely have no worries. ”

Liu Bei stared at the map tightly and did not speak, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei below also listened quietly to him.

“… Looking at the world, those who can stop the cavalry must be mountains and rivers, and now there are two big rivers, Cao Cao and Sun Quan each occupy one, and the rest of the mountains and rivers must belong here! The feather fan moved westward and landed on the Shu character in the west of Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang said softly: "The Shu road is difficult, the world knows it, not to mention the huge cavalry?" In addition to the southern barbarians, there are few wars, the soldiers are full of food, the people are simple, the lord gets it, thinks it is the foundation, and then goes north to seize Hanzhong as a gateway, how the situation in the world changes, and Sichuan is worry-free, when there are great changes in the world, the joint Sun Quan sent troops at the same time, and the great cause can be expected. ”

"Emperor Gaozu also originated here, and I also know it." Liu Bei said, his eyes moved away from the word Xishu, and looked at Zhuge Liang: "There are still many difficulties in entering Xichuan, Liu Zhang and Bei are both relatives of the Han family, and An can take them at will, not to mention that the Shu Road is difficult to walk, if there is no route to penetrate, I am afraid it will be difficult to enter Sichuan for several months......."

He hesitated, his face was slightly red, and he was quite embarrassed: "It's still shallow to sit in Jingzhou, and the military advisor should also know that our grain is difficult to support......

Just as he was talking, someone from outside hurriedly came in: "Lord Qiqi, Jiangdong Lu Su is outside asking to see." ”

"Hehe..." Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and turned around, arched his hand towards Liu Bei, who was on the upper position, and said with a smile: "The lord doesn't have to worry about money and food, didn't this honest man personally send it?" ”

The situation in the north is imminent, Sun Quan, who is far away in Jiangdong, is naturally restless, when he received the news, he locked himself in the study for two whole days, and the food was difficult to swallow. There will be no way out on your own.

The army in the north broke through Liaodong, and the news of going south after getting its baggage had crossed the Yangtze River to his desk, so he had to send Lu Su to cross the river to Jingzhou under strong pretenses, and once again united with Liu Bei to block the Gongsun soldiers and horses who might directly cross the Central Plains, and between the two places, the messenger named Lu Su went back and forth several times, and finally the other party put forward some conditions, and for money and grain, he was not lacking, after all, he rarely crossed the river to fight, and there was a lot of surplus grain in the treasury. However, in mid-October, after handing over the grain and straw, Sun Quan got the news that Liu Bei was about to lead the army into Shu, as if it was like a thunderbolt on the head on a sunny day, and he had a headache and a split brain.

"Liu Xuande......" Sun Quan's voice roared in the hall, "... You big-eared thief! ”

On the other hand, the situation in the north was pressing, so he naturally did not dare to easily move troops to attack Jingzhou, so he had to suffer this dumb loss, and transferred Zhang Zhao, who was far away in Huiji, back and asked the other party. After that, Sun Quan looked at Jiaozhi.

In the fourteenth year of Jian'an, in the tense atmosphere of the North Metro's southward movement, everyone in the world is playing their own minds, or making efforts to avoid the edge. Xuchang, Yushi Wang Lang rode a carriage to the north bank of the Yellow River again, and among the troops that went south, he met the governor of the north, Gongsun Zhi. In Jingzhou, a scribe named Pang Tong was introduced to Liu Bei's account, and then discussed the matter of entering Shu......

In the midst of the turmoil in the world, a 'small' incident happened in a corner of Liaodong.

"Your Excellency, Lie ... you hemp... Sheng (I Cheri Aso) "On the humble carriage, the Japanese who had left admired the stronger army returned, and then saw Pan Feng, who was in a good mood.

Wu Anguo rode on the war horse, turned his head and whispered: "Old Pan, that barbarian seems to be scolding your mother......"

"Ahh

On the war horse, the figure with a big waist and a round waist had a hideous face, and he waved the giant axe angrily: "Bi Qi Niang, dare to scold my mother, kill you, ahahahah-"
