A few days later, when Lu Su followed Ge Liang to Jiangling City, Liu Bei had already led the army outside the city to meet the resettlement people, he wanted to know how Liu Bei successfully entered Jiangling, it was inconvenient to ask Liu Bei, so he only asked Ge Liang about it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ge Liangcai didn't tell him, he suggested that Liu Bei leave the people temporarily, let Zhao Yun and Wei Yan lead the army to wear the clothes taken from the dead army of Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry that day, pretend to be Cao's army into Jiangling, gather them together in the name of gathering all the officials to arrange the reception, and then immediately control them, and then open the city gate to welcome Liu Bei's army into the city, thus quickly occupying this fortified city. There were also many soldiers and civilians in the city who were unwilling to surrender to Cao Cao, and the reception was very smooth.

Ge Liang just smiled and said to Lu Su: "Brother Zijing, are you still worried about the appeal of my lord in Jingzhou?" The soldiers and civilians of Gangneung City opened the gates of the city to welcome my lord. ”

Lu Su didn't want to ask again, thinking that Cao Cao was about to lead his army over to besiege Jiangling, so it was better to talk to Liu Bei about the alliance earlier, so he asked Liu Bei: "I don't know how General Zuo plans to resist Cao's army?" After all, it is a lonely city, and if it has been besieged for a long time without foreign aid, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it. ”

This Lu Su is too fine, and he always wants to lure Liu Bei to beg him first! Ge Liang immediately said to Liu Bei: "My lord, Zijing was entrusted by their General Sun to discuss with you how to join forces to deal with Cao Cao. ”

Liu Bei was very happy to hear this, and said to Lu Su: "Jiangdong is downstream of our Jingzhou, if Jingzhou falls into the hands of Cao Cao, he will go down the river in the future, but I am afraid that Jiangdong will not be able to escape the military disaster." If General Sun can abandon his previous suspicions, resist Cao Cao with Liu Bei, and protect the Han Dynasty, it will be the luck of Jingzhou, Jiangdong, and the world! After being reminded by Ge Liang a few days earlier, he had already thought of a way to deal with it, and he said it neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Lu Su didn't bother to remember, after all, he didn't expect to talk about union with Liu Bei on such an occasion in advance, and it was still a question whether Sun Quan would agree, so he went back and asked for instructions first, so he said goodbye to Liu Bei and asked him to send Zhuge Liang to Jiangdong to discuss specific joint matters.

Liu Bei grabbed him: "Zijing is not in a hurry, my second brother and the eldest prince's fleet are about to arrive in Jiangling, why don't you go back through Jiangxia with the eldest prince's fleet then." He also asked Lu Su to take a look at the naval forces he had to increase Sun Quan's confidence.

As he was talking, the sentry horse flew and reported: "General Guan's fleet is about to arrive at the South City Gate. It turned out that Guan Yu met Liu Qi's army on the road who wanted to go to Xiangyang to find Liu Cong to explain the law, so he stopped him and asked him to come to Jiangling to arrange the future anti-Cao plan.

Lu Su knew that Liu Qi could not leave right now, and said to Liu Bei: "The general is in military affairs, so I won't bother, so I will leave it for the time being, and only ask the general to send Zhuge military division to Jiangdong as soon as possible." ”

Ge Liang watched Lu Su get on the boat and leave, and always felt as if there was one more thing he hadn't done, but he couldn't remember it all of a sudden.

Liu Bei led Liu Qi to inspect the city, after all, Liu Qi is Liu Biao's eldest son, so that he can better unite the anti-Cao heart of those who are still loyal to Liu Biao, and then convene the civil and military forces to discuss military affairs.

Ge Liang said: "Now that Cao Cao has just taken over Xiangyang, and the military strength has not yet had time to deploy, we should send people to contact various places as soon as possible to win more people from Jingzhou to fight the enemy together with us." He deliberately proposed Li Yan, who was stationed in Zigui, and proposed to send Jian Yong to contact Li Yan first, and then go to Yizhou to win Liu Zhang's support.

Liu Bei is not very familiar with Li Yan, but it is necessary to get in touch with Liu Zhang as soon as possible, didn't Zhuge Liang say that he wanted to take over Jingzhou and Yizhou, and it would be better to lay out the layout as soon as possible.

Xu Shu felt that he could also contact the four southern counties, before Cao Cao took Jiangling, he should not send troops over there, and those officials should also take a wait-and-see attitude for the time being, and it is entirely possible to win over some of them.

Ge Liang slapped his forehead and secretly scolded himself for being stupid, why didn't he think of it at all, is it still used to thinking about problems according to the fait accompli of the Three Kingdoms? immediately asked Liu Qi: "Does the eldest prince still have a brother stationed in Changsha County?" ”

Liu Qi nodded and said, "Yes, but I don't have much contact with him." ”

Ge Liang secretly scolded Liu Qi for knowing how to eat, drink and play, but if he was too smart and would hinder Liu Bei from commanding Jingzhou, I really didn't know what to say about him, so he agreed with Xu Shu's proposal at the moment, and suggested to Liu Bei: "The lord may wish to repair a letter to the county officials with the eldest prince, and strive to let them stay on the sidelines for the time being, and I was thinking along the way, these 100,000 people must also arrange a part of them to go to Jiangnan, because when Cao Cao besieges Jiangling City, I am afraid that the offensive and defensive war will last for a long time, although there is enough grain and grass in Jiangling City, But the consumption of so many military and civilians is too great. ”

Liu Bei really hadn't had time to think about this, and asked Ge Liang: "Where does the military advisor think it's better to arrange them?" ”

Ge Liang was worried about Huang Zhong and said to Liu Bei: "I hope that the eldest prince can persuade his brother Liu Pan to accept a part of the people in Youxian County, and arrange a part in Jiangxia." ”

Liu Qi was grateful to Ge Liang for persuading him to go to Jiangxia to avoid disaster and save a piece of land, and said that he would write to Liu Pan immediately, and even go there in person if it was convenient.

Liu Bei also decided to send Yi to send a message to the Taishou of the four southern counties to give it a try, after all, he was Liu Biao's fellow countryman who had always followed him, and he had met with the Taishou of the four southern counties.

After discussion, it was finally decided that Guan Yu would lead the navy with Zhuge Liang to go to Jiangxia with Liu Qi to defend, because the Jingzhou navy suffered heavy losses at the beginning of the year because Huang Zu was defeated by Sun Quan, and later transferred some from Xiangyang to Jiangxia led by Liu Qi, and Guan Yu took away nearly 10,000 sailors from Fancheng on this trip, and the navy in Jiangling was just received by Liu Bei, and Cao Cao could not get much Jingzhou navy, and the navy he trained himself should not be suitable for fighting in the Yangtze River, and the strength was limited, if Jiangdong Sun Quan could really unite to resist Cao, At that time, Guan Yu and Jiangdong's naval forces had every hope of controlling the Yangtze River waterway.

Ge Liang suddenly thought in his heart and shouted long live, it seems that things may be much simpler than he imagined, as soon as this Jiangling naval army was received by Liu Bei, Cao Cao really didn't have the strength to launch an attack on the water, so wouldn't it be almost redundant to even the battle of Chibi?

Once the navy can block the Yangtze River, the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River can only choose to wait and see for the time being!

The waterway is unblocked, and Li Yan should be more confident to stay in Zigui!

If the navy attacks further and attacks Xiangyang from the Han River, Cao Cao's army may retreat faster than expected!

Ge Liang also proposed to Liu Bei to send Wei Yan to Lujiang to persuade Chen Lan and Lei Xu to make trouble, when Cao Cao could not attack Jiangling for a long time, and Lujiang rebelled, he must be worried that the rear would be unstable, and even afraid that Xu would be chaotic, and he would definitely retreat in a hurry.

Liu Bei was said to be overjoyed, although the original incident ended in failure, he firmly believed that there were still many loyal ministers of the Han family who would definitely rise up to fight back against Cao Cao if they had the opportunity.

The deployment of the Jiangling defensive battle was determined, with Liu Bei leading Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huo Jun and others to defend the city, Liu Qi garrisoning Jiangxia, Guan Yu leading the army to respond by water, and sending personnel to contact the anti-Cao forces everywhere.

As the meeting was about to end, Xu Shu mentioned a person to Liu Bei: "Did you see a person named Pang Tong among the Jiangling officials convened by the lord a few days earlier?" ”

Ge Liang suddenly made a big mistake, no wonder he always felt that there was something he hadn't done when he saw Lu Su leaving, it turned out that he had forgotten the Pang Tong that he had recommended to Liu Bei in history!
