The princes of the world, the most low-key, are none other than Liu Bei and Liu Xuande. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After taking over Xuzhou, Liu Bei acted cautiously and did his best to be humble. Its purpose is only to avoid attracting attention, in order to seek time and space for stable development.

Dedicated to business, Liu Bei has gained a firm foothold in Xuzhou.

Liu Bei originally wanted to continue to keep a low profile.

However, Yuan Shu couldn't last long, and the feast of carving up Yuan Shu's legacy was about to begin. If you don't show your grandeur, it's too late!

……

Jiujiang, Liu Bei is determined to win.

However, the capture of Jiujiang seems simple, but it is not an easy task.

Jiujiang Shouchun is the nest of the Yuan Shu puppet Han court, and at the same time, Jiujiang, which has convenient transportation and wealth, is also a place coveted by the princes of the world.

Cao Cao and Sun Ce, although they were busy with their own wars, always kept an eye on Jiujiang, like two hungry wolves squatting outside the front and rear fences.

Cao Cao, like Liu Bei, is in dire need of room for development. All the time, I am thinking about Yuan Shu's territory.

Sun Ce was not satisfied with sticking to the south of the Yangtze River, and pondered the establishment of a base north of the Yangtze River to lay the foundation for the Central Plains in the future.

It's just that Cao Cao is subject to Yuan Shao, and Sun Ce must always be on guard against Liu Biao and Cao Sun in Jingzhou, and it is impossible for them to devote all their strength to join the gluttonous feast of grabbing Yuan Shu's territory.

Just because they can't go all out doesn't mean they won't interfere.

No one can guarantee that they will not wait for an opportunity to steal peaches and pick up ready-made bargains.

Back then, Liu Bei attacked Peiguo under Yuan Shu's rule, and Cao Cao suddenly sent troops to occupy the northern part of Peiguo and picked up a big bargain.

……

This time, Liu Bei learned a lesson and would never let the matter of Peiguo happen again.

The area of Jiujiang is not large, and the county seat under its jurisdiction is partly located along the Yangtze River in the south of Jiujiang, and part is located in the north of Jiujiang, at the junction of Yangyuxu and Xuzhou.

Liu Bei is known for his stability, and in the battle of Jiujiang, Liu Bei fought steadily. Capture a place, consolidate a place, and do not give Cao Cao and Sun Ce a chance to pick up cheap.

The towns and population of Jiujiang are mainly concentrated in the north.

In last year's war, Liu Bei had pocketed most of the cities in the north. At the same time, it also seized Quanjiao and Fuling in the south of Jiujiang.

Now, Liu Bei is actively preparing for the war and preparing to take Jiujiang completely.

The first task of this attack was to break through Shouchun and eliminate Yuan Shu and the puppet Han court. Enjoy the cheers of all the people, so that the princes of the world are impressed.

In order to achieve this strategic goal, Liu Bei made careful preparations.

According to the original plan, the Xuzhou Army will also be divided into two routes, north and south.

The Southern Route Army first captured Liyang and completely controlled the important town on the north bank of the Yangtze River in Jiujiang, in order to prevent Sun Ce from taking the opportunity to cross the river and go north.

After that, the Southern Route Army marched westward and captured Junyu and Hefei. If all goes well, the Southern Route Army will continue to advance westward, interspersed with Lu'an and Anfeng in Lujiang County, and cut off Yuan Shu's westward retreat.

The Northern Route Army continued to march step by step, capturing the towns in the northern part of Jiujiang one by one. Stabilize the rear to prevent Cao Cao from picking up the bargain again.

After the Southern Route Army interspersed with detours is completed, the Northern Route Army will launch a general attack on Shouchun and annihilate the puppet Han court in one fell swoop!

The strategic vision is perfect.

However, implementing this strategy is not easy.

Like Liu Mang, Liu Bei was not worried about Yuan Shu, but about other princes, especially Liu Mang.

On the surface, Liu Mang and Liu Bei are strategic allies. However, it does not mean that there is no conflict of interest between the two people.

And what Liu Bei was most worried about was the court struggle at the beginning of the year.

Although Liu Bei did it very skillfully and did not publicly support the little emperor Liu Xie, it was impossible for Liu Mang not to have doubts.

If Liu Mang captures Runan and Liu Bei captures Jiujiang, the two will directly border, and the relationship between the two will definitely change.

After eliminating Yuan, the two became close neighbors. Conflicts of interest are inevitable.

Liu Mang's strength is strong, and after solving the infighting in the imperial court, he can settle down and deal with the surrounding princes. And the princes bordering it bore the brunt.

With Liu Bei's current strength, it is too difficult to resist Liu Mang alone.

Making alliances and confronting Liu Mang together is Liu Bei's only choice.

Because of the Xuzhou problem, Cao Cao still hated Liu Bei. Moreover, Cao Cao Su is good friends with Liu Mang, and it is impossible to become an ally against Liu Mang at present.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou, newly defeated by Sun Ce, was seriously ill, mentally depressed, and could not hope too much.

Liu Bei can place hope on the only one who is Jiangdong Sun Ce.

It's just that Sun Ce is willing to join hands?

"It's none of my business, the Sun family naturally doesn't want to offend Liu Jiangtian. If you are concerned about your own interests, the lord should not forget that Sun Bofu is a little overlord of Jiangdong who is not afraid of heaven and earth. ”

When Director Wang said this, Liu Bei was very pleased.

It's just that Sun Ce's base is south of the Yangtze River, and Liu Mang's foundation is along the Yellow River. The two are far away from each other, how can they have a conflict?

"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit." Wang Dao pointed to the map, "Tempting it to take advantage, Sun Bofu will definitely be tempted." ”

The place where Wang Dao pointed is located in Lujiang County, Yangzhou, on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, as if he had an understanding.

If Sun Ce marches into Jiangbei and occupies the Lujiang River, it will border Liu Mang's territory. In this way, there will also be a conflict of interest between Sun Ce and Liu Mang.

And with Sun Ce's strength, it is difficult to resist Liu Mang alone, so he can only find allies to resist Liu Mang. And Liu Bei is undoubtedly the best ally.

Liu Bei occupied Jiujiang and Sun Ce occupied Lujiang, like brothers standing side by side, jointly fighting against Liu Mang, a powerful opponent in the north.

"Mr. Maohong's intention to send someone to Jiangdong to persuade Sun Bofu to march into the Lujiang River?"

Director Wang shook his head. "Sun Bofu is arrogant, and he can only indulge his pride. If it is requested, it will list many harsh conditions, and it will be commanding and dominant. ”

"This ...... What should I do? ”

"Provoke and force it, so that it takes the initiative to send troops to Jiangbei and take the initiative to seek alliances. In this way, the lord can take the initiative. ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed.

"How to provoke Sun Bofu and persecute Sun Bofu, please teach me Mr. Maohong."

Wang Dao pointed to the map and explained his ideas in detail......

Liu Bei gradually smiled, and his eyebrows were overjoyed......

……

Gather all the generals, deploy the mission, and prepare to march into Jiujiang again.

The Xuzhou Army is still divided into two routes, north and south.

Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Wang Dun, and Wu Yunzhao commanded the Northern Route Army.

The Northern Route Army, still carrying out its previous strategic intentions, fought steadily and steadily, swept away the remnants of the puppet Han army in the northern part of Jiujiang one by one, and prepared for the attack on Shouchun.

Guan Yu, Wang Dao, Zhao Yun, Shi Tianze, and Zhou Cang commanded the Southern Route Army.

The tactical arrangements of the Southern Route Army were slightly adjusted.

After capturing Liyang and controlling all the important towns along the Yangtze River, the original westward march of the whole army to Junyu and Hefei was adjusted to divide the troops into two routes.

All the way, according to the original plan, to capture Junyu and Hefei.

On the other hand, march southwest. From between Chaohu Lake and the Yangtze River, attack Xiang'an and Linhu in Lujiang County.

Attacking the army of Xiang'an and Linhu all the way, led by Wang Dao, the brave and cautious Zhao Yun was the general.

Such an adjustment is the key to motivating Sun Ce.

It's just that Sun Ce and Jiangdong's staff will act according to Liu Bei's careful planning? (To be continued.) )
