Yangzhou, wet mustache.

Early spring is approaching, and this battle for the southeast has been going on for about half a year.

Last year, Cao Yingqin led 400,000 foot cavalry from Hefei to the south, drinking horses and the Yangtze River, the army and Moling are only separated by a river, and Cao's army even stole the Yangtze River and occupied the heart of the river.

However, the Wu army under the command of Sun Quan fought back desperately, took advantage of the advantage of the water army, attacked several times, and finally recaptured Jiang Xinzhou, besieging and killing 3,000 people of Cao's army.

In today's situation, Cao's army has no water army, and it is sad to pass the Yangtze River. The Eastern Wu naval army was strong, but it did not dare to compete with the Cao army on land, so it could only rely on the naval army to show off its might on the Yangtze River.

In the early morning of this day, under the protection of the camp of the guards, Cao Ying personally arrived on the shore and once again watched the bravado of Sun Quan's sailors.

Looking at the huge warships with banners waving, going freely under his nose, Cao Ying could only look at Jiang Xing and sigh, pointed in the direction of the Wu ship with a horse whip, and said with emotion: "Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, like Liu Jingsheng's sons, all of them are dogs and dolphins." ”

Cao Ying was obviously unable to help Sun Quan, so he sighed so much, and both the left and right civil and military forces felt that their faces were gloomy, but only one person smiled slightly, it was Jia Xu.

Cao Ying's eyes were sharp, and he asked, "Why is Wen He laughing, am I not right?" ”

Jia Xu stroked his white beard lightly, with a faint smile on his white face, and said unhurriedly: "No matter how strong Sun Zhongmou is, at best, he is only worthy of being the prime minister's son." ”

Cao Ying was stunned at first, and then laughed.

In the midst of laughter, a horse galloped over, and said on the ground: "Prime Minister Qi, General Zhengnan has an urgent report." ”

Cao Yingyu immediately unraveled the urgent report sent by Cao Ren, and when he took a look, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and a touch of coldness surged between his eyebrows.

Both sides know that something must have happened in Jingzhou.

"I'm tired, let's go back to the camp first."

Cao Ying's expression immediately returned to normal, as if nothing had happened, and Le Ma slowly walked towards the camp.

The left and right civil and military knew that Cao Ying would have confidential matters to discuss after returning to the camp, so they followed them into the Chinese army's big tent.

Sure enough, as soon as Cao Yingfang sat down, he reported Cao Ren's express to everyone.

It was news that surprised everyone.

Changsha Liu Feng took advantage of Liu Bei's entry into Shu and Guan Yu went south to settle Wuxi Man, and succeeded in raiding Jiangling with surprise troops, and Cao Ren, the general of Zhengnan, took advantage of the opportunity of Liu Feng and Guan Yu to fight in the south of the Yangtze River, and acted cheaply, leading the army of Xiangyang to quickly attack Jiangling in the south.

Because the Jingzhou incident was too sudden, when this recital was issued, Cao Ren's army had already set out from Xiangyang and was on its way to Jiangling.

"Liu Feng, this kid, is really a restless person, and he gave us a big surprise."

In Cao Ying's tone, he seemed to be very pleased with the sudden change in Jingzhou.

Most of the civil and military ministers also thought that the change in Jingzhou was a great joy for their side.

At this time, Liu Bei was attacking Yizhou, and Cao Ying naturally didn't want to see Liu Bei sit big, but because he was pinned down by Sun Quan in Huainan, he couldn't spare his energy to stop Liu Bei from seizing Yizhou.

But at this juncture, Liu Feng suddenly copied Liu Bei's nest, regardless of whether this Liu Feng can defeat Guan Yu and finally seize Jingzhou, this incident alone is enough to have a huge impact on Liu Bei's army who is attacking Liu Zhang.

Moreover, what Cao Ying feared the most was the alliance between Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and now Liu Feng suddenly rose up and cut off the alliance between Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and the alliance between Liu and Sun collapsed.

At the same time, Liu Feng alone took possession of Jingzhou, forming an upstream trend towards Eastern Wu, and Sun Quan naturally would not be happy to see it. And Liu Bei, who is further upstream, will not sit idly by and watch Jingzhou fall.

In short, it seems that the biggest beneficiary of this Jingzhou change is Cao Ying.

"Prime Minister, if General Zixiao can take advantage of the opportunity to recapture Jiangling, then we can avenge the revenge of Chibi back then!"

General Zuo Yu Ban was extremely excited, although he did not personally participate in the Battle of Chibi that year, but as the first confidant general to follow Cao Ying's army, Yu Ban has always regarded the defeat of Chibi as his own shame, and is determined to one day be able to avenge this revenge.

Yu Ban has always had prestige in the army, and when he made such a generous statement, all the generals were excited, and even most of the strategists thought that this was a godsend to break the confrontation between the north and the south.

Cao Ying stroked his short beard under his chin, and his eyes gradually revealed a little smugness.

How many quiet nights, when reflecting on self-reflection, Cao Ying deeply regretted the battle of Chibi that year.

Cao Ying regretted that he should not think that he was invincible in the world at that time, and regretted that he should not have won Jingzhou Fang, and when the people's hearts were undecided, he insisted on leading the army eastward from Jiangling.

Cao Ying had imagined more than once that if he took Jingzhou without blood, just like after capturing Hebei, he patiently spent a year or two to gather the hearts of the people, and trained the only naval army that Liu Biao left behind and could compete with Eastern Wu into an elite division, and then raised troops to destroy Wu, what would the result be?

I am afraid that Liu Bei and Sun Quan have already been given the head, and the north and south of the river have been unified, and remote princes such as Zhang Zhang, Zhang Lu, and Ma Han have long been surrendered under the power of God.

And he himself, at this moment, can drink and write poems on the Tongque stage, have fun with the concubines, and enjoy his old age in peace, why should he be driven by old age, and still experience such hardships.

At this moment, Cao Ren's urgent report made Cao Ying suddenly have an illusion, as if God had given him another chance, an opportunity for him to make up for his mistakes and rewrite history.

In the big tent, there was a lot of joy.

It's just that Cao Ying, who was complacent, had a sensitive sense of smell, but he smelled a different smell among the ministers.

The eagle eyes that were deep in the eye sockets swept away, and Cao Ying saw Jia Xu hiding in the crowd, still smiling and silent.

Cao Ying knows the surname of this "poisoner" too well, and since this person has been under his command, he has never taken the initiative to give a strategy, and whenever he encounters different opinions, he always smiles and does not speak, so he looks mysterious.

This person is too self-preservation.

Cao Ying didn't like Jia Xu's surname in his heart, but the problem was that this old fox, who was nearly seventy years old, could always be counted as a last resort, and the last time he didn't listen to his advice, he insisted on sending troops eastward, but he was defeated by Chibi.

Now, Cao Ying saw his expression again, and the original excitement in his heart suddenly seemed to be poured with cold water.

"Wenhe, everyone said that I should move to Jingzhou and take advantage of the chaos to seize Jingzhou again, what do you think?" No way, Cao Ying had to ask.

Jia Xu touched his beard and said slowly: "If the prime minister wants to retake Jiangling, now is indeed the best time, if Guan Yu drags that Liu Feng in Jiangnan for a long enough time, with the ability of General Zixiao, it may not be impossible to break through Jiangling." ”

Jia Xu said halfway through his words, and deliberately sold Guanzi.

His words seemed to affirm Cao Ren's strategy, but Cao Ying could hear it, and it would be negative after affirmation.

Sure enough, after Jia Xu swallowed his saliva, he swallowed slowly: "It's just that I remembered that when the prime minister was Chibi, Liu Zhang bowed his head and called his ministers, and the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River were decided, and the prime minister had to face only the Sun-Liu coalition army in the east." Now if the prime minister takes Jiangling again, what kind of situation should he face at this time? ”

A speech, like a blow to the head, did not knock Cao Ying unconscious, but woke him up, and a trace of coolness immediately surged on Cao Ying's back.

If Jiangling is recaptured, then the situation he faces in Jingzhou will be: Liu Feng of the four counties of Jiangnan in the south, Liu Bei who is eager to recapture Jingzhou in the west, and Sun Quan, the number one enemy, in the east.

These three roads are all their enemies, and they all have a large naval army, and although they have won an important town in Jiangling, they are deeply surrounded by enemies on three sides, and the Yangtze River in the south has no water army available.

Such a situation of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the abdomen, not to mention sweeping the south of the Yangtze River with Jiangling as a base, I am afraid that it will be the battle of Chibi and the tragedy of the battle of Jiangling repeated.

A word that woke up the person in the dream, the extremely smart Cao Ying, immediately woke up from his dream of making up for the dead, his expression wiped a trace of solemnity, and asked in a deep voice: "What Wen He said is extremely true, Zixiao's move is indeed inconsiderate, what does Wen He think should be done?" ”

Jia Xu coughed lightly and said with a smile: "In the land of the four battles in Jingzhou, the second Liu and the first grandson want to monopolize it, and no one wants others to monopolize it. If the prime minister is overwhelmed by a large army, the more urgent the attack, the more likely it will be to reunite the three heroes. If the prime minister lets it go and sits idly by, these three heroes will kill each other, and the prime minister can enjoy the benefits of the fisherman, wouldn't it be wonderful. ”

"It's a good trick to sit back and enjoy the benefits of a fisherman, wonderful, wonderful."

Cao Yingmao suddenly opened, and immediately used Jia Xu's strategy to send someone to Xiangyang to give an order, ordering him to quickly withdraw from the siege of Jiangling and return to Xiangyang to watch the changes.

At the same time, Cao Ying ordered the class to return to the north, the purpose was very simple, he wanted to free up Sun Quan's hands and create opportunities for intervening in the Jingzhou Change.

……………… When the sun is shining, Nagasaka slope.

Dust and smoke billowed and covered the sky.

Liu Feng stood on the Dangyang Bridge, raised his eyes to look at the familiar field, and suddenly felt thousands of emotions in his heart.

It was here that he experienced the cruelty of the battlefield for the first time.

It was also here that he fought Xu Chu, the world's top master, for the first time, and almost died under his knife.

At the same time, it was here that he desperately protected Adou, fought side by side with Zhao Yun, and fought his way out of the siege.

Here, he buried the self-committed Mi clan with his own hands, and it was because of this that he buried all the suspicions he suffered later.

Changbanpo, Liu Feng will never forget here, this is the starting point to change the trajectory of his life.

Beside him, the long cavalry team is galloping non-stop, from last night to today, it is said that it has traveled three hundred miles, which is already the limit speed of the cavalry's rapid march.

Liu Feng retracted his thoughts, patted the panting Cao Ren beside him, and sneered: "Hard work, General Cao, you can have a good rest with a long way to go, and bear with it for a while." ”
