Zhou Tai and Jiang Qinwei are unstoppable, no one in Jingzhou would have thought that Guo Jia would dare to let Zhou Tai attack, looking at the world, there is no one!

Zhou Tai Jiang Qin led his army to Xiangyang, without stopping on the road, while pursuing the scattered enemy deserters, while firmly advancing towards Xiangyang.

Soldiers are fast.

Zhou Tai Jiang Qin led the army to 20 miles outside Xiangyang City in less than five days, set up camp and did not attack the city.

The whole Jingzhou shook!

In the following days, the princes who slowly obtained the information of Jingzhou were all shocked like a thunderbolt from the sky.

Although Zhou Tai has few soldiers and horses, he has successfully created the momentum of a tiger and wolf that an elite army should have!

This is Guo Jia's intention.

If Zhou Tai is only allowed to fight Huang Zu, at best, it will be unexpected, and after Liu Biao was surprised at first, he will stabilize his mind and think about how to deal with it.

But Zhou Tai is approaching Xiangyang, and the other princes don't know what Guo Jia thinks, but Liu Biao is already so scared that the six gods have no owner!

Guo Jia is obviously going to annex Jingzhou!

And Zhou Tai's army not only killed 40,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou along the way, but also shocked Jingzhou!

The current Jingzhou army from top to bottom has changed color when it hears the Taiping army, and their combat power has been removed by at least two percent!

Fear!

Guo Jia wants Liu Biao to be afraid, and the whole Jingzhou is to be afraid!

You want to rob while the fire is hot, you want to deter intimidation.

Now, who is treating others the way they are doing?

Majestic, murderous intent.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, who were in Xiangyang, gave the entire Jingzhou such an image.

They didn't attack the city, but they had already put everyone in Xiangyang City in danger!

If it was Liu Biao, who rode into Yicheng five years ago, or even six years ago, he would definitely have the courage to break the cauldron and fight against the water.

But over the years, Liu Biaofeng, who has been pampered and immersed in the wind and snow, is exhausted, he is afraid, afraid of dying, afraid that his wife will become a prisoner, and even more afraid of cutting off his children and grandchildren!

But he would not disarm and surrender, he still had 50,000 soldiers and horses plus 10,000 remnants who fled back to Xiangyang.

Liu Biao also made a surprise attack, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun suggested making peace with Guo Jiayan, Liu Biao did not accept it for the sake of face, but sent Wen Ping to attack Zhou Tai Jiang Qin's army at night.

Wen Ping can also be regarded as a brave and resourceful general, he led an army of 20,000 out of the city in the night, from the north gate to the south of Xiangyang to attack Zhou Tai Jiang Qin.

Wen Ping is the executor of tactics, and the responsibility for victory or defeat is not actually on him.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin relied on a surprise attack to win a complete victory and kill Huang Zu, how could they be planted on the same tactics? Their next strategic deployment is to secure the fence and prevent the other side from sneaking attacks.

Wen Ping's robbery camp was blocked, and seeing that the Taiping army had already prepared, he ordered the withdrawal of the army.

Jingzhou can't afford to lose a single soldier anymore!

Liu Biao should be glad that he not only has a brave and unscrupulous general like Huang Zu, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are strong on the outside and weak on the inside, but also a general like Wen Ping who can take charge on his own.

If Wenpin hadn't withdrawn decisively and quickly, I'm afraid that Jingzhou's soldiers and horses would have suffered even more heavy losses.

The sneak attack failed, and Liu Biao was frightened.

Zhou Tai Jiang Qin is like an iron plate, kicking it, the other party does not move, and he can break his foot.

Hurriedly convened civil and military discussions.

Liu Biao had a headache, but the generals under his command did not spare words like gold at this time.

Babbling on advice.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun wanted Liu Biao to sue for peace, of course, in a decent wording, the truce was for the good of the people, for the sake of the common people in the world, and in order not to make the lives of Jingzhou miserable...... Wen Ping and Yi suggested that all the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang should be gathered to fight a decisive battle with Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, but they did not say that if they were defeated, or if there were not many soldiers and horses left after the battle, Jingzhou would not be able to stop Yuan Shu, Cao Ying, or Guo Jia from mobilizing Yizhou's army again.

As for the others, Pang Ji, Han Song, Liu Xian and others suggested that Liu Biao ask Zhang Xiu for help, Liu Biao can be said to be raising Zhang Xiu with grain and grass, and now Jingzhou is in danger, and Zhang Xiu, who has seized Wancheng, should also come to help, otherwise Guo Jia really captured Jingzhou, Zhang Xiu will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

Opinions differed, and Liu Biao was also difficult to decide.

At this moment, the sense of crisis in his heart made him relive the situation when he rode into Yicheng alone.

...... year The theory of Yongji, the plot of the criminal...... At the time of life and death, Liu Biao suddenly realized that the only people he could really rely on were Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang.

And the two brothers were silent.

Liu Biao repatriated the civil and military forces, leaving only Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang.

Over the years, Liu Biao knows the open and secret battles between the Kuai family and the Cai family, but he turns a blind eye, not because he is mediocre, but because he is half helpless, and half is happy with this situation.

Liu Biao ruled Jingzhou by the Shi clan, and now the Jingxiang clan is led by these two families.

At the same time, the lord is most afraid of the dominance of his subordinates, and the fight between the Cai family and the Kuai family is the way of checks and balances.

"Xenodu, Zirou, for the sake of today, what should I do to protect Jingzhou from Guo Jia's poison?"

Even if Liu Biao is greedy for life and afraid of death, he must show righteousness when discussing matters with his subordinates.

He is for the people of Jingzhou, not for his own livelihood.

In all fairness, the two brothers know what Guo Jia's attitude is towards the people, Liu Biao is the king of benevolence and righteousness, but he can't curb the local scholars and the powerful to deceive the superiors and subordinates, Jingzhou is peaceful in the overall situation, but it does not mean that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, but the Jingxiang clan has not done too much, not to the point of anger and resentment, and the people will endure it and give up.

Liu Biao's use of the people as an excuse to ask questions is untenable.

But the two brothers Kuaiyue and Kuailiang knew that if Guo Jia really won Jingzhou, at least half of their Jingxiang clan would turn from prosperity to decline!

Blocking Guo Jia once again is an unavoidable trend for them.

Kuai Yue said lightly: "The next strategy is to seek peace, the middle strategy is to ask for help, and the upper strategy is to go on the Northern Expedition." ”

Liu was puzzled and wanted to hear the explanation.

Kuai Yue didn't continue, but Kuai Liang lowered his head and muttered to himself.

"In today's situation, the fate of Jingzhou is no longer under the control of the lord. Sue for peace, before Guo Jia and Yuan Shao fight a decisive battle, there will be no response, and the other party will definitely delay. If Zhang Xiu comes to help, the lord can fund money and food, but the possibility of Zhang Xiu helping is very small, especially if he and the lord can have a grudge against his uncle. Lord, it is impossible for Zhou Tai to attack Xiangyang, and he is just sent by Guo Jia to bluff! At least at this time, Guo Jia did not make up his mind to attack Jingzhou, he wanted to attack Jingzhou, unless there was a result in the decisive battle in Guanzhong. ”

"What result?"

Liu Biao asked.

Kuai Liang raised his head and stared at Liu Biao, and said, "Guo Jia was defeated and led the army back to Yizhou." ”

Liu Biao was shocked and asked: "If Guo Jia is defeated, will he dare to invade Jingzhou?" ”

Sighing lightly, Kuai Liang said calmly: "Lord, if Yuan Shao wins, he will not only have three points of the world!" Guo Jia wants to compete with Yuan Shao, although Yizhou is big, it can't be compared with the six states in the world! Guo Jia wants to quickly accumulate strength, then he has to expand the territory, even if he is to lose all the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong in the future decisive battle, after he returns to Yizhou, he can recruit new troops while sending generals to lead the army to reinforce Zhou Tai to attack Jingzhou, if Guo Jia does not do this, he will be inevitably exterminated by Yuan Shao. ”

Yizhou can afford to raise an army of nearly 200,000, and after Guo Jia lost troops in Guanzhong, it was not a problem to recruit new troops in Yizhou, and it was not the source of troops that restricted the number of his soldiers and horses, but the territory.

After Liu Biao thought about it, he asked hesitantly: "Could it be that Guo Jia doesn't care about Zhang Bai's ride?" ”

In his mind, Guo Jia is defeated and returns to Yizhou, at least he has to deal with Zhang Baiqi first, on this time difference, how long can Zhou Tai's grain and grass outside Xiangyang last? Sooner or later, it will be self-defeating.

"Alas...... Jumping clown, why bother? ”

There was an indescribable frustration in Kuai's conscience.

If Liu Biao can pin his hopes on a character like Zhang Baiqi, it can be seen that today's Liu Biao is simply like a cloud compared with Liu Biao who rode into Yicheng alone.

Liu Biao saw a trace of sadness on Kuai Liang's face, and realized that it was caused by his panic.

He didn't care about adjusting his emotions now, and then asked: "Then if I lead the army to the Northern Expedition, how can I relieve the crisis in Jingzhou?" ”

Kuai Liang's expression became indifferent again, and he said softly: "Hangu Pass is empty now, as long as the lord leads the army to capture Hangu Pass, Yuan Shao will be timid, afraid that the lord and Guo Jia will attack him before and after, then he will die without a place to be buried." Yuan Shao could only retreat to Hangu Pass at that time, and the lord could join hands with Guo Jia to destroy Yuan Shao, and he could also let Yuan Shao return to Hebei, in short, Yuan Shao's intention to take Guanzhong could not be successful, as long as Guo Jia held Guanzhong, Zhou Tai's soldiers and horses in Xiangyang must retreat. ”

Liu Biao's IQ is obviously not at the usual level today, and he is still stupidly asking: "Why?" Guo Jia lost the battle and was about to come to Jingzhou, why didn't he fight Jingzhou after he won the battle? ”

Taking advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results of the battle sounds like a normal thing.

Kuai Liang closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to see Liu Biao's ignorant and stupid state at this time.

"Guo Jia has lost his troops and his strength has been reduced, he can win the battle of Guanzhong, and he has lost at least 50,000 soldiers and horses. If he can hold Guanzhong, the next step must be to recuperate, he will not come to attack Jingzhou again, the battle line is too long, the defense line is too wide, which means that Guo Jia needs more soldiers and horses, and these are what he lacks after the battle in Guanzhong, the lord, Guo Jia is defeated, within a month, he will personally wave the army to attack Jingzhou, Guo Jiasheng, Jingzhou five years worry-free! If Yuan Shao does not die, if he wants to take revenge on the lord in the future, he must at least exterminate Cao Ying first, then, it will be at least five years later. ”

In fact, the Northern Expedition is to contain Yuan Shao, so that Guo Jia can hold Guanzhong as he wishes, as long as it is related to Guanzhong, Guo Jia's reign will be focused on Guanzhong for several years, and Jingzhou will be able to rest easy before Guo Jia uses Guanzhong to further strengthen it.

There are also hidden dangers in the Northern Expedition strategy, such as Yuan Shu, Zhang Xiu, Cao Ying, etc., which Liu Biao needs to watch out for, but now, Jingzhou has no room to look ahead.
