Liu Biao's army was eyeing the west of Jianping, affecting the whole of Yizhou, and its influence covered the Battle of Guanzhong and Guo Jia's rule.

In the war years when there were many princes, in every war, many of the princes who watched the drama around the battlefield could play an important role, they were variables, and they were unexpected people who changed the situation of the war.

Jingzhou's geographical location determined that Liu Biao could never be a neglected prince.

He can now hit Yuan Shao, deadly.

He can also hit Guo Jia, just as deadly.

This is the position where Liu's performance is enough to turn the tide of the war and change the situation in the world.

But it shouldn't be, Liu Biao shouldn't help each other, and the troops built Pingxi were Liu Biao's explanation to Yuan Shao, and it was also a measure to deter Guo Jia from embarrassing Guo Jia.

It's not a rock, but it's a bit of a ghost.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, the Yongan battalion in Badong, worked hard here, trained hard, and managed the army rigorously.

Ten years of sharpening a sword.

Guo Jiamou then moved, neither relentlessly fighting nor forgetting worries.

If you are warlike, you will die, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin have indeed had no war to fight over the years, but it does not mean that they have lost their sense of crisis.

Now, Zhang Baiqi is in Hanping County, not far to the southwest, and Liu Biao's army is near the border between Badong County and Jianping County.

What should they do?

Whether to continue to guard against the entry of Liu Biao's army or to lead the army to suppress Zhang Baiqi's rebellion.

They couldn't be the master, so they had to ask Guo Jia.

Guo Jia gave them an unexpected military order.

A military order that no one in the world should have expected.

Hit Jingzhou!

Zhou Tai looked at the military order in the tent and was dumbfounded.

Jiang Qin leaned up and read it.

"Hit Xiangyang City in a month? Wherever they passed, they defended the city without dividing their troops......"

Jiang Qin looked at Zhou Tai in a daze, wanting to see how his friend reacted.

Anyway, he was really shocked.

With 20,000 soldiers and horses, he first went to fight Huang Zu, who had 50,000 soldiers and horses, and then waved his army straight to Xiangyang, where there were still 50,000 defenders.

Is the lord crazy or is he dazzled?

Zhou Tai confirmed that it was Guo Jia's big seal and Guo Jia's autograph before he dared to believe it.

Walking to the handsome seat and sitting down, Zhou Tai carefully pondered Guo Jia's military order.

False and false, Zhou Tai has to figure it out first.

Don't look at it as a military order, sometimes there may be hidden mysteries.

After thinking about it, Zhou Tai finally didn't guess that Guo Jia had any deeper intentions.

It's very simple: fight Jingzhou!

Military orders must be carried out by military generals, otherwise they will be beheaded in accordance with the law if they disobey military orders.

But military generals are also people, they have thoughts, and military orders are a direction, and Zhou Tai never thought about going to Jingzhou before receiving the military order.

But now, the idea of fighting Jingzhou took root in his heart, and the seed was sown by Guo Jia, and Zhou Tai's blood boiled instantly.

He empathizes with his heart.

If even the generals under Guo Jia's command expressed surprise at attacking Jingzhou, then how could Liu Biao think that Guo Jia would dare to attack Jingzhou in the current situation that Guo Jia is embattled?

If Liu Biao can't think of it, then Jingzhou's precautionary heart is very low.

War is not officially started only when you step into the territory of the other side.

From another point of view, the beginning of the war can be described as a strife of thugs in the market.

You scolded me, I was full of old fists, and the two began to fight.

Swearing is an insult to the surname, but it does not cause substantial harm to the person.

Liu Biao waved his army and stationed troops in Jianpingxi, which was a war posture.

It is equivalent to Liu Biao standing in front of Guo Jia to declare war, but it has not officially started yet.

Throughout the ages and even in the future, it has been common for opposing sides to confront each other on the border, and some of them eventually start fighting, while others eventually fail.

To fight or not to fight depends on whether or not to live up to the consequences.

As for who hits whom first, it doesn't matter at all.

When Jingzhou put on a posture of war, Guo Jia had a good reason to go to war.

Of course, Guo Jia has always sent troops to Badong Yong'an, which is actually a threat to Jingzhou, and it is understandable for Liu Biao to fight back.

So, let's go to war.

This is also the situation that Guo Jia hopes to see.

He thinks about Jingzhou for a long time!

No one will listen to Liu Biao's defense, he just said in front of the people of the world that the purpose of building Pingxi was to scare Guo Jia, but is military action child's play? As soon as the three armies move, it will affect the entire southern part of China! As long as Liu Biao's soldiers and horses arrive in Jianping West, Guo Jia can be regarded as a threat, as a provocation, and as an imminent invasion!

Therefore, the reason why Guo Jia fought Jingzhou, Liu Biao gave it away!

And Guo Jia will not rashly make enemies for the sake of the battle of will and face!

This time, he was equally planned and strategic.

Just after he read Zhou Tai's military intelligence, in just a few breaths, he had a longer-term plan.

The outcome of Guanzhong is unpredictable, and Guo Jia does not dare to pack tickets, he will definitely be able to defeat Yuan Shao.

asked Zhou Tai to fight Jingzhou, Guo Jia made two preparations.

Cracking down on Liu Biao is the basic purpose.

The subsequent movements will depend on the outcome of the battle.

If Guo Jia wins in Guanzhong, then he will let Zhou Tai withdraw his troops and operate in Guanzhong honestly.

Once Guo Jia is defeated in Guanzhong, then he will return to Yizhou with the remnants of the defeated army, and at that time, he will fall into a crisis in Yizhou, a crisis of confidence in him from the common people to the wealthy and even the bureaucracy.

Then he needs to divert his attention.

Attack Jingzhou!

In the middle of the pass, Guo Jiake looks at the Central Plains. Jingzhou, Guo Jianeng divided the north and south rivers and ruled.

Interests are fundamental.

Expansion is only a means to pursue profits.

The soldiers and horses of Guanzhong and Yizhou can be treated differently, even if Guanzhong is defeated, Yizhou's military strength is still not to be underestimated, it is more than enough to fight Jingzhou, and Guo Jia has no reason not to fight before.

And now that Guo Jia has a reason to attack Jingzhou, then he has a way out.

Guanzhong lost, even if Yuan Shao swallowed Sizhou and Liangzhou, it would definitely be impossible for him to go south to capture Yizhou in a short period of time, and Guo Jia would take the opportunity to lead the army to the east and take Jingzhou!

Guo Jia, who was thousands of miles away, was actually sneering, Liu Biao had better pray for Yuan Shao to lose in Guanzhong at this time, otherwise, after Guo Jia returned to Yizhou, he would immediately reinforce Zhou Tai and sweep Jingzhou!

"Order the three armies to retreat thirty miles to the west."

After Zhou Tai understood Guo Jia's military order, he conveyed such an order that sounded like a contradictory order.

Jiang Qin was dumbfounded, and asked sneeringly: "Youping, the lord's order is to attack Jingzhou, you are disobeying the military order, if the lord is investigated, how can you explain?" ”

Zhou Tai laughed and said, "Who said I was going to disobey the military order?" Withdraw the army for thirty miles first, and then enter Jingzhou in one go! ”

Jiang Qin was shocked by Guo Jia's military order, and now that he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he would smile.

Zhou Tai wants to retreat first, it is for the Jingzhou army to see, and he must remove the vigilance of the Jingzhou army to the greatest extent!

When the news of the Yong'an camp being emptied, Huang Zu, who was in the west of Jianping County, sneered and smiled, quite proud.

He thinks he is one of the best generals in the world now!

Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian died in his hands!

Although he was later captured by Sun Cesheng, it could not erase his exploits in setting up an ambush to kill Sun Jian.

He didn't know that he killed Sun Jian, and the heroes in the world who learned about it only felt sorry for Sun Jian, but few people admired Huang Zu.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sun Jian died in carelessness and ambush, and Huang Zu is only the executor, and the people who designed it should be the strategists under Liu Biao.

Huang Zutun's troops built Pingxi, and every time they were investigating the movements of Yong'an, the confrontation between Badong and Yong'an did not allow him to treat it negatively.

Zhou Tai led the army to evacuate the Yong'an camp, and in Huang Zu's opinion, Zhou Tai must have led the army to suppress Zhang Baiqi's rebellion.

In this way, he really felt relaxed and had nothing to worry about.

Two days later, in the middle of the night, Huang Zu's army in Jianpingxi was robbed, and it was a well-prepared and tactically planned robbery camp.

Zhou Tai's 20,000 soldiers and horses were divided into ten battalions, one battalion of 2,000 people, and swept the Jingzhou army camp from all directions.

Breaking the whole into zero, the actual disadvantage, but Zhou Tai attacked the strong with the weak, and attacked more with less, which was originally a dangerous soldier, if he couldn't fight boldly, there would be no way to talk about the brilliant results.

Opportunities and risks often go hand in hand.

If the Jingzhou army is always vigilant, the Taiping army's tactics of robbing camps with 2,000 people in all directions may be counter-encircled and suppressed.

Numerical superiority was the only favorable condition that the Jingzhou army had.

If such an advantage cannot be brought into play, the rout and fiasco will become logical.

Huang Zu only realized when he was dying that Zhou Tai's withdrawal was a smoke bomb.

20,000 Taiping troops poured out, killed the Jingzhou army by surprise, and the night of melee did not end until noon the next day.

The military camp in Jingzhou in the west of Jianping was bleeding like a river, and the corpses were scattered all over the field.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin each led their troops to attack Huang Zu's tent when they launched the camp robbery, and easily cut off Huang Zu's head.

The ensuing melee was almost a massacre, the Taiping army gradually equalized with the Jingzhou army from a numerical inferiority, and then turned into an advantage, after a surprise victory, Zhou Tai counted the soldiers and horses, the Taiping army suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and the Jingzhou army suffered 30,000 casualties! Nearly 20,000 people are fleeing towards Xiangyang in embarrassment.

Regardless of his thoughts, Zhou Tai led the army to pursue with a great victory, and the target was Xiangyang, Guo Jia said that if he wanted to fight under Xiangyang City, he would not think that he could give Guo Jia a satisfactory explanation after the big victory.

Liu Biao steals chickens and rice, and makes a cocoon to bind himself.

Now, he doesn't have to worry about Yuan Shao, who may own half of the country in the future, but Zhou Tai Jiang Qin, who is like a wolf and a tiger in front of him!

Guo Jia received a report from Zhou Tai's attack on Jingzhou in Zheng County.

Fa Zheng smiled and praised Zhou Tai's bravery.

But Guo Jia didn't care.

"Jingzhou is defenseless, the 50,000 army is useless, if Zhou Tai doesn't win, then I should also consider replacing him."

Fa Zheng just politely complimented Zhou Tai, which does not mean that he really praised Zhou Tai to the sky.

In a war, strategy and tactics are the key, and no matter how strong an army is, if it implements a wrong tactic, it will definitely not end well.

Guo Jia saw the end of the battle report, raised his head and said to Fa Zheng: "Reply to Zhou Tai, don't disturb the people of Jingzhou, if Liu Biao asks for peace, delay first." If Liu Biao fights, let Zhou Tai firmly defend himself, and if Liu Biao breaks the cauldron and sinks the boat, then return to Jianping County first, and tell him that he can retreat, but he must stay in Jingzhou. Uh, Huang Zu's head, I have written down this credit, but let Zhou Tai send someone to send Huang Zu's head to Jiangdong Sun Ce. ”
