Troubled Times Begin Chapter 233 Prestige
"What do you say? Tell me again! "Xiangyang Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, Liu Biao listened to the report of the herald below, and asked angrily.
"Lu Xuantong marched westward from Jingnan and Jiangdong at the same time by waterway, claiming to be 200,000, approaching Jiangxia, the defense line of our army!" The herald hesitated for a moment, then reported again.
"Bastard Lu Xuantong, dare to bully me like this!" Liu Biao suddenly threw all the books in front of the table to the ground and scolded.
"Lord, we only have 50,000 defenders in Jiangxia, and this time the enemy army is several times larger than mine, General Huang Zu just in case, the special order of the small one came to ask the lord to send troops to support!" The herald said again.
"You know, you tell Huang Zu not to be impatient, I will send reinforcements over immediately!" As the overlord of one side, although Liu Biao does not have any big ambitions, but he definitely attaches great importance to his one-acre and three-point field, the previous Jingnan was lost, anyway, the place was poor, and it was separated by a Yangtze River, which was difficult to manage, but the rich Jingbei could not lose his roots, he collected some thoughts slightly, and immediately calmed down.
"Whoa!" The herald replied and slowly retreated.
"Go and call Cai Mao and Kuai Liang to me!" After the herald left, Liu Biao immediately sent someone to invite his two capable generals.
"Lord!" After a while, Cai Mao and Kuai Liang Yang came and saluted.
"No need to be polite, this time I called you here to discuss something important!" Liu Biao waved his hand, and then went directly to the topic: "I just received information that Lu Xuantong sent troops from Jingnan and Jiangdong, and led an army of 200,000 to approach our army Jiangxia. ”
"Shhh Hearing this shocking news, Cai Mao's pupils shrank, obviously quite shocked.
"Lord, that Lu Xuantong is famous, we have to send reinforcements to help Jiangxia quickly!" Cai Mao came back to her senses and said.
"I also know this, but how to save it, how many soldiers should we send? Who should be sent out so that the general can block that Lu Xuantong? Liu Biao asked. He also knew that reinforcements must be sent, but the problem was that if there were fewer reinforcements, they would not be used, and if they were sent too much, then the area around Xiangyang Jiangling would be empty, and the most important thing was that Jingzhou did not seem to have a general who could block the edge of the opposite side.
"This!" Cai Mao was also dumbfounded. Obviously, I also thought about this problem, Wuling County in Jingnan is separated from Nanjun by a Yangtze River, if his side draws out all the troops here, what if Lu Xuantong comes from Wuling to fight Nanjun again.
"Don't worry, my lord, according to the conscience, we just need to defend the Jiangxia front line with all our might!" Kuai Liang thought for a moment before he spoke.
"Oh? Are you saying that we should send all our soldiers to the Jiangxia front? Liu Biao asked.
"Yes, according to Liang's speculation, although Lu Xuantong has occupied Jingnan and Jiangdong for several years, his actual strength is not much more than ours, some time ago Lu Xuantong has just taken Huainan not long ago, in terms of the situation in the Central Plains, before Huainan is not stable, Lu Xuantong will inevitably send tens of thousands of soldiers to suppress Huainan, plus the spies said some time ago that Lu Xuantong sent a large army to take Jiaozhou, which should also be tens of thousands of troops, so it seems that Lu Xuantong's troops are not superior to us, and now Lu Xuantong claims to be 200,000 to attack my Jiangxia, Then he must also be the army of the whole country, there is absolutely no extra troops to attack from both sides of Jiangxia and Jiangling, and even his 200,000 army may have some moisture in it! Kuai Liang slowly analyzed.
"That's reasonable, then in Zirou's opinion, who should be sent to support Jiang Xia?" Liu Biao nodded and asked again.
"In my opinion, there are many waters in Jiangxia, and it is essential to send some generals who are good at water warfare, just to fight a water war with Lu Xuantong, Lu Xuantong has a very prominent martial arts reputation on land, but water warfare is completely different from land warfare, we may be able to use this to break Lu Xuantong!" Jing Liang said.
Liu Biao realized, looked at Cai Mao, and asked, "Is De Jue willing to rush to the aid of Jiangxia and face Lu Xuantong?" ”
In Jingzhou, if Wen Ping is a land general, then the water war general is none other than Cai Mao, although Cai Mao is a civilian on weekdays, but he is actually a pretty good commander in water warfare.
"May I share my sorrows with the Lord!" Knowing that this was a critical moment, Cai Mao did not shirk it, but directly agreed. Because he knew that this was no longer just about Liu Biao's battle, but about the fate of all the big families in Jingzhou, if Lu Xuantong, the public enemy of the family, was allowed to enter Jingzhou, then wouldn't all of them from the family be finished.
"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll send 100,000 troops to rush to the aid of Jiangxia, with De Jue as the main general, Wen hired Zhang Yun and the two as deputy generals, Kuai Yue as the military advisor, and be sure to repel Lu Xuantong to me!" Liu Biao patted the table and said with a straight face.
Kuai Yue is the first strategist under Liu Biao, Zhang Yun is Liu Biao's nephew, very proficient in water warfare, and Wen Ping is faintly the title of the first general of the Jingzhou land war, plus Cai Mao and Jiangxia's Huang Zu, almost all the talents under Liu Biao's command were sent by him to deal with Lu An, which shows how jealous Liu Biao is of Lu An.
"Yes!" Cai Mao arched his hand and retreated with Kuai Liang.

On the mighty Yangtze River, from time to time there is a splash one after another, under the refraction of the sun, showing a strange silver-white color, and at this time, from the east of the Yangtze River, there is a huge fleet, these ships are not ordinary merchant ships, but a large building ship and Mengchong fighting ship that is only suitable for fighting, like a beast rampant in the waters of the Yangtze River.
"Lord, have you made the following plans for this expedition?" Guo Jia stood on the smooth deck of the ship, took out the wine gourd he was carrying, took a sip, and asked Lu Andao on the side.
"Intended?" Lu An asked suspiciously.
"I mean, since we are going to attack Jiangxia, then there will definitely be a water war, and Liu Biao's army is very mediocre on land, but the water army has good combat effectiveness, I'm afraid it won't be so easy!" Guo Jiadao.
"His navy is strong, and my navy is not weak, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Ling Cao are all fierce in the water!" Lu An said with a smile.
"Well, it's true, all of them are from water thieves, and they are indeed good at fighting water wars!" Guo Jia is a serious way.
"Hahahaha, whether it's a water thief, or a water general, I only ask about its ability, not about its origin, use it well, a water thief is a water general, if you don't use it well, the water general is no different from the water thief!" Lu An laughed. Guo Jia mentioned this, he really remembered it, it seems that his generals who are good at water warfare have all been water thieves, is it that the profession of water thieves is very promising? That's why it attracts so many high-end talents.
"Although these people are brave and brave, if they talk about controlling the naval army, except for General Gan Xingba, I am afraid that the rest will not be able to take charge alone!" Guo Jia sighed.
"There are few handsome talents, and it's good to have a few brave generals in water warfare, and this time it's precisely because of this that I came in person, but for water warfare, to be honest, I'm not very good at it, so I can only do my best!" Lu An said softly. Although his military soul and military array can also work on the water, he is powerless against the formation of the soldiers on the water, the inch is long, the ruler is short, even if he has the system, he is not omnipotent.
"The lord is a victorious general, and he is the spiritual pillar in the hearts of all the soldiers, so you can't say such frustrating words!" Guo Jia reminded.
"It's really stressing me to hear you say that, but to be honest, I really haven't thought about failing!" Lu An smiled slightly, and said very confidently. Fighting, in fact, sometimes this is the case, brave, calm, plus an elite soldier, this has the basis for victory, and Lu An thinks that he is not lacking in these, plus there is also the best military division in the world on the side, so no matter what situation is encountered, it is a strong army with super combat power.
"It's good that the lord has such confidence." Guo Jia smiled slightly and didn't say much. The strength shown by the boss is sometimes the best encouragement for the soldiers, just like the original overlord, brave and invincible all his life, twice to win more with less, and was worshiped as a god by the soldiers, his own lord, obviously also walked on this road, and compared to the overlord, his own lord is politically complete to the other party, such a character is a peerless person who really has the qualifications to set the world.
"Speaking of water warfare, I think of a person, but it's a pity that he refuses to surrender to me for the time being, otherwise I will definitely appoint him as the commander this time." Lu An and Guo Jia chatted, but in their hearts they remembered the virtuous person who was invited by him to settle the situation in Jiangdong, if he could come over, then his side would simply have an extra Optimus Prime.
"Did the lord mean that Zhou Yu?" Guo Jia asked.
"Well, you have also seen his handsome talent and military strategy, and he is definitely first-class in this world, and land warfare is not what he is best at, water warfare is his forte!" Lu An nodded.
"The lord is saying that this person will be stronger if he leads the water master?" Guo Jia asked in slight surprise. You must know that the unified army on the opposite side is already the world's first-class level on land, and if the water battle is stronger, it is really a bit terrifying.
"Do you remember when we and Sun Ce snatched Jiangdong? I deliberately avoided the water battle, in fact, because I didn't know the bottom of my heart to fight him in the water! Lu An patted Guo Jia on the shoulder and slowly walked back to the cabin.
The entire Three Kingdoms is an epic heroic biography, there are not many heroes, sometimes it is difficult to distinguish their high and low, but in any case, the person who can defeat the eternal hero Cao Cao with less victory will definitely be the most shining pearl in the entire Three Kingdoms, and this kind of talent, it is a pity that he can't be subjugated under his command.
