Xuzhou Xiapi.

Like the Great General's Mansion in Chang'an, the supreme power in this rich state also smiled from ear to ear.

"It's finally time for this day"

Like Yuan Shang's reaction, Liu Bei, who received the news of Liu Biao's illness and death one day later, also had a thick smile on his face, he had been waiting for this day for a long time, so many years of hard work and planning, wasn't it just for this day, the surprise came so suddenly, it was because of its unpredictability, so it made people even more ecstatic.

"Generals, divisions, and a few gentlemen, please." Liu Bei commanded.

"Whoa." Zhang Fei got up and walked out.

In less than half an hour, more than a dozen strategists led by Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu rushed in, and after several years of development, Liu Bei's talent foundation is undoubtedly much thicker than a few years ago.

Liu Bei's face no longer has a trace of superfluous emotions, gloomy as water, no one can see the hearty smile in his heart, as a hero, Liu Bei's acting skills are enough to kill the so-called superstar in seconds.

"I've Seen My Lord"

More than 20 people in the hall have bowed their hands, and the left and right are divided into civil and military, and they are clearly distinguished.

"Take a seat," Liu Bei waved his hand and said indifferently.

"Thank you"

After everyone sat down, they saw Liu Bei's face and said with pity: "Shicai received a news from Benzhou that Jingsheng Gong of Jingzhou died of a backlash, and my Han family has one less master. ”

When the next crowd heard this, their hearts shook slightly, but after a short shock, they were happy in their hearts, and their own lord's coveting of Jingzhou was not a matter of a day or two, in the past, they were afraid of Liu Biao's existence so they didn't dare to make a big move, but now. Liu Biao fell ill and died. The mountain that really made Liu Bei jealous collapsed. If you don't take it now, when will you wait? Even Guan Zhang and the others also had a flash of light in their eyes, and after being silent for a few years, it was time to move their muscles and bones, and they could no longer let Yuan Shang wantonly stumble vertically and horizontally.

Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu glanced at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes, especially Zhuge Liang, Jingzhou was a very important part of the strategic blueprint he drew for Liu Bei. Although Xuzhou is rich, but it is not a place to dominate, the reason why it can still be defended at the moment is because it has not experienced the process of the big waves and sand, and now Yuan Shang is the strongest, followed by Sun Ce, who has gained a firm foothold in the south of Chang'an, and then Cao Cao, who occupies Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and the rest is just guarding an acre and three points of land, but has not developed much of the guards, such as Yizhou Liu Zhang, Yangzhou Yuan Shu. Jiaozhou Shixie, including the current Liu Bei. None of them are able to compete with the above three, so it is also urgent for Liu Bei to actively expand out.

"First seek Jingzhou as a springboard, and then take Yizhou into a full trend, and then try to take the Central Plains"

This is the strategic blueprint that Zhuge Liang planned for Liu Bei in the grassland, before Liu Biao died of illness, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu's opinions were to persuade Liu Bei to forbear, sure enough, but in a few years, Liu Biao had already fallen by himself, although Liu Bei was not young, but compared to Liu Biao, who was already old, he still had some advantages.

Now, the mountain that stood in front of them has fallen, and it is time for them to act.

saw Zhuge Liang come out and say: "It's a pity that Jingsheng Gong died of illness, but the foundation he worked so hard to lay will be wasted." ”

"Why?" Liu Bei asked knowingly.

Zhuge Liang said eloquently: "I believe that everyone here has also heard of it, Jingsheng Gong has three sons, the eldest son Liu Qi is known as a father, according to common sense, should inherit everything from Jingsheng Gong, but Jingsheng Gong prefers the second son Liu Cong because of his stepwife Cai, as for the third son Liu Xiu, he travels all year round, and his whereabouts are uncertain, now Jingsheng Gong suddenly goes west, the three sons who are studying abroad do not care for the time being, Liu Qi and Liu Cong are two sons, known as contradictions, and the large Jingzhou foundation can not withstand the toss of the two brothers, and besides, with the talent of the two, is not enough to support the banner of Jingzhou, and the foundation laid by Jingsheng Gong for more than ten years may be wasted. ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded slightly, this is all nonsense, just for the sake of the point, as long as people who know the situation in Jingzhou are generally clear.

"Benzhou has been favored by Jingsheng Gong in the midst of difficulties, and now Jingzhou will be in chaos, and the brothers will turn against each other, and I can't bear it."

Liu Bei sighed falsely, packaging himself as a benevolent monarch, even if he wants to use troops against Jingzhou, he needs to let the soldiers and civilians under his rule understand that he, Liu Xuande, had to rescue Jingzhou from fire and water in order to repay Liu Biao's kindness, which is a benevolent act.

"The lord has the demeanor of a benevolent man, and we will respect him." The literati led by Zhuge Liang hurriedly shouted, no matter whether Liu Bei's original intention was true or not, as long as those people who rose to the top believed it, it would be enough.

Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others will skip the fight for the time being, and at this time, Jiangdong is also not very calm.

"Ha Lu Ha"

Sun Ce took the information in his hand and laughed wildly without any concealment: "This thief is finally dead, he died well, he died well." ”

"My Father's Vengeance Gets Avenged"

Sun Quan, Sun Jing, Sun Yi, Sun Ben, Sun Fu and other Sun generals in the hall are in high spirits, and there are more emotional people crying bitterly, Sun Jian died in the chaos of arrows, the death was extremely miserable, the Sun family paid a great price in order to snatch his body back from Liu Biao's hands, and the two families have long been like fire and water, after Sun Ce gained a firm foothold in Jiangdong, he didn't have time to attack Jingzhou, but he didn't expect that Liu Biao died of illness first.

"Count him lucky, he died at the right time."

Sun Ce smiled coldly: "The hatred of killing his father is not shared, even if Liu Biao is dead, his relatives will come out to pay off the debt." ”

The generals of the Sun clan all responded, but Sun Quan frowned slightly, the attitude of his brother and the brothers was too presumptuous, in his opinion, this was not a good omen.

"Big brother, although Liu Biao is dead, there are still more than 100,000 people with armor in Jingzhou, so you can't take them lightly." Sun Quan still couldn't help but pour cold water on his brothers.

When Sun Ce heard this, he waved his hand quite casually and said: "Zhongmou is too cautious, if Liu Biao is still here, he may be a little afraid of his brother, but relying on Liu Qi and Liu Cong's two dogs alone, he will naturally not take it in his eyes, but there are more than 100,000 soldiers in Jingzhou, and he really can't wait for leisure, and he will take it seriously." ”

Seeing this, Sun Quan sighed in his heart, how could he not see that Sun Ce said that he was taking it seriously, but in fact, he had already relaxed a little in his heart.

"Someone, go and invite Zhou Yu, Zhu Zhi, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Lu Fan, Buqi, Zhang Zhao, Xue Zong, Zhang Hong, and a few gentlemen over." Sun Ce said sharply.

When the subordinates guarding outside the hall heard this, they didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly wrote down the names of the generals and strategists in Sun Ce's mouth, turned around and left the house, and went to ask for someone.

When Sun Quan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, with those generals and strategists on his side, I believe that Sun Ce should be much more cautious.

Both Sun and Liu have already received the news, and Cao Cao, who is only a hundred miles away from Jingzhou, will naturally not turn a deaf ear.

On the contrary, he was the first to receive the message.

It's just that compared with Yuan Shang, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei, Cao Cao is much more helpless.

He had the heart to leave the battlefield and waved his troops to Jingzhou, but he was entangled by Zhang Ren and couldn't control it.

This Zhang Ren is really an extremely good general, one by one, stunned Cao Cao's 20,000 soldiers and horses firmly set in Danxing, Hanfa County, and even Cao Cao had to let Dian Wei Xu Chu and the two as the vanguard, which tore apart Zhang Ren's trapped beast array, 20,000 soldiers and horses, and finally withdrew less than 15,000 people from the Yizhou territory, only less than two days of fighting, or each did not do their best, Cao Jun still killed nearly 6,000 people, Zhang Ren's ability to command the army, once again amazing.

"Lu Qian" Cao Cao's face was slightly gloomy, and he shouted angrily.

The elusive Lu Qian appeared at Cao Cao's chariot: "The last general." ”

"Immediately mobilize the fast pawns in your hands, and order Cao Ren to mobilize all the soldiers and horses in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, hoard the border of Jingzhou, and wait for my order to attack at any time."

When Lu Qian heard this, his face changed slightly, and he said in a high-spirited voice: "Oh." ”

Looking at Lu Qian's distant back, Cao Cao lowered his head to the sky and murmured, "I hope it's still too late." ”

Now that Liu Biao is dead, the situation in the world has changed dramatically, Jingzhou is a good place, and those who are angry at it, not to mention these people, are trapped by Yuan Shang in Jizhou, and Yuan Tan, who has a few counties left in the territory, has received the news, and he is eager to get out, and he has sent people, not to mention Yuan Shu, who is extremely close to Jingzhou.

"It's messed up"

I don't know who stood on the mountain peak and sighed softly, the sky of this big man is still chaotic after all.

The old crow circled, the beast walked among the mountains and forests, and the smoke of gunpowder ignited again. (To be continued......)
