didn't wait for Huang Zu to rush to Xunyang, but ran into Huang Shiè, who retreated from Xunyang, this father and son are really sympathetic!

Huang Zu only then knew that Xunyang was also attacked last night, and it was Sun Ce who led the army, Huang Shè couldn't resist the brave Sun Ce's army, and had to take the initiative to give up the city in the early hours of the morning, because there was Zhu Zhi's army on the river, Huang Shè could only retreat from the land with the remnants of the army, and originally wanted to Beitou Wanxian, but Wanxian had also been lost.

The two fathers and sons discussed, and abandoned Jichun and withdrew directly to the Huangshi Fortress, which is the gateway to Exian County, and it is also the location of the original division between Jingzhou and Yangzhou on the Yangtze River, that is to say, Huangzu lost all the territory originally obtained in the east overnight, and was driven back to the inherent territory of Jiangxia.

Sun Ce and Zhu Zhi led the army up the river, and Chen soldiers lined up in the lower reaches of the Huangshi Fortress, making a posture of attacking the Huangshi Fortress by land and water, Huang Zu suddenly panicked and hurriedly asked Cai Mao for help.

It's just that Cai Mao is also taking care of herself now, where is there still a jīng god to take care of Huang Zu.

Jiangling was lost, Cai Mao urgently transferred Wen to the south of Yicheng, annexed Cai Zhong's troops, established a defensive line in Yicheng, and blocked Fan Chou's troops from the north, but the direction of Xincheng has always been a threat that makes Cai Mao sleep, and now Cai Mao understands why Zhao Yun has never been optimistic about Jingxiang, because Jingxiang has no strong generals, and because Jingxiang people are not good at fighting..

Liu Bei made a force. Cai Mao was defeated again and again, especially his two brothers, who really fled without a fight! Cai Mao has nothing else to say. Now Xiangyang is leaking everywhere, the people are panicking, most of the people have chosen to board the ship to go north, and Xiangyang, which was prosperous in the past, has a bit of decay.

As a war fortress city, if you fight a protracted war, it will be besieged. Don't even think about winning it for half a year, but Zhang Fei and Wei Yan are not so stupid, their purpose at the beginning was to contain Tai Shici. When Xincheng and Jiangling were successful, Wei Yan would no longer have to waste time under Xinye City, and directly bypassed Xinye and led his cavalry to attack Xiangyang.

This change made Cai Mao very nervous. And look at the entire battlefield situation. Now there are no defense nodes on the east and west sides of Xiangyang, Xinye is lonely and surrounded by the enemy, and can not fully play the role of strategic points.

So, on the night of September 5, Tai Shici and Kuai Yue led the army to withdraw from Xinye at night, and it was morning. Zhang Fei found out that Xinye City, which was unfortified, was unfortified, and Zhang Fei was trying to enter the city in a big way. But he was stopped by Zhuge Jin, and sent a sentry into the city to carefully inspect it, and sure enough, he found a lot of ignitions. Zhang Fei was shocked and almost turned into a pig by a fire, it is a trivial matter that he was burned, and it is a big deal that the entire strategic deployment of the eldest brother may be completely broken.

And Kuai Yue, who was ten miles outside the city, sighed in vain: "Failed, I don't know who is giving Zhang Fei the idea?" ”

"It's nothing more than Chen Zhen or Zhuge Jin, Xenodu doesn't have to care, it's just waste utilization, if you don't succeed, you can't do it, it is estimated that with the military advisor on the side, remind you everywhere, it's not easy for Zhang Fei, who wants to calculate impulsively, let's go, let's see if we can let Wei Yan plant another heel 1

"Hehe, I'm afraid it's not easy, that guy is now a frightened bird, and it is estimated that he has long fled when he heard that we returned to Xiangyang."

"It's not good to escape far away, he can move to the east, that side is almost undefended, if Wei Yan destroys the political structure of Xiangyang from the foundation, it doesn't make much sense for Xiangyang to insist on it."

Kuai Yue sighed and said with a wry smile: "That's no way, now our only bargaining chip is just the possibility of dragging Liu Bei into a long-term war, it is impossible to compete with Liu Bei for Xiangyang County, the difference in military strength is too great." ”

"Yes, there are really a lot of capable warriors under Liu Bei's command, there were Zhang in the past, and now there are Wei Yan, Fan Chou and others, it is unlikely that Jing Xiang wants to suppress Liu Bei's ambition with military power."

"It seems that this is the only way, Ziyi, if it were you, what do you think?"

"Simple, sell everything in Jing Xiang to Liu Bei1

"Sold to Liu Bei?"

"Yes, Liu Bei also costs money to fight, so it is better to use this money to buy the property in Jingxiang City, if there is too much land to buy, you can let the clan sell it."

Kuai Yue looked at Tai Shici with strange eyes, although this is a little ugly to say, whether it is public or private, this kind of naked money transaction is a little uncomfortable, but this is the truth, and it is also the essence of the matter, and this approach is not only a good choice for the Jingxiang clan, but also an acceptable choice for Liu Bei and even Yiren.

Of course, this is a completely private transaction, but on the bright side, there can be another way to save enough face for both parties

"This is what Lord Fang meant?"

"Hehe, it's the meaning of the General Staff, of course, Jingxiang's affairs still have to be decided by the Jingxiang people, we are just making a suggestion, from my own mission, I still have confidence in keeping Xiangyang City, if the Jingxiang clan chooses to fight Liu Bei to the end, I will also support it."

Kuai Yue grinned: "If De Jue had this heart, he should have worked hard when Liu Bei first entered Jingzhou, why wait until this time, wouldn't it be a stupid act to raise tigers!" No, this is not a matter of De Jue alone, in the final analysis, it is still the lack of blood xìng1 of the Jingxiang clan

"Hehe, Xenomorph has forgotten that he is one of them1

"I also lack blood, I still have this self-knowledge, and what I lack is the ambition of the heavens and the earth, I am the life of a strategist, hehe."

"Heterogeneous people, it is suitable to be in the army, why don't you come to my legion to be a military priest bar."

"Hehe, yes, but your legion is far away in Tumen now, and I heard that it's very cold there.1

"It won't be very cold, and winter is also unique in Taibai County, smashing ice fishing, chasing snow foxes must have not experienced Xeno, warm wine around the stove and watch the frost and snow, and the ice field horse should be shè sky wolf at this time."

"Huh! Ziyi's writing is brilliant1

"Hehe, this is Mr. Lin, oh, it's the work of Mr. Lin Wenzhi, the owner of Xilin Academy, where does my rough man come from."

"Miyun is at the peak of humanities, and you really should take a look1

"Then you have to hurry up, I heard that there was a literary meeting in Miyun in October, and I invited a well-known scholar from my Han Dynasty to Miyun to give lectures and talk about the scriptures."

Kuai Yue blinked his eyes and said meaningfully: "Yes, this is a grand event, and the land of Jingxiang is also a gathering of humanities, so you should go to visit and study abroad." ”

The two talked and talked about it, leading their troops all the way south, seemingly not caring at all about the very unfavorable battle situation in front of them.

Zhang Fei didn't catch up, firstly, he may not be able to catch up, and if he catches up, he may not be able to take advantage of the society, and secondly, Zhang Fei must also deal with the affairs of Xinye City.

Wei Yan on the other side really didn't come to disturb Tai Shi Ci, after all, he was still a little timid about Tai Shi Ci in his heart, especially Tai Shi Ci's cavalry, Wei Yan didn't dare to take it lightly.

Xinye was lost, Xiangyang directly faced the threat from the north, with the support of Xinye, Liu Bei's offensive rhythm was naturally smooth, and now Xiangyang County only left Xiangyang and Yicheng, the two key points along the river, and the others took the initiative to give up or were broken by Wei Yan and Fan Chou.

However, for the land of the clan that has been emptied, Liu Bei did not dare to openly invade it, firstly, because it has no name, and secondly, it is afraid of arousing the hostility of the Jingxiang clan.

The successive losses of Xincheng, Xinye, and Jiangling made people feel panicked in Xiangyang City, but after Tai Shi Ci and Kuai Yue returned to Xiangyang, everyone was more down-to-earth, and with Tai Shi Ci in charge, it was very difficult for Liu Bei to break through Xiangyang, both militarily and politically.

But everyone also understands that a long-term military confrontation will bring serious losses of economic interests, not to mention, there is no way to manage the large fields outside the city if you stay in the city!

Therefore, there are not many people who advocate a long-term military confrontation in Xiangyang City, or it is extremely rare, and those who are decisive have already sold their land to the north, and there is absolutely no need to worry about whether anyone buys land, because there are strangers here, and there is no need to worry about whether the land cannot be sold.

On the other hand, Sun Qian was also vigorously active, visiting the patriarchs of the major clans from time to time, trying to persuade them to support Liu Bei instead, although Cai Mao did not like it, but there was no way to stop it.

When Tai Shi Ci returned to Xiangyang, he was busy arranging defenses and training troops, and did not participate in the internal activities of the Jingxiang clan, but Tai Shi Ci's attitude was still known to everyone at the first time, and Kuai Yue's ability to spread news was still very strong.

Cai Mao actually knew about this suggestion from the Miyun Staff for a long time, but Cai Mao has been hesitating, although this has something to do with his xìng grid, but it cannot be denied that this is indeed an important choice for life and death, and it cannot be careless and cautious.

Similarly, this news has long been circulated among the Jingxiang clan, and now it has only been confirmed again through the mouth of Tai Shici, so that Miyun's attitude is very clear, this is for everyone to choose a side, although the Jingxiang clan has long been prepared for this, but when the real thing comes, everyone will still hesitate and hesitate.

It's a pity that time and the situation really don't allow them to continue to delay, because Huang Zu has another trick on his side!

Huang Zu is not more decisive than others, but his situation is more critical than others, the people in Xiangyang City can still hide under the protection of Tai Shici and slowly think about the way forward, and Huang Zu has no one to help him, Sun Ce, the unlucky child, is in a military formation on the river a few miles away every day, and Cheng Pu's army is also camped on the other side of the river, and the drums of war are constantly ringing, Huang Zu really can't stand it.

So Huang Zu didn't do anything, and chose a side! To be continued...
