At the beginning of March, the weather warms up, the earth comes back to life, and everything begins to recover.

Countless greenery sprouted, dyeing the earth green.

It was supposed to be the sowing season, but here in Jingzhou, no one sows.

The good land was wasted, and the peasants who saw the past were in tears, but there was no way, there was a war coming, and if they did not leave, they would become victims of the war.

Unless they are the families of the children of the army, they can stay at the border, and at the beginning of the war, they will not be treated as spies, otherwise they must leave.

A large number of residents still moved, leaving their homes once again and going to the interior of Jingzhou, which was the third time in several years, and they did not know when such days would end.

At this moment, all the residents are nostalgic and nostalgic for the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, even if the imperial court taxes are extremely heavy, they are much stronger than now.

In Xiangyang City, Liu Bei and Sun Quan gathered together to discuss how to deal with Cao Cao.

Although the defeat of Yuzhou was planned, Zhou Yu did not hit Cao Cao hard, but only consumed some of his elite and most of the ordinary soldiers, and did not achieve the original goal, which made the two a little helpless.

"Brother-in-law Xuande, I don't know what to do now." Sun Quan looked at the middle-aged Liu Bei and called him brother-in-law for the first time.

Although my sister has not married Liu Bei yet, the date has been set, just at the end of the month, and it is not a big deal to call him brother-in-law now.

Listening to Sun Quan's title, Liu Bei's face was also a little embarrassed, he was a person of the same era as Sun Quan's father, and he used to fight side by side, and now he wants to marry his daughter and call his child a brother, it is really impermanent.

"Brother Zhongmou, I can't do anything at this time, I'd better listen to Gongjin and see if he has any way." Liu Bei said politely, smiling at Zhou Yu behind Sun Quan as he spoke.

Hearing Liu Bei say this, Sun Quan nodded and motioned for Zhou Yu to speak.

"Ahem, I think we should divide it into three steps, take Jingzhou as the line of defense, stop Cao Cao's advance, send troops from Yangzhou, attack Yuzhou, contain Cao Cao's troops, send troops from Yizhou to attack Liangzhou, also contain Cao Cao's troops, fight on three fronts, drag Cao Cao's troops, and give him a fatal blow." Zhou Yu spoke eloquently and expressed his opinion.

As soon as these words came out, everyone applauded, and they all thought that Zhou Yu's method was very good.

But Liu Bei and Sun Quan didn't speak, but just let many strategists and generals speak freely.

"I think we should drag Cao Cao's main force into Jingzhou, and use the terrain of Jingzhou to trap Cao Cao, so as to eliminate his main force."

"No, no, I think we should start the attack from Yuzhou and Liangzhou, let Cao Cao occupy the upper part of Jingzhou, paralyze him, so that he can take the two states, and attack Sili from the left and right, which is his base camp."

"What you both said is not right, I think Cao Cao should be dealt a blow from behind, we can contact Youzhou and ask him to help, in this way, Cao Cao will die."

The people who had been arguing suddenly stopped, and they all looked at the person who had just spoken.

I saw Lu Su dressed in a formal suit, a little chubby, with a kind face, looking at everyone with a smile, as if the words just now were just casual talk.

Only Zhou Yu had a strange look in his eyes, nodded slightly, and was very optimistic about Lu Su.

After a month of cultivation, Zhou Yu's injuries had long since healed, and even because of the battle in Yuzhou, his level was raised again, and now he was already a ninety-fifth level strategist, as long as he was promoted to the fifth level, he could break through the immortal level and become a sage.

Of course, Guo Jia must be like this, even stronger than him.

As soon as he thought of fighting with Guo Jia again in the future, his blood was boiling, but without help, he had no chance of winning at all, although Liu Bei had Xu Shu, but he didn't trust him much, only Lu Su He was very optimistic, as long as he was given time, it was a matter of time before he was promoted to the red grade, but what was missing now was time.

After pondering for a long time, Zhou Yu found that no one spoke, so he had to take the lead in speaking.

"Zijing's method is good, but Youzhou Prefecture Mu doesn't know how to think about it, Chen Gong has been shirking, Youzhou is estimated to still be watching from the wall, waiting for the battle to end, and Youzhou has not been aggressive, just staring at the barren grassland, if you want them to make a move, it is difficult." Zhou Yu's summary made the hall quarrel again.

Finally, another good solution was found, but it was rejected, and everyone talked about it again.

However, after discussing for a long time, there was no good way, and finally Liu Bei and Sun Quan opened their mouths and determined the policy of fighting Cao Cao in the future.

That is to turn Jingzhou into a battlefield, drag Cao Cao's main force, launch an attack from Yangzhou and Yizhou, attack Yuzhou and Liangzhou, and after taking the two states, launch a general attack on Sili. At the same time, Cao Cao was killed in Jingzhou.

The determination of the tactics made the hall quarrel again, and they were all discussing how to drag Cao Cao.

The attack of the other two states is actually very simple, as long as the red top generals come out, it is very easy to take the two states without top generals, but in this way, how to block Cao Cao in Jingzhou is the biggest problem.

Cao Cao, who has two top generals and two top strategists, is not so easy to block.

Even if Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, Tai Shi Ci and Zhou Yu are not necessarily opponents, the bonuses of the two strategists are too strong, and they will offset Zhou Yu's skills, and the chances of winning are not great.

In the midst of the quarrel, Liu Bei and Sun Quan discussed in a whisper, looking at everyone while talking.

Among them, the red-grade generals and strategists did not speak, but just listened to the quarrels of the crowd, trying to find a way from the middle.

The meeting lasted until dark, and there was nothing to be done, so we had to break up unhappily.

Liu Bei returned to his residence with many of his men, and opposite him was Sun Quan's residence.

The two families are separated by the state pastoral mansion and divided Xiangyang City equally.

Liu Bei, who returned to his residence, found Xu Shu to discuss what he saw today.

"Yuan Zhi, what do you think, there are a lot of speeches today, is there anything to pay attention to?" Liu Bei picked up the teacup, blew a breath, and then asked.

Hearing this, Xu Shu put down the teacup, his face was a little bitter, and he shook his head and said.

"Lord, it seems that Sun Quan wants to preserve his strength and let us rush up and drag Cao Cao, so that he can attack behind his back, but in this way, even if Cao Cao is defeated, we will make him a wedding dress, this person is very insidious, but this is a yang scheme, Yangzhou occupies geography, there is a natural danger of the Yangtze River, and it can resist Cao Cao's attack, and our Yizhou is a little worse."

Xu Shu's answer made Liu Bei's face bitter.

He knew that Yangzhou had developed water conservancy and could not pass without a boat, while Cao Cao was strong in everything, and it was not possible to fight in water warfare.

There are many mountains and plains in the north, but there are no big lakes and rivers, only the Yellow River, but there are few places to train the navy, once Jingzhou is taken, his Yizhou will be in danger.

If you rely on Yizhou's natural insurance, it is estimated that it can withstand it for a few years, but after a few years, Yizhou is in danger.

As for Yangzhou, without several years of training, Cao Cao couldn't even train the navy, even if he did, how could he defeat the Yangzhou navy.

It can be said that within ten years, Yangzhou is safe, and as long as the river is guarded, Cao Cao's desire to attack can be extinguished.

"Is there a way for Yuan Zhi?" Liu Bei asked.

"Now the only way to ask for help, ask for help from Youzhou, hope to get help from there, as long as you can let Lu Bu and others come over, you can solve the current crisis, but this is not realistic, if you can cooperate with Sun Quan, there is still a glimmer of hope, if not, there is no way......" Xu Shu briefly said the current method.

After listening, Liu Bei nodded, and decided to let the second brother go to Youzhou to try his luck, but it really didn't work, so let the soldiers of Yizhou block the front, and the loss point will lose the point, as long as he can repel Cao Cao and eliminate Cao Cao's main force, he can give him a few more years.

As long as he is given time, with the land of Yizhou, he will definitely be able to develop, and it will not be empty words to help the Han at that time.

The next day, Guan Yu took Liu Bei's handwritten letter, sat on the teleportation circle, came to the Heavenless City, asked to see Chen Gong, handed the letter up, and after asking about it, he returned disappointed.

At this point, Liu Bei had no choice but to be ruthless and send one billion elite troops to act as the main force to resist Cao Cao, hoping that Sun Quan could help him at a critical time.

On the border of Jingzhou, a large-scale defensive offensive began, hoping to use it to resist Cao Cao's troops.

In the face of Liu Bei's approach, Sun Quan was very satisfied, and the army of Yangzhou also began to assemble, some of them rushed to Jingzhou, and most of them went to the border of Yuzhou, waiting for the time to come.

The Sun-Liu Alliance, with a total of 1.5 billion elite troops, was distributed on the border of Jingzhou, waiting for the attack of battle, and countless ordinary armies were waiting behind it, and they would rush up to block the enemy's attack as long as necessary.

……

The deployment of the forces of the Sun-Liu Alliance arrived in Cao Cao's hands on the same day, looking at the information on the letter, Cao Cao's face was solemn, he knew that this was a battle that decided the ownership of the world.

As long as he wins Jingzhou, it can be said that he has won the world, whether it is Yizhou or Yangzhou, it is a turtle in an urn, even if Youzhou makes a move, it will not help.

Of course, if he fails, there is still a chance, it's a big deal to lose a few states and counties, he still has a chance to start over, but the chances in the future will be very slim, and now is his peak moment.

"Bonghyo, what do you think?" Throwing the letter to Guo Jia, Cao Cao asked.

After taking the letter and reading it, Guo Jia smiled slightly.

"Lord, I have seen victory, as long as I go all out, I will win this battle." Guo Jia's words made the haze on Cao Cao's face dissipate, just like the grass and trees that had not shone in the sun for a long time, suddenly saw the sunlight and began to thrive.

"Is Fengxiao saying that Youzhou doesn't have to take care of it?" Cao Cao asked again.

"Well, it is estimated that Youzhou will not make a move, I just got the news, Youzhou sent a large army again to kill the grassland, even if it comes back, it will lose a lot, don't think about it for the time being, even if you think about it, it will only increase the troubles, we can't guess the idea of the day, why bother thinking about it." Guo Jia explained.

After listening to Guo Jia's explanation, Cao Cao thought about it for a long time, but in the end, he didn't make up his mind, he had a deep guard against Li Yi, which could not be eliminated by Guo Jia's words.

"What does Feng Xiao think of Jingzhou's defense line?" Cao Cao asked again.

"Fall apart, as long as that army is on the field, this battle will be won, and the rest is only time." Guo Jia said confidently.
