Chapter 25: Laurent

Since Zhang Fei promised to let Liu Dou take full charge of Jingzhou's affairs, he waited patiently for him to dispatch troops.

Guan Suo went to the barracks, and it was estimated that it would take at least half an hour to come back, so Liu Dou got up and walked out of the meeting hall, and came to the empty backyard of the house to pace and ponder.

Liu Dou knows very well that although he is the eldest son, he has disappeared for too long, and he has not established a relationship with Liu Bei, and it is difficult to get the approval of Ji Han Wenwu in a short period of time.

After all, Liu Chan has been a father and son with Liu Bei for thirteen years, and his emotional foundation must be far deeper than that of his son who suddenly appeared.

In addition, Liu Chan was born in Jingzhou, although his performance was not outstanding, but there was no bad deeds, so he was deeply supported by the Jingzhou faction led by Zhuge Liang, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Ma Liang, and Yi people in Jingzhou are estimated to support Liu Chan as the prince.

Even Zhao Yun, Mi Zhu, Sun Gan and others in the patriarchal faction will support Liu Chan, and if they want to turn the tables against the wind, they can only make immortal achievements to impress the Manchu civil and military forces.

And at present, this immortal achievement is placed in front of Liu Dou's eyes!

If the Battle of Jingzhou was properly commanded, turning the tide and blocking the Wu army under the city, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance Liu Dou's prestige, impress Liu Bei and the Manchu civil and military, and allow him to reverse the situation in the battle with Liu Chan for the prince.

Therefore, Liu Dou must be cautious and must not let his debut be ruined!

"This is a big test, if you lose, it will be even more difficult to win the position of prince!"

If you want to conquer Ji Han, start with Jingzhou first!

If you want to conquer the world, you must first become the lord of Ji Han!

Liu Dou believes that he can hand in up to five different answer sheets in this big exam.

First: It is impossible to change the situation of Guan Yu's father and son being defeated and dying, if this is the result in the end, then he can be called the shame of the traverser, don't think about being the emperor, or go back to Lujiang incognito to accompany Liu Lanzhi to live!

Of course, the premise is that the relationship between Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing is completely broken, and only then can he have hope.

Second: All the Jingzhou territory, including the three counties of Nanjun, Lingling, and Wuling, was lost, but it was able to help Guan Yu and his son get rid of Wei and Wu's pursuers, retreat with their whole body, and withdraw to Bashu.

Liu Dou felt that if the final battle situation developed like this, then his performance as the main general of Jingzhou recommended by Zhang Fei could only be regarded as unsatisfactory.

Third: Wuling and Lingling south of the Yangtze River were lost, but Jiangling, the core of Jingzhou, was retained, and Guan Yu was retracted into the city and held on to wait for help.

Liu Dou felt that if the battle situation developed to this extent, then his performance would undoubtedly be excellent, and he should be recognized and praised by the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces.

Fourth: Hold on until Guan Yu retreats, make concerted efforts to hold Jiangling, and even hold Wuling and Lingling, until the reinforcements from Yizhou enter the battlefield.

If you can do that, you will definitely be outstanding and the best in the world.

I believe that Ji Hanjun's ministers, including Liu Bei, will be convinced and praised, so it will be safe to ascend to the position of prince.

"And I, Liu Adou, want to go one step further and make an amazing achievement!"

Liu Dou put his hands behind his back and stared at a lantern under the corridor that was swaying by the cold wind, his eyes as resolute as iron.

The amazing achievement that Liu Dou wants is the fifth answer sheet.

Hold on to Jiangling without letting Guan Yu retreat, or a small number of troops, and even hold the two counties of Wuling and Lingling in the south of the Yangtze River, until the arrival of reinforcements from Yizhou.

At present, although the Wei army under the command of Xu Huang surpassed Guan Yu's Jingzhou army in numbers, due to the lack of ships, Fancheng and Xiangyang, which were isolated by the river, could still not be connected, and the Wei army, which was not good at water warfare, did not have an advantage on the river.

The city wall of Xiangyang south of the Yangtze River has been bumpered by the flood, and Xiangyang has become a lonely city, and the guard general Lu Chang is also a third-rate general.

If the pressure on Xiangyang continues to be exerted on the north bank of the Yangtze River while withstanding the Cao army on the north bank of the Yangtze River, it will be a matter of time before the city is broken.

As long as Xiangyang is taken, with the water superiority of the Jingzhou army, Fancheng may be conquered soon.

After pulling out Xiangfan, you can threaten Wancheng, and then look at Xuchang, and truly realize Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair.

Of course, if you want Guan Yu to attack Xiangfan, you must hold on to Jiangling for at least a month, so that Guan Yu's rear is as stable as Mount Tai, so that you can have a chance to take Xiangyang.

Why a month?

Because Liu Dou judged that even if Liu Bei received Zhang Fei's letter of request for help, he immediately began to mobilize troops, raise grain and grass, and advance by land and water, it would take at least about a month to reach Jiangling.

The Wu army dispatched 100,000 people, and Shu Han wanted to organize enough troops to resist, at least to gather the scale of the Battle of Yiling, 50,000 people.

50,000 horses, plus auxiliary troops transporting grain and grass equipment, the scale is afraid to be close to 100,000 people, from the rugged and difficult Shu Road, a month to Jiangling can be regarded as a rapid use of troops.

At present, there are only 4,000 defenders in Gangneung City, and in the face of the 100,000 Wu troops coming in one after another, this is undoubtedly a huge risk, and even a big gamble!

"The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!"

Liu Dou's eyes gradually lit up flames, and the flames spread to the sky, as if they could devour everything.

"This one, I Liu Dou bet! The bigger the bet, the greater the profit!"

"What I want to do is not the three-legged Liu Adou, but the revival of the Han family and the Emperor Adou who dominates the world!"

If such a strategic goal can be achieved, it is a genius!

That's a shocking feat!

That's the reincarnation of the soldiers!

That is the resurrection of the gods!

If he really made such a world-shattering achievement, who could still oppose Ji Hanjun's ministers to be the prince? Who would be embarrassed to say that Liu Chan, who was honest and honest, would be the prince of the world?

has the experience of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, plus his mother Yan was also a wife at the beginning, so he is the eldest son, don't Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang know the truth of "establishing virtue in troubled times and governing the world"?

What's more, he is both virtuous and long, and his appearance is similar to Liu Bei's seven points, does Liu Bei still want to set up Liu Chan's fake Adou as the prince?

If Liu Bei insists on doing this at that time, then don't blame yourself for learning Li Erfeng!

On the way out of Lujiang, Liu Dou has been repeatedly planning in his heart how to defend Jiangling without reinforcements?

From Lujiang to Langzhong, and then from Langzhong to Jiangling, he already had an idea.

Therefore, what he said to Zhang Fei that he could conjure up a team of soldiers and horses was by no means a mouthful, but after a long journey of 3,000 miles.

"I, Liu Dou, firmly believe that this plan will be successful!"

Now, Uncle Zhang strongly supported and gave up the handsome position of Nanjun Taishou to Liu Dou, which made him even more determined to bet this time.

"If you lose the bet, then I, Liu Dou, accept my fate!"

It's a big deal to lose the three counties of Jingnan, and he and Zhang Fei went north to meet Guan Yu, avoiding Maicheng and taking the road to Shangyong.

But if you win the bet, you will win the position of prince.

Guan Yu won the prestige of winning Xiangyang and became a generation of famous generals.

Zhuge Liang's Longzhong has achieved seventy percent and become the first phase in the ages!

Cheap father Liu Xuande is still in Luoyang, and the Zhongxing Han family is in sight!

"The bigger the waves, the more fish!"

In the dark night, Liu Dou's eyes were already red, like a desperate gambler.

The difference is that gamblers don't have a golden finger, but Liu Adou does!
