I have to say that Cao Cao really has a performance of never stopping if he doesn't take Jingzhou.

What's more, this kind of performance can be seen by almost anyone with a little brain.

Because it was not the first time that Cao Cao had used troops against Jingzhou.

This is not the first time that Jingzhou has been pressurized.

As early as when Liu Biao was not dead, Cao Cao put pressure on Jingzhou many times, and he did not stop until he took down most of Nanyang, including Wancheng.

However, Cao Cao's stop was only temporary.

After he pacified the north and thoroughly sorted out the rear, he once again used troops against Jingzhou.

However, this time Cao Cao hit a nail.

Directly encountered the Battle of Red Cliffs.

What's more critical is that before this, Cao Cao stopped once because Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye.

These two times combined, if Cao Cao didn't have a little grievance in his heart, it would be impossible no matter what.

Strictly speaking, Cao Cao is no longer just a matter of whether he is aggrieved or not, and he is estimated to have this breath left to support now.

What does that mean?

To put it simply, Cao Cao has always been nervous before he defeated Liu Bei or suppressed Liu Bei.

But such tension is extremely stressful for the spirit.

Therefore, from this point of view, it is impossible for Cao Cao to let go of the use of troops against Liu Bei, not to mention that Liu Bei also took Nanyang, and even put pressure on him......

Of course, this pressure was actually caused by Chen Feng, but Cao Cao was directly counted on Liu Bei's head.

"What do you mean?"

After listening to Pang Tong's explanation, Liu Bei not only did not come to his senses, but the more he listened, the more he became confused.

There's so much content that he's really not going to be able to sort it out.

"To put it simply, as long as the lord is really determined to fight against Cao Cao, then Kunyang must not give up, not only can he not give up, but he must completely regard Kunyang as a transportation channel."

Pang Tong took a deep breath and said, "In general, my idea is that in the next war, I hope that the lord can continue to use Xiangcheng as the front line and Kunyang as the backup. ”

"In this way, no matter whether or not you can win the battle in the Xiangcheng area in the end, the lord will have another chance."

"More critically, this opportunity is not available all the time."

"In fact, if the lord gives up this opportunity now, it is estimated that it will be difficult to encounter it again for several years in the future."

Pang Tong felt that Kunyang was very important.

Because he felt that Nanyang, which he had just won, was the time when people's hearts were moving.

If Liu Bei can show some strength and courage at this time, then even if he loses the next battle of Xiangcheng, he can still use the power of the entire Nanyang to face Cao Cao face to face again.

Such an opportunity, if it is in Xiangyang, obviously there are also opportunities, and even if it is placed in Xiangyang, the opportunities may be a little more.

However, most of the power used in Xiangyang is from the resources drawn from the Nanjun and Jiangxia areas.

This also means that once Liu Bei loses once, it will affect most of Jingzhou.

But Nanyang is different.

At this moment, as long as Liu Bei is willing, then he can completely drain all the resources of the entire Nanyang.

The most important thing is that in this way, even if he loses, in the end, Cao Cao will not increase his strength because of this, and even lose more strength.

Why?

Don't forget, who did Nanyang belong to before.

It's not Liu Bei, it's Cao Cao!

After coming and going like this, how much power did Cao Cao lose?

At least 70 percent.

Therefore, Pang Tong's idea is very clear, that is, to extract the resources of the entire Nanyang as if he were fishing, so that Cao Cao wins, and he must also get the treatment that can only be done after he loses.

Of course.

Pang Tong would not tell Liu Bei any of the above content anyway.

He would only say anything else to Liu Bei.

For example, the hearts of the people of Nanyang are available, for example, the people of Nanyang are looking forward to the gods descending from heaven, such as Nanyang......

"Probably understood."

After listening to Pang Tong's detailed explanation, Liu Bei nodded slowly, and then he suddenly smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "However, I can't use such a method. ”

"Why?"

Pang Tongdang frowned.

He didn't know what he was doing wrong.

But why, Liu Bei still didn't choose his method in the end?

Do you see it?

Impossible.

What he said was very vague, even if Chen Feng was here, it was estimated that he couldn't hear it, and at most he could only perceive it afterwards.

But that was something that would happen later, or after the war broke out.

Now Liu Bei has seen through it......

Pang Tong really couldn't figure it out.

Yes, he thought that his method had been done to the best, and it was very subtle, even Chen Feng couldn't see it.

For this reason, he wanted to register an account with Liu Bei first, and then use it directly.

But what he didn't expect was that Liu Bei refused without even thinking about it.

What happened here, Pang Tong couldn't figure it out.

"Shi Yuan probably doesn't know what's going on in the rear yet, right?"

Liu Bei smiled slightly and said, "About two months ago, Liu Zhang suddenly reneged on the covenant and wanted to raise troops to attack Hanzhong and Nanjun. ”

When Pang Tong heard the news, he was full of cleverness, and the whole person instantly became nervous.

Of course, Liu Bei didn't see Pang Tong's nervousness, but he knew how shocking the news was, so he quickly continued: "Shiyuan doesn't have to worry. ”

Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "Actually, when I heard the news, I was very surprised, but what I didn't expect was that before I could react, Ji Chang and Wen Chang sent troops one after another. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bei seemed to be worried that Pang Tong would think of something that he didn't have, and added an explanation: "I have already given them the right to send troops, so their trip is not out of line." ”

"And after that?"

Pang Tong, who already knew Liu Bei very well, didn't care about these at all.

Because he knew that for Liu Bei, he had never doubted anyone under his command.

In this case, whether it is Guan Yu or Zhang Fei, or Zhao Yun, who has just cooperated with him in the war, they all have the right to send troops independently.

It's really nothing.

What Pang Tong cares about most is actually what happened afterward.

He probably already felt that Liu Zhang's behavior this time was most likely in vain, but he naturally couldn't figure out how to return in vain.

"After Wen Chang and Ji Chang sent troops, all parts of Yizhou heard the wind, but in a short period of time, the three major passes in Yizhou were continuously broken......

"Liu Zhang was frightened and sent Huang Quan to ask me for peace......"

"It is said that the sum is asked, but in fact it is the ...... please surrender"

"Today, Yuanzhi has laid the foundation in Yizhou."

"So we now not only have Jingzhou's money and food support, but also benefit the state."

After Pang Tong listened, the whole person was stunned.

Because after the above things have happened, it only represents one fact.

He, Pang Tong, miscalculated.
