Liu Bei's wedding was very grand and lively.

But after marriage, what should be done is still what it should be.

Moreover, just three days after Liu Bei's wedding, Liu Bei, who should have been immersed in the joy of the newlywed, suddenly held a small military meeting.

The people who participated were the same people who were in Xiakou.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Xi, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian.

And the reason why this military discussion was started was because Liu Bei received a letter from Xu Shu's clipper, which said a very strange thing.

Zhou Yu of Nanjun, during this period of time, the movement of soldiers and horses was very frequent, and it seemed that there was a big move.

At first, Xu Shu didn't pay much attention to it, after all, the autumn harvest had just ended, and Xu Shu thought that Xiangyang had made some moves, causing Zhou Yu to respond accordingly.

But then Xu Shu found out that something was wrong

If it was the pressure of Cao's army in Xiangyang, then Zhou Yu should concentrate his forces in the north to face the depression.

But in fact, Zhou Yu put his troops in the south, and it was on the other side of the mouth of the oil river.

This made Xu Shu suddenly very vigilant.

Of course, Xu Shu didn't expect that Zhou Yu was going to enter Yizhou, but thought that Zhou Yu was finally going to attack Youjiangkou.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the wedding of his father-in-law to send troops to attack, this possibility is not impossible.

Therefore, Xu Shu dared to take the fast horse and send a letter to inform Liu Bei, while he began to reorganize the army for battle, and at the same time informed Pang Tong behind him to pay attention to the direction of Wuling and Changsha, so as to prevent Zhou Yusheng from attacking the east and west, and directly cross the river to attack these two counties.

Liu Bei was also shocked when he received the letter, and hurriedly convened this military meeting to discuss Zhou Yu's purpose in doing this.

Are you going to destroy the Sun-Liu Alliance?!

Zhuge Liang is also a little uncertain, after all, Zhou Yu's attitude, Zhuge Liang also understands.

Zhou Yu is a person who recognizes the necessity of the Sun-Liu Alliance, but there is a premise - within a specific time.

At that time, Cao Cao's army was pressing, and Jiangdong alone could not fight against Cao Cao, so it was necessary for the Sun-Liu alliance to exist.

But now, Zhou Yu has captured Jiangling, obtained the largest grain-producing area in Jingzhou, and has also established defense lines in various important places in the north of Jiangling, and the entire Nanjun only needs to face the pressure of Xiangyang, at this time Zhou Yu will continue to adhere to the Sun-Liu alliance, it is really hard to say.

Compared with going to Cao Cao, in fact, Liu Bei's group has more pressure on Jiangling.

To the east of Jiangling is Jiangxia County, where Liu Bei's group has the largest number of troops, and after the Battle of Jiangling, it also divided Wulin and other places, which is equivalent to having a springboard to enter Nanjun.

Liu Bei was stationed at the mouth of the oil river on the other side of the river, and he did not return it, causing Jiangling to have to divide his troops to defend, for fear that Liu Bei would break the covenant and attack Jiangling first.

As for the four counties of Jingnan, although Jiangdong occupies the northern part of Changsha and part of the county seat in the eastern part of Wuling, in general, the strength is not comparable to Liu Bei's group, and these territories may be eaten away by Liu Bei at any time.

If Zhou Yu wanted to use this to stabilize the defense of Jiangling and expand the transportation link from Changsha to Yuzhang. It is not impossible to use troops against Jingnan.

The situation in Jingnan is actually very chaotic, especially in the two counties of Wuling and Changsha, the forces of the Jiangdong Army and the forces of Liu Bei's group have always been intertwined, if Zhou Yu wants to attack Liu Bei's group for the sake of the safety of Nanjun, it is really in the past.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang's suggestion was to strengthen Jingnan's vigilance on the one hand, and on the other hand, send people to Jiangling and Chaisang respectively to inquire about Zhou Yu and Sun Quan's intentions.

This is a salute before the soldiers, even if the covenant is broken, this pot cannot be carried by Liu Bei's group.

Only Zhang Xi proposed a possibility.

"Didn't Zhou Gongjin want to attack the east and west first, go to Changsha Baling to supply troops, and then go up the river and enter Yizhou?!"

This is not a blind guess, Zhang Xi is well-founded.

Although in history, Zhou Yu was on the way back to Jiangling from Chaisang, he fell ill in Baling and had to recuperate on the spot, and finally died of illness.

But the situation is different now than it was in history.

Jiangxia is not in the hands of Jiangdong, but in the hands of Liu Bei, so it is difficult for Zhou Yu to avoid Liu Beijun's surveillance and transfer troops and horses from Jiangdong to Jiangling through the Yangtze River waterway.

And Nanjun also has to guard against Cao's army in the direction of Xiangyang, it is impossible for the whole army to be dispatched, and the mobile troops that Zhou Yu can call in Nanjun are only about 10,000 or 20,000.

With such a few people, how did Zhou Yu go west?!

Baling, on the other hand, was a good place to supply soldiers and ordnance.

Zhuge Liang was also slightly stunned, and then began to recall the map he had written down in his mind, and was stunned to find that what Zhang Xi said was really possible.

Baling is located in the north of Changsha, north of the Yangtze River, south of Baling Lake, east can be connected with Jiangdong's Yuzhang County, in this place to station, Zhou Yu on the one hand can avoid the Yangtze River waterway Liu Beijun surveillance, on the other side can receive the military supplies from Jiangdong through Yuzhang County, once the time is ripe, Zhou Yu can directly send troops to the west, along the Yangtze River upstream to march to Zigui, Ba County and other places.

Moreover, Zhou Yu took Yizhou, and there was a convenience, that is, Yiling has always been under the control of the Jiangdong Army and has Yiling. It's equivalent to having a springboard for Irikawa.

Although it is a bit against military common sense to attack against the river, Liu Zhang did not arrange too many defenders in Badong, and if Zhou Yu marched quickly, it was not impossible to quickly occupy Badong, attack Bajun, and completely open the door to Shu.

"If so. Lord, please also send a messenger across the river to ask Sun Quan's intentions. Zhuge Liang hurriedly asked Liu Bei for his life and said, "Furthermore, please ask the three generals to return to the mouth of the oil river quickly, once the Jiangdong army has a westward movement, stop it along the river, and never let it pass." ”

Zhuge Liang is not in a hurry, if Jiangdong is allowed to take Yizhou, then Liu Bei will really be completely suffocated in Jingnan, and "Longzhong Pair" will not be realized.

Liu Bei naturally understood what Zhuge Liang meant, many years of experience in the army was not obtained in vain, with Zhuge Liang making a plan for him, Liu Bei naturally knew the importance of Yizhou to him, and hurriedly sent Sun Qian across the river to Chaisang, while he ordered Guan Yu to gather Jiangxia soldiers and make a possible attack on Lukou, forcing Zhou Yu not to dare to send troops easily.

After making these preparations, Liu Bei also specially thanked Zhang Xi.

"If it weren't for the reminder of the chief, I am afraid that it will be !!" Liu Bei took Zhang Xi's hand and said with emotion.

Zhang Xi is naturally very happy, after all, this is an affirmation from the boss.

But the military discussion was over, and Zhang Xi was inevitably a little melancholy.

If Zhou Yu had already arrived in Baqiu, he should not be far from death.

In the end, it is a hero, a lupine scarf, and Zhou Gongjin, who is in ashes between talking and laughing, is also life.

Although he didn't work with Zhou Yu for a long time, Zhang Xi couldn't deny Zhou Yu's charm, so before leaving Jiangling City, Zhang Xi kindly reminded Zhou Yu to pay attention to arrow sores.

Whether it succeeds or not, it is in the destiny of heaven.

After all, from the perspective of Liu Bei Group, Zhou Yu's life is a thing that does more harm than good.

Now, everything that should be done has been done, and Zhang Xi doesn't feel sorry for Zhou Yu. It's just a little sorry for my wife.

Sun Shangxiang has always regarded Zhou Yu as his brother, and he is a husband, knowing that his eldest brother is going to hang up but not saving Sun Shangxiang, if he knows, he will probably hate himself to death, right? !

After returning home, Zhang Xi looked at Sun Shangxiang, who greeted him, opened his mouth several times, and finally held back and didn't say anything.

It's really hard to say, you can't say that you watched the sky at night and found that Zhou Yu was dying.

Again, Zhou Yu is alive, after all, it is not in the interests of Liu Bei's group, even if he is regarded as an elder brother by his wife.

To a certain extent, Zhang Xi felt that he should have a common language with the three generals

Forget it, hide it in your heart, and don't say it.

After a few days like this, although Sun Shangxiang felt that Zhang Xi seemed to have something on his mind, he really didn't pay too much attention to it.

One, Sun Shangxiang also has her own things to do, she has to learn how to run a house.

On the other hand, Sun Shangxiang also knew that Zhang Xi would come into contact with many core secrets of Liu Bei's group, and these things could not be leaked casually, even if it was his own family.

What's more, Sun Shangxiang has only been married for a long time, and there is still a strong Jiangdong brand on her body, even if Zhang Xi wants to avoid suspicion, she will not say some things to her.

Sun Shangxiang understands these.

Since Zhang Xi didn't say it, and Sun Shangxiang didn't ask, we have to be a virtuous and good wife.

And in the past few days, things have been developing step by step after all.

Guan Yu gathered Jiangxia's army in Xiakou, which naturally attracted Jiangdong's attention, especially now that Zhou Yu was stationed in Baqiu, Sun Quan also wanted to know Liu Beijun's purpose.

At this time, Sun Qian crossed the river and asked Zhou Yu the reason for the troops in Baqiu, and after thinking about it for a long time, Sun Quan finally decided to have a showdown with Liu Bei.

Zhou Yu's troops in Baqiu were to march into Yizhou to capture Yizhou.

Not only that, Sun Quan also invited Liu Bei to send troops together, and the two sides joined forces to attack Liu Zhang, and after taking Yizhou, the two sides divided Yizhou equally.

Sun Quan is putting all the cards on the surface.

And the reason for this, on the one hand, is that Zhou Yu is ready to set off at any time.

On the other hand, Sun Quan didn't want the Sun-Liu alliance to break down, so he adopted this way of retreating as advancing.

Regardless of whether you Liu Beitong agree to jointly send troops, anyway, I have informed you, fulfilled the friendship of allies, and also clearly told you that Zhou Yu's troops Baqiu are not aimed at Ling, and the Sun-Liu alliance is still there, if you break the alliance because of this, it is your responsibility.

Again, I have already informed you that I am going to Yizhou, if you agree, then fine, we will send troops together, and when Liu Zhang is destroyed, we will divide it equally, but if you don't agree, then you have to let go of the waterway, let us pass, and we can't get stuck in our logistics supply line.

You can't just take it yourself, and you won't let me take it, there's no such reason in the world, right?!

Sun Quan's trick made Liu Bei very uncomfortable.

Does Liu Bei want to take Yizhou?!

I definitely want to.

But split equally with Sun Quan?!

That's definitely not going to happen.

In the next two years of development, maybe I will be able to monopolize Yizhou by myself, so why should I share it equally with you.

Originally, if Sun Quan hadn't explained his words and didn't invite Liu Bei into Sichuan together, then Liu Bei could still pretend to be confused, and from time to time he would have resupplied the eastern army of the Kajiang River, or simply guard the waterway of the Yangtze River and prevent Zhou Yu from going west through the mouth of the Youjiang River.

It's a big deal to talk about it afterwards, blame each other, and then find each other to go down the stairs, and the matter will be over.

But Sun Quan's direct showdown this time made Liu Bei uncomfortable.

Because Sun Quan only gave Liu Bei two choices, and Liu Bei had to choose one.

Or, let's go to attack Yizhou together and divide it evenly afterwards.

Or, I'll attack Yizhou myself, and you, as an ally, can't get stuck with me, and you can't block the way.
