Cao Cao's army invaded Nanyang, Jingzhou was shaken, and it was rumored that Cao's army besieged Wancheng, and Liu Qi was unable to support it alone, which made people panic.

Don't drive Liu Xian, Dong Cao Peng, Fu Xun and others have advised Liu Biao, asking him to transfer back Liu Qi, send an envoy to Cao Cao to make amends, and cede Nanyang to solve the crisis.

Liu Biao spent all day in the school palace writing with Qi Wuhong, Song Zhong and others, and handed over military and political affairs to Kuai Yue and Liu Pan, ignoring them.

Zhang Ji went to Xiangyang to diagnose and treat Liu Biao, and after his condition improved, he concentrated on writing, no longer intervened in political affairs, and was determined to complete his "Five Classics and Chapters and Sentences" and leave it for future generations.

After experiencing the affairs of the Cai family, Liu Biao truly understood that the biggest regret in this life was not Jingzhou, but that his life's painstaking study of the scriptures and the lecture notes of Yi Zhixue were never written.

Song Zhong saw Liu Biao driving these officials away, and sighed: "Cao Cao has coveted Jingzhou for a long time, Nanyang is in an emergency, why did Ming Gong turn a deaf ear?" ”

Liu Biao smiled faintly: "My father and son were ordered to guard Jingzhou, and they should be governed together in life and died together, so what are you afraid of?" As long as these classics are passed on to future generations, there will be no regrets in this life! ”

Song Zhong sighed: "What Ming Gong said is extremely true, we are waiting for a book to be written, just like a general going into battle to kill the enemy, and we will not hesitate to do so." ”

Liu Biao nodded and smiled: "My son has grown up, and he has defeated Cao Jun several times, taking Nanyang and capturing Cao Ren is enough to be proud of the heroes, if he is defeated by Cao Thief, it is also the will of heaven!" If the sky is absolutely hot, how can manpower do it? ”

When a group of Confucian scholars heard Liu Biao's words, they immediately shook their heads and sighed, over the years, if Liu Biao hadn't taken them in, established scholars, and sought Confucianism, life and death would be unpredictable at this time, let alone writing books.

In the palace, Liu Pan was also worried when he learned the information about Nanyang, and discussed with Kuai Yue: "Dalang was surrounded by Cao's army in Wancheng, should he send troops to rescue?" ”

Kuai Yue shook his head and said: "The eldest prince is not what it used to be, if you don't transfer troops, you can't act rashly, the most important thing now is to stabilize the hearts of the people in the territory, prepare grain and grass, and ensure stability before the army." ”

Liu Pan asked: "Then Zhuge Kongming, does he really have the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes?" ”

Kuai Yue smiled: "How can the Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chicks be in vain? Kong Ming I have seen several times, this person has an extraordinary demeanor, erudite and wise, not only has the talent of Guan Zhong and Le Yi, but also went to Wudang Mountain to seek Taoism for three years, astronomy and geography, yin and yang gossip are all refined, comparable to Zhang Liang and Deng Yu. ”

"How can there be such a strange person?" Liu Pan was secretly surprised.

Zhuge Liang's sister is Kuailiang's nephew and daughter-in-law, and then I think that Liu Qi has been to Wollongong twice in order to beg this person, and his confidence is a little more sufficient.

Thinking of this, Liu Pan said again: "I heard that Pang Shiyuan has returned to Xiangyang a few days ago, and Wolong has assisted the eldest prince, why not invite him to come out and protect Jingzhou together?" ”

Kuai Yue sighed: "Compared with Kong Ming's elegance and solemnity, Pang Shiyuan is cynical, and it is not easy to invite him out of the mountain." ”

Liu Pan said with a smile: "I'll invite you personally, Da Lang invited Wolong to go twice, but it's a big deal that I'll go three times." ”

Kuai Yue nodded slightly, and suddenly said: "Feng Xiao is the best thing in the cup, if the general can send some good wine, maybe it can touch his heart." ”

"What's so hard about that? I'll go now! Liu Qi was overjoyed and couldn't wait to invite Feng Xiao.

Liu Qi asked him to stay in Jingzhou, just to stabilize the rear, although he had a great responsibility, but he didn't go to the front line in person, he always felt a little regretful, and he was finally able to do one thing to help directly.

Rumors spread in Xiangyang City, and the undercurrent was surging, and in Liu Qi's mansion, Du Ling'er, who heard the news, was also a little uneasy.

When I returned to the bedroom, I took out a secret letter from the mezzanine of my makeup, read it for a long time, bit my full red lips, and replied.

Jingzhou is rainy and rainy, but Chaisang is sunny, and Poyang Lake is sparkling.

When Sun Quan learned that Cao Cao's troops had entered Nanyang, he couldn't wait to rush to Chaisang from Jianye to discuss with Zhou Yu about attacking Jiangxia and raising troops for revenge.

Zhou Yu was not in a hurry to send troops at this time, and said: "The situation in Nanyang is not clear, so you can't act rashly. ”

Sun Quan was puzzled: "Cao Cao is very good at using soldiers, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao were all destroyed by him, and it is difficult for Liu Qi to compete with him, and now he is trapped in Wancheng, and his survival is undecided, so why do you doubt it?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "The lord only sees the situation, but he doesn't see the troops!" Liu Qi attacked Nanyang, Cao Ren and Xiahou were defeated, and more than 100,000 Cao army elites were lost. ”

Sun Quan listened to Zhou Yu's analysis, suddenly woke up, nodded and said: "What Gong Jin said is extremely true, Cao Cao has conquered Hebei last year, and he went south before he had time to rest, and his army has been tired for a long time, and all the people of the Yuan family he has obtained may not all be attached, but they are actually a group of rabble. ”

Zhou Yu sneered: "Now that all the people in Jingzhou are united in resisting Cao, and after the successive victories, the military prestige has been greatly boosted, and Liu Bei's old department is eager to fight against the long-tired soldiers with the army of tigers and wolves, and has been invincible!" ”

Sun Quan was not willing to be just a spectator, and said: "Now that his two armies are facing Nanyang, there is no time to divide the troops, take this opportunity to take Jiangxia, Huang Zu is difficult to support alone, isn't it a good opportunity for revenge?" ”

Zhou Yu's eyes were slightly cold, and he hugged his fists to Sun Quan and said: "If the lord cares about personal revenge and looks at the present, at this time, it will be easy to take Jiangxia; If you want to achieve a great cause and take care of the overall situation, you need to be patient and wait for Jiangdong Tianshi! ”

"Koto Tianshi?" Sun Quan was puzzled: "What does Gong Jin mean by this?" ”

Zhou Yu said slowly: "Cao Cao is bent on getting rid of Liu Qixue and taking revenge, mobilizing nearly 500,000 of the original army, and spending countless cars, horses, money, and food. ”

"Cao Cao defeated Nanyang?" Sun Quan was stunned, stroked his beard and was silent.

In his heart, Cao Cao was already so strong that he was invincible, otherwise he would not have repeatedly obeyed his will, and even wanted to send his son to Xuchang to accompany him.

Even if he confronts Liu Qi, he can retreat with his whole body, and continue to increase troops to Nanyang, and Jingzhou will not be guaranteed sooner or later.

If it is really as Zhou Yu said, Cao Cao returned defeated, not only was the north shaken, but the Central Plains soldiers and horses had been exhausted, wouldn't it be a golden opportunity to march into Xuzhou?

Thinking of this, Sun Quan was excited: "Gong Jin is saying, the soldiers of Huainan? ”

Zhou Yu nodded and said: "Only Huainan soldiers and horses may not be able to take Xuzhou, and if the soldiers do not move, they will wait for the opportunity, go down the river, and advance directly to the Central Plains by land and water." ”

"I see!" Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard this, stroked his palms and smiled: "The first brother once said, if you don't decide to ask Gongjin about foreign affairs, you will not deceive me, if you can open up a foundation for the Sun family, and the matter of revenge will be tried later, I think my father and brother can also forgive." ”

Zhou Yu smiled indifferently and said, "Huang Zu has been a dry bone in the grave, so there is nothing to be afraid of!" Even if this thief is removed, the land north of the river and the lonely city cannot be defended, wouldn't it be handed over to the Cao thief? I stayed there for a few more months, but it was really to stop Cao Bing. Even if Cao Cao won in Nanyang and the lord sent troops from Huainan, Cao Cao wanted to rush to help, but he couldn't do it! ”

"High, really high!" Sun Quan was stunned.

If there was no Huang Zu guarding Jiangxia, Cao Jun could go down the river and take Huainan directly, and Zhou Yu was far-sighted and convinced by Sun Quan.

couldn't help but get up and grab Zhou Yu's arm, full of pride: "There is a lonely Gongjin, why worry about big things?" ”
