"Now that Cao Thief's southern expedition to Sun Quan is imminent, shouldn't we also prepare to take this opportunity to take Xiangfan in one fell swoop and recover Nanyang ......?"

In the governor's mansion, pointing to Xiangfan and Nanyang County, which are close to Jiangling on the map, the second master who was in charge of Dong Du's Jingzhou military affairs was excited.

There is no way, because of Liu Chan's operation for more than a year, Jingzhou now, whether in terms of money, food or troops, is almost the same as the Northern Expedition of the second master in the original history.

In addition, at this time, Cao Ren was also transferred to the direction of Huainan, in the second master's opinion, the current Nanyang County area is the time when Cao's army is empty, so he naturally doesn't want to miss this great opportunity.

"Yun Chang, according to the secret report of Tianwang, although Cao Cao went to Huainan this time, although Cao Ren and other generals were transferred, but most of the soldiers and horses were the leading troops and the Central Protector Army, plus the soldiers and horses of Shouchun, Hefei and other places, but the soldiers and horses of Nanyang were not how to be transferred......"

Unlike the second master, Pang Tong, who is the left protector of Skynet, is a little inopportune at this moment, pouring cold water on him.

"Haha, why should a military advisor be ambitious. Even if Cao Cao didn't transfer Nanyang's soldiers and horses, my Jingzhou soldiers and horses still have an advantage in numbers. What's more, as long as our army goes on a northern expedition, the lands of Xiangfan and Nanyang will definitely be attached to the clouds......"

shook his head, but he didn't care much about Pang Tong's reminder to the second master, but laughed confidently on his face.

You must know that Nanyang is the land of Emperor Guangwu and one of the five capitals of the Han Dynasty. There are many sons and daughters of the meritorious marquis who are loyal to the Han Dynasty and the people.

In addition, now that Cao Cao has established Wei as king, anyone with a discerning eye can see that if he wants to revive the Han Dynasty, he can only hope for Liu Bei's group.

Therefore, if it is the Second Master's Northern Expedition, there will definitely be no shortage of those who have a big heart and respond to the army.

In fact, the reason why the Northern Expedition of the second master in the original history was able to shake China, and even forced Cao Cao to almost move the capital to escape, in addition to the fact that the second master's martial arts and military strength were really strong, a large part of the reason was also because of the support of the officials and people along the way.

Especially in the Wancheng area, it was the response of the city's officials and people. If it weren't for the lack of troops at that time, how could there be anything later.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, sending troops to Jiangdong at this time to 'respond' to each other is indeed a good time to take Xiangfan and Nanyang.

However, a theory is a theory after all. Not to mention Cao Cao's cunning, there will definitely be a balance left to deal with Jingzhou's backhand, as for Sun Cao's seemingly large-scale battle of wet beards, Liu Chan clearly knows that the two sides did not fight hard, let alone have any real losses.

It can even be said that, from a certain point of view, this battle of wet whiskers is just a 'play' staged by both sides for their respective needs.

"Second uncle, if Sun Quan can stalemate with Cao Cao in Huainan in this battle, there will naturally be no problem in taking Xiangfan, Nanyang and other places with the ability of the second uncle. But according to the little nephew's understanding, Sun Quan doesn't have the kind of self-sacrificing mind......"

Seeing that the second master didn't take Pang Tong's dissuasion seriously at all, and was still obsessed with the Northern Expedition at this time, Liu Chan could only go out in person to warm up the second master, who was already a little hot.

"Second uncle, you also know that Sun Quan has always been obsessed with Jingzhou. If we send troops to the Northern Expedition at this time, Sun Quan will compromise with Cao Cao or even surrender at that time, and fight with Cao Cao to attack us from the north and south, and then with my Jingzhou troops, even if my father sends troops from Yizhou to help, it may not be too late......"

In order to stop the second master's idea of going on a northern expedition at this time, Liu Chan directly put the original book or what Sun Cao did a few years later in the original history in front of the second master in advance.

"Hmph, Jiangdong rats dare to hear!"

Hearing that Liu Chan directly moved out of Sun Quan's worries, the second master, who was originally obsessed with the Northern Expedition at this time, couldn't help but change his complexion.

"Hehe, second uncle, you also said that Jiangdong monarchs and ministers are rats. Even if they are rats, what can't they do under the eyes of rats? Besides, this matter is not without precedent, otherwise Changsha Guiyang ......"

In order to stop the second master's heart of the Northern Expedition at this time and highlight Jiangdong's worries, Liu Chan had no choice but to expose the scar of Sun Quan's sneak attack on Jingnan.

"Adou, the second uncle only needs 20,000 soldiers and horses. The rest of the soldiers and horses were used to guard against the blue-eyed children......"

What Liu Chan didn't expect was that even though Liu Chan had moved out of Jiangdong's worries, the second master still didn't want to let go of the 'opportunity' in front of him.

"20,000 soldiers? Second uncle, little nephew believes that with your ability to command the army, there will be no problem for 20,000 soldiers and horses to take Xiangyang, Fancheng and even Wancheng. But the problem is that all the way north, staying in the city and guarding the prisoners all the way requires troops......"

Looking at the second master's arrogant expression, Liu Chan couldn't help but be speechless in his heart.

You must know that the reason why the Northern Expedition of the second master in history finally failed, in addition to Sun Quan's sneak attack and backstabbing from behind, the forces in his hands were too scattered, and the lack of mobile troops in the end was also a very important reason.

"When the time comes, the troops will be too scattered, and Cao Cao and Sun Quan will attack from the north and south, second uncle, even if you have the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to transform ten thousand people, right?"

Speechless to speechless, Liu Chan, who knows the second master's temperament, can only take the method of first raising and then suppressing, and try to say this tactfully as much as possible.

"So, do you kid agree to the dispatch of troops this time? Why do you cringe so much? ”

Seeing that this doesn't work, that doesn't work, just like Jingzhou is to Sun Quan, the second master who is also thinking about Xiangfan and Nanyang can't help but be angry.

It's just that anger is angry, but if Liu Chan doesn't agree to send troops, he, the Xiangyang Taishou who supervises Jingzhou's military affairs, really can't do anything. After all, Liu Chan is not only the young master of the entire group, but also has the real power of Dong Doujing's military and political affairs.

"Haha, the second uncle laughed. It's just a hundred thousand grandchildren, and it's not enough to scare the little nephew. The little nephew just doesn't want to pull back and forth with the enemy like a tug-of-war...... Either we won't fight, or if we want to fight, we will fight hard, and we will fight directly! ”

didn't care about the second master's angry expression, but Liu Chan confidently drew a big circle along the entire complete Jingzhou and Jiangdong on the map.

"A war is decided? Boy, don't you have too much appetite! ”

Looking at the complete Jingzhou and Jiangdong that were directly encircled by Liu Chan, the second master, who was still angry just now, was also stunned by his thoughts at this moment.

You must know that although Sun Quan is not as good as Cao Cao in terms of troops, he can still make up more than 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers and horses.

And Liu Chan actually wanted to swallow the entire Jiangdong in one bite while recovering Xiangfan, Nanyang and other places. With such a big appetite, let alone him, even Liu Bei or Cao Cao probably wouldn't dare to think like this, right?

"Haha, the little nephew's appetite is indeed bigger. But don't worry, second uncle, as long as we are ready and sharpen our minions first, there will be no bones that can't be gnawed......"

Faced with the second master's suspicion, Liu Chan smiled confidently and did not explain too much.

"Boy, you have a kind of second uncle's appetite, but I don't know it...... Hahahaha! ”

In the end, with a more ambitious goal, Liu Chan finally succeeded in persuading the second master who wanted to send troops to the Northern Expedition at this time.

"By the way, your second aunt said that she hadn't seen you for a long time and missed you very much...... I have prepared a family feast today, and you can go back with me later! ”

Just when Liu Chan was still relieved that he had successfully persuaded the second master to send troops to the Northern Expedition at this time, there was a sudden invitation from the second master to let him go to the family banquet.
