Lu Bu's Sims

Chapter 335 Liu Bei seeks Jingzhou

When the Guandu Cao army began to counterattack frantically, Yuan Shao of Bohai also led the army to seize the opportunity of the main force of the Northern Liang army to disperse and start a counterattack.

The northern battlefield became intense in an instant. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao jointly launched a crazy counterattack on the four main battlefields of Bohai, Hejian, Anping, and Guandu.

Gao Gan, Yuan Shao's nephew in the Hejian battlefield, led an army of 15 to start a counterattack. At the same time, Yuan Shao in Bohai directly recruited an army of [-], and started the mighty road to regain lost ground.

After Anping died following Han Mengzhan, Zhang Liao hurriedly led the army back to the Bohai Sea area. Facing Yuan Shao's massive counterattack, the army that rushed down to Beiliang could only be forced to defend.

Although Anping Han Meng died in the battle, it can only be said that the battle on the main battlefield is over, and tens of thousands of Yuan troops are still resisting in the siege area, and the [-] army of Beiliang is still restrained here.

Not to mention Guandu, Cao Cao led an army of 20 to launch an attack. It seemed that the situation in the Northland had changed dramatically in an instant.

After the war against the northern land, Jingzhou.

"My lord, the princes of Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao in the north are now fighting like tea, we should take this opportunity to pacify Jingzhou first."

"Also, my lord, although the grain and grass sent by Jiangdong can relieve the temporary needs, Jingzhou is still in Liu Biao's hands for many years. Only when we capture Xiangyang can we get the grain and grass in Jingzhou. In this way, our military is no longer under the control of others."

When it was reported that Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao in the north started the war wildly, Liu Bei hurriedly called the whole army to discuss, and the military adviser Chen Gong was the most dazzling star in this meeting.

The words of his confidant military adviser Chen Gong not only won the approval of the generals in the army, but also made Liu Bei couldn't help admiring: "What the military adviser said makes sense."

"Although our army has conquered most of Jingzhou, the food and grass used by the army can only be barely supplied. If we want to start another war, we will need the grain that Jingzhou has hoarded for so many years."

From here, we can see the degree of prosperity of Jingzhou. Let alone the fight for so long, just say that the combined army of Liu Bei and Liu Biao is not 30, but it is almost the same.

However, the affluent Jingzhou has been stable for so many years, and the power accumulated after so many years is huge. It is a miracle for the world that such a magnificent war is only in Jingzhou.

To put it bluntly, since Liu Biao settled in Jingzhou, there have been only a few occasional war frictions over the years, and the battles between Jiangxia and Jiangdong are the most intense.

After so many years of peace and stability, Jingzhou, which was already affluent, has accumulated a thick family background.

"A group of villains in Jiangdong, how could it be so easy to feed Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's children if we didn't use a thousand horses."

"That's right, to put it bluntly, Jiangdong is just taking advantage of the fire."

Some of the generals only saw the current situation. Although Jingzhou is full of water, a small group of cavalry is almost invincible in combat. Of course, the generals in the army are reluctant to part with their horses.

But Liu Bei couldn't help laughing at the grumbling generals, "Don't worry, everyone, a group of war horses will come from Xiliang in the near future."

"Xiliang? My lord, although the horses in Xiliang are majestic, they belong to Lu Bu? Will he let Lu Bu go so easily?"

Some people were puzzled, Liu Bei couldn't help laughing, and finally looked around at the generals, Guan Yu, who was still the leader of the generals, squinted his eyes and stroked his long beard with one hand and said indifferently: "Nowadays, the princes of the three routes in the north are fighting, and no one wants to provoke them again. The rest of the princes, especially my lord, have already settled down in Jingzhou, with 20 soldiers, and it would be unwise to invite us to join the battlefield with a mere thousand horses."

Guan Yu's words immediately made all the generals look suddenly enlightened. It turned out that this is the case, so the northern princes really turned a blind eye.

Seeing the admiration of the generals, Guan Yu nodded proudly, "Also, our army exchanged war horses and Jiangdong for food and grass. It is actually the key to forming an alliance."

"Jiangdong has already begun to mobilize the army frequently. It is clear that he is going to prepare a surprise attack on Hefei. Cao Cao should be the one who has a headache. We just need to rest assured and stabilize Jingzhou first."

"General Guan is worthy of being a great general in the world."

"General, General Guan."

Among the generals, some were sincere, while others pretended not to understand and smiled and flattered them. Although Guan Yu was the number one general under Liu Bei's account, since they chose Liu Bei, they stood in line, and of course they had to get along well.

Looking at the happy generals, Liu Bei couldn't help grinning from ear to ear, these are his future team members.

"Military division, what should our army do now?"

Liu Bei nodded secretly, turned around, and asked his confidant military adviser involuntarily.

Chen Gong bowed his hands to Liu Bei, then looked around at the generals, his eyes revealed seriousness, and pointed to the map hanging on the screen with his palm.

"Everyone, look at the current situation in Jingzhou. Now we have occupied most of Jingzhou's territory. Liu Biao is only able to survive by joining forces with Yizhou's [-] troops."

"At present, the northern princes have started a melee. We should seize the opportunity to take Jingzhou before the northern hegemon is determined, and recuperate until the northern hegemony is determined. No matter who it is, it will be broken, that's it!"

When he said this, Chen Gong looked at Liu Bei and the generals in the tent with his face flushed with excitement, and shouted directly: "The northern princes are weak, and it is time for us to make great achievements. To attack Guanzhong, we can take Lu Bu's land in Guanzhong as the place to go." foundation."

"To attack the Central Plains, we can take the lands of Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou."

Hearing what the military adviser said, Zhang Fei, who had a thick back, grinned and clapped his hands and shouted: "The military adviser means that as long as we end the war ahead of schedule, we will wait for Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao in the north to be exhausted from fighting." , we can fight whoever we want, and the other princes have to curry favor with us."

haha~
Immediately all the generals burst into laughter, and Chen Gong also smiled and nodded at Zhang Fei's words, "What the three generals said is true, the Jingzhou army that is recharging its energy is a vicious tiger, and the princes of the three routes in the north are already weak. The dog, don't you think we slaughtered it?"

haha~
The idea was good, but it was successful. Although Chen Gong's face was full of smiles, there was actually a sense of urgency in his heart. Jingzhou was not as easy to attack as he imagined.

When Chen Gong finished analyzing the situation and the princes and generals left excitedly one by one, the smile on Chen Gong's face gradually disappeared.

"Military division, do you have a clever strategy to calm down Jingzhou?"

To say that Liu Bei and Chen Gong are confidantes, and in a short period of time, Liu Bei has figured out the character of his military adviser. It's not that Liu Bei was the only one who showed suspicion after everyone left.

Seeing his lord's concern, Chen Gong shook his head with a wry smile and sighed.

"My lord, Liu Biao has a lot of experience in running Jingzhou for many years. Our army just took the advantage of surprise and the northern soldiers of Xinye who are good at fighting. Now that Yizhou's [-] troops are helping, I'm afraid this battle will not be easy."

"Not even one. After Jingzhou falls into a stalemate, I am afraid that after waiting for the three princes in the north to decide the winner, Jingzhou will still be a weak sheep waiting to be slaughtered."

Just now, Chen Gong also treated the northern princes as cattle and sheep, but this is mutual, if they can't end the war in a short time, they are also cattle and sheep.

After hearing this, Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, and then with trembling tears in his eyes, he stepped forward and held Chen Gong's hands heavily, and said with tears in his eyes: "Military teacher, such a big man fell by the side, Cao Cao coerced him The emperor thinks that the princes are the Han officials, and they are the traitors of the Han. Lu Bu in Guanzhong does not respect the emperor's order, but pays homage to the Empress Dowager He, who has not shown up for many years, and even assumes the post of prime minister of the Han Dynasty. the difference."

"There is also the Yuan family of the four generations and three lords. Yuan Shu's ambition is so great that he is king and his conspiracy is known to everyone in the world. How can Yuan Shao escape from the relationship?"

After some words, Liu Bei was even more tearful, and sighed sadly: "The fall of the big man is all caused by the cholera of this group of turbulent thieves. As a member of the Han family, how can I sit idly by and let my husband save me?" I, Liu Bei, have saved my great man from thousands of miles of land."

What he said made Chen Gong's blood boil, and he directly raised the ambition of fighting for hegemony to the righteousness of supporting the Han Dynasty, if it succeeds!Then history will fall heavily, how can he not be enthusiastic.

In the spacious handsome tent, under the quaint ornaments, although Chen Gong was excited, he was a rare counselor in the world. He suppressed the desire in his heart in just a moment, took a deep breath, and quickly put himself in a calm state. middle.

"My lord, although the palace has a plan, it may be able to solve the current chaos in Jingzhou, and even give the lord an excuse to threaten Liu Zhang in Yizhou."

After taking a deep breath, Chen Gong hesitated, and finally said what was in his heart in a concentrated voice.

Immediately after hearing this, Liu Bei stepped forward excitedly and grabbed the hands of his confidant military adviser and tremblingly said: "My Liu Bei is a military adviser like a fish in water, a fish in water, a military adviser, teach me quickly."

I saw that Chen Gong, who was dressed in a blue scholar's suit, looked a little hesitant, and finally let go of Liu Bei's hands slowly, and habitually held the hilt of his waist with one hand, turning his head to avoid Liu Bei's attack with a slightly embarrassed expression. His gaze seemed to be escaping from something.

"My lord, since ancient times, those who have achieved great things can bend and stretch, and those who have broken the situation in Jingzhou are also very simple."

The embarrassing Chen Gong turned his head, not daring to look at Liu Bei, and Liu Bei was even more taken aback when he heard that, seeing the expression of his military adviser, he suddenly trembled in his heart, it's not good!I'm afraid that this breaking point will happen to him.

"My lord, Liu Biao said that the army we rely on is only [-] Jingzhou troops, of which the [-] naval troops headed by Cai Mao are the main force. Cai Mao and Liu Biao are as solid as a solid rock."

"And Cai Mao is the head of the Cai family in Jingzhou. This person is related to the rise and fall of his family. To put it bluntly, he hopes to honor his ancestors while protecting his family."

Liu Bei was puzzled when he heard this, but Chen Gong's next sentence made him suddenly realize.

"The family alliance is nothing more than a marriage. Back then, Liu Biao married Cai Mao's younger sister to gain the support of the Cai family. That's how he is today."

"It is impossible for Cai Mao not to see through the situation in Jingzhou, and this person has always been cunning and good at speculating, so now Cai Mao seems to be loyal and wants to protect the Lord. To put it bluntly, it is just to earn a good reputation before this, and finally speculate That's all."

One sentence directly explained everything, and Chen Gong squinted his eyes and said in a concentrated voice: "Cai Mao helped Liu Biao just to exchange the last capital for the favor of the new owner, but if the lord, our bait is big enough?"

"The northern princes are victorious in fierce battles. As long as the lord can take down Jingzhou this year and take the opportunity to conquer Yizhou or wait for the right time, the lord will be the overlord. Compared with going to the new lord in the future, it is just icing on the cake, but for the lord Sending charcoal in the snow, how can Cai Hao not know the gap between them."

"What does the sergeant mean?"

Under Liu Bei's excited questioning, Chen Gong was embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "Only when the lord marries Cai Mao's sister, can he get the help of the Cai family, and can even drive a wedge between Liu Biao and the Cai family, even! Even if the promise is big enough, Cai Mao absolutely dares to risk the disapproval of the world."

What is it to marry a woman!This era is really nothing, you have to know that in the long river of history, Xiao Cao and Cao Pi have also made Zhen Mi his queen, and Liu Bei would be embarrassed.

However, seeing Chen Gong bowing his head, Liu Bei was startled, and it was only at this moment that he suddenly realized that it was so!That's right!
All the princes in the world have queens, but Liu Bei is the only one who has no descendants now!This is the biggest and most difficult thing.

"Haha~ Although Liu Biao has the heart of rebellious ministers, how can he implicate future generations. My Liu Bei and Liu Biao belong to the same clan. Jing Sheng's wife will be my Liu Bei's wife in the future, and Jing Sheng's son will be my Liu Bei's son in the future."

Seeing Liu Beiyi's stern words with a firm face, Chen Gong immediately bowed his hands in shame, "The lord is really the lord."
