My father is Yuan Shu?But I want to be a Cao thief

Chapter 264 Fearful Liu Biao, Liu Bei is in command!

Jiangxia, inside Shaxian City.

A grand celebration banquet began.

Huang Zuna, who attended the banquet, was quite depressed, because today's theme is to win Jiang Xia, and he is the loser, living on his last breath by surrendering.

"General Huang is a man who knows the current affairs, and I will offer you a toast." Zhao Fan picked up the wine bottle and laughed heartily.

All the generals raised their glasses, and Huang Zu was flattered and drank a bottle, his gloomy mood somewhat dissipated.

"General Huang, the dead bones in Liu Biao's tomb, and the dragon and phoenix in my master, one will perish sooner or later, and the other will rise to the sky sooner or later, and become the true dragon of this world."

"Remember, the history books are written by the victors. No one will care if you surrender today. The world will only know that you who know the current affairs are heroes and are praised by others."

Zhao Fan patted Huang Zu on the shoulder and said heartily.

Huang Zu was stunned for a moment, but he could think about it in his heart.

"General Huang, in fact, my lord is very optimistic about you, but your current state is not very good. If you continue like this, the general will be like this for the rest of your life!"

Zhao Fan said in a low voice.

"Please tell me the general," Huang Zu asked.

"Hey, I can't talk about advice, but I do have some insights. Now Jiangxia is almost all in my master's hands, and the next aggressive goal is nothing but Jiangling and Xiangyang."

"Xiangyang is tightly guarded, and Zhang Yun's retreating army guards it. I'm afraid it will be difficult to take it down. On the other hand, Jiangling doesn't know the general's surrender at this moment. The general can deceive the city gate with his troops and take Jiangling down in one fell swoop."

"As long as the general takes Jiangling, then the general will make great contributions to the capture of the entire Jingzhou. At that time, he will follow the lord around and become a servant of the dragon. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"

Zhao Fan smiled heartily.

In fact, this matter was deliberately arranged by Chu Feng for him to talk about. It is impossible to guarantee that Huang Zu would not have any other ideas by directly arranging it. It would be better to tell it like this.

Huang Zu thought for a while, but nodded in his heart.

It is indeed good to win Jiangling, this credit is on his head, at least he can get more rewards.

"Thank you, General Zhao, for your reminder. I will ask my lord to seize Jiangling." Huang Zu nodded, and the initiative to ask for orders is very meaningful.

"Well," Zhao Fan nodded, looking at his leaving back, the corners of Zhao Fan's mouth curled up a bit, Chu Feng was simply playing with human nature to the extreme.

Maybe he was dissatisfied with taking the initiative to order, but he did the opposite, but Huang Zu's eyes were full of credit, and he was very nervous.

After the celebration banquet was over, in the early morning of the next day, Huang Zu led his troops to sail westward by boat and headed straight for Jiangling. At this moment, Jiangling probably didn't know about his surrender.

----

A few days later,
Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

Zhang Yun left his troops in the middle of the Han River to fortify the Chu army to prevent the Chu army from continuing to go north, while he continued to take a boat to Xiangyang, wanting to explain the matter clearly.

Inside the general's mansion, Liu Biao rushed over.

At this moment, most of the civil and military personnel in the mansion have arrived.

In the first place, Liu Biao shouted impatiently, "Zhang Yun, what happened, and Huang Zu, why didn't he come back with you to see me?"

"My lord, you still think of Huang Zu at this time, this person has already rebelled against Chu Feng." Zhang Yun was annoyed, and he was still angry when he mentioned this name.

"Rebel against Chu Feng?"

"Impossible, it's impossible!"

"Huang Zu has followed me for many years, is he the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? There must be a misunderstanding." Liu Biao waved his hands, with a look of disbelief.

"Hey, misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"

"My lord, people's hearts are separated from the belly, and even ants steal their lives, let alone human beings? Seeing that Chu Feng is powerful, Huang Zu secretly threw himself at Chu Feng, and prepared to offer me a place of difficulty."

"If it wasn't for the last general struggling to break through and break through, I'm afraid what my lord saw would not be the last general, but Chu Feng!" Zhang Yun snorted coldly,
Naturally, it is necessary to add oil and vinegar to embellish it, so it sounds like how powerful I am.

"What's going on!" Liu Biao asked thoughtfully.

"My lord, by the time I arrive, Shaxian City has already been lost. Later, Huang Zu took the initiative to contact me and said to make an appointment to capture Chu Feng, and I agreed."

"But before the time came, there were rumors in the army that he had surrendered to Chu Feng. Naturally, I didn't believe it. On the one hand, I sent someone to verify it, and on the other hand, I investigated the movements of the Chu army."

"But at this moment, the Chu army made a move. Thousands of warships assembled. Among them, I saw two large ships with yellow flags. I saw with my own eyes that Huang Zu took refuge in Chu Feng."

"My lord, what the last general said is true." Zhang Yun clasped his fists and said sonorously.

"Phew!" Taking a deep breath, Liu Biao slumped down on the seat, as if his strength had been drained, he was at a loss, Huang Zu descended?

"My lord, you know people, you know your face, you don't know your heart, but the matter has come to this point, we should remedy it as soon as possible, otherwise the situation will be even worse." Kuai Liang frowned and said hastily.

"That's right, the matter has come to this point, we should come up with countermeasures as soon as possible." Another general said.

"My lord, almost the entire territory of Jiangxia is in the hands of Chu Feng. I have already left troops in the middle of the Han River to prevent any invasion, but no one in Jiangling may know about it."

Zhang Yun said.

"How many soldiers and horses does the Chu army have?" Liu Biao asked.

"Originally there were at least 30,000 boatmen and [-] infantrymen, but now there are [-] people under Huang Zu's command, and there are probably [-] people." Zhang Yun explained.

"Is Chu Feng there?" Kuai Liang asked.

"I didn't see it, I shouldn't be there." Zhang Yun shook his head, he did not see Chu Feng, and Gan Ning and Zhao Fan were mainly in charge of his department.

"My lord, since the Chu army captured Shaxian and occupied Jiangxia, the next most dangerous places are Xiangyang and Jiangling. Xiangyang is the gate of Jingzhou, but Jiangling is the state government."

"Don't lose both of them! Now that the Han River is guarded by General Zhang's soldiers and horses, and Chu Feng can't get through for a short time, the last general thinks that he should send troops to Jiangling immediately."

Kuai Liang said hastily.

He didn't want to change the boss at this time. As the boss, Chu Feng definitely didn't take care of the Kuai family as well as Liu Biao. At this time, Kuai Liang naturally had to do his best.

"That's right, send a message to Jiangling as soon as possible and ask them to strengthen their guard." Another general seconded.

"I'm afraid it's too late!" Yi Ji came out, clasped his fists and said in a deep voice, "My lord, when Zhang Xian is on his mission, he will pass through Jiangling. Because Jiangxia and Changsha are guarded by two lines, Jiangling's defense is lax."

"Now, Huang Zu suddenly surrendered to the Chu army. If I were to command the general of the Chu army, I would definitely let Huang Zu lead the army westward immediately and seize the city of Jiangling."

"Thinking about it, Jiangling's guard is not aware of the situation, so he will definitely let him enter the city. I am afraid that Jiangling City has already fallen into the hands of the Chu army, and our troops fighting in Changsha may not be able to withdraw."

Yiji's words are concise and to the point.

"This!" At this remark, the audience was in an uproar.

Everyone listened to Yi Ji's analysis and thought his analysis was reasonable. Jiangling was not prepared before. After all, there was Jiangxia Huangzu on the eastern front and various generals on the southern front.

Looking at it this way, the Chu army has already penetrated deep into the hinterland?
Xiangyang is four to five hundred miles away from Jiangling. At that time, Chu Feng only needs to send people to take Xiangyang directly. I'm afraid.
Thinking of this, Liu Biao turned pale. How could this be so, and said immediately, "Yi Ji, what do you want? What should our army do now?"

"My lord, now that Jiang Xia is lost and Huang Zu has surrendered, the worst-case scenario is that Jiangling has changed hands. We might as well make two-handed preparations."

"First, Jiangling is not lost, and the general will immediately take over the defense of Jiangling City, and stand ready."

"Secondly, if Jiangling is lost, we should immediately organize the surrounding forces to take back Jiangling. Jiangling is the hinterland of our army. We must chase it away, otherwise Jingzhou will be in trouble."

Yiji's analysis is quite logical.

"Well said, who should be sent to take over Jiangling, or command the surrounding soldiers to take back Jiangling?" Liu Biao asked hastily. In Liu Biao's view, Jingzhou's talents are withered.

"The Chu army is as fierce as wolves and has tens of thousands of soldiers. It must be a highly respected general. I don't know General Cai." Yi Ji cupped his fists to point out.

For a moment, everyone looked at Cai Mao.

He is the one with the highest official position in Jingzhou, and he is also the one with the greatest military power, so he is the only one who is most suitable.

"The safety of Xiangyang is equally important. I will be responsible for defending Xiangyang in the end. As for Jiangling, my lord needs to find someone else." Naturally, Cai Mao was unwilling to go.

Although he has enough rights, he doesn't want to die.

However, when he heard him say this, the corners of Yiji's mouth curled up obviously, but few people noticed it, and all of this was within his expectation.

"My lord, since General Cai refuses to allow it, there is another candidate. This person is no worse than anyone else in terms of qualifications, and his ability to lead troops to fight is not bad."

"The most important thing is that this person has blood feud with Chu Feng, so he can definitely be trusted." Yi Ji bowed and said with a light smile.

"You mean?" Liu Biao was stunned.

"Liu Bei, Liu Xuande. This person is a clan member of the Han family. He is of the same lineage as the lord. He also regards himself as benevolent and virtuous. He is admired by scholars all over the world. The most important thing is that this person has a sworn feud with Chu Feng."

Yi Ji clang introduced.

He has visited Liu Bei many times, and believes that this person is definitely not a person who has been depressed for a long time. In history, he also took the initiative to vote for Liu Bei and was used by Liu Bei.

"This"

In the general's mansion, all civil and military officials hesitated.

Liu Bei and the others knew so much, and some wanted to refute, but when they thought that if Liu Bei couldn't go, let them go, they wouldn't be able to carry it, so it's better to let him go!
"My lord, the pawns under General Liu have trained for many days, and they are worthy of a battle." Yi Ji added fuel to the flames.

"Do you have any objections?" Liu Biao looked at the crowd and asked.

For a while, everyone acquiesced. Although Liu Bei was not liked by others, it was a good thing that Liu Bei could come in at a critical moment.

"Since you all have no objections, then let Liu Bei be the general who will attack Chu Feng. Come, and immediately go to Xinye to summon Liu Bei as his general."

"Leading [-] troops, combined with [-] front-line soldiers and horses, a total of [-] troops, defending or recapturing Jiangling." Liu Biao said loudly, giving Liu Bei all hope.

The biggest benefit for him is that this person has the hatred of taking his wife and killing his brother with Chu Feng, so it is impossible for him to surrender to Chu Feng, he can only fight to the end.

"No!" The personal guard agreed and retreated immediately.

"My lord, the general thinks that although Liu Bei has both ability and political integrity, there are many dissatisfied in the army. He should send a general to accompany him, and pretend to be with him to subdue the army."

Yiji is obviously favoring Liu Bei.

"Sure!" Liu Biao nodded, as long as he could win the battle, he didn't care about these things anymore.

"In addition, although Liu Bei is in charge of [-] troops, he is not necessarily Chu Feng's opponent. I beg for your order to secondly investigate Zhang Xian and negotiate with him to send troops to help."

"Work together and drive Chu Feng out together." Yi Ji said in a deep voice with an excited expression.

"Can it be done? After all, Zhang Xian is also a deadly enemy with our army!" Liu Biao raised his eyebrows, somewhat worried.

"You have to try to see if you can succeed. What's more, there is no absolute enemy in the world. If our army is destroyed, Zhang Xian will not be far from death. He understands this truth."

Yi Ji spoke very solemnly.

All civil and military officials nodded in unison. Yi Ji is right. At this moment, if you can get more power, you can get more power. It is necessary to negotiate with Zhang Xian.

"Okay, be careful all the way!" Liu Biao reminded, "Do you have other important matters? If not, go down and make arrangements immediately. In addition, Xiangyang is urgently mobilizing, recruiting new soldiers, and hoarding supplies."

"Promise!" All civil and military personnel agreed together.

----

Jian'an four years, early October.

In October, it officially entered the early winter season, the weather began to turn cold, and the people who came and went added a few more clothes.

Nanyang, the boundary of Xinye.

Nanyang was originally the imperial capital and the largest county in the world. The population of a county is comparable to that of other people's states. However, due to repeated wars and rampant plagues, the population of Nanyang has dropped sharply.

There are only one or two out of ten of that year.

In Xinye City, the city is small and the land is sparse, and a few people are in a hurry.

And Liu Bei has been here for a while, and he has gone from having no soldiers to now [-] infantry. Although they are recruits, Guan Yu's training is not ordinary, and he has some combat power.

"My lord, I'm overjoyed, overjoyed!" Jian Yong showed joy and rushed over with great interest.

Liu Bei was processing the paperwork. For the past half a year, he had done everything himself, and he had stabilized the refugees from the surrounding counties.

"Why do you like it?" Liu Beifa asked.

"My lord, there is news from Jingzhou that you are going to be in command, my lord, to command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and to compete with Chu Feng and Jiangling." Jian Yong said excitedly.

"What did you say? Take command and set off?"

Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, and stood up directly.

"Really, the paperwork has been delivered." Jian Yong said, and handed over the paperwork. It was impressively written on it that Liu Bei should come to command the battle.

"Haha, good, good!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed and almost burst into tears. After a long time, he finally had a chance to fight Chu Feng again. This time he must kill Chu Feng to avenge his revenge.

Next to him, a scribe raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "My lord, Liu Biao suddenly asked you to go out in command. I'm afraid something happened in Jingzhou."

"If my guess is correct, the Chu army is likely to take Jiangxia, and even Jiangling is already under the control of the Chu army. This battle may not be easy."

Liu Bei became serious in an instant, looked at the scholar and said in a deep voice, "Yuan Zhi, what do you think?"

"My lord, dangers and opportunities exist side by side. My lord is going up to take over this battle, but if you give me the post of princess coach, if you fight well, you won't have a chance."

"Take a step back, even if the fight is not good, the lord can take this opportunity to recruit talented people. Even if Jingzhou changes, the lord can go to Yizhou."

Xu Shu cupped his fists and said in a low voice.

"Is that a fight?" Liu Bei asked.

"Of course, regardless of victory or defeat, this battle is extremely beneficial to the Lord!" Xu Shu nodded in affirmation.

"Is there any chance of winning?" Liu Bei asked.

"I don't know yet, but it should be a few percent." Xu Shu replied.

"The order is that the three armies will light the fire at the third shift tomorrow, and leave the city at the fourth shift to go straight to Xiangyang. This battle must be won." Liu Bei shouted confidently.
