Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Guo Jia, Xun You, and Cheng Yu, who were following Cao Ang, also laughed when they saw the carts of grain.

In this good harvest year, they were naturally very happy. The tax revenue from the imperial court increased and they had money, which meant that Cao Ang could recruit and train more troops.

Xun You first looked at Cao Ang and asked: "Major General, the north has been initially determined, and all the states and counties in the pass are under control. Who should we target next?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked towards Cao Ang.

When Cao Ang heard this, he looked at the counselors in front of him, and then said with a smile: "Okay, let's write down all our thoughts, and then see how many people have the same thoughts. ,how?"

"it is good!"

"Young General, these are wonderful words!"

Everyone had no objection to Cao Ang's proposal, so they walked away, found a straw stick, and started writing on the ground.

In fact, Cao Ang has already made plans for his next plot.

After Dong Bai came back, Cao Ang also learned from the other party's mouth that the civil strife in Xiliang was really fierce.

Therefore, Cao Ang had no intention of interfering, so he just let them fight internally first.

Next, Cao Ang plans to set his sights on the princes in the south.

Currently, among the princes in the south, the most powerful is Liu Biao of Jingzhou.

As for Liu Zhang in Yizhou, although he has commanded the entire Yizhou, Cao Ang did not take him seriously.

After all, this bit of family business in Yizhou was acquired by Liu Zhang's father, Liu Yan.

As for Liu Yan, he really has some abilities, but because his family background is too small, it is really not easy to build Yizhou as a foundation.

If Yizhou is still in the hands of Liu Yan, then Cao Ang will have to consider taking Yizhou first.

It's a pity that Liu Yan is dead now. Liu Zhang has taken control of Yizhou with the help of local wealthy families, but his ability is just that.

Although there are methods to rectify Zhang Song and other capable ministers, they cannot truly know people and make good use of them, which is not a cause for concern.

In the end, only Sun Jian, who occupied the four counties in Jiangdong, was left.

Sun Jian and Liu Biao have been fighting fiercely at the junction of Yangzhou and southern Jingzhou.

And Sun Jian himself is a fierce general, plus Sun Ce, Gan Ning and the generals from Jiangdong, it can be said that there are really a lot of fierce generals.

On Liu Biao's side, he originally had generals such as Huang Zhong, Li Yan, Wenpin, and Huang Zu under his command, who could compete with the Jiangdong generals.

However, it is a pity that Huang Zhong finally left Jingzhou and defected to Cao Ang because of suspicion and provocation.

Huang Zu was also killed after Zhou Yu and Sun Ce used a trick to defeat Guiyang City.

The only remaining generals such as Li Yan and Wenpin were really stretched when facing the Jiangdong generals.

In addition, Sun and his son have a think tank like Zhou Yu to assist them, which is even more powerful.

As for Liu Biao's advisers, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and others, they could only defend themselves against Zhou Yu's strategy.

But even with all-out defense, there were still several cities in southern Jingzhou that were occupied by Sun Ce.

If you want to counterattack, you still don’t have enough generals under your command!

The strength of the Jingzhou Army has a certain advantage over the Jiangdong Army.

However, there were too few generals who could lead the army alone. The Jingzhou Army was at a disadvantage every time in battles with the Jiangdong Army.

Considering these factors, Cao Ang decided to use his mobile phone on Jingzhou Liu Biao first. If we can capture the nine counties of Jing and Xiang, we can take Jiangdong to the east and Yizhou to the west.

In this way, the world can be settled!

Thinking of this, Cao Ang took a wooden stick and wrote the word Jingzhou on the ground.

Soon, everyone else had finished writing.

Not surprisingly, the counselors and Cao Ang had the same ideas.

Guo Jia also wrote about Jingzhou, Xun You wrote about Jingxiang, and Cheng Yu was more direct about Liu Biao.

Several people looked at each other's writing and laughed.

……

At this time in Jingzhou, Liu Biao didn't know that Cao Ang was already planning to attack him.

A few days ago, Liu Bei fled from Xuzhou and fled to Jingzhou to visit Liu Biao.

However, Liu Biao was seriously ill due to the successive defeats of the Jingzhou Army, so he never met Liu Bei.

This time, his illness improved a lot, so he officially held a banquet to receive the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

After Liu Bei saw Liu Biao, he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Jingsheng, I heard that my brother was ill a few days ago, but he is feeling better now."

"Thank you, dear brother Xuande, for your concern. I'm much better now. This is all thanks to my wife's careful care!" Liu Biao responded politely, and then praised Mrs. Cai without revealing any trace.

Cai Hao, who was sitting aside to keep him company, was very impressed by these words.

After all, if his sister is favored, then his power in Jingzhou will be greater.

Everyone began to chat with each other, the wine passed three rounds, and the dishes passed five flavors.

Liu Bei then politely asked Liu Biao: "Bei once heard that my brother fell ill because of some troubles. I don't know what these troubles are so I can't tell you. Let Bei make suggestions for you." Ichiban?"

Hearing this, Liu Biao smiled bitterly and said: "There is nothing that cannot be said about these troubles. It is not because of the tight war with Jiangdong."

"After Guiyang was occupied by that boy Sun Ce, he began to capture the counties around Guiyang. Now Lingling and Leiyang are in danger."

"In addition, I am old and somewhat useless. Being entangled with these troubles, I naturally fell ill."

Having said this, Liu Biao looked at Liu Qi aside and said, "Fortunately, my son is up to par. During the time when I was ill, he took care of things in Jingzhou in an orderly manner."

When Liu Qi heard the praise, he hurriedly said: "Thanks to my father's careful teachings, coupled with the careful assistance of uncle Kuai Liang and uncle Kuai Yue, the child was able to stabilize the situation in Jingzhou."

"Master Liu Qi is young and promising!" When Liu Bei heard these words, he praised Liu Qi.

Cai Mao on the other side looked really ugly.

When Guan Yu saw Cai Mao's unkind expression, he didn't say anything more. He just narrowed his eyes and gave Cai Mao a sideways look.

Zhang Fei, an outspoken guy, said directly: "What do I think is such a big deal? It turns out that it's just a kid like Sun Ce who beats your Jingzhou army to retreat?"

"I think it's better to give my eldest brother some troops and let him take my second brother and me to the south to help you drive out that boy Sun Ce. How about that?"

When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly said: "Third brother, don't talk nonsense!"

After saying this, Liu Bei cupped his fists and apologized to Liu Biao: "Brother Jingsheng, my third brother has always been outspoken. Please don't mind me, brother!" (End of Chapter)
