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

Sun Jian and Sun Ce, father and son, were both a little dazed by the laughter.

After a while, seeing Zhou Yu's laughter slowly subdued, Sun Jian asked: "Why is Gong Jin laughing?"

Zhou Yu smiled at Sun Jian and Sun Ce and said, "My lord, Bo Fu, please take a look!"

Having said this, Zhou Yu pointed to the map and began to say: "This time, Cao Ang led Cao's army to attack Zhang Xiu stationed in Nanyang from Runan."

"And we can take Jiangxia directly from Yuzhang County!"

After Zhou Yu said this, he shook his feather fan and began to analyze by himself.

"If Cao Ang leads his troops to attack Zhang Xiu who is stationed in Nanyang, whether Liu Biao helps or not, then his strength will be greatly weakened."

"This Nanyang County has a lot of Liu Biao's troops. He placed those soldiers there, nominally for Zhang Xiu to command, but in fact, most of those soldiers were used to contain Zhang Xiu."

"Now, the war in Nanyang is about to begin. If Liu Biao wants to help Zhang Xiu, then the troops of Nanyang County will be assigned to Zhang Xiu's command. If he does not want to help Zhang Xiu, then he will be even more unwilling to help the soldiers of Nanyang County. Dare to move."

"In case this action makes Cao Ang think that Liu Biao wants to help Zhang Xiu, then the difference between helping and not helping will not be big."

"In addition, this Jiangxia is the granary of the entire Jingzhou, and 80% of Jingzhou's money and grain are stored here."

"As long as Cao Ang leads his troops into Nanyang County, none of the soldiers in Nanyang County will be able to move."

"If we take the opportunity to attack Jiangxia, the only troops Liu Biao can mobilize, apart from the troops from his Nanjun headquarters, are the only troops from Changsha."

"As for the soldiers and horses in Changsha, we only need to let Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other generals lead their troops to feign an attack from Guiyang to contain them."

"In this way, Jiangxia can be taken, and Jingzhou can also be taken!"

After Zhou Yu made some analysis, Sun Jian and Sun Ce both clapped and applauded.

"Okay, after listening to Gong Jin's analysis, I think Jingzhou is ours!" Sun Jian laughed.

Sun Ce on the other side looked at the map, and then asked Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, do you think Cao Ang's intention to attack Zhang Xiu who is stationed in Nanyang is also Jingzhou?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu smiled, stretched out his finger, clicked on the map and said, "Cao Ang spent so much time attacking Zhang Xiu in Nanyang. His ultimate goal must be Jingzhou!"

When Sun Ce heard this, he asked in surprise: "If this happens, won't Cao Ang also attack us?"

After hearing these words, Zhou Yu shook his head again: "No, I will only take Jiangxia. Cao Ang will think that we are helping him, and he will never say anything more."

"In addition, after we took Jiangxia, we began to transport money and food to Yuzhang. In this way, even if Cao Ang wants to take Jiangxia back afterwards, we will give it to him."

"He got an empty shell of Jingzhou, and what we got was most of Jingzhou's money and food. In this way, we still make more!"

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Sun Ce had no objection.

"Okay, then I will wait and watch Cao Jun's every move. As soon as they step into Nanyang, we will send troops to Jiangxia."

Sun Jian also spoke in agreement at this time: "In addition, I will also let General Cheng Pu and General Huang Gai go over in Guiyang County in advance."

Soon, all the arrangements for Jiangdong were finalized.

……

After Liu Biao got Cao Ang's reply, he couldn't help but cursed: "Shuzi, how dare he reply to me like this? Even his father has to be polite to me, how dare he refute my face?"

When everyone heard this, they knew that Cao Ang had not sold face to Liu Biao at all.

At this time, a scout hurried over again. "My lord, Cao's army has already marched from Runan to Nanyang."

"Damn it!" Liu Biao was so angry that he smashed things.

Fortunately, Kuai Yue saw that it was almost done and persuaded him in time.

"Lord, the matter has come to this. It won't help if you get angry again. Let's think about how to deal with what happens next."

When Liu Biao heard this, he said angrily: "Why don't you think about it? Of course I'll beat him. Since Cao Ang doesn't give me any face, then I won't give him any face and just beat him!"

Brothers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, as well as these counselors, felt that they should really fight Cao Ang.

After all, the other party takes action as soon as he says it, without caring about the past feelings.

In this case, let's all compete and see how good they are before making a final conclusion.

As for the result, it is naturally determined by the fist!

Liu Biao and the counselors in Jingzhou all felt that they could have a chance with Cao Ang.

But the generals didn't think so.

Although there are rumors all over the world about how rich the land of Jingzhou is, how much food there is, and how many troops and horses it can raise.

But in fact, only after they actually fight will they know how high the combat effectiveness of this team is.

Take the Jingzhou Army's attack on the Jiangdong Army as an example.

Before this, the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou Army could compete for the title of No. 1 in the world.

But taking this result as an example, it is so unsatisfactory.

Jiangdong Army and Jingzhou Army fought several times, but Jingzhou Army never had an advantage.

Although there are differences between generals and strategies, in fact, it is still a question of the quality of the troops.

Although the Jiangdong Army existed for a short time, they had been quelling the Yellow Turbans and conquering the rebels since the beginning of their establishment, and they had never stopped fighting along the way.

As for the Jingzhou Army, although it also became famous when it conquered the Yellow Turban Army, it has participated in very few wars since then.

Ever since Liu Biao entered Jingzhou and before Cao Ang took action against Yuan Shu, the Jingzhou army had not participated in several major battles.

Therefore, although Jingzhou's military expenditure seems to be high, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers it produces is average.

Those civil servants and counselors do not go to the battlefield very often, so they will not know the actual combat effectiveness of this army.

However, Li Yan and other generals knew it.

And they also knew that Cao Jun's iron army fought from east to west, from Huainan to Liaodong.

Such an army is very powerful in combat.

They didn't want the Jingzhou Army to go head-to-head with such an army.

As for Liu Biao, as he got older, he rarely went to the military camp, let alone inspecting the army.

Li Yan, as the current head of the generals of Liu Biao's group, stood up and persuaded: "My Lord, I don't recommend you to do this!" (End of Chapter)
