Chapter 434 The Explosive Liu Biao

After all, Gongsun Lu's current territory in the late Han Dynasty basically covered the entire northern Han Dynasty.

Boss Cao's territory in the Central Plains was surrounded by Gongsun Road, whether from Heluo in the west or Qinglu in the east.

As long as Gongsun Lu is willing, he can attack his homeland by attacking Puyang with the navy, whether from the direction of Guanzhong, Qingzhou, or directly sending troops across the Yellow River from Yecheng!
Especially this last route of march, Cao Cao felt that he might not be able to stop it!

Don’t forget, Liaodong’s navy is world-famous!
And the only thing he can take out in his hand is cavalry.

Now the entire Yellow River is still in the hands of others!

Therefore, in order to protect himself, Cao Cao did not dare to be idle in the past two years.

On the one hand, actively make allies, and on the other hand, work hard to attack Jingchu and expand the territory. I hope that if there is a fight in the future, I can leave a retreat and a deep rear for myself! !

As for the allies, Boss Cao considered for a long time, and finally he chose Sun Ce. Firstly, he only had cavalry in his hands, and now the navy only had a little in Xuzhou. Koto of the sea is not realistic either.

On the other hand, Sun Ce was brave and strong, and was much more difficult to deal with than the old and comatose Liu Biao.

What he has to fight now is an opponent who is much stronger than himself. From the perspective of Cao Cao, who has a big picture view, he now needs a helper instead of a pendant!
Secondly, as long as he can defeat the nine counties of Jingchu, he will be able to open the passage to Bashu. Liu Zhang is also easy to bully. After defeating Jingchu, he will attack Bashu.

Liu Biao is just a household dog, but Liu Zhang is worse than him, so Boss Cao is still very confident that he can deal with it.

By then, he will be able to occupy half of the world in the southwest of the Han Dynasty. Even if Yanzhou and Xuzhou and Yuzhou in the Central Plains cannot be defended, he will be able to advance and retreat in a controlled manner.

Moreover, the terrain of Jingchu and Bashu is complex, easy to defend but difficult to attack, the land is fertile, and the people are abundant!If you run it well, it will also be a good foundation!Here, you can recuperate and wait for the opportunity!
Even if you die, you won't be able to dominate the world, but you can still rule half of the country!Leave a legacy for future generations!

However, it was not like he was unaware of Sun Ce, so before the alliance, he made an agreement with this overlord.

Cao Jun attacked Nanjun from Wancheng, while Sun Ce attacked Jiangxia along the Yangtze River. The two sides attacked Jingzhou from the north and the east!Without interfering with each other, how much territory can be won depends on their respective abilities!

Although they planned at the time that he would take over the five northern counties of Xiangyang and Fancheng in Jingzhou, while Sun Ce would occupy the four counties in southern Jingzhou!
The two of them share the land of Jingchu with Jiangling as their boundary!

Of course, neither Cao Cao nor Sun Ce can completely follow this agreement. As long as conditions permit, they do not recommend eating the entire Jingzhou and cheating a wave of allies!
But now the actions of the two are relatively in harmony!

At least on the surface, they didn't make any small moves with each other.

Facing the joint attack of Cao Cao, the overlord of the Central Plains, and the Little Overlord of Jiangdong, Liu Biao did not show any disadvantages, and even responded actively!

Although he is old here, it does not mean that this veteran warlord will bow his head and accept his fate under the hands of Cao Cao and Sun Ce!

You know, Liu Biao was also known as the Eight Horsemen back then, some of the most beautiful boys in the Han cultural circle, and the first batch of powerful warlords after the world was in chaos!

It is absolutely impossible to say that he has no backbone and courage.

Don't forget that he was also a great man who single-handedly conquered Jingzhou!

Cao Ahao, the bastard of the Sun family, wants to treat me like a soft persimmon, fine!
Although my household dog is old, its teeth are still very sharp!It depends on whether your bones are strong enough!

Liu Biao acted very quickly. On the one hand, he actively contacted Liu Zhang from Bashu and successfully signed an alliance.

Although Liu Zhang was weak, there were still many talented people in Yizhou because of its vast land, rich resources, and outstanding people.

Therefore, it is natural to see that Cao Cao and Sun Ce's ambitions will never stop at Jingchu, and they still understand the truth of lip loss and tooth decay!

Therefore, under the advice of Yizhou's special commander Zheng Du and his general Zhang Ren, Liu Zhang reluctantly agreed to the alliance proposed by Liu Biao.

However, he refused to directly send troops and horses to assist Liu Biao, and was only willing to transport grain, grass, supplies and armaments to Jingzhou through the Bashu Three Gorges Pass and Fangling!

Although Liu Biao was a little disappointed!But it’s not too disappointing!
After all, although they are both Han clan clansmen, their relationship is not very good. I think back then, when Liu Yang died and Liu Zhang first came to power, he sent his counselor Liu He to secretly collude with Bashu officials to rebel against Liu Zhang. Ning escaped from Bashu at that time.

So he was indifferent to Liu Zhang.He was somewhat prepared in his mind!

At least now there are no hidden dangers on the west side, and we can have more food, grass and armaments.

On the other hand, he sent his confidant general Wang Wei with [-] naval troops to join Huang Zu in Jiangxia, preparing to block Sun Ce's navy, which had [-] troops from Chaisang going up the Yangtze River.
In the north where Cao Cao attacked, he boldly activated Liu Bei, who had defected to Jingzhou a few years ago, and ordered him to lead General Wenpin's [-]-horse infantry to station in Fancheng, forming a close relationship with Zhangxiu's troops in Wancheng who had been attached to Jingzhou. Help yourself to defend Xiangfan in the north!

In addition to arranging troops and horses, he also secretly sent his advisers Kuai Liang and Yi Ji to Yecheng, hoping to persuade Yan Gong Gongsun Lu to send troops to rescue him!

I have to say that his operation was very wise. Cao Cao was temporarily blocked at the foot of Wancheng by Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei, unable to advance even an inch.

Although the fighting on Jiangxia's side was not very good, they suffered a lot of casualties.

But Huang Zu was originally a powerful person in Jiangxia. He had been operating here for many years, and he also insisted on staying in the Xiakou area, preventing Sun Ce from getting closer.

After all, Sun Ce's father Sun Jian died in his hands. If he loses, this guy won't let him go!

So for the sake of his family's life, Huang Zu also used his whole body coefficient!
For a time, with one against two, Jingzhou actually maintained a fairly stable situation for the time being!
Not only that, in addition to foreign aggression, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the war, Liu Biao directly deprived Cai Mao, the naval commander who had been in charge of Jingzhou's military affairs, of his authority, and asked his son Liu Qi and nephew Zhang Yun to personally escort grain and grass to the east and north fronts. !

Although Cai Mao was extremely dissatisfied with this, he had no choice but to do so. Liu Biao had occupied Jingzhou for many years and had great prestige and righteousness.

Another sudden attack.

The handle of the knife was in someone else's hand, so Cai Mao had no choice but to bow his head!

For a time, Liu Biao's authority in Jingzhou reached the highest level since he took charge of Jingzhou!

The fierceness of this guardian dog was unexpected for Cao Cao and Sun Ce, but as the saying goes, there is no turning back. The two of them planned it for nearly a year.

Taking advantage of the Gongsun Road in the north to recuperate, it is rare that there is no movement. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity, I am afraid that once Fang Beifang reacts, there will never be such a good opportunity again!
For a time, the war in Jingbei and the Yangtze River was raging!

"So, Kuai Liang and Yi Ji are already here!"

Gongsun Lu sat on the main seat and gently stroked the soft and soft tail of the fox cub in his arms.

For some reason, Su Mei has been very sleepy since she arrived in this plane, and she sleeps all day long!

"He arrived three days ago and has been placed in the post house by us. Lord, do you want to meet him?"

Lu Su came out and asked.

"No need to meet!"

Just when the civil and military officials thought that Gongsun Lu refused to send troops to Cao Cao to assist Liu Biao, Gongsun Lu stood up directly and said with a smile:

"Inform them directly that we have agreed to this matter and order Zhang Liao, Taishi Ci, and Gan Ning to prepare their troops and send troops in a month!"

There was no hesitation in what he said!
You know, Gongsun Lu's current enemy is the mastermind behind the destruction of Heaven, so there is no time to care about other things!
He is no longer interested in playing hegemony games with these princes. Since he has some time in this world, he might as well calm down the troubled times!

Gongsun Lu's general gave an order, and Zhang Liao, who was stationed in Guanzhong, Taishi Ci in Qingzhou, and Gan Ning, who was in charge of leading the navy on Wo Island, took action after hearing the news.

Zhang Liao led troops from Guanzhong and Liangzhou to attack Luoyang, while Tai Shici led troops from Qingzhou to directly invade Puyang.

Gan Ning was the most decisive and directly approached Guangling in Xuzhou with a navy of [-] men.

For a time, there was a war going on all over the Central Plains, and battle reports poured in from Xuchang, Yanzhou to Cao Cao on the front line!
