The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 82 Zhuge Liang’s two tigers competing for food
Zhang Fei also said anxiously at this time:
"Did the military advisor have a clever plan to defeat Cao's army?!"

"Even if I risk my life, I, Lao Zhang, will help my elder brother turn this crisis around!"

Guan Yu hurriedly stood up and said:
"Now that things have come to this, sir, please make it clear!"

"Guan is willing to cut off the rear for our army!"

"It's not a pity to die if your body is broken into pieces!"

Hearing that Kong Ming had another clever plan, the three Taozi brothers seemed to have grasped at straws!
Even Sun Qianjianyong, who had been dejected next to him.

He also raised his head!
They also want to know what Zhuge Kongming’s plan is!
It can save everyone from danger!
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly when he saw this and said:
"Since the lord and you all can trust me, then I won't hide anything!"

"I do have a plan, but this plan is a bit risky!"

"If it fails."

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei and the others couldn't help it!

It's better to have a solution now than to sit still and wait for death!
Liu Bei even said quickly:

"Our army is now at a point of life and death!"

"As long as it can save our army from fire and water."

"Sir, if you have a good plan, be sure to obey it!"

Zhuge Liang also took a deep breath and said:

"What the lord said is true. Now our army is in danger!"

"That thief Cao will never give up easily!"

"And now that the eldest son Liu Qi has died of illness, we cannot stay in Jiangxia for long!"

"For the present plan, it is better for our army to go south and take Changsha."

"In this way, we can not only escape the chaos in Jingxiang."

"Cao's army can also be ordered to expand their front line and face Sun Quan from the east of the Yangtze River directly in Jingzhou."

"In this way, two tigers compete for food."

"Our army will have a chance to breathe!"

Zhuge Liang is worthy of being the top strategist in the world.

Not only does he have a strategic vision far beyond ordinary people.

He also knows the local customs of Jingzhou very well.

Jingzhou has criss-crossing water systems and many ports.

Among them, there are five or six in Jiangxia County alone!

Wulin, Hanyang, Shiyang, Xiakou, Sanjiangkou, Chibi.

They are all well-known developed ports in Jingzhou, making it extremely convenient to travel south or north.

Not only trade flourished, but armies could easily gather here.

And Jiangxia County is located at the strategic point of the Yangtze River.

It not only connects Jiangdong, but also is an important town in Jingxiang.

The cities under his rule were located north and south of the Yangtze River.

It is a battleground for military strategists who combine defense and offense!

Liu Biao sent Huang Zu to guard this place, but he did not change his position for more than ten years.

First, Huang Zu was Liu Biao's favorite general and was quite trusted.

Secondly, it is also because this place is too important. If it were to be guarded by someone else, it would be impossible.

It had long been defeated by Jiangdong Sun Quan!
After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao and Sun Quan.

It even divided Jiangxia into two.

Among them, the city north of the Yangtze River was guarded by General Wenpin.

Wenpin remained untouched until his death.

It undoubtedly shows that this place is a place of four battles, and it cannot be defended without strong generals in water battles.

But Liu Bei's army is now weak.

Without Liu Qi, this great cause, we would not be able to gain a foothold.

Even if he wins Jiangxia, won't he be attacked by a joint attack from the two families?
There is another shortcoming, that is, Jiangxia has experienced many wars.

Not the perfect base for recuperation.

Ten years ago, this place had a prosperous population, with a population of 150,000!
That's why Huang Zu was able to support tens of thousands of naval troops by relying on this place.

Coupled with some funding from Liu Biao, he competed with Sun Quan for several years.

But later Huang Zu became too old and too weak to be reused.

And because he had a grudge against the Sun brothers for killing their father.

Jiangdong became increasingly powerful under Sun Quan's rule.

Huang Zu feared the revenge of the Sun family in Jiangdong.

As a result, they resorted to militarism and fought with Jiangdong almost every year.

Years of wars have resulted in a sharp decline in the number of people under his rule.

When Huang Zuchu took over Jiangxia.

The original population of 150,000 dropped to less than 100,000 in ten years.

Not only was the population insufficient, but the food and supplies also relied on blood transfusions from Xiangyang every year. Huang Zu had previously relied on Liu Biao for funding.

On the other hand, he extended an olive branch to the powerful local gentry.

Exchange gold and silver for local support.

With such barely surviving, the country became increasingly poorer and poorer.

But the poorer you are, the more scared you are and the more you have to fight!

Now that the vicious cycle has begun, the people of Jiangxia are not living a good life.

Therefore, the situation in Jiangxia is not stable.

It turned out that in the past few years, Cao Cao gradually unified the northern part of the Central Plains.

Under the breathless pressure of Cao Cao, a behemoth.

The two families in Jingzhou and Jiangdong have formed a tacit understanding behind the scenes.

Start to gradually reduce friction and cultivate and recuperate.

But later, under Sima De's operation.

The two families fought again in Jiangxia!
Now Huang Zu acted directly.

Jiangxia is also in danger of losing its troops and generals.

In other words, Jiangxia is no longer the best choice for Liu Bei and others.

On the contrary, Changsha is not only rich in population, but also in a superior location!

The population of Changsha County is second only to Nanyang County, which was the largest in the Han Dynasty.

It is the most important county among the four counties in southern Jingzhou.

Sun Quan's father, Sun Jian, once served as the governor of Changsha.

Moreover, Changsha County is located in the south, far away from the Central Plains region.

Retreating to take Changsha would not only cause Cao and Sun to fight.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Bei and others can use Changsha's manpower and material resources to make a comeback!
If we take advantage of the situation, we can take the three counties of Guiyang, Lingling and Wuling.

It can even turn around and threaten Cao Jun's confidants in Jingzhou!

Liu Bei and others also understood everything at once.

After hearing this strategy, my eyes suddenly lit up!
"This is a brilliant plan! The military advisor is really far-sighted!"

"If we can capture Changsha, our army will be able to turn the crisis around!"

"You can also make those two families fight, and I'll reap the benefits!"

Liu Bei also hit it off with Zhuge Liang at this time!
The faces of everyone around him suddenly became much better.

Only Jian Yong next to him said with a frown:

"However, our army currently has no more than 10,000 soldiers."

"How can we get to Changsha if we are short of food, grass and supplies?"

"You must know that Changsha is controlled by Han Xuan."

"How could he surrender Changsha to his lord?"

Everyone reacted when they heard this, and their faces suddenly became solemn.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said:

"What Xianhe said is true, but aren't the soldiers' baggage in front of you?"

"Liang now has a plan to revive the dead."

"It may be able to solve our army's urgent needs!"

Resurrecting a dead body? ? ?

Everyone's attention was attracted by his words.

When Liu Bei heard this, he quickly raised his hands and said:

"What does this mean by reviving a dead body? Sir, please elaborate!"

Zhuge Liang no longer sells his words at this time.

But he whispered to his lord:
"My lord! Now the eldest son Liu Qi is dead."

"But everyone in Jingzhou knows that he has a very good relationship with his lord!"

"Now the general of Jiangxia is Huang She, the son of Huang Zu."

"We can go into Xiling County first and offer property to lure this person."

"Take advantage of his unpreparedness and go to Xiakou Village to mobilize troops!"

"Fake rumors that we have a suicide note from the eldest son Liu Qi!"

"Let's just say that Cai Mao deceived the owner and kept it secret, and the seller wanted glory!"

"Dedicate Jingxiang to Cao Cao!"

"Before the eldest son died, he asked the lord to call on the old troops in Jingzhou to fight against it!"

"In this way, our army will win the hearts of Jiangxia generals."

"Then you can rely on boats to go down the river, and it's easy to get to Changsha!"
