Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

To the west of Jiangling City, Liu Bei's camp.

After Zhang Fei recovered, Liu Bei's army also participated in the continuous siege battle because of Zhou Yu's order, and suffered great losses.

Cao Jun was once recruited to surrender, but the strength of the greatly increased force immediately shrank by almost half.Only 4000 remained.

At this moment, there are only 1 people in Liu Bei's camp.

Because Liu Bei was divided, Zhang Fei led 3000 other troops to attack Yiling, Dangyang and other big cities in the west.

In other words, Liu Bei now has several cities as his foundation.After plundering money and food, Liu Bei also temporarily asked Zhou Yu to control their food.

Therefore, Liu Bei is mostly resting now, and did not follow Zhou Yu to attack Jiangling.

Rest and recuperate, and plan to seize the great city of Jiangling.

The arrival of Xu Shu's army in Jiangbei is such a big event, of course, Liu Bei can't hide it.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, Liu Bei sat at the top, followed by Guan Yu, Chen Dao, and Zhuge Liang.Because of the looting of several cities, Jian Yong and Sun Qian were sent to manage the cities.

Also because of having a meager family business, Liu Bei's face was a little red.

"Why did Xu Yuanzhi lead his troops to the north?" Liu Bei asked in amazement.

"With its strength, it is capable of attacking Jiangling. As long as Jiangling, a big city in the north of the Yangtze River, is conquered, the seven counties of Hannan will have the capital to gain a foothold in the north of the Yangtze River. Gan Ning's navy is very powerful, so that they can advance and attack, and retreat. Keep it." Zhuge Liang's expression was serious, Zhuge Liang never dared to underestimate this former friend.

"Kong Ming's words are wrong. It hasn't been long since Liu Feng died, and the soldiers and civilians under his tent must have been fluctuating. There is also news that Jiang Wan and others set out to kill many people because of this. How could Xu Shu's purpose at this time be to come?" What about competing for Jiangling?" Guan Yu said somewhat disapprovingly.

Guan Yu's strength lies in fighting in front of the battle, and his leader is invincible.But strategy is really not his forte.What the hell is Xu Shu doing?

Even Zhuge Liang couldn't guess it, let alone Guan Yu.

But because of this, Zhuge Liang knew that what Guan Yu said was wrong, Xu Shu must have had a purpose in going north, but he couldn't find words to refute.

"Then what is he here for?" Liu Bei asked.

"I don't know." Of course Guan Yu couldn't figure it out, so he said simply.

Liu Bei thought about it, and couldn't help judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"At present, Liu Feng is dead, and chaos is imminent in the seven counties of Hannan. Jiangdong has a great chance of winning. Does Xu Yuanzhi want to raise troops to attach himself to Zhou Yu?"

Liu Bei and Xu Shu had a very close relationship, but Xu Shu had a criminal record. He once planned to defect to Cao Cao for his mother's sake, but now that he saw nothing wrong, he might also be concerned about his mother's safety and turn to Jiangdong.

"Liu Feng treated him with great courtesy, and since Yuan Zhi's mother is still in the police station, it is impossible for Yuan Zhi to go to Jiangdong." Zhuge Liang shook his head.

As for Zhuge Liang, he trusted Xu Shu's character.

His words made Liu Bei embarrassed for a while.

So what is he here for?Could it be that they really want to compete for Jiangling with an army of [-] to [-]?

When everyone was full of doubts, Zhuge Liang raised his head and said to Liu Bei: "I believe that with Xu Yuanzhi's ability, it is possible to fight for Jiangling. He may even fight Zhou Yu. Don't forget, my lord, Liu Feng died in Jiangdong."

"That's right." Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he jumped up and said.

"Liu Feng died in Jiangdong, he must have come to avenge Liu Feng. Killing Zhou Yu is equivalent to breaking Jiangdong's arm." Liu Bei suddenly stood up, walking back and forth in the Chinese army tent, his expression was very excited.

If the speculation is successful, then there must be a battle between Xu Shu and Zhou Yu, either you die or I die.As for who wins and who loses, it is still a little vague.

Because there is not much difference in the number of armies between the two sides, Zhou Yu has about 5000 troops, and Xu Shu has [-] troops.

And not at their best.

On the one hand, there were a lot of wounded soldiers due to the continuous siege of the city. On the other hand, the coach was newly mourned, and morale must be lacking.

The best thing, and what Liu Bei wants to see the most, is that the two parties fight to the death.Liu Bei likes to pick up bargains.

There is a saying, don’t say it, just watch from the sidelines.

"When two tigers fight, one will die and the other will be injured. Just watch from the sidelines." Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, and Chen Dao looked at each other, and they all saw the meaning in each other's eyes.

Therefore, Liu Bei did not give an order very tacitly.If there is no order, there is no action, it is just to put on a posture and stand on the sidelines.

………………

In the southeast of Jiangling City, in the large tent of the Chinese army in Xu Shu's camp.

Xu Shu closed his eyes and meditated, there was no one else in the tent except Xu Shu and a close official.After a long time, Xu Shu took a deep breath, opened his eyes and asked.

"Is Liu Bei making any moves?"

"No action." The clerk replied immediately.This little official is Xu Shu's confidant, his eyes and ears, and he knows everything in detail.

"Old and cunning." Xu Shu sneered, Zhou Yu's army numbered [-], while Liu Feng's army was only [-] to [-].

No matter how the two sides calculate, it is a situation where the snipe and the clam are fighting for the fisherman's benefit.It is also reasonable for Liu Bei to choose to sit on the sidelines.

However, the army of the seven counties of Hannan cannot deal with some people according to the simple number of people.This sum, Cao Cao seems to have suffered a big loss, a total of five thousand tigers and leopards.

Beat his heart to bleed.

According to intelligence, Zhou Yu used a large number of Wu swords in this battle.This news was also one of the reasons why Liu Feng decided to make the Northern Expedition.

However, it is of course impossible for Zhou Jun's 6 people to be equipped with Wu swords.There are at most [-] to [-], so there are still a few cards in Liu Feng's hand.

One of them is Zhao Yun's cavalry.Zhou Yu's army may have a small cavalry force for scouting.But it is absolutely impossible to have a complete formation of [-] cavalry trained by extremely capable generals for a long time.

The use of this hole card is also thanks to the terrain in the Jiangling area.There are many mountains in Jingchu, but Jiangling is a plain.

There is room for cavalry.

Since Liu Feng led an army of [-] to the north, he had the confidence to defeat Zhou Yu in one fell swoop.A battle is a decisive battle, and there is no end to death.

Liu Bei's watching from the sidelines is definitely not as good as his.

Forget it, it's not planning for Liu Bei.It is to his own advantage to sit on the sidelines.

"Where's Zhou Yu?" Xu Shu put his hands on his knees and asked, moving his fingers very regularly.Compared with Liu Bei, Zhou Yu is the key.

"There is no action, but the troops are shrinking in the camp and resting." The clerk replied again.

Maybe it's because I have doubts in my heart, but that's okay.When the lord arrives with his troops and our forces are fully assembled, it will be Zhou Yu's death.Xu Shu thought in his heart.

"When will the lord arrive?" Xu Shu asked again.

"I don't know if my lord will come here in separate groups or with horses and infantry. If there are only cavalry, it will only take an hour to travel from Wulin to Jiangling. If it is a horse infantry, it will take two days." The little official replied.

"En." Xu Shu nodded.

Whether it is an hour or two days is not a problem.It was impossible for Zhou Yu to react, and the way forward was cut off again.

Unless Zhou Yu goes north and goes to Cao Cao.

Most of this trip to the north was expected.Xu Shu thought in his heart.

At this moment, a soldier entered the big tent and reported: "General, Luo Tong of the Zhou army's camp is asking to see you outside the door."

The two armies are at war, and the envoy?It seems that Zhou Gongjin really didn't realize that the decisive battle was imminent.

Xu Shu thought to himself.

"Please come in." Xu Shu adjusted his sitting posture and said to the soldiers who came to report.

"No." The soldiers responded, turned and left the big tent.

Not long after, Luo Tong walked in.

The first impression Luo Tong gave Xu Shu was that he was young, and then he was confident and energetic.It was the time of youth.

"Sima under the superintendent of the capital, Luo Tong pays his respects to General Xu." Luo Tong cupped his fists, bowed deeply to Xu Shu, and said loudly.

"What's the matter?" Xu Shu asked in shock.

"It's very simple. Under the order of the Great Governor, please enter Jiangdong as a general. If the general is willing, the Great Governor is willing to give up the position of the Great Governor." Luo Tong said a little arrogantly.

The so-called penetrating tongue may not necessarily be extravagant words, but some of them are about substantive interests.In Luo Tong's view, Jiangdong will surely prosper, and if Zhou Yu bestows Xu Shu with the position of governor, Xu Shu will be moved.

"The governor of Jiangdong may not be more powerful than me, General Yang Wu's Zhonglang." But he came to persuade him to surrender, Xu Shu couldn't help laughing.

Xu Shu's Zhonglang general is indeed not as high as Zhou Yu in terms of power.But the power is far worse.Under normal circumstances, Xu Shu controlled an army of 5000 people.Under normal circumstances, Zhou Yu would never control more than [-].

"If General Yang Wu is still there, then the general's power is indeed higher than that of the governor, but it is a pity that General Yang Wu has died at sea." Luo Tong was not discouraged, and his face was still full of confidence, said.

"Speaking of this, I don't even want to go to Jiangdong. Sun Quan is so heartless and ungrateful that he even killed his brother-in-law. I don't want to kill Sun Quan one day." Xu Shu shook his head sarcastically.

Luo Tong's always confident expression changed instantly.But he recovered in an instant, and said to Xu Shu in a deep voice, "General, it's serious. General Yang Wu died at sea, not by the hands of Marquis Wu. My brother-in-law, my direct relative, how could Marquis Wu have the heart to do harm?"

"It's just trying to cover up." Xu Shu shook his head. What he said was really boring. Anyway, Xu Shu didn't have the intention of surrendering. If he continued, it would be meaningless.Xu Shu said: "You go back and tell Zhou Yu that I will put a large army here. If you want to attack, I will accompany you. But if you persuade to surrender, you will be spared."

"General Xu is killing himself." At first he thought he could persuade Xu Shu to surrender with a few words, but he didn't expect this old man to be so tough, and Luo Tong felt displeased.

Fortunately, when I came, I had already thought of countermeasures.If the lure fails, then threaten.

Xu Shu maintained a calm expression on his face, but he was annoyed in his heart. It is normal for the two armies to fight with envoys.But the main party has already put on a posture to drive people away.But he still insisted on not leaving.

But it's really rude.

However, before Xu Shu lost his temper, Luo Tong showed his sword first.

"Now Liu Feng's bones have been eaten by the fish in the sea. The seven counties of Hannan are all supported by the general and a few veterans. It will not last long. The collapse is in sight. Even if the general does not think about himself, he must Think about the old mother at home." Luo Tong sneered.

They went directly to Xu Shu's mother. Xu Shu was forced by Cao Cao and almost went to the north. There were some rumors about this, Luo Tong knew.

In Luo Tong's view, this was Xu Shu's key point.As long as he grasps this vital point, Xu Shu will obey even if he refuses.

Jiangdong is about to prosper, and it is your luck to surrender.If you don't surrender, it's your death.

This counts as coercion.

Xu Shu's calm, calm face suddenly sank slightly.The changes during this period were all noticed by Luo Tong, who was staring at Xu Shu and looking at Xu Shu with a condescending manner.

He didn't know what Xu Shu was thinking, but he guessed that Xu Shu must be struggling in his heart.Sure enough, the old mother at home is his weakness.

Luo Tong, who thought he had grasped Xu Shu's heart, showed a look of victory on his face.

In his opinion, Xu Shu's surrender is almost a foregone conclusion.What is the calculation method for lobbying [-] troops to surrender?

Luo Tong had even begun to imagine in his mind what kind of reward Zhou Yu would give him after returning to Zhou Yu's camp.Zhou Yu's reward was actually only a small one.

After Wu Hou captured the seven counties in southern Han, Jiangling and other places, he returned to Jiangdong and rewarded him for his meritorious deeds. A Zhonglang general would not be able to escape.

There is even a chance to be called a general.

After all, it was young and vigorous, the more Luo Tong thought about it, the more the look on his face betrayed him, and the more he looked at Xu Shu with condescending eyes.

It makes people very angry.

Xu Shu was annoyed, really annoyed.

If it wasn't for Liu Feng's persuasion, he would have almost gone north and lost his mother.At that time, Xu Shu swore that his life would be tied to his mother's.To live together to live, to die together to die.I will never be at the mercy of others again.

Not to mention that Liu Feng is not dead today, the future is bright.Even if Liu Feng really died, Xu Shu would not consider going to others again.

And this guy in front of him actually threatened him with his mother.

At the same time that Xu Shu's face turned cold, the little official next to him was also ready, ready to call the soldiers outside the tent at any time to beat this madman out with a stick.

But at this moment, there was a tremor from the ground, at first it was just a slight tremor, but in the end it was like the earth shaking and the mountains shaking.

At the same time, the violent sound of horseshoes reached everyone's ears.

A smile suddenly appeared on Xu Shu's face, and the disciple really took the lead and divided the troops.With one man and three horses, they arrived in Jiangling within an hour, and the war broke out.

Thinking about it, Xu Shu raised his head and looked at this young man named Luo Tong. At this time, it is sad to be in the Jiangdong camp.

Luo Tong was called an idiot.The sound of horseshoes sounding like thunder, and Xu Shu's inexplicable eyes made Luo Tong realize something.

The cavalry is actually cavalry. Most of Cao Cao's cavalry should have retreated to the north during the Chibi War. The cavalry that appeared here could only be Liu Feng's cavalry.

It was rumored that Liu Feng had a general, Zhao Yun, who was a cavalry general under the tent of Gongsun Zan in the past.A long time ago, Liu Feng begged from Liu Bei to train cavalry.

Pang Tong is here.

Luo Tong's expression changed.
