The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be invincible in a hundred battles. If you only know yourself and don't know the enemy, half the battle will be won or lost.

General Liu Biao has always known himself and his enemy. After a while, all the civil servants and generals in Jingzhou gathered in the main hall. Because Liu Biao stopped writing in the past few years, the combat power of Jingzhou army has declined. Fortunately, this is a troubled time. , fighting every day, if not for this reason, Liu Biao would have dared to disband the standing army.

At this time, various civil servants and military generals stood on the main hall. The military generals included Kuai Yue, Cai Mao, Cai Zhong, Cai Xiong, Zhang Yun, Xiang Lang, Huo Jun, Li Yan, Chen Zhen, etc.; Wang Wei, Fu Xun, Deng Xi, Du Kui, Li Gui, Han Song, Yi Ji, Pang Ji, etc.

Liu Biao is more self-confident, and has always disliked being the first to speak. Instead, he always asks others to speak first, and then chooses a better one to show his virtuousness. In fact, Liu Biao has no idea.

Cai Mao was the first to speak: "Gu sentry report, recently Lu Bu led Xiliang cavalry to attack our Xinye Mansion by surprise. Within a day, the three counties of Xinye Mansion have been lost, and Fuyang has also been lost. The total number of enemies is about [-]."

Xiang Lang questioned: "General Cai, your intelligence is not wrong, can you destroy my three counties in one day, and 3 people can swallow more than [-] guards in my three counties?"

"No, General Xiang, he swallowed about 4 of us, including 5000 of Wen Shuai's brave fighters."

In an instant, there was a frying pan in this hall.

"The enemy is really powerful. We can't do it. Wen Shuai is not an opponent. How can we do it? It is the best policy to reject the city and defend it!"

Everyone talked non-stop.

Liu Biao coughed, and immediately the generals and ministers became silent.

Liu Biao finally spoke. "Everyone, calm down and serve tea."

At this time, four or five servants began to serve tea online, and one servant was very attentive and smiled after serving tea to the adults and generals. The important people like such young servants, who are clean and shrewd.

After everyone finished drinking, the boy stayed behind with the teapot ready to add tea to the adults.

"Everyone, let's express our opinions, don't talk about it."

Wang Jun was the first to speak, "My lord, we will defend against the city and consume the enemy's vital strength."

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

... A large group of ministers and military generals shared this opinion, and only the Cai brothers, Xiang Lang, and Li Yan did not stand up, because it might not be good for them to sit and wait for death, and the Cai brothers already knew Liu Biao's trump card and naturally wanted to curry favor with Liu Biao .

Liu Biao squinted his eyes and sighed, "You guys!"

At this time Cai Hao stood up and said: "The final general thinks that we should fight the enemy to the death."

Liu Biao smiled slightly and said, "It seems that there is still a sensible person in our army."

Liu Biao stroked his goatee and continued, "Marshal Wen made the last suggestion. We will gather the main force of the Jingzhou Army and the enemy to fight to the death on Jingshan Mountain outside Jingzhou City."

Kuai Yue stood up and sighed: "Gathering a crowd is really a good move. It is worthy of being the commander-in-chief. The last general agrees."

Li Yan, Xiang Lang, Cai Xiong, and Huo Jun all agreed.

Liu Biao ordered: "I have 22 soldiers in Jingzhou, 15 are stationed on Jingshan, the remaining [-] are used as support, and the last [-] will defend the city."

After Liu Biao gave his orders, he began to hesitate again. He hesitated, who is this general?Although Wenpin recommended Wei Yan, Liu Biao hated the city defense order from the bottom of his heart, and because of his suspicious personality, he only wanted to use Wenpin's strategy, not the person recommended by Wenpin.

Kuai Liang, the number one counselor in Jingzhou, asked, "My lord, can you decide who will lead the army?"

This sentence asked Liu Biao's heart, Liu Biao hesitated for a long time and asked, "What's your opinion if you dare to be a military advisor?"

"In my opinion, Wei Yan, who is recommended by Shuai Wen, can command the army in Jingshan. In addition, Wen Qiang and Huo Jun can be the deputy commanders. With 5 troops, I think Li Yan is the commander and Xiang Lang is the best, and General Cai Mao is the one who guards the city. good."

Liu Biao hesitated for a long time and sighed: "This Wei Yan is a small official from the ninth rank, can he convince the public?"

"Guan Yu warmed wine and killed Hua Xiong. He became famous in one battle. Lu Bu fought against eighteen generals with one horse. The power shocked China. They were all unknown before. Please think twice."

At this time, a book boy came to the main hall and said suddenly: "Master, madam suddenly has a chest pain."

Liu Biao is an old pervert, he loves this wife very much, he hurriedly said: "Everyone, I will come as soon as I go."

Liu Biao went to the back room and saw Mrs. Cai sitting there comfortably.

"Madam, you are not sick, but you scared me to death."

When Cai saw Liu Biao approaching, he burst into tears.Liu Biao hurriedly asked, "Why do you cry when you see me?"

Liu Biao coaxed her for a long time before Cai stopped her tears and said, "You handed over our money to someone who has nothing to do with it. Isn't our life in someone else's hands? How can I not cry?"

"Ma'am, how do you know that?"

"The rumors in this city are amazing. It is rumored that a gatekeeper complains every day and is about to become the commander-in-chief of our Jingzhou Army. Maybe you will be the first person he will not let go when he becomes the commander-in-chief."

"Madam, don't listen to the nonsense of people outside."

"I'm talking nonsense, call for witnesses."

After a while, a servant girl and a soldier came to explain all Wei Yan's grievances on the top of the city to Tongtong, and then Cai sent him out. Of course, the soldier was rewarded heavily.

"Master, it's better to trust your own family at critical moments."

Liu Biao nodded secretly, then turned and went to the hall.

Then ordered: "Cai Mao is the commander-in-chief of Jingshan, Wen Qiang and Huo Jun are the deputy commanders, Cai Xiong is the backup, and Li Yan is the general guarding the city of Jingzhou."

Kuai Liang stood up and denied, "My lord, no, General Cai is the coach of Jingshan. Although it is acceptable, General Cai Xiong cannot be the backup, otherwise our army will be defeated."

"Why?"

"General Cai Xiong is greedy for life and afraid of death by nature. Even if he is a real brother, he might die."

Cai Xiong stood up and scolded, "Military Master, why do you insult me ​​like this?"

"I'm talking about the facts."

Then the two started to quarrel, Liu Biao also took care of his face, guessing his golden words.

Angrily said: "I have made up my mind, don't try to persuade me."

Kuai Liang added: "That Weichen is giving three suggestions to the lord."

"Okay, tell me."

"Order Eldest Prince Liu Qi to garrison Jiangxia immediately to prevent the various factions of the Eastern Wu from attacking. In addition, notify Fancheng, Xiangyang and other important towns to prepare for the battle immediately and recruit new soldiers to prevent our army from being defeated. No place can resist. In addition, can we Let Wei Yan be a vanguard general, I think he is good at martial arts."

"Okay, approved one by one, get ready, the meeting is adjourned."

Some shook their heads, some were proud, and walked out of the hall one after another.

Kuai Liang shook his head and sighed, "Jingzhou is dangerous! Jingzhou is dangerous!"

One day later, night fell unconsciously, and a carrier pigeon flew over the city of Jingzhou.
