Soldiers come to the world

Just after Jia Xu finished offering sacrifices to his ancestors, he received news from Liu Jing that there was an urgent military consultation, and he hurried to the State Shepherd's Mansion before he even had time to change his clothes.

Although Jia Xu couldn't guess what was going on at the moment, he knew that Liu Jing had to discuss the military situation when he was the busiest day, which only showed that the situation was very urgent. Jia Xu vaguely guessed that it might have something to do with Hanzhong or Bashu.

Jia Xu was led to the outer study by the soldiers, and immediately a soldier reported: "Mr. Jia has arrived!"

"Please come in!" Liu Jing's voice came from the room.

Jia Xu walked into the room, but saw that Sima Yi and Xu Shu had already arrived, and they were talking in a low voice, "I'm late!" Jia Xu quickly apologized with a smile.

"The military division came just in time, please sit down!"

Jia Xu sat down, and Liu Jing said to them: "The reason why I invited the three of you here is because something happened in Hanzhong. I just got the news from Hanzhong. Zhang Wei strongly suggested Zhang Lu to take Shangyong."

The news caused the three of them to look at each other in blank dismay, Xu Shu was especially nervous, Jingzhou had just started to recuperate, it was a good year, but if there is another war now, it will greatly affect Jingzhou's recuperation

He hesitated for a while and said: "Although Zhang Wei is Zhang Lu's younger brother, he is rude and wise. Maybe he just saw that Shangyong has few soldiers, so he moved his mind. Zhang Lu may not agree."

Jia Xu shook his head: "There are no winds, no waves. No matter how stupid Zhang Wei is, he should know that Shangyong is the territory of Jingzhou. The more important thing is that Shangyong has always had a relationship with Hanzhong. If there is no special reason, he would not say such a thing. "

At this time, Liu Jing looked at Sima Yi and saw that he was thoughtful, so he asked, "What do you think of Sima Yi?"

A tacit agreement has been reached among the high-level officials in Jingzhou, and Sima Yi will take the lead in capturing Bashu, and Hanzhong is a key link in Bashu. If there is any change in Hanzhong, it will affect Bashu's plan. Obviously, this news is very important to them The plan has had an impact, so Sima Yi's opinion is particularly important.

Sima Yi pondered for a long time and said, "I don't think this is surprising. It should be a normal reaction for Hanzhong to want to win Shangyong."

"Why?" Liu Jing asked puzzled.

"I think someone in Bashu leaked to Zhang Lu our plan to seize Hanzhong first and then go north to Guanzhong, which caused panic in Hanzhong.

Seizing Shangyong to strike first is of course a strategy, but as Xu Changshi said, this is just a strategy, and Zhang Lu may not adopt it. "

Liu Jing fell into deep thought, Sima Yi was right, this should be a side effect of telling Bashu about the Northern Expedition plan.

In fact, it was their purpose to encourage Hanzhong to seize Shangyong. Only when Hanzhong captured Shangyong could they let Liu Zhang send troops to Hanzhong and create conditions for them to seize Bashu and Hanzhong in one fell swoop.

It's just that Liu Jing didn't expect that Hanzhong would be so eager, and there would be calls to send troops to Shangyong so soon. Liu Jing paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his hands.

This is actually an opportunity. If Hanzhong really decides to seize Shangyong, it will save them from trying to get Yang Song to encourage Zhang Lu to seize Shangyong. However, Liu Jing is a little worried. Does Jingzhou have the financial resources to support the army to fight again? battle.

Thinking of this, Liu Jing looked at Xu Shu, Xu Shu immediately reacted, he smiled wryly and said, "How can you compensate me if I ask for money and food?"

Liu Jing smiled and said, "How about I give you the treasuries of Yizhou and Hanzhong?"

Xu Shu couldn't help laughing, and said to Jia Xu and Sima Yi: "Two military advisers testified for me. Today, Liu Zhoumu of Jingzhou promised to give me the treasury of Bashu and Hanzhong. If he cheats, you can preside over it for me." justice!"

Jia Xu also said with a smile: "Xu Changshi don't worry, we will never let Liu Zhou Mu's words be believed."

But Sima Yi didn't have time to joke, he was very nervous, he had already understood Liu Jing's intention, most likely he was preparing to go along with the boat and start the war to annex Bashu one year in advance.

But there are still many things that are not ready, how should we fight this battle?

Liu Jing glanced at him and said lightly: "Don't worry too much about Zhongda, many things will not necessarily go according to the route we planned, and there is no problem with making temporary decisions, besides, our original intention is to guide Hanzhong to attack Shang Yong."

"What about Jianping County? Should we give it to Yizhou first, or wait until the Battle of Shangyong starts?" Sima Yi asked again.

"Let me think about it again!"

Liu Jing said, but glanced at Jia Xu, Jia Xu understood, Liu Jing wanted to ask for his own opinion, but now he can't say it, it would make Sima Yi uncomfortable, Jia Xu smiled and said nothing.

Sima Yi and Xu Shu left one after another, and Jia Xu also left, but he went around and returned to Liu Jing's study.

"My lord is looking for me?" Jia Xu asked with a chuckle.

Liu Jing nodded, "Sir, please sit down!"

Jia Xu sat down, and Liu Jing asked Jia Xu, "What do you think of the military division's early mobilization?"

Jia Xu smiled slightly, "The rivalry between the two countries lies in adequate preparations and knowing ourselves and the enemy, but I think the most important thing is the opportunity to fight."

"Does the military division mean that there are fighters now?"

Jia Xu nodded, "Sometimes accidents are more convincing. My lord's purpose is to convince Liu Zhang of our Northern Expedition. Then Hanzhong's sudden attack on Shangyong caused the situation to get out of control. At this time, Liu Zhang will never It would have occurred to us that we were using this to plan for Bashu, even the generals of Bashu counselors would not have thought of it, because they knew very well that it was they who leaked the secret that led Zhang Lu to attack Shangyong, and that caused us to rush to the battle to be prepared. Offensive and defensive, this is what I call a fighter."

Liu Jing sighed inwardly. In comparison, Jia Xu was still more seasoned, and Sima Yi was still slightly inexperienced.

"The military adviser is right. If this is the case, I can ask Liu Zhang to send troops in the name of giving Jianping County to him first, and the matter will be completed."

"No!" Jia Xu shook his head and laughed, "Actually, things are only [-]% complete, and it's not perfect."

Liu Jing was a little puzzled, "What did the military commander say?"

"It's very simple. Since the Hanzhong army is aggressively attacking Shangyong, of course we have to send troops to the north, so how can my lord explain to Liu Zhang why we stationed so many troops in Nanjun?"

Liu Jing nodded, this is a big problem, if you want to take Bashu, you have to garrison a large number of troops in Nanjun, but you can't explain this reason to Liu Zhang and Bashu.

Jia Xu stroked her beard slyly and smiled: "Maybe we can use Liu Bei."

Liu Jing suddenly realized, yes!They can use the excuse to regain Jingnan, station a large number of troops in Jiangling, prepare to attack Jingnan, and even cross the river to attack Jingnan Liu Bei. It's a matter of course, Jia Xu is really spicy!

"Then what is the reason for attacking Liu Bei?" Liu Jing asked again.

Jia Xu narrowed her eyes, "For example, the news of Liu Qi's death came suddenly, how about it?"

Liu Jing nodded, he understood what Jia Xu meant, and at this moment he finally made a decision, "That's it! Prepare for Jiangling and prepare for a large-scale attack on Jingnan."

The next day, a shocking news came from Jiangling. The eldest son Liu Qi died suddenly in Jingnan, most likely due to poisoning. Nan, questioned the cause of Liu Qi's death, and mourned the eldest son Liu Qi all over the city.

At the same time, Liu Jing ordered the mobilization of 30 troops from Xiangyang and Jiangxia, [-] shi of grain, several military supplies, and [-] warships to gather in Jiangling, preparing to attack Liu Bei in the south and seek justice for his son Liu Qi.

The 15th year of Jian'an has just started, and the war rages once again on the land of Jingzhou.

In Gong'an County, a carriage drove towards Zhuge Mansion in the south of the city. It was the fifth day of the first lunar month, and the people of Gong'an were still immersed in the joy of the New Year. The streets were empty, there were few pedestrians, and most shops were crowded. Close up, the New Year's food prepared by every family is enough for them to eat until the fifteenth day.

There are only groups of children in bright clothes running and playing in the freshly melted snow, and bursts of innocent laughter come from a distance.

Liu Bei in the carriage was in a state of extreme worry. He had just received news that Liu Jing had ordered [-] troops and [-] warships to gather in Jiangling to prepare for a large-scale attack on Jingnan. This news made Liu Bei extremely panicked. It was too late to change clothes, so he rushed to Zhuge Liang's mansion in a furry at home.

While panicking, Liu Bei was also extremely annoyed. They reached an agreement a month ago and sent Liu Qi away. Liu Jing also agreed to give them half a year to prepare. In a blink of an eye, Liu Jing turned his back and said Liu Qi was dead. In Jingnan, it is extremely shameful to come here for revenge.

Of course Liu Bei also knew that the so-called avenging Liu Qi was just an excuse, the key was that without Liu Qi as a hostage, they could attack Jingnan in a fair manner and put themselves to death.

The carriage stopped in front of Zhuge Liang's mansion, Liu Bei got out of the carriage and hurried to the gate of the mansion, the porter was frightened and rushed into the mansion to report.

As soon as Liu Bei walked to the middle gate, he met Zhuge Liang who came out to greet him. Zhuge Liang was wearing a thick robe, a gourd hat, and a feather fan in his hand. Seeing Liu Bei's flustered expression, he couldn't help but smile. Shi Li said: "My lord, why are you in such a hurry!"

"Military Master, something serious happened!"

Liu Bei was so anxious that his voice changed, "I just got the news that Liu Jing used the excuse of Liu Qi's sudden death in Jingnan, and wanted to avenge Liu Qi, so he mobilized [-] troops to gather in Jiangling to prepare for a large-scale attack on Jingnan."

"Is there such a thing?"

Zhuge Liang was also a little strange, "Didn't he reach an agreement with us?"

"That's the problem. I don't know why Liu Jing turned his back on me. I'm here to discuss the countermeasures with the military adviser."

Zhuge Liangliang nodded, "Don't worry, my lord. Liu Jing is a man who does great things. Anyway, Jingnan will return to him in half a year at the latest. He doesn't need to ruin his reputation. There must be a reason for it. Please come to my study to tell my lord."
