Cao Thief

Chapter 685 Jingzhou Change ([-])
Liu Biaotou approached within seven days.

Xiangyang welcomed powerful representatives from all parties in Jingzhou amidst the panic.Liu Biao has been in Jingzhou for more than ten years. Although his political achievements are not outstanding, he has kept Jingzhou safe.Although small-scale wars continued, in general, there were no wars.

In particular, Liu Biao was good at literature, and he was one of the Eight Talents of Jiangxia at that time, which made Jingxiang's literary style flourish and was highly praised by scholars.

Zhuge Liang planned Jingzhou for Liu Bei, which can be said to have the best time...

Liu Biao died of illness, and Jingzhou was terrified.

People from all sides have their own thoughts and have not yet formed a unified idea, so it is a mess.If Liu Bei can capture Jingxiang, he can rely on the nine prefectures of Jingxiang as the foundation, link up with Sun Wu in the east, take Bashu in the west, and occupy Cao Cao in the north.Zhuge Liang is playing a big game of chess. If he succeeds, the world will be divided into three points, and it will be a foregone conclusion.However, Zhuge Liang is also very clear that there are huge risks hidden in it, so he has to be cautious.

Overall, Jingxiang is divided into three factions.

Among them, Liu Biao brought the old Shanyang Ministry from his hometown to support Liu Qi and was willing to cooperate with Liu Bei.

The remaining two factions are the Liu faction headed by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and the local faction headed by the Kuai brothers.In comparison, the Cai family hopes to support Liu Cong, succeed Jingzhou, rely on Cao Cao, and maintain a certain degree of autonomy; while the Kuai family is different from the Cai family.They are willing to obey the imperial court and at the same time safeguard the local interests of the Jingxiang family.To some extent, the Kuai family and the Cai family are both one and different.But for now, the political views of the Kuai brothers and Cai are basically the same.

Zhuge Liang, dare not underestimate the Kuai brothers.

These two people are representatives of Jingxiang celebrities, and they have extraordinary wisdom.

Therefore, except for Liu Bei and Yi Ji, he never discussed his plan to acquire Jingzhou with anyone else.Even Zhao Yun didn't know what his purpose in coming to Xiangyang was.Liu Bei only told him to obey Yiji's dispatch and never expose his trip to Tibet.

In this way, Zhao Yun stayed in Yiji Mansion without anyone noticing.

As for Yiji, as if nothing happened, he assisted Cai Mao in preparing for Liu Biao's funeral, but secretly contacted members of the old Shanyang Ministry.

Time, little by little.

Seeing Liu Biao's first seven days approaching day by day, the city of Xiangyang became extremely lively.

Mrs. Cai led Liu Cong to receive all guests.At the same time, Cai Mao is also mobilizing the power of the clan, intensively contacting all parties, lobbying the Jingxiang family, and supporting Liu Cong as the lord of Jingzhou.In this regard, Liu Qi, who is not in Xiangyang, obviously has the disadvantage.On the second day after Liu Biao's death, Liu Qi sent someone to Xiangyang to ask Mrs. Cai and others to allow him to return to Xiangyang.

However, Mrs. Cai refused Liu Qi's request under the pretext that the war in Jiangxia was tense and that Liu Qi had a heavy responsibility to leave without permission...

Afterwards, Liu Qi took the next best thing, and sincerely persuaded Mrs. Cai: I don't need to be the lord of Jingzhou, but please respect my father's hard work and don't take refuge in Cao Cao.Jingzhou has condensed my father's hard work, how can it be easily handed over to others?

What's more, that person is still a national thief!
Mrs. Cai didn't answer, but just sent the messenger away...

That is, on the third day after Liu Biao passed away, Jiangdong Sun Quan suddenly took action.Ren Haichang's chief, Lu Xun, was the order of Wuhu, and he sent Cheng Pu and Huang Gai to gather troops in Chungu County and stare at Huainan.Sun Quan's sudden move made the three Huainan counties tense up.Gan Ning immediately sent a messenger to quickly inform Xu Du Xunyu, and at the same time, he asked people to contact Yu Jin to tell the truth.

Yu Jin was in Fu County, confronting Guan Yu.

Guan Yunchang was ordered to come to Jiangxia to assist Liu Qi in guarding, and confronted Yu Jin and Li Tong several times, which brought great pressure to Yu Jin.

Feeling embarrassed, Yu Jin suddenly changed his mind when he heard that Jiangdong was raising troops.

After discussing with Li Tong, he decided to temporarily withdraw from Jiangxia and return to Yiyang County.If Sun Quan uses troops on a large scale, Huainan will be in danger.

Wancheng, county.

Jia Xu sat on the porch, looking thoughtful.

Flicking his fingers on the guqin in front of him, he made one or two melodious sounds from time to time.

He frowned, and twisted his beard with the other hand.In the courtyard, several black chrysanthemums were in full bloom, adding a bit of vitality to this late autumn...

"Is Taizhong here?"

Outside the courtyard, there was suddenly the sound of Yang Shen.

Jia Xu suddenly raised his eyebrows, woke up from his contemplation, and looked out of the courtyard, "Is it Zilu? But is there any news?"

Yang Fen hurriedly walked into the courtyard.

"Taizhong, Pingchun urgent."

"speak!"

Yang Qin took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Sun Quan stationed troops in Chungu east of the Yangtze River, and at the same time mobilized grain and grass to Wuhu.

Yu Wen was worried about the loss of Yiyang County, so he decided to abandon Yi County and withdraw his troops to return.Prefect Wenda sent someone to ask if he could withdraw from Pingchun. "

Jia Xu's expression changed upon hearing this.

A cold light flashed across those eyes suddenly, he stood up abruptly, and said sharply: "Send someone to reply to Li Wenda immediately, and ask him to tell Yu Wenze. Even if the two of them die in battle, they must be given to me." Nailed to death in Jiangxia... Sun Zhongmou really will find an opportunity to send troops, but... well, tell them, if we lose Ping County and Pingchun, I will write a letter to the prime minister in the future, punishing them for fear of war."

Yang Fen was startled!
It was rare to see Jia Xu look so excited, he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

Logically speaking, it is not unusual for Sun Quan to send troops, and it is also reasonable for Yu Jin to withdraw his troops. Why is Jia Xu so excited?There was even a trace of seriousness on his face?I'm afraid there are other articles in this... Yang Qin opened his mouth, as if he wanted to ask Jia Xu.

However, seeing Jia Xu's gloomy face, he swallowed the words when he got to his lips.

Leaving the courtyard in a hurry, he found Li Tong's messenger and repeated Jia Xu's original words.However, the wording was obviously a lot more tactful, it just said that Jing Xiang's break was imminent, no matter what, Li Tong and Yu Jin should not retreat at this time, otherwise the overall situation might be delayed.As for the battle in Huainan, there is no need for the two of them to worry.Jia Taizhong has already contacted Xu Du, and already has a secret case.

Anyway, the implication is to tell Li Tong and Yu Jin: You cannot withdraw your troops.

Not only can they not withdraw their troops, but on the contrary, they have to defend the Pingchun and Pingchun areas of Yan County, otherwise the military law will be engaged in...

Once this involves military law, even if Yu Jin is a veteran, he has to weigh the weight of it.The messenger bid farewell tremblingly and left.Yang Qin was just about to go to the public house to handle official business, but was stopped by someone, saying that Jia Xu had something to ask him, and asked him to go immediately.

Yang Qi didn't dare to hesitate, and hurried to Jia Xu's residence.

Goodbye Jia Xu, he has returned to his usual appearance, looking very calm.

"Jiangdong, is there any sage?"

"what?"

Yang Qi was taken aback by Jia Xu's endless words.

However, the corners of Jia Xu's mouth curled up, and a strange smile was drawn, "Sun Quan chose to send troops at this time, it was definitely not his intention... In my opinion, he may have joined forces with Liu Bei, otherwise he would definitely not send troops at this time The lord Liaodong is victorious, and Sun Quan is seeking peace, so how could he send troops to attack at this time? In my opinion, his sending troops is fake, and it is true to relieve Jiangxia's crisis... Chungu's deployment of troops is just to cover up people's eyes and ears, in order to let Liu Qi Can get away from Jiangxia. In Huainan, Gan Xingba is enough. In addition, send people to Xuzhou, let Zhou Cang attack from Dongling Island, threaten Dantu, and the danger in Huainan will be solved. However, I am more interested. Who came up with this plan for Sun Quan... Zhou Gongjin, Zhang Zibu? Or someone else?
Zilu, you don't need to interfere in this matter, just concentrate on Jingxiang affairs.

For Youxue, the action is imminent, so don't take it lightly... As for Jiangdong, I will pay attention to it, so you don't have to worry about it. "

Yang Qin hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "The prefect Wenda and prefect Wenze..."

"Let them report to me."
