Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 244 Analyzing the Enemy Situation
After a period of time, the army traveled day and night and finally returned to Xuchang City. When Li Song returned to Xuchang, he did not immediately order to send troops to Nanyang County, but stayed in Xuchang for a while to rest. rest.

The majestic Xuchang City appeared in front of Li Song, but Li Song was not in the mood to wait and see the capital. He passed through the city gate quickly, before returning to the mansion, and met all his wives and concubines, and went straight to Tiance government.

After all, Liu Biao's soldiers and horses were in Nanyang County, and they might attack Xuchang at any time, which made Li Song have to guard against it.

After returning to Tiance Mansion, Li Song felt a little more at ease. In the council hall of Tiance Mansion, he took a small nap. He was really exhausted from the journey. After traveling day and night, the rest time was very short. Few, only when people really can't bear it, they will take a short break.

Li Song woke up and immediately summoned Liu Bowen to inquire about the situation.

"My minister Liu Ji, I have met the prime minister!" Liu Bowen greeted Li Song when he entered the council hall and bowed his hands.

"No! Don't stand, Bowen! Sit!" Li Song pointed to the seat next to him.

After Liu Bowen saluted and thanked him, he walked to this position and knelt and sat on it.

"Bowen, you have worked hard these days! If you weren't here, Xuchang might have been captured by Liu Biao's army." Li Song said.

"These are all my duties! It's not hard work! It's all because of God's blessing to the Prime Minister! This makes Liu Biao's army dare not save anything." Liu Bowen said.

Li Song would not take Liu Bowen's words seriously. God's blessings are all good words, but in fact they are useless.

"Now, is there any movement from Liu Biao's army?" Li Song asked. What he is most concerned about now is the movement of Liu Biao's army in Nanyang County.

As the saying goes, how can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch, but now there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Liu Biao on the side of his couch, how can he sleep peacefully.

"Report to the Prime Minister! After Liu Biao's army captured Wancheng, Wuyin and other places, after our army shrank the defense line, it has been stationed on the border of Yingchuan County without taking a step." Liu Bowen said.

"So, these are all the result of Liu Biao's suspicion. Liu Biao wasted this great opportunity to capture Xuchang, which is really lucky for us." Li Song said, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing his mood at the moment.

"I can't say that completely!" Liu Bowen said.

"Oh! Why is that? Is there something else I don't know about?" Li Song asked. He was only concerned about Liu Biao's suspicion, which caused Cai Maojun to stop, but he forgot that there was Zhang Jin from Jiaozhou next to Jingzhou and Zhang Jin from Jiaozhou. Liu Biao fights.

"Of course there is Liu Biao's suspicious element in it, which made Cai Maojun stop, but it was only a short period of time to scare Liu Biao, and he will still find out the clues in time."

"This is on the one hand. On the other hand, it is Liu Biao's neighbor. Zhang Jin, the shepherd of Jiaozhou, has always been uneasy. He is gearing up to eliminate Liu Biao and occupy the rich land of Jingzhou."

"Liu Biao dare not move the army too far away from Jingzhou, otherwise, once Zhang Jin leads the army to attack, what will Liu Biao do to resist it?" Liu Bowen said.

After Liu Bowen said this, Li Song remembered that the struggle between Liu Biao and Zhang Jin began in the fourth year of Jian'an, and there was a conflict between Zhang Jin and Liu Biao, which led to a big fight between the two sides. As for what caused them The contradiction between them is unknown.

The strength of Zhang Jin and Liu Biao is not at the same level at all. Therefore, since Zhang Jin fought with Liu Biao, he has been hanged and beaten by Liu Biao.

Now Liu Biao wants to capture Xuchang on the one hand, to prevent my neighbor to the north, who is me, from suddenly killing him under his nose, so Liu Biao has to mobilize some soldiers to defend himself.

In addition, he planned to join forces with Sun Quan to seize half of Jiangdong's land in Gan Ning's hands. Naturally, he needed to send troops. One of the reasons for stationing the army in Nanyang County.

"That's right! But what's the situation in Jiangdong now? I heard that Liu Biao appointed Huang Zu as the commander, and tens of thousands of Chen soldiers were in Jiangxia. Wouldn't Gan Ning be in danger?" Li Song actually found out the reason for Liu Biao's army stationed in Nanyang County. After finding out the reason, the problem was pointed to the situation in Jiangdong.

Although he knew Jiangdong's intelligence, after all, most of these intelligences reported good news but not bad news. He is not as clear about Jiangdong's information as Liu Bowen.

"Prime Minister, don't worry! There is no major war in Jiangdong. After all, Liu Biao and Sun Quan have enmity! The two sides don't trust each other."

"Liu Biao and Sun Quan are both wary of whether the other party will play tricks behind the scenes. Sun Quan is afraid that Liu Biao will seize the three Jiangdong counties in Gan Ning's hands, and Liu Biao will pose a hidden danger to him. Naturally, he is on guard in every possible way, and his strength is greatly reduced."

"As for Liu Biao, in fact, he has the same thinking as Sun Quan. He is worried that the other party will become a threat to him. Therefore, Liu Biao just asked Huang Zu to harass Gan Ning's navy!"

"If General Gan Ning hadn't captured half of Jiangdong just after Sun Ce's death, it would have been impossible for them to unite. Even if they were united, it would be nothing more than just sitting around. They are just fascinated by appearances," Liu Bowen said.

After Liu Bowen's analysis, Li Song finally figured out that it was precisely because Liu Biao and Sun Quan were in harmony with each other that they were wary of each other!They are all afraid of making a wedding dress for the other party after a lot of hard work.

At that time, he would take advantage of the opportunity to be disadvantageous to himself, so both sides would work without effort. Sun Quan hoped to use Liu Biao to achieve the goal of eliminating Gan Ning. Even if he could not be eliminated, at least both sides would suffer.

In this way, not only are the two lost counties expected to be recaptured, but Lujiang can also be easily captured, and the situation of unifying Jiangdong will be completed, and Liu Biao's strength will be weakened by the way. !
Unfortunately!Sun Quan underestimated Liu Biao. He was not stupid. In addition, he was suspicious. He also had the same purpose as Sun Quan, weakening the opponent to strengthen himself. In this way, the strength of both sides was reduced, which made Gan Ning seized the opportunity and launched a counterattack against the two sides, severely injuring Huang Zu's navy and seizing many places from Sun Quan.

Li Song figured out some joints during the period, and everything was moving in a direction that was beneficial to him. Liu Biao stationed troops in Nanyang, which was equivalent to giving Li Songjun a chance to fight back.

Having figured this out, Li Song suddenly felt enlightened. The alliance between Liu Biao and Sun Quan not only failed to enhance the strength of both sides, but actually slowed them down a lot. However, if time goes by and they are under pressure, they will eventually There is a real union possible.
