Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 357 Summary of Jingzhou
In a few days...

Three days have passed since Liu Qi took back Jingzhou City and Yuan Jun withdrew from Jingzhou.

Everyone in the world also knew the time when Liu Qi subdued the Nanman army, and the crisis in Jingzhou was also resolved. Except that Jingzhou City and Xinye were occupied by Yuan Jun for a day, Jingzhou was still in Liu Qi's hands.

During these three days.

There are also many things happening.

For example, Ma Chao in Xiliang led his troops to intercept the tens of thousands of Yuan troops who had withdrawn from Jingzhou. In the end, Yan Liang was defeated and only a few thousand soldiers returned to Jizhou.

After Ma Chao subdued the captive Yuan Jun, he reorganized his army and captured Yingchuan, Xuchang, and Chenliu.

Just when he was about to take down the entire Yanzhou in one go.

But met Yuan Jun's interception in Dingtao, and then returned to Xuchang to rest.

It turned out that Yuan Shao not only sent Yan Liang to lead [-] troops into Jingzhou, but also secretly bought and subdued Yanzhou officials. When Zhang Baiqi and Zhang Miao jointly attacked Nanyang, he took the entire Yanzhou by surprise. place.

Also because the plan was cracked, only Dongjun, Dingtao and other places were taken, and Yingchuan, Xuchang, Chenliu and other places were occupied by Ma Chao.

If it weren't for dealing with Cao Cao, the army might have already entered Yanzhou to attack Ma Chao.

And most unexpected.

But Ma Chao, who had returned to Xuchang, announced that he had voted under Liu Qi's command, and hung up black flags, which also represented the flags of Liu Qi's forces.

It was beyond the expectations of all the princes.

But this also made other princes understand why Ma Chao didn't take the opportunity to capture Nanyang after beheading Zhang Baiqi, but turned to the land of Yingchuan. You must know that Ma Chao wanted to capture Nanyang at that time, and it was very easy to win.

After all, Liao Hua, the city lord of Nanyang, was seriously injured and fell down. After a long period of fighting, the defenders of the city were already exhausted, and there were only a few thousand soldiers left.

It was impossible to resist the attack of Ma Chao who led the army at the end.

the other side.

Zhou Yu, who led the [-] Jiangdong navy to attack Jiangxia, received Liu Qi's subjugation of the Nanman army, and also recovered Jingzhou City. Knowing that it was hopeless to capture Jiangxia, he led his army back to Lujiang Anzha without hesitation.

Knowing that the troops were withdrawn, the Jingzhou Navy might take the opportunity to catch up, and made corresponding arrangements. During the withdrawal period, there was not much loss.

After a period of fighting.

He also knew that Zhuge Liang's wisdom was not inferior to his, and he also had General Gan Ning, with [-] Jingzhou navy troops and [-] city guards.

At most, it was a tie.

but.

Zhou Yu also had some regrets in his heart. If he had known that Yuan Shao had an arrangement and could go straight to Jingzhou City, he would not have made a move with all his strength at the beginning, but had been waiting and watching.

And when Zhuge Liang and Gan Ning rushed back from Yizhou, he had already lost the opportunity to take Jiangxia quickly.

In the end, the attack on Jiaozhou caused the loss of more than half of the [-] Jiangdong soldiers led by Han Dang. It can be said that this time they couldn't make any money from Jiangdong, and they paid a lot of money.

In addition, Sun Quan just took over Jiangdong not long ago, so the prestige will also decrease.

As for Liu Bei in Xuzhou, seeing that the situation was wrong, he withdrew his army early and did not continue to entangle with Lu Bu, and did not lose much.

Although he didn't know why Lu Bu sent troops to intercept his troops, Lu Bu didn't start a war with him, but just prevented his troops from passing through his territory.

If he made a detour, Lu Bu would not lead his troops in pursuit.

But there is no detour. Shouchun has soldiers and horses stationed in Jiangdong, and he will not let him lead the army in; Dongjun, Yuan Shao is likely to start early in the morning. Even if he does not start, Dongjun officials will not let him He entered with an army.

Even if a large army enters its own territory, no one dares to let it in easily, even if it is to crusade against Jingzhou. Otherwise, if the horse's head is turned around, it may become a disaster.

It can only confront Lu Bu at the junction of the two parties.

In the end, no one took the lead, and they all had concerns. It lasted until the end, and the two armies retreated to their own territory in peace, as if nothing had happened.

The most profitable one is only Cao Cao.

With the help of the reason for sending troops to Nanyang, he secretly brought 20 troops into Bingzhou in batches.

Combined with the [-] troops originally stationed in half of Bingzhou, they quickly attacked the half of Bingzhou occupied by Yuan Shao with lightning speed.

In one day, several big cities were connected.

Only one Jinyang was left standing firm, so Cao Jun could not take the entire land of Bingzhou.

Yuan Shao didn't expect that the strategy he used in Jingzhou would be used by Cao Cao on him, and he was still paying attention to Jingzhou and planning Yanzhou.

By the time he realized it, there was only Jinyang left in Bingzhou.

The rest of the territory also fell into the hands of Cao Cao.

Except for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao who were fighting each other, the rest of the world calmed down rarely.

Return to Liu Qi in Jingzhou.

He also didn't gather troops to attack the princes who besieged him, but stayed in Jingzhou City, and he didn't make any big moves anymore, as if he didn't have any intention of revenge.

After taking down Yizhou, subduing the Nanman, and having Ma Chao's refuge, it can be said that he has the most territory among the princes, and only Cao Cao can compare with it.

Yuan Shao, Sun Quan, Liu Bei and others also knew that Liu Qi would not be someone who would allow them to attack and not fight back.

Now that Liu Qi has conquered the Nanman army, there are more than [-] troops stationed outside Jingzhou City, Ma Chao has [-] troops, Jiang Xia has tens of thousands of troops, and Huang Zhong, who defeated [-] Jiangdong soldiers in Jiaozhou, is also leading the army. Twenty thousand soldiers and horses.

It can be said that the soldiers are strong and strong.

Although he did not continue to attack Jingzhou, he was still very vigilant about Jingzhou.

They were all worried that Liu Qi would directly gather all the soldiers and horses to attack them, and they did not dare to relax their monitoring of the movement of Jingzhou soldiers and horses for a while.

Moreover, heavy guards were deployed in critical places to prevent Liu Qi from taking advantage of it.

It can be said.

Because of this incident, all the princes have also confirmed that there will be a battle between them sooner or later. For that position, this battle is unavoidable.

It's just been patient before.

And the emperor was still there, so he didn't blatantly express his attitude.

But this time they besieged Jingzhou, and they all knew that they were afraid that Liu Qi would grow bigger and bigger, so they could only surrender at Liu Qi's feet. In order to ask for help, they jointly sent troops to attack Jingzhou.

Weaken Liu Qi's power.

Of course, it would be even better if he could directly defeat Liu Qi.

It's a pity that all of this is out of their control, Jingzhou was not won, and Liu Qi was allowed to win Yizhou, Nanman, and other places.
