Chapter 473 Jiaozhou
In Lingling City, Liu Bei frowned. He was now facing an unprecedented crisis.

"Brother, even if the specific situation is like this, the Zhuge military division is indeed a clever plan. The flood flooded the [-] soldiers of the Jin army. It's just that he also fell ill. The second city of Xiangfan was occupied, and the second brother was holding on in Nanjun. If Nanjun is not lost, this Lingling The army is as stable as Mount Tai. What's more, there is Jiaozhou to the south, even if this is the territory of Qin and Wu, we can occupy it first!" Zhang Fei could see the worry of his elder brother, so he hurriedly comforted him.

Liu Bei sighed helplessly, and he closed his eyes, expressing his resignation to Chu State's comfort.

"Report! Your Majesty, Nanjun is in a hurry! The Jin army has led troops south again, and has occupied all the Jingzhou area north of Nanjun. General Guan Yu is defending Nanjun!" Guan Yu's messenger rushed in and knelt down to report, obviously the frontline military situation very nervous.

When Zhang Fei heard that his second brother was under fierce attack by the Jin army, he also became impatient, and shouted: "Brother, I will lead troops to support second brother! The Jin army lost [-] elite troops, and they went south again so quickly." Yes! But their morale must have been hit hard, and they must be able to deal with it. When Zhuge Liang wakes up, the eldest brother will ask him for advice!"

Walking out of the room and taking the snake spear from the guards, Zhang Fei left before Liu Bei could react.

Liu Bei was just stunned for a moment, and he realized that the Jin army had gone south again!

"Hey! This Han Pengju really made progress and refused to give up. Jingzhou has been in civil strife for many years, and it is difficult to resist the Jin army! Pass on Sun Qian and Wei Yan!" Liu Bei narrowed his eyes, and he was about to start planning to retreat to Jiaozhou.

Wei Yan and Sun Qian arrived soon, and they also knew about Zhuge Liang's coma, so they were always ready for the king to let them send troops to rescue the siege.

"This king is going to lead the troops to the south and make a plan to move to Jiaozhou. Wei Yan, I will give you five thousand elite troops, can you conquer Jiaozhou in one fell swoop?" Liu Bei handed the military amulet to Wei Yan and asked.

Wei Yan was ready to take the order, but suddenly thought that Zhu Ya was the territory of the Jin army.

Zhu Ya, even now Hainan Island.

"This... Your Majesty, Zhu Ya is very close to Hepu County of Jiaozhou. If Zhu Ya's Jin army goes north, they will not be sure to take Hepu County. As for Rinan County, they are very sure." Wei Yan narrowed his eyes, Tell the truth.

Rinan County, which has already entered the territory of Vietnam, is also part of Jiaozhou.

"Rinan County...Rinan County goes deep into the south. If we retreat there, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight back for the rest of our lives, right? If that's the case, let's take down Rinan County as much as possible first. As for Hepu County, we'll talk about it later." Liu Bei didn't With room and time to choose, he must now plan and prepare for all retreats.

If Zhuge Liang doesn't wake up for a day, Liu Bei must make a countermeasure to retreat. The 20 Jin army is not a joke. They must have hatred for the Chu army now, and they will be more fierce in battle.

"The last general takes orders! The last general will raid Cangwu County first and take down Cangwu in one fell swoop!"

Five days later, Zhuge Liang woke up slowly, but he looked as if he was one year older.As soon as he woke up, Zhuge Liang immediately went north to Nanjun to command the battle.

The entire Jiaozhou was conquered by Wei Yan within five days, and even Hepu County, which he was least sure of, was conquered in one fell swoop.Now Wei Yan is turning his troops around to attack Rinan County, preparing to extend Jiaozhou.

Soochow Jianye
"My lord, the state of Chu sent general Wei Yan to attack Jiaozhou, and captured Cangwu County within two days. I am afraid that the entire Jiaozhou has been occupied by now!" Zhang Zhao sent the battle report brought back by the retreat of the Jiaozhou defenders. At the same time, he believed that Liu Bei This move is really contempt for Wu.

Obviously their Chu State is being suppressed by the soldiers of the Jin State, but they still want to attack Jiaozhou. This is a provocation to Soochow.

"I think that General Lu Xun should send troops from Jiangxia to attack Chu. Although the Jin army is damaged, but 20 elites can defeat the Chu army in a short period of time. I think that if we help the Jin army attack Chu, it will be inevitable. You can gain something." Zhang Zhao said his suggestion, he mainly wanted to teach Liu Bei a lesson.

Sun Quan glanced at Lu Su, ready to ask him for advice.

Lu Su took a deep breath, thought carefully, and said: "As the saying goes, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. This country of Chu is the lips, and Qin and Wu are the teeth. Liu Bei led troops to attack Jiaozhou, just to find a way to retreat to the south. If the king sends troops to Chu now, it will completely cut off Liu Bei's retreat. Chu can't defeat Jin, and if they counterattack Wu, they will be in big trouble."

"Could it be that I, Wu Guoerlang, are still afraid of the counterattack of their defeated Chu army? This Jin army is unstoppable. If they destroy Chu and point the finger at Jiangdong, what should we do! If we don't establish a good relationship now, it will be difficult Don't you want the king to be the king of lost land?" Zhang Zhao narrowed his eyes, he didn't agree with Lu Su's strategy.

Lu Su frowned, he didn't dare to reprimand Zhang Zhao angrily, after all, this person is highly respected.

"Mister's words are wrong. Even if I wait to please the Jin State and let the Jin State attack Yizhou first, is it possible that after the Qin State is destroyed, the Jin State will not attack Jiangdong? Does the master not understand the truth? "Lu Su didn't want to argue with Zhang Zhao, so he just asked a few questions.

Zhang Zhao snorted coldly, and said slightly angrily, "The king is the king of Wu. If the king of Jin and the prince of Jin can really conquer Qin in one fell swoop, they must be called emperors! The king is still the king, Jiangdong is still Jiangdong, and the people are still the people." Your Majesty does not lose ground, he is worthy of the martyrs, is it possible that the Jin State will send troops to attack the Wu State that is willing to surrender?"

After hearing Zhang Zhao's words, Sun Quan was thoughtful, but he always felt uncomfortable.

After sitting in Jiangdong for so many years, Sun Quan has already become the king, but he knows in his heart that Jiangdong can't fight the Yangtze River at all.

There is no cavalry in Jiangdong, and it is impossible to fight out.The battle in the Central Plains cannot do without cavalry, which is Jiangdong's weakness.Therefore, Sun Quan knew very well that Soochow had no way to unify the world and could only guarantee that it would not lose ground.

"What you said makes sense, and what Zijing said is worth considering. Let's lend Jiaozhou to Liu Bei for the time being. I think it's better to develop the people's livelihood in Jiangdong first!" Choosing the most moderate method, Sun Quan neither sent troops to Chu, nor prepared Help Liu Bei.

Both Lu Su and Zhang Zhao sighed. The king's method is indeed moderate, but it is more in favor of Zhang Zhao.

In Jiangxia City, all the soldiers are preparing their troops, only Lu Xun is still at ease.

"General, the soldiers are all ready to send troops to support Chu State recently, why are you so leisurely? Your Majesty's edict will arrive soon, but you are not in a hurry." Ling Tong was puzzled and asked Lu Xun.

Lu Xun kept smiling and said, "Because I know that we will not send troops to Chu, and the king will not allow us to swim in muddy water."

Ling Tong was taken aback when he heard Lu Xun's words. Although he didn't agree with Lu Xun's idea, he didn't refute it.Ever since the battle that killed Lu Bu, all the soldiers in Jiangdong dared not underestimate Lu Xun, a young man.

"General, can you speak more clearly so that I can understand later." Ling Tong asked carefully.

Lu Xun nodded, and said: "For Jiangdong, it is impossible to rule the world even if the people's livelihood is exhausted. Jiangdong lacks war horses, which is a flaw. Even a Zhang Liao is enough to keep Jiangdong's elite in Shouchun. We are all old and weak soldiers here. Even if you send troops to Chu, you won't get any benefits. If Jin is angered by this, Han Wu may target Soochow in the next step. Both Qin and Wu have natural dangers, who do you think Han Wu will deal with first?"

Ling Tong squinted his eyes and thought for himself, and replied: "Qin! Although Qin is in danger, it is a land war. If you want to fight our Wu country, you must use water warfare. The Jin army is good at land warfare, so it must First enter Sichuan from Jingzhou to attack Yizhou, and then go down the river. If they attack our Wu country first, even if they are lucky to win, they still have to go up the river."

Although Ling Tong did not admit that Soochow would lose to Jin, he also expressed his own inference.

"That's right! Qin and Wu, Qin must be the most favored by Han Wu. Once Cao Cao dies, there will be no one in the world who can compete with Han Wu. When Qin is destroyed, we Wu will be alone. But as long as the Wu Kingdom surrenders, the king will still be the king, and the king of Jin will become the emperor. Jiangdong will still be the power of the king, and will not lose ground, and the people will be saved from war." Lu Xun explained to Ling Tong that he knew what the king was thinking. .

Ling Tong sighed helplessly, he had now understood the military power of the Jin State, which was not something Wu State could compete with.In other words, if there is a slight carelessness in decision-making, the country may be destroyed!

Jingzhou South County
Guan Yu stood firm on the city tower, and in the distance were the camps of the three generals of Jin.Moreover, the three generals of the Jin Kingdom were more cautious this time. The place where the camp was built was not only on a high ground, but also it was not easy to cut off its water source.

"Father, the Jin army has suffered heavy losses and is going south. Can our [-] soldiers hold on?" Guan Ping was at a loss. No to continue.

Standing beside Guan Yu, Chen Dao sighed helplessly, and he also felt the uneasiness that Chu State would be destroyed.

"To the south is Jiaozhou. Your Majesty has sent Wei Yan to occupy the entire Jiaozhou. If we can't resist, we can retreat to Jiaozhou!" Chen Dao sighed helplessly. He understood Guan Yu's arrogance, but he couldn't let Guan Yu let his temper go.

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "I will live and die with this Nanjun!"

Hearing that Guan Yu was so persistent, Chen Dao sighed helplessly, and said, "Could it be possible that the general forgot not to ask for the same year, the same month, and the same day, but to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day? Where is it placed?"

Chen Dao's strokes were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Guan Yu lowered his head slightly, obviously touched.

"In this case, then guard Nanjun for a month! After one month, if the Jin army does not retreat, you and I will withdraw immediately. If the city is destroyed within this month, Guan will still live and die with Nanjun!" Guan Yu's voice Not high, but extremely firm.

Chen Dao sighed helplessly. He saw a change in the camp of the Chu army. It seemed that they were about to attack the city.

"Ring the bell and beat the drum, prepare to defend the city!"
