Although the major clan chiefs in Nanyang County did not dare not give money, after all, they were the ones begging Liu Bei now, they were also worried that if Liu Bei really withdrew the soldiers stationed in Nanyang County, then their families would really be doomed.
Just like Zhang Fei said, Liu Bei wanted at most a little money, but Lei Gong really wanted their lives. So they could only collect the bonds and send all the gold, silver, money and food from their mansion to the Xiangyang treasury.
But this does not mean that there is no anger in their hearts, especially when Zhang Fei threatens them, it is even more shameful and humiliating for them.
If this had happened 10 years ago, they would have asked Zhang Fei, a reckless man, to go to Luoyang's prison and let him know what it meant to live but not to die.
But now the court was under the control of Liu Bei, so they spread the news about what happened that day. Public opinion in Xiangyang City was in an uproar for a while, and Liu Bei's reputation instantly became bad on the streets.
The civil and military officials in Xiangyang City immediately regarded Liu Bei as the next Dong Zhuo, and the atmosphere in Xiangyang instantly became tense. After hiding for more than 10 years, Liu Bei finally revealed his true colors.
When Cao Cao and Guo Jia learned the news, they were also shocked!
"Liu Bei is actually so courageous. I really underestimated him in the past."
Cao Cao used to only regard Liu Bei as a lucky man. Although Liu Bei occupied the land south of the Yangtze River, it was just a matter of luck. There were no big princes in the south of the Yangtze River. He occupied the four states all the way and never experienced a difficult war.
, all the wars that occurred along the way were internal problems among the princes, and he went there to push them forward in the name of the imperial court, without any difficulty at all.
Until what happened today, he had never thought highly of Liu Bei, who could occupy half of the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei indeed had some abilities. Not many people could achieve this decisiveness among the princes in the world.
Instead, Guo Jia sighed: "The gentry has really declined. If something like this happened in the past, it would have shocked the entire Han Dynasty. Liu Bei was afraid that he would not be able to live in peace in the future. But now the founding hero of Nanyang County only dares to bark secretly, and even dare not
Accusing Liu Bei face to face, you must know that they are one of the most powerful noble families in the Han Dynasty."

Then Guo Jia thought that Lei Gong first occupied the land of Hebei, and then occupied the Central Plains. These two places were the places with the largest number of noble families in the world. It can be said that Xu Wei's actions had reduced the strength of the powerful noble families by 90%.
.
Now the only powerful nobles in the entire Han Dynasty are the founding heroes of Nanyang County. But now that Liu Bei has done this, their tiger skin has been removed, and everyone can clearly see them.
As weak as a paper tiger.
As for the areas south of the Yangtze River, Guo Jia seems to have no gentry at all, and there are only some powerful people. They have almost no status in the political territory of the Han Dynasty.
Starting from Emperor Shizu, the Han Dynasty spent more than 200 years trying to weaken the power of the powerful gentry, but no emperor could do this.
However, the rebellious Lei Gong, despite the risk of being besieged by the world, really wiped out the powerful nobles of the Han Dynasty. Now the powerful nobles can no longer affect the general trend of the world. Even if this kind of thing really happens,
Guo Jia still couldn't believe it.
The most powerful force in the world was actually defeated by Thunder God.
"There are no noble clans anywhere. They were beaten to pieces by Thunder Lord, and they were in such a miserable state that their tiger skins had been plucked off long ago. Now everyone still thinks that they are powerful, but it is just the inertia of hundreds of years. In fact, their existence It is meaningless for world hegemony."
Cao Cao did not have the same sentiments as Guo Jia, although his family was also a top family in the Han Dynasty and had been prosperous in the Han Dynasty for 400 years.
But after all, his family has declined, and he has become a member of the eunuch party. He has been discriminated against by the powerful noble families in the world. It can be said that he does not have a strong sense of belonging to these powerful noble families, and naturally he will not be concerned about their decline. feel sad.
On the 3rd day, Liu Bei found Cao Cao, and the two sides discussed the battle plan against Da Gan's army.
Cao Cao assured Liu Bei that after the autumn harvest, he would raise 300,000 troops to threaten Daqian's Jizhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou. At the same time, he would tentatively attack Yanzhou from the direction of Taishan County and try to help Liu Bei delay the elite of Daqian's army. .
Liu Bei mobilized an army of 200,000 to attack Yuzhou first, trying to wipe out tens of thousands of the elite troops of Da Gan Army, and then retreated, leading the main force of Da Gan Army to attack the iron walls of Nanyang County. Relying on the geographical advantages of Nanyang County, he tried to kill and injure Da Gan Army as much as possible. It has the vitality to weaken Lei Gong's power in the Central Plains.
Only Zhang Fei hesitated and said: "It's not that I, Old Zhang, are greedy for life and fear of death. Lei Gong is a famous general in the world. He has never been defeated in battle so far. He should be able to easily see our simple strategy of luring the enemy. One side is suitable for cavalry." Galloping in the land of Qingxu, with the iron-walled Nanyang County on one side, Lei Gong is probably very likely to conquer Qingzhou and Xuzhou first, and then lead hundreds of thousands of troops after the Central Plains has been completely pacified and no one can threaten him anymore. Attack Jingzhou!"
Guo Jiadao: "So timing is very important. Of course Lei Gong can control the overall situation, but it is difficult for Lei Gong's subordinates to have such an overall view. On the one hand, they become the main force going south and the main contributors to pacifying the world. On the other hand, they are the partial forces to contain Yuzhou. The Da Gan Army of Yuzhou will attack Nanyang County without hesitation, and as long as we fight fiercely enough in Nanyang County and attract enough main forces of the Da Gan Army, we can even completely annihilate the Yuzhou Da Gan Army. By that time, even if Lei Gong In order to save this army, he had to launch his own main force to attack Nanyang County.
Therefore, the general has a very heavy burden in this battle. He must not only fight fiercely, but also be completely defeated. He must attract all the Yuzhou cadres to Nanyang County and surround them tightly, making it difficult for them to break through your defense line. , so that Thunder Lord has to come to save his army, and we have the possibility of severely injuring Thunder Lord!"
Yuan Ji was surprised and said: "The battlefield is ever-changing, and the strategy you formulated is so complicated, Fengxiao. If you are not careful, you will lose everything! This battle is too risky!"
Guo Jia said helplessly: "Who makes my military strength inferior to others? I can only find ways to use strategies to weaken the enemy's strength!"
Liu Bei said: "But even if this is the case, there is a high possibility that Lei Gong will attack you!"
Cao Cao said: "We have done everything we should do. If Lei Gong comes again, I will fight to the death with Lei Gong in Qingzhou!"
Even if Liu Bei doesn't believe what Cao Cao says, he has to believe it, because if Cao Cao surrenders again and Lei Gong adds 300,000 troops, the Han's future will become even more bleak.
