Kuai Yue looked at Liu Biao and directly said what he was thinking. Giving Jiangxia to Yuan Shao was just a bait, a bait that Yuan Shao could not refuse, giving him a reason to fight to the death with Cao Cao in Jiangxia County.
"Is it really possible?
Will Yuan Shao really fight to the death with Cao Cao for Jiangxia County?"
After hearing what Kuai Yue said, Liu Biao was a little doubtful.
"My lord also said that Yuan Shao has been in Nanyang for a long time. If he captures Jiangxia, his strength will definitely skyrocket, which will affect my lord's dominance in Jingzhou. Do you think Yuan Shao will let go of such an opportunity?"
Kuai Yue looked at Liu Biao, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"Didn't you say there are two ways?
The first way is to contact and unite with Yuan Shao, and the second way is to contact Yuan Shu who is stationed in Yangzhou?"
Liu Biao glanced at Kuai Yue and directly spoke what was in his heart.
"Yes, the second way is to unite with Yuan Shu from Yangzhou and attack Cao Cao from east to west with him. Then Cao Cao will be defeated."
Kuai Yue nodded to Liu Biao. The second way he mentioned was indeed what Liu Biao said, which was to join forces with Yuan Shu to attack Cao Cao.
"What's the harm in doing this? Just tell me."
Liu Biao looked at Kuai Yue and asked him to continue.
"The disadvantage is that Yuan Shu is not as powerful as Yuan Shao. He may be able to crush Cao Cao in terms of strength. In this case, Jiangxia County will definitely be in Yuan Shu's hands.
Although Yuan Shu may not have time to attack Jingzhou now, Jiangxia will definitely become the bridgehead for him to attack Jingzhou in the future. Once other places are finished, it will be our turn to deal with it."
Kuai Yue glanced at Liu Biao and directly stated the possible situation.
"Yuan Shu is very powerful and cannot be easily provoked. Let's first see if Cao Cao and Huang Zu will fall out. If they fall out, then we will take advantage of the situation and attack.
If Huang Zu really surrenders to Cao Cao, we will first unite with Yuan Shao and attack Cao Cao together. If Yuan Shao does not agree to go south, we will unite with Yuan Shu and drive Cao Cao out of Jingzhou no matter what."
Liu Biao is now a bastard who is determined to drive Cao Cao out of Jingzhou no matter what. As for whether he will face Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu in the future, we will talk about it later.
"No, I understand, so now do we need to increase the number of troops?"
Kuai Yue glanced at Liu Biao with confusion in his eyes.
"Add more troops. Immediately add 50,000 troops to Dangyang. At the same time, you order Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling, to gather troops and horses in Xiaoling to support Jiangxia at any time. The most important thing is to ask Zirou to go to Dangyang with the army and tell Cai Mao to obey everything.
Do you understand Zirou’s arrangement?"
Liu Biao glanced at Kuai Yue and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes. Since this battle is inevitable, let's fight it and fight with all our strength.
"promise."
Upon hearing Liu Biao's order, Kuai Yue was also stunned. He didn't expect Liu Biao to have such determination, but he immediately nodded in agreement.
For a time, the entire Nanjun army was agitated. An army of 50,000 went directly south to Dangyang to reinforce Cai Mao there. At the same time, Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling, also gathered 30,000 troops and went to Xiaoling.
"Everyone, what should we do next?"
Cao Cao glanced at Xi Zhicai, who was sitting opposite, and Xun Yu and Huang Zu next to him, with a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.
"Lord, the first thing we have to do now is to stabilize the situation in Jiangxia and prepare for possible enemies. This enemy is likely to be Liu Biao, and Yuan Shao is also likely to be Yuan Shu from the east."
Xun Yu thought for a moment and then directly expressed his thoughts to Cao Cao. In his opinion, the most important thing was to put stability first, stabilize the situation in Jiangxia first, and strengthen himself to deal with possible enemies.
"Well, what do you two think?"
Cao Cao nodded. Xun Yu was right. After Jiangxia was settled, he would still have to face possible enemies, so a stable Jiangxia was very important to him.
"Lord, I have a different opinion. I think Jiangxia should not be stable now, but should be in chaos."
Xi Zhicai glanced at Cao Cao, but said the completely opposite view.
"Um?
How to say?"
After hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Huang Zu who were listening on the side were all confused.
"My lord, what do you think Liu Jingsheng will do when he learns about the changes in Jiangxia?"
Xi Zhicai started his performance directly, his eyes filled with ecstasy.
"What would Liu Jingsheng think?
What he is thinking now must be how to drive me out of Jingzhou, haha."
Facing Xi Zhicai's words, Cao Cao smiled slightly, but he had already guessed what Xi Zhicai was thinking.
"Lord, you are joking. It is certain that Liu Biao wants to drive us out of Jingzhou, but he must be thinking about our relationship with Brother Yuanyang now.
If Brother Yuanyang refuses to surrender to the lord, then there will definitely be a battle between us. When our battle begins and we lose our troops, he will definitely send troops again to clean up the mess."
Xun Yu glanced at the two people playing riddles and directly said everything Xi Zhicai wanted to say.
"Wen Ruo, is what you said true?
Will Liu Biao really lead his troops into Jiangxia again?"
After hearing Xun Yu's words, Huang Zu realized that Xun Yu was plotting against Liu Biao. If he pretended to fight with Cao Cao, Liu Biao would lead his army into Jiangxia, and he would be able to join forces with Cao Cao to kill Liu Biao by surprise. This was really surprising.
He admires it.
"What do you think?
Zhicai."
Cao Cao looked at the instigator with a smile, and the latter also smiled slightly.
"Hasn't my lord already known it? Liu Biao will definitely not miss the opportunity to lead his army into Jiangxia again. Then we can set up an ambush and defeat Liu Biao again."
"Well, that's true, but there is a drawback to this plan."
Although this strategy was good, Cao Cao saw a drawback in it.
"My lord is afraid that after Liu Biao loses his troops and loses his generals, he will immediately join forces with Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu and send troops to attack Jiangxia again?"
Xi Zhicai glanced at Cao Cao and expressed his concerns directly.
"Well, neither Yuan Shao nor Yuan Shu are easy-going people. If Liu Biao really uses Jiang Xia as bait to let Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu attack us, it will be a problem."
Cao Cao nodded to Xi Zhicai. To be honest, he was really not afraid of Liu Biao. It was not a big problem that Yuan Shao was conquering Yuzhou now, but if Yuan Shu really came to kill him, he would definitely not be able to stop him. After all, the battle of Dantu
Right now, if we really have to fight a defensive battle, no one will benefit.
"Lord, if we send people to Nanyang now to ask for an audience with Yuan Shao, saying that we want to fight with him against Liu Biao, what do you think he will do?"
Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao, with a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
"Compared with Liu Jingsheng, our strength is still slightly insufficient. Yuan Benchu will definitely not join forces with us. It is a no-brainer."
Cao Cao groaned when he heard Xi Zhicai's words.
"My lord is right, but that's only now. If we can really trick Liu Biao into sending an army and then defeat him badly, what do you think Yuan Benchu will think?"
