After the beginning of spring, spring returns to the earth and the weather begins to warm up.
At this time, the war machine of the Shu Kingdom was in full operation. All preparations such as recruiting soldiers, collecting food, forging weapons, etc. were all ready, just waiting to take the oath to fight. However, not only ordinary soldiers were recruited this time, but also many young people in the martial arts academy.
They also joined the army one after another, transformed into the lowest officer in the army, and began to embark on the journey.
More than 80,000 soldiers lined up in the eastern suburbs of Chengdu.
After initial training, these soldiers are already different from those who have just joined the army.
Next, we are waiting for the test of blood and fire.
At a glance, one can see that the military is in great shape and its morale is high, which is inspiring.
On the temporary high platform, Lu Meng, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, swore to go into battle. Although Lu Meng was not old, only about 20 years old, he was still very young, but Lu Meng had been in the army for a long time and had already made great achievements in battle, especially when he killed Lu Bu.
Lü Meng participated. It was Lü Meng who killed Ma Teng, and it was Lü Meng who captured Cao Hong. Each incident convinced the soldiers in the army.
Lü Meng swore an oath to go out, and the army left Chengdu to formally attack Jingzhou.
Previously, waves of public opinion attacks spread throughout Jingzhou, which overwhelmed Liu Biao and established him as a negative example, becoming the target of everyone's crusade.
It was a matter of course for the army to go out for battle.
The people all believed that Liu Biao was unkind and unjust. It was a matter of course that the Shu army went out to fight for the right and against the unjust. This was the power of Shu's public opinion offensive, which made it difficult for Liu Biao to refute.
…
After Liu Biao received the news that the Shu army was sending troops, he finally panicked.
Before and after the year, Liu Biao was very angry and helpless about the remarks spread by the Shu Kingdom. He had strictly ordered the Chu officials to discuss the matter and sent people to hunt down those who spread the rumors.
But the more this happened, the more Liu Biao seemed to be an unethical person.
The more you intervene in the situation, the more chaotic it becomes.
Chu Palace, in the main hall.
Now Liu Biao could no longer sit still. He was walking back and forth in the hall with an urgent expression on his face. He rubbed his hands from time to time as he walked, looking at a loss.
At this time, Liu Biao felt that he was too impulsive.
Even if what Wang Can does is a little out of bounds and is not good for him, he can't offend Wang Can recklessly!
Just be patient and it will pass.
But now that the Shu army was coming with great force, how could he resist it? Liu Biao had no idea and was in a panic. At this moment, he kept thinking about the past and felt that he should not form an alliance with Liu Bei or send troops to contain Wang Can.
He shouldn't have rescued Liu Bei, nor should he have offended Wang Can.
However, it was already too late. The army was pressing down on the situation and the situation was irreversible.
As for surrender, Liu Biao had no such idea at all.
He was a royal relative of the Han Dynasty, and it was impossible for him to surrender voluntarily.
"Tap! Tread! Tread!..."
Outside the main hall, there was a burst of messy footsteps.
After Liu Biao heard the footsteps, he knew that Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Cai Mao and all the civil and military officials were coming. Liu Biao's expression immediately changed and he became serious. He pretended to be calm and returned to his seat to wait for everyone to come in.
Civil and military officials entered the palace. The civil officials were led by Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, and the military generals were led by Cai Mao.
Although Cai Mao was severely criticized by Liu Biao, he had to rely on Cai Mao to stabilize the situation at critical moments.
Subsequently, Zhang Yun, Han Song, Liu Xian, Li Gui, Du Xi, Fu Xun, Wenpin, Yi Ji and other civil and military generals came in one after another. They all also knew the news of the Shu army's invasion, and the deep-seated people in the city still
He could be calm and composed without any panic. But some officials were worried about the situation in Jingzhou.
After the officials came in, they bowed to pay homage to Liu Biao.
Then, Liu Mian's expression suddenly turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "The traitor Wang Can ignored the Chu and Shu alliance and sent troops to attack Jingzhou. Such a cruel and violent traitor must be killed by everyone. If you want to kill the traitor Wang, you have the opportunity to do so."
Any suggestions?"
After the words fell, there was silence in the hall.
At this time, it was very quiet.
It seems that all the important civil and military ministers have been frightened by Wang Can's name and have no courage to stand up and speak out.
Liu Biao saw that all the people who usually talked loudly were speechless, and his heart was filled with hatred. He valued the officials in the palace very much, and often invited them to write poems and rhymes and talk about current affairs. At that time, the house was full of guests, and every official talked loudly.
He knows everything, knows everything, and there is nothing he cannot solve.
But now no one stood up, which made Liu Biao deeply disappointed. People often say that loyal ministers can be identified only when the country is in crisis, and now Liu Biao believed it.
At this time, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and others did not speak.
Liu Biao was helpless and looked at Kuai Yue.
At this time, Kuai Liang took the initiative to stand up, raised his hands and said: "My lord, I have a plan to stop the Shu army."
Liu Biao was immediately overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Zirou, what can I do, please come quickly?"
Kuai Yue said loudly: "The Shu Kingdom has many elite soldiers, a rich country and a strong people, and the army is unstoppable. Although we have a strong army in Jingzhou, we are weak and cannot support the overall situation alone. Therefore, I humbly suggest that the lord send an envoy to Yanzhou to invite Wei
King Cao Cao sent troops to help. At the same time, he sent envoys to Jiangdong and asked Wu Wang Sun Jian to send troops to help. If the three armies gather in Jingzhou, they will surely be able to stop the Shu army."
Liu Biao thought for a while, frowned slightly, and said seriously: "Zirou, Wang Can is a tiger, Cao Cao and Sun Jian are wolves, if we defeat the tiger, what will happen to the two hungry wolves?"
I have to say that Liu Biao still has some ability.
After listening to Kuai Yue's words, he immediately thought of the consequences.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Everyone wants to take the place of Jingzhou's Four Battles as their own, it just depends on one's ability.
Kuai Yue also stood up, raised his hands and said: "My lord, Wang Can is so famous that he defeated Yuan Shao, killed Ma Teng, killed Han Sui, occupied Liangzhou, occupied Yizhou, and captured Nanyang. He is already the most powerful prince in the world.
Strong. Under the current situation, if we want to stop Wang Can's army, we can only use our strength to fight and rely on the power of Sun Jian and Cao Cao, otherwise we will definitely lose."
After a pause, Kuai Yue continued: "If Cao Cao and Sun Jian really want to plot against Jingzhou, my lord should rise up to resist. If it doesn't work, we immediately ask for help from Wang Can, and then use Wang Can's power to push them back. And so on.
, what is consumed is the troops of Wang Can, Sun Quan and Cao Cao, we will definitely be able to defend Jingzhou."
Liu Biao nodded when he heard this. It seemed that this logic made sense.
However, he suddenly said excitedly: "We and Wang Can are enemies, how can we ask him for help?"
Kuai Yue said: "My lord, Wang Can does not want to see Jingzhou fall into the hands of others, so he will send troops to rescue. This has nothing to do with hatred. He is an enemy now, but it does not mean he will be in the future."
Liu Biao remained silent, then gritted his teeth and agreed.
Only by borrowing strength can he always take the initiative and control the situation. But in fact, whether Liu Biao can succeed depends on whether Liu Biao has the ability to borrow strength. Otherwise, he will not borrow strength and will hurt himself instead.
At this time, Yi Ji stood up again, raised his hands and said: "My lord, there is actually a force we can use!"
Liu Biao immediately asked: "Who?"
Yi Ji smiled and said: "Liu Bei, the king of Han, is stationed in Fancheng, arranging his soldiers and practicing military formations. The lord can use Liu Bei's strength to resist the Shu army. As long as the lord gives him weapons, food and grass, Liu Bei will be able to use all his strength to defend the north of Jingzhou.
The main road, this is the closest and easiest way for us to help!"
Liu Biao nodded and said: "Uncle Ji's words are right. We must seize all the power we can and use all our power to resist Wang Can. You must handle this matter personally and let Liu Bei do his best to stop Shu."
military."
"promise!"
Yi Ji nodded in agreement, a smile flashed across his face.
Kuai Liang continued: "My lord, I think that in addition to asking for help, we must send a large army to station in Zhuyang County and Baokang County. With two armies and horses acting as horns to block the Shu army, I also sent an order to Liu Bei to lead him.
Only by attacking the Shu army with a large army under my command can Jingzhou be defended."
"That's right!"
After hearing what Kuai Liang said, Liu Biao immediately agreed.
Immediately, Liu Biao ordered: "Yiji, when you send food and ordnance to Liu Bei, ask them to set off immediately and rush to the front line as a vanguard to prepare to meet the Shu army."
"promise!"
Yi Ji agreed, but a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.
Liu Biao asked again: "Zirou, who do you think is the most suitable to be stationed in Zhuyang County or Baokang County?"
Kuai Liang replied: "General Cai's general Wenpin has both civil and military skills and outstanding marksmanship. Although he is young, he is loyal and reliable. Wenpin can be stationed in Baokang County. General Zhang Yun is superb in martial arts and is absolutely loyal to the lord.
We can garrison Zhuyang County. Generals Wenpin and Zhang Yun rely on each other and will be able to stabilize the situation. In addition, General Cai coordinates in the middle and leads the army to support the two armies at any time. This is a humble suggestion. Please be aware of it, my lord."
Liu Biao laughed and said: "Okay, okay, with Zirou's words, I, Jingzhou, will have no worries!"
After handling the matter in Jingzhou, Liu Biao breathed a sigh of relief.
