Amid panic and unrest, Xiangyang welcomed powerful representatives from all parties in Jingzhou. Liu Biao had been operating in Jingzhou for more than ten years. Although he was not considered to have outstanding political achievements, he still managed to keep Jingzhou safe. Although small-scale wars continued, on the whole
, but there was no war.
In particular, Liu Biao was good at literature and was one of the eight outstanding figures in Jiangxia at that time. His writing style flourished in Jingxiang and was highly praised by scribes.
Zhuge Liang planned Jingzhou for Liu Bei, which can be said to have taken advantage of all the time...
Liu Biao died of illness, and Jingzhou was panicked.
People from all sides have their own thoughts and have not yet formed a unified idea, so they are scattered. If Liu Bei can capture Jingxiang, he can rely on the nine counties of Jingxiang as the foundation to unite with Sun Wu in the east, capture Bashu in the west, and capture Cao Cao in the north. Zhuge Liang exits
This is a big game of chess. If it succeeds, the world will be divided into three points, which will be a foregone conclusion. However, Zhuge Liang also knows very well that there are huge risks hidden in this, so he has to be cautious.
Generally speaking, Jingxiang is divided into three factions.
Among them, the old Shanyang troops brought by Liu Biao from his hometown supported Liu Qi and were willing to cooperate with Liu Bei.
The remaining two factions are the Liu clan headed by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and the local clan headed by the Kuai brothers. In comparison, Cai hopes to support Liu Cong, succeed him to Jingzhou, and rely on Cao Cao to maintain a certain degree of autonomy.
And the Kuai family is different from the Cai family. They are willing to obey the imperial court and at the same time safeguard the local interests of the Jingxiang family. To a certain extent, the Kuai family and the Cai family are one and the same, but they are different. But for now
Generally speaking, the political views of the Kuai brothers and Cai are basically the same.
Zhuge Liang did not dare to underestimate the Kuai brothers.
These two people are representatives of Jingxiang celebrities and have extraordinary wisdom.
Therefore, his plan to capture Jingzhou was never discussed with anyone except Liu Bei and Yi Ji. Even Zhao Yun did not know what his purpose of coming to Xiangyang was. Liu Bei only told him to obey Yi Ji's dispatch.
Never expose your hidden secrets.
In this way, Zhao Yun stayed in Yiji Mansion without anyone noticing.
As for Yi Ji, he assisted Cai Mao in preparing for Liu Biao's funeral as if nothing was wrong, but secretly contacted members of the old Shanyang tribe.
Time passed little by little.
Seeing Liu Biao's seventh day approaching, the city of Xiangyang became very lively.
Mrs. Cai led Liu Cong to receive guests from all walks of life. At the same time, Cai Mao also used the power of the clan to contact all parties intensively, lobbying the Jingxiang clan to support Liu Cong as the lord of Jingzhou. On this point,
Liu Qi, who was not in Xiangyang, was obviously at a disadvantage. On the second day after Liu Biao's death, Liu Qi sent someone to Xiangyang to ask Mrs. Cai and others for permission to return to Xiangyang.
However, Mrs. Cai refused Liu Qi's request on the excuse that the war in Jiangxia was tense and Liu Qi had heavy responsibilities and it was not appropriate to leave without permission...
Later, Liu Qi retreated to the next best thing and persuaded Madam Cai sincerely: I don't have to be the master of Jingzhou, but please respect the foundation that my father has worked so hard to create and don't take refuge in Cao Cao. Jingzhou has condensed my father's hard work, how can I be so easy?
Just give it to someone else?
What's more, that person is still a ***!
Mrs. Cai did not answer, but sent the envoy away...
On the third day after Liu Biao's death, Jiangdong Sun Quan suddenly took action. He appointed Lu Xun, the commander of Haichang, as the order of Wuhu, and sent Cheng Pu and Huang Gai to assemble troops in Chungu County to attack Huainan. Sun Quan's sudden move
The three counties of Huainan suddenly became nervous. Gan Ning immediately sent a messenger to quickly inform Xu Du Xunyu. At the same time, he also asked someone to contact Yu Jin to tell him the truth.
Yu Jin was in Fuxian County, confronting Guan Yu.
Guan Yunchang was ordered to come to Jiangxia to assist Liu Qi in guarding, and had several confrontations with Yu Jin and Li Tong, which put great pressure on Yu Jin.
Yu Jin was feeling embarrassed, but suddenly he heard that Jiangdong was raising troops, and he immediately changed his mind.
After discussing with Li Tong, he decided to temporarily withdraw from Jiangxia and return to Yiyang County. If Sun Quan used a large number of troops, Huainan would be in danger.
Wancheng, County.
Jia Xu sat on the porch, seemingly deep in thought.
His fingers flicked on the guqin in front of him, and from time to time he made one or two melodious sounds.
He frowned and twirled his beard with his other hand. In the courtyard, several ink chrysanthemums were blooming, adding a bit of vitality to this late autumn...
"Is Taizhong here?"
Outside the courtyard, the sound of Yang Di suddenly came.
Jia Xu suddenly raised his eyebrows, woke up from his meditation, raised his eyes and looked out of the courtyard, "Is it Zilu? But what news has come?"
Yang Di walked hurriedly into the courtyard.
"Taizhong, urgent message from Pingchun."
"speak!"
Yang Di took a deep breath and whispered: "Sun Quan of Jiangdong stationed troops in Spring Valley and at the same time mobilized grain and grass to Wuhu.
Yu Wen was worried about the loss of Yiyang County, so he decided to abandon Pang County and withdraw his troops. The prefect of Wenda sent someone to ask if he could withdraw from Pingchun."
When Jia Xu heard this, his expression changed.
A cold light suddenly flashed across those eyes, and he stood up suddenly and said sternly: "Immediately send someone to reply to Li Wenda and ask him to tell Yu Wenze. Even if they die in battle, they will still give me
Crucified in Jiangxia...Sun Zhongmou really knows how to find opportunities to send troops, but...hum, tell them two, if we lose Pingchun County and Pingchun, one day I will write to the prime minister to punish them for fear of war."
Yangba was shocked!
It was rare to see Jia Xu looking so excited, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Logically speaking, it is not unusual for Sun Quan to send troops, and it is also reasonable to withdraw his troops after the ban. Why is Jia Xu so excited? There is even a trace of solemnity on his face? There may be another article in this... Yang Di opened his mouth.
He seemed to want to ask Jia Xu.
However, seeing Jia Xu's face gloomy, he swallowed back the words he spoke.
Hurrying out of the courtyard, he found Li Tong's messenger and repeated Jia Xu's original words. However, the wording was obviously much more tactful. He just said that Jing Xiang was about to break the situation. In any case, Li Tong and Yu Jin could not be together.
Retreating the troops at this time, otherwise it may delay the overall situation. As for the situation in Huainan, there is no need for them to worry. Jia Taizhong has already contacted Xu Du, and he already has a clue.
Anyway, the implication is to tell Li Tong and Yu Jin: you cannot withdraw your troops.
Not only are they not allowed to withdraw their troops, but they must defend the Pingchun and Pingchun areas of Yan County, otherwise military law will be engaged...
Once this involves engaging in military law, even if Yu Jin is a veteran, he has to weigh the weight of it. The messenger tremblingly said goodbye and left. Yang Di was just about to go to the public house to handle official business, but was stopped by someone, saying that Jia Xu had something to see him.
Ask him to go immediately.
Yang Di did not dare to hesitate and hurried to Jia Xu's residence.
Goodbye Jia Xu, he has returned to his normal appearance and looks very calm.
"Is there any wise man in Jiangdong?"
"ah?"
Yang Di was stunned by Jia Xu's meaningless words.
But he saw the corners of Jia Xu's lips curling up into a strange smile, "Sun Quan chose this time to send troops, which was definitely not his intention... In my opinion, he might have joined forces with Liu Bei, otherwise he would definitely not have sent troops at this time.
My lord has won a great victory in Liaodong, and Sun Quan is seeking peace, so how could he send troops to attack at this time? In my opinion, his sending troops is a lie, but it is real to relieve the danger of Jiangxia... The troops stationed in Chungu are just to cover up people's eyes, in order to let Liu Qi
It is enough to have Gan Xing dominate Huainan. In addition, we can send people to Xuzhou and have Zhou Cang attack from Dongling Island to threaten Dantu. Then the danger in Huainan will be solved. However, what I am more interested in is,
Who came up with this plan for Sun Quan... Zhou Gongjin, Zhang Zibu? Or someone else?
Zilu, you don’t have to interfere in this matter, just concentrate on Jingxiang affairs.
On Youxue's side, action is imminent, so we must not take it lightly... As for Jiangdong, I will pay attention to it, so you don't have to worry about it."
Yang Di hesitated for a moment and said softly: "The Grand Administrator Wenda and the Grand Administrator Wenze..."
