Tao Shang got off the warship, thought carefully for a while, and then told Pei Qian: "Send people to the front line and find a way to pass orders to the generals. Don't quarrel with Liu Biao's generals anymore. This battle
The Jinling navy has become famous all over the world, but Liu Biao's navy has become useless. They will no longer have time to take care of the east in a short time. The purpose of this battle has been achieved, so let's not pursue it for the time being. Jingzhou has a vast territory, rich resources, and great strength. It is still
Liu Zhang's troops are here, if you fight them head-on, you will win, and it will be easy for people to miss you if you turn around, so just give it up as soon as you are ready."
Pei Qian listened to the potter's words and hurriedly ordered people to take care of it.
The potter sat down quietly and began to carefully consider his current situation.
Even with the help of Zhang Ren's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Tao Shang felt that with the strength of the Jinling Army, it was not impossible to continue to attack them in depth, but it would not be easy. Even if they won, the damage would be too great.
Liu Biao is connected to Liu Zhang, and his strength spans almost the entire Yangtze River and above. The territory and population can be called the largest. It is extremely unwise to deepen the battle line to this extent without sufficient preparation.
Especially there is Yuan Shao to the north...Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Sun Ce and others cannot be trusted either.
Now that Liu Biao has seen the power of his navy, with his conservative nature, he will never dare to invade Jiangdong easily. In addition, Zhang Xian in the south of Jingzhou has not been completely wiped out, so Liu Biao will definitely not dare to invade Jiangdong easily this time.
The soldiers invaded Jiangdong.
With such a big thing happening in Jiangxia County, Sun Ce and Lu Bu must not be able to calm down. They are afraid that they will attack Jiangxia County again soon. Especially Sun Ce, if he wants to kill Huang Zu, he is probably crazy.
After the battle between himself and Liu Biao, the chaos in the south is probably more complicated than when the heroes in the north merged. But in this way, the city of Nanchang in the southeast of his territory must be safe.
After the news of Pei Qian reached the previous army formation, Xu Rong, who had already turned to the rear to command, immediately ordered the troops to retreat.
The generals on the two sides are fighting inextricably, especially Xu Chu, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Tong Fei, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao and others. Several generals have almost lost their strength at this moment, just to not fall behind Feng and himself.
With dignity, he gritted his teeth and fought fiercely with his opponent.
At this moment, one side took the lead to stop, and the generals and soldiers on both sides breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
Everyone stopped and did not chase their opponents, but they never relaxed in spirit.
Guan Yuhui and Zhang Fei said as they retreated: "The Jinling Army is indeed well-deserved. Their generals have not all come out this time, but they have such combat power. In addition to Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Xu Rong and other senior generals,
In addition, there are many people we have never recognized. If Tao Jun is so powerful, we really have to talk to our brother later. The alliance between Jingzhou and Yizhou is inevitable. If the three Liu families are separated, Tao will be killed sooner or later.
The merchants were defeated one by one."
Guan Yu has always been arrogant, and for him to say such words, it can be seen that the strength of the Jinling Army has indeed exceeded his imagination, making him feel deeply afraid.
Although Zhang Fei has a violent temper, he is also a wise man. While fighting Xu Chu just now, he observed the tactics of the Jinling Army and found that the opponent's equipment, tactics and combat experience were far superior to those of the Jingzhou Army and Yizhou Army.
If the fierce battle continues for a long time, the Jingzhou Army and the Yizhou Army combined may not be able to defeat the Jinling Army.
But this gap in experience cannot be easily bridged.
"Second brother, let's put aside everything else. The gap in combat strength of the soldiers may not be made up in a short while, but what should we do about this matter?"
At this time, he saw Chen Dao riding over. He heard the conversation between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and said: "I have a way to increase the strength of the Jingzhou army and make General Zuo serve as the imperial court."
Reused."
The General Zuo mentioned by Chen Dao was Liu Bei, who was conferred by Liu Biao on behalf of the new emperor Liu Qiong.
Upon hearing what Chen Dao said, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei immediately became interested.
"What does uncle mean by this?"
Although Chen Dao is young, he is very thoughtful, otherwise he would not have been promoted to general of bodyguard by Liu Bei.
He considered the words and said: "After Liu Jingzhou's defeat, he will definitely re-examine the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou Army. The Jingzhou Army has not been in battle for a long time, and its tactics and combat effectiveness are unfamiliar... According to this method of military training, it is
If you practice for another ten years, you will definitely lose to the pottery merchant. Now in Jingzhou, no one else can help Liu Jingzhou train his soldiers and horses, except the lord and the three of us. It is absolutely impossible for anyone else..."
Guan Yu suddenly realized what he said.
Unexpectedly, Chen Dao actually had such thoughts. This was far beyond Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's expectations.
But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the best way for Liu Bei and his group to expand their influence and power in the government and the public in Jingzhou, and to a certain extent, this is indeed to greatly improve the combat effectiveness of Jingzhou soldiers.
A good way.
While the three of them were talking, Zhang Ren came over on horseback and said, "General Guan, General Zhang, and the pottery merchant's troops have all withdrawn!"
The three of them turned around and saw that Jinling's troops had indeed withdrawn completely, leaving no trace behind.
Attacking like the wind, retreating like the wind, the execution ability of Jinling soldiers is really amazing.
Zhang Ren was not very satisfied with Liu Biao's attitude, but his attitude towards Liu Bei's subordinates was obviously very good. Perhaps this was the so-called hero cherishing the hero.
"General Guan, General Zhang, I have heard about the names of these two generals for a long time. When I saw them today, they turned out to be true heroes of the world. People will not deceive me. Zhang intends to invite the two generals to accompany me to the stronghold to talk about it. Let's drink
Serving a few cups can be regarded as making friends? I wonder what the two generals think?"
Zhang Fei was a very cheerful person. He laughed and said, "It is fate that we can meet the heroes of Yizhou today! Second brother, we had a great fight today, how about we go together?"
Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said: "Since it is General Zhang's kindness, it is inconvenient for Guan to refuse! Forget it, let's follow the general to Guizhai to talk about it!"
Zhang Ren nodded and praised: "That's cool! In that case, Zhang Ren will go and prepare first." After that, he said goodbye and left.
As soon as Zhang Ren left, Chen Dao immediately said to Guan Yu: "General Guan, General Zhang, why did you agree to Zhang Ren just now? It would be too arbitrary to act like this. Let's go to the Yizhou Army's barracks to meet Zhang Ren privately.
Let Liu Jingzhou know what to do? You know, Liu Jingzhou has just been defeated..."
Guan Yu said calmly: "General Zhang kindly invites you, and Guan can't refuse it. Besides, we are just a partial army. Helping Liu Jingzhou to block the pursuing troops is already a merit. The Yizhou army may be comforted at this moment and go to the ally army."
Why not meet in the village?"
Zhang Fei was somewhat hesitant and said: "Second brother, actually what Uncle Zhi said is right. We contacted Zhang Ren privately and spread the news to Liu Jingzhou. It really doesn't sound good. What if we cause trouble to my elder brother?"
