"Xu Sheng!? What did you say? Send troops to rescue Xiangyang? Are you crazy? I don't agree!"
With the decision made in his mind, Xu Sheng hurriedly traveled from Chaisang to Lujiang, where Yu Jin was guarding, in just one day.
Yu Jin was shocked when he saw Xu Sheng, whose eyes were blood red and dusty.
What's going on?
Looking at Xu Sheng's posture, it was obvious that he had been traveling all night. Why was he so anxious? Could it be that Chai Sang was lost!?
Shocked, Yu Jin quickly asked him questions, but the result was that Yu Jin was furious.
This Xu Sheng came so quickly to ask me to cooperate with him in sending troops to rescue Xiangyang?
Just kidding, Xiangyang was besieged by Xichuan's 150,000 troops, and the leading general was Liu Bei's sworn brother Guan Yu.
The states and counties in Jingzhou didn't send troops to rescue, so why are you, an outsider, rushing to rescue? Are you crazy?
"Wen Ze! Listen to me, even if we lose all the troops in Yangzhou this time, as long as we can save Xiangyang, it won't be a loss!"
After saying that, Xu Sheng quickly waved his hand and screened out all the soldiers nearby.
Knowing that Mrs. Cai was the lover of his overlord, Xu Sheng naturally did not dare to be careless. If something happened to Mrs. Cai and the overlord found out that it was because he did not go to the rescue, Xu Sheng would definitely not be able to bear the blame.
.
After all, no one knows how deep the entanglement between these two people is, right?
What's more, there is still a big achievement waiting for me on the day of passing on the national jade seal. How can I not be anxious about this.
Of course, Xu Sheng would not talk about the relationship between Overlord and Mrs. Cai behind his back.
But even if the imperial seal is mentioned alone, I'm afraid Yu Jin won't be able to sit still, right?
Sure enough, when Xu Shengping stepped back and told the story about the imperial seal, Yu Jin suddenly gasped for breath.
Xu Sheng was a person who later surrendered. He didn't know much about the imperial seal, but Yu Jin knew it well!
Why did the Overlord attack Yuan Shu back then? Wasn't it because of the jade seal that passed down the country?
If the northern princes had not been fighting against the Overlord for many years, the Overlord would have sent his troops to the west to destroy Liu Biao and take back the jade seal.
As a general who followed Xiang Ji when he started his career, Yu Jin was also very unwilling.
Why can Taishi Ci be able to fight for many years and achieve great achievements, and even now he has been promoted to the post-general of Chu State?
And I have been guarding Yangzhou for so many years, but I am still just a general who controls the west.
At this level, there is a gap of two whole levels!
Although the difference is only two levels, it is as insurmountable as a chasm.
A post-general is a senior general within a country.
As for General Zhenxi, he is definitely not qualified to be in the imperial court, let alone a bad person.
Now, the gap is huge.
Now that he heard the news about the imperial seal, Yu Jin couldn't sit still.
If you can accomplish this feat and get the imperial seal, even if you hold an official position in a certain family, you will have to do that, right?
If a person dies, a bird will look up to the sky, and he will not die for tens of thousands of years!
Done!
After thinking about it in his mind, Yu Jin made a decision.
In order to pass on the national jade seal, it is worth fighting for it!
Xu Sheng didn't know, but how could Yu Jin not know that he had a good personal relationship with Zhou Tai.
Now, not to mention that Zhou Tai and his navy are not here, maybe the Overlord has not returned from overseas, right?
Judging from the current situation, as long as Peng Cheng is notified of this situation, it will not be considered a violation of discipline for him and Xu Sheng to send troops.
After all, rescuing troops is like putting out fire. I believe Pengcheng will understand after understanding the situation.
"Okay! Xu Sheng, we're done!
Wait for a certain family to write a letter first and report the matter to Pengcheng.
You rest for a day, and then immediately return to Chaisang to organize the troops. When you and I have assembled our armies, we will go straight to Xiangyang to meet Naguan Laoer for a while!"
Seeing that Yu Jin finally agreed, Xu Sheng was overjoyed.
The credit has been earned!
Although if he had sent troops alone, the credit would not even be shared with Yu Jin, but Xu Sheng knew in his heart that if he only relied on the 40,000 defenders in Chaisang City, he would only be delivering food to Naguan Laoer.
What's more, he really doesn't have the courage to go out in full force. At the very least, he must keep the ten thousand defenders. Otherwise, if he goes out rashly and loses Chai Sang, he will really die.
Let go of the blame.
Now, if Yu Jin is willing to send troops, then if the two armies join forces, they will be able to gather his 60,000 to 70,000 troops. If it is just to rescue Xiangyang, I think it will be enough.
After all, no matter how hard it is said, Jingzhou does not have no troops.
As long as the two of them can hold back Guan Lao'er, when Jingzhou soldiers and horses arrive one after another, I'm afraid that Guan Lao'er will have no choice but to run away in embarrassment, right?
But how did Xu Sheng know that most of the prefectures and counties in Jingzhou were currently being conquered by Liu Bei?
Of course, this strategy is not about sending troops to attack directly. After all, Liu Bei, who has attacked many places, is not that powerful yet.
In order to obtain Jingzhou, Liu Bei spent a lot of money.
Now, there are Liu Bei's envoys in almost every state, county, and clan in Jingzhou.
Their purpose was to bribe these clans to give up their support for Liu Zong and instead support Liu Qi or remain neutral.
As for why not let these clans directly support themselves?
Are you kidding, who is Liu Bei? Even if he thinks so in his heart, he should just pretend to be like that, right?
The worst thing is that Liu Qi will be asked to abdicate in the future and admit that he is orthodox.
Before Liu Bei became famous, he might not have cared about face so much. Now that Liu Bei has become the emperor of Shu Han, the issue of face naturally needs to be taken seriously.
Of course, there are no fools in the clans of Jingzhou, so how could they not know what Liu Bei wanted?
But so what? Whether the emperor is Liu Biao, Liu Zong, Liu Qi or even Liu Bei, does it make any difference?
As long as these clans can protect their own interests, they don't care who the emperor is.
The envoy sent by Liu Bei was to make a promise to them and make a promise to allow their family to develop and grow.
Yes, in order to obtain Jingzhou in the fastest way with the least loss, Liu Bei simply divided the entire Jingzhou equally with these clans.
For example, in the four counties of Jingnan, Liu Bei simply gave all of his money to these clans and made them the fiefdoms of his own family.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Bei dared to order Guan Yu to directly besiege Xiangyang.
You know, without the reinforcements from Jingzhou counties, Xiangyang would be nothing more than an isolated city.
It's just that Liu Bei, despite all his calculations, never took into account the variable Xiang Ji.
If Xiang Ji had not had such a romantic relationship with Mrs. Cai, even the Cai family in Xiangyang would never have thought of asking for help from Chu.
