Chapter five hundred and ninety-five changes in the world are unpredictable
Cao Cao went to Liu Bei to discuss how to deal with Yuan Shu's returning army, while Xun Yu analyzed the current situation in detail and planned the layout strategy.
"Why did you lose?"
In Xiangyang, Jingzhou, Liu Biao sat slumped on his bed with a dejected expression, not wanting to face the battle report sent back by Wenpin from the front.
At this moment, he just felt that the ups and downs of life were too fast. He was at the peak one moment, but he turned around and fell into the abyss.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, if Ji Ling hadn't pushed too hard, it wouldn't be enough to capture Jiangxia, and he would forcefully lead a large army to attack Jiangling. That was Liu Biao's core area, and it could be said to be the same core place as Xiangyang. Ji Ling wanted to
If you take it, that means forcing her to fight to the death.
It can be said that if it hadn't been for this, he would not have been inspired to wake up from the reputation he had been immersed in for a long time, temporarily abandon the four counties of Jingnan with great courage, and let Liu Pan and Huang Zhonghe sit in various places in Jingnan.
Forty thousand elite troops rushed to Jiangling to defend and repel the enemy.
Similarly, if Huang Zhong, who was a surprise to Liu Biao, had not done so well, he would have killed Ji Ling at the first meeting, and then together with Liu Panhe would have killed tens of thousands of Yuan troops who had accompanied Ji Ling to invade Jiangling.
Everything is broken. Liu Biao will also not order Wenpin to lead 30,000 Xiangyang elites to fight back against Jiangxia. He hopes that he, Huang Zhong and Liu Pan can take Jiangxia County back under his command.
.However, luck has never been so reliable. In this battle that was related to Liu Biao's future, the early stage of the counterattack was good. With the cooperation of Liu Huangwen and three others, the Jingzhou army won steadily. Even though Lei Bo actively gathered Ji Ling's defeated army, the Jingzhou army was defeated.
They gathered 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses to defend Jiangxia, but the Jingzhou Army soon captured most of the base, and they could only defend the county government.
Unfortunately, a heavy snowfall stopped the offensive of the three men, and also stopped Liu Biao's idea of taking back Jiangxia, deploying troops to Jingnan, and stabilizing the situation in Jingzhou. The news that came later gave Liu Biao an even more headache. Yuan Shu directly
Set up a fish trap
Breaking, I wanted to avenge my beloved general Ji Ling, and at the risk of my hometown being captured by Cao Cao and Liu Bei, I forced Yan Xiang to defend Huainan with 20,000 to 30,000 troops, while I personally led a total of 70,000 elite troops.
Attack Jiangxia and fight to the death.
To be honest, Liu Biao was quite confused. Although he and Yuan Shu had many conflicts and fights due to chassis issues, was this to the point of extinguishing hatred?
Fortunately, the weather was on his side this time. The heavy spring rain after the heavy snow melted blocked the offensive of Yuan Shu's army after they arrived in Jiangxia. Three days of heavy rain not only weakened Yuan's army's morale and strength, but also gave it enough strength.
It was time for Wenpin, Liu Pan, and Huang Zhong to switch from offense to defense and arrange defensive measures.
It stands to reason that Yuan Jun is worried and Yuan Shu is crazy. As long as Wenpin and others can survive the most violent period of Yuan Jun's offensive and wait for its momentum to weaken, then they can take advantage of the news that Huainan is under siege and Shouchun is about to fall.
All this was an absolutely fatal blow to Yuan Jun at that time, enough to disrupt the morale and strength of his army. At that time, as long as Wenpin, Huang Zhong and others took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, Yuan Jun's defeat was basically certain.
Got off.
However, how could a great situation be overturned by Yuan Shu, a lunatic who didn't seem to have a good head? Was he taking advantage of the favorable timing?
Tens of thousands of troops came out in force, and they managed to defeat Liu Pan in one fell swoop through the rain and fog, and through the mud and water even after the rain had not completely stopped for three days and nights, and it was about to turn into night. Huang Zhong spent a lot of time and effort.
The camp was established. If it weren’t for Liu Pan,
Huang Zhong and Huang Zhong were brave enough to hold on until Wenpin, the leader of the army who realized something was wrong, came to clean up the situation and launched a counterattack step by step. At this time, Liu Biao asked himself what else could he do other than exile in Jingnan and Shuzhong or go north to join Yanxu?
way out.
"No! I can't just sit back and wait for death!" After all, it was the Lord of Jingzhou who was forced by the situation to awaken a lot of courage. After being decadent for a long time, Liu Biao finally adjusted himself slowly and stood up boldly, "Come here, call Zirou.
Meet me at home!"
"promise!"
The voice of the guards sounded outside, followed by the sound of footsteps disappearing.
"I've met my lord!" Soon, Kuai Liang appeared in front of Liu Biao's couch with a calm expression and bowed in salute.
"Zirou, you should know everything about the Jiangxia War, right?" Although Liu Biao was asking a question, his tone was very sure, "What do you think we should do?"
"Don't worry, my lord!" Kuai Liang did not hide his hesitation. In fact, when Liu Biao called him here, he had already understood Liu Biao's purpose and analyzed the current situation. He was naturally prepared in his heart and analyzed in a deep voice.
He stood up and said: "Now that Nanjun is empty, Xiangyang's soldiers and horses must not move again. You must know that Lu Fengxian and his remnants still exist in Nanyang. Although they are
It is said that he has been entrenched in Wancheng and cannot leave, but we must not easily ignore his existence. Once Xiangyang is empty, it is inevitable that he will not take advantage of it. The elites of the four counties in Jingnan have been lost, and now the county guards are just barely maintaining stability.
We can no longer use our strength. Although Jiangling still has some remaining strength, it is an important area for our army, so we cannot abandon its troops and guard it..."
"I know it, just tell me how to deal with it!" Liu Biao looked impatient and forcibly held back his hand and waved.
"Endure!" Kuai Liang looked at Liu Biao calmly and said, "Now the only elite forces available to our army are the navy and Wen Pin's troops. They must not make any losses in a short period of time. Therefore, my lord,
We don’t really have a choice!”
Liu Biao's expression kept changing, as if he had opened a dyeing workshop. After hesitating for a long time, he asked: "How can I bear it?"
Kuai Liang looked relieved. With the situation at this time, he was afraid that Liu Biao would go his own way. He immediately said: "My lord, you can order Liu Pan to return to Jingnan to recuperate, and at the same time, he will be in charge of the four counties. With his prestige in Jingnan, he can guarantee the safety in a short time."
If Jingnan is not in chaos, he will be ordered to gather troops and horses to rectify the situation.
Just start plowing in the spring. As for Huang Zhong, as a fierce general who is hard to find in the world, the lord can ask him to return to Jiangling to take charge, or he can recruit a bodyguard by himself to train troops and wait for opportunities to spy and attack Jiangxia. As long as there is a change in Huainan, with his ability,
It will definitely wake us up."
"Yeah!" Liu Biao nodded repeatedly. After Kuai Liang finished speaking, he was slightly startled and asked, "What about Zhong Ye?"
Kuai Liang smiled bitterly, "My lord, do you think Lu Bu will take advantage of the situation and go south with the intention of settling in Jingzhou?"
"Hiss~"
Liu Biao took a breath, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, especially after Kuai Liang analyzed the situation for him as soon as he arrived, his worry became stronger, and he quickly asked: "What does Zirou mean?"
"
Kuai Liang nodded: "My lord, you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. We should take precautions before it happens. General Wen and the more than thirty thousand elites under his command, I suggest that in addition to giving General Liu Pan five thousand to return to Jingnan,
Give General Huang Zhong five thousand guerrillas in Jiangling and Jiangxia to contain and suppress the development of Yuan's army.
, all the rest must return to Nanjun under his leadership, ready to respond to Lu Fengxian's attack at any time. At the same time, he ordered all counties and counties to organize troops and horses to defend on the spot. While not delaying spring plowing, they must do their best to recruit and train
Send out an army of troops and horses in case of emergencies."
"Okay!" Liu Biao's expression slowly relaxed, and he followed Kuai Liang's suggestion without hesitation.
