Chapter five hundred and ninety-six changes in the world are unpredictable II
However, Liu Biao was still uneasy after this arrangement. In fact, with Jingzhou's background, as long as Cai, Kuai and other top Jingzhou families can cooperate wholeheartedly, there will never be a moment of lack of strength. However, in today's world, clan is the basis.
Under this concept, even though these aristocratic families will be loyal to the princes and heroes, the first priority in the hearts of the children of the aristocratic families will always be the family.
Under such a situation, even though Liu Biao knew that Cai, Kuai and other families had the power to help him stabilize the current situation, he did not have the confidence and strength to force Jingzhou families to help him regardless of family interests. After all, for Jingzhou families, a person who could
They are the masters of Jingzhou who allow Jingzhou to protect itself in troubled times, avoid war and become prosperous and stable.
Lord in need. As for whether he can expand externally and compete in the Central Plains, that is not what the Jingzhou family wants. Liu Biao deeply understands that once his existence endangers the collective interests of the Jingzhou families, no matter whether it is the loyal Kuai Yue
, the Kuai Liang brothers, and the Cai family, who are in-laws, will never show mercy to him.
In fact, to be honest, Liu Biao never thought about using the power of the aristocratic family to tide over the difficulties. Liu Biao was confident that with Jingzhou's background, as long as he was given time, he could quickly re-create a hundred thousand elites. However, at this time
Under the circumstances, what he lacks most is time!
Spring plowing is about to take time, and it will take time to recruit troops and horses again. It also takes time to train those newly recruited recruits into basically qualified soldiers. However, at this time when Jingzhou is empty, will the tiger that has been cowering in Nanyang survive?
A sudden backlash is a problem. Even thinking further, with the current situation in the world, who in the north will give Jingzhou time? Sun Ce from Jiangdong, who is also a prince in the south, and Cao Liu from the Central Plains who face the pressure from the north will not
Will you give yourself time?
Each of these is unknown. And Liu Biao does not want to pin his own safety on the so-called unknown and luck. He is not stupid. He dares to use his position as the Lord of Jingzhou to guarantee that whether it is Jingnan, Jiangling or even
If there are any big changes in Jiangxia, it won’t matter.
Whether it is the tiger from Nanyang in the north, or a few hungry wolves from Jiangdong, Huainan or even the Central Plains, they will definitely pounce on them and tear the entire Jingzhou into pieces. By then, let alone regaining strength, it will be stable.
I’m afraid it’s hard to survive in the current weak state!
At this moment, the man who worried Liu Biao the most, the fierce tiger Lu Bu who led the army to camp in Nanyang, was also thinking about a similar problem.
"Gongtai, do you think if we send troops to Xiangyang at this time, will we have a chance to capture Jingzhou?"
Nanyang, in the Wancheng Prefecture. Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong with bright eyes, asking carefully, his domineering eyes exuding the flame of unconcealed ambition.
To be fair, given Lu Bu's temperament, seeing Yuan Shu and Liu Biao fighting for territory back and forth, Cao Cao and Liu Bei also sent troops to Huainan successively, but the reason why he could endure not sending troops until now was entirely due to the previous battle at Puyang.
The blow was coupled with Chen Gong's day after day persuasion, and of course Chen Gong's plans for a bright future that he showed Lu Bu.
However, seeing both Yuan Shu and Liu Biao suffer losses. Liu Biao's army was greatly damaged and unable to take back Jiangxia, so he could only defend Jiangling and Nanjun and sit back and watch the chaos in Jingnan. In the huge land of Jingzhou, Yuan Shu was unable to make progress and could only choose to return to Shouchun to fight for his life.
, in front of Lu Bu, there was only Liu Biao, who had lost more than half of his combat power and was in an unprecedented weak state. How could Lu Bu turn a blind eye to this?
Chen Gong smiled bitterly in his heart. He naturally knew his lord's character very well. Since Yuan Liu launched his campaign, Lu Bu had repeatedly summoned civil and military officials to discuss sending troops, but he was blocked all the time. However, the current situation in Jingzhou is indeed extremely beneficial to his own side. If he can take advantage of the opportunity,
After conquering Xiangyang and taking control of Nanjun, he could then take advantage of the situation and move south. He would have every chance to directly occupy Jiangling, Changsha, Wuling, Lingling, Guiyang and other five counties, making Lu Bu the master of Jingzhou in one fell swoop.
"As for the Jingzhou family..."
Chen Gong thought secretly in his heart, the lord's reputation is not weak, although he is inferior in status, but in today's world, with the temperament of these wealthy families, as long as I can really assist the lord in controlling the overall situation, I don't have to worry about the Jingzhou family being ignorant!
With this thought, Chen Gong's plan was naturally settled. He immediately nodded to Lu Bu and said firmly: "Yuan and Liu were both injured in the fight. Our army is recharging its strength at the gate of Jingzhou. Now Xiangyang is empty and Jingzhou is dark.
It is the time when the lord is developing his grand plans and establishing the foundation of Ding, Jingzhou should be the land of the Lu family!"
"Hahaha!" Lu Bu was ecstatic and laughed out loud, "Okay, I have nothing to worry about now that the public platform is here!"
The two agreed, and Lu Bu no longer had any hesitation in his mind. He immediately beat the drums and raised the tent, summoning his subordinates and civil servants to discuss the matter of marching to Xiangyang.
.......
At the same time, Yuan Shu had no choice but to leave Lei Bo and 30,000 troops to defend Jiangxia to protect his retreat, and then chose to return to Huainan to meet his fate.
This battle will be defeated or not won. This is something Yuan Shu has already known in his mind. Otherwise, he would not have abandoned the iron barrel defense line and entered Jingzhou insistently when he knew that Cao Cao and Liu Bei were raising troops. The bright side
The purpose is to rescue Lei Bo and save Jiangxia, but in fact it is just to escape from a dead situation and survive in death.
Unfortunately, Liu Biao was not as easy to deal with as he thought. After a big battle, both sides suffered losses. But fortunately, Liu Biao was disabled, and at least Lei Bo and most of Jiangxia were protected, which saved himself an escape route and preserved strategic space.
.
"My lord, I came to report from the scouting horse. The Lord of Hell followed the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing out the wilderness, blocking both Cao Cao and Liu Bei outside Shouchun City. Now the two sides have reached a stalemate."
On the evening of the 12th, Yuan Shu, who once again stepped into the territory of Huainan, was filled with emotions. After all, he had to return to this difficult-to-defend Four Battles place to meet the attacks of Cao Liu and others. He did not know that with the strength of Shouchun City, he could
How long can it withstand the joint offensive of Cao Amo, a childhood friend, and Liu Xuande, the newly rising lord of Xuzhou? How long should the victory be?
He shook his head, looked at the bodyguard in front of him who was bowing to report, and waved his hands, thinking to himself, "The strategy we have considered to break the situation of survival in death cannot be regarded as a failure. After all, the three-way threat was resolved first.
On the Jingzhou side, most of Jiangxia and Lei Bo and other 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers were saved.
It can exist as my retreat, and it can exist as my Yuan family's way of survival. As for the present, let's come and let's see how capable Cao Ah Man is and whether he can destroy me, the direct descendant of the fourth generation and three fathers who are rebellious and rebellious against the Han Dynasty.
Son, give another breath to the Han Dynasty that has already existed in name only!"
It has to be said that the successive blows have indeed made Yuan Shu grow up a lot. His judgment of the situation, including his own decision-making, has improved a lot. However, the world is constantly changing, and how can the situation be determined by just one or two people?
