The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 217
It's just that Liu Xiao just realized Xu Shu's strategy now, it's really too late, just three days ago, Liu Biao had already made a decision!

Liu Biao occupied Jingzhou, but he didn't have any ambitions, especially as he got older, he was even more unwilling to be competitive. It's like being willing to see a huge threat appearing around me!

Don't say that Liu Xiao is getting stronger and stronger, and his power has extended to Yangzhou. Even Liu Bei's residence in Nanyang makes Liu Biao a little restless. Among other things, Liu Bei has always been ambitious, but he just hibernated in Nanyang before the right time. Once the time comes, it is by no means a generation that lives under others for a long time.

Finally, Liu Bei was sent out and let him go to Jiangdong. Regardless of whether Liu Bei could defeat Sun Ce and Zhao Yun and obtain the land of Jiangdong, at least Liu Bei would not stay in Jingzhou for a long time, and Liu Biao felt much more at ease. No one knows if he can live for a few days. As for his two sons, they are mediocre people.

Lend troops to Liu Bei to attack Jiangdong. If Liu Bei wins the six counties of Jiangdong, he will owe himself a big favor. Even if he is not restrained by himself, this alliance is unbreakable. Anyone who wants to attack Jingzhou must carefully weigh it , Jingzhou and Yangzhou join forces, the strength is strong, whether I can bear it; if Liu Bei is unfortunately defeated and returns to Jingzhou, then it goes without saying, let Liu Bei stay by his side honestly, the opportunity is given to him, and he will do it himself. Uncertainty, if he is disgraced and disgraced, even if he wants to make trouble in the future, he must have someone to follow him, and he must be able to convince the public.

In particular, Sun Ce has a feud with himself for killing his father. If he makes Sun Ce bigger step by step, he will really be unable to sleep. His father and Sun Jian are even more powerful, and he is assisted by Sun Jian's veteran ministers. Once he occupies Jiangdong, it will be a serious problem!
So Liu Biao accepted Ji Yue's suggestion and sent Liu Bei to attack Lujiang County in an attempt to occupy the entire six counties in Jiangdong.

Just hit the small one and come out the big one!
Liu Xiao has already regarded Yuan Shu as a dead bone in the tomb, and Yangzhou as something in his pocket. How can you give up on taking food from the tiger's mouth like this?

If Liu Xiao hadn't defeated Yuan Shao, he wouldn't have gone south so soon. After all, Qingzhou and Jizhou are the most important. The foundation of his own struggle for world hegemony lies. Now that Yuan Shao has been defeated, Lu Bu's is cheap, and he will not threaten Jizhou for the time being. , Cao Cao will not act rashly, just gave Liu Xiao the opportunity to go south.

Liu Xiao led an army of tens of thousands all the way south, and came straight from Qingzhou. Liu Biao just became panicked. Liu Xiao, this kid is too evil. Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and even Gongsun Zan had all had trouble with him. After a big fight, Liu Xiao became stronger and stronger, from having nothing all the way through, to now, he is sitting in the land of Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, with no less than 20 soldiers. Enough for Jingzhou to drink a pot.

When he was nervous, Liu Xiao's letter arrived in Jingzhou. The main point was to blame Liu Biao for helping outsiders to bully the same clan. You and I have no grudges in the past, and we have no grudges in recent days. Why did you send Liu Bei to raid Lujiang and occupy several counties in the east of the river?Aren't you afraid that I will raise a crowd of [-] young people to attack Jingzhou?
After Liu Biao finished reading the letter, he was really scared. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Qingxu, Liu Xiao is absolutely not exaggerating. It can surpass two Jingzhous, which is equivalent to the population of the four states. Such a powerful strength is definitely not something that Jingzhou can resist the enemy!
Just when Liu Biao's heart began to waver, and he was about to make Liu Bei give in and shake hands with Liu Xiao, Yao Yue came to his door.

This time it was Liu Bei's request for help, not so much a request for help, but a threat from Liu Bei!

It is necessary to increase troops to Jiangdong, fight Liu Xiao to the death, gather the power of the two families, and drive Liu Xiao's strength out of Jiangdong in one fell swoop!
Although Liu Xiao's army is strong now, but after all, he has just conquered Jizhou, the people's hearts are not attached, and the rear is unstable. Most of the troops need to stay in Jizhou and Qingzhou to guard against the attacks of Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Defeating us is as powerful as the sky. Now is the best chance to drive Liu Xiao out of Jiangdong in one fell swoop and conquer Yangzhou. Once you win, both Jingzhou and Yangzhou will be owned by your brother, and you will even go south to Jiaozhou and go west. Yizhou is by no means difficult, and it will definitely be able to establish the legacy of his brother.

If not, Liu Xiao regained the six counties of Jiangdong, and given time, stabilized the rear, united with Cao Cao, defeated Lu Bu, and perhaps one-third of the Han Dynasty would fall into Liu Xiao's hands. In just three to five years, Liu Xiao would be able to conquer the Jiangdong six counties. The operation of the county is like an iron barrel, and a powerful navy has been established. At that time, the Yangtze River will be shared by both sides. If we attack Jingzhou, my brother will definitely be defeated!

If Liu Xiao is going to attack Jingzhou, the attack and defense will change. How will my elder brother, Jingxiang, have nine counties and one state, resist the enemy?

Liu Bei and Xu Shu's analysis, coupled with Ji Yue's persuasion, made Liu Biao's already shaken heart firm again, and he couldn't do without a fight, unless he surrendered and gave up his current power and position, otherwise, he could only fight with Liu Xiao Knock!

"Anyway, Liu Xiao has been offended. In the letter, Liu Xiao is still arrogant and doesn't take Jingzhou seriously. If Liu Bei is defeated and Jiangdong falls again, at that time, Jingzhou will lose any barriers. In the future, he will definitely be defeated by Liu Xiao and become Liu Xiao's prisoner. Instead, it is better to take advantage of Liu Bei's current victorious momentum and fight Liu Xiao. If Liu Xiao is defeated, maybe even Xuzhou can be won in one fell swoop. Become a real hero!"

Qi Yue's words made Liu Biao's heart beat, and he finally made up his mind!

"Order Cai Mao to mobilize [-] naval troops to control the Yangtze River coast; order General Wenpin to lead [-] elite troops to cross the river from Jiangxia to the north and attack Huainan County again; order Liu Pan and Huang Zhong to lead [-] Changsha troops to go north along the Xiangjiang River and go straight to Lujiang County rushes to help Liu Bei and jointly resist Liu Xiao's attack!"

Liu Biao passed orders one after another from the governor's office. The first one to act was Cai Mao. The powerful Jingzhou naval force was dispatched instantly and controlled the coast of the Yangtze River. Then Wenpin's [-] troops rode warships and crossed the Yangtze River directly to Huainan County. come!
