The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 237 Stupid as a Pig
At this time, Liu Bei can no longer care about the six counties of Jiangdong, so he will go back to Jiangxia County first!
However, the tens of thousands of troops does not mean that they can leave Lujiang after leaving Lujiang. What's more, besides Lujiang, there are still many troops in the four counties of Luling, Danyang, Yuzhang and Kuaiji. At this time, lead the main force of the army to leave Lujiang , that is tantamount to handing over the rest of the counties to Liu Xiao. Even Liu Bei's generation of heroes would never accept such a loss!

"My lord, the main force of the army is heading north to Jiangxia County. How about the five counties in Jiangdong?"

Guan Yu asked in a deep voice, "After all, the five counties have all fallen into our hands now. When the main force of the army returns to Jingxiang, the five counties will be empty. Facing Liu Xiao's tens of thousands of elites, how can these five counties be able to hold on?" ?”

Liu Bei clenched his teeth and looked a little embarrassed. He was really reluctant to give up the six counties of Jiangdong...

"My lord, you can lead the main force northward with General Liu Pan to help Jiangxia County. I would like to garrison Lujiang with Yunchang and Wenchang, and lead [-] elites to continue confrontation with Liu Xiao. It would be best if we can hold Lujiang. If we don’t live in Lujiang, Yunchang and I will lead the army to retreat to Yuzhang County. In any case, we must ensure that the three counties of Yuzhang, Kuaiji, and Luling are in our hands. Moreover, Luling of Yuzhang is adjacent to Changsha. If they are all lost, Liu Xiao will lead the army from Luling and bypass Changsha to attack Guiyang, attacking from south to north, and the Jingxiang nine counties will be really dangerous..."

Xu Shu said in a deep voice.

Liu Bei turned his eyes to Liu Pan. After all, Liu Pan was Liu Biao's confidant and his nephew. Most of the troops under his command were Liu Biao's main force. Once Liu Pan disagreed and encouraged the troops below, it would be difficult for him now. Keep these tens of thousands of troops for your own use...

Liu Pan hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, what Yuan Zhi said is not unreasonable, and Zhou Yu attacked Jiangxia with only 2 troops, and now Cai Mao and Wenpin have more than [-] troops Compared with Zhou Yu and Zhao Yunwei, we only need to send [-] to [-] troops, and the north and the south will attack, which is enough to defeat Zhou Yu and take him back to Jiangxia, but there is no need to mobilize all the troops to attack..."

Liu Pan is also helpless, let Liu Bei give up the six counties of Jiangdong that he has already obtained?If you think about it, it's impossible, and that would be too unreasonable. Dividing the troops into two groups, defending the Lujiang River all the way, and returning to aid Jiangxia all the way, has become the only feasible strategy at present.

Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said: "In this case, Yuan Zhi, Yun Chang is injured, and he can't help you if he stays in Lujiang, and Yun Chang is very resourceful. If you are not around, I need to discuss all military affairs with Yun Chang. If we can't separate, I will let you go." Deliu will help you in Lujiang."

Liu Bei reorganized the army overnight, leaving Zhang Fei and Wei Yan to assist Xu Shu in Lujiang City, commanding [-] troops, and continuing to confront Liu Xiao; he, Liu Pan, Huang Zhong, and Guan Yu led the main force all the way northward, and Cai Mao pinched Zhou Yu in an attempt to take back Jiangxia county.

It's easy to say, now that Liu Bei is confronting Liu Xiao outside Lujiang City, the army hastily retreated without making sufficient preparations. Once Liu Xiao attacks, the tens of thousands of troops will be completely defeated by the attacking Xuzhou army. As the enemy, Xu Shu was resourceful and resourceful, so the two of them naturally wouldn't take such a big risk.

It was not until the night of the second day that Liu Bei's army completed adjustments to its deployment. On the third day, when the sky was just getting brighter, Liu Bei led an army of thirty to forty thousand troops and advanced all the way to the sweat ferry, preparing to cross the Yangtze River and return reinforcements. Jiangxia.

However, before Liu Bei's troops could all board the ships, dozens of ships appeared in the distance, cutting through the waves, approaching the ferry quickly like an arrow from a string.

Liu Bei was startled and shouted: "Archers, prepare. No ships on the river are allowed to approach the ferry without my order! Guan Ping, send ships to investigate the military situation!"

Guan Ping exchanged a few small boats, and was about to go to investigate, when Huang Zhong, who was at the side, spoke.

"Liu Shijun, there's no need, that's the flag of our Jingzhou, the flag of the Jingzhou navy, and it belongs to us!"

"Our people?"

Liu Bei was stunned and said, "General Han Sheng, are you sure it's Jingzhou's navy?"

Huang Zhong nodded and said: "Mr. Liu, Jingzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, where water and land are equally important. My lord has at least [-] sailors under his command. The strength is so strong that it surpasses all heroes. Not only Jiangxia, but also Yuzhang, Guiyang, and Changsha. The navy stationed there must be the Jingzhou navy!"

While he was talking, the boat on the opposite side had already arrived at the ferry, less than a hundred steps away from the pier.

"Is that Duke Xuande in front? Wenpin is here!"

On the bow of the boat, Wen Pin and Gan Ning stood side by side, their faces were full of exhaustion, even their voices became hoarse.

"Wenpin, it really is Zhongye, the Jingzhou Navy!"

Liu Bei was shocked and shouted: "General Zhongye, now Jiangxia is captured by Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun, and Jingzhou is in danger. Why don't you come to Lujiang to help Jiangxia with General Cai?"

Wen Pin ordered the elite soldiers on the boat to step up and shake the sculls, and when they came to the pier, he jumped up with Gan Ning and onto the pier.

Wen Pin said in a seductive voice: "Mr. Returning to Jiangxia to aid Jiangxia, who knew that as soon as the army arrived at Miaoling, they fell into an ambush set by Zhou Yu. They were set on fire by the Xuzhou army and besieged at the foot of Miaoling Mountain. The Jingzhou army suffered heavy casualties, and General Cai Mao was killed by Zhao Yun's silver spear. Out of the [-]-strong army, I was the only one to escape. The rest of the soldiers were either killed in battle or captured by the Xuzhou Army. If General Gan Ning had not rescued him in time, I would have become a dead soul under Zhao Yun's gun... "

Hearing this, Liu Bei felt his eyes go dark, and almost sat on the ground. Not only was Jiang Xia lost, but Zhou Yu even laid a trap for Jiang Xia, defeating Cai Mao and Wenpin's [-] troops in one fell swoop!

200 elite, this is not [-], this is already a quarter of Jingzhou's army strength, once it was wiped out, even Cai Mao was defeated, I really didn't expect that Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun were so powerful, defeated Cai Mao and Wenpin, Zhou Yu is now in full swing, and he has no helpers. He just wants to rely on strong attacks to defeat Zhou Yu and take Jiangxia County. How can it be so easy?

"Trash, trash!"

Liu Pan on the side was already impatient, and shouted angrily: "Wenpin, are you two just food? The [-] army, even if you are in a hurry, don't you know how to guard against other people's ambushes? Sending your whole head to others' knives is stupid, as stupid as a pig!"
