The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 239
Liu Pan took Wenpin down, and first settled down more than a thousand remnants of the army, but Liu Bei asked Zhang Fei to wait outside the door, and walked into the inner house with Guan Yu, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu.

"Mr. Shi Yuan, now that the two armies are at war, Liu Xiao is cunning and has a lot of capable people under his command. We have repeatedly failed in battles, Huainan fell, Jiangxia fell, Jiangdong battlefield, host and guest change positions, please Shi Yuanyou to teach me! "

Just after entering the inner room, Liu Bei asked Pang Tong and Xu Shu to sit down, and immediately bowed to the ground and said anxiously.

To be so respected by Xu Shu, if it is said that Pang Tong has no real talent and learning, he would not believe it even if he killed Liu Bei. After all, Xu Shu is also arrogant and has no ability, how can he be so respected by Xu Shu?
Pang Tong frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Shijun, I have already heard about the battle ahead on the way to Lujiang. I rashly chose the six counties of Jiangdong as the foundation. It is not a good strategy. Although Jiangdong has the danger of mountains and rivers to protect it, Jiangdong is sparsely populated, and most of the people in the mountains are uncivilized. What's more, this Liu Xiao has always been eyeing Jiangdong covetously, and has already regarded Jiangdong as something in his pocket, so that the king will face the strongest Liu Xiao as soon as he comes up. Even if he wins the six counties of Jiangdong, he will be defeated It's impossible for Liu Xiao to recuperate. Liu Xiao has three states and can afford it, but the lord can't afford it..."

With tears streaming down Liu Bei's eyes, he sobbed, "Sir, please have mercy on the millions of people in the south of the Yangtze River. Swordsmen are everywhere, and people are dying. Please teach me..."

Pang Tong said helplessly: "My lord, don't act like a little girl. Although Liu Xiao is powerful now, it is not incomprehensible..."

Liu Bei hurriedly asked: "Please Shi Yuan teach me!"

Pang Tong pondered: "Although Liu Xiao is powerful, in Jizhou, there is Lu Bu as a neighbor, and in Qingzhou, there is Cao Cao as a companion. The two of them are eyeing the three prefectures of Qing, Hebei and Henan. There is Yue Fei guarding Jizhou and other idlers. Grasp Jizhou, which can be threatened; but Yuzhou is different. Now Yuzhou is a land without owner, and Cao Cao has been interested in Yuzhou for a long time! The envoy can write a book with Liu Jingsheng, persuade Liu Jingsheng to submit to the imperial court, and is willing to accept the imperial court's restraint, so as to ask Cao Cao to send troops Yuzhou, after taking Yuzhou, the soldiers threatened the border between Qingzhou and Xuzhou. Once the two counties of Chengyang and Langya were also attacked by Cao Cao, the connection between Qingzhou of Jizhou and Jiangdong of Xuzhou would be completely cut off, and Liu Xiao would never sit idly by. If you ignore it, you will definitely lead the army northward, and the siege between Jiangdong and Jingzhou will be resolved!"

Xu Shu frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Shiyuan, although this plan is clever, it's hard to solve the fire near the water, right? Now Liu Xiao has occupied Jiangxia, cut off the connection between Lujiang and Jingzhou, and uses Jiangxia as a springboard to attack at any time It can threaten the hinterland of the nine counties of Jingxiang, right now, we are already unable to support..."

Pang Tong said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi, this statement is wrong. Now Liu Xiao is fighting with the envoy over Lujiang, or Jiangdong. He doesn't have enough strength in the short term. After taking Jiangdong, he will also take Jingjing." Xiangjiu County, and the six Jiangdong counties have a vast territory, and there is even Jiaozhou behind, which gave us enough time and space to move around. Even, we can abandon the Jiangdong six counties and directly lead the main force of the army back to Jingzhou. Going back to Jiangxia, Liu Jingsheng is just the master of success, and his children and grandchildren can't even defend Chengdu, just need to win people's hearts in Jingzhou, make good friends with the big families, find a chance, and take Jingzhou as their own!"

Liu Bei's face changed slightly. It's not that he didn't think about finding an opportunity to grab Liu Biao's seat, but Liu Biao is very popular in Jingzhou.

"Yuanzhi, Jingsheng has been in Jingzhou for more than ten years. He has managed Jingzhou in an orderly manner. He does not pick up things on the road and does not close his doors at night. He has a very high reputation. If I try to take Jingzhou by force, I am afraid that I will be ridiculed by the world. Besides, Jingsheng's old department will not Will agree..."

Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

Pang Tong shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Liu Biao is now over sixty years old and his health is not as good as before. The eldest son Liu Qi does not like Liu Biao, and the second son Liu Cong is young and ignorant. Once Liu Biao dies, the two will quarrel, and Liu Biao will be dead. After all, wouldn't it be easy to capture Jingzhou? The plan for now is not to fight to the death with Liu Xiao to protect Jiangdong and take back Jiangxia, but to force Liu Xiao to withdraw his troops. As long as he withdraws his troops back to the Central Plains and secures the entire Jiangnan, no one can He is the opponent of Shijun. He first takes Jingzhou and then Jiangdong. The land rich in the two states and the natural chasm of the Yangtze River are enough to compete with the Central Plains! Therefore, the only way to surrender to the imperial court is to persuade Cao Cao to send troops to Yuzhou and threaten Liu Xiao's retreat. The key to reversing the current war situation. As for Liu Xiao's army, although it is strong, how can it capture the entire Jiangdong within ten days and a half? We only need to hold on and protect the Yangtze River behind us. Military resources are allocated from Changsha, Henan The first-line supply of Zhang and Danyang is enough to ensure that we are invincible within three months! As for Cao Cao's sending troops to Yuzhou, it will take so long. Once Cao Cao agrees, it will take at most one month to enter Yuzhou and threaten him. Shanyang County and Langya County!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Xu Shu to write a book on his behalf, and ordered someone to send it to Jingzhou. As for Lujiang, he must not give up now. Here, he will confront Liu Xiao and see how Liu Xiao can defeat him!

Liu Bei made up his mind. With the current strength of Liu Bei and Liu Pan, there are a total of 7 troops, which can completely withstand Liu Xiao's attack. Even if Gao Chong and Guo Jia's troops go south to meet Liu Xiao and face Liu Bei, Still at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

Liu Xiao really didn't expect that Liu Bei, a kid, was really lucky. The good news came one after another. First, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong rushed to help, and now there is another Pang Tong who has a long history, occupying Lujiang County, and the entire camp is extremely strict. Even if Liu Xiao launched a field attack, he could not capture Liu Bei.

After all, they have a strong military force, even more powerful than Liu Xiao.

The two sides stayed outside the Lujiang city for half a month, and the two sides fought seven or eight times, neither winning nor losing. Even if Gao Chong had already come to the city of Lujiang, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, who were like Xiaoqiang, still couldn't help it!
Liu Xiao couldn't win the Lujiang River in a short time, but at the same time, Liu Biao got Liu Bei's letter, Liu Biao was going crazy now, why did he follow Liu Xiao through this muddy water?Now it's really stuck, and I can't get rid of it, but even Jiangxia is lost, and all the main force of Jingzhou has fallen into the hands of Liu Bei, so he still doesn't want to take back Jiangxia County. But Jingzhou's gateway! !
Liu Bei nodded again and again, and said in a deep voice: "
