The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 416
Both Pang Tong and Liu Bei thought that Jiangdong was about to be lost, and Jiaozhou was definitely not a good place to live. It was too poor and remote. The population of Jiaozhou was not even a little more than that of Nanyang County. They wanted to preserve the capital for a comeback With the foundation, then Jingzhou must be kept. Taking advantage of the fact that there are still some troops in hand, hurry up and retreat to Jingzhou, deploy troops at various key points in Jingzhou, and defend Jingzhou to the utmost. This is the current top priority.

As for the Moling Ferry, Liu Xiao's troops who have entered Jiangdong now even have more than 7 troops. It is meaningless to defend Moling to the death.

It's just that Jingzhou doesn't need to be a prefecture. This is a piece of fat. The nine counties of Jingxiang are one of the states and counties that have suffered the least amount of war. With a population of millions, which side doesn't covet him?Now that Liu Bei and Liu Xiao are fighting, they are defeated by Liu Xiao. The elites of Jingzhou and Jiangdong Prefectures are all defeated by Liu Xiao's army, and it is already sunset.

Since Liu Bei is already dead, then if he doesn't take advantage of the fire at this time, when will he have to wait?
Cao Cao was the first to do it.

Originally, Cao Cao wanted to send troops to Qingzhou to force Liu Xiao to retreat, but Zhuge Liang led more than [-] troops in Jizhou and Qingzhou, and kept a close eye on Cao Cao. Not to mention forcing Liu Xiao to retreat, even if he defeated Cao Cao, Cao Cao would not be able to. Absolutely sure, if Zhuge Liang cannot be defeated, once Liu Xiao returns to the teacher, then he will really sit on the wax, Liu Bei's siege will be relieved, and he will definitely fall into a dead end.

Facing the siege of Liu Xiao, Zhuge Liang and Yue Fei, the three major military commanders, unless he has three heads and six arms, he will surely die!

But if you don't rush to help Liu Bei, once Liu Xiao completely defeats Liu Bei, then Liu Xiao's next target must be himself. Two of them fell into Liu Xiao's hands, how could he contend with him?

The only chance lies in Jingzhou!

Cao Cao set his sights on Jingzhou. Now Liu Xiao is fighting Liu Bei in Jiangdong. In a short period of time, he has no time to take care of the situation in Jingzhou, let alone Liu Bei. Jiangdong is Liu Bei's foundation. As long as there is a slight chance, he must not Abandoning the six counties in Jiangdong, both of them can't take care of this place now, and it happens that they can benefit from it.

"I'm sorry, brother Xuande, since you can't keep the huge Jingxiang Nine Counties and Jiangdong, why don't you let me keep it for you, hehe..."

Cao Cao sneered secretly in his heart, and said calmly: "The order goes on, Zhang Liao and Jia Xu and Chen Qun will sit in Xudu and Chenliu Commanderies, Le Jin and Cao Zhang will sit in Qiaojun Jiyin, gather [-] troops, Xiong Kuohai will be the vanguard, Yang Jiye will be the left wing, Yu Chigong is on the right wing, Sima Yi is the counselor for military affairs, Xu Chu and Cao Hong are with me in the central army, together with Wu Yunzhao and Li Dian from Nanyang, we will march into Xiangyang and take down the nine counties of Jingxiang along the way!"

Xudu was originally not far from Nanyang County. In the past few months, Li Dian and Wu Yunzhao recruited troops in Nanyang County and Nanjun County. They recruited more than 5 troops in the three counties south of Xudu. There are eighty or ninety thousand troops. Although there are not many elite troops, they are already a force that cannot be ignored.

When Liu Bei and Pang Tong respectively made the decision to go to Jiangxia and retreat to Jingzhou, Cao Cao's troops had already entered Nanyang and arrived at the border of Xiangyang.

Liu Bei had just left Danyang City, throwing off Yue Fei's army, Cao Cao's army had already launched an attack on Xiangyang.

Huang Zhong was shocked when he got the news. Cao Cao led [-] to [-] troops to attack Xiangyang, but all his current troops are less than [-]. How can he be his opponent?
Not only Huang Zhong, but even Yue Yue was anxious like ants on a hot pot.

Now Jingzhou has no soldiers and no generals, and the entire Xiangyang has less than 2 troops, and another [-] troops are deployed in Jiangxia to defend the Yue Fei Department in Huainan County. They dare not mobilize at all, relying on less than [-] troops Just wrestling with Cao Cao's [-] to [-] troops, there is no chance of winning at all!

"Yidu, at this time, let's hand over the private soldiers of your families. The major families in Xiangyang and Jingzhou have collected seven or eight thousand private soldiers. It is absolutely not a problem, and they are all brave and good at fighting. If you have these With the help of the family's private soldiers, maybe we can repel Cao Cao and keep Xiangyang City and even Jingzhou!"

Huang Zhong said in a deep voice.

Yao Yue's heart sank, hand over the family's private soldiers?How can it be!

This is the basis for the survival of the great families in the troubled times. Without the armed forces of these families, the great families are just a display in front of the princes, and they can play with you as they want!So even if Liu Bei moved into Jingzhou, the major families still did not hand over their private soldiers. If they want money, I will give it to you, and if they want food, I will give it to you.

Yue Yue said in a deep voice: "Han Sheng, unless it is absolutely necessary, the family's private soldiers will definitely be handed over. This is the guarantee of our Cai family and other families. Once there are no family private soldiers, our major families will be other people's soldiers." Cutting board meat!"

Huang Zhong asked anxiously: "Yidu, when is it? If we don't work together, Xiangyang City will never be able to defend! Once Xiangyang falls, how can we be worthy of Lord Shijun?"

Yao Yue's face froze, and he said in a muffled voice: "Han Sheng, let me just say it straight. Xiangyang is lost, and the Yao family is still the Yao family, but the Yao family does not have these two thousand private soldiers, so it will take less than two months The score is falling apart! No matter who occupies Jingzhou, it is inseparable from the support of our major families. If you can abide by the rules, if you really can’t keep it, you can surrender at worst. Han Sheng doesn’t have to hang himself on a tree. If you are willing to surrender, I will I don’t mind recommending you strongly in front of Prime Minister Cao. 20 years ago, I traveled to Chang’an and became close friends with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. If you dedicate the land of Jingzhou to Cao Cao, not only the major families in Jingzhou can keep it, but you can also be promoted in Han Dynasty. It is not impossible to confer the title of Marquis in one step, and even the eternal town of Jingzhou!"

"Alien!"

Huang Zhong frowned, and shouted: "I, Huang Zhong, can't do the thing of betraying the Lord and begging for glory! Whether you use private soldiers or not, I will fight Cao Cao to the death to defend Jingzhou for the Lord. I believe that it won't be long before the lord will send an army to help Jingzhou. Now that Cao Cao is also newly defeated and his strength has not recovered, we may not lose to him. If you don't want to fight, I won't force you to hand over the power of Jingzhou , I will stick to it!"

"Han Sheng!"

Yue Yue disdainfully said: "Ask for glory against the Lord? Your lord was not Liu Bei, but Liu Biao! Liu Jingsheng, why did you protect Liu Bei now? Isn't this asking for glory against the Lord?"

amount……

Huang Zhong's face froze. Yes, Liu Biao was in Japan. Although he didn't have any great talents, he was really not mean to the officials and generals at all levels in Jingzhou. Now that he is serving, Liu Bei, what is the reason?
