The news of Cao Ren's appointment as the prefect of Jiujiang spread to all states in the world as if he had grown wings.

Xiaopei was the closest to Xuchang, so Liu Bei was naturally the prince who got the news the soonest.

"Haha, second brother, third brother, come and see."

Guan and Zhang gathered together and circulated the letters in Liu Bei's hands one by one.

"This Cao Cao is really stunned. He can treat outsiders like a bowl of water, but he is so cruel to his nephew." Zhang Fei's big copper bell-like eyes showed a puzzled look.

"It's called being an upright official who can't handle housework. Cao Anmin is just too good to make Cao Cao feel threatened."

Zhang Fei shook his head, full of puzzlement.The nephew is outstanding, logically, as an uncle, he should be happy, how can he say there is any jealousy, he is really playing the piano indiscriminately.

"Brother, Lu Bu is aggressive towards us right now, so we can only turn to Cao Cao for help." Guan Yu spoke lightly with his beard twirling.

"Now is the right time. Cao Cao lost Cao Anmin's arm. There will be a decline in the military. Let us help him. If he can defeat Lu Bu, he will find another opportunity to plot Xuzhou." Liu Bei's eyes sparkled with excitement look.

Although Xuzhou is the place where the Four World Wars were fought, I have worked here for a long time, and my basic contacts are all here. As long as I can find a chance, I will be able to regroup and rely on Xuzhou to achieve great things.

Moling, after Cao Anmin's disturbance in Jiangdong, under the suggestion of Zhang Zhao, Lusu and others, Sun Ce moved the original government from Wujun to Molin, and renamed it Jianye, which means making contributions.

When Cao Ren took office, how could Sun Ce, an old opponent, not know.For this reason, he specially ordered the mansion to hold a banquet for three days.

Before, they took the old man Qiao as a hostage, and originally wanted Da Qiao to serve as an internal response, waiting for an opportunity to attack Jiujiang.Unexpectedly, Da Qiao refused to cooperate, and ordered the Jiujiang army to heavily attack Chen Bian, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were also very nervous.

Now that Cao Ren has taken over, the frontier army has quickly withdrawn. According to the spies, the Jiujiang Shipyard, which is in full swing, has also calmed down.

Self-destruction of the Great Wall, this is Sun Ce's evaluation of Cao Cao's stupid move.But it was precisely because he had this idea that he gave himself an opportunity to take advantage of it.

In the study, Sun Ce hurriedly called Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao to discuss matters.

"Gongjin, Zibu, Cao Anmin is now on hold. Although Cao Ren is also a famous general of the Cao family, he just came to Jiujiang and didn't know the situation here. The people in Jiujiang are panicked and the army is unstable. This is the best time for us to capture Jiujiang. I think The army took advantage of this opportunity to quickly cross the river and attack Jiujiang in a flash."

Zhang Zhao cupped his hands and said, "Before I came, I had purchased [-] stones of food and grass from the aristocratic family, enough to maintain the supply of the army."

Sun Ce nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Zhou Yu: "What does Gong Jin mean?"

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said, "Since the last war, Jiujiang's strength has been superior to our army. Whether it is cavalry or navy, our army is weaker than the enemy. If you want to sneak attack, you have to be careful of the enemy's navy. Attack. In my opinion, the navy took the water by surprise and first destroyed the warships of the Jiujiang Navy, destroyed its foundation, and controlled the waterway of the Yangtze River."

Sun Ce slapped the table suddenly, his eyes were full of excitement and said: "Okay, according to Gongjin's intention, send [-] troops to attack Jiujiang in three days."

"promise!"

In Zhennan General's Mansion, Liu Biao was lying on the bed, his face was full of excitement.Such a demeanor caused the eldest son Liu Qi next to him to be slightly surprised.

"Father, what news makes you so happy."

"Haha, Cao Anmin has been dismissed, and our Jingzhou is finally missing a big threat."

"Father, since Cao Anmin is gone, why don't we cross the river and take the land of Jiujiang?"

A gleam of light flashed before Liu Biao's eyes. As the princes in charge of the nine counties of Jingxiang, how could he fail to grasp such an obvious opportunity.

"Go and invite me for General Wenpin."

"As ordered!"

After the first battle in Wancheng, Wenpin succeeded Cai Mao and took charge of all the infantry in Jingzhou. It can be said that he was the hottest person in Jingzhou.After Wenpin took office, he quickly gathered the remnant army and stabilized his position in the shortest time.

Liu Qi invites each other, and Wenpin comes quickly.

"Lord!"

"Zhongye, sit down quickly."

The biggest difference between Wenpin and Cai Mao is that this person has a clean identity. Although Cai Mao was promoted, he has nothing to do with the aristocratic family. It is for this reason that Liu Biao has the heart to support him.

Since the defeat of Wancheng, Liu Biao has always wanted to eradicate the Jingzhou army. Unfortunately, the obstruction of the four great families forced him to delegate power to Huang Zu, increasing the opponent's power.But in order to control the general power in his hands, he also supported Wenpin and gave him the command of all infantry to compete with Huang Zu to maintain balance.

Liu Biao quickly told Wenpin all his thoughts.

Wenpin thought for a moment, and directly explained with the map: "If you want to take Jiujiang, you must cooperate with the two armies by water."

"Oh?"

"My lord does not know that there were more than 4 troops stationed in Jiujiang before. Apart from the navy, there were 3 cavalry. The [-] cavalry were distributed in the counties around Shouchun. If you want to defeat the enemy, you must First attack Liyang Fuling by detour from Chaohu Lake, wipe out the enemy's navy, and then quickly advance slowly. As long as our waterways are continuous, we can attack when we advance, and we can retreat if we retreat, then we can remain invincible."

Although Liu Biao has no military knowledge, he believes that Wenpin is by no means a sack like Cai Mao.

If you want to map Jiujiang, you must mobilize all the navy.

The Jingzhou navy had all been defeated by Cao Anmin before, and now the only navy is also in the hands of Huang Zu.From this point of view, if you want to get Jiujiang, you must hire Huang Zu to join forces.

"Okay, I'll write a letter to Huang Zu immediately, asking him to mobilize the navy to fight together."

Wenpin continued: "If we want to win Jiujiang, we must have gains and losses. In the end, I will suggest that the Lord send an envoy across the river to repair Jiangdong, and the two families will attack together."

Speaking of Jiangdong, Liu Biao frowned slightly.

Before, I took advantage of the battle between Cao and Sun and swallowed most of the six counties in Jiangdong in one go. Unfortunately, in the end, Cai Mao, a stupid pig, lost his position and could only lose most of the fat he got.

Now only the two counties of Luling and Lujiang are in their hands. If they want to unite with Jiangdong, it may be difficult to lure them into the bait with ordinary bait.

"Since this is the case, we can only let Yi cross the river for a while. It's just that Luling County was given to Jiangdong in this way, isn't it a bit of a loss?"

Wenpin lowered his head and continued: "If you want to achieve great things, you must have gains and losses. Although Luling is large, it is sparsely populated, full of miasma, and there are too many people from Shanyue. Occupying this place will not help the lord's great cause, on the contrary. It will become a burden. Jiujiang is different, as long as we capture Jiujiang, even if we only get half of its population, it will be far better than Luling."

Liu Biao nodded and said, "According to what Zhongye said, the army is ready to attack Jiujiang at any time."

Chapter 126

In Shouchun City, looking at the flag of Cao's family fluttering above the city, I was deeply moved.

This Jiujiang is not only like his own home, but more like his own child. He was pulled up by himself, but in the end, he no longer belongs to him.

"My lord, General Zixiao came out of the city to welcome you." Yao Guangxiao held a Buddhist bead with a mysterious smile on his face.

Cao Anmin secretly sighed, it is a blessing that cannot be escaped, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.

"Go, enter the city."

Cao Anmin was not the only one who was troubled, Cao Ren was also very troubled at the gate of the city.

Now, he is sandwiched between Cao Cao and Cao Anmin, in an awkward situation, in a dilemma.

"General, we'd better play it safe later, and don't hurt your peace."

"Yes, General!"
