"I didn't see it, I shouldn't be there." Zhang Yun shook his head, he did not see Chu Feng, and Gan Ning and Zhao Fan were mainly in charge of his department.
"My lord, since the Chu army captured Shaxian and occupied Jiangxia, the next most dangerous places are Xiangyang and Jiangling. Xiangyang is the gate of Jingzhou, but Jiangling is the state government."
"Don't lose both of them! Now that the Han River is guarded by General Zhang's soldiers and horses, and Chu Feng can't get through for a short time, the last general thinks that he should send troops to Jiangling immediately."
Kuai Liang said hastily.
He didn't want to change the boss at this time. As the boss, Chu Feng definitely didn't take care of the Kuai family as well as Liu Biao. At this time, Kuai Liang naturally had to do his best.
"That's right, send a message to Jiangling as soon as possible and ask them to strengthen their guard." Another general seconded.
"I'm afraid it's too late!" Yi Ji came out, clasped his fists and said in a deep voice, "My lord, when Zhang Xian is on his mission, he will pass through Jiangling. Because Jiangxia and Changsha are guarded by two lines, Jiangling's defense is lax."
"Now, Huang Zu suddenly surrendered to the Chu army. If I were to command the general of the Chu army, I would definitely let Huang Zu lead the army westward immediately and seize the city of Jiangling."
"Thinking about it, Jiangling's guard is not aware of the situation, so he will definitely let him enter the city. I am afraid that Jiangling City has already fallen into the hands of the Chu army, and our troops fighting in Changsha may not be able to withdraw."
Yiji's words are concise and to the point.
"This!" At this remark, the audience was in an uproar.
Everyone listened to Yi Ji's analysis and thought his analysis was reasonable. Jiangling was not prepared before. After all, there was Jiangxia Huangzu on the eastern front and various generals on the southern front.
Looking at it this way, the Chu army has already penetrated deep into the hinterland?
Xiangyang is four to five hundred miles away from Jiangling. At that time, Chu Feng only needs to send people to take Xiangyang directly. I'm afraid.
Thinking of this, Liu Biao turned pale. How could this be so, and said immediately, "Yi Ji, what do you want? What should our army do now?"
"My lord, now that Jiang Xia is lost and Huang Zu has surrendered, the worst-case scenario is that Jiangling has changed hands. We might as well make two-handed preparations."
"First, Jiangling is not lost, and the general will immediately take over the defense of Jiangling City, and stand ready."
"Secondly, if Jiangling is lost, we should immediately organize the surrounding forces to take back Jiangling. Jiangling is the hinterland of our army. We must chase it away, otherwise Jingzhou will be in trouble."
Yiji's analysis is quite logical.
"Well said, who should be sent to take over Jiangling, or command the surrounding soldiers to take back Jiangling?" Liu Biao asked hastily. In Liu Biao's view, Jingzhou's talents are withered.
"The Chu army is as fierce as wolves and has tens of thousands of soldiers. It must be a highly respected general. I don't know General Cai." Yi Ji cupped his fists to point out.
For a moment, everyone looked at Cai Mao.
He is the one with the highest official position in Jingzhou, and he is also the one with the greatest military power, so he is the only one who is most suitable.
"The safety of Xiangyang is equally important. I will be responsible for defending Xiangyang in the end. As for Jiangling, my lord needs to find someone else." Naturally, Cai Mao was unwilling to go.
Although he has enough rights, he doesn't want to die.
However, when he heard him say this, the corners of Yiji's mouth curled up obviously, but few people noticed it, and all of this was within his expectation.
"My lord, since General Cai refuses to allow it, there is another candidate. This person is no worse than anyone else in terms of qualifications, and his ability to lead troops to fight is not bad."
"The most important thing is that this person has blood feud with Chu Feng, so he can definitely be trusted." Yi Ji bowed and said with a light smile.
"You mean?" Liu Biao was stunned.
"Liu Bei, Liu Xuande. This person is a clan member of the Han family. He is of the same lineage as the lord. He also regards himself as benevolent and virtuous. He is admired by scholars all over the world. The most important thing is that this person has a sworn feud with Chu Feng."
Yi Ji clang introduced.
He has visited Liu Bei many times, and believes that this person is definitely not a person who has been depressed for a long time. In history, he also took the initiative to vote for Liu Bei and was used by Liu Bei.
"This"
In the general's mansion, all civil and military officials hesitated.
Liu Bei and the others knew so much, and some wanted to refute, but when they thought that if Liu Bei couldn't go, let them go, they wouldn't be able to carry it, so it's better to let him go!
"My lord, the pawns under General Liu have trained for many days, and they are worthy of a battle." Yi Ji added fuel to the flames.
"Do you have any objections?" Liu Biao looked at the crowd and asked.
For a while, everyone acquiesced. Although Liu Bei was not liked by others, it was a good thing that Liu Bei could come in at a critical moment.
"Since you all have no objections, then let Liu Bei be the general who will attack Chu Feng. Come, and immediately go to Xinye to summon Liu Bei as his general."
"Leading [-] troops, combined with [-] front-line soldiers and horses, a total of [-] troops, defending or recapturing Jiangling." Liu Biao said loudly, giving Liu Bei all hope.
The biggest benefit for him is that this person has the hatred of taking his wife and killing his brother with Chu Feng, so it is impossible for him to surrender to Chu Feng, he can only fight to the end.
"No!" The personal guard agreed and retreated immediately.
"My lord, the general thinks that although Liu Bei has both ability and political integrity, there are many dissatisfied in the army. He should send a general to accompany him, and pretend to be with him to subdue the army."
Yiji is obviously favoring Liu Bei.
"Sure!" Liu Biao nodded, as long as he could win the battle, he didn't care about these things anymore.
"In addition, although Liu Bei is in charge of [-] troops, he is not necessarily Chu Feng's opponent. I beg for your order to secondly investigate Zhang Xian and negotiate with him to send troops to help."
"Work together and drive Chu Feng out together." Yi Ji said in a deep voice with an excited expression.
"Can it be done? After all, Zhang Xian is also a deadly enemy with our army!" Liu Biao raised his eyebrows, somewhat worried.
"You have to try to see if you can succeed. What's more, there is no absolute enemy in the world. If our army is destroyed, Zhang Xian will not be far from death. He understands this truth."
Yi Ji spoke very solemnly.
All civil and military officials nodded in unison. Yi Ji is right. At this moment, if you can get more power, you can get more power. It is necessary to negotiate with Zhang Xian.
"Okay, be careful all the way!" Liu Biao reminded, "Do you have other important matters? If not, go down and make arrangements immediately. In addition, Xiangyang is urgently mobilizing, recruiting new soldiers, and hoarding supplies."
"Promise!" All civil and military personnel agreed together.
----
Jian'an four years, early October.
In October, it officially entered the early winter season, the weather began to turn cold, and the people who came and went added a few more clothes.
Nanyang, the boundary of Xinye.
Nanyang was originally the imperial capital and the largest county in the world. The population of a county is comparable to that of other people's states. However, due to repeated wars and rampant plagues, the population of Nanyang has dropped sharply.
There are only one or two out of ten of that year.
In Xinye City, the city is small and the land is sparse, and a few people are in a hurry.
And Liu Bei has been here for a while, and he has gone from having no soldiers to now [-] infantry. Although they are recruits, Guan Yu's training is not ordinary, and he has some combat power.
"My lord, I'm overjoyed, overjoyed!" Jian Yong showed joy and rushed over with great interest.
Liu Bei was processing the paperwork. For the past half a year, he had done everything himself, and he had stabilized the refugees from the surrounding counties.
"Why do you like it?" Liu Beifa asked.
"My lord, there is news from Jingzhou that you are going to be in command, my lord, to command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and to compete with Chu Feng and Jiangling." Jian Yong said excitedly.
"What did you say? Take command and set off?"
Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, and stood up directly.
"Really, the paperwork has been delivered." Jian Yong said, and handed over the paperwork. It was impressively written on it that Liu Bei should come to command the battle.
"Haha, good, good!"
Liu Bei was overjoyed and almost burst into tears. After a long time, he finally had a chance to fight Chu Feng again. This time he must kill Chu Feng to avenge his revenge.
Next to him, a scribe raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "My lord, Liu Biao suddenly asked you to go out in command. I'm afraid something happened in Jingzhou."
"If my guess is correct, the Chu army is likely to take Jiangxia, and even Jiangling is already under the control of the Chu army. This battle may not be easy."
Liu Bei became serious in an instant, looked at the scholar and said in a deep voice, "Yuan Zhi, what do you think?"
"My lord, dangers and opportunities exist side by side. My lord is going up to take over this battle, but if you give me the post of princess coach, if you fight well, you won't have a chance."
"Take a step back, even if the fight is not good, the lord can take this opportunity to recruit talented people. Even if Jingzhou changes, the lord can go to Yizhou."
Xu Shu cupped his fists and said in a low voice.
"Is that a fight?" Liu Bei asked.
"Of course, regardless of victory or defeat, this battle is extremely beneficial to the Lord!" Xu Shu nodded in affirmation.
"Is there any chance of winning?" Liu Bei asked.
"I don't know yet, but it should be a few percent." Xu Shu replied.
"The order is that the three armies will light the fire at the third shift tomorrow, and leave the city at the fourth shift to go straight to Xiangyang. This battle must be won." Liu Bei shouted confidently.

Chapter 265 Moved westward to Guanzhong, Lu Xun planned to take Xiangyang
=========================================
Chapter 265 Moved westward to Guanzhong, Lu Xun planned to take Xiangyang
Guandu, inside Cao Ying.
Cao Cao looked at the letter from Jingzhou, and his originally happy face darkened instantly. He was happy because of Xu Huang's successful sneak attack on Yuan Shao's army.
In a blink of an eye, bad news came from Jingzhou.
"My lord, what happened in Jingzhou?" Guo Jia asked with a frown.
"That idiot Liu Biao, with an army of [-], allowed the Chu army to occupy Jiangxia so easily. It's really stupid!" Cao Cao said angrily, crumbling the letter into a ball.
"Jiang Xia is lost?" Guo Jia was surprised.
Cao Cao had a gloomy face and did not speak.
Although Chu Feng is now the great general of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao knew that this would be his greatest opponent, even surpassing Yuan Shao in front of him. The faster Chu Feng developed, the more panicked he would be.
"My lord, Liu Biao in Jingzhou is old and his military power has fallen to the side. Although he has an army of [-], he can't wield it like an arm. What's more, Jingzhou's soldiers and horses have been scattered for a long time, and they are definitely no match for the Chu army."
"I'm worried, Jingzhou Liu Biao can't bear the pressure! After all, Chu Feng is a descendant of the Yuan family, four generations and three princes, so Liu Biao can hardly stop the Chu army's offensive."
Guo Jia frowned and said solemnly.
"Is there a countermeasure?" Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.
"No, our army's main task at the moment is to repel Yuan Shao, and we don't have the energy to control Chu Feng, nor dare we force it." Guo Jia said helplessly as he waved his hand.
"My lord, our army needs to deploy defenses in advance. I'm afraid it will be too late!" Xun You narrowed his eyes, his eyes were serious, it was worry.
"What do you mean by that?" Cao Cao asked.
"My lord, before our army repelled Yuan Shao, the Chu army needed to send troops from Hefei, and it would take hundreds of miles. In this way, our army still has room to maneuver so that we will not be completely defeated."
"But if Chu Feng wins Jingzhou, then Xu will be under his blade, and there will be no danger to rely on. At that time, even if our army defeats Yuan Shao, it will only be a wedding dress for Chu Feng."
Xun You bowed and said in a deep voice.
Cao Cao nodded vigilantly. Nanyang is too close to Xudu. If Chu Feng really takes Jingzhou, he will be within his attack range.
You know, Chu Feng is not Liu Biao.
Chu Feng's ambition is in the world, and Liu Biao is a follower of success.
"What do you think?" Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.
"Move the capital!" Xun You shouted loudly.
"Although Xudu has developed a high wall and a thick wall after several years, how can we talk about safety under the enemy's front?"
"Move the capital? Where to move?" Cao Cao frowned.
"Guanzhong, there is the old capital Chang'an in Guanzhong, and there are countless good fields in Guanzhong, which can support millions of people. Now in October, the order to relocate some of them is ordered at this moment, so that spring plowing can be done in Guanzhong next year."
"And there are several advantages to this relocation," he said.
"First, Guanzhong is surrounded by four passes, and there is no way for the Chu army to rush in. On the contrary, Wuguan can lead to Nanyang, and Hangu Pass can lead to the Central Plains. You can advance, attack, retreat, or defend!"
"Secondly, in the west of Guanzhong, you can take Liangzhou, which has the strongest cavalry. In the south, you can take Hanzhong and Yizhou, and enjoy the land of abundance. You can also advance, attack, retreat, or defend."
"Thirdly, if our army wins this battle, we can defend Chu Feng and Xuchang, pacify Hebei, dispatch and Luoyang, and then attack Chu Feng with the power of the world. If we lose, we won't be completely defeated!"
Xun You said in a deep voice.
He had already planned this matter, but before Chu Feng only had Yangzhou, the threat was not great, but if Jingzhou was really lost, it would be too late to move the capital.
Cao Cao pondered in his heart, hesitantly said: "Gongda, although this plan is good, but now we are in a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, will moving people from the rear at this moment shake the morale of the army?"
"It's inevitable!"
