"I can conquer Jiaozhou by land battle! I beg you to go with me!" Guan Yu stood up and said in a deep voice.

His red face was more calm and arrogant.

Zhao Yun then stepped forward, "I can do it too!"

Other generals were not willing to lag behind.

For a while, the voices of people asking for battle in the hall came one after another.

Liu Yu shook his head, "Although this battle sounds huge, with both navy and army."

"But it is to attack a small place like Jiaozhou."

"The territory of the Shi family is vast, but sparsely populated."

"Going to Jiaozhou is more about facing natural conditions rather than enemies."

"Especially miasma."

"You are all strong in martial arts, I know."

"But why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?"

"Your more important task is to train troops in various places in Tanghai."

"Wait for subsequent combat missions."

"Expanding outward is your real battlefield."

Liu Yu's words made the generals who were not selected feel much better.

Guan Yu thought for a moment and stood back to his original position.

Zhao Yun and Ma Chao returned one after another.

Other generals also stood back one after another, and the atmosphere in the whole hall cooled down.

Jia Xu hid among the civil officials and observed, and was impressed by Liu Yu's art of controlling the enemy again.

Being able to make so many peerless generals willingly submit, and not to cause factional conflicts, is simply something that ordinary people can do.

"In addition." Liu Yu continued.

"Although land development depends on force, you should also master various subsequent matters, such as controlling the local area and how to govern it stably."

"I hope you will learn this knowledge when you train in each district."

"You can't just keep your head down and fight in the subsequent development tasks, and turn a deaf ear to other things."

"There will be assessments for all matters other than force."

"Only generals who pass the assessment will have the opportunity to lead troops to develop outward."

"Those who fail the assessment will stay to defend the city."

Liu Yu's tone gradually became stern, and the generals who stayed in the hall made up their minds in their hearts that they must work hard to learn various knowledge.

Strive to pass the subsequent assessment.

If others pass the assessment and you fail, you will be laughed at.

You will be embarrassed to go out and see people in Tanghai in the future.

Like a rat crossing the street, you will be spurned by others.

"The internal affairs department will arrange the relevant matters immediately." Liu Yu continued to order.

"Depart tomorrow."

All departments in Luoyang cooperated with all their strength and prepared to go to Yangzhou for various tasks.

...

Xiangyang City.

In the lobby of the governor's mansion, the teacup in Liu Biao's hand fell to the ground.

Crack!

The crisp sound of precious porcelain breaking echoed in the lobby.

The surprised expression on Liu Biao's face was more obvious than the sound of breaking.

"Both armies were ambushed?"

"How did the big-eared thief know the marching route of my Xiangyang reinforcements?"

"How could he ambush there in advance?"

All kinds of questions emerged in Liu Biao's heart, pulling all his thoughts into thinking about failure.

Traitor.

These two words suddenly appeared in Liu Biao's mind.

Gradually made him suspicious.

The more he thought about it, the more incredible it was.

If Liu Bei really had such strength, how could he have no place to stand in Xuzhou?

How could he be squeezed out by Yuan Shu officials in Yuzhou and have no way out?

Liu Biao felt more and more that there must be officials in Jingzhou who were secretly communicating with Liu Bei.

But he couldn't be sure who they were.

If no one tipped off, how could Liu Bei win so easily?

The two armies, especially the one led by Wen Pin, were all elite soldiers from Xiangyang.

They fought in Jingzhou.

But they were beaten to pieces by the enemy.

Even the reinforcements from Changsha, almost no one escaped.

This surprised him.

He also had to suspect that something went wrong.

"Immediately let Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang come to discuss matters!" Liu Biao ordered.

The county magistrate's mansion became busy, and people who went out to deliver messages kept coming.

Liu Biao stroked his goat beard and thought about it, and finally only kept a few people he trusted.

These people were the ones who took the initiative to contact him when he rode into Jingzhou alone, and they played a significant role in his smooth takeover of Jingzhou.

The local clans must have a great repulsion against these people and him as the governor of the state.

He also set his main target on those people.

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue came in a hurry.

Liu Biao did not directly express what he was thinking.

Instead, he asked the two what to do next.

At this time, another soldier came to report that Changsha City had been breached by Liu Bei.

Before Liu Biao's surprise disappeared from his face, more soldiers came to report.

The three counties of Guiyang, Lingling, and Wuling were all occupied by the Yuzhou army.Break through quickly.

Silence.

You can hear a pin drop in the lobby of the mansion.

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue looked at each other, and both saw surprise on each other's faces.

Liu Biao's face was extremely ugly.

He never thought that Liu Bei would be so powerful.

"Why?" Liu Biao slapped the table hard and was furious.

But anger could not bring him any solution.

"My lord!" Kuai Liang spoke first.

"The most urgent thing at the moment is to stabilize the remaining cities in Jingzhou."

"Whether it is Xiangyang or Jiangling, we must not let the enemy poke our weak spots again."

"Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."

Liu Biao, who was furious, took a few deep breaths and tried his best to calm his turbulent emotions.

He asked in a deep voice: "What should we do?"

Kuai Liang thought for a moment and said: "The military equipment of Yuzhou Army is beyond our imagination."

"Four cities were broken in a row, and two reinforcements of our army were defeated during the period."

"All completed in a short time."

"This shows that the number of soldiers under Liu Bei is definitely not the number we estimated before."

"It is very likely that there are many."

"Moreover, the elite soldiers are far beyond our imagination."

"Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to attack from several directions at the same time."

Liu Biao nodded repeatedly after listening.

This is also what he was confused about.

Help others with your own experience.

He naturally did not think that Liu Bei, who occupied Yuzhou in a short time, could raise such a powerful and huge army.

It is impossible for the rich Jingzhou.

Not to mention Yuzhou, which has been plagued by Yuan Shu for a long time.

It is absolutely impossible!

But the reality of the situation made the impossible in his mind be slapped away without a trace.

"Continue." Liu Biao ordered.

"First of all." Kuai Liang continued to suggest: "We should send capable personnel to find out the news of several counties in the southern part of Jingzhou."

"How were those cities lost?"

"How many main soldiers did Liu Bei have?"

"Including Jiangxia, Nanyang, and Yuzhou, all of them should be sent to find out."

"Moreover, at least several waves should be sent to verify the news with each other."

"To get more accurate information."

Liu Biao nodded.

Kuai Liang continued to say: "Secondly, after continuous fighting, our Jingzhou army has been in a state of decline. We must rely on external forces to better eliminate the enemies in the country."

Liu Biao asked: "Which forces should we rely on to stabilize the current situation in Jingzhou?"
