After the celebration, Liu Bei did not indulge.

Instead, he raised a more high-spirited attitude and entered the work of governing the four counties in the southern part of Jingzhou.

He worked hard every day, as if he was living the last day of his life.

Under his governance, the lives of the poor people changed dramatically in an instant.

The land was distributed to every household, giving the people new hope.

Liu Bei made a call, and the people of the four counties all wanted to join the Yuzhou Army.

In a short period of time, Liu Bei pulled up a larger team.

According to Pang Tong's suggestion, internal potential was tapped.

Assessment was conducted among the young and strong in each county.

Young and flexible minds were selected for training.

Although the time was short, it had a good effect.

These people all achieved new life changes in Liu Bei's various decrees and were loyal to Liu Bei.

With these people controlling the army, there would never be rebellion or surrender to others.

The army is strong and the soldiers are loyal.

Everything is going in the best direction.

Liu Bei worked hard every day, full of confidence.

This was his happiest time.

However, happy times are always short-lived.

Liu Bei received news that Yuzhou was attacked by Tang Hai!

The armies from Yanzhou and Xuzhou attacked from both sides, unstoppable.

In the lobby of Changsha Guan Temple, Liu Bei sighed, "Alas!"

But he also knew that according to the current situation in Yuzhou, he was simply unable to protect it.

He could only let Tang Hai take it.

Clenching his fists, Liu Bei's eyes became extremely firm.

"One day, I will defend my territory!"

"Make the Tang Hai army collapse!"

"Never dare to provoke again!"

The resounding words echoed in the lobby of Guan Temple.

Wei Yan and a group of generals were excited.

Pang Tong took the lead in applauding, and the whole hall was filled with thunderous applause in an instant.

But Pang Tong shook his head repeatedly in his heart.

Want to stop Tang Hai?

I'm afraid I'm thinking too much.

Tang Hai's strength is beyond the imagination of these people who have never seen the world.

"Lord!" Pang Tong stood up and suggested respectfully.

"The time is ripe, we must quickly take the remaining Jiangling and Xiangyang in Jingzhou."

Liu Bei nodded, his eyes full of determination again, "Okay!"

The generals in the hall were ready to fight, and couldn't wait to join the battle.

"Lord." Pang Tong continued to suggest.

"When we attack the remaining two cities in Jingzhou, we must also beware of the conspiracy in Xiangyang."

"Oh?" Liu Bei looked strange.

"Conspiracy?"

"Where does it come from?"

The generals in the hall were also very concerned.

Pang Tong talked freely, "Of course it is Jiaozhou further south."

"If Xiangyang wants to defeat us, it must do its best."

"Being attacked from both sides is the best choice."

Liu Bei nodded.

After Pang Tong said this, he felt that if he were Liu Biao, he would do the same.

As for whether he could persuade Jiaozhou to send troops.

As long as Liu Biao promised huge benefits, Jiaozhou would have no reason to send troops.

"Then what should we do?" Liu Bei pulled himself out of his thoughts and continued to ask.

The eyes of the generals in the hall fell on Pang Tong.

"Jiaozhou will definitely send troops, but they will definitely not fight desperately." Pang Tong analyzed.

"Jiaozhou is somewhat similar to Jingzhou."

"Both governors want to secede and have no idea of ​​opening up."

"Maintaining the status quo is the best choice."

"Although the Jiaozhou army came, they must be told to act according to circumstances."

"As long as the lord sends two capable generals to defend the two cities of Guiyang and Lingling."

"Defeat the Jiaozhou army's tentative attack, and the rear will be stable."

"The Jiaozhou army will not dare to cross the two cities to attack Changsha and Wuling."

Liu Bei nodded, thinking in his heart which two generals to leave to defend the city.

Pang Tong continued, "In addition, when the Jiaozhou army arrives, you can order the generals guarding the city to spread the news."

"It is said that the Tang navy set out from the sea and attacked the rear of Jiaozhou."

"The Jiaozhou army must be eager to return."

Liu Bei nodded repeatedly, "Just do as the military advisor said!"

"Come here, gather the army immediately, raise supplies, and prepare to attack Jiangling and Xiangyang in the north!"

"In addition..."

Liu Bei stood up and looked around in the hall.

Finally, his eyes locked on Liao Hua and Zang Ba.

"Liao Hua guards Lingling, and Zang Ba guards Guiyang."

Liu Bei ordered.

"Have you remembered what the military advisor said just now?"

Liao Hua and Zang Ba stepped forward and shouted, "I will remember it!"

The loud voice echoed in the hall, "We will make sure that the Jiaozhou army will never return."

"Use the military advisor's plan to make the Jiaozhou army lose their fighting spirit!"

Liu Bei, who had arranged everything, ordered everyone to get busy, and the four counties of Jingzhou entered a tense situation.in preparation for war.

Jiaozhou.

The seat of government is Panyu City.

In the lobby of the official temple, Shi Xie received a handwritten letter from Liu Biao.

After reading it carefully three times, Shi Xie narrowed his eyes and pondered the pros and cons.

The letter from Jingzhou was circulated in the lobby.

Shi Yi's eyes lit up after reading it.

As Shi Xie's younger brother, he chose to defend the status quo differently from the other party.

Young people prefer to explore.

In this chaotic world, naturally, he wanted to make some achievements in his heart.

"Brother!"

Shi Xie did not say anything, and Shi Yi could not bear it and spoke first.

Shi Xie immediately raised his hand to interrupt the other party's speech, "I have my own considerations."

After some thought, Shi Xie, who was seeking stability, decided to send troops.

Liu Biao has never had the intention to go south.

With such separatist forces in Jingzhou, Jiaozhou is worry-free.

Moreover, Liu Biao could also defend him against the vassal states from further north.

Kill two birds with one stone.

But that Liu Bei was different.

He had also heard about what he had done in Jingzhou.

More importantly, Liu Bei's super aggressiveness made him feel deeply uneasy.

If Liu Bei occupied Jiaozhou, according to the current situation in the world.

There were only two choices to expand the territory again.

Go west to Yizhou and go south to Jiaozhou.

It was obvious which of the two choices was right.

Jiaozhou was definitely a place that aggressive people must seize.

Although there was miasma here and the living environment was not good.

But the climate was very suitable for farming, and it was normal to have two or three crops a year.

A radical person like Liu Bei would definitely bring the war to Jiaozhou.

At that time, even if it was defended, Jiaozhou would inevitably suffer a great loss of strength.

If the natives in the state were incited again, the situation would definitely be unfavorable.

"Send troops."

Short words expressed a firm attitude. Shi Xie looked at his younger brother beside him, "As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, lead the soldiers of Jiaozhou to the north to help Jingzhou."

"But..."

He stretched out a long tone to suppress the excitement on the other's face.

"Remember, although we are going to the alliance to fight against Liu Bei of Yuzhou."

"But we must preserve the strength of Jiaozhou as much as possible."

"Don't be impulsive and confront the other party head-on."

"The most important thing about Jingzhou is how Liu Biao will act."

"We are just putting pressure on Liu Bei in the southern part of Jingzhou."

"Whenever you find that Liu Bei's army is strong, you will lead the army to retreat and wait for subsequent changes."

"If the two cities of Guiyang and Lingling are empty, you will lead the army to attack and take the two cities."
