"But even if the matter is done, we must not rush ahead." Shi Xie continued to explain.
"We must proceed steadily."
"While continuing to put pressure on the Yuzhou army, we must try our best to ensure the strength of our Jiaozhou army."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Looking at his brother beside him with a questioning look, Shi Xie waited for his answer.
"Understood!" Shi Yi patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely win this battle."
"I will never underestimate the enemy and rush ahead."
"While preserving the strength of our Jiaozhou army, take down the two cities of Guiyang and Lingling."
"Let Jiaozhou also expand northward!"
After some discussion, the Jiaozhou army quickly attacked northward.
...
In Xiangyang City, Liu Biao received the news, and he frowned and couldn't believe his ears.
"The three armies of Changsha, Jiangxia, and Wuling are all coming to attack Xiangyang City?"
"A full 100,000 troops?"
"How did Liu Bei gather such a team in such a short time?"
"When we went south from Yuzhou, there were only 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers."
"After a series of battles, the number of soldiers not only did not decrease, but increased significantly?"
"Why is that?"
Bang!
Liu Biao slapped the table hard and vented his anger.
In the hall of the official temple, a group of civil and military officials were silent, and no one dared to speak.
Anger is anger, confusion is confusion.
Liu Biao tried to calm down his emotions, took two deep breaths and looked at Kuai Liang.
"How should Xiangyang respond?"
A low questioning voice sounded in the hall, shaking the ears of every official in Jingzhou.
They knew that this was definitely the biggest crisis in Jingzhou's history.
Most people were thinking about what to do next.
However, they were not thinking about Jingzhou, but more about themselves and their families.
Kuai Liang stood out from the civil officials, thought for a while and replied: "My lord, the Yuzhou army is coming aggressively."
"But the people who were sent to inquire about the news have not returned yet."
"We can't know the strength of the Yuzhou army."
"But according to my subordinates, what magic power does Liu Bei have to gather young and strong people from all over Jingzhou in such a short time?"
"At most, it is to drive them with benefits, or threaten them with their lives."
"But no matter which method, it will not make the people of Jingzhou work wholeheartedly for Liu Bei."
"I think that although the Yuzhou army sounds powerful, it is definitely strong on the outside but weak on the inside."
"The actual combat power is not as terrible as the 100,000-strong army sounds. My Xiangyang army will definitely break it!"
Kuai Liang's words made Liu Biao feel a little relieved.
"Then how should Xiangyang respond specifically?" Liu Biao asked impatiently.
Kuai Liang replied: "Now that the army is approaching, we should gather all the forces in Xiangyang."
"Let's work together to resist the invading Yuzhou army."
"In addition, my lord, send people to Jiangling as soon as possible."
"Let the governor of Jiangling send troops to attack the Yuzhou army's grain road and create chaos in the rear."
"When the news comes, the Yuzhou army will be in chaos."
"When the time comes, my lord will send a general with Xiangyang's elite soldiers, and we can defeat them in one battle!"
Kuai Liang's words not only restored Liu Biao's confidence, but also made the Jingzhou officials in the hall feel much more stable.
Not as frightened as when they just received the attack of 100,000 troops.
"Let's do it!" Liu Biao made a prompt decision, "Quickly send people to Jiangling to pass on the news!"
"In addition, announce the mobilization of the whole city. All adult men have the obligation to defend Xiangyang City."
"Distribute weapons and prepare to resist the Yuzhou bandit army!"
Under Liu Biao's orders, the entire Xiangyang City became busy in an instant.
Not only the officials were nervous, but the people were also nervous.
Although it was rumored that there were many princes in the troubled times, it was no different for the people of Jingzhou who were used to stability.
Life was still what it should be.
Those who were struggling were struggling, and those who were hungry were hungry.
There was no court, but the Jingzhou government still existed.
There were no taxes to be collected.
Ordinary people did not feel any changes caused by the changes in the court.
But now it was completely different.
The war came to them.
It suddenly arrived at their side without even much disturbance.
It made the people of the whole city nervous.
The whole city of Xiangyang was filled with the tension brought by the war, and it was getting more and more intense.
…
In the wilderness, Liu Bei led the Changsha army forward.
The army that joined Wuling City had more than 80,000 soldiers.
And the team was full of young and strong men.
There were no old, weak, sick or disabled people.
After Wei Yan's simple teaching, these Jingzhou soldiers, although new, were able to advance and retreat in moderation.
They looked elite.Extraordinary.
This gave Liu Bei more confidence.
He must conquer Xiangyang.
Fifty miles, twenty miles.
As he got closer to Xiangyang, Liu Bei became more and more eager.
He remembered that he had left Yuzhou before and sincerely wanted to join Liu Biao.
But he was driven to the small town of Xinye by the other party.
Liu Bei still remembers the humiliating behavior clearly.
This time, he wanted to take back his lost dignity.
He wanted to return all the humiliation of others!
The army arrived at the foot of Xiangyang and joined the army from Jiangxia.
Liu Bei had more than 100,000 soldiers.
Looking across the wilderness, the endless black soldiers made Liu Bei feel more heroic.
"One hundred thousand elite soldiers!"
Liu Bei's heroic spirit doubled.
Riding on a warhorse, he stood straight.
He had never been so confident before, and felt that Xiangyang City was within his grasp.
"My lord." Pang Tong drove his horse forward and suggested: "We should stabilize our army first."
"After setting up camp, we will take it slowly."
"Xiangyang City is strong, we can only take it by wits, not by force."
"Otherwise, our army will suffer too many casualties. Although we can take the city, we will also be injured."
Pang Tong's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring on Liu Bei's fiery heart.
"Okay, do as the military advisor says." Liu Bei, who had calmed down, immediately adopted the advice.
"However, how can we take Xiangyang City by wits?"
"Liu Biao has many civil officials under him, and there will always be capable people."
"However, it is not easy to take it by wits?"
Wei Yan's eyes fell on Pang Tong, waiting for his solution.
He really wanted to know what kind of strategy Pang Tong would come up with to disintegrate Jingzhou this time.
Pang Tong said calmly: "No matter how strong a fortress is, there will be internal divisions."
"My lord, you can surround the city with three sides and leave one side open."
"Leave only the west gate."
"Leave a way for the city to escape, and they will not defend it to the death."
"And the west just faces Yizhou."
"It is the most perfect retreat for officials in Jingzhou and even Liu Biao."
"In addition, Liu Biao's advisers will definitely suggest that Jiangling send troops to attack our army's food supply route."
"You can send Wen Chang with elite soldiers to resist it."
"After the victory, bring the generals and generals to the first gathering."
"Spread rumors that Jiangling has been broken."
"The defenders of Xiangyang have no support. Under our army's crazy attack on the city wall, they will inevitably collapse internally."
"Escape from the west."
"Then Xiangyang can be secured!"
