"My lord, are we going to Jingzhou with such soldiers and horses?!" Jia Xu and Liu Mang came to Baima Congyi's barracks early the next morning. Jia Xu was forced to follow Liu Mang. The eldest son, Jia Mu, was also found by Yang Hong. Jia Xu is a middle-aged son, and he is still very precious to his son. Liu Wei directly let Jia Mu stay in Shouchun and ask him to learn from him. Xu Shu, Jia Xu is cunning and cunning, conspiratorial and poisonous, but Xu Shu is an upright and upright person, a man who plans to govern the country, Liu Mang really hopes to see an upright son and a cunning Dad, a son who sacrifices himself for others, and a dad who harms others and benefits himself, the combination of these two makes Liu Mang want to laugh.
Although Jia Xu was reluctant, but for his own life and the inheritance of Jia Xu's family incense, he could only follow in vain, but the scene in front of him made him howl involuntarily, and the whole White Horse Congyi Army Camp There are only three thousand soldiers and horses, and these soldiers and horses are the people who accompanied them.
"What's the matter? Wenhe! It's not these soldiers who went to Jingzhou! It's there!" Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu with a smile and pointed to the side for Jia Xu to see.
Jia Xu looked at Liu Mang's finger, okay! Guan Hai and Zhou Cang each came with ten soldiers in armor and horses.
"Eh!" The corners of Jia Xu's mouth started to twitch. There are only 20 people going to Jingzhou in danger
"Don't worry, Wenhe, it's not easy to act when there are too many people!" There is a reason why Liu Mang only brought these 20 people with him. Except for Guan Hai and Zhou Cang, the remaining 20 people are not in the army. , but was dispatched by Yang Hong to Liu Mang. These people are in charge of intelligence and are familiar with various road sections in Jingzhou. Let them lead Liu Mang into some small roads or among the people if danger occurs in Jingzhou. , used to avoid danger. If Liu Mang brought a large-scale army, not only would Liu Biao of Jingzhou see it clearly, but also if something happened, he would have to leave urgently. The scale of hundreds of people was really too big. Too compelling. It is impossible to leave quietly, so we can only forcefully break through. At that time, even if there are hundreds of elites, can you still play head-to-head with Liu Biao at home! Therefore, it is not as good as a small team of twenty people with hundreds of people.
"Then attack Liu Bei in Yuzhou?!" Jia Xu can still understand what he said earlier, a small person naturally has a small goal, but you can no longer care about whether the goal is big or not when attacking Liu Bei in Yuzhou.
"Attacking Liu Bei in Yuzhou, isn't this Zilong's white horse Congyi right?" Liu Mang said calmly, pointing at the white horse Congyi in the camp.
"That's all?!" Jia Xu was really stunned this time. Liu Mang's main goal this time is Nanyang County, but in Nanyang County, others don't know him, Jia Xu doesn't know! There are thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry, more than the Xiliang iron cavalry brought out by Jia Xu, and they are all Qiang cavalry, and there are 30,000 infantry, which can add up to 40,000. You just sent three thousand people? You really thought you could hit ten with one. Even if one hits ten, there are still 8,000 people left.
What's more, those thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry are all heavy armored cavalry! But now the three thousand white horses are light cavalry, how can they fight? The difference between heavy cavalry and light cavalry is equivalent to that of heavy cavalry and light cavalry. If Liu Mang hadn't pulled him along to prepare to go to Nanyang. He is too lazy to care about these things, but he, Jia Xu, wants to go with these white horses. Once he encounters Xiliang cavalry in the wild, how can he escape Jia Xu
"That's enough!" Liu Mang didn't look down on the Xiliang iron cavalry in Nanyang, nor did he underestimate Liu Bei and Liu Daer in Yuzhou, but Liu Mang had confidence in his white horse and Zhao Yun. "Nanyang County just let Baima Congyi train soldiers!"
"My lord, this old minister is really old, please let Xu stay here!" Jia Xu didn't know why Liu Mang was acting up, so he took 3,000 men to fight 40,000, but the opponent still had heavy cavalry, and he But there are only three thousand troops that have not yet formed an army, and they are still training! It's fine if you don't get trained to death!
Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu's appearance and felt very funny, but he still waved his hand, "The whole army is going!" Liu Mang only brought a white horse to follow the righteousness. This is a light cavalry with 3,000 men, but it has 6,000 horses. War horses, so many war horses can ensure that the horsepower of the cavalry is fully replenished, and these light cavalry also put horse fodder and grain on their other war horse, in order to ensure the supply of grain and grass for these few days.
…
Jingzhou Xiangyang City
In Liu Biao's meeting hall, Liu Biao is already old, but he is still pacing in the hall, which shows the struggle in Liu Biao's heart.
"Yidu, do you think I did the right thing this time!" Liu Biao was extremely irritable. Liu Biao had never been so irritable since he got Jingzhou. In the past, the world was fighting for hegemony, and the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo. , but his Jingzhou is still as stable as Mount Tai, and everything seems to have nothing to do with him. One of the reasons for this is that Liu Biao, the former eight-jun, has become a loser because of his age and the city bureau. Enterprising people.
But now Liu Biao can't escape, the world is changing day by day, the all-powerful Dong Zhuo has been overthrown, and then Yuan Shao, the overlord of Hebei, is also dying of illness, and now his Jingzhou is in chaos.
The forces from all walks of life are intricate, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, Zhang Xiu, Liu Bei, no one is easy to get along with. Although Zhang Xiu is dead, the current situation has become more and more chaotic. Can't make up my mind.
The one Liu Biao called different was Kuai Yue, the patriarch of the two great families in Jingzhou. One shortcoming is the aristocratic family behind this person. He cares more about his own family than his own ambitions. Back then, Kuai Yue assisted Liu Biao to win Jingzhou, but now Kuai Yue is only thinking about how to get the best for his family. benefit.
"My lord, there is no right or wrong in this world, only winning or losing!" Kuai Yue knew what Liu Biao was worried about. He didn't directly point out that Liu Biao was wrong or right, but confuse Liu Biao with another theory. asked.
"There is no right or wrong. Only victory?!" Liu Biao muttered to himself when Kuai Yue said it.
"My lord, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Let Jiangdong Sun Ce and Lujiang Lu Bu bite each other. If Lu Bu wins, then the lord needs to appease Lu Bu. If Lu Bu loses, who will blame the lord!" Kuai Yue was comforting Liu Biao's heart.
"Different degree, but this time!" Why didn't Liu Biao understand this truth, he wanted to use Lujiang Lu Bu to consume Jiangdong Sun Ce at the beginning, because Lu Bu also brought a threat to Liu Biao. But who would have thought that Jiangdong Sun Ce would take the opportunity to attack his own Sanjiangkou, so that Liu Biao could only fight back in anger, so that Lu Bu became a potential ally of Jiangdong, but this time this potential ally was about to be offended by Liu Biao to death.
Yangzhou Liu Wei lacked military rations. Liu Biao had known this news for a long time, and even Liu Biao had received Sun Ce's strategy. Before that, Lu Bu sent envoys to buy food and grass. Liu Biao just procrastinated, just wanting to sell for a price, but later Lu Bu won, and Liu Wei sent an envoy again. Logically speaking, Liu Biao should have sold grain and grass to Liu Mang this time. Pang Tong, the military adviser sent by Liu Bei in Yuzhou, disrupted Liu Biao's plan at once. Pang Tongyi killed the envoy in Yangzhou with a knife. Killing the envoy was tantamount to declaring war. Fortunately, under Kuai Yue's suggestion, Liu Biao still sent compensation to Liu Mang's army, but Liu Biao was still worried.
"My lord, why worry! If the Yangzhou army comes, the soldiers will cover the water and the earth. Our army's base is mainly in the south of the Yangtze River. At worst, we will withdraw from Xinye and hand it over to Liu Wei! Besides, Liu Bei in Yuzhou said that once The troops from Yangzhou are coming, and Liu Bei's army will definitely secure the northern gate of Jingzhou for me!" Kuai Yue comforted Liu Biao's heart, and Liu Biao's heart felt a little better after saying this.
But then, Liu Biao became suspicious again, "Odd degree, this Yangzhou Liu Mang is not a good person, and Yuzhou Liu Bei is not a good person either!" Liu Biao is not a person without vision. To be honest, the strength of Lu Bu's army in Lujiang made him worry. In Liu Biao's eyes, Liu Bei, his fellow clan, was also not a kind person, but an ambitious person. On the original track, Liu Biao was always on guard against Liu Bei. When Liu Bei was driven out of Xuzhou by Cao Cao, he fled to Jingzhou in fright. Liu Biao didn't want to accept Liu Bei because he knew that Liu Bei was an ambitious man. , It's hard not to kill Liu Bei!
Liu Biao, who was on the original trajectory, really had a plan to deal with his own family with the surname Liu. Liu Biao chose the two-character limit.
Although he restricted Liu Bei, he did a good job on the surface. When Liu Bei came, he greeted him personally, treated him as a guest, and added troops to him. Now, the following is the beginning to show limitations.
Liu Biao directly threw Liu Bei to Xinye on the other side of the river. Xinye deviates from the power center of Jingzhou, and Xinye is on the other side of the Yangtze River. It can be regarded as a northern gateway of Jingzhou. At that time, Lao Cao took Nanyang County. On the front line bordering Lao Cao, the purpose of leaving Liu Bei is self-evident. There is an extra thug for no reason, Liu Biao's plan is good!
And now Liu Biao is still very wary of Liu Bei. Lu Bu Liu Wei in Yangzhou makes Liu Biao worry. Isn’t this Liu Bei not worrying? There is a lesson from the past. The former Liu Biao’s dog Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei were still on their honeymoon at the beginning Well, now that Liu Bei has been picked on, Liu Biao can not worry, not to mention that Liu Bei and Jiangdong Sun Ce have an alliance agreement. If there is a double attack, it will be Liu Biao who will cry.
Kuai Yue looked at the old man in front of him. He is sixty-one this year, his hair is gray, the black hair of the year has disappeared, and the eight horses will become old. Liu Biao is too indecisive. He is afraid of this, so he will Afraid of that, I have long since lost the vigor I had at the beginning.
He was afraid of Jiangdong Sunce, so he wanted to use Lujiang Lu Bula to control Jiangdong Sunce. Lu Bu was able to gain a firm foothold in Lujiang and Liu Biao had a share of the credit. He restrained Zhou Yu's tens of thousands of sailors.
After being afraid of Sun Ce, he was afraid of Lujiang Lu Bu again. Lu Bu's son-in-law Liu Mang directly wiped out Sun Ce's 100,000 troops in Jiangdong. The battle of Yangzhou drove the coalition forces of both sides out of Yangzhou. Liu Biao was really afraid of his combat power, so Liu Biao wanted to check and balance Lujiang Lu Bu. Although Pang Tong killed Liu Mang's envoy, if Liu Biao directly sold grain to Yangzhou, nothing would happen. It is even possible that Liu Biao's sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger's fight before will be written off, but Liu Biao is under the instigation of the Cai family and the Pang family. He only paid ten thousand stones for food and grass, but he didn't say a word about buying and selling food and grass.
If you stick to it to the end, it's okay to say, you obviously want Liu Bei's alliance, but Liu Biao was afraid that he would completely offend Lujiang Lu Bu, so he asked Kuai Yue for advice. Kuai Yue was influenced by his younger brother. The impact on the Yangzhou Army is not bad, not to mention the long distance and close attack. An enemy's enemy is a friend. Jingzhou's biggest enemy at present is the fierce tiger Sun Ce of Jiangdong, not Yangzhou Liu Mang. Even if Yangzhou Liu Mang and Lu Bu wipe out Yuzhou Liu Bei and occupy the Central Plains, they can do this. As long as he has the character of the Yangtze River, then he is safe in Jingzhou, not to mention that there are only two families on the other side of the Yangtze River, Sun Ce and Liu Biao. It is obvious who the Yangzhou Army will attack.
When Liu Mang pacifies the Central Plains, I am afraid that the north will also have to decide the outcome. With Cao Cao's qualifications, the third son of the Yuan family will not be his opponent at all.
Cao Cao freed his hand. Naturally, it is necessary to unify the Central Plains. The layout of the world at that time is that Cao Cao in the north will go south, and the first person to face is Liu Mang in the Central Plains. After the disaster, Liu Mang and Jiangdong Sun Ce are enemies. Naturally, it will also help Jingzhou to contain Jiangdong, and Jingzhou relies on the danger of the Yangtze River, and the hundreds of thousands of sailors, although not the left-handed fisherman's profit, can guarantee the stability of Jingzhou's mountains and rivers for decades.
However, the Pang family, the Cai family, and the Huang family all talked about the badness of Yangzhou. Liu Wei has become a heinous person under their exaggeration, and Liu Wei is not satisfied with Liu Biao's left-handed fisherman in Jingzhou, so Wei Yan won it. Leaving Yiyang and Zaoyang also became an excuse for the three families to attack.
Although Kuai Yue had a good strategy in mind, he was unwilling to offend these three families. The Pang family was fine. The Huang family and the Cai family had many interests with the Kuai family, and the three families were even related by in-laws. If Kuai Yue said If one is not, then the three families will be offended.
Therefore, the strategy Kuai Yue gave is a neutral strategy. It is not a direct refusal not to sell grain. Once he directly refuses, he will offend Liu Mang to death. If you get angry and send troops, then Jingzhou can take Yiyang and Zaoyang to say that it was you Liu Mang who attacked my city first. If Liu Mang came in person, the grain and grass would naturally be sold, then Liu Biao could use Liu Mang as a hostage to check and balance Lu Bu. In terms of development, Lu Bu has only one daughter and one son-in-law, and the foundation is left to Liu Mang. With Liu Mang in hand, Lu Bu's army naturally dare not mess around.
As for Liu Bei in Yuzhou, this person is weird and changeable. Kuai Yue really doesn't like this person. The front is still an ally and the latter annexed the territory of the allies. Kuai Yue has been watching carefully. If Zhang Xiu died in Lu Bujun So why did Zhang Xiu's youngest son, with the help of Jia Xu, rush out of Nanyang and seek refuge under Lu Bu's command
Such a person who seeks skin from a tiger, the more Kuai can like it, the more he will be a ghost, and in Kuai Yue's view, this Liu Bei has fought too many defeats. Although he is an immortal Xiaoqiang, he fell down again and again and got up again and again. But the few people who followed him had some good looks!
The richest man in the Mi family in Xuzhou, now, but there is an accountant next to Liu Bei, Liu Pi owns the land of Yuzhou, but he was hacked by Liu Bei, his family is so big that he can't afford Liu Bei's loss of wealth The rules of the game again.
"As long as Liu Bei can't cross the Yangtze River, he's nothing to worry about, but my lord, Pang Gong is old, you should pay more attention to Pang Gong!"
"Mr. Pang?!" Liu Biao's eyes narrowed, crow's feet appeared all over his face, and he was no longer the handsome man he once was.
Kuai Yue is a man who speaks skillfully, so who can he call Pang Gong? Naturally, it is the current Pang Degong of the Pang family. Pang Degong is indeed older than Liu Biao. Kuai Yue On the surface, this statement is a kind of concern for Lord Pang De, wanting to make the Lord pay more attention to this virtuous person in Jingzhou, but in fact it is to remind Liu Biao to be careful of the Pang family.
Lord Pang De is indeed a virtuous person. This person disdains fame and wealth, not because of fame and wealth, but he is old. Lord Pang De has only one son, Pang Shanmin, and a nephew who is the famous Pang Tong. Although Pang Shanmin is the elder brother, he is wise. But it is not as good as Pang Tong. The affairs of the Pang family are now presided over by Duke Pang De, but as long as Duke Pang De passes a hundred years later, the Pang family will not fall into the hands of Pang Shanmin. But he has already joined Liu Bei's command in Yuzhou.
That is to say, half of the Pang family has already fallen to Liu Bei. Kuai Yue said that as long as Liu Bei does not cross the Yangtze River, it will be harmless. Teachers and students are all over Jingzhou! Who in Jingzhou doesn't know Lumen Academy, although Pang Degong doesn't have peaches and plums all over the world, Jingzhou still has peaches and plums.
Once Pang Tong takes power and falls to Liu Bei in Yuzhou, do you think the disciples of the Pang family in Jingzhou will follow him? Even if he doesn't follow, he won't embarrass Pang Tong because of Duke Pang De's face. At that time, the Lord of Jingzhou will really be hard to say. So it is false to ask Liu Biao to pay attention to Mr. Pang De, but it is true to ask him to pay attention to the Pang family or to monitor the Pang family and restrict the Pang family.
"The only loyal minister in Jingzhou is Yiduer!"
"Report, the military situation in Yangzhou is urgent!" Just as Kuaiyue and Liu Biao were dealing with the monarch and his ministers, the spies from Jingzhou in Yangzhou, a hundred miles away, finally sent information. Looking at the news in the newspaper, Both Kuai Yue and Liu Biao stood up.
"What! How is that possible!" It said on the information "Yangzhou Liu Wei sent troops!"
