No one would have thought that Liu Mang would send out troops without even discussing with an envoy. Sending out troops would naturally start a war. Most of the soldiers in Jingzhou now belong to the Jiangxia generation, even if there are extra soldiers and horses. An elite navy, not an army. Going to war with Liu Mang's army on land is totally looking for abuse.
"The matter has come to this point, can't any of you have a solution!" Liu Biao stared coldly at a kind of civil and military below.
Jingzhou is not ready for war, because once the war starts, it will really tear up the face with Lu Bu. Although the hinterland of Jingzhou is on the opposite bank of the Yangtze River, don't forget that there are many places that border Liu Mang's army, such as Xinye, such as Jiangxia.
"Degui, tell me! What should we do now, should we send you to lead the troops to fight, or hand over to Xinye?!" Liu Biao's eyes almost showed anger. Although Xinye is small, it is still a county. Eight counties, losing this Xinye Liu Biao will also feel distressed.
Pang Tong has entered Xiangyang. Although the Pang family has a lot of influence in Jingzhou, they have not yet reached the point of covering the sky with one hand. Pang Tong wanted to kill the envoy of Liu Mang's army. How could it be possible without Cai Mao's acquiescence? Intelligence personnel are for nothing! Therefore, Cai Mao was the one who encouraged Liu Biao and Liu Mangjun to turn against each other.
"This, this!" Cai Hao didn't know what to do. As I said earlier, although Liu Biao wanted to check and balance the Yangzhou Army, he didn't want to offend Liu Mang and Lu Bu. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to pay tens of thousands of dollars for a messenger. Shi Liangcao is not gold anymore, if you give Liu Mang food and grass, Liu Mang will definitely accept it, because what Liu Mang lacks now is food and grass, give Liu Mang gold! Will Liu Mang be short of gold? What Liu Biao wanted was for Liu Mang to come to Jingzhou as a hostage, and then Liu Biao sold military rations to Yangzhou to help Yangzhou tide over the difficulties. After that, what kind of troubles Liu Bei and Liu Mang had had was not what Liu Biao wanted to think about.
But Liu Mang, such a fool, sent troops directly, which directly stunned Liu Biao. He wanted to restrict Liu Mang's army, didn't he want to start a war with Liu Mang's army? Although Jingzhou has a lot of background, it can't stand the two-way war. Isn't this pushing Lu Bujun into the arms of Jiangdong Army on the opposite side? Cai Mao regretted that he ignored him that night because of the daughter. If Liu Mang's envoy was still there, this situation would not have happened.
Although Cai Mao was a military adviser in Jingzhou, Cai Hao seldom led troops to fight in person. When Jiang Xia was still Huang Zu as the prefect, it was Wenpin who represented Jingzhou in battles, but now Wenpin was sent to Jiangxia. There are many heroes in Jingzhou, but these heroes are rarely loyal to Liu Biao. Even if there is Liu Biao, I don’t know who they are. For example, Wang Wei, Huo Jun, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, etc. are either good generals or fierce generals, but Liu Biao has not been able to use them. one. Wang Wei, Huang Zhong, and Gan Ning are now in Liu Mang's army, and Huo Jun is in Jiangxia.
If Liu Mang attacks Xinye, there is really no good general to resist Liu Mang's army. Cai Mao still has Zhang Yun in his hand, but Zhang Yun is a navy general, and Liu Mang's army does not fight water battles with him. .
"Huang She, what about you! What do you think!" Liu Biao turned his attention to another person, who was an old acquaintance of Lu Bujun. It was Huang She, the son of Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia. This Huang She was really the blessing of Lu Bujun! Huang She's journey didn't happen once or twice. Last time, Lu Bujun's envoy was also killed by Huang She. This also led to Lu Bu's capture of Huangzhou and the start of the Jiangxia war. Originally, Lu Bu's army would be blocked in Huangzhou by the veteran Huang Zhong with Jiang Xia's troops. It was also Huang She who destroyed the Great Wall himself in order to seize power, and forcefully forced a general like Huang Zhong into Lu Bu's army. Huang She is also a firm slander of Liu Mang's faction in Yangzhou, and he and Cai Mao and Pang Tong are simply a united front.
"My lord, why panic, as long as my lord has 10,000 soldiers and horses, I will definitely defeat the incoming enemy, and let him Liu Mang from Yangzhou see my demeanor from Jingzhou!" Dad cheated on his father because of Huang She's behavior. He was also extremely vigilant about Huang She's joining the army, so Huang Zu went to Changsha by himself but left Huang She in Xiangyang, letting him serve as a civilian under Liu Biao.
"Ten thousand soldiers and horses!" Liu Biao laughed out of anger. Do you Huang She really think that you are the grandson alive or the god of war Bai Qi? Even grandchildren. He is also not sure to use 10,000 sailors to fight against other elite cavalry. With Huang She's many bad deeds, how could Liu Biao send troops to him. Ten thousand soldiers? One hundred thousand soldiers and horses are not enough for him to lose. He really is a tiger father and dog son. His father Huang Zu is such a powerful man. He shot and killed the Changsha tiger Sun Jian back then. All these years, it is because he is old and his body can no longer support him. , was beaten and beaten, but this son is just a waste.
It would be better if he was just a waste, at least he had a little self-knowledge, but this idiot always thought that he was a genius, and he was only a genius. Even the most recent loss to Lu Bujun he thought it was Huang Zhong's strategy is that Huang Zhong has a double heart, otherwise he will definitely win.
"Get down!" Liu Biao couldn't bear it anymore, if he saw Huang She again, he couldn't imagine that he would draw his knife and cut him.
"Haha, haha!" When all the civil and military personnel present were frowning, only one of them burst into laughter. This person was Liu Bei's envoy from Yuzhou and Pang Tong, Liu Bei's military adviser.
Of course Pang Tong was happy. He came to Jingzhou to ask for food, but when he saw the envoy of Liu Mang's army, he learned from a class superman and killed the envoy of Liu Mang's army. Mang went to war, but who would have thought that Liu Biao in Jingzhou was an overly cautious person, regardless of whether Liu Biao killed the envoy of Liu Mang's army, logically speaking, Liu Biao could completely ignore Yangzhou Liu Mang, but Liu Biao still sent He gave Wanshi food and grass as an apology. He offended Liu Mang, but he was afraid of offending Liu Mang to death. So I asked Kuai Yue, his chief counselor, and Kuai Yue's plan was to let Liu Mang come to Jingzhou to discuss the matter of grain and grass. Although Pang Tong was not reconciled, he was able to get Liu Mang under house arrest by Liu Biaojun. When he arrived in Jingzhou, Pang Tong naturally had the opportunity to deal with Liu Mang.
But now, this Liu Mang actually sent his army south, isn't this right in Pang Tong's arms! Let's fight, let's fight, Pang Tong is eager for Liu Biao and Liu Mang to fight, once the war starts, Liu Biao will not give his lord Liu Bei food and grass! Not only has the problem of food and grass been solved, but the Xinye generation can also be won by the way. With the support of Jingzhou's money and food, they can even win Yangzhou. Why not do it.
"The current situation in Yidu?!" After turning around, Liu Biao could only turn his attention to Kuai Yue. Kuai Liang did not come to participate in the discussion. One is good, Kuai Yue, who is the elder brother of Kuai Liang, is also very helpless. Seeing the lord Liu Biao asked himself, he immediately stood up and said, "My lord needs to be courteous before guests. Send an envoy with a letter from the lord to inquire. What the hell is His Royal Highness the King of Shu talking about! It would be great if he could turn hostility into jade!"
"How can we turn war into jade!" Liu Biao smiled wryly and shook his head. The envoy was killed. Although Liu Biao also paid compensation, the people who sent the food and grass were the Cai family. It is conceivable that the attitude towards the Yangzhou Army is almost the same. Yu gave alms. The last time Jingzhou sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, Liu Mang in Yangzhou had already angered Liu Mang. Liu Mang let Wei Yan swallow the two cities of Yiyang and Zaoyang in Jingzhou. This time it was even more excessive, if it was just not selling food and grass, it would be fine, even the envoys were dead, and thinking that Liu Mang coming in person would not be a humiliation, so Liu Biao was not very confident about turning hostility into friendship.
Turn hostility into friendship? How could Pang Tong give him this chance? He winked at the scribe of Lumen Academy who was next to him, nodded and walked forward, saying:
"My lord is at this point. How can this Liu Mang give up? According to my strategy, instead of sending envoys to waste time, it is better to fight Liu Mang to the death with Chen Bing in Xinye."
"If you can't turn war into jade, then you have only soldiers! Sending envoys is for etiquette, and we can't lose etiquette." Kuai Yue looked at a scribe from Lumen Academy and said, this Lumen Academy is bent on making Jingzhou and Yangzhou go to war. ah. Although Kuai Yue was dissatisfied, he didn't show it. "And this soldier should be Chen Bing in Xinye. Waiting for work to defend against the enemy on the other side of the Yangtze River! Also, Shi Yuan, Duke Xuande's soldiers should have no horses to Fang Nanshan! Kuai Yue set his sights on Pang Tong.
Pang Tong was overjoyed when he looked at Kuai Yue's gaze, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Liu Jingzhou and Mr. Yidu, my Lord Xuande will definitely not sit idly by while Liu Mang's little boy invades Jingzhou, as long as the soldiers can eat If you are full, you will definitely die!"
Pang Tong spoke grandly. In fact, a message was revealed, give food! The soldiers can only work when they are full. Pang Tong came to Jingzhou to buy food, but now he doesn't mention the money. As long as Liu Mang sends troops, Liu Biao will definitely ask Liu Bei, so is Liu Bei's lack of food and grass still a thing? As long as Liu Biao gives a little, Liu Beijun is enough.
Once the problem of food and grass is solved, you can continue to ask for weapons and armor. Such a big boss, I'm sorry if I don't eat a little!
The most critical thing is to make Liu Biaojun and Liu Mangjun completely turn against each other.
"Huh?!" Kuai Yue squinted his eyes and looked at the eloquent Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan. Back then, Liu Biao dared to raise Zhang Xiu and gave Zhang Xiu all the food, grass and money. It was because Zhang Xiu didn't know how to govern the country and didn't have enough money Ambition, but now this Liu Bei is different. Liu Bei's ability to confuse people is still very strong. Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others in his hands are all talents who can govern one side. ! But what can be done? Liu Mang of Yangzhou has sent troops, and Kuai Yue is also shaking his head. Why is this King of Shu so restless! If Liu Mang came to Jingzhou, then he would be able to solve the food and grass problem in Yangzhou, gather the power of Yangzhou to solve Yuzhou and Liu Bei to take the Central Plains, as long as Lu Bu's army exists for a day, although Liu Biao controls Liu Mang, he dare not move Liu Mang in the slightest. He even entertained him with good food and drink. As long as he shows a little bit of cooperation with Jiang Dong, Liu Biao will probably send Liu Manggong back at that time!
But this time, His Royal Highness the King of Shu was reckless. He couldn't bear it, so he sent troops directly. Although Liu Mang sent troops, although he could vent his anger, it was Liu Bei of Yuzhou who benefited!
Liu Mang's choice can't be changed by Kuaiyue. All he can do is coordinate Jingzhou's money and food to fight this battle well, and also try to deduct Liu Bei's food and grass as much as possible.
"Thank you Xuande for me, Shi Yuan!" Liu Biao gestured to Pang Tong. He didn't want to start a war with Liu Mang. Once the war started, Jingzhou was rich but it couldn't support such a fight. Xinye was the barrier of the north gate, and Jiangxia was the east gate The barrier on both sides is now being attacked on both sides, it is really unbearable, Liu Biao doesn't want to lose Xinye! After all, Xinye is also a county, and how many officials can be arranged in a county and how many gentry can be appeased! Once Xinye is broken, this right has to be diluted again.
"This is what my lord should do!" Pang Tong accepted Liu Biao's thanks with a smile. Originally, Liu Mang in Yangzhou was Liu Bei's enemy. With Jingzhou's offer, it's equivalent to Liu using Jingzhou's money to do his own thing, this kind of feeling will be uncomfortable! Liu Biao thanked Liu Bei. In fact, it was Liu Bei who thanked Liu Biao for his generosity!
