Three Kingdoms: The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun are Summoned at the Start - Chapter 471
Chapter 481: A Letter From Jingzhou
South Gate.
Liu Biao and Huang Zhong looked a little bad when they saw Wen Pin leading the army back.
Especially Liu Biao, his face was extremely gloomy.
Wen Pin knew that now was not the time to explain, and hurriedly shouted: “Sir, retreat first, today Xiangyang City cannot be taken down.
Liu Biao also knew that now was not the time to be concerned, so he directly mounted his horse and ran outside under the guard of Huang Zhong.
South of Xiangyang City.
After a night of marching, all the soldiers were also very tired, but fortunately Cai Mao’s army did not chase them out.
Although they didn’t sleep all night, Wen Pin, Huang Zhong, and Liu Biao didn’t have any sleepiness.
While the army was resting, Liu Biao and the three gathered together.
Wen Pin opened his mouth and said: “Everything went well at the beginning last night, Cai Mao was pressed and beaten by our army, who would have known that thousands of men and horses would suddenly be killed from the flank, and the fighting power was far superior to ordinary soldiers, after a moment of hesitation, I Decided to retreat first and preserve strength.”
“Also please forgive me!
Speaking of this, he bowed his hands, and his face was a little ashamed.
Liu Biao pondered for a moment: “It’s no wonder that General Huang Zhong also mentioned that Xu Chu, Cao Cao’s number one general, was helping Kuaiyue, and these people must have followed Xu Chu to Xiangyang City.
“Now that the city of Xiangyang has fallen into the hands of Kuaiyue, and he is more likely to have reached some kind of agreement with Cao Cao, so now our situation is very bad!”
Liu Biao sighed, he never expected such a change would occur.
Without Xu Chu’s support, Wenpin should have been able to take Kuaiyue and Cai Mao down, and the situation in Jingzhou would be very good at that time, but now…
Liu Biao let out a wry smile, feeling extremely depressed in his heart.
But at the same time, he was also grateful for the decision he made a few days ago. If he didn’t do it, he was afraid that Kuaiyue would also do it. At that time, he didn’t make any arrangements in advance, and he was afraid that he would really be tricked by Kuaiyue.
Wenpin was naturally aware of the current situation. Today they were kicked out of Xiangyang City, and I feared that the entire Jingzhou would be disrupted tomorrow. With the hard work of the Kuai family and the Cai family in Jingzhou, I feared that they could easily control the counties.
“Sir, what should we do next? Are we going to open a passage to get to your Majesty’s side, or retreat to the south to avoid the edge of Kuaiyue, Cao Cao and others?” Wen Pin said.
As their Shangguan, Liu Biao paused and said, “What do the two generals think? The situation is dangerous now, if you have an opinion, you can say it directly without any cover up.
As soon as these words came out, Wen Pin heaved a sigh of relief.
He took a step forward and opened his mouth to analyze: “Sir, we need to pass through Cao Cao’s territory to the north, and Yuan Shao’s territory to the east. We still have more than 40,000 troops. If we act together, the goal is too big and it will easily be given by others. Aiming at it, if it falls into a siege, then there is a danger of the entire army being wiped out.”
“Therefore, this subordinate thinks that it is better to be quiet than to move, and we will not leave Jingzhou or approach Your Majesty. 35
“There are two advantages in this way. First, it can disperse Cao Cao and Kuaiyue’s energy, so that they can’t ignore the south. Second, they can serve as His Majesty’s inner support. If His Majesty goes to Jingzhou in the south, we can also respond. 35
Wenpin’s analysis is really beautiful, and it can even be said that he sees the whole situation in his eyes.
Liu Biao couldn’t help but nodded, agreeing with Wenpin’s words.
“General Wenpin is really good, and Gu also agrees very much. What is General Huang’s opinion?”
Huang Zhong said: “My lord, my subordinates also agree with the appointment of generals.”9
“Jiangling is the military center of Jingzhou, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, why not use it as a foundation to fight against Cao Cao and Kuaiyue?
Liu Biao and Wen Pin pondered for a moment, then nodded: “Yes!
“Order the whole army to march on Gangneung!
Xinducheng.
Inside the palace.
Liu Bian looked at the messenger from Jingzhou with majesty on his face.
The messenger hurriedly crouched on the ground and said, “See Your Majesty, Wei Chen is here under the order of the state shepherd.”
“This is a letter from the State Shepherd to His Majesty. 99
After he finished speaking, he handed the envelope to Zheng He, and Zheng He took it to Liu Bian.
After reading it, Liu Bian couldn’t help showing a smile on his face.
A few days ago, he learned from the system that Xu Chu was facing Jingzhou and Huang Zhong. At that time, he understood that Cao Cao had already started to fight against Jingzhou.
He had no confidence in Liu Biao, and felt that it was impossible to fight against Cao Cao. Although he did not want to see Cao Cao’s power and territory expand, he could not quench his thirst from afar. Although he knew it, he could do nothing.
Ye Wei’s power has not yet expanded to Jingzhou, so he does not know the specific situation.
Now Lieutenant Liu Biao has explained everything in the letter and also expressed his loyalty, how can this make him unhappy?
“You go down and have a good rest, I will make an order later.”
The messenger hurriedly kowtowed and stepped back slowly.
“Your Majesty, it must be Liu Jingsheng who bowed his head to His Majesty?” Liu Bowen on the side said with a smile on his face.
Liu Bian nodded slowly: “Yes, Liu Biao really expressed his loyalty to the imperial court in the letter, but there were some troubles and problems.
“Oh?”
A suspicious look appeared on Liu Bowen’s face.
Liu Bian continued: “Yes, Kuaiyue Cai Mao and Cao Cao colluded and drove Liu Biao out of Xiangyang City. Now in the seven counties of Jingzhou, except for Sun Jian in Changsha and Liu Biao who just occupied Jiangling, all the rest fell to Cao Cao. Yue’s hands. 99
As soon as these words came out, Liu Bowen and Xun Yu, who had not spoken all the time, instantly showed ugly expressions on their faces.
Through the fight with Cao Cao in Qingzhou, both of them can see that Cao Cao is a person who is not easy to deal with, but at this time, he gets Jingzhou, and his strength doubles in an instant, which means that the level of trouble in the future is also doubled. times.
“Your Majesty, this is not good. I didn’t expect that Jingzhou has undergone such a big change in just a few days.”
“We have to make arrangements in advance and discuss how to deal with it.
Liu Bian nodded: “Yes, Cao Cao can’t continue to let it go, otherwise the harm he will bring in the future will be even greater.
“What good ideas do the two lovers have?”
Liu Bian’s inquiring eyes were on the two of them, his eyes full of anticipation.
