Chapter 252 The Lion's Big Opening

When receiving Zhuge Liang's report, Liu Qi was discussing with Gan Ning about Wancheng in the house. When Gan Ning returned to Jingzhou, Cao Cao sent two generals under his command to station in Shangyong and Fancheng. You should know that these two men were the leaders of the elite cavalry and leopards under Cao Cao's command, and there was no doubt about their talents.

If these two people have any thoughts about Wancheng, the situation in Wancheng will be bad. Therefore, even if Liu Qi recalled Gan Ning, it was only carried out secretly. After all, in Wancheng, the prestige of Wei Yan and Gan Ning is not weak.

"Lord, the military division asked the last general to tell the master that there is no need for the master to worry about Wancheng. Although Cao Ren and Cao Chun are brave, they are not worried. There are nearly 6,000 flying tiger troops in Wancheng and 3,000 Wancheng defenders, which is more than enough for Cao Ren. The lord can focus on Jiangdong and Jingzhou." Gan Ning's face was dusty, but his eyes were bright.

The situation in Wancheng has basically stabilized, and it is impossible to have any conflict with Cao Bing in a short period of time. Both he and Wei Yan were a little superfluous to stay in Wancheng, so when they heard that Liu Qi was going to recall him, Gan Ning immediately handed over the affairs in his hand to Wei Yan and secretly rushed back.

"Well, since Shiyuan said so, there should be no mistakes in Wancheng in a short period of time. At present, the most important thing is Jiangdong. Jiangdong Sun Ce sent 100,000 troops to attack Jiangxia some time ago. There has been no news for a few days, but Kong Ming and Zhongye (Wenpin) can't make much waves in Jiangdong in the short term. However, Jiangdong has arbitrarily invaded Jingzhou over the years. If he doesn't teach Jiangdong a lesson, I'm afraid Jiangdong will not pay attention to Jingzhou like today. Hearing Gan Ning's words, Liu Qi was relieved, and then said with a sneer.

In order to avenge his father over the years, Jiangdong Sun Ce has fought at least dozens of battles with Jingzhou. Every time, Jingzhou has to be careful. If he doesn't give Jiangdong a blow, he will think that Jingzhou is really easy to bully.

"The lord is wise. The lord has made arrangements for the matter of Jiangdong for a long time." Gan Ning smiled and said that if Liu Qi was not sure, he would not say it.

"Ha ha, I'm going to let Xingba lead the 40,000 water army in Jiangdong to support Jiangxia. At the same time, General Wang's Flying Tiger Army will also rush to Jiangxia at the same time to give Jiangdong an unforgettable lesson. At that time, Kong Mingqi only needs to listen to Kong Ming's arrangement, and Jiangdong will be caught off guard, and wait for Jiangdong to wakes up. I'm afraid it's too late." Liu Qi smiled and said that he was full of confidence in Zhuge Liang and Liu Qi. Wen Ping, Wang Wei, Zhao Yun and Gan Ning, it was difficult for Jiang Dong to retreat this time.

"Forty thousand sailors? Lord, this..." Gan Ning didn't expect that Liu Qi would hand over 40,000 water troops to his command. You should know that these 40,000 water troops are all the current water troops in Jingzhou.

"Xingba doesn't have to worry. Although these 40,000 navy has been carefully selected, it has not experienced blood for a long time. This trip to Jiangxia is bound to collide with the navy in Jiangdong, which is also a grinding of the navy. At present, no one in Jingzhou is more suitable for commanding the navy than Xingba." Liu Qi waved his hand. He knew Gan Ning's concerns, but he still believed in Gan Ning's character very much, otherwise he would not give him 40,000 sailors.

"Thank you, Lord." Gan Ning said with an excited face that so many soldiers and horses of the 40,000 navy were handed over to him. At this time, Gan Ning was really too excited. At the beginning, he went to Jingzhou for a moment. Unexpectedly, he had good luck after meeting Liu Qi. Not only was he been reused, but now he is leading the 40,000 navy.

"Ha ha, Xingba, don't be happy too early. Your leader is just a temporary agent. If you lead the water army to make contributions, you can officially appoint." Seeing Gan Ning like this, Liu Qi was also extremely happy, and he could feel the excitement in Gan Ning's heart.

"Lord, don't worry, the trip to Jiangxia will definitely ask the Jiangdong Water Army to come and go back." Gan Ning said with an excited face that he was very familiar with the battle of the navy. Although the number suddenly increased to 40,000 at this time, he was confident that he would be familiar with all this in a few days.

"Okay, you have a rest today and you will lead 40,000 sailors to Jiangxia early tomorrow morning. General Wang has led 10,000 flying tigers to Jiangxia in advance. At that time, you can just meet in Jiangxia and give Sun Ce a surprise." Liu Qi smiled.

The water army went down the stream and went down much faster than the Flying Tiger Army, so the day before Gan Ning came back, Liu Qi had ordered Wang Wei to lead the Flying Tiger Army to leave early. Xiangyang originally had 14,000 flying tiger troops. Liu Qi originally planned to let Wang Wei take all these flying tiger troops, but Wang Wei insisted that only 10,000 flying tiger troops could defeat Jiangdong's soldiers and horses.

Liu Qi did not object to Wang Wei's proposal. In history, Wang Wei dared to fight head-on even Cao Cao after the Battle of Guandu. Naturally, he will not see Jiangdong today. Wang Wei has not led troops to war for a long time. Now it is just right for Jiangdong to see Wang Wei's power.

He waved his hand to let Gan Ning retreat, but saw Jia Xu hurried in with a bamboo slip.

"The news came from Lord Jiang Xia." Before Liu Qi could ask, Jia Xu said first.

"Oh, what's the news?" Hearing the news of Jiang Xia, Liu Qi was shocked, but Jiang Xia did not get any news for several days.

"Ha ha, Kong Ming is really a genius. He can actually think of letting Feilongwei raid Chai Sang, who was heavily defended by Jiangdong, and burned the grain and fodder of the 100,000 troops in Jiangdong in one fell swoop, and suddenly took the initiative." Jia Xu also said with a rosy face, as if he were commanding.

He can't help but be excited. Even if he is in Zhuge Liang's position, he can't help but make such a risky and deadly strategy. Moreover, although Chai Sang's matter seems to be very dangerous, it is calculated step by step.

"Okay, I think Jiangdong is still arrogant this time." Liu Qi laughed.

"However, Jiangdong actually thought of borrowing grain from the master after the grain was burned, which was a little strange." Jia Xu suddenly said.

"Oh, did you borrow food from me? What did Kong Ming say? Liu Qi also calmed down. The matter of Jiangdong borrowing grain from Jingzhou sounded a little funny.

"Kong Ming said that he hoped that the lord would leave the matter to him." Jia Xu looked at the bamboo slip in his hand.

"Oh." Liu Qi took Zhu Jian and looked at it.

...........................................................................

Jiang Xia, the day after Lu Su's envoy to Jiangxia, Zhuge Liang finally gave a reply to Sun Ce. Zhuge Liang did not receive Liu Qi's order. Jiangxia is not close to Xiangyang, and it is not allowed at all in time. Zhuge Liang's words are also to stabilize Sun Ce.

After hearing Zhuge Liang's reply, Sun Ce and others looked happy, but when Sun Ce and others saw the content on the bamboo slip, Sun Ce and others became extremely gloomy.

A large article was written on the bamboo slip. Zhuge Liang's request was more difficult than Sun Ce and others imagined. When he saw the content on the bamboo slip, Sun Ce almost dropped the bamboo slip.

Zhuge Liang's first request was to cede Chai Sangcheng to Jingzhou. Chaisang City is very close to Jiangxia. On the junction of Jingzhou and Jiangxia, Chaisang is the only Jiangdong City located in Jingzhou. The location of Chaisang City is extremely important, and Zhuge Liang will naturally not let it go.

Chai Sang is extremely important to Jingzhou, but it is also important for Jiangdong. Sun Ce will definitely not agree to give Chai Sangcheng to Jingzhou. Chaisang City is not only the frontier position for Jiangdong to attack Jingzhou, but also the grain and grass reserve base for Jiangdong to attack Jingzhou. It is also a corner with Jiujiang to prevent Jingzhou's raid. How can such an important city Sun Ce make Jingzhou?

In Sun Ce's opinion, Jingzhou is enough to bother him. If Chai Sang is ceded to Jingzhou, Jingzhou's power will definitely expand again, which Jiangdong can't tolerate.

The second requirement put forward by Zhuge Liang on the bamboo slip is to cede Xiushui County to Jingzhou, which makes Jiangdong gritt his teeth. In recent years, Jiangdong attacked Jingzhou every time, and the only time Jingzhou attacked Jiangdong was done by Liu Qi. Moreover, Jiangdong lost in this war. He not only lost and lost Ai County, but also Xiushui County was occupied by Jingzhou for a long time. The people in the city were moved to Jingzhou, which has always been a scar in Jiangdong. Now Zhuge Liang has uncovered this scar again. How can this make Sun Ce not angry?

Moreover, it is easy for Jingzhou to deal with if only captures Ai County. If even Xiushui County is occupied by Jingzhou, Xiushui County and Ai County form a corner in a long time, it will be a time bomb for Jiangdong.

Zhuge Liang's attitude is extremely obvious. Aren't you going to force Jingzhou to borrow grain? OK, of course, but I will force you Jiangdong to pay a more unbearable price. Although Zhuge Liang has the meaning of paying back the money, anyone can see Zhuge Liang's counterattack against Jiangdong on the bamboo slips.

However, the third requirement made Sun Ce almost angry. The third requirement on the bamboo slip was put forward to Sun Ce. The bamboo slip asked Sun Ce to notify the world to terminate the marriage contract between Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

If you want to say that the first two points also worry about Jiang Dong's face, then this point is ** naked and hit Sun Ce's face again. His wife was robbed. Not only did he not pursue his fault, but he had to announce the world to terminate his marriage contract with his fiance. How could Sun Ce endure this? If it hadn't been for Zhou Yu and others pulling Sun Ce? He immediately led troops to attack Jiangxia and took out Zhuge Liang and smashed ten thousand pieces of corpses.

At this moment, Sun Ce's hatred for Zhuge Liang, whom he had never met was simply hatred. Sun Ce felt that he had never been so angry even when his father was killed.

"My military master said that this was just what he meant. My military master had sent this bamboo slip to Xiangyang for the master's approval. Now it's just the right time for Wu Hou to be ready, so as not to be in a hurry and don't know how to deal with it." Ma Liang, dressed in Confucian clothes, said with a smile without waiting for Sun Ce and others to visit the content on the bamboo slips.
