Chapter 657 Jiangling, Guan Yu Town

Although Liu Bei is not very satisfied with the selection of Wei Yan, it is quite good for Yu to guard Jiangling.

Zhuge Liang is also promoting new generals in the army. In the past, in Liu Bei's army, the generals were respected by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Others only want to develop, but they can only under the status of the two. This is okay when there is no troops in Liu Bei's hands. Once Liu Bei really develops, this is bound to become one in the army. If there is no injection of fresh blood, an army will become dead and inactive. I'm afraid it will be difficult for such a team to win.

No matter how high the general's martial arts skills are, he is just the courage of the man. The generals in front of the battle can play a role in stimulating the soldiers, but this role is minimal for the situation left and right battlefield, unless the generals of the other party are greedy and afraid of death.

Besides, on the battlefield, people know that they can't beat you alone. They can fight in groups or put cold arrows behind their backs. There is no need to rush forward with blood.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are the champion of the three armies, not the three armies. Once such a person becomes the commander-in-chief of the first army, sometimes the mistakes he makes will be fatal to the whole army. Although Liu Bei temporarily owns Jingzhou, he has no talents under him. Only Zhuge Liang and Sun Qian are only a few people, and he will expand. It is bound to face the dilemma of no one's governance.

Compared with Luoyang, the imperial palace in Jingzhou has shrunk many times. The background of many generations of emperors in Zhuoyang is comparable to that of Jingzhou, and the construction of palaces costs a lot of human and material resources. What's more, just after Liu Biao died, the construction of the mausoleum is also a large expense.

"In the Holy, Guo Da, the general of Yuzhou, betrayed Cao's army. The rebel soldiers of the Liang Dynasty occupied Yuzhou without blood. Now they are fighting with the Cao army in Nanyang County, which is in full swing. If there is a loss in Nanyang County, Jingzhou will be in danger. The rebels of the Liang Kingdom are all fierce tigers. I hope the saints will prepare early." Liu Bei bowed down and worshipped, and then said slowly that he was a real power figure in the court. Even Emperor Liu Qi personally ordered that Liu Bei could not worship in the hall. Even in the upper court, he could bring a sword. This kind of treatment, looking at all generations, is also few people.

The intelligence network of Jingzhou's family can't be ignored. As early as after the Xiliang Army captured Yuzhou, they got the news and secretly planned it. In the view of the Jingzhou family, Liu Bei has always been an outsider and is not worth entrusting it. It is convenient for his own people to discuss. On the surface, Liu Qi is the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the soldier in his hand. There are no more than tens of thousands of horses, no more than a few generals, and I don't have any talent. On the contrary, I am greedy for the beauty of the harem and singing at night. For a short time, I'm afraid I will be completely lost in wine and sex.

The Xiliang army is full of tigers and wolves. These Jingzhou families also understand that Cai Mao has undoubtedly become a figure at the forefront of the storm at this time. No matter how powerful the Cai family is, the Cai family has a relative relationship with the emperor of Liang. To put it bluntly, Cai Mao is a relative of the emperor after Luoyang. Jingzhou will not lose it. It is said that there is no impact. After Jingzhou is in the hands of the Xiliang Army, the status of the Cai family will only be higher.

"So, from the general's opinion, what should I do?" Liu Qi's tone was a little panicked. He rarely dealt with political affairs. Since he became a saint and lost his initial curiosity, he began to live a miserable life. He didn't care about the government. Many things were handled by Liu Bei. In the court, Liu Bei could be said to be full of his hands and eyes. Who let Liu Bei assist Liu Qi to become emperor and repay him for his kindness. The power given by Liu Qi to Liu Bei has reached the limit of ministers.

"Sheng Shang, Xiliang Army, Tiger and Wolf, and Cao's Army is the same. Now the two armies are fighting fiercely, and it is difficult to divide their forces to attack Jingzhou in a short period of time. We should strengthen the urban defense of Nanjun and Jiangling as soon as possible and dispatch fierce generals to station their advisers in the two places."

No one responded in the court, and even the eyes looking at Liu Bei were a little disdainful. This was very nice. Next, Liu Bei must be planting people in Nanjun and Jiangling. These officials definitely can't let Liu Bei be happy.

In terms of soldiers and horses, there are only 20,000 people in Liu Bei's hands, and more military power is in the hands of the Cai family and the Kuai family. After the previous changes, the Cai family firmly controls the military power in their hands and owns the Jingzhou water army. Cai Mao's strength should not be underestimated, even more than when Liu Biao was alive

"Well, the general's words are very true. I don't know if the general has a suitable candidate?" Liu Qi has long been not interested in this kind of court meeting. She just wants to go back to the harem and enjoy the beauties as soon as possible. The beautiful maid Liu Biao chose before, but she is old and powerless. They are all cheap to Liu Qi, a lustful person.

"General Wei Yan is a fierce general in the army, and he has many strategies. He can guard Nanjun and resist the Xiliang Army. General Guan Yu bravely crowns the three armies and can guard Jiangling." Liu Beidao.

The officials in the court looked at Liu Bei puzzledly and placed Guan Yu in Jiangling. The meaning was obvious. Jiangling was an important place for Jingzhou to hoard grain and grass. Once occupied, there was grain and grass in his hand. Even if something big happened, he did not panic. Wei Yan, obviously a general of the Kui family. Was Liu Bei showing his goodwill to the Kuo family? There is still another deep meaning.

"Weichen disagreed. Jiangling is an important place in Jingzhou. General Zhang Yun has always been responsible for guarding, and there are fierce generals such as Liu Pan in the city. Even if the Xiliang army invades, he is not afraid. As for the high wall of Nanjun and thick, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city. General Wei can bear the heavy responsibility." Kwei Liang frowned slightly and said slowly.

The rest of the officials also echoed.

Now the situation in Jingzhou is uniformly xenophobic. It is best to drive Liu Bei out of Jingzhou. They really can't figure out why Liu Biao wanted Liu Bei to be stationed in Xinye at the beginning, and Pingbai added an enemy to Jingzhou's officials.

With the support of Liu Qi, these officials can only do some small actions secretly. Liu Bei's military strength is limited, and he still relies more on the family.

After the continuous debate in the court, Guan Yu was finally selected as the guard of Jiangling. As for how many soldiers will obey Guan Yu's order after its implementation, another matter. Liu Bei's influence in Xiangyang is very large, but in specific places, everything is up to the family. If you want to empty Guan Yu, only It's a matter of one sentence.

Liu Bei gave Guan Yu 2,000 soldiers and horses, took 10,000 soldiers from the city and went to Jiangling. This time, Guan Yu's task was not only to guard Jiangling, but also to recruit elite soldiers and generals for Liu Bei. What the family did not expect was that Liu Bei would pull out so many soldiers and horses from the city to give it to Guan Yu. Liu Bei's troops were Limit, if you mobilize so many people to Jiangling, won't you take care of Xiangyang?

"Brother, Liu Bei asked Guan Yu to stay in Jiangling. Guan Yu is very brave and resourceful. I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with."

"It doesn't matter. The general in Jiangling City is Liu Pan. It is said that when he was in Jiangling that day, Liu Pan was quite dissatisfied with Liu Bei. He provoked one or two from it and let Guan Yu isolate him in Jiangling City." The look of a Zhizhu holding in his hand.

Jingzhou mobilized soldiers and horses. Naturally, he did not hide Jia Rong's eyes, but he was not in a hurry. The situation in Jingzhou was complicated. The Cai family had the support of the water army. The Kuai family had a lot of people in the army, and the family occupied the court. As expected, there would be a change in Jingzhou sooner or later. This Change is the time for Liang Guo to attack Jingzhou.

Take down Nanyang County and fight against Cao Jun in Dong County at the same time. Yuzhou has been pocketed, and all the combat goals have been achieved. At this time, it is just a test of the ability of its generals. If an army wants to maintain a constant victory and undefeated, it must find talents anytime and anywhere, like Wuhuan Weilan, although it is a foreign race, Ben His physical ability is not much inferior to that of Huang Zhong, and Jia Rong is not afraid to use it. Now Weilan is already a general in the army, and the generals in Hanoi County this time have him.

In January, the Xiliang Army outside Nanyang County almost never stopped attacking. They didn't care about the casualties of the soldiers. On and off the city, it was faintly black, which was the effect of blood coagulation.

Twenty thousand Cao's army, almost no one without injury, is still fighting in the city under the leadership of Cao Chun and Li Dian. The reason why Cao's army can be invincible is that the whole army can gather together invisibly. When defending the city, the soldiers use their lives.

In those years, Cao Cao recruited many outlaws in the Yellow Turban Army. When these people went to war, they did not pay attention to life and death. They stepped on the corpses of their companions, and they were completely able to change their faces.

The situation in Nanyang County is critical, and the East County is also not much better. 40,000 Xiliang troops fought against 50,000 Cao troops, one inside and outside the city, facing each other in this way.

The cavalry of the Xiliang Army wandered on the battlefield every day, capturing intelligence. The elite cavalry once made Cao's army afraid to send cavalry to the battlefield.

At this time, Cao Cao also sent his most proud advisor Xun Yu to the East County to help defend the city and must resist the Xiliang Army.

In half a month, in the face of the challenge of the Xiliang Army, Cao Jun stood still. The main reason was that the gate did not dare to open it easily. In his letter, Xia Houdun talked about the power of the Xiliang Army's weapon. The guards in the city did not dare to slack off at all. Even Xun Yu, who had a gully in his chest, was also cautious. His hand is Huang Zhong, a veteran, and he is under a lot of pressure.

Huang Zhong is a general, but since his debut, he has had a great record. Although he is old, he is not old, and he can fight and command the army. Such a character is definitely a strong enemy, and the older the general is, the more he will consider. Otherwise, there will be no Jiang or old.

But Xun Yu is not a simple figure. He has 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hand. No matter what means the Xiliang army has, as long as he attacks the city, he will never please him. Even a thousand soldiers and horses are stationed not far from each gate, and he is ready to fight with the Xiliang army entering the city at any time. Such a defense can definitely be called strict, even if When the gate was opened, the defenders could immediately react and regain control of the gate.

No matter how strict the defense is, it is not difficult for masters such as Wang Yue. At best, after climbing the wall, be careful. After entering and leaving the city many times, it has not been found by the defenders.
