Chapter 600 The Battle of Jingzhou
"Young master, for today's plan, Xiangyang is in danger. The young master might as well go to Xinye to look for Uncle Liu. If you want Uncle Liu to see the face of the king of Xiangyang, it is the worst, and he will keep the prince unimped." There was a half silence, and the old family suggested without saying anything.
"Okay, you prepare clothes for me immediately. I'm going to see Uncle Liu. My father has worked hard for half of his life to have the situation in Jingzhou today. How can he fall into the hands of the Cai family? I not only want to escape from Xiangyang, but also want to find Uncle Huang to make the decision for me and regain Xiangyang." After listening to the words of his old family, Liu Qi immediately made a decision. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said.
When Liu Qi came to Xinye, he was naturally warmly received by everyone, including Liu Bei.
"The prince can come to Xinye and make Xinye shine. Please come inside the prince." Seeing Liu Qi, Liu Bei said with a smile.
"Uncle, I'm desperate. I'll pay my uncle back and save me." Liu Qi did not be polite to Liu Bei and said directly.
"What is the prince doing? If you have something to say, just say it. I, Liu Bei, can afford such a big gift. Seeing Liu Qi like this, Liu Bei couldn't help looking at Zhuge Liang beside him, and then turned to Liu Qi and said.
"Uncle Huang didn't know anything. My stepmother, Cai, didn't like me. It's not a day or two. Recently, my father is seriously ill. Cai asked Cai Mao to mobilize soldiers and horses. If he wanted to take the opportunity to eradicate me, he had no choice but to come to Xinye. I just asked Uncle Huang to take in and not let my father's lifelong painstaking away by outsiders. " I only heard Liu Qi cry and say.
"This? Liu Bei, the king of Xiangyang, lives in Xinye, but it is not easy to intervene in the internal affairs of Jingzhou. Liu Bei said with an embarrassed face.
"Lord, the king of Xiangyang and the master brothers are compatible, and they also have the same meaning. How can the lord see the flesh and blood of the king of Xiangyang being bullied by others and be indifferent? The lord took the lead for Mr. Liu Qi, not to interfere in the internal affairs of Jingzhou, but to uphold justice for Jingzhou. Now that the King of Xiangyang is seriously ill, the Lord Justice should plan for the King of Xiangyang to protect the children of the King of Xiangyang and the great cause of Jingzhou. Only in this way can he repay the kindness of the King of Xiangyang. At this time, Zhuge Liang suddenly said, the words were sonorous, but he said the high-sounding thing that Liu Bei loved to do.
"That's right. Zhuge Junshi is right. Please ask Uncle Huang to make the decision for me." At this time, Liu Qi saw Zhuge Liang talking for himself and hurriedly answered.
"In this case, I naturally can't stand by and watch. In this case, I will immediately send a letter to contact all kinds of officials in Jingzhou, saying that Liu Bei will uphold justice for the eldest son, so as to avoid the power of Jingzhou. Please help the generals and officials from all walks of life to protect the eldest son to enter Xiangyang. Does the eldest son think it's so good?" After a while, Liu Bei seemed to have made a great decision, and then he said.
"In this case, there will be Uncle Lao." Seeing that Liu Bei finally agreed to stand up for himself, Liu Qi said quickly. However, at this time, Liu Qi has no soldiers or generals in his hands, and everything can only rely on Liu Bei.
However, it is said that since Xiahou Dun was under Liu Biao's command, Liu Biao asked Xiahou Dun to go to Jiangxia to garrison in order to stop the Eastern Wu. After receiving Liu Bei's crusade against Cai, Hou Dun was extremely happy: "Hahaha, Liu Bei, a hypocrite, finally couldn't stand it and wanted to attack Jingzhou. I thought he was really unmoved about Jingzhou? It seems that the time is not ripe enough now.
"Ha ha, it's still General Xia Hou who can see through. Now that Lv Bu has been in the north together, if Liu Bei is afraid again, he will not have a chance to fight against Lv Bu. Taking advantage of Liu Biao's serious illness to take Jingzhou, so that it is possible to compete with Lv Bu. Liu Bei's move is already very bad. It's wrong." Hearing Xiahou Dun's words, a big man next to him said with a smile. This person is none other than Cao Ren, who came to Jingzhou with Xiahou Dun, but has never appeared in front of others.
"In today's plan, should we also send troops to help Liu Bei? I'm afraid it's not easy to take Jingzhou with Liu Bei's strength." Hearing Cao Ren's words, Xiahou Dun nodded and said.
"Ha ha, Liu Bei has endured for so long. Now that he has started, how can he not be fully prepared? What does the general think Liu Bei is most afraid of capturing Jingzhou now?" After listening to Xiahou Dun's words, Cao Ren asked with a smile.
"It's the generals of other counties who are unwilling to help Liu Bei." Xiahou Dun frowned slightly and said.
"No, now Liu Bei has occupied the great righteousness, with Liu Qi's trump card in his hand. Even if the generals of other counties do not want to see Liu Bei come to power, they have no strong reason to oppose it. Therefore, what Liu Bei is most afraid of at this time is not within Jingzhou, but outside Jingzhou." Cao Ren shook his head, and then got up and looked at Jiang Dong and said.
"General means that Jiangdong Sun Quan will take this opportunity to attack Jingzhou?" Seeing the appearance of the grass man, Xiahou Dun asked quickly in his heart.
"Since Sun Ce's death, Jiangdong has been silent for many years, and Sun Quan has worked hard to govern. Now Jiangdong is rich in products, and the soldiers are strong. Sun Quan has also sorted out the power of Jiangdong smoothly. Just waiting for the opportunity, it will expand outward. After Lv Bu in the north unified Hebei, the situation of unifying the world has been a precursor, and naturally it will not be He wanted to intervene when there was chaos in Jingzhou, so Liu Bei wanted to take Jingzhou this time. He wanted to take Xiangyang with lightning speed, and the second was to guard against the sneak attack of Jiangdong and Lv Bu. At this time, Cao Ren turned around in front of Xiahou Dun and said very seriously.
"If so, won't we have to guard Jiangxi and can't go to Xiangyang to help Liu Bei?" After listening to Cao Ren's words, Xiahou Dun frowned and said.
"No, we must participate in the Battle of Xiangyang, otherwise how would Liu Bei know that we were on his side? And it must be kept, and the two are indispensable?" Cao Ren nodded seriously and said.
"Oh, naturalization can only let me stay in Jiangxia. I must be the governor of Jiangxia. On the other side of Xiangyang, I'm going to take a trip." After listening to Cao Ren's explanation, Xiahou Dun finally decided.
However, after Cai learned that Liu Qi went to Xinye and teamed up with Liu Bei to seize the power of Jingzhou, he quickly came to Cai Mao to discuss.
"Liu Qi, a prodigal son, actually found an outsider to deal with me. What do you think should happen now?" Although Cai is cruel, she must be a woman. When she really wants to use a knife, she becomes a little timid.
"Well, Liu Bei is just a man in the mountains. How can a few soldiers and horses in Xinye chat? A certain family will mobilize soldiers and horses to calm Xinye and catch the boy Liuqi back." Hearing that Liu Qi actually joined forces with outsiders to deal with him, Cai Mao stood up and said invinciblely. While Liu Biao was seriously ill, today's Cai Mao has mastered most of the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, which is obviously more confident than before.
"Confused, although you have bought a lot of people, Liu Bei is not a vegetarian. His subordinates Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, which one is not brave? Do you really think you are their opponent?" After listening to Cai Mao's words, Cai Shi glanced at Cai Mao and said angrily.
"This?" After listening to Cai's words, Cai Mao was speechless for a while. Although Cai Mao is now in power and a little inflated, he also knows that he is definitely not the opponent of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. Then he said, "If we don't send troops, can we make trouble with them? I just heard that Liu Bei has contacted the generals of each county. If they unite, what should we do?
"Well, Liu Bei knows how to unite the soldiers and horses of the counties. Don't you know? Tomorrow we will rest assured that Liu Bei's intention is to kidnap the eldest son Liu Qi. We call on the generals of each county to send troops to attack Xinye, so that we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Seeing that Cai Mao didn't have a good idea, he snorted coldly and said.
"Sister, this idea is really good, so let them fight. I'll arrange it now." After saying that, Cai Mao turned around and left.
Just as the situation in Jingzhou was shaken, Lv Bu, who returned to Luoyang soon after, also received the news.
"Hahaha, Liu Bei, you really can't stand it and want to take action against Jingzhou. Well, I will take this opportunity to completely solve the matter of Jingzhou. What do you think?" After getting the news from Jingzhou, Lv Bu quickly summoned the ministers to ask.
"My lord, now that Liu Biao is seriously ill, and Liu Bei wants to take advantage of the chaos to seize Jingzhou. It is the time for our army to take advantage of the chaos to send troops. His subordinates suggested that the lord order General Zhang Liao of Hanzhong to march towards Yizhou at the same time, so that both Yizhou and Jingzhou fell into the hands of the main attack, and the day when the lord unified the world was just around the corner. Seeing that Lv Bu was ready to fight at Jingzhou, Xun Yu next to him came forward and said.
"Ha ha, the lord raised his troops for a thousand days. For a while, General Cao Sheng trained his troops in Hongze Lake for a long time. Mr. Chen Gong built a sea ship in Xuzhou and trained the navy for a period of time. Why didn't the lord mobilize them together and calm Dongwu in one fell swoop while taking Jingzhou and Yizhou. In this way, the lord's great cause of unifying the world. It can be done day and night. At this time, Guo Jia, who was beside him, also stood up and said. Compared with Xun Yu's opinion, Guo Jia is obviously bolder and more courageous.
"Hahaha, both gentlemen come up with good ideas. It seems that your appetite is much bigger than that of me, Lv Bu. Zhang Liao has been in Hanzhong for some time now. It is not difficult for him to take action against Liu Zhang in Yizhou, as long as Jia Xu of Yongzhou can mobilized some people to go to Hanzhong. It's just that although the water army of Hongze Lake and the navy of Xuzhou have been trained for some time, they have never participated in any war. It is not easy to judge the combat effectiveness. These soldiers and horses are not easy to train. I don't want to be buried under the First World War. Well, order Cao Cheng to let his navy with blue flag sail to Jiangdu and attack Jiangdong. At the same time, Chen Gong was asked to send a navy with a blue flag to harass Jiangdong along the coast. In this way, these soldiers and horses can participate in a limited battle, and the whole army will not be destroyed in the first battle. It is certain that the water army in Jiangdong has been an army for many years and well trained, but we are still far inferior. With their attack, Jiangdong Sun Quan must not be able to intervene in the war in Jingzhou. It's not too late for us to take Jingzhou and turn around to deal with Sun Quan. Lv Bu seriously thought about the opinions of Xun Yu and Guo Jia before he said solemnly. In Guo Jia's view, Lv Bu trains the navy. Whether it is the blue flag or the blue flag, the purpose is to prepare for attacking Jiangdong. Therefore, since he wants to take action against Jiangdong at this time, he should use all the navy. Lv Bu's idea is different. For Lv Bu, the navy with the blue flag and the blue flag can not only be used. Jiangdong, there are more distant places waiting for them.
