Chapter 608 Jingzhou Strategy
"In Kualiang, in Kuayue, I don't know if the Regent summons us two. What can I do?" Seeing that Lv Bu asked about the two of them, Kui Liang and Kui Yue hurried forward and saluted Lv Bu.
"I, Lv Bu, have heard about the names of the two gentlemen. Please come with me?" With that, Lv Bu turned around and walked to the inner hall of Xiangyang Palace. Today's Xiangyang Palace, and even the whole city of Xiangyang, has been controlled by Lv Bu. Naturally, Lv Bu regarded Xiangyang Palace as his own home.
When he came to a room, Lv Bu turned around and looked at the two people in front of him. He smiled and said, "Since I came to Jingzhou, the purpose is to occupy Jingzhou. I don't know if the two gentlemen have contributed to me?"
Hearing Lv Bu's words, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue looked at each other with a wry smile, and then said to Lv Bu, "I am originally a Han minister. It is naturally duty-bound to contribute to the court."
"I know that the two gentlemen are loyal, so I brought the two gentlemen here to talk. Now that I have limited strength, it is really difficult to occupy the whole Jingzhou. Please give me some advice." Although Lv Bu arrived with his own yellow flag and yellow flag; Erxiangyang, Lv Bu's army has not yet arrived in Jingzhou, and the soldiers and horses of Zhang He Pangtong and others did not know where they had arrived at this time. If Lv Bu wants to control the situation in Jingzhou, he naturally needs to negotiate with Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue. First, he can investigate one. The loyalty of the next two people, if the situation in Jingzhou can be stabilized, for Lv Bu, it is equivalent to taking a step towards unifying China.
"The regent clearly sees that most of the people with face in Jingzhou are already in this Xiangyang City. The regent only needs to explain the interests to them and appease them. Naturally, they know the importance. After that, the regent only needs to fight against those who have bad intentions. Naturally, the counties of Jingzhou dare not make a difference." Seeing Lv Bu asking, Kai Liang thought for a while and finally said.
"Sir is right. Arbitrary can indeed be supported by everyone, but this alone is obviously not enough to deter everyone. It requires kindness and power, but I don't know who is the evil person you said?" After listening to Kuai Liang's words, Lv Bu nodded and agreed. However, if he wants to suppress the people and horses in Jingzhou counties, Lv Bu still needs some thunderous means. Only in this way can he knock on the mountain and shock the tiger. In order to eat the stability of Jingzhou, he knows that Zhang He and other reinforcements are coming.
"Xin Ye Liu Bei has always liked to buy people's hearts, and the eldest son Liu Qi is in his hand. He has always been coveted by Jingzhou. If the regent can eliminate Lv Bu, I believe that no one in Jingzhou dares to disovince." Hearing Lv Bu continue to ask, Kau Liang continued.
Hearing Kua Liang's words, Lv Bu nodded, and then turned his head to look at Kua Yue beside him and asked, "Sir, do you think the same thing? I don't know if you have any high opinion?"
"Why is it so troublesome for the regent to deter Jingzhou? When Liu Biao first came to Jingzhou, he had neither money, food nor soldiers and horses, and he could prosper from the nine counties of Jingzhou, with the power of 200,000. The regent now has soldiers and horses in his hand, and there is a brigade of reinforcements that can be reached at any time. Why do you have to be so troublesome? Seeing that Lv Bu asked about himself, Kai Yue didn't want to be compared with Kai Liang like this. After thinking about it, he opened his mouth and said.
"Ha ha, sir's words are impressive to me. Since you have a good idea, please tell me in detail." Lv Bu also smiled when he heard Kai Yue's words and asked. Kai Liang and Kai Yue are not only brothers, but also very important figures in Jingzhou. If they act together, they are likely to set off a big wave in Jingzhou. You should know that the reason why Liu Biao was able to govern Jingzhou without soldiers and money is because of the help of Kailiang and Cai Mao. Now I see that Kailiang and Kai Yue are here. Lv Bu was happy to compete for each other's favor in front of him. As long as these old ministers in Jingzhou were at odds with each other, Jingzhou would be half stable for Lv Bu.
"To the regent, now the heads of most counties in Jingzhou are in Xiangyang City. The regent only needs to leave them in Xiangyang City to entertain them, and at the same time promote their deputies to deal with the affairs of the counties. In this way, these deputies must feel the gratitude of the regent, and these original county heads, The regent only needs to arrange for them to go to Luoyang at the right time, so that Jingzhou can be easily reached. With this support, the regent can mobilize Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, which can be used freely like an arm. Kui Yue bowed to Lv Bu and then said.
"Hahaha, Mr. Guoyue is really talented. Let's leave this matter to Mr. Guoyue. I believe he will satisfy me." Hearing the arrangement of Guo Yue, Lv Bu laughed and had to say that Guo Yue really had some talent, so that he unconsciously changed his blood to the county head of Jingzhou. Those deputy who want to take office will naturally try their best to flatter Lv Bu in order to be corrected by Lv Bu in the future, and take down the original county head and be left in Xiangyang City. Even if they want to do something, there is nothing they can do. And those counties that connect with Liu Bei and support the eldest son Liu Qi, just wait. Let's fight against Lv Bu's soldiers and horses.
Soon after, the news came from the palace of the king of Xiangyang that the king of Xiangyang passed away, and all the heads of counties should guard their filial piety for the king of Xiangyang and could not return to the county, and everything in the original county was temporarily replaced by the deputy.
After dealing with local affairs, Lv Bu naturally began to deal with the military affairs of Jingzhou. Liu Biao has been in Jingzhou for many years and has established 200,000 soldiers and horses. Although this army is not very strong, it resists Sun Quan and Yuan Shu in Jiangdong for Liu Biao. In their cracks, Liu Biao has gained the control of the nine counties of Jingzhou. Power, if Lv Bu wants to unify the world, he must send troops like Jiangdong, and Lv Bu's water army is less war, and he also hopes to take over the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, so as to take the initiative in the future battle against Jiangdong.
"In Xia Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, see the regent." At Lv Bu's call, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun came to Lv Bu and knelt down and said.
"The master bedroom of the two generals won Jingzhou. I need to reward the two generals, but I just don't know what the two generals are good at?" Seeing the arrival of the two people, Lv Bu nodded and then said.
"To the regent, we have been fighting in the Yangtze River for a long time, and we are both good at water warfare." Cai Mao and Zhang Yun looked at each other. Although they didn't know the purpose of Lv Bu's question, Lv Bu was a famous general from Bingzhou. He had been skillful since he was a child. In front of Lv Bu, they naturally did not dare to claim that they were good at cavalry or marching troops. With their understanding of cavalry and marching troops, they obviously could not be ranked in Lv Bu's army. It is impossible to be reused by Lv Bu. After thinking about it, the two talked about the navy with one voice. Compared with Lv Bu's army, they can only feel that this is their strengths, and the fact is the same. The two often lead the navy and the Jiangdong navy to fight. Although they have a chance to win or lose each other, they can also draw with Jiangdong.
"It's so good that a family wants to attack Jiangdong. I'm worried that no one can lead the water army. You two will take over the Jingzhou water army. At the same time, recruit new soldiers and train 100,000 water troops for me, so that you can fight on the Yangtze River with the Jiangdong Water Army in the next day. Are you two willing?" Hearing the two people say that he was good at the navy, Lv Bu continued.
"Although we died, we thought the regent was loyal." During this period, the two were trapped in Xiangyang City. Although there were no restrictions on movement, there were always people staring at them. The other two felt like house arrest. At this time, when it came to Lv Buxin's appointment, the two were immediately relaxed. It was impossible to train the navy in Xiangyang City, which means that the two could finally get Lv Bu's trust and leave. Xiangyang.
"It's so good that I appointed Cai Mao as the commander-in-chief of the water army and Zhang Yun as the deputy commander-in-chief of the water army to train the water army for me." After saying that, Lv Bu waved his big hand and became an official for the two. However, since both of them are generals of the navy, the soldiers and horses in the Xiangyang area in the past were naturally accepted by Lv Bu's men. In this way, Xiangyang and the surrounding counties were completely controlled by Lv Bu. As for other counties, as long as there is no clear statement. Against Lv Bu, Lv Bu was not in a hurry to deal with them. When the reinforcements arrived, these places would naturally fall into Lv Bu's hands.
However, Zhuge Liang and Shan Fu returned to Xinye and saw Liu Guanzhang waiting anxiously.
"Master Lv Bu really came to Jingzhou. I don't know how many soldiers he led?" Seeing Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang didn't have time to be polite and asked directly.
"I only saw Dian Wei and Xu Chu under Lv Bu, and I didn't see any other generals." Liu Bei thought about it seriously and then said.
"So Lv Bu only brings a small team of soldiers and horses, and there is no army to suppress the situation. In this way, we may not have time." Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and then said.
"What is the meaning of military? Is it too late?" Liu Bei was a little puzzled.
"Lv Bu has few soldiers. Lv Bu came to Jingzhou. Jingzhou is bound to have many things. Xinye City is small and can't deal with Lv Bu. Therefore, he suggested that the master immediately lead the soldiers and horses in Xinye City to evacuate in order to preserve his strength. In addition, when Lv Bu arrives in Jingzhou, the situation in Jingzhou will be chaotic, but because it is an opportunity for our army, our army can take this opportunity to send troops to Xiangyang. Maybe there will be unexpected gains. Zhuge Liang thought for a moment, and then said.
"Does the military division want to take advantage of the chaos to take Xiangyang?" Hearing Zhuge Liang's proposal, Liu Bei couldn't help but be a little moved.
"Yes, but there is little chance of success in this battle. Lv Bu's soldiers and horses came, Zhang Yun was defeated, and Xiangyang must be in chaos. If I'm not wrong, Lv Bu's goal is probably Xiangyang. When we go there this time, we need to compare the speed with Lv Bu and see who is faster. Zhuge Liang gritted his teeth and continued.
"To the lord, many people in Xinye knew that we were going to leave, and they also brought their families to come, saying that they would swear to follow the lord to the death." At this time, a soldier ran over and reported to Liu Bei.
