Chapter 143
Chapter 143
Although the news of Jingzhou's army sending troops made Meng Chen hesitate, it did not shake Meng Chen's confidence in attacking Liu Biao.

Shi A has returned to Chang'an to recuperate, but Mengchen must avenge his enmity.

For the next few days, Meng Chen has been paying attention to the movements of the Jingzhou army, but to his disappointment, Liu Bei has been standing still after arriving in Nanyang.

Such a move made Meng Chen doubtful.

If it is said that Liu Biao is bluffing, it is not impossible, but judging from the number of troops sent, Liu Biao will not give up if he fails to achieve his goal this time.

"Military division, I really can't understand the actions of the Jingzhou army." Meng Chen stared at the map for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the reason.

"Basically, there is deceit in this." Liu Bowen said confidently.

"Cheat? Could it be that the Jingzhou army will fall from the sky?" Meng Chen said subconsciously, but his eyes were attracted by the word Hanshui on the map.

"Military division, is it possible that the Jingzhou army intends to sneak attack from the waterway?"

"Of course! But doing so requires a prerequisite, that is, the lord sends troops to attack Nanyang."

Meng Chen raised his right elbow with his left hand, and touched his chin with his right hand, lost in thought.

After a long time, Meng Chen seemed to have figured out the key points.

"As a military adviser, Liu Bei firmly defends Nanyang and leads a certain army to attack, and then the Jingzhou army raids Shangyong by water and cuts off the retreat?"

"I'm afraid it's more than that!" Liu Bowen continued.

The current situation in the world is complicated and confusing, all the princes are calculating each other, no matter whether it is an ally or an enemy, there is no one who does not want to dominate the world.

Although Liu Bowen used tricks to mobilize all the princes this time, after thinking about it for the past few days, Liu Bowen suddenly discovered that things might be much more complicated.

"My lord, why did Cao Cao raise troops to respond?" Liu Bowen asked back.

"Isn't it because of Liu Bei?"

"It seems so on the surface, but the actual situation is very likely because of the lord!"

Liu Bowen's words immediately plunged Mengcheng into confusion. What do you mean by these words?Is Cao Cao calculating himself?

"But……"

"My lord, please take a look!" Liu Bowen took a step forward, and then pointed to the map.

"Yizhou Liu Zhang, Jingzhou Liu Biao, Jiangdong Sun Ce, plus Cao Cao who controls Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Qingzhou."

Meng Chen's gaze followed Liu Bowen's hand and drew a big circle, which instantly made Meng Chen sober.

"As a military adviser, the four alliances have made a game?"

"From the analysis of the current situation, this is very possible, and the people who plan it are not ordinary people."

Meng Chen who heard the words was silent, when did he become so strong that he needed four alliances to plot against him?

The other three are easy to explain, but how can Cao Cao explain it?

"Originally, such a plan was flawless, but it was a pity that Yuan Shao broke the balance. Now Cao Cao is under Yuan Shao's pressure and has no time for him." Liu Bowen continued to analyze.

"As a military advisor, Yuan Shao helped a lot this time?"

Liu Bowen nodded, if this was the case, Meng Chen didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

I don't seem to have offended anyone on weekdays, why is there such a situation.

"My lord reopened the Protectorate of the Western Regions and established the Penguin Chamber of Commerce. Too much gold and silver flowed to Chang'an, and the princes of all walks of life must be jealous."

"Ben Hou thought he was acting in a low-key manner, but he didn't expect to be missed by others. If this is the case, how can we break the situation?"

"If you don't have him, just do your tricks!"

Five days later, Meng Chen personally led the army to head towards Nanyang, hunting banners and flags along the way, fearing that the scouts of the Jingzhou Army would not find their target.

However, the actual situation is that Mengchen only led 5 horses, and the number decreased by [-] every night.

Until reaching the border of Nanyang, the so-called army in Meng Chen's hands only had 3 horses left.

And the rest of the people sneaked back to Shangyong along the path.

"Pass down the order to set up camp thirty miles away from Nanyang."

After entering the territory of Nanyang, Meng Chen hastily issued the general order to set up camp.

Such a move, although Liu Bei was a little disappointed, but the purpose has been achieved.

As long as Meng Chen's retreat is cut off, Liu Bei will immediately send troops to attack Meng Chen!

In Shangyong City, the soldiers and horses who returned quietly waited quietly.

"Military Master, there is news from Yebuju that the Jingzhou Navy was found on the Han River." Gan Ning made two steps in three steps, telling the news that had just arrived.

"General Gan, prepare to welcome the distinguished guests."

Liu Bowen said something with a smile, but a cold light shot out from his eyes.

Ever since he made up his plan to do whatever he can, Gan Ning has become Meng Chen's first choice to stay at Shangyong.

After all, in his own army, only Gan Ning was familiar with the tactics of the navy.

The commander of the Jingzhou navy that attacked Shangyong this time was none other than Gan Ning's old acquaintance Huang Zu.

Why do you say that?Just because Gan Ning plundered Huang's caravan in Yizhou.

And Huang Zu even cleared the relationship between Yizhou and cleared the payment everywhere, so that Gan Ning could not return home.

The enemy was extremely jealous when they met, and when Gan Ning learned that the general in command of Jingzhou was Huang Zu, the anger in his eyes burst out instantly.

"My sons and daughters, Huang Zu made us homeless. If the lord hadn't taken us in, we don't know where we would fall into bandits. Today Huang Zu attacked Shangyong, what should we do?"

"Kill Huang Zu, kill Huang Zu!"

"Okay! Although there are only [-] private soldiers in this navy commander, this battle must earn the reputation of the Xiliang Navy."

Gan Ning's three or two sentences stirred up the morale of the three hundred bell soldiers, and Liu Bowen, who was watching, kept nodding his head.

"General Gan, my lord has always said that good steel should be used on the blade, and you must follow the plan."

"Military commander, don't worry, wake up!"

After saying this, Gan Ning led three hundred bell soldiers and quietly left from the east gate of Shangyong.

On the Han River, since Huang Zu got the news that Meng Chen led the army to set off, he led an army of [-] sailors to travel day and night.

As long as Shangyong is captured, Meng Chen will become the turtle in the urn.

Thinking of Shangyong who defended empty, Huang Zu couldn't help laughing out loud!

"General, the warship is coming to shore."

"The general's order is passed down. After the army lands on the shore, it will go straight to Shangyong. It is not necessary to take down Shangyong before dark."

"promise!"

Huang Zu was full of confidence, and the Jingzhou navy was even more triumphant.

Although the Xiliang cavalry is strong, they cannot fight on water.

In Jingzhou, when it comes to water warfare, if Huang Zu dares to be the second, no one dares to be the first.

When Huang Zu's army arrived at the foot of Shangyong City, the city gate was opened, but the guards at the gate turned around and ran away without any intention of closing the city gate.

"Hahaha, Xiliang rats, sons and daughters, go to the city!"

Huang Zu laughed loudly, pointed the steel knife in his hand forward, and the Jingzhou water army around him swarmed towards the city gate.

Seeing that he was about to pass through the city gate, Huang Zu suddenly found that there was an extra city in front of him, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
