The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 225
Not only Liu Xiao, but even Xun You were a little shocked. This time, Liu Biao was frightened by how determined he was to fight the lord to the death. The two had never had any deep hatred, and they were even relatives of the Han family, brothers of the same clan. Has Liu Biao got water in his head?

Xun You sighed: "My lord, Liu Biao has been in the nine counties of Jingxiang for many years. Although he can't live and work in peace and contentment under his rule, it is also a rare pure land for a big man. In the past ten years, not only has there been no damage, but even many refugees from the Central Plains have entered the land. Jingzhou has greatly increased the strength of Jingzhou. Although Liu Jingsheng only owns the land of Jingzhou, his strength is not inferior to Yuan Shao. Now it seems that Liu Biao has made up his mind to fight us. If you want to turn the tide of the battle, you have to go through a lot of twists and turns..."

Liu Xiao frowned slightly, thinking about countermeasures.

Zhou Yu on the side smiled and said, "Master, although the current situation is very unfavorable to us, it is not without chance"...

Liu Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Gong Jin, what do you mean by that?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "My lord, Liu Biao is indeed powerful, but he only owns one state. No matter how strong he is, he is by no means an opponent of the three states of Ji, Qing, and Xu. Now Liu Bei has sneaked into the six counties of Jiangdong and brought him out from Jingzhou. 1 troops, and then Liu Biao sent Cai Maowen to send troops to Huainan County, and sent more than 9 troops, plus the more than [-] troops brought by Huang Zhong and Liu Pan this time, this is already [-] to [-]. It can be said that the troops under Liu Biao's command have almost all entered the counties in the east of the Yangtze River. The defense of Jingzhou, especially the defense of the north and west, is like paper. Once a force attacks the north of Jingzhou, Then Liu Biao has no soldiers and no generals, so the Jingxiang Nine Counties have not turned upside down?"

Liu Xiao's heart was shocked, he suddenly became enlightened, he laughed and said: "Haha, Gong Jin, you just woke up the dreamer with one word, Liu Biao transferred all his main forces to the six counties in Jiangdong, and the nine counties in Jingxiang were already empty. I can run away from mice, I just need to send out a force to enter Jingzhou, Liu Biao will not be dumbfounded?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Exactly, but, my lord, where did your soldiers come from?"

Liu Xiao froze slightly, yes, where did the troops come from? Now he is confronting Liu Bei, Gao Chong Fengxiao is confronting Cai Mao in the north, Xuzhou has not many troops, as for Qingzhou and Jizhou, there are quite a few troops, but Qingzhou Jingzhou is two to three thousand miles away from Jizhou. Even if it is day and night, it will take a month or two for the army to reach Jingzhou.

Zhou Yu stretched out his hand, put the map on the desk, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, now our main force and Liu Biao and Liu Bei's main force are concentrated to the east of the Yangtze River. If we want to attack Jingzhou, we can't go south. We don't have the troops. The second is that it is too far from Liu Biao's heartland; the west is not possible, and the west is Liu Yan's territory in Yizhou. It is impossible for us to cross the entire Jingzhou and attack from the west; as for the east, we are currently in a confrontation, and Liu Bei will not give We have the chance to cross the Yangtze River calmly and attack Jiangxia and even Changsha; the only thing left is the north. What we have to do now is to mobilize a force to cross the Yangtze River from the north of Huainan County and go straight into Jiangxia!"

"Gongjin, as you said, what about the military strength? Where do we get the military strength?"

Xun You asked.

Zhou Yu said calmly: "Gongda, don't forget, my lord has just mobilized [-] troops from Qingzhou. Now the nine counties of Jingxiang are empty. The [-] troops are enough to turn the nine counties of Jingxiang upside down... …”

Xun You's face darkened, and he said, "You want Guan Hai's 1-odd troops to attack Jingzhou? How is that possible? Guan Hai is only a warrior, and he can do enough to charge into the battle. He is far behind in commanding the three armies to attack the city! Although Jingzhou's defense is empty , but Liu Biao still has Zhang Yun, Huang Zu and other generals by his side, relying on his familiarity with Jingzhou's geography, he can easily defeat Guan Hai!"

Liu Xiao nodded and said: "Gong Jin, what Gong Da said is good, don't talk about Guan Hai, even if I let Gao Chong go in person, I don't feel at ease, alas, I was careless this time, if Peng Ju was here, it wouldn't be like this passive……"

Zhou Yu bowed and said, "My lord, if you trust Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu is willing to serve my lord and lead an army to cross the Yangtze River and attack Jingzhou!"

Liu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed and laughed: "Haha, Gongjin, of course I want it very much. Gongjin has been in Jiangnan for a long time and is very familiar with the geography of Jiangnan. All the heroes in Jingxiang are also under Gongjin's control. Among them, if Gong Jin takes action, he will surely return in triumph!"

Liu Xiao sneered and said, "Gongda, don't say that Huainan County has not been completely occupied yet, so what if all of it is captured? Even if the six Jiangdong counties are lost, so what, after all, the Jiangdong six counties are not our foundation. With the six counties in hand, we hold Jiqing and Xu Sanzhous in our hands, and we can still stand out from the crowd; but once Liu Biao loses Jingzhou, he will have no foothold anymore. I want to see how he will deal with our bottom line! As long as Gongjin In Jingzhou, Liu Biao made a huge disturbance, and Liu Biao had to strictly order the Jingzhou army to withdraw. Liu Bei alone, how can he be our opponent? Even this time, we wiped the rabbits on the ground, and even Liu Biao was cleaned up!"

Xun You immediately realized that although the six counties of Jiangdong had dangerous mountains and rivers, for the lord, they were indeed not a lifeline that must be defended. However, the nine counties of Jingxiang were different. If there was any trouble in the nine counties of Jingxiang, Liu Biao would be there. Absolutely sleepless nights!
Liu Xiao shouted: "The order ordered Gongjin to be the governor of the three armies in the east of the Yangtze River, with Zhao Yun as his deputy, commanding [-] troops from the Guanhai Department, and ordering Cheng Pu and Huang Gai to lead Bofu's old troops to help and cross the Yangtze River from the mouth of the Yangtze River. , entered Jiangxia County, and approached Xiangyang, I want to see how Liu Biao can resist Gongjin and Zilong's army!"

Zhou Yu's literary and military strategy is unparalleled in the world, plus Zhao Yunyong won the three armies, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai are proficient in water warfare, it can be said that this time Liu Xiao put all the weight of this battle on Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun, [-] The force is enough to turn the nine counties of Jingxiang upside down!
Zhou Yu knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, my lord, for your trust. Zhou Yu will definitely live up to my lord's trust!"

Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun took two hundred elite riders to bid farewell to Liu Xiao, and headed northward to Huainan County. This move was really beyond Liu Biao's expectations. He thought that more than 2 troops would attack Huainan County. However, due to the existence of Guo Jia and Gao Chong, it is already difficult for Huainan County to cut off Liu Xiao's retreat. If he reached the sky, instead of being unable to cut off Liu Xiao's back, he completely exposed his back to Liu Xiao!
