The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 376 Liu Xiao's Command

"What did you say!"

Liu Bei jumped up immediately, and said anxiously, "You said Cao Cao would reconcile with Liu Xiao? How is that possible!"

Liu Bei is really impatient. If Cao Cao really shakes hands with Liu Xiao, then he will have to face Liu Xiao's huge military pressure alone. In comparison, Liu Xiao's army has experienced hundreds of battles. Starting with Yuan Shao, they fought Yuan Shao three times, Cao Cao twice, and Yuan Shu twice. In addition, they also fought against themselves and Lu Bu once. The demon king killed from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, how can these raw melon eggs under his command be compared? It doesn't matter if the Jingzhou army arrives, most of the Jiangdong army are newly recruited soldiers, and the training has not been long, and the war is even worse. I haven't experienced it much, and it's an out-and-out raw melon egg!
Pang Tong smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, I don't want Cao Cao to break his promise and make peace with Liu Xiao alone, but now it seems that there is still a possibility of Cao Cao making peace with Liu Xiao, otherwise, how could Liu Xiao mobilize so quickly?" Fifteen thousand Jizhou fine cavalry? This is Liu Xiao's trump card cavalry, and its combat power is extremely powerful! Without this cavalry, it is almost impossible for Liu Xiao to completely defeat Cao Cao..."

"Humph!"

Liu Bei snorted coldly and said, "If Cao Cao dares to make peace with Liu Xiao alone, I will never die with him. Liu Xiao is not easy to mess with, and I, Liu Bei, are also not easy to mess with! No way, I want to leave Xiangyang and fight all the way to Xudu! "

"My lord..."

Gu Yong, who joined the army on the side, said with a wry smile: "If Cao Cao really negotiated peace with Liu Xiao, then Liu Xiao will concentrate all his troops to Xuzhou. At that time, we are already powerless to deal with Liu Xiao. You can have extra energy to attack Cao Cao!"

Liu Bei's face darkened, and he looked at Pang Tong again.

Pang Tong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "My Lord, we can't make a conclusion at this time, so there is no need to worry too much. However, we must also take precautions. Once the main force of Liu Xiaozhen's army goes south to Xuzhou, how can we withstand Liu Xiaozhen's army? Xiao brought tremendous pressure."

"What's your plan?"

Liu Bei asked.

Pang Tong replied: "My lord, immediately send a large number of cavalry scouts all the way to the northwest to inquire about the news of Yue Fei's main army. If there is any enemy situation, report back immediately, and send secret agents to Ruyin and Xudu to inquire about Cao Cao's news." Second, once we get the news that Liu Xiao's main army is going south, we must concentrate our forces and shrink the front line in a short time. Our goal is to defend Huainan County and completely connect Jiangdong and Jingzhou. All can be returned to Liu Xiao, as long as Liu Xiao is willing to stop the attack; second, order Jingzhou and Jiangdong to mobilize troops and prepare to meet the army. And the Huaihe River, keep our territory; third, Nanyang and Nanjun, this is the territory that Cao Cao promised us, now we have won most of Xuzhou, and successfully attracted Yue Fei's elite riders, and it's time for us to take over Nanyang County It's over! Finally!"

Pang Tong gritted his teeth and said: "Just in case, we can send envoys to Xudu immediately to meet Cao Cao. Regardless of whether Cao Cao has made peace with Liu Xiao or not, we must ensure that Cao Cao exerts the greatest military pressure on Liu Xiao to reduce our pressure. Pressure, at all costs!"

Pang Tong knew that, relying only on the power of his own family, if he really started a full-scale war with Liu Xiao, he would definitely not be Liu Xiao's opponent. The gap in strength between the two sides is too great!
Liu Bei's heart trembled slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Shi Yuan, is this necessary?"

Pang Tong replied: "My lord, we must ensure that Cao Cao and Liu Xiao are still in the war. No matter what the price, even if we don't give up Nanyang, we must ensure our alliance with Cao Cao. Either one of our two families will face Liu Xiao alone." , are definitely not Liu Xiao's opponents, only the alliance can withstand Liu Xiao's threat!"

No more Nanyang?
Liu Bei felt a burst of pain, and said anxiously: "Shiyuan, that's Nanyang County. The population of Nanyang County is nearly one million, more than the sum of Xiangyang and Jingzhou counties. Don't want Nanyang, this is for us. , the price is too high!"

Pang Tong smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, compared with Yangzhou and Jingzhou, what is Nanyang? If Cao Cao really makes peace with Liu Xiao, we will be alone with Liu Xiao. When Liu Xiao's 10,000+ army goes south, we can resist it. Can we stop Liu Xiao's attack? Whether it's the fall of Jingzhou or the fall of Jiangdong, it's something we can't bear! The most important thing is to unite the two families and hold Liu Xiao back!"

Liu Bei hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, and shouted: "In this case, Mr. Gu Yong, please go to Xudu to meet Cao Cao immediately. No matter what, you must persuade Cao Cao to continue to use troops against Liu Xiao, and leave immediately! Send an order to Yun Chang and Wenchang, attack Xuzhou City with all their strength, and strive to take Xuzhou City in the shortest possible time. As long as Xuzhou City is taken down, the entire south of the Huaihe River in Xuzhou will fall into our hands, even if Liu Xiao leads the army in person. Come on, we can also rely on the Huaihe River and use the water army to fight against Liu Xiao!"

Liu Bei doesn't know anything at two hundred and five. Compared with Liu Xiao, Liu Bei's biggest reliance now is the powerful navy. Whether it is in the Yangtze River or the Huaihe River, relying on the navy and warships can block Liu Xiao's attack. Bingfeng!
It's just that Pang Tong and Liu Bei regretted it a little now, but it was too late. After all, Yue Fei has already started to act.

In Qiaojun, Yue Fei led his [-] to [-] troops and advanced lightly. They had crossed Ruyin and arrived in the east of Qiaojun. They were only a hundred or ten miles away from entering Peijun.

Yue Fei received Liu Xiao's military order and dared not neglect it. After all, no one knew how long Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun could support the pillar. Under the siege of Liu Bei's [-] troops, Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun's strength was too weak.

While marching, a fast horse rushed up like lightning, and arrived in front of Yue Fei in the blink of an eye.

The visitor dismounted from his horse and cupped his hands towards Yue Fei, saying, "The last general, Xu Xing, visited the Governor, the lord has an order, ordering the Governor to lead the main forces under his command not to enter Pei County, but to go all the way to the south, straight into Huainan County, detour behind Liu Bei, and take the lead first." Go to Huainan County!"

Yue Fei frowned, and immediately understood that the lord's vision is really vicious. Marching into Huainan will not only separate Jingzhou from Jiangdong, but also cut off Liu Bei's retreat route, making it difficult for Liu Bei to take care of both ends. However, in this way, the pressure on Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun is too great. I don't know how long they can hold on...

"The Grand Governor"

Xu Xing said in a deep voice: "Now my lord has led his army all the way to the south, and will soon reach the south of Jiyin. In less than four days, we will definitely reach Xiaopei. My lord wants the governor not to worry about Xiaopei and Xuzhou. Just cut off Liu Bei's return path!"
