The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Among the entire Liu Bei Group, only Guo Jia can compete with Chen Ziming, and the others are a little bit worse, and Liu Bei can only feel at ease if Guo Jia is by his side.

As for Jia Xu, Liu Bei knew that he had great talent, but how powerful he was, no one except Chen Ziming really knew Jia Xu's terror, and Jia Xu had never shown his talent, although Jia Xu also came with him this time, But he didn't get Liu Bei's important task. Liu Bei just gave Jia Xu the same staff position as Jushou.

If Chen Ziming found out, he would have to scold Liu Bei for being a prodigal, and put such a perverted guy aside, what if he got moldy.

"Your Majesty." Guo Jia took a deep breath, adjusted his body, and then said: "Cao Cao came to attack this time, and he definitely wanted a quick victory. After all, his rule is far from that of my big man, and his background is far inferior to my big man."

"Your Majesty should order all the soldiers and horses to avoid their fronts, and they can't defend themselves. After a long time, Cao Cao will definitely run out of food and grass, and his rear will be unstable, so he will retreat." Guo Jia offered advice for Liu Bei. Now Liu Bei's territory is much larger than Cao Cao's, and It is much richer than Cao Cao's side. Over time, Liu Bei, who has a deep foundation, will definitely gain the upper hand gradually, while Cao Cao has a weak foundation, and he is not qualified to compete with Liu Bei at all.

"Very good." Liu Bei nodded gratifiedly, and then ordered all the soldiers and horses to focus on defense, try not to fight Cao Jun, and delay as long as possible.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Sun Ce has sent many generals to attack Linyin Mountain in the east of the Yangtze River recently, and the defenders of Linyin Mountain have suffered great losses." Chen Deng has been paying attention to Guan Yu's army facing Sun Ce's troops in the south of Xuzhou.

"Although Linyin Mountain is dangerous, it is not a pass and cannot be defended." Xu Shu hastily reminded Liu Bei that Linyin Mountain is not a fortress.

"Hey." Liu Bei sighed, and said helplessly: "Sun Ce's 40 troops marched in both water and land, and the onslaught was fierce. Yun Chang only had 30 soldiers and horses, and Gan Ning's [-] sailors were still on the coast of Xuzhou. It's worry."

"Your Majesty." Chen Gui said, "The general is well-mannered, and with the help of Xu Huang and Gao Lan, and the conspiracy of Pang Tong, he can protect the forest and the mountain."

Guan Yu is the No. 1 in the Liu Bei Group's military, and his martial arts and strategy are very good. He also has generals Xu Huang and Gao Lan to help him, and the well-known Pang Tong is planning, and his strength is not weak.

"Brother, why don't I go and help the second brother." Zhang Fei, who had been bored by the side, suddenly asked Liu Bei for his life.

"Huh?" Liu Bei listened to Zhang Fei's words and began to think about it. He also wanted to send troops to reinforce Guan Yu. Although Sun Ce's troops were weaker than Cao Cao's, Liu Bei's main enemy is still Cao Cao, but it is not impossible for Sun Ce to be as famous as Cao Cao. Ordinary people, if there is a mistake in Linyin Mountain, the hundreds of thousands of troops here will face the back and forth attacks of Cao Cao and Sun Ce.

"General Zhang, don't worry." At this moment, Jia Xu, who had been seldom speaking, suddenly said: "Although Sun Ce stormed Linyin Pass on the surface, in my opinion, it was just a bluff, and General Guan will not fail. .”

"Oh?" Liu Bei regained his energy immediately upon hearing this, and hurriedly asked, "Wen He, how should we solve this matter?"

"Your Majesty." After bowing slightly to Liu Bei, Jia Xu said, "Although Sun Ce and Cao Cao join forces to attack my big man, if they repel Your Majesty, Cao Cao will gain the most."

"If your majesty retreats to Xuzhou, Xuzhou will lose too much soldiers and horses, and will be unable to defend Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou and other places. When Cao Cao needs to return to the army and attack various places, his strength will be greatly increased."

"Looking at Sun Ce again, if His Majesty is defeated, he can only go halfway to Xuzhou at most. Compared with Cao Cao, it is far behind. Now Cao Cao is far superior to Sun Ce. If Cao Cao is allowed to grow bigger, it will not be good for Sun Ce."

"Now Sun Ce can only pretend to attack Xuzhou, and then watch Cao Cao and His Majesty fight again. After the two sides lose each other and lose both sides, he can seek benefits from it."

Jia Xu's words stunned everyone in the hall, but many people thought that Jia Xu was just rhetoric without any real evidence.

"According to General Guan Yu's report, Sun Ce ordered his troops to storm Linyin Mountain every day. How could it be false? If Linyin Mountain is not reinforced in time, our army will be in danger when the troops of Linyin Mountain retreat." Xu You immediately refuted Jia Xu's opinion and said Point out the harm, thinking that Jia Xu is misleading Liu Bei.

Chapter 355 Doubt

"Hahaha." Jia Xu laughed confidently, then clasped his hands and said, "Sun Ce sends troops to attack Linyin Mountain every day. If the general stationed at Linyin Mountain loses, he has already ordered [-] marines to go to Linyin Mountain for reinforcements. The general did not ask His Majesty for help, nor did he send the navy to go to Linyin Mountain, so it can be seen that Linyin Mountain is not in danger."

"Well, that's true." Liu Bei also nodded and said: "Yesterday, my second brother wrote a letter, saying that Linyin Mountain has no worries. Although there are battle damage every day, the damage is very small, so I don't need to worry about it."

"However, even if the soldiers and horses here and Cao Cao are both defeated, and Linyin Mountain is defended by a general with 30 soldiers and horses, how can Sun Ce benefit from it?" Xu You was still unwilling to let Jia Xu gain the limelight, and continued to ask.

"Your Majesty." Jia Xu went through the etiquette, and then said: "Looking at the world today, there are only Your Majesty, Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Yizhou Shuhan."

"Your Majesty and Cao Cao are both strong in Jiangdong. Even if our army is damaged, it is not something Jiangdong can bully. Yizhou is a dangerous and rich place, but its master is incompetent, ignorant of the weather, and military affairs. Not the enemy of Jiangdong."

"If your Majesty's soldiers and horses and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are both injured, and at that time, there is more than enough defense but not enough aggressiveness, then Sun Ce can return to the army and attack Yizhou. Once he can go to Yizhou, he can determine the power of one-third of the world. I, the big man, or Cao Cao, have nothing to do with Sun Ce who has taken the land of Yizhou."

As soon as Jia Xu said this, needles could be heard in the conference hall. If it is true what Jia Xu said, if Sun Ce is allowed to occupy Yizhou, they really have nothing to do with Sun Ce. They are all people with outstanding vision, of course they know Yizhou is dangerous and rich.

Chen Ziming spent so much effort to win Liangzhou, that's why he went to Yizhou.

"But if we continue to fight like this, we will be unfavorable." Chen Deng said helplessly: "Although the big man is rich, the more than [-] soldiers and horses in Xuzhou consume a lot every day. If we don't retreat all the way as soon as possible, we fear that the national treasury will be exhausted."

After Liu Bei heard this, his complexion became very ugly. Although the regions under his rule developed very fast, the annual expenditure on construction in various regions was not small, and he also raised more than 100 million troops, which was also a terrifying expense.

Now that the station is open, the military expenditure is even more terrifying. Although Liu Bei is much stronger than Cao Cao and Sun Ce, he doesn't want to waste the great opportunity in such a confrontation.

"There is news from Ziming." Liu Bei suddenly thought of Chen Ziming. If Chen Ziming was here, he wondered if he could come up with a feasible solution.Now all the advisers under him suggest that Liu Bei should focus on defense, but if this goes on, no one will benefit in the end.

"Report to Your Majesty." Feng Ji came out and said, "Since the prime minister returned to Linzi, he has been handling various political affairs. The rear is well-organized and all places are stable."

"Oh." Liu Bei replied in disappointment. He hoped that Chen Ziming could come here. After all, this is the key point. He is under a lot of pressure.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

At this time, outside the tree-lined mountain and inside the Jiangdong camp, Sun Ce was also summoning the civil and military generals to discuss military affairs.

"Tomorrow General He Qi will lead [-] troops to attack the Linyin camp, but don't rush in." Sun Ce continued to implement Zhou Yu's feint attack method, which made Cao Cao think that he was attacking Liu Bei, so that Cao Cao could feel at ease. You can maintain your strength and bide your time.

"My lord, Liu Bei's General Gan Ning led [-] marines to station on the coast of Xuzhou. If he sneaks into our rear from sea and land, our army may be in danger." General Chen Dao reminded worriedly.

"Hehe, I have ordered Ling Commander to lead [-] troops to garrison the coast of Wu County. If Liu Bei's navy makes a sneak attack, we will calmly mobilize troops to encircle and wipe them out." Sun Ce said confidently.

"My lord." Zhuge Jin suddenly said at this time: "Over [-] soldiers and horses from the east of the Yangtze River are gathered here. Although there are waterways to mobilize food and grass, the supply of food and grass for the army is safe, but..."

After Zhugejin sorted out his words, he said worriedly: "The 40 army consumes a lot of food and grass every day, and the big clan in Jiangdong has a lot of words about the lord's use of troops all the year round. In the matter of collecting food and grass, many clans interfered with it, and it took a long time. , I am afraid that the rear will be unstable."

"Hmph!" After hearing Zhuge Jin's words, Sun Ce's eyes flashed murderous intent, his face turned cold, not as relaxed and bold as before.

"My lord." Zhou Yu, who was beside Sun Ce, called out softly, "There are Zhang Hong, Lu Su and others in the rear. They should be fine. Now the battle here is the key, and we can deal with it after the big battle."

Zhou Yu also resented the short-sighted behavior of certain clans in Jiangdong. The most important thing was that they dragged Jiangdong back at this critical moment.

But Zhou Yu was afraid that Sun Ce would mess up. If he ordered the rear to kill at this time, the situation in Jiangdong would be unstable.The Jiangdong clan's relationship is complicated, and it affects the whole body.

"Hmph!" Sun Ce snorted coldly after hearing Zhou Yu's words, but he still gave up the order to execute those people, and after the battle, he will slowly deal with them.

"By the way, did Chen Ziming make any changes?" Zhou Yu suddenly thought of Liu Bei Group's No. [-] figure and the most terrifying enemy.

"Reporting to the Governor, according to reports from the spies, after Chen Ziming returned to Linzi, he has been sitting in Linzi, dealing with government affairs every day, and has no plans to come to Xuzhou." Zhuge Jin told the news he knew, and he has been paying attention to Chen Ziming's movements. After all, Chen Ziming had just defeated Cao Cao, occupied Liangzhou, and became famous and prestigious.

"Hmm..." Zhou Yu frowned and thought after hearing this. It stands to reason that Chen Ziming couldn't have come in person in such a big battle, but now Chen Ziming is uncharacteristically sitting in the rear, which is too incomprehensible.

"Could it be...Chen Ziming and Liu Bei...?" Zhuge Jin's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly raised his head to look at Zhou Yu, hoping to get something from Zhou Yu.

"It's not impossible..." His meritorious demeanor was finally suspected by his master. There are many Liezi in history, and now Chen Ziming is the kind of person with high deeds, and he is even worse than those famous officials in history. To go too far, it can be said that most of Liu Bei's current territory was taken down by Chen Ziming. No matter how good the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is, it is impossible for Liu Bei to have no suspicion of Chen Ziming.

"No." Sun Ce shook his head and said, "Now Liu Bei still trusts Chen Ziming, otherwise he would never let Chen Ziming leave Liangzhou, let alone let Chen Ziming sit in the rear."

As an overlord, Sun Ce has his own ideas, especially regarding the relationship between the monarch and his ministers. He has his own opinions. If the relationship between Liu Bei and Chen Ziming is the same as that of Zhou Yu, or even better, he has never doubted Zhou Yu. What about Liu Bei?

Besides, how important it is to sit in the rear, if Liu Bei suspects Chen Ziming, it is absolutely impossible to let Chen Ziming sit in the rear, otherwise, once Chen Ziming has his heart, Liu Bei will be disabled.

Chapter 356 Meeting Again

Just as Sun Ce judged that Liu Bei and Chen Ziming would not turn against each other, Cao Cao also firmly said that Liu Bei and Chen Ziming were still the same. In fact, both Cao Cao and Sun Ce hoped that Liu Bei and Chen Ziming would fight each other. In this way, the huge Liu Bei group would definitely disintegrate.
