Han counter current

The Yongliang army led by Xu Huang continued to advance at this time, gradually reducing the space for the Hanzhong army to move, forcing them into the checkpoint. If this continues, war may break out at any time.

The atmosphere in Hanzhong has become so tense, but the atmosphere in Jingzhou is actually not much better.

The Cao army in the north just retreated, but did not retreat. Cao Zhang led [-] cavalry to station in Xinye, and Lejin stationed troops in Wancheng. As a result, the crisis in northern Jingzhou has not been resolved.

And Liu Bei, who went south to fight, has been working hard for Liu Biao, and even cleaned up several bandits in the public security territory.

Unfortunately, Liu Bei had not just arrived in Changsha, and he became seriously ill due to acclimatization. Fortunately, there was no major war there, so there is no problem for the time being.

For a long time, the reason why Jingzhou, Jiangdong and other places have not been well developed is mainly because of the climate in the south.

It is difficult for the people from the north to get used to this place. Apart from the climate, there are also differences in the soil and water between the north and the south. In particular, many refugees from the north will get sick due to drinking water after arriving in the south.

This time, Liu Bei was no exception.When the news reached Xiangyang, Liu Biao was really taken aback. After learning that Liu Bei was fine, he was relieved.

"Send someone to send a message to General Zuo to let him rest in Changsha. He doesn't care about Jiangdong Army's affairs for the time being. My nephew Liu Pan has been guarding Changsha for many years, and there will be no problems in a short time."

After giving this order, Liu Biao's mood became worse again. Before the enemy in the north was resolved, Sun Quan in the south came to make trouble.

And there are not many generals available under his own hands, and Liu Bei finally had to work hard, and now he is still sick, which is really unlucky.

However, what outsiders don't know is that when Liu Bei was recuperating, a young man dressed as a scholar went in and out of Liu Bei's military camp many times, and it seemed that he had a close friendship with Liu Bei.

Chapter 604

Now, the situation in Jingzhou is becoming more and more chaotic. Liu Biao stays in Xiangyang City and cannot control the territory far away from Xiangyang.

Especially the counties in the south of Jingzhou have always been somewhat semi-independent. Now that Jingzhou has suffered such a catastrophe, coupled with the restlessness in Jiangdong, the counties in the south are even more perverted.

In Changsha, outside the camp of Liu Bei's army, a young man walked over with more than a dozen personal guards leading a horse. Seeing that Liu Bei's military camp was heavily guarded, he nodded secretly.

"Stop coming, don't get close to the important military camp."

"Please tell your Excellency to inform General Zuo that Liu Pan, the prefect of Changsha, will visit you."

"It turned out to be General Liu Pan. General, wait a moment. I'll go and report to my lord."

The captain at the gate of the camp sent someone to report to Liu Bei, and at the same time arranged the defenses at the gate of the camp. Although he complimented Liu Pan, he had no intention of letting him in.

"My lord, this Liu Bei is too presumptuous. When he arrived in Changsha, he dared to refuse the lord from the door."

Liu Pan's personal guards couldn't see others treating him so poorly, especially since Liu Pan had guarded Changsha for many years, Liu Bei was just a latecomer, so why didn't he even understand etiquette.

"Don't talk too much, it is rumored that Liu Bei has been defeated repeatedly in the north, and the world thinks that his talent is low, but look at this camp.

The guard is tight and the morale of the generals is high.This is enough to prove that Liu Bei's military ability is not weak. Didn't you notice that the fighting spirit of the soldiers in the camp seems to be not weaker than that of my Changsha soldiers? "

"This, but, in the rumors,,,,,,"

"Hmph, rumors are rumors, besides, Liu Bei has been defeated repeatedly in the north, and he doesn't even look at who his opponent is.

Not to mention him, any general in my Jingzhou territory, if I go to the north to fight against heroes like Cao Cao, I am afraid that they will only lose. "

Liu Pan is indeed a character, at least he is rational in thinking. No wonder Liu Biao let him guard Changsha. You know, this is the hometown of the Sun family in Jiangdong, adjacent to the front line of Jiangdong.

"Unknown General Liu Pan came to visit, and I was far away to welcome him, and I have sinned and sinned..."

Soon, the gate of the camp opened gradually, and Liu Bei walked out of the camp in military uniform, while saluting to Liu Pan. This gesture was full of sincerity.

Liu Pan also went up to greet him immediately. After all, he came to visit this time because of a request, and Liu Bei's ability to come out of the camp so quickly to meet him has already given him enough face.

It turned out that when people in Jingzhou were panicking, the three counties of Wuling, Lingling, and Guiyang in the south joined forces for some reason, and there was a faint tendency to become independent.

After Liu Pan got the news, he immediately reported to Xiangyang. However, after fighting for many years, he knew that saving the situation was like putting out a fire, and there was no delay.

However, he wants to lead troops to monitor the Jiangdong Army. There was news that the Jiangdong Army was about to invade before, but he has not seen any actions from the Jiangdong Army so far, so he is even more worried.

Therefore, at this time, he could only beg Liu Bei to lead his troops south to quell the turmoil and ensure peace in the north of Xiangyang.

More than half a month has passed since Liu Bei fell ill, and Liu Bei's condition has improved a lot. Liu Pan really came to see him after he found out about the news.

Half a day later, Liu Pan left satisfied, and Liu Bei personally sent him ten miles outside the gate of the camp. When Liu Bei came back, Zhuge Liang was drinking tea in the big tent with a relaxed expression on his face.

"Congratulations, my lord, the three southern counties are within your reach."

"Everything depends on Kong Ming's plan, please accept my worship..."

"Don't dare to dare, this is a matter of Ming's duty. If it goes well, my lord can win the three counties in the south within one month.

After integrating the soldiers, horses, food and grass of the three counties, the Lord can add [-] soldiers and horses, and then he can rest in the south to watch the situation. "

"Wonderful, thanks to Kong Ming, I can have this opportunity, but even if I take the three counties in the south, I just have a foothold.

If I can't get Changsha, how can I go north? Moreover, there are a lot of food, grass and military equipment hoarded in Changsha, which can just make up for the shortage of our army. "

"My lord, don't worry. Let's take down the three southern counties first. Liang will leave today. After the lord takes down the three southern counties, Liang will make his own arrangements. Then the lord will just wait for my letter."

Judging by the expression on Zhuge Liang's speech, it is called a self-confidence.It turned out that some time ago he went to the south under a pseudonym, and then the sheriffs of the three counties in the south became restless, and even clamored for independence.

Then, when the news reached Changsha, Liu Pan couldn't sit still. In his anxiety, someone suggested that Liu Bei lead his army south to quell the chaos, and that's why Liu Pan came to visit today.

In terms of real calculations, Zhuge Liang created such an opportunity for Liu Bei with his three-inch tongue. At the same time, he has figured out the situation of the three southern counties. Liu Bei's southward suppression of the rebellion is actually similar to taking over.

After sending off Zhuge Liang, the expression on Liu Bei's face became even more excited.In front of Zhuge Liang just now, he had to be more reserved.

But now, he doesn't have to care.The land in the three southern counties is not small, and there have been no wars in these years, and there are quite a lot of food and supplies hoarded.

Coupled with the constant wars in the north these years, a large number of refugees have poured into the three southern counties. If Liu Bei can successfully occupy these places, he will no longer have to run around like a bereaved dog.

"Uncle Zhi, where is Uncle Zhi?"

"The end will be in,,,,,,"

"Assemble the soldiers and horses, pack up the tents, and the army is ready to go south. Uncle Zhi, I will take you as the vanguard and give you [-] elite soldiers. Do you dare to attack Wuling?"

"Don't worry, my lord, Wuling is nothing to worry about, and we will leave immediately."

"Okay, Shuzhi, be careful yourself, I will come as soon as possible after I hand over the food and supplies from General Liu Pan."

"promise,,,,,,"

Soon, Chen Dao counted the soldiers and horses, took a few days of food and grass, and left. When Zhang Fei heard the news, he was very angry.

"Big brother, big brother, why don't you let me go if there is such a good thing, Shuzhi has already led the army to fight, why do you keep me in the camp?"

When Liu Bei went south under Liu Biao's order, although he only took five thousand soldiers with him, he brought along two generals, Zhang Fei and Chen Dao.

Now, Chen Dao first went out to fight with Zhang Fei, how Zhang Fei could bear it.No, before Liu Bei could recover, Zhang Fei came to the door and quarreled.
