Great Wei Nengchen

Recently, the supply of grain, grass, and ordnance has been timely, and there has never been a shortage. The grain guards from the rear also said that Da Sima is full of energy and well-organized, so why did he suddenly fall ill?

"Swipe!--Swipe!"

Mao Jie is also a man of resourcefulness. He once served as an official in the Prime Minister's Office - Dongcao, and was responsible for selecting talents.

Hanging on the bulkhead is a map of the nine counties of Jingzhou. The vigorous and vigorous handwriting on it looks like Xiao Yi's own handwriting, and the ink is not dry yet...

A pair of cloud brocade combat boots on the ground showed signs of being wet with dew, and there was a lot of soil under the boots, which was the result of walking back and forth on the steamy ship plank...

There are also the scrolls unfolded on the table, and the smell of grilled fish and fine wine in the cabin... All kinds of signs show that Xiao Yilong is vigorous, able to eat and sleep, and has no physical problems at all, just moaning from illness... But it's just pretending ah!

In fact, with Xiao Yi's wisdom, if he really wants to pretend to be sick, everything can be done seamlessly. The reason why there are a few flaws left is to tell Mao Jie clearly: "I'm just pretending to be sick. If I want to cure this kind of disease ', it depends on whether your 'medicine' is enough!

Everyone is smart, since they understand each other's thoughts, the next step is to bargain, and before Mao Jie left, he had a private conversation with Cao Cao and got a good price.

"The soldiers in front fought bloody battles. Wancheng has already been conquered, and they are about to drink the Ma Hanshui. However, Liu Bei is a hero in troubled times, and he has Kong Ming and Xu Shu as his assistants. Our army suffered a few small losses, and the casualties were quite heavy!

All the civil and military officials believed that only the chief commander could defeat the enemy and pacify Jingzhou, so they sent officials to ask for it, and hoped that for the sake of thousands of soldiers, they would not refuse..."

"Cough cough!...My master is seriously ill, and it is difficult to speak, so how can he lead the army to fight? I'd better hire someone else!"

"The prime minister has ordered that as long as Da Sima is willing to act, he can lead the front army alone and decisively kill. The camp of the Chinese army is not controlled remotely. Food, grass and ordnance are given priority, and the spoils of war are distributed by themselves!"

"Ahem!... My master is seriously ill and cannot fight!"

"The Prime Minister also said that Da Sima has worked so hard and made no one comparable. After the south is settled, two more counties will be added. The descendants will inherit it and rest with the country!"

"Ahem!... My master is seriously ill and really can't fight!"

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

Mao Jie agitated his lips and tongue, and kept proposing various conditions, one being more favorable than the other, Xiao Yi just had a dry cough, and was not at all satisfied with these flashy conditions, he had to get some affordable ones!

In desperation, Mao Jie took out a piece of paper from his bosom, and slowly unfolded it. The ten ink characters on it were written by Cao Cao himself: The person with the most meritorious service in the Southern Expedition is the Lord of Jingzhou!

This is the price Cao Cao offered, as long as Xiao Yi goes into battle to lead the army, defeats Liu Bei and Liu Biao, and captures the land of the nine counties of Jingzhou, he will be made the shepherd of Jingzhou!

Jingzhou is thousands of miles away, with a population of more than 200 million. It is also a land of fish and rice. In terms of comprehensive strength, it is second only to Jizhou, which is number one in the world. ?

"Hmm!...This is the inventory list of grain and grass, as well as the scheduling of ships and convoys. I hope Master Pushe will take care of it carefully to ensure that the army will have no worries!"

"The lower officials must do their best to ensure the smooth transportation of grain and grass. I also hope that Da Sima will take care of his body and go to the front of the battle as soon as possible!"

Feeling that the price given was enough, Xiao Yi looked at the two disciples, Hao Zhao and Deng Ai brought a large stack of documents, and handed over the logistics work and important matters!

After Mao Jie nodded repeatedly, remembering it with his heart, and clasped his fists to salute, he left with a large number of documents and was busy taking over the rear affairs. Maintaining hundreds of thousands of troops to consume is not a light burden!

"Swipe! - Tap!"

Xiao Yi closed his eyes slightly, and rested for a while. When he opened his eyes again, he became fierce again, and then jumped up, staring at the map of Jingzhou next to him...

The battle situation in Jingzhou is extremely chaotic. Liu Bei is gradually rising inside, like a golden carp, who can transform into a dragon in case of wind and clouds. And there is a letter...

If you want to open up the situation, you must find a breakthrough point, and this place... is Xiangyang City, whoever can win Xiangyang City is the lord of Jingzhou!

"Order the Xuanjia iron cavalry to immediately break out of camp and go south, travel night and day, hide their whereabouts, and prepare ten days' rations, and prepare for a long-distance attack!"

"Danyang soldiers, trapped camp, digger army, student army, hell ghost battalion...then go south one by one, ready to fight a fierce battle. The enemies this time are extraordinary: Kong Ming, Xu Shu, Zhou Gongjin...and Feng Hina!

Just when Xiao Yi returned to the battlefield and was about to show off his skills, the troops led by Liu Bei and Xu Shu, like an arrow from the string, went straight to their destination... Xiangyang City!

Chapter 1219 Liu Biao's Political Will!

Xiangyang City-Shi was built in the sixth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Western Han Dynasty. The city is three feet six feet high and has a circumference of more than fifteen miles. Dangerous and solid, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it was a battleground for military strategists in ancient times, also known as "Iron Xiangyang City!" '

In the first year of Chuping, after Liu Biao served as the shepherd of Jingzhou, he abandoned Hanshou City, the original government, and moved to Xiangyang City. For the needs of defense, he built a new urban area on the north bank, forming the "North and South Two Cities, Hanshui River". Wear 'the majestic pattern!

Xiangyang City is located in the upper reaches of the Han River, surrounded by fertile land, convenient irrigation, and extremely rich products. Especially since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, a large number of gentry, powerful, and merchants in the north moved into Xiangyang City to avoid the war, which further promoted the prosperity here. !

It is conservatively estimated that the resident population of Xiangyang City exceeds 30, and there are many merchants and shops. Its prosperity is not inferior to Xuchang and Yecheng, and it is the No. [-] giant city in Jingzhou. Master, is the situation very bad now?

"Hoo!---Hoo!"

Xiangyang Chengnan District - In the dormitory of the State Shepherd's Mansion, Liu Biao, 64 years old, was lying on his back on a brocade soft couch, his eyes closed, his breathing weak, and he was described as withered like a rotten leaf, surrounded by his wives, maids, doctors, and important civil and military officials. Dozens of people...

Liu Biao, courtesy name Jingsheng, descended from King Lu Gong of the Han Dynasty, was a dignified clan member of the Han family. He also recruited soldiers and bought horses, accumulated grass and stored food, and even separatist for thousands of miles, with more than [-] armored troops, becoming one of the most powerful princes!

It's a pity that if you are a hero, you can't escape the ruthlessness of time, especially in recent years, facing internal and external troubles, the weak Liu Biao chose to escape, blindly indulging in wine and sex, so that his body suffered serious damage and he became more and more old !

In the spring of this year, he also fell ill with a serious illness. After several months of recuperation, he did not recover. He also heard that hundreds of thousands of Cao troops went south and came straight to the nine counties of Jingzhou. Frightened and uneasy, his illness became more and more serious, and he even revealed his next life. Situation, coma seven or eight times a day!

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

"Father! Father!--Wake up!"

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

More than a dozen beautiful concubines kept crying in low voices, not because of their dying husband, but because they were worried about their own fate. The eldest wife, Mrs. Cai, was beautiful and jealous, with a heart like a snake and a scorpion, and her natal family was very powerful. Once Liu Biao returns west on the crane, they will probably be buried!

Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Kuai Liang, and Kuai Yue, more than a dozen important ministers, exchanged glances and communicated secretly. Once Liu Biao left, the Jingzhou Group would have no leader.

The tree fell and the monkeys scattered. This statement is not false. The only one who is really sad in the dormitory is Liu Cong, the second son who is lying on the side of the couch, bleeding profusely. The eldest son Liu Qi is fighting against Cao Jun at the front, and he has no idea that his father is dying. thing!

"Oh...I'm not dead yet. How is the battle ahead? Has Cao's army reached Xiangyang City?"

In the middle of the night, Liu Biao, who had been in a coma for a long time, suddenly woke up, and his mind was clear, his eyes were bright, and his body gained strength. He even struggled to sit up and asked about the battle ahead!

"Don't worry about the battle ahead. Liu Bei's army in Nanyang County won four battles and four victories in a row, killing 8 Cao troops. Jingzhou is as stable as Mount Tai!"

"Master Zhou has a minor illness. As long as he rests well and takes the decoction, he will recover soon. The people of the nine counties of Jingzhou still need you to treat them!"

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

Seeing Liu Biao wake up, everyone was overjoyed for a while, and then turned pale, because the face of the state herdsman had already been shrouded in a deep sense of death, and the momentary radiance was just a flashback!

Before dying, the patients will unleash their remaining potential, thus recovering their memory, becoming more energetic, and even clearer than normal, so they can bid farewell to their loved ones and explain some behind-the-scenes events... Finally, the setting sun A gleam of brilliance, followed by eternal darkness!

Everyone was terrified in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it. They had to find ways to comfort Liu Biao and report some good news from the front line. But what everyone was most concerned about was the issue of the successor of the Jingzhou Group. Succession?

"Hmmm! The nine counties of Jingzhou are doomed!"

After listening to everyone's comforting words, Liu Biao sighed a few times, but his face showed no joy, because he knew very well in his heart that no matter what happened in the front line, his foundation in the nine counties of Jingzhou would not be preserved!

The reason is also very simple. If the front is defeated, hundreds of thousands of Cao troops will go south and capture Xiangyang City in one fell swoop, and Jingzhou will naturally belong to Cao Cao!

On the contrary, if he wins the battle ahead, Liu Bei will inevitably grow in power and become unstoppable. Will Jingzhou Mu's seat be taken away by him sooner or later?

"Master State Shepherd is unwell, and it is difficult to handle important military and political affairs. Now Cao Jun is marching southward, and people in Jingzhou are in a state of panic. Why don't you choose one of the two young masters to take over the state affairs temporarily, so that you can cultivate with peace of mind, right?"
