The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

"If you send troops, Nanyang County and the Shangyong area will belong to you. If you are willing, I can fight for you."

Speaking of Shangyong County, we have to ask a complicated question.

The first is its location, which is very important.

To the west of Shangyong County is Hanzhong County, to the northeast is Nanyang County where Zhang Xiu occupies part of the area, and to the southeast is Xiangyang.

Of these three counties, one belongs to Liu Bei's forces, one belongs to Cao Cao's forces, and the other belongs to Sun Ce's forces.

complex!

During the Zhang Lu period, Shangyong County did not exist. It was originally a few counties under the jurisdiction of Hanzhong County until Cao Cao took Hanzhong.

After Zhang Lu surrendered, Cao Cao discovered that Hanzhong County was not only important in location, but also very large in size.

Therefore, Cao Cao selected 5 counties from Hanzhong County to form Shangyong County, completely breaking away from Yizhou.

Cao Cao was also forced to be helpless, because most of Hanzhong County was occupied by Liu Bei, the villain, and the remaining counties must not be abandoned.

Regarding the place in Shangyong County, Liu Bei has always wanted to eat it, but he has never dared to do it.

If Sun Ce takes Shangyong, he will undoubtedly offend Liu Bei.

But Shangyong is really important because it is closer to Xiangyang County.

With this place, Xiangyang's defense can be consolidated.

Zhou Yu was thoughtful, since Liu Ke only intended to win two counties for them, then this war would not completely destroy Cao Cao.

"Can King Dongyang tell you about your strategic goals?"

"Land of a state."

What Liu Ke said was relatively conservative, but at most he would hunt two states, Bingzhou and Yanzhou, and then proceed step by step to see how the battle goes.

If you have a chance, you can still knock on the Sishui Pass and enter Luoyang.

War is never easy.

Zhou Yu thought about it for a while, and it would be fine if he won Nanyang County, but Shangyong County is the fat that Liu Bei misses.

Will attacking rashly cause Liu Bei's dissatisfaction?

Liu Bei has been thinking about Shangyong for a long time!

Because although he took down most of Hanzhong, Shangyong County was like a thorn.

After taking Shangyong County, he, the King of Hanzhong, will be complete.

However, Jingzhou is only staring at these two places, so the pressure is really not great.

The frontal battlefield has been contracted by Liu Ke.

There is at most one embroidery left!

Zhang Xiu defected to Cao Cao and became a local force. His soldiers and horses were recruited by Cao Cao. Now he only maintains an army of 5 people, responsible for guarding the front line of Jingzhou.

Including the Shangyong defenders, there will not be more than 8 people.

With nearly 40 troops in Jingzhou, it is very easy to win the two counties.

So it is enough to consider Liu Bei's attitude.

"I'm afraid Liu Xuande, the king of Hanzhong, will not agree."

"Humph!"

Sun Ce snorted coldly, and said disdainfully, "If he dares to come, he will give me an excuse to attack Xishu."

After making good friends with Yangzhou, Sun Ce has no worries.

How dare a mere Liu Bei provoke him?

This is also Liu Ke's strategy all along. Be good to Sun Ce, don't expect him to help you, just don't make trouble.

"I, Jingzhou, have eaten the land of the two counties."

Sun Ce spoke confidently.

Liu Ke nodded, he opened up the chatterbox, Sun Ce is sorry, Zhou Yu is not welcome.

"King Dongyang, I am short of horses in Jingzhou, can I support [-] horses?"

If Jingzhou soldiers did not participate in the battle, but stood on the sidelines, Liu Ke would not give anything.

Sun Ce decisively decided to fight, and Liu Ke didn't mind giving them some benefits.

Liu Ke controls horse grazing lands such as Youzhou and Liaodong, as well as the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei offering sacrifices, and there is a steady stream of war horses.

It's just that Liu didn't plan to provide frontier war horses this time. Those war horses ran happily on the grassland, and they were relatively strong in terms of endurance and explosive power.

What he provided were two or three generations of war horses bred by the Yangzhou racecourse.

Naturally, the horses raised in the south cannot be compared with those in the north.

"I will give you [-] war horses!"
