Liu Biao died and Liu Bei died, and Liu Qi was still immersed in grief. Sima Yi was the only one in Jingzhou’s affairs. Liu Qi also trusted Sima Yi very much. Due to excessive sadness, Liu Qi finally fell ill on the third day of the guard.

After Liu Bei's death, Sima Yi began to mourn Liu Biao, and chose a good name to start burying Liu Biao.

Liu Biao was in Jingzhou for more than ten years, protecting the country and protecting the people and deeply rooted in the people. In addition, during his tenure, Jingzhou became stable. While recruiting refugees, Liu Biao reclaimed wasteland and built water conservancy. Over the years, there were thousands of hectares of fertile land on the Jianghan Plain. With these favorable factors, Jingzhou's agricultural production has also reached a level, and it has been a bumper harvest for five consecutive years. It can be said that the people of Jingzhou are relatively rich, and every family has surplus grain, and even the granary of the government is full of stuff.

When Liu Biao died, almost the entire Jingzhou was immersed in grief. When the people learned that Liu Biao was assassinated by Liu Bei and sent to assassinate, they hated Liu Bei even more.

Poor Liu Bei fought hard for half his life, but in the end he ended up being in a different place, and was disgraced. After his death, he was criticized by thousands of people and scolded him.

Although Liu Bei was dead, his sworn brother Guan Yu and Zhang Fei was still alive. Sima Yi did not agree with Liu Qi's order to kill the nine clans of Liu Bei. However, when he wanted to stop him, he found that Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei's family had already defected to Jiangdong.

This is extremely bad news for Sima Yi. After all, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all unmatched by thousands of people. They are brave and good at fighting and are the best of the three armies. Even if they cannot be used by them, they will at least kill them. But now, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fled to Jiangdong. If the Sun family in Jiangdong takes in Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it will be equivalent to increasing their strength a lot.

For the past month or two, Jingzhou has been in turmoil. First, the expedition of Liu Biaoxu Kingdom failed, then the Cai party was killed, and then Liu Bei planned to rebel. A series of things have developed, making the originally powerful Jingzhou weak. Although there are nearly 100,000 soldiers in Xiangyang, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers is definitely not as good as the Jiangdong Army who is on the edge of the knife.

Since Sun Ce arrived in Jiangdong, the Jiangdong army gradually became stronger in blood and fire. They fought with Zhang Yan, Shanyue, and bandits, almost every year. Therefore, in the battle between blood and fire, the Jiangdong army gradually became stronger and bigger, and the overall strength of the soldiers was far higher than that of the more comfortable Jingzhou army. If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei arrived in Jiangdong, they borrowed troops from the Sun family in Jiangdong, or directly suggested that the Jiangdong army attack Jingzhou, then the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou might not be able to withstand it.

Therefore, Sima Yi was not feeling relaxed. Now that Liu Qi was ill in bed, Sima Yi was alone in Jingzhou to make the decision. For Sima Yi, it was indeed a lot of pressure.

However, Sima Yi wanted this result. He was undercover in Jingzhou in order to bring the power of Jingzhou to his own men, and then persuade Liu Qi to surrender to Zhang Yan, and let Zhang Yanbing take Jingzhou without any blood.

Therefore, Sima Yi would never allow outsiders to get a share of the pie in Jingzhou.

Sima Yi prepared for the future and directly called Wen Pin, Li Tong and the others, and asked them to lead the army quickly, go down the Han River and garrison in Jiangxia to prevent the Jiangdong army from taking advantage of the situation.

In addition, Sima Yi also transferred Huang Zhong and Wei Yan to Changsha. If the Jiangdong Army invaded Jiangxia, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan would send troops from Changsha and attack the Jiangdong Army from behind. If the Jiangdong Army attacked Changsha, then Wen Pin and Li Tong attacked the rear of the Jiangdong Army. The two groups of troops were supporting each other, dependent on each other, and coordinated their combat.

Sima Yi asked Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin and Li Tong to divide his troops into two groups. Each army led a 30,000 army, with Huang Zhong and Wen Pin as the main general, while Wei Yan and Li Tong were the deputy generals, and then set off and headed to Jiangxia and Changsha respectively.

There were a total of 100,000 people in Xiangyang City. Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, Li Tong and others took away 60,000 people, leaving only 40,000 people to guard Xiangyang City, which inevitably aroused the concerns of Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin and Li Tong. After Liu Bei's death, Zhang Xiu led a large army to the junction between Nanyang and Xiangyang, and placed all his troops in Deng County, and were eyeing Xiangyang. Under such circumstances, Sima Yi had to dispatch his troops to go out. Wouldn't he be creating convenience for the enemy?

To this end, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin and Li Tong expressed their opinions one after another, asking Sima Yi to try his best to draw a small amount of troops and not to transfer so many troops at once.

Sima Yi is very familiar with the worries of the four generals of Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong. He said, "I am here in Xiangyang, you don't need to worry. Even if there is no soldier in Xiangyang City, the enemy will not cross the border. I have a way to deal with the enemy from the north. However, what I am really worried about is not the enemy from the north, but Sun Quan from Jiangdong. Sun Quan has a feud with Jingzhou, and the Sun has been coveting Jingzhou for a long time. This time, such a thing happened in Jingzhou at once, and there were no soldiers left on the border with Jiangdong. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei threw themselves into Jiang again.

After going east, Liu Bei's death is unrelated to Jingzhou. I am worried that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will point his hatred at Jingzhou and bewitch Zhou Yu from sending troops to deal with Jingzhou. Moreover, Zhou Yu himself is also eyeing Jingzhou, and only because of the lack of generals who can fight, he dare not act rashly. If Zhou Yu knew that Liu Bei was dead and so many things happened in Jingzhou, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to surrender again, he would definitely not miss this opportunity. He would lend troops to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei asked him to fight for Jingzhou. He himself would be in charge of Chaisang, watch the tiger's fight in the mountains, and then seek good strategies."

After a pause, Sima Yi continued, "If you don't lead to the garrison quickly, once Guan Yu and Zhang Fei arrive at Chaisang, Zhou Yu will send troops. Who can resist such elite soldiers?"

Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong became indifferent and stopped talking, thinking that Sima Yi was thinking far-reaching enough.

"Military advisor, why do we need to divide our troops into two groups and stay in two places? In this way, wouldn't the troops be too dispersed? It would be better to concentrate all the troops and fight to the death with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. As long as we kill Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Jiangdong will be no longer a concern." Wei Yan said.

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all bravest enemies of the three armies, and Zhou Yu is resourceful. The three of them united together must be a force that cannot be ignored. What we need to do is to hold the enemy down and prevent the enemy from attacking Jingzhou. When the enemy sends troops, they always have some concerns and try to keep the enemy outside Jingzhou."

After hearing this, Huang Zhong looked displeased and said to Sima Yi: "Guan Yu, although Zhang Fei is brave and good at fighting, I am not a vegetarian. I worked with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei before, and I have a little understanding of the two of them. Moreover, my martial arts skills may not be worse than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. It would be better for the military advisor to give me three thousand soldiers and horses and let me be the pioneer. I will go to meet Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in person, and take the heads of them and present them to the military advisor. Why should I mobilize the troops so much?"

After hearing this, Wei Yan, Wen Pin and Li Tong all echoed, yelling to fight with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei alone, and he could capture Guan Yu and Zhang Fei alive, or kill them.

Sima Yi said: "Your martial arts are both very good, but when the two armies fight, they compete with the strength of the army. However, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are too strong in martial arts. If you fight alone, I am worried about your safety..."

"Military advisors should not increase the ambition of others and destroy their own prestige. I don't believe in evil and do not control Guan Yu. I will raise Zhang Fei's head, and I will never come back!" As soon as Huang Zhong finished speaking, he hugged Sima Yi and turned around and came out.

Sima Yi hurriedly shouted: "General Huang... don't be impulsive, General Huang... General Huang..."

Huang Zhong ignored Sima Yi at all, left the government office, jumped onto the horse, summoned two hundred cavalrymen from the army, and then left Xiangyang City and galloped towards Chaisang. Sima Yi's words just now angered Huang Zhong. He had to go to find Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei and the two of them were better and worse.

Seeing Huang Zhong leaving, Sima Yi hurriedly said to Wei Yan: "General Huang will inevitably be in danger of going there. General Wei, you are also troubled to bring two thousand cavalry to catch up with General Huang. No matter what, you will bring General Huang back."

Wei Yan nodded and turned to leave the hall, but he was thinking in his heart: "General Huang is very skilled in martial arts and may not lose to Guan Yu. Zhang Fei. If General Huang can defeat Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, then it will be a great achievement. If I lead the troops to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it will be a merit. If I don't take such merit, wouldn't it be a waste?"

After thinking about this, Wei Yan laughed. He happened to lead two thousand cavalry closely behind Huang Zhong. When Huang Zhong met Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he would put him in the battle for Huang Zhong and let Huang Zhong fight to the fullest. If he won, he also made contributions and lost. The crime was all due to Huang Zhong and had nothing to do with him. Why not do this best in both worlds?

After Huang Zhong and Wei Yan left, Sima Yi immediately said to Wen Pin and Li Tong: "Huang Zhong must have gone to find Guan Yu. Zhang Fei went to desperately. Wei Yan may not be able to bring Huang Zhong back. You two each led an army of 30,000. General Wen went to Jiangxia and General Li went to Changsha to guard separately, prepare for the battle, and always pay attention to the situation in Jiangdong."

Wen Pin and Li Tong were promoted by Sima Yi after all, so they followed Sima Yi's words. Both of them nodded, then said "very" and left each.

After leaving the government office, Wen Pin and Li Tong went to the military camp, and each ordered its troops and divided into two groups. One was led by Wen Pin and went downstream to Xiazhi, Jiangxia, and the other was led by Li Tong to Xiajun, Changsha. The two armies formed a mutual support. If one was in trouble, the other was dispatched to attack the rear of the Jiangdong Army, disrupt the Jiangdong Army, and force the Jiangdong Army to withdraw.

At this time, more than 60,000 troops were missing in Xiangyang City, which inevitably made people feel a little worried. When the brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue heard that Sima Yi had mobilized a large number of troops out of the city, they could no longer sit still. The two brothers walked together and came to the government office to find Sima Yi and asked what was going on. (To be continued.)
