"If you are not careful about this plan, Lu Su may not be able to leave Xiangyang. In this way, Lu Su is indeed extremely courageous." The general of Cao's camp sighed sincerely.

"What you see is courage, what I see is wisdom. Behind this is a game between Sun Quan and Liu Bei." Guo Jia suddenly said as the military advisor who Cao Cao was holding.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes,

"The meaning of Fengxiao is that Sun Quan had already confirmed everything?"

"How is that possible!" Someone immediately objected.

"If I guard Xiangyang, I will never let Lu Su go."

"Yes, it's just a coincidence."

Cao Cao ignored everyone's argument and just looked at Guo Jia. He knew that Guo Jia would never be aimless.

"First let's look at Liu Bei's side." Guo Jia came to the military position map. "Liu Bei's biggest problem is that his foundation is too shallow. Although he has strong generals, there are not many soldiers who can use it. Liu Bei's victory in the Battle of Red Cliff also seized the vast land of Jingnan. Until now, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and most of the elite soldiers are guarding Jingnan, leaving only Guan Yu and some veteran soldiers to stay in Xiangyang."

Guo Jia said,

"Of course, it's understandable that Liu Bei's arrangement is a first-hand place. Jingnan is the first place to get, and turmoil may occur at any time. Jingbei is his base camp. Cihang Jingzhai has been in charge for many years, so there is no need to worry about chaos. As for the Jiangdong army, the first thing to be dealt with is us. If the accident of our defeat and defeat in the war really happens, it will be time for Liu Bei to rush back to Xiangyang from Jingnan. In this situation, we have temporarily stopped fighting with Jiangdong, and Liu Bei is even more unlikely to take the initiative to take over the opponent. Lu Su's peace-seeking actually gave Liu Bei a step. Even if Lu Su didn't go, Liu Bei would not dare to attack the Sun family army retreating to Jiangdong."

"It is not surprising that Liu Bei accepted the request, but he didn't need to let Lu Su go so easily. If I were to pledge Lu Su first, it would not be too late to release the people when the Sun family army really returned to Jiangdong." Someone immediately expressed the thoughts of most generals.

Guo Jia did not answer directly, pointed at Jiangdong with one finger on the map.

"This is to say that Sun Quan's side. Sun Ce is not dead, and Zhou Yu and Sun Quan are incompatible. This is an open secret. Zhou Yu is dead, and Sun Quan wants to get the military power back and let Lu Su take over the army, so he has to do it. Just imagine, if Lu Su is really detained in Xiangyang and wait for the army to return to Jiangdong, wouldn't Sun Quan be a natural appointment of a new commander-in-chief!"

"This is an open conspiracy!" Cao Cao slapped his thigh suddenly.

"This is not an open plot." Guo Jia shook his head, "because Liu Bei didn't realize it was a plot at all. Liu Bei thought that Sun Quan deliberately sent Lu Su to die, so in order to continue to split Jiangdong, Liu Bei wanted to release Lu Su back as soon as possible."

"No one would have thought that Lu Su, who had just left Xiangyang, led his troops to kill him."

"It's really a terrible strategy. I never get tired of deceit in the war. Sun Tzu's Art of War is well-known." Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh, regretting that he only learned one strategy of Sun Tzu's Art of War.

"But this is also a good thing for us." Cao Cao quickly cheered up. If he could reach this day, he would not be timid because of the strength of the enemy.

"First of all, Sun Quan used this plan to cut himself apart from the world. No prince dared to believe Sun Quan's covenant easily in the future."

Of course, there are actually not many princes left today. Once Sun Quan really defeats Liu Bei and Cao Cao, the remaining princes are no longer qualified to be a covenant.

However, I still have to say that Cao Cao will not be ambitious in front of his generals.

"Secondly, although Liu Bei was caught off guard. As long as Guan Yu defended Xiangyang and did not leave, Liu Bei should be able to quickly rush from Jingnan to support him. At that time, the Jingnan cities will fall back into the hands of Jiangdong. Liu Bei is in Jingbei and should be able to restrain Sun Quan for us."

However, it will be accelerated. Cao Cao has no confidence in how long can Liu Bei hold on. He must completely pacify the north before Liu Bei loses!

At this time, Cao Cao had no idea that Sun Quan had blocked the Yangtze River and blocked the possibility of Liu Bei going north to rescue Guan Yu.

????????

Jingzhou,

South of the Yangtze River,

"Children Sun Quan, despicable and shameless!" Zhang Fei, who had no choice but to retreat, roared to the sky, his face, which was already black, became five points darker.

"I will never be tired of cheating in the army. Third brother, stop scolding." Liu Bei stopped Zhang Fei from going crazy, and of course he was also scolding Sun Quan for being unfair and moral.

"Brother, my second brother has always been honest. I am worried that he can't stop Jiangdong's children's conspiracy!" Zhang Fei said with great concern.

Liu Bei's eyes flashed and he calmed down.

"Don't worry, we have a backup plan. If necessary, we can protect Jingzhou once."

What a pity. Liu Bei sighed in his heart, "I'm not waiting for it." Give him some more time, it's not just a step back."

????????

On the river,

The Jiangdong Army, who had already planned it, was obviously faster to go by water than Liu Bei, who was on land.

Liu Bei's original plan was to divide his troops into multiple groups and use fishing boats to cross the river in small scale from different areas. But when he arrived at the riverside, he found that the river was already covered with Jiangdong warships that were patrolling back and forth.

"Lord, Liu Bei's army who tried to cross the river was defeated again. Now, they may not even be able to find the fishing boat."

The one who led the warship here was the serious Lu Meng.

"Liu Bei has led his troops to gather on the riverside, and the rear of Jingnan will inevitably be empty. As long as you give your subordinates a light cavalry, all the four counties in Jingnan can surrender!" Lu Meng volunteered.

Sun Quan shook his head slowly,

"The Yangtze River can trap the army, but it cannot trap a few elite troops. As long as Liu Bei is given time, he can always find ways to transport the soldiers over little by little. The reason why Liu Bei is still on the south bank is because he still revenges for luck, because he still can't bear to leave the four counties in Jingnan."

This is how people are. How can we give up just by giving up?

"If a dog is anxious, he will jump over the wall. When people are desperate, the ambition to die is very terrible. Therefore, we must leave a way out for Liu Bei." Sun Quan's lips raised.

Liu Bei is like a loach. If you hit Jingnan, he will escape to Jingbei. If you hit Jingbei, he will go to Cao Cao again.

So, Sun Quan deliberately did not take Jingnan and left a way out for Liu Bei. The final result was that Guan Yu from Xiangyang was defeated and fled back to Jingnan to meet with Liu Bei. Before he knew it, Liu Bei became a turtle in the jar, facing enemies everywhere and had no way to escape.

"You go north and help Lu Su." Sun Quan said to Lu Meng, "There are not many soldiers that can give you." He really can't come up with people, "You just need to let the people in Xiangyang know that they can't wait for reinforcements, that's all."

"Yes." Lu Meng received the order. Although Sun Quan's arrangement was completely different from Lu Meng's expectations, what Sun Quan said must be right!

????????

A few days later,

Lu Meng marched towards Jingbei and opened the barrier on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Liu Bei's army had not many people in Jingbei, and before that it was even more intimidating. Now that he has not stopped the Jiangdong army led by Lu Meng, there is naturally no need to stick to it and go back to Xiangyang to help.

This is beneficial to Sun Quan and others on the river. Because they can finally dock in Jiangbei and can take turns getting off the boat and take a walk.

On this day, Sun Quan, who was fishing by the river, felt aroused in his heart, but he saw someone who shouldn't have appeared.
