Chapter 1010 Liu Xiu wants to plot Jiangxia

 Chapter 1010 Liu Xiu wants to plot Jiangxia

Jingbei.

Liu Yu looked at Liu Xiu who said that Zhu Yuanzhang was very calculating, but he cursed secretly in his heart, you are also very calculating!

It was not until the end of the battle that Liu Yu discovered that he had unknowingly fallen into Liu Xiu's scheme again.

Previously, Liu Yu used Xiang Yu's head as a bet for the two of them to become the lords of Jingzhou. This was Liu Yu's delaying strategy. After all, after the battle of Jiangxia, his troops had been almost destroyed.

Liu Xiu also agreed to the bet on the condition that he would temporarily act as the lord of Jingzhou until the outcome of the bet was determined.

At first, Liu Yu thought Liu Xiu didn't want civil strife in front of foreign enemies, but after the war, he realized that he was overthinking it. Although Liu Xiu really didn't want to continue civil strife at this time, what was he thinking about it?

Nothing less.

During the Battle of Xiangyang, Liu Xiu temporarily took over as the lord of Jingzhou and officially became the leader of this battle. After Xiang Yu retreated, in the eyes of the people below, it was Liu Xiu who led the army and people of northern Jingzhou to repel the great army.

Demon King Xiang Yu.

Therefore, after this battle, Liu Xiu's prestige in Jingbei has been raised to a new level. Now, Liu Xiu is not only far behind Liu Yu in terms of strength, but also far behind Liu Yu in terms of prestige.

A lot of money.

Now, Liu Xiu can be said to have gained both face and pride. On the other hand, Liu Yu's gap with Liu Xiu in all aspects is getting wider and wider, and he seems to be getting further and further away from his position as the Lord of Jingzhou.

"No, we must take back Jiangxia!" After thinking, Liu Xiu said with an extremely solemn expression.

The geographical location of Jiangxia is really important. It is an important town that all the princes of Jingyang are fighting for. Xiang Yu's first goal now must be to return to Jingbei. If he loses sight of one thing and loses another, Jiangxia will be in trouble if it is captured by Zhu Yuanzhang!

Liu Yu, however, slightly glanced at Liu Xiu and took back Jiangxia. Although he also knew that this matter was very important, to put it nicely, how could they have the troops to take back Jiangxia?

Deploying troops from Nanyang? But what to do with Nanyang? Although Jiangxia is important to Jingbei, it is far from comparable to Nanyang. Compared with Nanyang, Jiangxia’s strategic position is still limited to Jingbei, but in terms of money and food

, above population, the two sides are not on the same level at all.

"You should know that we don't have that many troops!" Liu Yu couldn't help but remind him.

At the same time, he also wanted to see what his brother was thinking. Since the other party was talking about getting Jiang Xia back, it must be more than just talk. At least he already had a rough plan in mind.

"No, we have troops, and we still have 80,000 troops!" Liu Xiu said in a flash.

"Where did we come from..." Liu Yu just wanted to subconsciously refute, but suddenly he seemed to think of something again, and his tone changed, "You should know that those 80,000 people just picked up weapons.

They are just common people with no fighting power at all! Let these people go to invade Jiangxia, but they will die in vain!"

When Li Xiang attacked Yongliang, princes such as Li Xiang, Yang Jian, Ma Teng, and Fu Jian all had a history of temporarily recruiting troops.

At the beginning, when Jiangxia was first broken, Liu Xiu and Liu Yu were naturally not so stupid as not to even think of temporarily recruiting an army of soldiers.

However, although soldiers and horses were recruited, and these two men were so fierce that they recruited 80,000 soldiers and horses at once. After all, that was the time when the soldiers and people of Jingbei were aroused to resist, so it was much more convenient to recruit soldiers and horses.

However, later, due to various reasons, Liu Xiu decided to face the enemy head-on. However, the combat effectiveness of these ordinary people who had just picked up weapons was too weak. If they were really used in field battles, it would only affect the few elite soldiers they had.

horse.

After all, with the combat effectiveness of these soldiers and horses, facing the wave of elites under Xiang Yu, I am afraid they will be scattered in one wave of attacks.

If there is a bad situation, if there is a rout, their elite soldiers and horses will also be dragged down, and they will be left in the cold.

Therefore, Liu Xiu never used these troops.

"Second brother, Xiang Yu is in a hurry to return to Jingnan and won't leave too many troops in Jiangxia. We don't need to attack head-on at all!" Liu Xiu said without hesitation.

"Boom!" Countless thoughts emerged in his mind. Liu Yu didn't think much about it just now, but now that Liu Xiu reminded him, he finally guessed what Liu Xiu wanted to do!

After all, when it comes to uniting troops in combat, there is not much difference between these two people.

Liu Xiu was right when he said that Xiang Yu would not be able to leave too many troops in Jiangxia at this time. The most likely number would be 10,000, and no matter how many there were, it would definitely not exceed 15,000.

Therefore, the opponent will definitely concentrate its troops in one city in Jiangxia, and I am afraid that there will not be too many troops stationed in the other counties in Jiangxia County.

These newly mobilized soldiers and horses indeed have little combat effectiveness. If they attack Jiangxia City, it will be no different than committing suicide.

However, it was different when targeting other counties in Jiangxia County. Xiang Jun had completely lost the hearts and minds of the people in Jiangxia and secretly instigated the people to cooperate with them internally and externally. It could be said that it would be effortless to capture these counties.

And when they captured the surrounding counties one by one, leaving only the city of Jiangxia, what could the other side do? How could the isolated city be defended?

When Li Xiang attacked Yongzhou, even though Yang Jian concentrated his troops in one city, he was trapped in an isolated city! At that time, Yang Jian had no hope of repelling Li Xiang on his own. What he thought was that the princes of Guandong could attack Hangu and force Li Xiang to attack.

Soar and return slowly.

Therefore, in order to persist long enough and to prevent being defeated one by one, Yang Jian concentrated all his troops in Chang'an City and guarded the isolated city.

Moreover, at that time, Yang Jian had already stocked up a large amount of grain, grass, and supplies in Chang'an City. Even if it was an isolated city, he was not worried about any problems.

However, the situation in Jiangxia is different. There is not enough food, grass, and materials at all. Wang Zhen'e is also a famous general. He has been ranked among the Tang and Song Dynasty martial arts temples. How could he possibly replace those who were originally in Jiangxia City?

Leave food and grass supplies to Xiang Yu?

The situation in Jingnan is urgent. Is it possible that instead of rushing back to help, a batch of supplies can be specially left for them?

Therefore, capture the surrounding counties and, if possible, cut off the water supply. At that time, they do not need to take the initiative to attack, and the other party will have to obediently make room for them.

Now, the only problem is Zhu Yuanzhang. Once Zhu Yuanzhang's people take Jiangxia City first, there will be nothing they can do. With their current situation, they do not have the confidence to take the initiative to provoke Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, when Liu Yu saw Liu Xiu's behavior, he knew that the other party must have found a way.
