"My lord, Jiangling guard Zhang Yun was negligent in his defense, and a large number of Jingnan soldiers were sneaked into Jiangling City."
"Liu Qi suddenly led his troops to attack. With the help of internal and external cooperation, the Jiangling garrison was defeated, and Zhang Yun fled in a panic."
Liu Zhang nodded slightly. It is indeed easy for people to find opportunities when they are not prepared.
After all, Liu Qi’s military advisor was Xu Shu!
With him here, how can Zhang Yun be the opponent of Jingnan soldiers?
"Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue is a great man at any rate, but he handed over such an important place like Jiangling to a loser like Zhang Yun!"
Liu Zhang cursed angrily, not expecting that the deadlock in Jingzhou would be broken like this.
For Yizhou, the best outcome is for Jingzhou to be demarcated by the river.
This would be most beneficial to Liu Zhang's future plans for Jingzhou.
"My lord, Zhang Yun has won Cai Mao's trust. In addition, Zhang Yun is Liu Biao's nephew. He should be the best candidate to defend Jingbei."
Pang Tong was also quite helpless. The situation in Jingbei was very complicated.
In the prefecture and pastorate, families are intertwined with each other, and there is internal friction all the time.
"What Liu Qi's tendons are wrong? How could he have the courage to cross the river?"
In fact, in Liu Zhang's view, it was not the most unreasonable for Zhang Yun to serve as Jiangling garrison.
It is most unreasonable for Liu Qi to send troops northward!
From the beginning to the end, Liu Zhang never thought that Liu Qi would be so bold.
"Lord, if you knew Liu Qi's deployment in Jingnan, you would understand..."
Liu Zhang glanced at Pang Yi strangely, his expression was very strange.
"What's wrong?"
Suddenly, Liu Zhang had a very bad idea in his mind.
However, this idea is almost impossible to realize because it is very inconsistent with the historical process.
"My lord, Liu Qi appointed Liu Bei as the governor of Nanjun, and Zhuge Liang supervised the grain and grass taxation of the four counties of Changsha, Wuling, Lingling and Guiyang."
"With Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as generals and Xu Shu as military advisor, they defeated Cai Mao's 30,000 elite troops in Dangyang!"
"What!"
Liu Zhang screamed in surprise, he didn't expect that he guessed it right!
Liu Bei is actually Liu Bei!
this...
when!
Liu Zhang was furious and slammed the table with a loud bang.
"Big-eared thief!"
"Lord, calm down!"
Everyone was shocked. They had never seen Liu Zhang so angry.
"The damn big-eared thief actually made him come back to life again!"
Liu Zhang was shocked and confused. What was going on?
Even if Liu Bei is in Jingzhou, he should be in Xinye.
At this time, there were still seven years before the Battle of Chibi. How could Liu Bei directly escape to Jingnan?
And Zhuge Liang is only twenty years old. How dare Liu Bei use him?
Was this stimulated by something?
Liu Bei is the governor of Nanjun, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are the generals of the army, Xu Shu is the military advisor, and Zhuge Liang arranges the logistics and food supplies!
Without warning, Liu Bei's rise turned out to be somewhat unstoppable!
In the blink of an eye, the old hen turned into a duck!
How can a fool like Cai Mao be the opponent of Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Xu Shu?
I'm afraid Jingzhou will change hands in a blink of an eye!
"My lord, Kong Ming still failed to live up to my lord's hope and took refuge with Liu Bei..."
"I guess it was Kong Ming who convinced Liu Qi! With Liu Qi's weak character, he must be manipulated by Kong Ming..."
Pang Tong understood the critical nature of the matter, so he sent Fa Zheng and Liu Ye over.
At present, Jingnan still seems to belong to Liu Qi, but maybe the actual owner has subtly turned into Liu Bei!
Liu Zhang gasped angrily, and all his good mood was ruined by this sudden bad news.
The sudden rise of Liu Bei's army completely disrupted Liu Zhang's deployment.
Jingzhou, which has always been in a sluggish state, is likely to become Liu Zhang's thorn in his side!
At this time, Jiangdong is still in civil strife. If Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu find an opportunity, wouldn't it be...
"Shi Yuan, has Xu Shu discussed this with Zhuge Liang in advance?"
"He first went south pretending to assist Liu Qi, but in fact he was paving the way for Liu Bei?"
Pang Tong wanted to tell Liu Zhang that this was not the case, but everything that was happening now pointed to this statement.
"Lord...hey!"
Liu Zhang was even more furious when he saw this, and he was even more certain of this possibility.
"Damn it! What's so good about Liu Bei?"
"A big-eared thief who weaves mats and sells shoes, a hypocrite pretending to be a member of the clan!"
"Xu Yuanzhi and Zhuge Kongming are so blind and willing to fall into the quagmire!"
Everyone watched in silence as Liu Zhang vented his anger, and no one dared to speak out to persuade him.
After a long time, Liu Zhang finally got tired of scolding, but his chest was still heaving violently.
"Gongda, gather the army immediately, I will personally attack the big-eared bandits!"
Liu Zhang's mind became hot and he couldn't care much anymore. He absolutely couldn't let Liu Bei develop steadily.
Historical experience told Liu Zhang that letting Liu Bei go would bring unexpected changes to him.
"My lord, no!"
Xun You exclaimed and quickly stopped Liu Zhang's impulse.
"Lord, after successive battles, our troops and horses have been severely damaged, and we are currently unable to carry out external conquests."
"If we forcibly send troops to Jingzhou, all the soldiers in the Guanzhong area will inevitably be transferred to Yufu. The army will travel thousands of miles? How can we win with such a exhausted army?"
"Guanzhong has just been captured by us. If all the elite troops are transferred away, there is a danger of losing Guanzhong at any time!"
"If Guanzhong is lost and the war in Jingzhou goes wrong, all our years of hard work will be in vain!"
"Please, my lord, think twice!"
Xun You was afraid that Liu Zhang would get into trouble, so he knelt down on the ground.
"Please, my lord, think twice!"
Pang Tong, Fazheng, Liu Ye, and Deng Zhi also knelt on the ground and begged Liu Zhang not to be impulsive.
"call..."
"You guys get up first."
Everyone strongly opposed it, which also made Liu Zhang's fevered mind slightly clearer.
"I never expected that the big-eared thief would gain the upper hand!"
Hearing that Liu Zhang's excited tone had softened, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.
"My lord, no matter how powerful Liu Bei is, it will only be limited to Jingzhou."
"Even if Cai Mao and Kuai Liang are defeated by Liu Bei, they will not be easily eliminated by Liu Bei."
"The heritage of the four great families in Jingzhou cannot be shaken by a little Liu Bei!"
Pang Tong quickly analyzed the current situation to Liu Zhang and firmly told Liu Zhang that Liu Bei could not soar to the sky.
The Jingnan family was weak, so they were suppressed by Liu Qi and Xu Shu for several years.
Once you reach the northern part of Jingzhou, you will be completely under the control of the clan.
Even if Liu Bei suddenly emerges again, he will encounter unprecedented obstacles.
Pang Tong believed that Jingzhou would not be pacified by Liu Bei for at least several years.
"Shi Yuan, Zhuge Liang is closely related to the four major families. With him..."
If it were just Liu Bei and Xu Shu, Liu Zhang would not be so worried.
Only with Zhuge Liang, this matter becomes serious.
Who can guarantee that the Jingzhou family will not be persuaded by Zhuge Liang and completely turn to Liu Bei?
