Cao Cao would not give up these seven places in Jingzhou. They were the center of the world and must be fought over by military strategists, and the city defense here was better than other places.
Important cities even have moats, horse guns, crossbow towers and even barbicans!
It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is beneficial and harmless to occupy this city!
With Cao Cao's current military strength, there is absolutely no need to give up!
Now that Liu Biao is dead, if he looks for another opportunity, he will have to spend double or even more troops. Zhao Feng naturally knows this.
"Little Jiangdong, you also want to make waves?" Zhao Feng bowed and said, "Our original plan remains unchanged. Since Sun Zhongmou wants Jiangdong, we might as well help him!"
As soon as this statement came out, Cao Cao became confused and asked: "Commander, do you mean to kill Sun Ce?"
Zhao Feng shook his head and said: "Divide and divide Jiangdong's forces into two factions. When the time comes, they will naturally fight among themselves without our need to take action."
Just a few words were enough for Cao Cao to understand what he meant, but the plan behind it was definitely not simple.
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Then I'll trouble the military advisor. I'll withdraw half of the Youzhou Tongque and send it to Jiangdong."
Then Cao Cao left with Tongque, and Zhao Feng looked in the direction of Jiangdong with a smile.
This Sun Quan is Yuan Shu who knows how to be forbearing. He has the idea of proclaiming himself emperor in his heart. He was very clear about the jade seal that he claimed to be missing!
This jade seal fell into the hands of Sun Quan, and not even Sun Ce knew about this news!
Sun Quan thought he could hide it from everyone, but he didn't expect that all of this was happening under Zhao Feng's eyes.
The next day, Jingzhou, under the suggestion of Chen Gong, supported Liu Qi as the shepherd of Jingzhou in Liu Qi's name, which angered many of Liu Biao's old subordinates.
This directly strengthened Lu Bu's strength. Originally, Lu Bu already had less than 100,000 troops when he evacuated from Sizhou. Now, after absorbing the old troops, the number increased to 150,000 in an instant!
Lu Bu, who was in the school grounds, looked at the soldiers in front of him with a smile. Tens of thousands of soldiers were sent to him today, and Jiangdong Sun Quan even took the initiative to form an alliance.
As long as Cao Cao's advance is slower, he may even be able to take all Liu Biao's old troops in Jingzhou as his own.
Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong who was standing aside and asked, "Gongtai, today is auspicious, what should we do?"
Although Chen Gong is not a man of big plans, he is not weak at all in small things. After thinking about it for the past few days, he has also seen the situation clearly.
"Lord, I suggest taking the initiative to attack Nanyang!"
Lu Bu asked doubtfully: "Gongtai, didn't you ask us to withdraw from Nanyang before? Why do we have to fight back now?"
Chen Gong took out the terrain map and continued: "Nanyang is extremely important. We were previously weaker than Cao Cao. Now that we have absorbed Liu Biao's old troops, we must attack Nanyang!"
"As long as we capture Nanyang, we can stop Cao Cao from amassing an army!"
"The terrain in Jingzhou is uneven and it is inconvenient to station a large army. As long as we drive them out, they will have to retreat to Sizhou. In this period of time, we can completely integrate Liu Biao's old troops in the seven places in Jingzhou!"
"When Cao's army invades, we can just surrender. Our goal has already been achieved."
Since Liu Biao died of illness, Chen Gong has been thinking about this strategy, which has become perfect in his mind, if he can capture all Liu Biao's old troops in Jingzhou.
Lu Bu's military strength can even exceed 200,000 troops. By then, Lu Bu's strength will fully make him one of the largest princes in the Han Dynasty.
After listening to Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu showed a hint of ambition in his eyes.
"Okay, everything goes as Gongtai said, immediately dispatch the army to attack Xinye!"
"Now that Xinye only has Cao Ren's Karasuma troops, how can he defend our attack?"
Regarding this battle, Lu Bu was extremely confident.
Without any hesitation, under Lu Bu's order, they gathered their troops and headed directly from Nanjun towards Xinye that day.
Nanyang Xinye.
"General, Lu Bu has gathered 100,000 troops in Nanjun and is coming towards us!"
Naturally, the scouts noticed such a huge momentum.
Cao Ren had a smile in his eyes, as if he knew Lu Bu would come.
There was a trace of fighting spirit in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Well done, everyone has organized the army and is ready to fight Lu Bu!"
Cao Ren looked ahead. He wanted to see how strong this Lu Bu was. He was not stupid enough to fight Lu Bu alone. To have such confidence, he naturally did not rely on himself.
It came from the military advisor, which gave him immense confidence. Zhao Feng had already anticipated this battle when he sent him to Nanyang.
Countless soldiers did not stick to the city, but left the city one after another. All 50,000 troops came outside the city, waiting for Lu Bu's arrival.
At about the same time as predicted by the scouts, Lu Bu's 100,000-strong army arrived here in just two hours.
Lu Bu personally led his troops to this battle, and even Chen Gong came to supervise the battle, which shows the importance of this battle to Lu Bu.
Cao Ren looked at Lu Bu's 100,000-strong army in front of him and said with a smile: "Everyone, form an array!"
Following Cao Ren's order, the beating of war drums, and the blowing of horns, an army of 50,000 people revolved around Cao Ren.
Fifty thousand soldiers were divided into sixty-four branches, and countless dust was raised. However, the sixty-four branches seemed to be on their own but also complementary to each other.
Looking from a distance, this formation actually contains the meaning of Qimen Dunjia's mutual support and mutual restraint. It seems to be full of loopholes, but in fact there is no way to start.
Fifty thousand people were standing in front of Lu Bu, quietly waiting for Lu Bu's attack.
Watching this scene, Lu Bu's expression changed slightly. Although he was not good at leading troops in formations, he could still feel that this formation was unusual.
Seeing the 50,000-strong army abandoning the city defense outside the city, Lu Bu, who was leading an army of 100,000, did not dare to send troops. At the same time, there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes as he looked at Chen Gong aside.
"Gongtai, what kind of formation is this?"
For Lu Bu, Chen Gong is well-informed and should know this formation.
Chen Gong also showed a hint of shock. Although he had some plans, leading troops to fight was his blind spot. He just deduced this formation and already knew that there was a strong murderous intent in the formation.
There are eight entrances revealed by the formation, and each entrance is extremely dangerous.
Chen Gong has also seen a lot. He has really never seen this formation. Even though he doesn't want to admit it, he can only say this.
"This formation is so mysterious that it may not be easy to break!"
"My lord can send a thousand elite soldiers to enter from the southwest entrance to give it a try."
Hearing what Chen Gongdu said, Lu Bu's expression changed. He had never heard of this formation. When did Cao Ren have such ability?
Lu Bu said directly and loudly: "Come here, send a thousand elite soldiers to attack from the southwest entrance!"
Cao Ren showed a smile in front of the formation. This formation was an eight-door golden lock formation. Although he had studied it in his early years, he had perfected it a lot with the help of his military advisor!
