A family banquet came to an end in a breathtaking atmosphere. For Zhao Fei, seeing Guo Jia continue to grow, he, as an elder brother, naturally felt very happy. You must know that the genius Guo Jia is the person Zhao Fei admires the most. Cao Cao is in Guo Jia It is absolutely obvious to all that what great achievements he has made with the help of Zhao Fei. Therefore, Zhao Fei naturally does not want the ghost Guo Jia to sink like this. He hopes that Guo Jia can live up to the name of the ghost.
As Guo Jia returned to Xuchang, Cao's army fell silent again. After Ma Teng was so easily dealt with, all the princes in the world immediately knew that even though Cao Jun, the tiger, had fallen asleep, he still had the ability to hurt people. If he wanted to hurt people, all the world would know. There really is no one to defend me.
When the news spread throughout the world, Liu Biao of Jingzhou was obviously very worried. Cao Jun's growing strength put great pressure on Liu Biao. Liu Biao knew that Cao Jun's next goal must be his own. After all, he occupied the most prosperous state and county in the world.
Jingzhou is not only strategically located but also very prosperous. Jingzhou is the axis of the Han Dynasty. If you occupy Jingzhou, Cao's army can truly advance, attack, retreat and defend. With Jingzhou as a springboard, they can capture Wu Yue in the east and attack Bashu in the west.
Naturally, Cao Jun has coveted such an important position for a long time. In the past, there was the threat of the Yuan family in Hebei, and Jingzhou itself was powerful. Although Cao Jun coveted Jingzhou's land, he did not have the courage to raise troops to invade Jingzhou. After all, Jingzhou's hundreds of thousands of armored troops were not a joke. For play
Now Cao Jun defeated the Yuan family and occupied Hebei. In an instant, Cao Jun made a qualitative leap in strength and strength. Cao Jun, who didn't care at first, has now become his biggest enemy. It is absolutely impossible to deal with such a powerful enemy carelessly.
He does have some strength in occupying Jingzhou, but his soldiers are obviously no match for Cao Jun's tiger and wolf division. Cao Jun's combat effectiveness is unknown to everyone in the world. In addition, it is obviously very difficult for Zhao Fei, a world-famous counselor, to defeat Cao Cao.
In any case, Liu Biao obviously will not sit still and wait for death. Although he is just a scholar and although he has no ambitions, this does not mean that he will be slaughtered by others. Although Cao Jun's combat effectiveness is strong, the only flaw is that Cao Jun's subordinates are all northerners who are not good at water warfare.
And this is obviously the advantage of Jingzhou's soldiers. Although Jingzhou may not be able to withstand Cao Jun's crazy attack, Jingnan has been south of the Yangtze River for generations. As long as he takes good care of the natural hazards, even if Cao Jun's combat effectiveness is strong, there is still nothing he can do.
Before the battle, Liu Biao thought about retreating. This was obviously a problem. As the saying goes, the soldiers were raging, the generals were raging, the den was raging, and the lord had no idea of competing with Cao's army. How could he ask the soldiers to fight to the death for him? It can be said that the battle had not begun yet. Liu Biao I lost a lot
However, this was a desperate move. Liu Biao's occupation of Jingzhou seemed very prosperous, but if you really think about it, Liu Biao was just half a puppet. What really mattered in Jingzhou was the wealthy and prominent families in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao was just their spokesperson.
The reason why Liu Biao was able to occupy Youzhou was also because of the help of the aristocratic family. Without the help of the Cai family, the largest noble family in Jingzhou, how could he have safely assumed the position of Jingzhou pastor? It can be said that without the Cai family, Liu Biao would not be where he is today.
The Cai family is a famous family in Jingzhou. Among the many families in Jingzhou, the Cai family can be said to be unique and firmly occupying the first gentry family in Jingzhou. The reason why the name is inseparable from the current patriarch of the Cai family, Cai Mao.
As we all know, Cai Mao is the younger brother of Liu Biao's family, so the common thought is that Cai Mao ascended to the position of governor of Jingxiang through nepotism. In fact, otherwise, Cai Mao's ability to become the governor of Jingxiang is inseparable from his own ability.
Putting aside everything else, just looking at the few years that Cai Mao was the governor of Jingzhou, we can know that when Cai Mao was the governor, the country was prosperous and the people were safe. Jingzhou's economic development was among the best in the country, and Cao Cao and Sun Quan could not capture Jingzhou. If Cai Mao was a loser, even if he was mediocre, it would be considered Cao Cao. The fight with Yuan Shao was so fierce that Jiangdong Zhou Lang was a vegetarian. Zhou Lang's world was divided into two parts. The first step was to capture Jingzhou, a military important place that is important for money and food.
Moreover, when Liu Bei defected to Liu Biao, Cai Mao saw Liu Bei's true nature at a glance. In his opinion, Liu Bei was unworthy of being taken in for two reasons. One was that Liu Bei was unfaithful and his master could not take him in. The other was that Liu Bei was ambitious and would not rely on others. The second point is very insightful. Liu Bei is a great hero who has lofty ambitions and will not rely on others.
It can be seen that Cai Hao is not only capable but also very insightful. However, Liu Biao obviously does not trust Cai Hao. After all, Cai Hao is suspected of having great achievements. Firstly, the Cai family is too powerful, which makes Liu Biao feel very uneasy. Secondly, Cai Hao's His performance also made him have many vassals around him, which also made Cai Mao's power become more powerful. Facing such a subordinate would give anyone a headache.
Liu Biao not only had to worry about when Cao Jun would attack, but also whether Cai Hao had the intention to rebel. If Cai Hao had the intention to rebel, whether he would be able to resist all this gave Liu Biao a headache, which also made Liu Biao feel very helpless.
For Liu Bei, Liu Biao naturally knew that this was a wild wolf. Taking him in was definitely an unwise choice. However, for Liu Biao, Liu Bei might also become a means to restrict Cai Hao. After all, he did not have the ability to restrict Cai Hao in Jingzhou.
The phenomenon that Cai Mao's family is dominant in Jingzhou is obviously not good. If he can use Liu Bei's power to restrain Cai Mao, Liu Biao will be able to solve an annoying thing. Cai Mao wants to kill Liu Bei, Liu Biao is very clear, and he can just use this contradiction to make the two People attack each other and consume strength
Liu Biao has been a puppet for so long and has no hope of getting rid of it. Now Liu Bei's appearance has given Liu Biao a glimmer of hope, so he will naturally not deal with Liu Bei easily, nor will he let Cai Mao succeed easily. If Liu Bei is really dead, then who in Jingzhou can compete with Cai Hao? compete with
Although Cai Mao is an important general under his command, he is also the patriarch of a noble family. For a noble family, what they value most is profit. As long as there is profit, they will easily betray their trust, and all this is for the prosperity of the family.
As the leader of the gentry clan, Cai Mao is obviously not immune to such clichéd things. Therefore, if Cao Jun really attacks the Cai clan in the future and wants to gain support from Cao Jun for his own benefit, Cai Hao will definitely switch to Cao Cao [
Cai Mao's men controlled most of the soldiers in Jingzhou. If Cai Mao really defected to Cao's army, Liu Biao obviously had no means of resistance, so to prepare for a rainy day, it is best to think of his own retreat before this happens. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would be a disaster. I don’t know how I died.
In this era, every prince is not a fuel-efficient one. If you look down on any prince, you will be buried in a place of death. Liu Biao obviously understands this. In the eyes of others, he is just a puppet, but who knows about him? There are so many ulterior secrets hidden in my heart. If this were really revealed, I’m afraid few people in the world would not be surprised.
Liu Biao rubbed his forehead and stood up slowly. Cao Jun's incident had put a lot of pressure on him, but it was also his opportunity. If he could seize this opportunity, he would really be able to turn around in the future. Thinking of this, Liu Biao
Showed a smile
Unlike Liu Biao, Liu Bei has not seen a smile for a long time. During this time, Liu Bei's expression was full of frustration and sorrow. Liu Bei obviously had a way to treat the results achieved by Cao Jun with a normal heart.
Thinking back to the time when I was fighting against the Yellow Turbans and now I have been wandering among different powers, unable to stabilize myself. It was as if God was working against me. As long as I stabilized myself, things would happen very quickly.
Now he has finally settled down in Xinye, but he is afraid that it won't be long before Xinye will obviously be in the flames of war. This kind of war is obviously not something Liu Bei's troops can resist, because he knows that Xinye will definitely become the first line of resistance against Cao's army.
Although this is a front, the only person guarding this front is Liu Biao. Although he calls himself a brother, in critical moments, he will obviously give up without hesitation. The reality is so cruel that Liu Bei has no room for resistance.
For Liu Bei, although he continues to expand his military strength, relying on the small area of Xinye to resist Cao Jun's offensive is obviously a bit of a cannibalism. Cao Jun has an army of hundreds of thousands, and he can't even get a fraction of it.
There are indeed many battles in the world in which the weak defeat the strong, but Liu Bei does not think that he has such ability. After all, Cao Jun has many strategists under his command, especially Lieutenant Zhao Fei, who is not an easy person to deal with.
Liu Bei suffered a lot from Zhao Fei, so for Zhao Fei, Liu Bei always had a faint fear in his heart. He was very afraid of fighting Zhao Fei because he could no longer bear the huge failure.
However, these are obviously Liu Bei's wishful thinking. As long as Cao Jun goes to war, Zhao Fei will definitely attack him personally. After all, the hatred between Cao Jun and himself is obvious. Zhao Fei wants to kill himself more than once.
"Alas~~" Liu Bei let out another long sigh and suddenly felt that his future was very dark. It was obvious that he didn't know where his future was, and he didn't know whether he could avert such an unfavorable situation. Everything was possible.
