The two armies of Berkshire, Fish Belly City, Liu Zhang, and Liu Biao have been confronting each other for more than a month.

A month ago, Liu Biao worshiped Cai Mao as the general, Liu Pan as the vanguard, and Kuai Yue as the military adviser, and led an army of 50,000 to attack Caichuankou in the Three Gorges.

Xun You personally went to Yufu to supervise the battle, and ordered Xu Huang to defend Yufu to the death, Gan Ning led the navy to station Baidi, and ordered Wu Yi and Wu Lan to lead their troops to garrison the main road of Yufu to Quren.

Xun You closed the gate of the city tightly and made a gesture that he would never leave the city for a decisive battle.

Liu Biao's army had no choice but to attack the city.

During this period, Cai Mao intended to leave troops behind to besiege Yufu and Baidi City, while he himself led the army straight into the hinterland of Berkshire. However, he was strongly opposed by the military adviser Kuai Yue.

The water flow at the mouth of the Three Gorges was so strong that even the Jingzhou Navy could only park their boats near Wu County, then abandon the boats and go ashore to attack Yufu on foot.

If he relied on Cai Mao's strategy and led the army deep into Berkshire, he would only end up besieged and killed.

The 50,000 sailors are the basis for Liu Biao to stabilize Jingzhou, and Kuai Yue absolutely does not allow Cai Mao to take risks.

He has even clearly expressed his attitude, even if he returns in vain, he must not waste his troops on Berkshire.

Kuai's status in Jingzhou is extremely high, and Cai's status is not in vain, so Cai Mao can only suppress his offensive thoughts and confront Xun You in Yufu.

Fortunately, Jingzhou has plenty of grain and grass, and the Yangtze River can transport grain, so Cai Mao is not worried that there will be food shortages in the long-term confrontation.

As the confrontation continued, the weather gradually warmed up, which was more beneficial to the Jingzhou Army.

Cai Mao has already said that even if he is sleepy, he will sleep Yufu and the defenders of Baidi City. Not afraid of Berkshire, he vowed not to stop fighting!

There was no danger in the confrontation, and Kuai Yue was quite confident in his own resourcefulness, so he did not urge Cai Mao to withdraw his troops and return to Jing.

Yufucheng County, Xun You has lived here for a month.

Under his proper deployment, the Jingzhou army could not advance an inch. Correspondingly, however, the Yizhou Army did not make any achievements. The two sides just confronted each other, and even the siege battles were only a few times.

"Military division, the Jingzhou soldiers outside are totally vulnerable, and the chief general Cai Mao is an idiot who is greedy for meritorious deeds. Why don't we take the initiative to attack?"

Xu Huang has proposed in front of Xun You more than once, and although he was rejected every time, he still enjoys it.

In his opinion, the 50,000 Jingzhou troops outside were completely vulnerable. If Xun You can order Wu Yi and Wu Lan to lead the army, together with his own elite Wubu battalion and Gan Ning's 10,000 sailors, he can definitely defeat the Jingzhou army outside the city.

Once the Jingzhou army is destroyed, the Berkshire crisis will naturally be resolved.

"Gongming, why have you lost your composure recently? In my lord's impression, you are a general who is not chaotic in times of crisis!"

In Bazhong City before, Xun You worked with Zhang Liao and Xu Huang for a long time, and he spoke very highly of them.

Xu Huang was loyal, brave, and friendly to soldiers, and won the hearts of soldiers.

After these years of growth, Xu Huang is already a general who can stand on his own.

It was precisely because of Xu Huang's calmness that Liu Zhang gave him the fish with confidence.

"Military division, it's not that Xu Huang is eager to make contributions, but he is really worried about the safety of Yizhou."

Ever since the 50,000 navy from Jingzhou attacked, Xu Huang felt that things were definitely not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

If Liu Biao had the intention to get involved in Yizhou, he could have marched before Zhao Wei was destroyed, why did it take more than a year?

It was later confirmed that things were not that simple. Hanzhong, Berkshire, and Nanzhong were attacked at the same time!

Xu Huang was so anxious that he wished to destroy the Jingzhou navy outside the city immediately, and then immediately support Liu Zhang.

"Gongming, I understand the situation in Yizhou. Don't worry, my lord has already made arrangements."

Xun You smiled, his eyes full of confidence. It was such a calm and confident expression that stabilized Xu Huang again and again.

"military adviser…"

"Gongming, if you can't bear it a little, you can make big plans. As a general, you must be calm, and you must not change your face when Mount Tai collapses in front of you!"

Xu Huang opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, and could only leave helplessly.

"call…"

After Xu Huang left, Xun You stood up and went outside, looking at the clear sky, he exhaled lightly.

"My lord, you must deal with it..."

In fact, Xun You didn't know Liu Zhang's plan at all, but he knew Huang Zhong's detour to Jiangzhou to Hanzhong.

Liu Zhang has Jia Xu sitting beside him, and not long ago he got two great talents, Lu Su and Liu Ye!

Judging by Liu Zhang's knowledge of people, Xun You firmly believed that these two people must not be idle.

Right now Xun You is defending Kawaguchi and not attacking, he is just waiting for news from Chengdu.

Taking ten thousand steps back, if something really happens, Xun You can also order Wu Yi and Wu Lan to lead the army back to help.

It's not that Xun You doesn't want to attack, he's waiting, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

With the long-term defense, the Jingzhou army outside the city is getting more and more slack. As soon as the crisis in Chengdu is resolved, Xun You will be able to launch an offensive immediately, and with the force of thunder, the Jingzhou navy will be wiped out!

"Report!"

Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the house, a soldier ran in in a panic.

"What is it?"

Xun You frowned slightly, it might not be a good thing to have an urgent report at this time.

"Reporting to the prefect, there are messengers from Chengdu, and they are calling for eight hundred li to hurry up as soon as they enter the city!"

"Let him in!"

Xun You's expression tightened, and he couldn't help clenching his palms lightly. There was also a trace of fear in his heart, fear is evil reward!

Soon the soldier was brought in. The orderly was disheveled and his lips were chapped. It must be a lie to rush for eight hundred miles!

"What happened to Chengdu?"

"Report to the prefect, Hanzhong's defenders wiped out 10,000 people in Jingzhou, Ma Teng in Liangzhou, and Han Sui 70,000. Now the danger in Hanzhong has been resolved!"

"General Tai Shici is leading the Wufeng Battalion back to Chengdu. My lord has already set out to go south to defeat the enemy personally. I have ordered Taishou Xun to use his forces to defeat the Jingzhou navy as soon as possible."

It turned out to be good news, and Xun You finally breathed a sigh of relief!

Xun You immediately understood Liu Zhang's meaning of rushing the eight hundred miles.

Hit a time difference!

If Liu Biao learns about the situation in Hanzhong, he will immediately order Cai Mao to retreat!

Liu Zhang informed him of the news day and night, in order to teach the Jingzhou navy a lesson before Cai Mao retreated!

"Take a break, and then report back to the lord, saying that Xun You will definitely beat the Jingzhou navy!"

"Yu Fu, they don't come and leave whenever they want!"

When the crisis in Hanzhong is lifted, Xun You will have no worries anymore, and he can plan without scruples!

Xu Huang, Gan Ning, Wu Yi, and Wu Lan have a total of 30,000 troops. If Xun You can't defeat Cai Mao again, he really doesn't deserve the name of a mastermind.

"Here's the order, let Wu Yi and Wu Lan lead the army here, and go to Baidi City to send a message to Gan Ning, let him come to see me!"
