Liu Bei promised Lu Su to wait for Zhou Yu for three days.

Liu Bei was not idle during these three days, and sent a special envoy to report to Liu Biao urgently, asking Liu Biao to send garrison troops to defend Jiangxia to avoid giving Changshan Army an opportunity.

This shocked Liu Biao of Xiangyang City, and he could only hurry up and let Huang Zu lead his army into Jiangxia. At the same time, he sent a letter to Liu Bei to persuade him.

Without Liu Bei's soldiers to defend him, Huang Zu alone would not be able to stop the Changshan Army's fierce attack.

If Jiangxia loses, there will be no barrier in the southeast of Jingzhou. Changshan's army goes north to attack Xiangyang. It only needs to cross the Han River and it will be flat!

It's a pity that Liu Bei has decided to leave.

After handing over the military defense of Jiangxia to Huang Zu.

Three days later, Zhou Yu's navy still had not arrived. Liu Bei did not continue to wait and led his army northward.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tai Shi Ci, Guan Hai and other soldiers naturally followed closely behind.

Lu Su did not leave with Liu Bei. After all, he was Jiangdong's adviser, and the two sides were just an alliance.

But after Liu Bei left Jiangxia, he had no reason to stay here. The ferry went down the Yangtze River.

Not far after Lu Su left, he met the belatedly arrived Navy Commander Zhou Yu.

"Gongjin, you're too late!"

After Lu Su boarded the ship, the first words he saw from Zhou Yu were regretful.

This surprised Zhou Yu. After questioning, Lu Su told the cause and effect in detail, and spoke highly of Liu Bei..

Zhou Yu also praised and said:"Liu Xuande is really a hero!"

"Gong Jin, I'm afraid Liu Bei will be in bad luck if he goes here! Lu Su nodded and sighed and said,"This plan of the Changshan Army is really killing three birds with one stone!""

"More than that."

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, turned to look north, and said thoughtfully:

"Zijing, you still take things for granted!

If Jiangxia loses, Zhao Yun and other Changshan troops can use this to go north. The allied forces of Zang Ba and Gao Shun who defeated Nanyang City took this opportunity to move south, and the two armies joined forces to attack Xiangyang. I am afraid that Liu Biao will be in trouble, and his defeat is certain!

After the Changshan Army captured Xiangyang, they used Xiangyang as a springboard to intimidate Jingzhou to the south of the Yangtze River and Yizhou. The road to Sichuan in the future will be smooth sailing!

This is a plan that kills five birds with one stone!"

Although Zhou Yu admired Liu Bei a lot, he didn't pay much attention to it. Therefore, he never thought that Chang Shan's army had another plan to lure Liu Bei to his death!

However, in a short period of time, through Lu Su's relay, he could get a glimpse of the leopard. It can be seen that Zhou Yu His intelligence and resourcefulness are beyond imagination!

Lu Su was horrified by Zhou Yu's words!

He thought he had seen through the plan, but he didn't expect that he only saw the surface and didn't even touch the deeper threshold!

This was actually A plan within a plan, a plan that kills five birds with one stone!

"It’s simply a stroke of genius! Lu Su exclaimed in admiration:"Whose hand did it come from?" Guo Jia? Xun You? Xun Yu? Cheng Yu? Jia Xu?"

"Jia Xu is in charge of Liangzhou, and Xun Yu is in charge of Changshan to mobilize logistics. These two people should not have extra energy to focus on this.

Zhou Yu shook his head and said,"I don't know where Guo Jia and Cheng Yu are."

But I think the details of this plan are somewhat different from the two's previous plans. Xun You was in charge of Sili, and the coalition forces of Zang Ba and Gao Shun happened to pass by Sili and headed south. Maybe he was the one who took action.

Of course, King Changshan has a cloud of fierce generals and a rain of advisers. People like Ju Shou Tian Feng are also smart and resourceful people. I am not sure!"

Lu Su also sighed.

Today's Changshan Army is so powerful that there is no weakness at all!

The soldiers are invincible in land battles, and the counselors are extremely intelligent and capable of governing the world. They are simply monolithic!

King Changshan is really the hero of the world, a peerless general and capable of governing the world. All the ministers willingly surrendered to him and surrendered to him!

Is this the true style of a king?!

Their current resistance is unknown, they are struggling to the death, and they don’t know how long they can last!

Lu Su sighed in his heart, if it weren’t for the sinister mistake at the beginning Yangcuo surrendered to Sun Jian. If he had continued to stay in Xuzhou, he might have joined the Changshan Army now!

Sighing, Lu Su asked:"Gong Jin, where should we go now?"

"The land north of the Yangtze River in Jingzhou is afraid that it will follow in our footsteps. We can only resist the river, there is no other way!

"Now that I have arrived in Jiangxia, I want to see the governor of Jiangxia. It is time for our alliance to do our best."

Zhou Yu said firmly.

Lu Su nodded:"That's very good."

The navy headed towards Jiangxia in a mighty manner.

……

Just when Liu Bei rushed to rescue Nanyang City and Zhou Yu and Lu Su met with the Jiangxia prefect, Liu Chen, who was in Xiapi State in Xuzhou, also led the Changshan Army Staff to move to Lujiang.

Compared with the construction and development of Xuzhou and Yuzhou, Lujiang and Jiujiang have just been put into construction. After all, they fell into Liu Chen's hands not long ago.

According to Liu Chen's order, the primary purpose of Jiujiang County and Lujiang County is to build cement roads and ports.

The former is for logistics transportation, and the latter is for the battle across the river in the near future.

Liu Chen also used the [Krypton Money Acceleration] function to accelerate his money madly. Construction and development time is being rapidly reduced, and efficiency is also accelerating. certainly.

War points are also decreasing crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The more than 700 million points obtained in the Guangling battle, plus the remaining 150 million points, totaled more than 800 million points.

With the construction of Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and now Lujiang and Jiujiang, there are only more than 500 million left.

Fortunately, these expenses were worth it. When Liu Chen went all the way to Lujiang County, the construction army was making great efforts.

These engineering soldiers were all surrendered by the defeated Yuan-Shao Allied Forces. As for the surrendered soldiers of the Jiangdong Army who were defeated in the Battle of Guangling, they were sent to the rear areas of Yuzhou and Xuzhou for construction.

This is also to prevent the two armies from fighting across the Yangtze River in the future, and the surrendered soldiers and prisoners to mutiny, resulting in a fire in the backyard and affecting the Changshan Army's battle across the river.

These details, with Liu Chen's current lineup of"counselors like rain", are naturally perfect!

I believe that in a few months, the construction of cement roads, red brick cement houses, ports, etc. will transform Jiujiang and Lujiang counties.

Liu Chen not only wants to occupy the land north of the Yangtze River, but also wants to make the counties and counties north of the Yangtze River develop by leaps and bounds and undergo a perfect transformation!

March all the way.

Liu Chen soon arrived at Lujiang Wancheng.

Zhao Yun, who was stationed in Lujiang County, led his army to meet Liu Chen and reported the current military situation details of Jiangxia County.

When he learned that Liu Bei had indeed led his army to the north, Liu Chen couldn't help but sigh at Xun You's ingenious calculation and his clear understanding of the human heart!

However, after hearing that Zhou Yu paid a visit to Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, Liu Chen was a little surprised. He did not expect to meet Zhou Yu and Lu Su again in Jiangxia.

Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Huang Zu's plans will not change Liu Chen's plan to attack Jiangxia.

Three days after Liu Chen led his army to arrive, he finally launched an attack on Jiangxia after discussing the plan with Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Zhao Yun and other advisers and generals.

Until then.

Huang Zucai, who was far away in Jiangxia, learned that Liu Chen had arrived in person and was stationed at the front line to fight.

This shocked Jingzhou into an uproar!

Even Zhou Yu and Lu Su's expressions have changed a bit!

The Jing-Yang coalition could only choose to fight

……

Nanyang City.

Zang Ba and Gao Shun's coalition troops surrounded Nanyang City but did not attack. A full month later, the military morale in Nanyang City was shaking and the people were panicked.

Because their food and grass are about to be cut off!

During this period, Zang Ba, Gao Shun and other Changshan troops were not just besieging the city.

Except for Nanyang City or Wancheng where Yuan Shu's army was located, which was besieged but not attacked, Changshan's army encircled and suppressed dozens of other county towns in Nanyang County.

Within this month, all the county towns in Nanyang County, except Nanyang City, have been completely captured by the Changshan Army!

Zhang Jia and Gao Lan, who were stationed in Yuzhou, just returned from the Jiujiang and Lujiang front lines and directly joined the encirclement and suppression of Nanyang City.

This also left Yuan Shu's army completely trapped in Nanyang City, with no way to go from heaven to earth, and even the problem of food and grass was about to be exhausted!

General Yuan Shu also organized several breakouts, but all ended in failure! finally.

After thirty-seven days of siege, Yuan Shu finally couldn't bear the pressure and chose to commit suicide!

Without a leader, Yuan Shu's army collapsed, and his generals and advisors had no choice but to surrender.

So far.

Changshan's troops entered the city without bloodshed

"The Lord needs to be informed of this battle information."

Looking at Yuan Shu's corpse with his jaw open, he frowned and said,"Now that we have captured the entire Nanyang County, I guess Liu Bei will not come here.

It's a pity that Commander Xun's plan was wrong. He killed six eagles with one stone, but one eagle was missing!"

"Where did Liu Bei go? I have been waiting for him for thirty-seven days. Haven’t you reached Nanyang yet?"

Zang Ba spat. Although Xun You had informed them of Liu Bei's cunningness when he planned it. But they were still a little confused. Liu Bei, who had clearly set off more than 20 days ago, had not arrived in Nanyang yet? Did he arrive in Xiangyang

?

Afterwards, they realized that Nanyang County was in the hands of the Changshan Army, so they chose to stop moving forward?!

As the generals were talking, the messenger hurriedly came to report:"General! The reconnaissance pigeons have sent back information that Liu Bei's army is now in Jiangling"

"Holy shit! Zang

Ba was completely shocked:"My lord has arrived at the Lujiang front line from Xiapi, and we have captured the entire Nanyang County. Liu Bei set out from Jiangxia and just arrived at Jiangling?" I thought he had at least made it to Xiangyang!"

"The thief Liu Bei is indeed cunning, and the military advisor is indeed clever! Gao

Lan also cursed secretly:"We promised that benevolence and righteousness should come first, but at this speed, it may take years and months to rush for help, and the day lilies will be cold long ago!""

The generals were really yelling at each other at this moment!

"Not to mention that Yuan Shu committed suicide now, even if he was holding on for more than a month, Liu Bei would probably only go as far as Xiangyang at most!"Gao Shun shook his head and said.

All the generals denounced Liu Bei!

If they can capture this 'hero' in Xun You's mouth, their military achievements will definitely increase.

It's a pity. Killing six birds with one stone only left one arrow in the end. Five eagles!

"Okay, don't pay attention to these thieves, we have important matters now!"

Opening his jaw, he interrupted the generals' yelling and cursing, and ordered:"After dealing with Yuan Shu's original generals in Wancheng and calming their emotions, we will lead the army to Fancheng!

Prepare to cross the Han River and attack Xiangyang!"

Zhang Zha is the general of Zhengxi, with the highest military rank among the generals.

The three generals Zang Ba, Gao Shun and Gao Lan are all in charge!

When they have dealt with all the problems in Wancheng, the 20,000 soldiers left behind will comfort them openly and monitor them secretly. After Yuan Shu was the original general, he sent troops directly to Fancheng.

In Xiangyang City across the river, Liu Biao and other soldiers and advisers were shocked and in an uproar when they learned about the arrival of Changshan Army!

All the soldiers were frightened after hearing the news!

Don't look at the east and west sides of Xiangyang. The mountains defended the city, and the Han River blocked the road ahead. It was a dangerous pass that could not be opened by one man. In the original history, Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to attack, Dong Zhuo sent Zhang Ji to attack, and finally Zhang Xiu attacked Xiangyang, but all failed and returned.

It wasn't until Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao in the end and attacked Xiangyang again, or Liu Biao's son chose to surrender after his death that Cao Cao got Xiangyang.

This is enough to show that Xiangyang is a dangerous place in the world, and it is also a battleground for military strategists.

However,

I think of Changshan. The army's record of conquering Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass reminds me of the other achievements of Changshan Army.

Which one is not the so-called majestic pass in the world, a dangerous pass that cannot be crossed by one man?

Wasn't it finally swept away by Changshan's army with overwhelming force?!

This also made the aristocratic families in Xiangyang City tremble one by one. The idea of ​​​​surrender has already appeared! The

Changshan Army is so powerful that it is difficult to stop it!

Fortunately, Liu Biao has ruled Xiangyang for many years and has gained great prestige!

In addition, The advisers and generals such as the Kuai brothers and the Cai brothers under them were actually from the Xiangyang clan. They did not surrender, so Xiangyang was naturally fine!

This also made the panic-stricken Xiangyang settle down slightly. But many knowledgeable people It can be seen that this is only superficial stability, with undercurrents surging secretly. Liu Biao has been very anxious these days, and has summoned civil servants and generals many times to discuss defense matters. Those rebels still have some luck, and they are lucky that Xiangyang can defend Changshan's army from attacking.

As for Those surrendering factions and neutral factions were all panic-stricken, and had already asked Liu Biao to surrender to King Changshan.

After all, they were both clan members of the Han Dynasty, and there was no deep hatred. With Liu Chen's discerning eye for people, he would never bury his talent..

This actually made Liu Biao a little excited!

When he first arrived in Jingzhou, Liu Biao was still a little ambitious. But after many failed expansions, his edges and corners have been gradually smoothed.

Even if he joins Changshan King, the worst can be Be a leisurely prince who enjoys the rest of his life. He will not be trapped after being defeated and captured!

Just when Liu Biao was considering the pros and cons, the messenger hurriedly came to report:

"Report, report! General! The Changshan Army launched an attack on Jiangxia. In less than three days, it had already conquered several counties north of the Yangtze River!"

"What?!"

Liu Biao and many civil servants and generals below were shocked and in an uproar!

Changshan's army attacked too fast. According to the marching speed of the messengers, Jiangxia's land north of the Yangtze River may not have been completely captured during this period!

Facts The same is true.

After Liu Chen rushed to the front line to command and dispatch, Zhao Yun led the Changshan Army to launch a direct attack on Jiangxia.

In less than half a month, all the county towns in Jiangxia north of the Yangtze River fell into the hands of the Changshan Army!

Just as the ordering troops were When he went to report to Liu Biao, Liu Chen moved his position again and moved to Xiling County, Jiangxia County.

Across the river from Liu Chen, Huang Zu's generals such as Shaxian County and E County in Jiangxia County were shocked and in an uproar!

Even if they were Zhou Yu and Lu Su both fell into an unprecedented state of solemnity!

This time, they faced off against Chang Shan's army again!
