Although Jiangxia was attacked by a surprise attack and lost its navy, Liu Biao was still very satisfied with being able to take back Wancheng.

Cao Cao became a tool man, not only dealing with the clan traitors for Liu Biao, but also Yuan Shu.

He also made a lot of efforts in the war against Zhou Cheng.

Moreover, Cao Cao accommodated refugees in the Wancheng area, reclaimed farmland, and also built water conservancy projects.

All of this ended up being a wedding dress for Liu Biao.

He seems to be an honest person, but he is actually one of the most shady people in the world.

Of course, what Liu Fang has to consider now is how to consolidate Jingbei's defense.

Nanyang established a defense to resist the Zhou army from going south.

Although Chen Liu was defeated and tens of thousands of Cao Cao's troops were killed, so that Liu Biao did not have to worry about Cao Cao's revenge, Zhou Cheng attacked Chen Liu.

It is said that the siege equipment is so powerful that it has never been seen before.

It would not be easy for Liu Biao to stick to Jingzhou and settle on one side.

Of course, the current alliance with Yuan Shu still needs to be maintained.

If Yuan Shu abandons Yanzhou, Zhou Cheng is likely to take advantage of the situation and attack Xuzhou.

After the Zhou army entered Xuzhou, it was only a matter of time before they marched south to Jingzhou.

Therefore, on the one hand, Liu Biao asked Wenpin to guard Wancheng, and on the other hand, he made Liu Pan the governor of Nanyang, and Huang Zhong was also left in Nanyang.

In the Nanyang area, Liu Biao had deployed nearly 70,000 troops.

In the entire Jingzhou, there are currently only 130,000 troops and horses that can be mobilized. Liu Biao has almost placed more than half of the troops and horses in Nanyang.

Except for the 70,000 people in Nanyang.

Chen Bing had 20,000 troops and horses at the junction of Jiaozhou and Jingzhou.

Xiangyang City, Fancheng and the surrounding 30,000 troops and horses.

The rest are the 10,000 people Liu Qigang brought to Jiangxia

……

After Liu Qi was transferred and Wancheng was recaptured, Liu Bei knew that Liu Biao had no intention of resisting Zhou Cheng.

And Liu Bei is just a chess piece and a tool.

Liu Biao took advantage of Liu Bei, and now, there is not much suspense in the battle of Yanzhou.

Unless Liu Biao sends troops to Yanzhou, Yuan Shu will not retreat.

Otherwise, it is only a matter of time before Yanzhou is occupied by Zhou Cheng.

Of course, in this confrontation with Zhou Cheng, the worst one was Cao Cao.

Although Sun Jian died, Sun Jian led his army northward and almost posed a major threat.

Moreover, Jiangdong has natural dangers along the Yangtze River.

This time Sun Jian died, but the Sun family gained a reputation. There will definitely be many people who defect to the Sun family in the future.

On the other hand, if Sun Jian had not died and Cao Cao had gone north to echo Sun Jian, then Cao Cao would have accomplished something.

However, Sun Jian died and Cao Cao returned. As a result, the aristocratic families and wealthy families who were prepared to respond to Cao Cao were greatly disappointed.

Therefore, Cao Cao not only failed to gain fame, but also lost Wancheng.

His wives, concubines, and children were captured, and at the same time he lost his troops and generals, leaving him with nowhere to return, which is sad.

However, Liu Bei had no time to sympathize with Cao Cao.

Liu Bei doubted whether Liu Biao would get rid of him one day.

Just like Liu Biao took advantage of Cao Cao.

At the top of the city, the cold wind was biting.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others patrolled the city.

In the city, Chen Gong and Jian Yong were deducing the attack and defense of the city.

From the information brought back by Guan Yu, Chen Gong learned that Zhou Cheng's siege equipment was very powerful and there were many types.

If Zhou Cheng wanted to attack the city, he would have plenty of means.

How to deal with Zhou Cheng's siege equipment is the key to defending the city.

Liu Bei's response was also very quick. He had already sent people to look for skilled craftsmen everywhere.

I hope to create weapons that can restrain and defend the city.

However, where can I find someone in such a short period of time?

……

Zhuge Liang and his wife came to the house of his father-in-law Huang Chengyan today.

When Zhuge Liang came, Cai Mao happened to be there too.

Cai Mao is Huang Chengyan's brother-in-law.

Today Cai Mao came to chat with Huang Chengyan.

Although it was just a casual chat, Zhou Cheng's trip south shocked the world. It is now the hot topic discussed by the most people.

Can Huang Chengyan and Cai Mao stop chatting?

Although it seemed like a casual chat, Cai Mao also wanted to make some excuses and wanted to know the general trend of the world.

Zhuge Liang was very talented, and Cai Mao also valued him. At this time, he chatted with Zhuge Liang about Zhou Cheng's direction.

Zhuge Liang said without thinking:"The Zhou thieves seem to be powerful, but their southward movement is already at its end. If Xuzhou has no internal response, Xuzhou will not be captured."

After hearing Zhuge Liang's analysis.

Cai Mao asked curiously:"How can you see it?"

Zhuge Liang replied:"After the Zhou thieves stole the position of Grand Sima, all the money and food they needed came from Liaodong and the areas outside the Great Wall. The north has experienced wars for a long time and people's livelihood is difficult. If they continue to use troops, People's livelihood is unstable, and chaos may easily occur. Zhou thieves also know about this, as do Shi Yuan, Yuan Zhi and others."

Cai Mao heard this and felt it made sense.

Although he found a way out for himself, if Liu Biao did not die and Zhou Cheng did not come to Jingzhou, there was no need for him to take the initiative to seek refuge with Zhou Cheng.

At present, Cai Mao and the Cai family still dominate Jingzhou.

Everyone was chatting, and also talked about the Zhou army's siege equipment.

Chen Liuhui was defeated this time because Zhou Cheng's siege equipment was too powerful.

If Cao Ren had a way to restrain himself, Zhou Cheng's siege would definitely not go so smoothly.
