Outside Xiangyang City, Wollongong.

The residence of Mr. Shui Jing and Sima Hui.

At this time, Sima Hui had learned that Sun Ce was leading an army, marching by waterway, and preparing to attack Xiangyang.

"Hey, when will this world be peaceful?"

Sima Hui sighed, and Huang Chengyan, who was sitting in front of him, chuckled.

In Huang Chengyan's view, it was a matter of course that the Han Dynasty was weakening and all the heroes in the world were rising up to separate themselves and merge with each other.

First there was the Warring States Period, and then there was the Warring States Period. Qin unified the country.

Qin lost its deer and the whole world chased it away. It is the same now.

But the current situation is different from the chaotic times of the Warring States and the end of Qin. Zhou Cheng is entrenched in the north, but he is different from Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo.

Zhou Cheng understands To stabilize his power, he was not in a hurry to replace the Emperor of Han, nor was he in a hurry to change dynasties.

Although the information currently available is limited, it can be known that Zhou Cheng invested a lot of manpower and material resources in agriculture, education, commerce, etc.

This It is incomparable to the princes in the south.

Although the south is rich, in the north, under the control of Zhou Cheng, several states have begun to resume production.

Looking at the south,

Yuan Shu was just wiped out by Sun Ce, and then Sun Ce and Liu Bei fought again.

Yuan Yao again In the name of avenging his father, he raised troops to attack Sun Ce. After Sun Ce defeated Yuan Yao, he raised troops to attack Liu Biao.

In the south, with Yangzhou and Jingzhou as battlefields, it seemed that there would be no peaceful days.

Even those who could rely on the natural danger of the Yangtze River to find peace in a corner Jiangdong is now also involved in the war by Sun Ce.

The money and food in Jiangdong are also absorbed by Sun Ce in large quantities and used for the war.

One is ebbing and the other is ebbing. How can the southern princes deal with Zhou Cheng?

It has to be said that Zhou Cheng is indeed powerful. He is not in a hurry to attack. Instead of attacking, they concentrated on governing their own territory and let the southern princes fight among themselves.

What is ridiculous is that the southern princes did not know it and still attacked each other and could not join forces to fight against the Zhou Dynasty.

……

It’s the end of January, AD 203.

Sun Ce ordered Sun Jing to lead a navy of 20,000 men and begin to invade Jiangxia.

The governor of Jiangxia was Liu Qi. After Liu Qi returned to Jiangxia, he had no intention of making great efforts to govern.

Moreover, Cai Mao and others also have the capital for development of Liu Qi.

According to you, Liu Qi was easily defeated by Sun Jing with a small army and few generals.

Liu Qi led his troops to retreat.

Sun Jing continued down the river.

At the same time, Sun Ce ordered Pan Zhang to lead three thousand troops as a surprise force to attack Pingchun.

Later, Sun Ce ordered Dong Xi to lead three thousand troops to kill Zaoyang.

Sun Ce's own army, on the other hand, continued to accelerate its advance.

Liu Beijun's progress was equally rapid.

Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu to take all the cavalry to join Liu Qi first to collect food and grass.

At the same time, Wei Yan and Zang Ba were ordered to lead two thousand troops each to support Pingchun and Zaoyang.

If Zaoyang and Pingchun have been defeated, lead the army to Xinye and join Chen Gong.

Zhuge Liang knew very well that the key to this battle was food and grass.

As long as there was enough food and grass, it would take several months before Sun Ce would be defeated due to lack of food and grass.

Therefore, Xinye's food and grass, as well as Liu Qi's food and grass, are crucial.

At the same time, as Liu Qi, he asked Liu Biao for more grain, grass and armaments.

On the other hand, Liu Biao.

When Liu Biao asked Wenpin to lead the troops to Xiangyang, he did not urge Wenpin to speed up.

Wenpin is also a wise general. He knows that rescuing troops is like putting out fire.

However, Liu Biao did not let him rush to help.

Wenpin understood the meaning behind this.

Therefore, Wenpin went to Xiangyang at a normal speed, not seeking merit, but seeking no faults, just stability. at the same time.

Cai Mao also made secret arrangements in order to get rid of Liu Bei and Liu Qi.

This is also in line with Liu Biao's expectations.

Someone has to take the blame for this.

There is no doubt that Cai Mao is a very suitable candidate.

Cai Hao wanted to get rid of Liu Bei, so Liu Biao followed suit and made Cai Hao responsible for Liu Bei's food and grass.

If Cai Mao fails to distribute food and grass, leading to Liu Bei's defeat, the responsibility is also Cai Mao's.

When the time comes, Liu Biao will be able to hold Cai Mao accountable.

In this way, no one in the world can blame Liu Biao, and Liu Biao's own reputation will not be damaged.

However, Liu Biao also needs to be wary of Sun Ce.

Although Sun Ce's intention is to destroy Liu Bei, there is no guarantee that Sun Ce will not covet Jingzhou after defeating Liu Bei.

Therefore, Liu Biao still sent people to find Liu Pan and asked Liu Pan to lead troops to Xiangyang.

If Sun Ce is really greedy, then Liu Biao doesn't mind teaching Sun Ce a lesson.

Let Sun Ce understand the meaning of being scheming. _Please download the novel without underlining
