Chapter 767 borrowed Jingzhou
Be. Although Ling Tong said that he had avenged his father's revenge, his anger had not yet subsided, and Sun Ce's method was in line with his intentions, so he hurried to act.
Jiangxia is the gateway to resist Sun Ce's army, and all the ordnance and materials in it can be described as piled up.
Sun Ce suddenly attacked the city and profited, Liu Qi was timid and early to invest, so he didn't have time to transport it away or destroy it, which made him a little more powerful, and he was even more greedy in his heart and wanted to continue the attack.
As soon as Huang Zu died, Sun Ce didn't wait, and said: "Jiangxia is firmly in the hands of our army, and Benzhou Mu wants to raise a large army, force into Nanyang County, take Liu Bei, and then take the entire Jingzhou in one go." ”
Seeing that Sun Ce was so anxious, Zhou Yu hurriedly persuaded: "Bo Fu, Liu Bei is not Liu Biao, this person is very difficult, and if he attacks strongly, he will inevitably lose the battle and lose a lot, so it is better to use a strategy." ”
"Oh?" Sun Ce asked curiously: "Does Gong Jin have any plans, let's talk about it." ”
Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Why don't Bo Fu send people, pretend to be Lian and Liu Bei, and say that he will help him besiege and kill Liu Biao, and he has avenged his father. ”
Sun Ce said suspiciously: "In this way, didn't you let Liu Bei take advantage?" ”
Zhou Yu replied: "With Liu Bei's strength, even if he gives him the entire Jingzhou, can he hold it firmly, and besides, as long as Liu Bei is paralyzed, if our army wants to do it, is it not feasible at any time?" ”
Sun Ce nodded and said, "It's reasonable, but you can't take Jingzhou quickly, and Cao Cao and Li Huiyi are afraid that they will also join?" ”
This is a difficult problem, Zhou Yu didn't think about it, but he just had a glimmer of hope, and he wanted the two sides to be wary of each other, so he didn't dare to send troops.
Zhou Yu didn't confirm and said: "This shouldn't be, Cao Cao won't make a move, and Li Jun won't dare to make a rash move, but it's still hard to say, so it's even more important to preserve your strength and slowly figure it out." ”
"It's really not possible, our army can retreat to Yangzhou, according to the natural risk, a corner of safety."
Zhou Yu will not choose too risky behavior, unless he is forced to be helpless, but Sun Ce's personality is completely opposite to Zhou Yu, and the two complement each other.
Sun Ce thought for a while and said: "According to the natural insurance, but it is only supported for several years, once Li Huiyi's water army is formed, then the natural risk will not be of much use, so it should still be attacked quickly." ”
Zhou Yu thought for a while and said: "It's better to do this, in the plan just now, make a slight change, and Liu Bei will be fair and honest, take Jingzhou together, whoever takes it will belong to whom, presumably Liu Bei will not start a war with our army." ”
This method can only be said to be a middle policy, so Liu Bei will definitely be on guard, and if he wants to take it, he may have to spend a lot of time, but for now, it is a good choice.
The choice was similar, Sun Ce adopted the suggestion and ordered Lu Su to go to Nanyang and make an agreement with Liu Bei to take Jingzhou together.
Jiangxia suddenly lost, Liu Bei was unexpected, and it was not until Lu Su came that he hurriedly asked Zhuge Liang to discuss.
Knowing everything from Liu Bei's mouth, Zhuge Liang didn't react, and he still looked confident.
"Uncle Huang is not in a hurry, Lu Su is here, it is nothing more than two points, either to divide Jingzhou, or to unite to encircle Liu Biao, and the result is to carve up Jingzhou."
"Hmm." Hearing Zhuge Liang's analysis, Liu Bei quickly thought and asked, "Sir, if you agree, how much will Jingzhou lose?" ”
Zhuge Liang didn't want to answer: "Conservative estimates, it will be a third of the loss, and those who surrendered to Liu Biao may not be able to switch to Sun Ce." ”
Making wedding dresses for others, Liu Bei is not that kind of person, I saw him ask with a cold face: "That division of troops to resist, can there be a chance of victory?" ”
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Jiangxia lost quickly, you can guess that Sun Ce has a lot of troops, and if Uncle Huang wants to block it, he must have at least 30,000 elite troops." ”
Not to mention 30,000, it is extremely difficult for Liu Bei to take out 10,000 at this time, because he can use the army, and all of them have been sent to Nanjun, and only 5,000 troops are left by his side.
Zhuge Liang said 30,000, that is the lowest bottom line, after more than a month of getting along, Liu Bei has also figured out his style of speech, knowing that he can't stop Sun Ce's army, and the only way to ally with him is to do so.
However, Liu Bei didn't want to give up much of this benefit distribution. "Sir, is there no way to minimize the loss?"
Do you have the capital, and you still want to swallow the biggest piece, there are such beautiful things in the world, Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly and said: "No, or you can borrow it temporarily, but I don't know if Sun Ce will agree." ”
Borrow?
This is a novel idea, but if you want Sun Ce to agree, I am afraid that you will have to pay some price, Liu Bei thought about it for a while, and he has already analyzed the pros and cons.
"Sir, how do you borrow this?"
Zhuge Liang said: "I have to wronged the imperial uncle, proclaim himself a vassal to Sun Ce, and promise to listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, presumably Sun Ce should agree." ”
Called a minister, surrendered in disguise, Liu Bei didn't do it, he could really keep Jingzhou in his hands, what is this.
"Okay, I'm going to meet Lu Su here, and Mr. will go with you, and I'll be on the side."
Sure enough, there is no temperament, no wonder it can be tolerated for so long, seeing Liu Bei quickly agree, Zhuge Liang really admires it in his heart, after all, the princes of one side have some backbone and will not easily bow to others.
Liu Bei didn't care what Zhuge Liang was thinking, he got up and walked out, Zhuge Liang put away his thoughts and followed quickly.
In the lobby, Lu Su was left to dry for a while, with a slight displeasure on his face, thinking that Liu Bei did it on purpose, and his mood was getting worse and worse.
"I'm really sorry for the disappointment and neglect of the distinguished guests."
Seeing that Liu Bei's words were apologetic, Lu Su complained slightly, got up and smiled: "Uncle Huang is busy with military affairs, and it is reasonable to come late, so there is no need to be so polite." ”
Liu Bei is a master of observing faces, so he naturally saw that Lu Su didn't like it, so he didn't delay and went straight to the point.
"Sir, I don't know where this is coming, but what is Sun Zhoumu's order?"
Well?
What does Liu Bei mean, it doesn't seem to be hostile, it seems that there is still a meaning of surrender, is he .......
Lu Su was uncertain in his heart, and said slowly: "Uncle Huang's status is precious, how can my lord order, I just want to share Jingzhou with Uncle Huang, and I have taken revenge on my father casually." ”
Divide Jingzhou, Liu Bei is unwilling, and immediately said slowly: "Bei has been wandering for a lifetime, waiting for this opportunity, I have been waiting for more than ten years, Sun Zhoumu will open his mouth half, how will Bei be accommodated." ”
"Liu Biao can give it to Sun Zhoumu, but Jingzhou must not be given, as for the lost Jiangxia, it doesn't matter."
"If Sun Zhoumu insists, then the only way to prepare is to fight to the death, so that others can benefit, if Sun Zhoumu does not take Jingzhou, sell a face, be willing to bow down and be a minister, listen to the tune and do not listen to the announcement, in his lifetime, he will be betrayed forever."
"Sss After Liu Bei finished speaking, Lu Su also gasped, he had always heard that Liu Bei was benevolent before, but when he saw it today, it was completely the opposite, but there was a trace of unscrupulous and unscrupulous appearance.
