Liu Biaozhen made up his mind and acted quickly. Not long after, the pastoral government ordered Cai Mao to return to Xiangyang, and ordered Wuling Taishou Jin Xuan to lead Zhonglang to go to Nanyang to preside over the battle ahead with Wen Ping to deal with Cao Cao.

Jin Xuan Zi Yuan Ji is said to be the descendant of Jin Riyan, the minister of Emperor Xiaowu. Jin Riyan, a descendant of the Huns, is a diehard loyal emperor. Jin Xuan won't say anything. Jin Xuan's son is called Jin Xuan, and in history, he rebelled with the imperial physician Ling Jiben, Shaofu Geng Ji and others, attacked Xu, and burned Cao Cao's Changshi Wang Bi's camp. wanted to coerce the Son of Heaven to attack Wei and aid Liu Bei in the south. The history of the golden jacket is "since the world for the Hanchen, since the day of the reckless He Luo, loyalty is remarkable, the name is tired." Seeing that Han Zuo was about to move, he said that Ji Xing was angry, so he conspired with Geng Ji, Wei Huang, Ji Ben, Benzi Miao, Miao Di Mu and so on. "Courageous and loyal, but unfortunately failed.

Cai Mao received the order, which was also inexplicable. However, he still has a bottom line, and he hasn't thought about hugging Cao Cao's thigh immediately for the time being. Seeing that Liu Biao transferred him back, he was also happy and relaxed. So after the settlement with Jin Xuan, he went all the way back to Xiangyang to enjoy happiness. Jin Xuan is a descendant of Jin Riyan, Jin Riyan is the crown prince of Hutu, although he is a Hu man, but after returning to the Han Dynasty, he won the trust of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and finally became an auxiliary minister together with Huo Guang and others. Later, he was sealed as a marquis, and he was respectful. Because Jin Riyan is known for his loyalty and respect, filial piety and discipline, this has almost become his family style. Ban Gu said in the "Book of Han", "Jin Riyan Yidi died in the country, detained the Han court, and respected the lord, faithful to himself, Le Gong general, the heir of the country, the world name of loyalty and filial piety, the seventh servant, how prosperous!" ”

The Jin family has been passed down from generation to generation, and Jin Xuan is also a proper loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. Liu Biao also knows this. He transferred Cai Mao, sent Jin Xuan, and his every move was carefully considered in his heart.

As soon as Jin Xuan arrived in Wancheng, he expressed his attitude towards Wenpin: "The military is in Zhongye, and I am responsible for internal affairs and logistics." ”

With such an interesting and capable person, Wenpin was naturally happy. It happened that Liu Pan also returned from Jiangxia at this time. When the defenders of Nanyang heard that Liu Pan and Huang Zu were in Jiangxia, they broke through the Yangzhou army and seriously injured Sun Jian, the leader of the Yangzhou army, and their morale was greatly boosted. With the help of Jin Xuan and Liu Pan, coupled with the availability of military hearts, Wen Ping defended this Wancheng like an iron bucket.

Cao Hong and the other four generals saw that they could not attack Wancheng for a long time, and they felt ashamed, so they sent horses to return to Cao Cao. Cao Cao received the report, anxious, but with a pretended relaxed smile on his face, he said to the left and right: "Jingzhou is a place of ointment, outstanding people, Liu Jingsheng is not incompetent, how can he win in eagerness." ”

wrote a letter to Cao Hong to forgive the hearts of the generals. After that, he said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, Liu Jingsheng is bent on sticking to it, Wanxian County is high and strong, the grain and grass are sufficient, and it is not easy to pull it out." I want to win quickly, but can I have a plan? ”

Guo Jia also knew that Cao Cao was anxious. There is no way not to be anxious, this is a problem of fast hands and slow hands, if you don't solve Liu Biao quickly, wait for the dust of the war in the north to settle, and then Liu Bei will free up his hands, and it will be a situation where Liu Bei and Liu Biao will attack Cao Cao together. So taking advantage of this time period to defeat Liu Biao and eat Jingzhou, this is the best result. Otherwise, it's better to retire and go back to Yanzhou as soon as possible, and don't waste grain and grass here. Fighting a protracted battle with Liu Biao was not the intention of Cao Cao's group in the first place.

Guo Jia is also anxious, his old friend Xun Yu is like a fish in water with Liu Bei, but he is far from reaching Xun Yu's status. If you can't assist Cao Cao to go further, how can you prove that you are not inferior to Xun Yu?

Thinking about it, it was for Guo Jia to come up with a plan: "Lord, since you can't attack Nanyang, it is better to divide your troops to attack Jiangxia." ”

In the past few days, I received information that Sun Jian led his troops to attack Jiangxia, but he was ambushed and seriously injured, and now he has retreated back to Yangzhou. Since Yangzhou can't break Jiangxia, it's better to let yourself come.

When Cao Cao heard this, his thoughts turned in his heart, but he said happily: "That's how it should be!" In his opinion, Jingzhou is his food, and Sun Jian came to grab it, which really made him angry. However, he is unknown, so he is not qualified to drink Sun Jian. On the contrary, I felt that it was better to defeat Liu Biao first, and then look at the respective methods of the two companies. Now that Sun Jian was injured and retired, while he was secretly happy in his heart, he also felt that Sun Jian and Huang Zu had a big battle, and Sun Jian was seriously injured, could Huang Zu be better? He knew Sun Jian's methods very well, and Huang Zu must have lost his troops in this battle!

Since Jiang Xia is broken, then he can use his power to suppress others. So he ordered Chen Gong, Cao Xiu, and Le Jin to lead 10,000 troops and go straight to Jiangxia. He also ordered Cao Ren and Xu Yu to lead 5,000 elite horsemen to lie down in the middle of the road. If you encounter Jingzhou rescuers, you will attack them immediately.

Guo Jia's plan is an upright conspiracy. Relying on his own side, there are many generals to bully Liu Biao. Look at the lineup on Cao Cao's side, and then look at what Liu Biao can play. Thinking about it this way, it seems that so many surrenderers in Jingzhou are indeed forgivable. There's no way, there's really no one in Jingzhou's pocket. Huang Zhong and Wei Yan in history also ran to Liu Biao's camp early. At this time, except for Wen Ping, Liu Pan and Huo Jun, who else can really lead the troops to fight and fight?

Cai Mao is counted as one, and Zhang Yun is barely counted as one, but Cai Mao has a different heart, Zhang Yun and them are each other's in-laws, who knows what his thoughts are?

In fact, Liu Biao was really not bad before, but his conservative character and typical scholarly style made him like this. Huang Zhong and Wei Yan didn't talk about it, Gan Ning actually let him go like this. You must know that the reason why Gan Ning defected to Jingzhou is also because of Liu Biao. Such a great general's talent, but sit back and let him lose in vain. It's a real pity. Not to mention anything else, if Gan Ning is here today, Cao Cao wants to occupy Jingzhou, but I am afraid that he will have to add a little more strength. Wen Ping and others are in charge of the foot ride, and Gan Ning is in charge of the Jingzhou Water Division, this picture, tsk!

There are also Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu, who were stationed in Nanyang before. If they can tolerate people, don't be suspicious, and deliberately try to win over, why would Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu risk danger and run thousands of miles north to vote for Liu Bei?

There is also a Changsha Taishou Zhang Xian, who can actually fight, but unfortunately rebelled. Jingzhou under Liu Biao's governance is really a lot of talents, it depends on how you use it. Liu Ba is also capable, but no matter how much Liu Biao fools and coaxes, he just wants to stay at home and not be out. Xu Shu is obviously outside Xiangyang City, but Liu Biao dislikes the bad family composition. The Zigui County Order under Liu Biao's rule at this time was Li Yan, who was a lonely minister with Zhuge Liang in history. Jiang Xia also has the material of a general, because no one uses him, and at this time he has already gone to Langling, Cao Cao's jurisdiction......

Therefore, although there are reasons for this or that, Liu Biao, the leading brother, is still mainly responsible.

Guo Jia's shot directly hit Liu Biao's seven inches. There are four Cao generals under Wanxian County, who will attack and fight; Jiang Xia went to the army again. To save or not to save, who to send? Such a headache was immediately placed in front of Liu Biao.
