Jiangling City-In the General's Mansion, Liu Bei's face sank like water, sitting in the center, Kong Ming, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun...... There are more than 20 civil and military people, sitting on both sides of the lobby, either bowing their heads in contemplation, or frowning tightly, their expressions are not very natural!

Jiangdong's 120,000 army marched westward, advancing by land and water, and the momentum was huge, but I didn't think that it would be defeated in just two months, not to mention the loss of more than half of the people and horses, even the famous Jiangdong general - Zhou Gongjin also fell on the battlefield!

Before the Jiangdong army attacked Xiangyang City, it restrained Xiao Yi's hands and feet, and Liu Bei's side was able to attack the city and seize the land, sweeping the south of Jingzhou, and now the Jiangdong army is defeated, and the powerful soldiers of Xiao Lang can only be borne by Liu Beijun alone?

Xiao Yi has a three-step plan, a plan to break people's intestines, and confronts such a deceitful enemy, resourceful as Pang Tong, and as resourceful as Kong Ming, and has no chance of winning, let alone Liu Bei, who has been defeated repeatedly and runs around.

Liu Bei, Kong Ming, and Pang Tong all regretted a little, regretting that they didn't send troops to support Zhou Yu earlier, so that now they are cold and difficult to protect, but who would have thought that the Jiangdong army would be defeated so quickly and so miserably!

"Kill a thousand enemies, lose eight hundred, Xiao Yi defeated the Jiangdong army, his own losses will not be small, it is difficult to move south in the short term, we can recruit troops and prepare for war calmly!"

"The affairs of Jiangxia County can't be investigated, so as not to break with the Jiangdong Group, you can send someone to lobby Lu Su and make a posture of 'raising troops for revenge', even if you disperse Xiao Yi's troops, it will also be beneficial to us!"

"There is news from Jiaozhou, saying that the Baiyue tribe is about to move, and there is an intention to go north, I am afraid that we will be inseparable from Xiao Yi, and the Baiyue tribe will suddenly send troops, and then the enemy will be on their backs!"

………………

Kong Ming, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu spoke in turn, analyzing the current battle situation and planning a countermeasure, and it could be felt from the tone of the three of them that they were not sure, but worried!

In the final analysis, the foundation of Liu Bei's group is too shallow, and it swept the territory of the five counties at once, divided troops everywhere, and appointed officials in the land, although Kong Ming, Xu Shu and others are very capable, but they are also in a hurry.

It's like a small python swallowing a big roe deer, and it's a little indigestion, if you want to completely digest it and transform it into combat effectiveness, it will take at least half a year, but Xiao Yi has always been a soldier and a fast soldier......

"Uncle Qiqi, the fourth son of the Jiaozhou Shi family, Shi Song, has arrived, and he is asking to see him outside the mansion!"

"The Shi family has arrived so soon, I'm afraid it's not good?"

"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, the dignified man is a man, and he can still be afraid of a group of barbarians - please!"

………………

I'm really afraid of something, there is a strong enemy in the north, and those who come in the south are not good, this is really a belly and back enemy, Liu Bei's face is even more gloomy, but the dignity of the emperor of the Han Dynasty makes him unable to give in to the barbarians.

A moment later, a young man with a left hand appeared in the lobby, about twenty years old, with a decent appearance and a smile on his face, it was the sixth son of the Shi family, Shi Song!

The Shi family dominated Jiaozhou, ordered the Baiyue tribe, and coveted the land in the south of Jingzhou, and wanted to get it into their own hands.

The Keshi family did not give up, and they have been secretly gathering people and horses to peep at the battle situation in Jingzhou, and the three families of Cao, Sun, and Liu are exhausted, and then come forward to clean up the mess, and it is best to swallow the nine counties of Jingzhou in one bite.

Now that the Battle of Xiangyang is over, Zhou Yu has fallen on the battlefield, the Jiangdong army has been defeated, Xiao Yi's subordinates have also suffered heavy casualties, and Liu Bei is trapped in the south of Jingzhou, and the Quartet is isolated and helpless.

"People of the wild mountains, meet Uncle Liu Huang - be healthy and live a long life!"

"Meet the generals--make meritorious deeds, and the military luck will last for a long time!"

………………

Unlike the arrogant Shizhi, Shisong was the son of a concubine, and his mother was a lowly maid who was not favored by his father, so he was of low status in the family and was often bullied by his other brothers!

In order to survive in the cracks, Shi Song can only meet the source left and right, and has also developed the habit of 'not smiling or talking, seeing people smiling', and is very good at dealing with people, but deep down, it is a hundred times more vicious than Shi Zhi!

"Lord Shixie is almost old, and he still guards southern Xinjiang for the country, he is really a loyal minister, this emperor's uncle must play the son of heaven, and reward the Shi family!

The ancients said that they did not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and the sixth prince did not govern in Jiaozhou, but set foot in the land of Jingzhou, I don't know what happened, did he come to find your brother? ”

Liu Bei has always been humble to others, but this time he is prickly in his words, praising the Shi family on the surface, but in fact satirizing Shi Xie's old age and immortality, and his ambition to betray the Han court and establish himself as the king!

It is also a warning to Shisong that it is best to stay honest in Jiaozhou, not to covet the land of Jingzhou, and not to provoke indiscriminately, otherwise Shizhi's fate will be a lesson from the past.

"Haha--Uncle Huang is right, now the traitorous male steals power, the Son of Heaven is covered with dust, and the world is in turmoil in Kyushu, since the Shi family is a courtier, he should share his worries for the monarch and serve the country!

Xiao Yi is murderous and bloodthirsty, even if the people of Baiyue are savage, they also know their fierce name, in the recent battle of Xiangyang, Xiao Yi defeated the Jiangdong people, and will soon wave his army south, and people of insight in the world will all pinch a cold sweat for the emperor's uncle!

The Shi family contacted the Baiyue tribe and gathered 80,000 elite soldiers, stationed on the border, willing to help Uncle Huang and fight to the death with Xiao Yi! ”

Shi Song was still smiling, not only thinking that he was a courtier of the Han family, but also putting forward a request to help in the war, which seemed to be bright and bright, but in fact, he harbored evil intentions.

Xiao Yi took advantage of the victory to wield his army to the south at any time, if the Shi family sent troops to help, it would be a good ally, the problem is, there is no free lunch in the world, and the troops will definitely be rewarded!

At that time, the seizure of land is secondary, a charge of 'colluding with barbarians', Liu Bei's side can not afford it, it will be spurned by the people of the world, especially the barbarian soldiers are extremely vicious, once they are let in, the people of Jingzhou will suffer.

But bluntly refuse, and I am afraid that the Shi family will be angry and embarrassed, so I will directly kill Jingzhou, then there will be Xiao Yi in the north, there will be barbarians in the south, and Liu Bei will be under the enemy's back, I'm afraid I won't be able to parry?

"The sixth prince has been tired of saddle horses all the way, I think he is hungry, this emperor's uncle has prepared a banquet, for the prince to catch the wind and wash the dust, and after eating and drinking, let's discuss state affairs in detail - please!"

"Let's talk about big things first, don't be in a hurry to eat and drink, my son's body can be carried - the general is light, light!"

…………

Liu Bei is so cunning, he immediately used a delaying tactic to stabilize Shi Song, and then discussed countermeasures with a few strategists, it is best not to let the Shi family send troops and not offend them!

Shi Song is not a fool, he knows the truth of being angry, he must talk about state affairs first in life and death, and he relies on his strong body to push and shove a few attendants who come to persuade him!

As a result, Zhao Yun stepped over, grabbed Shi Song's neck collar with one hand, and dragged him to the back like an adult lifting a chicken chick, and personally accompanied him to 'drink wine and eat meat'...... And the guards brought by Shi Song were also monitored.

Next, Liu Bei and the three major strategists began to discuss countermeasures, for these barbarians, are they enemies or friends, war or peace?

"The Great Han Jiangshan Sheji was created by Emperor Gao's hundred battles, and the emperors of all dynasties, regardless of the foolish and virtuous, adhered to the ancestral foundation, and did not let the barbarians lose every inch, and I hope that the emperor's uncle will take it as a reference!"

"Although the barbarians are brave, they do not know the way of soldiers, if they win, they will plunder their property, and if they lose, they will scatter in a hurry, and their subordinates are willing to lead a group of men and horses to guard the border, and they will not be allowed to take a step!"

"You can detain Shi Song first, control Shi Xie as a hostage, if the barbarians dare to invade Jingzhou, they will first cut off their sons and sacrifice the flag, and then fight to the death!"

……………………

The three strategists are highly talented and arrogant, and they often have conflicts in planning, but this time they are surprisingly unanimous, opposing an alliance with the scholars, and even more opposing the entry of barbarians, and they have to fight to the death!

Of course, they are well aware of the danger of being attacked by the enemy, but for hundreds of years, the Han Dynasty has been expanding its territory and lashing out at foreign races, and it is extremely arrogant in his bones, not to mention forming an alliance with the barbarians, even if he is on an equal footing, it is also a great insult!

The heroes who fought against foreign races were highly respected, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty became the first emperor of the ages, and Wei Qing and Huo Qu went down in history because of their northern expedition to the Huns and won the dignity of the Han family!

When I didn't see the princes writing inscriptions and scolding Cao Cao's crimes, they rarely mentioned Xiao Yi, because he defeated the Huns, slaughtered Huxi, and exterminated the people...... The development of the Western Regions and the recapture of the Hetao Plain have made great contributions to the country, which no one can erase.

"You don't have to worry, I am the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Xiaojing after King Jing of Zhongshan, how can I collude with the barbarians and ruin the reputation of my ancestors?"

"It's just that the old thief of Shixie doesn't send troops, the Baiyue barbarians dare to enter Jingzhou one step, and the emperor's uncle will personally command the army to ask for it, even if it is a blood-spattered battlefield and a horse leather shroud, I must ensure that my Han Jin Ou is perfect!"

At the beginning, the Shi family lobbied Sun Quan and Cao Cao, but they were all sternly rejected by the two, and even Shizhi's whereabouts are unknown, nine times out of ten he was poisoned, and nine times out of ten Xiao Yi did it!

Liu Bei has always regarded Cao, Sun, and Xiao as enemies, and he has to compare everywhere, everyone is a hard bone, how can he lose his integrity, this spirit must not be lost!

But the north and the south are attacked, and the belly and back are attacked by the enemy, Liu Beijun really can't resist it, how to think of a way to stabilize one of the south and the north, and then fight a decisive battle with the other side, the chances of winning are very large!

Just when everyone was worried and had no plan to deal with it, the soldiers came to tell the truth, and another messenger came outside the gate of the mansion - Guo Yi!
