Just when Chen Xu attacked Yizhou, the situation in Jingzhou also underwent earth-shaking changes.

However, it is said that after Sun Ce and Zhou Yu conquered Jiangxia, the soldiers pointed directly at Xiangyang, and no one could stop the army from passing through.

Liu Biao sent someone to recall Wen Ping, but when he got the news that Wen Ping had died in battle, he was even more worried, and he couldn't afford to get sick because of this.

Just when the Jiangdong soldiers drove straight in and were about to fight under the city of Xiangyang, Liu Biao suddenly died of illness, and Jingzhou became leaderless and chaotic.

Cai Mao, Mrs. Cai and others, although they want to make Liu Cong the lord of Jingzhou, but now Liu Cong is not yet ten years old, and it is difficult for him to take on the heavy responsibility.

Moreover, because Liu Biao died several years earlier than in history, Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi has not completely fallen out of favor at this time, and there are not a few people who support Liu Qi.

Liu Biao also knew that the second son was too young, and knew that if Jingzhou was entrusted to him, Jingzhou's family business would be ruined.

Therefore, before Liu Biao died, he directly passed the position of the lord of Jingzhou to Liu Qi.

But Cai Mao and others didn't want to do this, and the Jiangdong soldiers were about to come to the city, and the people in Xiangyang City were panicked for a while.

At this time, Liu Bei led the army back to Xiangyang.

Liu Bei reversed his mildness from the past, cleared Cai Mao and others with an iron and bloody hand, and then assisted Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Biao, and ascended to the position of Jingzhou pastor.

Subsequently, Liu Bei reorganized the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, with Xu Shu as the military division and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as generals, and began to fight with the Jiangdong soldiers.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, one person went to meet Cao Cao, and this person was Feng Xiao Pang Tong.

Since Chen Xu sent someone to send Zhuge Liang's scholar back, Zhuge Liang has lived in seclusion even more secretly, even Xu Shu and others don't know where he lives.

In order to expand Liu Bei's power, Xu Shu kept lobbying his friends, hoping that they could assist Liu Bei in achieving great things.

What is surprising is that Zhuge Liang thought that the destiny of heaven was difficult to violate, and he refused it, and he refused very resolutely.

Pang Tong was bored, and when he heard Zhuge Liang's words, he wanted to go against the sky, so he went to meet Liu Bei.

He did not snub Pang Tong because of his appearance, but because of Xu Shu's previous words, he attached great importance to Pang Tong, even no less than Zhuge Liang in history.

Xu Shu was a humble gentleman, and thought that Pang Tong's talent was above his own, and volunteered to take the position of the right army division.

As for Pang Tong, he was awarded the position of left army division by Liu Bei.

In ancient China, the left was respected, and Pang Tong's status at this time was obviously above Xu Shu.

Of course, because of the extraordinary influence of Pang Biao in Jingzhou, in order not to make Liu Biao jealous of Liu Bei, Pang Tong's defection to Liu Bei was not known to outsiders.

Just after Cao Cao led his troops out of Guanzhong, Pang Tong set off for Xuzhou.

However, he said that Cao Cao had just withdrawn his troops and retreated to Xuzhou, and when he heard that Pang Shiyuan, a famous scholar from Jingxiang, had come to ask for a meeting, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and cordially met with Pang Tong.

Although Pang Tong is ugly, Cao Cao is not the kind of person who judges people by his appearance, and after talking with him, he loves Pang Tong's talent very much and treats him very well.

Pang Tong was appreciated by Cao Cao, and immediately said: "Chen Wenzhao's whale swallowing Yizhou is a foregone conclusion, this person's momentum has been achieved, unmatched, if you don't subtract your wings, the world will gain it sooner or later." ”

Cao Cao also felt the huge pressure, and Zhengse asked: "Although I have the intention to kill the thief, why can't I do anything, I don't know if Shi Yuan has a clever plan to teach me?" ”

Pang Tong talked eloquently: "This time the princes attacked Chen, if it weren't for Sun Bofu's attack on Jingzhou, which caused Liu Jingzhou to hurriedly recall Xuande Gong, Wuguan may not have been overcome." ”

Cao Cao was noncommittal when he heard this, and looked at Pang Tong with a smile.

Pang Tong continued: "Now Chen Wenzhao and Sun Bofu have concluded an alliance, the general, Yuan Benchu, and Liu Jingzhou are allies, and Sun Bofu is strong and besieges Xiangyang. ”

"If Chen Wenzhao captures Yizhou and Sun Bofu takes Jingzhou, what should these two do to attack the general and Yuan Jizhou together?"

Cao Cao's heart was awe-inspiring, and he was still silent on the surface, because Guo Jia and others had mentioned this kind of thing to him.

Cao Cao pretended to be frightened, lowered his posture and asked, "Please also ask Shiyuan to teach me." ”

Pang Tong stroked his beard, which was not too long, and said: "Although Sun Bofu is besieging Xiangyang, Xuande Gong has already led his troops back to help, and it is expected that Xiangyang will be safe in the short term. ”

"Now that Jiangdong is empty, why don't the generals take this opportunity to go south to capture Yuzhou and Yangzhou?"

"If Sun Bofu does not withdraw his troops, the general can cut off his foundation, add rich land in the two states, and have the capital to compete with Chen Wenzhao."

"If the Jiangdong Army leads the troops back to help, the general can make an appointment with Xuande Gong to attack Jiangdong."

"If the thing succeeds, it will be divided equally, even if it doesn't work, the crisis of Jingzhou will be solved, Xuande Gong will inevitably be grateful for the general's kindness and righteousness, and make an alliance with blood, fight against the thieves together, and help the Han family, isn't it beautiful?"

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, and said: "Shiyuan's words are exactly what I want, I will order all the soldiers and horses to kill Jiangdong!" ”

Pang Tong's mission was completed, and he immediately ignored Cao Cao's repeated retention and drifted away.

After Pang Tong left, Cao Cao summoned Guo Jia and others to discuss the matter of raising troops to attack Jiangdong.

Xun You said with a solemn face: "Pang Shiyuan, this person, has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, but he didn't want to vote for Liu Xuande, it seems that Jingzhou will change hands sooner or later." ”

Guo Jia chuckled when he heard this: "Now that Chen Wenzhao is powerful, if Jingzhou is still controlled by Liu Biao, sooner or later it will be obtained by others." ”

"If Liu Xuande can take Jingzhou, it will also become a big help for the lord, so that Chen Wenzhao does not dare to underestimate the princes of Kwantung."

In fact, before this, Cao Cao had already set a strategy with his advisers, to lead his troops to attack Jiangdong and carry out the plan of encircling Wei and saving Zhao.

In any case, Jingzhou could not be gained by Sun Ce, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao could not lose Jingzhou as an ally.

Otherwise, after Chen Xu takes Yizhou and completely stabilizes the rear, he will join forces with Sun Ce to raise troops, even if Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are allied, they will not be able to compete with them.

Pang Tong's arrival is just a catalyst.

Even if Liu Bei didn't send Pang Tong to Xuzhou as a lobbyist, Cao Cao, who was as smart as Cao Cao, knew the truth that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, so he would naturally send troops.

As for Pang Tong's statement that the two phases would jointly attack Jiangdong and divide the land equally, Cao Cao did not care.

Sun Ce is not very human, with many generals and talents.

Cao Cao lost in the first attack, and the soldiers' fighting spirit was not very strong, and although the Jingzhou army now has the ability to protect itself, it has no intention of making progress.

Cao Cao only hoped that he could force Sun Ce to withdraw his troops.

Pang Tong actually knows this, he believes that Cao Cao will not know the truth of cold lips and teeth, and will definitely send troops to rescue, so he will deal with it indifferently.

Pang Tong's trip was just to release a signal of goodwill, so that after Liu Bei took Jingzhou, he could continue to form an alliance with Cao Cao and fight against Chen Xu.

After Cao Cao sent troops to Yangzhou, Sun Ce, who was fighting with Liu Bei, was worried about the loss of his foundation, so he had to lead his troops to retreat.

Sun Ce retreated to Jiangdong, and Cao Cao did not continue to fight with him, and directly withdrew to Xuzhou with the looted population and materials.

For this reason, Sun Ce was furious and wanted to lead his troops north to kill Xuzhou, but was stopped by Zhou Yu and others.

Liu Bei took advantage of this opportunity to recapture Jiangxia, and then, in the name of Liu Qi, quickly reorganized the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou and cautiously guarded against the Guanzhong army.

Yes, after Liu Bei recaptured Jiangxia, not only did he not continue to chase Sun Ce, but began to guard against Chen Xu.

Because at that time, it was when Liu Zhang surrendered, and the Guanzhong army was in full swing, and Xu Shu was worried that the Guanzhong army would enter Jingzhou from Bajun and Hanzhong, so he reminded Liu Bei to be careful.

In fact, Tian Feng did mention to Chen Xu at that time the strategy of taking advantage of the situation to take over the entire Jingzhou, but it didn't take long for Sun Ce to withdraw from the army.

Coupled with Liu Bei's own cautious precautions, the Guanzhong army was tired from a long battle, and Chen Xu thought about avenging Chen Jing, so he did not send troops to Jingzhou.

Liu Bei drove Sun Ce out of Jingzhou, and his prestige among the people became more and more intense, and although Liu Qi was the nominal lord of Jingzhou, he was actually just a puppet.

After the situation stabilized, Jingzhou was cleaned up, and Liu Cong was also killed by Liu Qi.

Of course, there are many doubts about how Liu Cong died, after all, no one has explored in detail, and those who have a lot of complaints have disappeared one after another.

It was only at this time that Liu Bei showed his sharp fangs.

He has his own benevolent side, but as a generation of heroes, how can he really have the kindness of a woman?

Including Liu Biao's sudden death, it was mixed with Pang Tong's figure, but few people could see it.

After Liu Bei took control of the entire Jingzhou, he commanded Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Wu Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Chen Zhi and others.

For a time, Liu Bei's momentum was like the sky.

Coupled with Corporal Liu Bei Lixian, Jingzhou heroes came to vote one after another, and their power became stronger and stronger.

Just after Jingzhou was completely controlled by Liu Bei, Jingzhou Mu Liu Qi 'died of illness' the following year.

Liu Bei cried because of this, and under the repeated persuasion of his subordinates, he 'reluctantly' accepted the position of Jingzhou pastor.

Since then, Liu Bei has led Jingzhou herd, and the general trend has begun to take shape.

However, it was said that after Zhao Yun received the order from Chen Xu, he hurriedly gathered 10,000 elite cavalry and 5,000 newly formed cavalry, and after bidding farewell to Cheng Yu and others, he rushed to Liangzhou at night.

At this time, the weather had become hot, and Ma Chao originally wanted to attack Liangzhou again.

However, after hearing the news that Yizhou was broken and the princes withdrew from the army, they were a little frightened in their hearts, and they actually abandoned the city they occupied before and retreated to the four counties of Longxi.

Zhao Yun led the cavalry to attack thousands of miles, and arrived first in the second place, arriving in Longxian County earlier than Chen Xu.

After another ten days, Chen Xucai led Lu Bu and others to arrive in Longxian County.

"Stomp, stomp!"

The sound of neat footsteps sounded, and Chen Xu led 10,000 elites in Guanzhong to rush to Longxian County with sweating profusely.

A scout Pegasus came to Chen Xu's side and said loudly: "General Zhao and Liangzhou Wenwu are waiting for the lord in front. ”

Chen Xu gently grabbed the reins, wiped the fine beads of sweat on his face, and said to himself: "Has Zilong already arrived in Longxian first?" ”

Looking up at the scorching sun hanging in the sky, Chen Xu's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Before he came over, he had already received the news that Ma Chao had returned to the four counties of Longxi, and he suddenly felt a little irritable in his heart.

If Ma Chao was not self-sufficient and dared to fight Chen Xu in Hanyang County, it would save Chen Xu a lot of effort.

However, Ma Chao's retreat to the four counties of Longxi will make Chen Xu's expedition more tortuous, and it is definitely a very crazy thing to go on an expedition to the desert in summer.

"Let the soldiers enter the city first."

Chen Xu retracted his thoughts, galloped forward, and it didn't take long to see Zhao Yun and the others.

"Phew!"

Coming to the generals, Chen Xu first asked the army to stop, and then grabbed the reins and jumped off the war horse, seeing some panicked faces.

Fan Chou, Li Le, and Han Xian all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Chen Xu, and Zhong Xuan's face also had a trace of unnaturalness.

These people are all Chen Jing's subordinates, Chen Jing died in battle, but they are still alive, and they are a little uneasy in their hearts, afraid that Chen Xu will blame them.

Li Le and Han Xian were okay, but they assisted Zhong Miao to stay in Longxian, but Fan Chou followed Chen Jing on the expedition.

"I've seen the lord!"

Although everyone had some ideas in their hearts, they could only bow forward.

After saluting, Zhong Miao hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "General Chen Jing died in battle, I have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter, and I also ask the lord to punish him." ”

Fan Chou, Li Le, and Han Xian also knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty one after another.

Chen Xu already understood the cause and effect of the incident very clearly, sighed slightly, and helped Zhong Xuan, Li Le, and Han Xian up successively.

Chen Xu said to them gently: "Ah Jing didn't listen to people's persuasion, so she ended up like this, what do you have to do? I'm not the unreasonable kind of person, you don't need to. ”

The three of them were helped up, and only Fan Chou knelt on the ground, cold sweat running down his neck.

It is understandable that Zhong Yu and the three of them were not punished, but Fan Chou, as Chen Jing's deputy general, died in the battle of the boss and he survived.

Seeing that Chen Xu was looking at himself, Fan Chou hurriedly said: "The last general failed to protect the safety of the envoy, the crime deserves death, and the crime deserves death." ”

Looking at Fan Chou, who was extremely frightened, Chen Xu stepped forward, put his arm around him and said, "If it weren't for General Fan Chou this time, I'm afraid those sons and daughters who came out of the plug would have been completely lost." ”

"The general is not only innocent, but meritorious, and deserves a heavy reward!"

The expected thunderous fury did not appear, and Chen Xu's actions made everyone feel extremely surprised, but also breathed a long sigh of relief.

Glancing at everyone, Chen Xu asked, "Where are the horses?" ”

Hearing the name of Ma Wan, Fan Chou's face was obviously angry, and he said: "If it weren't for that guy who delayed the military plane, how could our army have suffered such a big defeat?" The envoy will not hate the battlefield anymore! ”

"After the king died in battle, Ma played that guy may have been a thief, and he actually led the troops back to Anding County directly."

Chen Xu's eyes flashed, and then he rebuked Fan Chou: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is understandable that General Ma has delayed some time. ”

"Then he saved some of the soldiers, and led the troops to maintain stability, and there was no fault!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Chen Xu in disbelief.
