Who is the most powerful surnamed Liu in the world? It was not Liu Chong, the king of Chen, who caused the Fourteen Kingdoms to raise troops, but Liu Biao, who owned the entire Jingzhou. Although the decision to send troops to attack Yuzhou with Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei had just been decided, after receiving the news that Chen Wang Liu Pet had raised troops, Liu Biao's pastoral think tank entered into an intensive planning, and finally came up with only one answer...... Send troops to capture Sizhou.

On the day after this resolution was passed, Liu Biao sent Pegasus to inform Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu, and asked them to lead their troops back to Nanyang. Liu Biao's Jingzhou is not only Cai Mao's 20,000 soldiers, but which state does not have 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses today, especially Jingzhou, which was once called 100,000 with armor in the past, and Liu Bei, Zhang Xiu, and other tigers and bears as guest generals, no one can beat them.

When many major events related to the situation in the world occurred, Liu Biao was not keen to participate in the war, but insisted on watching the fire on the other side of Jingzhou's one-acre and three-point land, which gave Jingzhou an opportunity for internal development, but it was also equivalent to abandoning his martial arts. But this time the princes of the Liu clan raised troops and the situation that Liu Biao needed to face was different.

Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu's attack on Yingchuan in Runan, whether they succeed or fail, has nothing to do with Liu Biao, it is nothing more than to release the guest generals to give them the opportunity to recapture a place, which is for Liu Bei; Zhang Xiu, on the other hand, is connected to Yingchuan and Nanyang, and is still in the position of Liu Biao to stick to the north, and there is almost no difference. But Liu Pet's army blocked Liu Biao's consistent choice of not helping each other morally...... He either continued to help Yanbei put down the rebellion, or he stood with the Liu clan and fought against Yanbei.

There is no moral right or wrong in this matter, and no matter which one you choose, it will be a matter of life and death for the future. For those resourceful people in the Jingzhou Pastoral Mansion, there is no distinction between right and wrong, just analyzing the pros and cons, they should crusade against Yanbei.

In Jingzhou, the resistance to continue to help Yanbei was too great, and there was no benefit after the war.

"Liu Gong's decision is very clear, even if the general captures Yuzhou, it is nothing more than the new Yuzhou pastor, and it has nothing to do with Liu Gong." Zhuge Liang smiled and dismantled the situation in the world one by one for Liu Bei, and said: "Yizhou Mu doesn't know if he will respond to Zhuwen, if he responds and Jingzhou does not act, Jingzhou will face the joint conquest of Yizhou and Yan and Henan; If Jingzhou responds and Yizhou does not respond, Jingzhou will have the opportunity to attack Yizhou, and this choice is the most beneficial to Liu Gong. ”

Liu Bei nodded a little dejectedly, and only at this time did he realize that he didn't have the power to control the situation at all, and asked with a long sigh: "Kong Ming thinks, what should we do now?" ”

"If the general disobeys Liu Gong's order and sticks to half of Yuzhou, he will not only defend the Cao army of Yuzhou in the east, but also be afraid of the Jingzhou soldiers in the west, Jingzhou has a large army in Jiangxia and Nanyang, and the general ......" Zhuge Liang shook his head slowly, the implication was that Liu Bei was difficult to resist, and said: "It is better to retreat and return to Xinye, and strive for the opportunity to enter Yizhou from Liu Gong." ”

"So far, that's all it can be."

He can't disobey Liu Biao, no matter the situation or morality, he can't disobey Liu Biao's orders.

Not to mention how serious the blow to the morale of the Xinye Army was this incident, General Guan Zhangzhu's anger when he received the news was no less than Liu Bei's news that Liu Bei received Liu Biao asking him to withdraw his troops.

"What a bad luck!" Zhang Fei rode a black horse in front, the swaggering military formation lost the scenery when he entered Yuzhou, and he walked very slowly with his head down, so he muttered: "Brother, we had a lot of scenery when we left Jingzhou, and now we have returned to Jingzhou without an inch, so what do others think of us?" ”

Zhang Fei's words were approved by many generals, and even Liu Bei couldn't help but think, what would the guards who gave them the ordnance, grain and grass soldiers at that time think of themselves?

But Liu Bei was not worried about their faces, but suddenly turned his head to Zhuge Liang and said conclusively: "Kong Ming, you have resourcefulness, this battle cannot be stopped!" ”

"Can't stop?" Zhang Fei shouted excitedly, while Guan Yu squinted his eyes and thought about the reason why Liu Bei said this, but when he looked at Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others in the front army, he also reacted, and said with his head bowed: "What my brother said is true, this battle must not stop here!" ”

If they returned to Jingzhou like this, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and the others would definitely be returned to Han Xuan, and even those soldiers and horses would have to be returned, and they would lose most of their strength in the blink of an eye. If so, what else are they talking about going to Yizhou? Take more than 2,000 people to Yizhou and persuade Liu Zhang to surrender?

What's the difference between this and joking?

Yizhou is a good place, and the pressure brought by Liu Biao's order in Jingzhou is also very high, but this is not a reason to let Liu Bei return to Jingzhou, because he has more important things to do. This is how to preserve the strength of more than 10,000 subordinates!

Seeking Yizhou is undoubtedly ambitious for Liu Bei now, and the real down-to-earth thing is how to resist the pressure to retain his subordinate troops. Only by holding the elite soldiers in their own hands can they have the ability to hope for Yizhou.

"Does the general plan to disobey Duke Liu's orders?" Zhuge Liang understood what Liu Bei was thinking, but what he didn't understand was, "Do you know what this means?" ”

Zhuge Liang analyzed for Liu Bei that Runan was not a treasure land, and even worthy of the land of the Four Wars, with the threat of Yangzhou in the south, Cao Cao's territory in the north and Yuan's Xuzhou not far to the east. Even without this change, all they can rely on is the support of Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

If Liu Bei decides to break with Liu Chuan here, then what awaits them is an endless stream of enemies from all directions, not to mention that the situation in the Central Plains is extremely chaotic now, in addition to facing the threat of the Cao clan, if they still stay in Runan, they are likely to be regarded as enemies by the princes and kings of the Liu clan.

"If the general is unwilling to return to Jingzhou, and don't break with Liu Gong directly, it is better to march slowly and send someone to ask Nanyang Zhang Taishou's opinion." If they can't unite with Liu Biao, then they must win over Zhang Xiu and let him still hold Yingchuan as their northern barrier, "In this way, whether it is to persuade Zhang Taishou to stay in Yingchuan, or Cao's army to pursue it, the general will not be able to return to Jingzhou." It's just that this matter still needs to be thought twice, even if it will not disobey Duke Liu, it is a dangerous move that will easily attract the princes of the Liu family, and the general can only go north to the Yan family. ”

Zhuge Liang's investment changed Liu Bei's thinking that he had no overall situation, but it also made Liu Bei regard the word 'foundation' as extremely important.

For this reason, Liu Bei did not hesitate to fight!
