Chapter 269: Joining Forces to Resist the Enemy
What is the most important thing in the world for Yan's?
Talent!
For Nanyang County, where Gao Ran Zhang Jaw is stationed, what is the most important thing in the world?
Talent!
Just because there was a man named Gan Ning under Liu Biao, dozens of small ships with brocade sails floating around on the water north of Xiangyang, they locked Xiangyang for several months, making their brave and strong foot riding unable to advance an inch.
Could it be that the open jaw is not clever enough to use soldiers? Could it be that Gao Ran's infantry army is not strong enough? Could it be that Zhang Xiu's cavalry was not fierce enough?
This is categorically not, if Gan Ning is on land, and the troops and the heavy Yan army have an advantage, where will there be a time when Gan Ning becomes famous? It's because Gan Ning has a strong enough navy, and the Yan clan doesn't have the slightest navy in Nanyang!
As the saying goes, the country is difficult to think of a good general, Gan Ning in Jingzhou is not welcome for several years, there is certainly a reason why Liu Biaoxi people do not like heroes, but the deeper reason is because of the reason why Gan Ning went to Jingzhou.
He was a veteran general in Yizhou, who rebelled against Liu Zhang because of Liu Biao's strategy, and was exiled to Jingzhou after the defeat. The position of a rebel general is usually embarrassing, and Gan Ning himself knows that he has no status in Jingzhou, so he always wants to gather the old troops to take a boat to the east to start a new stove, but in the past, when Huang Zu was alive, he guarded Jiangxia and said that he would not let Gan Ning leave...... Joke, can Liu Biao let Gan Ning leave?
Even if he is so insignificant in Liu Biao's eyes, he is a witness to Liu Biao's attack on Liu Zhang's general to incite rebellion, and this method is Liu Biao's favorite use, even if Liu Biao does not reuse him, he can't let him go elsewhere, not only that, but also to ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
But it's just that there is no need to worry about food and clothing, and no matter how much you can count on, it is impossible.
However, the Yan clan's large-scale southern attack allowed Liu Biao to find the correct way to open Gan Ning - hey, you Gan Xingba is a person who knows how to water for a long time!
At this time, can Liu Biao not reuse Gan Ning? No way! Although he, Liu Jingsheng, likes warriors and doesn't like martial artists, who doesn't like martial artists who can save their lives? Gan Ning is now Liu Biao's barrier to the Yan family, and he has achieved remarkable results in a few months, successively defeating Jiang Jin, Zhang Jaw, Gao Lan and others to attack many times, although he failed to really kill and injure many Yan people, but it ensured that the Yan army's army in Nanyang could not advance an inch.
Gan Ning's significance to Liu Biao can be imagined, only a few months, Gan Ning's official position in Jingzhou soared all the way, captain, general Pi, until he reached the unrivaled Hengjiang general in Jingzhou. Liu Biao wanted to keep Gan Ning, at the expense of blood, even the Jinfan Army under Gan Ning had an independent number, less than 1,000 people Jinfan Army was transferred by Liu Biao to more than 4,000 people to Gan Ning for training, at the same time Xiangyang quickly transferred warships for him, and one shipbuilding port after another along the line rose from the ground, although it was not possible to quickly build large warships such as fighting ships and building ships, but nearly 100 ships were built at the same time, and the momentum was also extremely terrifying.
Although Liu Biao doesn't like martial artists, and he is old and dizzy, but his brain is not bad, he knows very well that once the Yan army has fought Yingshui, then the Jingzhou army in Xiangyang is difficult to be its opponent, and the only ones who can turn the situation around are Gan Ning and the water army that he is proud of.
With Gan Ning here, it is enough to make Liu Biao sit back and relax in this winter month!
As for Xinghe, how about the four years? Liu Biao doesn't care, when the princes are all the same today, who knows who can live for a few more years under the offensive of Yanbei, not to mention Yuan Shao, who was proud of his martial arts in the land of Qingxu before, that was the great alliance leader in the early years, Liu Biao was extremely respectful, this self-immolated Guangling City without blinking, all dust returned to dust, and no trace was left.
Yuan Benchu's fate is not as good as Yuan Highway.
After Yuan Shu's death, he left a lot of inheritance, most of which was obtained by the Sun family in Jiangdong, which allowed Sun Ce to gain a foothold in Yangzhou and complete the transformation of the two generations of the Sun family from Yuan's generals to Jiangdong princes. But when it came to Yuan Shao, it was too far away, like a big stone falling to the bottom of the lake, and nothing splashed except for a circle of ripples, as if Yuan Shao, the third prince of the fourth world, who was so powerful back then, deserved so.
But the ripples caused by the stone sinking into the water are the shock of Yuan Shao's death in the hearts of the people of the world - the Yan clan will eliminate a strong enemy again!
In this era of separation, it seems that everything is divided into old and new, there are ancient and modern, princes have old and new, some people are the princes of the past to become princes, and some people stand out by virtue of the chaos in the world.
In this chaotic era, who will care about next year and the year after? Maybe only Yanbei has such idleness, others have spent all their strength in order to survive, where is there any more extravagant hope!
Yuan Shao's death in Guangling brought Liu Biao's shock has not completely dissipated, followed by scout information sent from all over the east, first Cao Cao was defeated by Zhang Liao in Runan, fled east to Peiguo, and then the eldest son of the Mushu of Bingzhou, Ma Chao, led the Liangzhou army to appear in Peiguo, and defeated Cao Cao's army again, and then Zhang Liao, who went to Peiguo, returned to Runan again, followed by a large-scale invasion of Jiangxia...... This is to catch Liu Biao's sore feet!
Cao Cao had previously been in Runan, and although they had been at war for many years, they invariably chose a truce under the threat of the Yan clan in order to deal with the greater crisis in the north, and even Liu Biao transferred the Jiangxia garrison to Xiangyang in the northwest...... If Cao Cao fought Jiangxia, it would not be difficult for Liu Biao to drive him away, so he didn't take it to heart, but now that Zhang Liao wants to fight Jiangxia, it will be terrifying.
Zhang Liao's army has not yet entered Jiangxia, and another letter made Liu Biao's heart rise to his throat, someone found traces of two armies with more than 100 ships fighting in the waters of Jiangxia County, and the river was full of wreckage, obviously a big battle broke out!
Who is the one who fought the water war in Jiangxia?
Koto Sun? Or has the Yan Clan's naval army already entered Jiangxia?
This matter did not puzzle Liu Biao for too long, and in just ten years, he got the news that there was a huge Yan fleet composed of three fighting ships, two large ships, and more than 70 ships from Jiangxia into the Suixian port southeast of Nanyang.
Find one of them, so who is the other side?
This doubt made Liu Biao frightened and angry, they were fighting in Jiangxia County under Jingzhou, but Jingzhou Mansion didn't know anything about it?
It didn't take long for Cao's envoy to visit Jingzhou Mansion in Xiangyang, and while the generals of Jingzhou were waiting for him, the envoy said that Cao had been defeated by Yan in Peiguo, and had now entered Changsha, hoping to get time to recuperate under Jingzhou, and in return they would fight against Yan with Jingzhou in the coming year.
said it was a request, but what way did Liu Biao have to refuse?
The Cao clan has already occupied Changsha!
