NOVEL WEB The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu
Chapter 77 Situation
Chapter 77 Situation
Jingzhou, within the city of Xiangyang.
Looking at Yi Ji under the stage, Liu Biao's beard trembled wildly, and he roared, "Zhang Xiu really said that?"
"Return to the lord, word for word."
"Not only did he withhold the gold, silver, grain, and grass, but he also demanded 20 million yuan and [-] hu for grain, which is like a lion's mouth.
And he also said that if the lord is unwilling to provide, he will not let his generals sacrifice in vain. "
Yi Ji made a bow and said in a deep voice.
"Hmph, how unreasonable is that? It's simply unreasonable. A mere child from Xiliang, I see him in trouble, but now he doesn't know what to do. It's hateful." Liu Biao roared angrily, losing his elegance.
It's fine if it's less, but the money is really a lot, even if he wants to, he can't afford so much money!What's more, the alliance between Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu is now well known.
Once Zhang Xiu loses the threat from the north, it is very likely that he will covet his Jingzhou, which makes him not angry.If sending food and money at this time ends up killing him, wouldn't it be that he lost his wife and lost his army?
After venting, Liu Biao realized that he had lost his composure, sat down slowly, and said with deep eyes, "Everyone, what do you think?"
"My lord, Zhang Xiu prides himself on his bravery and looks at no one in his eyes. This kind of person must not stay for long. Let the navy approach and take the opportunity to break through Xinye in one fell swoop." A general shouted.
"Oh, I shouldn't have let him go." Liu Biao felt a little regretful. As early as when Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu were fighting, he should have found a way to abolish Zhang Xiu.
If so, why worry today.
"My lord, the final general thinks that Zhang Xiu's troops are dominated by iron cavalry from Xiliang, and there are no boat masters. Since there are many water systems in Jingxiang, even if he has a bad plan, it will be difficult for him to cross the Han River."
"That's right, the Han River is more than a hundred feet wide, and there are undercurrents under the water. How can Zhang Xiu, a reckless man, cross the river and fight? If he could cross the river, he would have carried the urinal to drink by himself."
The words came out, and everyone burst into laughter for a while,
Their self-confidence emerged spontaneously, as if they had forgotten that Zhang Xiu had defeated Cao Cao twice.
"Okay, with all the generals here, I am safe in Jingzhou." Liu Biao smiled gratifiedly, and then solemnly said: "However, Zhang Xiu has not broken skin with me, so don't use force."
"In this way, send a letter to tell Zhang Xiu that the demand for money, food and grass is too much, and he needs to prepare for a period of time and let him wait. In addition, Cai Mao, you and Zhang Yun, the two leaders, will take turns to guard the Han River."
"As long as there is any change in Zhang Xiu, there is no need to report it, and it will be destroyed directly." Liu Biao Sui is not good at fighting, but he attaches great importance to his own territory.
Cai Mao squinted his eyes and clasped his fists in response.
After the meeting dissipated, Cai Mao hesitated for a while, and went straight to Liu Biao's mansion, asking to see his elder sister, this time it was up to her to make up her mind.
After a while, in Liu's study.
Cai Mao lowered his head and explained the situation.
Mrs. Cai was still glamorous, Liu brows were sullen, she frowned and said: "Jingzhou has [-] elite soldiers, and is separated by natural dangers, it is difficult for Zhang Xiu to win this time."
"Then sister means other than Zhang Xiu?" Cai Mao asked cautiously.
"Hmph, how stupid. Although this person's strength is not as good as Liu Biao's, but this person has great ambitions, and he is definitely not someone in the pool. And Liu Biao lives in a corner, so he is not a good leader." Cai shook his sleeves and snorted coldly.
"So, just wait and see what happens. If Zhang Xiu has a chance to win, then give him a helping hand, so my Cai family will be the first to make a contribution, and he will not forget his success in the future."
"If Zhang Xiu is difficult to win, then you can give him a chance to survive and continue to serve Liu Biao. In this way, my Cai family will not be passive."
Cai's eyes were deep, and he said in a deep voice.
That man is much more energetic than Liu Biao.
"Well," Cai Mao nodded, already clear in his heart.
As Cai Mao left, Cai frowned and raised her head, feeling a little sad in her heart. She gave the Cai family two chances, and she also gave Zhang Xiu one chance.
…………
Xinye, will be in the mansion.
Zhang Xiu concentrated on handling government affairs.
Government affairs in ancient times were not too difficult. They mainly consumed energy and involved many trivial matters.
"My lord, Zhouping is back!"
Xu Shu strode over and said excitedly.
"Jun greets the lord." Cui Jun bowed his head and bowed. This was the first time he and Zhang Xiu had met, and Xu Shu had always handled it before.
"Hehe, Zhouping, please get up quickly. I've been looking forward to Zhouping's arrival day and night. I'm lucky to see Sansheng today." Zhang Xiu stepped forward and helped Cui Jun up himself.
He was always curious about who Xu Shu was looking for, but he didn't expect it to be Cui Jun.You know, both Xu Shu and Cui Jun are friends of Zhuge.With the two of them around, it shouldn't be difficult for him to recruit Zhuge when the time comes.
Cui Jun looked Zhang Xiu up and down, nodded secretly, kind and gentle, without the attitude of a superior, coupled with the two defeats of Cao Cao, and the praise of the people under his rule.
Think about it as a wise master.
"Zhou Ping, what did Zhang Xian gain from this mission?" Zhang Xiu was rather dignified.
After all, Zhang Xian's decision is related to his future development.Although Nanyang is currently doing well, it is not easy to live for a long time in the place of the Fourth World War!
"My lord, Zhang Xian agreed to send troops, but he asked our army to pretend to attack Xiangyang, not Jiangxia. I think this person has the same idea as my lord, and wants to kill someone with a knife."
"Xiangyang is Liu Biao's foundation, and he will definitely stick to it. When the lord and Liu Biao are both defeated, he may take Xiangyang, or even annex the lord."
Cui Jun frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Oh, I'm really not afraid of breaking his teeth."
Zhang Xiu snorted coldly, and said with a cold expression.
He originally thought that it was the war in Jingnan, and then he could get chestnuts from the fire, just like Liu Bei and Soochow in later generations, but now it seems that it is not easy to handle.
"My lord, misfortune and fortune depend on it, Xu thinks that this may not be a bad thing." Jia Xu said with a hint of sternness in his eyes.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Xiu asked puzzled.
"My lord, imagine that Xiangyang is the gateway of Jingzhou, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. On the contrary, Gong'an and Jiangling are the gateways of Jingnan. There is no danger to rely on these two places. Once breached, Xiangyang will be in danger."
Jia Xu clasped her fists and said in a low voice.
"You mean...Liu Biao will deal with Zhang Xian with all his strength, so Xiangyang is so empty?" Zhang Xiu frowned and said softly.
"It must be so," Jia Xu was quite confident.
He knows that Xiangyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it doesn't take many people, 5000 people can hold on to thousands.However, Gongan and Jiangling are different, especially when marching from Changsha, it is difficult to hold on to these two places.
In this way, Liu Biao must be heavily armed with Jiangling, not Xiangyang.
Zhang Xiu fell into deep thought, and after a few breaths, he said, "Okay, then capture Xiangyang and Zhouping, please make another trip and agree on related matters."
"Hehe, back to the lord, Jun has already responded for the lord. In May of this year, Zhang Xian will rise up, and then our army will respond to him from a distance." Cui Jun chuckled, he expected it.
"May, there is still a month left?"
Zhang Xiu murmured, it seems that he has to meet Gan Ning, whether he can win Jingxiang this time depends on Gan Ning's navy, otherwise the Han River will be difficult to cross.
"The generals are listening to the order. In the near future, we should train our soldiers diligently and prepare for the decisive battle against the thorns."
"Promise," all the generals cupped their fists and shouted, eager to try.
At this time, Chengmen Yajiang came quickly with his sword in his hand, and said anxiously: "Report, my lord, the emperor Yuan Shu of the Zhong family outside the city sent his daughter to marry."
