"Is Chibi a place very important?" Sun Ce was very puzzled by this inconspicuous place.

"It's not just important. This place is a key part of whether my Jiangdong can resist Liu Yu this time." Zhou Yu said cautiously.

After thinking for a while, Sun Ce finally said nervously: "No, there are so many wise men under Liu Yu's command, and there are many local people in Jingzhou. He will definitely know the importance of Chibi."

"Bo Fu, please feel at ease. I have sent Gongfu to lead troops to garrison in Chibi, and at the same time, let Gongfu start to set up defense." Zhou Yu said confidently. He had left a backup plan for a long time and was not worried at all.

Only then did Sun Ce feel relieved and said, "Gongjin, I feel much more at ease with you."

"It's just a helpless move. I also want to take the initiative, but unfortunately Ziyi and Xingba are not against Liu Jun. But Liu Yu is really powerful. He actually let Dian Wei and Lu Bu join forces. If it's on land, no one dares to say that they can stop them from joining forces. Although Xingba and Ziyi were defeated, it's normal." Zhou Yu shook his head and said.

Sun Ce also knew this. He wanted to punish Taishi Ci and Gan Ning before because he felt sorry for the loss of so many troops. Jiangdong had not had much military strength, and after losing so much, the danger in Jiangdong would be a little bit higher. If Taishi Ci and Gan Ning were to be killed, Sun Ce would feel even more painful. It was easy to get a thousand soldiers, but it was hard to find a general. Sun Ce was just talking anger.

"Liu Yu takes the initiative, we must defend first now. We must not let Liu Yu discover any loopholes." Zhou Yu said.

Sun Ce nodded, this is the only way to do it right now.

Liu Yu, who was in Xiangyang, was also looking at the map with a large group of strategists, hesitating whether to launch an annexation war against Jiangdong. Jingzhou was captured by Liu Yu. At first, Liu Yu believed that after conquering Jingzhou, he would conquer Jiangdong. This was the previous plan.

Liu Yu had previously thought that his troops and the troops that Jingzhou surrendered, combined with hundreds of thousands, and it was very easy to annex Jiangdong. But the facts proved that Liu Yu's previous plan was not so perfect.

First of all, the main forces under Liu Yu were all northerners, and they were very uncomfortable in fighting in places with rivers in the south. This can be seen from the details of the battle reports of Lu Bu and Dian Wei. At the same time, Jingzhou had just surrendered, and Liu Yu didn't know whether these people sincerely surrendered to the court and himself, the Emperor Shenwu. After experiencing so many insidious and cunning, Liu Yu did not trust the newly surrendered Jingzhou bureaucrats and generals so on the surface.

Secondly, Liu Yu overestimated the combat effectiveness and efficiency of the Jingzhou troops. After investigation, it was found that the Jingzhou army had been completely infiltrated by the aristocratic families. From senior generals to middle-level generals, almost all the aristocratic families were from the aristocratic families. These people had completely grasped the power of the Jingzhou army, and the Jingzhou army was almost their private property. The Jingzhou soldiers seemed to have accepted their fate, and in the face of exploitation and exploitation, they did not have the bloodiness of dare to resist their superiors. In this way, the combat effectiveness and efficiency of Jingzhou were simply inefficient.

Lian. The generals from the aristocratic families are extremely powerful, but if they are asked to go to war, they must have found enough reasons to shirk them. Even if they give the order of death, they will delay and affect the situation of the war during the march. This is normal. They are originally gilded, and you ask him to fight with his own head, unless you are really funny, and you can be a powerful general, and there are soldiers to use them, and there are a lot of oil and water. Such comfortable things will be gone after death.

Liu Yu was determined to carry out rectification, but he was not in the right time for a while, so he could only leave it.

The last point is the weather in the south. The climate in the south is humid, so it may be a good thing to cultivate one's body and character here, but if you come to fight, all kinds of symptoms of the soldiers' discomfort will appear.

"Tell me, should Jiangdong fight now or slow down?" Liu Yu was unsure of his mind and asked to his counselor group.

"Your Majesty, I think Jiangdong must fight! And I must fight as soon as possible!" Pang Tong was the first to jump out, but he was thinking about showing off his best.

Liu Yu said lightly: "Why?"

"Jiangdong had just experienced rebellion before. Sun Ce quickly returned to Jiangdong to resolve the civil strife in Jiangdong at an incredible speed. Now he takes the lead in seizing Wulin Port, indicating that Sun Ce is now preventing our army from moving south. Your Majesty, Jiangdong is the weakest time now. If he doesn't take this good opportunity to move south, he may not have a chance in the future." Pang Tong analyzed.

"Shi Yuan, is it too early to attack Jiangdong now?" Chen Gong came out and said, "Although Jingzhou surrendered, our army's control was limited to the three places of Nanyang, Xiangyang and Jiangling. Other counties were waiting and watching. Even if the prefects expressed surrender, they could not determine whether they were willing to surrender in one day. You are a local person in Jingzhou, this should be clear. Moreover, many of our soldiers were disagreeable to adapt to the local conditions and had a great discount on combat power."

Pang Tong said, "It is because of this that our army must establish its authority and let those fences see the situation clearly."

Ju Su frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I think you need to be cautious about the conquest of Jiangdong!"

"Mr., I'm not here at this time." Pang Tong was a little anxious when he heard Ju Shu disagreed with the war now.

Tian Feng even said: "I agree to the Duke and tell him."

All three big guys disagreed, and Liu Yu frowned. This matter was different from the plan.

Zhuge Liang looked even more worried, and he thought of something very bad.

Liu Yu saw it and asked, "Kong Ming, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I think it is okay to advance to Jiangdong. But Jiangdong cannot capture it immediately. Although Sun Bofu is not popular among the Jiangdong family, his subordinates are all based on Sun Ce. They are united. It is not so easy for Your Majesty to take down Jiangdong in a short time. And I am even more worried about other princes!" Zhuge Liang said solemnly.

"Other princes?" Not only Liu Yu, but also others were shocked.

"That's right, Cao Cao will definitely not watch His Majesty take Jingzhou and then march into Jiangdong, and Sun Ce will not sit still and wait for death. Cao Cao and Sun Ce will definitely join forces, and I'm afraid they have already started to take action now." Zhuge Liang said.

Liu Yu looked back at the map, looked at the sphere of influence of Cao Cao and Sun Ce, and the area bordering him.

Liu Yu said, "If Cao Cao joins forces with Sun Ce, the biggest possibility is to set out from Runan and attack Nanyang! Cut off my ties with the Central Plains, and then they will attack on both sides!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhuge Liang said respectfully.

Liu Yu was not worried and said to everyone: "Cao Cao and Sun Ce still underestimated me! How many times have they joined forces? When did they cause trouble for me? Pass my order, order the Nanyang defenders to strictly monitor the direction of Runan and prevent them from taking advantage of it. At the same time, they ordered Zhao Yun, the governor of Yanzhou, to immediately start attacking Yuzhou. Cao Cao wanted to plot against me, and I even took his lair!"

"Order all the Jingzhou naval troops to assemble. I will attack Jiangdong!" Liu Yu shouted.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Pang Tong shouted.

"Your Majesty, this..." Chen Gong still wanted to persuade Liu Yu.

When Liu Yu was about to speak, a guard rushed over and knelt in front of Liu Yu with a book slip and said, "Go back to your Majesty, the Nanyang County Magistrate Zhang Xiu returns. A large number of Cao troops appeared at the junction of Nanyang and Runan, and the chief general was Cao Ren."

Liu Yu hurriedly took the guard's book, read it after reading it, and said, "Sure enough, Cao Mengde and Sun Ce are really hooked up."

As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, another guard rushed over and knelt down on the ground and said, "Go back to your Majesty, Jiangxia spies will return. Liu Bei sent an envoy to Jiangdong and has returned to Jiangxia now."

"Liu Bei! This guy also jumped out." Liu Yu was a little unhappy when he heard Liu Bei's name.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid these three people may reach an agreement to target Your Majesty." Ju Su said.

"Haha, are I just afraid? They want to unite against me, so that I can also take them all!" Liu Yu said fiercely: "Don't hesitate. If I want to unify the world, I will encounter the resistance of these princes. This time I will play the big ones once. Either they win, I will retreat to the north. Or I will win, and I will dominate the world with the trend! My family is very big, and I can afford it!"

"I will obey the order!" Liu Yu insisted on doing this, but Chen Gong and other ministers could not refute it.

Liu Yu has his own plans and Jiangdong is going to fight. If he doesn't fight Jiangdong now, Jingzhou will fall into the situation that Liu Biao encountered before, and he must guard against the invasion of Jiangdong at all times, which is very unfavorable for Liu Yu.

Liu Biao just wanted to defend Jingzhou, so for him, he could do his best to defend the invasion of Jiangdong. But Liu Yu was different. His stall was a bit big, and it affected his whole body with one move. Liu Yu didn't want to receive too many checks and balances at critical moments.

And now Liu Bei has jumped out, and this guy has a trump card like Liu Qi. Don’t look at Liu Qi’s weakness and incompetence, at the critical moment, he is the son of former governor Liu Biao, and his identity can play a huge role. Yes, some people just want this kind of thing, and some ambitious people and fencemen also need this reason to look grand.

Liu Yu thought for a while and said, "I told the world that Liu Bei had a bad ambition. He had caused all kinds of unrest for his own selfishness before he arrived in the same place. I abolished Liu Bei and Liu Xuande's identity as a relative of the Han Dynasty. From then on, Liu Bei was a traitor in the Han Dynasty and could not be regarded as the Han Dynasty's clan, and everyone in the world could be punished."

The strategists present all felt that Liu Yu should have done this long ago. Liu Bei has gained a lot of benefits over the years due to the status of this Han clan relative.

No one objected to this point and agreed unanimously.

After doing these things, Liu Yu asked all the strategists to prepare, and he needed a very detailed plan to deal with the incident.

When Liu Yu was left alone, a man in black knelt in front of Liu Yu with a whistle.

"Did Sun Ce, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei reach a joint agreement?" Liu Yu asked.

The man in black replied: "When you go back to your Majesty, the Anmatsu did not inquire about whether Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei were united. However, Sun Ce sent people to Shouchun before His Majesty entered Xiangyang, and Liu Bei also asked Xu Shu to go to Jiangdong recently. The Anmatsu believed that they had reached an agreement."

Liu Yu pondered for a while and the alliance between Cao Cao and the other three had become inevitable. He was about to face the besiege of the three overlords at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Even so, Liu Yu was not afraid. He had advantages that Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei did not have.

"Does Mi Zizhong have any reply recently?" Liu Yu asked again.

"My subordinates arrange Mi Zizhong to enter Jiangxia according to His Majesty's instructions, and Mi Zizhong has also contacted his younger brother. Mi Zizhong is now lurking in Jiangxia and often contacting Liu Qi. His subordinates and others are very careful. Liu Bei doesn't know Mi Zizhong is lurking in Jiangxia. Mi Zizhong has been holding troops recently. He asks his subordinates to repay His Majesty. He is fully prepared and just wait for His Majesty's order." The man in black replied in detail.

Liu Yu was very satisfied with Mi Zhu and was very cautious and careful in doing things. In this way, Liu Yu could make some arrangements.

"Liu Bei is now going to join forces with Jiangdong. Then his threat to me will become too great. If you convey my will and let Mi Zizhong attack Jiangxia, you will protect Liu Qi and bring it back to me." Liu Yu ordered.

The man in black nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. Does Your Majesty have any other instructions?"

"What's going on with Liu Bei recently? Your last time said that Liu Bei was injured. How is it now?" Liu Yu asked.

The man in black replied quickly: "Liu Bei was injured when he was in Nanyang, and it seems that outsiders are not allowed to know that several doctors who helped Liu Bei treat Liu Bei were under house arrest by Liu Bei. Only one of them saw the opportunity earlier and took Jia Xiao away. The subordinates took a lot of effort to find him. From him, they learned that Liu Bei had injured one of the most important places of the man this time, and was seriously injured."

"The most important thing for men?!" Liu Yu laughed as soon as he heard this: "Haha, Liu Bei is so unlucky. It would be uncomfortable to get hurt easily. Liu Bei would not lose his ability in that area."

"According to the investigation, Liu Bei had only called a woman to serve him after entering Jiangxia, and it was only one night!" The man in black reported the information he had found very carefully.

"Liu Bei is considered useless, and it is estimated that it will never be able to become a hero in this life." Liu Yu smiled happily. If Liu Bei loses his ability, even if his power is not developed or strengthened, he will be a wedding dress for others.

Liu Yu waved his hand and asked the man in black to leave. He was in a much better mood now.
