Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 673 Coping
If the Mu Army did not make Liu Biao pay attention, then the appearance of the Yizhou Army awakened Liu Biao's spirit by 12 points. To him, this was a giant and an indescribable crisis.

Liu Biao summoned all the ministers in Jingzhou that night to discuss what to do.

"What, the Mu army attacked our Fancheng?"

"Turn against them, since they have turned their backs on their promises, we will fight them!"

"The shepherds can't be trusted, let them see how brave Jingzhou Erlang is!"

"I'm afraid it's not just the matter of the Hanzhong Shepherd Army. The Yizhou Army is also attacking our Jingzhou. The vanguard has entered Nanjun and is coming straight to our Xiangyang!"

"impossible!"

"Is the Yizhou army really launching an attack on our Jingzhou?"

"That is why ah?"

"We and Yizhou have always been in conflict with each other. How could they attack us?"

"Yizhou Mu Liu Yan and our envoy are both members of the great Han family. Logically speaking, they shouldn't fight in the same room at this time!"

"Could it be a conspiracy by Mu Jun?"

"It's possible, maybe Mujun is pretending to be the main force of Yizhou, with the purpose of trying to mess us up!"

"Improbable. The Yangtze River waterway leads directly to Yizhou, and Hanzhong is beyond reach. Such a large-scale attack is definitely not something that Hanzhong can do. It must be a warship from Yizhou!"

"..."

Under the lights, after hearing the news, the civil and military officials in Jingzhou immediately started a heated discussion.

It was too unexpected for them.

They could accept Nanyang's attack, Jiangdong's attack, Jiaozhou's northward movement from the south, and Hanzhong's herding army's rebellion, but they still had a hard time accepting Yizhou.

After all, in today's world, it is always the Han Dynasty, and the Han flag is still flying in the sky. Subconsciously, they all think that the clan of the Han Dynasty must be an alliance, but they don't expect Liu Yan to fight without declaring it.

Liu Biao knelt on the first seat, the more present he became, the calmer he became. Jingzhou was the place where he took so much painstaking efforts to settle down, and he would never allow anyone to get involved, anyone who came would be the enemy.

Since he is an enemy, he will not be soft.

After a while, the voices of the dispute in the hall gradually became quieter, and the emotions of the civil and military officials who were discussing also became quieter, and they began to think about the problem while calming down.

"My lord, has it been confirmed that the Yizhou army is heading east along the Yangtze River waterway?"

After a while, Cai Mao stepped out, left Zuo, and stood in the middle, clasped his hands to Liu Biao, and asked in a low voice.

"Degui, what did you ask first?"

Liu Biao said softly.

"My lord, what I want to ask is, is Yizhou going to be our enemy?" Cai Mao asked on behalf of everyone.

"This news has been confirmed. It is confirmed by the lives of our sons from Jingzhou. Zigui is lost, and the souls of three thousand sons from Jingzhou have returned to the Yangtze River. The blood has begun to stain the rolling river. How can it be fake!"

Liu Biao's cold voice was like electricity, and the voice echoed above the main hall: "A certain is Jingzhou Shepherd, defending the life and death of Jingzhou people, no matter who the enemy is, they dare to step into our Jingzhou territory, they are enemies!"

With this sentence, the civil and military officials in Jingzhou were relieved.

The enemy is clear, and the next step is nothing more than war.

"Then my lord, where is Yiling? Is there any news from Yiling?"

Cai Mao is also a master of war art, and he is also a general of water warfare in Jingzhou. In Jingzhou, he ranks first in the field of siege, but no one can compete with Cai Mao and Zhang Yun in the waterway. When he heard the news of Zigui's loss, he immediately Ask Yiling.

"There is no news about Yiling for now!" Liu Biao shook his head, he was also worried about Yiling.

He has been focusing on the north and the south. In the south, there is Zhangjin in Jiaozhou, and in the north is Nanyang, which he wants most. Therefore, he is slightly lax about things. However, in the east, there is Huang Zu's suppression, and now Jiangdong is in chaos, so there is no time to take care of it. Jingzhou was not a threat, but it was west. He made a mistake and instinctively placed Liu Yan in the position where he was least likely to be an enemy, so he didn't have too many troops to guard it.

This also allowed the Yizhou army to go down the river for thousands of miles, and no one knew it, and Zigui was easily captured by the Yizhou army.

After Zigui came Yiling.

Yiling has a heavy army, but there are only five thousand soldiers and horses. Although they are elite, if they are caught off guard, they may not be able to stop the Yizhou vanguard.

"Lord!"

Cai Mao stood up abruptly, and begged for orders: "Since the enemy has been confirmed, the soldiers are precious and swift, please allow me to immediately summon troops and set off to Yiling. Yiling must not be lost. Once Yiling is lost, we will lose our opponents." With Yizhou's checks and balances, it's easy for the Yizhou army to drive straight in!"

"My lord, brother Degui is right, we must keep Yiling now!"

Kuai Liang also added a sentence.

Although he is proficient in government affairs, it does not mean that he does not understand military affairs. If he directly leads troops to fight, he is definitely not as good as Cai Mao, but if he is deduced on the map, his ability is no less than any famous general.

The importance of Yiling to Nanjun cannot be overstated.

"it is good!"

Liu Biao also quickly came up with an idea. At this time, he put aside all internal conflicts, and also let go of the checks and balances on the leading generals. His courage was different from ordinary people: "Degui, this is a tiger charm. You immediately lead [-] troops and march day and night. We must rush to Yiling as soon as possible!"

He sent out a piece of Tiger Talisman.

Jingzhou's military administration is on the right track, and it is impossible to mobilize the army without a tiger charm.

After he handed the Tiger Talisman to Cai Mao, he continued, "After you arrive in Yiling, how you deal with the Yizhou Army is up to you!"

"As ordered!"

Cai Mao took the command, his hands trembling when he took the tiger talisman. A soldier died for his confidant. Liu Biao's trust in him made him feel heavy. Sending a piece of tiger talisman is equivalent to giving military power directly.

"Degui, I entrust Yiling to you!" Liu Biao said softly.

"Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely live up to my lord's entrustment. No matter what the situation in Yiling is, as long as I am here, I will keep Yiling safe and my Jingzhou gate safe!" Cai Mao bowed his head, his voice resolute.

Cai Mao left the hall in a hurry, but the discussion in the hall did not quiet down.

The Yizhou army and the Hanzhong herdsmen came together to kill them. Even though they had confidence in Jingzhou, they still felt a lot of pressure, and even a breathless air enveloped the state shepherd's mansion in Jingzhou.

"My lord, now it seems that the situation is clear. The Hanzhong herding army must have responded to Yizhou's request before sending troops to Jingzhou!" Kuai Liang said.

"Why isn't Mulongtu the mastermind?"

"Mulongtu can't command Liu Yan, but Liu Yan can command Mulongtu!"

"That's right!" Liu Biao nodded upon hearing that, "So, does Liu Yan want my Jingzhou?"

Kuai Liang analyzed: "My lord, Liu Yan and you are the ministers of the clan. Today, the world is in chaos, and the power of self-protection in various places is not enough. According to the logic, Yizhou and Jingzhou should be allies, and they can advance and retreat together. In the invincible place, now that Liu Yan suddenly marches into Jingzhou and fights without declaring it, I'm afraid it's not just a simple plan for Jingzhou, he has a very big plan!"

"Zirou, what do you think Liu Junlang is plotting?"

Liu Biao didn't care about Hanzhong, he cared more about Liu Yan's intentions.

This ancestor of the clan is older than him and has a higher reputation than him among the clansmen of the Han clan. And I certainly can't do it.

"Liu Yizhou's current situation has reached its limit, and if it goes further, it will be the sky!"

Kuai Liang leaned forward and said in a very soft voice.

"No way!"

Liu Biao's pupils changed suddenly, and he said, "Dare he?"

It was a layer of window paper, and if it was pierced, it would really break the sky.

"Although I don't know how he can rely on him, but my lord, we have to guard against it. If Liu Yizhou intends to do this, then he may not be making a fuss. He will come out with all his strength and fight to the death with me in Jingzhou!" Kuai Liang said.

"It's time to guard against it!"

Liu surface looked gloomy: "Alien!"

"exist!"

Kuai Liang's younger brother Kuai Yue stepped out and stood by.

"Immediately hold my festival, take a trip to Jiangxia, and then go to Changsha. In the name of appeasing the hearts of the people, secretly discuss with Huangzu Zhang Yun, so that they are ready to send troops to Xiangyang at any time!"

Liu Biao said.

"promise!"

Kuai Yue took orders.
