Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 674
"My lord, it takes time to mobilize troops and horses. Now Fancheng is being attacked by the herding army. The name of the herding army has always been fierce. How will Fancheng deal with it?" At this time, Jingzhou Biejia Han Song who was sitting on the left suddenly stood up and cupped his hands ask.

"Fancheng?"

Hearing this, Liu Biao stood up indifferently, stretched out his hand to caress his beautiful beard, and felt a slight movement in his heart: "Zhongye is now in Fancheng, with Zhongye's ability, even if we don't send reinforcements, with his current strength, he should be able to keep it. Fancheng is not lost, for the time being, there is no danger!"

"My lord can't be so lucky!"

Kuai Liang shook his head: "The Mu army is the most powerful soldier in the world. They fought from Nanyang to Runan, and from Runan back to Nanyang. Tens of thousands of soldiers dared to kill Guanzhong, seize the position of great treasure and dominate the world. The alliance of heroes is also fearless, and even defeated the princes of the Kanto. Even if they were later attacked by the Xiliang army from behind and defeated, they were able to keep the main force and fight out in the face of the Xiliang army's siege in Guanzhong. It is so strong Soldiers, there are few in the world, how can we deny their strength, if they attack with all their strength, General Wen may not be able to stop them even with the same strength!"

"This Fancheng, we still really need to increase our troops, and we must increase our troops. If we don't protect Fancheng, it's no different from Xiangyang. Only with Fancheng can we keep Xiangyang safe and sound!"

"If we increase our troops to Fancheng, why do we have soldiers and horses to guard Xiangyang City?"

A middle-aged scribe rebutted Kuai Liang, saying.

His name is Wang Can.

Wang Can was in his early forties. He was good at literature and calligraphy. He was not only an outstanding scholar in Jingzhou, but also well-known among scholars all over the world. engaged in Zhonglang.

In fact, no matter whether they are engaged in Biejia or Zhonglang, they can be regarded as one of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao's advisers, and they are also the best among them, Liu Biao's confidantes.

Talented people in troubled times have joined the Ming Lord one after another, and they can show what they have learned, so that they can live up to their talents.

They also used to be born in a poor family and had no connections, so they could only make a name for themselves in Shilin, but they were unable to enter official careers and were depressed.

Liu Biao was able to stay in Jingzhou for a short period of time, thanks to his reputation as the Eight Steeds, he was sought after by scholars in Shilin, and many people took refuge in him.

That's the power of fame.

The quarrel just now was just a prelude. Now when it was time to make suggestions, they all offered suggestions. This is the cohesion of Jingzhou.

"Xiangyang is my state city of Jingzhou, there is absolutely no room for loss!"

Another young man in his early thirties said in a youthful voice: "General Cai Mao has already taken half of the navy away. Our troops in Xiangyang are already weak, and we can barely maintain the responsibility of defending the city on weekdays. Soldiers must not move!"

He is Xiangyang Ling, Deng Xi.

Deng Xi was born in the Deng family of Xinye. When Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, he organized the village party soldiers to support Liu Biao. He was one of the heroes of Liu Biao's entry into Jingzhou.

"Actually, besides the troops in Xiangyang, we have another army that can be mobilized in the shortest time, and the strength is not weak!"

Kuai Liang said suddenly.

"Where are the soldiers and horses, Zirou come quickly!"

Liu Biao is still scratching his head now. Whether to reinforce Fancheng or not is a dilemma. He trusts Wenpin, but it is undeniable that the Mujun is strong.

Even though there was news about Mu Jun's disarmament, who knows if it was fake news.

Once the shepherds attack with all their nests, Fancheng may not be able to stop it.

But if the soldiers and horses guarding Xiangyang are mobilized to Fancheng, then Xiangyang will become empty, although they are sure that as long as the front line is not broken, no one will foolishly go around the battlefield to attack Xiangyang.

But 1 impossibilities and one eventuality cannot be guaranteed.

Who can predict what happens on the battlefield.

Only by letting enough troops suppress Xiangyang can they rest assured that the entire Jingzhou can be stable.

There are reasons to increase troops or not to increase troops, which makes it difficult to decide.

At this time, Kuai Liang suddenly had an idea, which made Liu Biao very happy.

"My lord, besides our main army, there is actually another army stationed outside the suburbs of Xiangyang, but we don't pay much attention to it on weekdays!" Kuai Liangruo pointedly said.

"Which army?"

Liu Biao frowned and asked hastily.

"Kuai Changshi was talking about the Jiangxia thief?"

Han Song had a flash of inspiration and said suddenly.

"Jiangxia thief?"

"It's them?"

"This is a force, but is it useful?"

When everyone heard the words, they suddenly came to their senses and began to discuss.

Outside the city of Xiangyang, there were not many soldiers and horses that could be stationed, and everyone knew it well, so when they said it, everyone understood, but facing this army of soldiers, there were some disagreements.

"Jiangxia thief? This is a usable soldier. It was able to force Huang Zu to be helpless at the beginning. It has combat power, and its strength is not weak. There are thousands of them. At least it can solve the urgent need, but..."

Liu Biao was stunned for a moment, a little happy at first, but soon became sad: "Zi Rou, it's not that I don't want to use them, but Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng are left out by us. If we can use this force smoothly It's not a big problem to take them under my command, but if I want to use them now, I'm afraid I can't get around Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng. These two people took refuge in me at the beginning, but they can't be reused, so there is no guarantee that there will be no complaints!"

There are thousands of Jiangxia thieves in their army, all of them are ruthless bandits. There were a lot of things, but in the end they led the army to vote, but fell into Xiangyang's trap, and none of these promises were fulfilled.

In his bones, Liu Biao looked down on thieves and bandits.

Otherwise, there would not be such a heavy failure in history. Gan Ning, the fierce general of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, had originally relied on Liu Biao's command in history, but he could not reuse it for seven or eight years, and Gan Ning would not be seen. Ability, no, if Liu Biao doesn't even have this ability to judge people, he is not worthy to be the lord of Jingzhou.

What he looked down upon was Gan Ning's background.

Liu Biao is a person who attaches great importance to family background. The so-called family background does not mean that he must be from a wealthy family, but from a good family. He accepts even children from poor families, but he cannot accept those who are bandits.

Therefore, when Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng took refuge, he played a trick and went up and down directly, trapped Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu in Xiangyang City, excluded them from his inner circle, and peeped at their soldiers and horses.

The Jiangxia bandits under their command were stationed outside. After Liu Biao stabilized the two, he sent another person to accept, divide, organize, and rectify.

This is a sure thing.

Even if the two had grievances, they couldn't turn around. After all, this is Xiangyang City, and Xiangyang's troops can be pulled out to destroy them. Under strong pressure, Liu Biao is confident that all the thousands of Jiangxia thieves will be wiped out in half a year. Take it back under the door.

But now, time is too short.

The Jiang Xia thief is still Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng as the main generals, and the brand of the two is too deep, and the generals have not been cleared. Basically, they are the confidants of the two. If you want to use Jiang Xia thief, you must use Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng.

"My lord, I know you are worried about using them now, but it's not like no one can use them. In our Jingzhou, they always respect one person. If there is one person as the general, they can rest assured!"

Kuai Liang was silent for a while, struggling in his heart, but for the sake of the overall situation of Jingzhou, he still proposed it.

"Ji Gong?"

Liu Biao naturally knew who Kuai Liang was talking about.

Pang Ji.

Because it was Pang Ji who persuaded the two to surrender, they would surrender to Jingzhou, and more because they respected Pang Ji's character and reputation.

"But Ji Gong is suffering from illness now, so he can't work hard. If it is because of the labor on the battlefield, Ji Gong..."

Liu Biao was a little embarrassed.

It wasn't that he couldn't mobilize Jingzhou's regular troops, it was just that Jingzhou was hit by a surprise attack, and he just realized it now. It would take time to recruit troops, even if Deng Long was transferred back from the north, it would still take time.

At this time, Xiangyang's troops were limited, and it was imperative to mobilize the Jiangxia bandits.

But the Jiang Xia thief is indeed a double-edged sword.

And only Pang Ji can use this double-edged blade.

"This matter cannot be discussed again!"

Liu Biao waved his hand and said directly: "I would rather lose Fancheng than Ji Gong, and let Ji Gong recuperate from his illness!"

"It's the subordinate's recklessness!"

Kuai Liang sighed and said hastily.

……

One night passed, and around ten o'clock in the morning, all civil and military officials came out from the Jingzhou State Shepherd's Mansion. After coming out, they did not return home immediately to rest, but returned to their respective yamen, and moved quickly.

When they started to move, Jingzhou's ability to deal with the crisis was exploded.

Although Liu Biao's time in Jingzhou was short, with the support of the Jingzhou family, he took control of Jingzhou very quickly. In addition, he is approachable and good at government affairs, and he has done an excellent job in winning people's hearts.

Today's Jingzhou is not considered to be made into an iron bucket by him, but it is basically controlled by him.

There is a backbone, Jingzhou has soldiers, horses, food and grass, and it is really not afraid of foreign enemies.

……

noon.

Liu Biao pinched the bridge of his tired nose and soothed his sore eyes. He hadn't slept all night, and now he was still working hard to continue administration. He suddenly felt a little tired.

"My lord, Ji Gong is here!"

At this time, a guard suddenly came to report.

"what?"

Liu Biao stood up suddenly, he didn't care about other things, and went out barefoot.

Outside the door, a pale old man was waiting with a cane.

"Ji Gong, you are seriously ill, how can you walk around, what's the matter, you can just give an order, how can you bother?" Liu Biao welcomed the old man in person, and waited on the left and right, which showed his true feelings. respect.

"My lord, this old man is here to ask for a fight!"

Pang Ji said in a hoarse voice.

"Ji Gong, you are not in good health now, so you must not worry about it. How can you worry about these mundane things when you are recuperating on the couch!" Liu Biao did not expect that the matter would reach the Pang family so quickly. It seems that Kuai Liang did not give up. ah.

But he couldn't go against his conscience and let Pang Ji fight for him while sick.

"My lord, for the safety of millions of people in Jingzhou, Ji's body alone is nothing to worry about!" Pang Ji said softly: "If the shepherd's iron hooves want to step on my land in Jingzhou, you have to ask the people of Jingzhou. Willing or not, my lord, please allow me to lead Jiang Xiaying to the expedition!"

When recruiting Jiang Xia's bandits back then, he was given an establishment, Jiang Xia Ying.

"Ji Gong?"

Liu Biao was in a dilemma, indeed only Pang Ji could hold back the Jiangxia bandit, but Pang Ji's current body would collapse when the wind blows, how dare he take the risk.

"My lord, if Ji can be shrouded in Jingzhou horse leather, how can Ji die on his sick bed!"

Pang Ji bowed his head: "I also ask my lord to complete it!"
