People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

When Liu Bei heard the news, he secretly thought that Jingzhou had surrendered. Such a large Jingzhou surrendered without any resistance.

Liu Bei was heartbroken. Over the years, wars had been going on elsewhere, but Jingzhou was the only one enjoying peace.

Not to mention anything else, as long as Jingzhou resists wholeheartedly and transfers all its troops and food to Xiangyang, if the food and grass are not exhausted and the troops are not exhausted within a year and a half, then Li Yao will not be able to take this city.

Now it's fine, Xiangyang is free, and the whole Jingzhou is free.

Liu Bei's face was full of sorrow, he closed his eyes and said helplessly:
"The great clans of Jingzhou are so unbearable, they are so humble, they surrender to thieves and flatter themselves..."

Then he opened his eyes and looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei:
"Second brother, third brother, send an order to speed up the march, and must rush to Jiangxia immediately to help Mr. Liu Qi resist Li Yao's attack, otherwise this place will surely fall into the hands of thieves!"

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, when they heard the words, they clasped their hands and said:

"Follow the order!"

In addition to speeding up the march, Liu Bei also dispatched manpower to notify Sun Quan and Cao Pi non-stop.

This matter cannot be solved by him alone. Only the three families can advance and retreat together to resist Li Yao's move south.

Jiangdong, Wujun!
Sun Quan was also shocked and shouted in his heart:

"No, you came for me!"

Sun Quan was originally the safest, but after Li Yao captured Jingzhou, as long as he led his army south along the river, they would have no way to hide.

Don't say anything about leaving Wu Jun. When he fled Wu Jun, that was when his rule collapsed.

They all saw the serious consequences of Cao Pi's escape from Xu County. The entire four states of the Central Plains were in panic and were easily taken away by Li Yao.

It had only been a little more than a year since Sun Quan came to power. During this year, he actively dealt with political affairs, just to accumulate prestige and prove that he could support Jiangdong.

However, facing the menacing Li Yao, he still felt a sense of fear. He was afraid of death, but he was even more afraid of losing the foundation built by his father and brother, which would make his life worse than death.

Before his death, his brother told him that if he was not sure about foreign affairs, he should ask Zhou Yu, and if he was not sure about domestic matters, he should ask Zhang Zhao.

Now this was a foreign matter and a war, so he should ask Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu was in Chaisang, training the navy in Poyang Lake.

How could there not be a navy in such a suitable place for the navy? So at Zhou Yu's suggestion and with the support of Sun Ce, the navy plan was officially passed.

It's a pity that Sun Ce died too early, and Zhou Yu could only train alone. In this short period of time, battleships, soldiers, ordnance, food and grass... have not all been solved yet. Compared with Cao Cao going south, Li Yao is now eight years ahead of schedule.

So he thought of Lu Su, Zhou Yu's friend and Jiangdong's important minister.

After finding Lu Su, Sun Quan explained the situation, looked at Lu Su expectantly, and said:
"Why?"

Lu Su heard this and said in a deep voice:

"Ming Gong, I have never met Li Yao, but judging from his past deeds, he must be coming for us and Jiangdong. Not only that, but also Cao Pi, and Jiang Huai..."

"As an ally who advances and retreats together, the King of the East China Sea has already gone to Jiangxia. It is absolutely impossible for him to surrender to Li Yao..."

"Contact Cao Pi. We must deal with the enemy together at this time. He and Li Yao have a grudge for killing their father. Both public and private, they should send troops. After he sends troops, we will also send troops. Li Yao must be blocked outside Jiangxia, otherwise Li Yao Yao goes south along the Yangtze River, and the river defense line and the Huai River defense line are useless to him!"

When Sun Quan heard this, he nodded firmly:
"That's right, father and brother Jiye, I will never surrender!"

Lu Su was very pleased. As long as he survived this catastrophe, Sun Quan would surely become a great weapon in the future: "Minggong, I would like to go to Shouchun in person, and urge Cao Pi to send troops to rescue Jiangxia as soon as possible!"

Sun Quan nodded without hesitation:

"Go ahead, leave everything to Zijing!"

Jianghuai, Jiujiang!
Cao Pi had a tense face, and around him Xun Yu, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Yu Jin, Le Jin... all had serious expressions, no fear, only heaviness.

Xun Yu got up to explain the situation, watched the crowd and said slowly:
"The latest news is that Jingzhou has surrendered without a fight. If Li Yao leads the army south along the Yangtze River, the Huaihe River defense line we have deployed will not be of any use at all..."

"There is no retreat. There is only one battle. Only by defeating Li Yao can we gain breathing room. Only by defeating Li Yao can we have a chance to counterattack the Central Plains!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was filled with murderous intent. Just like Xun Yu said, they had no way to retreat.

As for surrender, Cao Cao is dead, Cao Ang is dead, Xiahou Dun is dead, Xiahouyuan is dead, Dianwei is dead, Xu Chu is dead... Such deep hatred has completely blocked the way for them to surrender.

At this time, Cao Pi's eyes gradually turned red, he clenched his fists, looked at everyone and said loudly:

"The hatred between father and brother is irreconcilable. Cao Pi depends on you all for his wishes!"

Regardless of whether Cao Pi's feelings are true or not, his statement brought the atmosphere to a climax directly. The hearts of everyone and the wish of one person are completely blended at this moment.

But at this moment, a guard came to report and said:
"Jiangdong Lu Su is here and is resting in the post house now!"

Xun Yu chuckled and said:
"Originally, Li Yao needed to break Jianghuai before he could threaten Jiangdong. But now, after Li Yao captured Jingzhou, Jianghuai and Jiangdong are all within his attack range. Now it is Sun Quan's turn and he can't sit still. Lu Su is in such a hurry Come here, it must be about Li Yao..."

"We lost the four states in the Central Plains. Now Jiangdong is our strong support against Li Yao. On this big river, our army from the north can hardly exert its full combat power. I believe the same is true for Li Yao. Maybe the Jiangdong army just defeated Li Yao. key!"

Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Yu Jin, and Le Jin all nodded their heads. They all have a deep understanding that water kung fu is just like horse kung fu. It really cannot be practiced in three or five days.

After arriving in Jianghuai, they wanted a force that could fight on the water, so they tried their best to recruit from the local area instead of training the original troops to become naval forces.

If you don't have good water properties, you really can't become a sailor.

……

After some discussion...

Cao Pi sent [-] troops, with Cao Ren as the general and Yu Jin as the deputy general, the army set out and marched into Jiangxia.

These 3 people were the [-] elite troops of Cao Cao who came from the north. Even the Huai River defense line was handed over to the new soldiers recruited from the Jianghuai River.

If it succeeds, it will defeat Li Yao. If it fails, it will lose veterans and only recruits. The whole Jianghuai is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. When it dies, it depends on when Li Yao eats it.

Sun Quan sent [-] troops, with Cheng Pu as the chief general and Zhou Yu as his deputy. Cheng Pu was more senior and Zhou Yu was less senior.

Now the main force in Jiangdong is still the old man who followed Sun Jian and Sun Ce to fight. The naval force compiled and trained by Zhou Yu has not yet been completed, so he can only serve as deputy general.

Cheng Pu led 2 people to set off, and after meeting Zhou Yu, he would go to Jiangxia to fight.
