Three Kingdoms: defect to Liu Bei and backhand intercept Mrs. Hu Mi

Yangzhou, Moling City.

Recently, Liu Bei has been very high-spirited. He inherited Liu Yao's army and, with the help of Tai Shici, captured most of Yangzhou.

If Huainan had not been captured by Lin Fan, he would have even swallowed Sun Ce.

But recently, Liu Bei has been unhappy.

Because Sun Ce took advantage of the fierce battle between Jing and Xiang, and took advantage of the chaos in Jing and Xiang, Liu Biao shrank, and captured the three counties of Guiyang, Changsha, and Lingling. Seeing the strength on paper, Sun Ce even surpassed him, Liu Bei How can I feel comfortable?

State Shepherd's Mansion, above the main hall.

Liu Bei, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, and Tai Shi Ci were sitting around.

"Gongyou, Xianhe, Ziyi, Sun Ce took advantage of the chaos in Jingxiang to seize three counties in the south. Now his power is not weak, and he has the potential to compete with us."

"If it weren't for Lin Fan's threat in Huainan, I would have even killed him."

"But now the situation in Jingxiang is complicated and unclear, making it impossible for people to move around."

"We can only let that yellow-mouthed kid get the benefits."

"The three of them are all my loyal and trusted people. Can they have a strategy to break the situation so that we at least are not so passive?"

A ruthless glint flashed in Taishi Ci's eyes: "Immediately threaten Sun Ce to give up the two counties, otherwise we will take action directly."

"Lin Fan has just captured Huainan and has not yet had time to form a navy army. How can he have the energy to go south?"

"We still have time to integrate resources."

"Facing Lin Fan, we must respond with the strongest posture, otherwise there is no chance of winning."

Sun Qian, Jian Yong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The words are simple, but who would be willing to spit out the fat in his mouth?"

"I'm afraid Sun Ce would rather start a war with us than give up any benefits."

"If there is a stalemate between the two of us, even if Lin Fan's navy is fully prepared, they will not give up this golden opportunity."

"When the time comes, won't the snipe and the clam compete with each other and the fisherman will benefit?"

Taishi Ci's face was condensed, and he didn't know how to speak for a moment.

He also knew Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's abilities very well. It was almost impossible to defeat them quickly.

Liu Bei looked at the three people who were silent and solemn-faced, with a hint of bitterness on their faces as well: "That's alright!"

"Let's leave this matter for now"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps.

"Lord Zhou Mu, there is news from Jingxiang."

"Ok?"

"Is there any result?"

"So fast?"

Liu Bei's eyes flashed with confusion: "Come up quickly!"

"What happened in Jingxiang?"

The scout captain hurried to the hall, took a breath, and said seriously: "Liu Biao has been killed, Cao Cao's army of one hundred thousand has been wiped out, Jiangling and Jiangxia have fallen into Lin Fan's hands."

In just three sentences, the audience fell into a scene of complete silence.

Liu Bei, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, and Tai Shici all opened their mouths, and a look of shock flashed in their eyes.

How could it be Lin Fan?

How could it be that Cao Cao was defeated?

What happened?

Liu Bei looked at the scout captain: "What's going on? Tell me in detail!"

The scout captain told Jing Xiang what he had found out without hiding anything.

After listening, Liu Bei and the other two sat in their seats for a long time without speaking.

After dismissing the scouts, Liu Bei said bitterly: "I didn't expect that Lin Fan would really dare to go to Jingxiang alone. I didn't expect that the Cai family, the Kuai family, and even Zhang Xiu would support him."

"Why does a traitor get the support of so many people?" "How did he do it?"

Sun Qian, Jian Yong and Taishi Ci all remained silent.

After a long time, Sun Qian said: "My lord, Cao Cao was defeated and Jing Xiang fell into the hands of Lin Fan, which means that both Sun Ce and us have been cut off from all ties with the princes by Lin Fan."

"There's no way we're going to have reinforcements."

"The truth of death and coldness is still in front of us. It is absolutely impossible for us to fight with Sun Ce."

Liu Bei sighed: "I had no intention of actually fighting Sun Ce."

"Lin Fan is a true traitor. His existence poses a far greater threat to the Han Dynasty than any other prince."

"So we must kill him first."

"Only in this way can the great Han Dynasty have the possibility to prosper again."

Jian Yong nodded slowly: "What my lord said is absolutely true."

"Jing Xiang falling into Lin Fan's hands seems to be a bad thing, but to a certain extent, it's not all bad."

"At least he will make us all the princes understand that we can't continue to plot against each other. If Lin Fan is not killed, the world will never have peace."

"Everything you own may be easily taken away by Lin Fan one day in the future."

"So the princes will unite again and launch an attack on Lin Fan."

Speaking of this, Jian Yong walked directly to the map in the main hall and pointed to Huainan, Jingxiang, Xuzhou and Qingzhou.

"Lin Fan has risen too quickly. Although he occupies a large space, he can really digest very little."

"If Lin Fan can completely control Huainan after occupying it and open up the passage with Jingxiang, all the forces can be connected and united."

"If we want to attack, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach the sky."

"But Lin Fan has not completely occupied the land of Jingxiang and Huainan. Jingxiang is an enclave with no roots. The people who defend the city are all Liu Biao's original subordinates."

"Their fighting power is very different from the people brought out by Lin Fan."

"That is to say, as long as he is not in Jingxiang, this place will be a mess. I don't know who will listen to whom."

"Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the north can directly threaten their hinterland."

"Liu Yan to the west can threaten Jing Xiang, and we and Sun Ce can directly threaten Huainan."

"If you think about it this way, Lin Fan's territory will be surrounded from all sides."

"If the princes from all sides form a coalition, they will definitely have their own agendas and fight openly and covertly over the issue of unified command."

"Just like the eighteen princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo, or the encirclement and suppression of Lin Fan some time ago, they were pushing each other's responsibilities and restraining each other."

"But I have the piece of fat I want to eat. It's just dividing Lin Fan. The situation is different."

"Each one depends on his ability and see who can eat more."

"The prerequisite for this carve-up is that Lin Fan must die first, and this threat must be eliminated."

"So the next plan is likely to be to jointly send troops."

"If you want a quick response, you must contact the court in advance."

"My lord, please immediately send someone to Xudu and tell Cao Cao what we think."

"Sending troops as soon as possible and not giving Lin Fan a chance to breathe will be in the best interest of the overall situation."

Having said this, Liu Bei's eyes sparkled and he became more and more excited.

After a while, Taishi Ci looked at Sun Qian aside: "Gongyou, Ziyi, what do you think?"

The two of them nodded in unison: "Yes!"

"All the princes have the same enemy Lin Fan and the same interests, so they can definitely cooperate with each other."

"This battle must be won!"
