Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 912 Calculating Jiang Xia 2
On the hospital bed, Liu Biao was resting his mind with his eyes closed. The battles these days had made him too troublesome. The Northern Frontier Army in Nanxiang had stopped their offensive for the time being. The army transferred from Nanyang to his side finally played a role.Gao Shun was short of manpower, so he could only focus on one of the roads. From Liu Biao's point of view, he felt that he had guessed Gao Shun's intentions. Although it was a bit late and he had almost lost the city of Nanxiang, he finally made up for it.

"Let's have some porridge..." Mrs. Cai sat on the bed holding a bowl and said, "Eat something even if you have a bad appetite. Look at how thin you have become... "

"I can't eat it." Liu Biao shook his head and said, "I really don't have an appetite. Alas, the northern army may attack at any time. Gongsun Xu is now rectifying the troops in Yuzhou and Yanzhou. Wait until he recovers." , I am in great trouble in Jingzhou, he sent Gao Shun to make us like this, if there are a few more routes, it will be fine."

"You are too." Mrs. Cai put down the bowl and said, "If Gongsun Xu really had the ability, he would have called here sooner. In my opinion, he is now trapped in Yuzhou and Yanzhou. Don't even think about it." , won such a large piece of land in such a short period of time, his Northern Xinjiang Army still has the strength to continue to attack. If so, why didn't Gongsun Xu send more troops? Gaoshun only has 10 people. I am in Jingzhou Isn't there an army of 50 million? Are you still afraid of him?

Just relax, the frontline battles will be resolved by the frontline soldiers. Your main task now is to maintain your health. If you collapse, then Jingzhou will really be hopeless. "

After Mrs. Cai's persuasion, Liu Biao also felt that this was the case. After feeling better, Liu Biao struggled to sit up and wanted to eat something.

"Report,,,,,," Liu Biao had previously ordered any urgent information to be reported directly to himself, so that he could grasp the latest news. Before he swallowed his first mouthful of porridge, a personal guard Come in and report: "My lord, something is wrong. A group of troops from the Northern Xinjiang Army appeared in the east of Xiangyang. It is only [-] miles away from Xiangyang. It is expected to arrive outside Xiangyang this evening."

"Pfft,,,,,,," a mouthful of porridge was still stuck in his throat, Liu Biao couldn't swallow it, and it was difficult to spit it out, and finally his chest was so stuffy, he tried hard, and finally spit it out, but , The porridge also turned light red.

"Call together all the generals to defend against the enemy..." Liu Biao fell before he could finish his sentence. The news came so suddenly. East appears.You know, Jiangxia is the gateway to the east of Xiangyang, and there are still tens of thousands of defenders in Jiangxia, with sufficient food, grass and equipment. Could it be that the northern border army has already captured Jiangxia?
"How's the situation?" Liu Biao's weak voice sounded from the hospital bed: "Find out who is leading the army, how many troops are there, how is Jiangxia going now, has it been captured by the Northern Xinjiang Army? Why did we Didn't get any news before? Is there any activity in the Northern Border Army over there in Nanxiang?"

A series of several questions, these people standing by the hospital bed didn't know which one to answer first.In the end, it was Kuai Liang who reported on Qianhui: "The number of Northern Xinjiang soldiers appearing in the east of Xiangyang is not yet clear, but what is certain is that Jiangxia is still safe now, and I have not received reports from Jiangxia about Northern Xinjiang before. According to any information about the army's attack, according to the general, this Northern Xinjiang army should have come from Yuzhou in a surprise attack.

The Northern Xinjiang Army has strong mobility and marches fast, and Yuzhou borders our Jingzhou. It should be that the Northern Xinjiang Army concealed its whereabouts and entered Jingzhou after a day or two of rapid march, so our army's scouts did not find out in time.

According to the report of the spies, the enemy army was flying a yellow general flag. According to the subordinates' understanding of the northern border army, it is very likely that the general Huang Zhong under Gongsun Xu's command came to lead the army.It is not so easy for the northern army to break through the high wall of Xiangyang city. However, if this northern army is stationed under the city of Xiangyang, the morale of the army in the city will definitely be shaken. At that time, even if we can defend it for a few days, it may affect the overall situation. It's not right either.

In addition, the general is very puzzled now why Jiangxia didn't move at all. It stands to reason that since the Northern Army can even avoid our eyeliner, it means that there must not be many of them. Even if the Northern Army's secrecy work is good , but it will not exceed [-] troops.

I have more than [-] defenders in Xiangyang City, and Jiangxia has more than [-] defenders. If Jiangxia can cooperate with us to attack this northern border army, maybe we can defeat this northern border army in a short time. To solve the difficulties in the east.It's just that Jiang Xia doesn't seem to intend to send troops, and the subordinates are worried that it may be that the master forcibly transferred troops from Jiang Xia last time, which made the young master and Huang Zu very dissatisfied, so this time, they..."

"Cough, cough, I don't believe that Huang Zu has the guts to disobey me." Liu Biao felt a little difficult to breathe, and the pain in his chest made him cough: "Send me, order, tell Huang Zu to prepare to attack In order to cooperate with the Xiangyang defenders to attack Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses, he must send troops within three days."

"My lord, the military aircraft is not a trivial matter. I think it's better to give Huang Zu more time to prepare." Kuai Liang quickly persuaded: "The enemy's army is only less than 6 people, and it will not pose any threat to Xiangyang for the time being. "

"If I don't urge him, do you think Huang Zu will send troops?" Liu Biao said angrily, "Cai Mao, pass the order to Huang Zu for me. I will give him five days at most. The Xiangyang defenders will attack in five days. He must cooperate." good."

"No, this subordinate will do it now,,,,,,,"

A few hours later, in a forest more than 40 miles outside Xiangyang City, a group of cavalry rode towards Jiangxia. They carried Liu Biao's order, and the defenders in the city were already preparing. Jiangxia's defenders had to cooperate with Xiangyang. The city defenders fought.

"Keep alive..." Suddenly, just as this team of cavalry was galloping wildly, the few cavalry in the front all sank. It turned out that a section of the road had been hollowed out. It is not easy to fall with a man and a horse.Immediately afterwards, many archers suddenly appeared around, all of them aimed at the messenger soldiers, and more soldiers approached with swords, shields and spears, apparently trying to force them to surrender.

The next morning, in Huang Zu's tent in Jiangxia, Liu Qi and Huang Zu were preparing to send troops.

"General Huang, please send troops immediately, we are running out of time." Liu Qi persuaded: "Xiangyang is in critical condition, my father issued an urgent order for us to pinch the Northern Frontier Army, now time is running out, three days have passed It's almost a day, and we will march for more than a day. If we don't make a move, the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang will fall into the situation of fighting alone."

"But, it's too urgent." Huang Zu is considered a veteran, so he naturally understands the importance of this order. However, he will arrive in Xiangyang within three days, so this order is indeed too urgent.

"It's all burning, can you not be in a hurry?" Liu Qi replied: "It must be that the Northern Xinjiang Army has launched a fierce attack, and my father will order our army to send troops. General, don't hesitate."

"Okay, young master, I have ordered the army to assemble, and I can dispatch it in the afternoon..."
