The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 389 Fighting Jingzhou Again
Liu Bei was slow to respond. Once his scouts reported that Cao Cao was approaching his city with troops, but Liu Bei didn't respond at all. The scouts reported the distance between Cao Jun and Liu Bei's city again and again, but Liu Bei never stopped. He thought it was impossible for Cao Cao to attack him, but at last he saw Cao Jun's flag, and then hurriedly led the people under him to flee wildly.

From the above story, one conclusion can be drawn that Liu Bei's reaction is very slow, and another conclusion is that Liu Bei is most afraid of Cao Cao.

Although he got the news that Tai Shici had led troops into his territory this time, Liu Bei didn't care too much.

Liu Bei is busy raising food and grass and waiting for his ally Jiangdong Sun Quan to send troops.

With the experience of defeating Dongfang Sheng last time, Liu Bei became confident this time.

Tai Shici came aggressively. As a general, he wanted to express himself the most, so he didn't hold back from the beginning, and directly took out his sharpest attack, attacking the city with a speed that would destroy the dead.

Liu Bei just sent Jingzhou's local generals with thousands of troops to deal with Tai Shici, and he didn't care about a little Tai Shici.

At this time, Dongfang Sheng also led Badao and Tuobahan with a large number of mixed army and cavalry troops to attack Liu Bei's Nanyang County.

This time, Dongfang Sheng laid down a sacrifice to comfort the general who died last time before setting off, and at the same time vowed to recover the blood debt.

The sound of the army's orderly pace is enough to frighten weak enemies. Such highly disciplined soldiers are not something ordinary people can train.

Tuobahan's cavalry were not inferior either. They guarded the front, and the left and right flanks were also supported by cavalry. Once the enemy made a surprise attack or outflanked them, they could react quickly.

Although the newly trained army is a recruit, Dongfang Sheng has already let this new army participate in many battles. An army that has never seen blood will definitely cause problems on the battlefield.

Needless to say, Tuobahan's cavalry had been battle-hardened.

Dongfang Sheng glanced at the front with concern. What he was most worried about was not the enemies on the surface, but guys like Sima Yi and the League of Assassins who played tricks in the dark. up.

You can't be on guard all the time about a guy hiding in a dark angle, that would be too tiring.

So this time, Dongfang Sheng felt that he had to take a counterattack gradually, and it was definitely not a good way to sit and wait.

As for how to fight back, Dongfang Sheng has left it to Wang Rong and Hou Zi.

Badao next to Dongfang Sheng pulled the new-style armor on his body and said, "The thing developed by Ma Jun is so light, can it do anything?"

"This armor can resist the shooting of five-stone bows and arrows, and the sword can't hurt your body." Dongfang Sheng explained with a smile, "better armor will come out later, and the casualty rate will drop a lot by then."

Dongfang Sheng's army is all equipped with new armor, and each army carries a dagger for close combat.

On the way forward, Dongfang Sheng captured some counties and counties that Tai Shici had not captured one by one. At the same time, he also encountered Kuai Yue.

After Kuai Yue heard that Dongfang Sheng had entered Jingzhou, he immediately took several slaves to the front line overnight, and finally met Dongfang Sheng smoothly.

Although Kuai Yue's reputation may not be as great as that of Cai Mao, when Liu Biao subdued the Jingzhou clan thieves, the more than 50 clan thieves were all lured by Kuai Yue, and some of the remaining clan thieves who did not surrender were also persuaded by Kuai Yue to surrender.

Kuai Yue is no less talented and eloquent than Cai Mao, but he follows Cai Mao more, which saves effort and does not expose himself.

Of course, Kuai Yue also followed Cai Mao's suggestion when he came here this time. As soon as he saw Dongfang Sheng, he revealed Liu Bei's actions these days, and at the same time told Dongfang Sheng that Liu Bei and Sun Quan had formed an alliance.

Dongfang Sheng wasn't very interested in the known information, but he didn't want to take Kuai Yue's face off, so he could only pretend to listen seriously.

After Kuai Yue finished speaking, seeing Dongfang Sheng was not particularly excited or discouraged, but he patted his chest and said that he could make Dongfang Sheng take down all Jingzhou counties and counties except Nanyang County without spending a single soldier.

As soon as this sentence came out, Dongfang Sheng immediately stood up from his chair and said: "If the other degree can take down the rest of the counties without bloodshed, I will ask His Majesty to make you the shepherd of a state!"

Kuai Yue quickly evaded and said: "It is absolutely impossible, the general thinks highly of Kuai Yue."

"In my heart, being able to 'siege cities and loot villages' in this way is more rewarding than directly attacking cities." Dongfang Sheng said very seriously, "Don't worry, if things come to fruition, I, Dongfang Sheng, will definitely not Treat you badly!"

Kuai Yue also felt the sincerity in Dongfang Sheng's words, and immediately bowed his head and said in admiration: "Kai Yue is willing to listen to the lord's orders, and will definitely serve the lord to the death in the future!"

Dongfang Sheng immediately reached out to support Kuai Yue, and said with a smile: "I will send a team of light cavalry to follow you, so as to protect you along the way."

Kuai Yue comprehended and replied: "Here!"

Dongfang Sheng sent Kuai Yue away with great satisfaction. Compared with Cai Mao's vacillation, Dongfang Sheng actually liked Kuai Yue's straightforward personality. Although Cai Mao agreed to submit to him, his attitude was very vague. Dongfang Sheng has never get a clear answer.

The reason why Kuai Yue surrendered to Dongfang Sheng so readily was also based on the mentality of fighting for it. Kuai has been suppressed by Cai to be the second child for thousands of years, but who would be willing to be the second all the time?

This time Cai Mao said that Dongfang Sheng would send troops to attack Liu Bei, and he also revealed that Dongfang Sheng had been planning for a long time, so Kuai Yue thought over and over again that this was a good opportunity for him to rise, and immediately made the decision to join Dongfang Sheng.

The current situation in Jingzhou is actually quite severe. Compared with the local gentry, once Liu Bei and Sun Quan defeated Dongfang Sheng, then Liu Bei and Sun Quan must compete for the sovereignty of Jingzhou next.

No matter who Liu Bei and Sun Quan are, they have their own team. Liu Bei's team is a little weaker, while Sun Quan's is stronger, but neither of them will fully reuse and trust Jingzhou locals. of the gentry.

Even Cai Hao knew this, so in history Cai Hao directly took refuge in Cao Cao, and Kuai Yue followed him to join Cao Cao.

In comparison, although Dongfang Sheng also has his own team, Kuai Yue has learned from the side that Dongfang Sheng will not usually move him to attack the gentry in the city.Dongfang Sheng's approach generally cooperates with the local gentry and surnames, and adopts more moderate methods.
