Three Kingdoms: Hegemony System

It is said that Liu Bei traveled day and night, full of expectations, and when he was about to arrive in Wancheng, he saw a dense number of warships docked on the Baihe River, all of which were hung with the word 'Wen'.

Liu Bei's heart was half cold at that time, but he didn't expect that he would still come to the evening.

Xu Shu smiled bitterly and said, "Lord, it seems that Liu Jue has already taken a step ahead of us and sent Wen Ping to attack Wancheng." "

Liu Bei said a little dejectedly: "What should we do now?

Xu Shu pondered for a moment and said: "Wancheng and Nanyang County are located in the northernmost part of Jingzhou, if Cao Cao's army goes south in the future, this place will definitely bear the brunt. For the current Jingzhou, it is more of a burden, and it is a very unwise choice for Liu Biao to send troops to occupy it. "

Liu Bei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "In other words, we still have a chance now?"

Xu Shu nodded and said: "Yes, but it depends on what Liu Jue says, now that he has made a great contribution, Liu Biao will attach great importance to his opinion." "

Liu Bei frowned and said, "Yuan Zhi, what do you think is our chance?"

Xu Shu sighed and said, "Half a chance! As long as Liu Jue feels that this place is undefendable, we will be able to take Wancheng at that time, but it will be ......."

Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "It's just what?"

Xu Shu shook his head and said: "Even if Liu Jue doesn't plan to guard this place, then he will never leave empty-handed, and he will definitely loot the entire Nanyang." "

Liu Bei instantly understood, and said, "Are you talking about the population of Nanyang?"

Xu Shu smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, he will definitely move the population of Nanyang to the interior of Jingzhou, whether we or Cao Cao, we will only get an empty shell in the end." "

Liu Bei's heart sank, if Nanyang County had no population, what was the use of just having such a large territory?

In these troubled times, population is fundamental.

Only a sufficient population can be conscripted and able to compete with the princes.

"Let's not talk about this for the time being, let's go to Wancheng first, Liu Jue probably knows that we are coming. Liu Bei sighed and ordered the soldiers to stop the boat and dock.

Soon, Liu Bei saw Liu Jue, and the tall Wancheng in front of him had also been replaced with the 'Liu' flag.

Liu Jue smiled and said, "I didn't expect Uncle Liu Huang to come too, could it be that he came for Wancheng?"

Liu Bei coughed and said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew said that he was joking! I heard that the virtuous nephew had broken Cao Ren, and I thought that I would take this opportunity to break through Wancheng and cut off Cao Ren's back road. "

Liu Jue said with a smile: "I see!"

Liu Bei's face did not change, and said: "In this battle, I didn't have a single soldier, and I really didn't want to go, if I can help my nephew capture Wancheng, it can be regarded as a great achievement." "

Liu Jue laughed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but Wancheng has now been captured by me, so it's really annoying Uncle Liu Huang to run for nothing." "

"Virtuous nephew is polite!" Liu Bei said

"Since Uncle Liu Huang is here, why don't you enter the city with me so that you can settle down and rest. Liu Jue smiled slightly.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. Liu Bei smiled bitterly in his heart.

......

Wancheng is too guarded in the house.

Liu Jue had completely controlled Wancheng, but the matter was far from over, so he called Pang Tong to discuss the matter.

Both of them looked very relaxed, after all, they had just defeated Cao Ren and won Wancheng effortlessly, which could be said to be a great victory.

Liu Jue opened his mouth and asked: "Brother Shiyuan, now that we occupy Wancheng, the next step is to attack Nanyang, I don't know if you have any suggestions?"

Pang Tong smiled slightly and said, "Young General, you must have already figured in your heart that there is no need for Wancheng to be defended." "

Liu Jue smiled and said, "Yes! The location of Wancheng is too dangerous, only a few hundred miles away from Xuchang, Cao Cao will definitely not give up easily." And if Cao Cao goes south in the future, the entire Nanyang will definitely bear the brunt. "

Pang Tong nodded and said: "What the young general said is extremely true! If we station troops here, it will disperse the forces of Jingzhou, if Cao Cao really goes south in the future, it is better to concentrate superior forces and defeat them all in a battle." "

Liu Jue nodded and said, "That's right! Yes, it's a bit early to say this, and now what we have to think about is how to deal with the problem of Wancheng." "

Pang Tong said with a smile: "It's better to let Wen Ping and Gan Ning lead the troops, capture more than ten cities in Nanyang, and plunder all the population to other counties in Jingzhou." "

Liu Jue laughed and said: "Shi Yuan's words are exactly what I want! The entire Nanyang County has a population of more than 200,000 people, which is a huge fortune! Not only can it not be left to Cao Cao, but it also cannot be left to Liu Bei. "

Attacking the city and taking away the people, no matter who takes over Wancheng, Liu Jue doesn't need to care, he can only worry about Cao Cao or Liu Bei.

This kind of thing that harms others and benefits himself, Liu Jue likes to do it the most.

Liu Jue continued: "I think Liu Bei is very greedy for Wancheng, it's better to give it to him when the time comes, as for whether he can stop Cao Cao, then we don't have to worry." "

Anyway, let Liu Bei be the guard dog, it is better to let him go to guard Wancheng, so that it is farther away from Xiangyang, and Liu Jue can watch him and Cao Cao pinch each other with peace of mind.

When Pang Tong heard this, he said: "Wancheng is the barrier of Xuchang, and Cao Cao will definitely not give up." However, when Cao Cao gets the news, and then dispatches troops and gathers grain and grass, I am afraid it will take a month or two. Besides, it's winter now, and even if Cao Cao wants to raise troops, he has to wait until the beginning of spring, and at that time it's too late to say anything. "

Liu Jue smiled slightly: "And Cao Cao is in the north, and there are the Yuan brothers and the Wuhuan of the three counties to clean up, and this battle will probably take more than half a year." "

Historically, Cao Cao purged the Yuan brothers and the expedition to Wuhuan until November next year, and let Guo Jia die halfway.

When Liu Jue thought of this, he couldn't wait to applaud and shout three times, 'Die well'.

Guo Jia is known as a last resort, Cao Cao has come all the way to today, he definitely has a lot of credit, and he definitely belongs to the level of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

Thinking that Guo Jia was about to die, Liu Jue felt very comfortable, and he wished that Xun Yu and Cheng Yu would all die violently.

Wancheng let go, let go, if you want to achieve the hegemony of the emperor, you can't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place.

And it's not a big deal to give Wancheng to Liu Bei, the population is taken away by Liu Jue himself, what is the use of having an empty territory?

And in the future, Cao Cao's army will go south, Liu Bei will not be able to resist it at all, so he can only flee in a hurry, and it is not the same as nothing.

Liu Jue thought of this and felt that it was not too late, so he immediately called Wen Ping and Gan Ning, and asked them to immediately lead troops to attack other cities in Nanyang and plunder the people in the city.

At the same time, Liu Jue wrote a letter to inform Liu Biao of the capture of Wancheng and the looting of the people, so that he could be prepared. _
