One month later.

Liu Chen waited until Cai Yan fully recovered, then left Changshan directly and went to the Yanzhou front line to boost morale and prepare to start the war.

Liu Chen has been to Yanzhou many times before, but this time he stepped into Yanzhou and it seemed to be a completely different world.

Road traffic is all constructed with cement roads, and Guo Jia obviously ordered the construction workers to strengthen the construction to prepare for future war logistics.

People who did not want to leave their homes also moved into red brick and cement houses. Schools, hospitals, shops and other infrastructure are readily available.

Especially medical clinics.

In the future, Yanzhou will serve as a springboard for Changshan's army to move south, and it will also be a place for transporting the wounded. The medical aspect has also been greatly improved and strengthened!

This made Liu Chen very satisfied, and he rewarded Guo Jia and other responsible personnel vigorously.

After observing the development of people's livelihood in various counties in Yanzhou, Liu Chen reviewed the troops in Yanzhou to boost morale and kick off the next war!

It was not until more than a month after Liu Chen entered Yanzhou that Yuan Shu in Yuzhou and Tao Qian in Xuzhou received the intelligence information belatedly.

This was not the information obtained by their spies, but the newspaper distribution under Liu Chen finally spread this shocking news throughout the world!

That moment.

All states and counties in the world are shocked!

In particular, Yuan Shu of Yuzhou and Tao Qian of Xuzhou, which bordered Yanzhou, were even more shocked. They summoned civil servants and generals to discuss the next matters!

Now even an idiot can see that Changshan King Liu Chen is ready to go south at any time.

Changshan King Liu Chen himself even visited the front line of Yanzhou. This level of attention shows Liu Chen's urgency to conquer the states and unify the world!

Yangzhou.

Sun Jian once again summoned his ministers and generals to discuss important matters.

During this period of time, their battle against Jiaozhou was overwhelming, sweeping thousands of armies and winning one after another!

It was obviously a surprising moment for people to celebrate, but after Liu Chen came to Yanzhou in person, none of them could be happy anymore, and they were extremely shocked!

"Do you have any good ideas? What should we do next?"Sun Jian rubbed his sore head, not knowing what to do next.

Sun Jian himself was also an excellent general, but in terms of managing the internal affairs of his territory, he was not as good as Cao Cao and slightly weaker than Liu Bei.

The same was true for Sun Ce. A first-rate general who charges into battle. On the contrary, Sun Quan has no general talent at all, but his internal affairs ability is slightly excellent.

Of course.

Now that the Sun family is assisted by top advisers such as Zhou Yu and Lu Su, this weakness has been downplayed a lot.

Zhou Yu , Lu Su, Zhang Zhao and other advisers discussed among each other for a long time.

Zhou Yu cupped his hands and said:

"Lord, there is no need to worry. Although King Changshan is coming to Yanzhou in person, Yuan Shu from Yuzhou and Tao Qian from Xuzhou are still blocking his way, so we still have time to prepare. Lu

Su nodded and said:

"Although Yuan Shu of Yuzhou and Tao Qian of Xuzhou are not as powerful as King Changshan, they still have many soldiers and generals. They can still hold them back for a year and a half!"

The affirmative tone of the two top advisers made Sun Jian finally feel relieved. If there is still a year and a half to prepare, maybe it's still too late.

"In this case, do we need to suspend our battle against Jiaozhou and recall all our soldiers to prepare for the Changshan Army's attack? Sun Jian asked in confusion.

Zhou Yu shook his head firmly and said:

"Absolutely not. On this occasion, we should intensify the battle against Jiaozhou in order to defeat Jiaozhou before the Changshan Army conquers Yuzhou and Xuzhou.

"When the time comes, you can advance to attack and retreat to defend. This is the best strategy!"

Lu Su also agreed with this military battle plan.

However, some other advisers and generals were somewhat opposed.

However, after Sun Jian thought for a moment, he still agreed with Zhou Yu and Lu Su.

These two people showed outstanding talents, military capabilities, and internal affairs. His ability is definitely superior to other heroes. Sun Jian believes in the judgment of Zhou Yu and Lu Su!

But at this moment

"Report!"

The urgent voice of the messenger suddenly came from outside the door:"Report to Zhou Mu! Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian took the initiative to dedicate the city to Changshan King and welcome Changshan King to Xuzhou!"

Boom!

It exploded like five thunders!

Everyone present, whether they were Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other powerful generals, or Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao and other advisers, were completely shocked! They were horrified.!

They had calculated everything, but they really didn’t expect that Tao Qian would be so cowardly and spineless that he would directly surrender the city?!

This Changshan King had just been supervising the battle in Yanzhou and was not ready to go south. Tao Qian even resisted a little bit. For a moment, you no longer have any intention of pretending?!

"How foolish!

Zhang Zhao said contemptuously:"This kind of giving up the city is simply looked down upon!""

"If I were allowed to come, I would definitely block Chang Shan's army for a while before choosing to surrender!"

Zhang Hong and others are also very confused about Tao Qian's choice.

People often don't know how to cherish things that are easily obtained. But if they are obtained with difficulty, people often cherish them even more!

Tao Qian is really ignorant.!

Of course.

The reason why these people abused Tao Qian so much was not really because he gave up the city. It was because

Tao Qian gave in like this, which undoubtedly completely exposed Yangzhou to the Changshan Army and became a frontline position to block the Changshan Army.!

Not all of their counties in Yangzhou are on the other side of the Yangtze River. A lot of land in Huainan and Wu counties are on the other side of the Yangtze River.

After Xuzhou is gone, can the land of Yangzhou that borders Xuzhou still be able to hold on? ?!

They expressed no confidence!

Tao Qian was simply harming others and himself. Without scolding his eighteenth generation ancestors, they were already keeping their mouth shut!

"Gong Jin and Zijing, what should they do now?"Sun Jian sighed.

Not long ago, he was very confident, thinking that it would take another year and a half for Changshan's army to conquer Xuzhou and Yuzhou.

But the plan could not keep up with the changes. Unexpectedly, Xuzhou Tao Qian directly offered the city and surrendered, allowing Changshan King to surrender without spending a single soldier. Capture Xuzhou!

This world-shaking domineering power can only be achieved by Liu Chen, the king of Changshan, right?!

A piece of information from a personal visit to the frontline can shock the world's princes!!

"We cannot retreat blindly. We must fight the Changshan Army to truly find out the details of the opponent."

Zhou Yu thought deeply for a long time, and instead of panicking, he said with fighting spirit:"I will personally supervise the arrangements for this battle, please give the order, my lord!"

"I am willing to work together with Gong Jin!"Lu Su also raised his hands and said. Zhang Zhao and other advisers also raised their hands and echoed.

Those generals did not retreat, and each of them was full of fighting spirit. Although they were afraid of the momentum of Chang Shan's army, they were by no means the kind of losers who ran away from the battle!

Sun Jian felt deeply in his heart Satisfied!

His military generals and hundreds of thousands of troops, although not as good as the Changshan Army of King Changshan, are still a force that cannot be underestimated!

These are all the wealth of his Sun family!

"good!!! Sun

Jian was greatly encouraged, and he stood up and made the appointment directly:"Zhou Yu, I appoint you as the governor, commanding the three armies in battle, appointing generals and other matters!""

"Subordinates obey!"

……

This side of Fancheng, Jingzhou.

At the beginning, Liu Bei's advisor Xu Shu, Liu Biao's advisor Kuai Liang and others all believed that Xuzhou Tao Qian and Yuzhou Yuan Shu could hold off for a year and a half.

No matter how bad it is, it will still take a few months.

But who would have thought.

Tao Qian's surrender came so unexpectedly that they were completely horrified!!

Liu Bei originally planned to lead his army to support Yuan Shu. This was the letter Yuan Shu sent to him for help when Chang Shan's army was mobilized.

In this life, the alliance between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu is still a grasshopper on a rope. In such a critical moment, they will naturally consider rescue.

Just now.

Yanzhou and Xuzhou were in the hands of King Changshan, and Yuzhou was completely surrounded. Even if Liu Bei and Yuan Shu join forces, can they stop the Changshan Army's offensive?!

Others don't know.

But Liu Bei and Yuan Shu were defeated by Chang Shan's army from Jizhou and fled south to Yuzhou!

They have experienced the terrifying power of the Changshan Army firsthand!

At the beginning, Yuan Shao's army of more than 300,000, Liu Bei's Yellow Turban army of more than 200,000, and Yuan Shu's army of more than 100,000, formed a total of more than 600,000 troops.

Even this can't defeat Chang Shan's army. Now that Liu Bei and Yuan Shu join forces to resist, what's the use?!

But not rescuing Yuan Shu would be an unkind and unjust act, which would put Liu Bei in a dilemma!

Xu Shu sighed and said:"My lord, send a message to Yuan Shu, asking him to lead his troops to retreat to Nanyang in Jingzhou before King Changshan moves into Xuzhou!"

"Is this giving away the land of Yuzhou to others? Liu Bei felt helpless and sighed.

Xu Shu explained:

"If we stubbornly resist, the result will be a complete defeat. It is better to shrink the defense line, gather forces together, and wait for the moment of counterattack!

"Moreover, Yuan Shu was asked to give up the land of Yuzhou, which opened the door for Changshan's army to move south, directly targeting Yangzhou and Jingzhou.

"This will allow us to fight against the odds without any luck. It can also allow the two states of Jing and Yang to work together and fight against the enemy together!"

Xu Shu's words made Liu Bei suddenly realize it!

He nodded solemnly and said:"I will write a letter to Brother Qiu right now!"

The generals and advisers around him greatly admired Xu Shu!

In this situation, he could still face danger and plan for the future. This kind of strategic vision and psychological quality made them admire him!

However, in fact,

Xu Shu was also a little helpless!

If it had been the case back then. Liu Bei listened to what he said and moved directly to Yizhou. There would not be so many things at all.

When Yuan Shu asked for help, he could also be allowed to enter Sichuan to jointly attack Liu Zhang and completely capture Yizhou.

When the forces of Yizhou were integrated, he could use Yizhou to The development of this fertile land, coupled with the obstacles of natural dangers such as high mountains and ridges, makes it impossible for them to fight.

Unfortunately, now, they are passive in allowing Cao Cao to enter Sichuan smoothly!

However, even if Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness ruined this God-given opportunity, Xu Shu There are other good strategies in mind!

If Cao Cao and Liu Zhang fight and Liu Zhang is defeated, he may choose foreign aid. Liu Bei will still have a chance to enter Sichuan. Even if Liu Zhang can handle it, the snipe and the clam will fight for the fisherman's profit. They It is even more possible to reap the benefits of being a fisherman.

This is also another plot of Xu Shu!

It can be said that he is a top adviser with superb intelligence and strategy!

But now.

I thought I could stop Xuzhou Tao for a year and a half. Qian, he actually surrendered directly to the city, which completely disrupted Xu Shu's response!

At this moment, Xu Shu really had no way to deal with it and looked confused!

At this moment, the messenger hurriedly came to report:"Comment to the military advisor! The figure of Zhuge Liang appeared in the direction of Longzhong you asked me to observe!"

This made Xu Shu overjoyed!

His current abilities are limited and he can no longer support it. But if Zhuge Liang, the talented man of Crouching Dragon, can definitely break the situation!

He has told Zhuge Liang about the Longzhong thatched cottage, and Liu Bei went there twice in a row. , all happened to meet Zhuge Liang when he was out, but he didn’t meet him.

This time he finally got the exact news.

"My lord, Kong Ming is back. Go visit him immediately. You must be sincere and beg him to come out! Xu Shu said in surprise.

Liu Bei naturally heard what the messenger said, but he was a little nervous and said:

"Military Advisor, you are also a pillar of talent, but you can't do anything about it. Zhuge Kongming shouldn't be able to do it either, right? Now that we are surrounded on all sides, let’s forget it!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the side snorted coldly!

They went there twice in a row, but were rejected. This made the arrogant Guan Yu and the grumpy Zhang Fei a little unhappy!

Even their good impressions of Zhuge Liang were gone. there is none left

"My lord, this is wrong!"

Xu Shu persuaded and said:"At the beginning, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was attacked one after another, and he was even besieged on all sides many times, and almost escaped death.

"It is possible to make a comeback again because of the help of pillars such as Han Xin, Xiao He, and Zhang Liang. It is possible to survive dangers and conquer the world!

"Lord, can you remember what Gaozu said?——

"My husband can make plans in the tent, and he can win a battle thousands of miles away. I am not as good as the ovary.

"I am not as good as Xiao He in controlling the country, nurturing the people, providing food and supplies, and constantly supplying food.

"With an army of millions, we will win in battle and capture in attack. I am not as good as Han Xin.

"These three are all outstanding people. I can use them. This is why I conquer the world.

"Lord, in the eyes of my subordinates, Zhuge Kongming is such an outstanding person. If he helps, we will definitely be able to successfully break the situation!"

Xu Shu had a firm look on his face and even spoke with respect and admiration for Zhuge Liang. This kind of admiration made everyone even more moved! At this moment, they seemed to understand Xu Shu's approval!

If Zhuge Liang really has Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Han Xin With their talents, not only could they successfully break the situation, Liu Bei could even conquer the world!

This made the generals and advisers a little excited!

The unhappiness in Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's hearts also disappeared, and they repeatedly comforted Liu Bei, asking him to quickly set off for Longzhong Thatched Cottage. Avoid missing Zhuge Liang again!

Many people tried to comfort him, but Liu Bei had no choice but to bite the bullet and agreed:"In this case, I will go to Longzhong again!""

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he personally wrote a letter to Yuan Shu, asking him to retreat to Nanyang and make other plans.

Then he took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei directly and rode to Longzhong Thatched Cottage to meet Zhuge Liang!

Xu Shu watched Liu Guan and Zhang Yuan leave. , worrying about gains and losses in his heart, but with a kind of expectation, he said to himself:

"We must get Kong Mingqiu out of the mountain. Now in the whole world, only Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Young have a way to break the situation!"
