Chapter 246 244. Guo Jia: Of course it’s Jiangdong (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

Author: nonsense and gossip

In May, the weather is sunny and rainy.

The rice in Jingzhou is growing well and is thriving.

Whether it is aristocratic families, ordinary people, or tenants, they are all full of hope for this year.

The war situation in Yuzhang also reversed again. Gan Ning united with the aristocratic families in Yuzhang, cooperated internally and externally, and regained the city of Nanchang.

Guan Yu even chased the main force of Jiangdong's army until he drove them out of Yuzhang. Only then did Gan Ning free up his hands to clean up Jiangdong's east and south armies.

On the other side of Chaisang, Huo Jun and Huang Zhong also fought several tough battles with Sun Ce, each suffering injuries. Coupled with the situation of the Jiangdong Army in Yuzhang, the two sides had to temporarily suspend a truce.

The news spread to Jingzhou.

The reputations of Huo Jun, Gan Ning, Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, Liu Pan and others have risen to a higher level.

Then Liu Bei and Cai Mao went north to conquer Xuchang. Although they did not win the emperor, they did not lose any soldiers and brought tens of thousands of people back to Jingzhou. They were also called a victory.

For a time, Jingzhou's civil and martial arts seemed to have reached a new height.

…

Xuchang.

Cao Cao looked at all the news about Jingzhou on his desk with a serious expression.

On the side, Guo Jia ordered several pieces of Chu paper to be hung on the shelf, then picked up paper and pen and drew maps of various states at will.

"First, Jiangdong has sent troops since mid-March, with a total of 100,000 troops, divided into four groups..." Xun Yu said the information he had compiled, "Chai Sang, Sun Ce will lead 30,000 troops; Peng Ze, Zhou Yu will lead

Thirty thousand soldiers; Yushan...Guangchang each have 20,000 soldiers, among which the Chaisang and Pengze groups are mostly naval troops."

Guo Jia listened and marked on the map he had just drawn.

"In Jingzhou, Chaisang was garrisoned by Huo Jun with five thousand troops. Sun Ce attacked by force for a month. Later, Huang Zhong arrived with reinforcements from Jiangxia, and the two sides temporarily ceased fighting."

"Pengze, it took Zhou Yu ten days to capture it, but Gan Ning blocked it at Liling for more than half a month. Later, Guan Yu arrived with reinforcements from Changsha, and Zhou Yu turned around and captured Nanchang. He only defended the city for ten days before Gan Ning united with the city.

The family counterattacked...and were pursued all the way by Guan Yu."

"Yushan and Guangchang, the two Jiangdong armies did not make much achievements in the early stage. However, after Zhou Yu captured Nanchang, they successively captured three or four small counties in Yuzhang. Now, they are still in a stalemate with Yuzhang soldiers."

As soon as Xun Yu finished speaking, Guo Jia had marked all the contents.

For a moment, everyone in the hall... looked a little excited.

Even Cao Cao had to admit... the arrangement in Jingzhou was indeed appropriate.

Today's meeting is based on Xun Yu's suggestion to re-evaluate Jingzhou's strength.

Xun Yu continued, "Chaisang and Yuzhou are not the boundaries of Jingzhou. Huo Jun and Gan Ning were not famous a few years ago."

"Chai Sang is backed by Jiangxia. Huang Zu, the former governor of Jiangxia, was replaced by Liu Biao last year and replaced by Huang Zhong. Yuzhang is adjacent to Changsha, and Guan Yu was appointed governor of Changsha only last year."

"The fact that these people can appear in these places is inseparable from Huang Chu, who is known as the 'little gentleman'." Guo Jia smiled and sighed, "This Liu Biao... is really lucky."

Everyone agreed.

These people also have their own standards and methods to distinguish whether a person is a wise master. Obviously... Liu Biao is not a wise master in their hearts.

But now, Jingzhou is even stronger than them, and even has a tendency to equal Yuan Shao.

This has a close relationship with that young gentleman, or... the Huang family of Chu'an, and it's the same with Xiangyang Academy, winter wheat and summer rice, Chu Zhi...

"Let's talk about Liu Bei." Xun Yu did not participate in the discussion of these people, because regardless of whether Liu Biao was lucky or not, Jingzhou's current strength should not be underestimated.

Guo Jia naturally looked stern and picked up the pen again.

"Starting last year, Yuan Shao ordered Liu Bei to wander south of Xudu. The latter took in many Yellow Turban troops, and even contacted Liu Biao to send troops to Xuchang twice. Last year, he almost succeeded."

"Later Liu Biao asked Liu Bei to garrison troops to block Yang. By this year, Liu Bei had nearly 10,000 soldiers. Gongdu also raised troops to attack Runan, and then surrendered to Liu Bei."

"Last year, Wen He sent people to spread the benevolence of General Zuo in Xiangyang. Liu Biao became suspicious. However, in order to prove his innocence, Liu Bei not only returned Duyang to Liu Biao... but also took back several pieces of land from Ye County in the north of Nanyang County.

This place is directly to be stationed in Jingbei for Liu Biao, and Liu Biao is asked to send people to manage it and provide supplies and logistics."

Jia Xu nodded, "Liu Bei's approach is to use retreat to advance, which is extremely wonderful."

Cao Cao also agreed. If Liu Bei could come up with this trick, there must be someone capable behind him to find a solution for him. Maybe he has already recruited a good counselor. After all, Liu Bei had a high reputation in the battle of Xuchang last year.

A lot.

"I heard that there was a scribe named Xu Shu who voted for Liu Bei last year." Xun Yu continued to add.

Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and said, "What Wen Ruo means is that Liu Bei's idea of ​​retreating in order to advance."

"Maybe, maybe not." Xun Yu was not sure. Today's Liu Bei is no longer something they can manipulate at will.

In the past, when they inquired about information, they mostly inquired about information about Liu Biao rather than Liu Bei, but now, both of them should be their focus.

"So, Wen Ruo said that Liu Bei's strength also needs to be re-examined?" Cao Cao asked.

Xun Yu nodded, "Liu Bei's move of retreating into advancement will allow him to develop stably in Jingzhou for several years."

Cao Cao was silent.

Although he was victorious against Yuan Shao, the two men named Liu to the south were slowly becoming a serious nuisance.

Yuan Shao and Liu Biao had nothing to worry about, but Liu Bei... really worried him. He knew very well that once Liu Bei gained momentum, he would be even more difficult to deal with.

"The battle situation between Yuzhang and Chaisang shows that... Jiangdong alone cannot hold back Jingzhou." Xun Yu said again.

One sentence brought the atmosphere in the entire meeting hall to the lowest level, because this sentence was right.

After a while, Guo Jia laughed loudly, "Why are you so worried!"

"Following filial piety must lead to a good plan!" Seeing Guo Jia's expression, Cao Cao felt a lot more comfortable. At least, not everyone was pessimistic.

"Yuan Shao's main force has lost six or seven, and his strength is not as good as before. Once Yuan Shao is defeated, even if Jingzhou is difficult to deal with, what does the lord have to fear?" Guo Jia explained with a smile.

Cao Cao also laughed, of course this is the truth.

It's just... Jingzhou's side harassed him from time to time, but it really couldn't let him go to the north properly!

We must find some enemies for Jingzhou and find something to do.

"What Fengxiao said is absolutely true." Xun Yu said that what Guo Jia said is still the next development direction of their power group, "but Jingzhou still needs someone to restrain it."

"Of course...Jiang Dong." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"But it's just Jiangdong, it's hard to hold back Jingzhou."

"That's because...the target is not clear enough and the troops are too dispersed." Guo Jia explained, "If there were 100,000 troops in Jiangdong and they only attacked Chaisang, would they have marched straight into Jiangxia like before?"

Although Yuzhang County belongs to Yangzhou in name, is Yuzhang really that important?

No.

No.

On the contrary, Chaisang's strategic location...is more important.

Jiangdong took Chaisang back so that he could attack when advancing and defend when retreating. Therefore, Jiangdong's goal this time was too high, which led to the dispersion of troops and the failure of the plan.

What if someone reminds me?

Chapter one today.

Like the title, ask for various kinds.

This month we changed to a new department...Obstetrics and Gynecology.

There are still four weeks left in this month, and Xiaodao will have to work five night shifts...
Chapter completed!
