Three Kingdoms: Hegemony System

Since Cao Cao has decided to raise troops, the soldiers and horses will naturally gather to the front line one after another, and such a large-scale mobilization of troops and horses will certainly not escape the eyes of Liu Jue's spies.

At the beginning of July, Liu Jue received news from the spies that Cao Cao had raised troops.

"It's finally here!" A trace of nervousness and excitement flashed in Liu Jue's eyes, as long as he won this battle, he would have enough time to dominate the south of the Yangtze River.

Liu Jue did not delay too much, and immediately sent someone to call all his advisers and generals to Xiangyang, ready to discuss how to deal with Cao Cao.

Three days later, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Fang Xuanling and other advisers, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Wen Ping, Wei Yan, Xue Rengui, Yang Jiye, Tai Shici, Qin Qiong and others were all present.

Liu Jue glanced around at everyone, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, news has come from the spies in the north that Cao Cao has begun to mobilize troops and horses to Nanyang on a large scale, and it seems that he will soon go south. "

Everyone's faces changed, but they didn't expect Cao Cao to raise troops and go south so quickly, only a few people such as Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang did not show surprise.

Zhuge Liang opened his mouth and said: "My lord, since Cao Thief is about to go south, we will act according to the original plan and rely on the Yangtze River to repel Cao Cao. "

When Wei Yan, Huang Zhong and others heard this, they couldn't help but suddenly realize that the lord had already guessed that Cao Cao was going south, so it was no wonder that we stepped up the training of soldiers and horses.

Liu Jue nodded, and said to Huang Zhong and the others: "This time Cao Cao went south, it is estimated that there are more than 100,000 people, aiming to wipe out me and Sun Quan. "

"The last general will fight to the death!" Huang Zhong and the other generals said in unison.

"General Huang Zhong, you continue to guard Nanchang City and guard against Jiangdong. Liu Jue said slowly.

"Whew!" Huang Zhong promised, and then said suspiciously: "Lord, this time Cao Cao's army is going south, we should ally with Sun Quan, why do we have to guard against them?"

Liu Jue smiled slightly: "The alliance is definitely wanted, but it should be guarded against, it is still necessary to take precautions, besides, this time the main battlefield will be in our Jingzhou territory, I am confident that Cao Cao will be repelled, as long as Sun Quan does not take the opportunity to make trouble." "

"The Admiral understood. Huang Zhong nodded.

"Xingba, you lead Deng Long, Chen Zhi and others, and lead 30,000 sailors to garrison Shaxian, Xiakou, Wuchang and other places, and Chaisang will be handed over to Su Fei to guard. Liu Jue ordered Gan Ning again.

"The last general commands!" Gan Ning replied loudly.

"Yang Jiye and Xue Rengui, the two of you will continue to stay in Jiangling and Gong'an, while Wei Yan will lead the army to garrison the other side of Jiangling to prevent Cao Cao from crossing the river from here. Liu Jue continued.

"Wow!" Wei Yan, Xue Rengui, and Yang Jiye agreed in unison.

"Wen Ping will continue to stay in Fancheng, Tai Shici and Qin Qiong will stay in Xiangyang with me, and when Cao Cao's army arrives, we will adapt to the situation. "

Liu Jue's eyes were scorching, he looked at everyone and said: "This time Cao Cao is aggressive, we must beat him and make him dare not go south within ten years." "

"Wow!" the crowd replied with a loud voice, full of determination to win.

At this time, Pang Tong said: "Lord, do you want to tell Liu Bei of Wancheng about Cao Cao's southward journey?"

Liu Jue shook his head and said, "Don't tell Liu Bei yet, if Liu Bei knows, he will definitely abandon the city and flee as soon as possible, let him stand up to the front first." "

Liu Bei's other skills are not good, but his escape skills are first-class, if he knows that Cao Cao led an army of more than 100,000 to the south, he is afraid that he will run faster than anyone else.

Everyone nodded, apparently having no opinion on this.

......

In July of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao raised 180,000 troops and went south to conquer Jingzhou and Jiangdong.

Whether it is Zhang Liao, Yu Ban, or Xu Huang and Zhang He, they are all the best under Cao Cao's account, and the soldiers and horses led by them are extremely elite, and they are not half a point weaker than Cao Cao's headquarters.

Cao Cao's personally commanded tiger and leopard cavalry, is a rare sharp in the world, the battle of White Wolf Mountain, the tiger and leopard cavalry broke the Wuhuan army, and established a great feat.

Cao Cao led the army south, which was naturally very secretive, and it was impossible to publicize it with great fanfare, but Liu Bei, who was in Wancheng, still noticed the increase in soldiers and horses in Ye County.

At this time, Liu Bei did not expect that Cao Cao would lead the army south, thinking that Zhang Liao and Yu Ban would come to attack Wancheng again.

Liu Bei suddenly became nervous, and personally led an army of 15,000 to fight with Guan Yu and Zhao Yuntun, leaving only Zhang Fei, Jian Yong and others to stay in Wancheng.

At this time, Liu Bei continued to recruit troops, and there was a feeling of being reckless, and the number of troops at this time had increased to 20,000.

Bowangcheng is less than a day's distance from Ye County, and Liu Bei sent a large number of spies to Ye County to investigate the truth according to his previous habits.

Liu Bei, this man who has been in the world for decades, almost fifty years old before he was stationed in Wancheng, and there is a place to live, he is full of confidence at this moment.

Although Wancheng and even Nanyang are an empty shell by Liu Jue, it is much better than the small city of Xinye.

The first few times Liu Bei beat away Zhang Liao and Yu Ban, this time he is also full of confidence, after all, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, these fierce generals definitely do not belong to Zhang Liao and Yu Ban.

In the evening, Liu Bei was in the county government, set up a small banquet, and had a small gathering with Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Sun Qian and others.

At this moment, the guards outside walked in and reported to Liu Beiyu: "General Qiyu, there are spies outside who have come to report the military situation." "

Liu Jue beckoned and said, "Let him come in." "

"Whoa!" the guard turned and walked out.

The next moment, a spy walked into the hall in a hurry, and bowed to Liu Bei: "General, the big thing is not good, there are a large number of Cao troops gathered in Ye County, and I am afraid that there will be no less than 100,000 people." "

As soon as the spies' words came out, not only Liu Bei, but even Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others also changed their faces, and Sun Qian, who was raising a glass of wine, squirted out a mouthful of wine on the spot.

Liu Bei stood up suddenly, knocked down even the wine bottle on the table, stared at the spy deadly, and asked word by word: "There are 100,000 Cao troops gathered in Ye County, is this information true?"

The spy hurriedly said: "General, the little ones don't dare to lie about the military situation! The Cao army camp in the Yexian area is more than ten miles long, but I am afraid that there are more than 100,000 troops. "

Liu Bei suddenly gasped, shivered violently, cold sweat broke out, and soon his back was wet, even his forehead was covered with sweat, and his face became a little pale.

"100,000 troops? Could it be that Cao Cao personally went south?" Liu Bei could no longer be calm at this moment, if it was really Cao Cao who waved his army south, his 20,000 horses were really not enough.

When the edict occurred, Cao Cao personally went east to conquer Liu Bei, Liu Bei was defeated, and fled to Yuan Shao in embarrassment, and later was defeated by Cao Cao, so he had to go south to take refuge in Liu Biao.

The past is vivid, so when Liu Bei heard that Cao's army had 100,000 people, he was afraid that Cao Cao would come to conquer him in person.

"You can bring a few more people to investigate, and I want to know the exact situation. After Liu Bei calmed down a little, he immediately gave an order.

"Whoa!" the spy answered, and hurriedly turned and went out.

Liu Bei sat back in his position and wiped the sweat from his forehead, only to find that his back was already soaked, and there was no longer the relaxed atmosphere just now in the hall at this time.
