mtl008 Chapter 160
Chapter 160
The look on Zhou Yu’s face was no better than Sun Ce.
According to his original plan, Sun Ce should have captured the six counties of Jiangdong.
Occupying the two lands of Jiangdong and Huainan at the same time, although Sun Ce’s strength was still far behind Gu Yi.
But…… At least have the ability to protect themselves.
But now.
Gu Yi’s command not only has his own water army.
Moreover, the combat effectiveness does not look low.
It can be said that the development route that Zhou Yu originally formulated for Sun Ce has been completely cut off by Gu Yi.
Jiangdong, most likely, there is no relationship between him and Sun Ce.
Such a crisis gave Sun Ce a great sense of crisis.
After all.
He didn’t dare to guarantee that after the eldest brother Gu Yi killed Liu Bei, he would turn around and attack Huainan.
Now.
Sun Ce pinned his hopes on Zhou Yu.
I hope that Zhou Yu can think of a way to break the situation for him.
Zhou Yu frowned.
He just debuted, and he received a major psychological blow in Pengcheng some time ago.
Although it did not make him collapse immediately, it also left a lot of shadows in his heart.
At this moment, in the face of Sun Ce’s inquiry, Zhou Yu sighed:
“Bofu, except for the six counties of Koto.”
“The only place left where you can expand is Jingzhou. ”
“But that Liu Biao, although not enterprising enough,.”
“If you storm Jingzhou, I’m afraid it’s not a good strategy.”
Hearing what Zhou Yu said, the brilliance in Sun Ce’s eyes gradually dimmed down.
Jingzhou is different from the rest of Dahan.
Although Liu Biao has real power.
But it definitely can’t catch up with the real power in the hands of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others.
It is not so much that Jingzhou is ruled by Liu Biao.
Rather, it is better to say that Liu Biao and the Jingzhou family headed by the three families of “Cai Quanghuang” “rule together”.
But that’s why.
As a result, the relationship between the Jingzhou family and Liu Biao is very strong.
Historically, after Sun Ce captured Jiangdong, he immediately set his sights on attacking Jingzhou.
After Sun Ce’s death, Zhou Yu and Sun Quan also always took Jingzhou as their goal.
However.
Until the eve of the Battle of Chibi.
Zhou Yu and Sun Quan only captured a third of Jiangxia County.
Why is it so difficult for Jiangdong to fight Jingzhou?
Because the Jingzhou family and the ruler are both prosperous and detrimental.
Once there is a war in Jingzhou.
The whole of Jingzhou will remain united.
Basically, there will be no chain dropping.
But that’s why it is.
Liu Biao, the ruler’s personal will, could not guide the entire Jingzhou direction.
It’s like the interests of the group of future generations.
Although Liu Biao is still a major shareholder, he is not an absolute controlling shareholder.
The combined shares occupied by Cai Quanhuang and other families far exceed Liu Biao, a major shareholder.
Of course.
This is not to say that Liu Biao is a puppet.
In fact, Liu Biao still had some power in his hands, at least much more than the power in the hands of his son Liu Jun.
Therefore, Jingzhou did not formally surrender to Cao Cao until after Liu Biao’s death.
But when Cai Yao, Kuang Yue and others took Liu Biao’s son Liu Jun to surrender to Cao Cao.
Can Liu Cong resist?
Even if he had a heart of resistance in his heart, it would not help in the end.
Because the surrender of Cao Cao in the original history was the unanimous choice of the Jingzhou family.
Jingzhou’s unique ruling system doomed Liu Jun to obey the majority only a few and surrender to Cao Cao along with the Jingzhou family.
And now.
Sun Ce did not have the conditions to attract the Jingzhou family to surrender to him.
Other words.
He was not the slightest attraction to the Jingzhou family.
Under such circumstances, why should the Jingzhou family deal with him?
Therefore, if he wanted to attack Jingzhou, for Sun Ce, he could only gnaw hard.
After listening to Zhou Yu’s analysis, Sun Ce quickly shook his head and sighed:
“Gong Jin, the variables in attacking Jingzhou Liu Biao are too great.”
“Do we have any other options besides Liu Biao?”
Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
In fact, in his mind, there is one last option that has not been said.
I was afraid that after saying it, Sun Ce would be shocked on the spot.
Therefore, Zhou Yu chose to leave this option behind for the time being.
If the time is ripe, it is not too late to speak out about this option.
……
It was in stark contrast to the worries of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
Recently, Liu Biao’s little life can be said to be quite good.
Since Liu Biao became the pastor of Jingzhou.
Jingzhou itself has never encountered any war.
Compared with the wars in the north, the nine counties of Jingxiang live and work in peace and contentment.
The relationship between the Jingzhou family and Liu Biao also became increasingly stable.
In particular, Liu Biao’s wife Cai Shi recently gave birth to a pair of twins to Liu Biao.
So far, together with Liu Jun, Cai has given birth to three children for Liu Biao.
To know.
Liu is now in his fifties.
But you can still see such a high yield in Cai’s.
This is enough to boost Liu Biao’s confidence in some aspect of himself!
However.
Just when Liu Biao was about to further discuss the plan to create a man with Cai.
Cai Yao and Kuang Yue suddenly came to visit the prefecture pastoral mansion.
In the face of these two, Liu Biao naturally will not fail to meet.
Three major families in Jingzhou, Cai Quanhuang.
The Cai family’s person is Cai Yao, and the person who speaks to the Quang family is Kuang Yue.
Plus the Huang family’s wordsman, Jiang Xia, is too guarding Huang Zu.
These three people are second only to Liu Biao in Jingzhou.
In the land of Jingzhou, it can be called “under one person, above ten thousand people.” (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
After Cai Yao and Kuang Yue arrived, I saw that the expressions on their faces were quite rich.
Liu Biao couldn’t help but wonder.
Jingzhou has lived and worked in peace for too long, so long that it has not troubled the rulers.
But now, seeing the appearance of Cai Yao and Kuang Yue, I am afraid that things are not simple.
Sure enough.
Kuang Yue took the lead in speaking in a deep voice:
“Lord, Liu Xuande sent an envoy over.”
With just this sentence, Liu Biao’s eyes, which were already a little cloudy, suddenly became shrewd.
Liu Bei sent emissaries to Jingzhou.
The first to know the news.
It’s not him Liu Jingsheng, this Jingzhou pastor.
On the contrary, it was Kuang Yue and Cai Yao.
Huh, what does this say?
It shows that the target of the envoys sent by Liu Bei was not on Liu Biao’s body, but on Cai Yao and Kuang Yue.
Other words.
Liu Bei’s purpose was originally to persuade Cai Yao and Kuang Yue to achieve a certain goal.
And now.
Looking at Cai Yao and Kuang Yue’s appearance, it seemed that they had been slightly moved.
Thinking of this, Liu Biao raised his eyebrows slightly, quietly waiting for Cai Yao and Kuang Yue’s next 0…
Seeing this, Kuang Yue and Cai Yao looked at each other.
Then, the two asked Liu Biao in unison:
“Master, please also inform your subordinates, if Gu Linzhi really calms Jiangdong, how should you deal with yourself in the future?”
Hear this.
Liu Biao slowly stood up from his seat, sighed slightly, and said with a smile:
“What do you two think?”
“My Jingzhou is a place where war has been out for a long time.”
“If war can be avoided, it is the best.”
Let’s be honest.
Liu Biao did not want to be an enemy with Gu Yi.
Jingxiang Nine Counties, sounds good.
But actually?
Jingzhou is divided into two regions: Jingbei and Jingnan.
Jingbei is north of the Yangtze River, and if Gu Yi wants to attack Jingbei, he can start at any time.
Jingnan is south of the Yangtze River, but its population and prosperity are far less than Jingbei.
If he lost Jingbei, Liu Biao estimated that he would only be reduced to a prince of Shixie’s level.
Therefore.
Liu Biao has always insisted on paying tribute every year to the Han court controlled by Dong Zhuo.
After Gu Yi took over Dong Zhuo’s team, Liu Biao was even more attentive as always.
However, Liu Biao is also a prince after all.
Behind him, he must also represent the interests of the Jingzhou Family Group.
Jingzhou’s unique ruling system, coupled with Liu Biao’s lack of “absolute control” in his hands.
As a result, his personal will often needs to compromise with the collective interests of the Jingzhou family.
“Master, Liu Xuande wants to ally with us.”
“The messenger he sent informed us that Gu Linzhi is very likely to attack Jiangdong in the near future.”
“Liu Xuande hopes to get help from us.”
“If we can, I hope we can send the water army to the war and join forces with him to defeat Gu Linzhi.”
Kuang Yue’s words fell.
Liu Biao fell silent again.
Pinching Gu Yi…
Is this TM sure that he is not looking for death?
In fact, Liu Biao really didn’t want to fight with Gu Yi.
However, if Gu Yi calmed Jiangdong. 0.6
How should Jingzhou deal with itself in the future?
Surrender on the initiative?
Presumably, Gu Yi would accept his surrender.
But surrender means that many things will change.
The most obvious thing is that Liu Biao will lose his status as the ruler of Jingzhou.
The Jingzhou Family Group will also lose their deep-rooted influence in Jingzhou.
But if you kill Gu Yi…
Maybe everything will usher in a new change.
But you know, Lao Dong is still staying in Chang’an!
Although Lao Dong is retired, it does not mean that he is gone.
If something really happens to the baby grandson-in-law Gu Yi.
I’m afraid that Lao Dong will definitely quickly regain his position.
And the first thing after ascending to the throne is probably to send troops to attack Liu Biao!
After all.
Old Dong is an extremely protective existence.
If Liu Biao really dared to join forces with Liu Bei to deal with Gu Yi.
Old Dong will never be merciful.
Under the troops of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, I am afraid that the entire Jingbei will be destroyed!
When I think of it.
Liu Biao’s expression changed suddenly.
His sixth sense constantly advised him not to agree to an alliance with Liu Bei.
Otherwise, Jingzhou will definitely be in great trouble!
