He Qi raised troops in Shanyin and listed Sun Quan's ten major crimes. . The news reached Jingzhou, and Liu Bei immediately realized that the situation was not good. He Qi's revolt also indicates that the situation in Jiangdong is completely corrupt. Just imagine, after the fall of Kuaiji, Wu County will definitely be affected. Sun Quan only had the two counties of Danyang and Yuzhang in his hands, his reputation was damaged, and people inside were in panic. How could he resist Liu Chuang's tiger and wolf troops? "Shi Yuan, if Sun Quan loses to Liu Chuang, what should I do?" Liu Bei found Pang Tong and asked him about countermeasures. Obviously, Pang Tong did not expect that the situation in Jiangdong would deteriorate so quickly, let alone that there would be such a complicated internal situation in Jiangdong. Sun Quan plotted to kill Sun Ce? It sounds ridiculous at first, but if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem impossible. There is no family affection among the humane princes, and Sun Quan is so ambitious, how can he be willing to be under Sun Ce? In this case, it is not surprising that he murdered Sun Ce. But what happened was really strange. Liu Chuang's handwriting behind the scenes is obvious It is conceivable that Sun Quan's situation will inevitably become very embarrassing when He Qi sends troops. On the one hand, he wanted to resist Liu Chuang, and on the other hand, he wanted to appease the inside. Liu Chuang occupied Kuaiji, which was equivalent to landing east of Jiangdong. Once they merged with Liu Yong and swept through Kuaiji, their next target must be Wu County or Yuzhang. But Sun Quan had no room to retreat. Pang Tong pondered for a long time and then raised his head. "My lord, in the current situation, there are only two ways to go." "I would like to hear the details!" Pang Tong thought for a while and said solemnly: "War may also be surrender." Before Pang Tong could finish speaking, Liu Bei said loudly: "Shi Yuan didn't talk about surrender, he just said how to fight." Just kidding, how could he surrender to Liu Chuang? From the initial conflict between the two to the current situation, there is absolutely no possibility of relaxation between Liu Bei and Liu Chuang. If he surrenders, he will die. Liu Chuang would never let him go, so there was no need to consider this path at all. If we don¡¯t surrender, we will have to fight to the death. Pang Tong gritted his teeth and said softly: "The situation in Jiangdong, if there is no special reason, it may be difficult for Sun Quan to reverse it. The master's plan to seize the four counties of Jingnan has not yet been stabilized Although Liu Pan of Changsha expressed his support for the master, he is a son of the Liu Biao clan after all. Maybe we sincerely help. If the lord doesn't get to Jingzhou, there is no way he can compete with Liu Chuang. The so-called dangerous move, the lord now has no choice but to go all out to seize Jingnan and join forces with Liu Zhang in the west, but this is very dangerous, and it is not a good idea. This will cause the lord to fall into a place of eternal disaster." When Liu Bei heard this, tears flashed in his eyes. "Shi Yuan only needs to say how to destroy the cauldron and sink the boat. Bei has no way out now, so he can only fight to the death with that Chuang'er." Pang Tong hesitated and said softly: "There is Cao Cao in front of him, who is holding the emperor hostage to order the princes. The Lord wants to control Jingnan. , one person is needed to help, and that is Liu Jingzhou. As long as the lord can capture Liu Jingzhou, he can order Jing Xiang in the name of Liu Jingzhou, but once the lord fails, it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Jing Xiang. He will definitely hate his lord to the core." Liu Bei took a breath and stared at Pang Tong, speechless for a long time. But it has to be said that Pang Tong¡¯s strategy made him very excited. If we can't integrate the power of the entire Jingzhou, how can we fight against Liu Chuang? ¡°However, this is indeed very dangerous. As Pang Tong said, one mistake will lead to a situation of no return. Liu Bei has always been a decisive person, but this time, he hesitated "My lord, time is not waiting for me. If there is no other way out, I will not come up with this strategy. But my lord is unwilling to surrender, and Liu Chuang will not agree to it. If the lord surrenders, the only way out is to fight to the death. If Jiangdong can hold on for a while longer, there may be no chance when the lord completely controls Jingnan. But now it seems that Sun Quan may not be able to hold on for too long. Once Sun Quan is defeated, Liu Chuang will definitely send troops to Jingzhou. Liu Jingzhou has long wanted to surrender. When he hands over Jingzhou, how can the lord have a place to stay? " Why doesn't Liu Bei understand this? It's just that he is known for his benevolence and righteousness. He kidnapped Liu Biao. Liu Bei closed his eyes and made up his mind after a long time, "What Shi Yuan said is true. As things stand now, we can only make dangerous moves. How can a man stick to small details when he acts?" He looked at Pang Tong and said word by word. : "In this case, Jiangxia will ask Shi Yuan!" Although Liu Qi supports Liu Bei, it is on the basis of ensuring Liu Qi's interests. If Liu Bei touches Liu Qi's interests, he will never give up. If Liu Bei kidnaps Liu Biao, Liu Qi's chess piece will be useless. Even if he doesn't kill him, he can't be allowed to control Jiangxia again. "Similarly, there is also Liu Pan, who cannot be let go. Liu Bei is really desperate now and can only make up his mind to fight Liu Chuang to the death. ? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Liu Bei has been in Jingzhou for nearly five years, and of course it is impossible to remain contented. Although he appeared to be living under Liu Biao's tent on the surface, secretly he still managed a force that could not be ignored. It¡¯s just that before this, Liu Bei had never shown it. Now that it was a matter of life and death, he had no choice but to leave any backup options. In mid-August of the 11th year of Jian'an, just when the Battle of Jiangdong was about to end and the situation began to become clear, Pang Tong suddenly launched a force in Jiangxia and detained Liu Qi who was stationed in Xiling. At this time, Liu Qi was completely unprepared. He had always regarded Liu Bei as his good assistant. How could he have thought that this good assistant and uncle would suddenly turn against him? The military power of Jiangxia was completely controlled by Guan Yu. Guan Ping is also responsible for the defense of Xiling. Pang Tong almost effortlessly controlled Liu Qi without anyone noticing. A few days later, on the second day after Zhou Yu's death, Liu Biao hosted a banquet in Xiangyang. Unexpectedly, at the banquet, Yi Ji, an old member of the Shanyang tribe who had come to Jingzhou with Liu Biao, suddenly had a seizure, kidnapped Liu Biao at the banquet, and then quickly retreated to Fancheng. Liu Biao was kidnapped, which shocked the entire Jingzhou. No one expected that Yi Ji would do such an amazing thing, so that no one in Jingzhou could react in time. Fortunately, Cai Mao held military power and did not plunge Xiangyang into panic On the night when Yiji escaped from Xiangyang, Cai Mao sent someone to Wancheng to deliver a message, imploring Liu Chuang to send troops to help. Liu Chuang was also surprised when he got the news. "This must be a dangerous move by Liu Xuande's troops. He wants to kidnap Liu Jingzhou and take control of Jingzhou like Cao Sikong did when he served the emperor to command the princes." Fazheng immediately reacted and quickly stepped forward to suggest: "My Lord, we must not let him Liu Bei gets Liu Jingzhou, otherwise Jingzhou will be in chaos." Liu Chuang immediately woke up from the shock, and he was quite satisfied with Fazheng's reminder. To be honest, Liu Chuang did not want to use force to resolve Jingzhou affairs. The Battle of Jiangdong has not yet ended, and the Battle of Hanzhong has just ended. The treasury is empty and the people are exhausted. If Jingzhou can be resolved peacefully, everyone will be happy. Before that, all the arrangements Liu Chuang made were efforts to peacefully resolve the Jingzhou incident. But now, Liu Bei suddenly made a dangerous move, and it seemed that this confrontation was inevitable. Taking a deep breath, Liu Chuang immediately issued an order: "Pass my order, follow Huang Zhong and immediately march eastward to Green Forest Mountain to assist General Wenpin in dragging Guan Yu. Follow Zhao Yun as the vanguard and lead the Yanfeng Cavalry to set off immediately. Be sure to catch up." I want to hold him back and prevent Liu Jingzhou from falling into the hands of Liu Bei. I will personally lead the Fei Xiong Guard to follow me, and Ziwen will lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to accompany me to Jingzhou to rescue Liu Jingzhou (to be continued). . )
