    [Updates have been suspended for nearly two months, and everything has to start again. Let¡¯s work hard together!  !  ¡¿ Xiangyang Half a year is not long, but it is enough for Liu Qi to prepare for the next battle.  After receiving the news that Cao Hong had been beheaded and the entire army of 20,000 tiger and leopard cavalry had been wiped out, Liu Qi had already vaguely felt that he would never give up at this time.  Cao Cao's next actions undoubtedly confirmed Liu Qi's guess. Cao Cao actually planned to send troops southward before the north was stabilized, and the target was Jingzhou.  This time Liu Qi came under pressure, and even the whole of Xiangyang became a little dull under this pressure.  In the past, Jingzhou¡¯s opponents were Jiangdong, Yizhou and Liangzhou.  Although Cao Cao was also an enemy at that time and had fought with Cao Bing, this time it was different.  Whether it is Jiangdong, Yizhou or Liangzhou, for Jingzhou, both sides are evenly matched. Even the stable Jingzhou is better in terms of soldiers, horses and talents. Even if Cao Cao occasionally sends soldiers and horses to prevent Jingzhou's expansion, the soldiers and horses will still be strong.  Not too much, it will have almost no impact on Jingzhou.  But this time it was different. Hundreds of thousands of troops went south. Even though Jingzhou was developing rapidly, it was still at an absolute disadvantage.  Liu Qi didn't have much confidence that Cao Cao would bring hundreds of thousands of troops from the north to the south this time.  In a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people, no matter who wins or loses, both sides will suffer in the end.  Cao Cao's north is not yet stable, and there are still many hidden dangers. It is even said that the army hastily marched southward, and the fortunes and disasters are unpredictable.  But the same is true for Jingzhou. Jingzhou has developed so fast in just two years. It can be said that the accumulation of more than ten years has been exhausted. If it were not for the support of several large granaries, I am afraid that Jingzhou would not have much food available at this time.  Even so, there is not much food and grass left in the several large granaries. If Zhuge Liang and others had not been good at planning in the past six months, I am afraid that they would not even be able to provide the food and grass needed for this war.  If Jingzhou can rest for a few more years, Liu Qi will be somewhat confident even against Cao Cao. At this time, even Liu Qi will be extremely nervous to start a war, not to mention the various aristocratic families in Jingzhou.  Hundreds of thousands of troops, all of whom were elite soldiers under Cao Cao, attacked with almost crushing force. For Jingzhou, which was still relatively stable, it was definitely an extraordinary disaster.  The newly occupied Liangzhou, Yizhou and other places may also be in turmoil as a result.  "My lord, Cao Cao's army has already set off. The 300,000-strong army is divided into three groups. One group goes directly to Hanzhong, the other group goes south to Wancheng, and the other group follows Cao Cao in the rear. It can be said that it is fierce and must be guarded against." In the study room.  , Zhuge Liang said with a slightly ugly look on his face, Xu Shu and Pang Tong also had slightly pale faces. They divided two hundred thousand troops into Wancheng and Hanzhong in two directions, and immediately grasped the lifeline of Jingzhou.  Wancheng and Hanzhong are considered the two most important places in Jingzhou. As long as these two places are still in Jingzhou's hands, even if Liangzhou falls, they can support the rise of Jingzhou.  But these two places are adjacent to the north and border with Cao Cao's forces, so they are naturally the first places for Cao Cao to attack.  However, Cao Cao attacked the two places with an army of 200,000, clearly intending to spread the war to the entire Hanzhong and Nanyang.  This is clearly forcing Jingzhou to fight decisively. Hanzhong and Nanyang are both places that Jingzhou must save.  "It is really vicious. Regardless of victory or defeat, Hanzhong and Nanyang will probably be reduced to ruins after this battle. It will be difficult for Jingzhou to recover its strength." Xu Shu shook his head. Once Hanzhong and Nanyang were reduced to ruins,  Jingzhou is almost in a state of semi-paralysis, and its power will be greatly reduced in a short period of time. The development of Cao Cao's power, which dominates the north, will completely surpass Jingzhou. By then, Jingzhou will really be defeated.  "Forcing the lord to fight a decisive battle as soon as the war begins, Cao Cao probably wants to decide it quickly." Pang Tong's eyes were gloomy, and he was extremely worried about Cao Cao's army: "And Cao Cao's 100,000 troops are sitting behind him, so he only needs to join the battle at the right time to decide  The victory or defeat of the war. In Hanzhong and Nanyang, our Jingzhou navy will also be suppressed and unable to exert its greatest advantage." As he spoke, the look of anger in his eyes became more and more intense. It was clear that Cao Cao had already suppressed Jingzhou's strength.  It is clear that Jingzhou will be at a disadvantage as soon as this battle begins.  "We really need to fight quickly. Cao Cao can't afford to delay this battle, and we in Jingzhou can't afford to delay it. Once the war continues, I'm afraid there will be more trouble in Jingzhou." Liu Qi said calmly: "Although Cao Cao can be regarded as dominating the north, the various states and counties cannot afford to delay it."  There are still forces within that want to kill Cao Cao. When Cao Cao is strong, these forces are not obvious, but once Cao Cao shows the slightest disadvantage, these forces will jump out and cause chaos. Although they will be suppressed quickly, they will have a great impact.  . And our Jingzhou is also unstable. Yizhou is still in turmoil. If Ma Chao is not in Liangzhou, the turmoil will only be greater. Therefore, the victory or defeat is related to the future of our Jingzhou. We can only win, not lose. " Zhuge Liang and others.  Everyone nodded in agreement, this battle is inevitable?No matter what the loss, we can only win but not lose.  Victory, there will be no more turmoil in Jingzhou within a few years, and there will be enough time to rest and recuperate.  If you fail, you will be doomed in one fell swoop.  "Lord, our Jingzhou can mobilize only one hundred thousand troops now. Although we are still at a disadvantage, we may not have no chance of victory." Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said: "The weather is favorable, the place and the people are favorable, I, Jingzhou, have the second largest number, Cao Cao has the right time, but  We may not be able to win. " "One hundred thousand?" Liu Qi murmured. Although Jingzhou has more than one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, apart from the soldiers and horses guarding all sides, there are only one hundred thousand that can be mobilized.  "My lord, although there are only one hundred thousand, the soldiers and horses of Yizhou and Liangzhou can be mobilized in times of emergency. Although it is a bit dangerous, we have to take the risk." Xu Shu frowned and said, Yizhou's soldiers  Needless to say, there are only 20,000 horses that can be put to use. However, Liangzhou's soldiers and horses are notoriously fierce, and they may be able to solve urgent needs in times of emergency.  "Who is leading Cao Cao's two armies?" Liu Qi frowned and asked. The 20,000 soldiers and horses in Yizhou still have to guard against the rebellion of the Southern Barbarians and cannot be easily moved. However, I am afraid that Cao Cao's soldiers and horses in Liangzhou have also been prepared. If  Failure to do so secretly may give Cao Cao an opportunity to take advantage of him.  "One route is led by Cao Cao's general Cao Ren, with Li Dian and Cao Chun as deputy generals, and Cheng Yu as strategist. The other route is led by generals Xia Houyuan, with Yu Jin, Xiahou Dun and others as deputy generals, and counselor Xun You as strategist. They are all famous generals under Cao Cao.  As for Le Jin, Xu Huang and others followed Cao Cao in the rear, while Xun Yu stayed behind in Xuchang," Jia Xu, who had been silent, said.  "Yeah." Liu Qi nodded and couldn't help but clenched his fists a little tighter. These people are all generals under Cao Cao. They are accustomed to fighting and have their own way of leading troops. Even if the enemy and we are equal, it is difficult to win, let alone want to win.  To win more with less.  "This battle is difficult. I want to order Wenpin as a general and Kongming as a military advisor to lead an army of 50,000 to Hanzhong. On the other side, Huang Zhong will be a general and Yuan Zhi will be a military advisor to go to Wancheng. As for Shi Yuan, this victory will be difficult.  It was expected that Liangzhou soldiers and horses would be mobilized to join the battle at any time, so Shiyuan immediately set off for Liangzhou, and Ma Chao and Zhang Jia were ready to provide support at any time." After some thought, Liu Qi immediately ordered a hundred thousand troops to be divided into two groups to resist Cao Cao.  "No." In the study, everyone bowed to accept the order.  "You should prepare as soon as possible and leave as soon as possible in case something changes." Liu Qi waved his hand to signal everyone to leave.
