Ailang said angrily: "Old Jia, what you mean, will I accept the imperial edict of my father-in-law?"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "At least, you have to accept it on the surface, you can't make the population a reality!" He paused, "Apart from that, Sun Jian's army was frustrated in attacking Nanjun, and the attack on Jingzhou independently was not beneficial to us. Just stop and stop." Ailang said angrily: "Sun Jian is really useless. After fighting for so long, he can't defeat Nanjun! How fucking!" Jia Xu knew that this was just a lord complaining, so he didn't say anything.

At this time, a dusty officer rushed in and knelt down and reported, "General, the villain is a subordinate of Lord Chen Gong. Lord Chen Gong has sent him a letter of handwritten letter!" As he said that, he untied the bag on his back, untied the bag, took out the bamboo slip bag, and held it high with both hands.

Jia Xu walked over and took the bamboo slip bag and presented it to Ailang. Ailang waved his hand, "Old Jia, tell me, please look at it." Jia Xu shouted, untied the bamboo slip bag, took out a roll of bamboo slips, opened it and read it, frowned slightly, and said to Ailang: "Lord, Gongtai said in the letter that I received the news not long ago that the three Yuan coalition forces had been defeated by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was chasing the north and the battle of Youzhou was about to end."

Ailang was shocked and couldn't help but curse, "These three sons of Yuan Shao are too useless! When Yuan Shao died, they were simply unable to resist! I thought they could resist for at least half a year, so why did they collapse soon!?"

Jia Xu frowned and said, "The main reason for this is that Yuan Shao did not have a clear heir before him. All the three sons of the Yuan family were ambitious and unwilling to surrender. In this way, how can they fight against the enemy together? Before Bingzhou and northern Jizhou were lost, the three sons of the Yuan family joined forces to fight the enemy. Cao Cao's army could not capture for a long time for 600,000 yuan, and the battle situation was stalemate. Unfortunately, Cao Cao saw the thoughts of the three sons of the Yuan family, and took the initiative to stop the attack and retreat. As a result, the three sons of the Yuan family did.

As Cao Cao expected, as soon as the foreign enemies left, they formed a group. Yuan Tan was in a bad situation and actually took the initiative to join forces with Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shang. As a result, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shang and then defeated Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi. The three brothers of the Yuan family could have stabilized the front line, but because of the internal strife, the Yuan family's turmoil was finally completely in the hands of outsiders. I see that this time in Youzhou, the three sons of the Yuan family had an old problem and committed another crime, but Cao Cao seized the opportunity to win in one battle."

Ailang couldn't help but say, "If I raise such a son, I will strangle him to death as soon as possible, and I will be angry to death in the future!" Everyone laughed.

Jia Xu said: "Although Yuan is still surviving, I see that he will be wiped out by Cao Cao within a month or two." He paused, clasped his fists at Ailang and said: "Lord, I'm afraid we have to cancel the original plan and we must prepare to deal with Cao Cao's attack!"

Ailang frowned and looked depressed. Everyone seemed to mutter something in his mouth, but they didn't hear it clearly.

Ju Yi clasped his fists to Jia Xu and said, "Military advisor, I think after Cao Cao solved the Three Yuans, he should still solve Wuhuan. Wuhuan is not weak. If Cao Cao did not solve the Wuhuan problem first, he would be unable to move south with peace of mind." Jia Xu nodded. Ju Yi continued, "After Cao Cao solved the problem in the north, it will take some time to rest. Finally, he will take at least more than a year before he can go south. We should have time to conquer Jingzhou."

Jia Xu said: "General Ju Yi's judgment is very correct. However, the situation has changed now, and he has to cancel the previous plan to attack Jingzhou. I and Gongtai made this plan based on the fact that the Yuan family could withstand the attack of Cao's army. At that time, after we captured Jingzhou, we could concentrate on going west and south, and strive to seize Xichuan before the Cao army destroyed the Yuan family, and even defeat the Sun family to seize Jiangdong. If this could be done, we could eventually form a confrontation with Cao Cao in the north and south.

We will fight together! But now we don’t have so much time. It’s hard to say whether we can defeat Liu Biao at such a little time. Even if we can occupy Jingzhou, what will happen next? Our army is sandwiched between Cao’s army and Sun Jian’s army, and will be in the most unfavorable strategic situation. At that time, it will be very difficult for us to resist Cao Cao’s army, but there is still the Sun family stabbing him behind him! Under that situation, even if our army is brave and good at fighting, he may have to be defeated!"

The generals couldn't help but look at each other. Only then did they think of the seriousness of the problem and couldn't help but look pale and sweating.

Ailang asked: "What are Lao Chen and his friends' suggestions?"

Jia Xu said: "Public Taiwan and Tian Feng all believe that the fighter plane has been lost now, and advocates canceling the original plan, and recommends returning all the land currently occupied to Liu Biao, and the entire army will return to Lujiang."

Ailang couldn't help but stand up, paced back and forth in the hall, looking very irritable, and muttered: "Mom, how can I spit out the things I finally ate? This is not too cheap, that old guy Liu Biao!"

Jia Xu clasped his fists and said, "Lord, the situation has changed at present. We will soon face Cao Cao's large-scale attack. We must not stretch the front line too long, otherwise the war will be too unfavorable to us!"

Ailang paced back and forth, with a hesitation on his face, and finally stopped and said helplessly: "Fuck! My strength is still not strong enough! I want to expand my army!" Jia Xu was stunned for a moment and asked quickly: "Has the lord decided to retreat?" Ailang said angrily: "Retreat! Damn, this time it will be cheap!" Jia Xu smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Lord is wise!"

Ailang waved his hand and said angrily: "It's no wise! If he is really wise, can he still be so frustrated?"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "As the saying goes, a true hero is a real hero! The lord is a real hero!" Ailang was quite happy when he heard this and said, "Old Jia, you flatter me so well!" Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Jia Xu curled his smile and said, "Lord, since we are going to give up Xiling and Anlu, why don't we sell our favors to Liu Biao. We can send an envoy to Xiangyang, saying that the reason we attacked Xiling before was because Sun Jian spread rumors that he, Liu Biao, was preparing to raise an army to seize our Lujiang. We had no choice but to take the initiative to capture Xiling. Now we understand that this is Sun Jian's trick and express deep regret for the previous attack and capture of Xiling. Now we are willing to return all the land in Xiling and its surrounding areas to Liu Biao, hoping to live in peace with Liu Biao."

Ailang couldn't help laughing, and gave Jia Xu a thumbs up and said, "Old Jia, you are so sinister! Not only did you take the opportunity to reconcile with Liu Biaoyan, but you also fell into Sun Jian's hands! OK! It's so good to wait!"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise! As for the candidate for this mission, just choose Wang Dong!"

Ailang nodded, "Okay. Just do it." He walked to the top, sat down, and said to Jia Xu, "Old Jia, you should be responsible for the matter here. Anyway, there is no war, I will go back to Xuzhou first." Jia Xu clasped his fists and turned to Zhao Yun and others, "Zilong, Lao Ju, you can stay here for the time being and listen to Lao Jia's orders later." The two generals clasped their fists and turned to him.

Speaking of which, Liu Biao's confidence increased since he learned that Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to support him in Jingzhou. While dispatching troops, he was waiting for Cao Ren.

On this day, Liu Biao personally saw Liu Bei off and returned to the mansion. As soon as he came back, Kuai Yue immediately came up and clasped his fists happily and said, "Good news! Lord! Lu Bu's messenger is here!"

Liu Biao was stunned and asked angrily: "What did Lu Bu send an envoy to do?" Kuai Yue smiled and said, "Lu Bu seems to be intentional about reconciliation with his lord!" Liu Biao was overjoyed, but then proudly said, "It must be that Lu Bu knew that the Prime Minister's army was coming and did not dare to fight again, so he hurriedly asked for reconciliation!" Kuai Liang, who was beside him, hurriedly said, "My lord, since the other party's envoy has arrived, summon him immediately!" Liu Biao nodded and said to Kuai Yue: "Everyone, go and bring Lu Bu's envoy to me." Kuai Yue clasped his fists and ran away quickly.

Not long after, Lu Bu's envoy Wang Dong appeared in the hall, saw Liu Biao, and bowed, "General Lu Bu's envoy Wang Dong met the governor!"

Liu Biao picked it up at this time, snorted, and said, "Lu Bu invaded my territory, why are you sending you to do?"

Wang Dong was well-educated. Facing the other party's very unkind attitude, he was not angry. He clasped his fists and said, "My general felt that he had misunderstood the governor, so he sent the subordinate to explain to the governor! However, I saw that the governor did not seem to want to listen to the explanation of the general, so he might as well kill the subordinate! The subordinate was too lazy to talk about this!" Liu Biao did not expect that the other party would say this, and he felt a little at a loss and couldn't help but look at Kuai Liang beside him.

Kuai Liang said: "The messenger must have misunderstood. My lord has always been a humble and gentleman. How could he not listen to others? I wonder if General Lu Bu has any misunderstandings to explain to my lord?"

Wang Dong looked at Liu Biao and shouted: "My general received a report from Sun Jian and learned that the governor wanted to gather a large army to capture my Lujiang! My general was already very angry at the governor's previous rebellion and sent troops to attack Lujiang. Now, when he heard that the governor wanted to plot against me Lujiang again, he was furious, so he personally led the elite troops to trample Jingzhou! After a battle, he went to Xiling, and then the troops were on the river and the tigers looked at Jingzhou. The officers and soldiers of Jingzhou were like flocks of sheep under the claws of tigers and wolfs.

It is simply vulnerable to the defeat! At this time, it is only a matter of time before our general wants to flatten Xiangyang in one fell swoop!" Liu Biao and others changed their faces, and they were shocked and angry. Kuai Liang couldn't help but retort: ​​"Mr. Wang doesn't have to brag about himself! My Jingzhou army is not made of paper, and it is not easy for Lu Bu to attack my Xiangyang! Now the Prime Minister's 80,000 army is about to enter Jingzhou. No matter how arrogant Lu Bu is, he has to restrain himself!"
