The Jiangdong ship set out from Jianye, went upstream to Chaisang and stopped.

This place is the junction between Jiangxia and Jiangdong. If you go up along the river, it is Jiangxia County and you will definitely pass by Xiakou.

Guo Jia is now in a state of confrontation with Liu Bei although he has not officially declared war, so Lu Su, who is responsible for sending Guo Jia back, dare not order the fleet to go to Jiangling through Jiangxia, not because he is afraid that he will not be able to defeat Liu Bei, but because he is afraid that Liu Bei will overestimate himself and will kill himself.

Fortunately, the Taiping Army took the land from Jingling to Chaisang to pick up Guo Jia.

When Lu Su saw this scene, he sighed that Guo Jia was so precautionary, and even the landing point where Jiangdong sent him back was quite good.

Gan Ning led 10,000 silver-feathered flying cavalry, Xu Chu led 10,000 Wudang flying army, Gao Shun led 10,000 camp, and 30,000 soldiers watched the tower ship with great enthusiasm by the river.

As soon as he parted, Lu Su felt relieved. Guo Jia walked up to him and said solemnly: "Zijing, take care of your health."

"I'll have a good journey."

Farewell to Guo Jia by the river outside Chaisang, Lu Su immediately ordered the fleet to return to Jianye.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Lu Su looked into the northwest Xiakou and murmured: "Uncle Liu, don't do stupid things."

Guo Jia led Sun Shangxiang and Zhang Ren's guards into the Taiping Army, and then walked up to pay homage. Gan Ning Xu Chu Gaoshun three times entered.

Waving his hand casually, Guo Jia saw the carriage prepared by Gan Ning, turned his head and ordered Zhang Ren: "Let her go and ride a carriage, I will ride a horse."

After saying that, Guo Jia turned over a horse led by Gao Shun.

Sun Shangxiang hugged Sun Xiaohu without saying a word and got into the carriage.

The army set out, and 30,000 soldiers, together with 1,000 guards led by Zhang Ren and Sun Shangxiang's unique male and female guards set out together.

Riding his horse in front and facing the cold wind, Guo Jia looked at Gan Ning who was walking with him.

"Who arranged for you to come?"

Before going to Jiangdong, Guo Jia only ordered the dispatch to pick him up, and there was no detailed arrangement for whom he sent.

Gan Ning immediately said: "It was Mr. Wenhe who suggested that Mr. Ye make such arrangements."

Guo Jia nodded, not unexpectedly.

The camp kills enemies bravely, and the Yinling Flying Cavalry can both break through and quickly transmit information. Even when they are desperate, there are mountains in the southwest of Chaisang, and Wudang Flying Army can lead Guo Jia to open another way out from the mountains and forests.

The 30,000 people arranged in this way will be used to pick it up, and there will be no mistakes.

Guo Jia looked at the north thoughtfully and asked again: "What are Liu Bei's actions?"

"The movements of preparing for war are unknown."

Gan Ning's answer was obvious. Liu Bei was preparing for the war, but I don't know whether the competition would intercept Guo Jia halfway.

Even if Liu Bei led his army to fight, Gan Ning would only get the scout's investigation a few hours in advance.

Under the escort of the three generals, Guo Jia arrived at Jingling safely, joined forces with a hundred thousand troops before retreating back to Jiangling.

The unguarded Jiangling was not attacked by Cao Ren, Fancheng after the Taiping Army came out in full swing.

Cao Ren could not make the decision to attack the city and plunder the land. Even if the general was not in the foreign king's order, he would have to wait for the Taiping Army and Jiangdong to start a war. Even if the Taiping Army went to war with Liu Bei, Cao Ren would not risk attacking Jiangling. The reason is very simple. Before the Taiping Army would not suffer serious trauma, Cao Ren did not have enough troops to ensure the capture of Jiangling and defend Fancheng.

What made Cao Ren particularly afraid of was that he was afraid that this was Guo Jia's treacherous plan. He had 100,000 troops in Fancheng. If he distributed 30,000 to 50,000 to capture Jiangling, the Taiping Army turned around and surrounded and annihilated him, which was equivalent to dispersing the advantages of the concentrated forces himself.

Recently approaching Jiangling, Guo Jia led his army into the city. As soon as he walked to the government office, Pang Tong stepped forward and came to Guo Jia and said in a low voice: "Lord, all Liu Bei's troops in Jiangxia are withdrawn and his army is heading east."

This news surprised Guo Jia a little.

Toward east, toward east

Guo Jia suddenly turned his head and asked Pang Tong: "Did Zhuge Kongming really reject your rebellion?"

Pang Tong was stunned and nodded to confirm.

On that day, Zhuge Liang was captured by a straw boat by arrows. Pang Tong's rebellion against Zhuge Liang was indifferent.

Guo Jia walked towards the mansion, shook his head and wondered.

"It's strange. Zhuge Liang had taken Liu Bei a step forward in my favor. Otherwise, Zhuge Liang was forcing Sun Zhongmou to start a war with me, but this seemed to be the situation I expected. Finally, Zhuge Kongming made me puzzled."

Pang Tong instantly understood where Liu Bei's army had gone from Guo Jia's words, accelerated his pace and followed Guo Jia, and asked, "Lord, then Jiang Xia?"

Guo Jia laughed up at the throne.

"I agreed to lend it to Sun Zhongmou. Now that Liu Bei has run away, he will naturally return to Jiangdong. Don't worry, Sun Zhongmou will not want the meat at his doorstep."

After Sun Quan sent Guo Jia away, he immediately sent Liu Bei who came all the way to deliver a letter to Xiakou.

Guo Jia from Jiangxia County promised to lend it to Jiangdong, and now Sun Quan wants to sell someone to Liu Bei.

In fact, I want Liu Bei to be grateful to Jiangdong as a loyal watchdog.

As a result, after returning from the sending letter, a shocking news came.

Lu Su and Zhou Yu who returned to Jianye early were both present, but Sun Quan was furious and stood up angrily from the main position.

"What did you say? Liu Bei ran away? He captured Hefei! Where did Xiahou Shang die in Hefei?"

I don’t know the specific report and letters, but I just know the general idea.

Now, Hefei has changed ownership and is Liu Bei's territory.

During this period, Jiangdong has focused on dealing with the battle situation where Guo Jia swept across Jingzhou, but has ignored Hefei, north of the Yangtze River.

Sun Quan was very angry. He and Cao Cao had a series of battles in Hefei. Hefei was the strategic impetus for the eastern battlefield. It can be said that Jiangdong crossed the Yangtze River and entered a city that had to be taken north.

Without Hefei, even if the Jiangdong Army captured Xuzhou, it would have been easily cut off the ties between Jiangbei and Jiangnan by the occupied forces, and then encircled and suppressed them.

The sender of the letter walked out silently.

Sun Quan drew out his sword and waved his face with a ferocious look!

"Please calm down your anger, lord."

Zhou Yu was also angry, but Lu Su was calm.

The sharp sword was inserted on the low table, and Sun Quan's chest was undulating and his anger was unchanged.

"Stop the anger, calm the anger, Zijing, tell me, how can I calm the anger? You know the consequences of Liu Bei's actions on Jiangdong better than me!"

Lu Su sighed silently.

Liu Bei took this step and it was indeed unexpected.

If Zhuge Liang, who was good at calculating Cao Wei's troops to the slightest, gave Liu Bei ten thousand courage, he would not dare to lead his army to attack Hefei.

It can be said that Xiahou Shang had just obtained the military order from Cao Pi, the new Wei king of Yecheng, and withdrew his troops. In less than three days, the empty Hefei was captured by Liu Bei.

In fact, Lu Su, Zhou Yu and Sun Quan all knew it well.

Liu Bei stayed in Jiangxia, whether Guo Jia asked him to stay or Sun Quan lent Jiangxia to Liu Bei in the name of Jiangdong, and Liu Bei was caught between Jiangdong and Guo Jia, which was a dead end.

However, after capturing Hefei, the situation in front of Liu Bei suddenly became clear.

First, Liu Bei broke free from the cracks in which the two heroes of Jingzhou and Yangzhou coexisted. Secondly, although he was not strong enough, he seemed to be unable to achieve anything after conquering Hefei, but at least there was no crisis. Cao Wei could not send troops to wipe out Liu Bei, and Sun Quan from Jiangdong was even more unlikely to attack his allies. Liu Bei had room to breathe and planned for the future.

Zhou Yu looked grim and said to Sun Quan: "Please give an order from your lord that our army should quickly enter Jiangxia to prevent Guo Jia from remorse."

Sun Quan gritted his teeth with hatred with his eyes closed, and finally ordered Zhou Yu to lead his army to take over Jiang Xia.

Sun Quan hated Liu Bei very much.

The most wonderful thing about Liu Bei's step was to give Jiang Xia out.

Do you want Jiangdong?

If Jiangdong is not allowed, Guo Jia's troops will enter Jiangxia, and the confrontation in Jingzhou and Yangzhou will be quietly formed.

If Jiangdong wants, Jiangxia's troops will also confront the Taiping Army in Nanjun.

No matter what, after Liu Bei ran away, Jiangdong inevitably bordered Guo Jia's territory and quietly confronted each other.

In Sun Quan's view, instead of letting Guo Jia take over Jiangxia and burn the war on Jiangdong, it is better to take over Jiangxia County in Jiangdong. Even if the war is about to start, at least the six counties in Jiangdong will suffer first.

The most important thing is that from now on, Jiangdong will focus on guarding Guo Jia, and let Liu Bei rest assured in Hefei in disguise.

The agency planned and planned hard, but in the end he got married.

After Liu Bei conquered Hefei, Jiangdong quickly sent troops to Jiangxia.

The news of the fall of Hefei reached Yecheng. After Cao Pi saw it, he urgently recruited Sima Yi to discuss the matter.

Cao Pi, who became the queen of Wei, dared not slacken. Fortunately, what made him secretly relieved was that all the generals who led the troops wrote letters to support him in succession of the throne.

The civil servants who were at the center of the central government also stood on his side. At the biggest crisis of Cao Wei, Cao Pi stabilized the situation and overcome it.

After Sima Yi arrived, Cao Pi raised his hand expressionlessly and asked Sima Yi to read the information.

After Sima Yi read the battle report calmly, he was slightly shocked, but he was happy again.

He was shocked that he didn't expect that the joining party to conquer Hefei was Liu Bei. How could he kill him?

What I was happy about was that this situation was ten times better than he expected.

"Zhongda, the Sun-Liu alliance has captured Hefei. What do you think about this? Do you think about the troops from Wancheng or Luoyang being transferred to attack Liu Bei?"

Cao Pi now has a bit of aura of being arrogant without anger, but he is just creating aura, which is actually far from his father Cao Cao.

Sima Yi shook his head and smiled, disagreeing with Cao Pi's statement.

"The King of Wei, it was not the alliance between Sun and Liu, but Liu Bei captured Hefei. The King of Wei should not forget that Guo Jia had 50,000 cavalry under Ma Chao's command in Guanzhong and had no use, and Sili's defense could not be moved. Please imagine that if Liu Bei captured Hefei, could Sun Quan's troops still go north? South of the Yangtze River, although Sun Quan and Guo Jia married, both sides would definitely not trust each other easily, so Sun Quan's troops in Jiangdong should be guarded against Guo Jia, and Guo Jia should also be guarded against Sun Quan's sneak attack behind the scenes. The pressure of Fancheng suddenly decreased sharply, and Liu Bei had only two in Hefei.

What can he do with ten thousand soldiers? There are 100,000 troops in Fancheng to the west, 50,000 troops in Wancheng to the north, and 30,000 general Xiahou’s soldiers and horses in Xuchang to the north. The only thing that is slightly weak is Xuzhou. If the King of Wei is worried, transfer 30,000 troops in Fancheng to Xuchang, and then order Chen Yuanlong, the prefect of Guangling, to recruit new soldiers. As long as Guangling has 20,000 troops, it is difficult for Liu Bei to seize Xuzhou. Even if he takes it down, how many troops can he have 20,000 troops in his command be left? Then he will send troops to wipe out Liu Bei, which will be easy."

After hearing this, Cao Pi deeply agreed and acted according to what Sima Yi said.
