Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning

Put your mind away.

Right now, the battle against Xiliang is certain to be won.

But there are still some difficulties along the way.

Unlike Xuchang in Jingzhou, Xiliang can't just be said to be easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Let’s talk about the climate first. Xiliang has always been cold, which is a great challenge for Cao Jun who lives in a mild climate in the Central Plains.

In addition, there are many mountains and deserts in Xiliang, which can be adapted to the cavalry, but it is extremely difficult for the infantry to march.

The Xiliang army has lived in Xiliang for a long time, and they are very familiar with the terrain and climate of Xiliang. If they fight in a roundabout way, it will be extremely difficult for Cao Jun.

It is because of these objective reasons why Cao Cao was so powerful before, but he has been slow to attack Xiliang who is right in front of his house.

Although Jingxiang and other Central Plains areas also have many natural dangers, and the army strength is much higher than that of Xiliang, but compared with Xiliang, it is easier to fight.

This battle must not be attacked by force, it needs to be outsmarted.

Why do you say that although this battle is difficult, it is sure to win.

When Ma Teng, Han Sui and the Xiliang army were conquering Xiliang, Bai Feng discovered a fatal flaw in them.

As long as this defect is infinitely magnified and used to attack Xiliang, the Xiliang army will inevitably be defeated slowly.

...

At this time, outside Jingzhou City, where Zhou Yu camped.

Although Zhou Yu's Jiangdong Army is ready to attack Jingzhou.

But now Zhou Yu is still a little worried.

After fighting the main force of Cao's army in Chibi for so long, Jiangdong's army has not slowed down yet.

At present, the wounded in the army have not been completely healed.

Zhou Yu originally wanted to find a hidden place to set up camp for a few days, and then he would go all out.

But now a person came, so Zhou Yu had to launch an offensive in advance.

This person is Lu Su.

"Gongjin, what do you want me to say?"

As soon as Lu Su saw Zhou Yu, he slapped his head and covered his face:

"Don't you know how serious the situation is about Da Qiao's secret letter before?"

"You still dare to lead an army to attack Jingzhou without authorization?"

"If Cao Cao's army goes all the way south at this time, approaching Jiangdong, what are you going to do?"

Zhou Yu frowned and said nothing, but poured a cup of tea and signaled Lu Su to sit down.

Lu Su was even more angry when he saw this, but he was indeed thirsty. He sat down and took a sip of tea and continued:

"The lord himself is somewhat dissatisfied with you, and it's not like you don't know it."

"This time, my lord wants me to find you, and I ordered you to return to Jiangdong as soon as possible, and recharge your batteries. Then Cao Cao will be prepared for another battle of Chibi."

"Before I waited for such a long time to prepare, set up a network of heaven and earth, took advantage of the natural danger, and was defeated by Cao Jun."

"Cao Jun already has experience in water warfare. If he comes again, the soldiers will not be rehabilitated. What will you do?!"

Facing Lu Su's barrage of questioning, Zhou Yu thought for a moment, then said:

"How come I don't know what Zijing said?"

"But it is precisely because of this that we have to switch from defense to offense and win Jingzhou."

"With the natural barrier of Jingzhou, only by guarding the thirty-six counties can we truly guard Jiangdong!"

"Even if Cao's army breaks through Jingzhou, we still have the natural danger of the Yangtze River. How can Cao's army continue to fight again and again?"

"Only when the rebel army is exhausted, can I, Jiangdong, have a chance to win!"

Lu Su shook his head and said in a low voice:

"You only think about fighting, but have you ever thought about the current situation between North Korea and China?"

"As a subject, you brought all the Jiangdong army outside the city of Jingzhou to attack the city, leaving the lord with no soldiers to use."

"Because of this matter, my lord has placed Mr. Sun Shao under house arrest, and also used various methods against some ministers who have always supported you."

"If you persist in your obsession, no one will be able to save you!"

"Follow me back to Jiangdong quickly, I will intercede for you, so that you and Mr. Sun Shao can be safe."

Having said that, Lu Su stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, and sighed softly:

"You really don't understand the heart of a lord."

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice:

"Zijing, don't try to persuade me any more. When I take Jingzhou down, I will go to the lord to confess my crime."

"Still guilty?"

Lu Su was about to die of anger, took a deep breath and continued:

"All along you have often acted out of place, and the lord has just been forbearing."

"The fact that what you did this time is really causing too much trouble. I tried hard to persuade you for a long time, but the lord is determined to let me take you back."

"Even if you win the attack on Jingzhou, so what?"

"You really don't understand the way of a monarch and his ministers!"

Lu Su has always been an extremely refined and easy-going person.

No matter how big the matter was, Lu Su handled it with equanimity.

But this time the situation is too bad, Zhou Yu is his good friend, Lu Su can't watch him continue to be so obsessed.

And this Jingzhou is not something that can be conquered by attacking, let alone other things, if the lord cuts off the food and grass, Zhou Yu will not be able to attack at all.

If you win, you will not escape felony if you return to court, let alone talk about defeat.

Zhou Yu didn't take it seriously, and said in a low voice:

"Zijing, let me ask you, do you know how many troops there are in Jingzhou?"

Lu Su narrowed his eyes and did not answer.

Zhou Yu continued:

"Including the City Defense Army, it's worth 40,000 people!"

"The average distribution reaches thirty-six counties, and each county only has a few thousand people!"

"Attacking Jingzhou at this time must be the best opportunity. If Cao Cao's army is approaching, it is simply impossible to win Jingzhou."

Just as Lu Su was about to say something, he was interrupted by Zhou Yu waving his hand:

"Do you know why I am marching to attack Jingzhou at this time?"

"Don't you think that I, Zhou Gongjin, are such a reckless person that just because Bai Feng scolded me a few words, I can't stand it and want to take revenge?"

Lu Su was startled when he heard this:

"Isn't that why?"

In Lu Su's view, Zhou Yu was seeking revenge. Zhou Yu's spirit had always been extremely high, and he couldn't help being insulted by Bai Feng like this.

Zhou Yu sneered:

"How could that be?"

"During this time, Cao Jun has no time to take care of Jingzhou. It is enough to send two generals, Cao Ren and Cao Chun, to defend the city!"

"Right now, Liu Bei is still wandering in the hinterland of Cao Cao. For Cao Cao, Liu Bei is the real worry."

"What's more, since the siege of Xuchang, Xiliang has already started a war against Cao Cao."

"If Liu Bei and the Xiliang army are not excluded, even if Cao Cao sends a large army to defend Jingzhou, it will be useless at all, and he will still have to bear the risk of being attacked by the enemy."

Speaking of this, Lu Su was only shocked!

In Lu Su's view, Zhou Yu at the moment is already a reckless man who has been dazzled by anger.

But after hearing this passage, Lu Su understood that Zhou Yu had already planned it!

"I also ask Zijing to go back and explain to the lord in detail."

Zhou Yu sighed and said:

"How come I don't know that the lord is already dissatisfied with me?"

"For Jiangdong's great cause, even if I, Zhou Yu, die, what can I do?"
