Chapter 700 Liu Bei's Selfishness
Yunmeng Daze, Zhou Yu's army camp.
Unlike the Cao Cao camp, when the Alien Legion of the Sun Liu camp first entered the battle map, the lords could freely choose to be born in Yunmeng Daze, Chibi, and Dongting Lake.
Choose Yunmeng Daze, and if you enter the Jiangdong camp, you will be under Zhou Yu's command. In addition to Zhou Yu, a top talent, there are also generals such as Cheng Pu who can be subdued.
Headed by Di Chen, the Alien Legion along this route has a strength of around 220,000. In addition, well-known lords such as Shapojun and Piaolinghuan are all in this camp.
Those who choose Chibi are basically coastal lords, and the army under their command is mainly navy. The Alien Legion along this route is headed by Xiong Ba and Zhan Lang, with a strength of around 50,000.
As for those who choose Dongting Lake, there are two branch options. One is to choose to follow Huang Gai and enter the Yuanjiang River; the other is to choose to follow Liu Bei and attack Linxiang, the ruling place of Changsha against the Xiangjiang River.
In Liu Bei's camp, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang and others are all on the list.
The lords who chose Dongting Lake basically went to Liu Bei's camp, and their purpose was to subdue Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang, two super-popular players.
The Alien Legion on this route is headed by Lord Chunshen, including the Huanggai route, with a strength of around 80,000.
Ouyang Shuo didn't know the distribution of the Alien Army in Sun Liu's camp, otherwise, he wouldn't be afraid of Zhou Yu's army all the way in Yunmeng Daze.
The 220,000 alien army is not enough to pose too much threat to Jiangling City.
In the camp of the Chinese Army, Di Chen, as a representative of a different person, came to meet Zhou Yu, notified the changes in the battle contribution list, and at the same time clarified his speculation: Lu Su's army may have been killed.
After hearing this, Zhou Yu remained silent, with a sorrowful expression on his face.
"Are you sure about the arrangement on the Red Cliff?" Zhou Yu asked suddenly. The quick and easy defeat of Lu Su's army made Zhou Yu slightly shaken by the plan proposed by Xiongba and others.
Di Chen bit the bullet and replied, "It's probably not a big problem." Di Chen also felt that the ambush plan he made before was probably a little too confident. It's just that at this point, the arrow is already on the string, and it has to be launched.
Zhou Yu saw it and was noncommittal.
"Where is Jiangling City?" Zhou Yu asked again, talking nonsense.
Di Chen understood what Zhou Yu meant, but this time he was full of confidence: "No problem at all!"
"Okay!" Zhou Yu yelled, his majestic appearance bursting forth, "The army will continue to advance and take Jiangling straight to avenge Zijing, Ziming and the others."
"Yes!" Dichen clasped his fists.
"Get back!" Zhou Yu waved his hand, unable to hide his exhaustion.
It can be seen that the annihilation of Lu Su's army dealt a great blow to Zhou Yu. In the army, there are not only his colleague Lu Su, but also his favorite generals Lu Meng, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and so on.
Thinking that these generals might encounter unexpected events, Zhou Yu's heart felt like a knife was twisted.
"Yu, incompetent!"
In the empty tent, there was a low voice. The cold wind howled outside the tent, making it look even more desolate.
*************
Outside Linxiang City, Liu Bei's barracks.
Zhou Yu got the news, Liu Bei also received it, and the person who reported it was Chun Shenjun.
Liu Bei's first reaction was to recruit military adviser Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang listened to Chun Shenjun's report, without even thinking about it, he said directly: "My lord, after Lu Su's army is destroyed, Chibi may not be able to survive. The only solution now is to leave Linxiang immediately, and then join Huang Gai's army, and go together Chibi, join forces and completely defeat the enemy's Alien Legion."
Zhuge Liang is also very clear about Chibi's strategic position.
"Withdrawal?" Liu Bei listened, with some hesitation on his face.
Just yesterday, Changsha prefect Han Xuan sent someone to the barracks to express his intention to surrender.
What remains is nothing more than a negotiation of some details.
This also means that Changsha is already at your fingertips. To be honest, Liu Bei is a little bit reluctant to withdraw his troops at this time. He has lived a life of ups and downs, and he really longs to have a piece of land that is completely his own.
"That's right, withdraw the troops immediately." Zhuge Liang was determined.
"How can this work? Seeing that Changsha is about to be taken, it would be a waste of effort to withdraw the troops at this time! Withdrawing the troops? Absolutely not." It was Zhang Fei who spoke, his eyes widened.
Guan Yu followed Ying He: "Yes, military advisor, there is Zhou Yu on the Chibi side, so there should be no major problem. The most important thing right now is to win Changsha."
The two brothers are worthy of being Liu Bei's "good friends", and they immediately saw Liu Bei's thoughts, and followed suit.
Only Zhao Yun remained silent.
At this time, Zhuge Liang had just come out of the mountain, and he hadn't shown much ability in Liu Bei's group, so naturally he didn't get the sincere support of Guan and Zhang.
Therefore, they speak without any scruples.
After hearing this, Liu Bei pretended to be unhappy, and scolded with a sullen face: "Second brother, third brother, don't be rude, hurry up and apologize to the military adviser!"
"Brother!"
Zhang Fei was a little unhappy.
"If you don't apologize, don't recognize me as a big brother." Liu Bei took out his usual method again.
Sure enough, Zhang Fei became anxious all of a sudden. Like a child abandoned by his father, he bowed to Zhuge Liang and said, "Yide is reckless, and I hope the military master will forgive me!"
Zhuge Liang listened, and smiled indifferently: "Yide is upright, what's wrong? Haha!!"
In this way, the embarrassing atmosphere in the camp was slightly resolved.
"Military division, can we be more cautious about the withdrawal of troops. How about waiting a few more days, and dispatching troops immediately after occupying Changsha?" After going around and around, Liu Bei returned to the original argument.
Among the Three Kingdoms, in terms of thick skin, none other than Liu Xuande.
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart, knowing that it would be impossible to go against his lord's will, and said: "That's the only way to go, I will immediately arrange a meeting with Han Xuan, and try to finalize this matter as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'm here to serve as a military advisor!" Liu Bei was overjoyed.
Chun Shenjun did not speak from the beginning to the end, and Liu Bei wanted to delay, so he naturally wanted it, so he could take this opportunity to teach Xiongba and Zhanlang a lesson.
In this way, things are settled like this.
*************
Outside Linyuan City, Huang Gai's barracks.
Unlike Liu Bei's hesitation, as soon as Huang Gai got the news, without thinking about it, he immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops, preparing to give up Wuling County, which was at his fingertips.
The lord player who reported the news dissuaded him: "General, our army has less than 30,000 people. If you rush to Chibi, you may encounter the enemy fleet on the way. By then, I am afraid that the reinforcements will fail, and you will be attacked instead." No chance. General, please think twice."
Huang Gai frowned when he heard this.
In the just-concluded Battle of Chibi, Huang Gai was the main hero. The strategy of feigning fire attack was exactly what Huang Gai dedicated to Zhou Yu. As a veteran, Huang Gai is a meritorious veteran of the Jiangdong Group. He has served as Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Sun Quan for three generations.
As early as when Sun Jian, as a prince along the way, crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Huang Gai followed him around.
Therefore, there is no doubt about Huang Gai's loyalty to Jiangdong Group. However, Huang Gai is not a reckless person. Although he is worried about Chibi, he can still listen to other people's opinions.
"According to you, what should we do?" Huang Gai asked.
"My opinion is to unite with Liu Bei's army and rush to aid Chibi together. In this way, we don't have to worry about being defeated by the enemy one by one, and maybe we can cooperate with the Chibi defenders to attack from front to back." The lord suggested.
Those who can participate in the battle are all the best among the lords in China, and there is no one who is incompetent.
"You're right." Huang Gai nodded in agreement, "Just a little bit, is there enough time?"
Huang Gai has rich experience. From the information disclosed by the alien lord, it is not difficult to infer that the enemy fleet must have approached the mouth of the Han River, and it is not far from the Red Cliff.
On the contrary, they are still in the Dongting Lake area, farther than the enemy. As for Liu Bei's army, it is even further away. Counting the time spent on the road, it is really not optimistic.
The lord was confident, "General, there is no need to worry. The alien legion stationed in Chibi are all elite sailors from the main plane, and they have been prepared in advance. Therefore, I conclude that even if the enemy fleet arrives at Chibi ahead of us, it will definitely not be able to Take Chibi easily. Maybe they will fall again."
It has long been no secret that Xiong Ba and Zhan Lang are stationed in Chibi in Sun Liu's camp.
"Therefore, this matter must not be rushed. We need to make proper preparations and annihilate them in one fell swoop with absolute superiority in force." The lord finally concluded, speaking forcefully.
The lord's words finally convinced Huang Gai.
"Okay, just according to your words, I will write to Liu Bei now." Huang Gai did things simply.
"Then I'll take my leave first!"
With that said, the alien lord walked out of the tent with interest.
"Brother, that's all I can do for you." Facing the sky, the lord muttered to himself, with a trace of depression and bitterness in his words, as if there was something unspeakable.
If there are other people here, they will definitely recognize that this person is the siege lion.
Some unhappiness about Xunlong acupuncture point and Shanhai City has long been spread within the [Shanhai League]. Without exception, everyone stood on the side of Shanhai City, expressing their incomprehension of the unreasonable troubles of Xunlong's acupoints.
After all, before Ouyang Shuo went to sea, he specially summoned them and made a three-pronged agreement. What's more, there is a word beforehand, when Ouyang Shuo is not in the territory, Shanhai City will never intervene in the internal affairs of the members.
Therefore, Song Jia's refusal was just to implement Ouyang Shuo's decision before leaving.
Unexpectedly, the attitudes of the members deepened the resentment in Xunlong Dianxue's heart.
As a good friend of Xunlong Diancai, Siege Lion knows the cause and effect of this incident clearly. Although he sympathized with the fiasco of Xunlongdianxue on Yizhou Island, he did not blame Shanhaicheng.
Xunlong tapped his acupoints to complain to him, and he chose Sun Liu's camp in a fit of anger.
In desperation, the siege lion could only choose Sun Liu's camp along with him. One is to take the opportunity to comfort Xunlong's acupuncture point and appease his emotions. The second is to prevent Xunlong acupuncture point from doing anything irrational.
I never thought that Sun Liu's camp would have to choose a branch line. The two did not have a "tacit understanding", so they didn't expect to go together.
Based on Siege Lion's understanding of Xunlong's acupuncture point, Xunlong's acupuncture point is a task maniac, and what he likes most is not taking the usual path. Therefore, the greatest probability of Xunlong acupoint acupuncture should be to choose the most unpopular Huanggai branch line.
Unexpectedly, in the Huang Gai army, the siege lion did not see Xunlong's acupuncture point. In this way, his worry about Xunlong's acupoints was further deepened.
"Xunlong, please don't do anything stupid. Otherwise, you will be doomed." The siege lion sighed in his heart, his heart was extremely contradictory.
On one side is his elder brother whom he respects very much. Without Ouyang Shuo's support all the way, Black Lion City would not be where it is today. On the other side are his few good brothers and confidants in the game.
In this way, the siege lion is really in a dilemma.
