Liu Ke¡¯s army has arrived at Jiangling and marched directly to the city, monitoring the opponent¡¯s every move.
Sun Quan was still immersed in the joy of taking back Lexiang. When he suddenly heard the news, his expression suddenly changed.
"Liu Ke came so quickly? Gongjin, do you have any strategies to deal with it?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yu¡¯s face became solemn. He pondered for a long time before finally saying: ¡°My lord, Liu Ke is coming with the power of victory.
Morale is strong. If we were to confront the opponent head-on at this moment, our army would not have the advantage. In my opinion, it¡¯s better to stay away from the edge for now! "
Speaking of this countermeasure, Sun Quan's face became even more ugly.
Although Zhou Yu¡¯s words were not explicit, his intention was clearly to suggest that Sun Quan abandon Jiangling.
For Sun Quan, his army retreated again and again, from Xiangyang to Jiangling, and now they are still retreating.
He couldn¡¯t accept it in his heart no matter what.
So he couldn't help but look at Liu Bei on the other side, and saw Liu Bei sitting upright with a solemn face, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Mr. Xuande, I wonder if you have any good countermeasures?"
Originally Liu Bei was not prepared to speak, but now that Sun Quan had asked, he could not continue to sit idly by.
Liu Bei pondered for a moment and said, "Well, although Gong Jin's words may sound a bit hard to accept, they are quite reasonable.
Liu Ke¡¯s morale is so high that it would not be a shame to avoid his edge temporarily. Moreover, now that Lexiang has been taken back, it is better to cross the river directly.
When the time comes and the Yangtze River is blocked, no matter how powerful Liu Ke is, he will not pose much of a threat! "
Hearing what Liu Bei said, Sun Quan finally showed a helpless expression on his face.
Liu Bei can certainly say it so easily. After all, he is just a guest army who came to support, unlike Sun Quan.
Especially for Sun Quan, the land in Jingzhou was obtained with the hard work of his father and brothers, with swords and guns. How could he be willing to give up so easily?
But now that everyone has reached a consensus, Sun Quan cannot help but disagree.
Seeing that he was still struggling, Zhou Yu hurriedly said: "Lord, the so-called saving people and losing land means that both people and land will be saved. Only the vitality of Jingzhou can be preserved.
Only then can we have a chance to make a comeback. If Jingzhou's elites were exhausted under Jiangling City based solely on loyalty, then there would really be no hope for the entire Jingzhou!
"My lord, please don't hesitate any longer, make a quick decision to avoid chaos!" "
Under Zhou Yu¡¯s earnest urging, Sun Quan was finally persuaded.
There was an expression of determination on his face, and he frowned and said, "Oh! Well, just follow Gong Jin's words, abandon Jiangling, and cross the river south!"
With Sun Quan¡¯s approval, Zhou Yu finally showed a trace of relief on his face.
He then said: "Now that my lord has made a decision, we must discuss how to get rid of Liu Ke's entanglement and cross the river as soon as possible."
After Sun Quan made his decision, he finally stopped worrying about gains and losses and immediately asked, "Gong Jin, do you have a good plan?"
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "I have a plan, but I'd better check Duke Xuande's opinion first."
Zhou Yu is not throwing the ball to Liu Bei this time, but because abandoning the city and crossing south this time is more dangerous than before in Zhijiang.
If you cannot unify your thoughts with Liu Bei and fight side by side, there will be no possibility of success.
That¡¯s why Liu Bei needs to propose first, so that even if there is any loss later, the other party can¡¯t say anything. "
Liu Bei just proposed to abandon Jiangling, and now he is asked to propose follow-up countermeasures, and Liu Bei cannot refuse.
So, he thought about it and finally said: "Actually, the countermeasure is also very simple. Liu Ke has already demonstrated it to us before.
On that day, Liu Ke pretended to storm Zhijiang, but he built a plank road secretly to Chencang and sent Ling Tong to cross the river quietly to capture Lexiang.
¡°Then we can also follow the same pattern and pretend to hold on to Jiangling, but quietly send people to cross the river.
Given the importance of Jiangling, Liu Ke must have never imagined that we would give up so easily! "
Hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhou Yu nodded with satisfaction, indicating that he and the other party were thinking of getting together.
He then continued to add: "The intention of Mr. Xuande is exactly the same as mine. This plan is feasible, but the key to success depends on the degree of Jiangling's defense!
I intend to send General Yide and General Demou to garrison together, and the others will take the opportunity to cross south. I wonder what Xuande will do? "
Liu Bei heard this, but?There was immediate agreement.
Zhang Fei is brave and has a high status in the Yizhou army.
Although it is risky to use it to guard Jiangling, it is precisely because of this that it can avoid Liu Ke's doubts.
As for why the stronger Guan Yu is not arranged, it is because Guan Yu has strong water fighting ability.
Put him in the navy crossing south to guard against sudden obstacles, so that he can make full use of his talents.
Thinking of this, he turned back to look at Zhang Fei, his eyes filled with questions.
Zhang Fei instantly understood what the other party was thinking, stood up immediately, and spoke angrily.
¡°Brother, you don¡¯t have to worry about me. I just want to have a good fight with Liu Ke¡¯s army here, and taking on this task is just what I want.
¡°And having my second brother accompanying you on the journey to the south makes me feel at ease. Brother, don't worry about me! "
Seeing Zhang Fei express his position, Cheng Pu naturally stood up and said to Sun Quan: "My lord, I will listen to the arrangements of the governor.
Together with General Yide, we will defend Jiangling and cover the army's crossing of the river! "
After hearing this, Sun Quan finally felt a little relaxed on his face.
He stood up slowly and came to Cheng Pu and Zhang Fei with two wine glasses.
After handing the wine glasses to the hands of the two of them, Sun Quan said solemnly: "Okay! Then Xiao Ke will leave it to the two generals!
With you guarding Jiangling, it will be difficult for Liu Ke to move! "
Zhang Fei picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, and said with a high-spirited smile: "Hahaha, leave it to me, Lao Zhang, don't worry!"
Liu Ke¡¯s troops arrived at Jiangling City, but did not directly surround it.
Because although Sun Quan and Liu Bei returned here in defeat, their strength is still there.
Therefore, they stationed a large number of troops outside the city. If Liu Ke approached rashly, the opponent would wait for an opportunity to attack.
Therefore, Liu Ke's troops were stationed on a slope twenty miles west of the city, preparing to launch an attack on the city tomorrow.
But little did they know that that night Sun Quan had already discussed with Liu Bei and formulated a plan to cross south.
Before dawn, they quietly took the main force out of the city and rushed towards Jiangjin.
Because in order to prevent Liu Ke's surprise attack, the warships crossing the river are now docked at Jiangjin Ferry.
And the water on the Jiangjin side is relatively gentle, so there is no need to worry about Liu Ke detecting it and launching an attack, which is more conducive to crossing the river.
When the large army left Jiangling overnight, only Zhang Fei and Cheng Pu's troops were left in the huge city, with a total of less than 20,000 men garrisoned.
