At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

In the seventh year of Jian'an, September 202 AD.

Liu Zhang swore an oath in Yufu, declaring that he would lead one hundred thousand elites to crusade against Liu Bei, the traitor of the Han Dynasty, and avenge Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou!

Officially sent troops to attack Jingzhou.

Liu Zhang appointed himself the President of the Eastern Expedition Army, and the troops were divided into two groups!

In the past, General Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao, the general who conquered the East, were the vanguards.

The vanguard 10,000 troops opened the way across the mountains, built bridges when they met the water, and led the army straight to Zigui.

Liu Zhang personally led the Chinese army and followed closely behind.

The water route Gan Ning served as the commander of the water army, led Zhou Tai, and Huang Quan led 20,000 water troops to march along the Yangtze River.

After leaving Wuxian Port, the water army immediately divided into two groups. On one side, Huang Quan led a 5,000 water army to advance together with Liu Zhang's Chinese army.

On the other route, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai personally led 15,000 sailors down the river.

The Gan Ning army marched so fast that they were almost rampaging on the Yangtze River!

The goal is very clear, before Liu Zhang reaches the vicinity of Yiling, completely dominate the line from Wuxian Port to Yiling.

If you meet Liu Bei's navy, you will immediately compete against each other and decide whether to live or die!

The fish's comeback campaign is huge, the flags cover the sky and the sun, and the warships stretch for hundreds of miles!

The Qin State's Eastern Expeditionary Army was as powerful as a broken bamboo, and Zigui was defeated on the same day.

Without stopping, Qin's army rushed to Yiling again.

For a time, there was a great shock between Jianghan!

The news quickly reached Liu Bei's army.

South County, Jiangling City.

Although Xiangyang was defeated, the commander's office in Nanjun did not move.

Currently the supreme commander of Jiangling City is Zhang Fei, but all military deployments are made by Xu Shu.

Since Liu Bei was deprived of all official positions by the Xuchang court, and the original owner of Jingzhou was Liu Biao, all positions in Liu Bei's army from top to bottom were illegal.

Liu Bei's Nanjun prefect was self-proclaimed, Zhang Fei's general who conquered captives was self-appointed, and Xu Shu's army division general was also self-appointed.

But it doesn't matter anymore. In the land of Jingzhou, no one can resist Liu Beijun for the time being.

In the Jiangling prefect's mansion, Zhang Fei was at the head, and Xu Shu was only at the bottom.

Inside the house are Liao Hua, Fu Kuang, Feng Xi, Zhang Nan, Deng Fang, Mi Fang, Xing Daorong, Shi Ren.

There are not only the elders, but also the Jingnan family, as well as the newly joined Nanjun family.

As for the civil servants, the gray-browed person is the leader, who is the new top aristocratic Nanjun Ma family.

The person with the white eyebrows is Ma Liang, one of the five permanent members of the Ma family, and then there are Xiang Lang, Xi Zhen and so on.

There are so many talents in the Nanjun Prefect's Mansion alone, which shows how many capable people there are under Liu Bei's command!

Compared to the previous excitement of capturing Jiangling, today's people all have a gloomy look on their faces.

The news that Liu Zhang personally led the army to conquer has already spread, and the vanguard army even broke through Zigui and went straight to Yiling!

After years of tempering, Zhang Fei's appearance is still rough and rough, but his personality is much calmer.

If he had started to scold Liu Zhang a few years ago, there is actually a look of vigilance in his eyes at this moment.

"Master Xu, Liu Zhang claims to lead an army of 100,000, and the visitors are extremely unkind. How should we meet the enemy?"

Of all the people in the room, only Xu Shu's expression was the calmest.

"General Zhang, Liu Zhang claims to have an army of 100,000. In my opinion, it must be a bluff!"

"If Liu Zhang could really mobilize an army of 100,000, why did Pang Tong lead a small army to attack and almost died in Yiling?"

Although Xu Shu didn't say that he was exhaustive, since he became a military adviser, he never made any omissions.

In particular, the design to annihilate Cai Mao this time can be said to fully demonstrate Xu Shu's talent.

Zhang Fei also admired Xu Shu because of this Jiangling battle.

Hearing Xu Shu's simple analysis of Liu Zhang at this moment, he felt much more at ease.

"Mr. Xu has a plan to defeat Liu Zhang?"

Zhang Fei looked at Xu Shu with a glint of expectation in his eyes.

For many years, Zhang Fei has never forgotten Liu Zhang's humiliation to their three brothers!

When Liu Bei was the shepherd of Xuzhou, Liu Zhang hadn't completely taken Yizhou yet!

However, Liu Bei's situation took a turn for the worse, and the three brothers got worse and worse.

Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, the princes who were wiped out by Cao Cao, beat Liu Bei until he fled.

On the other hand, Liu Zhang, with Yizhou as the foundation, took over the two states of Yongliang and Liangzhou in one go!

The gap between the two cannot even be described in words!

Fortunately, after receiving Zhuge Liang's allegiance, he made it to today step by step, until he completely took down the entire South County.

Zhang Fei is also looking forward to the beginning of the rise of the three brothers, and even more looking forward to being able to step on Liu Zhang!

It's a pity that Xu Shu didn't give Zhang Fei the answer he wanted.

"General Zhang, it is very difficult to defeat Liu Zhang with our current military strength!"

"To remain undefeated and drive Liu Zhang back to Yufu is our purpose."

At present, there is a total of 50,000 troops in the entire South County. These 50,000 people have to defend the three ports respectively in order to resist the sudden attack of hostile forces.

Xiangyang was guarded by Guan Ping, the son of Guan Yu, who led five thousand troops to guard Xinye Kuailiang and Huang Zu.

Wuling Port and Hanjin Port were garrisoned by 5,000 troops led by Mi Fang and Shi Ren respectively, to ensure that Jiang Xia and Zhou Yu could not suddenly attack Jiangling City.

That is to say, Xu Shu can mobilize only 35,000 soldiers who have just assembled outside Jiangling City.

Zhang Fei also understood that now is not the best time to compete with Liu Zhang, so he nodded regretfully.

"Mr. Xu, you arrange it, I will listen to you!"

"General Zhang, let the Lord and Military Advisor Zhuge know the situation here as soon as possible."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Shu did not give a good solution, but wanted to notify Liu Bei as soon as possible.

"Nanjun is the foundation of our army. If Nanjun is lost, my lord's efforts over the years will be in vain!"

"Nanjun leads in all directions. If there is no Nanjun, our army will be completely blocked in Jingnan."

Why didn't Liu Bei be notified of such an important matter?

The main reason is Zhang Fei!

"No, big brother and the others are fighting with Sun Quan at the most critical point. If this news spreads, it will definitely shake the morale of the army!"

Zhang Fei still maintained his previous point of view, and mobilized all forces in Nanjun to fight against Liu Zhang on his own, so as not to add pressure to Liu Bei in Yuzhang County.

Xu Shu's face was extremely melancholy, and he even sighed in his heart.

Although Zhuge Liang's trick of killing three birds with one stone is clever, Xu Shu actually opposed it.

The stride was too big, and the flames of war would spread to Yuzhang County, Yangzhou, and the teacher came out of nowhere, and Sun Quan would be offended.

Xu Shu once suggested changing the move of attacking Yuzhang County to Jiangxia County. Taking advantage of Zhou Yu's bloody battle with Huang Zu, he copied Zhou Yu's back route, took Jiangxia County in one fell swoop and occupied the six counties of Jingzhou!

But this proposal was opposed by Zhuge Liang. The reason is very simple. Liu Bei's navy is too weak. Once it encounters Zhou Yu's navy, it will not be able to fight at all.

This is also an undisputed fact, and Xu Shu did not argue in the end.

Coupled with Yiling's ambush against Pang Tong, the civil and military forces of the Liu Bei Group believed that at least they could deter the Eastern Army for a period of time, so that they would not dare to move lightly.

And Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Guan Yu personally led the army to flatten Yuzhang County and re-demarcate the land boundary with Sun Quan.

The accident happened to Liu Zhang...
