Liu Zhang suddenly and publicly declared that he would lead an army of 100,000 to crusade against Jingzhou, and played the banner of avenging Liu Biao, completely catching the entire Jingzhou group by surprise.

Especially Liu Biao himself, who was robbed of Jingxiang's foundation, hated Liu Bei even more at this moment.

Wanting Liu Biao to speak out and reprimand Liu Zhang is simply a dream!

In desperation, Xu Shu could only urgently dispatch Nanjun troops to prepare for desperate resistance.

But the enemy is numerous and we are few, the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the enemy army occupies the great righteousness, the momentum is like a rainbow, who can guarantee that it will be able to defend?

"General Zhang, Lu Xun, the commander appointed by Sun Quan, is not easy to deal with. Our army is unpopular in Yuzhang County, and the stalemate may not lead to any results."

"If the main force in Yuzhang County can be withdrawn, Liu Zhang will be defeated, and then the western front will be truly stable!"

Zhang Fei frowned and fell into hesitation.

In his mind, he kept recalling that when his eldest brother Liu Bei left, he told him to do a big thing, and asked him to guard his home in Nanjun.

But just encountered some danger, should I let myself go to complain?

If you don't go, what if Nanjun is not guaranteed as Xu Shu said?

"Mr. Xu, I will send someone to tell my brother about the situation in Nanjun, but I will not propose to withdraw the troops."

"Okay! Let's do it!"

Xu Shu immediately nodded and agreed. He felt that maybe Zhuge Liang wanted to retreat a long time ago, and the reason for the stalemate was because there was no excuse to retreat.

He vowed to win Yuzhang, but he lost his troops and returned to Changsha in despair?

Even if Zhuge Liang is thick-skinned and able to save face, where will Liu Bei's old face go?

Now that Liu Zhang is leading the army to attack, the two can take advantage of the situation to negotiate peace with Sun Quan, and the whole army can withdraw to Changsha.

Just as Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Fei urged him anxiously.

"Mr. Xu, even if the eldest brother withdraws, it will take some time. How can we resist Liu Zhang?"

Xu Shu nodded slightly, looking towards the general.

How to block the enemy, Xu Shu has a good plan in his mind, but the current strength cannot guarantee that it will be foolproof.

Moreover, the 40,000 navy claimed by Liu Zhang was the most troublesome thing for Xu Shu.

"General Zhang Nan, *** Feng!"

Zhang Nan and Feng Xi immediately came out and bowed their hands.

"The end is here!"

These two were the Nanjun aristocrats who came to seek refuge when Liu Bei captured Jiangling. They were brave and learned water skills.

Originally, Liu Bei planned to appoint two people as the commander of the navy to train the navy, but the result has never been implemented in time.

"Two generals, you are all talented men from Jingzhou. Can you convince Cai Mao's soldiers who were captured by us to defect?"

Zhang Nan and Feng Xi looked at each other, then nodded heavily.

"Military commander, don't worry, the two of us will definitely fulfill our mission!"

The soldiers of Cai Mao's army are almost all from Nanjun near Xiangyang. Now that the whole Nanjun is in Liu Bei's hands, then the families of these soldiers must also belong to Liu Bei.

With the family as a threat, it will be extremely easy to say that the soldiers will defect.

Xu Shu had a flash of joy, but he did not expect the two to be so confident.

"After taking Xiangyang, we obtained 30 warships and more than 100 boats from the dock of the Jingzhou Navy."

"I would like to ask the two generals to surrender these soldiers, and then use these warships to form a navy, how about it?"

Zhang Nan and Feng Xi were even more overjoyed. Doesn't this mean that the two lead the army alone?

"Military commander, don't worry, the two of us have learned water warfare since childhood, and we will definitely be able to defeat Liu Zhang's navy!"

Xu Shu was extremely embarrassed, but forced a smile.

He didn't expect the two to defeat Liu Zhang, as long as they could form a stalemate, it would be great news!

As long as the problem of the water army is solved, the infantry will be easy, and you only need to rely on the terrain to stick to it!

"Okay, I'll assign combat missions next!"

As soon as Xu Shu said this, all the generals in the room pricked up their ears.

"As we all know, the key point between Yufu and Jiangling lies in Zigui and Yiling counties. This place is inherently dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a strategic point that our army must never lose!"

"However, Liu Zhang has a navy, which means that the two sides of the Yangtze River can be connected, so our army can't just focus on Jiangbei."

"Crossing the river from Zigui and crossing the remaining veins of Wushan, you can reach Jingmen and Xiaoting, and from here you can go directly to Yidao."

"Yi Dao is the top priority of our army. Once Liu Zhang occupies it, Yiling City will be in danger of being surrounded."

"So our army's defensive focus is on Yiling, Yidao, Jingmen, and Huya Mountain on the other side of Xiaoting."

Listening to Xu Shu's methodical analysis of the terrain here, Zhang Fei was relieved.

If these things fell on his head, he would have to blow up.

If Zhang Fei is the president, he will fight Liu Zhang directly with an army of 30,000!

"Mr. Xu, announce the mission! I, Zhang Fei, am willing to face Liu Zhang directly!"

Naturally, Xu Shu didn't have any objections. He just needed a fierce general like Zhang Fei to confront Liu Zhang head-on.

"Zhang Fei obeys the order!"

"I'm here!"

"I ordered you to lead an army of 10,000 to Yidao City. Immediately build fortifications after the army arrives. Be sure to stop Liu Zhang's army from Yidao!"

"I obey!"

After thinking about it, Xu Shu called out another person's name.

"General Deng Fang."

"The end is here!"

"You will be the deputy general of General Zhang Fei, and the two of you will fight against Liu Zhang's army together!"

"The general obeys orders!"

Xu Shu was worried that Zhang Fei would go alone, for fear that he would be impulsive and his anger would be taken advantage of by Liu Zhang.

"The military division is really caring!"

Zhang Fei was naturally very dissatisfied with this. Everyone knew that Deng Fang was rigid and handled everything according to the rules.

For Zhang Fei, who likes to be free and easy, this is a great torture.

Xu Shu didn't care whether Zhang Fei was willing or not, and turned to look at the generals, he wanted to choose the most suitable candidate.

In the end, Xu Shu's gaze settled on the two of them.

"General Fu Xun, General Liao Hua!"

"The end is here!"

Fu Xun and Liao Hua are both from Jingxiang. Although they didn't join Liu Bei's army for a long time, they were loyal.

Fu Xun is famous for his bravery, while Liao Hua is famous for his stability, and the two just form a complementary personality.

"General Liao Hua is the chief general, and General Fu Xun is the deputy general. They will lead an army of 10,000 troops to Yiling."

"The general obeys orders!"

"Remember, no matter what happens, as long as there is no military order from me, you must never leave the city!"

Liao Hua and Fu Xun didn't dare to disobey in the slightest, and quickly handed over their hands and said yes.

"Fu Kuang, Zhao Lei, Xing Daorong!"

The three rushed out together, Xing Daorong on the far right was the most conspicuous, his huge belly seemed to be able to hold Fu Kuang and Zhao Lei!

Xu Shu was extremely satisfied with Xing Daorong, who was the general he personally discovered when he was a counselor under Liu Qi.

"The three of you followed me into Huya Mountain and completely blocked Liu Zhang's army from the line of defense!"

"The general obeys orders!"

Before the appointment was over, Xu Shu went directly to the white-browed youth, who was also the most dazzling new star in the entire South County at the moment.

"Ji Chang, after I leave, Nanjun will be handed over to you!"

"Military division, don't worry!"
