Liu Biao withdrew his troops to the southeast with a force of 100,000 from Jingzhou to support Jiangxia County. Li Jue and Guo Bang pursued him with an army of 50,000 from Liangzhou. Sun Ce also led an army of 30,000 to the northwest to resist Liu Biao.

In the end, a total of 180,000 troops from the three parties gathered in Yundu City in Jiangxia County.

Among them, Liu Biao's rescue of Jiangxia could not be concealed, so the army marched quickly with great fanfare and stationed in Yundu City that night.

Li Jue and Guo Si's Xiliang army secretly followed Jia Xu's suggestion and followed from a distance without showing their faces.

Liu Biao was eager to support Jiangxia, and the Liangzhou army had been staying in Deng County for the past few days, so he did not expect that the Xiliang army was already far behind him at this time.

Since Zhou Yu had guessed Liu Biao's movements and asked Sun Ce to lead his army to stop him, he naturally could not go there with great fanfare, but instead went quietly without telling Huang Zu.

So, on the night when Liu Biao's army rested in Yundu City, Sun Ce's 30,000 Jiangdong army and the 50,000 Liangzhou army led by Li Jue and Guo Si besieged Liu Biao in Yundu City.

Because Yundu City was not the final destination, Liu Biao did not arrange for the army to enter the city to rest, but instead set up camp outside Yundu City.

Early the next morning, when Liu Biao woke up and prepared to continue his march, he was surprised to find that his army was surrounded overnight.

In the front are Sun Ce's Jiangdong soldiers who are ready to go, and in the rear are Li Jue and Guo Si's Xiliang elites who are like wolves and tigers.

Li Jue and Guo Si were interested in Liu Biao's territory and troops, while Sun Ce was looking forward to winning his own head.

Although Liu Biao had 100,000 Jingzhou troops and horses, it was difficult to defeat Liangzhou's 50,000 elite troops. At this time, coupled with the 30,000 Jiangdong army, defeat was inevitable.

Liu Biao knew that there was no possibility of breaking through when facing Li Jue and Guo Si, so he set the direction of attack in the direction of Sun Ce's army in the southeast.

He originally thought that Sun Ce's men were few and Sun Ce was only thirteen years old, not strong enough to withstand his 100,000-strong army.

As long as he successfully breaks through Sun Ce's siege, he can escape to Jiangxia and rely on the city wall to defend the city, which can greatly reduce personnel losses.

However, Liu Biao still underestimated Sun Ce's ability.

Although Sun Ce had few troops, driven by his will for revenge, the Jiangdong army exploded with a combat effectiveness that was no less than that of the Xiliang army behind them.

Coupled with the four powerful generals Sun Ce, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and Han Dang taking the lead in the charge, as well as Zhou Yu's excellent command, Liu Biao had no chance of leading his army to break through.

At this time, Li Jue and Guo Bang from the rear also launched an attack on Jia Xu's suggestion.

The Jingzhou army, which was relatively the weakest, was quickly defeated under the attack of the two armies at the front and rear.

In the end, Liu Biao only escaped with the escort of dozens of cavalry. Almost all of the 100,000-strong army was wiped out, causing Liu Biao's vitality to be severely damaged.

While the four forces of Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Sun Ce, and Li Jue were fighting endlessly because of Xun Yu's clever plan, Liu Feng stayed safely in Jizhou, sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, and vigorously developed the strength of the three states under his command.

But Liu Feng himself is not a person who is willing to be lonely, especially after winning Qingzhou and Jizhou in a row some time ago, his ambitions have been amplified bit by bit.

Therefore, after two months of rest in Jizhou, Liu Feng once again started to think about fighting.

However, as the major princes are currently attacking each other and the forces in various places are complicated, it is no longer the Three Kingdoms era that he is familiar with, so every step requires careful planning.

Therefore, Liu Feng found Guo Jia and discussed the next battle plan with him.

Currently, the three major princes, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Lu Bu, have united to form a line of defense, hoping to stop Liu Feng from moving south.

However, with the strength of Liu Feng's current army, if the troops are united, they can completely crush this line of defense.

Therefore, Liu Feng said to Guo Jia:"Feng Xiao, now all the major princes are attacking each other. Although we have consolidated our power in Jizhou, the general trend of the world is like sailing against the current. If we do not advance, we will retreat. We cannot do nothing. Do it.

Otherwise, it is very likely to be surpassed by other forces.

Therefore, I decided to personally lead the army to attack. Even if I no longer expand the territory, I must first concentrate my forces to crush the defense line jointly deployed by Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Lu Bu.

If I keep If we let them block us in the northeast, I'm afraid that if we want to send troops quickly to complete any task in the future, we will have to waste time to break their defense line." After hearing Liu Feng's words, Guo Jia shook his head and said,"Why are you so anxious, my lord? , even if it is temporarily necessary to advance quickly, Jia is sure that we can quickly break through this line of defense.

But now the lord wants to concentrate his forces to break this line of defense, but it is not appropriate.

Mainly because our attack speed is too fast, one month In a short period of time, the two states of Qingzhou and Jizhou were captured continuously. Such an attack speed is rare in ancient and modern times.

The army has strong combat effectiveness and it is a good thing to capture the city quickly, but it can easily expose some shortcomings, that is, the foundation is unstable.

So The rapid conquest of these two states is like building two nine-story buildings overnight. Although the appearance looks like a normal building, the foundation of the building must not have been laid well. In this way, although the building People can still live in it, but after being exposed to wind and sun for a long time, this building will inevitably have various problems, and it may even collapse under the slightest external force.

This is the case in our Jizhou and Qingzhou, because they were taken down too quickly, and now there is no After eating it completely, the people's hearts in these two places are not yet completely stable.

The soldiers and people in the two states have not adapted to their new status. In addition, people will have nostalgia. Once someone from Cao Cao or Yuan Shao advocates, they will It is very likely to cause turmoil in the two places.

Therefore, Jia believes that we can take advantage of the gap between Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other princes who have not sent troops to us to calm the hearts of the two states first. At the same time, we can develop our own strength with peace of mind, which will be more It can paralyze all the princes."

After listening to Guo Jia's analysis, Liu Feng felt that it made sense, but heHe said with some reluctance:"What Feng Xiao said makes sense, but Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others are also developing their strength with peace of mind.

If they wait until they completely digest the Yangzhou and Yanzhou and other places they have acquired, the threat to us will be even greater Big."

Guo Jia said with a smile:"My lord, don't worry, they can develop, and we can also expand secretly.

Don't forget that Ma Teng is our ally, my lord can write to Ma Teng and ask him to go south to attack Yizhou."
