Chapter 67: Forget the battle will lead to danger

Liu Biao's army was eyeing the west side of Jianping, which affected the entire Yizhou, and its influence covered the battle of Guanzhong and Guo Jia's rule.

In every war, many princes watching opera around the battlefield could play an important role. They were variables and unexpected people who changed the situation.

Due to Jingzhou's geographical location, Liu Biao could never be an ignored prince.

He can now beat Yuan Shao, deadly.

He can also hit Guo Jia, which is also fatal.

This is Liu's status that is enough to reverse the situation and change the world situation.

But it shouldn't be absolutely necessary. Liu Biao shouldn't help each other. Squaring troops to build Pingxi was Liu Biao's generation to Yuan Shao, and it was also a measure to shock Guo Jia and make it difficult for Guo Jia.

It can't be called a deception, but it's a bit difficult to deal with.

Yong'an Camp in Badong

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are working diligently here, training hard and managing the army rigorously.

Ten years of hard work.

Guo Jia then acted, neither making up for military force nor losing his worries.

If you are wary, you will die; if you forget to fight, you will be in danger.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin have indeed had no wars to fight over the years, but it does not mean that they have no sense of crisis.

Now, Zhang Baiqi is in Hanping County not far southwest of them, and Liu Biao's army is near the border between Badong County and Jianping County.

What should they do?

Should we continue to guard against the entry of Liu Biao's army or lead our army to suppress Zhang Baiqi's rebellion?

They couldn't make the decision, so they had to ask Guo Jia for instructions.

Guo Jia gave them an unexpected military order.

A military order that no one in the world would have expected.

Fight Jingzhou

Zhou Tai was stunned when he looked at the military order in the coach's tent.

Jiang Qin leaned over and looked at her head and started reading.

"Fight to the city of Xiangyang within one month? Wherever you pass, you will defend the city without any division of troops..."

Jiang Qin stared at Zhou Tai in a daze, wanting to see what his friends reacted.

Anyway, he was really shocked.

He took 20,000 troops to fight Huang Zu, who had 50,000 troops, and then rushed to Xiangyang, where there were 50,000 defenders.

Is the lord crazy or is he looking at him?

Zhou Tai confirmed that it was Guo Jia's seal and Guo Jia's handwritten name signing before he could believe it.

Walking to the commander's position and sitting down, Zhou Tai carefully pondered Guo Jia's military orders.

Zhou Tai must first figure out whether the truth is true or false.

Although it is a military order, sometimes there may be mystery hidden.

After thinking about it, Zhou Tai finally didn't guess what Guo Jia had deeper intentions.

It's very simple: to attack Jingzhou

Military orders must be implemented, otherwise they will disobey military orders and beheaded according to law.

But military generals are also humans, with thoughts, and military orders are one direction. Before Zhou Tai received the military order, he never thought about going to attack Jingzhou.

But now, the idea of ​​fighting Jingzhou took root and sprouted in my heart, and the seeds were sown by Guo Jia, and Zhou Tai's blood was instantly boiling.

He put his heart in his shoes and thought from his own perspective.

If even the generals under Guo Jia were surprised by the attack on Jingzhou, how could Liu Biao think that Guo Jia would dare to attack Jingzhou when Guo Jia was in conflict with each other?

If Liu Biao could not have imagined that Jingzhou would be very cautious.

A war is not only officially started when entering the other party’s territory.

From another perspective, the war can be described as the dispute between the rioters in the city.

If you scold me, I will be full of old fists and the two of them will start fighting.

Swearing is an insult to the nature, but it does not cause any substantial harm to the person.

Liu Biao came to the army and stationed troops in Jianpingxi, which was a war posture.

It is equivalent to Liu Biao standing in front of Guo Jia to declare war, but the battle has not officially started yet.

Throughout history and even later, it is common for hostile troops to be stationed on the border to confront each other. Some finally started fighting, and some finally ended up leaving it alone.

Whether to fight or not depends on whether the consequences can be borne.

As for whom it hits whom first, it doesn't matter at all.

When Jingzhou posed for war, Guo Jia had sufficient reasons to start the war.

Of course, Guo Jia has always sent troops to Yong'an, Badong, which is actually a threat to Jingzhou. It is understandable that Liu Biao fights back.

Then, let's start the war.

This is also the situation that Guo Jia hopes to see.

He missed Jingzhou day and night

No one will listen to Liu Biao's defense. He said in front of the world that the troops stationed in Jianpingxi was to scare Guo Jia, but military operations were a joke? The movement of the three armies was a concern that Liu Biao's troops in southern China could be regarded as a threat, a provocation, and an upcoming invasion.

Therefore, Liu Biao gave the reason for Guo Jia to attack Jingzhou.

Guo Jia will not rashly make enemies for the sake of fighting spirit or face.

This time, he also has plans and strategic ideas.

Just after he read Zhou Tai's military intelligence, he had a longer-term plan in just a few minutes.

The victory or defeat of Guanzhong is unpredictable, and Guo Jia dared not promise that he would definitely defeat Yuan Shao.

Guo Jia made preparations to ask Zhou Tai to fight Jingzhou.

The basic purpose is to crack down on Liu Biao.

The subsequent movements will depend on the results of Guanzhong.

If Guo Jia wins in Guanzhong, then he will ask Zhou Tai to withdraw his troops and continue to operate in Guanzhong honestly.

Once Guo Jia is defeated in Guanzhong, he will return to Yizhou with his defeated generals. At that time, he will be in a crisis in Yizhou, a crisis in which confidence from civilians to wealthy families, and even bureaucratic classes will greatly reduce his confidence in him.

Then he needs to divert his attention.

Attack Jingzhou

After Guanzhong, Guo Jia could see the Central Plains. After Jingzhou, Guo Jia could divide the rivers from north to south and govern.

Interest is the foundation.

Expansion is just a means of pursuing interests.

The troops in Guanzhong and Yizhou can be treated differently. Even if Guanzhong is defeated, the military power of Yizhou should not be underestimated. It is more than enough to attack Jingzhou. Guo Jia has no reason not to fight before.

Now that Guo Jia has a reason to attack Jingzhou, he has a way out.

If Yuan Shao swallowed Sizhou and Liangzhou, he would definitely not be able to go south to capture Yizhou in a short time, while Guo Jia would take the opportunity to lead his army to fight eastward and take Jingzhou.

Guo Jia, who is thousands of miles away, is actually sneering. Liu Biao is best to pray for Yuan Shao to lose in Guanzhong at this time, otherwise, Guo Jia will immediately reinforce Zhou Tai after returning to Yizhou and sweep across Jingzhou.

"Tell the three armies to retreat thirty miles westward."

After Zhou Tai understood Guo Jia's military order, he conveyed such an order that sounded completely different.

Jiang Qin was dumbfounded and asked dumbly: "Youping, the lord's order is to attack Jingzhou. You are disobeying the military order. If the lord pursues it, how can you do it?"

Zhou Tai laughed and said, "Who said I was going to disobey the military order? First withdraw the troops thirty miles, and then enter Jingzhou in one go."

Jiang Qin was shocked by Guo Jia's military orders first. Now, when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he knew how to smile.

Zhou Tai had to retreat first, which was for the Jingzhou army to show it. He should remove the vigilance of the Jingzhou army to the greatest extent.

When the news that the people of Yong'an camp had gone out came to Huang Zu, who was stationed troops west of Jianping County, he sneered and was quite proud.

He thought he was now one of the best generals in the world

The Jiangdong tiger Sun Jian died in his hands

Although he was later captured alive by Sun Ce, he could not erase his achievements in setting up an ambush and killing Sun Jian.

He didn't know that he killed Sun Jian. The heroes in the world who learned about this only felt sorry for Sun Jian, but few of them had admired Huang Zu.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sun Jian died of carelessness and underestimation of the enemy and ambushed, while Huang Zu was just an executor. The person who designed it should be the counselors under Liu Biao. Such a contribution was free to Huang Zu. Whoever took it, as long as he performed the tactics, he could make a great contribution.

Huang Zu stationed his troops in Jianpingxi, and he was inquiring about the movements of Yong'an every day. The confrontation between Badong and Yong'an cannot be treated negatively.
