"The ministers have heard about it, but they don't believe it." Huang Zhong said.

"I didn't believe it at first, but I went to Jiangdong Wanling overnight and saw the army that Chen Duan said with my own eyes. Now I have to believe it." Xu Ding said solemnly: "This army is stronger than you imagined. , are more elite than our army. Moreover, they have a full 20 people, and their strength is stronger than ours. "

"The situation is very urgent, so I will make a few decisions. First, we will resolutely expel this powerful army that suddenly appeared and block them in Jiangdong. Second, I agree with General Sun Jian's surrender, so that they can abandon Jingnan and go to Xiangyang. Listen to the tune. Third, we will form a new army, with a number of about [-], to deal with the new powerful enemy."

"Oh, that's right." Xu Ding remembered something again: "Cao Cao has gone to Xiliang, and Jia Xu is in Chang'an. Immediately draw up a decree, form an alliance with Cao Cao, and give him Xiliang. [-] steps were drawn from Henan and Yanzhou Army, stationed in Chang'an. Transfer Jia Xu's sharp-blade army to Xiangyang for use."

After Xu Ding finished speaking, he looked at everyone: "Do you have any opinions?"

"Your Majesty, is the matter really so serious? Cao Cao is at the end of his rope. As long as Jia Xu goes to Xiliang, Cao Cao will be eliminated. If we form an alliance with her now, wouldn't it give Cao Cao a chance to breathe?" Zhao Yun said.

"There is no way around this. The enemies that appeared in Jiangdong are indeed very powerful. Jia Xu's sharp-bladed army is the main force to deal with them, and must be transferred here." Xu Ding did not want to explain, and directly decided: "I will deal with this matter." I have already thought twice, so there is no need to say any more. Follow what I just said, and do it quickly."

"Yes."

The generals looked at each other and responded slowly.

Chen Duan went out: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You don't need to thank me. If you really want to say it, I should thank you. If you hadn't reported the letter, I wouldn't know that such a big incident happened in Jiangdong. Once a strong enemy invades, I won't be able to resist it."

Allow to expand the map.

Guo Jia came over: "Your Majesty, I don't know how strong that formidable enemy is? Could it be that we can't reach it with our strength?"

Xu Ding looked at the map and said: "I don't need to hide it from you, anyway, you will know sooner or later. The weapons used by this enemy are more advanced than the Sharp Blade Army. They can kill the enemy thousands of meters away. Moreover, wearing The penetrating power is extremely strong, and the armor is absolutely irresistible. They also have artillery, which is more powerful than our bombs."

Xu Ding introduced it to everyone.

Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, who didn't care much at first, couldn't help frowning.

Although Zhuge Liang kept silent, he was worried in his heart.

It's not that I'm worried about whether China can win, but that once the war starts, I'm afraid that there will be no peace in the Central Plains.

Wen Pin cupped his hands and said, "Since the enemy army is so strong, can Jingzhou still hold?"

"If you can defend it, you must defend it. If you cannot defend it, you must defend it." Xu Ding said: "If we defend Jingzhou and Yangzhou, the enemy will not enter the Central Plains. Once we let them break through, we will have no chance of winning the battle of the Central Plains."

Guo Jia was still in shock. When he came back to his senses, he said: "Your Majesty's words are absolutely true. According to the terrain of Jiangdong, we will defend Jingyang and Yangzhou. Let General Gan Ning's navy blockade the Yangtze River, and the enemy will be blocked. Jiangdong."

"If you don't tell me, I almost forgot about it." Xu Ding said suddenly, "Quickly send an order to Gan Ning, put down what you're doing, and call all the navy to the vicinity of Yangzhou. Tell him to pay special attention not to start a war with the enemies in Jiangdong. .When I prepare everything, we will fight against the enemy together.”

"Yes."

Guo Jia agreed.

Aiming at the strong enemy appearing in Jiangdong, Xu Ding discussed with his ministers for a long time.

It didn't dissipate until night.

Xu Ding left Chen Duan and Zhuge Liang behind.

"Kong Ming, you also know the current situation. The people in the Central Plains are facing a catastrophe. If you don't take action, the country may not be saved." Xu Ding said sincerely: "I hope to join hands with you to deal with the enemies of Jiangdong. Do you have Feel free to ask for anything, including the release of Liu Bei, and the soldiers captured by me during the Battle of Jizhou, you can give him together, but he can't go back to Taihang Mountain, he can only defend Jiangdong in Yangzhou, what do you think?"

This is Xu Xu's biggest concession.

If Zhuge Liang still disagrees, he has nothing to do.

Zhuge Liang raised his head: "Your Majesty is really willing to release my lord?"

"Ah."

"It seems that the enemy of Jiangdong is indeed very difficult to make His Majesty make such a decision." Zhuge Liang smiled lightly.

"Do you agree?"

Zhuge Liang was silent for a while, then slowly got up and said: "Zhuge Liang is willing to join hands with His Majesty to attack a powerful enemy. But there are two requirements, I hope His Majesty will allow."

"You said."

Zhuge Liang said: "First, release my lord immediately, as well as our soldiers who were captured in the battles of Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Guanzhong. Second, I only belong to my lord Liu Xuande and advise him."

"This." Xu Ding sat down and said, "Since that's the case, why should I agree?"

Zhuge Liang said: "I would like to assure you that my lord will firmly stand on His Majesty's side to deal with the enemies of Jiangdong. If I break my promise, I will leave him and return to Your Majesty."

Chen Duan said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Kong Ming has made a promise, and he will not break his promise. In order to deal with Jiangdong's powerful enemy, let's agree. One more assistant, one more confidence."

"Kong Ming."

Xu Ding really didn't want Zhuge Liang to go, but Zhuge Liang didn't want to stay.

Xu Ding was still not reconciled, and said: "You serve under my command, you can command 10,000+ elites, and use your formation to your heart's content. But under Liu Bei's command, what effect can you take with the pitiful tens of thousands of remnants? Didn’t he make suggestions and bury your talents? Just like the battle of Jizhou, you almost won several times, but because the army’s combat effectiveness was poor and the number was too small, you had to lose. I really want you to show off for your own good. Talent, you must think twice."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Zhuge Liang was a little shaken in his heart, but Liu Bei was still in the world, how could he feel betrayed, even if he wanted to work for Xu Ding, he couldn't do that.

Zhuge Liang still said firmly: "Let me return to Xuande. Although there are fewer troops, I can guarantee that it will not be so easy for the Jiangdong army to eat me."

"Row!"

Xu Ding is also willing to go all out. When a catastrophe comes, we should unite all the forces that can be united. Zhuge Liang's willingness to lead his army to fight against the powerful enemy from the east of the river has already helped a lot.

Maybe after a long time, he can change his opinion, even if he plays for China.

Xu Ding pointed to the map next to him and said, "We have three battlefields. One is Xiangyang, Jingzhou, the other is Hefei, Yangzhou, and the third is the water battle on the Yangtze River. There are Ganning and Ning in the water battle, so I don't have to worry about it. The main ones are Xiangyang and Hefei."

"I have ordered the troops from all states and counties to gather in Xiangyang. Mr. Kong Ming, you should go to Hefei as soon as possible. I will release Liu Bei immediately, and the army that captured him is also in Hefei. In addition, I will let Huang Zhong lead the The Central Plains Field Army, go to Yangzhou. You should join hands to deal with it."

"As ordered."

Zhuge Liang calculated that the army captured by Xu Ding, plus Huang Zhong's Central Plains Field Army, numbered [-].According to Hefei, there should be no problem.

Xu Ding exhorted: "I know you are good at deploying formations and have unparalleled strategies. If you fight against an ordinary army, you will definitely win every battle. But the enemy that will appear in front of you is something you have never encountered before. I only hope that you will use your troops carefully. To underestimate the enemy."

"Remember." Zhuge Liang bowed his hands and stepped back.

"Zizheng, are you willing to lead troops?" Xu Ding asked.

"Can I do it too? I have never led a soldier before." Chen Duan was still thinking about what happened just now, when Xu Ding asked suddenly, he was startled.He hasn't expressed his commitment to work for Xu Ding yet, Xu Ding has arranged for him to work.

He is a counselor, not a general.

"Zizheng is humble. Under General Sun Jian's account, except for Zhou Gongjin, you are the best at using soldiers. It would be a pity if you don't show off your talents and learning?" Xu Ding stepped forward to hold his hand and said, "A catastrophe is coming. , must not be shirked."

"I will do the work of a dog and a horse!"

Chen Duan is not like Zhuge Liang, even Sun Jian has agreed to surrender Xu Ding, what else can he say.
