As a result, Xiao Yi was broad-minded, instead of snatching the corpse, he sent envoys to send elegiac couplets to express his condolences. This move of 'Burn the Jade and the Stone' failed. Zhou Yuquan knows, what does he think?

The second strategy is "false way to attack Guo". After Zhou Yu's death, Jiangdong's army will inevitably retreat eastward, and Jiangxia County is the only way to go. Sun and Liu are still allies. When they hear the news of Zhou Yu's death, the left-behind officials must come. Worship!

The Jiangdong Army took this opportunity to capture the officials who came to worship alive, and then seized Jiangxia County in one fell swoop. Jiangxia County is the east gate of Jingzhou. It is not only an important strategic location, but also has a large population and a rich city. It's a waste of time.

At the beginning, the Sun and Liu alliance agreed that the eastern part of Jingzhou belonged to Jiangdong. Now it is justifiable to rob Jiangxia County, and Lu Su is honest and honest. He only robbed the city and did not harm human life. There is room left!

More importantly, Zhou Yu's death, Jiangdong's withdrawal of troops, and the strong pressure of Xiao Lang, the ghost face, have to be independently borne by Liu Bei. In this case, Liu Bei dare not break with Jiangdong and provoke another enemy, so he can only pinch his nose admit it.

Before Zhou Yu died, he was able to devise a clever plan to seize a county and city for Jiangdong. He is worthy of a generation of famous generals and worthy of Sun's great trust!

Next, Sun Quan officially issued an order, appointing Lu Su as the governor, commanding a Jiangdong army, stationed in Jiangxia County, while recuperating, accumulating grain and food, while training soldiers and horses, and watching the situation!

Zhou Yu's coffin went eastward by boat and was sent to Wu County. Sun Quan led officials of all sizes to greet him at the pier.

After 49 days of solemn sacrifice, they were buried next to Gusu Terrace, next to Sun Ce's tomb. The two brothers walked out in the same car, sat in the same seat, and lived next to each other after death. It is also a good story!

However, Zhou Yu’s funeral was very grand, but things behind him did not go well. Sun Quan neither visited Mrs. Xiao Qiao nor her three children, nor conferred titles, but only granted a few hectares of Susukida and a small amount of property. !

Because of the issue of heirs, Sun Quan has always held a grudge against Zhou Yu, but he didn't dare to show it. Before, he carried the coffin himself and knelt down and cried bitterly, all for outsiders to see, so as to win Jiangdong's hearts, and treat orphans and widows lightly later. The true colors of the blue-eyed boy!

"We can't fight anymore, and if we fight again, we will lose both sides!"

"But how can we not fight, because we are afraid that the trees will be quiet and the wind will not stop?"

………………

Xiangyang City - In the State Shepherd's Mansion, Xiao Yi was looking at the map. There were black, red, and white flags on it, representing the forces of Cao, Liu, and Sun respectively. They spread all over Jingzhou, forming a criss-cross pattern!

Among them, Liu Bei is the most powerful, occupying Changsha, Guiyang, Lingling, Wuling, as well as the southern part of Nanjun and the western part of Zhangling, about five counties, and he is already dominating one side!

However, the counties in the south of Jingzhou-sparse population, limited products, and close to the Baiyue tribe, the border has never been peaceful, it may take a while for Liu Bei to gain a firm foothold.

Xiao Yi's power is next, controlling the land of Nanyang, Xiangyang, the northern part of Nanjun, and the eastern part of Zhangling County, about three counties. These places are rich in products and densely populated, accounting for half of Jingzhou's household registration!

Sun Quan was even worse, only got one Jiangxia County, fortunately, the strategic location is important there, and the people's livelihood is relatively rich, which more or less made up for the loss of Jiangdong Group!

However, Zhou Yu was defeated and killed, and Jiangdong's vitality was seriously injured. He has already withdrawn from the battle. The next step is the contest between Xiao Yi and Liu Bei to see who can dominate Jingzhou!

From the bottom of his heart, Xiao Yi is a warlike person. If he wanted to fight Pang Tong, Kong Ming, and Xu Shu, and kill him with a mountain of corpses, blood flowing like a river, and take back all the southern part of Jingzhou, he would feel bad in his chest!

However, after several battles, his direct descendants suffered heavy casualties, and there were not enough weapons, food and grass. It was really powerless to compete with Liu Bei's group, and more importantly, the rear was unstable!

Although the main force of Cao's army retreated to the north, the loss of the defeat was too great.

Moreover, Cao Cao was defeated and fled back, his prestige plummeted, and some scenes could not be suppressed. Those loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty and suppressed gentry families joined forces frequently in private, and there is a momentum of resurgence!

Cao Ying's interior is also not peaceful. The conflicts between clan generals and generals with different surnames, and the contention between Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang... all made Cao Cao exhausted and unable to solve it!

Therefore, in the last few days, Cao Cao sent three secret orders in a row, asking Xiao Yi to withdraw his troops as soon as possible and return to Xuchang to help him take charge of the overall situation. As for the counties and cities in Jingzhou, it doesn't matter if they are discarded, keeping the Central Plains is the most important thing!

Under such circumstances, Xiao Yi has a great ability and dare not fight anymore, but if the two sides negotiate a peace, if he can agree, will Liu Bei agree?

Chapter 1350

Jiangling City - In the General’s Mansion, Liu Bei sits in the center with his face sinking like water, Kong Ming, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun... More than [-] civil and military people sit on both sides of the hall, either with their heads down in thought, or with their eyebrows lowered Locked tightly, the expression is not natural!

Jiangdong's 12 army marched westward, advancing both land and water, with great momentum. Unexpectedly, it was completely defeated in just two months. Not to mention more than half of the troops were lost, even the famous Jiangdong general Zhou Gongjin also fell on the battlefield!

Before the Jiangdong Army attacked Xiangyang City and restrained Xiao Yi's hands and feet, Liu Bei's side was able to attack the city and sweep the southern part of Jingzhou. Now the Jiangdong Army has suffered a crushing defeat, and the ghost-faced Xiao Lang's powerful front can only be borne by Liu Bei's army alone?

Xiao Yi used three tricks at one step, plotting to break people's hearts, confronting such a cunning enemy, he was as resourceful as Pang Tong, and as exhaustive as Kong Ming, and he was not sure of winning at all, let alone Liu Bei who was repeatedly defeated and ran around. .

Liu Bei, Kong Ming, and Pang Tong all regretted not sending troops to support Zhou Yu earlier, so that now their lips are dead and their teeth are cold, and they can't protect themselves, but who would have imagined that Jiangdong's army was defeated so quickly and so terribly!

"If you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred. Xiao Yi defeated Jiangdong's army, and his own losses will not be small. It will be difficult to send troops south in a short period of time. We can recruit troops and prepare for battle calmly!"

"The matter of Jiangxia County can't be pursued, so as not to break with the Jiangdong Group, we can send people to lobby Lu Su and make a gesture of 'revenge'. Even if we disperse Xiao Yi's troops, it will be beneficial to us!"

"There's news from Jiaozhou that the Baiyue tribe is about to make a move and intends to go northward on a large scale. I'm afraid that we and Xiao Yi will be in an inextricable fight. If the Baiyue tribe suddenly sends troops, we will face the enemy!"

………………

Kong Ming, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu spoke in turn, analyzing the current battle situation and planning countermeasures, but from the tone of the three of them, they were not only unsure, but worried!

In the final analysis, the foundation of the Liu Bei Group is too shallow. It swept through five counties at once, assigned troops to guard everywhere, and appointed officials everywhere. Although Kong Ming, Xu Shu and others were very capable, they were in a hurry.

It's like a small boa constrictor swallowing a big roe deer, and it's a little indigestion. It will take at least half a year to completely digest it and turn it into combat power, but Xiao Yi has always been very fast...

"My lord uncle, Shi Song, the fourth son of the Jiaozhou scholar family, has arrived and is asking to see you outside the gate of the mansion!"

"The scholar family is here so soon, I'm afraid the visitors are not kind?"

"Soldiers come to block you, water comes to cover you with earth, you can be afraid of a group of barbarians if you are an imposing man—please!"

………………

I'm really afraid of what will come. There are strong enemies in the north and bad people coming from the south. This is really an enemy. Liu Bei's face is even more gloomy, but the dignity of the great Han emperor prevents him from making concessions to the barbarians.

A moment later, a young man with left-handedness appeared in the lobby. He was in his early twenties, with a decent appearance and a smile on his face. It was Shi Song, the sixth son of the Shi family!

The scholar family dominated Jiaozhou, commanded the Baiyue tribe, and coveted the southern land of Jingzhou. They wanted to get it into their own hands. Before, they sent their second son, Shizhi, as an envoy to lobby Jiangdong and Cao Ying respectively, in order to obtain the benefits of the fisherman. The result was self-defeating. Lost my life to play!

The Keshi family did not give up, and kept secretly gathering troops to watch the battle situation in Jingzhou, waiting for the Cao, Sun, and Liu families to fight exhausted, and then come forward to clean up the mess, it would be best to swallow the nine counties of Jingzhou in one go.

Now that the Battle of Xiangyang is over, Zhou Yu fell on the battlefield, the Jiangdong Army was defeated, Xiao Yi's subordinates suffered heavy casualties, and Liu Bei was trapped in the southern part of Jingzhou.

"People of the barren mountains, pay homage to Lord Liu Huangshu - be healthy and live a long life!"

"Greetings, my lords, generals -- make great achievements and have long-lasting martial arts!"

………………

Unlike the arrogant Shi Zhi, Shi Song is the son of a concubine, his mother is a humble maid, and he is not favored by his father, so he has a low status in the family and is often bullied by other brothers!

In order to survive in the cracks, Shi Song had no choice but to use both sides, and he also developed the habit of "not smiling or talking, just smiling when seeing people". He was very good at dealing with people, but deep down in his heart, he was a hundred times more vicious than Shi Zhi!

"Your Majesty Shi Xie is nearly seventy years old, and he still guards the southern border for the country. He is really a loyal minister. This emperor uncle will definitely play the role of the emperor, and he will reward the scholar family heavily!

The ancients said that if you have nothing to do, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall. The sixth son is not in Jiaozhou to manage affairs, but set foot in Jingzhou. I don't know why. Did you come to look for your elder brother? "

Liu Bei has always been modest, but this time his words were thorny. On the surface, he praised the family of scholars, but in fact he satirized Shi Xie for being old and not dead, and he had the ambition to betray the Han court and become a king on his own!

It is also a warning to Shi Song that it is best to stay honest in Jiaozhou, not to covet the land of Jingzhou, let alone provoke indiscriminately, otherwise Shi Zhi's fate will be a lesson from the past.

"Haha--the emperor's uncle is right, now that traitors are stealing power, the emperor is dusty, and the nine states of the world are in turmoil, since the scholars are ministers, they should share the worries of the emperor and serve the country!
