Ever since Liu Bei shouted out the extremely confident "I have the advantage" in front of his confidants in his camp, Liu Bei swept away the decadence and laziness of the past and began to line up his troops and move towards Jianping.

, Taiqiu and others pressed forward, hoping to find a decisive battle between Chen Gong and Xiahou Dun.

But since Chen Gong can be ranked high in the entire history of the Three Kingdoms, he guessed what Liu Bei and others were thinking.

After all, although Chen Gong was judged by Boss Cao as "slowly intelligent" rather than "mentally retarded", it only shows that when faced with unexpected emergencies, Chen Gong did not react as quickly as a top strategist.

But no matter what, it is much better than Liu Bei not having a decent counselor at all.

Therefore, Chen Gong, who had long guessed that Liu Bei would attack, directly prepared a big gift for Liu Bei. Taking advantage of the fact that Liu Bei had just arrived in Jianping and had not yet built the camp, he asked Zhang Liao to fight out of the dense forest outside the city.

, beating Liu Bei to a disgrace.

As I said before, a large part of Lu Bu's soldiers were brought from Bingzhou. The capital that allowed him to settle down in troubled times was the 50,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry.

In order to guard against Liu Bei, Sun Quan and Yuan Tan, Lu Bu deliberately left Zhang Liao and 30,000 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry in Jianping.

Moreover, the trapped camp, which can be regarded as the first heavy infantry of the Three Kingdoms, also stayed behind in order to teach people like Liu Bei a lesson.

Facing the heavily armored Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, Liu Bei's first choice was to flee directly.

Just kidding, Liu Bei was very poor before and didn't have much money to raise cavalry. You know, even the most ordinary cavalry requires enough money to raise five infantry.

According to Liu Bei's previous character, how could he spend so much money to raise a group of cavalry?

The cavalry only has combat effectiveness when it reaches a certain scale. With that kind of money, it is better to recruit more ordinary soldiers.

Therefore, when he was at the foot of Jianping City and saw 30,000 Bingzhou cavalry wearing heavy armor, even the horses were equipped with armor, Liu Bei ran away.

Including Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who always felt that they were the best in the world, they also ran away. Personal force, even in the face of such a large-scale cavalry, seemed quite powerless.

As a result, Zhang Liao's fame spread throughout the Central Plains more than ten years earlier.

The yellow horse, the yellow dragon hook and the sickle, and the dark iron battle armor became Liu Bei's nightmare for a period of time. He also ran directly to Jianping and ran back to Pei State.

At this time, Liu Bei suddenly thought of "I have the advantage" that he had shouted a few days ago. Even though he was thick-skinned, he felt a burning sensation.

In fact, this is also Liu Bei's fault. He was thinking that he could monopolize Xuzhou, so he was thinking about how to kick Sun Quan away, and did not tell Sun Quan about his actions.

After all, since the last battle of Dingtao, Sun Quan has retreated to the Guangling area. He is not on the front line at all.

Liu Bei thought at that time that it would be fine if Sun Quan ran away. The worst he could do was to spend time with Chen Gong. When Cao Cao was defeated, he could take advantage of this and impeach Sun Quan for not having made any contribution and was not qualified to divide Xuzhou with him.

The result was that he went up to the challenge and was defeated miserably in front of Chen Gong once again.

Although this time, the loss was not big, but the morale that he had finally built up was destroyed again.

Seeing that Xiahou Dun and Chen Gong's coalition forces seemed to be counterattacking him, Liu Bei did not care about his face and sent people directly to Guangling to ask Sun Quan for help.

At this time, Yuan Tan had already quietly moved into Yanzhou with his 100,000 troops, and could not take care of him anymore.

At this time, the person calling the shots in Guangling was none other than the Governor of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu.

Due to the previous defeat of Dingtao and Lu Meng's defeat, Sun Quan had no choice but to use Zhou Yu.

In fact, Sun Quan was quite afraid of Zhou Yu because he knew that Zhou Yu was his brother Sun Ce's best friend, and his brother Sun Ce was secretly killed by him.

If Zhou Yu is allowed to take power, maybe Zhou Yu will notice some clues, and then he will avenge his brother and turn around to kill himself.

Don't think this is alarmist, you must know that when Sun Ce led a group of veterans to fight against Jiangdong, Zhou Yu participated in all the battles as the second-largest figure in the army.

Even some battles were planned by Zhou Yu, and Sun Ce had to obey Zhou Yu's orders.

Zhou Yu also used his talents to conquer all the generals in the Jiangdong Army.

It can be said that if a conflict breaks out between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, most of the generals in the army will side with Zhou Yu.

Therefore, after Sun Quan became the master of Jiangdong, he would intentionally or unintentionally sideline Zhou Yu, and Lu Meng was the chess piece he wanted to use to replace Zhou Yu.

But no matter what, the chess pieces failed to live up to expectations. Forced by helplessness, Sun Quan could only use Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was also very capable. Less than ten days after he arrived in Guangling, he pulled the entire Jiangdong Army out of the shadow of failure and rekindled the belief in victory.

The entire army is dominated by Zhou Yu's will, including Lu Meng, who was sent by Sun Quan to replace Zhou Yu and has now become Zhou Yu's little fanboy.

With Zhou Yu's resurgence, a group of veterans who had previously fought with Sun Jian and Sun Ce were also reactivated.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yu was able to quickly control the entire army. After all, the young generals who now control the army all came from these veteran generals.

When you see your old boss, shouldn't you just stand at attention and salute?

At this time, Zhou Yu was sitting in his big tent, listening to the soldiers' shouts of killing coming from outside the tent during training, and kept tapping his fingers on the eucalyptus table in front of him.

"Gong Jin, haven't you thought about it yet?" Huang Gai sat next to Zhou Yu and asked softly.

"There's no rush, there's no rush in this matter." When Zhou Yu heard Huang Gai's words, he immediately smiled and said to Huang Gai with a smile.

"It's not urgent. The whole city of Jianping is reduced to a pot of porridge. If we don't take action, we really won't even be able to drink soup." Huang Gai is a military commander, and he has a rather impatient personality.

"A mess? I can't see it. Liu Bei must have been defeated by Chen Gong and is at a disadvantage, so he sent people to ask us to send troops." Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"Huh? Really?" Huang Gai was stunned when he heard Zhou Yu's words. He lowered his head and looked at the letter in his hand.

This letter was sent by Liu Bei, but Liu Bei concealed in his heart that he was being chased and beaten by Zhang Liao, saying that he was fighting a bloody battle with Chen Gong.

The war is now urgent and Jiangdong's support is needed.

"Duke, Liu Bei is a man who has nothing to gain. If the war in Jianping goes well, do you think he will send someone to let us send troops?"

"Even if we are evenly matched, Liu Bei will not be like this. Only when he is defeated and unable to survive alone, will he ask people to come to us. As for this letter describing the battle situation so smoothly, it is because he is afraid that we will worry about Jianping.

, the enemy army is strong, but they are afraid to move forward."

"Liu Bei is judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. I, Zhou Gongjin, am here just to defeat Cao Cao!"

"Chen Gong, it's just a small roadblock before I go to defeat Cao Cao."
