Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 454 Jingzhou Reaction
Today, most of Jingzhou's army has entered the boundaries of Yangzhou.If Ye Mo just marched towards Yangzhou with a large army, it would be of no use, it would just allow Jingzhou to increase its military investment in Yangzhou.

On the contrary, if they march into Jingzhou, as long as they can win a battle and make Jingzhou feel threatened, then Yangzhou's crisis will naturally be self-defeating.

Although the strategy of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao has been around since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it has been tried and tested repeatedly.After all, Liu Biao didn't really want to move. If he really lost Jingzhou and captured Yangzhou, it would be more gain than loss.

But this time Jingzhou dispatched troops, and it was Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi who led the troops to Yangzhou.Liu Biao was old, so naturally he couldn't conscript himself.On the question of who should lead the army, it was because Cai Mao and Huang Zu strongly supported Liu Cong, so Liu Biao had no way to refuse.

It's just that Liu Biao has also discovered some signs of this. It seems that some people are looking forward to his early death, otherwise they will not be eager to make friends with his successor.

Out of restraint considerations, although Liu Biao agreed to let Liu Cong lead the army, he let Kuai Liang be the army's counselor and supervisor.

Liu Biao is naturally aware of the conflict between the Kuai family and the Cai family.It is precisely because of the conflict between the Kuai family and the Cai family that Liu Biao made a big article out of it, and finally gained a firm foothold in Jingzhou.

Liu Biao did not mean to use the Kuai family to restrain Liu Cong when he dispatched troops this time.That's right, it is to restrain Liu Cong. Liu Cong can get the support of the two generals in Jingzhou, water and land, which shows that Liu Cong has enough means.If it is not suppressed, it will be the end of Liu Biao when Liu Cong develops his ambition.

However, if this is the case, there will also be disadvantages, that is, the army going to Yangzhou may fail in the end due to lack of heart.

Liu Biao considered this issue, but in the end Liu Biao still believed that Kuai Liang would not do that.

Kuai Liang is a smart man, so he naturally knew Liu Biao's intentions.Now that Liu Biao already had some doubts about Liu Cong, why did Kuai Liang find discomfort to make trouble?What Kuai Liang had to do was still to come up with some tricks, but although these tricks could defeat the enemy, they would also increase the casualties of Huang Zu and Cai Mao's soldiers.

Just like Liu Biao's guess, although the final result was that the Jingzhou Army was victorious in Yangzhou, but they themselves suffered considerable losses.

More importantly, Liu Biao received news from Luoyang that Ye Mo, the former Taiwei, will lead an army of [-] to Jingzhou.Among the [-] troops, there is an elite group specially trained by the Ye family. The number is around [-], and their strength is unknown.

Upon receiving the news, Liu Biao was also taken aback.He didn't expect that Ye Mo, who had already left Luoyang, would personally lead the army this time.

To be honest, Liu Biao also expected that the imperial court would send troops to the expedition.However, Liu Biao did not guess that the imperial court would directly point the sword at Jingzhou, and secondly, Liu Biao also did not guess that Ye Mo would lead the army.

You know, there is no record of failure in any war led by Ye Mo!

Worried, Liu Biao is extremely worried at the moment, if this one is not done well, his position as the lord of Jingzhou will come to an end.

"Lord Zhou Mu, you asked your subordinates to come here, but what happened to Yangzhou?" Just when Liu Biao was worried, Kuai Yue appeared outside the meeting hall of the Zhou Mu Mansion in Jingzhou.

When Liu Biao saw that Kuai Yue had arrived, he quickly got up and walked down the steps to welcome Kuai Yue into the meeting hall.

"Alien, you are finally here. I just received the news that the imperial court has sent reinforcements to Jingzhou. Moreover, the leader is the half-immortal Ye Mo." When Liu Biao saw Kuai Yue, it was as if he had seen a savior. .

There is no way, among the people in Jingzhou who are willing to become an official, the Kuai brothers are the most resourceful. Now that Kuai Liang is going to fight, naturally only Kuai Yue can win Liu Biao's trust.

But through Liu Biao's words, Kuai Yue discovered Liu Biao's fear of Ye Mo. The name "Half Immortal" was what the soldiers of the imperial army called Ye Mo after the Battle of Hulao. When did people like Liu Biao call Ye Mo like that?

"My lord, since the imperial army is here, we should send troops to meet it. Why panic?" Kuai Yue said respectfully after secretly despising Liu Biao in his heart.

"Alas!" Liu Biao heaved a long sigh after Kuai Yue finished speaking. "If someone else leads the army, even if that guy Lu Bu comes in person, I won't be afraid of him. It's just that Ye Mo is not something ordinary people can handle."

Hearing Liu Biao's words of admiration again, Kuai Yue laughed disdainfully, and then said: "As long as we place our armies in Xinye and Wan County, they will be the horns of each other. Not to mention an army of 30, then It’s an army of [-], so what?”

Liu Biao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Kuai Yue said, and then thought about the landforms of Xinye and Wan County.However, when Liu Biao thought that Hangu Pass was also easy to defend but difficult to attack, but was still taken by Ye Mo, he immediately looked at Kuai Yue and wanted to say something.

However, before Liu Biao could say anything, Kuai Yue said, "If my lord is still not at ease, I would like to take ten thousand soldiers and horses to garrison Xinye."

After Liu Biao heard what Kuai Yue said and thought about Kuai Yue's resourcefulness, he felt a little at ease. "In this case, it will be a blessing."

It's just that Liu Biao didn't notice that after Kuai Yue left the State Shepherd's Mansion, there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.

But Ye Mo and the others, who were still marching at this time, walked towards Jingzhou in a leisurely manner, not caring about the saying that soldiers are expensive and fast.

But it is also true that the imperial court has sent troops with such a big air, whether it is Yangzhou or Jingzhou, they must have received the news.If that's the case, then why is Ye Mo in such a hurry.

Of course, Ye Mo's unhurried appearance now can't be because Jingzhou and Yangzhou have received the news.The real reason is that Ye Mo found out from the battle report sent back from Yangzhou that Jingzhou's army is definitely tricky.

Ye Mo also knew that with the 3 people he brought, it would be an extremely difficult task to recover Jingzhou and Yangzhou all at once.If this is the case, then it is better to let Jingzhou and Yangzhou fight for a little longer, then the resistance will be a little smaller.

But when Ye Mo was thinking about when to enter the battlefield, a light cavalryman ran over with a prisoner.

"Master, we caught an enemy spy in front." After the cavalryman arrived in front of Ye Mo, he also threw the man directly on the ground, and then said to Ye Mo.

After Ye Mo heard this, he also looked down at the spy on the ground curiously.

The spy didn't feel the slightest bit afraid after seeing Ye Mo. "Master Ye, I am here to bring you a letter on my master's order."

After Ye Mo heard what this man said, he didn't care about the letter he said. He just stared at the spy, but didn't make any sound.

But after being stared at by Ye Mo, the man's expression remained as usual, without any change.

After watching for a while, Ye Mo also found that this person is absolutely extraordinary.You know, although Ye Mo usually looks kind and friendly, but after all, he has killed people on the battlefield, and he also holds a high position, so there is naturally an aura in his eyes.

But this person is not affected at all, which can only show that this person has either been trained, or he is not an ordinary person in the first place.

No matter what kind of person this person is, he cannot be as simple as a scout from Jingzhou or Yangzhou.

"Where's the letter you mentioned? Now that you've seen me, bring it over and show it to me." Ye Mo looked at the man, withdrew the aura in his eyes, and then said calmly.

After hearing Ye Mo's words, the man first took off his coat, then tore off the left sleeve of the inner coat, and handed it to Ye Mo.

Seeing this scene, Ye Mo couldn't help being taken aback.Write the letter on the sleeve, it's no wonder that the light cavalry soldier didn't want to find anything from this person.

As a result, after the sleeve, Ye Mo's face changed several times.Then, after closing his eyes and thinking for a while, he immediately ordered the army to speed up the march and march towards Jingzhou.
