Lingling was a great victory!
Several days later.
Liu Xuan led the Jing State navy and arrived at Jing State.
A scout had already informed Liu Biao of the situation.
When Runan Chen Xiang heard this, he smiled and said," Prefecture Overseer, Viceroy, you have defeated Lingling. It is indeed worthy of praise. However, the current situation is not favorable to me.”
Liu Biao was stunned. He turned and asked,""What is it?"
"General Cai Mao and the Governor's cavalry killed Xiahou Jie. When Cao Cao hears of this, he will definitely send troops to attack Jingzhou.”
Liu Biao looked flustered and lost his mind as he looked at the Eight Horses.
One of them smiled and said," Zhonglin is worried, but I think the Viceroy has a plan. My lord, why don't you go and ask?"”
"Alright."
Liu Biao nodded and led the eight steeds out of Jing State.
Outside the city, hundreds of warships gathered on the river.
Ten thousand Jing State navy soldiers, their armor bright.
The person in the lead was Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan asked.
Hearing this, Liu Biao was startled and sighed,""Boyang, father and Mister Eight Horses are also helpless.”
Kuai Yue stepped forward and cupped his fists.”
Everyone nodded and went to the mansion together.
After returning to the mansion, everyone sat down.
Cai Mao cupped his fists." The black-armored cavalry and I defeated the Cao army at the border of Jingzhou. Xiahou Jie died of fear.”
Fan Kang sighed when he heard this." Cao Cao is powerful. When he learns that Xia Houjie has been killed, he will definitely send troops over. Viceroy, do you have any good ideas?"”
Liu Xuan stood up and swept his gaze across the crowd. He smiled and said,""Yuan and Cao are like fire and water. Send someone to Yuan Shao in Jizhou and tell him that Cao Cao is about to send troops to attack Jingzhou. When Yuan Shao heard this, he would certainly attack Xudu.”
When Fan Pang heard this, he asked in surprise,"Isn't this action to let Yuan Shao reap the benefits? My Jing State and Cao Cao are both heavily injured?"
Chen Xiang rose from his seat in shock." If this plan succeeds, not only will we be able to recover Nanyang, but we can also seize Xudu. Viceroy, this is truly a brilliant plan."”
Chen Xiang bowed to Liu Xuan with respect.
Liu Biao pondered for a moment and then said,"In that case, send scouts to Jizhou and spread rumors."”
"Yes!"
When the scouts learned of this, they quickly rode off to Jizhou.
"What should we do next?" Liu Biao asked Liu Xuan.”
"Next, our Jing State will train our cavalry and be ready at any time.”
"Yes!"
Li Cunxiao, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, and the others agreed in unison.
Liu Biao smiled and said," There's no hurry. I want to welcome you. Men, set up a banquet!"”
Liu Biao stood up and looked at the soldiers who had returned triumphantly, revealing a gratified expression.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Liu Xuan ordered his men to train the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou.
The Jing state cavalry was too weak compared to the Cao army.
Thus, Liu Xuan began to train the Jing State cavalry and prepare rations.
Xu Capital!
Cao Cao's mansion!
Xia Houjie's death was quickly reported to the capital.
Hearing this, Cao Cao felt his vision go black and he was speechless.
"Why?" he asked in shock.”
He had sent 10,000 elite soldiers to Jing State.
Wasn't Jing State empty?
Why was Xia Houjie killed?
The scout who reported said in a panic,"General Xiahou Jie originally defeated Cai Mao, but suddenly, a thousand black armored cavalry charged out like lightning, causing General Xiahou Jie to fall off his horse.”
Cao Cao was furious. He looked at his soldiers and said,"Since that's the case, all the soldiers will follow me to Jing State. We will take down Jing State and kill Liu Biao.”
"Lord," Guo Jia reported,"you can't.”
"Fengxiao, Xiahou Jie is my nephew. How can I let Jingzhou do as it pleases?" Cao Cao said hatefully.”
Before he finished speaking, he heard an urgent report.
" Report: Liu Xuan of Jingzhou killed Zhang Yi in Lingling, south of Jingzhou. He shot and injured Zhou Yu of Jiangdong. Jiangdong was defeated and returned.”
"What?" Cao Cao's expression changed.”
He felt his vision darken and hurriedly sat down.
Seeing this, Cao Hong and the others said,""My lord, we will take this opportunity to attack the Jing state.”
Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, and the others looked at each other and said,""No."
Before he could finish speaking, a scout came running.
"Prime Minister, Yuan Shao of Jizhou has gathered two hundred thousand soldiers and stationed them in Cang Ting.”
"How can this be?" Cao Cao was shocked.
"Yuan Shao must have learned that General Xiahou Jie was killed and thought that the lord was going to attack Jingzhou," Guo Jia muttered."He's just sitting there and taking advantage of the situation. He's eyeing the capital like a tiger."”
Cheng Yu cupped his fists and said," My lord, Yuan Shao is your greatest enemy. If you can defeat him and occupy the northern lands, it will be as easy as flipping your hand to take Jingzhou."”
Cao Cao stood in the hall and paced back and forth. After pondering for a moment, he said,"Since that's the case, this Prime Minister orders all the soldiers to follow me to Cang Ting and capture Yuan Shao!”
"Yes!"
The voices of the soldiers echoed in the hall.
