In the last battle, Sun Ce of the Eastern Wu suffered heavy losses due to the defeat of the navy, so that now that Sun Ce's strength has not recovered, it is impossible to send troops to Hanzhong County!
As for Liu Biao, he only made superficial efforts, saying one thing and doing another, which is simply harboring evil intentions!
On the land battlefield where Sun Ce and Cao Wei fought, if Liu Biao sent troops, he would definitely win the land battle with Cao Wei.
However, because Liu Biao was afraid that Sun Ce would defeat Cao Wei and became famous, he did not send troops to support him in order not to be threatened. This situation also directly led to Sun Ce's failure on the land battlefield!
From that incident, it is not difficult to see that although Liu Biao is in a cooperative relationship with Sun Ce and Liu Zhang, he has no idea of iron cooperation at all!
The problem is still the same now, Liu Biao is not at all worried about letting Sun Ce's troops pass through the hinterland of Jingzhou, because Liu Biao is afraid that Sun Ce will suddenly attack them directly and seize Jingzhou!
This was one of the concerns and another concern was that Liu Biao didn't want to send a large number of soldiers to besiege Hanzhong County.
For Liu Biao, this Hanzhong County is the big bone, or the big bone without any meat.
It took a lot of effort to eat it, and there was no meat to eat. Under such circumstances, it would be thankless to go to besiege Hanzhong County.
Liu Biao is a person who thinks about himself all the time, so naturally he will not do such a thing!
What's more, for Liu Biao, although Cao Wei has the upper hand in the current battle situation, it is still very unrealistic if the Cao family wants to take advantage of the current situation to wipe out themselves and Sun Ce in Jiangdong.
Whether it is Sun Ce or Liu Biao, their own strengths are not bad, so even if Cao Wei is itching in his heart, it is impossible for Cao Wei to swallow them all in a short time.
Under Liu Biao's thinking, whether it is Jiangdong or Jingzhou, they will not have any problems in the next few years, or even in the next ten years.
That is to say, in Liu Biao's mind, even if he does nothing now and devotes himself to defense, he will be able to hold on for ten years with the current situation!
And in the past ten years or so, there may be other accidents or other accidents. If the current battle situation can be changed and the general trend of the world can be changed, it will be good and it can't be better!
What Liu Biao thinks is to respond to all changes with the same, and it is a kind of steadfast thinking.
Liu Biao's views on this are simply backward and short-sighted!
Jiangdong Sun Ce, as well as his subordinates Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others had no way to change Liu Biao's mind.
This Liu Biao is a feudal lord of Jingzhou, as the supreme commander and head of Jingzhou, naturally no one can change his mind under such circumstances.
It is impossible for Jingzhou to send troops now, but now Yizhou has to be rescued. Such a situation is a bit too difficult for him, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others.
Now that Sun Ce's strength has not recovered, what should be done under such circumstances?
If Cao Wei is allowed to open up the situation in the west, it will be a big threat to Jingzhou.
Once Cao Wei takes Yizhou, he can directly attack Jingzhou and launch two attacks.
Facing Liu Biao who was attacking from two directions, it would definitely be difficult to resist at that time.
"My lord, regarding the method you mentioned, our lord has already discussed it with General Zhou Yu. Because of some difficulties, this plan has been shelved!"
"However, please rest assured, my lord, since my lord sent me over, it is naturally impossible to come here empty-handed!"
"The reason why Lu Su came here is because the governor has thought of a very perfect plan, and this kind of plan can not only be implemented very smoothly, but also can help you, my lord, to guard this Yizhou, and it can also control the coming situation." If the aggressive Guan Yu is repelled, if it is implemented well, it can inject fresh blood into the anti-Cao army!"
Lu Su looked at Liu Zhang in front of him, and then said what he had already thought about.
After Liu Zhang heard what Lu Su said, he also had a look of doubt on his face.
Being able to get through this matter smoothly, and then defending Yizhou, and being able to repel Guan Yu, is also able to gain new strength.
Such a thing is simply too unbelievable for him Liu Zhang!
Liu Zhang was dubious in his heart, but looking at the expression on Lu Su's face, he also had a curious attitude.
"Can there be such a good plan? Tell me!"
Liu Zhang said to Lu Su in front of him.
After hearing what Liu Zhang said, Lu Su felt a little more relaxed.
Now Liu Zhang's mood has been persuaded by himself, which is much better than the situation just now.
"My lord, what is your analysis of the current situation in the world?"
Lu Su didn't say it directly, but asked Liu Zhang back.
Although this Liu Zhang is not a capable person, he is still very clear about the current forces in the world. After all, he is the lord of Yizhou. With such a status, how could he not know such a simple question?
"The current situation in the world? It is nothing more than Cao Wei who occupied the Central Plains, Sun Ce who is located in Jiangdong, and Liu Biao who is in Jingzhou. The rest is us in Yizhou!"
Now the situation in the world is very clear, and the forces fighting against Cao Cao are left with Sun Ce of Jiangdong, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang of Yizhou.
And how could such a situation be difficult for Liu Zhang?
Chapter 424 Lu Su's Suggestion
Hearing this, Lu Su also said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you see the current situation very clearly. That's right, these three forces are fighting against Cao Cao in terms of the current situation in the world!"
"However, what you may not be aware of, my lord, is that there are many other forces in this world, and these forces are not weak!"
When Liu Zhang heard this, there was a gleam in his eyes.
As for the other forces that Lu Su said, how could Liu Zhang, as the lord of Yizhou, as the ruler of Yizhou, not know what Lu Su was talking about?
The current situation in this world is that above the Yellow River Basin, it is already their territory of Cao Wei, and near the Yangtze River Basin, it is divided equally by the three forces of Yizhou, Soochow, and Jingzhou!
Therefore, the current situation is very clear. The war between the North and the South is actually a confrontation between the Yellow River Basin and the Yangtze River Basin!
No matter which one is Sun Ce, Liu Biao or Liu Zhang, if one is missing, the strength of the Yangtze River Basin will be weakened a lot.
In this way, for the overall struggle, one less is less strength.
The reason why the Yangtze River Basin is at a disadvantage now is also because of the population and military strength in the south.
Compared with the south, the north has a larger population, and the people are relatively fiercer. It is impossible for the southerners to compete with the northerners, so they are at a disadvantage!
Of course, apart from Cao Wei in the Yellow River Basin, Sun Ce, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang in the Yangtze River Basin and other forces, there are still some good forces in other places!
And the other forces mentioned here are the forces other than the Huaxia region.
For example, the Southern Xiongnu who surrendered to the imperial court on the surface, the Xianbei who galloped on the vast grasslands in the north, and the Qiang tribes in the plateau area and Hexi, and even the fierce Nanman in the south tribes etc.
These external forces do not belong to the Chinese forces, so they are called external forces.
But now, Lu Su said that it was one of these forces, or even two or three, who could inject fresh blood into the Anti-Cao!
Of course, such a situation is also very good to think about.
As for these external forces, the ones that can be directly ruled out now are the forces of the Huns and the Xianbei.
