After Cao Cao led his army to withdraw north, Nanjun became a land without one.
Liu Bei, who had been watching from the Jingnan Public Security Bureau, was immediately overjoyed and couldn't wait to send his troops north.
Cao Jun left, but Jiangdong Army was still stationed in Chibi.
Lu Xun may send his troops westward at any time and seize the key areas of Nanjun!
In order not to affect the alliance with Sun Quan, Liu Bei could only use the fastest speed to regain Nanjun in one fell swoop.
When Liu Bei led his army to Nanjun, he realized that he was naive.
Various county towns in Nan County were severely damaged, and the smallest ones also experienced heavy fires.
Today's Nanjun is not only desolate and deserted, but also miserable.
The city was completely destroyed!
Zhuge Liang shook his head just looking at such a shabby place!
Lu Xun would not waste time and energy in such a barbaric land, and had already led his army back to Jiangxia.
But if some people treat it as rags, then naturally some people will treat it as a treasure!
While Liu Bei lamented that Nanjun was in devastation, he urged his troops to split up and take Nanjun into his hands again.
The march was undoubtedly very smooth.
Stationed in Xiangyang to the north and faced off against Fancheng north of the Han River.
Pang Tong marched westward to Zhijiang to contain Qin's eastern army.
Move eastward and garrison Zhouling, directly targeting Xiakou.
Liu Bei personally stationed in Jiangling and sat in command with Zhuge Liang.
Liu Beijun, who seemed to be in good order and rebuilt Nanjun into an iron barrel, was actually extremely embarrassed!
The four military fortresses of Xiangyang, Zhijiang, Zhouling, and Jiangling were burned down by Cao's army, and there were no city gates left.
Garrisoning troops and horses can only be Liu Bei's last act of stubbornness.
At present, it can be said that no one or any force has the power to attack.
Otherwise, the four cities can be destroyed overnight!
After initially taking control of Nanjun, Liu Bei faced new problems.
migrant.
The population that was moved to Jingnan now has to be moved back.
But if the city is destroyed, where will the people live?
Seeing that winter is about to enter, if there is no shelter, you will freeze to death!
The migration of the people of Nanjun to the south has become a source of public dissatisfaction.
Now, within half a year, he has moved back again, and there must be a lot of criticism.
After the people returned, they had no accommodation and had to live in the open. They had to rebel on the spot!
But without a population, how can we talk about revitalizing Nan County?
In desperation, Liu Bei could only leave everything to Zhuge Liang.
No matter how Zhuge Liang shook his head, he ignored it.
In short, if he fails to do this, Liu Bei will go to Zhuge Liang to settle the score!
After greeting Liu Bei's family countless times, Zhuge Liang could only agree.
But everyone knows that the difficulty of this matter can definitely shock people.
If this kind of Nanjun wants to return to the level of Cao Jun's southern expedition, the manpower, material resources, energy, and time required will be astronomical.
Fortunately, Zhuge Liang's ability to manage government affairs was indeed top-notch. With the help of the Jingzhou family, Nanjun was gradually and steadily rebuilt.
On the other hand, after Lu Xun was sure that Cao Cao would withdraw his troops, he led his troops back to Xiakou.
You can't stay in Chibi and Wulin waters at all.
Jiangdong's army was tortured terribly by the plague!
If this continues, there may even be a risk of destruction.
Lu Xun had no idea about Borderlands Nanjun.
He would not be stupid enough to argue with Liu Bei in this situation.
In Lu Xun's eyes, Nanjun was completely a hot potato!
Whoever occupies it will be attacked from three sides!
Today's Soochow, not to mention facing attacks from three sides, cannot even withstand attacks from two sides.
Especially the Qin army on the front line of Yiling and Yidao made Lu Xun shake his head.
There is no strategic depth to compete head-on with the Qin army?
Lu Xun had four words to comment on this, seeking death!
The waters of the Yangtze River are gradually calming down, and the war around Huainan has begun.
Jiangdong Army has achieved great results in the Huainan area, and now is the time to expand its results.
Zhou Yu is currently mobilizing troops and horses, preparing to jointly attack Guangling with Sun Quan of Moling.
Completely drive Cao's army north of the Huai River!
Sun Quan had only one request for Lu Xun, that he should guard Jiangxia County and Yuzhang County.
Completely cut off the waters of the Yangtze River from Xiakou to ensure internal stability in Jiangdong.
Guangling County.
Zang Ba, the governor of Xuzhou, was unable to provide support, and Chen Ying, the governor of Guangling County and the current head of the Chen family, was unable to resist the Jiangdong Army who was attacking from two sides.
After receiving the news that Sun Quan was going north, he chose to retreat to Xiapi without hesitation.
Sun Quan once again expanded the territory of a county almost without a single blow.
Zhou Yu's capture of Jiujiang meant that Jiangdong had completely captured the entire land of Yangzhou.
Jiangxia County and Guangling County represent the Jiangdong influence that has left Yangzhou and successfully spread its influence to Jingzhou and Xuzhou!
At this point, Jiangdong's power has ushered in a leap since the Sun Ce era!
Sun Quan's style is unparalleled!
When Cao Cao led his army to Xuchang, news of the fall of Guangling County came.
This once again caused Cao Jun, whose morale was low, to be shaken like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
Guangling County, Jiujiang County, and Lujiang County jointly formed the Huaihe River Defense Line.
Now that all three counties have been lost, Cao Jun may have to face the situation of sighing while looking at Huaihe River.
Guangling County and Jiujiang County border Xuzhou Donghai County, Xiapi State, Peiguo and Runan County in Yuzhou respectively.
Cao Cao could already imagine the chaos and panic in the area bordering Sun Quan's army.
There is no way, who let Cao Cao consume all the elites?
Nowadays, apart from the powerless county soldiers, the states have no power to resist the invasion.
Cao Cao's direct combat strength was only the tens of thousands brought back from Jingzhou.
Excluding injuries and illnesses, the maximum number of combatable troops is 30,000.
Wanting to counterattack the Huaihe River with 30,000 people can only be a dream!
But 30,000 people are even more stretched to defend such a large border!
Cao Cao exclaimed that he was forced to a dead end!
Since the news of Nanjun's defeat came, undercurrents have been surging in the Central Plains and Hebei.
The royalists in the Central Plains and the old Yuan family in Hebei have begun to think about it.
Previously, Cao Cao had an army of more than 300,000 men, but no one dared to openly resist.
Now that Cao Cao only has tens of thousands of people left to survive, who will take him seriously?
Once the only 30,000 people are wiped out again, Cao's hegemony will be in danger of collapse.
The newly established Wei State will also completely collapse.
In this desperate situation, it was Guo Jia who stood up again.
It's like asserting that Sun Ce would not have gone north to attack Xuchang and would have died at the hands of assassins.
Guo Jia once again asserted that Sun Quan's offensive would stop at the Huaihe River line.
As long as the court is willing to pay some price, it will be enough for the two parties to give up and make peace.
As time went by, the facts turned out to be as Guo Jia expected.
Even though Yuzhou and Xuzhou did not send additional troops and horses for support, Jiangdong Army never had any intention of crossing the Huaihe River.
Not only that, according to detailed reports, the situation seems to be somewhat abnormal.
Instead of actively preparing for war, Jiangdong Army adopted a defensive posture.
At present, defense fortifications are being actively built on the south bank of the Huaihe River, as if they are welcoming an enemy invasion!
Cao Cao once again realized the viciousness of Guo Jia's vision.
When asked how Guo Jia turned hostility into friendship with Sun Quan, he couldn't help but froze in place.
. . .
