Chapter 622 The Jiangdong Ratmen Attack
Master Qianhe smiled and was about to speak when he heard the servant's urgent report!
"My lord! Something terrible has happened! Sun Quan of Jiangdong has sent Zhou Yu with an army of 100,000 to attack Jiangxia!"
The exclamation was like a bolt from the blue, causing everyone present to stand up in astonishment.
Liu Bei was utterly astonished; he had never expected Jiangdong to launch an attack on them at this time.
It should be noted that Sun Ce had just passed away and Sun Quan had just succeeded to the throne. Logically speaking, Jiangdong should have been facing internal and external troubles at this time. How could they have the audacity to attack them?
Just as Liu Bei was still in shock, another servant rushed over.
He reported breathlessly, "My lord, Zhang Lu has dispatched General Yang Ang with 50,000 troops to attack Xiangyang! General Zhang Xiu sent me to inquire about how to respond!"
It turned out that Zhang Xiu was stationed in Xiangyang at the time, and due to the urgency of the situation, he was unable to come in person.
His fierce general, Hu Che'er, was responsible for guarding Wancheng in Nanyang to ensure the safety of the front line.
It can be said that Wancheng in Nanyang was their shield against Cao Cao!
..........................
At this moment, the news was like a bombshell, causing a huge uproar at the banquet.
The joyful atmosphere was instantly replaced by tension and anxiety, and everyone's faces became serious.
Liu Bei's face turned extremely ugly. He never expected that the situation, which he had just seen a glimmer of hope for, would become so critical in an instant.
Not only was he facing an army of 100,000 from Jiangdong, but Zhang Lu's 50,000 troops were also attacking from the flank. This pincer movement plunged him into an unprecedented predicament.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fei's eyes widened, and he slammed his fist on the table, cursing furiously, "Damn it! Sun Quan and Zhang Lu actually dare to take advantage of our misfortune!" His voice echoed in the tent, filled with anger and dissatisfaction.
Zhao Yun frowned and fell into deep thought.
He secretly plotted a countermeasure, thinking about how to deal with this sudden enemy.
"What's going on? Why are two armies attacking us?"
Liu Bei was filled with doubt.
But what he didn't know was that Liu Biao had already written to Sun Quan and Zhang Lu when he lost Xiangyang, asking them to come and take Jingzhou.
That's why they had a reason to come and collect it.
After all, Liu Biao was the ruler of Jingzhou, so when he wrote a letter to collect it, the others would naturally be happy.
Master Qianhe remained calm and slowly said, "Xuande, don't panic. We must not lose our composure at this time. Guan Yu is stationed in Jiangxia with 100,000 troops, and the navy is led by Guan Yu. They should be able to hold off Jiangdong for a while."
"Then who should we send to provide support?" Liu Bei asked, looking at Qianhe.
Jia Xu remained silent, showing no displeasure, given Qianhe's strength.
Although he is a strategist, he can also manage logistics and such.
He has now captured Jiangling City, Xiangyang, Wancheng, and his army in Jiangling City has reached 100,000!
Of course, they are added together.
After all, there are still tens of thousands of them in Jiangxia.
.................................
"We can send Wen Ping and Huo Jun to support Xiangyang. They are familiar with the terrain of Jingzhou and will surely be able to hold it. As for the four counties in southern Jingzhou, let Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Huang Xu go and try to take them as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Liu Bei took a deep breath to calm himself and said, "I will do as Master Qianhe says!"
Then, Liu Bei looked at these generals and was at a loss as to which one to send to attack the four counties of Jingnan.
Qianhe was speechless. Liu Bei really didn't have Zhuge Liang; he couldn't do anything right.
He calmly said, "Zhang Fei, you will lead an army to attack Wuling."
Zhao Yun, you will lead a team to capture Guiyang.
Huang Zhong, you are in charge of taking Lingling.
Wei Yan, you go and attack Changsha. As for Xuande, you stay here and await their news.
Upon hearing this arrangement, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and the others were overjoyed.
They finally have something to do.
Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do.
Wei Yan, in particular, had long harbored resentment towards the governor of Changsha, and now he finally had the opportunity to get rid of him!
"All soldiers, heed my command!" Liu Bei shouted, beginning to issue orders. The soldiers responded readily, the atmosphere tense yet enthusiastic.
Just then, Huang Xu suddenly asked, "My lord, what about me?"
He looked at Liu Bei blankly, seemingly confused about his mission.
