Chapter 1010 Liu Xiu wants to plot against Jiang Xia

Jingbei.

Liu Yu looked at Liu Xiu, who said Zhu Yuanzhang was very calculating, but he was secretly scolding in his heart, you are also very calculating!

It was not until the end of the war that Liu Yu realized that he had fallen into Liu Xiu's plan again without realizing it.

Previously, Liu Yu used the bet between the two to become the lord of Jingzhou by taking Xiang Yu's head. This was Liu Yu's delaying plan. After all, after the war in Jiangxia, his troops had almost been lost.

Liu Xiu also agreed to this bet, with the condition that when the bet is to completely decide the outcome, he temporarily took over the lord of Jingzhou.

At first, Liu Yu thought that Liu Xiu was not in an attempt to have civil strife in front of foreign enemies, but after the war ended, he realized that he was thinking too much. Although Liu Xiu really didn't want to continue civil strife at this time, he had no less thoughts to plot against him.

During the Battle of Xiangyang, Liu Xiu temporarily took over the lord of Jingzhou and officially became the leader of this battle. After Xiang Yu withdrew his troops, in the eyes of the people below, it was Liu Xiu who led the military and civilians of Jingbei to repel the great devil Xiang Yu.

Therefore, after this battle, Liu Xiu's prestige in Jingbei has been raised to a new level. Now, Liu Xiu not only has far removed Liu Yu from strength, but also has also lost Liu Yu from prestige.

Now, Liu Xiu can be said to have face. On the other hand, Liu Yu, the gap between him and Liu Xiu in all aspects is getting bigger and bigger, and he seems to be getting further and further away from the position of the Lord of Jingzhou.

"No, we must take it back to Jiangxia!" Liu Xiu said with an extremely serious expression while thinking.

Jiangxia's geographical location is really important, and it is an important town that all the princes of Jingyang must strive for. Xiang Yu's primary goal now must be to return to Jingbei, and to lose one thing. If Jiangxia is taken down by Zhu Yuanzhang, it would be a disaster!

Liu Yu glanced at Liu Xiu and took Jiang Xia back. Although he knew that this matter was very important, it sounds nice. Where did they get the troops back to Jiang Xia?

Transfer troops from Nanyang? But what should I do in Nanyang? Although Jiangxia is important to Jingbei, it is still far from comparable to Nanyang. If Jiangxia is relatively small in strategic position compared to Nanyang, if there is still a limited gap for Jingbei, in terms of money, grain and population, the two sides are completely different from the same level.

"You should know that we don't have that many troops!" Liu Yu couldn't help but remind.

At the same time, he also wanted to see what his brother thought. Since the other party said that he would take Jiang Xia back, it must be more than just a talk. At least he already had a rough plan in his mind.

"No, we have troops, and we still have 80,000 troops!" Liu Xiu said with a flash of light.

"Where did we come from..." Liu Yu just wanted to refute subconsciously, but in a flash, he seemed to think of something again, and his tone changed, "You should know that those 80,000 people are just people who have just picked up their weapons and have no combat power at all! Let these people advance to Jiangxia, just to die in vain!"

When Li Xiang attacked Yongliang, the princes such as Li Xiang, Yang Jian, Ma Teng, and Fu Jian had a history of temporarily recruiting troops.

At the beginning, when Jiang Xia was broken, Liu Xiu and Liu Yu were naturally not so stupid that they didn't even have the idea of ​​recruiting a soldier temporarily.

However, although the soldiers and horses were recruited, and the two men even recruited 80,000 at one time when they became angry, they were the time when the military and civilians in Jingbei were provoked to resist, so it was much more convenient to recruit soldiers and horses.

However, afterwards, due to various reasons, Liu Xiu decided to face the enemy head-on, and the combat power of these ordinary people who had just picked up their weapons was too weak. If it was really used in field battles, it would only affect their only elite troops.

After all, with the combat effectiveness of this part of the troops, facing the elite forces under Xiang Yu's hands, a wave of attacks may be dispersed.

If one is not good, if a defeat is formed, their elite troops will be dragged down and will be in trouble.

Therefore, Liu Xiu never used this group of people.

"Second brother, Xiang Yu is in a hurry to return to Jingnan, so he will not leave too many troops in Jiangxia. We don't need to attack head-on at all!" Liu Xiu said slowly.

"Boom!" Countless thoughts emerged in my mind. Liu Yu didn't think much about it just now, but now Liu Xiu reminded him that he finally guessed what Liu Xiu wanted to do!

After all, if we only lead troops to fight, no one is much worse than each other.

Liu Xiu said it right. Xiang Yu would not leave too many people in Jiangxia at this time. The most likely one is 10,000, and no matter how many it is, it would definitely not exceed 15,000.

Therefore, the other party will definitely concentrate its troops in Jiangxia City, and the rest of Jiangxia County will probably not have too many troops stationed.

The newly gathered soldiers and horses did not have much combat effectiveness. If they attacked Jiangxia City, it would be no different from dying.

But it would be different if it were targeted at other counties in Jiangxia County. Xiang Jun lost all his heart in Jiangxia, and secretly mobilized the people to cooperate with them inside and outside. It can be said that it would be easy to take down these counties.

And when they take down the surrounding counties one by one, only Jiangxia is left, so what can the other party do? How can the lonely city be defended?

When Li Xiang attacked Yongzhou, although Yang Jian concentrated his troops in one city, he was trapping the lonely city! At that time, Yang Jian had no hope of repelling Li Xiang by himself. What he thought was that the princes of Guandong could break through Hangu and force Li Xiang to retreat.

Therefore, in order to persist for a long enough time and to prevent being defeated by each person, Yang Jian concentrated all his troops in Chang'an City and guarded the lonely city.

Moreover, at that time, Yang Jian had already stockpiled a large amount of food, grass and supplies in Chang'an City. Even in the lonely city, he was not worried about any problems.

However, the situation in Jiangxia is different. There is not enough food, grass or supplies there. Wang Zhene is also a famous general. Even if there is no one in the Tang and Song Dynasty Wu Temple, they can be ranked among them. How could they leave the food, grass and supplies in Jiangxia City to Xiang Yu?

The situation in Jingnan is urgent. Could it be that if you don’t rush to return to help, but leave them a batch of supplies?

Therefore, take down the surrounding county town, if possible, then cut off the water supply. At that time, they don’t have to take the initiative to attack, and the other party will have to open up a seat for them.

Now, the only problem is Zhu Yuanzhang. Once Zhu Yuanzhang's men took the lead in taking Jiangxia City, they had no choice. With their current situation, they did not have the confidence to provoke Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, when Liu Yu saw Liu Xiu's appearance, he knew that the other party must have a solution.
