Six hundred and thirty-five from Xiangyang to Jiangling
Jingzhou was occupied by Guo Peng in Hanzhong and was greatly shocked.
Of course, the main thing is that it is not panic.
Because the Cai family and Kuai family were headed by the Cai family, it was not a day or two before the major wealthy families in Jingzhou and Guo were involved in secretly talking about music.
Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others not only gave information, but also talent, and treasures to Guo Peng to please Guo Peng, but they almost gave Jingzhou to Guo Peng.
Now Guo Peng has taken Hanzhong, set up Shangyong County and stationed troops, which has formed a clamp-shaped offensive against Liu Biao's forces.
While threatening Nanyang, he directly threatened Xiangyang, which made Liu Biao restless and restless. He was frightened by eating, sleeping and going to the toilet. He always felt that somewhere was unsafe.
How could others sleep soundly beside the bed? Who knows when Guo Peng will be going south to deal with him?
It’s okay to say in Nanyang, but Shangyong is really unbearable now.
Then, send troops to attack Shangyong?
The previous attack on Yingchuan and Runan suffered a crushing defeat and lost their only direct troops, which made Liu Biao feel worried. He didn't know whether he could continue to use troops against Guo Peng.
Can the attack on Shangyong be successful?
It's hard to say.
For this reason, he held a meeting to discuss the matter.
"Guo Zifeng's Hanzhong County is the purpose of establishing Shangyong County. I think no one knows how close it is to Fangling to Xiangyang. You are also clear. There is no barrier on the side of Xiangyang now. Unless you take down Shangyong as a barrier, Xiangyang is unsafe. So, I decided to use troops to Shangyong. What do you think?"
As soon as Liu Biao said this, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others were very surprised.
The previous Northern Expedition lost a direct army like Liu Pan, but he was still unwilling to give in and refused to admit defeat?
Do you still have to send troops to attack Guo Peng?
This time he has no real direct troops, and what he uses is everyone's troops, horses, money and food?
What is this?
So the civil and military officials advised Liu Biao not to do this, and advised Liu Biao not to take the initiative to send troops.
Jingzhou has just suffered a crushing defeat, and the morale of the army has not recovered. The Wei army has just won the victory in the Battle of Hanzhong. It is highly morale and strong in combat. At this time, attacking Shangyong is simply to give up people's heads. Don't do this.
Everyone unanimously opposed it. While Liu Biao felt very angry, he also felt a little relaxed, because sending troops to Shangyong was not his first choice.
The encounter between Liu Zhang and Sun Ce made Liu show that Guo Peng was a beast. It was a great honor that he would not come to fight. He would take the initiative to find the fight. If Guo Peng annoys, he will lead his troops south...
Isn't that asking for death?
Liu Biao still has this ability.
So he took the opportunity to express his true purpose.
"What you said is reasonable and rashly activating troops is not my wish, but the danger is near, so you must check it."
When Liu Biao said this, everyone nodded.
Then Liu Biao said, "Xiangyang is very close to Nanyang and closer to Fangling. Xiangyang is currently at the forefront of wartime, and it is no longer the best place to sit firmly in the rear and remotely control the overall situation. From Fangling to Xiangyang, it is only 400 miles. The cavalry can reach it day and night.
The ancients said that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. I want to move the prefecture capital from Xiangyang to Jiangling to ensure the safety of the prefecture capital and not put myself and all positions in such a dangerous situation. What do you think?"
Jiangling is also an important town in Jingzhou. It controls Bashu in the west, Xianghan in the north, and has a river and lake in the north, and is located in the east of Jiangdong. It is located at a critical moment in transportation and has a very important position.
Liu Biao wanted to move the prefecture capital from Xiangyang to Jiangling. From the perspective of the regional economic development and strategic focus, there was nothing inconvenient, because Jiangling's transportation and economic population size is actually very excellent, not worse than Xiangyang.
Zhou Yu and Cao Ren launched a year-long offensive and defensive battle around Jiangling, which is enough to prove that Jiangling is a strong city in the world and is not inferior to any city.
But it doesn't mean it's just migration.
Xiangyang is equivalent to Liu Biao's capital. Does the capital move as soon as it is said to be moved?
Geographical location, beauty, population, transportation, infrastructure, economic development, migration costs, etc., affect the whole body.
Moving the capital is not as simple as Liu Biao's sleeping in another city. It revolves around the core power of Liu Biao and Jingzhou, a large number of key tasks, construction projects, manpower, material resources, and centers of Jingzhou are all in Xiangyang, and everyone has taken root in Xiangyang.
At this time, you said you wanted to move the capital, and should you consider everyone's opinions?
Unless you learn from Dong Zhuo, force the capital to move, and use troops to force everyone to move the capital, there is nothing you can do. If you have more soldiers, you are right.
Or Guo Peng moved his capital many times, but he couldn't stay in each place for a long time. Because he couldn't stay for a long time, the capital was not deeply rooted and had not yet launched many projects around the resident, so the migration was also moved, and it was no big deal.
But Liu Biao did not meet the conditions of Dong Zhuo and Guo Peng.
He neither had such strong military strength and had been in Xiangyang for nearly ten years. Xiangyang, as the capital of Jingzhou, has been deeply rooted, and it is not easy to change it.
Unless there is a powerful deterrence from external forces, everyone is forced to leave as if they are stuck in their throats.
This is the time.
If he didn't leave, Liu Biao couldn't even eat.
I want to fight, but you don’t let me fight. It’s so good, just leave and choose one of two.
Liu Biao threw this option to his subordinates, letting them think about it themselves and let them discuss it themselves.
Anyway, this is the case, and Liu Biao himself has a deep understanding of this. He knows everything he can and cannot do.
Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others also knew it clearly. Although it was not in their interest to move the capital to Jiangling, it seemed to be a helpless move.
They are all from Xiangyang, and their family business is near Xiangyang, and their political center is in Xiangyang to facilitate them to grasp official positions and control Jingzhou politics.
However, if the political center is transferred to Jiangling in Nanjun, according to political rules, it is definitely not a good thing for the Cai family and Kuai family who are based in Xiangyang.
But having said that, everyone knew what Liu was saying was nothing more than giving everyone a choice of two.
I ask you to choose, and whatever you say is what you want, either fight or leave. I can't stay in Xiangyang anyway. If I stay there, I may be killed at any time. You choose it yourself, I don't care.
Liu Biao also started to make trouble, but the key point is that everyone cannot avoid this.
Guo Peng took the initiative with a clamp attack, and Xiangyang had lost its former depth and was suddenly exposed to the Wei army's military. He either seized Shangyong to gain depth or left.
Anyway, Liu Biao felt it was very unsafe. If he continued to be unsafe, he couldn't accept it and he must choose.
A group of people looked at me and I looked at you, and they felt a little embarrassed.
As a result, when Huang Zu learned about this, he actually asked Liu Biao to Jiangxia. He was willing to use Jiangxia as the capital of Jingzhou to protect Liu Biao.
The reason is that the Jiangdong chaos is in chaos, Sun Ce is dead, and the threat no longer exists. Jiangxia is very safe now.
Huang Zu was a descendant of Huang Xiang, a famous minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty. His family power was very large in Jiangxia and had a great reputation, and it was different from the political stances of Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others.
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue both looked up to Guo Peng and were pro-Guo factional. Huang Zu was different. Huang Zu firmly advocated resisting Guo Peng. He volunteered to fight during the Northern Expedition before, but was against Guo faction.
For a long time, Liu Biao lacked a direct line, so he has been using Huang Zu's power to compete with the strength of the pro-Guo faction such as Cai Mao and Kuai Yue to reach a balance in a sense, so as to maintain his position.
At this time, Sun Ce was dead, Jiangdong was in chaos, and the Sun family's threat was lifted, and Huang Zu was greatly relieved.
Not to mention that the agreement is safe after signing. Huang Zu doesn't believe this. The deep blood feud between Sun and him is absolutely impossible to change. He knows it clearly, so he will never believe in the agreement.
Now that Sun Ce is dead, Jiangdong is in chaos, Shanyue is full of powerful bandits everywhere, and the Sun regime is unable to take care of itself, so how can there be any way to think about Jiangxia?
Huang Zu then felt relieved and began to interfere in Xiangyang politics repeatedly, and disagree with Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others, forming a political balance in a considerable sense, which was used by Liu Biao.
Now that Liu Biao said he was going to Jiangling, everyone suspected that Huang Zu simply said he was going to Jiangxia, and Cai Mao and Kuai Yue were even more surprised.
Even if they go to Jiangling, they can still play politics within the scope of Jiangling. If they go to Jiangxia, wouldn’t Liu Biao and the central government completely fall into Huang Zu’s hands?
