Huang She nodded when he heard what Kuai Liang said. He felt that what Kuai Liang said was right.

But he immediately became sad again. He suddenly thought that the army he had now had no navy!

There are two powerful naval forces in Jingzhou, one is under the command of Cai Mao in Xiangyang, and the other is under the leadership of Huang Zu in Jiangxia.

Now there are Han troops in both Jiangxia and Xiangyang, and it is too late for me to get over now.

"Sir, we don't have a navy now. The navy is in the hands of Cai Mao and my father." Huang She cried sadly.

Kuai Liang nodded when he heard Huang She's words. He knew that Huang She was right.

Although their Jiangxia army knows how to swim, it is impossible for everyone to swim across it.

In addition, if you want to blockade the river and let the Han army cross the river, do you also need warships? Otherwise, how can you blockade it?

"General Huang, this is what I think. We can abandon Jiangxia and let General Huang Zu retreat to Jingnan via the waterway."

When Huang She heard that he was told to give up Jiang Xia, he felt bad.

The Huang family has been stationed in Jiangxia for more than ten years. It can be said that the foundation of the Huang family is in Jiangxia.

But now, it is more or less difficult for them to give up Jiangxia.

"Sir, must we give up Jiangxia?" Huang She asked reluctantly.

"Must! Without General Huang's assistance, we can't take the four counties of Jingnan!"

"Besides, if we go to Jingnan, it will be equivalent to a complete break with Xiangyang. General Huang will be left alone in Jiangxia, and he will be isolated and helpless!"

"Whether it's the Han army taking Xiangyang or Cai Mao defending Xiangyang. The next target is definitely Jiangxia."

"Besides, as long as Xiangyang sends troops, the Sun family in Jiangdong will not miss this opportunity! Whether it is Cai Mao or the Han army!"

"How is it possible? Isn't the Jiangdong Sun family our ally?" Huang She looked in disbelief.

"Sun Quan is Liu Biao's ally, not General Huang's ally."

"If Xiangyang wins and sends troops to Jiangxia, Sun Quan will send troops regardless of the pressure from his allies or their internal pressure. Don't forget that Sun Jian died in Jiangxia."

"If the Han army wins, in order to protect Jiangdong from being affected, Sun Quan will also send troops to occupy Jiangxia to block the Han army's peak." Kuai Liang analyzed it for Huang She.

When Huang She heard what Kuai Liang said, his face was livid. Because he knew that what Kuai Liang said was true and that the Jiangdong Sun family could really do it.

However, Huang She was still unwilling to give up on Jiangxia.

It seems that he saw Huang She's hesitation, and Kuai Liang also knew that it would be unrealistic for Huang She to change his attitude in a short period of time.

"General Huang, how about you tell Old General Huang the truth about the situation here and let him make his own decision?"

Huang She nodded and said to Kuai Liang: "That's fine, let my father decide everything."

"Well, okay, then let's split up. The general will write a letter first, and I will go and get the army to break camp first. Regardless of whether General Huang goes to Jingnan or not, we need to move to Jingnan!" Kuai Liang said to Huang She.

Huang She nodded, confessed to Kuai Liang, and turned towards his tent. He needed to tell Huang Zu about Liu Qi's assassination.

When Huang She's letter was sent to Jiangxia by waterway, it was already the evening of the next day.

When Huang Zu saw the letter sent by Huang She, he was very angry and slapped the letter on the table.

"How dare you, Shuzi!" Huang Zu scolded.

Lu Gong, his close confidant, was also shocked to see Huang Zu so angry.

"Lord, why are you so angry?" Lu Gong, as a rare counselor and general under Huang Zu, was always highly used by Huang Zu.

"Read it yourself." Huang Zu said and handed the letter on the table to Lu Gong.

Lu Gong just glanced briefly, and his expression changed drastically.

As one of Huang Zu's cronies, he naturally knew that Huang Zu had begun to support Liu Qi's affairs.

As mentioned in the letter, Liu Qi's assassination was a big blow to Huang Zu.

If Liu Qi dies because of this, then all Huang Zu's previous investment will be in vain, and even Jiangxia will fall into a very passive situation.

"Tell me, what should we do now?" Seeing that Lu Gong had read the letter, Huang Zu asked directly to the generals present.

"My lord, as a general, we might as well just surrender to the imperial court! Cai Mao and the others have gone too far. It is reasonable for us to surrender to the imperial court, both emotionally and rationally!" Before Lu Gong could speak, Liu Hu on the side turned to Huang Zu.

said.

"No! If we surrender to the imperial court, how will the young master behave? In my opinion, we might as well take the opportunity to rebel and directly support the young master as the shepherd of Jingzhou, and then use this to negotiate with the imperial court. Only in this way can the young master's status be guaranteed!" Zhang Shuo shook his head!

Shaking his head, he directly rejected Liu Hu's idea.

Huang Zu also frowned when he heard that Liu Hu and Zhang Shuo expressed their preference for peace talks with the imperial court.

Why did Huang Zu support Liu Qi? On the one hand, he believed that Liu Qi was better than Liu Cong and could take on such a big job. But if you say that none of this was for himself, that is unrealistic.

If he just surrendered to the imperial court, what would Huang Zu get?

There was nothing, so Huang Zu's idea of ​​surrendering to the court was not impossible, but he had to plan some benefits for himself.

Of course, it would be best if Liu Qi could be promoted to the position of Jingzhou Shepherd and Liu Qi's independence could be guaranteed, because then he would be able to control all the military power in Jingzhou.

"Lv Gong, what do you think?" Huang Zu looked at Lu Gong, hoping that Lu Gong could give a good solution.

When Lu Gong saw Huang Zu's roll call, he no longer hid his clumsiness, but stepped forward and said to Huang Zu: "My lord, I think we need to discuss this matter carefully."

"First of all, the young master was assassinated, which shows that some people in Xiangyang City can no longer accept the young master's rise and want to get rid of the young master."

"For us, this is not what we want, so we are destined to fall out with the people in Xiangyang."

"Once we fall out with Xiangyang, no matter who wins or loses in Xiangyang, for them, Jiangxia will be the next target. At the same time, the Sun family in Jiangdong will not let go of this opportunity."

"This means that we cannot defend Jiangxia! The Major General's letter also made this clear."

"So, from the general's point of view, if the lord wants to save himself, he can only strike first!" Lu Gong said here, paused for a moment, and raised his head to look at Huang Zu's face.

At this time, Huang Zu was also listening carefully to Lu Gong's advice. When he saw Lu Gong looking at him, he said to Lu Gong: "Keep talking."

"Here!" Lu Gong responded, and then said: "There are only two ways to make a first move. One is that we raise troops here. Whether we can speak to the court or counterattack Xiangyang, it is all possible."

"But by doing this, let alone whether our troops are strong enough, we can capture Xiangyang. Even if we can capture it, for the lord, it will weaken the power in his hands. When the time comes, the lord's right to speak will be with the court.

It won’t be very big.”

"So, what about the second method?" Huang Zu asked curiously.
