    "Yuan Tan, this is wrong!" Lu Su shook his head after hearing Gu Yong's words, "Cao Cao has just moved his capital to Yecheng, so it is impossible to use troops against us. What's more, there is General He Qi in Wu County and General Tai Shici in Jianye.  , there is no need to be afraid of Cao Cao."

    "Zijing, even if Cao Cao doesn't send troops, there are still tens of thousands of troops in Jingzhou!" Lu Fan was still a little worried.

    "As long as the governor sends troops to approach Jiangxia, and I send troops to approach Nanjun, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are in Jingzhou, they will not dare to move!"

    "Then we and Jingzhou"

    "Yuan Tan, Zi Heng, are you and my lord still entangled in alliances now?" Zhou Yu looked a little helpless, "The world today is just like the Warring States period, where the ink on the alliance letters was not dry, and the swordsmen came again, between Qin, Mu and Chu.  Only the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. As for allies, when Dong Zhuo was attacked, didn't the eighteen princes form an alliance with blood? But before Dong Zhuo was destroyed, the princes were in chaos! What was the purpose of Liu Cong's troops in Wuxi?  , it¡¯s not that we want to capture Cangwu. So let me ask, Cangwu, should we give in or not? If we don¡¯t give in, how can we not fight with swords? "

    After listening to Zhou Yu¡¯s words, Gu Yong and Lu Fan both fell into deep thought.  Soon, they also understood the reason and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

    "What the Governor and Zijing said is true, but now, Jingzhou's 10,000 troops have returned to Wuling!"

    "What can we do with 10,000 troops? We have just experienced a great battle and are exhausted. Liu Cong has plundered the Wuxi barbarians to the four counties of Jingnan. They are currently resettling them. We still have a chance!" Zhou Yu said eagerly!

    "This" Lu Fan thought for a moment, "Most of what he said makes sense. I will go back to Yuzhang right now and work with Yuan Tan to urge the lord to send troops!"

    "Okay!" After hearing Lu Fan's words, Zhou Yuxian became more energetic, "If we capture Jingzhou, Yuan Tan and Zi Heng should be the first to win!"

    Lu Fan, Gu Yong, and Lu Su left Chaisang that day. Lu Fan and Gu Yong returned to Yuzhang, and Lu Su returned to the Sanjiangkou camp to prepare for the dispatch of troops.

    "General!" After everyone left, Zhou Shan came to Zhou Yu's room.

    "How's the investigation going?" Zhou Yu asked.

    "The general is right, my subordinates have got some clues. Although the people who assassinated the late lord were all Xu Gong's retainers, there were indeed ghost soldiers inside helping them, and there were also" Zhou Shan's face looked a little expressionless.  Hesitant.

    "What else" Zhou Yu's voice seemed particularly cold.

    "General, look" Zhou Shan handed over a piece of information.

    After Zhou Yu finished reading, there were some beads of sweat on his forehead and his hands were shaking a little.

    "General"

    ¡°Remember, no one must know about this!¡±

    "No!"

    It only took Liu Cong three days to return to Wuling from Chenxi.

    Under the resettlement of Jiang Wan, Liu Ba, Liao Li and others, the Wuxi barbarians all stabilized and began to reclaim wasteland and plant crops.  Because the state pastoral government provided them with food, they were no longer as hungry as before. Not only did they not have any resistance or resistance, but they were very enthusiastic.

    "See my lord!"

    Jiang Wan, Liu Min, Gong Zhi and Fazheng led a group of officials to greet Liu Cong outside Wuling City.

    "No need to be polite!" Liu Cong waved to everyone, "You have all worked hard these days!"

    "The hardest one should be my lord, this is all our responsibility!" Jiang Wan's eyes were full of excitement.  He felt this way every time he saw the lord Liu Cong.

    "When did Xiaozhi arrive in Wuling?" Liu Cong was somewhat surprised when Fazheng appeared here.

    "These days, the Tianwang Camp has sent a lot of information, and the princes from all over the country have taken action. My subordinates are a little worried about Changsha, so they came here."

    "Oh?" Liu Cong frowned slightly. To be honest, he was a little worried about Changsha, "Let's go to the military camp!"

    "My lord, the prefect's mansion has prepared a banquet. You can discuss it while eating so as not to delay your lord's important affairs." Jiang Wan said hurriedly.

    "Well, let's go to the prefect's mansion!"

    Everyone entered Wuling City and went straight to the prefect's mansion.

    When Liu Cong first sent troops to Wuxi, all the princes in the world were waiting and watching!  And almost none of them are optimistic about Liu Cong.  The terrain of Wuxi is complex, and the barbarians are very brave. During the reign of Emperor Guangwu, many large armies were sent to conquer the area, but all ended in failure.

    And the most important thing is that now that the world is in chaos, all ambitious heroes have set their sights on the Central Plains and some places that must be fought over by military strategists.  Wuxi doesn't have much value in using troops at all.

    ??However, unexpectedly, in just over a month, Liu Cong won a complete victory.  They were confused, were today's Wuxi barbarians really vulnerable?

    When Liu Cong moved all the Wuxi barbarians to the four counties in Jingnan, all the princes suddenly realized that Liu Cong's goal was here!

    Year after year of fighting, the population has dropped sharply. You must know that the only thing fighting for war is manpower.  At this time, they had to admire Liu Cong's vision.

    Now there are hundreds of thousands more people, and in more than ten years, that will be hundreds of thousands!

    Seeing Liu Cong's success, the other princes finally couldn't sit still.

    First of all, Ma Teng from Xiliang gathered a large army in Chencang. I wonder what he is going to do?

    Cao Cao in the north suddenly issued a revolt against Liu Bei in Hanzhong. It was like a big earthquake.

    The last time Cao Cao sent his army southward, although he was defeated in Chibi and fell into the sand, the power that swept through Jingzhou was still fresh in the memory of the southern princes.

    Liu Bei only has one Hanzhong, can he stop him?

    If Liu Zhang was behind him, he could fight Cao Cao. However, Liu Bei was so despicable that he deceived Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses to gain territory for himself.  At this time, Liu Zhang not only had no intention of helping Liu Bei, but was dispatching troops and generals, most likely taking advantage of the situation.

    Jiangdong has also moved, and the movement is very loud. Yuzhang, Chaisang, and Chibi are all mobilizing troops and horses. Their goal is very clear, that is Jingzhou.

    But at this time, two more pieces of news came. Cao Cao's earliest counselor, Xun Yu, who was known by the world as a talented king and assistant, died of illness in Yecheng.  Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong, also suddenly fell seriously ill.

    After reading this information, Liu Cong started to think about it.

    Xun Yu died of illness, which is the same as the historical trajectory.  However, Zhou Yu was seriously ill, which was a bit unexpected.  Of course, in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhou Yu was already mad to death by Zhuge Liang at this time, but this is not the case in real history.

    "Cao Cao wants to seize Hanzhong?" Liu Cong thought for a moment. Historically, Cao Cao captured Hanzhong from Zhang Lu, but it was taken away by Liu Bei again.

    "My lord, if Cao Cao wants to seize Hanzhong, it will be difficult to succeed whether he attacks from Ziwu Valley or Xie Valley!" Fazheng disagreed with Cao Cao's decision, "Both of these places can use surprise troops but not serious troops. If  The prefect of Hanzhong was still Zhang Lu, who could win with his unexpected military skills, but now it is Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang is cautious with his troops, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are ten thousand enemies, so how can Cao Cao win?"

    "What Xiaozhi said is right, but I have some doubts. Cao Cao has many advisers. It is impossible for Jia Xu, Xun You, Liu Ye and others not to see this!"

    "Could it be that Cao Cao's target is not Liu Bei? Then does he want to attack Nanyang?" Fazheng frowned.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
