However, Cao Cao did not blindly wait for the observation and did nothing. He has set up fine works in Jiangdong and Jingxiang. And not one or two, but a large batch. These people infiltrate several key areas south of the Yangtze River, covering what he believes will need to be conquered in the future.

He used these people to closely monitor the situation in Jiangnan, and when necessary, he could also incite the local people** and create chaos against the squire.

Changsha originally had it, but when Zhou Yu came to attack for the first time, most of them were eliminated by Kou Yan, and the rest was much safer. Those parts that were eliminated left Changsha and quickly dispersed into Guiyang, Wuling and Lingling.

These three counties are nominally under the rule of Liu Biao, but in fact they have long been fighting against Xiangyang, relying on the high mountains and the emperor Yuan, each with a small abacus. Therefore, the three places are all mixed with fish and dragons, and the forces of all parties are entrenched in them, and the characters of the three religions and nine streams gather.

There are not only the fine works of the north, but also the fine works of Soochow, and even the fine works of Xinye. For their different purposes, they are all eyeing Changsha City. In addition, Kou Yan had very strict control over the border areas between Changsha and the three places after the war, and the other three counties felt that after Kou Yan came, they lost some of their gray interests.

Many of the above factors are superimposed in many ways, which directly points to a result. It is on the edge of Changsha County, whether it is Jiangdong or Jingzhou, surrounded by hungry wolves who salivate, waiting to look at this piece of fat, ready to pounce on it at any time and grab it madly.

Jianchang, when the wind was roaring in the dusk, Kou Yan sat in the study of the Taishou Mansion, and the wind was surrounded by the cloudy wind, like a thorn in his back. There is no way, this is the troubled times, the troubled times of the jungle. Changsha is such a tragedy, it is always passively beaten, this is to suffer two military disasters a year, the common people are even more hungry for Jiangdong Love Road, and even the original Wu residents of Jianchang and Haidug are brought love.

In Kou Yan's ears, some discordant voices gradually appeared, asking for more troops to build Chang and clear the wilderness. When necessary, strike first, clear out a group of aborigines, and send their own people to defend the city.

Kou Yan heard the voice, but she was unexpectedly determined. resolutely disagreed with the exchange of blood for Jianchang, and insisted on using aborigines to guard Jianchang. For this decision, she met with Huang Zhong no less than 20 times, and finally persuaded Huang Zhong to entrust the defense of Jianchang City to Wei Yan and Ma Tong. Give them absolute trust.

To implement Xu Shu's strategy, there is a very important premise, that is, to trust Wei Yan and Ma Tong to be able to stick to the defense and attract and hold back Chaisang's large army. In this case, even if Changsha's army was found on the way to Changsha, except for Zhou Yu's army, there would be no time for the army of Eastern Wu to intercept them.

The question is here, can the army under Wei Yan, coupled with Ma Tong's civil and administrative methods, guarantee to hold on? Kou Yan has no bottom in his heart.

However, she couldn't help but admit that if the teacher's plan went smoothly, Zhou Yu would most likely be killed. According to the news sent back by the spies, Zhou Yu is now training the naval army in Poyang, and there is not a single infantry or cavalry around him except for a dozen henchmen.

Even if they came down the river to support Chaisang, their combat effectiveness was not enough to fear. What's more, the teacher's request is to attack Zhai Sang with all his might. The so-called do your best, that means that Huang Zhong may personally lead the troops. In this case, what other city in the world cannot be attacked?

Thinking about it along this line of thought, Kou Yan felt that he was determined again, the best result was to occupy two cities, and the worst result was to keep a city, if there was really no Jianchang, the result of taking Chaisang would not be bad.

Of course, her psychological price is that she would rather keep Jianchang in ruins than Chai Sang intact. But now that the plan was made like this, and everything was done, she could only use this self-soothing thought to calm her nervous heart.

But fortunately, Sun Quan's side still pinned his hopes on Lu Su's diplomatic efforts. Although the three counties were ordered to exert pressure at the same time, they did not really mobilize troops to attack for a long time. The air in Jianchang City has always been tense, but it does not feel suffocating.

Time passed day by day, Kou Yan gradually calmed down, a few days of tense arrangements to suspend agricultural work, changed to large-scale military training, peacetime turned to wartime, Changsha City in and out of the city gate of the inventory of several times stricter than before.

However, with the experience of the last war, the people have fully accepted these necessary security measures, and most of them have taken the initiative to cooperate. Those who did not cooperate with all kinds of clamors had already been invited into prison and squatted, and Huang Zhong would grasp this kind of proportion very well.

When Kou Yan knew that Huang Zhong had detained Lu Su in the army, he gave him a thumbs up, this trick won her heart, and she should ask him to endure hardships when she treats this kind of person with eyes on the door of his head and nostrils for looking at people. The ancient law stipulates that the two armies will not fight each other.

According to Kou Yan's original idea, when Lu Su was released, he would either cut off his ears or his fingers, and in short, he would leave some souvenirs. Now Huang Zhong has deducted the whole person, which can be regarded as overfulfilling the task.

Just when Changsha City was loose and tight, Wu County, Sun Quan's residence, Sun Quan was in a meeting with his premier. Recently, Sun Quan has been in a very bad mood, since the news of Sun Shao's defection to Changsha spread in Wu County, Sun Quan began to be unable to sleep at night.

He claimed that Sun Shao was captured by the Changsha people as a prisoner when he went out to play, but the eyes of the masses were bright, and Kou Yan had taken Sun Shao everywhere in such a high-profile manner before, and all kinds of theories flew all over the realm of Dongwu like wings.

Sun Quan hated that Sun Shao would appear in front of him immediately and let him pinch him to death, and he hated that Da Qiao would be executed now, but Da Qiao's wicked man sued first, and went to his mother-in-law to cry and beg, begging his mother-in-law to make decisions for herself and get her son back.

The future Wu Guotai knew in his heart that this was the eldest daughter-in-law making a show, but he couldn't expose her. She saw the younger son's mistreatment of her nephew and kept silent, so she couldn't blame the eldest daughter-in-law for finding a way for her son for being a mistake.

Sun Quan hated in his heart, and he couldn't help but make a promise on his face that he would definitely bring Sun Shao's good arms and legs back. In fact, the subtext in his heart was that he hated that Sun Shao would die abroad, and it would be good if there were no bones.

Calculating the time, Lu Su has been to Changsha for a few days, and he has not seen a turnaround, Sun Quan is uncertain, and he has asked the ministers to discuss countermeasures. There are those who say that the troops will be mobilized, and there are also those who say that the battle to clear and suppress Shanyue has just ended, and the army needs to rest, digest the Shanyue prisoners, and restore agricultural affairs, so it is not suitable to move troops at this time.
