In the face of Liu Biao's threat, Huang Zu's intervention, Cai Mao and others were very embarrassed.

But they were really unwilling to send troops to cause Guo Peng's anger, so they had to compromise and compromise with Liu Biao.

They chose to support Liu Biao and chose to move the Jingzhou administrative office to Jiangling and establish a new capital in Jiangling.

Liu Biao was overjoyed, feeling that he had finally won once, and decided to make persistent efforts to reduce some of the constraints around him, so he appointed Cai Mao to guard Xiangyang as the general of Zhennan.

"Xiangyang is an important town, the terrain is important, and there can be no loss, once Xiangyang is lost, the north of Xiangyang is no longer owned by Jingzhou."

Liu Biao held Cai Mao's hand with emotion on his face, handed over this arduous task to Cai Mao, and then took Huang Zhong to Jiangling himself.

He asked Huang Zhong to deploy defenses in the Jiangling area, and activated Gan Ning, a general from Yizhou who had been suppressed and depressed before, and appointed him as the commander of Yicheng County, and also the post of captain to command the army to guard Yicheng.

After many years of silence and depression, Gan Ning finally got a place to use it, and he was very happy.

And Cai Mao was not happy.

On the surface, he gave himself military power and let himself guard Xiangyang, which was reused, but this clearly showed that he was transferred away from the core of power.

Putting himself in Xiangyang, Liu Biao brought the center of power to Jiangling, and from then on, if something happened to Jiangling, he was no longer the first to know and could discuss with Liu Biao, and his decision-making power was taken away in this way, to put it mildly.

This is the most obvious political exile, even fools can see it, can Cai Mao still see it?

Although Kuai Yue was left, it seems that Liu Biao did not have no complaints about their many delays, and he still took them to heart for their repeated uncooperative and repeated refusal to give Liu Biao his automatic behavior.

No, when you get the chance, you start to retaliate.

Cai Mao is also helpless, but there is no way, who will let Liu Biao or the lord?

People come to this hand openly, you really can't help it, is it possible to resist, and then let Jiangxia Huangzu get benefits?

Liu Biao slipped away, easily squeezed Cai Mao out of the power core, left Cai Mao in Xiangyang to continue to deal with Huang Zu, and then settled down in Jiangling, collected a group of people who could be used, and finally could sleep and rest peacefully.

And Cai Mao was very depressed.

It is very uncomfortable not to follow Liu Biao to Jiangling, and not to continue to control Jingzhou politics.

But having said that, he doesn't feel any pity, although he has lost the power of the central government, but once Guo Peng goes south, he can directly dedicate Nanyang and Xiangyang to Guo Peng together with Zhang Yun, so that Guo Peng can effortlessly go south to Jiangling to attack Nanjun.

However, Jingzhou is not without obstacles, and Huang Zu is a big obstacle.

This family is famous, relying on someone in the family who has held important positions in the court for decades, he thinks he is noble, and he has always looked down on Guo Peng as the son of the county order, although Guo Peng is powerful, he still does not change his deep contempt.

Cai Mao thought it was very interesting, and felt that if Guo Peng's army came to the city, he didn't know if Huang Zu would be able to maintain his "high wind and bright festival".

Cai's and Kuai's backgrounds are no worse than Huang's, but they still do their best to serve Guo Peng and surrender to Guo Peng, so many families in the Central Plains are better than Guo Peng's background, can you see that they resist him because they look down on Guo Peng's background?

Yes, but they were all swept away by Guo Peng.

Just a Jiangxia, want to compete with the entire Guo Wei regime?

Huang Zu, are you stupid?

Cai Mao didn't understand what Huang Zu thought anyway, but Huang Zu was indeed a fool now, because Sun Ce, his biggest heart disease, had died, and he was really happy.

Sun Ce is really fierce, swept Jiangdong in a short period of time, and his reputation is great, if it weren't for Guo Peng's power being too strong, the emperor is dead, and the situation in the world has changed greatly, so that the three major forces in Jiangnan must work together to resist the enemy, otherwise Huang Zu feels that his biggest enemy now must be Sun Ce.

Sun Ce will definitely lead troops to attack Jiangxia.

Now that Sun Ce is dead, and his younger brother Sun Quan is on the throne, that's what he said, but the surging tide of rebellion in Jiangdong, Huang Zu's scalp was numb when he saw it, and he didn't know how Sun Quan dealt with it as a young man.

Oh, it is said that Zhou Yu, the governor of Wu State, is coping.

Zhou Yu is also a fierce man, in such a situation, he is stunned to support the crisis in Jiangdong, make up for the shortcomings, and go to extinguish the fire wherever the fire starts, which can be regarded as a matter of dedication and death.

Without Zhou Yu, Huang Zu dared to guarantee that Sun Wu's regime would collapse within three months.

Now Zhou Yu is making up for the gaps and putting out fires everywhere, and it is estimated that he can still hold on.

Huang Zu was thinking, should such a good opportunity be let go in vain?

Guo Peng's strength is strong, relying only on a Jingzhou, relying on a Jingzhou where the civil and military are all ghosts, obviously there is no good end, if he can't expand his territory and increase his strength as soon as possible, when Guo Peng really goes south, won't it be over?

Huang Zu then wrote a letter to Liu Biao before, admonishing Liu Biao to implement the strategy of going south, that is, to open up living space to the south, and crusade against Shanyue, bandits, and Wuxi barbarians to obtain soldiers, population, and resources.

After Liu Biao learned about it, he hesitated, and it was not until Hanzhong was conquered, the Jiangnan defense line was no longer complete, and Guo Peng completely occupied the initiative, Liu Biao realized that perhaps the Jianghan Plain was not so easy to defend.

It is necessary to start operating Jingzhou to the south and leave a way back for yourself.

When necessary, it is a very effective strategy to retreat to the south of the river, rely on the Yangtze River for defense, abandon the northern part of Jingzhou, and surrender the four counties of Wuling, Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang.

However, the population of the four counties is small, poor and weak, and they cannot support Liu Biao's strategy, Liu Biao is having a headache, and Huang Zu's suggestion coincides with him.

Although what Huang Zu wanted to do was to take advantage of the Jiangdong chaos and send troops south to seize Yuzhang County and Luling County, it was not a wrong decision for Liu Biao to go south to open up the four counties of Jingnan.

After considering his own ideas and Huang Zu's suggestion, Liu Biao ordered Huang Zu's son Huang Biao to be the general of Pingnan Zhonglang, and led his troops to Jiangling to meet Liu Biao, and then Liu Biao gathered a force here, and the two armies were combined to go south to the four counties of Jingnan together, crusade against the barbarians, Shanyue thieves, etc., in order to obtain more population resources.

Under the pressure of the northern powers, Yizhou and Jingzhou both made the same decision.

Since the road to the north is basically impassable, it is necessary to turn around and attack southward to crusade against the barbarians and thieves, obtain more resources to make up for the losses of the previous war, and accumulate additional in case of emergency.

Anyway, neither Liu Zhang nor Liu Biao planned to surrender Guo Peng at all, it was impossible.

Although I dare not say that I am the emperor, the status of the emperor of the soil will never be compromised!

Compared with Jingzhou and Yizhou, which are still in a relatively stable state, Jiangdong is really a purgatory Shura field.

There were battles every day, people died every day, displaced people and refugees were everywhere, and at the beginning the stable order did not exist, except for Wu County, there were few stable places.

Zhou Yu did his best to keep Wu County as the base camp of Wu State, and then Wu Jing and Sun Jing's armies fought against the rebels in Huiji County and Danyang County respectively, and Zhou Yu himself sat in the center to ensure the security of the central government, and at the same time uprooted the centrifugal forces within Wu County one by one.

Those who had connections with the outside and tried to unite outsiders to attack the Sun Wu regime, Zhou Yu did not hesitate to send troops to attack and wipe out his family.

Under such an iron-blooded blow, Wu Jun barely settled down.
