"In addition to Hanzhong, Jiujiang and Guangling also need to be careful of Jiangdong to respond to Liu Bei, I wonder if the main public water army can be placed in Jiujiang?" Xu Shu asked.

"This time the main attack on Jingzhou is to show the navy in advance, he will capture Jiangdong in the future, but it will make the enemy army prepared, and it is not easy for the navy to appear before taking Nanjun." Chen Mo shook his head when he heard this.

"In this way, we can only strengthen the first-line defense of Jiujiang and Guangling, and if Jiangdong still wants to intervene, we can only send troops from Jiangxia, Changsha and other places to help Liu Bei." Xu Shu nodded.

Yang Xiu suddenly asked: "Brother Yuan, is there a way to make Sun Liu lose peace, if there is a conflict between the two families, only Liu Bei's family remains, with the advantage of my court's soldiers, why not win?" ”

Xu Shu shook his head: "Sun Quan and Liu Bei are both heroes, if they don't fight, it is still possible to rebel against the two families, but if there is a war, no matter what the previous suspicions are, they will be unanimous to the outside world, and their lips are cold, Dezu should understand, they understand better." ”

It's really a war, unless one family is willing to surrender, it is impossible to separate, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, even if they have a grudge against their father, they must be united when facing Chen Mo, Chen Mo has not thought about it in recent years, but he has not made any achievements, Sima Yi even tried to go to Jiangdong to recruit a few Jiangdong generals and returned in vain, not to mention Chen Mo, Sima Yi can't look down on it, more powerful, don't care about you at all, what can you do?

"Wang, don't hide it, I have a friend, who is a friend of Zhou Yu when he was young, and he has a good relationship with Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu is a person who holds the military power in Jiangdong, if he can make this person surrender, he can flank Jingzhou." Yang Xiu smiled.

"Oh?" Chen Mo's eyes lit up when he heard this, Zhou Yu's friend must not be a simple person, it is impossible to persuade Zhou Yu, but it is also good to be able to get a talent, and he smiled at the moment: "Who is this?" ”

"It's a famous man in Jiujiang, Jiang Gan." Yang Xiu smiled and said: "This person is known for his talent and debate, he is unique in Jianghuai, and now he is working in Honglu Temple. ”

"Jiang Gan?" Chen Mo nodded and said, "Since he is in Luoyang, it doesn't hurt to send him to meet him." ”

Nowadays, the promotion of official positions in the imperial court needs to speak of political performance, and it is not possible to be promoted if you are talented, and Jiang Gan can now be promoted to Honglu Temple, which is not bad.

"Whoa!" Yang Xiu nodded, and hurriedly asked people to find Jiang Gan.

Everyone continued to discuss the matter of sending troops, Jiujiang still needs to send some more troops, as for the generals, Chen Mo feels that there are actually a lot of generals in the Jiujiang area, but there is no need to increase, in terms of troops, the elite soldiers are trapped in the camp, and Han Qiong has left there 20,000 soldiers, plus Chen Jin's Tuntian soldiers who have come out of the isolated island over the years, it is enough to deal with it, in terms of generals, Chen Mo feels that Xu Zhen and Guo Huai are good, and Deng Ai is also there, and Gao Shun is in charge, just send one or two thousand troops to defend various important places, and he is not ready to attack Jiangdong directly, There is no need to send too many troops, it is a waste, and his son now has the ability to take charge on his own.

Soon, Jiang Gan came to the palace and was led in by Yang Xiu.

"Jiang Gan see the king!" Jiang Gan saw Chen Mo and bowed.

"Not bad." Chen Mo looked at Jiang Gan, smiled and nodded, at least he was well-groomed, he talked generously, and he didn't have that kind of feeling of being submissive, he made people feel good at first sight, and then looked at the number of fates, he was indeed a talent, although he was not amazing, but the talent was enough.

"Fang Cai Dezu Yan, Ziyi is familiar with that Zhou Lang?" Chen Mo looked at Jiang Gan and smiled.

"Childhood friends, but haven't seen each other in years." Jiang Gan shook his head and said.

"Now that I want to attack Jingzhou, you may persuade Zhou Yu to persuade Sun Quan not to join the war?" Chen Mo asked with a smile, as for persuading Zhou Yu to surrender, Chen Mo didn't mention it at all, if Zhou Yu really came to surrender, maybe Chen Mo would have to wonder if there was some conspiracy.

"I haven't seen Gongjin for many years, and I don't dare to promise the king, but I'm willing to give it a try." Jiang Gan bowed.

"Then let's go and give it a try, whether it succeeds or not, wait for me in Nanyang when I come back!" Chen Mo nodded, he didn't do a big deal, but it made people feel down-to-earth.

"Whoa!" Jiang Gan agreed, and when he saw that he had nothing to do, he bowed down and retired.

"Your Majesty, this ......" Yang Xiu looked at Jiang Gan who left in a daze, a little embarrassed, after all, he had boasted that Jiang Gan could persuade Zhou Yu to surrender, but now in front of Chen Mo, Jiang Gan couldn't even persuade Jiang Dong not to join the war, which made Yang Xiu puzzled and a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's good to be down-to-earth." Chen Mo waved his hand indifferently, he didn't expect any results, this time the preparation was even Jiangdong, otherwise if Jiangdong really didn't participate in the war, why would he mobilize 200,000 troops to go south?

Yang Xiu had no choice but to nod and sit down on his knees again, but he felt that he was a little out of place with these people, obviously if he talked about learning, even Sima Yi was inferior to himself, but why did he think about many things and feel that he was from two worlds?

Chen Mo doesn't care what Yang Xiu thinks, the two are of the same age, Yang Xiu's problem, Chen Mo is very clear, talking about it, Chen Mo may not have talked about him, but if you think about people's hearts, looking at the overall situation, Yang Xiu is much worse, this has nothing to do with learning, and Chen Mo didn't find a suitable path for Yang Xiu, so he has been working under Chen Mo, not to mention the rest, in dealing with official documents, Yang Xiu can be regarded as a peerless talent, Jia Xu, Xun You, Xu Shu, and Sima Yi are not as fast as him.

What made Chen Mo speechless the most was that Jia Xu took the lead in praising Yang Xiu, making Yang Xiu more and more energetic in this regard, and now ninety percent of the copywriting work in the palace is on his head, Chen Mo has the heart to mention it, but seeing that he is tired of it, he gave up this idea.

"Lord, even if Liu Bei enters Sichuan, Jingzhou will leave heavy troops to defend, not to mention the rest, even if we occupy Xinye now, but the two cities of Xiangfan are also quite difficult to break, there is a Han River barrier, the two cities of Xiangfan are connected, and it is quite difficult for our army to break through these two cities." Wei Yan had been in Jingzhou and knew the topography of Xiangfan best.

Chen Mo nodded, these two cities of Xiangfan are the first pass for them to attack Jingzhou, this pass cannot be won, and it is also vain to further capture Jingzhou.

"This matter will be said in Jingzhou, now the plan has been decided, Wuyi led an army of 40,000 to receive Hanzhong, and sent another 20,000 soldiers and horses to Jiujiang to prevent Jiangdong from attacking and harassing, and the rest of the generals will follow me to lead the 160,000 Ma Bu army to Jingzhou, Wenhe and Dezu, you two stay in Luoyang, deal with government affairs, Gongda, Zhongda with the army, Yuan Zhi also serves as the Taishou of Hanzhong, to assist Wuyi in raising grain and grass, if there is an opportunity, he will enter Shu." Chen Mo opened his mouth and commanded, Xiangfan is difficult to fight, but it can't be stopped because of this, as for how to fight, you have to wait until you get to Nanyang.

"The last general commands!" Everyone got up one after another to answer the order, and this time they went out, except for the border generals under Chen Mo's command, basically all the famous ones were dispatched.

Next, all kinds of grain and grass were continuously sent to Nanyang, and at the same time, all kinds of soldiers and horses were also transferred to Nanyang from all over the country to assemble, Chen Mo in addition to the new army, but also selected 30,000 veterans to accompany the expedition, the actual southward soldiers and horses 190,000 people, throughout these years of conquest, this time, I am afraid that Chen Mo gathered the most soldiers and horses, for Jingzhou, Chen Mo is bound to win.

The frequent mobilization of soldiers and horses in the Central Plains naturally could not hide the eyes of Jiangdong and Jingzhou, and soon, the two places received urgent reports.

Jiangdong, Moling, Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu with a somewhat solemn face: "Gong Jin, this time Chen Mo waved his troops south, although he intended to go south in Jingzhou, but if Jingzhou is broken, it will be difficult for me Jiangdong to protect myself, Gong Jin thinks that Chen Mo sent troops this time, so can Jingzhou stop it?" ”

Zhou Yu was much more indifferent, shook his head and said, "It's difficult!" ”

"No chance of winning?" Sun Quan frowned.

"Lord, this time Chen Mo sent troops, claiming to be 500,000 to the outside world, although it is not true, but as far as the news from all parties is concerned, 200,000 is enough, although Liu Xuande has been a soldier over the years, but there are only three counties in Jingzhou, how many soldiers and horses are there? The strength is not enough to compete, in addition, after Chen Mo took the Central Plains, he did not take advantage of the situation to go south, giving Liu Bei a chance to breathe, but because of this, many hidden dangers within Chen Mo were also eliminated. Zhou Yu sighed.

"Oh?" Sun Quan was curious when he heard this: "Chen Mo also has hidden dangers? ”

"Naturally." Zhou Yu nodded and said: "The foundation is unstable, when Chen Cao fought for the Central Plains, the Son of Heaven in Luoyang had intended to seize power, but was stopped by Chen Mo's subordinates in time, but as long as the Luoyang Imperial Court is still there, Chen Mo has worries, and moreover, although there are many soldiers and horses under Chen Mo at that time, many of them are the Central Plains army, and there must be contradictions between them. Of the three, the Central Plains has been fighting for a long time, the army and the people are tired of war, Chen Mo seems to be sweeping, but in fact, once he is frustrated, the general trend will inevitably reverse. ”

Sun Quan's heart sank a little when he heard this, these problems, Chen Mo has been uprooted one by one over the years, he was crowned King of Ming, and drove the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, which seems to be delegating power, but in fact it is completely emptying the Son of Heaven, although he still respects the Han Dynasty, but who still knows the Son of Heaven in the Central Plains now? Who else cares about the decree of the Son of Heaven? Today, the land of the Central Plains is basically ruled by the Ming king.

And Chen Mo has also been fighting in the army over the years, and the miscellaneous army in the past, after all these years of running-in, has become the same, and there is no longer a difference between surrendering the army.

The three points that Zhou Yu said have been eliminated by Chen Mo in these years, and now Chen Mo is really terrifying, this time he will go south, it will inevitably be thunderous, so it is indeed impossible for Liu Bei to stop it.

"And." Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan and said: "This time Chen Mo is in trouble without warning, there must be something wrong in Jingzhou, and the last general thinks that maybe Liu Bei may not be in Jingzhou now!" ”

"Not in Jingzhou?" Sun Quan was stunned when he heard this: "Then where is he?" ”

"Nishikawa!" Zhou Yu said in a deep voice.

Sun Quan's face suddenly sank, if this is the case, then this Liu Bei is really damned!

"Lord, now that Chen Mo is waving his army south, no matter what Liu Bei does, his lips are cold and his teeth are cold, Yu thinks that at this time, our army cannot sit back and watch Liu Bei fall!" Zhou Yu said in a deep voice.

The truth is this, but Sun Quan is a little angry in his heart!
