As far as the situation is concerned, unless there is an unstoppable force, there will not be much change.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the troops south, with more than enough garrisons and insufficient siege.

Zhou Yu, Han Dang and others were also more than well guarded and underattacked, while Zhuge Liang and Li Zheng were trapped in Chengyang City.

The simple grain can support more than a year.

And Guan Ping confronted Yan Yan in Zigui.

The number of cities in Jiangxia, as well as most of the cities in Nanjun, have been swallowed by Jiangdong.

It's a fact.

However, under the confrontation, the dark tide surged. The riots of the Guan family continued, savage and brutal, direct riots.

Nanyang County, Xinye, Wancheng, Guan Cao in the north of Jingzhou are still facing each other. But Cao Cao has gone back to the north, and those who remain in Wancheng are still Xiahoudun and Li Dian, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

The Cao family's strength in Wancheng is also more than enough to defend the city, and the attack is insufficient. Cao Cao no longer cared about the strife in the south, and Cao Cao's goal became Kansai, hoping to sweep away Kansai at a very fast speed and make himself worry-free.

In such a situation, it would not hurt to divide some soldiers and horses. Therefore, after Chen Zhi received the official document written by Yin Guan and stamped with the big seal by Guan Yu, he ordered a Sima under his command to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to go south through Zaoyang, Suizhou, and Anlu.

Jiangxia, Anlu area.

When Zhuge Liang occupied this part of Jiangxia, there were only three cities, namely Anlu, Suizhou, and Zaoyang, and later Zhuge Liang made a fortune in Zhou Yu's battle against Huangzu and plundered a lot of people.

When Cao Cao entered Jingzhou, the people either defected to Zhuge Liang or were plundered by Wang Wei and other naval troops, and the number was as large as a cow's hair.

Zhuge Liang ordered Jiang Wan to build a city on the north bank of the Yangtze River and get two cities. At present, Jiangxia under the jurisdiction of the Guan family has five cities, and there are also vast fields.

Jiang Wan stayed in these five cities as a long history, counted the population, and arranged spring ploughing, and the result was that the population was more than 300,000 and nearly 400,000.

And Jingzhou's Xiangyang, Nanjun and many other places have a very large population, but this year's spring ploughing has ended, which means that before next year's autumn harvest, the Guan family will not harvest a grain of grain in these places, and even because the people lack grain, so they have to subsidize a lot.

And the five cities in Jiangxia that Jiang Wan is currently actually under his management, plus the grain stocks of Fangling, Hanzhong, and Xinye, the grain produced this year will be an important source of rations for the next year or so.

There was a lot of pressure, but the Guanjia forces were confident that they would tide over the difficulties. After all, food is such a thing, and you can eat it for a longer time if you save it.

The rations of the people can be halved, and the rations of the soldiers can be reduced by two or three percent. But this will only work after driving out the Koto people.

At present, the places outside the five cities of Jiangxia are all large areas of fertile land that have been reclaimed, and the people have diligently opened pits out of the fields and planted rice with ploughing oxen, waterwheels, and new-style curved plows.

At this moment, the rice is already green, and the rice fields are full of busy people.

"Da !!" At this moment, a cavalry of about fifty people was galloping quickly on the main road towards Anlu, and the sound of horses' hooves was clear.

Surrounded by many cavalrymen, there was a fat man with a round face, who was fat, but strong and fat, and preferred to be strong rather than fat.

It's none other than Liao Hua.

Wang Wei, Huang Zhong, Liao Hua, and Ding Feng have already led the naval army back to the Anlu area to set up camp. The generals stayed in Shuizhai, and Liao Hua was sent out by Wang Wei and returned to Anlu to recruit soldiers.

Liao Hua rode his horse and galloped, and at the same time had time to look at the fertile fields and crops on both sides of the road, and nodded incessantly, thinking.

"Well, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and agriculture is in good order. This Jiang Gongyan did a good job. We will depend on this crop for next year's food. ”

Jiang Wan is a native of Lingling, Liao Hua is a native of Xiangyang, and their hometowns are very far apart, but Jiang Wan is mostly active in Xiangyang, and Liao Hua knows Jiang Wan.

Jingzhou Gang.

Soon after, Liao Hua led his cavalry to Anlu City. But the city was open, and many people went in and out of it. After all, this place has a very large population, and where there are many people, there are merchants and travelers.

However, because Jiangdong and the Guan family are still at war, although the city gate is open, there is a team of soldiers who are checking pedestrians.

Liao Hua led the fifty cavalry to move a lot, and was immediately stopped by the guards, and immediately after verifying the body, Liao Hua and his party were invited to turn over and dismount on foot.

So Liao Hua and the others led the horses and arrived at the Jiangxia County Shoufu.

Jiang Wan is currently in charge of the affairs of the county and works in the county guard's mansion. Jiang Wan heard that Liao Hua was coming, and couldn't help but come to the door to greet him in person.

"Jiang Changshi."

"General Liao."

Although the two have met, they are not very familiar with each other. It's just that they heard each other later, Liao Hua has a reputation for being lustful, and he also has a reputation for making money for Liu Yan.

And Jiang Wan is rarely famous, and he has made great contributions to the governance of Jiangxia this time, and he is an excellent person.

After seeing each other, there was a pleasant greeting. Jiang Wan invited Liao Hua into the study to talk. After sitting down, Liao Hua also said directly: "This time I returned to Jiangxia, but I couldn't stay in Nanjun." ”

Liao Hua roughly explained the situation, and then explained the purpose, and said: "Before leaving, Zhuge Jiangxia asked us to recruit troops in the Anlu area, and please also expand the military power of Chen Lan and Lei Xu, the two generals, to prepare for the next big battle, and by the way, I also came to ask for military rations." Please also ask Jiang Changshi to take care of him. ”

Liao Hua didn't expect an accident in this matter, because Jiangxia had food. Last year, Cao Cao went south, and all the grain outside Xinye City was burned.

But Zhuge Liang rescued all the grain in Jiangxia.

Although the current strength is a bit large, Anlu's current food should still be sufficient.

But Jiang Wan showed a little embarrassment, Liao Hua couldn't help touching his round belly, and said suspiciously: "Jiang Changshi, is there any difficulty?" ”

Jiang Wan nodded, he found a piece of silk cloth on the desk, got up and handed it to Liao Hua, and said: "The lord ordered Chen Lan and Lei Xu to increase their troops to five or six thousand each, and sent five thousand elite soldiers from General Chen Zhi, and also appointed me as a captain to lead five or six thousand troops. ”

This command has overlapped.

Zhuge Liang asked Wang Wei and other sailors to increase their troops to 22,000 people, and ordered Chen Lan and Lei Xu to increase their troops to 5,000 or 6,000 each. And throwing away the overlapping order, Jiang Wan recruited five or six thousand troops with the captain of Changshi, and Chen Zhi sent five thousand elite soldiers over.

When Liao Hua saw this order, he also bared his teeth.

Wait, the brain is a little messy.

Let me take a look.

The navy increased its troops to 22,000 people, Chen Lan and Lei Xu increased their troops to 11,000 people, Jiang Wan led the captain with Changshi 5,600 people, and Chen Zhi sent 5,000 or 6,000 people.

The strength of the Anlu area suddenly increased to a terrifying forty or fifty thousand people.

These 40,000 or 50,000 people are still real, at least 45,000 people.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of these newly recruited soldiers and veterans is much worse. But the belly is the same, and there are about 45,000 mouths that need to eat at once, so it's no wonder that Jiang Wan is embarrassed.

However, Jiang Wan is still Jiang Wan in the end, which Shu and Han four phases in history, Zhuge Liang is often outside, he has enough soldiers and food inside, and he is by no means a talent of a hundred miles.

Jiang Wan gritted his teeth and said: "General Liao, don't worry, it's easy to recruit troops, at present, Jiangxia has a large population, and the people have a lot of grain stocks, and the grain can be scraped together if you want to find a way." ”

Liao Hua suddenly relieved that the army would have problems if there was no food. Especially now when you have to rely on soldiers to fight.

Jiang Wan's ability, he can still rest assured.

After putting this matter aside, Liao Hua couldn't help but think of the future.

Although he is lustful, no matter how hard he tries, he can't lose fat, and he is a strong fat man. But I haven't read a lot of military books over the years, and I have a good talent.

At present, Yin Guan is in Xiangyang, Chen is in Xinye, Guan Yu is confronting Zhou Yu and others in Nanjun, Guan Ping is in Zigui, Zhuge Liang is trapped in Chengyang, and Jiang Wan is in Anlu.

The parties are not very connected to each other.

That's why Zhuge Liang asked Wang Wei, Chen Lan, Lei Xu and others to increase their troops, and Yin Guan ordered Chen Lan and Lei Xu to increase their troops.

The Guan family fully trusts the talents of all aspects of the personnel. But in the tube, everyone thinks the same thing, a large number of troops.

Anlu is the top priority of the troop increase.

Moreover, Chen Dao's soldiers and horses were among the most elite soldiers and horses of the Guan family in Jingzhou, and more than 5,000 people were also dispatched.

Why is that?

Of course, it is necessary to cross the river to fight Exian and Xiling.

The geographical location of the north and south Jiangxia is equally important.

An Lu in the northern Jiangxia is in the hands of the Guan family, so let's not mention it for the time being. Jiangxia in the south, Changsha in the south is a mountain range, not easy to march, Jiangdong people will have a lot of baggage, grain are stationed in Exian County.

Because it is not easy to march in the south, no matter whether the Jiangdong people are advancing or retreating, as long as they take the land route, they need to pass through Xiling and Exian.

This is currently the most important place in Gangdong except for Gangneung Fortress and Yougangkou.

And now the Guan family has not only dispatched elite soldiers and strong generals, but also increased its troops. It should have been planned to send elite troops to forcibly cross the river when Ma Liang moved, attack Exian and Xiling, and threaten the Jiangdong people.

When Ma Liang moves, the situation in Jingnan will be like a boil, and it will be out of control. If the back road is cut off again, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The Jiangdong people will inevitably return to the army to rescue, in that case, the Jiangdong people will definitely not be able to hold the Nanjun and other places that they have eaten so far, and they will all vomit out.

If you do it well, you may be able to eat a lot of troops from the Jiangdong people.

This is the reason why Yin Guan, Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan and others are arranged, constantly increasing their troops in Jiangxia, and they need to have elites.

Of course, there are risks in forcibly crossing the river, and there are still 30,000 sailors of Zhuge Jin, Zhu Zhi, and Zhu Ran in the area of Exian and Xiling, and there is enough food.

A big war is indispensable. Not to mention the more than 5,000 elite soldiers under Chen Zhi's command.

And Liao Hua also understood that the big war would have to be at least after October, because the recruits needed to be recruited, trained, and at least three or five months before they could be barely used.

After the autumn harvest, there will inevitably be a big war.

Thinking of this, Liao Hua couldn't sit still. He stood up and said to Jiang Wan: "Please also ask Jiang Changshi to give me the paperwork, and I will go and ask the officials to cooperate and recruit soldiers." ”

"Okay." Jiang Wan was as good as a stream, immediately wrote a document, and personally took Liao Hua to meet the relevant officials.

Anlu, the riot mode in the Jiangxia area has begun.

And this is just the first step in the mode of the domestic thug.
