After receiving Yuan Shu's order, Yuan Yao did not dare to delay, and took Li Ye, Wei Yan, Yu She, Qi Ji, Qin Yi, Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Sun Kang and the thief soldiers who still had more than 2,000 people left to leave Xiapi, first returned to Runan, and then prepared to go south.

This attack on Sun Jian's forces was launched by Yuan Shu of Xuzhou all the way to attract Sun Jian's main attention, and then Yuan Yao launched an offensive against Jiangxia in Jingzhou, and after taking Jiangxia, he took advantage of the situation to enter the land of Jiangdong and lay the victory.

Therefore, when the first fight started in Xuzhou, but Yuan Yao's Jingzhou road could not be delayed for too long, so in fact, there was not much time left for Yuan Yao, he needed to go to Runan first to bring a few important people, and then go south to Nanyang and Jingzhou to organize the army to fight, and wait for the opportunity to quickly take Jiangxia.

This time, Yuan Shu handed over the position of commander of Jingzhou all the way to Yuan Yao, on the one hand, it was a recognition of Yuan Yao, and on the other hand, it was also a tempering of Yuan Yao, wanting to see if Yuan Yao could do a good job in the position of commander.

A few days later, Yuan Yao and his entourage, who had marched all the way, finally arrived at Pingyu, looking at the huge wall of Pingyu City, Yuan Yao smiled, and Li Ye, who was beside Yuan Yao, closed his eyes slightly, and used the power of his soul to feel the fortified city of Pingyu in a special way.

In Li Ye's perception, Pingyu City at this time was like a sleeping giant beast, containing an endless aura of danger, as if as long as someone provoked this sleeping giant beast, unimaginable disasters would erupt.

Pingyu City may not be the first strong city among Yuan Shu's forces, compared to Wancheng and Xiapi City, but Pingyu City has a special position in Yuan Shu's heart, because Pingyu is the center of Yuzhou, and the main forces of the Yuan family in Runan are concentrated in Yuzhou, so Yuan Shu's control over Pingyu is the most solid in the control of many cities under his command.

It is precisely for this reason that Yuan Shu attaches great importance to Pingyu, and after occupying Yuzhou, Yuan Shu has worked the defense system of Pingyu City, and finally Yuan Shu also created a huge, powerful and powerful protective array for Pingyu City. was built by Yuan Shu in this way, and the current Pingyu City can also be said to be one of the top ten fortified cities in the world.

After stepping into Pingyu City, Yuan Yao did not stay in Pingyu City for long, although this city now has a lot of things worth Yuan Yao to miss, but Yuan Yao knows that the current Yuan Shu may launch an attack on Yangzhou at any time, and he must go to Jingzhou as soon as possible to integrate his troops and horses, so that he can launch an attack on Jiangxia at any time.

Therefore, Yuan Yao only stayed in Pingyu City for three days, and after three days, Yuan Yao took his troops and horses from the headquarters left in Pingyu with Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Huo Du, Huo Jun, and Pei Yuanshao to prepare to go south, and this time in order to be able to quickly take Jiangxia, Yuan Yao also brought Huang Zhong, Wen Ping, Liu Ye and Xiang Lang.

Huang Zhong and Wen Ping are both from Jingzhou, and their reputations in Jingzhou are not small, and having these two people take the lead will be a great help to attack Jiangxia.

Liu Ye is a great talent, this time Yuan Yao brought Liu Ye is also ready to let Liu Ye give advice for himself, although Yuan Yao already has a Li Ye by his side, but as the so-called listening is clear, partial listening is dark, Yuan Yaoke doesn't want to listen to Li Ye alone, at this time, bringing Liu Ye can check and balance Li Ye, secondly, it can also allow Liu Ye to brush a wave of qualifications, and thirdly, Yuan Yao also hopes to label Liu Ye with his own label.

Liu Ye naturally knows Yuan Yao's purpose, he is also one of the top sages in the world, although he is not as good as those who stand at the peak, but he is not bad.

As for Xiang Lang, he represents the Jingzhou family, this time Yuan Yao wants to take Jiangxia, maybe he will use the power of the Jingzhou family, so bringing Xiang Lang is also to let those Jingzhou families or Jiangxia families have an example, knowing that it is also a good choice to take refuge in Yuan Shu, at least now Xiang Lang and the Xiang family behind him are living very well.

Brought all the people who should have been brought, Yuan Yao didn't pay much attention to Pingyu, and soon led the troops south, and when passing through Nanyang, Yuan Yao originally wanted to kidnap Xiahoulan, after all, Xiahoulan is also a statue of Ninggang Realm, and it has a lot of relationship with the Divine Spear Pavilion, and he is also a strong combat force with him.

However, considering the importance of Nanyang, Yuan Yao did not take Xiahoulan away, but let Xiahoulan stay in Nanyang, and sat in Nanyang with Yang Hong, Li Yan, Chen Chi and others, ensuring that the largest county in the world was always in their hands. It is also thanks to the fact that the current Hanzhong and Sili side have no interest in Nanyang, otherwise with the topography of Nanyang, there would have been many wars.

Moreover, the lineup that Yuan Yao wants to bring to Jingzhou this time is not weak, and there are two people in the Void Soul Realm on the Wenchen side, Li Ye and Liu Ye, and both of them are top wise men, and they are proficient in governing the government and the army. In terms of military generals, those who have reached the realm of condensation include Huang Zhong, Yu She, Wei Yan, Zang Ba, Wen Ping and others, and the strength of the rest such as Liao Hua and Zhou Cang is not weak. Moreover, Jingzhou also has Pan Feng, Xun Yan, Hu Zhao, Sha Moke, Xiangtu and other Condensation Gang Realm or Void Soul Realm, in terms of the number of strong people who have cultivated to reach the Condensation Gang Realm and the Void Soul Realm, this time Yuan Yao can use even more soldiers and horses than Yuan Shu's way, and this is not counting Yuan Yao who is holding the God List and the Divine Whip.

After leaving the boundary of Nanyang, Yuan Yao and his entourage of nearly 10,000 people arrived outside Xiangyang City, this time counting the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized in Jingzhou, the number of soldiers and horses that Yuan Yao can use is nearly 50,000, including 30,000 army and 20,000 sailors.

Although few of the people left in Jingzhou by Yuan Shu were real commanders of the navy, but the people of Jingzhou themselves were born with the seedlings of the navy, after knowing the importance of the navy in the southern operation, Pan Feng began to set up a navy, although in terms of combat effectiveness, the newly formed Jingzhou navy was far inferior to the Jiangdong navy, but it was not enough to let the Jingzhou waterway be controlled by the Jiangdong navy.

The gate of Xiangyang City was wide open, and in Yuan Yao's sight, at this time, the highest civil and military officials in Xiangyang City, Xun Yan and Pan Feng, appeared at the same time, looking at Pan Feng and Xun Yan at the city gate, Yuan Yao's eyes were full of sighs.

Speaking of this time, Yuan Yao remembered that he seemed to come to Jingzhou for the third or fourth time, and Yuan Yao didn't remember the specific times, but this time when he came to Jingzhou, Yuan Yao seemed to have a fire burning in his heart, and he had to cooperate with Yuan Shu to play a wave of beautiful assists this time, so as to live up to Yuan Shu's high hopes.
