While Gan Ning was slowly receiving Jiangxia, Yuzhang's peaceful transition was also underway.

Lu Su did not attack a city after stepping into Yuzhang, he had heard of Hua Xin's reputation for a long time, and knew that Hua Xin was a man with a benevolent heart, who governed clearly and peacefully, encouraged farming, and opposed cruel punishment, and was an admirable person. Therefore, he hoped to occupy Yuzhang in a relatively peaceful way, instead of destroying the stable and prosperous Yuzhang that had been established by poor Huaxin for several years in a bloody battle, and occupying a dilapidated Yuzhang where the people's livelihood withered and the people were centrifuged.

Along the way, Lu Su went around the city, strictly ordering the soldiers not to attack, not to disturb the people, not to destroy farmland, and to trade fairly, if there was a violation, they would be severely punished according to the circumstances. On the same day, when he just got off the ship, a soldier was weak and unsteady because of seasickness, and trampled on the vegetables in the field during the march, Lu Su beat him mercilessly after learning about it, and ordered someone to find the owner of the farmland, and compensated the people for the loss of three times the money (Lu Su was not a cold-blooded person, when the soldier who had violated military discipline due to physical reasons received the military stick, Lu Su immediately ordered the military doctor to treat him with all his might, and at the same time, considering his extremely poor physical condition, he was ordered to be sent back to the war ship to recuperate).

The people who originally thought they were going to suffer the scourge of war praised all of them, and the name of the benevolent and righteous army of the Yizhou Army has since been widely spread all over the world.

After Lu Su led his troops to Nanchang, the seat of Yuzhang County, he immediately sent a long letter to Hua Xin, in which he took the lead in praising Hua Xin's character and affirming his policies since he took charge of Yuzhang; He immediately stated that if it was not necessary, the Yizhou army was unwilling to let Yuzhang be destroyed in the war, and hoped that Hua Xin could thank the people for their safety and surrender in Kaecheng, and he promised in the letter that if Hua Xin took the initiative to open the city, the lives and safety of Yuzhang's original officials and soldiers would not be violated, and the property of the people would also be protected; He also bluntly stated that the Yizhou army has completely annihilated all the Jingzhou naval forces, including the Jiangxia naval army, and the merger of Jingzhou into Yizhou is a foregone conclusion, he told Hua Xin that he is only leading the forward, if Hua Xin refuses to open the city to welcome Yizhou into the city, then he will be forced to attack, once the battle curtain is opened, innocent people are bound to be killed and wounded, this is not only his Lu Su's sin, but also the sin of Hua Xin, who is Yuzhang's parents, I hope Hua Xin can really love the people of Yuzhang like his parents, and surrender Kaicheng; Then, Lu Su told Hua Xin realistically that Yizhou sent 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Jingzhou this time, and after capturing Jingzhou and reorganizing the army, Yizhou's troops in Jingzhou will reach about 150,000, if he does not attack Yuzhang effectively, the Yizhou army in Jingzhou can at least send 50,000 people to support Yuzhang's battle, he asked Hua Xin in the letter, can he hold Yuzhang? If not, then why should people be caught in the flames of war? Avoid a fight, Hua Xin will leave a name in history, if the war is together, then the same historical sinners, where to go, please Hua Xin think twice!

Subsequently, Lu Su ordered the whole army to line up outside Nanchang City, and a huge military drill came.

The soldiers who had just survived the brutal decisive battle of the naval army still had a strong killing intent, and their strict military appearance and sky-high arrogance showed the strong combat effectiveness of this army.

Hua Xin is a literati, the administration has always been heavy on literature and light on martial arts, when he took Yuzhang and a group of civil and military personnel on the city wall to watch the Yizhou army's drills, not only him, almost all the people who witnessed all this, whether they were officials, generals, or soldiers, all with frustration and fear on their faces, they knew very well that the other party no longer needed reinforcements, and only the soldiers and horses under the city could capture Nanchang.

With this understanding, the rest of the matter is much simpler, Hua Xin and several major adjutants such as Du Wei, Gong Cao, Zhu Bo and other major adjutants had a short discussion, the thick city gate of Nanchang slowly opened, and all the troops in the city laid down their weapons and walked out of the city......

After Lu Su and Hua Xin met, they expressed their long-term admiration for each other, and Lu Su asked Hua Xin to still temporarily take over the post of Taishou, and the rest of the civil officials also retained their posts, and made reasonable arrangements after Liu Zhang was revealed. Hua Xin repeatedly refused, and finally agreed to be a temporary substitute under Lu Su's repeated pleas, asking Lu Su to clarify Liu Zhang as soon as possible and choose another meritorious. As for the army, Lu Su did not dare to be careless, and transferred a new tun commander to each tun, and the original tun chief was assisted by the deputy position, and the generals and colonels above the tun commander were still retained, but they should be accompanied by a deputy, and at the same time, Lu Su also ordered each unit of the Yuzhang army to withdraw half of the troops to mix with each other, and all kinds of measures greatly reduced the control of the troops by generals at all levels of the Yuzhang army, and reduced the unfavorable situation that could occur. Of course, in this way, the combat power of the Yuzhang army will be greatly damaged in the short term, but Lu Su has no hope for the combat power of the Yuzhang army at all (this is the so-called soldier Xiongxiong, will be a nest of bears, there is such a Taishou as Hua Xin, the low combat power of the Yuzhang army is of course normal, of course, it is not that Hua Xin Xiong, but Hua Xin is good at civil governance and not good at martial arts), in his opinion, to maintain the stability of Yuzhang in the short term, you have to rely on the Yizhou army he brought, so this disadvantage is insignificant.

With Hua Xin's cooperation, Lu Su achieved control of Yuzhang within a few days. When Liu Zhang received the battle report that he and Gan Ning arrived almost at the same time, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Considering that Jiangxia and Yuzhang border Yangzhou, and Yuan Shu is likely to attack Jiangxia and Yuzhang after capturing Yangzhou, in order to facilitate unified command and defend the territory, Liu Zhang ordered the Yuzhang County Administration to be moved from Nanchang to Chaisang, Yuzhang County was temporarily merged into Jingzhou Guanhuo, and Jingdong Theater was established, Lu Su was no longer the governor of the naval army, but was reappointed as the governor of Jingdong Theater, and sat in Chaisang to supervise all affairs in the theater (the theater is an administrative department established by Liu Zhang with a strong military color, and the Jingdong Theater is mainly responsible for the defense and administration of Jiangxia and Yuzhang); Gan Ning was appointed as the deputy governor of the theater and the governor of the navy, sitting in Jiangxia, and Yuzhang became a horn to assist Lu Su; With Zhang Liao as the governor of the infantry army in the theater, he commanded all the infantry troops in the Jingdong theater to assist Lusu in resisting any attack; The newly invested Su Fei was dismissed from his military post and reappointed as Jiangxia Taishou, and Hua Xin was also officially appointed as Yuzhang Taishou; Zhang Ren was ordered to resign and go to Wancheng, where he was appointed; The rest of the officials have changed and will not be repeated here.

After reorganization, the Jingdong Theater had a total of 39,000 troops, of which Gan Ning and Su Fei brought 5,000 to Jiangxia, Lusu to Yuzhang 8,000, Zhang Liao and Zhang Ren to support 10,000, the original Jiangxia army 10,000, the original Yuzhang army 6,000, and there were 15,000 naval troops and 24,000 infantry troops. It can be seen that at this time, the main force of the Yizhou Navy Army was not in the Jingdong Theater, but the water army that remained in the public security. Of course, this is not that Liu Zhang despises the role of the Jingdong Theater and is unwilling to send more naval troops to the Jingdong Theater, but Liu Zhang believes that with the current strength of the Jingdong Theater (whether it is a naval army or an infantry) in the short term, it is enough to maintain his possession of the Jingdong Theater, even if Yuan Shu captures Yangzhou, but Yuan Shu does not have a naval army of a scale so far, if he dares to come, the existing naval army in the Jingdong Theater is enough to completely annihilate his naval army. Liu Zhang left the main force of the naval army in public security, and anyone with a discerning eye understood that he was preparing for the capture of Jingnan in the future, and as long as he stabilized the situation in Nanyang, he would definitely return to Jingnan and seize it with the naval army as the guide, so as to realize his entire occupation of Jingzhou.

Of course, Liu Zhang's arrangement can't hide from Cao Yin, Zhao Fan, and Liu Du, but they know very well that with the strength of the three of them, it is still possible to hold the existing territory, and if they take the initiative to attack, it will definitely be self-defeating. They also understood that Liu Zhang would not launch the Jingnan Campaign in the short term, but once he freed up his hand from Jingnan, he would definitely not hesitate to call them, so the three of them strengthened their garrison while recruiting troops in their respective territories to increase their strength. In order to get enough soldiers and hoard enough grain and grass, they forcibly arrested Ding in their territories, expropriated and extorted violently, and officials at all levels took the opportunity to accept bribes on a large scale, causing the land of the three counties to be full of chickens and dogs, and the people's resentment was boiling and the people were panicking, but in the face of bloody butcher knives, the helpless people had to tearfully bid farewell to their sons and husbands.
