During this period of time, only the Yueshan battalion in Zhu Wei's army was still in a state of war and did not stop repairing.

Zhu Wei's strategic policy for Zulang and Pang Tong was to conquer the barbarian tribes in the mountains, let them accept Zhu Wei's control, and then find a way to let some barbarians move to live outside the mountains to supplement the population of the four counties of Jingnan.

This is not an overnight thing, so Zu Lang and Pang Tong took the mountain camp, and they basically wandered around the mountains for most of the year.

With the help of the Raja Kamai of Heimu Village and the Bunu Tanukiya of Chishui Cave as the barbarian internal response, now the Yueshan camp has conquered several barbarian tribes in the mountains, and then under the planning of Pang Tong, a barbarian alliance has been formed.

Since then, they have begun to drive these barbarians as a frontrunner, helping to attack other more barbarian tribes.

However, these barbarian tribes are scattered all over the mountains, and without the support of Zhu Wei who can provide food and grass materials at any time, the logistics supply of the Yueshan battalion in the mountains is indeed a problem, so at present, Pang Tong is preparing to open up a mountain road in the mountains, which is specially used for logistics and supply.

As for the manpower to build the mountain road, it was drawn from the conquered barbarian tribes, and this also had the advantage of allowing the barbarian tribes in the mountains to have a channel of contact with the outside world.

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and if you have a road to connect with the outside of the mountain, there will naturally be more external impacts, so as to resolve the barbaric customs of the barbarian tribes.

Anyway, under Pang Tong's plan, Zu Lang and the Yueshan camp were busy in the mountains.

In the past six months or so, they have also sent a lot of units of gold to Zhu Wei's side, mainly mined from an open-pit gold mine found in Heimu Village, which is expected to provide Zhu Wei with tens of thousands of units of gold.

Therefore, Zhu Wei does not plan to let Zu Lang and Pang Tong take the Yueshan camp to do other things for the time being, and it is also a very important thing for Zhu Wei to take care of the affairs in the mountains.

Anyway, after calculating the strength that Zhu Wei can use now, there are more than 25,000 Xionglu battalions in Yuzhang, more than 15,000 Jiangjiao battalions, as well as 5,000 crossbowmen, 5,000 cavalry, 5,000 sword and shield men who construct the Bagua Tortoise Shell Formation, and 3,000 Baiyu battalions of personal guards.

In addition, if Jingzhou is attacked, Wei Yan's Jingnan battalion's more than 20,000 troops and Jiangxia Tai Shici's more than 20,000 troops can also be used, so that the number of troops that can be used is really nearly 100,000.

The 100,000 troops had already been trained and screamed, just waiting for the place to show their knives and cut people.

However, although Zhu Wei's side already has nearly 100,000 troops that can be used, if he really wants to fight Liu Biao, he still needs to take into account that Liu Biao also has a lot of troops under his account.

Although the territory actually controlled by Liu Biao in Jingzhou may only be part of Nanjun and Nanyang County, in fact, the population base in the territory controlled by Liu Biao is still very large.

For example, the initial population of Nanyang County was as much as one million, and Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor who founded the Eastern Han Dynasty, started with Nanyang, and Yuan Shu initially occupied Nanyang County, and then with the help of the population base of Nanyang County, he raised a force of more than 100,000 troops.

Although Nanyang County is a little defeated now, because when Liu Biao drove Yuan Shu away from Nanyang County, he also fought with Yuan Shu in Nanyang County, and as a result, many people in Nanyang County moved south to Nanjun, and even some people fled to Yizhou and Jiangdong.

In addition, there was another major plague outbreak in Nanyang County before, so the population of Nanyang County is now more than 200,000, which is why Liu Biao generously handed over Wancheng in Nanyang County to Zhang Xiu to garrison and raise soldiers.

However, although Nanyang County was defeated, Liu Biao still controlled Nanjun after all, but this Nanjun has been in a stable state since Liu Biao entered Jingzhou.

The seven counties of Jingzhou were originally based on Nanjun and Nanyang County, but now under the governance of Liu Biao, Nanjun is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are 120,000 or 300,000 people living in Nanjun alone.

To be honest, don't look at the fact that Zhu Wei now occupies such a large territory as Yuzhang, Jiangxia and Jingnan counties, but the combined population of these places may be less than 150,000 or 600,000, which is not as good as Liu Biao's population in Nanjun.

Therefore, Liu Biao still relied on these population bases to raise nearly 100,000 troops, which was about the same as the troops controlled by Zhu Wei.

Although Zhu Wei had coveted the Nanjun and Nanyang Counties occupied by Liu Biao in Jingbei for a long time, in addition to having no excuse to send troops on the surface, he actually couldn't ignore the scale of Liu Biao's troops.

Previously, Zhu Wei seized Jiangxia and Jingnan counties, and Liu Biao didn't seem to have any reaction, but there were also prerequisites.

Jiangxia was originally the land of Huang Zu, and Zhu Wei's movements were too fast, so after some of the reinforcements sent by Liu Biao were eaten, Liu Biao could only retreat for the time being.

As for the four counties of Jingnan, it is also a place of chicken ribs for Liu Biao, and the plague happened to break out in Jingbei when the four counties of Jingnan were fighting, so Liu Biao naturally had no time to take care of the four counties of Jingnan.

After that, Jiangxia had Tai Shici in charge, and there was a Jiangshui Army Village guarded by Wei Yan in Jingnan Xiaoling County, so Liu Biao was not easy to move troops.

But in the past half a year, Liu Biao's small actions have actually been constant, on the one hand, he infiltrated the influence of the local county seat on Jiangxia's side, secretly snatching the actual control of Jiangxia, and on the other hand, he also spent a lot of effort on Wei Yan's side to buy and win over, wanting to recruit more than 20,000 troops of Wei Yan's Jingnan battalion.

These Zhu Wei are actually aware of it, especially on Wei Yan's side, Zhu Wei can see the information that Liu Biao and Wei Yan are privately contacting and plotting something through the prompts of the Three Kingdoms game system.

However, on Jiangxia's side, Zhu Wei doesn't care much about the ownership of the local county now, as long as Tai Shici can still maintain the fact of military occupation, it doesn't matter.

On Wei Yan's side, Zhu Wei is also very confident in Wei Yan's loyalty to Ninety-One, so Liu Biao's small actions basically have no impact on Zhu Wei.

Of course, Zhu Wei is also doing a lot of small actions on Liu Biao's Nanjun side, such as contacting Huang Chengyan through Huang Yueying, and then re-easing relations with the Huang family in Jingzhou, and then cultivating more support forces in Jingzhou.

In addition, Zhu Wei also sent military generals to conduct intelligence investigations on Jiangling and Xiangyang in Nanjun through the Three Kingdoms game system, and always paid attention to the military and urban intelligence information of the two cities.

In addition, Zhu Wei's school office also sent many people to work in Nanjun, so Zhu Wei could not only order them to investigate the intelligence information of Nanjun, but also directly see the situation in Nanjun through their line of sight.

It can be said that Zhu Wei's understanding of Nanjun may be clearer than Liu Biao's own knowledge.

For example, the ability attributes and loyalty of the generals under Liu Biao, as well as the training and morale readiness of the soldiers under Liu Biao, as well as the population of the people in the two cities of Jiangling and Xiangyang under Liu Biao, the loyalty of the people, and other specific data and information.

And now Zhu Wei is finally going to attack Liu Biao......
