This time Bowangpo's victory over Cao Bing in the first battle was not only a victory in a military battle for Zhu Wei, but also meant that Zhu Wei completely controlled Jingzhou.

This battle can also be regarded as Zhu Wei passing a crisis test of controlling Jingzhou, so that the officials of Jingzhou, the scholar families and the common people all accepted the fact that Zhu Wei was in charge of Jingzhou.

In addition, in this battle, Zhu Wei captured the generals of the Cao army, Che Zhou and Le Jin, and there were 13,000 or 4,000 Cao soldiers captured, although more than 3,000 of them belonged to the type of young and strong auxiliary soldiers, but it was a big gain.

It's just that most of these Cao soldiers are auxiliary soldiers recruited from the Qingzhou soldiers in the north and the Xudu region, so Zhu Wei still needs to consider before reorganizing these soldiers.

Of course, at the suggestion of Huang Yueying, Yi Yuan, and Jia Xu, Zhu Wei was not ready to go to war with Cao Cao further, but wanted to talk to him about the conditions, so that Cao Cao could use the official titles of Jingzhou Mu and Zhennan General to exchange the corpses of Che Guan, the second general Lejin, and Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Ba who were captured by Zhu Wei.

If Cao Cao agrees, then Zhu Wei will have the legal status of officially ruling Jingzhou and Yangzhou in the official face.

Jingzhou Mu's official position of controlling Jingzhou is also counted, with Zhu Wei's current identity as a history of Jingzhou's assassination, it is enough for Zhu Wei to replace Liu Biao's official position in Jingzhou, and the most important thing is the identity of the general of Zhennan.

This Zhennan general is a general with an official name in the Han Dynasty, and he belongs to one of the generals of the four towns of Erpin, if Zhu Wei gets the title of Zhennan general, he can officially open a government in the south and appoint the official military position of his subordinate generals.

That is, Zhu Wei obtained the officially recognized right to appoint and dismiss military officers, so that he can be regarded as a truly independent warlord.

This is different from the name of the so-called General Jingnan that Zhu Wei got before, and it can really be regarded as a high-level military rank in the Han Dynasty, and it is a general name in the real sense.

In today's days, this kind of identity is very important in name, and with this title, talents from all over the world can get official positions as long as they vote for Zhu Wei.

Although he belonged to Zhu Wei, a private minister of the shogunate under the name of General Zhennan, he was also an official position that was truly recognized by the imperial court, not a fake official appointed casually by local warlords and a pseudo-official who was not recognized by the imperial court.

However, all this still required Zhu Wei to communicate and mediate with Cao Cao on the Jingzhou side, so Zhu Wei was still unable to send troops to support the war in Jiangdong for the time being.

Fortunately, in these days, Zhu Wei also checked the battle between Wang Yuyan's side and Sun Ce from afar through the Three Kingdoms game system, Wang Yuyan's side seems to be in a relatively smooth state, and Sun Ce's military state is really similar to Zhu Wei's previous prediction, and some troops are insufficient.

Previously, Wang Yuyan led his troops down the river, and arrived at the Niuzhu camp located in the Yangtze River defense line of Liu Xiang as soon as possible.

This is a military camp located on the hill of Shiji that protrudes into the Yangtze River, plus the two military camps of Dangli and Hengjiang in the north of the Yangtze River, which can allow Liu Miao to condescendingly hold the defense line of the Yangtze River, and can block the threat of Huainan Yuan Shu to Jiangdong.

Therefore, this Niuzhu camp can be regarded as an important military base of Liu Xiang on the Yangtze River, and it is also a frontier fortress where Liu Miao hoarded a large amount of food, weapons and materials.

Although there is still a Liyang military town as a forward buffer before this Yangtze River defense line, this Yangtze River defense line is also an important military base for Liu Xuan.

And now, with the military deterrence of more than 20,000 troops commanded by Wang Yuyan, coupled with Wang Yuyan's righteous name of rescuing Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan's general Chen Heng, who was guarding the Niufu camp, finally gave in and opened the Niuzhu camp and welcomed Wang Yuyan to take over the Niuzhu camp.

In this way, all the grain, grass, weapons and other materials hoarded by Liu Miao were handed over to Zhu Wei's army commanded by Wang Yuyan.

Then Wang Yuyan also took over the Dangli and Hengjiang ferries in Jiangbei as soon as possible, and then sent someone to contact Liu Xuan, who is now stationed in Liyang Military Town, so that he could also accept Wang Yuyan's direct control.

After initially dealing with these things, Wang Yuyan began to explore the changes in the situation in Jiangdong, and also knew the reason why Danyang City had not yet been lost.

It turned out that after Liu Miao was seriously ill and could not be a director, he invited his friend Hua Xin, who had also served as Yuzhang Taishou, to help him manage government affairs, and this Hua Xin can be regarded as a famous figure in the history of the Three Kingdoms.

One of the most famous historical stories is to cut off the seat, that is, Guan Ning, a famous scholar of the Three Kingdoms, studied with Hua Xin when he was young, and he was also a close friend, but because Hua Xin gradually revealed his greedy and vain nature, he took the initiative to cut off the seat with Hua Xin, indicating that the two were no longer friends.

In fact, this also has some of the blackening and demeaning flavor of Hua Xin by later generations, mainly because Hua Xin helped Cao Pi usurp the throne of the Han family in history, and also presided over the so-called Zen ceremonies, so that he was blackened into a traitor by later generations of literati.

In fact, Hua Xin is also a clean and talented man in the history of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao also used Hua Xin as a military advisor to conquer Sun Quan, Tai Shici also commented on Hua Xin and said, "Hua Ziyu is also virtuous, but not a strategic talent, no other rules, just self-discipline." ”

It can be seen that Hua Xin is still a person with some ability.

It is said that after Liu Xian's death in history, the people in Yuzhang proposed to let Hua Xin succeed Liu Xuan, but Hua Xin did not agree, which also shows that the relationship between him and Liu Xuan is indeed good.

It's just that after Zhuge Xuan replaced Hua Xin as Yuzhang Taishou before, Hua Xin also went back to his hometown, speaking of which, Hua Xin will be in Danyang this time, but he also has something to do with Zhu Wei.

Previously, Zhu Wei did not ask Liu Miao to send people to the four counties of Jingnan and Yuzhang as local officials.

So Liu Miao naturally also thought of Hua Xin's old friend, this Hua Xin originally had a high reputation in Yuzhang, and so far Yuzhang people have not forgotten Hua Xin, Liu Miao originally wanted to send Hua Xin to Yuzhang, so as to compete with Zhu Wei for some Yuzhang people's hearts.

As a result, after Hua Xin arrived in Danyang City, Liu Xian himself became ill, so Hua Xin stayed in Danyang City for the time being.

Of course, with the relationship between Hua Xin and Liu Xuan, coupled with Hua Xin's status as a celebrity, he also received Liu Xuan's attention, so this time he heard the news that Sun Ce crossed the river to invade Wu County, Liu Xuan knew that he was seriously ill and could not be a director, and the others under him could not bear the responsibility, so Liu Xuan temporarily entrusted the affairs of Danyang to Hua Xin to deal with it.

And Hua Xin can be regarded as having some ability, at least his political ability must be above Liu Xuan, although he does not have any military ability, but he immediately recalled Zhang Ying, the general of Liu Xuan, who defended Yuan Shu on the Liyang front, and asked Zhang Ying to return to Danyang City to deal with military affairs.

Previously, Liu Xuan's army focused on the direction of the Yangtze River, mainly to defend against the threat of Yuan Shu to Jiangdong, but now after Sun Ce Wu Jun crossed the river and attacked and killed Xu Gong, Danyang City, not far from Wu County, has changed from the rear to the military forefront.

Therefore, protecting Danyang City has naturally become a top priority......
