As soon as Liu He's order was issued, all parts of the country began to prepare intensively, the Central Plains region had not fought for six years, and the soldiers were either farming or training every day, and they were already impatient to live this kind of day, they heard that the soldiers of the Nanhai Governor's Mansion went to the sea every day, found many islands, conquered many places, and made many contributions, and they were infinitely envious in their hearts, hoping that they would also make meritorious contributions by killing the enemy, be rewarded with knighthood, and leave their names in history.

Now I suddenly heard that the King of Qin ordered to conquer the Chu State, and suddenly everyone was excited, all of them were vying for the lead, gearing up, ready to show their skills, and also made a great contribution, knighthood and reward, glory to the ancestors, it is best to have a wife and son, so that the brothers in the camp envy themselves.

As for the generals from all walks of life, they are also in the same mood now, Zhou Yu is better, three years ago because of the pacification of the Southern Barbarians and made great contributions, was worshiped as the left general, even the feudal towns have been added to five hundred households, although the current official position is still under Zhao Yun and Guan Yu, but now after all, in addition to mastering the land of a state and tens of thousands of troops like them, at the same time, Zhou Yu's army also found many islands on the East China Sea, although most of them are no man's land, but there are also many places where there are people, What is particularly striking is that Zhou Yu is said to have found a waterway from Yangzhou to the Wa Kingdom, if it is really confirmed, Zhou Yu's credit will be even greater, and it is not impossible to surpass Zhao Yun and Guan Yu in official positions.

Therefore, now Zhao Yun can be said to be holding his breath, and he urgently needs to make a great contribution to consolidate his position as the first general in the army, and now he has finally got such an opportunity, and it is the most core area of attacking Cao Pi, so he naturally has to seize this opportunity tightly, and he must not afford to lose.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhao Yun issued an extremely strict mobilization order, requiring the soldiers to complete the task on time and as required, otherwise, they will be kicked out of the expedition team, and they will never be used again if there is a battle in the future.

Although there is no substantive military discipline punishment, but for the soldiers, it is simply more effective than any punishment, not to mention their own shame, there will be no chance to make meritorious service in the future, if so, what is the point of being a soldier?

Therefore, all the soldiers acted quickly, and completed the requirements with high standards and high quality, and absolutely no one dared to take it lightly.

Not only Yuzhou, where Zhao Yun is located, but Yanzhou, where Liyi is located, and Jizhou, where the trial is located, are also in the same situation, all the soldiers are afraid that they will lose such a valuable opportunity for meritorious service, and they all act desperately, lest they fall behind and miss the opportunity.

So in this case, the mobilization of the army, which should have been completed in one month, was basically completed in half a month.

Immediately after this, the armies plunged into arduous training, and although there was a 120 percent chance of victory in this battle, no one was sure that they would get the credit, so the purpose of the training was how to get the credit from their own robes without hindering the military situation.

Of course, in order to avoid mistaking things for the sake of merit, Liu He had already ordered in advance that anyone who obstructed the military situation because of the struggle for merit would be dealt with by military law, and he would be issued a military registration and never be used.

This kind of deterrence is very great, and all the soldiers regard this as the greatest precept, so what they are training now is how to maximize their merit without touching this precept.

In this case, the information spread from all over the country like snowflakes to Xiapi City, and since Liu He announced the order to conquest, Cao Pi's case almost never cut off the intelligence of Liu He's army.

"Lord, Zhao Yun has assembled people in Yuzhou, although it has only been half a month, the personnel have been fully in place, the military discipline is very neat, and the murderous atmosphere is awe-inspiring, it seems that the war may be ...... in advance."

"My lord, the judge will gather people and horses in the plains, and build a large number ......of boats to cross the river, the other side of the Yellow River is tinkling every day, and it is busy until late at night, it seems that the boats will be built soon, and our army needs to take precautions as soon as possible."

"My lord, according to the report of the spies, there are countless warships on the Yangtze River, there seem to be tens of thousands, these ships are well-equipped, the soldiers are in high spirits, shouting and killing, it seems that they are going to move to the Guangling area."

"Lord, according to the report of the spies, there are people in a valley somewhere in Taishan County, waving flags, it seems that Liu He's army should be assembled here for training, it seems that it will not take much time to launch an attack on our army, and our army needs to make arrangements as soon as possible......"

Cao Pi heard that Liu He was going to attack him at the beginning, but he didn't take it seriously, after all, in his opinion, there was no benefit in crusading against himself at all, but he would welcome back the hot potato of the Son of Heaven, and he would force the Son of Heaven to persuade him to withdraw at most, but he didn't expect that the later he went, the heavier the smell of gunpowder became, Liu He's army of 200,000 troops all assembled, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the heavens and the earth, and it was absolutely impossible to be thunder and rain, so all these signs indicate one point: Liu He may really want to take action against himself.

Although Cao Ren was urgently ordered to lead the army to hold Xiapi, and ordered Xiahoudun to stick to Jibei, Cheng Yu to stick to Guangling, and Lejin to defend Langya, Cao Pi still felt uneasy in his heart, because his own troops were too small, although many recruits were used, but it was only 50,000 people, although 50,000 people seemed to be a lot, but when it was divided around, it seemed even less, even in Xiapi City, which was in the most central area, it was only 20,000 people.

"Lord, this, how should this be fought? Now even the servants are on board, and there are only 23,000 people. Zhanfei, who reported the news to Cao Pi, said with a wry smile.

"Zhanfei, I also know that things are difficult to do, but now we have no choice, I really didn't expect Liu and Xiao'er to play with me, what good is it for him? After breaking my Xiapi City, even though I will inevitably die, but the Son of Heaven returning to Chang'an or Luoyang can only be a constraint for him, so he has not beaten me for so many years, but now what is he crazy about? He led his troops to attack me because of a small position as the king of the East China Sea? Let's talk about it, in this troubled era, what is the difference between this Donghai County King and the previous Duke of Chu? What if it's an emperor? Still living a miserable life? Why can't his mind think about it like that? ”

Only when he regarded Zhanfei as his confidant did he speak so unscrupulously, and complained very much about Liu He between his words.

Zhan Fei is Deng Zhan secretly sneered in his heart: "Do you need to say this?" It is clear that the lord wants to use this to dominate the world, for this son of heaven, although it is a trouble, but it is only a small trouble, I believe that the lord has a way to deal with it, so he so openly proposed to welcome back the son of heaven and kill the traitor. ”

Of course, on the surface, Deng Zhan could only comfort Cao Pi.

Cao Pi then said: "It's okay, I'm just complaining and complaining, you don't have to worry, I still have a way to deal with Liu He, I don't believe it, if the Son of Heaven personally ascends to the city to persuade him, will Liu He not retreat?" Besides, I have already sent someone to contact Zhongda, as long as he holds on for a month, he will definitely send troops from the Wa Kingdom to rescue him. ”
