When the ice and snow melted and the grass did not sprout, Cao Cao began to mobilize his troops and horses.

This is a secret transfer of troops, but for Yang Xi, it is not a secret.

No matter how Cao Cao deploys troops, Yang Xi must first solve the problem of Huiji, and if his worries are not solved, the rear will also become the front line.

The problem that Yang Xi is facing is not the problem of troops, but the fact that the front is too long.

In the event of a war, Jiaozhou could attack from two directions, Huiji in the east and Jingzhou in the west. As for the ancient road from Jiaozhou to Yuzhang in Yuzhang County, Yang Xi had already asked Wang Mastiff to send troops to garrison it, the ancient road was narrow, and only more than 1,000 people were needed to build a fortress on the ancient road, so it was really impossible to put on wings, unless the air force flew over the mountains of Nanling.

But the ancient road in Jingzhou is under the control of Guiyang County, and Sun Quan can transport troops from here.

In the east, once tens of thousands of people rebelled, then with Sun Quan's troops, only 10,000 regular troops would need to join, and Huang Zhong would not be able to resist. Even if it resists, it will be a tragic ending of both defeats, and Yang Xi must solve it as soon as possible.

Cao Cao mobilized 80,000 soldiers and horses from the time Zhuge Liang left, increased 20,000 troops to Xuzhou, 10,000 garrisoned Xiapi, and 10,000 garrisoned Chenliu.

At the same time, Cao Cao ordered another 10,000 troops to enter the border of Qi to the east to prevent the attack of the Qingzhou theater.

The remaining 50,000 soldiers and horses were secretly assembled, intending to move south from Xudu and cross Runan to attack the Lujiang River.

The Cai Kao Regiment in the Lujiang Theater has only 6,000 cavalry, 6,000 infantry, plus 6,000 county soldiers, a total of only 18,000 soldiers and horses, and it seems that it is best to break through.

In Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang returned to Jingzhou, which was the day Yang Xi set off from Jiangxia.

Liu Bei wanted to invite 50,000 soldiers to attack Jiangxia.

Liu Biao did not agree for the time being, but discussed with Mrs. Cai, Liu Cong and Cai Mao.

Mrs. Cai said: "Liu Bei's heroes, Jingzhou has all withdrawn from Xinye soldiers and horses, plus the soldiers of Xiangyang, and then counting the 10,000 soldiers of Anlu Liu Qi, only 50,000 soldiers and horses, all of which are under the command of Liu Bei. ”

Cai Mao said again: "Then Liu Beiwu has the courage of Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun, and Wen has the talent of Zhuge Liang through heaven and earth. ”

Liu Biaozheng was embarrassed, and Cai Mao said: "The general should be mainly the son, and Liu Bei should be the auxiliary." The son Liu Cong is young and needs to accumulate resources and grains, thinking that he is for the sake of his position, if he commands the army at this time and defeats Jiangxia, wouldn't it be justified? ”

Liu Biao thinks about it, what he thinks about most is his son on the throne, although Liu Bei is a hero and has good ability, but if he can assist Liu Cong, it will also be a good thing.

So, Liu Biao ordered Liu Cong to be the governor of the soldiers and horses, Liu Bei was the other driver, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were the other Sima. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were originally the governors of the navy, but now there is no navy, so they had to transfer the two to guard Nanjun and did not participate in the expedition.

Liu Beiying, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei secretly discussed.

Kong Ming said: "Lord, this is caused by Mrs. Cai and the three brothers of the Cai family, don't pay attention to it, in fact, now the lord is actually half of the lord of Jingzhou." ”

Liu Bei said: "Why is he already half the lord of Jingzhou? ”

Kong Ming said: "Liu Biao is now the entire Jingzhou soldiers and horses, only 50,000 people, Guan Zhang Zhao and the three of them each lead 5,000 other troops with the army, once they leave, they are private soldiers, and then there is a son Liu Qi led 10,000 troops in Jiangxia Anlu, Liu Qi is extremely obedient to the lord, at that time this battle regardless of whether to win or not, the lord has to guard Jiangxia, according to Yang Xi's attack, the lord can be carefully managed, and then find an opportunity to enter Bashu in the west, and the big thing can be done." ”

After listening to Kong Ming's analysis, Liu Bei suddenly became proud.

Two days later, Yang Xi marched all the way, and his whereabouts were secret.

Every hour, the special service battalion sent back, and it was the news of the various special agents.

According to the news of the past two days, Yang Xi finally determined that these people were gathering in one place.

"Rallies?"

"If you want to gather, it's easy to do it, and then I'll catch them all."

Wu's hometown is located in the Wuyi Mountains, and the whole township is surrounded by water on three sides, and only one side can get by.

It is reasonable to be surrounded by water on three sides, the key is that the three sides of the water are mostly straight cliffs that are more than ten zhang high, and people have to swim into the water to pass from here, and then have claws like geckos, and climb up with their bare hands.

Although Wu's hometown is surrounded by water on three sides, the area is not small, and there are three or four hundred households here with a population of more than 1,000. Wu's hometown is all surnamed Wu, for a big family, the current head of the family Wu Fu, is very famous in the Wuyi area, because of his birth height of eight feet, the face is like a crown of jade, the hole is powerful, and is willing to give, won the chivalrous name.

Wu Fu is also ranked number one in this generation of heroes, plus his younger brother Wu Wu is also strong in martial arts, the two brothers are united, and their strength is not less than that of Hong Ming and Hong Jin's brothers.

Today, thanks to the letter of the Hong brothers, the heroes of all counties have arrived, and there are thirteen leaders.

When the brothers Jia Xu and Hongming arrived, they saw that this was the only road into the countryside that could pass through Wu's hometown, and the gate had been repaired earlier, and the guards were all strong, and it seemed that it was not as good.

Jia Xu had already explored the terrain of this place, and was thinking hard about a good plan, who knew that Hong Ming said: "Lord Jia doesn't have to worry about his own safety, even if things change, the Wu family brothers will not embarrass outsiders." This Wu hometown, only this road can be accessed, it is because there are 500 people from the Wu family in this place, but I can bring 200 people in, 200 people from Master Jia, and 400 people from my Hong family, there are 600 people, but I am not afraid of him. ”

Jia Xu nodded secretly, as long as his two hundred people can enter, it will be easy to do, and when the time comes, he will act at the right time, win over a group, and crack down on a group.

Jia Xu and the others rushed in, and there were already four or five Haoqiang who had already entered in advance, but they saw that each Haoqiang was allocated four or five tents, but they were for temporary rest.

Seeing Jia Xu looking at the back mountain, Hong Ming said: "Don't worry, Lord Jia, there is only one entrance and exit here, but the back mountain is a cliff, and it is difficult to fly with wings, but it will not be besieged." ”

Hong Ming thought that Jia Xu was worried that things would change and someone would be unfavorable to him.

The two were talking, when suddenly a hearty laugh came.

"Hahahaha! Who am I, but it turned out that the brothers of the Hong family arrived one step earlier than so, but they said that this Wu hometown was also aggrieved, and the mountain road of ten miles and eight turns did not make Lao Hua and me dizzy. ”

When Jia Xu saw someone coming, he was covered in horizontal meat, and his height was more than eight feet, and he was very brave at first glance.

Hong Ming said: "Haha! Who is my Dao, the voice is so loud, it turns out that the tiger head Daohua has arrived, come and come, let someone introduce, this is the current Lord Xu Du, Lord Jin Wu Jia Xujia. ”

Jia Xu bowed his hand slightly, but Hua Dang did not put down the big knife on his shoulder, but looked at Jia Xu with a slanted face and said: "It turns out that this is this, I heard that our general title can be obtained with your sharp mouth, it is a character, and I will have a few more drinks with Lord Jia when it is over." ”

Jia Xu knew that the Minyue people were barbaric and difficult to manage at this time, and he didn't blame the other party for being rude, but he just said that it was easy to say.
