"Poof!" With a burst of this pop, on the edge of a tributary of the Huai River, thousands of sturdy men stripped off their bodies and only had a small pair of pants to wrap around the "vital point" of the lower body, which is also Zhao Feng's masterpiece: it saves effort to wrap it with strips of cloth. Then one by one, the men plunged into the river. Although it was autumn at this time, they were not very afraid of the cold, and they all swam to the other side.

There were still a few people standing on the shore watching, and one of them was Liu Bei. Seeing that more than 1,000 people with the surname Shui were so good that they didn't know how many people were better than him, Liu Bei was also very happy in his heart, and asked at the moment: "Xingba, this Huaihe water division can now be used to go into battle!" While speaking, the rest of the warships were patrolling back and forth under Lu Su's mobilization.

"Exactly, my lord, the current 10,000 sailors, coupled with the ironclad ships of Xuzhou, even if they encounter the Jiangdong sailors, Ning is confident that he has the strength to fight!" Gan Ning on the right is also full of confidence.

"Thanks to Zijing this time, Bo Tao and Xingba!" Liu Bei was also determined, at this time Wen Ping and Xu Sheng had already returned to Yuzhou, and Lu Su and Gan Ning were in charge of the navy. Among the second batch of graduates of Xuzhou College, many people were also arranged to enter the water division. Of course, among this batch of graduates, Zhao Feng saw the names of some "celebrities".

"Zhang Nan, Feng Xi?" When checking the list of graduating students that day, these two names jumped into Zhao Feng's eyes. He knew that these two people were Liu Bei's confidants, and they died in Yiling like Fu Tong. In addition, the names of the most prominent students of this class of graduates surprised Zhao Feng even more.

"Hao Zhao?" Zhao Feng specially called this student to his camp that day to investigate carefully, and finally determined that this guy was that Taiyuan Hao Zhao, the super defensive expert who had blocked Zhuge Liang in Chencang. After careful inquiry, I learned that this Hao Zhao was indeed from Taiyuan, and he went south to Jingzhou with his family to take refuge during the war in Bingzhou. Later, I heard that Xuzhou College was enrolled, so I came to sign up.

"I think you are the most prominent student in this class, so let's be my personal guard for the time being!" Zhao Feng thought about it and arranged for him to do this position, and Hao Zhao was naturally grateful. Although Zhao Feng is now a miscellaneous general, unlike the Four Towns, the Four Expeditions and the Si'an Generals, who can have their own shogunate and so many subordinates, but a military marquis can still have personal guards. As for the original guard commander Lu Hao, this kid was recently sent by Zhao Feng to the front line of the Yuan Cao War in Yanzhou and Jizhou, and it is unknown what secret mission he carried out.

"Lord, since General Gan's sailor is already worthy of a battle, we should also contact Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou, after all, if you want to use troops against Jiangdong, you may not be able to rely on Xuzhou military horses alone!" Back in Xuzhou, Zhao Feng saw that the time was ripe, so he stepped forward to admonish. This is also a strategic plan he has put forward since Cao Ying implemented the second season of the Tiger Devouring Wolf: that is, to unite Jingzhou and break Jiangdong.

Zhao Feng was a standard Shu Han Party in his previous life, and he never had a good impression of these Jiangdong rats who hid behind their backs all day long and made small moves. Therefore, in order to avoid another tragedy like Lost Jingzhou, where someone stabbed a chrysanthemum in the back, Zhao Feng has been looking for an opportunity to strangle Jiangdong early. The previous poaching of Lu Su, and now the surrender of Gan Ning, are all out of such plans. It's just that I forgot to get Zhuge Jin over. When he heard that Zhuge Jin had pacified Jiaozhou before, Zhao Feng was also surprised. Later, I remembered that this old brother was almost the same level as Lu Xun in the later period of Eastern Wu in history, but in the early days, under the aura of Zhou Yu and others, there was only limited space to play. Now Lu Su has been fooled away by himself, but it has provided him with a broader development platform. If he had started earlier, it would not have been difficult to rely on the life-saving grace of their family.

As for how to deal with Jiangdong, according to Zhao Feng's plan, how can he also pull Liu Biao from Jingzhou to do it together. After all, the strongest in Jiangdong is the water division, and the only one in the world who can compete with the Jiangdong water division is the Jingxiang water division. Considering that since the time of Sun Jian, Jiangdong and Jingzhou have not shared the sky, it should not be difficult to persuade Liu Biao to send troops. When Liu Bei heard this, he also felt that it made sense. Today, Zhao Feng mentioned it again, and Liu Bei also felt that it was time to send someone to contact Liu Biao, and immediately asked: "Who is willing to go to Jingzhou and contact Brother Jingsheng for me?" ”

"Sun Qian is willing to go!" At that moment, Liu Bei wrote a handwritten letter and handed it to Sun Gan, asking him to persuade Liu Biao to send troops together. So under the expectant eyes of Zhao Feng and Liu Bei, Sun Qian set off and rushed all the way from Yuzhou to Jingzhou.

A few days later, in the governor's mansion in Jiangling City, where Jingzhou was located, Liu Biao met with Liu Bei's envoy Sun Qian. "Sun Gong came to my Jingzhou this time, I don't know what you are doing?" seems to be an ordinary question, but he skillfully takes the initiative of the words in his own hands, Liu Biao's decades of officialdom are not in vain after all.

"It's not for anything else, it's just because the former imperial court issued an order to appoint General Zhao Feng as the Taishou of Nanyang, so I came here to ask Liu Jingzhou for an official position!" Sun Qian said with a smile.

"Hmph, you let that Zhao Feng dog thief take office by himself, Lao Tzu will not chop him into eight pieces and feed the fish, he will not be a man!" Liu Biao hadn't spoken yet, Cai Mao on the side was already vicious, and then turned to Liu Biao and said: "Lord, Mao is willing to personally raise a group of soldiers and horses, break through Yuzhou and Xuzhou, and bring Liu Bei and Zhao Feng's heads!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Liu Biao saw Cai Mao being so rude, and he was also extremely unhappy in his heart, and immediately reprimanded him repeatedly. In fact, although Cai Mao is rude, she is not so arrogant. The reason for this is because Wei Yan beheaded his cousin Cai Zhong in Runan, and now he hated the entire Liu Bei Group.

"Right now, I have Cai Deqi and Cai Du as the governor of Nanyang in Jingzhou, Xuande arranged it like this, wouldn't he want Dejun to dismiss the official?" Liu Biao said slowly, this reason is quite sufficient, and it can also buy people's hearts.

However, Sun Qian is not a fuel-efficient lamp, not to mention that everyone in Xuzhou had already thought of his rhetoric before he came, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law also thought of this, so there is a Chinese strategy at the moment, and I ask Liu Jingzhou to adopt it." ”

Liu Biao was also stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "What is Xuande's good plan?" ”

"My lord proposed that Nanyang could be replaced by another county and sent to General Zhao!" Sun Qian said with a smile. Liu Biao frowned slightly when he heard this, but Cai Mao and the others thought they understood what Liu Bei meant: Maybe Liu Bei knew that Liu Biao, a critical place in Nanyang, would not give up easily, so he took a step back and proposed to change to another county in Jingzhou.

"I don't know what county Xuande wants to replace Nanyang with?" Liu Biao still asked in his usual slow tone, but he was calculating in his heart: It's really not okay to just draw a few counties out and make up a county. Didn't he think that Liu Bei was so easy to fool?

"Yuzhang, or Luling!" Sun Qian replied with a smile, his expression was unfathomable. Everyone in Jingzhou was in an uproar when they heard this, and even Kuai Yue, who has always been known for his wisdom, frowned and said: "I'm afraid that Taiwei Liu's words are difficult for a strong man, this Luling and Yuzhang are both under the rule of Sun Quan in Jiangdong, how can it?" Speaking of this, Kuai Yue seemed to understand something, and he was silent at the moment, but looked at Sun Qian with an inquiring face.

Feeling the meaning in Kuai Yue's eyes, Sun Qian no longer played tricks, and said with a straight face: "That's right, Sun Ce attacked me Shouchun for no reason last time, and he was repelled by me by luck." My lord knows that Jiangdong and my Xuzhou and Jingzhou all have a grit of teeth, and if it goes on like this, it will become a trouble, so he intends to join forces with Liu Jingzhou to attack Jiangdong and divide it equally! ”

Silence, deathly silence. After listening to Sun Qian's words, the people in Jingzhou were suddenly almost carried away by the huge temptation of "dividing Jiangdong equally". After a while, Liu Biao said slowly: "Since this is the case, our army will not get more than Luling in Yuzhou, and the two armies will take Poyang Lake as the boundary, and wait for me to repair the book and restore Xuande!" After speaking, Liu Biao did not wait for everyone's reaction, and directly ordered to take pen and ink and immediately reply on the spot, and then set up a banquet to entertain Sun Gan.

After the banquet in the evening, Liu Biao arranged for Sun Gan to go to the post house to stay, and then convened his subordinates to discuss the civil and military affairs. "Lord, why did you promise the big-eared thief?" Cai Mao hated Liu Bei deeply, and was also puzzled by Liu Biao's promise to join forces with Liu Bei to attack Jiangdong.

"Jiangdong has been harassing me Jingxiang for a long time, if I don't get rid of it, I am afraid it will be a big disaster! Moreover, Wen Zhongye went to Yuzhou before, Liu Bei also accepted, and now Zhao Feng's matter, if we stand by and watch, it will inevitably cause gossip. Liu Biao said slowly. Kuai Yue on the side frowned when he heard this: "That being the case, why does the lord only need two counties and six counties in Jiangdong, why not divide them equally with Liu Bei?" ”

"I'm waiting to go to a hidden danger, but only two counties are enough! If there are more cities than him Liu Xuande, he will work harder! Liu Biao said indifferently. Kuai Yue's brother Kuai Liang was thoughtful, but in the end he didn't say anything.

After getting Liu Biao's reply, Sun Qian returned to Xuzhou almost non-stop, and Liu Bei was also overjoyed when he heard the news, and summoned Zhao Feng and Lu Su and others overnight to discuss how to attack Sun Quan.

"We have to take this place first!" Lu Su and Zhao Feng's hands invariably pointed to a place on the map. This is the only city in Jiangdong on the north bank of the Yangtze River: the Lujiang River. Historically, the Lujiang River was originally divided into two by the Yangtze River, so Sun Quan and Cao Ying each accounted for a part. Now this situation naturally does not exist, the entire Lujiang County belongs to Sun Quan, but it is still divided into two parts. Among them, Jiangbei is governed by Yangquan County, while Jiangnan is governed by Shucheng County.

"That's right!" Liu Bei also felt that it made sense at first glance, and then looked at the generals under his tent and asked, "This crusade against Jiangdong Sun Quan, I don't know who is willing to lead the troops there?" ”

"The last will go!" Almost all the generals took the initiative to ask for help. Liu Bei looked at it for a long time, and finally stopped at Zhao Feng's body. "Bo Tao, are you willing to take on this important task?" Liu Bei asked in a deep voice.

"The last will go!" Zhao Feng was also excited, and took a step forward. Liu Bei looked at the young man he had known for eight years and nodded slightly.
