"The first city lord has attacked Jiangxia again, look at the lively walk." At the forum, people began to speak.

"Let's do it, I hope it won't be like last time."

"It has nothing to do with Lao Tzu, it's better to concentrate on development and improve your strength."

"That is, when the first city lord goes to war, except for those people in Jiang ASEAN, scattered players will hardly get any benefits, and the pay is not proportional to the benefit."

"Liu Feng is a villain who takes advantage of people's danger, and he has the ability to wait for Liu Biao and Sun Jian to stop fighting before going to war."

"Fool upstairs, identification done."

"Agreed, this is war, not child's play, it's been more than 20 years, hasn't there been any growth at all?"

"If Jingzhou is taken, Jiaozhou will not be a problem, and at that time, Liu Feng will be a veritable king of Jiangdong, and he will reproduce the demeanor of Sun Wu in history."

"Lao Sun's family is still fighting with Liu Biao, Wu Hou has been robbed by Liu Feng, if the country is built again, I don't know what country name will be used."

"That's still far away, Liu Feng may not be able to take Jingzhou easily, the Divine Arrow Alliance will not sit idly by and watch Liu Feng annex Jingzhou, there will be a battle between the two."

"No, as one of the top ten guilds in the country, although it has always been low-key for fear of attracting Liu Biao's attention, it can be seen from Cai Mao's actions at the beginning that the Divine Arrow Alliance is by no means so simple. Now I really want to see the two sides face each other. ”

"Go together, go together, anyway, it's now a bottleneck, it's better to go to the battlefield and have a look."

……

As the first lord player recognized by players, Liu Feng's attention is still very high, although players at this stage have been accustomed to similar big scenes, but Liu Feng's actions still attracted a large number of people.

Some people are excited, and naturally some people are angry.

The first to bear the brunt are the people who spent money to buy the city in the first place.

However, even anger does not change the facts. Fortunately, in the past few years, in addition to taxes and conscription, Huang Zu has not managed several counties, and in three or four years, the cost has already been recovered, and he has even made a lot of money. Of course, this kind of income is based on the very poor people under his rule. Because they knew that maybe one day, Liu Feng would forcibly take back the land sold to him.

So they only care about the old money, don't care about the development of the territory, never think about the people's livelihood, and only raise an army to ensure their control.

So far, the genius has ushered in another war, which is beyond expectations.

Therefore, before Liu Feng's army arrived, the various lords of Xia Zhi left with their troops, and Liu Feng's soldiers took Jiangxia City without blood, but only some old, weak, sick and disabled people got it, and there was nothing else, and they also carried a number of burdens.

The target this time is Jingzhou, and of course the population cannot be moved away like before. Liu Feng could only leave a group of troops to maintain order and wait for the arrival of the follow-up administrative personnel, while the army continued to advance.

In order to echo the army's westward expedition, Lujiang Taishou Wu Yin sent troops to echo, and before the arrival of the army, he had already begun to attack Qichun County. This is the county seat in Jiangbei, close to the Lujiang River, and is the frontier of Jingzhou's defense of Jiangdong.

Under normal circumstances, Qichun is definitely not easy to attack, but at this time, Liu Biao only has the land of Jingbei, and he has been fighting for many years, which has caused people's livelihood to be exhausted. At the same time, Huang Zu knew that Liu Feng was attacking in a big way, clearing the wilderness, and concentrating a large number of troops on the left side of Xiling to prepare for a decisive battle, and Qi Chun's defenders were naturally fewer. In addition, these people knew that they were sitting in a lonely city and had no reinforcements, so they naturally did not have a high fighting spirit, and when the vanguard of the Western Expedition arrived across the river, Wu Yin had already gained the upper hand in the siege battle.

Three days later, the city of Qichun was broken, the county commander and the commander were killed, and the county surrendered with the chief officials of Cao.

At this point, Liu Feng pulled out the first stronghold on the periphery.

Half a month later, Exian and Heyi counties were captured by Liu Feng again, and it basically didn't take much effort.

The first battle went well.

Huang Zu once again made up his mind to stick to Xiling.

Just as Liu Biao relied on Wancheng to block Sun Jian's attack, Huang Zu also pinned his hopes on Xiling Jiancheng in an attempt to block the Jiangdong army's attack here. He never thought of going to war, because although the troops in his hands were not less than Liu Feng's Western Expeditionary Army, they only had one county, and it had become very difficult to replenish their troops after years of war. Unlike Liu Feng, with the entire Jiangdong as the backing, he can increase his troops at any time.

At present, Jiangdong is internally stable, and the only missionaries sent by Yuji have not yet had major contradictions. The Yizhou Channel is now in the world, and the turmoil has been built, but because the time is still short, no one who threatens has been found.

Therefore, Liu Feng wanted to take this opportunity to tacitly communicate with Sun Jian and seize Jingzhou.

Even if he can't achieve his goal, he will bite off a piece of meat and hit Liu Biao's forces hard.

After taking control of Yi County, it became Liu Feng's material transit station, and the north and south of the Yangtze River were closely inspected by the army to prevent large-scale troops from approaching. The Yangtze River channel was cut off by the Jiangdong Navy at the beginning of the war, and the entire lower reaches of the Yangtze River could be passed except for the merchant warships on Liu Feng's side, and there were no other ships.

In the area of the Yangtze River estuary of Zhangdu Lake, there is the Jiangdong Navy led by Zhou Yu and the Jiangxia Navy led by Huang Zu himself. Yes, in a few years, Jingzhou once again built a fleet that was not inferior to the previous one, the only drawback was the newly trained army, which did not have the previous army with actual combat experience.

The only large building ship is still the flagship where Huang Zu is. The construction of large building ships is too difficult, the materials are hard to find, the top shipbuilders are hard to find, and the chances of success are even slimmer. Liu Biao has been busy with the security of the north, and has invested too much on land, so naturally he does not have too much financial and material resources to support the construction of large building ships.

However, after several years, Jiangdong's naval army has not stagnated, and it is no longer the same as the last war. Although the hard-won construction materials of the two large building ships were successfully wasted, the number of medium-sized building ships was no less than that of Huang Zu, and the army had been tempered for four years and had stronger combat effectiveness.

But the battle on the water is not easy, it may be a big battle and a direct death decision, or it may be a situation where there is no main force to face each other for months.

Zhangdu Lake is not large, but it is not small, and there are many reefs, islands, and rivers that flow into it, and it is easy to hide thousands of warships. Zhou Yu sent people to block the mouth of the Yangtze River to prevent the Jiangxia Navy from taking advantage of the chaos, and they fought with Huang Zu in this small Zhangdu Lake, constantly looking for the main force of Huang Zu's fleet.

I don't know the other side, but he has patience and time.

should be in a hurry, it is Huang Zu.

The guard of Xiling City is Huang Jie, Huang Zu's own son, but Huang Zu, who is too guarded, is not present, and in the face of the overwhelming army, Huang Zhu still feels a little overwhelmed.

The Xiling soldiers are well fed, and they are guarded by a large array, so they are not safe for a while. But if Huang Zu does not appear for a long time, it will inevitably cause panic.

Zhou Yu firmly believed that even if he didn't go to Huang Zu, Huang Zu would find an opportunity to fight him.

What he has to do is not to give Huang Zu a chance to hit himself hard before this.
