"How's the army preparing?" After the generals arrived, Liu Feng went straight to the point.

"The 8 million army is ready, and all of them are in place in Yuzhang, ready to fight at any time." Bai Jian said.

"There are no problems with the defense of the rear, right?" Liu Feng asked.

"The lord can rest assured that the security of the rear has been deployed, and there are sufficient soldiers to ensure that there is no chaos in the place. Otherwise, we'll be able to draw half more men to fight. Bai Jian continued to reply.

"That's good, how is the food, grass, and armor prepared?" Liu Feng continued to ask.

"After a year's efforts, Yuzhang has hoarded the grain and grass needed by the army of 8 million for a year, and if necessary, it can still be mobilized from the counties for another year, but in this way, there can be no major action in the rest of the place." Sheng Xian said that in order to accumulate war preparation materials, he was not less worried this year, but fortunately, he finally completed the set goal, "The armor of all ministries has been in place, and the treasury of Yuzhang has also hoarded a large number of armor for replacement, and the siege equipment has also been in place, and the arrows are fully prepared." However, in this way, the military consumption is too great, and the funds for development are less, and there is basically no surplus in the government treasury. ”

"It's okay, everything is aimed at this battle, and then think about other things after the fight." Liu Feng said, "Is there an obstacle to the road? ”

"Rest assured, the road from Nanchang to Jiangxia has been built, and there will be no obstacles before entering Jingzhou."

"That's good, in fact, if Liu Biao's strength wasn't stronger than Zhang Xian, I really wanted to attack Changsha directly. But in that case, Liu Biao will reap the benefits. He has nothing to lose, and he will definitely not allow us to enter Jingzhou. As he spoke, Liu Feng looked at Zhou Yu, "Gong Jin, how is the preparation of the water army?" ”

"Don't worry, you won't let your lord down. Even if they can't defeat the Jiangxia Naval Army, it won't give them a chance to rush to the aid of the land. With an extra year of training, Zhou Yu is very confident.

Zhou Yu can be said to be too young, and he is in a high position, in charge of the power of the navy, although the navy is recognized by the whole army, but for others, there is always a feeling of relying on nepotism. Therefore, Zhou Yu also urgently needs a war to show his ability. The extermination of the water village before was just a practice, and it was not a war at all.

"Well, in the Jiangnan area, the water network is dense, and the water army plays a very important role in the war. The Jingzhou Navy is strong, so Gong Jin, your task is very heavy. This is the first confrontation between the Jiangdong Navy and the Jingzhou Navy Army, and you must pay attention to it. Liu Feng told again.

"The subordinates are willing to make a military order to ensure the completion of the task." Zhou Yu's answer was resounding.

Of course, the "military order" is just an expression of determination, of course Liu Feng will not agree, and this is not a big tent in the army, but just a meeting hall of the Zhendong General's Mansion.

"Then, let's discuss the question of who will go out and who will stay behind!" Liu Feng continued.

As soon as the words fell, most people's eyes focused on one person.

"No, no matter how you look at me, I didn't have my share in the few expeditions, so it's my turn to fight this time." He Qi tried his best to get rid of the fate of his 10,000-year-old guard.

But unfortunately, Liu Feng still followed everyone's opinions, and He Qi stayed in the rear again.

It's not that Liu Feng doesn't want He Qi to go on the expedition together, it's just that in terms of ability, He Qi can be said to be the best candidate among the generals.

In such an important military operation, Bai Jian went out as the leader of the army as the governor of the capital, Tai Shici and Lu Su defended one side, Dian Wei, Wu Yin and other commanders were too poor, and Lu Meng had not yet grown up...... Only He Qi can reassure Liu Feng that everyone else is a little worse.

Bai Jian continued to lead the army, Xun Yu accompanied the army as a military advisor, Wu Yin was the vanguard of the army, and Yu Zhang was too guarded by Tai Shici to guard the rear, supporting or responding at any time, and at the same time preventing Zhang Xian from entering Yangzhou.

In terms of the navy, Zhou Yu is in command, Zhang Hong is with the army, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai are among them, this time Liu Feng will take Dian Wei and act with Zhou Yu. He wanted to see Zhou Yu's water battle strength. After all, the last time I cleared the water thieves, I couldn't show my strength at all.

……

Jingnan's rebellion was very noisy, and naturally attracted the attention of the world. Especially Yuan Shu, after hearing the news, immediately issued orders to Ji Ling of Runan and Yuan Yin of Ruyin, preparing to take this opportunity to take back Runan occupied by Liu Biao, and if there was a chance, they would even want them to seize Jiangxia and take a defensive position against Sun Jian in Yingchuan.

In fact, even if Yuan Shu didn't take a defensive position, Sun Jian no longer had the idea of continuing to seize Pingyu. Cao Cao's ability He knew it a long time ago, and since he captured Chen Liu, he had always been wary of Cao Cao's counterattack, even if he was still in the alliance to fight Yuan. Therefore, as soon as Cao Cao launched the Battle of Chenliu, Sun Jian immediately stopped the Battle of Runan.

Yuan Shu made a good calculation, Zhang Ji's strength was not good, Sun Jian was busy competing with Cao Cao for Chen Liu, Liu Biao's Jingzhou had internal problems, and Liu Feng was also busy preparing for the westward expedition to Jiangxia, which was a good opportunity for him to show his strength.

But it's a pity that Liu Biao was prepared for a long time, and originally attacked Runan, just to give Zhang Xian a false impression of internal emptiness and prompt him to rebel early. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Xian announced the start of the army, Liu Biao immediately terminated the battle with Yuan Shu, leaving Wang Wei to continue to confront Ji Ling, defend the city, and the army immediately returned to the division.

It is not very correct to say that it is a large army, Liu Biao's elite forces did not go far from Xiangyang at all, so soon, Liu Biao gathered the army and personally took command, and took Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Wen Ping, Li Yan and others to Jingnan. By the way, there is also Huang Zhong with him.

Zhang Xian has been operating in Jingnan for more than ten years, has a good official reputation, and has close ties with the Jingnan clan, so even if Liu Biao knew that this was a hidden danger, he could not be dismissed at will, and he could only take this method to force Zhang Xian to show his true face before he could start to solve the problem.

It can be said that Zhang Xian's army is doomed to failure, if it were not for Liu Feng's participation.

Not to mention that the strength of the Jingbei family is above Jingnan, and it can crush Jingnan with two counties, so it is said that Zhang Xian's slogan is problematic. What "violates the system" and "disrespects the imperial court", under the premise that Yuan Shu arrogants and becomes the emperor, it is not a matter. Besides, Liu Biao is still a relative of the Han family, a general of Zhengnan and a pastor of Jingzhou appointed by the imperial court. It's not the period when Cao Cao controlled the imperial court in history, and the imperial court in Jinyang hasn't spoken yet, what are you doing here. If you really want to have that heart, you might as well go to crusade against Yuan Shu!

But with Liu Feng's participation, the ending becomes unpredictable, and there is also a top ten guild in the country involved.

Liu Biao ignored one point, he had made a lot of preparations for Zhang Xian's rebellion, but there were more people who prepared for him.

……

At the end of April in the fifth year of Jian'an, Liu Biao's army arrived in Changsha and officially began to quell the rebellion in Jingnan.

In mid-May, Liu Feng sent troops to Jiangxia on the grounds that Liu Biao had illegally detained the eldest princess's concubine.
