Lujiang, Xunyang, temporary docking place of Jiangdong fleet.

Although Chaisang is the base of the Jiangdong Naval Army, it takes not a day to start from here and enter Jiangxia along the Yangtze River. This emergency port in Xunyang has become the forefront of entering Jingzhou.

Although it is not very large and cannot accommodate all the warships, it can at least allow the fleet to be repaired after a long march. Although in Zhou Yu's opinion, the training intensity of the Jiangdong Navy is more than that, but Liu Feng insisted on repairing.

He knew what the navy was facing. The lone army went deep, facing the famous Jingzhou naval army, fighting for a long time, facing life and death, and for a long time, there will be no chance to repair. Or, it will continue until the end of the war.

"Gong Jin, maybe in this battle, the enemy you face will be even stronger." Before leaving, Liu Feng said to Zhou Yu meaningfully.

"Did the lord get any news again?" Zhou Yu knew that his father-in-law had invested a lot in intelligence.

"You're going to face a big guy you've never seen before." Thinking of the news from the Intelligence Hall, Liu Feng had a headache. Originally, it was already in a weak position on the surface, but if this news is finally confirmed, the western expedition of the Jiangdong Navy will be even more bumpy.

"But now that we've come to this point, we can't afford to retreat." Zhou Yu said in a deep voice.

"I know, that's why I'm so entangled." Liu Feng sighed.

"Then, my lord, my subordinates will go all out and live up to my lord's trust." Zhou Yu said solemnly.

……

When the Jiangdong Navy was advancing, the army had already begun to move, and Wu Yin's vanguard army had already advanced along the Chi Road all the way to the Jiangxia border.

Fighting could break out at any moment.

Before the battle in Jingnan began, Liu Biao summoned his advisers to discuss countermeasures, taking into account various situations. In short, for the battle of Jiangxia, take a defensive position and wait for work to meet Jiangdong.

Therefore, even if Jiangxia has an advantage in the strength of the naval army, there is no intention of taking the initiative to attack. After all, relatively speaking, the attacking side will consume more. Even with Liu Biao's years of accumulation, it is a little difficult to deal with the tripartite battlefield at the same time. What's more, he must also leave enough troops to guard against Liu Zhang of Yizhou and Zhang Ji of Nanyang.

On the whole, in addition to the superiority of the naval army, Jiangxia's strength is weaker than Jiangdong, after all, Liu Feng is gathering the strength of the entire Jiangdong to conquer Jiangxia. Even if Jiangxia's army is not less than Jiangdong in terms of total volume, it is obviously inferior in combat effectiveness. What's more, the Jiangxia soldiers still have to guard the fourteen counties of Xujun, and their forces are scattered, so they can't form a joint force like the Jiangdong Army.

The battle was first started on the Yangtze River, at the place of Xiapheasant, where the river and the rich water meet.

In fact, it is not a battle, Jiangxia's navy has been concentrated by Huang Zu, and there are only some small boats left here, after Zhou Yu found out the situation, he sent a team to be responsible for exterminating the pheasant army, and the rest did not stop at all and continued to move forward.

On the contrary, Wu Yin, the vanguard of the army who had already entered Jiangxia, began to uproot the various township pavilions scattered in various places one by one.

Knowing that his strength was insufficient, in order to delay the attack of the Jiangdong Army, Huang Zu ordered Jiangxia to clear the wilderness and forcibly move the people from the township pavilions outside the city into the city.

Of course, the county seat cannot accommodate all the people, so they can only selectively move into the townships, and basically the pavilion is abandoned. Except, of course, from the player's territory. Even though Huang Zu had asked all lords to levy half of their troops to assist in defending the city, resulting in a great reduction in the strength of the lord players, there were still people staying in the territory outside the city, and even taking the opportunity to seize the territory.

Of course, small cities can't stop Wu Yin's vanguard army, especially a large number of people entering the city, resulting in chaos in the city, and they can't unite to fight the enemy, and even some players are dragging their feet, taking advantage of the time when the county soldiers have no time to take care of it, thinking of grabbing the power of a township.

But they forgot that even if they seized power, after Liu Feng came over, they would still be destroyed in the war.

Compared with the Central Plains, the undeveloped Jiangnan region is too underpopulated and has few manpower, so many factors must be considered when building the city. Therefore, many times, the county seat in the south of the Yangtze River is concentrated in one area, and more often than not, a large area of land is concentrated in one county, such as Hou Guan, such as Wu Yin's attacking pheasant.

There are 14 counties in Jiangxia, but south of the Yangtze River, there are only 3 counties on a large area of land, and they are all on the edge of the Yangtze River.

The territory area is too large, the township pavilions are more scattered, and more often, Wu Yin's army is not used to fight the enemy, but on the road.

Wu Yin's vanguard army is as large as one million, and it is naturally not a problem to break through a small city, but for a county seat, it is somewhat insufficient. So after entering the Pheasant, Wu Yin has been cleaning up the Pheasant townships and the Inhuman territory that is still outside the city, paving the way for the army to besiege the Pheasant.

Soon, the number of people captured by the vanguard army was too large to bear, so they could only stop and wait for the arrival of the follow-up army to transfer these captured people to Yangzhou, and then digest and absorb them and turn them into the people of Jiangdong.

……

Although Xiling is the county of Jiangxia, but it is no longer on the edge of the Yangtze River, Huang Zu after getting the news that the Jiangdong naval army entered Jiangxia, immediately took the army to feel the proposed battlefield.

The vast river between Yi County and E County is the location of the water battle selected by Huang Zu. Relying on Zhangdu Lake and Liangzi Lake, Huang Zu built large water villages in the two counties to train the water army.

The naval battalion of Exian County is the front line, and the second line of defense is the second line of defense. Now Huang Zu has personally arrived in Exian County, preparing to face the Jiangdong Navy here.

Just when Bai Jian's army entered Jiangxia and began to accept prisoners and transfer to Jiangdong, Liu Feng and Zhou Yu also entered the territory of Exian.

This place is different from the pheasant that was abandoned by Huang Zu, but there are a large number of warships, and if Huang Zu is defeated here, it will not be able to move forward. Otherwise, you will fall into a situation of being caught between the front and back.

Chaotic harbors, messy bright red, hoarse roars...... All of them are signs of the aftermath of the Great War.

It was a very small port, and Zhou Yu's army docked here, ready to rest for the night before moving on. After all, continuous rush will lead to fatigue and morale of the soldiers.

But obviously, this small port cannot accommodate so many warships, except for a small number of warships that can sail into the port, more can only rely on this anchor, connected together, to prevent being carried away by the river.

This is also the enemy's territory, and it can be said that it has reached the hinterland of Jingzhou, and it is by no means a safe place. Zhou Yu didn't dare to guarantee the safety of this place, so there were still a large number of scouts who continued to move forward in small boats to see if there was a fleet attacking. Outside, there are warships ready for battle at all times, and even on land, it is best to be prepared for battle.

It was not that he was willing to camp here, but he had to make sure that his soldiers had good morale and a relatively good rest before the battle, rather than traveling thousands of miles to fight the enemy who was waiting for his work.

This is not Jiangdong, there are not so many options, so you can only settle.

Huang Zu didn't give Zhou Yu a chance to choose, and on the first night Zhou Yu entered Exian County, he gave Zhou Yu a surprise.
