The Jiangxia strategy formulated by Jiangdong was to obtain the population from here and enrich the strength of Jiangdong. Liu Feng knew that his strength could not swallow all of Jiangxia in one bite, so he only took Xia Pheasant and Exian as the target, Sha Xian was an alternative, if he had the opportunity, he would become the target of the Jiangdong army's raids, and he would not force it if he did not have the opportunity.

Before Liu Biao fought in Jingnan, Ji Ling took advantage of the situation to counterattack and seize Xincai, Zhang Ji also took the opportunity to seize the territory of Liu Biao in Nanyang, Liu Feng in order not to increase pressure on Liu Biao, after seizing Exian County, he ordered Bai Jian to stop, and made every effort to transfer the population of the two counties until the two counties were emptied.

Of course, this is only temporary, once Liu Feng evacuates, Jiangxia's population will be refreshed again, and Zhi Brain will not let there be a gap here, although it will not be as dense as the original population.

Now that Liu Biao's war in Jingnan has reached the verge of end, news came from the strangers in Changsha City that Zhang Xian was terminally ill, and even the previous daily thunderous inspection of the city wall was no longer able to carry out. Once Zhang Xian dies, Liu Biao will be able to transfer his group of generals and veterans back to Jingbei to stabilize the situation, if Liu Feng doesn't want to go to war with Liu Biao now, he can only withdraw first.

So it's time to think about it, he wants to break through Shaxian and transfer the population away before Liu Biao returns to Xiangyang.

Shaxian is already far away from Yangzhou, and there is no direct road, so this is a difficult project. However, once it is completed, Liu Biao's strength will weaken, Jiangdong's strength will increase, and the strength comparison between the two sides will be closer to each other.

So Liu Feng gave the order to attack.

Shaxian is only a small county, Huang Zu focuses on defending the counties in Jiangbei, and Shaxian is also one of the plans to clear the wilderness. Although some soldiers who fled from Xia Pheasant and Exian County have strengthened their military strength, when it comes to combat effectiveness, there is really not much improvement.

Bai Jian departed a part of his forces to attack Shaxian, and the other part went directly to clean up the surrounding township pavilions. A two-pronged approach to get there quickly.

For generals who yearn for the battlefield, this is not war at all, it is pure bullying. But even if you go through the motions, it's better than nesting in the barracks. What's more, they know that once Liu Biao returns, the relationship between the two sides will change, and there will never be a return to the past, and war is inevitable.

Sure enough, when the news of the Jiangdong Army's attack on Shaxian reached Jingnan, Liu Biao once again strengthened the siege, and this time, Zhang Xian was no longer able to return to the sky, and died on the battlefield.

As soon as Zhang Xian died, Changsha's morale was instantly gone, and Zhang Yi didn't even have time to collect his father's body, so he had to flee to Guiyang with the remnants of the defeated army.

Liu Biao's army entered the city, deeply annoyed that the people of Changsha supported Zhang Xian against him, and allowed the soldiers to plunder, and the people of Changsha ushered in three dark days.

Even if the situation in Jingbei is grim, the capture of Changsha should be celebrated, at least to encourage the brave soldiers in battle, and reward meritorious deeds, but unfortunately Liu Biao did not have this opportunity at all. Before he could fully control the situation in Changsha, he received the news that the Jingnan Navy was almost completely annihilated.

You must know that before that, although Cai Mao fought very hard, but in general he still had an advantage, after all, it was a naval army trained by Jingzhou, unlike the opponent who was united by countless forces, although it was huge, it was just a group of rabble, and Cai Mao was not afraid at all.

Just the day before, Liu Biao also received a good news from Cai Mao, after such a long time of hard fighting, he finally defeated all the naval forces in Jingnan, captured a large number of enemy troops, and captured a number of warships and supplies, but in just one day, he was completely wiped out.

This is the case, it was originally Cai Mao who defeated the enemy and was ready to celebrate to relieve the pressure for so long, and his army was still in the territory of Nanjun. But on his own territory, because he relaxed his vigilance and was careless, he let those remnants of the enemy seize the opportunity and take advantage of the drunkenness of Cai Mao's army to burn the warships of the Jingzhou army in the harbor with a fire. Cai Mao had no choice but to flee to Jiangling with dozens of warships of all sizes that escaped by luck. But Jingnan's naval army is considered to be abandoned, and Liu Biao's way to support Jiangxia from the waterway has been cut off.

Of course, this is not how strong those residual abilities are, otherwise they will be defeated by Cai Mao, but there are strangers who should be inside and outside.

Jingzhou has been in civil strife for so long, except for the fact that the lord was forcibly recruited some troops at the beginning, they have been forbearing, even if they did Liu Biao's secret chess at the beginning, they were also acting in secret. has been low-key for so long, and as soon as he made a move, it was this big deal that directly wiped out nearly half of Jingzhou's water army.

Or the Jingzhou players are just trying to weaken Liu Biao's strength, after all, the Jingnan River network is dense, and Liu Biao does not have a strong water army, and the threat to them is reduced by half. Of course, this is the same for Liu Feng, because he no longer has to worry about Liu Biao sending additional sailors to Jiangxia.

It has been confirmed that it was the remnants of the Jingnan Water Army, although in the end these evil players were exterminated by Jingnan's players and brought Cai Mao to ask for credit, but it inevitably made Cai Mao and others suspect that Jingnan Inhumans were involved, and it also minimized Liu Biao's perception of Inhumans.

And this also exacerbated the deterioration of Liu Biao's mood, and the three dark days of the people of Changsha also felt a little like the pond fish were suffering.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the Inhumans in Jingnan also know this, and they know that once Liu Biao recovers, the first thing to do is to clear those Inhuman territories on his own territory.

Don't mention the system, by this time, the princes of all walks of life can already represent the will of part of the system, as long as they do not touch the bottom line, they have a high degree of autonomy.

Three days later, Liu Biao gathered his army and prepared to cross the river and return to Jingbei. Before leaving, he officially appointed Liu Dan as the Taishou of Wuling, in addition, Han Xuan of Hanoi was the Taishou of Changsha, Changshan Zhao Dian was the Taishou of Guiyang, and Liu Pan was the Taishou of Lingling. Of course, if the latter two want to serve as Taishou, they still need to take back the territory by themselves, and Changsha is the forward base.

After arranging all this, Liu Biao began to return. Cai Mao's warships were completely lost, and it was obvious that he could no longer continue to take the waterway, and even crossing the river became a big problem, so he could only slowly return to Nanjun first, and then go to support Jiangxia or Nanyang.

The only thing that made Liu Biao happy was that although he suffered heavy losses in this war, he had trained a hundred elite soldiers.

……

What Liu Biao didn't know was that just as he left Changsha, the players in Jingzhou reached an agreement to strengthen their intervention in Jingnan and never allow Liu Biao to unify Jingnan. Even if he can't occupy this place for the time being, he will divide Jingnan into several forces.

So, they targeted Liu Dan, who has been alive until now, and Zhang Yi, who fled to Guiyang.

At the same time as Liu Biao's departure, Lu Su received Liu Feng's order to send millions of troops to attack Jiangxia from the land and approach Xiling. 8)
