Huang Zu is not a mediocre talent, otherwise Liu Biao would not have let him resist Jiangdong in Jiangxia for so many years, although he suffered several defeats, he never lost the city after all. Zhou Yu is not a god, it is impossible to expect everything, and he did not expect Huang Zu to escape at all.

Therefore, all the Jiangdong Army got was an empty water village, and Huang Zu's last water army was finally preserved. Especially in terms of battleships, the last few medium-sized building ships, especially the large building ships, basically did not suffer much loss, and the ones abandoned by Huang Zu were all small ships.

If left unattended, based on these people, Jingzhou will soon be able to form a naval army again, which is not in line with Zhou Yu's expectations. So without any hesitation, Zhou Yu ordered to abandon the camp in Yixian, leaving the army to continue to attack Yixian, and he personally led the fleet and made a detour to pursue.

Liu Biao was already rushing back with all his might, Zhangdu Lake was so vast, and it was Huang Zu's territory, and Zhou Yu was not sure if he could find Huang Zu's trace in the end, so he could only rely on luck. This time, even the players couldn't help Liu Feng much.

To this day, the surface of the water is still out of reach for most players.

……

Zhou Yu finally did not continue his good luck again, in the next 8 days, he only met Huang Zu's fleet once, and he only bit his tail, sinking a medium-sized building ship and thousands of Jiangxia sailors again, and was once again ridden by Huang Zu. After all, Huang Zu is also an expert in water warfare, and water warfare is not a land war, once you get rid of it, it is difficult to find traces, and Huang Zu will definitely not give Zhou Yu's scouts the location of their main force.

Then, Zhou Yu had to withdraw from Zhangdu Lake and began to gather troops. Because the army mobilized to Jiangbei was too small, it only threatened Yi County, bulldozed several township pavilions outside the city, and then withdrew. Lu Su's attack on Xiling also stopped, and slowly withdrew to Anhui City, this attack was not of much effect.

On the 10th day, Liu Biao's reinforcements arrived in Jiangxia, the Jiangdong Army had all withdrawn to Jiangnan, and Lu Su also returned to the territory of Lujiang. At the same time, Bai Jian, Xun You and others once again emptied Shaxian and plundered a large number of people.

This was the greatest wealth that Liu Feng had obtained in this expedition to the west, and in comparison, the naval army that destroyed most of Huang Zu could only rank second.

Liu Biaoqiang endured the desire to start a war with Jiangdong and did not send troops south (in fact, he was unable to cross the river to the south), because he needed to ensure the safety of Xiangyang and prevent the deterioration of the war on the Nanyang side.

So in the next half month, the two sides were at peace, and Liu Biao sat back and watched the Jiangdong Army empty the three counties, acquiescing to this fact.

But there is also a strategy for retreating, and Liu Feng chose a special one.

He cooperated with players and "sold" the territory of the three counties to players, and it was not limited to Jingzhou players.

Of course, it would be too bad to say "sell", but it was those players who "repelled" the Jiangdong Army and recovered the city.

This is a great credit, even if Liu Ming knows the truth of the matter, he can't really do it to those players who have just "made meritorious contributions", on the contrary, he has to give them rewards in recognition of their merits. Otherwise, Liu Biao will lose the hearts of the people, this is the invisible constraint of the wisdom brain on the princes within the rules, otherwise, those highly intelligent characters see the threat of the player, and desperately try their best to strangle the player, how can the game continue.

Therefore, the princes can only suppress the Inhumans within the rules, such as sending the army of the lord player to fight with them, and cannot carry out humane destruction without asking the reason.

Therefore, even if Liu Biao knew the truth, he could only acquiesce in the absence of evidence, because these players did recover the city through war, but they encountered the withdrawal of the Jiangdong Army and did not want to fight, so they easily succeeded. But you can't doubt it because it's too easy to admit it, otherwise, it will be inconsistent with Liu Biao's consistent style, and it will also affect the views of those historical celebrities hidden in Jingzhou on Liu Biao.

Yes, Jingzhou's talents can be said to be second only to the Jinyang Imperial Court, and they are not inferior to Hebei and the Central Plains, Sima Hui, Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan...... These are all extremely prestigious people, the younger generation, as well as Liu Ba, Liao Li, Pang Tong, Ma's Five Constants, etc., and even Zhuge Liang may live in seclusion here as in history. These are all talents that Liu Feng has always coveted, Liu Biao has the convenience of being close to the water, but he has never been able to get their full support.

Without mention, the "sold" city was sold, but the price was not high, after all, most of the population was moved away by the Jiangdong Army, and valuable things were also taken away by Liu Feng, leaving only an empty shelf. A pavilion (including a small town) is only 10,000 gold, and a county town is 100,000 gold, which can be said to be the price of cabbage. The reason why it is so cheap is because Liu Feng said in advance that after the sale, it is up to them whether they can get it or not, in case Liu Biao takes back the ownership of the city, it has nothing to do with him. And he can only guarantee that he will not take the initiative to attack Jiangxia within 1 year.

The conditions are harsh, because no one sells the front foot, and the back foot may be recaptured, which is equivalent to turning his hand and collecting so much money for nothing. But even so, there are many players rushing to buy, not to mention others, the key is that the price is low, as long as some homeless people are refreshed, they will soon be able to develop, even if there is only one pavilion, a year later, even if they only farm can make a lot of money. What's more, after buying, you will get merit from Liu Biao, why not.

Even Yunshui City, which has always been developing in Jiangling, sent people to come after learning the news, and spent 1 million gold to directly buy all Sha Xian, wanting to expand his power. As for whether he can keep it, it's none of Liu Feng's business.

There are also people in Jiangdong who want to buy it, and after following Liu Feng for so long, many people have accumulated a lot of money in their hands, but unfortunately, even if they are ranger players, because they have been in Jiangdong for a long time and fought with the Jiangdong army, they have been labeled as Jiangdong, and they are hostile to Jingzhou, even if they buy it, it is useless, they will be directly exterminated by Liu Biao, so they can only give up.

……

Time just slipped away, and after Liu Feng dealt with the harvest of the Battle of Jiangxia, it was already winter again, and the five years of Jian'an were about to pass.

This year, the whole Huaxia District continued to have major events, and it was not until this time that they subsided.

Yuan Shu finally failed to block the attack of Sun Jian and Cao Cao, Chen State was captured by Sun Jian, and Liang State was also occupied by Cao Cao.

Of course, the blank is not long. After Ji Ling withdrew, Sun Jian began to continue southward, but because Cao Cao was still fighting for control, he could not march on a large scale.

At the same time, Liu Biao, who returned to Xiangyang, also had a new move.
