A simple meal.

Only Yao Yu, including these high-ranking people, ate some food made of coarse grains, and as for the 20,000 troops, they were all hungry.

For a time, the soldiers below were complained.

For them, they only knew that the purpose of going south this time was to quell the rebellion, and they did not know that Yao Yu's real purpose was to target the entire Jingzhou.

In their opinion, I came to Jingzhou thousands of miles to do things for you, and I didn't even entertain you, and I couldn't see your sincerity, wouldn't it chill everyone.

But Shan Jian never cared about this, he was a high-ranking family of gate valves, so why should he care about the feelings of the grassroots soldiers below?

In this way, Yao Yu stayed in Xiangyang for two days, during which no matter how Shan Jian hinted at him, Yao Yu just didn't leave, and had to look inside Xiangyang City, so he set off for Jiangling, the seat of Jingzhou.

After all, it's a counterinsurgency, and I must inform Wang Cheng of Jingzhou's assassin history.

Unexpectedly, Shan Jian's attitude was contemptuous enough, and Wang Cheng was even better.

Even, this assassin did not show up to receive him at all, but immersed himself in the gentle township, and handed over the task of receiving Yao Yu to his subordinate Guo Shu.

That Guo Shu is also a dog-legged character, relying on Wang Cheng's favor, he commanded Yao Yuyi.

Yao Yu didn't react, but Yao Bao Shen Cheng and the others who accompanied the army couldn't bear their temper.

They asked Yao Yu one after another, since they were ready to annex Jingzhou, it was better to take advantage of it now.

Anyway, Wang Cheng was not prepared, as long as he started, it was not impossible to win in a battle.

It is true that he said so, but Yao Yu also has his own plans.

When he first arrived in Jingzhou, he was not familiar with everything, and he did not exert kindness on the people, so even if he took Jiangling, it would be difficult to take over Jingzhou.

The best way now is to put down the rebellions in Jingzhou first and establish your own prestige.

Then take over Jingzhou.

Thinking of this, Yao Yu stopped everyone's thoughts.

"General Yao, Jun, now the anti-thief Chen Min is powerful, and he is forcing Jiangxia. Wang Tingshi means that you should be stationed in Anlu to defend against Chen Min. Please rest assured, Wang Tingshi will continue to provide ordnance and food for the generals and soldiers. Help the generals defeat the thieves. This is an official matter, and please don't shirk it. ”

Guo Shu said to Yao Yu with a smile on his face.

The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, then Guo Shu is so polite, and Yao Yu is not ambiguous, no, he smiled slightly: "This general went south this time to quell the rebellion, how could he shirk it." Please also ask Mr. to tell Wang Tingshi about Chen Min and leave it to me. As long as Thorn Shi was in charge of logistics and supply, Ben would never let Chen Min take a step into Jingzhou. ”

Guo Shu sighed with an exaggerated expression and said: "Jingzhou can have generals and soldiers, which is really a blessing for the people." That being the case, then congratulations to the generals and military horses on their success. ”

Yao Yu smiled and waved his hand, and after the two exchanged polite words, Yao Yu turned around and went back to the camp.

He just came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and the class Suo Hong, Yong according to Yao Bao and other civil and military cadres waited early.

Seeing Yao Yu, everyone rushed up to inquire about the situation.

"Oh, it's nothing, Guo Shu asked us to stay in Anlu to guard against Chen Min."

Like Yao Bao, the class watch, they didn't think there was anything, but Chen Zhong, who had been in Jingzhou for a long time, was taken aback: "My lord, did you attack Chen Min just when you came up?" Wouldn't it be too reluctant? ”

Yao Bao was puzzled, so he asked Chen Zhong: "Is this Chen Min very strong?" ”

Chen Zhong's face was a little solemn: "It can't be said that he is very strong, he should be the strongest thief in the south except for Cheng Han and Li Xiong." In the early years, Chen Min as Guangling Xiang went to the East China Sea under the command of the king, because of the pacification of the thief Zhang Chang meritorious, was worshiped as the right general army, later, he saw the war in the north, the court was flawless in the south, so he rebelled, supported tens of thousands, called himself the Duke of Chu, all according to the land of Sanwu. Today, it has been in business for several years and is deeply rooted. For a time, it was difficult to plot. If we attack him, it will easily lead to a lose-lose situation. ”

Everyone was taken aback when they heard Chen Zhong's description.

Good guy, this Chen Min turned out to be so strong. An anti-thief can actually achieve more than 100,000 people.

No, he occupies the land of Sanwu, so Wang Cheng will watch it as the assassin of Jingzhou?

No matter what, Jingzhou is adjacent to Yangzhou, how can he do this.

Asking about the doubts, Chen Zhong smiled bitterly: "That Wang Cheng was originally relying on his brother, that is, the Taiwei Wang Yancai to make the history of Jingzhou's assassination. A man of noble birth like him has nothing but pleasure in it. And how can it be possible to govern a good place. Nowadays, Wang Cheng is nominally the history of Jingzhou. However, except for the southern county where Gangneung is located, the rest of the counties are either self-reliant or thieves are rampant. In this case, it is enough to talk about Chen Min as Wuxi Man of Wuling County, which is enough to make Wang Cheng scramble. ”

Hearing Chen Zhong's words, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

Good guy, this Wang Cheng is a talent, how did he manage a state and only one county left?

Just when everyone was relatively speechless to each other, Yao Yu clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention: "Okay, okay, then how can Wang Cheng leave him alone." He likes to govern how to govern, we are here this time to annex Jingzhou. What about Chen Min's strength. The bigger his ability, the better, as long as we clean him up, the prestige in the hearts of the people will be higher. Don't stand stupid, get ready. ”

After speaking, Yao Yu waved his hand and ended the meeting.

Three days later, the army set out from Gangneung and came all the way to Anlu.

Standing on the warship prepared by Wang Cheng, Yao Yu looked at the river with some distraction.

"My lord, I'm worried that this time the battle with Chen Min will not be so simple."

Just as Yao Yu was looking at the river, behind him, Chen Zhong came worriedly.

Yao Yu turned his head and glanced at him: "What's wrong?" Don't have confidence in me? ”

Chen Zhong hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, of course not, no matter what time it is, you are invincible." What I'm worried about is that Chen Min has occupied the land of Sanwu for many years, and his naval army can fight habitually. Most of our troops are northerners and are not accustomed to water warfare. Originally, our side had a numerical disadvantage, and if we rashly started a war with Chen Min, the situation would be difficult to control. ”

Yao Yu smiled: "Don't worry about this, before I came, I picked out about a thousand soldiers in the army." Although it is still not as good as the native southerners. However, with them, we will not have such a big disadvantage on the water. ”

Chen Zhong sighed: "Only more than a thousand people? My lord, then Chen Min's subordinates alone have 50,000 sailors and 1,000 warships. ”

"These are all false, no matter how strong the navy is, can he directly kill the city wall? Don't you have to rely on the infantry? Ann, in terms of infantry combat effectiveness, I, Yao Yu, have not been afraid of anyone. ”
