"With Yang Lang here, the concubine is not afraid at all."

Cai Yumei's eyes are like silk, and her beautiful eyes are full of thoughts for Yang Ling.

"That's good, I haven't seen you for a few years, I don't know if Yu'er misses her husband?"

Yang Ling smiled evilly, and a pair of An Lushan claws were already wandering restlessly.

"Yang Lang, no...... Don't ...... here"

Cai Yujiao gasped, but still held Yang Ling's hand.

Yang Ling glanced at Liu Biao's spiritual position, and said with a smile,

"I like to be here as a husband, don't you want Yu'er?"

The husband is currently guilty.

Widow.

All kinds of factors combined, it is two words, exciting!

Cai Yu wanted to refuse, but seeing Yang Ling's resolute attitude, she could only sigh helplessly in her heart, she was really wronged.

Just let him go.

Thinking so, she gave up resisting.

After a while, Liu Biao's mourning hall was full of spring.

……

After easily taking Xiangyang City, Yang Ling did not rashly wave his troops south.

Nearly 300 miles from Duyang to Xiangyang, Cao's logistics supply line was too long.

If you don't stabilize the situation, once you are attacked by Liu Bei and others, it will be troublesome.

Yang Ling first instructed Cai Yu to let her announce that Liu Cong would succeed him as the pastor of Jingzhou in the name of Liu Biao's will.

Scholars like Cai, Kuai and other scholars who took the initiative to the Cao family were rewarded one after another.

As for those scholars who were close to Liu Qi, they were purged in large numbers.

In addition, Yang Ling also issued a strict decree strictly prohibiting anything that disturbs the people.

Therefore, in just a few days, Xiangyang City was restored to its original state, and it did not experience the war at all.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Yang Ling also intended to continue to pursue Liu Bei and others and completely recover Jingzhou.

So he gathered the people together and consulted together about military affairs.

State Pastoral Office.

Although Liu Cong was the nominal state pastor, he gave up the main seat to Yang Ling, and he willingly sat under him as a puppet.

Everyone in the hall was not surprised.

You must know that Yang Ling has been living with Cai Yu these days, and he can definitely be regarded as Liu Cong's stepfather!

"Zilong, tell you the news sent back by the spies."

Yang Ling commanded.

"Whoa!"

Zhao Yun nodded, took out an official document, and told everyone.

Since the defeat and retreat to Xiangyang, Liu Bei and his party have traveled all the way south, and now they have arrived in Jiangling in Nanjun.

According to the spy, Liu Bei was fighting hard in Jiangling, preparing to resist Cao's army together with Huang Zu of Jiangxia County.

"Jiangling is an important place in Jingxiang, and the money and grain are extremely extensive, if Liu Bei is allowed to occupy it like this, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future."

Gao Rou said softly,

"The general should send troops south as soon as possible, conquer Jiangling, and completely drive Liu Bei and others south of the Yangtze River!"

"What Mr. Wen Hui said is extremely true!"

Gan Ning nodded in agreement,

"The last general is willing to be the first to take Gangneung for the general!"

"General Xingba, there are more than 400 miles to Jiangling, and most of your troops are foot soldiers. If you rush over, I'm afraid that the daylilies will be cold! ”

Wen Chou on the side smiled and said,

"It's better to leave it to me and lead the tiger and leopard to ride there, how about it?"

"That's not going to work!"

Without waiting for Gan Ning to speak, Ma Chao refused.

The two have the best relationship, and they have always acted as pioneers together.

"Actually, I think Hu Che'er and I can also be the first."

Zhang Xiu on the side also spoke quietly.

Seeing that they were fighting for who should be the first, Yang Ling couldn't help but cry and laugh.

It seems that the fierce generals under his hands are also a happy trouble!

"Don't quarrel with you, let the general decide."

Zhao Yun really couldn't stand it, so he opened his mouth to stop it.

Everyone was stunned, and then they all looked at Yang Ling.

Yang Ling touched his chin and groaned for a moment before he said,

"Where are the two generals, Zhongye and Wenchang?"

Wen Ping and Wei Yan in the crowd were stunned for a moment, and quickly stood up,

"The end will be."

"Why don't you two take the lead?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback.

You must know that Wen Ping and Wei Yan were both demoted generals, so they took refuge in them, and their loyalty had not been tested, so Yang Ling asked them to lead their troops to pursue Liu Bei.

Isn't Yang Ling afraid that the two of them will rebel again?

"There is a way to suspect people and not to use them, and to employ people without suspicion."

Yang Ling smiled faintly,

"Since the two of you are willing to serve the court, then I naturally will not doubt you."

"Thank you for the trust of the general, the last general will live up to the love of the general!"

Wen Ping's face was slightly excited, paused, and said,

"But I still ask the general to send another general to accompany me, so as not to make any mistakes with Wen Chang."

Seeing that Wen Ping was so sensible, Yang Ling didn't refuse, and after thinking about it, he said,

"Let's go with Xingba and Meng Qi!"

"Whoa!"

Gan Ning and Ma Chao excitedly took over the military order.

Wen Chou, Zhang Xiu and others, who failed to get the first place, were all full of regret.

"You can rest assured, the next battle will not be as easy as taking Xiangyang, and you will fight when the time comes."

Yang Ling smiled and reassured.

Everyone nodded yes.

……

After receiving the military order, Gan Ning, Ma Chao, Wen Ping, and Wei Yan each led a team of soldiers and horses, left Xiangyang City, and went south to Jiangling.

Among them, Ma Chao and Wei Yan led the cavalry, and they quickly whipped their horses and set off first.

If you encounter an enemy army, if you can easily take it, you will attack on your own.

If it was difficult to bite, they would temporarily pause and wait until the infantry led by Gan Ning and Wen Ping arrived, and then join forces to attack.

With their cooperation, it only took three days to work hard to connect the three cities of Kezhonglu, Chunguo, and Yicheng.

Wherever the soldiers went, the defenders of Nanjun were all looking at the wind!

After taking Yicheng, Gan Ning and others decided to rest for a day before continuing the march.

"Next, should we attack Dangyang directly, or attack Lankouju?"

Ma Chao looked at the sand table on the map and asked.

Dangyang is the only remaining heavy city on the way to Gangneung, as long as it is taken, you can wave your army to take Gangneung.

Lankouju is a water village located in Hanshui, whether it is from Hanshui south to the Yangtze River, or from the Yangtze River to Hanshui north, you need to pass through Lankouju.

Next to it is Jiangxia County.

With such a geographical location, it is really a battleground for soldiers!

"General Xingba, I think we must take down the blue mouth first."

Wen Ping said.

If you don't attack Lankou, not to mention that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's sailors can't go south into the Yangtze River.

Liu Bei, Liu Qi and others can enter the Han River from Xiakou by boat at any time and go north to attack Xiangyang.

Even if they didn't attack Xiangyang, when Cao's army besieged Jiangling, they could cut off Cao's army's supplies from the waterway.

"Having said that, there are tens of thousands of sailors there, and if we want to capture Lankou, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult."

Wei Yan touched his chin and put forward his opinion.
