Jiangxia County.

Zhisho Xiling.

At this time, the banner of Cao Jun had been planted up and down in Xiling City.

On the naval ships of Xiling Ferry, the flag of the word "Cao" was also replaced.

Su Ming gave an order, posted a notice to reassure the people, and issued a strict military order, anyone who harassed the people by the army would be killed.

Among the government offices.

Su Ming stood in front of the military map, staring at the map of the entire territory of Jiangxia with blazing eyes.

Jiangxia has a total of thirteen counties, and now, Su Ming has only taken Xiling, and the rest of the counties have not been recovered.

However, there are a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses under Huang Zu's command, and more than 10,000 on the Xiling side. The remaining 20,000 are distributed in various counties.

Now, Huang Zu has been captured, and the main troops under his command have also been absorbed.

As long as Jingzhou does not send troops, it is not a big problem to take the thirteen counties of Jiangxia.

After taking Xiling County, Su Ming was not in a hurry to send troops to capture the rest of the territory.

Instead, it is organizing the collection of soldiers and horses, which stabilizes the situation in Xiling.

In fact, Su Ming was still waiting to see Liu Biao's attitude in Jingzhou.

According to Su Ming's understanding of history, Liu Biao in his later years has lost his enterprising heart and is a dog of success.

However, before there was no news from Jingzhou, Su Ming still didn't dare to act rashly.

The battle of Guandu is imminent, and the combatable soldiers in the hands of Boss Cao are not abundant.

After taking Xiling County, Cao Hong and Xu Chu had already led 2,000 leopard horsemen to the front line of Guandu.

At this time, the soldiers and horses that Su Ming's men could use were Qin Qi's five thousand recruits, as well as the soldiers and horses of the original Huang Zu who had been recruited.

With a force of more than 10,000 troops, if Liu Biao in Jingzhou sent troops, Su Ming could only stick to Xiling and give up the idea of plotting the entire territory of Jiangxia.

Su Ming has already sent people to keep an eye on the movements of Jingzhou at all times, and if Liu Biao sends troops to attack, Su Ming can only defend.

If Liu Biao didn't send troops to come, then Su Ming would send troops to attack the entire territory of Jiangxia.

These days, what we have to do is to train the soldiers and horses, especially the troops under the command of Huang Zu, who have been recruited, and we must step up the training to prevent them from defecting in battle.

......

......

I waited for more than half a month.

The soldiers and horses under his command have almost been trained, and the five thousand soldiers and horses under Qin Qi's command have also become a little elite after experiencing the first battle of Xiling.

Under the training of Su Fei and Gan Ning, the two good brothers, the recruited troops also had the strength to fight.

Su Ming is not suspicious of employing people, but not suspicious people.

Since it was decided to reuse Su Fei and Gan Ning, he simply delegated his power completely. Surrender all the troops to the two commanders.

At this time, Su Ming had a total of more than 12,000 soldiers and horses, including more than 5,000 naval troops, more than 5,000 army troops, and 2,000 cavalry.

The soldiers and horses are almost trained, and now they are just waiting for the news from Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

These days, Jingzhou is also carrying out the transfer of troops and horses.

However, they didn't come to fetch Jiangxia.

Liu Biao adopted Zhang Yun's strategy and wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

He wanted to wait until the results of the battle of Guandu were clear before deciding whether to attack Jiangxia.

Now, Liu Biao is transferring troops to Nanjun and Nanyang County.

Huang Zhong led 20,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Nanyang County, and Wei Yan was his deputy general.

The veteran general Li Yan led 20,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Nanjun, and Wen was hired as his deputy general.

The soldiers and horses that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun gave to Huang Zhong and Li Yan were all old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, and the real elite was actually in Cai Mao's hands.

The reason why Liu Biao sent troops like this was also because he listened to Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's suggestions.

Liu Biao's back disease is getting worse and worse, and his physical condition is getting worse day by day.

Perhaps, Liu Biao was not on the spot that day, and he passed.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun combined, since this is the case, simply send all these foreign aides from Gongzi Liu Qi.

When the time comes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

If Liu Biao couldn't get up in one breath that day, the two of them would directly support Liu Cong to succeed him.

When the time comes, Li Yan and Huang Zhong will not be able to quench their thirst and help Liu Qi.

Huang Zhong and Li Yan are all rectums, and they are eager to take down Jiangxia and make military achievements.

Therefore, even if they realize that there is fraud in it, they can only transfer troops according to the plan.

The worst thing is Liu Qi, who is helpless in the face of all this, and there is nothing to be done.

I have to say that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have the only bit of intelligence and intelligence they have are all used against their own people.

......

......

When Su Ming took Xiling County, he had already sent a scout to Jingzhou to listen to Jingzhou's movements.

After finding out the movements of the Jingzhou army, he immediately came to report.

"Report!" The fine wind that came back from Jingzhou returned to Xiling, and along the way, two horses were killed, which brought the latest news.

"Report to Su Taishou, Jingzhou transferred Huang Zhong to guard Nanyang County, and transferred Li to guard Nanjun County, and there is no preparation to send troops to Jiangxia for the time being."

After listening to the scout's report, Su Ming's face showed a look of great joy.

"Liu Jingsheng! Liu Jingsheng! ”

"You really didn't disappoint me, you are a dog who keeps the promise!" Su Ming patted his thighs and muttered excitedly.

Everything was planned, Liu Biao was as expected, he just wanted to guard his Jingzhou, and he didn't want to clash with Cao Cao head-on.

Even if this Jiangxia was one of the nine counties of Jingxiang, even if he could take Jiangxia with a wave of his army, Liu Biao still had to wait for the results of the battle of Guandu to become clear before he dared to make a move.

After waiting for so many days, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

Now, the east wind is coming!

"Come on, beat the drums and gather the generals." Su Ming immediately gave an order to his soldiers.

Soon, the three-way military drum sounded, and Su Ming summoned his generals to come to the meeting.

About half an hour later, several generals came to the palace one after another.

The three leaders are Qin Qi, Su Fei, and Gan Ning.

In the latter, there are also generals Zhang Hu, Chen Qi, Chen Sheng, Lu Gong and others.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Su Ming immediately asked straight to the point: "Generals, are the soldiers and horses fully trained?" ”

As soon as Su Ming's words fell, the hot-tempered Gan Ning arched his hand and said: "Lord Qiqi, you have already practiced well. ”

"Are you going to take the whole territory of Jiangxia? It should have been like this a long time ago, but these days have suffocated me! ”

Since taking Xiling County, Su Fei and Gan Ning have been reused.

Under Su Ming's command, the rights of the two of them were equal to Qin Qi.

As a general, he has made every inch, but he has never enjoyed the reuse under the command of Huang Zu.

This made Gan Ning feel very uncomfortable, so Gan Ning was eager to make meritorious contributions.

A few days ago, Gan Ning asked for war many times to take the entire territory of Jiangxia.

However, they were all rejected by Su Ming on the grounds of preparing troops and horses.

Today, Su Ming beat drums and gathered the generals, and asked them if the soldiers and horses were well trained, Gan Ning thought to himself, this must be to take the entire territory of Jiangxia.

At this time, Gan Ning was like a tiger that had been howling, eager to hunt its prey.

At this moment, outside of Gan Ning, the rest of the generals were also staring at Su Ming with blazing eyes, looking eager to try.
