I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 35 Wield the Master, Capture the Whole Jiangxia

Jiangxia County.

Governance Xiling.

At this time, Cao Jun's flag had been planted up and down in Xiling City.

On the water warships at Xiling Ferry, a banner with the word "Cao" was also put on.

Su Ming ordered, put up a notice of safety for the people, and issued a strict military order, whoever has the army to harass the people will be killed without mercy.

In the government office.

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

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

However, Huang Zu had a total of [-] land and water soldiers under his command, and there were more than [-] in Xiling.The remaining [-] are distributed in various counties.

Now, Huang Zu has been captured, and the main force under his command has also been incorporated.

As long as Jingzhou does not send troops, it is not a big problem to win Jiangxia Thirteen County.

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

Instead, they are organizing and recruiting soldiers and horses to stabilize the situation in Xiling.

In fact, Su Ming is 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 aggressiveness and is a conservative dog.

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

The battle of Guandu is imminent, and Boss Cao does not have enough soldiers to fight.

After taking Xiling County, Cao Hong and Xu Chu had already led two thousand leopard riders to the front line of Guandu.

At this time, the soldiers and horses that Su Ming can use are Qin Qi's five thousand recruits and the soldiers and horses of the original Huangzu who were recruited.

If Liu Biao in Jingzhou sends troops, Su Ming can only stick to Xiling and give up the idea of ​​plotting the whole Jiangxia.

Su Ming has sent people to keep an eye on Jingzhou's movements. If Liu Biao sends troops to attack, Su Ming can only defend.

If Liu Biao did not send troops, then Su Ming would send troops to attack the whole Jiangxia.

These days, what they had to do was to train their soldiers and horses, especially the soldiers under Huang Zu's command who had been recruited, they had to step up their drills to prevent them from turning against each other.

Waited for more than half a month.

The soldiers and horses under his command have almost been drilled, and the five thousand soldiers and horses under Qin Qi's command have become somewhat elite after experiencing the battle of Xiling.

Under the training of the good brothers Su Fei and Gan Ning, the recruited soldiers also have the strength to fight.

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

Since they decided to reuse Su Fei and Gan Ning, they should completely delegate power.Hand over all the surrendered troops to the two commanders.

At this time, Su Ming had a total of more than [-] soldiers and horses, including more than [-] sailors, [-] soldiers, and [-] cavalry.

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

These days, Jingzhou is also mobilizing troops.

However, they didn't come to fetch Jiang Xia.

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

He wanted to wait until the outcome of the Battle of Guandu became clear before deciding whether to attack Jiangxia.

Now, Liu Biao is dispatching troops to Nanjun and Nanyang.

Huang Zhong led [-] land and water troops to garrison Nanyang County, and Wei Yan was his deputy.

The veteran general Li Yan led [-] land and water troops to garrison Nanjun, and Wenpin was his deputy.

The soldiers that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun assigned to Huang Zhong and Li Yan were old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers. The real elites were still in the hands of Cai Mao.

The reason why Liu Biao sent troops in this way was because of the suggestions of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.

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

Maybe, Liu Biao didn't catch anyone in one breath that day, so he passed by.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun thought together, if this is the case, they should simply send out all the foreign aid from son Liu Qi.

At that time, the sky will be high and the emperor will be far away.

In case Liu Biao couldn't get through that day, the two of them would directly support Liu Cong to succeed him.

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

Huang Zhong, Li Yan and the others are straight-hearted, and they are eager to win Jiang Xia and make military exploits.

Therefore, even if they are aware of the fraud, they can only deploy troops according to the plan.

The worst thing is Liu Qi, who is helpless in the face of all this, and has nothing to do.

It has to be said that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's little ingenuity was all used against their own people.

When Su Ming captured Xiling County, he had already dispatched a spy scout to Jingzhou to listen to Jingzhou's actions.

After finding out the movement of the Jingzhou army, Xi Zuo immediately came to report.

"Report!" Xi Zuo, who came back from Jingzhou, returned to Xiling in a busy manner. Along the way, two horses ran to death, and only then did he bring the latest news.

"Report to Prefect Su that Jingzhou transferred Huang Zhong to guard Nanyang County and transferred Li Yan to guard Nanyang County. There is no preparation to send troops to Jiangxia."

After listening to the scout's report, Su Ming showed an overjoyed expression on his face.

"Liu Jingsheng! Liu Jingsheng!"

"You really didn't disappoint me, you're just a dog!" Su Ming patted his thigh and muttered excitedly.

Everything was according to the plan, Liu Biao was as expected, he only wanted to guard his own Jingzhou, and he didn't want to confront Cao Cao head-on.

Even though Jiangxia was originally one of the nine counties of Jingxiang, and even if Jiangxia could be taken by command, Liu Biao still had to wait for the outcome of the Battle of Guandu to become clear before he dared to attack.

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

Now, the east wind is coming!
"Come here, beat the drums and gather the generals." Su Ming immediately issued an order to his soldiers.

Soon, the three-way army drum sounded, and Su Ming summoned his generals to discuss matters.

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

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

After that, there are generals Zhang Hu, Chen Jiu, Chen Sheng, Lu Gong and others.

Seeing that everyone was here, Su Ming immediately asked straight to the point: "Generals, are the soldiers and horses ready for drill?"

As soon as Su Ming finished speaking, the hot-tempered Gan Ning cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I have already prepared the training."

"Is it going to take the whole territory of Jiangxia? It should have been like this a long time ago. These few days, I have been suffocated!"

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

Under Su Ming's command, the two of them have the same rights as Qin Qi.

As a surrendered general, every inch of his meritorious deeds has been achieved, but he has received a lot of reuse that he has never enjoyed under Huang Zu's command.

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

A few days ago, Gan Ning called for battle many times, taking all of Jiangxia.

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

Today, Su Ming gathered the generals by beating the drums, and asked them if their soldiers and horses were ready, Gan Ning thought, this must be taking the whole Jiangxia.

At this time, Gan Ning was like a fierce tiger howling all the time, eager to hunt its prey.

At this moment, apart from Gan Ning, the other generals were also staring at Su Ming with piercing eyes, looking eager to try.
