After a while, Sun Quan's laughter finally stopped. He looked at the three important ministers in front of him and said:"Everyone, now the three counties of Jingnan have raised troops to respond, and the Wuxi barbarians are also heading towards Changsha. Now It's time for us to raise troops."

Sun Quan was very knowledgeable. He understood the current situation and that the Jiangdong army on his side was the key to victory or defeat.

If Jiangdong cannot capture Chaisang, the army of the three counties and the barbarians of Wuxi will be in chaos.

Now Sun Quan's mind has changed. At first, he just wanted to take back Chaisang, but now he wants to swallow up the four counties of Jingnan in one go.

Sun Quan had a huge appetite, but he was not afraid of being stuffed to death, he was only afraid of starving to death.

Zhou Yu immediately said:"My lord, please let me be the commander of this battle!"

Sun Quan smiled slightly and said:"Don't be anxious, Gong Jin, you must be the commander of this battle!""

"Thank you, lord!"Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and showed resentful eyes. After enduring it for nearly a year, he could finally avenge his shame.

Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao again and said with a smile:"Zibu Gong, if we succeed this time, this achievement will be great. It's on your head! Zhang

Zhao smiled slightly, with a very proud look on his face, and said,"My lord, it's just a joke. It's nothing more than a trivial plan. The most important thing is Gong Jin's." Lu

Su said seriously:"There is news from Jiangxia that Liu Jue's army has gone to Changsha, but its strength is only 15,000.""

"Fifteen thousand!"

Whether it was Sun Quan, Zhou Yu or Zhang Zhao, they all frowned when they heard this number.

"Liu Jue was too trusting. Now Lu Xun has nearly 100,000 troops!"Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with doubts.

Zhang Zhao thought for a moment, then smiled and said:"It seems that there must be heavy troops stationed at Chai Sang, and Liu Jue is guarding against us. Sun

Quan's smile faded a little and he said,"In this case, we won't be able to achieve the unexpected effect." Zhang

Zhao shook his head and said:"Our Jiangdong army is advancing by land and water. Chai Sang will definitely defeat us in one battle!" Zhou

Yu also stood up and said:"My lord, no matter how many troops Chai Sang has now, I will fight to the death to capture it!" Sun

Quan nodded and said:"This battle is of great importance. I promise you 30,000 troops and horses, and all the generals in Jiangdong can be dispatched at your will!""

From this sentence, we can see how much Sun Quan trusts Zhou Yu.

"Thank you, lord!"

Zhou Yu only felt a weight on his shoulders. Thirty thousand troops were already a lot for Jiangdong. If this battle could not succeed, it would be a huge blow to Jiangdong.

"In this battle, I will definitely defeat Chaisang and capture Jiangxia! Zhou Yu said in a deep voice, extremely firm.

……

Nanyang, Wancheng.

A year ago, this place belonged to Cao Cao and was guarded by Cao Ren with an army.

But now, this place nominally belongs to Jingzhou and is guarded by Liu Bei.

More than half a year ago, after Liu Bei came to Wancheng, he first defeated Zhang Liao and Yu Jin at Bowangpo and temporarily gained a firm foothold.

In the following months, Liu Bei and Cao Jun fought several times. Although there were victories and defeats, Wancheng was finally defended.

Liu Bei was thankful more than once. Fortunately, Cao Cao was dealing with the Yuan brothers and Wuhuan at the moment and had no time to deal with him. Otherwise, with his current strength, it would be impossible to defend.

Although it is estimated that there are only tens of thousands of civilians left in the entire Nanyang County, Liu Bei also cherishes this territory very much.

Now on the Yexian side, Zhang Liao and Yu Jin had completely given up after several attacks without results, and stationed their army in Yexian to guard the south of Xuchang.

But at this moment, news came from Jingzhou that Wuxi barbarians were insurrection in Jingnan, and Wuling, Lingling, and Guiyang counties also rebelled. Jingzhou became panicked overnight.

When Liu Bei heard the news, he instinctively thought about what he could get from it.

This is the instinct of a hero. In Liu Bei's eyes, only when Jingzhou is in chaos can he seize chestnuts from the fire and take Jingzhou as his own.

Although Nanyang County is very large, its population is too small, and Liu Jue has taken them all away.

Now that the four counties in Jingnan are in turmoil, how can Liu Bei not pay attention? Even when no one is around, he can't help but smile.

However, after several ups and downs, Liu Bei had already learned to be indifferent to his emotions and anger. Although he said he was very happy in his heart, there was no expression on his face and he remained as usual.

Now that Xu Shu is gone, Liu Bei can still analyze the situation. Once Liu Biao cannot suppress the unrest in Jingnan, he will have the opportunity to go south to capture Jingzhou.

So what Liu Bei needs to do now is to prepare his troops in Wancheng while waiting for the results.

On the other side, Liu Jue did not choose the land route, but chose to go up the river and entered Dongting Lake. He temporarily landed and stationed near Luoxian County and sent people to inquire about the situation in Linxiang.

What made Liu Jue slightly relieved was that the 50,000 barbarians were still in southern Hunan and had not launched an attack on Linxiang. Han Xuan also sent a letter asking him to come to Hunan to resist the barbarians.

It's not that Liu Jue is worried about Han Xuan, but he is worried about the people of Linxiang, because once the barbarians break through the city, the people of Linxiang will definitely suffer.

Liu Jue didn't delay too much and immediately led his army to raise the camp. It took him two days to finally reach Linxiang.

At this time, at the top of Linxiang City, the banner of Han was still flying. When Han Xuan heard that Liu Jue was coming, he immediately led people out of the city to greet him.

"Liu Jiangxia, you are finally here. The barbarians are in southern Hunan. I have been having trouble sleeping and eating these past few days. Now I can finally sleep peacefully."Han Xuan is about forty years old, with narrow eyes and a goatee.

"Governor Han, don't worry. Now that I'm here, even if fifty thousand barbarian soldiers come again, he will be wiped out. Liu Jue said with a slight smile.

"I wonder how many soldiers and horses Liu Jiangxia brought here?"Han Xuan laughed and asked

"Soldiers are more valuable than finesse.���I only brought fifteen thousand soldiers. Liu Jue replied

"Fifteen thousand!"

When Han Xuan heard this number, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he said with worry on his face:"What should we do? I only have 13,000 soldiers and horses in Linxiang City. How can an army of 30,000 resist the barbarians? What's more, there are three other counties watching eagerly."

This look of joy was caught by Liu Jue. He couldn't help but feel strange in his heart, but he still said:"Prefect Han, don't worry too much, they are just a group of barbarians. Who knows how to attack the city? We only need to hold on to the city. When the barbarians are unable to attack for a long time and their morale is low, they can be sent out with the army to defeat them."

"Liu Jiangxia is absolutely right!"Han Xuan's face changed slightly, but he soon smiled in annoyance and said:"I'm rude. I was just talking and forgot that you all came from afar. Liu Jiangxia, please come to the city to rest."

"Easy to say, easy to say!"Liu Jue cupped his fists and smiled, then led the army and followed Han Xuan into the city.

Along the way, Han Xuan saw Liu Jue's soldiers, one hundred people in a small square group, marching in an orderly manner. He raised his head and chest.

Han Xuan couldn't help but feel horrified in his heart.

"Liu Jue's soldiers were so capable, no wonder he was able to defeat Zhou Yu and capture Cao Ren."Han Xuan felt worried for a while, and there was a bit of worry between his eyebrows.

And all this was seen by Liu Jue. Although his face was calm, he was already wary in his heart.
