After Liu Jue officially entered Jiangxia, it can be said that the new official took office three fires, and after discussing with Yi and others, one order after another began to be issued.

Jiangxia now has 25,000 soldiers and horses, including 10,000 naval troops, 15,000 army troops, and a total of 100,000 stone of grain and grass.

The plan formulated by Liu Jue and the others was to defend the three cities of Xiakou, Xiling, and Wuchang.

As long as these three important cities are not lost, the entire Jiangxia will not be out of Liu Jue's control.

Among them, Xiling is located in Jiangbei, which is the rear of Jiangxia, and relies on Cao Cao's territory.

Liu Jue appointed Xiang Lang as the commander of Xiling County, commanding Xiang Chong and Zhang Shuo, plus 3,000 soldiers and horses to guard this place.

Yi led Wei Yan, Huo Jun, and Deng Long to unify 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend Xiakou.

Liu Jue personally led Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Su Fei, Chen Jie and others, and led 12,000 troops to start deploying in Wuchang.

Su Fei, Deng Long, Chen Zuo, and Zhang Shuo are all Huang Zu's old subordinates.

Su Fei's ability is good, he can barely be a general, Deng Long's ability is slightly inferior, and Chen and Zhang Shuo are very average.

But now is the time to employ people, as long as these people are honest, Liu Jue will not do anything to them.

Liu Jue sent spies to Jiangdong to inquire about the news, and at the same time stepped up the training of his soldiers and horses to guard against a possible attack in Jiangdong.

Huang Zu did not repair combat equipment in recent years, which led to excessive military law, and the quality of these soldiers left behind is worrying.

Fortunately, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Huo Jun are all professional soldiers, not wild people like Gan Ning, who know how to train the army.

It's just that if Jiangdong really plans to commit it, I'm afraid it will only be a matter of one or two months, and time is quite tight for Liu Jue.

Even if the training of soldiers is stepped up at this time, it is just a matter of sharpening the gun in battle, and it is estimated that it will not have much effect.

Just when Liu Jue stepped up his defense, Jiangdong also took action.

Gangdong, Kure-gun.

The news of Huang Zu's sudden death had already reached Sun Quan's ears.

After Sun Quan heard it, he said hatefully: "Huang Zu's old husband has a grudge against me for killing my father, and it is really difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart if he dies like this." "

Huang Gai on the side said: "Huang Zu has just died not long ago, Jiang Xia must be unstable. The new Jiangxia guards Liu Jue, but he is just a stinky boy who has not dried up, how can he keep the land of Jiangxia? It is better to take this opportunity to take Jiangxia, and he can further plot the land of Jingzhou. "

The rest, such as Lu Su, Cheng Pu and others, all felt that Huang Gai's words made sense.

To be honest, they didn't take Liu Jue seriously.

What kind of storm can an eighteen-year-old hairy boy set off?

Sun Quan nodded and said, "That's right, this is a good time for me to attack Jiangxia in Jiangdong!" It's just that Huang Zu is dead, and he can't avenge his father, so he is really ashamed to be a son of man!"

Huang Gai said loudly: "The lord doesn't have to blame himself, when he breaks through Jiangxia, he will dig out Huang Zu's corpse and whip the corpse, plus Liu Jue's child's head, it is enough to pay tribute to the spirit of the ancestor in the sky." "

After Sun Quan and his ministers finished discussing, a letter of order was sent to Chaisang, ordering Zhou Yu to be the governor of the capital, lead the land and water army, and go to Jiangxia to conquer Liu Jue.

Zhou Yu had been waiting for this day for a long time, and after receiving Sun Quan's order, he immediately began to formulate a battle plan against Jiangxia.

Zhou Yu first made Lü Meng the vanguard, Dong Xi and Zhu Zhi as deputy generals, and Ling Tong as the Sima of other departments, and began to rectify the grain and grass of the army and horses, and ordered 15,000 soldiers and horses on land and water, preparing to wave his army to conquer Jiangxia.

Chaisang was originally a small city near Poyang Lake.

After Zhou Yu's troops were here, Chaisang City gradually expanded, and in just a few years, it became a large city in Yuzhang County.

Sun Quan crusaded against Huang Zu several times to avenge his father, all from Chaisang.

Every time Zhou Yu conquered Jiangxia, he would capture a large number of people, making the population of Chaisang more than 50,000.

As a bridgehead for attacking Jiangxia, Chaisang undoubtedly has a high status in Jiangdong.

At this moment, in Chaisang City, the war machine has been put into operation, and materials such as grain, grass, wagons, and military tents have begun to be assembled and transported.

In the hall of the Taishou Mansion, Zhou Yu sat on the main seat, and on both sides were Lu Meng, Dong Xi, Zhu Zhi, Ling Tong and other generals.

Zhou Yu really deserves the praise of Mei Zhoulang, his face is like a crown of jade, his eyes are bright, as a famous general of Eastern Wu, but his body is full of elegance.

"The spies sent to Jiangxia have sent news that Jiangxia has already made some moves, and it seems that they have been preparing for our attack for a long time. Zhou Yu said to everyone.

Zhu Zhi frowned and said, "In this way, that Liu Jue is at least not a straw bag." "

Lu Meng snorted coldly and said: "So what, it's just a little clever, as long as our army is in Wuchang, see if he Liu Jue can hold it for a few days." "

Zhou Yu said unhappily: "It is a taboo for soldiers to despise the enemy before the army has been allocated, and according to the report of the spies, Liu Jue's soldiers and horses are more than 20,000, and those stationed in Wuchang are only afraid of 10,000." "

Lu Meng disagreed, and said: "Dudu, most of Liu Jue's soldiers and horses are Huang Zu's old troops, we all know how strong they are, how can they be compared with Chaisang's elite?"

Zhu Zhi followed and said: "What General Lu said makes sense, but before the big war, it's better not to underestimate the enemy." "

Lu Meng immediately said: "Governor, please rest assured, the last general will definitely not be careless." "

Zhou Yu showed a look of satisfaction, and then said: "Our attack on Jiangxia this time will only take one month at most, and now the mountains and Yue everywhere are not restless, and this battle must be resolved quickly." "

Hearing the word 'Shanyue', everyone frowned, the Sun family has been in Jiangdong for many years, but they have not been able to extinguish the Shanyue riot.

It's always just calmed down here, and trouble has started to make trouble over there, and Shanyue has become the most difficult problem in Jiangdong.

Moreover, Shanyue lives in the mountains and forests, and if he can't beat it, he will drill into the mountains, and it is very difficult for the Jiangdong army to exterminate it, and it has always been in a passive situation.

Dong Xi frowned and said: "A month's time is really too urgent! Even if Liu Jue is not afraid, he has at least 20,000 soldiers and horses, which is not so easy to deal with." "

At this time, the number of troops that Chai Sang can mobilize is already the limit, and it cannot be compared with Jiangxia in terms of quantity, but Zhou Yu believes that these elite soldiers under his command are far from being comparable to Jiangxia's army.

Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "If the war goes well, you can go down to Jiangxia in one battle! If you can't do it, you can also plunder the population, encroach on Jiangxia's land, hit the morale of Jiangxia's army, and prepare for the next attack." "

Zhou Yu said, showing an extremely confident smile.

This self-confidence is not blind, but has been brought about by successive victories in the past.

Just like his Zhou Yu's fame, it was brought to him by his exploits again and again, Huang Zu was not his opponent before, and now Liu Jue will not be either.

Seeing that the coach was so confident, Lu Meng, Zhu Zhi and others were also in high spirits, and their hearts swelled with monstrous confidence.

In this battle, Jiangxia will inevitably be owned by Jiangdong!
