Chapter 856 North-South Mobilization

Nanyang County had already received Liu Ye's military order, and the Guanzhong reinforcements went south to reinforce Nanyang, which once expanded Nanyang's military strength to as many as 60,000.

"General Zhang, the general promised that after taking Jingzhou, the general will be the governor of Jingzhou. It seems that General Zhang must try his best this time." Fazheng smiled at Zhang Jia.

"Jingzhou Governor? Could it be that the general is planning to go south in a big way this time, not only to defeat Cai Mao, but also to uproot the Sun family from Jiangdong in Jingnan?"

He opened his jaw slightly thoughtfully.

"Haha, our Xiliang army now has 300,000 troops, and we are proud of the world! With the courage of the general, it is no problem if we can raise troops to wipe out the seven counties of Jingxiang in one fell swoop." Fazheng was eager to try. He used to guard Nanyang, but now Wouldn't it be a good opportunity for Zhang Zha to go out of town alone to contribute to the Fa-rectification?

"Zhang Zhennan, the general ordered you to use the banner of the general. Don't forget it." The messenger on the side reminded.

"I know, General, please rest assured."

This time, Liu Ye didn't go to battle in person, but Zhang Zha used his banner. Zhang Zha didn't know why. Maybe he used the banner of a general to intimidate the enemy more, right?

"General Zhang, when can we go to war?"

Gan Ning rushed in from the outside excitedly: "These little brats under the general's command have been training for so long, and they have long been depressed. I hope to fight against the Jingzhou army!"

Fazheng smiled and said: "Haha, brother Xingba, it's not that the navy soldiers can't bear it, I'm afraid it's you who can't bear it, right?"

"Hehe, Mr. Fa is really a sharp eye. I, Lao Gan, really can't hide in front of you." Gan Ning smiled and touched the back of his head.

Gan Ning was actually very keen on fame. He was originally from Bajun. Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou at that time, was very greedy for Sichuan and Sichuan, so he deliberately caused Gan Ning and three others to cause chaos in Bajun, hoping to take the opportunity to invade Bajun.

However, Zhao Shi, the governor of Bajun, was able to suppress them effectively, so Gan Ning and others failed. Naturally, Gan Ning could not stay in Bajun any longer, so he was kicked out, and he went to serve under Huang Zu of Jiangxia.

Huang Zu thought highly of himself and looked down upon Gan Ning, who was a water thief, and made things difficult for him in every possible way. However, Gan Ning still worked under Huang Zu for a long time, which shows Gan Ning's desire for fame.

Now that rewards and punishments are clearly defined in the Xiliang army, Gan Ning is naturally more eager for fame.

"Xingba, don't worry. The Yellow River Navy led by Governor Gao Chong is heading south. Although our navy is capable, it is still too small compared to the Jingzhou Navy." Zhang Jia said to him.

"The general is too stable. My five thousand naval forces are enough to serve as his thirty thousand army!" Gan Ning muttered.

"Be patient and don't be impatient."

Wuling County.

"Governor Liu, the general's military order!"

Liu Pan hurriedly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "General Liu Pan, please listen to the general's military orders."

"General General's order! The traitor Cai Mao has established Jingzhou Mu without authorization, which is really treason. Liu Pan, the governor of Wuling County, sends troops to attack him and assist our imperial army to defeat Cai Mao." The envoy ordered.

"Here!"

Liu Pan took the military order and clenched his fists.

He was Liu Biao's nephew, Liu Biao's nephew, but Liu Pan led the army in the war, so Liu Pan had great affection for this uncle.

After hearing that Liu Biao was killed by Cai Mao, Liu Pan was naturally furious. He even wanted to send troops to avenge his uncle, but was dissuaded by his veteran general Huang Zhong.

"Sun Quan now occupies the three counties of Jingnan. If I send troops to attack Cai Mao, and Sun Quan attacks my retreat, won't I be homeless? Besides, Wuling is small and weak, so I am afraid that it may not be the opponent of Cai Mao."

Huang Zhong was a fierce general in Jingnan, but because he was a commoner, Liu Biao did not appoint him. Liu Pan admired Huang Zhong's extraordinary martial arts and perfect shooting skills, so he appointed him as a school captain.

The last time Liu Pan went to Linxiang City, Huang Zhong happened to be supervising the transportation of grain and grass. Otherwise, with his bravery, Taishi Ci might not be able to defeat him.

"Brother Han Sheng, the general is going to attack Cai Mao. Here is my chance for revenge!"

Liu Pan held the military order and shouted to Huang Zhong excitedly.

Although Huang Zhong was over fifty years old, his body was still vigorous and tall. He nodded calmly: "The general is famous far and wide, and Cai Mao has done many evil things. It seems that Jingzhou can be pacified. The general personally marched south, and his prestige shocked the whole country. Sun Quan's son Even if you have the intention, you don’t dare to attack Wuling easily, otherwise the Sun family will be wiped out by the way.”

In Changsha City, the envoy from Luoyang also came to Linxiang City.

"The Governor of Jingnan, Sun Quan, the general of Zhennan, accepts the order!"

"Your Majesty Sun Quan accepts the order!"

A young man with green eyes and purple beard, a straight nose and a shape that did not look like an ordinary Han man knelt down on the ground. He was none other than Sun Quan, the current ruler of Jingnan.

"The rebel Cai Mao supported the governor of the state without authorization. The emperor was furious and sent a general to lead the expedition in person. General Sun also asked for troops to help him." The envoy said loudly.

"Here!"

After Sun Quan received the imperial edict and sent the envoy away, his brows were filled with sadness.

"Brother Gongjin, what do you think Liu Yuqing wants when he arrives this time?" Sun Quan frowned.

Zhou Yu pondered for a while and then said slowly: "The Xiliang army can't move, it moves like thunder! The previous time, more than ten counties in Bashu were pacified in one fell swoop. This time, the Xiliang army has been in repair for half a year, and it is coming with a fierce momentum. I'm afraid it's not just trying to kill Jing. It’s so simple.”

Although Cai Mao supported Liu Cong as the governor of Jingzhou, among the seven counties in Jingxiang, Wuling County was in the hands of Liu Pan, the remaining three counties in Jingnan were in the hands of Sun Quan, Jiangxia County was in the hands of Cao Cao, and Nanyang County was under Liu Ye's command. It's just a mere Nanjun!

Although Nanjun is the most prosperous county in Jingzhou, Xiangyang and Jiangling are both in Nanjun, but Liu Cong, the Jingzhou herdsman, has a somewhat unfair reputation.

Liu Ye mobilized the land and water armies and ordered the Yellow River Navy to come all the way to join Gan Ning's navy. Such a grand gesture would be a bit of a fuss if it was just to obtain a Nanjun.

"Although our army has obtained the three counties of Jingnan, these nobles only care about their own interests and may not work hard for our army. What can we do for now?" Sun Quan's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He was far from that. Sun Zhongmou, the hero of Jiangdong, was "young and young, and the war in the southeast was still ongoing".

"For the current plan, we can only train the navy with all our strength. We will march on the Yangtze River and watch the battle between Liu Ye and Jingzhou. When the strength of the two armies is reduced, our army will dispatch the navy to fight with the Xiliang navy with all its strength!"

Zhou Yu looked firm and clenched his fists and said: "This victory! If we sweep all the way and swallow up the seven counties of Jingxiang, our army may not be able to compete with Liu Yuqing, Cao Mengde and others; if we lose, I will fight to the death and fight for our lord until the last moment." "

Seeing Zhou Yu's determination, Sun Quan also nodded: "Okay, Gong Jin, you and I will encourage each other!"

The two palms were firmly held together.
