Jian'an five years, mid-February.

First, the rebellion of Zhao Fan and Liu Du in Jingnan was destroyed by the local Anbu and the people, and then the rebellion of the Jingzhou families was also suppressed by Xu Shu.

Unaware of the situation, Wen Chou finally died in the battle because of his rash advance. Except for a few escaped, almost all of the eight thousand cavalry were killed in battle, which can be called a great defeat.

With the failure of the multi-channel rebellion, it also means that Yuan Shao's plan to break into Chu Feng's interior from the western front has come to an end. This move will undoubtedly cast Yuan Jun into a haze.

----

At this moment, inside the Xiangyang General's Mansion.

Wenpin's armor was stained with blood, striding forward, Cai Mao also returned after a while, followed by Yiji, the three were the operators of this plan.

Looking at Xu Shu, who was at the top, Wen Pin clasped his fists and said, "General Qi, all rebel families in the city have been suppressed and killed, and Wen Chou's subordinates have also been wiped out."

"Very good!" Xu Shu nodded.

"General Qi, the wealth of the rebel family in the city has been counted. Except for some that cannot be found out in a short time, the rest are all here. Among them, the grain and grass exceed a million stones, the money is billions, and there are tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land."

Yiji was a little excited. These are all resources. It has to be said that these aristocratic families are really rich.

"Confiscate everything!" Xu Shu nodded.

With this batch of money, he can follow Chu Feng's request to build roads and bridges, dig canals, and increase the income of the people.

"General Qi, except for [-] cavalry who fled outside the city, all the rest were killed. A total of [-] horses were seized, and countless weapons and equipment were captured!"

Cai Mao also clasped his fists and said.

"Very good. In the North-South War, war horses were the most important thing. If my lord knows that General Cai has captured so many war horses, I will definitely reward General Cai!"

Xu Shu nodded excitedly. The Cai family had indeed contributed a lot in this battle. Whether they acted as internal agents to defeat the aristocratic family in the city, or connected with Wen Chou, they did a good job.

Cai Mao happily withdrew.

"General, why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue? Wen Chou only led [-] cavalry to kill them. It stands to reason that there should be tens of thousands of infantry. Why not let the last general lead his troops to intercept and kill these infantry!"

Wenpin clasped his fists, eager to try his hand.

"No, Xuchang Cao Cao has not yet left, and the north of Nanyang is Cao Jun. It would not be wise to make enemies with Cao Cao at this juncture. What's more, if Yuan Jun has escaped, the remaining infantry will definitely withdraw."

Xu Shu waved his hand, he didn't want to make troubles at this juncture.

After all, what he needs to do is to guard Jingzhou, develop Jingzhou's economy and people's livelihood, stability means victory, and it depends on Xu Yang's side.

"But General, is that the case?"

"Okay, so many families have been massacred this time, Jingzhou's interior is unstable, you should pay attention to the interior, and don't be greedy for merit. Now that Jingzhou is safe, you can lead your troops to Yecheng to garrison!"

Xu Shu waved his hand, it is impossible to fight!

"No!" Wenpin nodded, feeling a little helpless, the acquisition of military merit for stationing on the frontier was too slow, unless someone from the opposite side came to attack, he would just wait.

"Cai Mao, feed these iron cavalry for a few days, and then arrange for someone to send [-] cavalry to Hefei, leaving [-] cavalry to be incorporated into Zhao Fan's army, adding another cavalry."

Xu Shu pondered for a while, and immediately made arrangements.

To the north of Xiangyang is Nanyang, and Nanyang is located in the basin and plain, so some cavalry are still needed.

"No!" Cai Mao Zheng nodded.

"The spring plowing continues. The tenant farmers from various families must not be disbanded. Let people continue to farm. While maintaining production, we must strictly abide by the economic development strategy set by the lord."

Xu Shu looked at the arrangement and said.

"No!" Everyone nodded in unison.

"Okay, let's go down and get ready." Xu Shu waved his hand.

Seeing a few people leave, Xu Shu heaved a sigh of relief. He finally didn't mess up the mission. Now that the western front has won an all-round victory, he doesn't know if the central and eastern regions can win.

Thinking about the master's military ability, Yuan Shao should not be an opponent, right?

As for Jingzhou City, the smell of blood lasted for several days, and it was completely gone after being washed away by a spring rain, while the people in the city were only cheering,
Because countless rebels were suppressed and killed, and there were many families who oppressed them all the year round.

Compared to the common people, the other aristocratic families were all in jeopardy. Chu Feng's brutality was unexpected. This massacre was tantamount to earth-shaking for the entire Jingzhou.

Many established families have been completely reduced to history.

This also makes those aristocratic families with small thoughts dare not mess around, for fear of getting burned.

----

Yuzhou, within the territory of Peiguo.

Southwest of Longkang, Yuan Jun marched mightily.

In the Chinese army, Chunyu Qiong was riding a war horse, proud of the spring breeze, looking at the barren land around him, instead of showing any pity, he became even more excited.

"General, we will arrive at Shouchun in less than two hundred miles. Why don't you let the army set up camp and wait for your lord's instructions?" The general looked at the barren land and asked tentatively.

"Isn't there still two hundred miles left? What's the rush? Set up camp on the north bank of the Huaihe River and block Chu Feng in Huainan for me. I want to see what he can do!"

Chunyu Qiong snorted coldly, with a bit of disdain.

"General, Chu Feng is in Hefei. It is said that this person is extremely brave. If he leads the army to fight at that time, wouldn't we be in a trap?"

The lieutenant swallowed his saliva and spoke weakly.

"I'm afraid of a fart. It's just a group of rats touting it. If I meet him, I can kill him with a single shot. It's not worth mentioning at all!"

"What's more, my lord asked me to keep an eye on Shouchun. Wouldn't it be a joke if I set up camp at a distance of more than 200 miles?" Chun Yuqiong snorted coldly: "Give me the general order, and the whole army will speed up!"

The lieutenant wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

Immediately, the messenger beat the horse and raised the flag and shouted, and the whole army accelerated forward.

----

Shouchun, the original capital.

Afterwards, the city wall was reinforced and built as a frontier fortress of the Chu army.

At this moment, countless soldiers and horses have gathered in the city in recent days, and a few of them have 20,000 to [-] people, among which [-] people are Chu Feng's central army.

Ten thousand recruits, ten thousand veterans.

In this battle, Chu Feng tried to lead the recruits through some flames of war.

And in the general mansion,

Chu Feng looked at the map with solemn eyes.

He was waiting, waiting for Chunyu Qiong's arrival, he didn't want to lead his troops to hunt for hundreds of miles, as the saying goes, waiting for work with ease, at this moment Chu Feng was waiting for Chunyu Qiong's arrival.

At the same time, Chu Feng was also waiting for Jingzhou's battle report.

He knew that Jingzhou was destined to respond to Yuan Shao, but he didn't know if Xu Shu could respond.

"My lord, Chunyu Qiong's soldiers and horses crossed the Wohe River the day before yesterday. It is estimated that they are approaching us at this moment. According to the speed of travel, they should be able to reach the north of the Huaihe River in five days."

Wei Yan stepped forward and stated.

Chu Feng nodded and remained silent.

"My lord, General Huang and General Zhao are all training and recruiting new soldiers. Why don't you let the last general lead his troops to fight, and decide that the lord will cut off Chunyu Qiong's dog's head."

Wei Yan was a little excited and asked to fight.

This time, he had a great chance, because Chu Feng left Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun in Hefei when he went north, and he only brought himself here, obviously because he wanted to train himself.

"Don't worry!" Chu Feng raised his hand.

Jia Xu stroked his beard and couldn't help chuckling: "My lord is waiting for news from Jingzhou?"

Chu Feng glanced at Jia Xu, and couldn't help chuckling: "That's right, although I have laid out a perfect plan in Jingzhou, I'm still worried, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid."

Chu Feng didn't finish speaking, but the implication was obvious.

If Yuan Shao goes south, even if Xuzhou wins, he will only take Xuzhou. It is almost impossible to take Yangzhou, but if he takes Jingzhou first, it will be over if he goes down the river.

"Your Majesty, worry too much. With General Zhao and Xu Shu around, Jingzhou is as solid as gold." Jia Xu smiled lightly, reassuring Chu Feng, and said at the same time:

"My lord, although Chunyu Qiong is a brave man, he is General Yuan Shao after all. If he arrives in Shouchun, he will probably make strict arrangements. It is better to surprise him."

After Jia Xu finished speaking, she looked at Chu Feng.

"Surprise?" Chu Feng replied, "It's not impossible, but our army has limited cavalry. Even if I lead the army myself, I may not be able to defeat Chunyu Qiong."

The central army now has [-] iron cavalry. Although the charging ability is strong, it is still not easy to break through nearly ten times the enemy army.

What's more, even if the formation is broken, it is impossible to wipe them out, it can only be regarded as breaking them up.

"My lord, Chunyu Qiong's army has a total of 30,000 people. There are [-] troops in the front and back, and [-] troops in the middle. My lord can just attack the rear army and break the enemy's spirit first."

"Based on what I know about Chunyu Qiong, this person is arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't pay attention to his opponent at all. Even if the lord breaks his army, he must be even crazier and lose his footing."

Jia Xu stroked his beard, his words were full of viciousness.

"So you want me to take the lead in destroying the enemy's rear, so as to shock the enemy's courage, and then wait for him to arrive and kill him head-on?" Chu Feng looked at Jia Xu and asked.

"That's right!" Jia Xu nodded.

Chu Feng pondered for a while. Chunyu Qiong was indeed as arrogant as Jia Xu said. In the Battle of Wuchao, he learned that Cao Cao led his troops to kill him.

If he leaned on the stronghold to defend, Cao Cao would not be burned to the ground. You must know that Yuan Shao's reinforcements arrived at the end, but it was just a little bit late.

In the end, as the general of the army, he died in battle, so that Wuchao was defeated, which left Yuan Shao without food and grass, and was defeated by Cao Cao.

At this moment, the messenger ran wildly.

After asking for instructions, he rushed into the mansion and shouted: "My lord, Jingzhou has won a great victory. General Xu led Wenpin, Zhao Fan, Cai Mao and other generals not only killed Wen Chou, but also captured [-] horses."

After the messenger finished speaking, he handed over the letter.

"Oh, Wen Chou was killed?" Chu Feng was startled, unexpectedly,
He thought it would be very difficult to defeat the enemy in this battle, but he didn't expect to kill Yuan Shao's general Wen Chou, and captured so many horses.

As he spoke, he took the letter,

Eyes swept quickly, everyone expected.

"Okay, okay, all should be rewarded!" Chu Feng said excitedly while holding the letter.

"My lord, tell me!" Jia Xu was also curious. Wen Chou could be killed. If it got out, it would definitely hit Yuan Jun's morale ahead of time.

"Jingnan rebelled first, but was crushed by the people. Countless people spontaneously called for their sons. In the end, Zhao Fan was killed and Liu Du fled overnight."

Speaking of this, Chu Feng felt very relieved.

Although he expected Zhao Fan to have evil intentions, he didn't kill him, and he didn't expect to be sentenced.But this time, although Anbu has contributed, it is still the common people.

If it weren't for them, the situation in Jingzhou would definitely deteriorate.

After all, if the two counties respond, Changsha, Wuling and other places may not be left behind. Even if Zhao Fan and the others can fight again, they may not be able to suppress all parties.

Jia Xu sighed, and commented: "My lord, my subordinates said earlier that the people's hearts are available. I didn't expect these people to spontaneously ask their children to stop rebelling."

Wei Yan also nodded: "The people of Jingzhou are simple and honest, the lord is so kind, countless people respect the lord, and they will definitely not let their children rebel."

"Later, Xu Shu and others used their tricks to punish the aristocratic families in the city first, and then set up an ambush to kill Wen Chou. It is said that the food from which aristocratic families were found exceeded a million stones!"

Chu Feng smiled lightly. Millions of stones of food and grass are extremely precious in troubled times.

"Since Jingzhou has won a great victory, then we can't hold back."

"Send an order to gather all the iron cavalry and immediately follow me to cross the river and repair in the forest in the northern part of the Huaihe River. When tomorrow dawns, follow me through the enemy's rear and destroy the enemy's rear."

Chu Feng regained his spirit immediately and said with high spirits.

"Promise!" All the generals agreed.

"My lord, at the end of this battle, I request you to accompany me!" Wei Yan looked at Chu Feng expectantly, he really wanted to prove himself with military exploits.

"Yes!" Chu Feng raised his hand, "Wen He, after I leave, you will be in charge of all affairs in the city, and you will also send someone to contact Lu Meng at all times."

"No!" Jia Xu nodded in response.

After explaining this, Chu Feng immediately went straight to the barracks.

The Central Army, he is directly related to the legion, and many of his soldiers are recruits and cannot be used. This battle is related to the structure of the Central Plains, so he must fight it down.

After Chu Feng came to the barracks, the group of soldiers went crazy, and that aura of not fearing death was definitely beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers and horses, and it also infected those recruits a lot.

Arriving at Dianjiangtai, Chu Feng looked around the audience.

Countless soldiers began to gather, and they gathered neatly. Even those recruits had solemn eyes, looking at Chu Feng as if looking at their gods.

Most of the recruits are from Jingzhou,
When their parents asked them to come, they almost all said the same thing, take care of yourself, and at the same time they said, don't embarrass them, don't be a deserter, otherwise they will not recognize this son.

The Central Army is a symbol of honor.

"Soldiers, I have good news and bad news for you!"

"The good news is that Wen Chou, the general under Yuan Shao's command, died in the battle in Jingzhou, and Jingzhou is impenetrable. Many parents here asked me to tell you, don't embarrass them."

"This sentence is very good. Remember, not only can you not embarrass your parents, you can't embarrass me, this military uniform, or the Central Army."

"Since you are wearing this military uniform, you represent the Central Army and represent the strongest soldiers under my command, Chu Feng. In my opinion, each of you is a soldier king."

Chu Feng paced and looked at everyone, especially those recruits. These recruits are all very good in physical fitness, and their key will is enough. Given time, they will definitely become elites.

These soldiers all looked at Chu Feng solemnly, the spontaneous sense of responsibility and pride made every pore of them open.

"As for the bad news, Yuan Jun is here. In this battle, someone is destined to sacrifice and bleed, are you afraid?" Chu Feng roared and asked everyone.

"Fight, fight, fight!"

"Okay, bloody. Remember, in troubled times, if you want to exchange for the peace and stability of your family, you must pay a price, and you must be doomed to bleed and sacrifice."

"When we finish the war, our wives and children can live in the spring breeze and behave in an upright manner."

"There is a saying that is good, since there are no martyrs, let us become martyrs, the pride of the Han nation's rejuvenation, and the unshakable cornerstone."

"Maybe I can't let everyone's name go down in history, but your deeds will be passed down forever in history, and your descendants will also be proud and proud of you!"

Chu Feng looked at those people, and every sentence was sonorous and powerful.

Similarly, every sentence makes these people grit their teeth, and they are definitely not people who are afraid of death.
