After discussing everything, Gu Yong left with satisfaction.
Liu Zhang personally sent him to the door and exchanged greetings with him again and again, which gave Gu Yong a big reassurance.
After the soldiers confirmed that Gu Yong had left by boat, Liu Zhang immediately summoned all Qin civil and military personnel still in Jiangling.
The commander-in-chief of the Eastern Army, the Imperial Guard, the generals, and the military advisors all gathered together.
Perhaps sensing the unusual atmosphere, no one from Huang Zhong, Commander Dian Wei, Pang Tong, Lu Su, Liu Ye and other military advisors to the ordinary generals and lieutenants said a word.
They all waited quietly for Liu Zhang's instructions.
"Everyone, have you had enough rest in the past few months?"
As soon as these words came out, there was an excitement in the room.
"Informing the King of Qin, the Eastern Army is ready and ready for conquest at any time!"
"Notice to the King of Qin that the Imperial Guards are in strict formation and ready to listen to the King of Qin's orders at any time!"
Huang Zhong and Dian Wei were the first to express their attitude, and everyone else nodded in agreement.
The corners of Liu Zhang's mouth turned up slightly, extremely satisfied.
Then he asked,
"Where is Xu Huang now?"
Pang Tong took an overview of the dispatch and immediately stood up.
"Reporting to the King of Qin, according to the order, Xu Huang is currently stationed in Linxiang."
After Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang and others were killed, Liu Zhang led a large army back.
Only Xu Huang was left to lead thousands of people to wipe out Jingnan.
After Liu Bei's death, all the counties in Jingnan surrendered one after another, and they were all recovered without using a single sword or shot.
Xu Huang was just going through the motions.
Due to the next plan for Jiangdong, Xu Huang also stationed troops in Linxiang early, preparing to go directly from Changsha to Yuzhang.
"Shi Yuan, order Xu Huang to march into Yuzhang immediately."
Pang Tong still didn't know what happened to Gu Yonglai, so he looked confused.
"King Qin, didn't you say you'd have to wait a month? Could it be that Sun Quan refuses to hand it over?"
"Although a sneak attack is a good method, a sneak attack with 10,000 people may not be effective."
Liu Zhang opened his mouth to explain.
"No, Gu Yong has already arrived and promised to hand over Yuzhang and Luling counties to Gu."
"Soldiers are valuable and quick! Don't give Sun Quan time to regret, accept it immediately!"
Pang Tong understood instantly.
"As you command!"
"It's just that ten thousand people can't achieve anything, why not send more people?"
Liu Zhang nodded and looked aside.
"Dian Wei and Gao Shun, you two will lead 40,000 imperial guardsmen to cross the river by boat to Yuzhang."
"Remember, work with Xu Huang to completely capture Yuzhang and Luling, and drive away everyone Sun Quan left behind!"
Dian Wei and Gao Shun came out to take orders.
"I honor the name of King Qin!"
"Shiyuan, what's going on in Jiaozhou? Is there any news from Xu Shu?"
Pang Tong was about to say this and spoke quickly.
"Reporting to the King of Qin, when Shi Xie of Jiaozhou heard that Liu Bei was killed, his liver and gallbladder were split, and he took the initiative to surrender."
"Currently, Cangwu County, Yulin County, Jiaozhi County, Jiuzhen County, and Rinan County in Jiaozhou are all under the control of our army!"
"He's quite sensible!"
Liu Zhang had already expected this result.
After all, Shi Xie did not confront Sun Quan in history, and chose to surrender openly.
Facing a behemoth like Qin, surrender is also an inevitable result.
"How many soldiers and horses are there in Jiaozhou?"
"Reporting to the King of Qin, the Shi family has thirty thousand soldiers and horses, which are commanded by the Shi family's warriors. Now, the soldiers and warriors are obeying orders under Xu Shu's tent."
"good!"
These 30,000 Jiaozhou Army came at the perfect time!
It just met Liu Zhang's plan for a surprise attack.
"Shi Yuan, inform Xu Shu to immediately mobilize all the troops and horses that can be mobilized in Jiaozhou to march eastward!"
"First capture Hepu County and Nanhai County. Then in one go, we raid Kuaiji County and pierce Sun Quan's heart!"
Pang Tong's eyes lit up.
The counterattack against Yangzhou from Jiaozhou was indeed a surprise!
In the future, Sun Quan's focus will be entirely on the Yangtze River. How could he possibly take care of Kuaiji County in the hinterland of Jiangdong?
If everything goes well, you can win the battle!
"The King of Qin is wise!"
Liu Zhang waved his hand.
"Send the order, all soldiers and horses of the Eastern Army will gather in Wulin! In addition, all the grain, grass and baggage will be dispatched to Jiangxia as backup for the army!"
"Except for the soldiers and horses left behind, all armies will follow and march eastward! As soon as we have completely grasped Yuzhang and Luling, we will mobilize all our troops!"
The generals were so excited that they all accepted the order.
"As you command!"
Many people had a premonition that this was about to be an unprecedented battle.
It will also be an important step for Liu Zhang to clear up the troubled times and reunite the world.
Perhaps, it is also the beginning of going further!
That day, the whole Jingzhou was in a state of excitement.
Nearly 200,000 troops gathered on the riverside, and countless grain, grass and baggage were constantly being transported.
The party that moved the fastest was Dian Wei, the imperial guard commanded by Gao Shun.
Other armies were still gathering, and they had already crossed the river by boat.
Xu Huang was faster. Only half an hour after receiving the news, he led an army of 10,000 people and headed straight for Yuzhang.
At the same time, Yangzhou, Danyang County.
"Mr. Wu, I'm so happy, Liu Zhang agreed!"
"I congratulate Duke Wu. In the near future, the four states of the Central Plains will be brought under his control. Proclaiming the emperor and establishing a country is just around the corner!"
Gu Yong bowed to the ground.
It seemed like he was congratulating Sun Quan, but he was actually showing everyone the rise of their Gu family.
If Sun Quan becomes emperor, Gu Yong will naturally be the first to do so!
Then the Gu family can make further progress!
From now on, under the Sun family is the Gu family.
However, contrary to Gu Yong's expectation, Sun Quan only gave him a mild encouragement.
"Oh, thank you Yuantan for your hard work."
Gu Yong was full of doubts and raised his body directly.
"What happened to Duke Wu? Could it be that the war in Huainan is not going well?"
"Please rest assured, Duke Wu, as long as Liu Zhang launches an offensive against Cao Wei, the danger in Huainan will be resolved! Moreover, we can also launch a counterattack!"
"Counterattack? Hahaha, Mr. Gu is really good at planning!"
Zhu Ran on the side sneered again and again, his mouth full of sarcasm.
Gu Yong frowned.
"Why, General Zhu has a different opinion?"
"Opinion?"
Zhu Ran snorted coldly.
"Master Gu, is your surname Sun or Liu? Are you under Duke Wu or under King Qin?"
"Nonsense, of course I am under Duke Wu!"
"Well, then I would like to ask you what you promised Liu Zhang!"
This sentence confused Gu Yongwen.
"Promise what? What do you mean?"
"Isn't it just to mortgage Yuzhang and Luling counties to him?"
"Oh, right!"
Gu Yong slapped his forehead, quickly stood up and took out Liu Zhang's letter of guarantee from his arms.
"Wu Gong, please take a look. This is the written evidence established by Liu Zhang, promising to return Yuzhang and Luling counties after destroying Cao!"
After speaking, he looked at Zhu Ran provocatively.
"I know what you mean. It's nothing more than calling me, Gu Yong, a traitor to my country."
"Did you see it? This is what I, Gu Yong, am capable of! I can exchange two counties for an alliance with Qin, and I can get it back after victory!"
"It's not like someone who only wets his pants and has diarrhea, which is a huge embarrassment!"
Zhu Ran was immediately furious and walked over to Gu Yong.
"you wanna die!"
