"Move to Jingnan?" Huang Zu muttered to himself after hearing Lu Gong's second opinion.

Huang Zu was thinking about whether he should switch to another battle, but before he could figure it out, Zhang Shuo, who was following him, was unwilling.

"Lv Gong, what do you mean? Are you asking us to give up Jiangxia, which we have been running for so long?"

"Do you know how much effort my lord and we have put into running Jiangxia? You just want us to give up with just one sentence?" Zhang Shuo was very reluctant.

"General Zhang, if we don't give up on Jiangxia, our army will be in danger. I dare to ask if things are really as Kuai Liang said. Cai Mao repulsed the Han army, and then the commander's army came to attack. How should we deal with it?"

"There is also the Sun family in Jiangdong. They have been eyeing me in Jiangxia. We are under Liu Biao's command. They may still look out for their allies and not attack."

"Once we choose the eldest son and leave Liu Biao, Sun Quan will definitely not let Jiang Xia go."

"When the time comes, enemies will come from both sides. How will our army resist them?"

"On the other hand, we took a step back and left Jiangxia and went to Jingnan. With the lord's prestige, it was easy to capture the four counties of Jingnan."

"Our Jiangxia navy can block the river and prevent the Han army from crossing the river. Only in this way can we advance and retreat." Lu Gong said slowly.

"How can we advance and retreat?" Huang Zu looked at Lu Gong. He was curious about what Lu Gong meant when he said he could advance and retreat.

"Back to my lord, our army has moved to Jingnan and blocked the river with warships. We can capture Jingnan."

"The Han army has no navy, so it is not easy to cross the river. Moreover, as long as Xiangyang has not been captured, it is impossible for the Han army to cross the river."

"Once the Han army captures Xiangyang, we can support the eldest son as the shepherd of Jingzhou in the four counties of Jingnan and summon the defeated Jingzhou army."

"The main thing is the navy in Xiangyang. With these people, we can use the young master's name to continuously harass Xiangyang and other places to see if we can cross the river and regain Jingbei."

"Even if we can't recapture it, we have naval forces, and at the very least we can confront them across the river and wait for the opportunity."

"If we want to retreat, we can also rely on the four Jingnan counties in our hands and the navy to negotiate conditions with the court."

"If you want to put forward conditions, no matter what the young master or the lord wants, you can negotiate with the emperor. I think the emperor will definitely consider it carefully for the sake of the four counties in Jingnan."

"In this way, both the lord and the young master will get a lot of benefits." Mr. Lu said sincerely.

After Huang Zu heard what Lu Gong said, he just lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and he made a decision in his heart.

The current situation is just like Lu Gong said. If you continue to guard Jiangxia, although you can defend your home base, you will face attacks from two sides.

This will be the case no matter who wins or loses in Xiangyang. Once an enemy attacks Xiangyang, Jiangdong will not sit idly by.

Huang Zu didn't know who would have the last laugh between Jiangdong and Xiangyang. He only knew that by that time, he would definitely be dead.

It is unrealistic to surrender to the imperial court now. Surrendering to the imperial court at this time, not to mention territory and military power, is unknown whether one can save one's life.

Even if he could save his life, Huang Zu was unwilling to give up his power.

When he went to Jingnan, although he gave up Jiangxia, which he had managed for a long time, the whole game was still alive. No matter what choice he made, he would not lose.

Therefore, Huang Zu already had a plan in his mind as to how to choose.

What, you said that in Nanshan outside the city, Zhang Xuanji’s army would not let Huang Zu escape so easily? That’s a big mistake.

Jiangxia is surrounded by water on three sides and land on one side. At this time, Nanshan and the others only surrounded the city wall on the west side of Jiangxia.

The three city walls in the north, east and south were all waterways, and Nanshan and the others had no way of blocking them. Therefore, if Huang Zu wanted to run away, Nanshan and the others really couldn't stop him.

"Okay, I have made up my mind. I have ordered the entire army to pack up and let's go to Jingnan!" Huang Zu finally made the decision.

"Here!" When the generals heard that Huang Zu had made a decision, they did not refute.

They are not stupid either. After listening to Lu Gong's words, he also knew when he asked, "When you go to Jingnan, hello to me, hello to everyone."

Just in Jiangxia, it is a dead end. Everyone has a choice in their minds.

As Huang Zu decided to follow Kuai Liang's advice and move to Jingnan, the entire Jiangxia army became busy.

First, Huang Zu sent an envoy to contact Kuai Liang and Huang She and asked them to meet him at the riverside.

After all, if you want to run through Jingnan and occupy Jingnan, you still need a big flag.

In addition to Huang Zu himself, Liu Qi is also necessary for this big flag.

With Liu Qi here, it can be proved that Huang Zu went to Jingnan not for himself, but to win Jingnan for Liu Qi.

With Liu Qi's banner and Huang Zu's own prestige in Jingzhou, it can be said that winning Jingnan is a sure thing.

Another point that needs to be explained is that Liu Qi himself has a very high reputation in Jingnan.

Otherwise, when Liu Qi wanted to find a place to settle down in the first place, why did he choose the four counties of Jingnan?

It can be said that Liu Qi's reputation in Jingnan is equivalent to Liu Biao's reputation in Jingzhou as a whole.

The officials and people in the four counties in Jingnan generally recognized Liu Qi. Therefore, when Liu Qi went to Jingnan, although he could not let the four counties in Jingnan surrender, there would definitely not be a large-scale battle.

At most, it would be to give up some benefits, but that's fine. As long as the benefits are negotiated, all the forces in Jingnan can be quickly integrated to resist the pressure from Jingbei.

As for the second item, Huang Zu needs to consider how to escape.

If you want to go to Jingnan, you must build a boat. Jiangxia already has a large number of naval forces.

As mentioned before, Jiangxia, as Jingzhou's bridgehead against Jiangdong, has strong military strength.

In addition to hundreds of thousands of soldiers, there are also 100,000 naval troops in Jingzhou.

Six of these 100,000 naval forces are in Xiangyang, and the remaining four are in Jiangxia.

As mentioned before, Jiangxia has one hundred thousand soldiers, not counting the navy.

Therefore, strictly speaking, even if Huang Zu gave Liu Qi 70,000 troops to support Fancheng, he would still have 30,000 troops left in Jiangxia.

However, if the number of naval forces is included, there are still 70,000 people in Jiangxia at this time, and thousands of large and small warships.

Without such strength, why did Huang Zu resist Jiang Dong, and why did he dare to support Liu Qi so openly, while Cai Mao did not dare to blatantly accuse Huang Zu?

As the top leaders of the Jiangxia Army unified their thinking, the Jiangxia Army below also began to take action.

They wanted to run away and board the ship, so the first thing they did was to repel the Han army outside the city.

Otherwise, the Han army might have entered the city before they even boarded the ship.

So, under the command of a group of generals such as Zhang Shuo and Lu Gong, they launched an attack on Nanshan and others.

On this day, Nanshan and the others had just finished a day's siege battle as usual and were preparing to go down to rest.

In fact, Nanshan and the others are not in a hurry. They know their mission very well, which is to hold Jiang Xia back, otherwise he will send troops to rescue Xiangyang and just see if they can lay siege to the city and bring reinforcements.

Therefore, Nanshan and the others would take a two-hour break every day as a routine.
