"If we take action here in Guiyang, the imperial court will definitely send troops to the south!" After pondering for a while, Zhou Xingfeng looked at Li Guanxiang with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Cao Yin of Lizhou is dead. Before the Han court could react,
, you say, should we capture Lizhou first and expel the forces of the Northern Han Dynasty from Hunan first?"
Hearing what he said, Li Guanxiang was slightly shocked. Why did the old matter come up again? Zhou Xingfeng had this idea when he was in Changsha. He did not express his position directly, but just reminded him: "Commander Ji is now the master of Hunan. We will fight against him."
Zhang Wenbiao can be said to be punishing the people for their crimes and punishing them harshly and cruelly. But if he takes the initiative to attack the prefectures and counties of the imperial court, he will completely break his face and be accused of treason. It will also give the imperial court a reason to mobilize troops and stop the world from talking about it!
"
"Haha!" After hearing what he said, Zhou Xingfeng immediately sneered twice and said: "As long as the troops are strong, why are you afraid of what others say? The Han Dynasty wants to destroy Hunan, but is it afraid that there will be no excuse? Instead of sitting back and waiting, why not take the lead and get the advantage?
machine!"
After saying that, Zhou Xingfeng strengthened his determination and said: "Lizhou is a nail that has been driven into our land of Huxiang. I have long wanted to remove it. I concentrated my troops to go north, take advantage of the chaos, capture Liyang, and then go north."
Observe the situation in Jingnan. If the Gao family is unworthy, they will march into Dongting Lake and intercept the Han army at the river."
"Now that I think about it, Emperor Han was actually so treacherous. He was planning to seize Hunan as early as five or six years ago!" Zhou Xingfeng cursed secretly.
Seeing that his mind had been made up, Li Guanxiang sighed to himself, he didn't intend to leave a way out for himself! But he didn't intend to continue to persuade him. In the past few years, except Zhou's wife Yan, no one could persuade Zhou Xingfeng.
"Commander Jie, no matter what, we should capture Zhang Wenbiao first, seize his soldiers, horses, money and food, eliminate hidden dangers in the rear, and then plan to conquer the north!" Li Guanxiang said.
"You're right!" Zhou Xingfeng clenched his fist slightly, his expression becoming more decisive: "Tomorrow, I will go south with the army and personally supervise the battle!"
Looking at Zhou Xingfeng, Li Guanxiang lowered his head slightly, his eyelids drooped a lot, and he was thinking secretly in his heart. Zhou Xingfeng decided to make a desperate move, but he had to make some plans for his future.

In early summer, the city of Xiangyang was already a bit hot. As soldiers and horses from all walks of life were dispatched by the imperial court, it could be said that soldiers gathered together. As of April 2, Xiangyang had gathered more than 26,000 soldiers and horses, and 5,000 soldiers and horses.
The Fengguo army, led by the capital general Du Hanhui, marched south to Yingzhou first, heading straight towards Changlin in Jingnan.
On the pier, bundles of arrows, swords and guns were carried off the ship by shirtless civilians, unloaded into warehouses, transferred to military camps, and distributed to the soldiers. In a busy scene, Guo Wei and several generals patrolled all the way, inspecting all the places.
service.
Nowadays, Guo Wei is just the prefect of Xiangyang Prefecture, but one thing is that even after so many years, his prestige in the army is still not low. It is hard to say that he responds to every call, but the generals of the Forbidden Army will still show respect when they see him.
Greet Mr. Xing.
"While the troops and horses are not moving, food and fodder go first. There is no room for negligence in this matter! According to the government order, the officials involved in the government office must perform their duties to provide for the army. If there is any neglect, it will be a violation of military law and will be dealt with according to military law. Hope everyone
Be alert!" Guo Wei ordered.
The imperial court has come to order, and Guo Wei is appointed as the land and water transport envoy to provide supplies for the armies marching south. After hearing what Guo Wei said, several Xiangyang officials who followed were shocked and hurriedly said yes.
Xiangyang does seem to be a place that raises people, with abundant resources, abundant people, and outstanding people. During his three years in office, Guo Wei is in good spirits. Compared with the official history, Guo Wei has not suffered drastic changes. Guo Wei has been alive for two years and is still in good health.
"After nearly three years of hard work, I finally got the chance!" Commander Han Tong, who was also following along, said with some arrogance.
It had been two and a half years since he was demoted to Xiangyang, and he had been waiting for the opportunity to come back. In the past two years, although his life was comfortable, his heart was filled with depression. Last year, when the imperial court attacked Shu, he even wrote a letter to accuse him.
Zi Han Hui: Didn’t it say that the imperial court was going to send troops to Jinghu? Why did they reach Hanzhong?
But now the facts have proved that his son "Tutuo'er" is indeed a knowledgeable person. There is a smile on the corner of his mouth. Although it has not been officially announced yet, Murong Yanzhao is the coach of Jinghu this time, and he is the deputy coach. The emperor is still
He values Han Tong.
Moreover, his son Han Hui was also in the Southern Expedition and was recommended by Prime Minister Wei Renpu as the camp's food envoy.
"Your Majesty transferred General Han to the south with great intentions. Now, he has fulfilled his wish! This southern expedition will definitely achieve great achievements!" Guo Wei said with a smile. Regarding Han Tong, he is still interested in Han Tong.
The ones I admire more may have flaws in their character, but they are always safe and sound in their management and leadership.
"Thanks to Mr. Xing for your kind words, Han thanked you in advance!" Han Tong laughed.
Looking south, eager to try, Han Tong said: "The imperial court's tens of thousands of troops went south and swept across Jingzhou Lake. I am only afraid of heights. The resistance of the two armies of Zhou Dynasty was too weak, and our soldiers made few achievements!"
"Generals should not underestimate the enemy!" Guo Wei said: "Although Gao Baorong is mediocre, Zhou Xingfeng is ruthless. If we enter Hunan, there will be a battle! If we want to capture Jinghu quickly, we have to wait and see the reaction from Jiangling.
.”
"Soldiers are very quick! I only hope Murong Dushuai can arrive in Xiangyang as soon as possible!" Han Tong became more serious and Shen Rong said.
"Cao Bin, it's time for Murong Dushuai to arrive, right?" Guo Wei turned around and asked a young general with a serious face following him.
As a rising star in the Guo clan, Cao Bin was highly regarded by Guo Wei. Unlike Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde and others who developed in the Forbidden Army, Cao Bin was born in a local area and was not very old. He had already moved to various towns to hold military positions.
He has performed well in every term. When he was appointed as the military commander in Xuzhou, the prefect Wu Xingde praised him for his honest nature, strict military management, and the talent of a general.
Although Guo Wei was in Xiangyang, he was always paying attention to the movements in the court. When he learned that the emperor wanted to send troops to the south, he knew that it was an opportunity to use force, so he made some activities and transferred Cao Bin from Xuzhou to Xiangyang in order to make contributions to him.
Opportunity.
At this time, when asked, Cao Bin calmly responded: "The commander-in-chief set out south two days ago. It is estimated that his journey will be during this day!"
"Tell me about it! How will we use our troops this time to level Jing Lake?" He nodded slightly and became more interested. Guo Wei wanted to take the exam for Cao Bin.
Cao Bin thought for a moment and said: "The situation in Jinghu is extremely urgent. However, judging from the news from Jiangling, although Gao was alert, he was slow to respond and still had a two-pronged attitude. Now, the imperial court has not issued a marching edict, so as to
Jiangling is wavering, and our army has arrived, but I am afraid that it is still hesitant. We should send a strong force to go south first, attack Jiangling directly, and force it to surrender. Perhaps we can take Jingnan without a fight. Now that Jingnan has been conquered, with the power of Hunan, it will not be a waste.
If you struggle, you can harvest everything in three or two months!"
Hearing his opinion, Guo Wei smiled. Han Tong couldn't help but cast a surprised look at Cao Bin and said with a smile to Guo Wei: "Mr.
, what a talented general sincere!"
"You're still too young!" Guo Wei stroked his beard and said with a smile, looking at Han Tong: "If you have any achievements, you still need noble people to use them!"
Hearing what Guo Wei said, Han Tong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and said: "Don't worry! There is no reason to use such a talent. If you are so handsome, I will definitely recommend him!"
After giving Cao Bin a wink, Cao Bin's calm face wavered and he saluted Han Tong: "Thank you, general, for the promotion!"
At the end of the day, there was an emergency military report from the south, and Xiangyang was developed.
Zhou Xingfeng from Hunan sent troops from Leiyang, rushed into Guiyang, launched a surprise attack, and stormed the city. The Chu army spared no casualties. In less than an hour, Guiyang was defeated. Jingjiang Army Jiedushi Zhang Wenbiao fought with his teeth and soldiers, Yingshuai Mansion resisted
, was beheaded by his subordinates as an offering to the Chu army. Zhou Xingfeng was able to seize all his wealth and troops, and his army was greatly strengthened. He led his troops back north, but his intention was unknown.
"You see, Xingfeng's struggle this week is quite fierce! Take Guizhou first to eliminate worries, and move very quickly! How can the Chu army's fighting ability be so strong after breaking the city in an hour?" received Han Tong's report.
, Guo Wei felt a little emotional.
Han Tong couldn't help but secretly scolded: "I see, that document is too useless! He also has thousands of troops under his command, but it is so unbearable!"
"However, since the war in Hunan has begun, the imperial court no longer has to have any scruples!"
