After Ma Su returned to Jingzhou, although he was praised by Liu Bei, because Mrs. Sun successfully reached Jingzhou, his plan was better than Zhuge Liang, so he still did not attract Liu Bei's attention.

Of course, Ma Su spent all his time on Liu Bei's comfortable life on the boat, and Liu Bei was still very grateful. He took care of him more and gave him a rest for a while.

Because Jiangling County was already Sun Shangxiang's dowry, the debate between Liu Bei and Jiangdong came to an end. Ma Su was like he had no position and had nothing to do without rest. He said that Liu Bei gave him a learning opportunity and began to read various classics!

Liu Bei made major adjustments to the responsibilities of various parts of Jingzhou, and nepotism is inevitable!

What he trusted the most was naturally his two sworn brothers. Guan Yu led the prefect of Jiangxia and controlled the two counties of Changsha and Guiyang; Zhang Fei led the prefect of Jiangling and controlled the two counties of Wuling and Lingling.

Respecting talents is also necessary. Zhuge Liang's performance is obvious to all. As the military advisor General, he supervised Lingling, Guiyang and Changsha counties, responsible for the tax adjustments in the entire Jingzhou and enriched military funds.

Although Zhang Fei was in Jingzhou, he still stationed troops in the public security department, and Jiangling City was still guarded by Zhao Yun. On weekdays, Zhang Fei needed to regularly patrol the three counties.

Because Zhang Fei had a lot of things, thinking about cooperating with Ma Su in the past, he complained to Liu Bei and asked him to transfer Ma Su to his subordinates.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang seemed determined not to let Ma Su assist Zhang Fei. On the grounds that Ma Su had another appointment, they arranged two army Simas, Zhang Da and Fan Qiang, to assist Zhang Fei in commanding the army.

Although Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei away, it was not easy to leave Ma Su idle anymore, so he asked him to inspect Jiangling County as a person engaged in Jingzhou.

Because he had visited Jiangling before, the focus this time was on land mergers, and his main responsibility was actually to teach farmers.

This time, Sun Quan suddenly attacked because Sun Shangxiang turned his elbow out, cooperated with Liu Bei to return to Jingzhou, and made Sun Quan's plan to imprison Liu Bei completely fail!

Although Sun Quan was caught off guard, he didn't take it too seriously!

After all, Liu Bei was an ally, and now he has become his brother-in-law. Liu Bei's strength cannot threaten him for the time being, but he still called Lu Meng over to deal with the aftermath.

When Liu Bei ran away, Lu Meng knew that he had a plan but was unintentional, and Sun Shangxiang was also protected. The generals would definitely not be able to stop him. They had already secretly discussed it in their hearts.

After Sun Quan summoned Lu Meng, he told all the plans and won Sun Quan's recognition. He immediately sent Lu Meng to a small county near Jingzhou to guard the town to facilitate his contact with Mrs. Sun and further deployment in Jiangling.

...

...

When Lu Su returned to Zhou Yu, he said that Liu Bei was the one who agreed to his proposal and was about to leave the city to work.

When Zhou Yu heard that the matter was done, he was happy and smiled at Lu Su:

"The interests are in place, even Kong Ming has been blinded, and he has fallen into my plan this time!"

Zhou Yu needed to mobilize tens of thousands of troops, so he taught Lu Su to return to Jianye to report to Sun Quan, and asked Sun Quan to send Cheng Pu to lead the army to respond.

Zhou Yu's arrow soreness was gradually healing, and he looked nothing wrong on the outside, but his internal organs were already very weak and he could no longer afford to toss!

In order to take Jiangling in one fell swoop, Zhou Yu had the intention of killing first and then reporting. He did not wait for Sun Quan to pass the order, but dispatched troops in Chaisang, and all the elite troops were released!

He used Gan Ning as the vanguard, and since he was with Xu Sheng, Ding Feng as the central army, Ling Tong, and Lu Meng as the rear team, with 50,000 naval and land soldiers, coming to Jingzhou.

The reason why Zhou Yu did not wait for Sun Quan's order was not because he was afraid that Sun Quan would not agree with his plan, because "they would not accept the orders of the king!", nor could he say that Zhou Yu's plan was inappropriate.

Zhou Yu was still afraid that the action would fail, so he made the worst plan! Sun Quan did not know about it for the time being, and the failure was Zhou Yu's personal behavior. It would not affect the Sun-Liu alliance, so he would have room for maneuver.

On the boat, Zhou Yu was not careless and kept deducing the situation and striving to be foolproof.

Zhou Yu thought to himself that even if Kong Ming saw through his plan, as long as Liu Bei did not leave the city to work hard and he did not capture Liu Bei, he would naturally not attack Jiangling rashly and would not leave any handle for Zhuge Liang.

At that time, he would withdraw his troops directly on the grounds that Liu Bei was not supplying enough money and food, and then fight against Liu Bei.

When the front army reached Xiakou, Cao Cao's territory was across the river, but he did not find Liu Bei's army patrolling the river, which surprised Zhou Yu a little and asked Xu Sheng:

"Wen Xiang, do you think someone in Jingzhou is in front of you to respond!"

Before Xu Sheng could answer, suddenly the former army Gan Ning sent someone to report:

"Uncle Liu sent Mi Zhu to see the governor."

Zhou Yu personally met Mi Zhu and asked about the situation of the army.

Mi Zhu was an official in charge of military supplies and supplies for Liu Bei. It was very appropriate to ask him to come to see Zhou Yu. He answered confidently:

"The lords are all ready to make arrangements."

Zhou Yu wanted to capture Liu Bei as a hostage and occupied Jiangling without any blood. Naturally, he was very concerned about Liu Bei's whereabouts, so he asked Mi Zhu:

"Where is the emperor?"

Mi Zhu replied absent-mindedly: "The lord was still equal outside the Jiangling city gate before, and said he would drink and talk to the governor."

Zhou Yu did not make specific requests on the issue of food and grass, but only warned Mi Zhu:

"Now the Jiangdong Army will send troops to expedition for your lord's affairs; do not be easy for the military service to be hard-working, so as not to abdicate our morale and ruin the great affairs of Xichuan!"

Although Mi Zhu was unhappy when he heard Zhou Yu's words, he didn't say anything, but said that he would go back to Jiangling first.

Zhou Yu passed Sanjiangkou and had already entered Liu Bei's territory. He was not afraid of being raided. He rushed to the boat and was more than ten miles away from Jiangling. He saw the river surface quiet.

The front army provocateur reported: "In Jiangling City, two white flags were planted, and no one was seen."

Zhou Yu was shocked and wondered, so he taught him to walk the boat on the shore and personally ride a horse. He brought a group of officers from Ganning, Xu Sheng and Ding Feng, and led three thousand elite troops to look directly at Jiangling City.

When we arrived at the city, the gates were closed and there was no movement on the city.

Zhou Yu held the horse and ordered the sergeant to go forward and call the door. A defender turned out from behind the female wall and asked who it was? The sergeant raised his chest and responded loudly:

"It was the governor of Jiangdong Zhou who was here personally, and asked the guards to come out to talk."

Before the soldiers finished speaking, a clapper suddenly sounded, and hundreds of fully armed soldiers on the city wall raised their guns and knives. Zhao Yun wore his whole body and appeared on the enemy's building and said to Zhou Yu:

"What exactly is the governor doing during this trip?"

Zhou Yu replied with confidence:

"I took Xichuan for your lord, don't you know yet?"

Zhao Yun replied:

"The military advisor knew that the governor was a false plan to destroy Guo, so he left me here to guard Jiangling. The lord didn't want to meet you, so as not to hurt the harmony!"

Although Zhou Yu did not really take Xichuan, he still made it happen. He thought he had no handle in Zhao Yun's hands, so he furiously said:
Chapter completed!
