And Xiangyang’s magical geographical location can also help.

Xiangfan is located at an important crossroads of water and land transportation. It is the key to connecting east and west and north and south. It cannot be bypassed. Its location is extremely important. Especially since water transportation is very developed, it is a natural distribution center for materials. This is also the reason why the handicraft industry in this place is relatively developed and the craftsmen are skilled.

The main reason for the large number of gatherings.

Therefore, despite frequent wars, many large merchants still come here via waterways to transship trade. As long as you can afford the money, you can buy many things. This makes silver very useful and allows them to make new products.

The soap has its place.

As for security issues and the threat of war, they are not a big problem for the time being.

Although Zuo Liangyu failed to rescue Kaifeng, and he heard that the emperor had sent another order asking Zuo Liangyu to send troops to rescue again, Zhao Jin judged that it was not very likely that Zuo Liangyu would obey the order, unless Zuo Liangyu was really stupid.

Zuo Liangyu recruited another 200,000 people to save his life, not to risk his life.

Moreover, his 200,000 people are just a bunch of mobs. How can they fight now? Zuo Liangyu has fought in wars all his life, so it is impossible not to understand. But it is not ruled out that he will send a few thousand to 10,000 to 20,000 people to test the north.

Do some acting and take care of some errands.

After all, the local government in Huguang finally thoughtfully sent them a lot of replenishment of weapons and equipment. If Zuo Liangyu didn't express his feelings, it would be easy for him to not follow up and replenish the supplies.

Then the imperial court also appointed a new governor named Hou Xun, a person who made Zuo Liangyu a little excited, and Zuo Liangyu seemed to have to give him some face.

Zhao Jin also couldn't figure out why Zuo Liangyu was so excited when he heard Hou Xun's name. He was not there, he just heard about it, and the person who passed the news couldn't explain it. But some time ago, Zuo Liangyu asked his deputy Jin Shengheng to bring 5,000 people there.

The news that Beijing Mobile is preparing to welcome this new supervisor is accurate.

The friendship between Hou Xun and Zuo Liangyu should be very unusual.

But that's probably it. Comparing friendship and fate, it should be easy to draw a conclusion, especially a battle that is impossible to win.

The emperor who is 1,000 kilometers away may not understand the actual situation of the Battle of Zhuxian Town, and he certainly does not understand Zuo Liangyu's current situation. The emperor may even have little knowledge of the war, otherwise he would not issue such an order.

Strange order.

Zuo Liangyu has already lost everything, so what's the point of going there again in a hurry? Is it just to give away someone's head?

Now on the river outside the city, Zuo Liangyu is recruiting a large number of manpower to build ships there, in a completely defensive posture.

Regarding large-scale shipbuilding, Zhao Jin still does not understand Zuo Liangyu's intentions. Logically speaking, if Guang Shoujiang is building ships far beyond actual needs, he will never be able to put all the troops on board.

Go defend!

So what does Zuo Liangyu want to do?

Zuo Liangyu's intentions really need to be carefully considered.
