Jingzhou was successfully captured, Xu Lang's troops were greatly supplemented, and with the surrender of troops from Jingmen and Jingzhou, the total military strength reached more than 100,000.

At this point, it should be said that the first step of King Gui Yunzheng's strategic vision was successfully realized.

However, although the number of troops increased, a series of problems that came with it also gave Xu Lang a bit of a headache.

At this time, it was no longer like when he was with the King of England, where he had the veteran generals Wang Liang, Brother Ma Ruhu, Pei Yunzhao, or the mature and prudent Lu Yida. He really didn't have many available people at hand.

The number of sergeants has tripled, but the quality is mixed. Chang'an has 40,000 soldiers, which are top-notch elite soldiers and strong generals. He does not need to worry about this. Li Wenzhong controls it, which is enough. The Jingmen soldiers are led by Wei Dayong. The military discipline is strict and the combat effectiveness is not weak. The 40,000 to 50,000 Jingzhou soldiers are really weak.

To do this, he must make good use of Wei Dayong and Li Ziliang.

In this regard, Xu Lang is very smart, and Wei Dayong, who has been promoted to deputy general, is not stupid either.

Now that he has taken a stand, he is not a person who favors Qin, Mu, and Chu. He naturally does everything with dedication and spares no effort. He is a talented general. It is really a piece of cake to calm the people and stabilize the morale of the army. And training the Jingzhou surrender troops is a piece of cake. In the above, he showed both kindness and power, showing his bodhisattva heart and thunderbolt methods. After some unruly soldiers who had just surrendered were beheaded, the atmosphere in the military camp immediately changed.

After all, after eating too much, you still need to digest it well. In this way, Xu Lang settled in Jingzhou and reorganized his weapons. Unexpectedly, more than a month passed.

During this period, Xu Lang's next military deployment gradually became clear.

"The day before yesterday, General Ling Yue of Ganzhou sent a letter saying that he was blocked by Prince Ping in Changsha County. The two armies fought fiercely and were in a stalemate. He wanted to ask me to send troops to Changsha to attack from both front and rear to achieve great success. This was also the first meeting between King Ying and King Fu. The strategy we discussed was only delayed because we stayed here for more than a month. Xu and General Wei inspected each battalion yesterday. Except for the new camp, which was not yet perfect in spear and stabbing skills and was not familiar with the array, all other battalions were The morale is very good, and we are ready for a battle. Therefore, I intend to lead 50,000 troops with General Wei to Yuezhou via the water route, first defeat Yuezhou, and then attack Changsha County. If the journey goes smoothly, I will join forces with General Ling in Changsha. county."

In the Yamen of Jingzhou Prefecture, the generals gathered together, and Xu Lang told him his plan.

At present, Ezhou General Chen Su has been holding back his troops and seems to have no intention of standing up for Yue Laozi. Moreover, from the south of the Yangtze River, there is no cross-border confrontation with him. As for the imperial court, it has too much time to take care of itself. Yiyang City, which borders it, has only tens of thousands of people. Soldiers and horses, once Gui Yunzheng takes Nanyang, it will be in danger. Therefore, the territory of Ezhou is temporarily quiet.

Except for Ezhou, Changsha County is in dire straits. Ling Yue is in a hurry to attack. Wuling County's attitude is unclear and seems to be watching from the sidelines.

"General Xu, 50,000 troops and horses, are you a little short?"

Li Wenzhong was a little worried.

Xu Lang had already negotiated with him before and asked him to stay in Jingzhou to stabilize his retreat and to guard against a sudden attack from Ezhou. Therefore, his burden was not light. However, with 50,000 soldiers and horses, he had to go all the way there. , it seems to be a very difficult task to conquer Yuezhou and fight against Changsha County.

"Haha, General Li, soldiers are more valuable than more. When we go to Changsha, General Wei and I will command mostly sergeants who have been trained by him for many years. They are not weak in field battles, especially in water battles. There are ten thousand men from Chang'an to help us. It’s enough to have water and land ready!”

Xu Lang smiled slightly, looking confident.

"You, please help me, brother, to defend Jingzhou. If there is really a large enemy army pressing down on the border, and if you send people to Xiangyang quickly, please ask General Huairen to come along the waterway for reinforcements. There is no need to worry."
