After the plan was finalized, all parties acted quickly. Lin Jianyue decided to go to Xiangyang first to meet the big merchants in Shuzhong, Jiangnan. Li Shangxin had urged him several times.

The feeling that Xiangyang City brought to Lin Jianyue was very complicated. I don’t know what the court thought, but why did it give up this thousand-year-old ancient city so easily. Not to mention its economic value, it is also irreplaceable in terms of strategic status alone, surrounded by water on three sides.

, on the one hand, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Judging from the size and length of the city wall, Lin Jianyue is probably able to hold even 100,000 troops.

Lin Jianyue had never seen such a wide moat. Warships could actually drive directly from the Han River into the moat. Especially when facing the Hu people defending with cavalry, this was simply a natural barrier and a sense of security.

The city gates were wide open, and there were endless merchants. There were dense ships of all sizes on the moat, with a few warships and not many soldiers. It was probably for the maintenance of public order, and the main one was merchant ships.

Lin Jianyue did not disturb the prosperous and orderly scene in front of him, but stopped far away outside Xicheng Gate and looked at Xiangyang City silently.

The trumpet rang out, and Xichengmen finally became chaotic for a while. The merchants and pedestrians were expelled. From a distance, Li Shangxin led a brigade of soldiers to greet them.

Lin Jianyue sighed, and he really didn't want to mobilize the troops, but he couldn't, so he had to lead the army and slowly face it.

It has been many years since Xiangyang has not experienced wars. All kinds of houses are well preserved, tall and neatly arranged. There is actually a palace in the city. Li Shangxin and Qu Shangqu and others directly turned it into Lin Jianyue's residence. Lin Jianyue was too lazy to care about it.

To this day, we must also show a certain attitude, otherwise our subordinates will be disappointed.

After a brief question about the operation of Xiangyang, Li Shangxin's answer shocked Lin Jianyue. Wang Gui's gift is very important. Lin Jianyue thinks that Xiangyang City alone can support an army of 200,000, which is still the case where many people are waiting and watching.

Lin Jianyue decided to speed up the pace appropriately.

Lin Jianyue really wanted to go out to see the prosperous Xiangyang City, but now he must maintain a certain mystery and distance between him and the people. Moreover, according to the situation understood by the Fufu Department, there are many spies and spies in Xiangyang from all parties, namely the Northern Hu.

Everyone has spies lying here, but they just didn't touch him.

Lin Jianyue led Qu Shangqun, Li Shangxin and Li Jiyong to patrol the city wall. He was surprised to find that there was a city opposite the Han River. When he asked, it turned out to be Fancheng. Where was Qu Shangqun's naval army mainly? Lin Jianyue couldn't help but sigh that it was already here.

It was built into a real military fortress. The improvement of the defense system opened Lin Jianyue's eyes and could not cut off food. The Hu people even attacked with all their strength and could defend him even if they gave him 50,000 people.

There is a house in the east of the city, and several carrier pigeons flew out. Not far away, the spy from the Pacification Department remained silent. This is the stronghold of the Hu people's Eagle Guard. These letters must be the news of Lin Jianyue's arrival. There are instructions on it.

People cannot move for the time being.

"Jings, plus the men I brought back from Luoyang, Xiangyang has nearly 50,000 troops. According to Liu Changshi's request, 40,000 have been changed to infantry. His subordinates have also led the Second Army and have been trained.

After a lot of time, the armor and weapons are complete, and you can attack Huaixi at any time."

Lin Jianyue smiled and said, "The real big battle cannot be fought, but it's good to practice. This power is the most important force after taking Huaixi. Shang Qun, I think Master Li is very rich, Shui

The division needs to continue to expand, and you need to be kings on the Yangtze River. You have followed me for a long time, so you are not afraid to tell you that in the near future, you need to lead the navy down the river and let the heroes from all walks of life see our power!

”

Li Shangxin's eyes flashed, Qu Shangqu was excited, he was speechless, but his meaning was obvious.

As soon as Lin Jianyue arrived in Xiangyang, his eyes were all over his body. The envoy from the Jinghu Road Pacifier Mansion had arrived in Xiangyang to understand the trends. The noble Huaixi Defense Censor Guo Youting sent his son to wait here early, just hoping. Lin Jianyue led a large army to rescue him.

Lin Jianyue had not seen anyone for the time being, so he secretly met his elder brother-in-law Sun Hao.

Sun Hao did not dare to act like a brother-in-law in front of Lin Jianyue, but just respectfully asked about Huaixi's strategic arrangements.

Lin Jianyue talked about Sun Manqing: "My sister should be about to arrive in Xiangyang, she is not here to visit. Now her Butterfly Yi Si is amazing. Her subordinates respectfully call her Commander Feng and travel more than me. They are all mysterious and majestic. In Jianning, people know the reputation of Commander Feng. Go back and tell your father, so he can rest assured that Sister Manqing is not doing any dangerous things, she just deals with the families of nobles and nobles. In fact, more time is spent on me Take care of me by my side.”

Lin Jianyue knew that this was what Masayoshi Son was concerned about.

It was obvious that Sun Hao was relieved, and Lin Jianyue began to talk about the serious matter: "Where is your father's army?"

"A 60,000 army has been gathered in Lu'an, and the cavalry is also there. Going east can attack Hefei, Luzhou, and going south can attack Shucheng. At present, Guo Youting has led more than 40,000 main forces of Wuwei Army and his family to retreat to Shucheng. Look, He still had to run away, and there were only thousands of people guarding the city in Hefei."

Lin Jianyue shook his head and said, "Guo Youting is a general at least. Why is it so incompetent? It's not that he has no soldiers. He doesn't even have the courage to touch it, which makes people speechless."

Sun Hao sneered: "What kind of commander? He used to be the commander of the Huaixi Defense Censor Wuwei Army by relying on nepotism. My father fought the battles. He probably never saw many of the Hu people, and he was always hindering his legs. , I've wanted to deal with him long ago."

"Now Guo Youting has made it clear that he can only accept him. He has to block the world's long mouth. I really need the exit of the Yangtze River. There are not many opportunities for such legitimate opportunities. My plan is like this, your army will immediately clear the east side Luzhou and Hezhou, don’t kill people randomly, and incorporate and expand their strength. Drive Guo Youting and Wuwei Army to the front line of Tongcheng, Huaining, Shuzhou. We will lead Xiangyang Army to land in Huangzhou, march all the way to Huaining and join Guo Youting, and let’s go. Try to practice troops in Tongcheng, and then use this as the dividing line to confront the Hu people, so as to give an explanation to them and to receive materials from Xiangyang."

After Lin Jianyue said this, he laughed again: "It's the first time I've experienced such an easy battle, but you have to tell your father that he will be under the nose of the Jianning court. How could the emperor sleep? Ah, there will be a large army to oppress. But don’t worry, the 100,000 Xiangyang navy is your most reliable backing.”

Sun Hao also laughed, looking very relaxed and comfortable.

Sun Manqing and Gu Xiang looked at the huge palace in front of them, feeling uneasy, so they entered the palace now? Fortunately, there were no eunuchs and palace maids, otherwise they would have been disgusted. Jianning's emperor came to snatch her.

Walking in the open hall, the two women finally couldn't help but talk about the secret words in the boudoir.

"Think about it, what do you and him do on weekdays? I think he is like a cow, and he is not afraid of destroying the fields!"

Even though Gu Xiang was once a murderer in the world, there was no one around him, he became squeamish and his face was about to drip out of water.

"It's okay... He likes my breasts very much, and he has many tricks. He doesn't let the lights turn off... I won't say it anymore, it's too shameful."

Sun Manqing said anxiously: "Then you should know how to make your breasts bigger, you see, you're so big!"

"I'm not sure about this. Maybe he can just touch it more?"
