At the critical moment when Liu Biao was seriously ill, Guo Peng ordered the former general of the Guard Li Dian and Cao Chun, the right general of the Guard, each led 10,000 troops to the Chenliu camp and accepted the command of General Le Jin of the South.

The staff officer Guo Jia supervised the army with integrity, and on behalf of Guo Peng, he also awarded Le Jin the talisman the entire army and the army-deployal talisman.

Therefore, the number of troops owned by Chenliu Camp and the two counties of Yingchuan County of Runan County reached a scale of 50,000.

Including the army brought by Li Dian and Cao Chun, the army led by Guo Lie, the commander of the Ruin Army of Runan County, and the army led by Li Gan, the commander of the Yingchuan County garrison army, and the army led by Le Jin himself, a total of 50,000 people.

The 50,000 troops will be commanded by Le Jin and under the supervision of Guo Jia, march towards Jingzhou as the main force to capture Jingzhou.

At the same time, Zhu Ling, commander of the Shangyong County Governor's Army, led his troops to attack Xiangyang, and Xu Huang, commander of the Lujiang County Governor's Army, was also mobilized by Guo Jia, and would cooperate with Le's corps to attack Jiangxia.

The entire strategic plan has been completed and the tactics have been formulated. Now we are mobilizing the auxiliary soldiers and civilians of Yingchuan, Runan and Chenliu to transport materials and prepare for the army's logistics.

According to the calculations of the accounting team brought by Guo Jia, about 80% of the logistics preparation can be completed in late April, reaching the level of logistics supply for the army to go to war.

The staff team brought by Guo Jia and the generals commanded by Le Jin designed tactics on the combat sand table to deduce the results of the war to find the fastest and most perfect solution, and informed Zhu Ling and Xu Huang in advance to cooperate to achieve the greatest extent of tactical cooperation.

The Wei army's southern army was preparing for the route of south attack, but at this moment, Jingzhou was not ready for war at all.

The army was approaching, and Zhang Yun, the governor of Nanyang County, who faced Lejin's main army, could not see any nervousness at all, so that even his subordinates could not bear to see it.

Faced with the 50,000 Wei army's army's obscurity, Zhang Yun seemed to care about this matter at all, as if he did not exist.

He did not go south to report to Liu Biao to know and request reinforcements.

2. No large-scale arsenal was opened to equip the army.

3. The people did not mobilize their power to provide logistics for the army.

Fourth, the city defense was not reinforced in case of emergency needs.

Five did not take the initiative to send people to spy on the military situation of the Wei army.

Sixth did not personally visit the military camp to convene the generals to discuss tactics and plan the retreat route.

Zhang Yun did nothing that the Nanyang County Magistrate and the General were going to do. The only thing he did was drink, listen to music, and watch the dancer dance as usual.

Then when I was in high spirits, I hugged the exposed dancer and had a good time. After being tired, I fell asleep and lived a life of drunkenness and dreams.

As the governor of Nanyang County, Nanyang County's economy did not increase, population did not increase, military equipment did not increase, nothing changed, just like he had never been governor of Nanyang County.

In this era, are you still trying to govern by doing nothing?

If you insist on saying that there has been some increase, it is really his weight and age.

The subordinates were all confused about this, and only a few of their confidants knew why Zhang Yun did this and why he was so drunk and dreamed of death.

What else can I say? They have already found their next company to change jobs, so of course they don’t care about this matter at all. They even blocked the news and did not allow their subordinates to send the news that the Wei army was approaching the border to Jiangling. They just sent their confidants to Xiangyang to send the news to Cai Mao to know and ask Cai Mao to prepare.

In fact, there is no need for Zhang Yun to send messages. Cai Mao had learned from the secret channels that Zhu Ling was about to carry out, and was ready to surrender and sacrifice the city.

They are all old Deep Shui Wolves. As soon as Guo Peng's spy spoke, they knew what they should do and what they should not do.

Cai Mao is different from Zhang Yun. He obtained a lot of food and military funds from Liu Biao in the name of war preparations. He did not embezzle or strengthen the army, but stored them all, intending to present them to Guo Peng together as his own gift to buy a future for himself.

I believe Guo Peng will be very happy.

Of course, Cai Mao’s main experience now is not in this aspect, but in Jiangling.

Before Liu Biao was seriously ill, he decided to join forces with Liu Zhang to fight against Guo Peng.

He ordered Huang Zu to return to Jiangxia to prepare for war, ready to support Jiangling at any time, and forced Cai Mao to return to Xiangyang to prepare for war, and threatened to send his confidants to Xiangyang to check Cai Mao's preparation results.

As a result, before he could do this, he became seriously ill. The kind who couldn't afford to get sick was getting weaker and weaker in his bed.

Liu Biao seemed to realize that his deadline was approaching. Although he didn't know the reason, he thought he was really going to live in a few days.

I have been living a few days ago, but I don’t know if Guo Peng has made any progress. When will he go south to attack Jingzhou, I don’t say that now, even if Guo Peng comes now, I can’t force myself to command the battle. If I don’t come for a while, I will really be buried.

Now Liu Biao feels that it is more likely that Guo Peng would be buried before he goes south, so it is imminent to establish his heir status.

And Liu Biao has also confirmed the candidate.

The eldest son Liu Qi.

Liu Biao's two sons, the eldest son Liu Qi and the second son Liu Cong, were not born by Cai, the current family member.

He and Cai had no children, and both of them were born with their ex-wife. After his ex-wife died, he came to Jingzhou and married Cai to a stable situation, but did not have children.

Because he also knew that if he had a child with Cai, the Cai family would definitely be supported as the lord of Jingzhou after his death. At that time, Cai family would not be Lu Zhi, and the Cai family would force her to be Lu Zhi. Where can their children be independent?

As a descendant of the Emperor Gaozu, who didn’t know about the Lü Rebellion?

That is not in my interest in Jingzhou.

So Liu Biao also tried his best to not have children with Cai, but he was helpless. As a representative who was much weaker than Guo, where did he get freedom?

He himself has no freedom, and no one of his successors can be free.

Liu Qi won’t talk about it anymore, he is a master of the people, but because he looks like Liu Biao, he is quite popular with Liu Biao.

Liu Cong was a little clever. Seeing that Liu Biao and Cai had no son, they actually turned to Cai, and tried to please and flatter each other, and finally formed a deep "mother-son relationship" with Cai.

The Cai family probably knew that Liu Biao would not let the Cai have children easily, especially the son, so they simply let Liu Cong and the Cai family form a mother-son friendship. Anyway, no matter who it is, as long as it can represent the interests of the Cai family more.

For this reason, the Cai family even married Cai's niece to Liu Cong to further stabilize the alliance relationship.

At this point, Liu Biao had no choice but to start paying attention to Liu Qi again and take Liu Qi with him as a show, so that everyone knows that he chose Liu Qi instead of Liu Cong.

But his struggle was powerless and weak, and could not change anything.

It was not until after he became ill that he decided to give it a try, and then introduced Sun Hao, Sun Fu and Gan Ning from Jiangxia that the situation improved slightly.

Before he was seriously ill and bedridden, he called Sun Hao and Sun Fu, Gan Ning and his fellow villager Yi Ji to his side, and took Liu Qi and entrusted Liu Qi to these four people.

Liu Biao told them to protect Liu Qi and told them that Liu Qi was his favorite successor. If he had any shortcomings, he must support Liu Qi ascend to the throne.

Sun Hao and Sun Fu and Guo Wei regimes have deep feuds.

Gan Ning is from Yizhou, not from Jingzhou.

Yiji is his fellow countryman and has always been his confidant, and he is not as close as the people of Jingzhou.
