The people of Jingzhou have their own tacit understanding, which is not something that Liu Biao can decide.

Therefore, for a long time, Liu Biao's government orders could not pass the river. Although he was nominally the governor of Jingzhou, it is hard to say how many people pay attention to him, the governor of Jingzhou.

People in Jingbei didn't pay much attention to him, let alone the four counties in Jingnan. That was the rule in the symbolic sense, and they paid some taxes in the symbolic sense.

Since the chaos in the world, many of the prefects of the four counties have been locals in Jingzhou, including Zhang Xian, who are very famous and have always had a bad relationship with Liu Biao.

Liu Biao was not completely ambitions and wanted to get involved in Jingnan, but Jingbei was not very good at speaking, let alone Jingnan.

Liu Biao and Zhang Xian have been dealing with each other for a year or two. After years of grievances, Zhang Xian is unhappy with Liu Biao, and Liu Biao is not very happy with him.

Originally, Liu Biao did not really violate his interests, but he was defeated in Nanyang. Liu Biao was beaten into a turtle with a head-shrinking turtle. He never dared to look north again, but he had to survive, so he had no choice but to pick a soft persimmon.

Liu Biao began to openly mobilize the army into Jingnan, counting the local household registration, thinking about levying more taxes and getting more food and fodder, which would be bad, and this would cause everyone's interests.

You, Liu Jingsheng, treat us all as soft persimmons?

Zhang Xian's confidant Huan Jie was a native of Changsha and was praised as a filial and honest person for Sun Jian when he was the prefect of Changsha.

After Sun Jian died in battle, he went to meet Liu Biao and asked for the body of the boss Sun Jian. He had a considerable reputation in Changsha County.

He had some insights. He always thought that Liu Biao was unhappy. Not only did he feel sorry for Sun Jian's death, but he also felt that Liu Biao was not someone who could accomplish great things. Liu also showed that he was trying to attack the four counties in Jingnan, so he privately instigated Zhang Xian to cause trouble.

"Now the army of King Wei is in Runan and Yingchuan. Liu Jingsheng hid in Jiangling because of fear and advanced to Jingnan. It is obvious that he wants to occupy Jingnan and use Jingnan as the foundation to fight the King of Wei. If he succeeds, how should Ming Gong do it? I am worried about Ming Gong in private."

Zhang Xian nodded.

"I am also deeply worried about it. Liu Jingsheng did not follow the rules and sent troops to Jingnan. I think it was because Guo Zifeng put too much pressure on him. If this happens, Jingnan will be unable to protect him. What should I do?"

"There are many people in Jingnan who hate Liu Jingsheng. Everyone is not convinced by Liu Jingsheng, and they are even more unwilling to fight against the King of Wei for Liu Jingsheng."

Huan Jie said, "The King of Wei cleared away the heroes in the north and unified the north. His great cause was about to be accomplished and his wings were full. It was a time of confidence. At this time, he was enemies with the King of Wei. Isn't it a way to die?"

"you mean?"

"Why not raise troops to counterattack Liu Jingsheng and seize Jiangling to welcome the King of Wei's army?"

Huan Jie said: "Jingzhou is sooner or later for the King of Wei, and the general trend of the world is clear. Is it still unclear if Duke Ming still knows it? Duke Ming does not consider himself, but also for his family descendants. Should he follow Liu Jingsheng or the King of Wei? Duke Ming must have made a decision."

"this……"

Zhang Xian frowned: "Guo Zifeng's advance to the King of Wei is not in accordance with the convention. She is suspected of being a usurped. She is likely to be criticized and her reputation is detrimental. In this way, wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to surrender to him?"

"Ming Gong is confused."

Huan Jie hurriedly persuaded: "The world is in chaos and the magical artifacts are easier. It is really natural. Now the King of Wei has become an agreement with the people of the world. No one opposes the King of Wei. The King of Wei is full of wings and unstoppable. At this time, he is an enemy of the King of Wei. Wouldn't he behave a chariot with a mantis arm?"

"What you said makes sense."

Zhang Xian was silent for a while and nodded: "Don't think about yourself, but also think about your family. The world's general trend has reached this point, which is not what I want to see, but Liu Jingsheng repeatedly threatened him, which is really too much. If he doesn't deal with it, he would think Zhang is easy to bully!"

So Zhang Xian half-spokenly adopted Huan Jie's opinion and began to plan a rebellion.

His reputation in the four counties of Jingnan was much greater than that of Liu Biao. Most of the four counties of Jingnan followed his orders rather than Liu Biao's orders. So he contacted the people of the four counties of Jingnan, raised 30,000 troops, announced a rebellion, and wanted to resist Liu Biao's rule in Jingzhou.

Then he began the Northern Expedition and began the journey to fight against Liu Biao, with his troops aimed directly at Jiangling.

Jiangling was right by the river, and Zhang Xian's army could go north directly along the water flow and reach the city of Jiangling. So Liu Biao was shocked when he learned the news and immediately mobilized his troops to prepare to quell the rebellion.

He asked Huang Zhong, the general of Zhennan, to take charge and lead 20,000 troops to fight against Zhang Xian.

Huang Zhong led his army southward and followed the water to the Northern Expedition Army that attacked Zhang Xian.

Then Liu Biao asked the General Wen Pin of the Central Army to lead the army south to Wuling County to attack the Wuling barbarians who were attacking the north with Zhang Xian. These Wuling barbarians were very hateful. They started to cause trouble since the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, and have never stopped until now!

Liu Biao was very angry.

Zhang Xian made two northern expeditions, and Liu Biao also made two southern expeditions, and confronted him with tit-for-tat, so the civil war in Jingzhou officially broke out.

Huang Zu originally wanted to support Sun Quan, but the civil war broke out in Jingzhou. Liu Biao told Huang Zu not to continue to implement the plan to support Sun Wu for the time being, and it is more important to mobilize troops to fight Zhang Xian in the south.

When Huang Zu received the news, he was about to set off, but he was delayed and forced to transfer a large number of troops to Jiangling to assist Liu Biao in quelling the rebellion. He could only talk about the support of Sun Quan later.

Liu Biao thought that no matter how useless Sun Quan was, he could last for a year and a half. This year and a half time was enough for him to deal with Zhang Xian, a traitor. After finishing the pack, he would go to help Sun Quan, which was a matter of one word.

So although Huang Zu still has a large number of ships in his hands, his troops are insufficient and he is no longer enough to make progress.

When he learned about the current situation, Lu Fanru suffered a heavy blow from thunder and suddenly collapsed on the ground, his face as if dead.

"Did Mr. Wu be defeated?"

When Huang Zu saw Lu Fan's expression, he was shocked.

"Mr. Wu... was defeated, Governor Zhou... died in battle..."

Lu Fan covered his face and cried: "If there were no reinforcements in Jingzhou, Wu State could not even defend Yuzhang County and Luling County! The collapse of Wu State is right in front of him!"

Lu Fan cried and lost his voice, and Huang Zu was also shocked.

this……

Zhou Yu is dead?

Was Wu defeated?

How long has the war started? It has only been more than a month or two!

Huang Zhong's side had just collided with Zhang Xian, and the main troops of both sides were still gesturing. It was still some time before the decisive battle, but you will decide the outcome?

How did you fight?

Liu Biao also said that Sun Quan could last for a year and a half, that's it a year and a half?!

Huang Zu was completely confused.

"The Wei army bypassed the defense line along the river from somewhere and sneaked into Jiangdong. The governor of Zhou fought with them and died in battle. The main force was wiped out. The rear was lost. The army in front could not continue to fight and had already disintegrated. We have now given up Wu County and Danyang County. If the Wei army continues to fight, Yuzhang County and Luling County will be out of protection."

Lu Fan's face was very anxious: "Mr. Can you advise Liu Jingzhou? Wu really needs reinforcements from Jingzhou! If Wu is not protected, Jiangdong will be in trouble and Jingzhou faces enemies three times. Is this the situation Liu Jingzhou hopes to see?"

"this……"

Huang Zu was a little anxious: "Why is this happening? It's only been less than two months! The Wei army was all divine weapons that came from the sky?"

Lu Fan was speechless.

He also felt that everything was too fast, but it really happened.

In fact, he has not yet figured out how the Wei army crossed the Yangtze River and came to Jiangdong to fight with them in the field.

But this is no longer important, it really doesn't matter, everything is destined.

Now that things have come, they have no other way, so they can only come here to ask for help, but they just happened to encounter civil strife in Jingzhou.

"Will Zhang Xian be bribed by Guo Peng?"

Lu Fan gritted his teeth at Zhang Xian in hatred.

"It's useless to say these things now. He has already rebelled. I have less than three thousand sailors on my hands, but there are quite a few warships, but without soldiers, it's not useful."

Huang Zu said nervously: "You really can't hold on? You can't even defend Yuzhang County?"

"It's very dangerous. Although Yuzhang County is still in our hands, our army's morale has declined and we can no longer resist the enemy. If we continue to fight, we will definitely be defeated. There is no doubt that if we don't come to Jingzhou, this farewell will be a farewell forever. Jingzhou will face the enemy in three ways!"

Lu Fan wiped his eyes and took a deep breath: "Liu and his teeth were cold. Will Liu Jingzhou and the Lord of the Fu be willing to send troops to help? Please inform Mr. Lu now!"

Huang Zu was so anxious that he paced back and forth for a while, gritting his teeth.

"The lips are gone and the teeth are cold, and the lips are gone and the teeth are cold. Without the Wu Kingdom, Jiangxia will definitely suffer! No matter what, the Wu Kingdom cannot be destroyed. I have few soldiers here, but three thousand people can be used for emergency response. You can take three thousand people away first, and I will recruit some soldiers and horses, and then ask Liu Jingzhou for some troops. What do you think?"

Huang Zu asked this.

Lu Fan finally showed joy.

"So great! So good! Mr. Huangfu, if you and I work together to defeat the enemy, it will become a good story!"

"For you, for me!"

Huang Zu shook his head: "Forget it, forgot, I don't want to see Guo Zifeng anyway!"

Huang Zu then ordered his son Huang She to lead three thousand soldiers and warships to support Yuzhang County and assist the Wu army in Yuzhang County in fighting the Wei army's invasion. He stayed in Jiangxia and urgently recruited some soldiers and horses, and sent people to send messages to Liu Biao at night and request reinforcements.
