The four counties of Jingnan were Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling!
In history, Liu Bei had followed Zhuge Liang's plan and only managed to take down the four counties of Jingnan!
The four prefectures north of the Yangtze River and the millions of people of Jing and Xiang were all occupied by Cao Cao. Jiangxia also fell into the hands of Dongwu!
Therefore, Liu Bei, who only occupied the four counties of Jingnan, only had a population of around a million!
However, Jingzhou was located on a vital road and was a battleground. If they really wanted to send troops, they had to rely on Jingzhou. Otherwise, it would be difficult to unify the Central Plains if they only relied on Yizhou!
It was also because of this that even though the Cao, Sun, and Liu families had divided up Jingzhou, the one who occupied the majority was still Cao Cao!
The population of the four counties in Jingnan was not large, but their combined territory was comparable to the northern provinces!
Therefore, when Kou Feng heard Liu Bowen's words, although he had a plan in his heart, he still said to Liu Bowen!
"Since you have a plan, why don't you tell me in detail how you plan to deal with it?”
After Kou Feng spoke, Liu Bowen bowed to him, then stood up and looked at the generals.
"My lord, generals, Cao Cao has completely pacified the north. Recently, Xuchang's troops have been mobilized non-stop.”
"Cao Cao currently occupies the seven prefectures of Qing You, Ji, Yan, Yu, and Xu. He has tens of millions of people and more than a million soldiers!”
"Although Western Liang's Mateng and the northern border still need soldiers, Cao Cao can actually mobilize no less than four to five hundred thousand soldiers!”
"Once these 500,000 people head south, Liu Biao will definitely not be a match for Cao Cao's elite army. Thus, we have to make plans as soon as possible!”
"Although Jiangxia is the most populated county in Jiangnan, we only have 50,000 soldiers now. It's definitely not enough, so we have to expand south!”
"The four counties in the south have a total of a million people, and there are at least 50,000 soldiers who can fight. When my lord has pacified the four counties in Jingnan, with 100,000 people and the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, we will have the strength to fight!”
After Liu Bowen said this, the generals could not help but nod!
Gan Ning was the first to speak.
"In that case, if we directly attack the four counties of Jingnan, Liu Biao will also send an army south to attack us!”
"In this way, won't we be attacked from both sides and won't have the opportunity to grow stronger?”
Liu Bowen laughed heartily.
"General Gan Ning is right, but Liu Biao's Jingzhou army is weak. If we start a war against the four counties, Liu Biao will only have two hundred thousand men at his disposal!”
"Moreover, he still has to guard against Cao Cao, so Liu Biao can only mobilize 100,000 men at most. Moreover, Liu Biao will have to cross the Yangtze River to go south, so he'll have to rely on General Gan Ning's navy!”
"If we stabilize the four counties of South Jing, our military strength will increase greatly. If Liu Biao comes to attack, we will focus on gathering the surrendered soldiers to strengthen ourselves!”
"Thus, we must take action against the four counties of Jingnan before Cao Cao goes south and Liu Biao dies!”
At this point, Liu Bowen bowed to Kou Feng from afar!
"My lord, it's better to be early than late. Otherwise, once Liu Biao dies and Cao Cao's army goes south, our army will only have Jiangxia and will not be able to resist!”
After hearing Liu Bowen's words, Kou Feng made his decision!
That's right, he was different from Liu Bei. At that time, it was inevitable for him to join forces with Jiang Dong because he did not have any soldiers!
However, he had an army of 50,000 soldiers, and all his generals and advisors were present. Naturally, he had to fight. Moreover, now was the time to strengthen himself at all costs!
It was also at this moment that the system in his mind finally issued an option!
[Ding-dong. The host is facing a choice. The options are as follows: ”
[Option 1: Don't attack the 4 counties of Jingnan. When Cao Cao goes south to fight against the 4 counties of Jiangdong, take the opportunity to go south and make enemies with Cao Cao and Sun Quan. Then, we will be defeated!]
[Option 2: Don't attack the four counties of Jingnan. Wait until Liu Biao dies and join forces with Jiangdong. Use fire to destroy Cao Cao's army of one million soldiers and gain Jiangdong's favor. Ordinary navy x5000!]
[Option 3: Attack the four counties of Jingnan immediately and lure Liu Biao to attack. Fight on two fronts and strengthen yourself before Cao Cao goes south. Obtain 3,000 soldiers!]
After seeing the three options, Kou Feng thought to himself," Indeed!"
The first option was still as ridiculous as before, and it even led to direct defeat and death. Therefore, Kou Feng eliminated it immediately!
As for the second and third options, compared to the 100,000-strong army, the 3,000 black-armored soldiers would naturally choose the third option!
Hence, Kou Feng immediately chose the third option and stood up.
"If that's the case, pass on my orders. Gan Ning will lead twenty thousand sailors to seal off the Yangtze River.”
"Advisor Jun is leading Niu Gao, the Heaven's Policy Army, and ten thousand auxiliary soldiers to guard West-Hill, ready to support all sides at any time!”
"Yang Zaixing, Luo Cheng, Chen Dao, and I will each lead five thousand soldiers to attack Guiyang, Lingling, Changsha, and Wuling counties!”
After Kou Feng gave the order, all the generals obeyed. However, they still had to consider who would attack which county!
After all, although Yang Zaixing and the other two generals were good at martial arts, their personalities were different!
Therefore, since he was prepared to attack the four counties of South Jing, he naturally had to take down the four counties of South Jing as quickly as possible!
Then, before Liu Biao and Cao Cao could react, he would use Jing Zhou to fight against Cao Cao's million strong army!
This time, Kou Feng was racing against time!
