After Li Qin finished speaking, he immediately dispatched a messenger to send the letter to Zhejiang by fast horse.
At the same time, Li Qin also mobilized his troops in various places.
His troops in the capital had just returned from a major battle with the Tatars and needed some time to rest.
However, the South urgently needs manpower, so he could only squeeze out 30,000 troops from his own troops in the capital and forcibly transfer 20,000 from Qin Chenyao in Shandong.
Another 10,000 troops were taken from Zhang Hengshuo, making a total of 60,000 troops, and they were ordered to immediately march south to support Liu Shengwu and others in Huguang.
At the same time, he ordered Zhang Hengshuo, Qin Chenyao and others from Shandong to lead a large army south, cross the Shandong border, enter the Huai River region, and garrison troops on the Huai River border.
He also made a big fuss about how he had defeated the Tatars and would soon be leading 100,000 elite troops and more than 100,000 Tatar soldiers he had incorporated.
A total of more than 200,000 troops marched south to attack the Huai River region.

Reduce their focus on supporting Hubei and Hunan, and reduce the human and material resources they invest in supporting Hubei and Hunan.
After completing all this, Li Qin also looked at his own plans for the situation in Hubei and Hunan.
They sent reinforcements to Liu Shengwu, Wanyan Gun, and others in Huguang.
Try to win over Jin Huchen from Jiangxi as much as possible, and have him block the reinforcements from Nanjing.
At the same time, Zhang Hengshuo and Qin Chenyao led their troops south to the Huai River region, making it appear as if they were heading south to the south of the Yangtze River, in order to deceive and restrain the forces in the south as much as possible.
This deterred the troops in Jiangnan from making any rash moves.
