From the five thousand navy men obtained from Fengzhou, after Chen Mo swapped some of the mid-to-high-level officers within, he directly integrated them into the Fish Scale Guard. Under the leadership of Nangong Xian, they secretly headed to Linzhou by waterway.
During Chen Mo's previous inspection in Linzhou, he had Cui Shuang lead a thousand men to Qiantang, adding to the troops stationed in Linzhou, the total force reached thirty thousand.
After Chen Mo arranged the affairs of Yu State and left Zuo Lianglun to oversee in Yu State, he led the Personal Guard Battalion to rush towards Jiangdong.
Upon arriving in Linzhou, Chen Mo secretly issued an order for the garrison troops from various military camps in Linzhou to set off to Sanyuan to receive equipment and grain, and to arrive in Qiantang within ten days.
After the military order was issued, messengers sped through various places, and one troop after another began to assemble.
