Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 179 Unification of Jingzhou! (Additional chapter for Mike_Stone! Thanks brother!)
With Jin Xuan's death, Jin Yi behind him couldn't stop his horse and also fell into the horse pit.

It was just that he was a little luckier, as he had his father and his father's horse as cushions on his back, and his own horse as a cushion underneath him.

Only the left leg was pierced and he did not die immediately.

But the intense pain and his father's sudden death still made him howl miserably.

The five hundred soldiers in the rear were horrified!
Just as they were about to go forward to rescue, thousands of bandits with black scarves covering their faces suddenly rushed out from the woods on both sides, shouting and rushing towards the soldiers.

The soldiers were so frightened that they fled in panic, with no intention of fighting any longer.

Soon, most of the 500 soldiers escaped, except for a few who were caught up and killed by the bandits.

Seeing that all the soldiers had fled, Xu Sheng, who was hiding behind the crowd, slowly walked out.

He led his men straight to the pit and looked at Jin Yi who was still screaming inside.

Originally, this pit was only used to block this group of people.

They never expected that Jin Xuan and his son would suddenly start horse racing and fall directly into the trap they had set in advance.

All I can say is that it is God’s will that Jin Xuan and his son should die!

Xu Sheng looked at Jin Yi, who was not yet dead, with cold eyes.

Jin Yi also looked at the people gathered outside the pit and cursed with gnashing teeth:
"I knew that Lu Bu, that bastard, would not let us go!
"Tell Lu Bu to wait for me. Even if my father and I become ghosts, we will never let him go!"

Xu Sheng sneered:
"If being a ghost is useful, why are there so many evil people in this world?
"You two can go on your journey with peace of mind. The affairs of this world have nothing to do with you anymore!"

As Xu Sheng spoke, he took out a bow and arrow, pointed the sharp arrow at Jin Yi's head, and shot it down fiercely.

Watching Jin Yi slowly fall down, Xu Sheng waved his hands at his men without any wavering expression:

"Bury it on the spot and leave no trace!"

……

After taking over Linyuan City, Lu Bu successfully captured Wuling County!

In this way, the entire Jingzhou territory will belong to him!

The land of Jingxiang has great strategic value. If you get Jingzhou, it can be said that you get half of the world!

Jingzhou is bordered by the Yangtze and Han Rivers in the east, Bashu in the west, overlooks the southeast in the south, and is connected to the Central Plains in the north.

Not only are there abundant materials and sufficient money and food, but there is also a large population base and a strong reserve of talent.

It is the well-deserved first state among the Three Kingdoms!
Now that Lu Bu has taken over the entire Jingzhou and Yangzhou, it is equivalent to taking over nearly one third of the world.

When facing strong enemies like Cao Cao or Zhuge Wuhou again, he will no longer be as weak as before.

……

Lu Bu was drinking tea with Chen Gong in the prefect's mansion.

At this time, Xu Sheng walked in holding the handle of the ancient ingot knife and bowed to the two of them:

"My Lord, the matter has been resolved."

Lu Bu stood up in surprise, and then asked cautiously:

"Has Wen Xiang revealed his identity?"

Xu Sheng shook his head:

“It’s also the fault of Jin Xuan and his son that they both fell into the trap we dug.

"Jin Xuan didn't even see us, he was stabbed to death on the spot by the blade in the trap.

"As for Jin Yi, I shot him to death with one arrow.

"We killed dozens of the five hundred soldiers they led, and the rest fled in all directions.

“At that time, we were all dressed as bandits, and the death of Jin Xuan and his son could only be attributed to the bandits.

"Even if someone guesses that we did it, no one can accuse us without evidence.

"Besides, Jin Xuan isn't a big shot. No one will care whether they live or die."

After listening to Xu Sheng's words, Lu Bu immediately pulled him to sit on a stone bench and poured him a cup of tea:

"Thank you for your hard work, Wen Xiang. I am really wronging you to do such an unclean thing right after you arrive."

Xu Sheng shook his head:

"The lord did this to vent his anger on his brothers." "If Jin Xuan had surrendered earlier, General Huang and his men wouldn't have been injured, and those hundreds of elite cavalry wouldn't have died..."

Seeing that Xu Sheng could understand him, Lu Bu sighed and offered Xu Sheng a cup of tea.

As the three were talking, Liu Feng's voice suddenly came from the front yard:

"Be honest with me!"

Then a strange voice responded:

"I, I'm really not a spy..."

Soon, Liu Feng came in, escorting a young man of extraordinary appearance.

Lu Bu looked at the young man.

I saw that the other person had a thin face, a small mustache, and his facial features were very three-dimensional.

But at this moment, Liu Feng was holding down his hands, making him look a little embarrassed.

Liu Feng said to Lu Bu:
"My lord, when I was patrolling outside the prefect's mansion just now, I saw this fellow hiding in an alley not far away, constantly spying on the prefect's mansion.

“I was going to go up and question him, but he just ran away.

"I suspected he was a spy sent by the enemy, so I chased him and captured him and handed him over to the lord for interrogation!"

After hearing the whole story, Lu Bu nodded and praised Liu Feng:

"Captain Liu did a great job."

The young man who was caught quickly explained:

"Sir, I'm really not a spy! I was just curious about who the new master of the prefect's mansion was, so I took a closer look.

"Then this warrior suddenly rushed towards me, and I panicked and subconsciously turned around and ran.

"But I'm really not a spy..."

"Still want to quibble?"

Liu Feng tightened his grip on his shoulders, causing the young man to scream in pain:

“It hurts! Be gentle, be gentle!”

Looking at the man's handsome appearance, Lu Bu felt that he did not look like a spy, so he waved at Liu Feng.

Liu Feng understood what Lu Bu meant and let go of the young man's hand.

Lu Bu asked seriously:

"Who are you? Where do you live?"

The young man hurriedly bowed to Lu Bu and said:

"My name is Lu Fan, courtesy name Ziheng. I live in Youyang County and am the county magistrate."

"Oh?"

When Lu Bu heard the name "Lu Fan", he immediately became excited.

Another important official of the Eastern Wu in history!
He has made certain achievements in commanding troops and internal affairs, and can be regarded as a man of both civil and military talents.

After learning the other party's name and identity, Lu Bu became more and more certain that the other party was not a spy. He immediately invited him to sit down and made a pot of tea for him:

"County Magistrate Lu is so interested in the Prefectural Governor's Mansion that he must be considering whether to continue to work for the new owner of the Prefectural Governor's Mansion.

"Now that you have met me, do you plan to continue working with me or look for another job?"

Hearing this question, Lü Fan thought that if he said something wrong, he would probably lose his head, so he quickly expressed his loyalty to Lü Bu:

“Being able to work for Wen Hou is naturally more promising than working for Jin Xuan!
"As long as Marquis Wen needs me, Fan will be at your service!"

Lu Bu smiled happily:
"In that case, don't be a county magistrate. It will be easier for you to be promoted and reused if you come to work for me than if you were a local county magistrate."

Lu Fan was overjoyed and quickly stood up to thank Lu Bu.

Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction.

This time, not only did they capture Wuling County, but they also got the good talent Lu Fan, which was a double happiness.

Lu Bu immediately ordered a banquet to reward the three armies!
