Soldiers come to the world

Chapter 195 The annexation of Jiangxia

There was no sound in the big tent, and the silence was abnormal. Behind Jiang Zhi stood a dozen of his subordinates, and on the other side of the big tent, there were also more than twenty subordinates of Zhang Shuo.

But these dozens of people were not confused because Jiang Zhi was killed and Zhang Shuo was arrested. On the one hand, it was because the main general Su Fei was still there, and on the other hand, they were also afraid of Liu Jing's prestige.

The battle of Chaisang made Liu Jing's prestige in Jiangxia County reach its peak. Not only did the ordinary people admire him, but even the former Huang Zu army also established a huge prestige invisibly.

At this time, Liu Jing raised his knife and walked towards Zhang Shuo, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he would not spare anyone who dared to prevent him from withdrawing troops.

Zhang Shuo stared at Liu Jing's bleeding saber. He was desperate. He looked at Su Fei pleadingly. Zhang Shuo had followed Su Fei for many years, and the two had a deep friendship. Rescue, to save Su Fei's life.

Su Fei couldn't bear it, and quickly stepped forward to plead for mercy, "Although General Zhang offended Mr. Jing, he also made meritorious deeds in fighting the Jiangdong Army. I beg you to spare his life."

Huang Zhong couldn't help but said: "Young Master Jing, people are not sages, no one can do anything wrong, can you give him a chance."

Zhang Shuo was Huang Zhong's subordinate at first, and he respected Huang Zhong very much. Seeing that Zhang Shuo was going to be killed, Huang Zhong couldn't bear it, so he also pleaded with Liu Jing.

If it is said that Su Fei's intercession could not stop Liu Jing's murderous intent, then coupled with Huang Zhong's intercession, finally Liu Jing's knife could not be slashed.

He put the knife back into its sheath, and said coldly: "According to the military regulations, those who disobey the military order will be beheaded. For the sake of General Su and General Huang's pleading for you, I will spare your death, but the crime of living will not be forgiven."

Speaking of this, Liu Jing shouted and said: "Remove his military post and drive him out of the barracks!"

Several soldiers worked together to strip off Zhang Shuo's armor, escort him out of the tent, and drive him out of the barracks.

After cleaning up Jiang Zhi and Zhang Shuo, Liu Jing raised his saber high and sternly shouted at all the officers: "I, Liu Jing, take over the military power, who else is not convinced!"

Several clever military marquises immediately knelt down, "I am willing to serve Young Master Jing!"

Nearly a hundred officers in the big tent knelt down one after another, "Willing to serve Young Master Jing!"

Su Fei sighed secretly, he finally learned Liu Jing's iron and blood methods to seize power, if he really surrendered to Liu Biao, then the person whose head was cut off at this time was not Jiang Zhi, but Su Fei, he had to be thankful own wise.

Liu Jing nodded, "I will definitely treat those who serve Liu Jing well. Please rest assured, generals. I will not clean it again. This is my promise to you all."

This promise was timely rain, and all the generals in the big tent were overjoyed. Their worst fears were finally resolved. With Liu Jing's promise, their future looked bright again.

"Willing to serve Young Master Jing!" All the generals shouted in unison again, this time with a little more surrender than before.

Liu Jing also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile to everyone: "From today on, General Su will no longer serve as a military officer, but will be transferred to Jiangxia Juncheng. From now on, we will rely on Su Juncheng for our military supplies."

The atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became relaxed. Su Fei smiled wryly and explained to the generals: "Although we are the Prime Minister, we are still brothers in the future. If you have any difficulties, I, Su Fei, will do my best to help."

Speaking of this, he suddenly felt a little inappropriate, and quickly added: "Of course, with Mr. Jing here, your difficulties can be easily solved, so I don't need to worry about it."

Su Fei bowed to Liu Jing and temporarily left the big tent. Since he has officially handed over power, it is not appropriate to stay in the big tent.

At this time, the big tent turned into Liu Jing's lectures to his subordinates, Liu Jing's face became serious, he walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and then said to the generals in a deep voice: "Su Juncheng also said just now, the Jiangdong Army stopped. Stationed in Pengze, although it is unlikely that they will attack Jiangxia again, we still have to be on the safe side, and we must immediately strengthen our troops."

Liu Jing led the Chai Sang Army to defeat the main force of the Jiangdong Army. Naturally, what he said had an irrefutable prestige, and no one in the generals had any objections.

Liu Jing glanced at the general in the tent again, and continued to speak slowly: "The main reason why the Chaisang Army finally defeated the Jiangdong Army was the rigorous training in the usual times, so I am going to start with the training and train hard against the Wuchang Garrison for seven days. For the first seven days, General Huang will be in charge of the training, with General Wei and General Gan assisting, and for the next seven days, I will work hard for you all."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Many people didn't understand Liu Jing's real intention. Was it really to defend Jiangdong Army?

. . . . . . . .

Training has always been the most effective means of controlling troops. During training, soldiers will be exchanged, and all generals will face new troops, so that they cannot hold back their own strength.

According to experience, after a rigorous training, the army will be firmly controlled by the trainers. This is Liu Jing's purpose and the result he expected.

After leaving the barracks, according to the plan, Liu Jing was going to the county government office to take charge of government affairs, but as soon as he walked out of the camp, Liu Jing stopped in his tracks, thinking of an important matter.

He turned his head and said coldly to Li Qing, the military marquis who was following him, "Take a few brothers to find that Zhang Shuo, kill him, and bring his head to me."

Although Liu Jing didn't kill Zhang Shuo in the barracks for the sake of Su Fei and Huang Zhong, it didn't mean he would let him go.

Zhang Shuo is the head of Huang Zu's eighteen generals, and he is quite prestigious in Jiang Xia's army. If he is not completely eradicated, he will become his own trouble sooner or later.

In fact, during the battle of Chaisang, Liu Jing's army also suffered heavy casualties. After Huang Zhong led his army back to Changsha, there was not much army left in his hands, and he had to use Jiang Xia's army to replenish his troops.

He didn't want any disturbances and accidents in the process, especially if Zhang Shuo was driven out of the barracks by himself, he would never be reconciled, it would definitely destroy his control of Jiang Xia's army, so he must be killed without leaving any future troubles.

Marquis Li Qing, like Wang Tai, was also one of the Yellow Turban slaves released by Liu Jing at the time. He was loyal to Liu Jing and performed particularly well in this Battle of Chaisang.

Li Qing knelt down on one knee and replied: "I understand, go and search for that Zhang Shuo immediately."

. . . . . . . . .

Jiangxia County Office is located in the north of Wuchang County, near the North Gate. It is a building complex covering an area of ​​[-] mu. It has been the official office of Huang Zu for many years. Liu Jing annexed Jiangxia, and this Jiangxia County Office naturally belonged to Liu Jing.

After leaving the barracks, Liu Jing turned to the Jiangxia County Yamen. Su Fei had already arrived one step ahead and greeted all the officials of the county government. When Liu Jing arrived, Su Fei led the officials to pay a visit one by one.

Liu Jing did not embarrass these middle and low-level officials. These officials are also extremely important to him. They can ensure the normal operation of Jiangxia County.

Liu Jing comforted him with good words, talked about salary and treatment, and tossed and tossed for half an hour before sending all the officials away. He heaved a long sigh of relief and stood up to look at his temporary official room.

Frankly speaking, he likes this county office very much. It is spacious, magnificent, yet refined and elegant. Small scenes can be seen everywhere. It can be seen that Huang Zu has put a lot of effort into this official office. His official room is also bright and spacious. All kinds of furniture are made of high-quality nanmu, which is very fine and exquisite.

Working here does give people a sense of power, but Liu Jing has not yet considered whether he will move to Wuchang in the future or stay in Chaisang.

At the same time, he had another idea. He wanted to build a city in Xiakou, where the Han River and the Yangtze River were strategically important. Building a city in Xiakou would help him see Xiangyang in the north.

At this moment, Su Fei smiled at the door and said, "Young Master Jing, can I come in?"

"Please come in!"

Su Fei walked into the room, followed by two people, one was Deng Long, the magistrate of Wuchang County, who was born in Nanyang Deng family, and was the younger brother of Deng Yi in Jingzhou Zhizhong. He and Huang She were classmates and schoolmates.Therefore, although the Deng family of Nanyang and the Huang family of Nanyang were family friends, Huang Zu still appointed Deng Long as the county magistrate of Wuchang.

The other person, Liu Jing, knew him. It was Zhou Gu, the former head of the Zhou family. The Zhou family left Chaisang last year and moved to Wuchang. Unexpectedly, Huang Zu was killed, Zhou Bing surrendered, and Liu Jing annexed Jiangxia County. Then the life of the Zhou family began to be sad again.

However, Su Fei's wife is the daughter of the Zhou family. It is precisely because of this relationship that Zhou Gu entrusted Su Fei with favors, hoping to get Liu Jing's understanding. After all, the Zhou family has never violated Liu Jing again for more than a year. interests, and they have been very low-key, and they have been retaliated by Huang She.

"So it's Patriarch Zhou, long time no see."

Liu Jing nodded in greeting to Deng Long, then smiled at Zhou Gu: "Your brother went to Jiangdong, I thought the Zhou family would follow."

Zhou Gu's face turned pale. Liu Jing's words meant that Jiang Xia's officialdom would no longer use the Zhou family. He was desperate and nervous, and said in a trembling voice: "The Zhou family... is rooted in Jiang Xia, why did you go to Jiangdong?"

Liu Jing felt Zhou Gu's nervousness, and he suddenly realized that Zhou Gu had misunderstood his words. He smiled and said: "As long as the Zhou family actively pays the land tax and supports Jiangxia's army, in my eyes, the Zhou family, the Zhu family, There is no difference between the Tao family, I will treat them equally."

Liu Jing's words gave Zhou Gu a glimmer of hope, he quickly said: "The Zhou family will fully support Mr. Jing, and will never turn their hearts to Jiangdong."

Liu Jing was just giving Su Fei a face. It's hard to say what happened to the Zhou family. If Zhou was used by Sun Quan, it would be impossible to guarantee that the Zhou family would not betray Jiang Xia. After all, it is a family with a criminal record. Let's wait and see in the future!He comforted Zhou Gu a few more words, and Zhou Gu got up and left.

In fact, Liu Jing wanted to know a lot of things, but he didn't have time to ask them carefully. It wasn't until Zhou Gu left that he found the opportunity and asked Su Fei, "Does Su Juncheng have any news about Huang She?"

This is news that Liu is very concerned about. He knows that Huang She's army was defeated by Zhou Yu, but he doesn't know the details, nor does he know Huang She's whereabouts. The key is that the Huang family has great influence in Jiangxia. , I'm afraid it's not good for me.

Su Fei shook his head, "I only know that Huang She escaped from the rebellious army. I don't know where he went, but one thing is for sure. When he escaped, there was no one around him. His whereabouts are unknown. Maybe he will go to Xiangyang You don't have to take this person too seriously for taking refuge in the Cai family."

"Why?"

Deng Long, the county magistrate next to him, laughed, "Huang She has a bad reputation in the Jiangxia army. Going back to Jiangxia will do nothing."

"What do you mean by that?"

Liu Jing asked in confusion: "What do you mean 'the roots of the Huang family have been completely eradicated by Sun Quan'?"

"Young Master, you don't know! Huang's villa has been massacred by Sun Quan's men. The children of Huang's family range from 80-year-olds to three-year-olds. There are hundreds of men, women, and children. I just went there the day before yesterday." In Huang's Villa, there is no one with the surname Huang."

This news surprised and delighted Liu Jing, he really didn't know about it, and he was worrying about dealing with the Huang family, but he didn't expect Sun Quan to give him a big gift to eradicate his troubles, which couldn't be better.

Liu Jing remembered something again, and quickly asked: "What about the property and land of the Huang family, how should we deal with it now?"

Deng Long glanced at Su Fei, and Su Fei said, "There is one thing I need to explain. The Huang family's [-] shi grains have been transported away by me and used as rations for [-] soldiers. As for other properties, I have not taken any of them. , are all sealed up in Huang’s Villa.”

Liu Jing nodded, this is normal, Su Fei's [-] troops need rations, he is a native of Jiangxia, it is impossible to plunder the people's rations, it is reasonable to take the Huang's rations, he will not blame him.

But Liu Jing is more concerned about the fertile land of the Huang family. He knows that the Huang family is known as the third largest family in Jingzhou, second only to Cai and Kuai, and owns almost half of the fertile land in Jiangxia County.

He asked again: "Then what about the land, what is the condition of the land?"

"Returning to Mr. Jing, the Huang family's fertile land has a total of [-] hectares, which are distributed in Wuchang and Xiakou. Now all the land deeds are in the county government. As for how to deal with it, both the humble official and the prefect think that it should be decided by the young master. .”

Liu Jing thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Tomorrow morning, let's go to Huang's Villa and see how much we can gain."
