Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 916 Appease Jingchu 2
After Gongsun Xu's army entered Xiangyang, the entire territory of Jingzhou gradually fell under the control of the northern army.The surrender of the 20 Jingzhou navy led by Cai Mao undoubtedly enhanced the combat effectiveness of Gongsun Xu's navy in an instant. Although he also has his own navy, and the naval force is quite mature, the navy of the Northern Xinjiang Army has shortcomings. It's just that he lacks combat experience on inland rivers for the time being. Moreover, the main purpose of Gongsun Xu's navy from the beginning was sailing. It can be said that most of the ships in his navy are not suitable for inland river navigation.

This also destined Gongsun Xu's navy to play the role of transport troops in these years of battles. After all, none of these years' battles were completed at sea or by the sea.

After pacifying the aristocratic families and squires in the city, Gongsun Xu temporarily placed his office in the barracks. Liu Biao's mansion is large and spacious enough for Gongsun Xu's activities. However, compared to other mansions, Gongsun Xu I still feel that my barracks are relatively safe. After all, Xiangyang has just been captured, and anything can happen at this moment.

"Report,,,,,,," a soldier came in and said, "My lord, General Cai Mao is asking to see you."

"Let him in." Gongsun Xu continued to process the official documents without raising his head, and Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Li Ru next to him did not delay the matter at hand. There were too many things during this time, and they all felt a little overwhelmed , Gongsun Xu had already ordered Xu Shu and Pang Tong to rush over immediately. With these counselors around, Gongsun Xu's task would be much easier.

"The general is overjoyed..." Cai Mao shouted as soon as he walked in: "All the [-] defenders in Nanxiang surrendered and are now being recruited by General Gao Shun. The generals in the army have now returned. In addition, Generals from all over Jiang Xia and Yiyang have also rushed back, and they are all out of the tent now, and they are waiting to be reprimanded by you, General."

"Oh, they're all back, um, that's fine, let them come in." Gongsun Xu nodded. He also felt that it was necessary to establish a good relationship with the generals of the Jingzhou Army. He is a descendant of a powerful family in Jingzhou, and Gongsun Xu has a good relationship with them, which means he has a good relationship with the local family.Of course, as a general, he doesn't really need to do this, but it's better for him to get in touch with these new subordinates of his.

Not long after, some of Gongsun Xu's subordinates came in first. Zhang Jai, Pang De, Gan Ning and others walked in to salute Gongsun Xu. They were sent to work in various places in Jingzhou before. Bringing back the tie is also a way to stabilize Jingzhou's army.

"My lord, this is the list of generals of the Jingzhou Army." Zhang Ja stepped forward and said, "The main generals of Nanxiang, Xincheng, Jiangxia, and Yiyang are all on this list. The attitude of Yang and other counties is still unclear, as if they think we can't control them."

"There is also Jiaozhou." Gongsun Xu said with a sneer: "Sooner or later, these places will be taken. However, Jingzhou has a large land and abundant resources. After all, the south of Changsha is far away from Xiangyang, let alone Jiaozhou. We have just entered Xiangyang. Many Things have to go slowly.

These generals of the Jingzhou army can also be regarded as the elite of Jingchu. You have fought against them more or less in various places, and you should know them a little bit, so please tell us your opinions. Who will be recommended respectively, Xingba, you come first. "

"My lord, when the last general followed General Huang Zhong to attack the Jiangxia area, he also encountered stubborn resistance from the enemy." Gan Ning cupped his hands and replied, "Although Jingzhou has hundreds of thousands of troops, there are not many real elites. Jiangxia is adjacent to Jiangdong, and it can be regarded as the place where wars are most likely to occur in Jingzhou. Over the years, Jiangxia prefect Huang Zu has fought against the Jiangdong navy many times. It was a tie, of course, it must be that Huang Zu has the advantage in terms of military strength and city, but it is undeniable that Huang Zu's ability is not bad, but the Huang family's influence in Jiangxia is not small.

In addition, Su Fei, the governor of Jiangxia, is an old friend of the last general, and the last general is well aware of his abilities. This time when he attacked Jiangxia, Su Fei's water village stood firm until the end, and our army was unable to capture it. In the end, Huang Zu came forward to surrender to solve the problem. In the battle, this person is a rare fierce general in water warfare, and he has commanded the navy to guard Jiangxia for many years, and he is familiar with the terrain of Jiangdong. In these years, Huang Zu was able to contend with the Jiangdong army, and a large part of it was because of Su Fei. "

"Well, Xingba has done a good job." Gongsun Xu picked up a brush and drew two strokes on the list and said, "Let them all come in. We can talk about the selection of generals later. Let them wait for a long time, maybe they will have other thoughts in their minds."

Under the instruction of Gongsun Xu, these Jingzhou generals all came in, and the leader was Huang Zu. After all, among the generals, Huang Zu's identity and status were all there.

"See General..." Twenty or thirty generals of the Jingzhou army all knelt down and saluted, and many of them trembled a little while saluting. In addition, Gongsun Xu has deployed dozens of personal guards in the big tent. At this moment, these personal guards are staring at them with knife handles in their hands. Those who don't know think that they are going to be executed on the spot.

"That's right, everyone is suffering, so get up." Gongsun Xu said with a smile, "I'm a newcomer to Jingzhou. I've been negligent. Please forgive me."

"Subordinates dare not,,,,,,"

After everyone stood up and retreated on both sides, they suddenly heard someone shouting outside the tent: "The crime will be late, please forgive me, General..."

A strong man came in and knelt down in front of Gongsun Xu. Gongsun Xu looked at him and asked, "Who are you and why are you late?"

"The sinner, Wenpin, heard that Liu Jingzhou had died of illness before entering the city, so he went to pay his respects first, so he came late." Wenpin knew how big a mistake he had made, but Liu Biao was kind to him, so he had to go.

"Wenpin, loyalty is rare." Gongsun Xu sighed and said: "Tonight I will host a banquet in the army to entertain you. Since Jingzhou has belonged to me, you will be my subordinates from now on. I, Gongsun Xu, assure you , Jingzhou will only get better and better, and I, Gongsun Xu, will never treat the soldiers and civilians of Jingzhou who sincerely surrender to me."

"General Xie,,,,,,"

After getting Gongsun Xu's promise, everyone went back with confidence.According to the rumors, Gongsun Xu has always been ruthless and ruthless in his work. Although he is more lenient towards the surrendered army, he is absolutely merciless when killing people. Many generals of the Jingzhou army asked people to find connections before they came, hoping to leave a good impression in front of Gongsun Xu.

However, Gongsun Xu seems to be much easier to get along with than imagined, but there will definitely be a group of people who will be promoted and a group of people will be demoted. After all, Jingzhou has changed the masters of the country. very different.
