Chapter 195 The annexation of Jiangxia

,,,,,,,,,,,,

The big tent was silent and extremely quiet. Behind Jiang Zhi was more than a dozen of his subordinates, and on the other side of the big tent, there were more than twenty Zhang Shuo's subordinates gathered.

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

A Battle of Chaisang brought Liu Jing's prestige in Jiangxia County to the peak, not only making ordinary people respected, but even the former Huang Zu army invisibly established great prestige.

At this time, Liu Jing lifted his sword and walked towards Zhang Shuo again, with murderous intent in his eyes. He refused to give up any one who dared to stop him from regaining military power.

Zhang Shuo stared at Liu Jing's blood-dropping sword. He was desperate. He begged to look at Su Fei. Zhang Shuo followed Su Fei for many years. The two had a deep friendship. In the Xiakou Camp, it was Zhang Shuo who rescued Su Fei and saved Su Fei.

Su Fei couldn't bear it and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to plead, "Although General Zhang offended Duke Jing, can he ask Duke Jing to spare his life for my sake?"

Huang Zhong couldn't help but say, "Mr. Jing, can you give me a face?"

Zhang Shuo was originally Huang Zhong's subordinate and respected Huang Zhong very much. Seeing that Zhang Shuo was about to be killed, Huang Zhong couldn't bear it and pleaded with Liu Jing.

If Su Fei's face could not stop Liu Jing's murderous intent, then coupled with Huang Zhong's face, Liu Jing's sword could not be cut down.

He put his knife back into the sheath and said coldly: "According to military rules, those who do not obey military orders will be killed. For the sake of General Su and Old General Huang pleading for you, I will spare you death, but I will not forgive you for your life."

Speaking of this, Liu Jing ordered his left and right and said, "Remove his military post and drive him out of the military camp."

Several soldiers took action together, stripped Zhang Shuo of armor, took him out of the tent, and drove him out of the military camp.

After dealing with Jiang Zhi and Zhang Shuo, Liu Jing raised his sword and shouted to the officers in the tent: "I, Liu Jing, take over military power, who else is not convinced?"

Several clever military marquis knelt down immediately, "I wish to serve Gong Jing"

Nearly officials in the tent knelt down one after another, "I wish to serve Gong Jing"

Su Fei sighed secretly. He finally learned about Liu Jing's iron-blooded method of seizing power. If he really surrendered to Liu Biao, then the person who was cut off his head at this time would not be Jiang Zhi, but Su Fei, who had to be grateful for his wisdom.

Liu Jing nodded, "I will treat him well for those who serve me, Liu Jing. Please rest assured that I will not cleanse again. This is my promise to you."

This promise was a timely rain, and the generals of the tent were immediately overjoyed. The thing they feared the most was finally resolved. With Liu Jing's promise, their future became brighter again.

"I wish to serve Gong Jing," the generals shouted in unison again, and this time there was a little more surrender than before.

Liu Jing also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at everyone, "From today, General Su will no longer serve as military post, but will be transferred to the position of Jiangxia County Magistrate. In the future, our military rations will depend on the position of Su County Magistrate."

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became relaxed. Su Fei smiled bitterly and explained to the generals: "Although he is the county magistrate, everyone will still be brothers in the future. If you have any difficulties, I, Su Fei, will do my best to help."

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

Su Fei bowed to Liu Jing and temporarily left the big tent. Since he had officially handed over the power, he should not stay in the big tent anymore.

At this time, Liu Jing's speech to his subordinates became serious. Liu Jing's face became serious. He walked a few steps behind his hands, and then said to the generals in a deep voice: "June Su also said just now that the Jiangdong army was stationed in Pengze. Although it is unlikely that they will attack Jiangxia again, we still have to defend ourselves. In case of this, we must strengthen the military's combat effectiveness immediately."

Liu Jing led the Chaisang army to defeat the main force of the Jiangdong army. What he said naturally had an indisputable prestige, and no one of the generals had any objections.

Liu Jing looked at the general in the tent again and continued to slowly say, "The main reason why the Chaisang Army can ultimately defeat the Jiangdong Army is due to the strict training in daily life, so I am going to start with training and practice the Wuchang garrison for seven days. In the next seven days, General Huang will be fully responsible for the training, with General Wei and General Gan assisting. Thank you for your hard work in the next seven days."

Everyone looked at each other, and many people didn't understand Liu Jing's real intention. Is it really going to defend against the Jiangdong Army?

...........

Training has always been the most effective way to control troops. During training, soldiers and generals will exchange, and all generals will face new troops, so they will not be able to hold their troops to respect themselves.

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

After leaving the military camp, 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 and he remembered an important thing.

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

Although Liu Jing did not kill Zhang Shuo in the military camp for Su Fei and Huang Zhong, it does not mean that he would let this person go.

Zhang Shuo is the eighteen generals of Huang Zu, and he has a lot of prestige in the Jiangxia army. If he is not completely eradicated, he will sooner or later become his own future.

In fact, in the Battle of Chaisang, Liu Jing's army also suffered heavy casualties. After Huang Zhong led his army back to Changsha, there was only a few troops left in his hands. He had to use the Jiangxia army to replenish the source of troops.

He did not want any interference or accidents in this process, especially when Zhang Shuo was driven out of the military camp by himself, he would never be willing to do so, and would inevitably destroy his control of Jiangxia's army. Therefore, he must be killed and killed without leaving any future troubles.

Like Wang Tai, the military marquis Li Qing was also one of the Yellow Turban Army slaves released by Liu Jing at that time. He was loyal to Liu Jing and performed particularly outstandingly in this Battle of Chaisang. He was promoted from the garrison commander to the military marquis, replacing Wang Tai's position.

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

.........

The Jiangxia County Yamen is located in the north of Wuchang County, close to the north gate. It is a building complex covering an area of ​​acres. It has been Huang Zu's official office for many years. Liu Jing annexed Jiangxia, so this Jiangxia County Yamen naturally belongs to Liu Jing.

After leaving the military camp, Liu Jing turned to Jiangxia County Yamen. Su Fei had already arrived first and greeted the officials of the county Yamen. When Liu Jing arrived, Su Fei led the officials to pay their respects one by one.

Liu Jing did not make things difficult for these middle and low-level officials. These officials were also important to him and they could ensure the normal operation of Jiangxia County.

Liu Jing was kind to comfort him, talking about salary and treatment. He took half an hour to send the officials away. He breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to look at his temporary official room.

Frankly speaking, he liked this county munition very much, spacious, grand, and exquisite and elegant. Small scenery can be seen everywhere. It can be seen that Huang Zu has put a lot of effort into this official munition. His official room is also bright and spacious, and all kinds of furniture are made of high-quality nanmu, which is very exquisite and exquisite.

Working here does make people feel like they have great power, but Liu Jing has not yet considered whether he will move to Wuchang in the future or continue to stay in Chaisang.

At the same time, he had another idea. He wanted to build a city in Xiakou, where he crossed the Han River and the Yangtze River, and his strategic position was very important. Building a city in Xiakou would help him to see Xiangyang in the north.

At this time, Su Fei smiled at the door and said, "Mr. Jing, can I come in?"

"Please come in"

Su Fei walked into the room and followed him two people, one of whom was Deng Long, the magistrate of Wuchang County. He was born in the Deng family in Nanyang and was the youngest brother of Deng Yi in the Jingzhou government. He was a classmate and friend of Huang She. The two had a lot of personal relationships. Therefore, although Deng family in Nanyang and Huang family in Nanyang were family friends, Huang Zu still appointed Deng Long as the magistrate of Wuchang County.

Another person, Liu Jing, knew Zhou Gu, the former head of the Zhou family. The Zhou family left Chaisang last year and moved to Wuchang. Unexpectedly, things were unpredictable. Huang Zu was killed, Zhou surrendered, and Liu Jing annexed Jiangxia County. Then the Zhou family's days 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 favor, hoping to get Liu Jing's understanding. After all, the Zhou family has never violated Liu Jing's interests for more than a year, and they have always been low-key and have been retaliated by Huang Xiu.

"It turns out that it is the head of the Zhou family, and it hasn't been seen for a long time."

Liu Jing nodded to Deng Long and greeted Zhou Gu again and said, "I thought the Zhou family would follow me when I went to Jiangdong."

Zhou Gu's face turned pale. Liu Jing's words mean that the Zhou family will no longer be used in the officialdom of Jiangxia. He was desperate and nervous in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "The Zhou family... is in Jiangxia, how could he 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 accumulates land tax and supports the Jiangxia army, in my eyes, there is no difference between the Zhou family and the Zhu family and the Tao family, I will treat everyone equally."

Liu Jing's words gave Zhou Gu a glimmer of hope. He hurriedly said: "The Zhou family will fully support Jing Gong and will never be devoted to Jiangdong."

Liu Jing was just giving Su Fei a face. It is hard to say what happened to the Zhou family. If Zhou Bing was used by Sun Quan, it would be difficult to guarantee that the Zhou family would not betray Jiang Xia. After all, it was a family with a criminal record. If you wait and see him in the future, he would comfort Zhou Gu for a few more words, and Zhou Gu stood up and said goodbye.

Liu Jing wanted to know many things in fact, but he didn't have time to ask in detail. It was not until Zhou Gu left that he found the opportunity and asked Su Fei: "There is news of Huang Ying, the Chief of Su Jun.

This is news that Liu Wei is concerned about. He knew that Huang She's army was defeated by Zhou Yu, but he didn't know the details. He didn't know the whereabouts of Huang She. The key is that the Huang family has a great influence in Jiangxia. Once Liu Biao appointed Huang She as Jiangxia's guard, it might be detrimental to him.

Su Fei shook his head, "I only know Huang She escaped from the chaos army. I don't know where he went, but one thing is certain. When he escaped, there was no soldier or soldier around him, and his whereabouts were unknown. Maybe he would go to Xiangyang to join the Cai family. You don't have to take this person to heart."

"Why"

Deng Long, the county magistrate next to him, laughed, "Huang She has a bad reputation among the Jiangxia army, and has been defeated repeatedly and is not loved by the people. More importantly, the roots of the Huang family have been completely eradicated by Sun Quan. Even if Huang She returns to Jiangxia, he will not do anything."

"What do you mean?"

Liu Jing asked in confusion: "What does the roots of the Huang family mean that Sun Quan has completely eradicated them?"

"Your Majesty still doesn't know that Huang's Villa has been massacred by Sun Quan. The Huang family's brother, from 80 years old to young children, has not left any man or woman, young and old. I went to Huang's Villa the day before yesterday and couldn't find a man with the surname Huang."

This news surprised and delighted Liu Jing. He really didn't know about this. He was also worried about dealing with the Huang family, but he didn't expect that Sun Quan gave him a big gift and completely eliminated his worries. This was the best.

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

Deng Long glanced at Su Fei, and Su Fei said, "There is one thing that needs to be explained clearly. The Huang family's 10,000 grains have been transported away by me and used as military rations for 5,000 soldiers. As for other property, all items in the Huang family have not been taken, and they are sealed in the Huang family villa."

Liu Jing nodded. This is normal. Su Fei's five thousand troops need military rations. He is a native of Jiangxia and cannot plunder civilian food. It is reasonable to take the Huang family's food, and he will not blame him.

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

He asked again: "What about the land, what about the land?"

"Reporting to Gong Jing, there are 9,400 hectares of fertile land in the Huang family, distributed in Wuchang and Xiakou. Now all the land deeds are in the county government. As for how to deal with it, both Beizhi and the county magistrate believe that it should be decided by the Duke."
