Chapter 902 Sending troops to Jingzhou(1/2)
"Let Liu Bei run away?" Liu Mang had already arrived in Fancheng at this moment.
He frowned and looked at the reports of the Yangzhou generals and officers below.
"How could Liu Bei run away?" Although Liu Mang had a premonition, he might not be able to keep Liu Bei this time. After all, Liu Bei's escape technique was really good. Dong Zhuo failed to keep Liu Bei, Yuan Shao failed to keep Liu Bei, and even Cao Cao and Lu Bu were unable to keep Liu Bei.
But this time, Liu Mang has set up a net of heaven and earth.
Not only were the troops arranged to garrison in Fancheng long ago, but Sun Gan in Liu Bei's naval camp also rushed in early.
"I miscalculated this matter and could not stop Liu Bei!" A general who was solemn and golden armored by Liu Mang said.
This person is not someone else, but Liu Mang's cheap father-in-law, Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian.
He came from Lujiang with five thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry. Originally, Liu Mang planned to give him this opportunity to avenge him, but he never expected that he would be intercepted by Guan Yu.
Thinking about it, Lu Bu was so angry, because when he was in the duel with Guan Yu, Guan Yu asked Lu Bu to give him time to use the strongest moves.
Lu Bu agreed, but he thought Guan Yu had also broken through, so he gave Guan Yu a chance.
But he never thought that Guan Yu would turn around and run away as he watched Liu Bei's army walk away. Lu Bu was stunned. It would be too late to pursue him.
Liu Mang looked at his cheap father-in-law and blamed Lu Bu. He didn't dare to give him Liu Mang ten courage.
"If you want to blame me, blame me!" Someone began to confess his guilt again, and Lu Xun on the other side half-kneeled at Liu Mang. "It was because the general did not consider it comprehensively, so Liu Bei had the opportunity to escape!"
Lu Xun regretted that if he did not use the crossbow on the Garen ship but chose to fight on the sidelines, he would probably not have left in troubled waters so easily.
"Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with the Governor of the Army. I am not able to know that Liu Bei is also good at water!" A scholar next to Lu Xun walked out and knelt down at Liu Mang and said.
"Huh?" Liu Mang looked at the person on the ground. Liu Mang was not familiar with this person, otherwise he would not have called Liu Mang the King of Han. Naturally, someone next to him introduced him to Liu Mang.
"Duve?" Liu Mang subconsciously spoke when he heard the name. Isn't this chocolate?
It's his brand.
"Who is chocolate?" Dove was also confused.
"Oh, I know someone who is similar to Mr. He has a surname Qiao, his name is Kry, and his name is Dove!" Liu Mang could only explain this.
Dove nodded without saying much.
"Are you the junior brother of Minister Sun?" Liu Mang looked at Dove.
"I once attended the class with my senior brother under Teacher Zheng Xuan's command!" Dove lowered his head and said.
"Okay, okay!" Liu Mang nodded. Even if the disciple of the great scholar Zheng Xuan was not very capable, his character was still reliable. The reason why Sun Gan betrayed Liu Bei was that Liu Bei completely forced Sun Gan to Liangshan.
"Bo Fu, Gongjin, what do you two think of Liu Bei!" Liu Mang looked at Sun Ce and Zhou Yu over there.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at each other. The two were now one. Zhou Yu nodded and stood up, meaning he came out to explain.
"Liu Bei is a treacherous hero. Judging from his appearance, he should not be inferior to others. He can tolerate and change things as a career, which is a pity!" Zhou Yu stopped talking halfway.
"What's wrong with Gongjin!? Keep going!" Liu Mang stretched out his hand and meant that Zhou Yu continued.
"It's a pity that I met you, lord!" Zhou Yu said to Liu Mang.
The ancients were good at reading photos, and the most famous one was probably Xu Shao and Xu Zijiang. You can see at a glance that Cao Cao's future weak pulse.
Although Zhou Yu could not reach that level, based on what Liu Bei did over the years, he could also infer Liu Bei's character.
The younger brother who has lived in many people has also been ridiculed by many people. Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao looked down on this horse archer at all, but now, the two of them have been buried in the land, while Liu Bei is still jumping around. It is enough to see that Liu Bei's lifeblood is coming.
Liu Mang's eyes flashed when he heard Zhou Yu's words. Isn't this true in the original trajectory? If it weren't for Liu Mang, Liu Bei should be preparing for the Battle of Chibi with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu and others. Then he would become famous in one battle. Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, and then he would be divided into three parts of the world. It was indeed considered a career.
But today Liu Bei is really a bit miserable. He failed to kill Lu Bu, but his son-in-law, Lu Bu, repeatedly destroyed his foundation, and now he almost becomes a prisoner.
"If Liu Bei returns to Jingzhou, it would be a troublesome!" Liu Mang frowned.
The reason why he wanted to take Runan first was to solve the big trouble of Liu Bei in Nanyang County. After all, this messing stick is uncomfortable.
What Liu Mang in Jingzhou wants is a complete Jingzhou, a Jingzhou that has not suffered much war, but not a broken Jingzhou.
According to Liu Bei's temperament in Yuzhou, he and Liu Bei could not get what he could not get, and he could destroy him. The people of Yuzhou fought to the death on the city, which forced Liu Mang to massacre the city to serve as a warning.
"Why bother lord? Liu Bei may not be able to arrive in Xiangyang smoothly. Even if he can arrive in Xiangyang, I'm afraid that Xiangyang is not his current membership!" Zhou Yu on the other side continued to smile and spoke.
"What does it mean?" Liu Mang was stunned for a moment.
Zhou Yu smiled but refused to answer, but instead gave Liu Mang an answer that was irresponsible, "Have you ever seen who is missing here?"
"Who?" Liu Mang looked over at a glance. The military generals and civil officials he brought out were basically here, and even Zhang Yun was standing aside.
"Duf, where is your senior brother?" Liu Mang finally saw who was missing, one was Xu Sheng and the other was Sun Qian.
And Xu Sheng followed Sun Qian.
"When you go back to the King of Han, I don't know where your senior brother is going?" Dove shook his head. He had already separated from Sun Qian when he was with Guan Yu to rescue Liu Bei.
"Lord, if it's good, Mr. Sun is probably in Xiangyang City now!" Zhou Yu said to Liu Mang with a smile and said, "
"Sun Qian is in Xiangyang?"
After learning that Liu Bei was going to rescue, Zhou Yu did not follow Zhou Yu and others to encircle Liu Bei's army, but instead changed direction and went straight towards Xiangyang. It seemed that he was still very confident that his old lord could escape from Liu Mang's hands.
"If Sun Qian was in Xiangyang at this time?!" Liu Mang's eyes lit up, because Sun Qian was not alone, and he was surrounded by Xu Sheng's five thousand black flag troops.
If Sun Qian had embraced Jingzhou alone with the 5,000 Black Flag Army, he might have been surrounded and suppressed by Liu Bei's army.
But now Liu Bei's two main troops, one in Nanyang County, has almost been wiped out by Liu Mang's army, and the other in Yizhou is guarding against Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's army.
It can be said that Xiangyang is now empty.
If a soldier was inserted horizontally at this moment, he would probably occupy Xiangyang City.
There are not many decent generals guarding Xiangyang City.
According to Sun Gan's hatred for Liu Bei now, he would not let Liu Bei go in the past ten years. Liu Mang is really eager to see Liu Bei go to the city of Xiangyang after all his luck, but finds that the city has changed its ownership.
"Haha, haha!" Liu Mang couldn't help laughing and was happy that he was giving up a lot of rewards.
This kind of troops was a great victory. Not only did he take Runan, it can be said that Yuzhou has fallen into the arms of the Yangzhou army, but now there is a Nanyang County added.
Although Nanyang County belongs to a county in Jingzhou, its place is even bigger than half of Jingzhou. It used to be called the capital, with the Cai family, Kuai family, Zhang family, and the foundation of these Jingzhou gentry, Nanyang County will soon develop into a huge city.
These Jingzhou gentry would definitely support him, Liu Mang, and they could be considered as binding them to the chariot of the Yangzhou Army.
As the representatives of the gentry of Nanyang County, the Kuai family and the Cai family have received a lot of rewards.
In addition to rewarding a thousand gold coins, Kuai Liang of the Kuai family was summoned by Liu Mang to the court in Shouchun. He presided over the Dali Temple management to take charge of the punishments of Shouchun generation. He had the privilege of investigating and handling cases, and Liu Mang even gave Kuai Liang the authority. As long as you, Kuai Liang, think that anyone with problems in Yangzhou, you have the right to investigate and punish, and Liu Mang will take the blame for offending anyone.
This is really a big deal. If Kuai Liang is a little bit ill-gotten, he can arrest anyone except Liu Mang.
Fortunately, Kuai Liang was originally a straightforward person. Liu Mang made him the sect of Dali Temple because of this. Kuai Liang was once the Xiangyang Order of Xiangyang. Liu Biao, who was in the middle of Xiangyang, had a headache when he saw Kuai Liang.
Of course, it goes without saying that Liu Mang married a sister Princess Yanran to him, which was considered a brother-in-law.
He gave Kuai Ran a place as a village marquis because Kuai Ran did not have the intention to be an official, otherwise Liu Mang would have prepared Kuai Ran to summon him to the six tribes.
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue will not be there for the time being, so they will keep the reward, and there is another one that Zhang Yun cannot forget.
Although Zhang Yun's Zhang family is not as good as the Cai family and the Kuai family, they are also a rare gentry.
Liu Mang was not stingy with the county magistrate of Runan County, Yuzhou, and also gave him the title of a village marquis.
Letting Zhang Yun go to Runan to take office is Liu Mang's imperial skills.
The Zhang family, Kuai family, Cai family, is a local snake in Jingzhou for more than a hundred years.
Liu Mang would not leave these three families in Jingzhou anymore. Even if Liu Mang agreed, the advisers around him would not agree. Xu Shu's cabinet had already arranged the places for these three families.
The Zhang family went to Runan, the Kuai family stayed in Jingzhou, and the Cai family followed Liu Mang to Yangzhou.
The three families must be divided.
The rest is Sun Gan’s junior brother, Dove.
Dove was no longer within Liu Mang's consideration, but this person was recommended by Sun Gan and was also a disciple of Zheng Xuan. In addition, if it weren't for this person, Sun Gan would not have such a good opportunity to gain the rule of Guan Yu camp. Later, he almost gave Liu Bei to the surface of the Yangtze River. This person is a talent for both emotion and reason.
"Duf, do you know Nanyang County?" Liu Mang asked Dove over there.
"Although there are not many, I can see it roughly!" Dove said modestly.
"Oh? Tell me!" Liu Mang said with some interest.
"Although Nanyang County belongs to Jingzhou, half of the land and Jingzhou divide the two sides of the Yangtze River. The far-born capital is Wancheng. More than a hundred years ago, it was the capital of my Han Dynasty!" Dove said a lot.
Liu Mang nodded unstoppably. The most critical point was that Dove suggested that Liu Mang divide Nanyang County into two offices, with the boundary of the tail of the Yangtze River. Near the south of the Yangtze River in Jingzhou, Nanyang County, and Wancheng County on the north bank of the Yangtze River. In this way, it can be convenient for management and convenient transportation.
Needless to say, if the city in Jiangbei wants to get a reply from the county magistrate, he will send someone to cross the river to deliver the message.
"Very good!" Liu Mang looked very satisfied at Dove, and couldn't help but speak, "Mr. Dove, what if I asked you to be the county magistrate of Wancheng County?" Liu Mang offered his conditions, that was the county magistrate of the newly established Wancheng County.
"This, this, this!" Dove had no time to react for a while. He had been helping people before. He was either engaged in the army, or the chief clerk.
That's all for help.
When Dove can stand alone, subconsciously Dove becomes a little timid.
"What? Zheng Xuan's apprentice can't even manage a county town?"
He gritted his teeth and said, "Du can't do it, but he can't embarrass his teacher Zheng Xuan."
"I pay homage to you, lord!" Dove knelt down to Liu Mang, and recognized Liu Mang as his master.
