Chapter 118: Take Jingzhou

Here Yuan Shu is signing for Tai Shi Ci, Xu Chu and Yu Jin, and over there the battle between Zhang Liao and Huang Zu has ended.

Facing Huang Zu's army, Zhang Liao used no tactics and went straight up to fight. Zhang Liao led 30,000 soldiers and defeated Huang Zu's 80,000 troops alive, and Huang Zu was also hacked to death by Zhang Liao.

Later, with the help of this battle, Zhang Liao stepped into the threshold of the puppet army soul. Leading the remaining 20,000 troops, Zhang Liao returned to Yuzhang with 30,000 surrendered troops.

Fazheng came all the way just to watch the fun, and didn't even get the soy sauce, but he was so frustrated.

Huang Zhong's 50,000-strong army was approaching Xiangyang, the capital of Jingzhou.

Liu Biao was on the city wall, looking at Huang Zhong's menacing army outside the city. He looked at his subordinates Wen and Wu with an ugly expression: "Everyone, Yuan Shu's army is approaching the city. What suggestions do you have?"

Everyone looked at each other, looking at each other in tacit understanding and then lowered their heads.

Seeing the silence of each of these people, Liu Biao was filled with anger, but he could not get angry.

"Where's Wenpin! Why hasn't Wenpin arrived yet?"

Kuai Liang stood up and said: "Reporting to the governor, Wenpin encountered the remaining Yellow Turban party in Nanjun and was unable to come."

Liu Biao was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he clenched his hands. Looking at Kuai Liang, who had lowered his eyebrows and bent over with a respectful look on his face, he really wanted to punch him.

Yellow Turban Remaining Party! Do you think I’m a fool? Where can a Yellow Turban Remaining Party stand up to Wenpin? At this juncture, you show up for me a Yellow Turban Remaining Party!

Facing these officials who were respectful on the surface but sneered on the inside, Liu Biao felt a chill in his heart.

He understood that he was now considered a traitor and alienated from his relatives. Oh no, there was no alienation from his relatives, only betrayal from his relatives, because he had not cultivated any trusted confidant here who could stand up to the public eye.

After punching the city wall hard, Liu Biao breathed a sigh of relief: "Since there is no other way, let's surrender!"

When Kuai Yue and other civil and military officials heard this, they all bowed and said: "The governor is wise!"

There was not even a single person to dissuade or comfort me.

Liu Biao walked down the city wall alone as if he was dead, his back was extremely bleak. After walking down the stairs, Liu Biao looked at the empty place behind him, sighed softly, and looked at a bird flying in the sky.

"Why am I, Liu Jingsheng, so miserable and reduced to such a state!"

Liu Biao burst into tears, feeling that his fate was miserable and that he was about to be ruined.

He had just escaped from Dong Zhuo's clutches and arrived in Jingzhou, but before he could show off his skills, Yuan Shu came over.

As a result, he was thrown out by Dong Zhuo because he was a child of Cumin. When he arrived in Jingzhou, he didn't even have a single general and thousands of troops.

Jingzhou's troops and horses are all in the hands of aristocratic families, and they can't even mobilize them themselves.

As soon as Cai Mao and Huang Zu were defeated, all the aristocratic families in Jingzhou expressed their intention to surrender.

He thought he would be able to achieve great things, but he only served as the governor of Jingzhou in name only for two months. Now Liu Zhan deeply understood the feelings of his deceased nephew Liu Bian. He was so aggrieved!

A group of people under his command wanted to surrender without caring about him at all. This feeling made Liu Biao extremely uncomfortable.

"Lord Zirou, since Governor Liu has asked us to surrender, please give us the order!"

Kuai Liang nodded, this farce should be over: "Come here, open the city gate and let General Huang enter the city!"

"promise!"

Huang Zhong entered Xiangyang City like this. This time he just showed off his muscles and captured Jingzhou without even hurting any of his soldiers.

Looking at Liu Biao standing alone at the gate of Jingzhou City, Huang Zhong took the seal of Jingzhou Governor from his hand and said indifferently: "Master Liu, General Anton has arranged a mansion for you in Jinling. Please clean it up."

Let’s get ready to go to Jinling.”

Liu Biao sighed softly: "I understand."

Huang Zhong looked at Liu Biao's desolate figure, and a hint of sympathy arose in his heart. How pitiful! Who gave you the last name Liu?

If Liu Biao was not a member of the clan, Yuan Shu might still use him. However, since this guy had the surname Liu, he was ambitious, and his methods were not weak, Yuan Shu was not worried about him running around outside, so he might as well be kept in captivity in Jinling.

Huang Zhong led the army and quickly took over Xiangyang City. As for the other counties in Jingzhou, with the help of aristocratic families, the mission could be decided.

As Huang Zhong's accompanying military advisor, Jushou was actually here to take control of the overall situation in Jingzhou.

When he first took charge of Jingzhou, it was the Jingzhou aristocratic families who took the initiative to welcome Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu was embarrassed to do too much. He could only take it step by step, give them some benefits first, appease the emotions of these aristocratic families, and stabilize the situation.

.

Under Jushou's notice, the Jingzhou aristocratic families gathered together and came to the Governor's Mansion.

Looking at the thirty-two aristocratic family heads below, Jushou sighed softly in his heart, some of them were busy again.

After calming down, Ju Shu said: "First of all, I would like to thank you all for helping my lord, General Anton, control Jingzhou."

Kuai Liang and other family heads said in unison: "Don't say it, sir. General Anton came with great righteousness to put down the rebellion in Jingzhou. It is natural for us to help him."

Jushou smiled: "The general will be very pleased that you all understand the righteousness so well. Please rest assured that the general is not a cold-blooded person, and the general will never forget your contributions."

Kuai Liang and others had a secret smile on their lips, and what they wanted was this sentence: "Thank you, sir."

After saying the polite words, Jushu said with a straight face: "Please rest assured that General Anton will never touch your interests easily, and will provide you with a lot of convenience. However, I hope you can see some principle issues clearly.

Understand, and don’t touch it.”

Kuai Liang said respectfully: "Sir, please speak. We are all ears."

Jushou took a deep breath: "First of all, all troops and horses in Jingzhou must be controlled by General Anton. No one can hide private soldiers."

"Second, all official positions need to be re-examined and arranged. The specific matters will be carried out after being arranged by Lord Zhou Mu. However, please rest assured that the assessment of the General's Office is absolutely fair and impartial. Please tell me who will be assigned to what position.

Rely on your ability."

"Third, from now on, many of Yangzhou's policies will be implemented in Jingzhou, including not allowing private land transactions."

After hearing this, Kuai Liang was relieved. Although the other heads of the aristocratic families had already prepared, they still felt very dissatisfied. His family's status as the lawless local overlord was about to be deprived of him.

Jushuo saw that these people's expressions were just a little bad, and they didn't have too many overreactions, so he nodded with satisfaction.

Sure enough, words of persuasion are far less effective than facts. In the past, Yuan Shu had told Yangzhou aristocratic families about his great principles, but in the end, these aristocratic families still did not believe them one by one, and many chose to seek death.

But now that the facts of Yangzhou are placed in front of the Jingzhou families, each of these Jingzhou families can clearly see the situation clearly.

"Of course, General Anton will not let you suffer. As long as you can assist General Anton in taking charge of Jingzhou in the past six months, you will also have things that the Yangzhou family has, such as fiefdoms."
