Shortly after Wang Qiang, Liu Zhu and Ou Xiong left, Liu Jing sent Zheng Zheng to go south to Pingyang and Zhongshui Township on their behalf to inspect the flood situation.
Pingyang and Zhongshui townships are his rear areas, and now there are hundreds of thousands of people from Lingxian County. If tens of thousands of Jingzhou Army prisoners were not waiting for him to deal with, and he was too busy to do anything, he would definitely go there in person.
After excluding the more than 2,000 soldiers who surrendered from Changsha, the Jingzhou army captured about 30,000 water and infantry soldiers, including more than 7,000 water soldiers, more than 7,000 soldiers, and more than 22,000 infantry and cavalry.
Jingzhou's soldiers are generally composed of three parts. One is Liu Biao's direct line of the state army, with a total number of more than 10,000 people. Most of the family members of these soldiers were moved to Xiangyang by Liu Biao, and they were like hostages, so it was difficult to take them into his own hands.
Even if they were willing to surrender, Liu Jing would not dare to accept it. Who knows whether they would be bewitched by Liu Biao in the future and betray him again.
The second is the Guanxi soldiers composed of the refugees from Guanzhong and the soldiers surrendered from Liangzhou. There are about 4,000 people in this group, who serve as cavalry and spearmen for Liu Biao's army. At the end of last year, Sun Ce marched into Jiangxia, and Liu Biao's nephew Liu Hu and Nanyang Han Xi took 5,000 soldiers. The Guanxi Spear rescued Huang Zu, but was eventually defeated by Sun Ce.
The refugees from Guanzhong mainly live in the western part of Nanyang County, from Zhuyang to Wuguan, from Mianshui to Danshui, and there are tens of thousands of them. Because they are displaced people who live in the same household, rather than being unified residents under the rule of Jingzhou, they are therefore Liu Biao had never paid taxes, so Liu Biao had no choice but to select strong and brave men, give him generous amounts of gold and silk, and recruit them as soldiers.
To put it bluntly, whether they were refugees in Guanzhong or soldiers surrendered in Liangzhou, they all used money to do things and did not have much loyalty to Liu Biao.
Liu Jing could definitely bring them under his command, and most of the thousands of soldiers who surrendered in Liangzhou were Yang Ding's old troops. With Han Guang's prestige in Yang Ding's army in the past, he didn't even have to ask, and the soldiers who surrendered would actively join him.
The third was a group of private soldiers led by local heroes in Nanjun, totaling about 7,000 people. Since they were not direct descendants of Liu Biao, not many died in the battle. Most of them were relatively "sane" and were the first to surrender to Liu Jingjun.
The most important thing in Liu Jing's heart is these local heroes in Nanjun. First of all, letting them serve as the leading party in the northern expedition to Jingbei in the future will definitely achieve the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
Secondly, Liu Jing saw many familiar names in this surrender list.
For example, Huo Jun led hundreds of troops to defend the isolated city for a year in history. In the end, he defeated the many with less, beheaded the enemy, and achieved extraordinary achievements. Unfortunately, he died prematurely and failed to show his talents. His son Huo Jun Ge is also a famous general who has guarded the south for a long time. Huo Jun is now only a commander in another department, and the man in charge of the army is his brother Huo Du, the captain of the bandit camp.
Another example is Gao Xiang, who was an important general during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition. Under Zhuge Liang's command, he teamed up with Wei Yan and others to defeat Sima Yi, and won the title of 3,000-level armor leader, 5,000 collars of mysterious armor, and 3,000 horned crossbows.
Another example is Feng Xi. His reputation is not known and his deeds are lost. We only know that Liu Bei served as the governor during the Eastern Campaign against Sun Wu. The Shu Han Dynasty was defeated in the Battle of Yiling. There were many civil and military casualties, and Feng Xi was one of them. And this The generals who survived the war basically became the pillars of the Shu Han Dynasty. If Feng Xi had not died, he would have made a difference.
Although all three of them can be regarded as good generals for a while, there is someone in the Jingzhou army who Liu Jing values more, and there is more than one person, one is Huang Zhong and the other is Wei Yan.
If Wei Yan could have died a good death and had great achievements in bravery, he would be ranked with Guan, Zhang, Ma, Huang and Zhao. Unfortunately, his character was arrogant and arrogant, which ultimately led to disaster, and he was really the one to blame.
Of course, although Wei Yan's character was so bad that he was "avoided by everyone", he eventually abandoned his official duties for private purposes and ended up dead, all because he lost the restraints on his head. If Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang
Still here, even with the help of Wei Yan's eight courages, he would not dare to do anything wrong. He is still the general who fought against foreign enemies for the Shu Han and became famous among the enemy countries.
Liu Jing believed that he should be able to control Wei Yan, especially since Wei Yan was surrendering. Liu Jing would definitely get his death power if he pulled him out of the system.
Huang Zhong appeared on the list of injured. When Liu Jing learned that he had been hit by five arrows and was seriously injured, he was really shocked.
If this famous five tiger generals in the history of the Three Kingdoms died in his own hands in such an unexplained way, Liu Jing would really be in tears.
Liu Jing specially summoned the military doctor for this purpose and told him that he must use the best doctors and the best gold medicine... In short, Huang Zhong must be completely cured at any cost.
Hearing Liu Jing's words, the military doctor was confused. Although Huang Zhong was promoted to a captain, there were many Jingzhou military captains captured this time, as well as several Zhonglang generals. Why did Liu Jing only regard Huang Zhong in a different light?
How important is this?
Naturally, Liu Jing would not explain the military doctor's doubts. After sending him away, he began to summon the surrendered generals. Not surprisingly, Wei Yan was ranked first.
Wei Yan, who was imprisoned in the boat, was shocked when he heard that Liu Jing was preparing to receive him.
When he joined the army last year, he was only a garrison general. He was promoted to commander for his meritorious service in the attack on Linxiang. He was officially appointed as a commander of another department a few days ago. With his status, he is not even qualified to enter the Chinese army's headquarters. The rank of Jingzhou officer is
There were at least dozens of people above him, and no one could get his turn.
Full of suspicion, Wei Yan arrived at the city gate tower under the escort of a group of soldiers.
"I am in the next Zhangling Wei Yan Wei Wenchang to pay my respects to Liu Jun..."
Liu Jing, who was dressed in rich clothes and wearing a long sword at his waist, sat upright and quietly looked at Wei Yan, who was prostrating on the ground. He looked to be in his early twenties. Although he was not very old, his facial lines were quite strong and his eyebrows were strong.
It was thick, thick and black, and its eyes were piercing, but it was already the first sight of something majestic.
Liu Jinglang stood up with a smile, walked to Wei Yan, helped him up, and said: "The Northern Army has surrendered hundreds of generals, but I was the first to call you here. Do you know why?"
This is what Wei Yan was confused about. He had already thought about it when he came, but he could never find a reasonable explanation. "I am vulgar and ignorant. I hope Liu Jun can tell me."
Liu Jing ignored Yu Zheng who was holding a halberd and looked at him frequently, and pulled Wei Yan to the window, pointed outside and said: "Twenty days ago, I was standing here when I saw Chang Wen ascending the city wall and shouting to fight hard.
, invincible."
When Wei Yan heard this, he suddenly realized that Liu Jing had noticed him a long time ago. Then he remembered that Cai Sheng had cut his arm and ran away in panic, and his face immediately darkened.
Liu Jing added: "The power of the chief writer was unstoppable for a while. I was very anxious at the time. Later, Cai Hongchao personally took action and stopped him. Has the chief article heard the name of Cai Hongchao?"
Wei Yan nodded slightly, but he only learned about Cai Sheng recently. Cai Sheng was one of the four guards in Ling County, and his status was the same as that of Chu Fang. Among the Jingzhou army, Liu Jing's generals were the most famous.
There is no doubt that it belongs to Chu Fang. After all, the two sides fought in Linxiang for many years. Although Cai Sheng is not well-known, he can keep pace with Chu Fang. Naturally, he is not an ordinary person.
But even so, Wei Yan was still worried about being injured in Cai Sheng's hands. He believed that the opponent was lucky enough to defeat him only because of the strong armor. If neither of the two sides were wearing armor, he would definitely be able to kill Cai Sheng with a sword.
Down.
Liu Jing continued: "Cai Hongchao is our leading hero in Changsha. He is brave and good at fighting. I have tens of thousands of water infantry soldiers under my command. There are only two or three people who can compare with him. Wen Chang can actually fight with Cai Hongchao."
He has come and gone, and he must be a strong general who can conquer all three armies."
Wei Yan looked dissatisfied, but he couldn't open his mouth to refute Liu Jing, and his face turned red from holding back.
Of course Liu Jing knew why Wei Yan was like this and what kind of character the latter was. He understood it very well. He smiled and changed the subject and said, "By the way, where is Zhang Ling from, Zhang Ling?"
Wei Yan replied: "New Savage."
Liu Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "My wife is the new savage."
Wei Yandao: "To be fair to Liu Jun, when Liu Jun came to Xinye to personally welcome Deng's family, Xinye and outside were excited. I was also on the roadside watching the grand occasion of Liu Jun personally welcoming the motorcade. Even though it has been several years, I still can't forget it."
Liu Jing couldn't help but smile: "So you and I still have such a connection."
