Finally, several people discussed and decided to send Zhuge Liang to Jingzhou.
Originally, Zhou Yu wanted to go on his own, but there was a feud between Jiangdong and Jingzhou, and Zhou Yu led his troops to attack Jingzhou countless times, so he definitely couldn't go.
As for Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan or Cao Cao, forget it, they are not called handsome guys, they are just about the same as the old gang.
The only handsome guy present was Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang is pretty good-looking, with a talented appearance, a feather fan, a silk scarf, and a sharp tongue. He is the most suitable person to go to.
So Zhuge Liang came to Jingzhou with the same mission as Jiang Siming to pick up girls, and successfully met Mrs. Cai.
Zhuge Liang is also smart. He did not go to see Mrs. Cai as soon as he arrived. Instead, he found a substitute to find out the details on his behalf first.
"Are you Zhuge Kongming? The counselor who betrayed King Ming?" After Mrs. Cai saw the substitute, she didn't expect to have heard about Zhuge Liang's identity.
Then... there was nothing more for him. Not only did he fail to pick up a girl, but his double was also imprisoned by Mrs. Cai, ready to be dealt with by Jiang Siming.
The substitute was afraid of death and immediately revealed the cause and effect. Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cai immediately led people to arrest Zhuge Liang.
Who would have thought that this kid Zhuge Liang greased the soles of his feet and ran out of Jingzhou in advance.
After returning to Jiangdong in embarrassment, Zhuge Liang told everyone the news in defeat, and his plan to seduce Mrs. Cai was in vain.
Shortly after Zhuge Liang returned to Jiangdong, great changes occurred in Jingzhou!
Cai Mao secretly opened the city gate and let Jiang Bei's army enter the city.
Three hundred thousand soldiers in the city either surrendered or were killed. In just one night, Jingzhou's situation changed.
On the city tower, the royal flag of Jiangbei was planted.
After Liu Biao learned about it, his already failing body could not withstand this huge blow, and he died without swallowing a single breath.
As soon as Liu Biao died, Jingzhou completely lost its backbone. Most of Liu Biao's old ministers chose to surrender, while a few loyal ones fled Jingzhou with their young master in an attempt to make a comeback.
Jiang Siming didn't send troops to chase him. A short-lived ghost like Liu Qi didn't need to be chased. He would kill himself.
As for Liu Biao, Jiang Siming still arranged a grand burial to save his face.
In the Jingzhou City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Siming sat in Liu Biao's seat. Under him, in addition to his generals, there were also Liu Biao's old ministers.
Cai Mao stood at the front, waiting happily for the reward.
But how could Jiang Siming let Cai Mao continue to stay in Jingzhou? If he takes over a place, he must dig out the old officials and disrupt it.
Otherwise, who can guarantee that they will not surrender a second time.
"Cai Mao, you should be the first to win Jingzhou this time."
When Jiang Siming said this, Cai Mao felt extremely happy, as if he had heard that Jiang Siming appointed him as the governor of New Jingzhou.
"I will appoint you as the governor of Jingzhou and take charge of the affairs of Jingzhou."
Cai Mao was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed to accept the order.
Guo Jia and Pang Tong hesitated to speak, thinking that their lord had said the wrong thing, but at the next sentence, they all showed fox-like smiles.
"Cai Mao, you will go to Chang'an from now on and wait for your appointment."
Cai Mao was dumbfounded and said: "King Ming...he is in Chang'an, how can he manage Jingzhou?"
Jiang Siming replied with a smile: "If I'm in Chang'an, won't you still manage the six continents? You are in the Dragon Palace, leading Jingzhou from afar. Don't worry, your official position and salary will never change. I can also give you a hereditary
You should be satisfied with the position of Marquis, right?"
The implication is that Jiang Siming imprisoned him in Chang'an to protect your prosperity and wealth, but don't think of any more evil ideas.
Upon hearing this, Cai Mao had no choice but to accept his fate, accepted the seal, and left dejectedly.
He didn't have much ability to begin with, and Jiang Siming couldn't possibly reuse him. Instead of doing this, it would be better to end up with a title and enjoy glory and wealth for the rest of his life.
As soon as Cai Mao left, Jiang Siming opened his mouth again and said, "Where is Xu Shuhua Xin?"
"I'm here."
"Gu appointed Xu Shu as the shepherd of Jingzhou, and temporarily managed the affairs of Jingzhou for Gu. Hua Xin was the chief secretary, assisting Xu Shu in managing the affairs of Jingzhou, ensuring that Jingzhou not only calmed down in the shortest time, but also became Gu's next war.
Barriers and food depend on it, do you understand?"
"Here!"
Pang Tong, who was below, said with a smile: "My lord is worthy of being my lord. This move is really brilliant."
Guo Jia looked at him and laughed softly: "Don't let me hear you, otherwise I will punish you without drinking for a month."
After Pang Tong heard this, he immediately kept silent. He could be punished with anything, but he could not be punished with drinking...
The rest was much easier to handle. Under Jiang Siming's arrangement, Jingzhou's management team completely changed its look.
And Jiang Siming also gained another state, with more than 200,000 generals collected, and Jingzhou's grain and grass supplies were countless. It can be said that he made a lot of money as soon as he left the army.
After everything was arranged and all the subordinates went out, a servant ran in.
"I would like to report to King Ming that my wife Cai is hosting a banquet in the palace. She hopes that King Ming will show her favor and move away."
Jiang Siming slapped his forehead and almost forgot about Mrs. Cai. It was over, Jingzhou had taken it, but now there was another woman for whom he needed to be responsible.
This is embarrassing. He was forced to pick up Mrs. Cai because of those dog-headed military advisors.
Now that Jingzhou has been deceived, how will he deal with Mrs. Cai?
It wouldn't be a bad idea not to go. After all, Jingzhou was given to him, which saved him many soldiers from sacrificing their lives, a big war and countless armament consumption.
And when Zhuge Liang came, she helped to catch him, but she just let him run away.
In terms of credit, Mrs. Cai definitely deserves the first credit, and her credit is much greater than that of Cai Mao.
If Mrs. Cai were a man, he would definitely reward her as a prefect.
But the key point is, there is no reason for women to be officials in ancient times. Besides, Mrs. Cai doesn't want this kind of reward, okay?
After thinking for a long time, Jiang Siming finally agreed to go to the appointment, just to express his gratitude, and then directly said that he lied to her for Jingzhou City.
At most, she would scold her and make her hate him, and then he would reward her as a first-class wife and live a life of wealth and honor, and that would be the end of it.
Thinking of this, Jiang Siming felt calm again.
At night, Jiang Siming came to Mrs. Cai's residence. Mrs. Cai prepared a table full of banquets and dressed up like a pretty lady in pink.
Jiang Siming was stunned for a while. Mrs. Cai was wearing red clothes. If she confessed later and was so angry that she committed suicide, would she turn into a red-clothed ghost and seek his life...
"Jiang Lang, what are you watching this person do..." Seeing Jiang Siming staring at her, Mrs. Cai thought she was fascinated by her beauty and said shyly.
"Ahem, I was just blinded by the beautiful scenery." Jiang Siming explained awkwardly.
Mrs. Cai pursed her lips, feeling extremely happy. She invited Jiang Siming to sit down and poured him wine gently.
After three rounds of drinking, Mrs. Cai looked drunk and her eyes were blurred. She stood up on her own initiative and fell into Jiang Siming's arms...
